The sedan chair is at the entrance of the street outside the gate of the Governor's Palace, Yi Zhizhi stomped his feet and fell off the sedan chair, and then walked forward quickly, and saw a green sedan chair parked outside the gate of the Governor's Palace from a distance.

Yiliang, Ziyueting, Guerjia, a native of the Manchurian Zhenghong Banner, was only promoted from the post of political envoy to the governor of Guangdong in February this year. This person is not very old, only 47 years old, born in the pen-paste style of the Criminal Department, promoted to the outside of the Lang after being released to the place, all the way up, the official fortune is prosperous, successively served as the prefect of Gaozhou in Guangdong, Nanning in Guangxi, Yunnan Yanfa Dao, Shandong Salt Transport Envoy, Anhui and Jiangsu according to the inspection envoy, Jiangxi and Jiangsu political envoy.

At the end of last month, Yiliang arrived, Yi Zhishu went to pay homage, this person is in the prime of life in the feudal territory, it is estimated that he will stay in the governor of Guangdong for a few years, he will show his strength in Guangzhou in the past few years, it is the most critical years, and the big people on the ground in Guangzhou can not help but welcome.

The concierge of the Governor's Mansion was very enthusiastic about Yi Zhicontentment, and when he entered the door, a clever man hurriedly greeted him, and led him outside the second hall diligently. ”

Yi Zhishu did not wear official clothes, and when he entered the room, he saw Deng Tingzhen and Yiliang wearing official robes, he was slightly cramped, and Deng Tingzhen was already smiling and said: "Contentment is in a hurry, no need to be formal, sit." ”

With Yiliang present, Yi Zhishu didn't dare to be too casual, and after a long salute, he sat down at the bottom, Yiliang was tall, very burly, with a square face and long beard, in stark contrast to the thin Deng Tingzhen, seeing that Deng Tingzhen was so easy-going to Yi Zhizhen. He secretly thought that the rumors were true, and it seemed that Deng Tingzhen really favored this Yuanqi shopkeeper.

After sitting down contentedly, Deng Tingzhen spoke: "Today's Di Bao, contentment thinks I've read it." ”

"Back to my lord." Yi Zhisuff bowed and said: "I went to Yuanqi Yixue to inspect the next morning, and just returned to Yuanqi's general number, I heard that the adults were calling." I hurried here, but I haven't seen today's newspaper. ”

"Huang Juezi has a share of the excerpt - "Please Strictly Prohibit Leakage to Cultivate the Country's Ability". Deng Tingzhen said, picked up the newspaper on the coffee table and handed it over, and said, "Be content to take a look first." ”

For the fold of "Please Strictly Prohibit Leakage to Cultivate the Country's Ability", Yi Zhizhi heard it once before, and it was very fast to read it, so he read it and summarized it, "Please Strictly Prohibit Leakage to Cultivate the Country's Ability" sprinkled with thousands of words, in fact, it can be summed up in four points. First, the real reason for the rise in the price of silver is because of the outflow of silver, and in the past decade or so, the amount of silver outflow has been staggering.

Second, the four methods of prohibiting smoking, namely, strictly inspecting the routes in and out of Haikou, prohibiting trade, investigating and selling tobacco shops, and cultivating opium poppies, prohibiting tobacco boiling in the hinterland, and resisting foreign opium cannot curb the influx of opium.

Third, the ultimate cause of the opium flood and silver outflow was attributed to the addicts, and it was suggested that the opium addicts should be severely punished by severe punishment. For a period of one year, those who have not quit smoking. The death penalty is imposed.

Fourth, it is proposed to promote smoking cessation prescriptions and protect the nails to assist in the implementation of the policy of recuring drug use.

After reading the induction, Yi Zhishu did not rush to speak, drugs are difficult to prohibit, he is very clear, crow. Two hundred years of poisoning China. It can really ban crows. The film is the decades after the founding of the People's Republic of China, after the opening up to the outside world, drugs made a comeback and began to spread, although they have been sparing no effort to ban drugs. But the results were not great.

In the current situation of the Qing Dynasty, it is necessary to completely ban crows. Tablets against smoking crows. The death penalty for filmmakers may be the most effective method, and it can also have an immediate effect, but it is a little too cool.

After a little thought, he spoke, "Crow. The piece has been poisoned for decades, and now it is flowing into crows every year. Millions of pounds of tablets, millions of smokers, to ban opium, is not an overnight thing, rush to achieve it, I am afraid that it will backfire. ”

Yiliang glanced at him and said, "Contentment opposes the death penalty to severely punish crow smoking. Filmmaker? ”

"Against." Yi Zhishu said without hesitation: "Sucking crows. The filmmaker is sentenced to death and sells crow. What punishment should be given to the filmmaker? In addition, it is difficult to quit smoking addiction, which is a well-known thing, smoking crows. The filmmakers are all people with a certain amount of assets, so they don't worry about local turmoil if they are tortured so strictly? ”

Yiliang is a strong advocate of strictly forbidding crows. Listening to this, I couldn't help but be slightly stunned, this is really something that has to be considered, opium smokers are rich people, and it is really necessary to severely punish the smokers, and it is not impossible for local officials and officials to take this opportunity to extort and exploit on a large scale, stimulate popular uprisings, and cause local turmoil.

Deng Tingzhen stroked his long beard and said, "Do you know enough how to stop smoking?" ”

"The law does not hold the people accountable." Yi Zhishu said slowly: "The harm of opium is very serious, and I am also in favor of using strict torture to strictly prohibit it, but the target of strict torture should be those who sell opium and open tobacco shops, not smokers.

Furthermore, it is to plug the source of the stream, and it is strictly forbidden to crows. Pieces of inflow and crows are strictly prohibited. Pieces are planted, no crows. tablets, smoking naturally and naturally quit smoking. ”

Deng Tingzhen nodded slightly: "Contentment banned crows last year. Piece, to alleviate the outflow of silver, I made three suggestions to the headquarters, can you still remember? ”

"Naturally, I remember." Yi Zhishu said loudly: "Crows are strictly forbidden. pieces of smuggling, planting crows in vassal states. to promote a virtuous cycle of foreign trade. ”

Growing crows in vassal countries. Slice? Yiliang was very curious when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Can you tell me more about contentment?" ”

Yi Zhishu has already reacted at this time, Deng Tingzhen summoned him today, not to listen to his views on "Please Strictly Prohibit Leakage to Cultivate the Country", but to take this opportunity to ask him to tell Yiliang last year's three suggestions, the matter is obvious, Yiliang is full of people, all the way up, obviously quite valued by Daoguang, Deng Tingzhen This is to borrow his mouth, Yi Zhi's three suggestions to the court.

Thinking about this, Yi Zhizhi immediately explained the content of the three suggestions in detail, planting crows in the vassal country. This piece has never been proposed in the Qing Dynasty, and it is the first initiative of Yi Zhicontent, which can not only fight crows. smuggling, alleviating the outflow of silver, and can also earn tens of millions of taels of silver for the imperial court every year.

Yiliang's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he wondered a little, why did Deng Tingzhen not write to the imperial court with such a great suggestion from the imperial court?

He was very shrewd, and when he thought about it, he understood. In the sixteenth year of Daoguang, he wrote an excerpt entitled "Please Approve the Relaxation of Opium Prohibition and Draft Statutes to Submit the Confession" in favor of relaxation of opium. Later, when he saw that the wind was not in the right direction, his attitude changed sharply, and he changed from relaxed prohibition to strict prohibition.

And in the vassal kingdom to grow crows. film, if it is a disguised relaxation of confinement, Deng Tingzhen is afraid that he will end up with a capricious reputation, so he didn't dare to go to the book, thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh secretly, in this way, he picked up a big bargain.
