Rebirth of Prince Gong's Mansion

Chapter 495 The ban on smoking pills ruined the opium industry

Everything is moving in a good direction. What makes Fan Ze most happy is the launch of the anti-smoking pill, which has really benefited a large number of people.

"My lord, from what I have learned from various places, everyone supports the launch of the ban smoking pills, and many families have been rescued again." Xiao Shanzi looked at Fan Ze with full respect, knowing that the current situation is opium. Sales are shrinking.

Fan Ze's heart moved, and he asked, "Has the opium imported from overseas decreased?"

"Yes, opium is no longer imported overseas. A large number of people no longer smoke opium after taking the anti-smoking pills. Many people who hoard a large amount of opium have lost money."

"Since this is the case, you can make arrangements to spread the refining technology of our anti-smoking pills for free."

"My lord, this is also a matter of money. Although our price is already the cheapest, there are many people who can't afford to buy it, and there is a considerable profit every day."

Fan Ze knew in his heart that he came here to earn merit, and making money is secondary. Now besides China, there are still a large number of people who smoke opium abroad. If this production technology spreads, he can still gain from it. A merit.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that this matter should be done. It doesn't matter if there is no merit, anyway, I have made a lot of money in this matter.

In a residence in the capital, many opium sellers have arrived, and everyone's faces are not very good-looking.

Sitting in the middle was a westerner, his eyes cast on everyone, and he said in a very jerky Chinese: "You are all our agents, since the opium trade, you have obtained a lot of money from it. Interest, now I just got the news that your Majesty the Emperor is about to teach the production technology of anti-smoking pills for free."

boom……

Everyone looked at the foreigner in shock.

You must know that the shops that belong to the government now sell them, which has left them nowhere to go. If the production technology is taught for free now, I don’t know how many people will learn it, and there will be no overseas markets by then.

"How could Your Majesty do this? This is going to cut off our way!" Someone who understood it exclaimed.

"If you let your Majesty teach it, not only China, but also the opium industry around the world will be hit hard. Do you know what the consequences are? This is to completely cut off our opium industry!"

A businessman said with a wry smile, "What else can we do?"

Yes, what else can I do, that is the emperor's will.

"There are too many people profiting from the opium trade. Everyone should take action. We must completely destroy this technology. Therefore, I think it's time for your emperor to change."

Seeing that everyone was still worried, the foreigner smiled and said, "Do you know that this has touched the interests of too many countries, especially the United Kingdom. They dumped a lot of opium, and the benefits will be even greater. They have long wanted to use force." The market of the Qing Dynasty has been opened, so now you just need to cooperate. A powerful fleet is coming towards the Qing Dynasty. What you are doing is to use your powerful influence to stir up riots everywhere and help the British coalition forces attack .”

Hearing this, everyone's faces finally became happy.

"Didn't the British fleet be struck by lightning last time?" Someone said hesitantly.

"That's just a natural disaster, just an accident. Besides, that fleet is very small and doesn't have much strength. This time, in addition to battleships, there are also troop carriers. A coalition force will come together. I believe that under the new weapons, you will be able to Those cold weapons of the Qing Dynasty have no resistance."

"Great, if this is the case, all non-smoking shops everywhere can be abandoned."

"No, no, there is no need to discard it. You can increase the price to a level that everyone can't afford it. At that time, the feeling of smoking opium will attract a large number of people to smoke, and the anti-smoking pill can relieve the addiction. It can make money."

Everyone's eyes are bright, this is a kind of monopoly, only in this way, will earn more money.

"We will do our best to cooperate."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

What they didn't know was that when they were discussing here, Fan Ze had already obtained the content of their entire discussion.

Seeing the news in the newspaper, Fan Ze also laughed. What he was waiting for was those people who would do something, nothing could be broken or built. Fan Ze has never been able to find an excuse to make trouble. If someone makes trouble, he can kill a lot of people. It is best to kill all the old landlords and gentry, so as not to affect their own development.

Looking at Suo Le, Fan Ze said, "I don't need to tell you what to do?"

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that the matter will be handled properly."

Fan Ze is still satisfied with Soler's execution ability, they are the ones who know best what they want to do.

Looking at the content of the information again, Fan Ze said to himself: "It's another fleet, I don't know how many will come this time."

Fan Ze had already thought about it. The biggest reason why the Western powers were able to invade was that they could transport troops here. As long as they had their own existence, they would not be able to send people ashore at all. There would be no land on the entire territory of the Qing Dynasty. There will be so many things going on.

As for the small amount of resisting forces, even if Fan Ze didn't go out himself, the troops from all over the world were enough to wipe them out.

What about those who went to Europe now?

Fan Ze thought of those people, and thought that the matter of communication really needed to be resolved. If according to the historical process, the telegraph would not appear until 1837, he should let people research it first.

Thinking of this, Fan Ze figured out all the principles of the telegraph, and then asked people to hand it over to the Royal Academy of Sciences, and let those people conduct research.

In fact, apart from the Chinese in the Royal Academy of Sciences, Fan Ze also brought in a lot of foreigners. They did not know how they came to the territory of the Qing Dynasty, and then they were discovered by the people of the Qing Dynasty. Under the source of life, seeing that the Qing Dynasty was willing to support the remuneration, they all entered the Royal Academy of Sciences.

Until then, after enjoying the luxurious life of Qing officials, they all made up their minds to develop here.

Now the biggest trouble for Fan Ze is the translation of technical documents in Europe. Therefore, he is also constantly tinkering with the equipment in the portable space, and even upgraded the computing center. come out.

Since the automatic translation system came into existence, Fan Ze was really liberated, and more western scientific and technological knowledge was translated and sent to the Royal Academy of Sciences.
