Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 134

When mentioning the reward, Liu Mu smiled a little embarrassedly, then rubbed his hands together.

He took a deep breath, put away the smile on his face, and sat up straight seriously.

Peng Hai looked at Liu Mu and estimated in his heart that Liu Mu might ask for a big reward, and accepting a levy is a family affair, and presenting a gift is not an achievement.But being able to use the mirror as a gift from Datang to Xiaobang is a great contribution.

Liu Mu clenched his fists with both hands and spoke.

"I want a seemingly ordinary piece of land in Baishui County, Tongzhou. There is an abandoned old mountain temple there. There is a former winemaker in the Sui Palace in my workshop. His master found The old cellar of Du Kang, the God of Dionysus, unfortunately their status as master and apprentice is low, they..."

Liu Mu was talking, when Peng Hai waved his hand: "You are like this again."

"Am I wrong again?" Liu Mu was puzzled.

Peng Hai pressed his forehead with one hand, wanted to laugh but thought it was inappropriate to laugh, it was hard to bear it.In any case, Liu Mu also has a heart, and he is not greedy.

"Listen to Zajia's words, in the future, such trivial things will not be allowed..." Peng Hai stopped, thinking about how to use words.After thinking for a while, Peng Hai continued: "Don't let the miscellaneous people think that you have to do something big and how embarrassing it is."

"But in Xiaomin's eyes, that piece of land is very large, mainly connected to a mountain top, and I don't know how deep and how big the cellar is." Liu Mu already understood what Peng Hai meant.

But with Liu Mu on his lips, he still had to put on the posture of a countryman.

As the saying goes, life depends on acting skills.

"Mu, let's talk about the mirror. You mean, when rewarding those three self-righteous small countries, use a mirror?" Peng Hai asked.

"Well, I have read some books. I remember the time of the Han Dynasty. The Japanese came to ask for seals or naturalization or something. Back then, ten mirrors were rewarded, which was a very heavy reward. If we use the mirrors I made, we Datang can save a lot of money."

Peng Hai asked again: "Then you know, what are they doing here?"

"He came to cheat money." Liu Mu said viciously.

Peng Hai was stunned, what did he mean to cheat money.These three countries came to ask for the calendar, that is, to ask for canonization. The meaning of giving the calendar means that they will unify the time and history according to the calendar of the Tang Dynasty.

Of course Liu Mu knew what the Three Kingdoms were here for, and this period was a very important one in the history of the early Tang Dynasty.

The Great Tang regards peace as the most precious thing, and stabilized the northern border. The Three Kingdoms of the Peninsula were conferred the titles of Liaodong County King, Daifang County King, and Lelang County King.

But the point is that the so-called tribute they sent, according to the calculations of later historians, was less than one-fifth of the reward from the Tang Dynasty, which made Liu Mu very unhappy.

"Come here to cheat money." Peng Hai repeated Liu Mu's original words, put a chopstick of meat in his mouth, and laughed non-stop while tasting the wine.

Seeing that Liu Mu was about to say something, Peng Hai waved his hand to stop Liu Mu: "This is a state matter, don't be childish. But your proposal is indeed good. How many mirrors do you have now?"

"That thing is like burning tiles. Once the furnace is started, it is difficult to stop. I have arranged many people to work in three shifts at twelve hours. The glass pieces have filled the warehouse, and it is slower to become a mirror. But there are barely enough manpower. On the contrary, there are not enough manpower to make mirror shells."

"There are a lot of craftsmen." Peng Hai really didn't expect that there are so many mirrors in Liumu's place.

It's just that Peng Hai didn't know what a piece of glass is and how different it is from a mirror.

"Can you ask for another reward for me, I want a limit of [-] armors. I don't want a reward, I plan to make [-] armors myself, and choose [-] servants for myself."

A, a privately made half-a pair of A is exiled for three thousand miles, this is the iron law of the Tang Dynasty.

"Yes." Peng Hai easily agreed, only one hundred armors. According to the law of etiquette, after Liu Mu becomes the captain of the son-in-law, the Princess Mansion can have one hundred to three hundred armored men as personal guards. .

It is not difficult to give Liumu a hundred places in advance.

Moreover, according to the level of Princess Changping, a title was added, and the total number of people would definitely exceed 300.

Peng Hai has already asked what he wanted to ask and said what he wanted to say.After wiping his mouth, he said to Liu Mu: "Shut up." This means that the topic they talked about today should be kept secret.

Liu Mu sent Peng Hai outside, and when Peng Hai was in the carriage, Zhu Yi trotted over and put a wooden box one foot long, seven inches wide, and four inches high on Peng Hai's carriage.

"The miscellaneous family doesn't accept your gift." Peng Hai motioned to move back.

Liu Mu opened the wooden box, but what he saw were wooden strips one by one.

I saw Willow pulling out one of the wooden bars, but it was not a wooden bar, but a mirror with the simplest wooden frame, each side was three inches high and two inches wide.The boxes are neatly stacked, and the first wooden strip is the frame of a mirror.

There are hundreds of noodles in this box.

Peng Hai covered the box himself, without saying anything, motioned the coachman to drive back to the palace.

On the carriage, Peng Hai shook his head with a wry smile: "You idiot."

There is also a reason for Peng Hai to say that Liu Mu is stupid.The first time Peng Hai asked for fragrance washing from Liu Mu, it was indeed for the palace.I also have to face the big and small people in the palace, and I also have to save face.

But every time Liu Mu has something, he prepares a special one for himself.So Peng Hai said that Liu Mu was stupid, he only knew to bring some private goods for himself, but he didn't think about it, and he didn't dare to accept everything.

Seeing Peng Hai's carriage going away, Liu Mu said to Zhu Yi: "Hurry up and arrange reliable people to go back. We don't want the Xiangxifang. We only need to leave enough output for our family. Then choose from the mirror workshop. If some are good, send someone to Chang'an."

"Yes." After Zhu Yi agreed, he trotted to work.

Wenyue Pavilion West Building.

Wenyue Pavilion is a very long building complex, the middle part is a huge performance hall, the east building is a restaurant, and the west building, which was originally empty, is now converted into a private room specially used for playing cards.

Liu Mu returned to the building and walked around the room where the cards were being played.

Cui Yiye and Li Bi were bickering without saying a word, they each had a victory or defeat, but Dou Shikuan was sweating all over his face, and he was also very nervous looking at the cards.

Liu Mu didn't say anything, turned around and left the house.

Liu Mu knew that the more nervous he was, the more anxious he was, the more he would lose in this game of cards.However, the worse Dou Shikuan lost, the easier things to do next.

In the backyard of Wenyue Pavilion, Ye Siniang is watching a new drama rehearsal.

Tomorrow is the end of the ten-day period, and Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty will come to see a play. He doesn't know if it is an old play, but he wants to see a new one.Ye Siniang didn't dare to be negligent.

No matter what her status is, facing the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, she has absolute respect in her heart.
