I watched Er Chuang’s short video, and everything went numb!

[In addition to the harmfulness of the ingredients, the way of eating Khat itself is also extremely harmful to the body. ]

[Choose freshly picked Khat leaves and twigs and stuff them into your mouth, then chew them in big mouthfuls, and then continue to swallow the chewed plant juice until the big mouthful of leaf essence is "absorbed" completely, and then spit out the khat leaf residue like sugarcane residue. ]

[This process takes 3 to 4 hours each time. Most people are not satisfied with this one bite. After spitting out the residue, they will quickly take out another handful and put it in their mouths and continue to chew. ]

[During this process, a "big bump" will bulge on one side of the smoker's cheek. 】

【At the same time, mechanical continuous chewing also causes serious damage to the oral mucosa and teeth, and leads to gingivitis, periodontitis, tooth discoloration, temporomandibular joint disease, dry mouth and other oral diseases, and eventually all the teeth become caries and fall off. 】

……

Accompanied by narration subtitles.

The video of the people of Yemeng chewing khat grass was inserted into the high-altitude giant screen.

Many ancient people from all dynasties looked at this scene and felt very weird.

Thinking of the great harm of chewing khat grass mentioned by people in later generations, I can't help but shudder in my heart.

This is taking life to satisfy the desire for food.

"Do these people know that this khat grass has such a great harm?"

Many ancient people were curious.

They think most of them don't know.

No matter how stupid a person is, he should not care about his life and death just to eat something.

……

[This thing is not as harmful as betel nut in causing oral cancer, but betel nut has one good thing, chewing it will not delay your work. ]

[Khat is different. You can't chew it while working. Users are more like customers in the opium dens in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, half lying down to smoke, basically wasting half a day's work. ]

Barrage flew out:

"The harm of khat to the mouth is also caused by betel nut, and more importantly, betel nut is carcinogenic. Chewing it too much may cause cancer."

"Haha, betel nut is a carcinogen, learn about oral cancer."

"Chewing betel nut will speed up your heart rate, so you can't chew it when doing heavy work."

"The harm of betel nut is no less than that of khat, and it is even more carcinogenic."

"..."

Many ancient people from all dynasties were stunned by the content of these barrages.

Why?

Because the history of chewing betel nut is also long in ancient China.

It is said that as early as the Qin Dynasty, many people in the southern region had the habit of chewing betel nut.

And the earliest appearance of betel nut in written form was in the Han Dynasty.

The ancient geographical book "Sanfu Huangtu" records that Emperor Wu of Han transplanted longan, lychee, betel nut and other southern trees. It is said that Emperor Wu of Han built the "Fu Li Palace" in Shanglinyuan and planted many exotic flowers and trees in the south.In the palace, betel nut was inside.

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, people's understanding of betel nut gradually deepened, and chewing betel nut gradually became popular, especially in the Southern Dynasty at that time, chewing betel nut was even more popular.

Not only ordinary people like to chew, but also dignitaries like to chew.

Therefore, many people like to chew betel nut in all dynasties since then.

So after hearing the huge harm of chewing betel nut, these ancients were naturally terrified.

What is cancer? They have learned about it in previous videos.

In the future when medical technology is so powerful, it is an incurable terminal illness!

Thinking of this.

Many ancient people suddenly felt that the betel nut in their hands was not delicious.

……

Northern Song Dynasty plane.

Su Shi looked at the betel nut on his table and finally made up his mind not to chew it anymore.

He fell in love with chewing betel nut when he was exiled to Lingnan. He once wrote in "Eating Betel Nut": "It tastes slightly sweet when you inhale the saliva, but it is bitter when it touches your teeth. The face is too stern, and the taste is extremely charming." This shows his love for betel nut.

But he loved it, and since he knew that it was so harmful, he naturally didn't dare to eat it again.

In the same plane, Qin Guan, Huang Tingjian, Chao Buzhi, Zhang Lei and other people who also loved to eat betel nut also made the same decision as Su Shi.

Not only that.

In other dynasties, Liu Muzhi and many other people who liked to chew betel nut were also deeply shocked and suddenly felt that betel nut was not fragrant.

……

[And the khat grass, which is so harmful, is extremely popular in Yemeng. 】

【According to statistics from the International Narcotics Control Bureau, more than 80% of adult men and 50% of adult women in Yemeng have developed the habit of chewing khat on a daily basis, which can be said to be a national addiction. 】

【Whether in the bustling CBD commercial street in the capital or in the remote and wild tribal villages, after lunch and dinner every day, there will be a group of people lying on the roadside. Everyone does not check their phones or chat, but just stuffs piles of khat into their mouths desperately. 】

【They are all in a trance, as if they have fallen into a maze. The entire Yemeng is stagnant at that moment. No matter how big the matter is, it is difficult for them to wake up. 】

【For the people of Yemeng, chewing khat is equivalent to eating, drinking, defecating, urinating and sleeping in daily life, but the price of this "daily necessity" is shockingly high. 】

[In Yemeng, a bundle of freshly picked high-quality Chat grass is sold for 200 dragon coins, and inferior ones are no less than 100 yuan. 】

[A bundle of Chat grass may seem to be a lot, but it is very chewy and can only be used for two or three days. If you send it to entertain relatives and friends, it will basically be gone in half a day. 】

[Such consumption leads to extremely high costs for chewing grass. 】

[Even for the working class in a moderately developed country, it is a huge expense, not to mention a country as poor as Yemeng. 】

……

The plane of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin's eyes were full of thought.

HeA serious problem for Yemeng was discovered.

The high price of Khat, the large consumption, and the good sales mean that planting Khat can bring huge profits.

In this way, farmers will definitely use a large amount of land to plant Khat.

That means that the land for growing grain will be greatly reduced, affecting the grain output of Yemeng.

And.

This Khat is a drug. Only Yemeng people like to smoke it, which makes it impossible to generate other benefits, such as selling it to other countries to make money.

In other words, planting Khat is purely consuming Yemeng's national strength.

"This thing is endless harm."

Li Shimin shook his head.

If he were the supreme leader of Yemeng, he would definitely ban the planting and smoking of Khat.

……

[Of the nearly 30 million people in Yemeng, 20 million live below the poverty line, and 5 million of them are just one step away from starving to death. ]

[What's weird is that even at this point, the people of Yemeng still scrape out the last penny from their teeth to buy khat grass to chew. ]

[They call this a "cultural tradition" since ancient times, because since the 13th century AD, the people of Yemeng have started chewing khat grass and have passed it down from generation to generation. ]

[After five or six hundred years of development, the grass chewing culture of Yemeng has penetrated into the bones. ]

……

The plane of Taizu of the Great Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head slightly.

He probably knew why Yemeng was so poor despite its precious land.

Chewing this poisonous grass not only harms people's health, but also takes up a lot of time.

For a country to develop, it must have sufficient healthy labor.

Almost all the people in Yemeng chew this poisonous grass, so who will contribute to the development of the country?

Can we build a good country by relying on these people who chew poisonous grass every day and may not be able to keep their minds clear?

Obviously impossible.

Thinking of this.

A trace of doubt emerged in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart:

"Faced with this situation, will the Yemeng government not care?"

Well, what Zhu didn't know was that Yemeng had its own national conditions.

……

[From national leaders to the poor, everyone in Yemeng regards chewing khat as a daily necessity. ]

[If they can bring a bundle of khat to visit relatives during festivals, it is an expression of extreme respect for them. 】

[Faced with the current situation of the whole country smoking Khat, the choice of the Yemeng government is to "take me with you" and take chewing Khat as a matter of course. 】

[High-level officials chew Khat even when discussing national affairs. 】

[Some government departments in Yemeng even stipulate that the working hours are from 8 am to 2 pm, because this way they have enough time to get together and chew Khat. 】

……

"This..."

Many ancient people in the past dynasties could not understand the Yemeng government'sThey were shocked by what they did.

The plane of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Di also shook his head speechlessly.

With such a government, it is surprising that the country of Yemeng can develop well.

……

[The upper class follows the lower class, and the majority of Yemeng citizens naturally believe that chewing khat grass is harmless and is just a folk culture. ]

[As a result, everyone chews more happily. Some people have an average daily income of only about US$1, and they have to save money and save a little to buy khat grass. The more they buy, the poorer they become, and the poorer they become, the more they buy, forming a vicious cycle that is difficult to get rid of. ]

[People from all walks of life in Yemeng spend a lot of time and money on chewing khat grass. It’s a miracle that productivity can be improved. ]

[The national economy naturally cannot develop and becomes increasingly poor. 】

[Even when fighting, the armed personnel of Yemeng, regardless of political factions, all hold AK in one hand and Khat in the other. 】

[During the intervals of war, both sides will tacitly choose a time to stop fighting and chew Khat grass, and then continue to fight after chewing. 】(To read the exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

……

"Ah this..."

The ancient people of all dynasties were shocked again.

They just felt that this situation was too magical.

This so-called Khat grass really completely controlled the country of Yemeng, making the Yemeng people unable to extricate themselves. []

No wonder people in later generations would say that a grass destroyed a country.

The situation in Yemeng is indeed like this.

……

[Due to the huge demand for Khat grass by the Yemeng people, the majority of farmers gave up the planting of crops such as grain, coffee, and cotton in order to pursue huge profits. 】

【Originally, Yemen produced high-quality cash crops such as cotton and coffee, which could be exported every year to earn foreign exchange. 】

【But now, Khat, which has taken over the magpie's nest, is not welcomed outside the Yemen League. Only the "internal circulation" has caused the Yemen League's foreign exchange income to plummet, and it is unable to import enough food and other necessities of life. 】

【In addition, Khat also seriously erodes the land. Once a piece of land is planted with Khat, no other crops can be planted. 】

……

"It will be like this."

In the dimension of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Min was not surprised at all.

Most people are profit-seeking. Based on the interests of human nature, this situation will definitely occur.

……

【What is more fatal is that Khat has a huge demand for water. At present, more than 40% of the agricultural water used in the Yemen League is used to irrigate Khat, making Yemen's extremely limited groundwater resources even more stretched. 】

【According to the World Bank's survey results, if these practical problems are not solved, Yemeng's water resources will be exhausted in 2025, becoming the first country in the world to be depleted of water resources. 】

……

Many ancient people in the past dynasties were shocked.

A country without water, thisHow to survive?

It's so scary!

……

[Faced with the bleak prospect of the country's demise, the Yemeng people have long been calm. ]

[There is nothing that chewing a handful of khat can't solve. If there is, chew two handfuls. Eating can fill your stomach, but if it can't lift your spirits, what's the point of living? ]

[This is the ultimate manifestation of a whole nation's rottenness. Even at the moment of death due to hunger and lack of water, they still refuse to repent. ]

[Drugs dressed in the guise of traditional culture are so powerful. ]

The barrage flew out:

"I can only say respect and blessings!"

"It's hard to comment on the behavior of the Yemeng people. I wish them good luck."

"……"

Watch the entire video.

Many ancient people in all dynasties have an idea in their hearts.

This country called Yemeng is probably hopeless.

Even though they are so poor, they still refuse to give up khat grass. It can only be said that they have brought it upon themselves.

At the same time.

Many ancient people were still filled with emotion.

I didn’t expect that a seemingly insignificant grass could cause such great harm.

The world is so big that nothing can be found.

……

On the giant screen in the sky.

The video is refreshed.

A new video appears.

[Magic major, ghost catching major, ninja major…What are the magical university majors in the world? Why didn’t I have a choice when I was studying? ]

……

Looking at this line of big words on the giant screen in the sky.

Many ancient people in all dynasties were stunned.

What is a university in the future? They all know that it is a place for cultivating talents in the future.

But what do these "magic major", "ghost catching major" and "ninja major" mean?

Why does it feel so strange?

Especially the "magic major", many ancient people were puzzled.

Because "ghost catching" is understandable as the name suggests.

As for "ninja", some ancient people who often dealt with Japanese people in the Ming and Qing dynasties also heard a little about it.

Only this "magic" is really unknown to the ancient people of various dynasties.

So.

With a puzzled look.

The ancient people continued to focus on the giant screen in the sky.

……

[A while ago, the University of Exeter in the country where the sun never sets announced that it would open a master's program called "Magic and Mystical Science" and would accept the first batch of students in September next year. ]

[This news not only caused a sensation in the country where the sun never sets, but also shocked the world. 】

[After all, just looking at the name of the major, you might think of learning to chant spells in school: today, "Expelliarmus"! Tomorrow, "Avada Kedavra". 】

[When you go to school, you might even have to take a mysterious train at the station that Muggles can't see. 】

[It's exciting just to think about it! 】

……

Accompanied by narration subtitles.

A mixed clip of a film and television drama was inserted and played on the giant screen in the sky.

A magical train, a magician flying in the air on a broom, various cool magic attacks...

Looking at these images on the giant screen.

Many ancient people from all dynasties were stunned.

"Wow, this train is so magical, it can be invisible, and it is still entered like this!"

"Is this magic? So beautiful!"

"Too powerful! The attack power is so strong!"

"Hiss! It can actually fly in the sky!"

Many ancient people kept exclaiming in their hearts.

At this time, these magics in their hearts are just like immortal arts.

...

The plane of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Zhanji's eyes were full of brilliance.

He thought these magicians and magic were very cool.

"Interesting! Really interesting!"

At this moment, Zhu Zhanji wanted to become a magician who could fly in the sky and chant spells to cast magic.

Compared to Zhu Zhanji's excitement, Zhu Di on the side was very calm.

Because he had already seen that the images on the giant screen were what later generations called film and television images, not real records.

But...

In the later generations of the Sun Never Sets Country, there was actually a university that opened a "magic major", which was unusual.

Is there really someone in the Sun Never Sets Country who knows "magic"?

Is there really a "supernatural power" in the world?

Thinking of this, Zhu Di was a little shocked.

...

[A serious university publicly teaches magic. In a sense, it seems to be an official announcement that there is a "supernatural power" in the world. 】

[Is there really another side to this world? 】

...

For this question.

Many ancient people from all dynasties were also very interested.

So they all stared at the giant screen in the sky, eager to know the answer. .
