Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 273 Trust Is Priceless
What the merchants showed was not happiness, but panic.

Liu Mu laughed heartily.

The biggest business done by merchants in the Tang Dynasty was grain, followed by tea, salt, and cloth.But businessmen are cheap, and Liu Mu is a noble person in their eyes.

Although the things Liumu does are more businessmen than businessmen, once these things are added with the meaning of diplomatic relations, then this matter is not called business affairs.Moreover, Liu Mu is still a son-in-law, although he does not have a title.

And the one who came with Liu Mu was Li Shimin, King Qin of the Tang Dynasty.

Not to mention Chang'an City right now, even the merchants traveling all over the world also believe in their hearts that King Qin is the real prince.

"Go, don't forget Tang Lv." Li Shimin just waved his hand like this, all the merchants heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly trotted away from the small hillside, none of the ten binoculars had been used.

"These guys." Liu Mu was speechless.

Li Shimin asked, "Why did you bother to recruit them?"

"Let them see what momentum is. Only in this way can they cooperate with each other with peace of mind." According to the thinking of modern people, there is nothing wrong with Liu Mu's doing so.

Li Shimin shook his head with a smile, and handed Liu Mu a telescope.

The sky was getting dark, and even with a telescope, I couldn't see the main entrance of the cattle and horse farm, but I saw two signs erected there.

"There is a brand, but I don't know it."

"The one on the left says, Qin Wang's Mansion Mirror. The one on the right says, Sinong Temple Mirror." Li Shimin explained to Liu Mu: "Fifty thousand cows, do you know how many cows there are in Chang'an? The news of fifty thousand cows is in the court. After the rumor spread, Si Nongqing sent eleven letters asking for rewards, all of which were for you."

Liu Mu rubbed his chin and didn't answer.

Li Shimin continued: "A cow was transported here from Youzhou. Some merchants calculated the cost. You only earned [-] Wen per cow. They all said that you lost money. The second brother asked you, did you lose money?"

"What does the second brother think?"

"It's not a loss. Even if a cow pays a hundred yuan, it's earned. First of all, a cow is an attitude. The father is very happy. Just because of this, it is laughable to pay a hundred thousand yuan. What's more, I heard that If there are beef cattle, merchants will definitely not dare to buy them, and the nobles in Chang’an will increase the price by [-]% to buy them.”

Li Shimin didn't need to explain this to Liu Mu.

Beef cattle are much cheaper than farm cattle when purchased, but they are more expensive when sold, because the Tang Dynasty does not allow cattle to be slaughtered.Beef cattle are authorized by the palace, and the nobles are willing to spend double the money to eat beef legally, and there are rumors that the meat is tender and tender.

Liu Mu heard Li Shimin stop, and then said: "Second brother, are you finished?"

Li Shimin looked around, and then said: "One more thing is to take Sibang for your own use. The idea is very good, but the second brother tells you, do you think they can be sincere? Also, do you think Cui Yiye is willing to work for you."

"Otherwise?" Liu Mu asked back.

"Don't believe me." Li Shimin warned Liu Mu solemnly.

Liu Mu laughed loudly: "Second brother, wait and see."

"It's okay, they have some troubles, the second brother has sent a letter to Youzhou, and let them know the rules." Li Shimin is indeed secretly protecting Liu Mu, for which Liu Mu is grateful.

But Liu Mu still said: "Second Brother, I will give you a gift next summer. This gift is the loyalty letter of these four clans, and their patriarchs will come to Chang'an to kneel in front of you in person."

"Okay, second brother is waiting. Then how do you want second brother to thank you for this gift?"

"I want to help Silla Kinderman become the Queen of Silla. In the next ten years, the second brother will be angry with me for this matter."

Li Shimin's eyes became sharper. Although Liu Mu didn't want to turn his head, he could still feel the change of Li Shimin's aura. He only heard Li Shimin say word by word: "Ten years is very short to destroy Goguryeo. However, the second brother will give Lan Ruo The child of a Silla woman will be crowned a county king, and the child of a Silla woman will not be granted any title."

"Second brother is so stingy." Liu Mu answered with a smile.

When he said this, Liu Mu was actually very nervous, because Liu Mu felt that he might have touched Li Shimin's taboo, the taboo of being an emperor.

Li Shimin laughed loudly: "You are so greedy, isn't one county king enough?"

"Did the second brother think that there was something for Kinderman staying at my place that night?"

"Isn't it?" Li Shimin asked in surprise.

"What's this called, yellow mud falling on the crotch." Liu Mu smiled wryly.Li Shimin smiled: "It seems that there is no such thing. But the second brother doesn't understand, why do you want to support Kinderman as the queen?"

Liu Mu smiled bitterly: "Can you keep it secret?"

"Okay, let you keep it secret for a while. You understand the time limit." Li Shimin believed that Liu Mu understood and could keep it secret until he became the emperor. Once he sat on the throne, Liu Mu had to give himself an explanation for this matter.

Liu Mu also wanted to know how he should answer.

I can't tell Li Shimin that when I was a writer, no matter when I was writing about Ming, Song, or Tang, one of the things I had to do in my novels was to destroy the Japanese.

I have time traveled by myself, and YY has done countless things in the novel, so why not do it now that there is a ready opportunity.

Just for this reason, how could it be possible to say it.

Liu Mu asked again: "Second brother, if I found a mountain made of silver and some people there are not very friendly, can I borrow some soldiers to beat them?"

Li Shimin laughed so hard that his stomach hurt, and he thought how could there be such a mountain in the world.

However, Li Shimin still replied to Liu Mu: "If it is true, the second brother will bring 10 people to conquer."

Liu Mu changed the subject: "Second brother, thank you for your trust." Liu Mu handed a piece of paper to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin took it and looked at it, but it was a mountain map, and then there was a checkpoint without a name, and a few ink dots were dotted on the mountain map.

"What is this?"

"Tongguan, there is an open-pit gold mining belt in Jianchaling in the Xiaoqinling Mountains, which is ten miles long. It can be dug out for a few million taels. If you look around, there are gold deposits of [-] shi."

Liu Mu knew that there was a gold mine in Tongguan, but when later generations visited a place that had been dug up and abandoned when they traveled, so I remembered the approximate location and believed that someone in Datang would be able to find this gold mine, and it was an open-pit mine.

Li Shimin's hands were shaking. The huge amount of gold mines represented not just wealth, but capital.

Possessing huge capital is conducive to the struggle for the throne in the early stage, and it is beneficial to consolidate the imperial power in the later stage.

In a few breaths, Li Shimin had already thought about the candidates for the guard of Tongguan, and replaced them all with his own people, and then went to mine gold.

Liu Mu said at this time: "Second brother, when that day comes, you will bestow the gods on my patriarch."

The patriarch is naturally Lao Tzu, Liu Mu dare not say that this is his master, only that he is the patriarch.After all, Liu Mu knew that in the history of later generations, Li Shimin recognized Lao Tzu as his ancestor.
