Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 481 The Shocked Emperor of the Tang Dynasty
Feng An's two simple sentences made Liu Mu admire him, this is the real mastery of a great man.

Feng An took out a book and held it in front of Li Yuan with both hands.

Li Yuan took it, and saw that it was written: "Xigang Company, Rules and Regulations."

Li Yuan flipped through the pages and looked at them. There are five iron laws, twelve rules, and more than 70 detailed rules.

This is a handbook compiled by Feng Ang according to the proposal at that time, and after making detailed revisions according to the special situation in Lingnan.

Every member of the Westport Company must abide by this rule unconditionally.

"This book..." Li Yuan couldn't find a suitable word to praise it. This thing is definitely a treasure book for Lingnan, and it perfectly presents the expansion of Lingnan to the south.

It can be said that as long as Lingnan continues to expand slowly to the south, and a large amount of precious materials needed by Chang'an are transported to Chang'an.Then Lingnan will definitely unite as one, and Lingnan cannot be separated from Chang'an at all. Without Chang'an, Lingnan's expansion would be meaningless, and its goods would have no place to ship.

Feng An said slowly at this time: "Saint, it is a loss to the court if Prince Liu does not become an official. Based on this book, I think it is not too much to protect a third-rank official."

"Is this what Xiaomu did?" Li Yuan was taken aback.

Liu Mu stuck out his tongue, but he didn't dare answer the words. Feng An said, "It was his dictation, and I sent someone to sort it out. It's just that some details have been adjusted according to the customs of Lingnan."

At the end of the willows, the East India Company of later generations was almost perfect in the early stage.

Various reasons such as corruption, over-squeezing in the later period, and the inability of its fragile commercial capital to compete with the industrial capital of the British mainland led to the demise of the East India Company.

But upfront, it was absolutely perfect.

And another method used by Liu Mu is to set up a separate firm for each place, and then let these separate firms compete internally.

In the Willow plan, Tamna Company, Hami Company, and Liuzhao Company will appear in the future.

Feng An began to explain his plan to Li Yuan, by slowly attacking Panyu people and slowly devouring the residential areas of Panyu people, and no matter how much money he made, Lingnan would enter a good development period.

Feng An even came up with an imperfect ten-year plan.

And this time, Ha Long Bay.

Dugu Lanruo is continuing the willow game, a very interesting gamble game.

Concubine Wan Gui issued another one-hundred-count IOU. She frowned when she changed into light and cool linen clothes, tightly holding her silk handkerchief with both hands, her vermilion lips parted slightly, and her silver teeth clenched tightly.But his eyes were fixed on the buckets on the row of tables.

There is a bucket of sea clams in each bucket.

Not only Concubine Wan Gui, but also all the concubines who followed Li Yuan to the south participated in this game, that is, many court ladies pooled money together to participate in this game.

Another boat docked at the pier after inspection.

The ama on the boat put buckets of sea mussels on the pier, and then took away a note. With this note, she can get linen, silk, silk, or rice, money and other things.

Concubine Wan Gui came to the pier and looked at the divers who were carrying buckets.He opened his mouth and asked: "When I was in Chang'an, it was rumored that there were female divers in Lingnan, and many female divers would not live to be 30 years old, which is pitiful."

"That was before, not now." Dugu Lanruo replied from the side.

"No?" Concubine Wan Gui was puzzled.

Dugu Lanruo pointed to a sea girl: "You are exhausted, Ruo is strong enough to demonstrate how you go into the water once."

Hainu doesn't know Concubine Wan Gui, but she knows that Dugu Lanruo is definitely the most honorable woman in Lingnan, and she is the princess from Chang'an City Datang with the highest title.

At the moment, the amas start shaking those booms on their boats.

A very large wooden barrel was hung on the boom, and then one iron cage after another began to hang on the other boom.Two divers stood in the huge wooden barrel, each of them stuffed one hand into a glove made of sheepskin and fixed in the barrel, and the rest began to shake the boom with difficulty.

Dugu Lanruo explained from the side: "When they go out to sea, the male boatman is responsible for driving the boat and manipulating the crane. Their strength is still a bit weak."

Concubine Wan Gui expressed that she understood that no man was allowed to approach the place where they were now, so it was the sea girl who drove the boat to deliver the goods.

Soon, the huge wooden barrel was hoisted to the surface of the sea, and then another iron cage with a boom was hung on the side of the barrel.With the weight of the iron cage, the wooden barrel immediately sank into the water, and about one-fifth of the wooden barrel was pulled by the hanging rod on the water surface.

Someone put the glass lid with an iron buckle on the wooden barrel, but it was not locked from the outside, but was locked by two seawater inside the wooden barrel. The diver pulled the rope a few times, and immediately someone hung the other iron cages on the top of the bucket.

The top immediately turned sideways, and then the boom quickly released the rope, and the bucket sank to the bottom of the sea.

Dugu Lanruo said to Concubine Wan Gui: "Right now, you can dive down to 650 feet. After making this wooden barrel, I tested it. When it was [-] feet deep, the thick glass part began to seep and some cracked."

Concubine Wan Gui was a kind-hearted person, and asked: "What if it suddenly breaks?"

"These seawater are former experienced pearl divers. There is a mechanism on this wooden barrel, which can put seawater into the barrel. When the seawater is full of the wooden barrel, the lid can be opened from the inside. With their ability in the sea , hold your breath and rush back to the surface of the sea.”

Speaking of this, Dugu Lanruo added another sentence: "Once the wooden barrel breaks, there will definitely be some injuries. If you encounter a very vicious big fish in the sea, you will die, but it is better than before. At least these few months Now, only two people had to escape because of water seepage in the wooden barrel. One of them was unharmed and the other vomited blood."

Concubine Wan Gui asked about the divers on the boat again, and the information she got was that too many people died before, and only one person was injured in the past few months, and the injury was not serious, so she was very grateful.

Moreover, Zhufang promises that as long as the first batch of steel from Chang'an is shipped to Lingnan, it will make diving barrels supported by steel frames in wooden barrels, and large pearl boats with [-] materials. nice beads.

After the sea girl who brought the beads left, Dugu Lanruo smiled coldly: "But if you go farther, Zhufang will not let them go. They are from Tang Dynasty, and it is enough to know how to train the sea girls and how to distinguish pearls and clams. Wa Dao There are countless divers, and they are the right candidates for pearl hunting in the distant sea.”

Concubine Wan Gui nodded seriously: "Yes, these girls are pretty good, those Japanese girls are short in stature, I'm afraid it would be more convenient to be in the barrel."
