Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 487
Li Shimin opened the letter, and the first sentence in the letter was that the saint is well and Lingnan is well.

This sentence takes up a page.

Turning to the second page, Li Shimin did not see the current situation in Lingnan that he wanted to see, but a balance sheet written in small print and extremely thin lines.Li Shimin's brows were twisted into twists. He barely understood the words and symbols on it, but he couldn't understand this watch at all.

Then turn to the third page, and there is another form called the income statement.

Turning back, there is another form, this form is called the profitability analysis form.

And then... no more.

There are only four sheets of paper in a letter, one small sheet and three large sheets.

For half an hour, Li Shimin studied the three forms with a magnifying glass, until finally Li Shimin had the urge to scatter the three forms into pieces.

Finally, Li Shimin suppressed the restlessness in his heart and put away the three forms.He believed that these three sheets of paper hid a huge secret, otherwise Liu Mu would not have bothered to make the forms himself and then filled these forms and sent them to him.

"Well, this king already has some understanding of Lingnan. The things in Lingnan are hard work, and so are the people who travel with him."

It doesn't matter if you don't understand, the important thing is that you are the king of Qin, the general of Tiance, and the crown prince, and this will not affect you at all. .The blessings of the people in Chang'an, the blessings of the Tang Dynasty."

"His Highness Xie praised that Lingnan's specialties are as rich as those in Jiangnan. Liu Fuma once said that the degree of dependence of Lingnan on the Central Plains determines the loyalty of even a small people in Lingnan to Chang'an. Among them, Jiangnan Dongdao, Hangzhou is even more important." Gao Xing stepped forward to report.

Li Shimin couldn't help scolding Liu Mu in his heart, what kind of complicated table to draw, how simple and direct a report like this is.

Immediately, people can understand that the candidate for the chief executive of Jiangnan West Road and the candidate for the prefect of Hangzhou Mansion.These two people are very, very important. I just need to choose reliable and capable people. That form is too nerve-wracking.

Gao Xing took another list and sent it: "Your Highness, this is the list of the next batch of Lingnan goods. Even if there are discrepancies, there will be very few adjustments."

"Well, very good." Li Shimin was very satisfied after seeing the list.

This is tantamount to completely killing the spice trade of the Persian merchants. If the Persian merchants want to get silk from Chang'an again, the only thing that the Persian merchants want to get from Chang'an is the gem trade.

Gao Xing took out three more badges from his sleeve: "Your Highness, here are three badges, namely the Silk Support Watch, the Porcelain Production Increase Watch, and the Shipbuilding Watch."

After Li Shimin took it, he briefly looked through it. This is Liu Mu's suggestion, hoping that the production of raw silk in Jiangnan will increase several times, the production of porcelain in the fifteen major porcelain production areas will increase, and the Laizhou Shipyard will increase its efforts to build good ships and large ships.Then it was proposed that the canal ships must be improved and the number increased.

The writing on the form was very simple and clear, and Li Shimin didn't realize it for a long time.

Because Li Yuan, Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was in Lingnan, why would Liumu...

Li Shimin understands that there are some things that cannot be said clearly. It is obvious that the power of Datang has begun to be slowly transferred to him, and his father Li Yuan may also recognize this point.

Li Shimin said: "This king already understands that this matter will be discussed with the three provinces."

Ma Zhou stepped forward: "Your Highness, last year I talked about the Silk Road with Prince Liu, Prince Prince Liu proposed four words, and I thought it was a great kindness."

"speak!"

"A merchant with a sword."

Li Shimin sighed heavily. After the end of the Jin Dynasty, the world was in chaos, the Western Regions were no longer accessible, and the Silk Road had been cut off for hundreds of years. The amount of goods that Persian merchants had in 100 years was not as good as that of the Han Dynasty. Year.

Opening up the ancient Silk Road is what Li Shimin wants to do most besides killing Jieli.

"Elder Gao, you should handle the goods from Lingnan and Chang'an in person. The concubine Liu needs to transport as much goods as possible to Lingnan. Let me think about the rest of the matter."

"Yes!"

After the three of them retreated, Xiao Yu was waiting not far from the door.

When Gao Jian came to Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu handed Gao Jian an official document. Gao Jian opened it and saw that it was a letter from Honglu Temple. Many Persian businessmen hoped to borrow boats to go to Lingnan, and hoped that Honglu Temple would provide convenience.

"Xiao Gong, what do you mean?"

"I'm here to ask your opinion." Xiao Yu kicked the ball back again.

Gao Jian said in a low voice: "My Tang Dynasty has a vast land and abundant resources. I don't have anything I want. Except for gold and silver, those goods from foreign lands are just a pile of junk. What do you care about? Liu Concubine is obviously going to cut off the Persian merchants." Why should we give Persian merchants a way to survive.”

"There is still a way to survive, and I heard that from Persia, there is a sea route to Lingnan."

Gao Jian said with a smile: "Then let them go by sea."

Xiao Yu took out another official document and handed it to Gao Jian.

This one is about building a special bazaar in Guangzhou for overseas businessmen.

"This one needs to be discussed again." Gao Jian couldn't make up his mind for a while, but Xiao Yu said: "Let Mr. Ling take it to Lingnan."

"Okay!" This time Gao Jian agreed without a second word.

Xiao Yu obviously wanted to consult Liu Mu's opinion, so Gao Jian had no reason to refuse.

Gao Jian said to Xiao Yu: "Old Xiao, there are two kinds of merchants. One is righteous merchants. These people trade different goods from north to south to make up for the shortage. It is beneficial to our Tang Dynasty. The other is profit merchants. As far as the spices are concerned, I know in the south of the Five Ridges that grass fruits are picked from the mountains, and the undried ones cost more than ten yuan a basket."

"That's right. The old man doesn't like these fan merchants very much. They only want to make profits, not righteousness."

Gao Jian interjected: "I also edited a book. Our Concubine Liu is really too soft-hearted. I heard that some people in the south of the Five Ridges gathered in the city to stand on their own feet and incited unruly people to affect the harvest in the forest. Concubine Liu's opinion is ready for Huairou. Kill him, kill him cleanly, kill him peacefully."

Xiao Yu laughed loudly: "Then please ask Duke Gao to write a letter, and I will also write one. But although I don't know the details about Huairou, I can't blame Duke Yue."

"I really don't blame him. If I think about it, he also knows that many people impeach him with disobedience, so he dare not use his sword lightly. If Duke Yi went south with him, I'm afraid it would save a lot of trouble."

When Gao Jian said this, both of them laughed.

In fact, who said that Liu Mu would not dare to kill people.

At this time in Lingnan, more than a dozen people were hanged to death in Fanggang.

The first to be hanged were locals.

Among the second batch of hanged people were Han Chinese.

The third group hanged five Persians and two cannibals.

In a forest, Liu Mu whipped a red-bearded Persian even harder with a whip, and scolded as he whipped: "Damn it, it's a pity that he didn't bring someone who knows how to torture."
