Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Gao Zhiming said: "Since it's not very appropriate, there is only one choice left! Only marrying you is the best destination for them!"

"But I'm already married."

"What is it to marry a wife? The Changren Kingdom is thousands of miles away from the Tang Dynasty, and the etiquette there can still affect here? It's a joke! To say something that shouldn't be said, with your previous status, what beauty can you marry? I'm afraid your poor wife's beauty is not even half as beautiful as the husband's daughter!"

Xu Qinen thought for a while and said firmly: "My wife's appearance is indeed not comparable to that of the princess of your country. But there is an old saying that a poor wife will not go to court, so I can't divorce her and remarry."

Gao Zhiming's eyes flashed brightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Do you still want to go back to Datang?"

"Before I left, I made a three-year agreement with my wife. As long as my surname Xu has breath, I will go back and fulfill the promise."

"Then the main reason for this country is to force you to stay?"

Xu Qinen's neck twitched, and he said: "Even if you add an ax to your body, I will not change your original intention!"

"You..." Gao Zhiming took a deep breath and said, "Why are you so stupid? As a son-in-law with me, you have to eat and drink, you are as beautiful as a cloud, and you are as powerful as you are. Is it better to go back to Chang'an and be a commoner?"

Xu Qinen shook his head, and said: "Even if you're being foolish, I hope the king will make it happen!"

……

……

Gao Zhiming tried to persuade him repeatedly, but Xu Qinen just refused to listen.In desperation, he had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, saying: "Well, you can go back to Datang if you want, and I can even help you back to Datang. But you have to promise me one condition."

"What conditions?"

"Don't you have a three-year contract with your wife? It's okay to stay with me for a year, right? You have to listen to me during this year."

"But I don't know what the country wants me to do?"

"You marry my daughters, it's best to make them pregnant."

"Ah?!" Xu Qinen opened his mouth wide.

……

……

In the end, Xu Qinen agreed to Gao Zhiming's conditions, and enjoyed the best of sex in the next year.

A year later, Gao Zhiming kept his promise and sent a ship to send him to the pier of Xun Kingdom. Not only that, he also gave him a hundred taels of gold and a thousand pearls.

It is considered safe on the ground of Xun country.Xu Qinen spent money on a merchant ship, and after half a year, he finally returned to Chang'an City.

At this time, there are only two months left before the three-year agreement, and the joy of the husband and wife's reunion goes without saying.

Then, Xu Qinen informed Master Wu's family of the capsized fleet.The Wu family's fleet has been missing for so long, and people have already had a premonition. Now hearing the bad news, it only confirms the conjecture in their hearts, and they are not too sad.

The Wu family was rich, so they organized a big funeral immediately.Not only that, but also thanked Xu Qinen who came to report the letter.

With Gao Zhiming's gift and the Wu family's thank you gift, Xu Qinen's net worth is close to [-] yuan.Immediately, a shop was set up, and it was easy to operate.

Within a few years, the Xu family prospered again.

Xu Qinen had nothing to do, so he wrote a book about his experience of going to sea, called "A Tale of Encountering Immortals Overseas" and spread it around.

As soon as this book came out, Luoyang was immediately expensive.

Who doesn't want to get rich overnight?Who doesn't want to be surrounded by concubines?And all of this can be obtained as long as you go to sea and find the Changren Kingdom.

Ever since, Datang set off a wave of searching for Australia.

Three years later, Australia was discovered by the Tang people, but the Changren Kingdom was nowhere to be found.It eventually became a folk legend...

Chapter 11 Qian Ba's Spring (1)

When it’s cold, it’s so cold that you lie on the ice, and when it’s hot, you can sit in a steamer;Brother, only to be killed by you, bro, only to be bored by you, brother, it's really sad in the cold and summer!

This song "Dawling Ling" was written by a man named Chen Quan in the Ming Dynasty.Chen Quan is humorous and humorous. He created this order with his own experience, and vividly described the pain of suffering from malaria.

Now, Guo Ye looked at the sick man who kept saying "ouch" in front of him, and this little order couldn't help appearing in his mind.

5 people traveled to America, which was indeed very difficult considering the level of technology in the seventh century AD.But no matter how difficult it was, with Guo Ye's efforts, it was successfully implemented.

It is a miracle that so many people traveled across the ocean without any ship capsizing or loss of personnel due to injury or illness.

However, Guo Ye had calculated thousands of times, and still missed one thing-malaria.

As the name suggests, this disease is like being tortured by "cruel torture" after getting the disease, which is very painful.More importantly, the fatality rate is extremely high.

Because of malaria, after the Tang army landed in North America, more than 300 people died within two months.Nearly 2000 people were sick but survived.

With such a big mess, all kinds of rumors began to breed.

Some people say that the army collided with the indigenous gods, and the best way at this time is to open an altar to sacrifice.

Some people say that this place is a place of miasma, which is not suitable for human habitation at all. It is better for everyone to return to the Tang Dynasty.

Some people even said that the king of Donghua brought everyone here, probably not because of the teachings of some immortals, but because he was bewitched by demons.The souls of those who died were captured by the devil.

Wait, there's more.

The morale of the Tang army plummeted, the morale of the army was unstable, and Guo Ye was also full of sadness.

In fact, regarding malaria, it is not quite accurate to say that Guo Ye completely missed it.

Malaria was ravaging America, he had known for a long time.The drug for treating malaria - Artemisia annua, he is also ready.

Artemisinin can cure malaria, which is well known to modern people.The Chinese also won the Nobel Prize for this.

According to the method in Ge Hong's "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription", "hold Artemisia annua, soak it in two liters of water, twist it to get the juice, and take it as much as you want."

Is it supposed to cure malaria?

As a result, after arriving in America, I tried this method, not to mention that it didn't work at all, at least it didn't have much effect.

Only then did Guo Ye understand that modern people extract artemisinin with ether.Speaking of which, the Nobel Prize winner was only inspired by this prescription, not to say that this prescription must have miraculous effects.

It turned out that I thought that the ancient prescription was only slightly less effective, and I really took it for granted.If I knew this earlier, I should have found a way to extract artemisinin before traveling east to America.

However, reality is not a game and cannot be rolled back.What is needed and what is lacking in the Americas, we can no longer pin our hopes on extracting artemisinin.

Guo Ye decided to settle for the next best thing, thinking of another magic drug against malaria——Cinchona Cream.

In the Chinese military tent.

"What? Kinney cream?" All the generals were stunned.
