Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 473 Westport Company (fourth update)
"Wow..." Liu Mu's eyes widened. This is a box of 36 super large pearls with a diameter of more than [-] centimeters.Not to mention that this thing was in the Tang Dynasty, even if it is placed in the modern age of later generations, it is a treasure level.

"Wow..." Liu Mu's eyes widened exaggeratedly for the second time, this is a top-quality chicken blood stone.

The boxes were opened one by one, and Liu Mu cried out again and again. When the tenth box was opened, Liu Mu didn't cry out, but stared straight at the stone,

There are many green spots on this stone like a cloud dragon. Liu Mu has never bet on stones, nor has he seen a real jadeite rough stone with his own eyes, but this piece of Liu Mu feels like it.

The elder of the Xian clan said: "This is a strange stone from Mengshezhao, like a dragon in the clouds, maybe not precious, but strange."

"No, this piece may be extremely precious, and there are extremely precious treasures hidden inside." Liu Mu touched the stone, the surface was smooth, and the surface was obviously worn away by the water for countless years.

"Thank you for your gifts. Please take a seat."

Liu Mu accepted the gift, Feng An continued to sip his tea, he didn't let Liu Mu see these people because he knew what they wanted, since Liu Mu accepted the gift, let Liu Mu face it.

After sitting down, the elder of the Ning clan spoke first: "I heard that Concubine Liu went north to Youzhou. This wool seems useless, but Concubine Liu has the ability to turn stones into gold."

"Ah! Let's not talk nonsense. You are all elders. To put it simply and directly, what you mean is that we cooperate and earn a lot of coins. Is that what you mean?"

Liu Mu's words were too direct, and the six of them didn't know how to answer the words for a moment.

Feng An then put down his teacup: "That's what it means. You are direct, but let my six uncles know how to deal with it. You are really an interesting person. In a few days on auspicious days, you will be in front of my grandmother's ancestral hall. , I become brothers with you. Since we are from our own family, let's stop talking nonsense and just say it directly."

"I just had an idea just now, let's set up a company called Xiganghao."

"and then?"

"This Xigang number must have people who are merchants, and there must be people who protect the merchants and kill people. To give the simplest example, the person surnamed Wen is crazy. Let's turn all those surnamed Wen and those who support Wen into slaves." , Then in Cochin, do many people become very obedient, and these obedient people go to work, and we let some people earn money first and become rich."

Feng An was confused: "This is a matter of war, what does it have to do with the company?"

"No, this is the company's guard to fight against those who affect the company's business. The guard can spend money to hire thugs, or you can spend money to hire your... army. Then we can sit in a safe place and do business safely."

Liu Mu talked for a full two hours.

All the plans can refer to the entire process and working style of the later East India Company in the mature stage.

The six old men and Feng An almost bowed their heads.

No wonder Liu Mu was able to have the right to speak in the court before reaching the crown. This method is unpredictable.

"How about it, how about this method?" Liu Mu finally stopped, pouring tea fiercely.

The paper used for recording here is already more than one foot thick, and the clan elders could never imagine that Liu Mu has never read a book, and there is such a complicated and complete set of rules and ways of doing things in his head.

"My idea, plus my business route, and my [-] sets of armor, I want [-]%. Old brother, if you send [-] soldiers, and some money and food, it will also take [-]%. Take [-]%. Then [-]% of the profit will be deducted from all expenses and handed over to Emperor Datang, which is called a franchise fee. Of course, if there is any trouble, Datang will stand behind it.”

After discussing with Feng An and the other seven people, the final result was that one of the four would go to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and then they would not be charged any more taxes.Feng An thought clearly, leaning against a big tree can enjoy the shade, and too little handed over to the court is not good-looking.

More importantly, the number five is not very auspicious in Datang.For example, for the Dragon Boat Festival, five is written as the word for afternoon.

So Feng An would rather keep less, and take one of the four and return it to the Emperor of Tang.

Each of the six clans took [-] guan coins, each sent [-] clan members, and Liu Mu added another [-] taels of gold coins to establish the West Port Company.

Feng An didn't let his son lead the team, he led the troops southward himself.

Su Dingfang couldn't sit still: "Mr. Lang, we don't need to fight this war. They all have some opinions."

"There is no military merit after this fight, what's the point?"

"It doesn't matter if you have military merit or not. I have been training for almost a year. I have traveled thousands of miles from Chang'an to here. It is too shameful to go back without a knife out of its sheath." Su Dingfang represented the wishes of all the soldiers who went south.

Liu Mu thought for a while: "Okay, draw lots, keep 500 people here, and then you go to fight. There is a small rule this time, don't forget to allow looting."

Su Dingfang kept five hundred of the most elite, and then led the rest to follow Feng An to the south.

Feng Ang was also very happy, and according to the rules of the company, he gave Su Dingfang a mercenary fee of 5000 Wen per person per day for [-] people, and the money was paid for combat achievements, and the amount of money for senior officers was doubled.

All the soldiers who went out were paid as mercenaries.

Feng An believed in Liu Mu's calculations, this amount of money was nothing compared to what they earned, so the money given to the soldiers was quite generous.

Feng An gave his soldiers 25 Wen per day per person, military merits in battle, etc., and other rewards.Fifty percent of the booty goes to the sergeant himself, and slaves have a marked purchase price.

It can be said that Feng An's rules for the Xigang firm are 100% implemented according to the plan that Liu Muna thought of at the moment.

Whether it is good or not, it is not too late to change after a period of implementation.

The city of Guangzhou became quiet all at once, and many businessmen started to run southward, and they all arrived at Yangjiang City, Feng An's base camp. They were waiting for the results, and when the Xigang Company officially released the business space, they heard that there was a lot of business to do.

Liumu sent Cui Yiye, Gao Xingxing, and Dou Shikuan to the shipyard, where there were countless timbers and countless craftsmen. I believe that in three to four months, the ghost worker brought by Liumu would be able to make several new boats. The boat is coming.

Liumu's Guangzhou garden, Liumu is also very busy.

From morning to night, Liu Mu sat in the back garden and directed two craftsmen to give him a millstone to grind the green-patterned Yunlong stone.

"It's been three days." Dugu Lanruo drank the bitter yellow lotus water, while looking at her tongue in the mirror, it still hurt.

Baoqin was worse than Dugu Lanruo, with many blisters in her mouth, so painful that she couldn't even drink hot water.

"Gluttony, it's all caused by gluttony." Dugu Lanruo sighed in self-pity.

Baoqin covered her mouth and said nothing, she hadn't spoken for two days, her mouth hurt.

After eating [-] lychees in one go, she only had blisters in her mouth and it was considered very light.

"What is Mr. Lang doing?" Dugu Lanruo asked again.
