Live broadcast: Ancient people accompany me to make up lessons

Lucky viewer No. 5, He Chang, is also from Li Zhichao. He frowned all night about the events of the late Qing Dynasty.

"What on earth was the Qing court doing in later generations? Why did the Qing Dynasty know everything and yet allowed opium to poison the people for so many years and ignored it?"

In addition to studying martial arts, he has also been interested in learning some medical skills since he was a child. He knows the limits of the human body, so he feels even more terrible about the harm of that thing.

In the beginning, it was understandable that it was used for medicinal purposes. However, smoking was banned during the Yongzheng period when the dangers were recognized, and it was not until Daoguang that he made up his mind to ban smoking. There were still so many years in between.

He couldn't understand how the Qing and Manchu dynasties could turn a blind eye to the dangers of this thing?

Even if they are high up and cannot see the misery of the little people below, then the ministers and nobles are also addicted to smoking. Don't they still feel dangerous?

Why on earth could you ignore it for so many years?

[“Foreign businessmen smuggled in, but they themselves had many restrictions due to their identities, so they often brought them over and found people from the Qing Dynasty to act as agents to sell them.

The proliferation of opium made foreign businessmen make a lot of money, and also allowed local agents to obtain huge profits and kickbacks.

But they cannot monopolize these, they have to bribe the feudal officials and courtiers according to their rank, and these officials need to pay part of them to the top one to ensure their own future. "

Xiaoxiao felt that they should know these things better than herself.

She didn't know what the businessmen, officials, and emperors of these parallel time and space dynasties would think when they heard it, but she really thought it was magical enough.

“The emperor who formulated the anti-smoking policy also became the biggest beneficiary of cigarette smuggling. The consistent corruption from top to bottom contributed to the proliferation of opium, making the anti-smoking law an empty piece of paper and laying the foundation for the subsequent Opium War.

By the Daoguang period, opium had spread all over the country. Officials, servants, servants, businessmen, soldiers and civilians were all taking it, and even women, monks and nuns, and Taoist priests were taking it. Country Z became a veritable big drug-taking country.

Imported opium led to a large outflow of silver, and the Qing Dynasty suffered a financial crisis, which greatly increased the burden on ordinary people. This led to Lin Zexu's opium ban in Humen that we just mentioned. "

He could only sigh helplessly, and Xiaoxiao continued to call the lucky audience member No. 6. 】

In those photos, it is true that everyone smokes cigarettes. Five or six out of ten people are smoking. One can imagine the amount of money they have to pay, which is an astronomical sum.

In this regard, business people and officials indeed know better than the anchors. Even if the anchors don't get any data, they who are familiar with the process will know the fidelity as soon as they hear it.

Businessmen who have done business all smile bitterly. They are indeed accustomed to all kinds of management when doing business. Even if they set up a small stall on the street, they still need to have a good relationship with the nearby servants and bullies who have nothing to do.

As early as when the anchor talked about local agents, they had a premonition based on their experience that they would still have to pay money to the top. Unexpectedly, the money was actually handed over layer by layer, and even handed over to the emperor.

The emperor used the ban while taking money from smuggling. It is strange that the ban was not in effect.

Not only the anchor found it ironic, but they also heard it.

At first, he thought that this descendant was still allowed to smoke and did some serious things. Kangxi took a deep breath and told himself that being angry was not good for his health, but he still couldn't help gritting his teeth and looking around among the pile of sons. Which one is the elder of Daoguang and Qianlong?

The sons bowed their heads obediently: Today, they don’t want to be chosen as the heir by the old man.

Only the second child who came out of Xian'an Palace didn't hide and looked at his father with open eyes. Kangxi looked away first.

The second child was sure that he would not be emperor in the future, so he was so confident. However, Kangxi, who once wanted him to succeed him the most, felt guilty when he saw him like this.

Gu Weiqiong of the Wu Zhou Dynasty always remembered that Lin Zexu lost the Opium War after the war.

She was worried and asked carefully: "After losing the Opium War, what happened to the Qing government? Did they still ban smoking?"

[“After the two Opium Wars, the smoking ban existed in name only.”

Although there was Lin Zexu who vigorously and resolutely eliminated opium in Humen, it is a pity that the declining Qing court will only lower people's expectations again and again.

“After the two Opium Wars, the Qing government’s views on opium changed dramatically.

Since we couldn't ban it, and we would be beaten by foreigners if we banned it, we simply resigned ourselves to it and decided not to ban smoking, but just let them buy it openly and collect taxes on cigarettes ourselves.

Even Lin Zexu, a staunch anti-smoking fan, proposed planting opium poppy to fill the financial gap and resist foreign opium. ”]

"How could they do it just for this little profit!"

Unable to help but slap the table, Sun Simiao, who has been practicing Taoism for many years, showed a rare expression of anger.

He was not only a doctor who could only cure diseases and save people, but he was also called by Yang Jian to be a doctor of the Imperial College, but he just didn't want to go.

The national finance is important, but how can we use underhanded methods to plunder the money of our own people?

He remembered the previous popular science very clearly. The most terrible thing about smoking is not only the harm it causes to the body, but also the addiction that cannot be stopped.

If you smoke once and you can't quit, you will only want to immerse yourself in the pleasure stimulated by drugs more and more, until you lose everything, you have no money to smoke, or you die of illness.

The people who smoke opium are the people of their own country. What is the difference between the taxes collected and the life money of the people?

The anchor switched between opium and tobacco, and also said that it was poison.

It was indeed poison, more poisonous than anything he knew.

Sun Simiao finally understood that this concept of halalism started from the ancestors, and they were not just Han people. They did not really regard the people below as their subjects.

The anchor hasn't called the number yet, which means it's not over yet. Give yourself a drink of cold water, he would like to hear what else the Qing Dynasty can do!

[Xiao Xiao will let everyone know that there are really many things that Da Qing can do.

“So the Qing government began to encourage farmers in various provinces to grow poppies and make opium.

By the 19s, poppies could be seen blooming almost anywhere in the Qing Dynasty. Through improved varieties and improved production techniques, home-made tobacco developed from "low-priced and poor-quality" to "high-quality and low-priced". , the sales are better than those of foreign cigarettes.

By the end of the 19th century, the Qing Dynasty had developed from a pure consumer country of opium to a major drug country integrating production, sales, and smoking.

The number of smokers increased four to five times from about two million before the Opium War.

In the 1.5st year of Guangxu's reign, the total fiscal revenue was about million taels, and the total tax revenue from local and foreign medicines this year was taels.

By the time the Qing government realized that the tax revenue brought by opium was not enough to offset the harm it caused, it was already too late, making the people weaker and weaker, causing great physical and mental harm, and causing endless harm to society.

Even if they reached an agreement with the British government to ban smoking year by year, the fiscal revenue of the inland provinces was already heavily dependent on opium. The anti-smoking agreement was collectively opposed by officials, making it a situation that could not be lost.

The bad influence continued throughout the Republic of China. Warlords from all walks of life regarded opium as an important source of financial revenue. During the Republic of China, country Z became the world's largest opium producer and even exported opium.

Until the founding of New Z State. ”]

Li Shimin couldn't help but cursed: "Is this Qing Dynasty crazy?"

Farmers all over the country are allowed to grow this stuff, which has become the financial backbone of various places. So what is the ratio of poppy and opium extraction, and how much land is used?

There is money to grow this, and the court encourages it. All the good land is used to grow this, so who will grow the food? People everywhere are addicted to opium and are addicted to an illusory world. How will the country run?

All the people grow opium, sell opium and smoke opium, and the government collects taxes and does nothing else?

Now if we look at the photos of people who smoke heavy cigarettes, they may not necessarily be addicted to depravity themselves, but may even be dragged into the quagmire by the rulers of this country.

They want to collect opium taxes, and they don't care whether the people below are addicted to drugs.

If the national finances are rich, it is certainly easier to handle many things, but what is the purpose of drawing this money and what are the consequences?

Judging by the behavior of the Qing emperor and the corruption among officials, Li Shimin didn't think they could use the money to accomplish big things.

During the Opium War, the soldiers who smoked opium were already in a daze and were weak. Instead of learning their lesson, they allowed this poison to continue to expand its influence.

absurd! Unprecedentedly absurd!

Zhu Yuanzhang looked down coldly and was full of hostility towards the next dynasty that replaced the Ming Dynasty.

As an emperor who came from ordinary people, he also cares most about the people at the bottom.

The harm of this thing was far more terrifying than anything he had ever known before. Not only did the Qing Dynasty not strictly guard against it when they closed the country, they also directly removed this nominal chain when they opened the country later.

When he thought about how many people this thing would flow into and how many families would fall into the abyss, he became furious.

After hearing so much before, he was just disgusted and displeased with Qing, but after listening to the previous paragraph, he really wanted to ask the anchor where Qing made his fortune. Now he would get rid of this cancer for his descendants in advance.

Lucky viewer No. 7 Mu Yi is from the Song Dynasty. He still doesn't understand why Qianlong ignored those things brought by the British. How terrible could the French Revolution be?

[For the emperor, it was really scary.

Thinking like this, Xiao Novel said: "In a couple of nights, I will find all the information and tell you about it. The eighth lucky audience."]

Lucky viewer No. 8, Fang Yanran, is certainly worried about things in the late Qing Dynasty, but the most important thing to him right now is his father's illness. He has searched all the doctors he can find, but no one can do anything.

He posted the pulse record and his father's illness to the sky. He hoped that doctors in the past dynasties, if they knew anything about it, could tell them the treatment method through the sky.

[This is a small matter, Xiaoxiao helped him open a channel.

Judging from his detailed description of his illness and pulse history, it turns out that a doctor who knows something about it has actually come out.

After they finished chatting in the live broadcast room, Xiaoxiao called the ninth lucky viewer. 】

Seeing this boy, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di had no reaction. He no longer had any expectations for the descendants of the fourth child. The last person he had expectations for was Zhu Houcong, who turned out to be a Taoist priest who had not been in court for 20 years.

Zhu Houcong, who was disliked by his two direct ancestors, felt okay about himself. He didn't know when his cousin was at this moment, but he felt that his cousin would not waste the opportunity too much.

"We have a lot of Western knowledge introduced from the Ming Dynasty. Why do we still use the Ming's black powder formula in the Qing Dynasty?"

Seeing this barrage, Zhu Houcong was satisfied. He knew that his cousin didn't want the Qing court to feel better.

The question is just not harsh enough. We should ask whether the Qing Dynasty did nothing until the country was overthrown, and only guarded against the Han people.

【this problem……

Xiaoxiao: "Let me find information about Sikuquanshu for you."]

My family knows their own affairs.

The people of the Qing Dynasty who were completely unaware of the Sikuquanshu had a bad premonition when they saw the name. When they saw that this was a large series compiled during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, their uneasiness reached its peak.

What did this kid do when he was studying?

[In November of the 1772th year of Qianlong's reign (), Anhui academician Zhu Jun raised the issue of compilation of "Yongle Dadian", which was approved by Emperor Qianlong. He then issued an order to combine the compilation of lost books with "those collected by various provinces and collected by Wuying Palace". All official engravings" were compiled together under the name "Sikuquanshu".

The first step in the compilation of "Sikuquanshu" is to collect books.

The collection of letters began in the 37th year of Qianlong's reign and ended in the 43rd year of Qianlong's reign, lasting seven years.

In order to commend those who submitted books, the Qing government also formulated reward methods such as award books, inscriptions, and names: "Award Books" meant that those who submitted more than 500 kinds of books would be awarded a "Collection of Ancient and Modern Books"; those who submitted more than 100 kinds of books , gave him a copy of "Pei Wen Yun Mansion". Anyone who submitted more than a hundred types of books would choose a refined version and have Emperor Qianlong inscribe and chant it in a simplified version to show his favor.

With the strong assistance of the local government and the active response of bibliophiles, the book collection work is progressing smoothly, and a total of 100 books have been collected...]

Zhu Di didn't expect that this matter could have anything to do with him.

"Yongle Dadian" sounds like the book he knows how to edit at this time. He has indeed arranged for someone to edit the book. It should be called this book after it is completed.

But why did his "Yongle Dadian" need to be compiled and lost? Which parts of it were lost, and how did they come to be lost?

The host's computer can also search for paper pictures and text, as well as various annotations and red lines.

Seeing that he collected so many books, Kangxi had already foreseen what Qianlong would do, and he could also foresee that no matter how the court tried to win over people, those scholars would no longer trust the court.

[For the collected books, first check whether they have any ‘obstructive content’.

Regarding the so-called "obstruction" content, Qianlong was mainly concerned about the "history of creating wild affairs in the late Ming Dynasty" and "hypocritical poems and essays written by people in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties" that "slandered our dynasty". 'Jurchen and Qing court history books, poems and essays.

Sikuquan Library formulated a detailed standard for banned books in 1778: "Articles for Investigating and Handling Violating Books."

"Except for the absurd words and sarcastic words, they must be destroyed, and if there are any violations in the poetry collection of the early Ming Dynasty, the whole book should not be preserved."

After the "Articles on Investigating and Handling Violating Books", Qianlong promulgated some supplementary articles, extending the scope of the investigation to contemporary works, local chronicles, and even opera scripts and "books that talk about misfortunes and blessings". By the way, there was another wave of momentum. A vast literal inferno.

According to statistics from scholars, in the past 20 years of book banning activities, more than 3100 kinds of books, more than 15 volumes, and more than 1 book boards have been banned and destroyed.

There are also some banned and destroyed books that are not even listed in the directory. No one knows what kind of books they are and what they contain. ]
