Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 554 Complicated Things
Liu Mu said again: "Also, this thing is basically inaccurate, and you don't have to think about the inaccuracy. Like Gaohu and Gaobao, they were the ones who tried to make the wolf squatting cannon, and they shot it countless times. Ordinary soldiers also There is no way to practice like this, so rely on quantity, hit the sky and cover the sky, and there will always be one shot that hits the key person."

Cheng Yaojin asked curiously: "What if there is only one fruit cannon?"

"Let's say it's just one shot, but the ten shots want to hit Zhongjieli at a distance of more than 100 steps. Basically, after shooting, we have to pray to correct the shooting route."

Old Cheng listened very attentively, and asked seriously, "What kind of weapon is this prayer?"

Liu Mu stretched out one hand: "Infinite Heavenly Venerable, God bless you."

Cheng Yaojin almost choked to death on his own saliva, and stared at Liumu with rounded eyes.

"Drink!" Liu Mu didn't say any more, some words were too late.

Cheng Yaojin didn't ask again, Liu Mu's words had already hinted at him, there will definitely be a foreign war in the next year or two, and Cheng Yaojin will definitely not let Cheng Yaojin miss it this time.

In the evening, Feng Zhidai also came to Wenyue Pavilion.

In front of Liu Mu, Feng Zhidai was older than Liu Mu but still held the etiquette of the younger generation. After all, Liu Mu and his father were of the same generation, and that kind of brotherhood was not a joke, so Zhi Dai paid great attention to the etiquette of this generation.

"Sit down, this is your own territory, ask your guards to have a drink and rest."

Wenyue Pavilion is the secret base of Yinwei's predecessor. Whether it is a secret to the nobles of the Tang Dynasty or not, everyone who should know knows it, and no one who is inconvenient to know it.

Feng Zhidai delivered a gift list to Liu Mu, who opened it and looked at it and asked, "Are there any gifts for the nobles in Chang'an?"

"I have prepared a lot, but who to give it to and how to return it, please advise Uncle Liu Mu."

"Give it to the sage, and let the sage arrange the ritual department to distribute it in the form of annual rewards. This is the New Year's gift from the Westport Shipping Department to Chang'an, and then all these things will be converted into the operating costs of the Westport Shipping Department. Then next year... ..., no! Starting this year, all the goods from Xigang Shipping Division will be given to the people of Chang'an at a par price at the end of the year."

After listening to Liu Mu's speech, Feng Zhidai was puzzled: "These gifts are a drop in the bucket for the boss's big account. Will it make people think that people in Lingnan are stingy when they are recorded in this way."

"No, even if it is a penny, as long as it is in accordance with the rules, it can be included in the cost of the big account. In a few days, there will be a good show in Chang'an. I just received the news." The information was handed to Feng Zhidai.

Feng Zhidai took it with both hands. The content of the news was that several officials were accepting the banquet in Chang'an to participate in the banquet of the various state capitals. Among them, one or two of them received some precious gifts in order to allocate and purchase goods. .

"This, my nephew doesn't understand."

After taking back the information, Liu Mu said, "Then have you heard of Ling Chi?"

"no!"

Feng Zhidai had never heard of it before, and Liu Mu realized that this kind of torture was only recorded in the Five Dynasties after Tang Dynasty.Not at the moment.

Liu Mu explained: "This is a kind of punishment, which is more terrifying than cutting the city in half. The prisoner is tied to a pillar, and then he is cut one by one. It takes three days to cut a total of [-] knives, and the prisoner dies." "

After hearing this, Feng Zhidai, who had been fighting for many years, shuddered, this was completely terrifying.

"If someone takes bribes, it will inevitably increase the procurement costs of the shipping companies. Whoever dares to take the money must be prepared to be robbed by thousands of knives. They secretly add [-]%, so how much will the West Port Shipping Department lose?"

Feng Zhidai understood, and immediately replied: "I'm afraid it's just a boatload of money that just disappeared."

"That's it."

"My nephew understands, we have the courage to put everything on the table in the Westport Shipping Department. At the end of every year, we can't give gifts, but if we give the Chang'an officials some benefits according to the saint's annual reward, then this matter is on the table. If it is a private gift, it will inevitably cause people to discuss it."

"Yes, that's it." Liu Mu nodded seriously.

Feng Zhidai said again: "My father and uncle are sworn brothers, so my Feng family and my great-grandmother's family sent some special products over. This is a private matter of the two families."

"Yes, that's the reason. Some of them are very precious. You should send them to the palace instead. If you really need them, I'll spend money to buy them from the Westport Shipping Department. Our family is not short of money."

Feng Zhidai responded several times in a row, he understood Liu Mu's style of work.

Then, Feng Zhidai handed Liu Mu a private letter: "This is my father's pen, and I don't even know the content. I just asked Uncle Liu Mu to come up with an idea and make preparations."

Liu Mu opened the letter and read it quickly, the content of the letter was about the prince who escaped from Funan back then.

Liu Mu rang the bell, and one of them came in and took the letter from Liu Mu's hand. Liu Mu said, "Send it to my elder brother-in-law quickly, and ask him to ask for a room and Du Er to help make an idea. Whether this matter should be reported to the sage, let us My eldest brother-in-law is in charge."

"Yes!"

There are some things Willow is not going to decide.

For example, this kind of excuse to attack small neighboring countries, especially countries like Funan and Chenla.

In principle, yes, a little scary.

The tropical forests, climate, etc. there are all the help of the enemy, so people with truly high intelligence are needed to think.

For example: Fang, Du!

As for Liu Mu, at this time, he needs to enjoy the last time of his leisurely life.

Two days later, the Great Tang Changan Taiji Palace Taiji Hall.

As the envoy of China and Hong Kong, Liu Mu officially accepted the appointment. There was no official official document from the Ministry of Officials, and there was no scroll from the Minister of Finance.

But the stamp on it is no small matter.

Li Shimin has a special seal for handling official documents, and that treasure-level jade seal will never be used lightly.In Li Shimin's eyes, that thing is an artifact, the most precious artifact in Tang Dynasty.

The first emperor's jade seal, the imperial jade seal.

then……

The most troublesome thing for Liumu happened, Li Shimin gave Liumu two choices.

"Liu Concubine, first, my Prince Qin's Mansion is idle right now. You always advocate saving, and even set up a CD-ROM operation in your own home. Very good, this is a virtue. Of course, you still have a second choice." , although there are not many idle places in Datang, you can still choose another place."

The corner of Willow's mouth twitched, and the other was idle...

That's right, exactly as Liu Mu thought, Li Shimin said: "The original Prince's Mansion is completely idle, but most of the places belonging to officials in the Prince's Mansion have been occupied by the Sixth Ministry, and only a dozen people can be left to work."

"Saint, I still have options to choose from."
