Chapter 492 News of Emperor Yanwu's serious illness
On the deck of the big ship, a bunch of grasshoppers are tied. Oh no, it's a row of kneeling pirates.
Baicaoshi holds hands behind her back and walks with eight-character steps, from beginning to end, full of bureaucratic style.
"With just such a little skill, you still learn to be a pirate, burning, killing and looting? Tsk tsk, there is no gold in it."
"I said, are all the pirates on this sea as poor as you? It shouldn't be, I think you are not pirates but beggars!"
"It is said that relying on mountains and eating mountains, guarding this vast ocean, doing some business is not better than being a pirate?"
The subordinates on the ship covered their mouths and frowned, feeling uncomfortable.
Madam is too sassy, too lovely, and too beautiful.
What? The pirates suspected that they were hallucinating, and were despised that they could pick out a great white shark on the deck, wishing they could dive into the bottom of the sea and dance with the octopus.
The one who shouted before was more articulate, and he explained: "It's not Madam, we are pirates, not stinky beggars."
Um? This ubiquitous chain of contempt, when a pirate becomes a sense of superiority?
"We were quite rich at first, but a group of poor and crazy soldiers passed by two years ago. They bullied the few and looted our boats, savings, and property. That's why we became like this."
Two years ago? Soldier? Baicaoshi thought of something and asked, "How many people are in that group? Are you too impatient to be beaten?"
"I told you how many of them there are, thousands of them." The pirate boss wearing a blindfold explained impatiently.
Zhen Yilou spoke up, "Could it be that Da Chonglou and the others did it?"
Probably because two years ago, Bu Zhan mentioned in a letter sent back that they had resupplied midway, taught a few pirates a lesson, and gained a lot. Now it seems that Master Xiaobu was too humble, and they turned rich pirates into abject poverty.
"It's unlucky for us. We caught up with two big storms at sea, and all our belongings were buried in the bottom of the sea. I met you again today." Cyclops sighed.
Zhe Yu looked at the vast sea, there must be an island where the pirates are, "Okay, stop talking nonsense, take us to the island, we need to replenish fresh water and vegetables."
**
The boat arrived at a small island after traveling for a day.
There are extinct volcanoes on the island, forming hot springs. Due to the special climate of the volcano, there are also many herbal medicines that cannot be seen on the mainland, and the biological species are extremely rich.
Baicao Poetry is like a paradise on earth, a paradise on the sea.
She was thinking about using this as a base for future university summer camps or study tour camps.
That night, Baicaoshi asked the chefs to make a rich vegetable salad, vegetable hot pot and vegetable barbecue to comfort the stomach that eats fish every day.
As for those pirates, Zhe Yu fed them "poison". If they change their ways and stop plundering, then at this time next year, someone will be sent to give them the antidote.
After the pirates experienced the "colic pain" in their abdomen, they believed it was true and swore to God one after another to change their minds.
After sufficient supplies, the big ship continued to head south, the difference was that there was a pirate as a guide.
The route they took was not the same as that drawn by Bu Zhan. Baicaoshi and the others passed by many small islands and tribes.
Everywhere they go, Baicaoshi will take out the pre-printed Dayan travel brochure, explain to them the customs and customs of Dayan and Yanjing, the capital of the country, and will also give some books to the residents of the island in exchange for local specialties and herbal medicines.
In this way, the entry of rare herbal medicine is guaranteed, and because Baicaoshi has conquered the greenhouse technology, the university's experimental base can be widely cultivated by then.
Going forward for a few more days, small dots gradually appeared at the end of the sea, and the speed was very fast. Baicaoshi pointed and shouted, "There are boats, so many boats!"
Zhe Yu squinted his eyes slightly, and on the sail that came into view, there was a big word "Yan" written on it.
It is Bu Zhan and Xu Ruoran.
They quelled the rebellion and returned triumphantly with An Nanguo's sincere gratitude and customs.
The two fleets approached and finally joined forces on the sea.
Bu Zhan and Da Chonglou stood side by side at the bow of the ship. The cabin door opened, and Xu Ruoran came out. She rolled up her black hair, combed her hair, and held a baby in her arms.
While fighting wars, they gave birth to offspring without any delay.
Zhe Yu glanced at the poem of Baicao, which was very meaningful.
Baicao Poetry only looks at Xu Ruoran, pregnant without marriage was a taboo in ancient times, Xu Ruoran broke all the taboos on women.
**
The ship approached Yi'an Island for supplies, and several principals set up a banquet, toasting and talking about daily life, and more importantly, admiring the gifts presented by An Nanguo.
At the beginning, Concubine Si gave Baicaoshi a large piece of agarwood, which secreted oil, but now Bu Zhan brought back a piece that was twice as big as Concubine Si's.
"This piece of agarwood has been at least a hundred years old, so it can be said to be a rare treasure."
Xu Ruoran was amazed at Baicaoshi's vision, "Indeed, this was found in the rebel lair. A Zhan said that adding it to Yixiang Bath Bean is very valuable."
Bu Zhan’s concern is deeper and more difficult, “Madam, look at our greenhouse, can we grow this kind of wood?”
"Theoretically it is possible, it needs to be tested, but we probably won't see it anymore." Baicaoshi replied rubbing her chin. "Your little one can."
Agarwood takes too long to mature, ranging from ten years to hundreds of years.
"What's her name?" Zhe Yu asked.
It was a little girl, born with pink makeup and jade carvings.
Bu Zhan and Xu Ruoran looked at each other, happiness floated on their cheeks, "It's called Bu Yiran."
The name of her parents is embedded in her name, which shows that her parents love each other.
The mention of the child was the pain of Baicaoshi, she quickly changed the subject, what else?
A piece of red cloth was torn off, and it turned out to be a red coral that was two meters high. The legendary "thousand-year coral and ten thousand-year red" is as red as a drop of blood, which shows that its fineness and quality are so high that it is invaluable.
"This kind of red coral abounds in the waters of Annan Country, and it takes the most experienced fishermen to salvage it." Bu Zhan shared.
Herborist sighed, if she was Bu Zhan, and got such good agarwood and coral trees, she would have died long ago. Well, the wealth is enough, and she can retire. "Why do you still want to come back? I hope you can live happily there forever."
Xu Ruoran understood the meaning of Baicao Poetry, she smiled, "There is a way, if parents are here, we will go back to Yanjing after all. If I have the strength to protect it, I am worried every day, and today I can finally return to Zhao."
Zhe Yu and Baicao Shi were both taken aback, because these things are too precious.
Bu Zhan said: "We brought these treasures back and mixed them with those coffee beans and seasonings. In fact, we don't want them to be charged into the national treasury and become the funds for the construction of the next palace. I and Ranran both believe that you will let her play her best." real value."
Bu Zhan still remembers that people in the royal family filled their pockets and embezzled the funds for building the palace, and it was Zhe Yu who came forward to solve it. Although due to the face of the royal family, the scandal was not announced. And Baicaoshi is his real shopkeeper, and he still gets dividends every year. These dividends are enough to support their mother and daughter and live well.
Zhe Yu was about to say something when Zhen Yilou hurried in with a note in his hand, his expression was serious. "There is news from Yanjing that His Majesty is seriously ill."
Emperor Yanwu has been obsessed with alchemy for the past two years, and he has raised several Taoist priests in the palace, all of whom claim to be immortal. Immortality is now killing him.
