The seven-nation structure that had been stable for nearly a hundred years was completely changed, and the world once again fell into chaos...
Only future generations will know who will win.
Living in the changing times, all living beings can only try their best to live in the present.
No matter how stormy or dark the weather is, the rising and setting of the sun remain unchanged.
……..
The people of Zhouwei initially did not feel much about the seven nations merging into two forces.
But gradually, they discovered the difference.
First of all, they can no longer travel freely among the seven countries to do business as before.
Secondly, Zhou Wei began compulsory conscription. As long as one was young and middle-aged, he would be sent directly to the barracks without any explanation.
Once again, the goods from Beijiang were becoming less and less. The exquisite glass, beautiful rouge and powder, snow-white paper... were banned from sale by the government, and anyone who violated the order would be killed.
Finally, the Wu Shi San, which was once worth a fortune, is no longer a rare item. As long as you have enough money, you can get it.
besides......
The differences after the merger have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain and quickly occupied the daily lives of the people.
As for the people of Beijiang, Weizhao and Fengwu, their lives did not change much.
Because no matter what they want, Beijiang sells it!
Secondly, Beijiang did not issue a ban, prohibiting people from buying Zhou Wei's goods.
The biggest difference is the "ban on dispersal"!
Wu Shi San was widely available in Zhouwei and anyone with money could buy it.
Nowadays, all the noble children in Zhou Weiguo are addicted to Wu Shi San, and almost everyone is addicted.
In Beijiang, Xie Ling resolutely prohibited the people from taking Wu Shi San and issued a "ban order".
If any merchant is found selling these drugs, they will be confiscated and destroyed, and the merchant will be sent to prison.
If people are found smoking drugs, they will be taken to a "detoxification center" where they will be detained for a minimum of three months to force them to quit their addiction.
If someone continues to smoke drugs after being released from a rehabilitation center, he will be imprisoned for one year. If he still cannot quit within one year, he will be imprisoned for three to five years.
Secondly, there are rewards for reporting.
Report one person and you will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver.
Report two people and receive a reward of two hundred taels of silver... and so on.
The two countries of Fengwu, Wei and Zhao followed this example.
Despite such a tough approach, Wu Shi San did not spread.
At the same time, Xie Ling also explained the dangers of Wu Shi San.
Wu Shi San, like some modern addictive drugs, can cause mental confusion, organ failure and shortened life span.
The people are all looking forward to living a good life. Who doesn’t want to live a few more years?
All that feeling of being in ecstasy, traveling with gods, dying of ecstasy... compared to your life, none of it matters.
As a modern person, Xie Ling knows too well the dangers of these addictive drugs.
Once addicted, what follows is bankruptcy, separation from family, and destruction of families.
When the ban reached Zhou Wei, Wei Shengxuan was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. "How can this be absurd! How dare they arrest the vendors selling Wu Shi San?"
Wushisan has been saturated in Zhouwei, and there is an urgent need to open up the market in Beijiang.
Ji Wuwang's face also looked unhappy. "Although we have banned the circulation of goods in Beijiang, we have not abused the people of Beijiang."
Because they kill without mercy.
However, these people were so angry that they apparently forgot about this.
The angriest person was Gu Yuli, who created the Five-Stone Powder.
Tonghua City and Yaoshen Valley were both under his control. After the mine in Tonghua City was destroyed, he discovered another mine in Yunqin and produced Wu Shi San on a large scale.
During the Zhou Dynasty, the Gu family was in charge of the imperial hospital. He inherited his ancestors' medical skills and was not bad, but his greatest skill was in pharmacology. Wu Shi San was invented by him.
Gu Yuli said with sarcasm, "Oh, you said that the Five Stone Powder would shorten your lifespan? That's a joke. After taking the Five Stone Powder, you can travel freely in the nine heavens, talk with the gods, and then ascend to heaven. From then on, your physical body will be separated from the Great Dao. How can those ordinary people understand that?"
"It's so magical, why don't you eat it first?"
Zi Bin on the side said coldly.
Gu Yuli's face suddenly turned gloomy. "Zi Bing, I'm only giving you some face for the sake of the master and His Highness. Don't be ungrateful! Wu Shi San is a major source of Zhou Wei's finances! How can you say anything about it?"
After Zibing finished speaking, he felt a little regretful.
Zhou Weiguo now has millions of soldiers to support and is in urgent need of money. Wu Shi San is the fastest and most convenient way to make money.
He and Gu Yuli have never gotten along well, and sarcastic words came out of his mouth without his brain thinking.
He stiffened his neck, his face turned livid, and said coldly, "I am stupid."
Gu Yuli was not going to let him go, and sneered: "Before, your Tianjue assassin from Guangyao Palace caused chaos in Tonghua City and destroyed the mine.
I asked you to kill him, but you didn't. Now you've shot yourself in the foot, right? It's been almost three months, and the man hasn't been found yet!"
Speaking of this, Gu Yuli became angry. The mine in Tonghua City was so huge, but it was blown into ashes by Shiqi using some kind of magic, and it could no longer be mined.
It's more painful than digging a hole in his heart!
At the beginning, when he didn't know who the person who blew up the mine was, he planned to find the Tianjue killer from Guangyao Palace to cut that person into pieces.
But he didn't expect that the person who blew up his mine was actually one of his own people, the killer Tianjue!
Gu Yuli was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, but his son insisted on saving Shiqi.
Over the years, he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep whenever he thought about the loss of his mine.
Wei Shengxuan saw that the two were about to quarrel again, and said in a dignified voice: "What are you quarreling about? You are all Zhou Wei's right-hand men, but instead of thinking about doing practical things for Zhou Wei, you are nagging and fussing. How can this be acceptable!"
