1572. Troublesome people come out of poor mountains and bad waters
"We used to make a living by farming. The village chief was about seventy years old. We all called him Lao Meng. The village used to be very poor because it was backed by mountains and separated by the sea. It was a place where neither could rely on one another!"
Wen Ranran keenly grasped Hua Dian, "What does the two-independence zone mean?"
"There is a mountain behind. The land on the mountain is barren and not suitable for planting. However, you have to walk ten miles to go fishing, so neither farming nor fishing is very developed. Before, I could only sell some Youzhou products.
Specialties and the like, but there are a lot of rare woods here and they are exported every year, so most of them are hunters and carpenters."
"Haven't you ever thought about moving?"
Wen Ranran said strangely.
Ji Zirou shook her head, "People here believe in mountain gods. Well, it's the mountain outside the house when you came. It is said that there are treasures in the mountain, so every year many people go to mine, but they all come back empty-handed.
Until those Goguryeo people showed up!"
"Those people discovered that the land on this mountain was particularly suitable for a type of plant called opium poppy. Those people therefore became interested in the idea that *** was extracted from this type of plant called opium poppy! So they began to purchase it at a high price, and even
It is easy to cultivate, and the local residents also believed that the poppies were a gift from the mountains to them, so they cherished them very much and started planting them on a large scale in the mountains."
Overall, it's not easy to handle.
Ji Zirou's face tightened, and she said now, "If you want to investigate, except for absolute ***, it is impossible to change their minds from the root. Relocating the village is impossible..."
All in all, this matter is difficult to handle and cannot be suppressed with absolute force, otherwise it will even spread to the ears of surrounding people and cause unrest, and it will also affect the credibility of the court.
But you can't go door-to-door to check directly, because this kind of feudal superstition is the most undesirable.
Wen Ranran nodded her head, feeling a little melancholy.
Although it is a bit cliché to say that unruly people come out of poor mountains and poor waters, it is sometimes really used in special situations and is particularly appropriate, especially in today's situation.
"I have thought of some ways before, and the only way with the lowest loss is to let the people in the village voluntarily move out of the village, and then remove these things on a large scale." Ji Zirou also sighed, "But this is basically a bad idea.
It's possible. I opened a wine shop here and encountered a lot of problems. They are particularly repulsive to outsiders. If it weren't for a kind old couple who welcomed me in and lied that I was brought back by them.
My daughter, I’m afraid I won’t be able to settle here either.”
Ji Zirou sighed, feeling extremely melancholy.
"Where is that old couple?" Ye Junmeng, who had been listening, asked curiously.
"They left a long time ago. They never had children. I stayed here for three years. I was the one who took care of them until they died!"
On the side, Gu Yixi pursed her lips, also feeling a little distressed.
"Unless this thing is burned and removed on a large scale, as long as it exists, it is a hidden danger and will always be exploited by people with intentions! As for the so-called antidote, I will study it later. It would be great if it could be distributed over a large area.
but."..
Wen Ranran didn't speak any more, just thinking deeply.
"Because of long-term drug use, many men are thin old bachelors. If they can sit and make money, they will never stand. If you look like this, if the old bachelors in the village find out... I'm afraid...
They will come to rob people! This is why I asked you not to show your face!"
When Ye Junmeng heard this, she couldn't help but slap her thigh.
"What a joke! How can my aunt be afraid of them?! I can scare them to death if I transform!"
When Wen Ranran heard this, an idea flashed in her mind.
"Indeed... changing one's body can scare someone to death. To a certain extent, I may have a way!"
