"If an official becomes addicted to drugs, he or she will be dismissed immediately, and all his family property will be confiscated. Ordinary people who become addicted to drugs will be punished with hard labor for ten years."

This can be said to be the most stringent law.

"Your Majesty has thought carefully and I agree." Hu Jijiu was the first to stand up.

Apart from this, except for Zhang Zhenghai who stood up and agreed, everyone else seemed to be thinking.

Song Shangshu asked: "Your Majesty, is this too harsh? Some of them did not contract the disease on purpose. If we generalize, it will be counterproductive."

Luo Tingye thought what he said made sense, "I'm not an unreasonable person, so if I find out I'm addicted to drugs the first time, I'll criticize and warn, and force him to detoxify. If he finds out the second time, he'll be severely punished."

Song Shangshu breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Majesty is wise."

"My move is not against anyone, but for the future of Jin Dynasty and for the people of the world." Luo Tingye's voice was cold and low, with a bit of undoubted domineering.

"I agree."

"I also agree."

"I agree."

In one day, all the drug addicts from each family were sent to the Taoist temple outside the city. They were all men, the youngest was only thirteen years old.

One of them was the only child in the family. When he was brought in, his family almost cried their eyes out.

Once a person is sent to a Taoist temple, he can only meet again one month later.

It was originally scheduled for half a month, but after Hu Jijiu learned that it was easy to relapse, he forcefully forced Luo Tingye to change the time to one month.

After Hubu learned that all the expenses during the drug rehabilitation period were borne by the family, he no longer objected and even strongly agreed.

At least fifty taels of silver per household.

After learning the price, some people still wanted to bargain. Sun Ming, who was in charge of the matter, refused to accept it. You are unwilling to pay, why are we unwilling to accept it?

Do you really think it’s easy to quit drug addiction? If it’s really that easy, why would you send me here?

The family didn't dare to refuse after hearing this, so they obediently brought the money and sent the person in with kind words.

"Master Sun, I leave my son to you."

"Master Sun, my brother is only twenty this year. He is still young and does not even have a child. Please save him."

"Master Sun, I leave everything to you."

"..."

People over fifty years old begged Sun Ming, treating him as a life-saving straw.

Sun Ming felt extremely helpless. He wanted them to be cold to him rather than enthusiastic.

"My lords, Your Majesty only asked me to be responsible for the safety of the Taoist temple. The specific method of detoxification depends on several imperial doctors and doctors."

As soon as he finished speaking, the enthusiastic crowd dispersed.

Sun Ming felt that they just had nothing to do.

"Instead of guarding here, you should go investigate how your family became addicted to drugs. I guess you don't want this group of people to continue to harm your family!"

Only then did everyone remember that the drug addiction might relapse. When they thought of their families suffering inside, the adults also hoped that the court could catch this group of people quickly and cut them into pieces.

As a result, the number of people staying in the Taoist temple suddenly decreased.

Twenty-three people were sent on the first day, ten more were sent on the second day, and five were sent on the third day...

After Jiang Qian learned about this number, he guessed that some officials did not want the children at home to lose their future, so they deliberately did not send people here. They simply asked the Ministry of Supervision to take action and forcibly sent all those addicted to drugs to Taoist temples. Not only that, they also issued an edict to reprimand these families.

At the same time, schools in various states and counties were ordered to ask students to go to the countryside to publicize the dangers of elephant rice. If anyone can provide clues, the court will reward them.

This is the first time Luo Tingye has given an order to the school since he came to the throne. It can also be said that it is the first time this dynasty has directly allowed students to participate in the management of the court.

The students even felt His Majesty's expectations and trust in them, and they were very energetic for a while, which was more effective than the government officials going to the countryside to publicize.

Luo Tingye also tasted the benefits and decided to use the school to promote government decrees in the future.

At the same time, Guo Xing found a clue after integrating clues from various families, and arrested the group with lightning speed.

Guo Xing discovered that they were actually the same group as the previous merchants in the capital. After learning that they had manpower in various places, Guo Xing immediately told Luo Tingye about this.

Luo Tingye immediately ordered various places to launch anti-smoking operations.

No matter it is rice leaf or other cigarettes, you are not allowed to smoke.

At the same time, each family also used their own connections to spread the news.

The effect is surprisingly good.

"Hongshi Village is a small and remote village. On weekdays, almost no one in the village comes out. About five years ago, a businessman went to their village and gave them some seeds for free for them to plant. "

Guo Xing continued: "Businessmen said that after planting it, they spent a lot of money to buy it. Not many families planted it in the first year. In the following years, almost every household planted elephant rice."

"Where is the village?"

"In Yazhou."

Yazhou!

Luo Tingye had a headache, "You don't have to go to Yazhou, I will let others go. I have asked various places to send people addicted to drugs to the capital and deal with them together. You are responsible for this matter first. There must be some people among them." Those who have been wronged should be careful."

"Yes."

Guo Xing didn't want to continue the investigation. Firstly, Yazhou was too far away. Secondly, the folk customs in Yazhou were not good. If there was a war, he didn't want to lose his life.

In the early morning, a hoarse voice came from the backyard of the Taoist temple.

"Ah, I want to smoke, give it to me, give it to me!"

The soldier guarding the gate was used to it. He took out his ears, took out a piece of cloth from his pocket and stuffed it into his ears.

After a while, shouts, threats, begging for mercy, and pleas came from inside one after another.

The usually aloof young men were now like fish out of water, tied to the bed, breathing heavily and mumbling incessantly.

Dr. Lu reluctantly cheered up, walked into a room, examined and prescribed medicine, all at once, without stopping for even a moment.

Seeing these embarrassed and inhuman young men being tortured, they would comfort them a few times at first, but after being tortured for a few days, they got used to it.

Doctor Ruan and him looked at each other and exchanged a look.

Soon, the doctor in charge of other rooms also came back.

"Lu Yuanzheng, the man in room A bit his tongue and wanted to die but was stopped. The man in room B hit his head on the bed and fainted."

In the past few days, they had seen many people who committed suicide and self-mutilation, but they could no longer make any waves at this moment.

"Have you notified their families?"

"Notified, I should be back in the afternoon."
