Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 508 A Little Secret
Once Tuli Little Khan was settled, Li Jing's plan for the Northern Expedition was officially launched.

Li Daozong brought together his troops and began to send troops to the Hou Sui Dynasty, and then the troops from all around began to move to the Hou Sui Dynasty one after another, encircling but not attacking, attracting Xieli to rescue, and then encircling and attacking for help.

The little Turkic Khan announced the entire grassland, listing more than 100 large and small Turkic tribes, announcing their separation from Jieli Yazhang.

Overnight, the grassland was full of wind and clouds, and many tribes who originally planned to follow Jieli to plunder southward panicked.

But Liu Mu left the core area of ​​the battlefield and went to a hot spring called Bulong Lake in Shuofang County.Li Yuan, the great emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was going to visit Yunzhou City. He wanted to take a look at the development of Yunzhou.

When Li Yuan was ready to go out, he didn't expect Liu Mu to run to some hot spring without making a sound.

Li Yuan had no choice but to order to go to the hot spring first, and then ordered Liu Mu to take him to Yunzhou.

Hearing that the Supreme Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was going to Yunzhou, Princess Rencheng Liu Ruyu was glad that her younger brother had delayed the Supreme Emperor for a few days, so she hurried back to Yunzhou to make some preparations.

Then he sent someone to look for Liu Mu, hoping that Liu Mu would help the Supreme Emperor to delay some more time, and the later he arrived in Yunzhou, the better.

Li Yuan couldn't be hidden from these small actions, and there was no need to hide them from Li Yuan.

Li Yuan didn't care at all, he had too much time, he didn't care if he went one day earlier or one day later.

In Bulong Lake Hot Spring, Liu Mu was doing some indescribable things with Su Erling, holding a piano and appearing beside Liu Mu like a ghost, and said: "Don't stop, I'll just say a few words."

How could Liu Mu not stop, he was really pissed off by holding the piano.

Su Woling didn't dare to complain at all.

"In a word, what do Liang Shidu's family members do? They sent Liang Shidu and some loyal, beautiful concubines, and daughters here. The Supreme Emperor will be here in two days at most, you have to advance Make an idea."

"You did it on purpose." Liu Mu was furious, this kind of thing is not about going to the house on fire.

Baoqin smiled mischievously: "It's broad daylight now, how could I have thought of..."

"Jealous?"

"Jealous, what do you mean?" Baoqin looked puzzled.

It was only then that Liu Mu realized that the allusion of jealousy only existed in the fourth or fifth year of Zhenguan, and it was caused by Fang Xuanling.It is normal for Baoqin not to understand.

"Don't trick me on purpose, I will quietly tell you a big secret at night."

Baoqin Wan'er smiled, turned over and jumped into the bushes, and disappeared like a ghost again.

At this time, there was no way to continue some things, Liu Mu signaled Su Woling to go to another tent in the hot spring, and he had some things to think about.

It would be a lie to say that Su Erling has no hostility towards Baoqin, but what can she do with Baoqin.

Not to mention how much Liu Mu is used to pampering Baoqin, there is Princess Chang Pingxiu behind Baoqin, even though Su Woling resents her heart, she still has to bow her head and smile in front of Baoqin.

To Liu Mu's surprise, Su Erling came back after leaving Baoqin.

This time Liu Mu reached out and grabbed Bao Qin's feet and dragged Bao Qin into the hot spring. Bao Qin didn't even have any strength, and Liu Mu dragged her into the hot spring, making her clothes soaked.

But Liu Mu didn't say anything to Baoqin, just dragged Baoqin into the hot spring.

After Baoqin sat down, he said in a low voice: "There is something faster and bigger than you imagined, sir. It was only a few days after we inadvertently revealed the news of Donggang Company that day. People from Taiyuan Wang and Fan Yang Lu who are in charge of business in the north here sent heavy gifts, and there were many temptations in their words."

"It seems that this is the serious business." Liu Mu suspected just now that Baoqin should not be so boring as to play a prank on himself.

"There is one more thing, because you only stayed in Chang'an for half a day, sir. The princess sent a letter, saying that Mrs. Xie was going to visit the mansion. Among them, the daughter-in-law who is about to marry also followed in the name of asking to learn some etiquette."

Liu Mu didn't answer, and said: "Let's talk about our business first, Baoqin, do you think this is the right time for Donggang Company?"

"Truly let me say that it's time to slowly prepare for the official start at the beginning of next year. After the north is stable, it's time to start. It's just the big treasurer of this term, no, the Supreme Emperor has already decreed that the name of the Westport business will be changed to Westport Bosi, the chief treasurer. It is called Ship Secretary, and has the title of Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. The first Ship Secretary here in Donggang, Mr. Lang can choose someone."

"There is no need to choose. Donggang is aimed at the peninsula and Wa Island, and Pei Shiqing is the best candidate." Liu Mu had already thought that such talents should be of greater use.

But Baoqin said: "I heard that Mr. Pei is kind and respectful."

This is the first time that Baoqin has put forward different opinions on Liumu's ideas, which makes Liumu both surprised and pleasantly surprised.

but!

Liu Mu didn't praise Baoqin, let alone encourage Baoqin. Instead, he said: "Are you being a little cruel to the Japanese people in this way of thinking? After all, they are barely half human."

This was originally a joke, but Baoqin took it seriously.

Baoqin said: "If Su Woling is thrown into the sea, maybe I think Mr. Pei is a good candidate."

What Baoqin said was angry, and Liumu said even colder: "I can't do this, I have already decided. Su Woling will be the only living person of the Suga family on Washima Island."

"What?" Baoqin suspected that she had heard wrong.

"Don't doubt, my qin. Are you interested in listening to the little secret I was going to tell you tonight."

"interested in."

"You know what's under our feet?"

Baoqin didn't speak immediately, but leaned out of the hot spring and blew a very sharp whistle. After several whistles, Baoqin asked: "What?"

"It is estimated that the world's largest open-pit coal mining area stretches for hundreds of miles. After digging out the floating soil on the surface, there will be enough coal for the Tang Dynasty to use for 1 years, and it is high-quality fine coal."

Baoqin didn't come back to his senses for a long time, when Liumu was about to speak again, Baoqin turned over and rode on Liumu, then hugged Liumu tightly and said in a low voice: "Mr. think."

"Thinking about what?"

"I want to go there to get money, but we have no money." Baoqin's voice became lower and lower.

Liu Mu laughed loudly: "Could it be possible that you still want to divide this stretch of hundreds of miles into our family's territory? This is impossible. The nobles of the Tang Dynasty will tear us up and swallow us."

"That's not charcoal, that's black silver." Baoqin's eyes changed.

Since the Tang Dynasty began to use coal, coal has gradually replaced firewood and become a necessary energy source for the people.Along all the canals, it is rare to see anyone burning firewood.
