Da Ming started to ascend the throne

This is not because the quality of tobacco soil has declined, but mainly because Britain has developed India as a new soil plantation area.

Among them, the logistics cost and planting pressure are greatly reduced, so the price of the whole market will naturally come down.

Many ordinary people can also afford to buy things that were relatively expensive before.

If it hadn't been for the British planting tobacco soil in their colonies and then selling it to our country, the tobacco soil would not have spread so profusely in the Qing Dynasty.

This news is really important to Zhu Youjian, and it also made Zhu Youjian feel a little scared, and he couldn't help shouting secretly:

"Holy shit, this thing must not be allowed to spread in Daming, otherwise the people will fall into a catastrophe just as soon as their stomachs are full."

After Zhu Youjian was secretly surprised, he said to Baihu:

"Baihu, once you discover this kind of thing, you must report it to me immediately, otherwise the world will be in chaos. Go and find out the source of the smoke and soil for me."

Seeing the serious expression on the emperor's face, Bai Hu knew that he had neglected his duty, and hurriedly pleaded guilty to Zhu Youjian:

"Abiding by the decree, my minister will die, please be punished by Your Majesty."

"Forget it, it's not an example."

"Thank you, Your Majesty Long En, and I will retire."

There is no doubt about Baihu's loyalty, he is summoned by the system, and he will never be half-hearted, mainly because he doesn't understand how powerful this thing is.

After Baihu left the Qianqing Palace, he immediately sent people to investigate the source of the smoke.

Zhu Youjian had something on his mind, so he wanted to solve it immediately, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

"Come here, tell me that the Sixth Ministry of the Cabinet and the Minister of Honglu Temple will meet me."

"According to the purpose"

So he asked the little eunuch to go to the Sixth Department of the Cabinet and the Minister of Honglu Temple to see him.

This is the first time for Honglu Siqing to enter the Qianqing Palace.

The emperor had never summoned him, a little Honglu temple minister, before.

This is also related to the diplomatic situation in the late Ming Dynasty. At that time, there were not many vassal states in the Ming Dynasty.

There is a large team of domestic problems, so how can I care about foreign affairs.

Chapter 407 No Smoking

After receiving the emperor's oral order, the Sixth Ministry of the Cabinet and the Minister of Honglu Temple hurried to the Qianqing Palace.

As always, Zhu Youjian still summoned the ministers in the imperial study.

After everyone entered the imperial study room, they immediately stepped forward to salute:

"Weichen see Your Majesty."

Zhu Youjian nodded slightly:

"Dear dear ministers, please give me your seat without courtesy!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty Ron!"

After thanking you, the ministers carefully sat down on the chair with half of their buttocks.

They dare not sit down because they have to get up at any time to answer questions.

Sun Chuanting's ability is indeed much stronger than that of Li Banghua. After he took office as the chief assistant of the Ming cabinet, in addition to resolutely implementing the emperor's will, he also had some of his own national governance plans.

Not only is he honest and self-disciplined, but he also strictly requires all officials and local officials to lead by example, to make his own contributions to the people and to Ming Dynasty, and let Daming embark on the road of rapid development.

After everyone was seated, Zhu Youjian was still thinking about the problem and didn't speak for a while.

Sun Chuanting cupped his hands and asked:

"Your Majesty, I don't know what order you have for summoning the ministers and other officials?"

Sun Chuanting's questioning brought Zhu Youjian back from his thoughts, and his expression gradually became serious.

With the change of Zhu Youjian's expression, the air in the entire imperial study room began to freeze, and several ministers felt a little trembling all over.

Zhu Youjian glanced over their faces one by one before slowly opening his mouth:

"Are there any smokers among you? Tell me the truth."

Hearing the emperor's words, the ministers felt a little more relaxed. It turned out that it was not because they did something wrong that the emperor was angry.

Sun Chuanting clapped his hands and reported:

"Your Majesty, I don't have that hobby, and I don't know if anyone among my colleagues smokes."

Then all the officials at the scene stated that none of them smoked tobacco.

This made Zhu Youjian's face turn from cloudy to clear. It turned out that the smoke and soil had not corroded the main officials of the DPRK and China.

A moment later, Liu Lishun, Minister of Honghe Temple, bowed to salute:

"Your Majesty, as far as I know, there are still some smokers in the court, because Daming has no regulations prohibiting smoking tobacco, so they are not considered to be violating the rules."

Of course Zhu Youjian knew what Liu Lishun said. He nodded and said seriously:

"As for tobacco, I will not ban it, but tobacco is not acceptable. It must be strictly prohibited, and no one can get involved."

"The imperial court will issue a decree as soon as possible. All tobacco trading and smoking are prohibited in the Ming Dynasty. Anyone who violates it will be severely punished."

"If anyone engages in the tobacco business, including officials, nobles, vassals, and gentry, all benefits will be cut off and beheaded for public display."

Common people Shanggu generals, soldiers, etc., if they are involved in the sale of tobacco and soil, they will be executed without mercy. "

"From the date of the promulgation of the decree, the official smokers will reduce the officials to the people, the nobles and vassal kings will cancel their titles and lands, and the gentry and common people will take back their land."

"Da Ming will never give Yantu any room to live. After you go back today, you will immediately draft a decree, and the ban on smoking will be issued within three days."

…………

"hiss……"

Zhu Youjian's words made Daming's important officials gasp.

The ministers didn't understand what it mattered to smoke some tobacco, as long as they had money, the court didn't have to care about them at all.

Anyway, those who smoke tobacco are either rich or expensive, and they don't care about the money at all because they have a lot of money.
