my grandfather was qin shi huang

There are not many people on the island, and there are tall trees growing everywhere. These trees are different from Guanzhong. Most of them have wide leaves, and some even have a circle of green fruits growing on the high tops.

It is very different from the customs in Guanzhong and Shandong.

"Sir, these fruits look like papayas, but they are different from papayas. Although the outer shell is hard, the inside is delicious and juicy and can be eaten..."

The leader of the Ge family who followed us this time was called Ge Li. He was a man in his forties or fifties, with a dark complexion and a stocky build. He was wearing a smart short shirt and looked very capable.

He consciously introduced the situation on the island to Young Master Gao, showing the value of his caravan's existence.

"Further forward, there is a piece of flat land with slightly higher terrain, which can be used as a camp. In the past, when our family came and settled here, we would settle in that piece of land..."

Hearing this, Young Master Gao nodded with satisfaction.

This time, it is indeed a lot more convenient to bring the Ge family's fleet here.

It was not the first time for everyone to go to sea. The team quickly settled down, setting up tents and lighting fires. Some people had already built simple stoves with gravel from the island and started to cook. Water for cooking.

Ge Li got Gongzi Gao's affirmation and became more and more eager to perform.

"Sir, there don't seem to be any ferocious birds and beasts on these islands, but they are full of murderous intent. For example, some of the water sources on these islands contain the spirit of plague. Once people eat it by mistake, they will suffer from vomiting and diarrhea, and in mild cases, they will become seriously ill. , or you may lose your life..."

After saying that, he saw that Gongzi Gao just smiled very gently without any other reaction. Ge Li thought that his words did not attract enough attention from Gongzi Gao.

After hesitating for a moment, he repeated it again quite seriously.

"Master, when you are out at sea, you should not use water at will. If you cannot collect rainwater, try to use mountain spring water as much as possible. Don't be careless. These are the lessons that generations of our Ge family have learned with their lives..."

The young master smiled and nodded.

"I know. Thanks to Mr. Gao Yi, you don't have to worry. The Emperor's Grandson had already sent someone to give special instructions on these matters before we went to sea..."

At this point, he added very gently.

"Actually, in addition to collecting rainwater and using mountain spring water, there are actually methods of distilling seawater and charcoal filtration to obtain water sources. Moreover, just in case, it is best not to drink cold water directly from these places. You must burn it. You can drink it after opening it..."

At this time, Ge Li noticed that none of the people brought by Gongzi Gao, whether they were court officials or ordinary soldiers, drank cold water directly.

There were even a few people queuing up to wait for hot water while staring longingly at a pot.

Immediately he knew that what Mr. Gao said was true, but that he was a little self-righteous and was making a fool of himself.

The old face couldn't help but blush slightly.

Fortunately, he has been wandering on the sea all year round, exposed to the wind and sun, and his face is dark, whether it is red or not, it is hard to tell.

Young Master Gao was originally a very honest and gentle person. Seeing that Ge Li was silent at this time, he thought he was confused, so he gave some thoughtful advice.

"The emperor's grandson said that after the water is boiled, the plague spirit inside will be destroyed - of course, if there is living water, living water is the best..."

Although Ge Li felt slightly embarrassed, he secretly memorized these methods mentioned by Gongzi Gao.

Prepare to find an opportunity to learn more about distilling seawater and the method of filtering it with charcoal to obtain clean water. There is no telling when these methods will become life-saving cards for the children of the clan.

Although there are exquisitely decorated rooms on the ship, after a group of people have been drifting at sea for so long, who wants to continue to drift at sea if they can live ashore?

Gongzi Gao is no exception.

This down-to-earth feeling always makes people feel extra at ease.

Although it has entered late June, the nights on Wangqin Island are not as hot as expected. The cool night wind blows from the sea, bringing with it a refreshing smell.

Young Master Gao worked hard all day, and after a simple dinner, he was ready to rest.

However, as soon as he touched the bed, he heard the faint conversation between Lu Matong and the guards outside. It seemed that they wanted to see him.

He couldn't help but sit up with some surprise, and put on the robe he had taken off again.

Soon, he heard the guards outside cautiously asking for instructions.

"Young Master, General Lu would like to see you..."

"Invite him in..."

The master is a bit gentler, he doesn't have many deceptive ideas, and he doesn't have many great talents, but he is not stupid. Lu Matong's request to see him at this time will definitely not be without purpose.

"I pay my respects to the young master——"

As soon as Lu Matong entered the door, he hunched his waist, trotted two steps in a dog-legged manner, stepped forward and bowed high to the young master. Young Master Gao couldn't help but smile and shook his head.

"General Lu, you don't need to be like this..."

"The etiquette cannot be abolished, and the etiquette cannot be abolished. Even so, it is not enough to express my respect and admiration for you..."

Lu Matong's face became more humble and his tone became more respectful.

The young master smiled and shook his head, looked at Lu Matong who couldn't hide his joy, and asked in a very gentle tone.

"General Lu, you came to me suddenly at this time. Could it be that you have discovered something..."

Hearing this, Lu Matong nodded excitedly.

"When I was patrolling at night, I noticed that the Ge family living outside were acting strangely, so I personally led people to follow them secretly, and discovered their big secret..."

As he spoke, Lu Matong reached out and took out a piece of yellow and white stuff with an uneven surface that looked like dead wood, and held it in front of him like a treasure.

"Sir, please look, what is this..."

Young Master Gao stretched out his hand to take it with some confusion. It was very light, delicate and warm with a hint of astringency. He leaned in front of the light and looked carefully. He could see the subtle brown markings in it. What shocked him the most was that he There was a refreshing medicinal fragrance coming from the tip of my nose.

"This is spice!"

Young Master Gao couldn't help but his eyes lit up!
Seeing that Gongzi Gao had discovered the value of this piece of wood, Lu Matong nodded excitedly.

"I took people to take a look. This spice actually grows on trees, all over the mountains and plains, just like the rotten firewood in our country. If we take it back, we will really make a fortune..."

Naturally, Gongzi Gao also knew that if it was really a spice, how much value it contained.

He immediately put the piece of spice in his hand to the torch and lit it. The refreshing aroma of the medicine spread out immediately, making his whole body shake. Even his breathing felt refreshing!

His eyes couldn't help but light up.

"nice one!"

"Wang Qindao is the property of our imperial court. How can we allow outsiders to steal our imperial court's property at will? Do you want me to go out now and stop them..."

Young Master Gao couldn't help but feel excited after hearing this.

But after all, he was a kind person and couldn't do such a shameless thing. After pondering for a long time, he still shook his head.

"Forget it, after all, they discovered this first, and they had already agreed to let them go out on the ship to accompany them. Now that they have gone back on their word and robbed other people of their money, it looks a bit ugly after all..." Lu Matong hesitated. Without hesitation, he saluted the young master Gao Shen.

"Young Master is very righteous, but I was not thoughtful enough and almost ruined your reputation. Please forgive me..."

The young master smiled and waved his hand.

"General Lu also considers the imperial court and is commendable for his loyalty. There is nothing wrong with him..."

Today's unintentional discovery made both of them excited. They immediately gathered in Gongzi Gao's room to discuss for a long time, and finally finalized the plan for collecting spices the next day. Only then did Lu Ma Tong say goodbye and leave without any regrets.

It wasn't until they were very far away that Lu Matong couldn't help but stop, looked back at the tent where Young Master Gao was, and curled his lips secretly.

This Fourth Young Master is a bit pedantic after all.

If such a huge benefit were left outside, it would be enough to confiscate the family and exterminate the entire clan. How much credit would it be if they were brought back to Xianyang? Why did he care about his face and let the Ge family take it away!

However, he was full of slander in his heart, but he knew that all his wealth was tied to this young master.

If it weren't for this pedantic temperament, I might not be where I am today.

Early the next morning, when he saw Lu Matong standing in front of him with a few spices, Ge Li knew that the secret of his family had been discovered, and his face looked a little unnatural.

However, before that, they had no intention of continuing to enjoy the profits of these spices exclusively.

In fact, although they once drifted to this island by mistake and discovered this valuable spice on this island, they actually did not have the ability to bring this spice back intact.

In this era, private individuals simply did not have the ability to cross the ocean and deal with the storms on the sea.

Every voyage is almost a gamble.

Rather than keeping this secret, it is better to use the power of the court to transport more back. In fact, as long as you can successfully transport it back once, it is enough to be worth the huge risks that generations have taken, without even knowing that they will be damaged. How many benefits can the children of the clan bring.

If it is discovered later and can be transported a few more times before the secret is discovered, it will really be a big profit!

At this time, knowing that the secret had been discovered in advance, he had no choice but to accept this fact.

"The general came just in time, the villain is preparing to report to the young master——"

Speaking of this, Ge Li was very sincere.

"Yesterday, the people brought by the villain accidentally discovered an unknown spice on this island. This morning, I was about to report it to the young master, but I didn't expect that the general also discovered it. What a coincidence..."

"It's quite a coincidence——"

Lu Matong took over the words with a smile.

"I came here today just to tell you this news. The young master has decided to stay here for a few days to collect this spice for the court..."

After saying that, he cupped his hands meaningfully, turned around and left.

Behind him, Ge Li looked gloomy and uncertain. After hesitating for a long time, he finally couldn't let go of the benefits that he had already taken into his mouth, and whispered instructions to the followers around him.

"Notify them, there is no need to hide them, and do your best to collect them immediately. The sooner the better!"

Now that these spices have been discovered by the people of the imperial court, it is natural to seize them as quickly as possible while the people of the imperial court are not yet familiar with how to find and collect these spices.

After the order was passed on, he stood there and hesitated for a moment, then turned around and walked towards Ge Yun's camp.

Although he is an old man in the clan and is responsible for the clan's maritime trade, this matter has already been involved with the imperial court. After all, Ge Jun, a junior who is highly regarded by the prince, needs to mediate to prevent the imperial court from falling out on the spot. His family has nothing to gain.

This time going to sea is a major event related to the rise and fall of the family for hundreds of years.

Soon, the court people took action. Except for Fan Kuai and a few personal soldiers, almost everyone was sent out by Prince Gao to look for Chenxiang.

And he had already begun to take out the map and looked at the large expanse of dotted islands in front of him.

Eyes are getting brighter!

Sure enough, as my eldest nephew said, there are many treasures overseas and there is gold everywhere!

It's like picking it up for free.

In fact, it was just picking it up for nothing. In this era, this island is almost still a primitive island. Many natural spices are just thrown there like tatters, leaving them to be blown by the wind, sun, and dust.

Some are even thousands of years old.

It made people blush and heartbeat.

Even though Young Master Gao had a calm temper, his heart could not help but beat for a long time.

At noon, he personally carefully selected some older-looking spices from the spices sent back by his soldiers and had them delivered to Xu Fu.

To pray to the ghosts and gods for His Majesty's elixir of immortality, it is natural to burn the best spices.

I just hope that these newly obtained spices can win the favor of ghosts and gods and have miraculous effects.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn around and look far away in the direction of Xianyang.

Separated by the sea of ​​clouds, I wonder how Aweng's body is doing at this moment?

……

"Tell me, what's going on with your uncle's body?"

Zhao Ying looked down at the medical officers in front of him with a serious expression, and there was a hint of danger in his eyes. He was tall and burly, and he personally led the troops, an invincible general who swept across the desert and pacified the Yueshi. He had an aura of calmness and self-power.

This kind of aura was usually concealed by his gentle and humble words and deeds. At this time, when he turned serious, his aura immediately made Sun Li and others breathless.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Several people were trembling with sweat, and just when they were about to lose their strength, they suddenly heard a laugh and curse with a somewhat relaxed tone coming from the door.

"What's going on with my body? I just got a little cold from time to time. Why are you trying to scare them here..."

Having said this, he glanced at Sun Li and others who were as timid as quails, and frowned slightly.

"What are you still doing standing here? Why don't you get out of here quickly——"

Zhao Ying lost his momentum when he saw the First Emperor appearing.

Sun Li and others suddenly felt relieved. They secretly glanced at Zhao Ying, and when they saw Zhao Ying waving his hands impatiently, they immediately turned around and retreated as if they were being pardoned.

Without His Majesty's permission, and given them eighteen more courages, they would not dare to expose His Majesty's condition.

However, it was really scary when the emperor's grandson became angry. (End of chapter)
