Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 371 Don't Underestimate the Wisdom of the Ancients
After Liu Mu sat down, Cui Junsu said on behalf of the others: "This should be your territory. The four boxes on both sides are also arranged for my family members, and there are also three boxes on the second floor for my juniors."

"You are always thoughtful." Liu Mu cupped his fists slightly.

Pei Ju, as the Patriarch of the Hedong Pei Clan, threw the cards in his hand on the table and pushed all the chips down: "This one depends on luck, I think Prince Liu has something to say."

"You can always call the junior Xiaomu. The junior will help you distribute."

Liu Mu took the cards and dealt them quickly, and all the elders turned over the two cards in front of them.

Some small bets are just a game for them to wait here to waste time, and it doesn't matter who wins or loses.

The oval table in the middle leaves an empty seat for Willow. There is no tea here, and everything is white water.

After sitting down, Liu Mu took out a thick notebook from his lambskin shoulder bag and put it on the table.

"Elders, I, Liumu, have a business that is not too big, but it is not small. Right now I don't have enough coins, materials, and manpower. But I still want to make this business a reality. OK, make it big."

Liu Mu opened the thick book, but no one in the room spoke, they all listened quietly.

"First of all, I have been allowed to ask the saint. Secondly, all the output saints only need a small portion, and I only need a small portion. But there is a rule that is absolutely forbidden for the output of the workshop, that is, black The guests on the list don’t sell any coins for countless amounts.”

At this time, no one in the house spoke.

Even if no one knows what this workshop is right now.

Liu Mu opened the thick book, took out two pages from the top, and gently pushed it in front of Cui Junsu. At present, there are many people who are familiar with Liu Mu, including the patriarch Liu Chongchong.

But it makes sense for Liu Mu to choose Cui Junsu. This is the representative of the Qinghe Cui family, and even if he is not the patriarch, he has enough justice here.

"A steel workshop must produce at least 500 million shi of iron, one million shi of crude steel, and one hundred thousand shi of refined steel. Of course, if money, materials, and people can be guaranteed infinitely, then this figure can go up. Turn it over, turn it over, and turn it over again. In a word, I want money, materials, and people.”

The piece of paper given by Liu Mu is the detailed introduction of Gangfang.

Xingzhou Steel Workshop.

After reading it, Cui Junsu handed it to Zheng Yuanxuan first, and then said: "At this time, I heard that when Liu Mu was in Xingzhou, he mentioned it to Han Yuanji, the guard of Xingzhou, and Li Daoyan, the general manager of Qingzhou. Clan Uncle Cui Miao is present here. Datang’s iron production last year was about less than 260 million catties.”

"260 million catties? How many catties of fine steel is the eight hundred ding's equipment?" Pei Ju asked with a smile.

"How much stainless steel and pig iron Huayuan has, these numbers are not reported by the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households. Even how many iron pots were transported to Youzhou to be exchanged for sheep, wool, goat milk, cows and horses, etc., this number has not yet been reported." By the end of the year, the Ministry of Household Affairs has not received any official documents, and last year's edicts have not been checked."

Cui Junsu gave everyone an explanation.

"The matter of Hua Yuan is still kept secret." Liu Mu added.

The pig iron output of Xingzhou Gangfang is [-] times that of the whole country of Datang, and this is not counting crude steel and refined steel.

After everyone read Liu Mu's introduction to Xingzhou Steel Workshop, the scope of the mining area, etc., they began to discuss in low voices with each other, because the introduction clearly stated that there would be an official imperial decree, a gold medal from the imperial court, and There is a six-member civil servant group headed by a regular sixth-rank civil servant.

In addition, it is also allowed to send a management team of 12 people, as well as several foremen.

However, the prohibition is not limited to the one that Liu Mu said just now that restricts the sales object, but also adds that the following written evidence must be written, and those who spread the crafts of the workshop will be punished.

Then the crude steel workshop and the fine steel workshop, those without the imperial waist plate, approached and cut.

"Even if you see this, what's the use of spreading its craftsmanship. In the former Sui Dynasty, there was a law that stipulated that anyone who illegally mines mines and ransacks his home. It is the same in the Tang Dynasty. There are two small copper mines in the family, one of which is One location is fine, but another location where mining is difficult and the mining tax paid is much higher than the amount of copper produced.”

A clan elder from the Xiao clan laughed at himself.

Zheng Yuanxuan interjected: "Since the emergence of new money, whose copper mine is still profitable?"

"That's right."

Hearing these old guys talk about the copper mine, Liu Mu immediately said: "Don't, don't digress. Whether the copper mine pays or not, don't say it has anything to do with me. There is a mistake."

"Let's talk about the copper first, will you accept the copper or not?" Zheng Yuanzhen had already thrown Liu Mu [-] guan for nothing, and at this time he also wanted to see whether Liu Mu had the sincerity of reconciliation.

Liu Mu raised a hand: "Shut up, high-five for a promise."

The people from the Xiao family asked again: "Then, the cost of transporting copper from Jiangnan to Henan is much higher than that from Henan..."

"You old Mo said that I am already sincere in collecting copper, as much as I have. And I am also responsible for exchanging money, old money for new money. It is not negotiable if I want to make money, and it is impossible in Jiangnan right now. We’re going to build another money making workshop, so it’s almost done.”

The old man Xiao laughed, but didn't mention it at this time.

"Then this steel workshop?" Cui Junsu put the two pages back in front of Liu Mu.

Liu Mu pushed the thick brochure in front of Cui Junsu: "You are a high-ranking official of the Ministry of Households. Although Uncle Cui (Dun Li) of the Cui family of Boling is now in the Ministry of Officials, he used to work in the Ministry of Households. This thing is the little one. Wanzi, you look at it first, if you don’t understand, I will explain it to you.”

Cui Junsu didn't read, but carefully tore apart the binding, and then marked the page number on each page.

Cui Junsu read a page and passed it on. The last person read it and turned it over on the table, and then passed it on neatly page by page, and arranged it neatly.

Liu Mu took out a paperback version of the first volume of Romance of the Three Kingdoms from his backpack, and sat in the corner without making a sound.

This thick book is for these people to read and understand. Liu Mu believes that it will take two or three hours at the earliest, and it will even stop tonight and continue tomorrow, or even the day after tomorrow.

Obviously, Liu Mu underestimated the ancient understanding ability.

In just an hour, everyone read the thick booklet, and did not ask Liu Mu to explain anything in particular.

It is all written in vernacular, which is easy to understand for Tang Dynasty literati who cherish words like gold.

The content of it may seem complicated, but after summarizing by a few really powerful figures, there are only a dozen or so.

After a total of one and a half hours, Cui Junsu waved to Liu Mu: "Mr. Mu, please sit here, and I will talk to you on behalf of everyone."
