How did Lin Zexu sell cigarettes What method did Lin Zexu use to sell cigarettes

Salt is used as a dehydrating agent to remove the water mist in the smoke.

Mr. Lin Zexu used the heat released by the reaction of quicklime and water in the Humen cigarette to destroy opium!!

The product of quicklime reaction with water is commonly known as is"Hydrated lime", so as to release the heat to destroy opium, salt as a dehydrating agent, to remove the water mist in the tobacco, environmentally friendly and non-toxic.

There are many ways to say it. Some say that it was burned and let him flow into the sea.

It is first cooked in raw ash water, dried for a few days, and finally burned.

<> Lin Zexu used seawater immersion to sell cigarettes. Lin Zexu originally wanted to transport the opium back to Jingshi to be destroyed, but Yushi Deng Ying thought that in order to prevent the opium from being secretly replaced, it would be better to destroy it on the spot, and Emperor Daoguang agreed. Lin Zexu decided to sell cigarettes openly in Humen, and then Lin Zexu had to find a way to destroy opium.

Lin Zexu once used the traditional "tobacco soil mixed with tung oil incineration method" to destroy opium, but the residue of the paste would seep into the ground, and drug addicts would dig into the ground to extract soil, and still get two or three out of ten. So Lin Zexu found the second method, "seawater immersion method". The method of seawater immersion method is to dig two pools by the sea, and the bottom of the pools is paved with stones, in order to prevent opium leakage, nail boards around it, and then dig a ditch.

Pour the salt water into the gutter. Then cut the tobacco into four petals, pour in salt water, soak for half a day, and then put in lime, the lime will boil when it encounters water, and the tobacco will dissolve. The soldiers kept stirring in the pool with wooden rakes until the tobacco was completely dissolved into the water.

When the tide is low, the pool water is sent out of the ocean and the bottom of the pool is washed with clean water without leaving a trickle.

At first, Lin Zexu wanted to use the traditional method of "tobacco soil mixed with tung oil incineration method". That is, tung oil mixed with opium smoke paste and then set on fire, but experiments have proved that this method cannot completely destroy opium, and some opium will seep into the soil during the incineration process.

Lin Zexu then used the "seawater immersion method". This method was obtained by Lin Zexu through in-depth understanding and investigation among the people, and after repeated verification. Before starting to destroy the opium, he ordered people to build two ponds on the beach of Humen.

The stone was laid under the bottom of the pool, and the four walls were piled and nailed with planks. Then dig a culvert ditch on the riverside side of the pool. When destroying and destroying opium, open the sluice gate of the pond to bring in river water, close the sluice gate and sprinkle salt brine, and then put the pre-chopped opium into the pool and soak it for half a day.
