"Stop those who come. The front is where His Majesty is traveling. There are no orders to rush in. We can kill them first and then tell them."
The emperor's traveling team was not far from Tongzhou.
In less than an hour, the imperial guard and two Ming soldiers were stopped by the soldiers.
"This is the token." The guard took out a gold medal and said.
"With this token, one person can enter. The other two people please rest aside for a while."
In less than a moment of burning incense, pigeons flew away from the team one after another.
Then the imperial guards just came out with a father-in-law and some guards.
An hour and a half later, a letter from the emperor appeared everywhere in Tongzhou.
"The imperial list not only explains the harm to the body of cutting off one's descendants, but also shows His Majesty's decision.
The seized Duanzijuesuncao will be recycled and destroyed at a price of 10 copper coins per catty.
From today on, anyone who grows or sells the herb that will destroy their descendants without the permission of the court will be severely punished.
People in the Ming Dynasty who had smoked tobacco before, regardless of their status, had to go to the Yamen to quit smoking.
After the order was issued, anyone who dared to grow and sell tobacco outside the court for research would have all their property confiscated, and the whole family, except for the elderly over 60 years old and children under the age of 16, would be forced to work for three years.
Covering the same crime!
In addition to a monetary reward of one-tenth of the fine of the person being reported, the whistleblower will also be awarded a patriotic medal. "
In terms of production, sales, and absorption, Zhu Youjian has played a heavy role.
The soldiers also mobilized the people to participate in it by providing rewards.
With such a strict smoking ban, Zhu Youjian did not believe that tobacco could become the number one killer of mankind.
In addition to the smoking ban, Zhu Youjian also ordered the Jinyiwei to strictly inspect the Ming Dynasty (Fulu Cream), and at the same time asked the customs to send a message to the Western barbarians. If they dare to sell tobacco and opium in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Navy will definitely will flatten their country.
Not only that, the printing houses of famous newspapers in various places received the order and began to follow Zhu Youjian's prompts to talk about the dangers of tobacco and Fulu ointment.
In order to make people believe it more, many editors also collected some false stories.
However, these editors focused on one point, that is, these harmful things passed through the hands of Western barbarians.
Some editors even reported on the crimes committed by Western barbarians against the Han people outside the Ming Dynasty.
For a time, tobacco (opium) became the tool of Western barbarians intent on destroying the Ming Dynasty.
Patriots from all over the country have reported on those secret opium dens.
On the first day of Ming's ban, great achievements were made.
"The Western barbarians are so shameless. They cannot defeat us, but they actually come up with this method to poison us."
Since the dangers of smoking were widely reported, the secret guards hidden among the people began to divert hatred.
After all, interests are very attractive. If you want to ban smoking, the biggest difficulty is not the determination of the court, but those with vested interests.
Chinese people, from 80-year-old men to 3-year-old children, are aware of the dangers of drugs in future generations.
But why can’t drugs be completely eliminated?
The bottom line is that those with vested interests are unwilling to see their own interests damaged.
If Ming Dynasty wants to ban smoking, it must let these vested interests know that selling gadgets is seeking death.
If they dare to take action again, they are collaborating with the enemy, and they are traitors and traitors.
No matter how we deal with it then, it will not cause dissatisfaction among the people.
