Ye Qing had spent many years enforcing drug laws on the border and was acutely aware of the situation with drugs.
When Ye Qing first arrived at the border, forces in the Golden Triangle were complex and intertwined, often leading to various kinds of turmoil. Drug traffickers, in their rush to make money quickly, would harvest the poppies as soon as they matured and immediately begin transport outwards. As a result, the drugs coming out of the production areas were mainly raw materials, distributed to various places for processing.
Later, a major shift occurred in the Golden Triangle when a drug lord named Kun Sha rose to power, swallowing up several major forces in the area to become the strongest Great General in the Golden Triangle. The region then settled down from the turmoil, allowing traffickers to safely process the poppies into semi-finished or finished products before transport, thereby earning more money.
