Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 823

After observing Yuan Gai Suwen's black face carefully, Liu Mu smiled.

"No, it's just this area. There will never be a city wall. I plan to use woods and shrubs to draw the boundary around it, and then there will be a brick wall. The emphasis is on beauty, and it is also a wall to prevent gentlemen from villains. Of course, It is also necessary to arrange some guards to patrol around to prevent Xiaoxiao from entering, this place is not too big, even the wharf has a total of [-] acres."

Willow Lion opened his mouth wide, he really wanted a territory of his own.

But Liu Mu did not touch Yuan Gai Su Wen's lower limit.

If a new city is really built here, Yuangai Suwen will definitely not be able to bear it. After all, this is the capital of Goguryeo.

Yuan Gai Suwen bowed his head and remained silent, in fact, he had already agreed in his heart.

Gao Gou Tongwei made many concessions, and he didn't care about this one.

Liu Mu then said: "The guards on the pier and the surrounding guards all need to ask the prince to arrange troops. I am willing to pay a high military salary, and then give corresponding clothing and weapons. The cargo guards on the pier The army has the right to register, and I guarantee that this pier belongs to Goguryeo, and I just borrowed it."

"What's the difference?" Yuan Gai Suwen didn't react.

Liu Mu said: "The difference is that the guards you send will check all the goods, so that it is impossible to disembark the goods that are taboo in Goguryeo."

"Okay, I agree. I will send a battalion of 3000 people to take charge of the surrounding protection." Yuan Gai Su Wenxin said, if you ask me to send someone to monitor, then I will not let this opportunity pass.

What Yuan Gai Suwen didn't expect was that Liu Mu added two more: "The way from the wharf to Pingcheng, you can arrange it yourself at the checkpoint. There are only two gates on my side, one leads to the wharf, the other faces Pingcheng, and the rest There is no gate anymore, so the gate leading to Pingcheng is also guarded by guards."

"Okay!" Yuan Gai Suwen was surprised.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was a conspiracy, but he couldn't figure out what the conspiracy was anyway.

After Yuan Gai Suwen agreed, he and Liu Mu rode around on horseback. Someone hit the wooden pier and tied a rope. This circle is considered to be surrounded by Liu Mu. The rent is very cheap. One-time payment of 15 years of rent, only Three thousand bolts of white linen.

The construction cost must be Liumu's own, but Yuangai Suwen provided [-] strong laborers, and the food and drink expenses of these laborers are also Liumu's.

After Yuan Gai Su Wen and Liu Mu delineated the area, they returned to the city.

Liu Mu looked at this place, then walked to the river to look at the water potential, and looked back at Jiang Ke.

Jiang Ke took a step forward: "Subordinates understand, spend money, spend countless coins to make this place as luxurious as the Koguryo Palace."

"Your realm is not enough."

"Ask your son-in-law to advise."

"It's better to have a simple appearance. It must not exceed the family house of the Yuan family. This is the upper limit. Anyone who walks in here will think about it. It seems that this place looks ordinary, but it is no worse than the Koguryo Palace from a closer look. Finally, enter In the courtyard, in the hall, and in the house, you will be shocked. It turns out that the Goguryeo Palace is the courtyard of the local rich man."

After Liu Mu finished speaking slowly, he turned to face the river with his hands behind his back, with a faint smile on his face.

Jiang Ke gave a long bow behind Liumu, he was indeed taught.

It is estimated that only Liu Mu could have figured out this trick.

In Liu Mu's words, this is low-key luxury. Of course, this is what he learned from top nobles like Cui Junsu.

Jiang Ke asked again: "My son-in-law, for the Goguryeo laborers in the seminary here, the food standard is fifth-class food?"

"It's very good. If you eat too much suddenly, your stomach will definitely not be able to bear it. And it will easily cause some unnecessary misunderstandings. There is also something like cement that needs to be used, but use it with caution."

"This subordinate understands, so I will make arrangements now. Also, you should return to Jiangnan in August, and the fleet going to East Rome should return in time."

Willow nodded after listening.

Jiang Ke was about to go out to do his own business, when Liu Mu walked to the door, he said suddenly: "I said, don't be in a hurry to sell luxury goods here, don't be in a hurry."

"clear."

In fact, Jiang Ke didn't understand, no one knew what Liu Mu wanted to do right now.

Yuan Gai Suwen believed that there was a conspiracy.

The small officials who came here from the Tang Dynasty also believed that there was a conspiracy, but what the conspiracy was, ordinary small officials, even if they came from a family with five surnames, would not be able to figure out what the conspiracy was here.

There are not many people who can see through this matter, but no one who can see through this matter will speak out.

Chai Shao understood it, and dialed Gao Xing. After Gao Xing understood it, he didn't say anything to anyone. He just told everyone to act according to the plan, and no one asked too much. If anyone made a mistake, it was guaranteed that he would not be able to turn it over for ten years. This matter will be recorded in the Ministry of Finance, unless you don't want to be an official in your life.

Two tank boats, this kind of slow but extremely stable big-bellied cargo ship is one of the sea-going ships transported along the coastline of Datang, relying on its huge body shape, super large volume, and very low waterline, it guarantees the safety of driving on the coastline. Safety and Transport Volume.

It took almost a month for the two ships each loaded with [-] shi of unhulled rice to arrive at Pingcheng from the Fanggang Wharf of the West Harbor Shipping Division.

Two thousand shi of rice.

There is no pier in Pingcheng that can dock such a large ship, and the food is transported ashore only by small boats.

"I need a powerful pier." Liu Mu stood by the Datong River, biting a toothpick.

Yuan Gai Su Wen once again felt that his face was dull, and he turned to his younger brother Yuan Jingtu and said, "Reassign another 5000 people. If we don't have enough manpower, tell the nobles and let them send me over. Otherwise, don't even think about splitting it up." The benefit of a penny."

A total of 1 people before and after, opened stones, dug grooves, and sawed logs.

"What does Concubine Liu want?" Yuan Gai Suwen asked from the side.

"Wharf workers, there are always 1000 people. There will be such large ships that will continue to transport food. I have an interesting idea. Let's dig a big tank by the river, dig it deeper, and when the ship comes, it can be pulled. into the tank and then push the boat out."

Willow is just talking nonsense. The temporary dock is not like this at all. The fastest way is to build a shelf with a wooden frame and then have a place on the shore for the boat to dock. Right now, digging like this is equivalent to digging out a dock.

But Yuan Gai Suwen believed it.

Liu Mu's nonsense is due to the large number of people on Yuan Gai Suwen's side.

It was another two thousand poorly dressed people. This time Liu Mu realized that he was not a coolie, but a soldier, an inferior soldier.

2000 people started digging, digging desperately.

A deep trench three feet deep, fifteen feet wide, and forty feet long was dug out in two days, and then it was wrapped up with stones, iron bars, and wood. One foot of earth and rocks, after the water is poured in, it is really possible for tank boats to drive in directly.
