I can sign in in Datang

Chapter 462 Doubts
She chose to join Lin Xuan at the beginning because she wanted to use the status of the Lin family to let Guo Caiyue marry a good family.

If she wanted Guo Caiyue to be a concubine, with Guo Caiyue's looks, why would she come to join Lin Xuan.

Apart from her poor family background, Guo Caiyue is no worse than those ladies from rich families.

Lin Xuan is a marquis, and with Guo Caiyue's status, she can barely accept Lin Xuan as a concubine.

But Lin Xuan wanted to marry the princess, and it was up to the princess whether he could take a concubine or not.

Guo Caiyue knelt on the ground with a plop, and cried, "Grandma, I really know I was wrong. You have to go. When I protect Lord Hou and come back from Lingnan, grandma wants to go. I will go with grandma."

"Since you are willing to follow me, why wait until you come back from Lingnan?" Guo Lanhua said.

Guo Caiyue cried: "Master Hou has offended many people, and those people want to put him to death. This time when I go to Lingnan, someone will definitely assassinate Lord Hou. I want to protect him."

Seeing Guo Caiyue crying so sadly, Guo Lanhua was very distressed.

"Okay, we'll leave when you protect him this time and come back from Lingnan," Guo Lanhua said.

Guo Caiyue is getting deeper and deeper, it's not a good thing if it goes on like this.

She would rather take Guo Caiyue back to her original place and let her marry an ordinary person.

……

Early the next morning, Lin Xuan came to Zhuangzi with the things Lin Dongyang had prepared.

The servant was distributing things there, Lin Xuan called Zhou Mancang aside and asked, "Zhou Lizheng, have you found all the people I asked you to find for me?"

"Back to Lord Hou, we have already found all of them, and they are not the only son in the family." Zhou Mancang said.

Lin Xuan nodded and said, "You have to tell them clearly that going to sea is dangerous. If someone doesn't want to go, they don't have to go."

In some novels, it is written that the most feared thing when going to sea is scurvy.

Because long-distance voyages cannot bring too many vegetables and fruits, if you do not eat vegetables and fruits for a long time, you will be deficient in vitamins, and once people lack vitamins, you will suffer from scurvy.

In order to prevent this situation, the protagonist also found some high-vitamin fruits for the crew to bring.

In fact, these are all nonsense. Vegetables are not easy to preserve, how long can fruits be preserved?

It usually takes several months to go to sea, and all the fruits are rotten.

In fact, ancient Chinese voyages carried a large amount of pickled vegetables and kimchi.In addition, the Chinese also have the habit of drinking green tea, which also contains vitamins. Our oriental eating habits have avoided the problem of scurvy in the fleet.

For example, the crew of Zheng He’s voyages brought beans with them before the voyage, soaked bean sprouts on board to eat, and supplemented vitamins and other trace elements in time. In addition, Zheng He’s fleet sailors in the Ming Dynasty were mostly from Yangzhou and other Jiangnan people. drink green tea.

Therefore, there is no problem of scurvy in China's navigation.

The real danger is the weather, and technical backwardness.

Although the ancients used some circumstances to predict the weather, they were not particularly accurate.

In addition, the ship at this time cannot withstand too much wind and waves, which is the biggest danger of sailing.

Lin Xuan couldn't solve these problems either.

Lin Xuan advocates long-distance voyages, and finding wealth is one thing.

What's more important is to let some people see the benefits, so that they can set their sights on the sea.

"Back to Lord Hou, I've already told them that it's all voluntary." Zhou Mancang said.

"I'll get someone to send fifty guan in a while, and you can send them a guan, so that they can have a good year." Lin Xuan said.

"I thank Lord Hou on their behalf." Zhou Mancang said.

……

Back home, Lin Ping told him that Xu Geng was here and was waiting for him in the living room.

Lin Xuan was a little strange, Xu Geng came here a few days ago, why did he come again?
The academy is already on vacation, so there is nothing to do now.

When they came to the hall, Xu Geng was sitting there drinking tea.

Lin Xuan smiled and said, "You came here to drink tea, right? Didn't I give you some?"

"Master Hou was joking. I'm here to ask Master Hou. Now that the books are almost out of pile, when will Master Hou plan to sell them?" Xu Geng said.

Lin Xuan patted his forehead and said, "I forgot about the book, how many books have been printed now?"

"Ten thousand copies of each of the three books that Lord Hou sent at the beginning were printed, and thousands of copies of each of the books sent later were also printed," Xu Geng said.

"I didn't expect there to be so many, I will notify people to pull the book." Lin Xuan said.

After Xu Geng was sent away, Lin Xuan called Lin Ping and asked him to send someone to notify He Xinmin to arrange someone to take the book back and arrange to sell it as soon as possible.

Xue Yantuo
Yi Nan warmly entertained Hou Junji. After the banquet was over, Hou Junji was supported by his personal soldiers and returned to the tent that had been arranged.

After Hou Junji left, the drunkenness in Yi Nan's eyes faded away. All he drank just now was water, not wine at all.

Yi Nan looked at the leaders of the various ministries and asked, "What do you think of Datang's credentials?"

"Khan, I think Datang is really bluffing. For so many years, tribes have come to Datang to plunder every year. When did Datang send envoys?"

"I think so too. The Tang Dynasty sent envoys, obviously unable to send troops, and wanted to give their people an explanation, so they sent people here."

"I don't think so. Hou Junji is the Tang Emperor's confidant and favorite minister, and he is also the Duke of the state. If Datang wanted to show off, why would he send him here? I think we should be careful about Datang."

"That's right, Khan, maybe Hou Junji came here to confuse us, but in fact it was the chief general sent by the Tang Dynasty to attack us. The Han people are the most treacherous. Back then, the Eastern Turks were attacked by the Tang Dynasty. perishing."

As soon as Yi Nan's voice fell, there was a burst of discussion among the big accounts.

Yi Nan frowned slightly. At first he felt that Datang was bluffing. After all these years, it was not that he had violated the border, but Datang always sent troops directly to the border. It was the first time that he sent people like this.

But as some people say, the Han people often use conspiracies and tricks. Who knows if this is a conspiracy by the Han people?
For a while, Yi Nan couldn't understand Datang's intention.

Ashar smiled and said, "Khan, it's actually very simple to find out the purpose of Datang."

Ashar is Yi Nan's loyal supporter and also his military adviser.

Seeing what Ashar said, Yi Nan quickly asked, "Military teacher, what can you do?"

"Great Khan, we're not the only ones who robbed the Great Tang. Didn't the Western Turks also plunder? The Great Tang doesn't have the strength to attack us and the Western Turks at the same time. If Hou Junji leaves Xue Yantuo and wants to go to the Western Turks, then it should be It's bluffing. If not, then we have to be on guard against Datang. It's best to put Hou Junji..." Ashar said that it would be best to draw his hands on the front of his neck.

When Yi Nan heard the previous words, he felt that what Ashar said was very reasonable, but he hesitated when he heard that he was going to attack Hou Junji.

If Hou Junji was killed, Datang would definitely retaliate, so he not only had to guard against Western Turks attacking him, but also guarded against Datang's sneak attack on him.

Seeing Yi Nan hesitated, Ashar knew what he was worried about, and said: "If Hou Junji doesn't go to the Western Turks, he is probably the chief general sent by the Tang Dynasty to the border. If he is not eliminated, he may take him with him at any time." Soldiers came to attack us."

After listening to Yi Nan, the hesitation in his heart disappeared, and he said: "Just do as you say, but before that, no one should offend him, or don't blame me for being rude."

During this period of time, he felt that the positions of some tribal leaders were not firm, and he was worried that someone had secretly taken refuge in the Western Turks.

At that time, if those people send someone to assassinate Hou Junji, no matter whether they succeed or not, they will be blamed on him at that time.
