Chapter 176 Picking up a bargain
The sedan chair was at the intersection of the street outside the gate of the Governor's Office. Yi Zhizu stomped his feet and fell down the sedan chair. Then he walked forward quickly. From a distance, he saw a green sedan chair parked outside the gate of the Governor's Office. He thought that it was Governor Yiliang in the Governor's Office. On the ground of Guangzhou, except for the third-rank or above, only the Governor could sit on the green sedan chair.??c
Yiliang, whose courtesy name was Yueting, was a member of the Manchurian Zhenghong Banner. He was promoted from the Jiangsu Governor to the Governor of Guangdong in February this year. He was not old, only forty-seven years old. He was born in the Ministry of Justice and was promoted to the local government. After being promoted to the local government, he was promoted to the local government. He was promoted all the way and had a prosperous official career. He served as the governor of Gaozhou, Guangdong, Nanning, Yunnan Yanfadao, Shandong Yanyun, Anhui, Jiangsu Censor, Jiangxi, and Jiangsu Governor.
At the end of last month, Yi Liang took office, and Yi Zhizu went to pay his respects. This person was in the prime of his life and was in the throne. He would probably stay in the position of governor of Guangdong for several years. He would show his strength in Guangzhou in the past few years, which was the most critical years. He could not dislike the officials on the ground in Guangzhou.
The gatekeeper of the Governor's Mansion was very enthusiastic about Yi Zhizu. When he saw him entering the door, a clever and quickly came up to him and led him to the second hall with great sincerity. After reporting, a senior came out quickly and said respectfully: "The Lord of the Ministry was still asking, Lord of Yi, please come in."
Yi Zhizu did not wear official uniforms. When he entered the room, he saw Deng Tingzhen and Yiliang wearing official robes. He was a little embarrassed. Deng Tingzhen smiled and said with a smile: "Quezu was just coming in a hurry. There is no need to be polite. I sit down.·?h??"
With Yi Liang present, Yi Zhizu did not dare to be too casual. After bowing and greeting, he sat down. Yi Liang was tall, very burly, with a square face and long beard, which was in sharp contrast to the thin Deng Tingzhen. Seeing that Deng Tingzhen was so easy-going to Yi Zhizu, he thought to himself that the rumors were true, and it seemed that Deng Tingzhen really favored this shopkeeper Yuan Qi.
After Yi Shizuo sat down, Deng Tingzhen said, "Today's residence report, I think I've read it."
"Return to Master." Yi Zhizu bowed and said, "I went to Yuanqi Yixue to inspect the next morning. As soon as I returned to Yuanqi General Office, I heard that the Lord summoned me, so I hurried over and had not seen the report of today's residence."
"Huang Juezi submitted a memorial - "Please strictly prohibit missing the money to cultivate national skills." Deng Tingzhen said. He picked up the newspaper on the coffee table and handed it over, saying, "Look at it first with contentment."
Yi Zhizu heard it once before, so he read it very quickly, so he read the summary. "Please prohibit the leakage of the country to cultivate the skills" thousands of words, but in fact it can be summarized in four points. First, the real reason for the rise in silver prices is due to the outflow of silver, and in the past ten years, the amount of outflow of silver has been astonishing.
2. The four methods proposed to ban smoking, strictly investigate the entry and exit of Haikou, prohibit trade, investigate Naxing's tobacco dealers and strictly control tobacco restaurants, open poppy plants, ban listening to the mainland to boil cigarettes, boycott foreign opium, and other four methods cannot curb the influx of opium.·?h??
3. The ultimate reason for the overflow of opium silver outflow is attributed to the smokers. It is recommended to severely punish opium smokers through severe punishment. Those who have not quit smoking addicts for one year will be sentenced to death.
Fourth, it is proposed to promote the prescription for smoking cessation and Baojia method to assist in the implementation of the strategy of treating remedial smoking.
After reading the summary, Yi Zhizu did not rush to speak, and drugs were difficult to ban. He was very clear. Ezreals were poisoned for two hundred years, and they could really ban ezreals. The ones were the decades after the founding of the People's Republic of China. After the opening up to the outside world, drugs made a comeback and began to spread. Although they spared no effort to ban drug, the results were not great.
In the current situation of the Qing Dynasty, if you want to completely ban crows, the death penalty for those who suck crows may be the most effective method, and it can also achieve immediate results, but it is a bit too cool and harsh.
After thinking for a moment, he spoke: "Crows are poisoned for decades. Nowadays, millions of pounds are flowing in a year, and millions of suckers are taking over. It is not a matter of banning opium. If you are eager to achieve success, you may be contrary to your wishes..."
Yiliang glanced at him and said, "Sincerely opposed the death penalty to severely punish those who smoked rookies?"
"Oppose." Yi Zhizu said without hesitation: "Those who smoke crows are sentenced to death. What punishment should those who sell crows? Besides, it is difficult to quit smoking. This is well-known. Those who smoke crows are all those with certain assets. If you are tortured with such severe laws, do not worry about local turmoil?"
Yiliang strongly advocated the ban on eclipses. After hearing this, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned. This is really something that has to be considered. Those who smoke opium are rich. If they really want to severely punish those who smoke, local officials and clerks are not working hard. It is not impossible to take this opportunity to extort and exploit public changes, and cause local turmoil.
Deng Tingzhen stroked his long beard and said, "I think how to ban smoking?"
"The law does not punish the public." Yi Zhizu said slowly: "The harm of opium is very strong. I also agree to the use of strict torture to strictly prohibit it. However, the targeted by severe torture should be those who sell opium and open tobacco shops, rather than those who smoke. For smoking, the focus should be on quitting smoking, and coercive measures can be adopted to force the smokers to quit.
Furthermore, the source is blocked and the flow is exhausted, and the flow of crows is strictly prohibited, and the cultivation of crows is strictly prohibited. Without crows, the consumption will naturally give up smoking."
Deng Tingzhen said slightly: "I banned the ravens last year and alleviated the flow of silver into the headquarters. I made three suggestions. Do you still remember it now?"
"Naturally remember." Yi Zhizu said loudly: "The smuggling of smuggling of scattered eagles is strictly prohibited, and the cultivation of scattered eagles is promoted to a virtuous cycle of foreign trade."
Cultivating eagles in vassal states? Yiliang was very curious and hurriedly said, "Can Zhizu say in detail?"
Yi Zhizu had already reacted at this time. Deng Tingzhen summoned him to come today not to listen to his opinion on "Please strictly prohibit misleading the country's ability", but to take this opportunity to ask him to tell Yi Liang three suggestions last year. The matter was obvious. Yi Liang was a man of the world and was rising all the way, obviously he was highly valued by Daoguang. Deng Tingzhen wanted to use his mouth to write to the court for three suggestions that Yi Zhizu had.
After thinking about this, Yi Zhizu immediately explained the content of the three suggestions in detail, planting crows in vassal states. No one proposed this in the Qing Dynasty. It is Yi Zhizu's creation. This method can not only combat crows and smuggle and alleviate the outflow of silver, but also earn tens of millions of taels of silver for the court every year.
Yiliang's eyes were bright when he heard it. He was a little puzzled. Why did Deng Tingzhen never write to the court for such a great advice?
He was very smart and then realized that Deng Tingzhen initially agreed to the relaxation of the ban on ruffles. In the 16th year of Daoguang, he wrote a memorial "Please refer to the ban on opium that Xu Naiji wrote and proposed to submit a ban on opium and a ban on plans to submit a ban on them." Later, he saw that the wind was wrong and his attitude changed sharply, and changed from relaxation to strict ban.
When planting cloves in vassal states, if it was a disguised relaxation, Deng Tingzhen was afraid of gaining a reputation of capriciousness, so he did not dare to write a letter. Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing secretly. In this way, he had made a big advantage. (To be continued.)
