Chapter 379 How much we have suffered less

"How to put it this way, if this thing is made into cigarettes and smoked, people will be poisoned, and they will be in a trance all day long. People will have auditory hallucinations and visual hallucinations if they smoke regularly. Selling children and selling daughters, ruining the family property, even murdering people for money, smoking for a long time, there is no way to heal the marsh, and if you take too much, you will convulse and die directly.”

Yuan Jiaqi's face was startled, and he immediately got out of the car and called to the convoy to stop. He got out of the car and went to the field beside the road to check.

The emperor and empress also got out of the car and went with him.

The Yuan family pulled a poppy together, "Emperor, this is a harmful thing"

So he repeated what Qiao Mai said, and the emperor looked at the vast area, "It seems that Luzhou City is not stable."

"Prepare early, Your Majesty, if this kind of flower is planted and spread in the Ming Dynasty, our national power will become weaker and weaker in the future, and the common people want to take a bite"

"I have brought ten Golden Dragon Guards, and when we arrive in Luzhou, we will send them to investigate."

Yuan Jiaqi came to Qiao Mai with poppies, "Lady, the person who grows this must have made smoke flakes and sold them in a secret place?"

"Not necessarily, so blatantly planted on both sides of the official road, there must be surprises waiting for us in Luzhou City."

It’s September, and the weather is still so hot, it seems that this is the southernmost point of the south.

Along the way, they found several places where poppies were grown, and they entered Luzhou City in silence without saying anything.

We stayed at the best welcome inn in the city, arranged a salute, took a shower when we were comfortable, and everyone had a good night's rest.

It was a clear morning in the south. Qiao Mai got up early and opened the window. The wind blowing outside was not cool, but mixed with hot flashes.

Looking back at Yuan Jiaqi who was still sleeping soundly, she leaned against the window and looked down.

Some food stalls on the street outside have started to set up, and some shops have also opened their doors. The first thing many people do after they come out is to stretch their waists and breathe out.

She felt that such a scene was really beautiful, but it was a pity that it was broken by a few dangling figures after a while.

They breathed heavily, took a step and swayed three times, some fell down and got up again, without any energy. This state should be smoking opium.

It seems that in this city of Luzhou, smoking marijuana is open and no one cares.

Just as she was frowning, a woman ran from a distance, threw herself on a man and began to cry.

"Father, you smoked that thing again, do you still want this family?"

"Get out, I like that you don't care, and I didn't spend your money"

"But you also have to think about your children"

The man looked around and kicked the woman. Unfortunately, he didn't have any strength in his body. He wanted to kick the woman, but he fell to the ground unexpectedly.

But the woman seemed to accept her fate, and even stepped forward to help him. Qiu Mai shook his head when he saw this.

Poor people must have something to hate, such a man will sooner or later wipe out the house, instead of doing this, why not plan to get up early, if it is her, help him? It's a good thing not to kick him to death.

After a while, the sound of hawking woke up all the sleeping people.

The servants waited for the master to wash up, and then went outside to buy breakfast, and the four little girls followed behind them.

I don’t want to eat when I look at this, and I don’t want to eat when I look at that. It’s too hot, and I feel chest tightness even when I take a breath.

They only bought food for the two masters, and when they came back to set the meal, Qiao Mai looked at them and asked.

"Xiao Yu, you haven't eaten?"

"It's too hot, I didn't feed him"

"Go and buy a few bowls of cold noodles,"

"It is said to be cold noodles, but they are not cold at all"

"I have a way to cool 'em"

The eyes of the four girls lit up. How could they have forgotten such a great ability of their master? What can they eat?

Happily, she went outside to buy a few bowls of noodles and came back. Qiao Mai had already made a large basin of ice, and she poured the noodles into the ice for a while before filling it out.

"Eat, go out, eat if you don't like to eat, drink plenty of water, or you will get sick easily"

A few girls will feel refreshed after eating a bowl of cold noodles with the master.

"It's really hot in the south. The few of us bought food with them, but we've never seen anyone selling ice. It's better in the north. Even if the capital doesn't freeze in winter, it's close to the north and you can see ice. But here, I can't see it"

"Who is it, this is it, if you want to eat cold, just hum"

"Haha, we also want to eat cold"

The old emperor took the queen's hand and walked in. They had already eaten, but the weather was so hot that they couldn't stand it.

Qiao Mai turned his hand, and there were many bottles of drinks on the table, all of which were taken out of the freezer.

The girls each took a bottle and went out. The emperor and the empress were not polite to sit down, so they opened the lid and drank.

"With you following, how much less suffering have we suffered? It's so hot outside, I really don't want to go out"

Qiao Mai glanced at the emperor, "You are the one who came out, and you are the one who disliked it, or let's go back?"

"Forget it, it's all out, no matter what you have to go around."

"Then let's go?"

"Let's go, let's go, by the way, didn't you mean to get a sightseeing car, why don't you take a car on such a hot day? Huh?"

Seeing the pitiful look of the old emperor, Qiao Mai led them to a remote place, and with a wave of his hand, a sightseeing car with a covered roof appeared in front of him.

The car was one meter high with several seats on it. Qiao Mai asked Xianggong to go back to the inn to bring Dongzao and Dragon Blood.

When the car is set up, there is no need for a coachman. Tie Xue and Dongzao can understand the human language, and when to walk slowly and when to run fast, it is as if there is a coachman driving.

As soon as the old emperor and empress got into the car, they immediately shouted in surprise.

"Wow, is there ice in this car? So cool?"

"Stop nagging, just sit down"

Yuan Jiaqi carried Qiao Mai into the car and sat in it himself, he said to Dongzao and Tie Xue.

"Come on, slow down,"

The horse started to walk, and the speed was only a little faster than walking. The emperor was very satisfied, not to mention that it was cool to sit in the car, and he didn't need to walk. In this way, he could finish shopping in Luzhou City in three days.

So happy, he got carried away, and kept giving Qiao Mai advice.

"There should be a table in this car, we can eat and drink on it,"

Qiao Mai glanced at him, and with a hand from one side, a simple table was propped up, and the emperor's eyes widened.

"Haha, great, let's see what to eat later, we can put it on the table to eat when we buy it,"

The queen poked the emperor with her arm, "My mother-in-law is staring at you, stop talking about it"

"Hey Hey,"

This car is really fresh, the horses drive the car all the way, and the return rate is 100%.

The emperor was in high spirits, and bought rare fruits and snacks when he saw it, but Yubao didn't follow, and they were all paid by Yuan's family.

This Luzhou City is not worse than Liangzhou City. After all, this is the closest city to Nanguan, and it is also a trading fortress. It is very busy in the daytime.

Some tropical fruits are sold here, and the aquatic products in the sea are also very rich, especially the pearls here are very cheap.

Many jewelers sell pearls back to the mainland from here, and then sell them at a high price.

The queen and Qiao Mai each took a palace fan, fanned themselves, and looked at both sides of the street leisurely.

They look at the people, and the people look at them.

Booming, there was a burst of thunder, and people on the street began to run, looking for shelter from the rain.

At this moment, Dongzao and Tie Xue had already put on transparent raincoats, and a transparent raincloth was hanging from the roof of the car. They could still see the outside scenery in the car, and even separated the cold air in the car from the hot air outside. Turn it on, it's cooler.

The car is still moving forward slowly, the car stops crackling, and there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road.

All the scenery seemed to set off Qiao Mai's carriage, which was moving forward slowly.

Many people were watching from upstairs, and they were very interested in this group of people.
