"Well, well, Your Majesty always has something to do. This two million taels of silver per year, but are there any conditions for asking for a tax increase?" Gao Hanwen once again tested the situation in Jiajing on Yang Jinshui's side.
"Your Majesty is so benevolent as God, how can you have the heart to raise taxes on the people? Don't think about anything else, just think about it. If you don't raise taxes on the people, it's best to do it without the government having to go to war." "A way to achieve it." Yang Jinshui was happy with Gao Hanwen's Tai Chi performance, and Gao Hanwen's straight personality was basically established, so he was willing to open up privately and speak more frankly.
"This," Gao Hanwen was a little embarrassed. He actually knew a way, but he just didn't know how the Seven Injury Fist would work. I also thought about using a longer version of the word "this" and dragging it out to see if there is any policy support or something. It really allowed the old Taoist priest from Jiajing to show off his skill and skill.
"You need to come up with something about this matter, and someone will take care of it afterwards. So there is no need to worry. Our family also knows that it is difficult for you. If it doesn't work, you can think about it for another ten days. I will make the decision after ten days. Then take your results and return to Beijing in advance to deliver the order." Yang Jinshui straightened his clothes as he finished speaking.
This means that if you don’t hear anything from me any longer, you have to leave.
"Yes, yes, Eunuch Yang, I have a way to earn two million taels of silver a year. But there are some risks. I'm afraid something will go wrong if I don't tell you." Gao Hanwen quickly called out to Yang. Gold water. Knowing his status with Lu Fang, Gao Hanwen was still willing to maintain a superior image in front of him.
"Oh, why so fast?" Yang Jinshui suddenly became curious.
"In the past, governance was based on the people, and we had to be careful about the changing public sentiments. Naturally, we were unable to make a decision for a long time. This time Eunuch Yang said that we cannot increase taxes and levy taxes on the people, so we naturally don't worry about this, and we naturally have a better idea of a method. "
After speaking, Gao Hanwen moved his mouth to Yang Jinshui's ear.
"Manage opium poppies and export them to Europe and the West," Gao Hanwen said confidently.
"Poppy, although that kind of flower is beautiful and popular among literati, it is not very valuable. The literati in Thailand and Western countries may not like it, and it is troublesome to grow. Mr. Gao, you should think about it carefully before talking about it." Yang Jinshui was a little unhappy. Why was Gao Hanwen talking nonsense?
"When did the poppy become an ornamental flower?" Gao Hanwen asked puzzledly.
"Poppy scholars also call it rice bag. If it is not for viewing, what else can it be used for?" Yang Jinshui asked rhetorically.
At this time, Gao Hanwen reacted. Most of the opium poppies that Westerners use to make drugs are grown as potted plants by these ignorant literati.
History is really lucky. If these literati discovered the true purpose of poppy, wouldn’t there be another round of deceptive stories about two Jins and five stones scattered. History is indeed full of coincidences.
"I'm not talking about viewing, but the fruit has other uses." Gao Hanwen began to explain the good fortune ointment to Yang Jinshui in detail.
Halfway through the explanation, Gao Hanwen realized that the Ming Dynasty already had medicinal Fushou ointment, but it was only used as an analgesic, and it was not made from the ornamental rice bag fruit, but from the wild poppy introduced from Southeast Asia. Made from fruit.
About the Tang Dynasty, medical books recorded that the poppy native to China should still be used for medicinal purposes. However, after cross-breeding by literati in the past dynasties, by the Ming Dynasty, the flowers were basically becoming more and more beautiful, and the medicinal value was approaching. At zero. So that if I want to relieve pain in the Ming Dynasty, I have to transplant wild poppies from Southeast Asia. After understanding this, I have to sigh that this is really a fantasy world.
"Taishi has a fleet to the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty has never had one. If things go on like this, there will be future troubles. Mr. Gao, it is not kind of you to eat Taishi's rice and smash Taishi's pot." After understanding, wild poppies can After making opium, being able to control Europe and the West, and gaining a steady stream of economic and political benefits, Yang Jinshui had to give Gao Hanwen a thumbs up.
"Let's go. Now that Brother Gao has figured out a way, there is no need to worry about the implementation. Someone from the Supervisor of Ceremonies will naturally handle it. Brother Gao should go to the Qianyamen with our family to meet Zhu Qi. He must have been waiting for a long time. You have met before. This time, you will have to help him more."
