Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 549

Li Shimin asked again: "Then the Japanese slaves peeped at my Tang Shenwei ordnance, and it can be verified."

"Returning to the sage, Yi Guozheng sent people to do their best to investigate, but judging from the Japanese credentials this time, the Japanese may not know about Little General Pao, but they do know about Fruit Pao." Xiao Yu replied again.

Li Shimin asked the third question: "In Xiao Gong's opinion, do the Japanese have ambitions for the Central Plains?"

"I think..." Xiao Yu hesitated, he knew that his answer meant life and death for the Japanese.

Li Shimin is not in a hurry, he is not the king of Qin now but the emperor, and he is waiting for the opinions of the important officials in the court.

Xiao Yu turned sideways and quickly made eye contact with Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Ting, Cui Junsu and other prominent families and important ministers, then took a step forward and bowed: "Sage, I think the Japanese have ambitions."

"Okay, let's make a discussion. I propose that Changsun Wuji be the first East Harbor Ship Commander, Pei Shiqing be the Left Deputy Commander, and Liu Rengui be the Right Deputy Commander. Discuss Liu's son-in-law's plan again if you need to adjust it. I mean, let’s do it this way.” Li Shimin’s most disgusting thing is that someone is spying on his authority from the dark.

Even if the Japanese are not so hateful as to die, but Liu Mu wants to destroy them, so be it.

In any case, there are millions of slaves who can supplement Datang's population, which is a good thing.

"The ministers take orders, the saints are wise."

Li Shimin was very satisfied with everyone's attitude, and continued: "The Shangshu will discuss whether to use troops against Gaochang within two years. They are stuck on the main road to the west, and I feel stuck in my throat."

"Yes!" Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Yi Yiyi. The fight will be two years later, so the battle to destroy Gaochang is the prelude to the battle to destroy Jieli. This matter really needs to be discussed carefully.

"Also, with regard to the military expenses for Gaochang, Shang Shusheng gave Liu Consort a number, and asked him to provide the army with armaments as much as possible within this amount. Money should be saved, even if it is a hundred small generals. It’s astonishing, calculate the military expenditure and put it in the file, the secret file.”

"Yes!" Xiao Yu and Liu Mu saluted at the same time.

Li Shimin stayed to attend a banquet, and that night Li Shimin and most of the nobles here went back to Chang'an.

There are only a few old foxes left. They are no longer officials, but they are extremely shrewd elders of the various clans who have a lot of power to speak.

Liu Mu didn't stay at Qin Qiong's Jingyang Zhuangzi, but took the old foxes to Taoyuan Xiaozhuang.

On the night of arriving at Taoyuan Xiaozhuang, Liu Mu invited these old foxes to a banquet and wine, during which the Japanese girl dancer sent by Su's family performed.

"Reward, this must be a heavy reward." Liu Mu held his wine glass high, with a bit of drunkenness.

According to Liu Mu, she should be a dancer, but immediately Liu Mu said: "Go, get my string of top-notch pearls."

At that moment, there was a reliable maid beside Liu Mu to fetch it.

It was a string of pearl necklaces with a diameter of about seven millimeters. Such a string is not considered a treasure in terms of size.But this string is very rare golden pearls, Su Woling didn't dare to touch them, she was afraid that the gold powder on the pearls would fade if she touched them.

Liu Mu laughed and threw the pearl into the wine.

"This is the golden pearl. The dancer you chose is very good, you have worked hard, go and rest."

After Liu Mu gave the order, Su Woling Shili left, but Liu Mu didn't care whether he would reward those dancing girls or not, and he didn't specifically order.

Wang Jun saw it in his eyes, but he was convinced in his heart.

There is only one word, ruthless!

I always thought that the wealthy family only regarded Liu Mu as a person who likes to eat, drink and have fun, but at this time, it seems that the family was wrong.

Liu Muneng coaxed Wajima with a smile on his face while planning Wajima's outrageous family plan. What kind of scheming and cruelty is this.

Wang Junzhen really wanted to ask Liu Mu, what kind of enmity does this Japanese have with you.

Speaking of the three conquests of Goguryeo in the former Sui Dynasty, there were indeed Japanese people who might have funded something behind it, but the amount of funding was quite limited. Liu Mu's father participated in the war to conquer Goryeo.

But this doesn't seem to be related to such a big hatred.

Is it really because the Japanese are ambitious, and Liu Mu wants to suppress this ambition of the Japanese?
Liu Mu will not explain, because there is no way to explain this matter at all. It cannot be said that the Tang Dynasty conquered Goguryeo in a few decades, and the Japanese sent more than 5 soldiers and horses and more than 1000 ships to support Goguryeo.

In real history, decades later, it was Liu Rengui who severely punished Goguryeo and Japanese reinforcements.

"Old Wang, Old Zheng, Old Lu..." Liu Mu's tone changed, and he no longer felt drunk, but said calmly: "Let's discuss the issue of the share distribution of Donggang Shipping Company."

"Okay!" Zheng Yuanxuan made a long voice, replied happily, and said, "I only have two requests. One, the water in the bowl is leveled, and two, the Donggang Shipbuilding Department was first built, and you, Prince-in-law Liu, have to do it yourself. Go, I have a few interesting things at home for your hard work, I should thank you."

"Okay, I'll go." Liu Mu could no longer refuse, and immediately agreed.

This share is not limited to those with five surnames and seven wangs. These people represent the top nobles of the Tang Dynasty to discuss the distribution plan, how much will be given to the emerging nobles, how much will be given to the old nobles, and then left to ordinary nobles and wealthy businessmen in the market How many are there, and so on.

Discussing these things is a long and complicated process.

During this period, a set of regulations needs to be formulated to clarify the responsibilities, rights and interests of the families who have invested huge sums of money and given Liumu a lot of manpower.

The internal meeting had only been held for three days, and Taoyuan Xiaozhuang had an accident.

The corners of the mouths of the two girls slapped with two slaps were bleeding. One of these two girls was a maidservant of Kinderman's side, and the other was a maidservant of Su Erling's side.The one who hit was the maid next to Baoqin, and she was already showing mercy.

When Kinderman and Su Erling arrived, Baoqin had already gone from the backyard to the middle courtyard, and only the back was seen for them.

In the garden pavilion of the middle courtyard, Zheng Yuanxuan only heard a mess of voices, and then heard a little wind from the concubine serving tea beside him. After all, it was something about the willow backyard, so he didn't want to ask more.

After Baoqin came over, he told Liumu about the matter in a few words.

It seems that because some new spices were delivered from Chang'an, Baoqin didn't even ask which one the two sides were fighting for. He only knew that there were only three boxes of a certain fragrance powder, and both sides wanted to get an extra box. The handmaid had a conflict.

"Hold the piano!" Liu Mu said in a sincere tone: "You should mediate, you should let them live in harmony, why bother beating people?"

"No, I didn't." After Baoqin replied with a straight face, he handed Liu Mu a letter: "The second son of the Duke of Yue has arrived in Chang'an, and he is waiting for a meeting with the Ministry of Rites. He has a letter." To you, sir, I just want to say that it is very important, and I urgently need your advice.
