Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 194 It's Useless to Let You Know

After breakfast, a servant brought a horse, and it was Lu Xiaoliu who brought the horse to Liu Mu.

When handing the whip to Liu Mu, Lu Xiaoliu said, "Your Majesty, I don't have a chance to ask."

"No hurry, be steady." Liu Mu replied and got on the horse.

Right now, there is no one available in Mihara's family.

Laolang is in Jingyang, even if the output of the glass workshop cannot be exchanged for cash, it must be produced in large quantities. The palace uses money to subsidize it, and produces unlimited.

Zhu Yi's injury is fine, but because he still has some talents, he helped Li Dejian in the steel workshop of Huayuan County and learned to manage the workshop.

Li Bi has become the county magistrate, and he is already in Huayuan County.

Of the six foremen around Liu Mu, only the head of the agricultural workers was there, and the rest were in their respective workshops.

"Lang Jun, you are here." The head of the farm worker greeted him with a bag containing drinking water.

"Old Xiao Shiwu, you are quite early." Liu Mu got off his horse and came in front of Xiao Shiwu.

Speaking of this Xiao Shishi, he was not ranked fifteenth in his family, but when he signed up for the government, Li Zheng was drunk at that time and wrote the horizontal line on the top of the five characters twice.

This looks like fifteen.In fact he was the fifth eldest in his family.

The poor family has no name anyway, so he used fifteen as his name.

"Your Majesty, you told me to pay more attention after the buds formed. This morning, I arranged for people to check the moisture in the fields. The weather has become hot these days, and some fields need to be watered again."

"Thank you." As Liu Mu spoke, he had already entered the field, observing the flowers that were about to wither, some of which had already appeared small bolls.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, something happened to these thousands of acres of land. You can talk with your little old man's head. Every morning, noon and night, this little old man will patrol you on the ground." Xiao Shiwu slapped his chest .

Liu Mu smiled and waved his hands: "Don't be so nervous, we were trying to plant in the first year, and you taught me a few useful apprentices. Don't listen to the old saying, teach apprentices to starve to death, master, and I will take care of you. "

"Lang Jun is very kind, the little old man has already selected sixteen people, according to Lang Jun's order, they will work during the day and learn to write at night, but the work in the field is slow work, and within three years, it is guaranteed that they will be able to manage a field alone. "

Willow just nodded.

I went around the field and saw that the growth was really good, and there were quite a lot of cotton bolls.

Back on the ground, Liu Mu looked at Cui Yiye, and Cui Yiye also looked at Liu Mu. The two of them stared at each other for a while, and Cui Yiye suddenly said: "Mr. Mu Xiaolang is waiting for me to ask, why are you asking?" Thousands of acres of this kind of flowers and plants for arranging gardens are planted."

"Do you think I will answer?" Liu Mu asked back.

"Yes." Cui Yiye said confidently.

"Have you ever heard of white folded cloth?" Liu Mu didn't intend to hide it.

Cui Yiye nodded: "This item is extremely precious. It comes from the Western Regions, and you can occasionally see a little in the East Market. The price is comparable to middle and high-grade silk."

"The raw materials are planted in this field. However, it is useless to have raw materials. Only I know the craftsmanship of the white drape. And only I can make a few very special tools. So, you know that this is the white drape. The raw materials are useless."

Cui Yiye said calmly: "Mr. Mu Xiaolang is hostile to you?"

"That's right, we have no holidays, why should I be hostile to you? This is really weird, let me think about it, let me think about it." Liu Mu patted his head and walked aside.

Gao Xun and Cui Yiye looked at each other, and Gao Xun said: "Weaving one piece of white pile requires work, and weaving a hundred pieces of hemp noodles. When I was in the academy, it was recorded in the book that there were white tributes in Xizhou in the Han Dynasty. Drape."

Cui Yiye also interjected: "It is recorded in the Han Dynasty that a thousand horses is a tribute, and it is listed before a thousand horses."

When Cui Yiye said this, he was specifically referring to the fact that the cloth was a higher level of tribute than the horses.

Liu Mu heard the conversation between the two, but he was very calm in his heart.

Cotton cloth in the Han Dynasty has sixteen latitudes and eight latitudes per centimeter, which is coarse cloth.Not up to real cotton.Modern cotton cloth with low density has 78 counts, and 65 grams means [-] latitudes and [-] latitudes per centimeter.

That is, one tael of cotton is spun into thirty one-meter-long threads.

Therefore, if the craftsmanship cannot be achieved, cotton alone is useless. At most, it can only be used as a cotton-padded jacket with a quilt, which loses its meaning.

Liu Mu and the others got on their horses again, and Xiao Shiwu also got on his own donkey.

The other field is far away from here, it is already within the boundary of Jingyang County, and this is the flower field where Dugu Lanruo was impeached by the censor.

Others grow vegetables to eat, and at worst to sell.

But this field is known as ten thousand mu of golden yellow, and even many noble ladies in Chang'an City have come here to appreciate it.

At this time, there is no more golden color here, and there are only rapeseeds that are about to mature for several miles, but the yield of willows dare not hold too much expectation.

"Here, I have been here. I have been here at the beginning of April (the Tang Dynasty is the lunar calendar). Chang'an City still has a rumor for this field, and a title for Mr. Mu Xiaolang." Cui Yiye took the initiative to speak this time. up.

Liu Mu smiled: "It seems that I am a celebrity in Chang'an."

"It's more than famous, let alone Chang'an, anyone who has never heard of Mr. Mu Xiaolang from Sanyuan in the surrounding area of ​​Chang'an is an ignorant person." Cui Yiye laughed along with him.

"So, what title is it?"

"Liu Xianzi." Cui Yiye turned to stare at Liu Mu, just observing Liu Mu's reaction.

Not to mention the expression on his face, Liu Mu didn't have any special feeling in his heart, so he asked, "So, is this title good or bad?"

"Ah, whether it's good or bad, let's talk about it after hearing the rumor."

"Listening."

"My sister from Chang'an City told me that there is a saying that when you marry someone, you should marry Liu Xianzi, and don't mention marriage without a mirror; if you want to ask how good your husband is, you will know when you compare Xianzi."

"This poem doesn't seem to be written by a great talent, it must be a child's joke." Liu Muxin said, "Go ahead, continue to mess with me, take a doggerel that even a child with a fart can write, I guess it was just written.

Cui Yiye smiled, because he didn't tell a lie.

Gao Xing said at this time: "Although it is not a poem, it does exist. And I also know the source and the situation of this poem at that time."

"Really?" Liu Mu was surprised.

"Fifteen days ago, you were in Yaozhou. The rewards for the Cold Food Festival were delayed because of the affairs of His Highness King Qi, and then your family's Sanniang and Siniang brought a batch of dressing boxes into Chang'an. This batch was specially made. Mirror It's a long round mirror, and there are 49 vanity boxes in total." Gao Xing obviously knew the details.

"And then there is this poem." Cui Yiye said beside him, he also knew something.

"Don't, don't, tell me the detailed process, I'm very interested to know, don't just bypass it." Liu Mu urged Gao Xing to explain in more detail.
