Several new treaty ports were opened and the Chinese were obliged to pay $6.000.000 for the opium destroyed by Lin in Canton. Further friction led to the second oplum war, in which the British were again successful. By the treaty of Tientsin, which followed in 1538, still turther treaty ports were opened and opium became legalized.
