Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 479 Li Yuan to Lingnan

Li Yuan arranged for the concubines in the harem to stay in Halong Bay, and Dugu Lanruo made the arrangements.

"Yes!" Dugu Lanruo also never expected how Li Yuan would come here, and also brought a concubine with a title from the palace, after a simple answer of yes, she didn't know what to say.

Li Yuan didn't say anything more, and took Liu Mu into Feng Zhichen's boat, and the other boat took Concubine Wan Gui to disembark here.

The rest of the boats turned around and went to Fanggang with Li Yuan.

In the cabin, Li Yuan said to Liu Mu: "May [-]th, Yuanji's two-year memorial day, Jiancheng wants to kill me, and he also wants to kill Erlang. Originally, I thought his guts would be to force the palace at most, but I thought he wanted to kill me. "

Li Yuan's tone had a sense of ridicule, neither anger nor sorrow.

Liu Mu sat in the lower seat and didn't speak, he didn't know what to say at this time.

Li Yuan asked again: "You knew it before?"

"My son doesn't know."

"You, don't you know?" Li Yuan asked.

Liu Mu said softly: "I really don't know, but anyone with a discerning eye can see clearly that the prince and the King of Qin can only live one, and the one who fails probably won't survive for the whole family."

"It's a good word, but it's a pity..." Li Yuan didn't continue. He originally wanted to say that it's a pity that he didn't see this.He swallowed the words to the edge of his mouth, and changed his mouth and said, "Why do you want to go south?"

"My eldest brother-in-law can't leave. Chang'an has no leading generals. I can't do anything if I stay. This kind of thing can't be just a matter between two people, it is a matter of two different interest groups. From history In fact, there are several emperors whose origins to the throne are impeccable."

Li Yuan didn't refute, what Liu Mu said made sense.

Even Qin Huang Han Wu, they also fought for it, either by themselves or with the help of others.

"Forget it, let's not talk about Chang'an, how about here?" Li Yuan stopped discussing about Chang'an, he came here to relax, so he didn't want to mention Chang'an anymore.

"Father, the sky is high and the emperor is far away here." Liu Mu started with this taboo sentence, but Li Yuan quite agreed, there is no mistake that the sky is high and the emperor is far away.

From Chang'an to here, if you travel by land, you may not be able to get here in three months.

From Lingnan to Chang'an, not only is the transportation inconvenient, but the information is also quite blocked.

"Feng An has the heart of disobedience?"

"He didn't, but others might not."

Li Yuan nodded: "Before becoming a father, I heard rumors that some of Feng An's subordinates hoped that he would proclaim himself the King of Lingnan. It just happened to meet Feng An this time. Tell me about your situation here."

"Father, it's better to wait until you meet Feng An."

"Okay." Li Yuan reluctantly agreed.

Hong Kong.

Hearing that the Emperor Tang came to Lingnan in person, Feng An immediately rushed to Fanggang to meet him.

"The sage is above, and my minister Feng An wishes the sage blessings all over the world and peace and prosperity for thousands of years." Feng An knelt on one knee on the pier and offered a big gift. In the Tang Dynasty, kneeling on the ground is a very important gift. In ordinary times, even if you meet the emperor There is no need to kneel down.

Li Yuan took two steps forward and stretched out his hand to help Feng An up: "I have heard of the name of Aiqing for a long time, and seeing her today is indeed very majestic."

"Sir, panic!"

"Go, show me here." Li Yuan ordered.

Feng An got up but smiled awkwardly: "I don't know any ministers here, everything is arranged by Concubine Liu."

"He..." Li Yuan pointed at Liu Mu: "He's not enjoying himself in Halong Bay."

"Father, I'm not carefree, but thinking about how to make Lingnan people's lives better. Thinking hard is harder than working hard." Liu Mu quickly defended himself.

Li Yuan didn't expose Liu Mu, but only ordered: "Take me to have a look."

There is a small workshop area here in Fanggang. Compared with Liumu's workshop area in the four northern counties of Chang'an, it is pitifully small, but it is the first real workshop area in Jiaozhi County that is higher than a small family workshop.

When Tang Emperor Li Yuan came here, Feng An had already dispatched four hundred soldiers to clean up the surrounding people.

But that's it, there are still many, many people around the soldiers.

Li Yuan looked around, without asking, and motioned to Liu Mu to take him into the workshop.

In the first area, there is a lot of moisture, and there are big stoves burning everywhere, which makes the already hot place even hotter. Li Yuan's whole body is drenched with sweat after standing for a while.

A craftsman came to the shade with a basket, saluted and then retreated.

Liu Mu placed porcelain vases one by one on the long table: "Father, these have not been named yet. The perfumer from the palace is trying to put all the flowers, grasses, roots, barks, branches, and fruits that can be seen. Pressed into essential oils, these essential oils are not finished products, and need to be further processed in a larger workshop."

Essential oils are both spices and herbs.

The Taoist priests of the Tang Dynasty had several ways to find out the medicinal value of each essential oil, but they couldn’t do it here. Most of the people who have this technology are in Chang’an.

Li Yuan has smelled every porcelain bottle. It can be said that the fragrances are different, but they all feel good spices.

"Are you going to transport it to Chang'an?" Li Yuan asked.

"Well, that's the plan. But it needs a process. This is not a workshop, it can only be an experimental workshop. After a while, the bidding will start, and ordinary small businessmen will bid to buy one of them, or A few recipes, and then really start mass production.”

Li Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

Liu Mu added: "Currently the spice business in Chang'an City is almost monopolized by Persian merchants. Instead of letting Persian merchants earn money, it is better to keep this money in Datang."

"Very good."

Next, Mafang.

We are still experimenting with different bananas here, hoping to find the banana variety with the highest yield and highest quality.

Feng An said to Li Yuan: "Sage, brother Mu and I look at these bananas no matter how you look at them, there are some capable people here who can divide these bananas into dozens, and even say that bananas are divided into male and female, which sounds very interesting." .Under heavy rewards, talented people will definitely work hard.”

"Well, well said." Li Yuan couldn't help but praised.

Li Yuan picked up a few pieces of cloth for trial weaving, and compared one of them with Liumu: "This hemp can already be woven like yarn, and it is very soft. But the dyeing is not good, so it seems that we need to study it further." One or two."

"Father, please come here." Liu Mu took Li Yuan to another place next to him.

There are many people digging holes and burying grass here.

Liu Mu introduced: "They bury these grasses and ferment them, and then one hundred catties of grass can be made into about three catties of indigo. Further south here, there are countless grasses and flowers. Now it is known that there are blue, blue, and yellow flowers. , red and purple dyes."
