Chapter 180: Not Tempted
Yiliang was dumbfounded when he heard this, he knew that the crow. The film is profitable, but I didn't expect the profit to reach such a terrifying level, no wonder the crow. The smuggling of pieces has been banned repeatedly, and it is getting more and more intense, and such a huge profit is enough to make all businessmen crazy!
Growing crows in vassal countries. pieces, you can earn 16 million taels of silver a year! He didn't know what Emperor Daoguang would think when he saw this suggestion, anyway, he was a little dry-mouthed, and after reaching out to ask for tea, he took a few sips of tea before he said suspiciously: "Crow. The cost of a piece is only twenty taels of silver for a box? ”
Yi Zhishu nodded and said, "After the collapse of the East India Company, the crows. Various details of the piece are also gradually leaking out, and these data are all British crows. The filmmaker shook it out. ”
So that's the case, it seems that these data are still relatively credible, even if there is moisture, it will not be too big, glancing at Yi Zhicontent, Yiliang couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's easy to earn this silver." As he spoke, he said hatefully, "Crow. Smuggling must be forbidden! ”
Listen to him only say that he wants to ban crows. pieces of smuggling instead of strictly forbidding crows. Piece, Yi Zhixiang smiled secretly in his heart, did not interject, took a sip of tea, he changed the topic, and said: "Last year, the thirteen lines were ordered by the Guangdong Customs to introduce railway trains in order to prepare for the needs of the imperial court.
The construction of railways not only requires a large number of machinery and equipment, the preparation of corresponding steel mills and machine manufacturing plants, but also the training of a large number of relevant technical personnel and translators, and the imperial court's ban on foreigners also needs to be appropriately relaxed. "These things, the local governor does not dare to make his own decisions." Yiliang said with a smile: "However, don't worry, I will send the excerpt to Jingshi today with an expedited eight hundred miles." ”
"Thank you, Lord for your understanding." Yi Zhizhi said and asked, "I wonder how long it will take to approve this fold?" ”
"It's hard to say." Yiliang pondered and said: "Contentment also knows that at present, there is a call for a ban on smoking in the whole country, and the emperor's attitude towards the ban on smoking is also very resolute. I'm afraid that this fold will not be approved for a while. After a pause, he said: "The affairs of the Thirteen Lines, local officials generally do not meddle in things, even if there are prohibitions, most of them are blind eyes, the problem is Guangdong Customs." ”
Yi Zhizhi said: "The Wenxiang Inspector of Guangdong Customs knows about this. ”
"Contentment, I don't know that the supervision of Guangdong Customs has been replaced?" Yiliang glanced at him with some surprise. Said: "Your thirteen lines of news is too ill-informed, the supervision of Guangdong Customs has been replaced, the new superintendent is Yu Kun, transferred from Jiangning Weaving, and he should be able to take office this month." ”
At this juncture, has the Guangdong Customs Superintendent been replaced? It's easy to be content, is this a good thing or a bad thing? It shouldn't be that Daoguang has changed his mind again, it won't be ordinary trouble!
Huang Juezi's "Please Strictly Prohibit Leakage to Cultivate the Ability of the Country" has caused great repercussions and controversy in the government and the opposition, and the focus is to use the death penalty to severely punish crow smoking. Filmmaker. Of course, the reason why there is such a big impact is because of Daoguang's attitude towards this excerpt, and the governors of the provinces did not dare to be contemptuous, and they all brainstormed and convened local officials to debate, and then turned back.
Jingshi, the Forbidden City. Nourishing Heart Palace, East Warm Pavilion.
The fifty-six-year-old Daoguang Emperor reviewed the folds one by one. He was extremely concerned and concerned about the attitude of the governors of various provinces towards the ban on smoking, and he knew very well in his heart that the attitude of the governors was enough to influence and influence the attitudes of officials in two provinces or one province.
What made him feel a little relieved. The local governors who have played back are all strongly advocating the strict prohibition of opium, but for the punishment of crow smoking as a capital crime. The filmmaker did this, but no one agreed. The governors either explicitly opposed or questioned it, but none of them supported it.
There are still people who agree with the proposal to give smokers a one-year time limit to rehabilitate themselves, but only two or three people are in favor of officials who smoke crows. In addition to the punishment of the offender, the proposal that his children and grandchildren should not be allowed to participate in the scientific examination is a voice of opposition.
Most of the governors are strong advocates of plugging the source and curbing the crows from the source. Smuggling of opium, intensify the control of opium smuggling in Guangdong, strengthen supervision and supervision of coastal officials and soldiers, and severely punish the trafficking of opium. For those who smoke, admonishment is the main punishment and secondary.
The chief eunuch Zhang Erhan tiptoed in with a small yellow box, and when he saw Daoguang reading the folds with a focused expression, he didn't dare to say anything, so he waited quietly.
After reviewing a fold, Daoguang raised his head and glanced at him, Zhang Erhan hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, this is a secret fold sent by Yiliang, the governor of Guangdong." As he spoke, he leaned down and placed the box on top of the table.
Yiliang's secret fold? Is Yiliang against the strict prohibition of crows. Slice? Otherwise, why use a dense fold? Daoguang quietly opened the lock, took out the fold, glanced at it quickly, his brows furrowed, and then opened the three suggestions written by Yi Zhizhi, read them carefully, thought for a moment, he looked at it again, and then looked up at the caisson with a face.
Easy to meet the suggestion of planting crows in the vassal country. piece, the income of tens of millions of taels of silver a year really made him excited, this is equivalent to the tax paid by several medium-sized provinces in a year, he is a little afraid to imagine, if this fold is Mingfa, what kind of sensation will it cause? That would definitely lead to a debate on an unprecedented scale!
Crow. The profit of the film is so large, it is something he didn't expect, it is estimated that there are few people who know it clearly, why can Yi Zhishu know it so clearly? Is it also involved in the crows. Piece smuggling? Thinking about it, he knows the situation of Yijiafu Taixing, and he still owes 400,000 yuan in business debts last year, and if it is smuggling, it will not fall to that point.
Waving his hand to retreat a few eunuchs, Daoguang got up and paced slowly back and forth in the room, the treasury was empty, and the income of tens of millions of taels of silver a year was really moving, but compared to the prohibition of crows. piece, he did not hesitate to choose to ban the crow. Slice for crows. He had a pain in his skin, and he used to smoke crows when he was young. Piece addicted and clearly know the crow. The dangers of the piece, but also the crow. The flood of films has seriously endangered the Qing Dynasty, which is more important, how can he not weigh it clearly?
Rather, it is analyzed from the perspective of trade between the East and the West. The root of the smuggling made him feel refreshed, although this Yi Zhizhi was young, he could see what people had never seen, what people had not said, and what suggestions he put forward, which were novel and feasible, but he was too bold.
Railways were built on a large scale to make up for the ban on foreign businessmen. Is it necessary to lose the film? Daoguang frowned and paced a few laps, always uncertain, and built the railway on a large scale, involving too many aspects. (To be continued.) )
