[Douluo] I have a needle but not a sword

Half a month later, Tang Xiaoliu and his fleet arrived in Southeast Asia.

Because the previous Tang Dynasty had also sent ministers to conduct transactions, the locals did not show much reaction to their arrival.

The first thing they did when they landed was to find an inn, and the second thing was to have a big meal.

Because they have been sailing on the sea for half a month, they have eaten dry food for half a month. Although you can also eat fresh fish, if you eat it for half a month, anyone will get tired of it!

The sequelae of eating fish for half a month is that when everyone sees fish, they subconsciously feel nauseous and want to vomit.

After everyone learned the news that they could finally land today, they danced with excitement. Even the seasick minister couldn't help but leave the room and stand on the beach to watch.

After eating a fresh meal, the people who had been sailing on the sea for more than half a month were finally able to rest contentedly.

Early the next morning, local officials who received the news warmly entertained them, and even the local ruler invited them to attend the banquet...

After the banquet was over, Li Bai, the minister in charge, discussed with the local rulers the items they wanted to exchange.

Tang Xiaoliu and the others exchanged porcelain, tea, and silk for natural rubber, oil palm, coconut and other tropical cash crops in Southeast Asia.

They were in no hurry to make the exchange. They decided to rest in Southeast Asia for a while before setting off again.

Items will be exchanged until the last week of departure.

The local rulers expressed support for their decision and would give them the highest personal freedom. and allow them to do business locally. Specialized soldiers will also be photographed to protect them.

Everyone is not stupid and knows that the soldiers sent by the ruler are actually used to supervise them.

But everyone didn't care. They were all educated subjects of the Tang Dynasty and would never do anything illegal. What's more, since they have gone abroad now, they cannot lose the face of the Tang Dynasty.

......................................................

The dawn sun shines on the earth through the layers of leaves. Those small but numerous spots of light illuminate this small piece of heaven and earth.

The new grass sprouted happily; the ants began the task of looking for breakfast; the fluffy little squirrel opened its big eyes and started a new day.

"Tap, tap" several rapid footsteps interrupted the tranquility of the forest.

Two people, whose silhouettes could only be seen vaguely, were walking through the woods. They are very fast.

There was a fluffy little squirrel eating breakfast. It was holding a big hazelnut and gnawing on it. Suddenly two black shadows passed in front of it. He blinked his two small round obsidian eyes blankly and felt a breeze blowing through its fluffy and soft hair.

It shook its big furry tail and continued to eat its unfinished breakfast heartlessly.

Tang Xiaoliu and Tang Xiaosan successively arrived at the top of a mountain deep in the forest.

It was just dawning, and a faint fish-belly white rose in the distance in the east. The two found a place with the best view and sat cross-legged side by side.

Two handsomely dressed teenagers sat on the edge of a high cliff.

Their eyes were fixed on the increasingly bright white fish belly in the east. They breathed in slowly through their noses, and then exhaled slowly from their mouths. They inhaled slowly and exhaled slightly, feeling that their whole bodies became lighter.

After breathing it out for a while, the white mist floating around the two teenagers slowly condensed as if it was pulled by something. A white air dragon formed, swimming around the two teenagers, forming a perfect circle.

At this moment, their eyes suddenly widened. In the gradually brightening white of the fish belly in the distance, there seemed to be a faint purple flash. If they didn't have amazing eyesight and enough concentration, they would never be able to detect its existence. of.

The appearance of the purple energy made the two teenagers completely concentrate. They no longer even exhaled, but only inhaled slightly and slowly, while their eyes stared closely at the faint purple color.

The purple energy did not appear for long. When the white fish belly in the east was gradually covered by the color of the rising sun, the purple energy had completely disappeared.

The young men slowly closed their eyes and exhaled a long breath of turbid air. A stream of white air came out of their mouths like a bolt, and then slowly dispersed.

The white air dragon surrounding the two people also dispersed quietly.

The two teenagers sat quietly for a long time before opening their eyes again. Whether it was because of the contamination of the purple air that day, their eyes actually shone with a faint purple meaning. Although the purple color did not last for long and then quietly subsided, but when When it exists, it is so clear.

The cute-looking boy stretched out his body and fell directly into the arms of the cold and handsome boy next to him.

"Third brother, don't tell me, these purple devil eyes are really powerful!"

"I have been practicing for so long, and my vision has become clearer and clearer. I am almost reaching the subtle state now, how about you?"

"The Six Treasures are so powerful, I'm about to reach the subtle realm!"

Although he knew that Tang Xiaoliu was many years older than him, Tang Xiaosan's attitude towards Tang Xiaoliu was still so doting.

Tang Xiaosan knew that his Xiaoliubao was simple, but not stupid.

He guessed that Tang Xiaoliu must have had little contact with people in his previous life for more than twenty years. Tang Xiaoliu must be particularly fond of studying. Tang Xiaoliu must have read many books and could remember most of the knowledge in them. Tang Xiaoliu must have been very powerful at that time, and he was definitely a member of the upper class.

But no matter what kind of person Tang Xiaoliu was in his previous life, he only knew that Tang Xiaoliu in this life was a cute little brother.

Some time ago, Tang Xiaoliu's crazy look after confessing everything to him made him feel very distressed.

He is only fifteen years old now, although he doesn't understand why Tang Xiaoliu's obsession is so deep?

But he will accompany Tang Xiaoliu to fulfill his wish

Tang Xiaoliu stood up and turned to look at the forest down the mountain. "Third brother, I plan to take a look in the woods nearby."

"Okay, I'll accompany you." Tang Xiaosan replied.

There are many dangers hidden in the depths of the forest. All kinds of strange insects and snakes are hidden in the darkness, hiding on tree trunks, and ambushing among the leaves. , they are waiting for a suitable opportunity to transform you into a fairy in one fell swoop.

Tang Xiaoliu and Tang Xiaosan were not ordinary people. They relied on their powerful hearing, vision and agility to kill the creatures that regarded them as prey.

The animals that were eliminated were not wasted. Tang Xiaoliu divided them into several categories:

Those that can be used as medicine, those that can be eaten, those that can be sold for money and those that can be used as fertilizer.

Tang Xiao looked around. He had to be careful of possible dangers that might suddenly appear, and he also had to pay attention to what he was looking for.

Tang Xiaoliu was looking for some very important medicinal materials.

It can be used both as a seasoning and as a treatment.

This medicinal material is deeply loved by the Chinese people.

It has many surnames, but only one given name, and that is Pepper.

Pepper grows in shaded forests. It is spherical and has a diameter of 35 to 5 mm. The surface is dark brown with raised reticular wrinkles, tiny style remnants at the top, and scars from the ginkgo rachis falling off at the base.

Tang Xiaoliu and Tang Xiaosan shuttled through the forest, searching for a long time, and finally found this plant in a relatively open area.

Tang Xiaoliu was extremely excited! He carefully picked two small peppers. With a slight squeeze of his fingers, he could smell a very pungent gas.

That's right! This is pepper!

Very good! From now on, their meals will no longer taste the same and bland.

And pepper can cure many diseases!

It is mainly used to treat cold stomach pain, vomiting, diarrhea, epilepsy, windworm toothache, centipede bites, etc.

They found Pepper, and the seasick adult was saved!

They can make a minister seasick. Before boarding the ship, hold two peppers in your mouth, which can provide some relief (note: pepper cannot cure dizziness!!! This is a plot requirement and is privately designed!!!)

After finding Uncle Hu whom he needed, Tang Xiaoliu decided to pack his things and return home.

They use scissors to cut the peppers and put them into specially prepared bamboo tubes. The sealed environment can better retain the smell and freshness of the peppers.

The dazzling sunlight shines through the leaves, illuminating the path that the two teenagers must pass after returning home with a full load.

......................................................

Today is the last week of their stay in Southeast Asia for repairs. The envoys of the Tang Dynasty and the local rulers exchanged a lot of goods with each other.

Moreover, the local ruler also received the best wine given to him by Tang Xiaoliu (three bottles of distilled wine produced in Tangmen).

Tang Xiaoliu's move immediately gained the favor of the local rulers.

He agreed to three strange requests made by Tang Xiaoliu:

1. Provide Tang Xiaoliu with a large amount of black soil; prepare a large amount of wooden boxes for Tang Xiaoliu;

2 Let Tang Xiaoliu temporarily have the right to command all the people in a city;

3Allow them to collect small green prickly fruits.

The ruler was curious. Tang Xiaoliu had three opportunities to make three requests to him, but he didn't want gold or silver. He wants their soil?

Not only the local rulers were confused, but even the officials of the Tang Dynasty were full of curiosity about Tang Xiaoliu's request.

After guessing that the local manager agreed, Tang Xiaoliu's bloodline began to awaken!

Tang Xiaoliu ordered people to soak one-fifth of the soybeans brought from Datang in water.

Then Tang Xiaoliu ordered people to put the linen brought from the Tang Dynasty on the bottom of the wooden box, put the fertile black soil into the wooden box, and finally sent it all to the merchant ship of the Tang Dynasty.

Tang Xiaoliu took a group of officials from Datang to collect pepper from the place where they found pepper last time.

After they came back from collecting the pepper, they let the local citizens watch it dry.

On the last day before boarding the ship, Tang Xiaoliu ordered some local people to plant the soybeans they had soaked and sprouted a few days in advance in wooden boxes with black soil.

He also arranged for some people to put pepper into dry glass bottles.

After everything was ready, Tang Xiaoliu and his party left Southeast Asia. Go all the way east.
