Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 470 Entering Guangzhou

Feng An suddenly laughed.

Liu Mu is different from the rumors. The rumored Liu Mu is a very weak person, and the greatest joy in life is to constantly please Princess Changping.

Now it seems that this is all the words of the market.

A person who can kill 800 Turkic elites with [-] people, even if he does not have the strength to hold a sword, has the talent to drive a sword.

"Order to enter Guangzhou."

"Also, the ten kinds of fruits you promised me. My mother-in-law likes fruits, so she must try the fruits from Lingnan." Liu Mu returned to his smiling expression, and Feng An also laughed: "An Xin, I have Send people to prepare all the fruits that can be found, and the ten kinds you want must be among them."

One day later, Guangzhou City.

Feng An has never been to Guangzhou, but this is still his territory, and he has sent people to guard it.There is an ancient garden in Guangzhou City, which was built by Zhao Tuo in those years. Over the years, it has been repaired and many buildings, flowers and plants have been added.

Liumu lived in this garden without any hesitation.

Dozens of different fruits were placed in front of Dugu Lanruo, which really opened Dugu Lanruo's eyes. Liu Mu said before that there is a kind of fruit that is definitely a rare fruit of the imperial concubine level. After tasting it, it is really extraordinary.

Liu Muxin said, after more than 100 years, Yang Guifei exhausted so many horses because of this lychee, how could this thing be ordinary.

In the outer hall, the top civil and military personnel around Feng An have arrived, and they are very unconvinced by Liu Mu.

Lei Hu yelled at Liu Mu again: "You say, what we want, you will give ten times. If you can do it, Lao Lei, I will give you ten years to lead the horse."

Leading a horse represents personal protection.

Liu Mu shook his head: "I've inquired about it. You have the power and prestige of my elder brother-in-law to lead troops into the battle. It's a pity to lead the horse. You will definitely lose. Just lead the battle for me and kill a few people."

Everyone else stood up, Liu Mu's words were too crazy.

Feng An signaled his subordinates to sit down, and then said to Liu Mu, "Don't say it's ten times, even if it's five times, I'll make friends with you eight times."

Hahaha!Liu Mu laughed: "Now, you are my elder brother." Feng An just smiled when he heard this, he became more and more confused why Liu Mu came to Lingnan, it was definitely not because someone in the court said he was going to rebel .

Liu Mu put a tin can with a big mouth and a small bottom in front of Feng An: "Old Feng, my brother, this can was packaged four months ago, and it comes from mutton outside the Great Wall. The meat can be kept for a few days, so don't use it." I'm going to say more. This has been in storage for four months."

Liu Mu touched it in his arms, and held a special knife for opening cans in his hand.

"Lang Jun, let me come." Su Dingfang took the knife.

Liumu can't make the iron sheet as thin as the later generations, and the hardness of the tool steel used to open the can is almost the same. It is impossible to open this can without a little hand strength.

The can was opened quickly, and Su Dingfang smelled it, and it was not bad.

Feng An took a closer look, and found that there was juice and meat in the iron tube.He picked up a piece and tasted it: "Well, it's delicious. Is it stored four months ago?"

"Of course, I have no need to lie to you."

Lei Hu and other civil and military officials also came to taste it, and they all admitted that the food in this tube was delicious.

"It's no wonder that your soldiers are so strong. Marching and fighting are treasures. You can only have strength if you eat meat." Lei Hu smiled heartily.

Feng Ang asked, "Does this have something to do with what you said?"

Liu Mu got up and picked up a local peach on the table, peeled the skin with a small knife two or three times, then cut open and removed the pit.

"Old Feng, you said Chang'an has almost fresh peaches to eat in winter, how much is a catty worth?"

"Money can't buy it!"

"If you have the goods, you can sell them for the money." Liu Mu patted the can again: "This can is worth a lot of money, and even ordinary civilians will rush to buy it during the New Year. How many fruits are there in Lingnan? One year I am afraid that there are fruits ripening in the four seasons, right or wrong?"

Everyone in the front hall was silent.

The people in Lingnan got the news about Liumu, the most important one of which was that Liumu went north to rely on wool, a seemingly useless thing, to make many tribes in Liaodong surrender, and even Turkic princes were willing to enter Chang'an to be canonized.

Just when everyone in the lobby was crazy about Liu Mu's idea of ​​holding fruit in a tube, Liu Mu took out two pieces of paper: "This fruit is a small business, and this is a big business."

Two sheets of paper with drawings drawn in pencil.

One picture is a boat, which is completely different from the current Tang Dynasty ships, and the other picture is a kind of grass with many round fruits on the root of the grass.

"I've seen this fruit." A man dressed in a color different from that of the Han people picked up the piece of paper. "One time when we quelled chaos in Jiaozhou, there was this kind of fruit in the mountains. That mountain is not high. But what is the use of this fruit?"

"The fruit is useless, but the core is useful. This thing is called grass fruit, one of the most important spices for cooking meat. Then there is cinnamon, the bark of the cinnamon tree. There are many other kinds. The spices I want are basically south of the border. So The monkeys who are going to be beaten are afraid of us, so they can get back the spices in large quantities."

Lei Hu looked confused: "Is this thing important?"

"General Lei, spices are enough to trigger a war to destroy a country. These are spices for food, and spices for use. Do you know the daily demand for spices in Chang'an City, and how much is used for the scent of agarwood?"

Feng An stroked his beard and said to Liu Mu: "Brother, old brother, these people don't understand what spice is. And this boat, what does it mean?"

Feng An changed his tune and called Liu Mu his brother, which meant that he had approved Liu Mu's words.

"The boat is a boat used at sea. This boat can go all the way north along the sea to Hangzhou, and then transfer to a canal boat to Chang'an. Why do I have to say that I want to enter Guangzhou, and the big wharf can be built here. I brought I hired a ghost worker, the top shipbuilder ghost worker, he has already tried to make a small boat, there is plenty of wood here, I want him to bring a big boat."

"There is no problem with the wood, and there are many first-class shipwrights here." Feng An agreed with Liu Mu's words.

Liu Mu said again: "I also brought four top perfumers in the palace. They will study from various flowers, plants and trees, what can be used as spices. If they don't understand, they will also make samples and ship them to Chang'an. We will continue to study it. As long as it is useful, we will transport tens of thousands of stones to Chang'an, and then the silk from Chang'an will be pulled here by boat."

Feng Ang was tempted. Lingnan was barren, and all kinds of crafts were very backward, and he couldn't even weave cloth well.

The favorite material of the Han people in Lingnan is not their own weaving, but the brocade of the Tong people.

Thinking of this, Feng An asked, "Is it peaceful recently in Jiaozhou?"

"It's not peaceful. The Annan people are constantly making troubles, and our officials in Jiaozhou can't be sent there. There are many unruly people in the poor mountains and rivers. Last year, the taxes received by the Jiaozhou government were less than five thousand stones and five hundred guan."
