[Douluo] I have a needle but not a sword

Tang Xiaoliu’s plan:

Li Bai pretended to be drunk at a cocktail party and asked the eunuch closest to Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty to take off his shoes for him.

After humiliating the other party severely and making the other party hold a grudge, the other party would add insult to injury and speak ill of Li Bai in front of Tang Xuanzong, making Tang Xuanzong dissatisfied with Li Bai.

The heat alone is not strong enough. Li Bai, who was pretending to be drunk, asked Concubine Yang to sharpen ink and compose poems.

This will conform to history, and Li Bai will write three famous poems in Qing Ping Diao, vividly describing the beauty of peonies and Yang Guifei. (At this time, Yang Yuhuan had been attracted by the lustful Tang Xuanzong, and had forcibly made her his concubine. It was when she was most favored.)

After this incident, their "undercover" Yang Guifei began to have a close relationship with Tang Xuanzong.

Concubine Yang pretended that she didn't like Li Bai and wanted to drive him away.

After hearing Concubine Yang's complaint, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty became even more dissatisfied with Li Bai, but he didn't know what suitable excuse he could find to drive Li Bai out of Chang'an.

At this time, Yang Guifei can propose a plan according to the script arranged by Tang Xiaoliu: "launch another Maritime Silk Road, and then go to foreign countries to promote Datang culture and improve Datang's status in the world. She can also specially arrange some disobedient people." Ministers will go." plan.

Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was very satisfied after hearing this, and issued an imperial edict early the next morning, assigning some disobedient courtiers to go to sea (including Li Bai of course) to start the Maritime Silk Road.

Du Fu also wrote a letter expressing his willingness to follow those ministers to other countries to make a contribution to promoting the glory of the Tang Dynasty.

After hearing this, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was very satisfied and readily agreed, and was moved by his fearless spirit.

Tang Xiaoliu and Tang Xiaosan successfully got on the ship as Li Bai's family members. Opened a new chapter in his life.

At that time, Tang Xiaoliu and the others set out three months in advance and first arrived in the city with the most developed shipbuilding industry in Datang.

The first thing they did when they went there was to eat and drink in the most expensive restaurant.

Tang Xiaoliu has been in this world for eleven years. He finally ate the freshest seafood; saw the ocean that had not experienced any pollution; and witnessed the most advanced merchant ships and the most majestic fleet at that time.

Tang Xiaoliu visited the local shipyard and found that the shipbuilding technology at that time had many characteristics.

For example, advanced technology, safe and scientific structural form, huge appearance, and strong stability. This is specifically reflected in the special structure of the watertight cabin. Moreover, the connection technology of shipbuilding also reached its peak at this time.

It really deserves to be the Tang Dynasty! It truly deserves to be the greatest dynasty in the history of China! Tang Xiaoliu sighed from the bottom of his heart.

Their last stop was Guangzhou.

It is recorded in the history of the previous life that the period of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was at the turning point between the prosperous Tang Dynasty and the mid-Tang Dynasty.

By the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the overland Silk Road would be blocked, and trade on the Northwest Silk Road would decline.

At the same time, the Maritime Silk Road has gradually become the main channel for China’s opening up to the outside world. Port cities such as Yangzhou, Guangzhou, and Mingzhou will become important places for Datang’s opening up and exchanges with the outside world. These ports attracted foreign businessmen and became increasingly prosperous.

Tang Xiaoliu stood on the endless seaside and once again felt the impact of this world on him!

Huge waves more than ten feet high kept rising, people shouting constantly from all around, and a fleet of ships slowly sailed towards them.

"Is this our ship!" Du Fu stood next to Li Bai and clenched his hand uneasily.

This is the first time in his life that he has seen such a huge ship. He knew how small he was standing in front of this giant ship.

The merchant ship at the front is the largest one in this caravan, and it is also the most luxurious one in the entire merchant ship.

The patterns of beasts painted on the leading merchant ship were faintly visible in the sea water, looking so mysterious.

On both sides of the ship there is a pair of wings spread wide like the wings of an eagle.

The snow-white and huge sails were slightly bulged by the salty sea breeze, making the whole ship even more solemn and domineering.

The sun that was about to enter the sea shed its last ray of light on the ship, adding a bit of sacredness and majesty to this behemoth.

"This is too domineering!" Even Tang Xiaoliu was intimidated by this merchant ship. He felt that the impact of the iron ship in his memory in his previous life was not as strong as this ship. big……

Everything was fine before the merchant ship set sail. Because most of the officials were sailing on the sea for the first time, they were extremely curious and kept exploring every corner of the huge merchant ship.

They were surprised to find that when walking on the double boat, the whole person would feel like they were floating up and down. This novel feeling attracted many officials. Later, officials were obsessed with the feeling of ups and downs.

When the merchant ship set sail, things began to become unoptimistic.

The huge merchant ship was traveling farther and farther, and all the officials could not suppress the feeling of reluctance.

The originally lively deck gradually became quiet, and sadness enveloped everyone.

The sad people looked at the direction of Datang from a distance, watching it become smaller and smaller, more and more confused, slowly turning into a small dot, and finally disappeared.

The officials no longer wanted to play around, and all returned to their rooms in silence.

At noon the next day, someone became seasick.

The seasick official collapsed on the deck.

His face was very pale, his body was twitching slightly, and drool slowly flowed from the corner of his mouth...

The other officials were shocked when they saw this situation and quickly took a few steps back, forming a vacuum zone around the fainted official. They were too scared to act rashly or step forward to check the situation.

Tang Xiaoliu, who had just finished eating, saw everyone retreating. After sighing in his heart, he hurriedly rushed to the unconscious official, opened his eyelids and found that his pupils were dilated.

He quickly dragged the person to the center of the ship, allowing him to lean against the mast. After securing the person, Tang Xiaoliu took out a small bamboo tube only two fingers thick from his belt and took out the acupuncture bag inside.

Tang Xiaoliu slowly unfolded the acupuncture bag, carefully took out a silver needle from it, and inserted it into the official's Baihui point without hesitation.

Because medicines are currently limited, there is no way to prevent officials from becoming seasick. But acupuncture is effective in treating vertigo and can temporarily improve officials' reactions to seasickness.

Before he knew it, Tang Xiaoliu was surrounded by people, including some old sailors who had been walking on the sea for many years.

"Young Master, it's useless! That gentleman is not welcomed by the Dragon King. In the next few days, he will not be able to eat and will vomit non-stop. This is the punishment given to him by the Dragon King... Wait a few days Oh my god, we're ashore. Sir, his health will be better!" One of the experienced crew members said to Tang Xiaoliu.

"No, you are wrong! This official was not punished by the Dragon King, he was just seasick." Tang Xiaoliu raised his head and explained to the crew seriously.

"Seasickness? What is seasickness?" The old crew member was puzzled.

Tang Xiaoliu knew that people nowadays are very superstitious. They worship gods and place their spirits on those gods and immortals who cannot exist.

Although Tang Xiaoliu advocated science, he would not talk to the people about truth and force people to agree with science and resist superstition.

Because he knows that there is no need for him to do this, because no matter how much scientific propaganda he does or how much science-related remarks he makes, it will not help in this era.

Everything happens for a reason.

The first reason: early humans respected nature, and because science was not developed enough, they did not have a reasonable reason to explain the ever-changing nature, so ghosts appeared.

The second reason is that people's lives are too difficult and they need spiritual sustenance, so gods exist.

Those kind-hearted gods will appear when great disasters occur in the world. They help the people control floods, cure diseases, deal with corrupt officials for the people, and help poor people live a happy life.

The last reason is related to the emperor and the nobles.

In the earliest days of history, rulers sought to make their rule more convincing and authoritative. They call themselves the sons of heaven, so people generally call the emperor the son of heaven.

In the middle and late periods, the emperors were no longer content to rule only the lives of the people. They began to control the people's thoughts and spirits.

So in history, most religions were supported by rulers.

Tang Xiaoliu also had to admit that at certain times, superstition could better promote the development of history and the creation of culture.

And superstition is also a great tool…

Tang Xiaoliu wants to establish a certain prestige in this team. Even if he is just a child now, he will grow up one day.

He can subtly deepen his position and achieve his own goals.

Tang Xiaoliu began to explain to everyone, "Actually, seasickness is a very common reaction."

"When people take a boat, it is easy to cause seasickness due to the bumps, swings or rotations of the hull."

"People who are seasick need to lie on their backs and close their eyes. If there is no place to lie down, they can sit.

When sitting, the head must be close to the object, so as to effectively prevent large swings from causing more serious conditions.

People who suffer from seasickness must choose a seat with good ventilation. This can alleviate the seasickness reaction..."
