Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 735 Coconut Abaca Brown

Liu Mu stood beside the long case and opened the boxes one by one.

The first box took out a piece of dog's head gold.

"This is the last treasure, gold, a gold mine. This thing has no official documents from the imperial court, and no one dares to reach out. Even if it is tens of millions away from Chang'an."

That's right, there is no official official document on the gold mine, so no one dares to reach out.

The same is true for willows. Gold mines must never be dug secretly.

Another thing, a black ball, which no one present had ever seen.Liu Mu sent people to Feng An to inquire about it, but Feng An had never seen this thing.

Liu Mu doesn't know when coconuts were introduced to China, but the place of origin is indeed Luzon Island.

Since even Feng An doesn't know what it is, then there will definitely not be in other places in the Central Plains. If it is introduced, it must be Qiongdao first. There is no Qiongdao, and there is no Lingnan. , but Liu Mu never sent anyone to look for him.

Liu Mu took out a horizontal knife from the side shelf, swung it round, and split the black ball in half with one knife.

This has been sitting so long that the coconut meat has turned yellow and sour and the coconut milk is almost dry.

"This thing, when it is fresh, it is full of light milky white sweet juice, which is very delicious. Then the pulp can be pressed for oil, first cold pressed and then hot pressed. The first-class cold-pressed oil is as pure as water and delicious. The second-class oil It can be applied on the body to prevent wind and sand, or have other uses, and the Medical Sacred Hall will study it."

"Let's talk about the shell, it's a good brown."

Liu Mu opened a box and took out a three-inch brown mat: "I just sent people to explore the way, so I got very few back. I made a trial brown mat, and this thing has countless uses."

After speaking, Liu Mu stepped aside.

The seven principals all stepped forward. They may not understand, but they still have the vision of being a top nobleman.

There are several bottles of this oil, and the squeeze is not good enough, after all, it is just an experiment.

Two quarters of an hour later, Zheng Yuanxuan asked Liu Mu, "How many are there?"

"Looking around, there are countless within a thousand miles. There is nothing particularly good in Qiandao, that is, sugar cane, rice, coconut trees, abaca, and gold mines. We need to grow sugar cane and rice by ourselves, and the other three can be blindfolded. Go, open your eyes, there must be one, and the gold mine is the same."

Porphyrin pass.

Cui Yuan fell to the ground with his head, Liu Mu was startled, and rushed to save him.

But before Liu Mu stepped forward, Zheng Yuanxuan's legs softened and he sat on the ground.

"Come here..." Liu Mu shouted at the top of his voice.

The garden immediately became chaotic, with countless people running, whether it was fetching medicine, preparing hot water, etc., they worked hard for half an hour before they calmed down.

Liu Mu's hair was also messed up, his face was flushed, and his neck was full of sweat.

A young man walked up to Liu Mu and handed him a dry towel and a cup of hot tea.

Liu Mu took it and said, "Thank you, what's your name?"

"Wang Chongji, your brother-in-law of the same clan."

"Ha, haha." Liu Mu laughed dryly.

Wang Chongji sat at the side: "Brother Yiye told me that the first thing you have to learn when you come here is to be courageous, to buy and sell whatever you want, regardless of the weight or the car."

"When... will he arrive?" Liu Mu didn't comment on Cui Yiye, but only asked when Cui Yiye would come here.

Wang Chongji replied: "He wants to go back to Qinghe to pick up his family. I heard that the Cui family selected more than a dozen outstanding children, and half of them will be sent to Wa Island. They don't need salary. They work part time and study part time, hoping that they will be successful in the future."

Liu Mu nodded and said nothing.

In fact, the Ministry of Officials already had official documents for this kind of official-level internship program, but I didn't go to get the official documents to take a look.

Wang Chongji said again: "Are you really blindfolded and walking casually, and seeing coconuts and abacas when you open your eyes?"

"The abaca there is like the weeds in your home, and the coconut palm there is one of the main tree species. It cannot be said that it is there, but it is true according to the specific area. There are high mountains and dense forests, and there are countless thousand-year-old trees in the forest. , There are no abaca and coconut trees here, like places near the sea, there are many, very many."

Liu Mu didn't remember that there were records about Luzon in the history books about this period.

Thinking about it, there are not many people even if they are indigenous people.

There will not be too many people who are exiled from the Central Plains. There are tens of thousands of people in Luzon.

Thinking of this, Liu Mu said again: "It's a barren place, there shouldn't be many people."

Wang Chongji smiled: "Brother, what you said is wrong. There are countless trees full of coins hanging there. If there are really millions of stones and hemp materials, all the yarn workshops in Silla will be closed within a year, and then it will start to affect Goguryeo."

"Yes, but someone needs to cut it, and the hemp needs to be stripped out. What's more important is the ship, a large number of new sea ships, which need wood, high-quality linen for sails, and manual manufacturing. Wan Shi is just a plan."

Willow is right.

Wang Chongji didn't say a word in his heart, that is, Liu Mu underestimated the attraction of coins to all classes.

"A subordinate of the Quanzhou Transshipment Department, independently accounting for the yarn mill and the oil mill."

"What do the four counties of Cixi do?"

"Grow vegetables, raise pigs, establish a complete supply and demand system, and then build roads and docks. Land plots are drawn up to attract investment, and countless raw materials need to be turned into secondary processed products, salable products, etc."

"Understood, food can be brought in from outside, but vegetables and meat cannot."

Cui Yuan woke up, the medical officer told him to rest more, don't be frightened anymore.

In the evening, Liu Mu bid farewell and went back to rest.

The content of today's conversation must be digested by these people, and Liu Mu still has several very important people to meet in the past few days, so he needs to have a serious talk.

After Liu Mu left, it was still the main hall, this time the young people were all standing in the middle of the hall.

A young son of an aristocratic family is reciting the knowledge he has.

"In the Sui Dynasty, Yuqiwei was sent to the sea to search for strange customs. He saw an island and a pearl boat floating on the sea. After returning, he wrote a letter saying that there might be a dragon floating on the water, so he named it Liuqiu. When we were compiling the history of the Sui Dynasty, the Ministry of Rites believed that Qiu means young dragon, renamed Xiaoliuqiu, and the east island of Quanzhou is Daliuqiu."

"good."

After being praised by the elders, the young man stepped aside.

At this time, Cui Hong said: "Liu's son-in-law immediately wrote. Since the previous follower described it as pearls floating on the water, then change the name to Liuqiu, which means glaze and pearls."

At this time, another person stepped forward: "Grandson asks for advice."

"Speak!" Some elders nodded, indicating that it is time to start talking.

This person first saluted all the elders, and then began to say: "Islands like Ryukyu, if you really want to grow sugar cane in Daliuqiu Island or Quanzhou, it seems that it is not suitable to choose Ryukyu."

The elders sitting in the front row all laughed, they did not explain, and began to roll their names: "Chongji, you are going to be an official here, so tell me, what do you mean?"
