In the capital, all 100,000 Xuanjia troops were mobilized.
Lin Fan wore armor, mounted a war horse, and was ready to leave the city!
Emperor Chongzhen came with hundreds of officials. Seeing Lin Fan really marshaling 100,000 troops, Emperor Chongzhen's expression changed.
Just now, hundreds of officials entered the palace and told him that the prince had suddenly organized a hundred thousand Xuanjia troops to leave the city. They all said that the prince was going to mutiny, which shocked Emperor Chongzhen.
He was not worried that Lin Fan would rebel, but he was worried that Lin Fan would start a war with the Zhou Dynasty again. This matter was too big and would consume too much of the national power of the Ming Dynasty.
"Fan'er! What are you going to do?
This is a hundred thousand Xuanjia army, is there another war about to happen?"
Emperor Chongzhen asked.
Lin Fan dismounted and said in a deep voice: "Father, it is not that there is a war. I am taking these people to Kaifeng Mansion. This matter is urgent. Even these 100,000 people may not be able to suppress it!"
What! Kaifeng Prefecture is not far from the capital, and it is also sandwiched between Nanjing. Could it be that there are a large number of rebels in Kaifeng Prefecture, and it takes 100,000 people to subdue them?
"Fan'er, but there are a large number of rebels in Kaifeng Mansion?"
Emperor Chongzhen asked.
Lin Fan looked helpless. It would be difficult to explain this matter to Emperor Chongzhen.
A few days ago, someone entered the capital to complain. After questioning, Lin Fan suspected that the flowers might be smoke, and then sent someone to Kaifeng Mansion to have a look.
Those people brought back a flower and found that it was indeed a big smoke. Moreover, according to reports from spies, many opium dens were found in various cities in the Ming Dynasty.
Shouldn’t this thing appear more than a hundred years later?
Why is it there now?
Lin Fan was shocked at first. At the same time, he sent people to Kaifeng Mansion to conduct a secret investigation and discovered something that shocked him even more. All the people in Kaifeng Mansion were actually involved in this matter!
Moreover, Kaifeng Prefecture has been planting this kind of food for more than a year or two, and the land must have been damaged. If they are not allowed to plant it at this time, not to mention that the people are unwilling, switching to growing food is also a problem.
I hadn't paid attention to such a big thing before, so it seemed that a supervisory board must be established!
"Reporting to my father, there are not a large number of rebels in Kaifeng Mansion, but someone has planted harmful things in Kaifeng Mansion. If this thing is not removed, it will be extremely harmful to our Ming Dynasty!"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
"Harmful thing?"
Emperor Chongzhen looked puzzled.
At this time, an official came forward and said with a smile: "Haha! Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may have misunderstood. All the flowers planted in Kaifeng Mansion are one kind of flower!"
"This kind of flower has extremely high economic value. Some people buy it at a high price, which is more than ten times that of wheat. In recent years, the price has been rising!"
"The people of Kaifeng Prefecture are living a very prosperous life because of planting this kind of flowers. The surrounding cities also want to follow suit. I think this is a good move!"
After the official said that, several people laughed and said: "Haha! Your Highness, those flowers are definitely not harmful to people, and they can also increase people's energy and energy!"
"Not only does it double your energy and energy, but you can still become stronger even if you don't eat. This thing is really miraculous. I suggest that it be planted on a large scale in the Ming Dynasty!"
"Your Majesty, if this thing can be fully promoted, our Ming Dynasty will be prosperous for thousands of generations, and there will no longer be poor people."
After hearing what these officials said, Emperor Chongzhen looked much better. He looked at Lin Fan and said, "Fan'er, is the information you got wrong?"
Lin Fan looked at the officials who just spoke and said coldly: "Haha! This thing can become a dragon and a tiger without eating?
Then you should give it a try and see if that’s the case!”
"No matter how high the economic value of this thing is, even if it can be sold for one million taels of silver, what's the use?
Don’t the people still need to eat and eat grain?”
"If everyone grows this plant and no one grows food, no matter how much money you have, you can't buy food. Do you want all the people in the Ming Dynasty to starve to death?"
"Your Highness, what you said is a bit too much. Your Majesty can issue an imperial edict and only allow some people to plant this kind of flower. Isn't that enough?"
"That's right! Most people still grow food. In this way, the income of our people in the Ming Dynasty increased and they also had enough food to eat!"
…
All those people just said.
Lin Fan finally realized that these people had definitely taken advantage of the people of Wo country. Otherwise, they would not have spoken like this and strongly supported the cultivation of opium.
"Come here! Capture these people and behead them in public!"
Lin Fan said coldly.
"Your Highness, no!"
When the officials heard this, they all gave advice.
Emperor Chongzhen also hurriedly said: "Fan'er! My father is still here, how can you kill officials in public?"
"Father, these people are causing harm to the country and the people. They are so harmful to people, but they actually help them speak in public. I think they must have taken advantage of the people in the country!"
"If you keep it, it will only harm the court. Kill it now to avoid future troubles!"
After saying that, Lin Fan waved his hand, and the soldiers rushed forward and killed those few people.
puff!
Several heads rolled down and blood spattered. All the officials were frightened and stood there blankly, unable to believe their eyes.
"Your Highness, you! You kill people like this, it's hard to convince the public!"
All the officials said one after another.
"What do you know?
That thing is called smoke, and it is a harmful thing. It seems to make you energetic, but in fact it paralyzes your nerves!"
"Moreover, this substance is addictive. Once you take it once, you must continue to take it. Otherwise, it will be like a thousand insects gnawing through your heart and the pain will be unbearable!"
"Sucking this substance will make people not want to eat. People who don't want to eat are soft-footed shrimps. Do we want all the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty to become soft-footed shrimps?"
"Are you all fools?
Haven't you discovered that the land where this thing has been planted can hardly grow food?
This substance is extremely poisonous to food, and no grass will grow wherever it takes root!"
"Moreover, this thing was brought by people from the country of Wo. They have evil intentions, and they want to invade our Ming Dynasty and use this thing to weaken the national power of our Ming Dynasty!"
"Once our Ming Dynasty cultivates large areas, all they have to do is stop purchasing and selling us grain, and our people will starve to death by hundreds of thousands! Millions!"
"Can't you see such an obvious vicious method?
I think you were deceived by the benefits given to you by the people of Wo country!"
Lin Fan said coldly.
"this!"
"This substance has the disadvantages mentioned by His Highness the Crown Prince. One of my servants was like this. After taking it, he didn't think about food and drinks every day and just wanted to continue taking it!"
"Originally, his life was very prosperous, but because of this thing, his family was ruined, and I had to kick him out!"
"Alas! I have told you all before, but unfortunately, all of you didn't listen, thinking that this thing can make a lot of money!"
At this time, an official beat his chest and stamped his feet.
