Controversy that arose in the court when opium spread in the Qing Dynasty

At that time, the Blue House was troubled by opium distributed by Britain through trafficking

To summarize the problems caused by the distribution of opium

Even the disciplined bureaucrats of the 1st country are inhaled

Tariffs failed because it was trafficked

3 The outflow of silver, which was the key currency for opium

4 The bankruptcy of salt merchants who paid taxes in silver worsens the national finances as silver becomes more expensive

I think it’s about this much

This could not have been the only problem caused by drugs, so the situation was very serious

Even within the Qing Dynasty, this problem should be resolved, but opinions are divided on the methodology

to divide according to the issue, so-called

theory of control

“Gwa”

strict prohibition

That’s what it’s like

The legalization of opium trade, receiving customs duties, insisted on banning opium intake by soldiers and aristocrats to pay for poppy cultivation opium in Korea instead of silver

Many of the officials who were familiar with the addictive nature of opium were supporting this claim because they also smoked

At the time, Lim Chukseo

in one’s insistence on

in a nutshell

Death penalty for an opium seller over a grace period”

claimed [Laughing]

Of course, the controlists protested, citing realistic reasons

Lim Chiseo said, “

The Emperor, the parents of the people, told his children to do opium business

He pushed ahead with the logic, and eventually the emperor accepted Lim Chik-seo’s strict prohibition theory

Im Chik-seo became the minister of full power of the royal court, and was dispatched to Guangdong, a hotbed of opium trafficking

of British merchants

confiscate and dispose of all opium

the sun set [Laughing]

In fact, British merchants knew the reality of the Qing Dynasty, which was a hotbed of corruption

When I was first asked to confiscate opium, I thought Lim would take it, sell it, bribe it, and give it back

Im Chiseo threw it away in broad daylight, and I was dumbfounded

Lim Chiseo was supported by the people

So the conclusion is

Britain’s “infringement of private property”

Give me the Qing Dynasty and legalize the opium trade. LOL
