Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 172 The Tentative Talk with the Princess of Silla (Part [-])
Liumu needs technology, but Kinderman is still under pressure.

After looking up at Liu Mu's expression, Kinderman leaned down: "I ask for two sets of crystal cups. I would like to exchange them with gold of corresponding value."

Liu Mu laughed: "Two sets of cups are just for you. Add another 2 men to send over. I want people who live by the sea and can handle boats. Together with the [-] people in front, I will pay them as promised. I will pay them Convert it into goods and give it to you, and then you send it to them. But there is a requirement, the actual number they get, I want to know, it can’t be too low. People can’t say that we, Datang, are bullying people.”

"Women workers are willing to send [-] women workers, and there must be [-] skilled weaver girls."

Liu Mu is not an official, not even a title.But Kinderman has always claimed to be the daughter of the minister of the country, she dare not have the slightest arrogance, she has no idea what Liu Mu is.

After hearing Kinderman's words, Liu Mu wrote a few words on the paper with a homemade pencil, thought for a while and threw the note into the tea stove, and wrote another one, folded it up and asked the maid to send it to Kinderman.

Kinderman trembled after reading it, and then threw the note into the stove and burned it.

After burning the note, Kinderman bent down and saluted Liu Mu.

Liu Mu said again: "Finally, there are some things I want to buy from Silla, and I will send you a list."

After speaking to Kinderman, Liu Mu bowed to Concubine Wan Gui: "Please allow Xiaomin to leave first." After Concubine Wan Gui nodded, Liu Mu got up and left.

After Liu Mu left, he went to see Li Yuan immediately.

It's not a big deal to write a note in private, but it must be explained at this time.

When he came to Li Yuan, Liu Mu reported: "Sage, I wrote two names on that note, namely Li Yuanjing and Jin Shengman."

"Who is Jin Shengman?" Li Yuan didn't know Silla very well.

Liu Mu replied, "It's the niece of the current King of Silla."

"Yuan Jing is only seven years old, but it's not impossible. It's just..." Li Yuan smiled: "I'm afraid it's not that simple."

"The sage is wise. However, Xiaomin is very simple here. He just wants to earn more money to support his family. Business is cheap, but there are mutual contacts between countries. This is not a business, and no one will scold me. Earn some money , Those who work also have money, and this is the only way to be rich. So many people need to eat, so many people need to be clothed, and the people are very miserable.”

Li Yuan laughed loudly, Liu Mu's incoherent, repetitive and chaotic words made him laugh.

Crying, you willow is not bitter at all.

At this time, Li Yuan suddenly had a thought: "Then what good is it?"

Asking this question, Li Yuan was purely for fun, not really asking for any benefits, but Liu Mu took it seriously.

Liu Mu said very seriously: "Saint, Xiaomin made a bet with His Royal Highness King Qin before, to make the ladies of Quan Chang'an envy Princess Changping, does the saint know?"

"Well, this matter is interesting, but I know it, not just the noble ladies in Chang'an, but anyone who knows this mirror is envious. Some troubles happened in Hanshi and Qingming, so I won't talk to you about the troubles, just The matter of the reward was delayed. After I came back, I asked the Ministry of Rites to distribute the reward according to the rules, and you guessed the result."

Liu Mu shook his head: "I can't guess, it could be that someone has robbed others of their rewards."

Li Yuan laughed, and did not explain that someone dared to snatch the royal reward. He only said: "The courtiers are about to go to court before dawn, but the gate of the Ministry of Rites is blocked. Women can't even wait for half a day, can't wait." When you go to the Ministry of Rites and send people to deliver them to your home, many of them personally bring your servants and servants to the Ministry of Rites to collect them yourself."

Li Yuan smiled very happily.

This year's cold food festival rewards have saved the palace too much. A vanity box with a mirror is estimated to be worth [-] yuan on the black market in Chang'an.

And there is a price but no market, it is impossible for anyone to sell it secretly.

One hundred thousand yuan is one hundred guan, the price of a high-end BMW.The price of fifteen good Turkic horses.

In exchange for food, according to this year's market price, it is five hundred shi of rice.

But in fact, Li Yuan is one of the few people who knows the value. A dressing box with a mirror only costs a stone of rice, and the cost includes the money of the craftsman and the wood.

"The sage can issue another order. If the official's family is married this year, give them another set."

"Okay!" Li Yuan liked this suggestion very much. The amount of rewards was based on the horse-drawn carriage. The gift of mirrors is very good, and it is high-end and elegant.Li Yuan said again: "Is that crystal cup still in trial production?"

"Yes, the saint, he is still trying new formulas. If it is pure and bright, it cannot be relied on luck. Xiaomin's one is one of a hundred, and the success rate is too high."

The willow glass is pure white and translucent crystal glass. This one is no different from a mirror. The mirror has a little bit of green, and nothing can be seen after the flat plate is turned into a mirror, but the glass is not good.

Li Yuan asked again: "If the crystal cup is solved, then the clairvoyance will not be far away."

"Well, there is still a little trouble, but it is not far away." Liu Mu replied truthfully.

Li Yuan ended the topic about glass, and asked before: "Xiao Mu, what do you want to say to me about the bet you made with the King of Qin just now?"

"Saint, when the first snow falls in winter, Xiaomin can make [-] people go to the gate of the palace to thank the Holy Grace from the bottom of their hearts."

"Nonsense." Li Yuan's face darkened: "I probably guessed your intentions. I don't need the praise of all people. If you want to give the people of Chang'an a warm winter, you will start to do it in autumn. I like to see surprises."

"Yes, Xiaomin is confused, and dare not have such thoughts again." Liu Mu quickly blamed himself.

Li Yuan didn't blame Liu Mu, but said: "Love the people and heart, the people are good, and the Tang Dynasty is stable, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and I am happy." At this point, Li Yuan said to Liu Mu: "Go out and ask Peng Hai to come in."

Liu Mu did as he said.

After Peng Hai came in, Li Yuan said: "Peng Hai, you choose a reliable person to go to Bingzhou to convey my meaning. Let Shubao know that I am waiting for his good news. Go to Chang'an yourself and tell Erlang that I will send someone What did you say when you went to Bingzhou?"

"Yes." Peng Hai withdrew as he said.

At this time, Liu Mu didn't know how to speak. This plan was initiated by him, but it was the result of the Qin Palace's concerted efforts to truly turn it into a strategic idea.

Li Yuan gave Liu Mu a chance to solve the embarrassment: "Xiaomu, I still like some of your ideas, but you are young. It depends on the matter. If you feel that you can't hold it, don't hold on. I have you."

These words really moved Liu Mu: "Saint, I..."

Li Yuan waved his hand, signaling Liu Mu to stop talking, Li Yuan said: "I'm a little tired today, let's watch their game early tomorrow, and tell me in the afternoon if you have any new ways to play."

"Yes, Xiaomin will leave." Liu Mu saluted and retreated.
