Drugs are opium. Since the 1600s, the Dutch brought this substance and tobacco leaves into the territory of Ming Dynasty through trade.

This addictive thing quickly began to spread in Daming territory.

Because of the planting environment, Fushou cream cannot be planted on a large scale in China.

On the contrary, tobacco leaves are flooding the country.

But the rulers at that time regarded this kind of thing as a scourge, and issued a strict decree to prohibit it.

After Chongzhen ascended the throne, he made a decree to eradicate tobacco leaves and drugs from all over the country.

However, years of wars have caused the demand for this kind of thing to increase dramatically.

Smugglers along the south coast are keen on selling drugs.

However, due to the low production, the quantity is not very large.

After Sun Jie occupied Jiangnan, a lot of drugs were circulated in the market.

Although it has not yet formed a large scale, Sun Jie from modern times naturally knows the danger of this kind of thing.

As a result, drugs were banned everywhere, and severe crimes were imposed at the same time.

Cui Xinghe cupped his hands to Sun Jie, and replied with a smile on his face: "Follow His Majesty's will!"

Cui Xinghe is tall and has an outstanding appearance. No matter when, good looks always have a great advantage.

Although Sun Jie is not an association of looks, when he sees Cui Xinghe who is outstanding in appearance, he will inevitably feel happy.

That tall figure stood in front of Sun Jie, with a light of justice on his face, which made Sun Jie extremely happy.

"I'm most relieved to entrust this matter to you. Your ability is beyond doubt. There will be a bigger stage waiting for you in the future."

Sun Jie came down, patted Cui Xinghe on the shoulder, exhorting him with a smile on his face.

It looks like a monarch and his ministers are in harmony, but Sun Jie doesn't know that Cui Xinghe has already changed his mind. Although he looks happy on the surface, he is already dirty in his heart.

After saying some persuasive words, Cui Xinghe left here. He was not in a hurry to go back, but wandered around Jinling City.

He brought seven or eight followers, and these followers are now scattered all over the streets and alleys of Jinling City.

These entourages of his had followed him from Shaanxi before, they were loyal to him, and they were also acquaintances with some small officials in the imperial court.

With people like them around, Cui Xinghe can keep abreast of the current situation in Jinling.

He didn't have a place to live in Jinling City, so he could only live in an inn.

It's still early, and it's not interesting to stay there, it's better to walk around the street.

The sky was dark, he returned to the inn, and the followers he sent out also came back to report the current situation.

In just one day, he mastered all the news that is currently available in the Jinling market.

Of course he also knew the predicament that Sun Chuanting was facing now, all of this was caused by him alone.

When all his subordinates dispersed, he stood alone in front of the window, looking at Jinling City in the dark night.

His face gradually darkened.

People often change, and they will make corresponding arrangements or countermeasures according to the current situation.

At first, Cui Xinghe only thought of getting himself out, but now he has bigger plans.

Anyway, I have to go out sooner or later, and I have to go overseas sooner or later, so I might as well do all the things I haven't done before while I'm in China.

He hated Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng very much, and he felt that these two people blocked his footsteps.

He thought that the reason why Sun Jie sent him overseas must be obstructed by the two of them.

It is not surprising that he can think so, the human heart is selfish.

In his view, Sun Chuanting will definitely appoint those former Ming officials in order to maintain his own interests and expand his influence.

After all, fundamentally speaking, Sun Chuanting was in the same group as those former Ming officials.

What he has to do is to completely destroy Sun Chuanting.

If you can't get it, don't let anyone else get it either.

……

The next day just after dawn, Sun Chuanting woke up early.

He compiled all the materials he had investigated recently into a book, put them in a briefcase made of cowhide, and left.

His residence was not far from Sun Jie's residence, and he hurriedly came to Sun Jie's place with his briefcase in his arms.

After entering the study, he raised the things in his hands high, looked at Sun Jie, and said, "Your Majesty, the things here are the information and materials that I have sorted out in recent days.

According to the results of Chen's recent investigation, Wu Zhirong's death has a great relationship with the two missing persons from the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

As soon as Wu Zhirong died on the front foot, the two people on the back foot disappeared.The minister also sent someone to look for them, but there was still no news so far. The immediate boss of these two people was Sun Xiaohai, but there was no substantive evidence, so he could only be monitored.

Although Chen asked him, he pretended not to know anything, and he didn't know if he was real or pretending. "

Sun Chuanting quietly talked about the recent events.

Some of these things were reported to Sun Jie before, so Sun Jie also knew about them.

But listening to it, Sun Jie sensed something was wrong from what Sun Chuanting said.

So he asked, "But what problems did you encounter, or what difficulties did you encounter?"

Sun Chuanting sighed, and his voice became low, "Your Majesty must have heard the news that is circulating in the market today, with yellow mud on his crotch, and shit or shit.

The minister is loyal to His Majesty, and has no second thoughts, for the sake of the eternal stability of the Great Qin Dynasty, and for the sake of peace in everything.

Ever since I followed His Majesty, I have never done anything wrong to Your Majesty, but now the rumors in the market slander me as a traitor, a wolf-hearted person.

The matter entrusted by His Majesty to the minister, the minister must finish the book and do it well. The minister may not care about those gossips, but he cannot ignore his majesty's identity. The guilt is great. "

Sun Jie listened quietly, hearing grievances from these words.

In fact, the same is true. Although he has followed Sun Jie for a long time, because of his birth, he is not considered a direct descendant.

Usually, he couldn't urinate in the same pot as those people, and he was excluded in his work. Now that he is investigating this matter, there are countless high hats on his head.

Now only Sun Xiaohai has been investigated, and there are countless rumors. If the investigation goes deeper, no one knows what will happen.

As long as it is an individual, it is impossible to bear the slander of others, let alone Sun Chuanting.

Of course Sun Jie knew the pain in Sun Chuanting's heart, he walked down and picked up the briefcase in Sun Chuanting's hand.

"I know all the things you have done, and I remember them all. The rumors on the market are not good for you, and there must be someone behind them deliberately.

I am fully aware of your ability. If this matter is handed over to others, I am afraid that the truth of this matter will not be found out at all. In the whole court, I think you are the only one with this ability.

Just do it properly, don't worry about these things, I will issue an order later, give you the right to do things cheaply, and let you supervise the matter with full authority! "Sun Jie said.

Sun Chuanting said so much, but there is nothing more than one problem, that is, he does not have enough power in his hands to supervise this matter with all his strength.

That being the case, then give him enough rights.

In fact, the current Daqin officials are not monolithic.

Basically, there are two camps.

One is Shaanxi officials. These people are the most numerous, occupy various important departments, and are basically powerful figures.

The second is the ministers of the former Ming Dynasty who are dominated by Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng. Except for Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng who control the civil and military Senate, the rest are basically low-level officials.

There is no way for these two groups to live in harmony.

Unless the other party is completely defeated, there is no way to make peace.

If you can make good use of this contradiction, it can bring many benefits.

In fact, Sun Jie didn't do it on purpose at the beginning, and it was indeed Sun Chuanting who was capable of doing this.

Later, things developed step by step, and officials from Shaanxi were becoming more and more arrogant and domineering, so Sun Chuanting was always appointed as the Senate.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there are factional disputes, which is inevitable.

It is inevitable that Sun Chuanting will compete with these officials from Shaanxi.

Sun Jie can be suppressed by force, but is this really good?
Just like the nobles of Huaixi in the Ming Dynasty, who controlled the government for decades, if Zhu Yuanzhang hadn't uprooted him with ruthless hands later, how could he be able to check and balance with Zhu Yunqi, a waste?
Society needs multi-faceted development, and government also needs multi-faceted blossoming.

Being monolithic will do all kinds of harm to the government but not any benefit.

After officials from all over the country gradually enriched the government, the situation of Shaanxi officials' dominance could be improved.

Before that, Sun Chuanting could only be used to suppress it.

At any time, the ruler does not need too much wisdom or ability. As long as the government can stabilize the government, most things can basically be solved.

Sun Jie is still young and can wait slowly. He is not like Zhu Yuanzhang, and he does not need to be ruthless against Shaanxi officials.

This time Wu Zhirong introduced the matter, the person standing behind must be a Shaanxi official.

If this kind of matter is handed over to Shaanxi officials to supervise and handle it, it is really hard to say whether the real situation can be found out.

Now Sun Jie is facing a problem that Zhu Yuanzhang once faced, that is, Shaanxi officials, especially those officials who followed him at the earliest, intermarried with each other, and their power was intertwined.

Sun Jie's base is Qin Shang. These people had intermarried with each other before, and their relationship was unimaginable.

Just like that Cui Xinghe, he still has a close relationship with Sun Jie.

To put it bluntly, most of these Shaanxi officials are closely related.

If they really let them examine each other, the truth will only get further and further away.

Sun Chuanting's visit today is not to ask for resignation, the main purpose is to hope that Sun Jie will delegate power.

Don't look at him as a member of the Senate, but as an official, he doesn't have much power and position.

"Your Majesty can trust me so much, I will die without regret!"

Sun Chuanting knelt down with a plop, his expression eager.

Sun Jie helped him up, handed the briefcase to him again, and said earnestly: "How can doing things be so simple? In this world, there has never been an easy and happy thing. You have to overcome difficulties."

"The minister obeys the order!"

Thank you very much Sun Chuanting.

After some reconciliation between the monarch and his ministers, Sun Chuanting left with a leather bag.

If it was Chongzhen or other emperors, there would be a high probability that they would only scold Sun Chuanting for his ineffectiveness.

Anyone with a discerning eye can understand that Sun Chuanting is here to demand power.

Sun Jie doesn't have these ideas, as long as he can do things, what about giving power?
Sun Chuanting was in a good mood, walked out of the room, just took two steps, and met Cui Xinghe who came to pay a visit to Sun Jie.

Cui Xinghe was going back today, so he came to see Sun Jie earlier.

The two stopped between three or four steps, looking at each other in twos.

Cui Xinghe smiled, stepped aside with a warm face, stood aside and waved his hands, "Hello, Mr. Sun!"

Sun Chuanting smiled back, and responded to him with a smile, "Master Cui is really a young talent, and he will definitely accomplish a lot in the future!"

"Thank you, Master Sun, for your compliment!" Cui Xinghe said.

Sun Chuanting nodded without thinking too much, and then left.

Cui Xinghe stood where he was, looking back at the direction Sun Chuanting left, his eyes were full of viciousness.

……

After Sun Jie left, Chang'an City obviously felt much more casual than before.

There are far fewer soldiers and inspectors patrolling the streets.

The whole city is like entering a state of leisure and functioning on its own.

This feeling is very subtle, but if you observe carefully, you can still find it.

This guy Tang Ruowang dared to wander around Chang'an City at will now, and after staying here for such a long time, he no longer had the restraint he had before.

I ate some snacks casually on the street, and when the sky was dark, I went back to my residence in the university.

Lock the door, close all the windows, and then pull the typhoon off the table.

He took out a few booklets full of words from the bookcase beside him, and began to add content to them.

There are four booklets in total, all written in Latin.

The first book is very thin, titled "Eastern Empire Experience Record", which mainly records what he saw and heard after he arrived in the East, as well as Sun Jie's uniqueness.

The second book is thick and entitled "Principles of Natural Science".

This book was originally the general outline of natural science written by Sun Jie, which introduced in detail the basic content of "Mathematics", "Physics", "Chemistry", "Biology" and other subjects.

Including but not limited to modern junior and senior high school knowledge, and a small amount of university knowledge.

In other words, this book is the basic education, which is the foundation of all the advanced knowledge and technology in the future.

Most of the content in this book is only available in Sun Jie in the whole world, and those things that the West has mastered are not even more than one-tenth of this book.

In addition to this book, there are two thinner books.

One is "Smelting and Forming", and the other is "Basics of Chemical Engineering".

These two books are the two most important subjects of Daqin University.

"Smelting and Forming" is a book compiled by Sun Jie based on the courses of "Smelting", "Machinery Manufacturing", and "Forging" that he learned in modern university. It mainly cultivates talents in metal smelting and mechanical processing.

The knowledge here is hundreds of years ahead of the world. If it is thrown into the West, the above things will change the entire West and improve their smelting level in a short period of time.

"Basics of Chemical Engineering" mainly includes two subjects, one is inorganic chemical engineering, and the other is organic chemical engineering.

The main content is the synthesis of various industrial products, simple principles of explosives and various chemicals.

If this book is brought to the west, the level of weapon manufacturing in the west will be greatly improved.

Tang Ruowang is a missionary. During the great geographical discoveries and great voyages, these missionaries rushed faster than those pirates.

They have the firmest beliefs and the most tenacious will in their hearts.

Tang Ruowang is like this.

During his so many years in Chang'an, he thought about the West and his hometown all the time.

In my dreams, I want to spread what I know to the West.

At the beginning, the only things he could touch were some basic subjects.

Later, he became more and more loyal, and he came into contact with more and more things.

But there are still many things that he is not qualified to touch.

However, he took advantage of his status to try his best to collect those things.

Go to sit in, let the students tell him, go to the library to peek.

After so many years and various schemes, so many things have finally been accumulated.

To avoid detection, he wrote in Latin.

Now that these books have been completed, only the last step is left, which is to send them back to China.

If these four books are spread to the West, their impact will be even greater than that of the Great Voyage.

To put it bluntly, all the wealth of Western countries in this era cannot buy the knowledge in these books.

If these books spread to the West, they might directly trigger an industrial revolution.

Tang Ruowang's ultimate goal is to pass these things back to China.

When Sun Jie didn't leave, he didn't dare to do this at all.

Now that Sun Jie has not returned for a long time, he finally took courage.

"There are so many things in the East, I can only choose the important ones to record. This is a gift I brought to the West, and I have not betrayed it!"

Tang Ruowang took out a bible with a kraft paper cover from his arms, held the bible in his left hand, and put his right hand on the four books, and whispered the oath.

After all the preparatory work was done, it was already daylight.

He put these things away and called his men over.

The room was a bit crowded, Tang Ruowang let out a long breath, and said, "My work is done, now I'm going to send it out!"

These people knew what Tang Ruowang was talking about, and they also became excited.

"Don't be too happy, how to send it out is the key. Emperor Sun once said that if books don't leave Yumen Pass, those who disobey the order will be executed.

Not to mention that we are still closely monitored by his subordinates. Although these days have been a little more relaxed, if we leave Chang'an City, we will probably be driven back immediately. "Tang Ruowang's brows gradually frowned, and worry surfaced on his face.

Books do not come out of Yumen Pass, this is a dead rule set by Sun Jie.

The power of knowledge is much more powerful than guns.

Although Sun Jie has now shown a crushing attitude towards the West, he must still take strict precautions and cannot relax in any way.

The originally happy faces of these people in the room gradually calmed down.

"After living here for so many years, I think you should understand how powerful this terrifying empire is. If we do nothing and don't care about anything, one day the whole world will prostrate at Emperor Sun's feet. This is a disaster. We can't just sit and ignore it!"
