Historically, an important reason why Emperor Chongzhen failed to ban smoking was that the emperor had extremely poor control over local areas. ;
The majesty of the law has long been undermined by power and money.
Although on the surface it is true that the whole world is not the king's territory, in fact, if the emperor's decrees do not affect local interests, then they are good decrees.
If it touches local interests, it is just a piece of waste paper.
But it's different now.
Zhu Youjian directly labeled the other party as "cutting off children and destroying grandchildren", and at the same time listed many dangers of smoking.
Han people pay most attention to filial piety.
Since ancient times, there have been many emperors who governed their country with filial piety.
There are three types of unfilial piety, the greatest of which is not having offspring.
He has the reputation of severing his descendants, plus the strict orders from the court, and a series of incentives.
Zhu Youjian believes that the three famous people will be able to achieve the achievement of banning smoking.
"I will obey your orders," said the dock official present.
Although Tongzhou is very prosperous because of the canal and the Beijing-Tongren Railway, it is just a transit station for the acacias and their descendants.
The real big consumer is in the capital.
The reason why Zhu Youjian has not seen it for so many years is that on the one hand, the imperial court has carried out a coup, and most of the land has returned to the hands of ordinary people.
People were often sent to the countryside to check crops. Although there was no explicit requirement to grow necessary grain in various places, Zhu Youjian mentioned grain many times and even built granaries in various parts of the north to store grain. This resulted in the local government having to Pay attention to food, and any family that does not grow food will be treated specially. He would even be invited over for tea by the county magistrate.
Therefore, there are far fewer people growing tobacco in various parts of the Ming Dynasty than in history.
In addition, after the Ming Dynasty regained Taiwan and destroyed the main force of the Red Yi in the Far East, the pirate stars around the Ming Dynasty also specifically picked the Red Yi to attack.
Over time, those barbarians did not dare to go near the Ming Dynasty coast.
Even if you want to go to Ming Dynasty, you have to go to Taiwan first and spend money to buy safety.
Foreign trade became dominated by the Ming Dynasty and supplemented by the barbarians.
The profits of tobacco are not high, and they are not short of money, so they do not focus on tobacco.
Without enough tobacco, there will not be enough market to support it, and without enough market, there will not be enough motivation to transport more tobacco.
This resulted in the smoking situation in Daming being much better than in history.
On the other hand, it also reduces the difficulty of quitting smoking.
With Zhu Youjian's order, the whole of Tongzhou soon started to move.
Soldiers blocked the city gates, and all people entering and leaving the city must be inspected. Once anyone is found to have cut off their children and grandchildren, they will all be confiscated and a note will be left. After the emperor's order comes out, compensation will be given according to the actual situation.
The yamen officials went door-to-door to publicize the dangers of cutting off children and grandchildren, and provided appropriate rewards for reporting. Boxes of cigarettes were soon confiscated.
During this period, there was someone who, after hearing about the dangers of severing children and grandchildren, did not want to hand it over, and was soon reported by his family members for extermination of relatives.
After all, everyone can ignore the other disadvantages of smoking, but the harm to children is absolutely intolerable.
Children are not only the future of the country, but also the future of the family.
Except for some mentally ill parents, no one will tolerate others poisoning their children.
Especially those of grandparents’ generation,
Anyone who dares to poison their children will fight them to the death. Even this is their biological son.
