Bailuyuan, I am Bai Xiaowen

Chapter 162 Destruction
I went to watch my own military training.

Training is never left behind.

"Captain, something happened in the regiment. During the time you left, I found some heavy smokers in the regiment."

Bai Xiaowen was stunned for a moment, as someone still dared to do something that was clearly prohibited.

But yes, the land in Guanzhong has been growing tobacco since the previous dynasty, and it has been banned repeatedly.

Bai Xiaowen went to find the head of the security team.

"I have some ideas for Zishui that I want to implement, and I would like your support when the time comes."

"I will fully cooperate with whatever Captain Bai says."

He knew everything about Bai Xiaowen. As the leader of the security group, he was far inferior to the independent group.

"Thank you, then I'll go first."

"Stay for a quick dinner."

"No, I have something else to do."

"Sir, he is Captain Bai, he looks so young."

"This man is not an easy man. He has killed bandits, gangs, and Japanese. He has killed many people. He is really a ruthless character. You should never provoke him no matter what."

Bai Xiaowen's confidence lies in his three thousand soldiers.

They are all three thousand soldiers and horses with fighting capacity.

Well equipped.

It was completely different from the security team at this time.

The security team is paid a lot of money.

There are many smokers.

There are more species grown in the northwest.

Now the economic center of gravity has begun to shift southward.

The conditions in Jiangnan are slightly better.

But there are also many people who grow tobacco.

Bai Xiaowen wanted to make a trip and destroy all the smoke seedlings.After all, it was his hometown. Zhu Juren had destroyed it once in Bailuyuan, but he didn't expect it to be there again.

Zhong Dayan, the people above must only know about it.

When the local powers-that-be were unable to meet demand by plundering people's fat and oil, they began to focus on the lucrative tobacco business.

Force various regions to grow tobacco, and even punish or reward places that fail to meet or exceed the standards.

The geographical conditions in the southwest are better.

The tobacco grown is of good quality.

Huge profits have been brought by the smoke.

Nowadays, planting is everywhere, and it has long been regarded as a common thing.

Even the salaries of those armies depended on taxes from local tobacco cultivation.

The taxes are too heavy.

There is a shortage of money everywhere.

Especially the Queen Mother owed so much money to the foreign devils and has been paying it back.

According to data, there are more than 1000 million people smoking cigarettes.

Basically, one in thirty Chinese smokes cigarettes.

Such a large proportion exists in the northwest, and Zishui naturally also exists.

People's energy and spirit are ruined, and those security groups are basically useless.

When doing things for yourself, the first thing you need to do is not smoke too much.

Peasants have abandoned their labor, soldiers have lost their fighting spirit, and students have ruined their future.

The profits are huge.

Many master craftsmen who make smoke and clay are a profession.

The burning technique of identifying the origin and grade of opium tobacco, boiling the floating tobacco of cooked opium opium, and making the smoke paste into smokeable bubbles.

There was such a master in Zishui.

There is a lot to pay attention to when tasting soil.

There is a silver drill handed down by a teacher, who can tell exactly where the soil is grown, what grade it is, and what kind of technology it uses just by gently scratching the black opium and sniffing it. The smoke bubbles produced by firing are the most refreshing.

What about the famous water slurry from the northwest, the best cloud soil from the southwest, treasures from the northeast, specialties from North China, and yellow arsenic from northern Sichuan?No matter how much the tobacco dealer brags, as long as the master takes action, the good and the bad will be judged.The opium shop can buy good products at low prices time and time again and make huge profits.

When solidified into a paste, it is necessary to float the smoke.

The first-class cooking also requires designated utensils such as copper pots, Nanzhi, Jingtan, etc., which is quite particular.

The master chef would add ginseng and other precious medicinal herbs and spices to make a unique secret recipe. Real wealthy people would buy it from him, and the price would be much higher.

Before the official smoking, but also to burn the bubbles.

The technique is superb.

There will be quite a few to watch.

The onlookers will shake their heads and taste it, and can't stop applauding.

There are such people in Zishui.

There is a boss Wu.

When others were farming, he would grow tobacco, and when others were growing tobacco, he would open a tobacco shop.

He is very business-minded and makes a lot of money.

There are many people who are jealous of his getting rich and are waiting behind his back to plot against him.

Because of this, Boss Wu also hired a lot of thugs.

There are two things I am most afraid of in the opium business. One is that I smoke it myself, and the other is that I don’t understand the goods and spend a lot of money to buy defective products.

Boss Wu abides by this rule.

He is also like Bai Xiaowen, who must not touch his own people, but sell them.

He also knew it was wrong.

But they will do anything for profit.

"Why do people smoke? Smoking is because of emptiness. That emptiness is scary, but smoke is also scary."

"Business is about supply and demand. They buy and we sell. Did I ask them to smoke? I didn't, I didn't. They smoked it themselves, and I didn't force them. It's not me at all, it's them. I forced them. Is it? I don't at all."

Basically, I will use this idea to remove all my responsibilities.

Bai Xiaowen: "Zhaohai, take a hundred cavalry and set off with me."

When Lu Zhaohai saw this situation, he thought he might kill someone again?

Immediately ordered a hundred cavalry to come.

It looks like a strong soldier.

Take people to the place.

This is a land of smoke.

There are hundreds of acres.

It's somewhat of a scale.

Bai Xiaowen immediately ordered, "Destroy them all."

A hundred horses galloped across the smoke land.

Although there are one hundred acres, Bai Xiaowen has many people.

Bai Xiaowen personally took action.

With space, the speed of destruction is faster.

There is a lot of smoky soil that has matured.

Fortunately, I came early.

Otherwise, it goes to the market again.

Such a large volume.

Destroy a batch, collect another batch, transport it to the city and destroy it.

Try not to use fire.

It's okay to burn completely.

If it is not completely burned, it will produce smoke.

It's better not to use soil now.

All the plants in this batch were destroyed.

It is estimated that the price of cigarettes around will skyrocket.

In a piece of land close to the county seat, a huge pit was built.

The one-hundred-acre goods are made in several batches and put in in turn.

Did not come to the city to destroy.

I'm afraid that if something happens.

Just outside the city gate, a little farther away.

Many people came to watch.Many people support it.

The trade of tobacco and soil has never stopped. The imperial court has ordered the ban on tobacco and soil more than once, but it has no effect, mainly because the merchants have long been aware of the rules.As the saying goes, money can make the world go round. They believe that as long as they send a box of money to the government, any ban will be empty talk.

I didn't expect Bai Xiaowen to do such a thing.

Many businessmen have not sent money yet.

What was trampled was Boss Li’s goods.

With such a large batch of goods, Boss Li went to Bai Xiaowen and said, "Master Fu, I am running a small business. You can take this thousand yuan in silver notes and give me the rest of the batch." .”

There are many mature ones.

It can be used, but the quality will be poor.

But it can also make money.

If you don't get it back, you will lose all this year.

How is his business going?

Bai Xiaowen rejected him directly.

"Put this man in jail."

He was dumbfounded, he didn't expect Bai Xiaowen to be so strong.

The most time-saving and labor-saving method is to use fire.But although burning is simple, it cannot eliminate the opium without a trace, let alone hundreds of acres of opium.You know, once the opium is not burned out, it will turn into dregs and merge with the soil. At that time, the opium dealers will bring tools, dig three feet into the ground, dig out the soil for processing, so that they can extract ten percent of opium, which is much more cost-effective than buying it yourself.

The method used by Bai Xiaowen was the same method used by Mr. Lin in Humen. It has the same effect but with different approaches.

Soaking method.

Water plus quicklime.

Soak the opium in water and lime water.

Dig two pools, surround them with solid stakes, and cover the bottom with thick stone tiles.After the pool is formed, water is introduced into the pool and a large amount of coarse salt is added.After mixing, a concentrated brine is formed.Finally, soak the tobacco soil in salt water for half a day, add lime water and stir.After a while, the soot reacted with the lime water, the pool water boiled, and the soot dissolved.

"Zhaohai, all the Wu family's opium dens are closed."

I have several soldiers here who bought them from Boss Li's store.

Cut it off at the source.

The efficiency of independent groups is still relatively fast.

The smoker was enjoying himself in the smokehouse when Zhaohai broke in with his people and took them all away without explanation.

"Come on, something happened."

"Sir, if you have anything to say, what crime have we committed?"

"By order of the captain, I came here to stop smoking."

People here are dumbfounded.

Nowadays, the so-called ban on smoking is just a superficial thing, and the opium dens can still be opened for some money. But is this attitude serious?How come other opium dens are fine?

Boss Li's wife tried to ask some relatives and friends, but these people either said there was nothing they could do, or they asked for money and said they were going to do something, but actually did nothing.

For several days, there was no news from Boss Li. No one was seen alive or dead.

Bai Xiaowen is different and will not let people go.

Within a few days, news came that Boss Li would be shot in public in ten days.

Hundreds of acres have been planted, which is considered light.

Since the First Tobacco War, smoke has become widespread across the land of China.

Various places use tobacco and soil to generate money and maintain military expenditures.

People everywhere were encouraged to plant tobacco on a large scale.

The tobacco planting area across the country accounts for several points of the cultivated land area, and is increasing year by year.

Under the erosion of the opium, people's bodies and spirits were double devastated, the nationals became indifferent and sunk, and the nation lost hope.

But I really didn’t expect Bai Xiaowen to be so cruel.

First of all, I found the largest tobacco dealer.Move too fast.

Boss Li's thug didn't even move at all, and was fucked by Bai Xiaowen.

Since then, other tobacco dealers have been trembling.

I was afraid that Bai Xiaowen would do something like this to them someday.

I really want to come.

Bai Xiaowen doesn't want smoke to appear in his territory.

He called Lu Zhaohai over again.

"Zhaohai, have you done the investigation? All the tobacco dealers you know about have been sealed up."

"Sir, this task is a bit heavy."

It's okay if it's just one family, there are many families.

And there are thugs in many places.

"Sir, I'm afraid I will encounter obstacles when the time comes."

"Anyone who dares to resist will be killed and arrested. Brothers who are injured or killed in battle, we will draw up a regulation for pensions and other matters."

An independent regiment of 3000 people.

It shouldn't be a problem to deal with some opium dens.It's just a small water supply. Chang'an is difficult to control, but water supply is not a problem.

Search opium dens.

There was a lot of movement.

The surrounding shops were all that Lu Zhaohai and the others wanted to visit.

It's all about hard work.

Just come to the door to chase people away and put a seal on them.

Those who resist will be stunned directly.

There are many smokehouses.

There are many smoke dens in any place.

Those who don't smoke naturally hate it, but there is no way.

The non-smokers around saw this and clapped their hands.

"Sir, all those opium dens have been sealed."

"Okay, make this article into a notice and send it out."

It was written about the dangers of opium smoking.

Explain your determination to stop smoking.

I have several ideas.

It is indeed good for the health of the people.

The other is to uncover all the evil forces here.

Opium dens are more or less filled with evil forces.

Let's see who refuses to accept it, and dares to provoke, just in time to kill.

Notices were posted.

Many people are watching.

Others are reading the notice: Our country is a country with a history of 5000 years. During the long years, our country has had many battles and many outstanding generals, such as the powerful emperors Qin Huangong, Qin Shi Huang, Han Wu Emperor and Li Shimin, there are many powerful generals, such as Bai Qi, Han Xin, Li Guang, Huo Qubing, etc. It can be said that people are really proud of him.

However, it has begun to decline, and we are more than a hundred years behind the world. This gap makes us a key target for bullying by other countries.

Be beaten if you fall behind.

Many foreigners have landed on our country's territory. They came to China with contempt and aggressive ambitions.Knowing that people are corrupt and backward thinking, and seeing people's corruption and cowardice, they are even more unscrupulous.

They bully our country through extortion. The Qing government, which acted like Song Huizong, only made some concessions and kept cutting off land, bit by bit the foundation of its ancestors.In order to control the people of our country, foreigners actually introduced opium. Those greedy and dirty bureaucrats did not hesitate to conspire with the invaders in order to obtain more benefits, causing many people to become infected with opium.

The poisonous smoke is a disaster that has never happened in China for 3000 years.Millions of taels of silver flow out of China every year, resulting in a shortage of silver, making silver expensive and money cheap.

Finances dry up, treasury empty.And it has seriously corrupted the social customs and destroyed the people's physical and mental health.The proliferation of opium smoke not only causes mental and physical damage, but also destroys social productivity.Business and industry depression and decline.

The danger of opium smoke lies not in its toxicity, but in its ability to induce evil in human nature.

The foreigners who look down on us are even more discriminatory towards the Chinese.

And if you want to change it, it is better than banning smoking.

The harm of opium smoke ranges from extermination of the family to the destruction of the family.

If this poison is not eliminated, the disaster will be endless.

I was so impressed after reading this article.

Very well written.

All to the point.

The ills of opium smoking have been around for a long time.

It's very difficult.

Many people clapped their hands and cheered when they saw it.

"Captain Bai is really the great master of Qingtian. His uncle is Mr. Zhu from Bailu Academy, a sage in Guanzhong, so he is certainly not bad."
