The billionaire girl: Daddy and Mommy, love me again
Chapter 554 Opium
Cheng Xingwan keenly smelled the unusual smell in the air.
This scene is a bit similar to the legendary opium.
Thinking of this, alarm bells suddenly rang in her heart.
She hurriedly carried Jinnian back to the house, and under the pretext of asking for advice, she asked someone to call Cheng Dafu and Old Man Cheng to her yard.
As soon as they entered the door, she reached out and took their pipes.
I picked up a little and put it to the tip of my nose and sniffed it, then I couldn't help sneezing.
As she expected, this was not tobacco at all, but opium, the drug that brought disaster to the country and the people.
"Where did this thing come from?"
At this moment, she had a cold face and an extremely serious expression.
Even though Cheng Dafu and Old Man Cheng were her elders, they couldn't help but feel frightened when they saw her like this.
"Didn't I send your brother Weizi to Qiannan a while ago to help find out about the Wu family?
He came back yesterday and brought me this thing, saying that people over there smoke this thing and it has the effects of calming the nerves, promoting sleep, relieving pain, stopping diarrhea, relieving cough, and forgetting worries.
I smoked a little and found it really good. I have been busy lately and always suffer from insomnia at night. After smoking this opium last night, I had a rare good sleep.
I thought I couldn't eat it all alone, so I gave some to your grandfather and your second grandfather.
Unexpectedly, the group of old guys also came running over after smelling the scent.
What's the matter? I can't smoke this cigarette. What's the problem? This little bit of tobacco cost me 100 taels, it's not cheap."
Cheng Dafu glanced at Cheng Xingwan cautiously, and looked at the half bag of opium in her hand. Somehow, he felt an itch in his throat.
"Grandpa, why didn't you tell me that you couldn't sleep? Aren't my pills better than this opium?
Smoking is harmful to the heart and lungs, and this is not just ordinary tobacco, it is poison!"
Cheng Xingwan just felt tired. From what Cheng Dafu said, he knew that this thing had spread throughout Qiannan and was gradually spreading to the surrounding areas.
If it is not controlled and allowed to develop further, Dayan will be in danger.
As a well-versed history student in her previous life, she was particularly impressed by the consequences of the "Opium War" that destroyed a country.
"If all its people are sick, how can its country not be a sick country?"
Sick Man of East Asia!
It's harsh, but vivid.
The people and soldiers of the entire country submitted to death and were slaughtered at will.
"When the addiction comes, the person will burst into tears and his hands and feet will become so weak that he can't even move."
"Even if sharp blades were thrust in front of him, or tigers and leopards were pressing in from behind, he would still bow his head and accept death, without being able to move even a little."
The same situation also occurred among the officers and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty. Before the Opium War, officers and soldiers who were addicted to drugs could not light a fire or smoke opium on rainy days, so they would have runny noses and tears and were unable to go into battle.
After the Opium War, the Qing government liberalized opium cultivation and achieved the goal of “using local products to control foreign products.”
Under the military coercion of the British and French allied forces, the Qing government completely legalized the cultivation, trafficking and smoking of opium.
In the face of economic interests, the future of the country and the safety of the people seem insignificant.
After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, during the Republic of China period, the drug disaster in China became even more serious.
Poppy flowers bloomed all over China, so much so that foreigners called China at that time the "Poppy Kingdom" and poppy flowers the national flower.
At that time, the number of drug addicts in the country reached a staggering 8000 million, accounting for one-sixth of the total population.
In addition, the lives and livelihoods of more than half of the country's population are dependent on drugs to varying degrees.
During the hundred years since opium entered the country and ravaged the country, famine has always plagued and tormented the people, regardless of whether it was a good year or a bad year.
Because the economic benefits it brought were huge, people gave up growing grain and switched to growing poppies.
This led to severe food shortages, and when drought came, unprecedented famine broke out across the country.
The "Dingwu Great Famine" caused 1300 million people to starve to death.
Taiyuan Prefecture was the worst hit, with a population of 100 million and 95 deaths.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese invaders implemented a poisoning policy in the occupied areas in the name of banning smoking.
Poisoning the Chinese people physically and mentally while squeezing out huge profits.
In order to make the Chinese people take drugs, the Japanese invaders used all means to spread drugs.
Even babies as young as two or three can become addicted.
Due to their sinister intentions, tens of millions of people have become useless people who are three parts human and seven parts ghosts.
They became slaves of a conquered nation, waiting to be killed.
The money earned by poisoning the Chinese people soon turned into bullets hitting them.
What is even more frightening is that there are so many people working in the drug industry, drug manufacturers and traffickers do not consider it a crime, and drug users do not feel ashamed of it, but instead take pride in it.
Drugs have become a major chronic disease that plagues the entire Chinese nation.
It seems that it can never be completely banned.
Fortunately, history finally came to 1949, the dawn appeared, the sky gradually brightened, and the Chinese people stood up.
Even though New China was in a state of disrepair, it still resolutely launched the war on drugs, vigorously promoted the anti-drug campaign, and achieved huge success.
Even today, in the prosperous 21st century, drugs have not been completely eradicated, and countless anti-drug police officers have fallen on the anti-drug front.
It is sad that this war on drugs has become even longer due to the betrayal of fellow fighters.
The legalization of drugs in foreign countries, the failure of global drug control, and the advocacy of legalized drug use have made them want to drag the entire world down with them.
China's 1.4 billion people are a huge market that international drug traffickers are eyeing.
Drugs from abroad are constantly infiltrating, and if we relax even a little, they will come back at any time.
In order to prevent tragedy from happening, Dayan must work hard to tear out a piece of light in the darkness before drugs spread.
Drug control is the bottom line that every Chinese citizen should adhere to.
This road is long and arduous.
Cheng Xingwan, who was well aware of the harm of drugs, looked at the half bag of opium in her hand and felt that the burden on her shoulders was as heavy as a thousand pounds, which made her heart heavy.
"It's... it's poisonous. That can't be possible. I smoked it yesterday and I didn't feel poisoned anywhere..."
When he heard that it was poisonous, Cheng Dafu's eyes almost popped out, but his eyes were still fixed on the opium in her hand, with a look of desire on his face.
“This tobacco, also known as opium, was originally used as a medicine. After long-term use, it will cause drug dependence.
After taking opium, people may feel a sense of euphoria, become unable to concentrate, and experience hallucinations, leading to a high degree of psychological and physiological dependence.
Once you stop taking it, you will crave the drug extremely, feel restless, have tears, runny nose, sweat, become incontinent, and become irritable.
Over time, the user will become emaciated, feel drowsy all day, anxious, have a hideous look on his face, and be powerless, and in severe cases, die.
And you also know that opium is expensive. If everyone becomes addicted to this drug, the entire Dayan will be dragged into an abyss of no return.
Those who have no money will burn, kill, loot, sell their wives and children, turn into demons, and do all kinds of evil in order to take drugs.
If at this time, foreign enemies invade.
Faced with internal and external troubles, Dayan will have no power to fight back.
The fall of a country and the ruin of a family can happen in just a day or two.
Today, the sound of the country's demise is still ringing, and we should keep ourselves clean, set an example, and be a role model for the people! "
