At this time, in a house hidden in the valley, there were several large iron pots in the room, and a group of people were stirring the apples in the pot with shovels. They cooked until they were cooked through, then took them out and filtered them into juice. After fermentation, they were poured into a copper pot, infiltrated with opium paste, stirred evenly, and boiled into a black paste. They were fished out and dried, and this was the "Fu. Shou. Paste".

Ichiro Matsumoto was looking down with a smug look on his face.

He spent most of his life traveling around, and he had been to Dayan as early as when Dayan merchants landed in the Kingdom of Yamato.

At that time, Dayan was a very ordinary person. He only stayed for a few days before returning to the sea.

But he never expected that ten years later, when he came to Dayan again, what he saw was a situation he could never imagine!

The road was smooth and wide, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and many of the things on the street were things he had never seen before... There was even one time when he saw a madly speeding steel behemoth!

He was just shocked at first, but gradually, everything in front of him seemed to turn into countless gold, silver and jewels!

But what kind of business could make a fortune without any investment? He thought about it for a long time, and finally thought of something from India. This was grown in many places in India and Britain. After refining it, he changed the name and sold it to the people of Dayan.

What does it matter if he is not from Dayan? As long as they are given a small profit, they will happily help him sell it.

He often stood at the door of the pharmacy, and every time he saw some foolish people holding the box as if it were a treasure, he felt very pity.

...

...

Those who often take these will all look like skeletons, with dull eyes, like the living dead...but they really regard this as a good medicine! Once you start taking it, you can't live without it for the rest of your life, so how can he not make money?

And when everyone is attracted to it, the country becomes a mess!

In the words of the people of Dayan, this can be considered a complete victory without bloodshed!

Ichiro Matsumoto thought smugly.

At this moment, someone came in hurriedly and said, "Mr. Song! A wealthy businessman from another place wants to see you. He wants to buy a lot of Fu. Shou. Cream!"

Ichiro Matsumoto frowned, a little unhappy. No matter how many times he said it, people here would always think his last name was Matsu.

But he smiled amiably: "A wealthy businessman from another place?"

"Yes!" the man said, "He looks very rich!"

Ichiro Matsumoto smiled and said, "Okay."

Soon, he met the wealthy businessman. He was only a young man of sixteen or seventeen years old, but he was dressed in splendid clothes and looked very energetic.

Ichiro Matsumoto had been to Dayan several times and had stayed there for several years. He spoke Chinese fluently and had developed good eyesight. He could tell at a glance that this man had an extraordinary bearing, so his attitude became even more amiable.

The young man was still lazy, as if he had plenty of money. He opened his mouth and said, "At least 10,000 or 20,000 boxes!"

Ten or twenty thousand boxes!? Matsumoto Ichiro laughed hastily, "Huo Xiaolang is really a joker."

"Who is kidding you?" He said, "It's just 10,000 boxes, a mere 200,000 taels, do you think I can't afford it?"

Ichiro Matsumoto said anxiously, "Xiaolang Huo is very rich, I wonder when you will ask for it?"

"Of course the sooner the better!" Huo Yuxin said arrogantly, "I can't stay here for long. Can you give it to me within three days?"

"Well..." Ichiro Matsumoto said, "Three days may be a little difficult. How about this, I'll give you a box of this..." He gestured, "I'll give it to you within ten days, okay?"

Huo Yuxin pretended to be dissatisfied, and the two of them argued back and forth.

Finally, the deal was settled. Huo Yuxin readily paid the deposit and signed the contract. Then Huo Yuxin asked, "Will eating too much of this kill people?"

"How could it be!" Matsumoto Ichiro said, "This is a magical medicine that can increase your fortune and longevity!"

Huo Yuxin smiled slightly and sent Matsumoto Ichiro away.

He turned around and went next door.

The prince was sitting quietly.

Huo Yuxin said: "It seems that he only has that one workshop in this local area, and he doesn't have any other outside." He paused: "In other words, he is the only one in this business!"

The prince nodded: "Very good! Fortunately we found it in time! Then it will be easy for us to clean up!"

He stood up and ordered directly: "Do it tonight!"

As soon as Ichiro Matsumoto returned to the workshop hidden in the valley, he was surrounded by soldiers. All the finished and unfinished products were secretly transported away.

At the same time, all the pharmacies that cooperated with Ichiro Matsumoto were raided overnight. People holding lanterns were everywhere, and those who were called up were still confused and had no idea what was going on.

And Ichiro Matsumoto returned to the house where they first met.

When he saw Huo Yuxin, Matsumoto Ichiro's first thought was that Huo Yuxin wanted to swallow his goods. He couldn't help but said angrily: "How can you be so dishonest! I came to your Dayan to do business! How dare you treat me like this! Aren't you afraid that I will go back and tell Emperor Jimmu that I will not do business with your Dayan anymore?"

"Oh!" Huo Yuxin sneered, "What's wrong with me? I just want to invite you to taste what you made yourself!" He asked someone to bring a box over: "Eat more, I'll treat you, it's free."

Ichiro Matsumoto's face changed and he stepped back suddenly: "I won't eat it! I won't eat it! Ugh!"

He groaned and was kicked to the ground by Huo Yuxin.

Huo Yuxin said coldly: "Isn't it a magical medicine that brings happiness and longevity? Why don't you take it yourself?"

He forced it into his mouth, and Ichiro Matsumoto tried desperately to spit it out. Huo Yuxin simply turned him over and stepped on a pressure point. Ichiro Matsumoto opened his mouth in shock and swallowed the fortune and longevity cream in one gulp.

Ichiro Matsumoto's eyes were red with anger: "How dare you do this! I am a guest of your Dayan!"

Huo Yuxin kicked him again: "How dare you call yourself a guest of Dayan? A guest who poisoned the host!? We in Dayan are a country of etiquette. We are always courteous to guests who come to do business, but we will never be polite to a jackal like you who has lost all conscience!"

Xu Jingxi came in from outside: "Brother, I will do the trial, you go help His Highness."

Huo Yuxin nodded and retracted his feet. Xu Jingxi squatted down and opened the lid of the box of Fu.Shou.Ointment.

Huo Yuxin hurried to the front. His status was more powerful, so it was easier for him to handle things than Xu Jingxi.

At this time, several people had been brought here. In the darkness, a wailing sound could be heard from time to time: "I don't know! I really don't know! Even if I have no humanity, I would not dare to do such a thing!"

The prince stood in the corridor with his hands behind his back, listening quietly.

The prince's appearance and temperament seem very similar to Emperor Chengsheng, but in fact his personality is much tougher and more angular than his father's. He does things a bit like Yan Shiyue, and has a bit of a hatred of evil.

Huo Yuxin advised: "I'm afraid these people don't know much, and...it's not appropriate to punish them too harshly."

"I know." The prince said, "but we must teach them a lesson."

Huo Yuxin asked: "People outside?"

"Don't worry," the prince said, "I deliberately let them make a big noise, so that they will remember it."

Huo Yuxin nodded and stopped persuading him.

People outside were in a panic and the whole night was in turmoil. It was not until dawn that several people came out of the governor's mansion on horseback, carrying the imperial edict as they went.

The court added a series of laws targeting happiness, longevity and ointment, such as:

From now on, all ports are under martial law to prohibit the inflow of Fu, Shou and Gao. Anyone who neglects his duties and causes the inflow of these substances will be immediately dismissed from office and held accountable.

Planting and selling it is forbidden, and offenders will be put to death immediately. Anyone who takes it privately will have his property confiscated and be imprisoned for three years, and his three generations will not be allowed to take the imperial examinations.

Officials and their families who have taken drugs must immediately stop taking them for six months. If they cannot stop taking them, they will be dismissed immediately. Those who conceal the facts will be exiled immediately if they are found to have taken drugs. If any of the royal family members are found to have taken drugs, they will be immediately removed from the family tree...

There are also a series of measures to reward whistleblowers.

Not only the common people, but even the officials were stunned with shock. This was truly the most serious case since the Ming Yan Dynasty and Cheng Sheng Dynasty.

He rode several horses back and forth in the streets and alleys several times to make sure everyone heard it and heard it clearly.

Then another group of people came and started to preach the harm of this thing, and they also ran back and forth several times.

In fact, many people among the people have taken this thing. Some are horrified, some are panicked, and some think it is alarmist.

But the next moment, someone brought a cage of mice over, found a high place, and then conducted an experiment in public...

Nothing is better than seeing it with your own eyes. If you see it with your own eyes, I am afraid you will never forget that scene in your life.

While he was busy outside, Xu Jingxi spent two full days interrogating Ichiro Matsumoto.

Then he discussed with the prince and the others, and brought in a porcelain jar: "You think you know our Dayan very well, so you must have heard of Gu."

Ichiro Matsumoto's face suddenly changed!

Of course he had heard of Gu, which is an extremely terrifying thing in legend!

Jishidiang has spent several years researching this thing. It should be considered a scientific research Gu. The prince specially sent someone to get it when he left the capital, and it was used in this extraordinary time.

Xu Jingxi forced the Gu into his mouth without hesitation, and then demonstrated to him the interaction between the mother Gu and the child Gu. Ichiro Matsumoto rolled on the ground in pain, howling until his voice became hoarse.

Then Xu Jingxi said coldly: "We will return all your things to you, and we will also send people to help you... It is impolite not to return the favor. Since you are a Yamato merchant, then you can give this thing to you Yamato people to taste it yourself!"

Ichiro Matsumoto refused at first, but once the mother Gu moved, he obeyed.

They assigned him a few shadow guards and sent him on board the ship that same day.

Since Ichiro Matsumoto is so good at business and invented this harmful thing without any guidance, then just go and harm your own family!

You know, Ichiro Matsumoto was a successful man in Yamato. He traveled to many countries and had broad knowledge. Yamato was also his hometown. It was of course much easier to develop business in his hometown than in a foreign country.

So a few years later, the whole of Yamato was filled with zombies.

To use the words of later generations, it can be said that the national economy regressed by 200 years.

When Yan Shiyue learned about this later, he just felt that... although this action was not in line with the rules of etiquette in the country, it was really cool!

But afterwards, the prince also sent people to sneak into India and Britain to destroy this plant, trying to nip these things, which would cause endless harm to future generations and were a cancer to the entire human race, in the bud...The nightmare would never happen again, love is boundless, and "peace will be brought to the world for all eternity"!

Of course, this is a story for later.

It took the prince and his entourage two months to complete the follow-up work and rush back to Chang'an.

Xu Jingxi sent four large carts of things and a large package of letters to Wannian Garden.

Because of their contributions in this matter, Emperor Chengsheng gave them half a month's vacation. He came to Wannian Garden every day to ask for a meeting, waiting from early morning to dusk.

He was busy in Jiangnan, but he would write to her whenever he had time, writing down everything he saw and heard, no matter how big or small. Huo Yuchu read from the first letter to the last, and felt as if he had accompanied him on this journey.

Huo Yuxin came in and coughed: "Gao Gao, I actually think this person is not bad, think about it carefully."

Huo Yuchu sighed, put his hand on the letter, and said after a while: "Let him in."

In the pavilion not far away, Yan Shiyue looked down at Xu Jingxi who trotted in with a look of joy on his face, and couldn't help but sigh: "Poor Cheng Xi! It seems that this silly boy has finally achieved results!"

Huo Qijing smiled and held her hand. Yan Shiyue looked down and happened to see the three-inch-tall Xiao Qi. She couldn't help but sigh again: "Finally one is solved... There are still others waiting!"

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Huo Qijing said with a smile, "Isn't it good for the family to be together?"

"I'm not in a hurry!" Yan Shiyue smiled and hugged his arm, kissing him on the chin: "No matter where I go, you'll be with me anyway!"
