先是，太常寺少卿許乃濟疏言，煙禁雖嚴，閉關不可，徒法不行，請仍用舊制納稅，以貨易貨，不得用銀購買，吸食罪名，專重官員、士子、兵丁，時皆謂非政體。 Earlier, Xu Naiji of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices had argued that strict prohibition was unworkable while the coast remained closed to trade, and proposed legalizing opium under the old tax system with barter instead of silver payment and heavier penalties only for officials, scholars, and soldiers—a plan widely condemned as improper.
