Section 0860 Li Yuan's Medicine
Liu Mu was very serious: "They set off from the Great Dynasty Song, all the way north along Liaodong, and then walked to the Bering Coast and then east, one hundred thousand miles, and then they arrived at that piece of land, and it is estimated that no one in the world knows about this place except me." There is a fertile land for thousands of miles, and there are almost ten Tang Dynasty lands, but there are few people. ”
"What is this?" Li Yuan was asking about the cigar again.
Liu Mu said: "This is called tobacco, and it is a ritual of the tribes over there 4 to 50,000 miles to the east, who believe that smoking can connect with the gods and have a magical effect. Therefore, this tobacco is used in sacrifices and peace talks. ”
Li Yuan didn't doubt Liu Mu's insight, and asked again, "What's the use of you looking for this?" ”
"It can make people calmer and more exciting, and it's an item that can have an emotional and mental impact. But there are also disadvantages, the disadvantage is that diseases like Zou Guogong are more likely to get, and if he smokes, he will definitely lose his life. But I found it for a terrible plan. ”
"Scary, I'm interested." Li Yuan waved his hand to signal everyone to retreat, and then said to Liu Mu: "First teach me how to use this thing?" ”
Ha a tube?
Li Yuan took a thin hand-rolled cigarette and tried it, but his eyes were still choking.
"Tell me, what are your plans?"
Liu Mu was still rolling his immature cigar unhurriedly, and said slowly: "This kind of thing has disadvantages, and it is definitely not a good thing. But no matter how bad this thing is, it won't kill people, but it is a heavily taxed object. If one is worth one penny, then a box of twenty will cost four hundred yuan. ”
"What? Ninety out of five are taxes? Li Yuan was a former emperor, but he was also taken aback by Liu Mu's theory.
"Huh." Liu Mu laughed twice, remembering that the tobacco company in later generations handed over almost a trillion yuan every year.
It can be seen how lucrative this thing is.
Liu Mu took out the whistle and blew it vigorously, and a personal soldier came over.
Liu Mu instructed: "Go and fetch the box on my ship with four layers of iron boxes." ”
The soldiers went according to Liu Mu's orders.
After not much effort, four soldiers came over carrying an iron box. This is a box with a box on top of a two-foot box, and the innermost layer of the two-foot box is a small three-inch wooden box.
Liu Mu motioned for his soldiers to stay away, and then took out the small wooden box and took out some flocculent and thin leaves from it.
"These are hemp flowers and young leaves."
Liu Mu particularly emphasized: "Father, this is poison. This kind of thing will make people hallucinate according to my tobacco method, feel that they can become immortals, and the more they smoke, the more they need it, and the feeling is ten or a hundred times more terrible than not eating a day. ”
"You mean, make two that look the same and are actually different."
"Father is wise, pure tobacco is sold in Datang, and Datang takeaways are added. The first one was sold to the Goguryeo people, and I wanted to squeeze out all the wealth of Goguryeo. Then sell it to Rome. ”
Li Yuan had a hint of excitement on his face: "Didn't you say that Rome is an ally?" ”
"Rome is, it doesn't mean that Rome is further west, north, or that we are allies with Rome."
Listening to Liu Mu's serious words, Li Yuan had a sad face.
He is old, he is useless, for Datang, he is just an old man who eats, drinks and has fun, and the prosperity of Datang seems to have nothing to do with him.
"Father, why don't you go on an adventure?"
"Adventure?" Li Yuan didn't quite understand the meaning of the word.
After Liu Mu lit a third-rate cigar that he had just rolled and was extremely loose, Liu Mu said happily: "Father, you are the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, right?" ”
"Yes." Li Yuanxin said that this still needs to be emphasized?
Liu Mu continued: "Then the land under the feet of the father and emperor has the lord or the enemy, or the ally, or the vassal state. Isn't that the reason? But no matter who you are, you must have enough respect in the face of you, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. ”
"That's right." Li Yuan was a little anxious, Liu Mu's nonsense was too far away.
Fortunately, Liu Mu didn't let Li Yuan wait too long, and the point was immediately there.
Liu Mu asked, "Then what the father and the son want to ask." If it is an ownerless place, and the father and emperor have his feet on the ownerless land, then to whom does this place belong? ”
"Ownerless?" Li Yuan hadn't reacted yet.
Liu Mu pointed to his feet: "This is the ownerless, my people have seen it around, and there is not even a wild man." Here, of course, there is no owner. ”
"This is my land, because I stand here."
Li Yuan stood up and laughed very proudly.
"Father is wise."
"I've named this place Cloud Swallowing Island, hahaha!" Li Yuan laughed loudly, but Peng Hai hurriedly ran over, and then the scribe next to him took a pen and immediately wrote it down, in a certain year and month, the Emperor Taishang of the Tang Dynasty came to a nameless island, and the Emperor Taishang gave him a name.
Liu Mu immediately echoed and said, "Father, then we need to prepare well for the real adventure. ”
"Let's hear how to prepare."
"First of all, how can you have ten main warships, five logistics ships, and one repair ship. Then there are thousands of elite marine soldiers, and ...... weapons" Liu Mu was planning Li Yuan's enclosure fleet: "Another example, draftsmen, surveyors, etc., these people must have them, and five hundred sea ships are not enough, and one thousand and three hundred large ships must be built." ”
"Good, good, good." Li Yuan said three good words in a row.
Discover the borderless land for the Tang Dynasty, and then give it a name. This thing is so great that Li Yuan suddenly found that his life was shining again.
"You spoke very well. However, it is also very hard for a sergeant to travel the world with me. There are too few logistics ships, and all kinds of delicacies must be brought enough, plus 500 Japanese maids and 500 Goguryeo maids. After finishing speaking, Li Yuan's expression changed too much.
When Peng Haihai was about to ask, he only heard Li Yuan ask in a low voice: "If this I am arranged like this, will it be said by future generations to be the same as Yang Guang." ”
"No, absolutely not. Father, you are doing a very great thing, think about you going to an island and you find that there are precious medicinal herbs on the island, and you find another island, and you find that there are gold mines on the island, or whatever. Let's record these things, and in the future, the court can also make reasonable plans for the expansion of Datang. ”
Yanagi made it clear.
In fact, Li Yuan is bringing an exploration team, which has enough professionals in botany, mineralogy, geology, and other fields, and then a large number of marines can ensure safety.
Not to mention anything else, this country of a thousand islands alone made it impossible for Li Yuan to lead the team to draw a detailed map for three and five years.
What's more, as Li Yuan, as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the ownerless land he personally set foot on, no one on the earth dares to say that this is not the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
So be sure to bring a stonemason and be responsible for erecting the monument.
