646 The hellish route of the Great Voyage
In view of Suning's heavy contributions and sacrifices at Li Chengqian's wedding, Li Chengqian finally got rid of the obsession of tasting the joy of men and women for the first time after spending seven happy days of marriage, and I don't know how much of the essence of life was paid to his white and tender princess, Li Chengqian rode a horse to Suning's mansion with a waist pole and brought a lot of gifts to thank Suning.
"Hey, hey, Sanming, in order to thank you, I have prepared a lot of gifts, you see, this is a tiger whip, this is a bullwhip, this is a ......" Li Chengqian's words were not finished, and Suning interrupted him with a sneer: "Wait, don't say it, I think ah, you need these things more than me, these seven days are still comfortable?" Was it spent on the couch or under the couch? ”
Li Chengqian's face flushed, covered the back of his head and smiled: "Hahahaha, Sanming, these things, hey, hey, hey, how can you be embarrassed to say this, this, you see, didn't I come to thank you at the first time?" Hehehehe, don't care about these details. ”
Li Chengqian used Suning's favorite sentence.
Suning rolled his eyes: "I said, do you feel a little sore in your waist?" ”
Li Chengqian's face froze, and then he smiled embarrassedly: "Hehe, this, this is only temporary, don't worry about Sanming, you see, my royal family still has a lot of such tonics, don't worry about those problems at all." ”
Suning shook his head, walked behind Li Chengqian's back and pressed his waist, and Li Chengqian screamed in a loud voice. Suning said coldly: "It's not that I haven't told you, these things are the medicine of the tiger and wolf, not to replenish the body, it is to overdraw your spirit in advance, take tomorrow's to use today, and then take the day after tomorrow to use tomorrow, sooner or later one day will be able to squeeze you dry!"
Don't use these things in the future, and your majesty shouldn't use these things now, why didn't I tell you about it, go and ask the imperial doctor. There is no such thing as Cistanche as a mild tonic for its temperament. Also, I know it's nice and enjoyable, but you can't just stay for seven days, can you? Is your crown princess much better than you? Is it ruddy, delicate and shiny skin? ”
Li Chengqian smiled and nodded. Suning said: "There is an old saying. There is no ploughed ground. It is not entirely true that there are only tired oxen, and there are also gifted people who have the ability to plow the ground. But it's definitely not you! Your wife is now picking yang to supplement yin, very comfortable, what about you, although you are young and vigorous, but you can't ignore it like this, the coming day is long, the coming day is long! ”
Li Chengqian nodded and said: "That, I know, I know, this, the main thing is that the father and mother are eager for their grandchildren, I, I just conform to their wishes, you see, you have children now, and I, I don't have offspring, so I will be more anxious, the imperial doctor also said that these days are a good time to conceive, so, I will ......"
Suning waved his hand and said, "I'm not even twenty years old, and I'm in a hurry to be a father?" I didn't ask for it on purpose, when the time comes, I will naturally send you a son, and you are not one of those people who can't have children, you are very healthy, normal, what are you worried about? Don't worry! ”
Li Chengqian nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, what you said is right, these gifts are a little bit of my heart, and the insider also said, those women in her family were also a little excited that day, and they beat you a little ugly, she felt very guilty, so she asked me to apologize to you, so that you don't blame those women and children." ”
Suning said depressedly: "I'm not so careful, it's okay to beat me, but my family is not so easy to speak, she has always been the only one who can beat me, that day she knew that I was beaten into that virtue, but she was ready to gather her sisters in Chang'an City to ask me for justice to come back, I finally stopped her, of course I know that it is not the meaning of the Su family, if I let it go, it is estimated that those relatives of the Su family will be unlucky, anyway, it is also a family with the same surname, not so difficult to speak." ”
Li Chengqian nodded approvingly: "It's still Sanming who is the best to talk and the most righteous, I know it's right to look for you!" ”
Suning rolled his eyes and said, "Then what are you looking for me?" Apologize specifically to me? You don't need to do this yourself, do you? Say, what are the thoughts. ”
Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from you, that, Sanming, I'm coming, the most important thing is, of course, to apologize to you, secondly, that, it's mainly my father, you know, this time the Seven Kings went to sea to cause a lot of pressure on my father, and you said that maritime trade is the Maritime Silk Road, my father is naturally very interested, and if the Seven Kings go to sea and find any land and don't report it to the court, they occupy it privately, this, this is really unreasonable!" ”
Suning smiled and said, "I don't believe that His Majesty didn't put eyeliner in the fleet of the Seven Kings. ”
Li Chengqian said: "This, this is naturally there, but there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, you also said that the sea is very dangerous, and my father does not dare to guarantee that those spies can also come back smoothly to report some things, so what, so what ......?"
"So Your Majesty also plans to get a fleet to go out to sea to patrol, right?" Suning helped Li Chengqian finish the rest of the words, in fact, this kind of thing Suning had already predicted, according to Li Erma's temperament, if there was such a big movement in the matter of the Seven Kings going to sea this time, if he still didn't move, it would really not be him.
In the past, no matter what the wind and grass he could sense for the first time, but if it wasn't a big thing, he would naturally not feel threatened, and there would be no radical action, this time it was almost a national movement to go to sea, it is said that the number of people concentrated in Jinling Port has approached 60,000, Guangzhou has more than 40,000 people, and Beiping Port has exceeded 30,000 people, so that there must be at least 100,000 people to go to sea, 100,000 people to go to sea!
It would be really strange if he didn't move.
Suning has also said a long time ago that in many ownerless lands, the Seven Kings go to sea to fight outpost battles. But they are the first group to put theory into practice anyway, and the benefits they get are likely to far exceed those of the people behind them, not to mention the princes, so so many private merchants and people also saw the benefits of the first discoverer to follow the sea at any cost, Li Erma, as the biggest speculator in the Tang Dynasty, how could he let such a title as the first fall into the hands of others?
When he first told Li Er's Majesty that he wanted the Seven Kings to go to sea first to find out the way, he noticed that something was wrong, and that guy definitely didn't want to be snatched by the Seven Kings first, and he would definitely move, and sure enough, after Li Chengqian's big wedding was completed. The cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods all began to move.
"Huh. I can't hide anything from you, Sanming, since you already know about this, I won't hide it. My father did think so. And I'm quite concerned about these things. So I'll ask you that, that, that. What can be done to minimize losses? Li Chengqian asked with a smile.
Suning shook his head and sighed: "Your Majesty has a question, I naturally answer everything, but I can't pack a ticket for this matter, because the sea is too terrifying, although it contains endless wealth, but its horror is far beyond our imagination, we can't imagine that a big ship that can carry thousands of people is completely destroyed by a storm at sea, and then thousands of people die in the sea, but these things are true."
The horror of a storm at sea is that you can only resign yourself to fate, and you see, how difficult it is to reach the land across the sea through such a large sea area. It must take a very long time, so the possibility of encountering a storm at sea is very high, and at that time there is no land around, so you can only rely on the control skills of sea sailors to fight the storm, and the success rate is too low, and it is really resigned to fate.
I can only say that the storm at sea is predictable, for example, when you notice that the slight sea breeze that has never stopped in the past suddenly stops, and the whole sea level suddenly becomes quiet and abnormal, stable and abnormal, a kind of bird that can be seen flying on the sea surface in the past, I don't know what kind of bird it is, anyway, that's what the master said, that's the precursor to a big storm, the so-called calm before the storm is what it means, once this happens, it is a precursor to the storm at sea.
At that time, if there is land around, hurry close to the land, anchor, stabilize the hull, everyone get off the boat and go to the land to avoid the storm, if the storm does not see the land, then there is nothing I can do, the sea is really not a human power can fight, I can only pray that the storm can stop before the ship is completely destroyed, once it falls into the sea during the storm, do not save it, because it cannot be saved at all, just treat him as if he is dead!
At the same time, according to what I said before, prepare fresh vegetables and fruits, without these things the crew will get sick and die, if there is no way to replenish along the way, just drink tea, this tea I can't supply so many people, this time after the fleet goes to sea, I will find a way to expand the production of tea gardens, try to let everyone in Datang drink tea, and there is no need to be afraid when going to sea.
Of course, tea bricks are not impossible, but the yield of tea is very low, and there are not many people in Datang who drink tea, so there must be no way to supply everyone, so you can bring some beans and water them with rainwater at sea, you can grow bean sprouts, and those bean sprouts can also be guaranteed not to get sick after eating, and at the same time, those pickled vegetables can also be brought more, and then prepare sufficient drinking water, the sea water is bitter and cannot be drunk, and the supply of drinking water must be guaranteed, and there is no water on the sea is a dead end.
In addition, if we have successfully reached the other side of the sea and found land, if there are people on it who cannot communicate with each other, and they do not understand our Chinese, and we cannot understand their words, then it is better not to have a conflict, and take out our goods and exchange them with them, so that they can understand what we mean, and of course, if they do not know what to do, do not pity them. ”
Li Chengqian nodded with a heavy face and said, "Is the sea really so dangerous? ”
Suning nodded: "It's so dangerous, but ah, the whole sea is an endless treasure house, my master said that there is not only the sea food that can be eaten by the entire Tang Dynasty for hundreds of years, but also many other things, I don't know what it is, but I think those things must be some good things." ”
Li Chengqian was surprised: "So much? So, how do I get it? ”
Suning said with a smile: "In fact, we can place some special people on the coast to catch seafood, let them catch seafood, and teach the people living along the coast to catch seafood, once there is a famine, you can let these people catch seafood to satisfy their hunger, this is also possible, you can save a lot of food, you can also buy more time, and the sea water can also be boiled salt, the boiled sea salt is also edible, there is no shortage of salt and no lack of food, the hungry people will not starve to death, and the people of the entire coast will not starve to death."
Isn't it great that they can also catch seafood and sell it to make money, which is another way to make money and reduce the burden on the people? There are a lot of things that can be used, but we just don't know how to use them. (To be continued......)
