Clear Wear and Lie to Win

Chapter 171 Opium
Mrs. Li smiled happily and said, "As long as Mrs. Luo likes it, there is a story about this tea."

Yun Rong asked curiously, "What story?"

"This tea was only discovered not long ago. It is said that our master has intentions. Otherwise, this tea tree will be destroyed. This tea looks no different from ordinary tea trees, so when a villager sells this tea tree It was regarded as an ordinary tea tree, and the villagers didn't know what the condition of the tea tree was, so they sold it as an ordinary tea tree.

Coincidentally, when I was selling, I met a rent collector on the street. The tone of the rent collector was not good, saying that the villager had to pay money for the commercial land, and the villager wanted to give money just to sell a tea tree. Naturally quit.

So he said that he would not sell it, but the rent collector still refused to let him go. He also said that he would not let him go if he did not give money. smashed.

Our master appeared at this time. He came to inspect the shop at home. The shop was just opposite to the villager's stall. He saw such a scene as soon as he went out. He walked in and wanted to ask what was going on. Delayed his own business, and then saw the tea tree.

My lord was a tea merchant in his early years and had a lot of research on tea. Although the tea tree looks like an ordinary tea tree, the leaves are slightly different, and the roots of the tea tree are also a little different, so our lord wondered if this might be a new tea tree. tea tree.

Thinking about it this way, I wanted to buy this tea tree. After I bought it, I studied it carefully and found that it was indeed a new tea tree. So I sent people to find the villagers who buried the tea tree, asked where the tea tree was dug, and found a different place. Fearing that these tea trees would not be able to adapt to the external environment, our master bought that hill. "

Yunrong didn't expect such a tortuous situation for a tea tree, which sounds interesting.

"Master Li really has a discerning eye!" Yunrong sighed.

Mrs. Li was very happy to hear Yun Rong's words, but she still had to be modest: "It's not a good eye, but luck is better."

Isn't it just luck?

Yunrong said again: "I just heard Mrs. Li mention that Mr. Li is not a tea merchant. Now the tea merchant's business is good, why don't you do it?"

Mrs. Li sighed and explained: "The tea business is really good, but it takes a lot of energy to serve the tea trees, and you also have to worry about the quality of the tea. Moreover, if the tea is picked, it is time-consuming and laborious to process, and the mid-way transportation is also difficult. Big risks need to be taken.

Later, when I was young, I made some friends with a foreign businessman. Once the man left in a hurry and needed to sell a batch of imported products from overseas. The master bought them at that time. Since then, the family has gradually stopped doing tea business. . "

Yunrong also said with emotion: "So there is such a thing. Speaking of which, is the business of this imported product easy to do? I come from the capital, although there are shops there that can buy imported products. But look at the ones that are sold inside. Not many things?"

Mrs. Li said with a face of "you don't know", "That's right, our side is close to the sea, so generally all imported goods from overseas will be sold in batches. They save time and effort and can quickly get what they want. , so the things here are the most complete, with more types and styles.

The place closer to Guangzhou is better, after all, it is easy to transport, but like the capital city, the transportation process is too inconvenient. If there is an accident in the middle, half of the entire net worth will be lost. It is better to buy and sell nearby, and the safety is guaranteed. what! "

Yunrong said with a look of "I see": "I see! Hearing what Mrs. Li said, I am really interested in this imported product."

It was obvious that Yun Rong's identity was unusual, and knowing that she was interested in imported products, she began to talk about it. Besides, today's banquet had something to do with it.

Mrs. Li: "If Mrs. Luo likes this imported product, there is one in the house. Whatever Mrs. Luo likes, I will ask someone to bring some back to Mrs. Luo later."

Naturally, Yunrong would not want her things, and said with a smile: "Thank you Madam Li for your kindness. I just heard that imported goods are very precious, and I am very interested in their origins. There is no need to own good things. I am afraid I will let Madam Li down." What a treat."

Mrs. Li was not angry either, and said very nicely: "Since Mrs. Luo wants to know the origin of this imported product, Mrs. Cheng knows more about it."

One of the wives sitting below said with a smile: "Mrs. Li, don't flatter me, I just understand."

Then he looked at Yunrong and said, "Since Mrs. Luo likes these things, I'll just talk about them casually, and Mrs. Luo will take it as a pleasure."

Yunrong smiled and said, "Since Mrs. Li has said everything, Mrs. Cheng must be proficient in the future, so I will listen carefully."

This Mrs. Cheng has some knowledge and knows a lot about these things.

"I married a British businessman, and I once went out with a merchant ship, but I didn't go far, and I only know some things. What I know is that these imported goods come from far away overseas.

There are a lot of these imported products, just like the tea porcelain embroidery of our Qing Dynasty, which is very common. Overseas, our tea porcelain embroidery of the Qing Dynasty is very popular, and those who can afford it are nobles and rich people.

Therefore, most businessmen from overseas will spend a large part of it in exchange for these things, and then sell them back to their own countries. If they go to sea once, if they can return safely, they can basically be rich for a lifetime.

However, the sea is not particularly safe. In addition to the harsh sea environment and many dangers, there are also pirates from time to time. If you are unlucky, you will often die in the sea. This is why although the sea business makes money, only some people dare to do business. ..."

This Mrs. Cheng talked a lot, and Yun Rong listened seriously.

Then I finally heard her talk about the specific situation on the ship: "...Speaking of which, the environment on the ship is not particularly good. Most of the ship are slaves. In order to ensure the normal operation of the ship, the captain will regularly distribute refreshing things to the slaves. Specifically, I don't know anything..."

Afterwards, Yunrong didn't hear what Mrs. Cheng said very clearly. After hearing what Mrs. Cheng said, Yunrong suddenly thought of something, which was absolutely refreshing and could control people.

opium.

Oh my god!Yun Rong really didn't dare to think, how could it be possible, how could opium appear at this time?
Yun Rong quickly regained consciousness and maintained her state of mind until she left.

On the return journey, alone in the carriage, the smile on her face disappeared.

After returning to the residence, Yunrong came to Yinzhen's study.

Everything that happened at today's party was told to Yinzhen, so Yinzhen must also know about it.

"You already knew?"

Yinzhen shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, because I don't dare to think about it, after all, it's not a good thing."

It's really not a good thing, but Yinzhen still thought of it.

The opium was really impressive to Yinzhen. The Forbidden City was attacked. When Yinzhen was wandering outside, he met men and women who smoked opium. Lying crookedly in the opium hall, drunk and dreaming of dying, the result is really utterly dead, and no one is willing to collect the corpse.

"Now that it's confirmed, what are you going to do?"

How to do?
Naturally, we want to kill this thing in the cradle, which is really harmful.

Yinzhen said very seriously: "I'd rather kill this thing by mistake than let it go. If anyone dares to touch it or use it to do evil, they will definitely be ashamed."

No wonder Yinzhen is like this, it is not an exaggeration to say that this thing is a weapon of the Republic of China.

Yunrong saw it with her own eyes, although she knew the dangers of opium, she was a little more rational than Yinzhen who was angry now.

"Don't worry about getting angry, there is no concrete evidence to prove the harm of this thing, and according to today's purification technology, compared with the opium used to control slaves today, it is not to the extent that people are willing to do anything."
