Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Dali Temple, the Supreme Court of the country.

    Because the emperor attached great importance to the case, Dali Temple Minister Tang Yi tried it in person and announced the verdict: "Since the defendant did not know that the drug was poisonous, and there was no relevant law in this dynasty, the corresponding punishment was exempted. Judgments were made on the merchants Zhou Zhi, Chen Bangding,  Jin Xuekong and Li Guangxun were acquitted and released. All the defendants were sentenced, and all the drugs were immediately handed over to Dali Temple for centralized destruction. After the promulgation of the "Decree Prohibiting Planting, Prohibiting the Sale and Fasting of Drugs", if the defendants commit another crime,  This crime will be counted together!"

    Li Guangxun's whole body went limp, and he sat down on the spot. He thought he was going to die.

    Several merchants left Dali Temple together, Zhou Zhi said: "I dare not stay here in the south, I want to apply to immigrate to Shandong with my whole family."

    "Yes, yes, the south must not stay." Li Guangxun was terrified.

    Although Dali Temple acquitted them, the terrible aftereffects of the addicts after they were imprisoned have already spread throughout Nanjing.

    And those more than a thousand smokers are either rich or expensive.

    Even, seven of them died due to drug rehab. I dare not ask the emperor to settle the account, but have to put it all on the merchants who sell drugs.

    A group of merchants returned home and ordered their families to prepare for relocation, and then went to the government to apply for relocation. They were willing to bear all the immigration expenses themselves.

    I'm afraid that if I walk too slowly, I will be made things difficult by the officials every day, and even be accused of committing crimes and die!

    Chen Bangding and Jin Xuekong were not reconciled, and they got together to discuss secretly.

    "Brother Chen," Jin Xuekong said, "neither you nor I can be called rich, and there is no other way to do business. So we went to the north, what can we do for a living?"

    Chen Bangding also thought so, but he was afraid of being punished: "What if you don't go to the north? Li Shilang's son, and Mr. Xi Ming himself, have suffered a lot from drugs this time, and they may be retaliated if they stay in Nanjing!"  "

    "Go overseas!" Jin Xuekong said.

    Chen Bangding asked: "Brother Jin has connections overseas?"

    Jin Xuekong said: "Although this drug is harmful, as long as it does not harm the people of the country. We sell the drug to Japan, North Korea, Annan, first to the local rich, and then to the local nobles. The more people who smoke  The more we get, the more we can get rich. If Your Majesty doesn¡¯t fast on drugs and arrest so many people to detoxify in prisons, we don¡¯t know that this thing is so hard to get rid of. Since it makes people want to stop, it¡¯s a big business, this is  A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

    Chen Bangding hesitated and said: "But the cultivation of poppies is banned everywhere. Where can I get so many drugs and sell them?"

    Jin Xuekong said with a smile: "My little brother still left some poppy seeds, which were not confiscated by the officials. Let's go to Annan first and find a piece of land to plant. After the business in Annan is booming, we will hire sea ships to go to Japan to do business!"

    Sea-going ships also have a leasing business, because sea transportation is very dangerous, some ship owners simply sit and collect rent.

    First pay a deposit, and you must have a collateral. If the ship is shipwrecked and overturned, the owner will not refund the deposit, and then ask the government to make a judgment to compensate the collateral.

    Chen Bangding said: "Annan has never been there."

    Jin Xuekong said: "I have a fellow countryman doing business in Annan. According to what he said, the southernmost territory of Annan Ruan Lord was expanded and occupied in the past few decades. The indigenous people there were driven and killed by Annan, and the population has not yet recovered.  Come here, there are still many unowned lands in the mountains. The Annan government also encourages Han people to cultivate, as long as they pay taxes honestly. Let¡¯s find some land from the Annan government and plant poppies as medicinal materials.¡±

    Chen Bangding hesitated.

    Jin Xuekong urged: "Would you like to, give me a word quickly. Let's go together, and we will take care of each other. If you don't go, then I will go by myself."

    "Man dies for money, and birds die for food. Done!" Chen Bangding gritted his teeth and went all out.

    These two vicious and smoking guys now know that the drug is poisonous, and they are going to harm people for money.

    Although it was not the Chinese who were harmed, Zhao Han will punish him severely if he finds out.  Because once drugs are rampant in neighboring countries, they will come back sooner or later, as you can see in the United States of later generations.

    The two first moved their family to Qiongzhou, and after they settled down, they went to the southernmost part of Vietnam together.

    The place they chose is located at the junction of the three countries of Annan, Champa, and Nanpan. It can be understood as a three-way zone, and at the same time it is actually controlled by the Vietnamese Nguyen regime.

    Everything was settled, Jin Xuekong stayed in the local area to clear up the relationship, and Chen Bangding went to Yunnan to buy drugs.

    They couldn't even wait to grow their own. After buying the spot, they offered the drug to the magistrate, saying that it was a medicine for relieving fatigue and curing diseases.  After the other party became addicted, he said that this is a Chinese elegant thing, and scholars like to drink it.

    &nbnbsp;"Changfu," Chen Dongshan came over with his job bowl, and said mysteriously, "Have you heard that the Ming Dynasty is gone, and the emperor has changed from his hometown!"

    Lin Changfu smiled and said, "I heard that the new emperor's surname is Zhao."

    Chen Dongshan added: "I also heard people say that this is a good emperor. In our hometown, the farmers can divide the fields. There is not enough food in the fields, and they can go fishing at will. The new court can't stop fishing boats."

    "Redistribute the land? Why is there such a good thing? Don't listen to people talking nonsense." Lin Changfu shook his head again and again.

    Chen Dongshan said: "If you can't divide the land, you can change the emperor. I have saved more than forty taels of silver, and I can buy a few acres of land when I go back to my hometown, and I can also repair the ancestor's grave.  Go back, maybe you can catch up with the Chinese New Year."

    "Where are the wives and children?" Lin Changfu asked.

    Chen Dongshan said: "I will definitely take it back, so why not stay here?"

    While the two Chinese boatmen were chatting, the Eastern Affairs Council of the East India Company was having a heated discussion.

    Discuss two topics:

    First, whether to fully withdraw from the South China Sea, because it is more profitable to wait for the Chinese businessmen to ship the goods to Batavia than to go to China for the Netherlands.

    Second, whether to allow the Chinese in Batavia to build schools?
