Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 450 Willow's Unexpected Joy

Li Shimin's question Liu Mu nodded after hesitating for a long time: "Yes!"

Peng Hai was confused, he didn't understand.

Li Shimin explained: "Xiao Mu said to my father, to show my father the first prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. This king thought that the first prosperity of the Tang Dynasty was not the change of these squares in Chang'an City, but the increase of the wealth of the people. The big library has become rich."

"Second brother, tomorrow will be brocade silk and clothing materials competition. Then three years later, there will be ten famous papers and ten famous brushes. The Tang Dynasty has a vast land and abundant resources, and each culture is different. Comparable poetry and folk art from all over the world. Next , different cultures, customs, and diets vary from place to place, and there may be ten famous dishes in the future..."

Li Shimin laughed heartily: "That's good, for me in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, I will replace wine with tea today."

There is still one thing Liu Mu didn't say, and Li Shimin may not understand it at this time, that is to stimulate consumption, so that the prosperous age will truly come.

Right now, ordinary people in Datang only consume what they need to survive.

Clothing, food, shelter, transportation.

Liu Mu believes that with only these four things, it will increase a hundred times in ten years.

Peng Hai only drank two cups of tea before resigning. He knew very well that it was a great honor for him to drink two cups of tea here. His Royal Highness King Qin is destined to become the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty. .

After Peng Hai left, Li Shimin signaled his followers to stay on the periphery.

"Xiaomu, Mr. Fang still has a document. It's very long, and it can be summed up in one sentence. There are fields in Qingzhou that are barren."

Li Shimin only said one sentence, and Liu Mu understood what happened.

"Second brother, there are many people who are willing to work in workshops, because they earn more than farming. Therefore, apart from maintaining food rations and paying land taxes, some farm households are unwilling to take care of it. How much food is what counts. The military farm is different, they are planting with their hearts."

Li Shimin nodded, and Liu Mu went straight to the truth.

"Second brother, let the farmers gather their fields together, such as hundreds of hectares or thousands of hectares as a group. The farm is operated on a large scale, and as long as the person in charge of the farm is similar to a workshop worker, I believe someone is willing to work in the field."

Li Shimin knew that Liu Mu hadn't finished speaking, so he signaled Liu Mu to continue.

Liu Mu smelled the tea, and said slowly, "Second brother, we need slaves right now."

Li Shimin smiled, all he wanted to hear was a sentence.

Then Li Shimin asked, "Where are there slaves?"

"There are about 140 million households in the peninsula, and they are a little bigger than the palm of your hand. And I estimate that there may be more islands than the peninsula. The East Turks have a large population, and the tribes in Liaodong are all small tribes."

"continue."

"Why are there small tribes in Liaodong, because the grasslands are so big. If all the grasslands of Eastern Turks belong to the Tang Dynasty, then the grasslands are big enough, and a small tribe with a small population can still have millions of sheep."

"Turks must be destroyed." Li Shimin only said such a simple sentence.

Liu Mu lowered his voice again: "Second brother, do you know Tianzhu?"

"Of course, Buddhism came from Tianzhu. It is tens of thousands of miles from Tang Dynasty to Tianzhu." Li Shimin's understanding of the map is that all the way to the west, after passing the West Turks, then go west, and then to the south is Tianzhu.In Li Shimin's mind, Tianzhu is as far away as Rome.

Liu Mu smiled: "Tianzhu is not far to the southwest of Shu, and their population is larger than my Tang Dynasty."

Willow, this is definitely not nonsense. According to the statistics of later generations, from 400 AD to 1000 AD, Tianzhu had the largest population in the world.

Haha, hahaha!

Li Shimin smiled and patted Liu Mu's shoulder a few times, but he didn't say a word about Tianzhu.

But Liu Mu knew that Li Shimin was tempted.

Compared with the money of Wa Island, Li Shimin prefers Tianzhu's population of tens of millions.

Li Shimin didn't mention Tianzhu, and changed the subject: "The birth rate and child safety rate of the four counties in the north of Chang'an are the highest in the entire Tang Dynasty. Later, you will give the second brother a detailed document. The second brother will refer to one or two for details."

"En. I asked each of the four county magistrates to write a copy, and I will summarize it later."

"very good."

When Li Shimin was about to tell Liu Mu about Su Mo Mohe again, he suddenly heard someone shouting outside, and more and more people shouted, one after another.

Li Shimin waved lightly to the people guarding the door.

Soon, the person in charge of the investigation came back and reported: "Your Highness, the people outside are shouting [-] guan. I found out that the auction house auctioned the porcelain crown and the tea crown together, and it was Qinghe Cui who took the auction."

When the entourage reported, someone was waiting by the door and entered after getting Li Shimin's permission.

"Your Highness, son-in-law. Just now, Qinghe Cui's porcelain chief and tea chief began to package, and announced that this is a gift from Qinghe Cui to Princess Rencheng, and it will be shipped to Yunzhou immediately."

After hearing this, Li Shimin smiled and waved his hands, indicating that the person who made the report could step back.

Liu Mu also smiled. "It seems that there is no way to refuse."

"Yes, you and I each have a copy of the book, let Qinghe Cui bring it together, and this matter is considered settled." Li Shimin is also persuading Liu Mu.

Qinghe Cui's actions are quite obvious. Sending tea and tea sets means that Qinghe Cui's daughter-in-law who is about to marry will perform the ceremony of serving tea, and admit that her status in Rencheng Palace is lower than that of Liu Ruyu.

Liu Mu couldn't refuse any more, and immediately wrote a handwritten letter.

Rejecting this matter is tantamount to turning your face.

Qinghe's daughter who is waiting to be married is now because of the previous incident of Li Daozong's marriage, no one from the real wealthy family would dare to marry.But it would be too embarrassing to make the daughter of the family, even the daughter of the support house, an old maid.

Qinghe Cui couldn't afford to lose face.

When Liu Mu and Li Shimin wrote the letter, Chang'an City was busier than the festival. Although it had nothing to do with ordinary people, the people were extremely happy.

People kept coming in to report the latest situation of Longqingfang to Li Shimin and Liu Mu.

Li Shimin and Liu Mu wrote the letter by hand, and Liu Mu ordered people to pack up their pens and inks, but Li Shimin said: "Write another warrant, and it will be published in the Chang'an News tomorrow, or it will be passed to various workshops now. Take part of the luxury tax for Please help the old and the weak in Chang'an, you must know that this tax is under your control."

"Okay." With a swipe of Liu Mu's pen, [-]% of the luxury tax will be used to fund medical care, and [-]% will be used to open schools in Chang'an. "Send it to the library, and they will print it out according to the plan. It will be published in the Chang'an Daily tomorrow, and you can make it public today if you want to. Just say that the details will be published tomorrow."

"Design!" Although he was Li Shimin's follower, he still respectfully accepted Liu Mu's handwriting.

Li Shimin asked, "What kind of school is it?"

"Night school, so that the people of Chang'an can learn a skill. The owners of the workshops will select craftsmen to go back to work, but they are also donating some money to the night school."
