Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 1014: Yes or No
Those Baekje nobles who caused troubles were actually controlled secretly by Ba Dao behind their backs.

Liu Mu said slowly: "The Ministry of Rites cannot mediate this matter."

"Your son-in-law is wise, there is no way to talk about this matter, and we have enough evidence to prove that it was not bandits who robbed supplies on the seaside and the main border transport road several times, but the regular army of Baekje. It was the Baekje people who picked them first. We, Goguryeo, have nothing to do about this dispute."

Yuan Pure Land complained loudly about the hatefulness of the Baekje people.

Liu Mu just listened quietly, but didn't say a word.

Yuan Jingtu also said: "Tens of thousands of Goguryeo people have died in the mines in the Maoshan mining area, but I, Goguryeo, have to send more people just to increase production. We need enough coins to buy food. Today, natural disasters continue. Many places There is no harvest, and the price of grain in Wangcheng is already five times that of the good year."

Liu Mu knew about food prices.

Some natural disasters are also real, but they are not as serious as Yuan Yuan Pure Land said. The content of Wenyue Pavilion's investigation is that Yuan Gai Suwen secretly stored a lot of food as military rations.

In this regard, Yuan Gai Suwen was learning the method of storing grain from Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty.

After ensuring that the treasury has enough food for the people to eat for ten years, that is when Goguryeo declared war on Datang.

At this time, the senior staff officers of the Tang Dynasty who were hiding in the secret cabinet did not dare to show their spirits. They were extremely nervous, and their established goal was to let Goguryeo start a war, and at the same time control the time of this war.

Right now, they haven't heard any good news from the conversation between Liu Mu and Yuan Pure Land.

Suddenly, Liu Mu asked: "Your brother wants to fight Baekje?"

One sentence stunned Yuan Pure Land's question, and Yuan Pure Land didn't know how to answer the question with Liu Mu's simple and direct way of saying it.

Liu Mu asked again: "Then you answer me, yes or no. Don't talk nonsense."

"Yes!"

At this time, Yuan Pure Land was caught off guard by General Liu Mu suddenly, so he could only answer truthfully.

Liu Mu smiled indifferently: "With that little thoughtfulness, those who hide and hide think that they can hide it from the world."

Yuan Pure Land was speechless.

Liu Mu said again: "The quantity of porcelain that Datang needs this year is necessary. It is related to various contracts. If you Goguryeo wants to make a move against Baekje, then you have to wait for Baekje to deliver the batch of next spring's goods, and then do it again. The quantity of porcelain guaranteed by Baekje in the spring of [-], you Goguryeo must guarantee the quality and quantity.”

"You answer, yes, or no?"

Such a direct request and question.This made the Tang senior staff hiding in the secret cabinet almost go crazy.

But Yuan Pure Land heaved a sigh of relief: "Thank you Prince-in-law Liu, we promise that the supply of porcelain will never be affected, and our Goguryeo does not want to meet with Baekje. We will send envoys to communicate with the king of Baekje. They can hand over the sergeants dressed as bandits to us in Goguryeo, and promise not to invade our Goguryeo again, and this matter is considered over."

"I don't care about that."

Liu Mu put on an attitude that he was so stupid to listen, ordered someone to bring a pen and paper, and wrote a warrant on the spot: "With this warrant, you can buy grain at a par price of 100 million shi at the Ministry of Households before you go back, plus Buy 300 million shi of grain at a premium of [-]%, and the household department will send a ship to Koguryo King City, and you can negotiate the transportation cost yourself."

"Thank you, Consort Liu." Yuan Jingtu was very excited, he needed this batch of food.

With this batch of grain, Goguryeo and Baekje go to war, so they don't need to use the war reserve to store grain.

Willow said again: "Go back and tell your brother that I need a promise from him. Porcelain vases are used to hold spices. Arab and Persian merchants have a contract with the general shipping department. If they can't supply enough goods, they need to double the compensation. Can be credited, this matter must not have any impact."

"Understood. Guaranteed to have absolutely no impact on supply."

Yuan Jingtu answered while thinking, and immediately started to build a large number of kiln mouths when he went back. Taking advantage of the spring break in the next year to start the war, the craftsmen of Goguryeo and the craftsmen of Baekje who were snatched back from Baekje, as long as they are organized properly, there will be no mistakes. The contract for the supply of porcelain vases was just to attack Baekje, so it was difficult to ask at this time.

Yuan Jingtu understands that his elder brother Yuan Gai Suwen wants to destroy Baekje, but it is difficult to say such words.

Or to put it another way, just like Silla, to support one's own power, Baekje still exists in name, but it exists in name only.

Yuan Pure Land was still in a daze, and Liu Mu said: "I originally planned to have a banquet with you today, but the assessment will be held in a few days, and I will hold a banquet in the mansion in five days."

"Thank you Concubine Liu, but I plan to rush back immediately, and then send someone to deliver the letter from brother to you as soon as possible."

"Alright."

Liu Mu didn't keep him, and after arranging a few gifts, he politely drove Yuan Pure Land out.

After Yuan Pure Land left, Liu Mu scolded with a smile: "A letter of promise is a letter of promise, even a letter. Come here."

Someone came to listen to the order.

Liu Mu ordered: "Send someone to call Konoe Tadari and Konoe Tadachi, and tell them that the opportunity to show loyalty and meritorious service is at hand, and I need their strength. This secret letter is arranged, and then one of them will come to Chang'an, and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will personally summon him and teach him the opportunity."

"Yes!"

Liu Mu's guard took the letter from Liu Mu and retreated.

As for Datang's senior staff members leaving from the secret passage with disbelief on their faces, they had to go back to report and calculate the next action plan.

Their plan cannot be said to be useless.

It's just that no one would have imagined that Liu Mu would be so domineering towards Goguryeo, yes or no, as long as this simple answer.

No one expected that Yuan Jingtu, the third person in power in Goguryeo, dared not look directly at Liu Mu.

After the senior staff officer of Datang rushed back to Chang'an and reported the situation in Shangshu Province, Du Ruhui also had a look of astonishment, but Li Jing's reaction was very flat, with an expression that I knew it would happen a long time ago.

"Pharmacist, you seem to have guessed this would happen?"

Li Jing nodded and replied to Du Ruhui: "It's more domineering than I thought, but the Goguryeo people just like this. As Liu Mu said before, the Japanese become more docile like dogs when they are beaten. Sticks are worse than dogs. You are a lowly breed in the world."

"Born to be a bitch!!?" ​​Du Ruhui had never heard of this saying.

"It's when you treat others, Bangzi feels like a god, and insists on being taller than you. If you step on him hard, and then give him a little reward, Bangzi becomes more normal instead, feeling like a human being. The original saying is that Bangzi is born to be a writer's slave, and if he really has the opportunity to become a master, he will not be a human being."

　Regarding broken chapters, I am really wronged.

　　The fast rhythm will naturally feel that it is broken so lightly, so it is definitely not intentional, it can only be said to be...

　　God willing.
