Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 353 Stealing?

Obviously, Liu Mu had something to say.

The banquet quickly fell silent, and Liu Mu raised his glass with both hands and stepped forward:

"I've almost drunk the wine today. Let me talk about it. I made a mistake in calculating one thing, that is, how many velvet flowers are [-] mu, and transporting so much back to Chang'an, let alone the freight is very expensive. The trouble is that I am in Chang'an. The workshop is only that big. So we built a white cloth workshop in Xingzhou."

Cui Miao was taken aback for a moment, then laughed loudly: "I knew it earlier, the old man brought you the library at home."

"You don't need to carry it, just borrow someone to copy it for me."

The two of them bowed their hands to each other, and that's the end of this topic. This sentence is enough for them in their status.As for how to change the previous agreement, etc., there are special people who will negotiate.

"General Han, the sages have set some rules. For example, in my Huayuan steel workshop, there is no one with an ID card, let alone a human being, even a rabbit will be shot with random arrows. I don't know if King Jiaodong is with you. A merciless archer?"

Han Shi stood there stunned, he just didn't know how to answer.

Li Daoyan immediately said: "Three thousand strong archers will be in place immediately, not to mention a rabbit, even a mouse without a waist card and shoot him a hundred and eighty arrows."

Hahaha!
Liu Mu and Li Daoyan laughed at the same time.

"Xingzhou Jiangangfang, location, scope, required ore, ingredients ore area." Liu Mu put a scroll in his arms on the table: "What is missing is the instructions of the sage. Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, I can get it from the sage." Instructions, annual output of one million stones of wrought iron and five million stones of pig iron, Brother Wang?"

Li Daoyan felt his palms sweating.

Datang's pig iron output last year was about 160 million catties.However, Liumu wants to have a workshop of his own that is five times the annual output of Datang. If this is written in the imperial decree, if he can't do it, it is not a matter of being lowered, and he may even lose his head.

"Brother Wang, can I tell a joke?"

"You speak!"

"If I were in charge of Xingzhou, this amount would be tripled, at least." Liu Mu sat cross-legged on his wine table, put a plate of pig ears on his lap, and ate and drank by himself.

Times are different, ideas are different.

Liu Mu knew that steel was the core of his time-traveling game. With steel, he would run across the world. Without steel, he could only show his prestige in Chang'an.

If Li Daoyan knew that after 400 years, the annual steel production in this land of China would be equivalent to 200 billion stones.

Li Daoyan slowly took off his crown, which represented his status as a prince.

"Please take my tiara back to Chang'an to show my will."

Immediately afterwards, Han Shizhen's leader seal and dozens of general seals were placed next to Li Daoyan's crown.

Hahaha!
Liu Mu laughed again, this time not raising a wine glass, but a wine bottle: "Come on, drink."

Willow took a few sips, and his body shook slightly: "Ah, I mentioned in a letter that day that there is a businessman surnamed Duan, but he is here."

The door opened, and a guard came in with one person.

Little businessman, there is no seat for him at this banquet, even if he is hungry to eat and drink inside, he will wait outside.Or if Liu Mu forgot today, then the little businessman will have to wait tomorrow.

When he was brought in, the little businessman was very nervous and sat on the ground when his legs gave way.

Liu Mu took out a small wooden box from the bag he was carrying, then sat down cross-legged in front of the businessman, and handed the wooden box over.

When the wooden box was opened, it was a very small eating dish, that is, a small dish dipped in vinegar.

Snapped!
Liu Mu slapped the businessman on the shoulder, frightening the businessman to the point of paralysis.

Only then did Liumu speak: "Have you heard my name, I am Sanyuan Liumu."

"Listen, I have." The businessman nodded repeatedly.

Liu Mu asked again: "Have I ever made that businessman lose money, intentionally harmed that businessman, and cheated whose money?"

"No, no!" The businessman shook his head again and again.

"That's good, here is a list. Before the New Year, I want you to give me the items on this list for free, only the top grade..." This time before Liu Mu finished speaking, the businessman hurriedly said: "Even if the family goes bankrupt, you can't give me anything." Don’t dare miss anything on the list.”

Liu Mu pointed at the businessman: "Is this guy drunk and saying such stupid things?"

Cui Miao pulled a cushion by herself and sat down, and said, "I don't think Mr. Mu Lang is a man who steals and plunders. You can listen to it before you speak."

"Yes, yes." The businessman knew that this was a member of the Qinghe Cui family, a top wealthy family, and he was also a dignitary with status as an elder of the clan.

"Tell me about porcelain. Xing porcelain is like snow, and Yue porcelain is like ice. There are thirteen famous porcelain kilns on my list. I asked the sage for five gold medals, and the gold medals were written to the famous royal kilns of the Tang Dynasty. There are only five famous kilns and famous porcelains that can be crowned with the name of Datang Royal, and those with this name are eligible to let me get some porcelain for free."

These sound very weird, and if they are replaced by those who are not smart, they still think that this is stealing and usurping.

So does the businessman.

"I don't understand. There are four characters of Datang Royal, and the price of porcelain shipped to the Western Regions is twice as high. Why? Because this is the top porcelain recognized by the Datang Royal. Not to mention the quantity, the order of porcelain in my hand is only one item." There are 17 Dan, will it be counted?"

The businessman slammed his head on the ground: "My Duan family has 97 people, thank you for your kindness."

"Speaking of next year, if your porcelain is inferior to other famous kilns next year, I will take back the gold medal. Of course, you don't need to provide me with some tribute, so that I can send it to the palace to be tasted by the saints."

"Thank you for your kindness." The businessman kowtowed and saw blood on the spot.

A businessman, he has been in business for many years, and he understands the meaning of Liu Mu's words.What the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty could fancy and use, this is not an ordinary thing, if it is not ordinary, how can it be at an ordinary price.

Not to mention the small amount of porcelain on the list, even if it was increased tenfold, the merchant would still be grateful to Liumu.

"Don't thank me, thank you, the famous craftsman in the kiln. The saint tasted tea one day, and he hesitated to use your teacup and Yueyao teacup. That set of teacups is really good. You deserve this reward, but still the same sentence, porcelain Once the quality of the kiln drops, the gold medal will be withdrawn. Next year's Dragon Boat Festival, the thirteen kiln contests will determine the ownership of the gold medal for the next three years."

The businessman held the small plate made by himself and burst into tears with excitement, but he couldn't even utter a word.

Liu Mu went back to his desk and took out several other small boxes from his bag.

The first small box I opened was a wine glass, made of celadon.

Liu Mu gently pushed over: "The pinnacle of Yaozhou kiln, the kiln made a blood oath in front of the kiln to win the gold medal at the Dragon Boat Festival next year. What do you think of this cup?"

Porcelain is not just a container, it represents a tradition, a culture, and even a spirit.

Only the nobles can afford the real high-quality porcelain.
