Another year has passed, and Dali's New Year is not as cold as Chang'an, but there is still a hint of coolness when parting.

Just after the New Year, Li Shan is about to set off. In ancient times, sailboats that sailed entirely on the power of the wind had to move according to the time, and if they wanted to go to sea, they had to set off before the winter monsoon ended, otherwise they would be tired to death when the monsoon stopped and rowed far away by manpower.

Ruyan's belly has been erected, she is seven or eight months pregnant, and she will give birth in two months. But Li Shan can't wait for the child to be born, and he can't rush back before the birth.

Liu Ruyan knew that when Li Shan set off, she didn't mention the child's affairs at all. She knew that Li Shan's trip was related to the fate of Dali Kingdom, and compared to the burden on Li Shan's shoulders, the weight of a child seemed a little lighter.

And the most envious of these Su Jinxi and Long Xueling should be Yang Miaoling, because Yang Miaoling is the only one who can set off with Li Shan. Although Li Shan didn't plan to bring Yang Miaoling at the beginning, he couldn't stand Yang Miaoling's soft grinding and hard bubbles, and Yang Miaoling's business acumen was not inferior to Zhang Yanzhao, which was also a big help for Li Shan.

Li Shan took Charlie, Mark, Ah San, Zhang Yanzhao, Zhuo Cheng, Yang Miaoling and Yunfei to the port of Thanh Hoa at a gallop.

Thanh Hoa Port is the largest port on the Annam border coastline, and 10 ships have been docked here for more than a month. Two thousand crew members carefully selected from the Dali Army and the Heaven and Earth Society have been adapting to the building for a period of time, they are all fishermen or crew members who have already driven the boat, and now Li Shan has specially invited an experienced helmsman to be the captain to ensure that the voyage is foolproof.

Li Shan was still very confident in this voyage, and before specifying this plan, Li Shan carefully consulted the literature and also learned about the Tang Dynasty's ocean-going capabilities. The Maritime Silk Road had been established by this time, and the Tang Dynasty's fleet had been able to reach the Indian Ocean very smoothly and had the ability to reach parts of Africa. However, because of the existence of the Silk Road, no one has reached the Cape of Good Hope and reached Europe.

The two Europeans in Li Shan's hands were very lucky people, they actually passed the Cape of Good Hope and reached China, but they themselves did not know what route they were taking. But it also provided Li Shan with a good sailing experience, and with them, Li Shan had the confidence to find the Cape of Good Hope and reach Europe, and even the New World discovered by Columbus, the Americas. Everything will be fine.

"Vomit, vomit, vomit"

In most cases, the ideal is plump, but the reality is often very backbone.

As soon as they got on board, the ocean gave this group of reckless people a simple lesson, seasickness. More than 2,000 crew members have been acclimatizing to the sea for more than a month and will not get seasick again. However, Li Shan, Zhang Yanzhao, Zhuo Cheng, Yang Miaoling and even Yunfei have not yet gone through this process.

As soon as they got on the boat, several people developed symptoms of seasickness one after another. The shaking of the hull caused by the waves crashing against the hull of the boat will give people a trance-like feeling, and slowly form vertigo, followed by vomiting.

The excitement of getting on the boat and setting sail at the beginning didn't make a few people feel too much, and waited until the excitement had passed. The few people who were laughing and laughing were very tacitly silent. Everyone was holding back the nausea in their chests.

The biggest reaction turned out to be Yunfei, perhaps because of his martial arts practice, he was more sensitive to subtle changes, and the shaking of the hull made him very uncomfortable.

Li Shan patted Yunfei's shoulder and said, "If you want to vomit, just vomit, don't bear it." ”

Yunfei directly vomited on the deck with a "vomit", which caused a chain reaction. The other people who could bear it couldn't help it all at once, and quickly found a place to vomit by themselves.

Several people were now sitting on the bow of the boat, one holding a barrel and vomiting to their heart's content. There's no good way to do it, the only way is to get used to it.

Yun Fei said weakly: "Li Shan, why didn't you tell me how seasickness feels before?" If you had told me, I wouldn't have come. ”

Li Shan vomited twice more and said, "How do I know that seasickness is how it feels?" I never got seasick again. ”

Li Shan's previous life was actually on a boat, and he didn't get seasick, but he didn't expect that there would be times when his memory was pitfalling. This body turned out to be seasick, which Li Shan didn't expect.

Yang Miaoling came to Li Shan, she was also seasick, and her face was a little pale. To Li Shandao: "A method given to me by the master can relieve the symptoms of seasickness. Take Neiguan acupressure massage, and I'm getting better now. ”

The Neiguan acupoint is located in the middle of the forearm, two inches above the wrist striae, and the acupoint is taken between the flexor carpi radialis tendon and the palmaris longus tendon.

Yang Miaoling pressed Li Shan intently, and sure enough, Li Shan's symptoms were also alleviated.

Li Shan smiled: "I'll also press it for you." As he spoke, he also grabbed Yang Miaoling's hand, took her into his arms, and massaged her.

Yun Fei said: "You two are tired of it, I won't be here to get in the way, I'll find a place to vomit." As he spoke, he jumped directly onto the mast and flew to the top of the ship. However, due to seasickness, my feet were still a little stumbling when I landed, and I almost didn't fall.

Li Shandao: "Actually, you really don't have to come with you, you have to suffer hardships and sins along the way, how can you stand it as a girl?" ”

Yang Miaoling said: "I'm fine, I've been doing business with my father since I was a child, and I suffered a lot when I was a child." Do you think I was born rich and rich? My father only started the family in the past few years, and when I was a child, I often carried the goods sold on my back alone, and my tired hands and feet were blistered with blood at that time. ”

Yang Miaoling is indeed the poorest of Li Shan's wives, although Jinxi is in a brothel, but after all, she is the top brand, and she is also taken care of by the bustard, and she does not suffer too much. Yang Miaoling really came up from the bottom, and her hands were not so smooth, but a little rough. Although I don't do those menial jobs anymore, the traces left by the years are not so easy to erase.

Li Shan stroked Yang Miaoling's face, the two of them got along more during this time, and they became more intimate with each other. To say that Yang Miaoling's liking for Li Shan at the beginning was actually more because of Li Shan's power and talent. However, as the relationship between the two progressed, Yang Miaoling discovered that Li Shan was a person completely different from this world, and his values were very different from what Yang Miaoling imagined. But it is Li Shan's unique thinking that makes Yang Miaoling more and more determined to follow Li Shan without hesitation, and she believes that Li Shan will make a different career.
