Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 478

After Li and Wu left, Feng An said to Liu Mu: "It is really impossible for the soldiers in Aizhou to escape. If Wen Jing seals the city, the people will not be allowed to come out with their soldiers. Then the people in Aizhou will Seeing that someone picked a lot of things in the forest west of their city and made money, but they didn't get any, there must be trouble."

"Brother Gao Ming."

"We send troops to suppress the formation, put pressure on them, and then receive the goods under their noses. Cash and spot transactions, I don't believe that the city of Aizhou will not be chaotic. If he dares to send troops, we will be on the defensive with ease, and he will not send troops in the city. One day they will turn against him and even kill him."

"Brother is clever." Feng An fought for many years, once Liu Mu's little trick was used, he immediately perfected it, and used the trick even more perfectly.

Feng An was not afraid of fighting, but in a siege battle, the attacking side would definitely suffer, and Feng An did not want his subordinates to sacrifice for nothing.

Liu Mu poured the wine for Feng An, and Feng An picked up the wine glass: "To be honest, I still don't really believe that I can make money with those grass fruits, cinnamon bark, nutmeg, etc., and Chang'an City has never sold them. But I believe in spices, and my brother has also seen it. It is very troublesome to boil and steam a handful of herbs, but the final essential oil is a good thing.”

"There is another good thing. But I don't know how to fix it. People who understand this thing need to study how to turn it into money."

"What?" Feng An asked with a smile.

Willow pointed to the outside of the pavilion, where there were a few plants, I don't know if they were plantains, or bananas, or what kind of plantains they were.Liu Mu doesn't know much about this, but he knows that abaca is the best fiber among hemp fibers.

Feng An stared at the banana for a long time, but couldn't figure out what this plant could do.

The fruit that bears will surely rot when transported to Chang'an.

"Ma!" Liu Mu said.

"Hemp?" Feng An looked at Liu Mu in surprise, and Liu Mu nodded: "It's this kind of plant, but it seems to be divided into many small species. One kind has a high rate of hemp production and is of high quality."

Feng An got up and chopped off a banana with a knife, and Liu Mu also stepped forward to check.

The two pulled the banana leaf and the banana pole aside to the ground, Feng An himself patted the banana pole slowly with stones.

During the beating, Feng An said to Liu Mu: "We have a lot of ramie and jute here. I didn't expect this thing to have hemp."

Soon, there is indeed a fine fiber feeling after slapping.

"Come here!" Feng An was the kind of master who acted vigorously, and immediately ordered his subordinates to find dozens of hemp craftsmen to see how much hemp this thing contained and what its quality was.

Then instruct me to choose different varieties of this banana, and then compare the yield and quality of hemp.

"I heard that the fine part of this thing can be used for weaving clothes, and the thick part can be used for weaving rope, and it is not afraid of sea water. My soft sail may be woven with this kind of hemp."

After Liu Mu finished speaking, Feng An pointed to his subordinates: "Go and do it quickly, I will see the result within half a month."

"Order."

After Feng An's subordinates withdrew, Feng An laughed: "This thing is good. It grows tall and big. The farther you go south, the more it grows. It is like grass all over the mountains and plains. If you cut this piece, the roots will sprout next year. If it grows new, you can cut it for another one or two years, and then you can go back and cut it again.”

"I just don't know, which kind of banana has better hemp."

"This is a small problem, let them try it, and it will always work out." Feng An gulped down the wine, very happy.

Liu Mu could feel that Feng An was not interested in Jiaozhi in the past because of the poor mountains and rivers, but now it is different, Feng An has already felt the huge wealth here.

Time passed day after day, just as Feng An predicted, Wen Jing was going crazy, he sealed off the city to prevent anyone from coming to the north.According to Feng An's spies' report, many people in Aizhou City wanted to kill Wen Jing.

Feng An became more and more stable. Right now, north of Changzhou, Feng An has already begun to prepare to build cities in six locations to expand his control over this piece of land.

Especially after finding countless unknown trees with balsam in a mountainous area, Feng An decided to build a city.

In the cracks on the bark, there is a large amount of naturally dried resin, which is designated as a top-grade spice.

Both Liu Mu and Feng An didn't know much about these plants. In fact, they found wild Benziaceae incense trees and styrax trees and other trees here.

The place where Feng An wanted to build the city was near the later generation Sang Nu.

Feng An handed over the confrontation with Aizhou to his son Feng Zhidai and General Lei Hu.He personally went to several important spice producing areas to check the location of the city.

Liu Mu accompanied Dugu Lanruo on vacation in Halong Bay.

Hundreds of wooden houses have been built here, and a beach has been specially cleared.

On this day, Liu Mu set up his formation for an interesting little gamble, but saw a boat approaching in the distance.After picking up the binoculars and taking a look, Liu Mu said to Dugu Lanruo: "It's weird, the flag on the boat is Feng Zhijian's flag."

"The eldest son of the Duke of Yue, he is not guarding the old camp, how could he come here." Dugu Lanruo also got up and looked into the distance.

Feng Zhichen is the eldest son, known as the little prince in Lingnan, calm and reliable.When Feng An went south, he handed over the old camp to his eldest son, and also asked his own brother Feng Xuan to guard Guangzhou.

Someone on the boat was waving a semaphore, and the boat on Liumu's side was in charge of the guard to get out of the way.

The rest of the boats parked in the bay, only Feng Zhichen's boat came to the wharf on Liumu's side.

Liu Mu also hurried to the pier. At this time, Liu Mu was wearing a fine linen jacket, the length of his trousers was only up to his knees, and the clothes were also short-sleeved.Her hair was cut short so she didn't need a crown, and she didn't have any decorations on her body. She wore a pair of hemp rope slippers on her feet, and held a coconut with a thin bamboo tube in her hand.

The boat came to the pier, and some sailors put the planks on it, and Feng Zhichen jumped out of the boat.

"Little..." Liu Mu was about to ask Feng Zhichen why he came here, but he saw Feng Zhichen standing upright, while Tang Emperor Li Yuan walked off the board.

"Father, father!" Liu Mujing didn't even feel the coconut in his hand fell to the ground, and stood there blankly, forgetting to salute.

Li Yuan looked Liu Mu up and down, and said slowly: "It seems that you can live well no matter where you are."

"Father." Liu Mu hurried forward to help.

Li Yuan said to Liu Mu again: "Go and change quickly, and accompany Weifu to Fanggang to have a look, and let the others rest here for a few days."

Dugu Lanruo just rushed over. Like Liu Mu, she didn't have any jewelry on her body, and she was also wearing fine linen clothes. This is cooler than silk, and it won't stick to her body like silk when she gets wet.

"Chang Ping's complexion is quite good, and he greeted Concubine Wan Gui for a few days on behalf of the father."
