Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 628 The Ore in the Shiphouse
After listening to Li Shentong's self-report of his family property, Liu Mu shook his head: "Hold the piano and hold the lamp."

Baoqin ordered a few maids to light up all the lights in the bottom warehouse and lead people out of the bottom warehouse.

Under the candlelight, Changsun Wuji and the others were incomparably puzzled by the strangely shiny stones. It was Li Shentong who looked at them carefully and asked, "Why do you put so much silver ore on board?"

"Change the ship." Liu Mu didn't answer, but left the bottom warehouse.

When he was on the deck, Liu Mu said to Liu Rengui: "My third sister is here, why don't you take her to experience the Japanese island style."

"Business matters." Liu Rengui didn't say a word, but he knew very well that Liu Mu might want to make a big deal, so it was impossible for him to affect the big deal because of his personal affairs.

Soon, Liu Mu took the four of them to another boat.

After getting on the boat, he first ordered to go to sea, and he went to the shore and anchored at a distance of nearly twenty miles from the shore.

Liu Mu held a cup of tea and sat at the head. A dozen men in short jackets entered the big warehouse, saluted Liu Mu and stood aside.

Liu Mu said: "They will tell a huge secret. Anyone who hears this secret, whoever betrays Datang, will definitely kill the whole clan, and even kill the three clans. These 13 people will not be able to do it for many years in the future. Freedom, every word and deed is under surveillance, or in a place where there is no contact with the outside world."

"This is not in line with my laws of the Tang Dynasty." Changsun Wuji immediately objected.

The citizens of the Tang Dynasty cannot be imprisoned for non-felony crimes. This is clearly stipulated in the Tang law.

Liu Mu said again: "Each of them will have the title of a county son, and their apprentices all have county barons, and they can bring their families with them, but after the family members participate, they will also lose their freedom. They are voluntary."

"You wait voluntarily." Changsun Wuji asked immediately.

Without waiting for these people to answer, Liu Mu asked Changsun Wuji: "Uncle Changsun Guo, don't you ask why this happened?"

"Why?" Changsun Wuji then asked.

Li Shentong motioned for those people to sit down: "Don't worry, you speak slowly. Datang is fair."

"We are all voluntary. To put it another way, if this secret is heard by others, I am afraid that I will be arrested, so it is better to be protected like this. And I also become a person with a title. Servants, rich clothes and fine food."

"Tell me." Li Shentong became interested.

Liu Mu said to the thirteen captains of the exploration team: "This, King Zhun'an, is the uncle of the current emperor. This uncle of the eldest grandson, whose sister is the current queen of the eldest grandson, is now in charge of the Donggang Shipping Department. This Mr. Pei, The Deputy Envoy of the Donggang Shipping Department. The last one is General Liu, the Deputy Envoy of the Donggang Shipping Department."

After Liu Mu explained his identity, the oldest among the 13 people stood up: "Master Liu Lang took us to a secret place. To be honest, we don't know what it is now. But we do know, There are thousands of silver mines in the whole mountain, or it can be said that it is a silver mine, an indescribably huge silver mine."

"How big is it?" Li Shentong asked.

"Incalculable, indescribable, incalculable."

"Even if you can't estimate it, do you have an approximate number?" Li Shentong said in his heart, how could there be no number.

After the 13 people bowed their heads and discussed a few words, the oldest person still said: "The whole mountain is full of silver mines, endless. I really can't estimate the specific amount."

"Liu Mu." Changsun Wuji had no choice but to ask Liu Mu.

Liu Mu shook his head: "I don't know how many there are, the number is countless. But I personally estimate that all the cash in the world in the Tang Dynasty combined is less than one-tenth of this silver mountain. The silver in this silver mountain is melted into Silver bricks can replace the bricks and stones of Chang'an City. Of course there may be more, the number is unknown."

The four of them couldn't close their mouths in shock.

After a long time, Li Shentong asked, "Tell me, how many people know about this?"

Conception pointed to the boathouse, and said, "Chang'an City, there are still nine big figures who know about it. Ah, ten."

Without Liu Mu's explanation, Li Shentong also understood that it must be the Supreme Emperor, the saint, the left and right servants of the Shangshu, and six Shangshu, a total of ten people.

There are also some ore samples on this ship.

Li Shentong and Changsun Wuji asked for a full hour, asking all the details clearly. 13 People naturally know everything and say everything.

Pei Shiqing was willing to be a scribe, and recorded all the conversations.

Liu Mu was holding a teacup and sitting at the top, sipping tea steadily.

An hour later, Changsun Wuji signaled the thirteen survey team leaders to leave the boathouse, and then asked Liu Mu, "Is this huge silver mine on Wa Island?"

"En." Liu Mu nodded.

"The location, I guess even the Japanese don't know it, do they?"

"Yes." Liu Mu nodded again.

Changsun Wuji sat next to the willow tree and said in a low voice: "I dare not decide on this matter. You are more courageous than me, but this matter has to be decided by the sage. It is necessary to kill all the Japanese nobles just for this silver mine." Yes, but this requires a rigorous and well-planned plan. I don’t want to record Tang’s bad deeds in the history books in the future.”

"History is written by the victors. We helped the Japanese change from slaves to civilians, overthrew the brutal rule and oppression of the slave owners, led the Japanese to live a happy life, and learned the five constants of human relations."

As soon as Liu Mu's words fell, Li Shentong clapped his hands: "Well said, this is the truth."

Changsun Wuji said: "This matter requires two official officials with status to report to Chang'an. My opinion is to ask Mr. Pei and King Zhun'an to work hard. Right now, the silver mine should be dug immediately, or wait for Chang'an. There are exactly five people here, let’s come out with an attitude.”

Changsun Wuji personally prepared five pieces of paper and asked everyone to silently write their own choices.

Li Shentong asked, "I haven't asked yet, the location of this mine."

"It's not important." Changsun Wuji said and distributed the pieces of paper to everyone.

Soon, the five pieces of paper were returned to Changsun Wuji, who opened them one by one and put them on the table.

The five pieces of paper all decided to dig.

"Then, the next step is the second step, how to dig." Changsun Wuji asked again.

"The location of the mine is here. I have a simple plan. Suga Ezo will lend us a small, unremarkable port, and then we will send heavy troops to guard it, and then use slaves to dig."

Willow was naturally prepared.

Just as Changsun Wuji commented on Liu Mu, Liu Mu is a genius in strategy and second-rate in tactics.

Liu Mu's plan has many loopholes.

But it doesn't matter, Li Shentong's staff team and Changsun Wuji's staff team.These people are enough to perfect the details of this plan, and they have the great talent of Changsun Wuji to check it.
