The Republic of China: Twins with a beautiful start, navigating a troubled world

As Zhao He's voice fell, the disciples of the Tiandao Gang immediately brought up boxes of crows. A total of 32,000 kilograms of crows were seized from Fang's house, Tianhong Casino, and Xiaoyanglou. The quantity was huge. If all of this were sold, I don’t know how many people would be killed and how many people would become addicted to cigarettes.

"I'll go! There are so many crows. Fang Wenying and Xia Biao are so damn useless. Letting them die like this is too cheap for the two of them."

"If so many crows are sold, I don't know how many people will be killed, how many families will be broken up, and their wives will be separated."

"Burn it, burn it all in one fire."

"Burn your uncle! This is crow's nest. Do you think it's firewood? If so many crow's nests are burned, I'm afraid all of us will become addicted to smoking."

Seeing boxes of crows being carried up, the common people were shocked, filled with indignation and anger.

Don't talk about him. When they saw so many crows, Zhao He, Zhang Shitian, Zhou Qilong and others also cursed angrily, wishing to cut Fang Wenying and Xia Biao into pieces immediately.

After a while, all the crows were carried up.

Zhao He raised his hand slightly, and the scene immediately became quiet.

"Dear fellow villagers, let me share with you some common knowledge here. Crows cannot be burned directly. If so many crows are burned, the smoke will quickly fill the entire Panlong County. By then, it will be equivalent to all of us inhaling. If you smoke crow once, you will become addicted to cigarettes. Isn't this worth the loss?" Zhao He said loudly.

"Yes, you're right. Crows cannot be burned directly. The consequences will be very serious."

"Since we can't burn it, what should we do?"

"I know a local method. In the past, the ancients used the 'smoke soil mixed with tung oil burning method'. This method can destroy crows."

"Yes, I have also seen this method in books."

The common people started talking again. It was obvious that they were not stupid. They immediately realized the dangers of direct burning, so everyone immediately thought of the "smoking soil mixed with tung oil burning method". In this era, this is a traditional method of burning cigarettes. Law.

Faced with the discussion of the common people, Zhao He shook his head and said: "Everyone, I have already discussed the 'smoke and soil mixed with tung oil burning method' you mentioned with the Governor and the County Chief. Although this method is also It can be effective, but it also has significant shortcomings. First of all, when burning the tobacco, it cannot burn 100% of the tobacco. A part (about 15%) of the tobacco juice will penetrate into the soil and cannot be burned. Afterwards, some addictions will occur. A gentleman will shovel dirt home, burn it and smoke it, which will cause endless troubles. Secondly, when burning soot, it will also produce a large amount of gas. If it is accidentally smoked, it will also cause harm..."

After Zhao He briefly explained the dangers of the "smoke and soil mixed with tung oil incineration method", he paused and said: "So after comprehensive consideration, we do not use the 'smoke and soil mixed with tung oil incineration method', but the 'seawater immersion method'."

"Seawater immersion method? What method is this? Why have you never heard of it?"

"That's because your knowledge is shallow. This was the method used in Lin Zexu's campaign to eliminate opium in Humen."

"Oh, that's it. I always thought Humen was out of smoke, so it was set on fire."

"I usually tell you to study more, but you don't listen. Day by day you just start gambling."

The common people started talking a lot. People in this era can't even provide food and clothing. They basically haven't read any books and can't recognize all the words. Therefore, few people know about Lin Zexu's "seawater immersion method". Even if they have heard of it, they have never heard of it. I thought it was a fire and didn't know the mystery.

The reason why Zhao He said so much was actually intentional. He used this opportunity to popularize the dangers of opium and how to destroy it to the common people.

Once upon a time, a large amount of tobacco was found in a village. When the village chief learned about it, he was very angry and immediately burned the collected tobacco collectively. As a result, the whole village got high and became addicted to tobacco.

In order to prevent such stupid things, Zhao He started to sell cigarettes while explaining.

"Yes, the 'seawater immersion method' was used in Lin Zexu's Humen Smoking Campaign. Look over there. Those two pools were dug out last night. The bottom of the pool was covered with stones. To prevent opium leakage, nail boards were placed all around, and a ditch was dug next to it. Pour the salt water into the ditch and flow into the pool. Then cut the tobacco soil into four pieces, pour in the salt water, soak for half a day, and then add lime , the lime boils when it meets water, and the soot dissolves. This is the 'seawater leaching method'!"

Zhao He introduced and gave orders to the soldiers. They immediately introduced the salt water into the pool. Some soldiers also immediately opened the boxes of crows, cut the smoke into four pieces, and poured it into the pool. Among them, start soaking.

Next, the cigarette selling activity was carried out vigorously. Because the quantity was huge and it needed to be soaked for half a day, a lot of time was wasted.

However, no one present left. They all stared directly at the sea water pool, wanting to see the crow being destroyed bit by bit.

"Lord Governor, Lord County Chief, please get into the boat and rest for a while. When the crow is soaked, I will call you again." An adjutant looked at Zhang Shitian and Zhou Qilong and said.

"No, the common people haven't left, and we can't leave either." Zhang Shitian immediately refused,

Hearing this, Zhao He turned to look at Zhang Shitian, admiring him even more.

In this era of internal and external troubles and warlords fighting, there are not many people like Zhang Shitian who are dedicated to the people.

Then, as time passed little by little, all the crow soil was poured into the sea pool. After soaking for half a day, Zhao He checked the time and made sure it was almost time. Then he took the big speaker and continued:

"Okay, let's move on to the last step. Add the lime and stir immediately. Make sure the smoke is completely integrated into the water."

"Yes!"

The soldiers responded in unison, and hurriedly poured all the lime they had prepared into the sea pool. The lime immediately boiled when it met the water, generating a lot of heat, and this heat quickly melted the smoke. .

Gulu gulu!

The water in the pool was boiling. The soldiers took wooden rakes and kept stirring in the pool. The smoke was dissolved into the water little by little.

"Quick, look, the smoke is melting."

"Hahaha, great, these harmful things have finally been destroyed."

"Well done to Zhao He! Well done to the Governor! Well done to the County Chief!"

clap clap clap!

Seeing this scene, the common people were extremely excited and clapped their hands, feeling very happy that these crows were destroyed.

In the end, all it takes is to send the pond water out to the ocean when the tide goes out, and wash the bottom of the pond with clean water, leaving no trace behind, and everything is done.

"Fellow folks, the above is the 'seawater immersion method'. If you encounter crows in the future, do not burn them directly. You should only use this 'seawater immersion method'. Of course, if you find it, you should report it as soon as possible." If you turn it over, the governor and the county magistrate will definitely get a big reward." Zhao He looked at the common people and shouted loudly.

"Okay, we get it."

"If I find such a harmful thing, I will definitely be the first to turn it over."

"Me too, and I will definitely report it to the official as soon as possible."

The common people agreed with Zhao He's words.

As all the smoke and soil melted into the water, this time's "cigarette smoking activity" was completely over. It was already noon, and the people left one after another, going back to their homes to continue their day's work and life.

However, the incident of "Zhaohe Tianmen Smoking Opium" spread rapidly. Not only the nearby counties and cities, but also the surrounding provinces and cities heard about it.

The name Zhao He immediately became a household name, with constant praise and praise, and his reputation will last forever.
