Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 856
Xiao Ling'er wanted to borrow Jingyang Yinfang, Liu Mu asked: "What do you want to print, you must use Jingyang Yinfang."

"Some time ago, my big clan of the Xiao clan had a big competition in the clan, and selected three people with the best calligraphy to be in charge of sorting out the transcriptions, and then used their transcriptions as the original version. Only Jingyang Workshop can print [-] copies of the same edition in Datang.”

After explaining the reason, Xiao Ling'er added: "I donated [-] yuan to the family to help with the printing costs. Originally, the elders of the family would come to see my husband, but my husband has been busy recently, and it is difficult to see my husband."

Han Xiangguo Xiao He is indeed the first life of Xiao Yu.

After hearing this, Liu Mu said: "Donate another [-] yuan in my name, and you and I will jointly donate [-] yuan. Jingyang Yinfang cannot be borrowed, but I will arrange for Jingyang Yinfang to open another workshop just for this purpose." Print books."

"Thank you husband."

"You don't need to thank me, you need to support this matter." Liu Mu has a hundred supports in his heart, and spending money is a trivial matter.

Xiao Ling'er said again: "Husband, the Chen family's Runan House also has this plan. They want to write a biography for the ancestor Chen Zigong. Later, the Chen Le family contributed millions of dollars to support, so the Chen family also wanted to borrow the printing workshop."

"Good thing, you sent [-] coins in my name. Tell Mrs. Chen, I, Liu Mu, respect heroes, and [-] coins per word."

"Ling'er will take care of this matter. Husband, the nine characters are: those who commit crimes against a strong man will be punished even if they are far away."

Liu Mu nodded: "Yes, Chen Zigong, the ancestor of the Chen family, this sentence is good. Also, send someone to find the descendants of the Cuan family, and tell them that if the family is poor, I Liu Mu will contribute to his ancestor Ban Chao's book and biography. The world Any family, even commoners, tenant farmers, and ancestors who have contributed to their homeland and the world in resisting foreign invasion, I, Liumu, are willing to contribute money to write books and biographies for them.”

"Husband, what, why is this?" Xiao Ling'er didn't understand at all.

Liu Mu didn't answer any more, and after shaking his head slightly, he picked up the biography of riding slaves written by Yao Silian and began to read.

Suddenly, Liu Mu put down his book and asked, "Baoqin, do you remember when we agreed with Koguryo to deliver the ordnance?"

"Lang Jun, there is no agreed date. Armaments are transported from various places to the Shilianghe Camp in the south of Yizhou. If they are to be transported to Goguryeo or Lingnan, they will be transferred from Haizhou Wharf."

Liu Mu didn't quite understand, and asked, "Why did you transport it to Yizhou?"

Baoqin explained: "This batch of ordnance is the ordnance of the frontier army. The last time the Ministry of War sent me a document, you didn't read it. You didn't read it, but it was clearly written in the document. The new ordnance was sent to the northwest first, while the ordnance in the northwest was shipped to the east. , layer by layer."

Liu Mu asked again: "What is changing layer by layer?"

"It means that the local frontier army will pick a batch of the imported ordnance first, replace the old ordnance they are using, and then go east. New ordnance will continue to be shipped to the northwest, and then all the old ordnance of the frontier army will be replaced from west to east. , all the way to Yanzhou."

"continue."

"Yanzhou will redistribute all the old ordnance, part of it to the Shiwei, Khitan, and Heishui Mohe tribes. Part of it goes south along the canal, and then transfers to Yizhou South Shilianghe Camp, which was established as early as Wude San Nian is a large ordnance workshop, and now the outstanding craftsmen are transferred to Chang'an, and ordinary craftsmen repair old ordnance."

Liu Mu understood: "What you mean is that there is an ordnance workshop in Yizhou, and they are currently responsible for repairing old ordnance."

"Lang Jun, repair is second. Their main task is to renovate. At least make the ordnance look like new, and then paint the box with tung oil. The box is brand new. They are also responsible for making some very simple ordinary ordnance, such as old-style bows. , knives, leather shields and other low-priced ordnance. And also responsible for the production of various military uniforms.”

After listening, Liu Mu immediately said: "Order the fleet to speed up and catch up with Ma Zhou. Let's go to Haizhou first, and then go to Pingcheng."

"Yes."

Ma Zhou's boat was an ordinary cargo ship, and Liu Mu's boat was a full-sail warship.

Willow has already made a round at Haizhou Wharf.

Donghai County, Haizhou was just an inconspicuous small fishing village ten years ago. In just three years, it has formed a large-scale urban area.

There is no city wall in Donghai County, and the construction of the city needs approval from the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Rites.

However, there are nineteen regular workshops here, and No.20, 21, and 22 workshops are under construction. The walls have been built, and lines are being drawn to prepare for building houses.

The highest official here is not the county magistrate. There was no county magistrate in Donghai County. There were less than [-] households in the past. After the war, all the officials here fled. Two ri are managing.

County affairs are handled by the Haizhou government dozens of miles away.

Right now, the highest official in Donghai County is the management envoy of Haizhou Wharf, which is equivalent to Zheng Qipin.

"Lang Jun, there are 40 rivers that flow directly into the sea, and more than 400 rivers of different sizes converge here. Last autumn, 900 million catties of pears were harvested here, and [-] million high-quality pears were made into cans, and the rest were dried or dried. Jam in stock."

Liu Mu stood on the high archery tower, looking at the squares one after another from a distance.

"Mr. Lang, at workshops 21 and 22, Xiaguan has ordered the construction of houses to be suspended. The wharf managed by Xiaguan is definitely not enough to rely on pears alone, so Xiaguan has added workshops for wood, preserved fruit, and flour. The documents are here, and the officials are going to turn the 21st and 22nd workshops into weaving workshops."

Liu Mu asked: "Have you considered how to distribute the woven cloth?"

"There is a lot of cloth needed here. The purpose of the document is to ask Xiaguan to replenish what is needed for export. Xiaguan arranged for investment, but got a large number of orders. From here to counties and counties five hundred miles inland, the order for linen is placed. Four times the production expected by officials here."

Liu Mu and the manager smiled wryly at the same time.

The embarrassment of his business is that he has received strong support from Yizhou, Haizhou, and Chuzhou for building workshops and attracting investment, especially for investment promotion. Countless businessmen have come here to invest in building workshops.

This is a good thing.

But these merchants heard that there is a cloth workshop here, and they mostly buy cloth from Jiangnan, which is much closer than Jiangnan.

Would rather buy here.

Therefore, the embarrassment for the operation of Donghai County is that there are businessmen in the state capital here who support their work. Now they need cloth, and they have to agree.

Liumu has a different feeling. Datang's domestic demand has begun to be activated, and it is estimated that it will soon enter a market environment where supply exceeds demand.

Liu Mu asked: "Have you found any incidents of shoddy goods or false ones?"

"I have been conducting strict investigations. The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs have found official documents, and the Donggang Shipbuilding Department has also added additional official documents. The worst case is that the whole family will be demoted to slaves, and the lightest is a huge fine."

"Oh." Liu Mu didn't expect the punishment to be so severe.
