Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 586 Li Shimin's White Hair
Looking at the burned handwriting, Xiao Linger looked regretful.

But Liu Mu said: "However, you can stick to the management rights that the Su family wants. This matter cannot be a matter between the Donggang Shipping Department and the Su family, because the Yamato royal family will be dissatisfied, and we will also It’s impossible to make it clear who you want to support, so this matter is between you and Su Woling.”

"Thank you husband." Xiao Ling'er instantly understood what Liu Mu meant.

"Su Wo Ezo's wisdom should understand the purpose of this, I believe. Also, you can arrange it. I am going to swim in the lake for three days. I think Su Wo Ezo must have something to say through Su Wo Ling Pass it to me, so talk to her alone to find a suitable lake."

"Don't worry, husband, as long as husband sets a time, I will arrange it."

As a local, Xiao Ling'er knew that there was a suitable place here, and there were hundreds of servants from her Xiao family who could be dispatched here, so they would definitely make good arrangements for Liumu.

"Well, you should also prepare. I will go back to Chang'an in one month at most. When I arrive in Chang'an, I will take you to the workshops of Sanyuan and Huayuan workshops. At that time, you have to be careful. What can you do?" If you trade with Su Woling, if there is anything you can’t do, you make a list and I’ll filter it.”

Xiao Linger nodded fiercely, she knew that this was a test.

The maid brought the tea set, Xiao Ling'er was sitting beside Liu Mu making tea and said: "At that time, the family was selecting a candidate, and I asked to choose me."

"Oh!" Liu Mu smiled: "I am worthy of selection?"

"My husband's reputation has already spread all over the country. I don't want to be raised as a canary in the backyard. I firmly believe that with my husband, I can spread my wings and fly high."

Liu Mu believed that what Xiao Linger said was the truth.

Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

In Hangzhou, Liumu and Dugu Lanruo moved into a garden provided by Li Shentong. This garden originally belonged to a county king in the former Sui Dynasty. After the fall of the former Sui Dynasty, many people wanted to occupy this garden, but Li Shentong finally got it.

Dugu Lanruo has been confirmed by several famous teachers, it is indeed Huamai.

And two famous doctors claimed that it must be a boy.

After the news spread, Jiangnan Yilian's orders for pine nuts from the Liaodong Transshipment Department and aloe vera from the Westport Shipping Department increased by nearly a hundred times, and the price of fresh fish on the seashore almost doubled. There are no goods in the market, and the price is three times higher than in the past. This is still rising even under the government's control.

Liu Mu accompanied Dugu Lanruo to enjoy the flowers in the garden.

Dugu Lanruo said to Liu Mu: "When will my husband return to Chang'an?"

"It's only been a few days. As soon as the grain transport ship from the West Harbor Ship Division arrives, I will go back to Chang'an with the ship. I am still hesitating whether to bring Su Woling back with me. I am afraid that he will annoy you when she is here."

"What can she do?" In Dugu Lanruo's eyes, Su Woling is just a lowly maidservant.

"She told me a few days ago that Suga Ezo actually wanted her to ask me, what would I do if Suga Ezo went against Queen Tuigu's succession letter and chose a new king of Yamato who they knew and cooperated with?" ?”

Hearing this, Dugu Lanruo said: "Such a big event, we can't take it lightly."

"I thought so too, so I didn't answer her right away. I just told her that this kind of thing is very complicated. I will go to Wajima again as soon as possible, and then I will talk about such things in person. This requires a complete and detailed plan, not A word." Liu Mu patted Dugu Lanruo's hand, signaling Dugu Lanruo to be at ease.

Finally, the grain transport ship from the West Port Shipping Division arrived.

This is not a new ship, but a remodeled old ship. This kind of ship is slow and cannot go to sea at all, and can only sail along the coastline.

But this ship has no benefit from having two new sea-going ships.

One, you can use a paddle.Second, the pot-bellied tank ships are loaded with more cargo.Third, you can directly enter the Grand Canal without changing boats.

On the pier, Li Shentong personally came to see him off.

"Mu, it's all your fault. The market in Jiangnan has become more chaotic, and the rest is easy to talk about, but the price of rice has also been affected."

"Is the emperor complaining?"

"It's a complaint. Rice from Jiangnan is [-]% more expensive than rice from Xigang Bosi, and rice from Liaodong is more than [-]% more expensive than rice from Jiangnan." Li Shentong explained the reason for his complaint.

Liu Mu smiled and asked: "Uncle Emperor, the rice that is cooked three times a year and once a year. You want to compare the price with the rice that is cooked three times a year. Are you bullying people? You keep making the farmers in Liaodong still alive. I think it’s quite appropriate, you get what you pay for.”

"Okay, I won't talk to you about this. I called several state capitals where Mishi is located to come over to discuss the matter, and I also asked Mishi to send representatives to come and talk about this matter."

"Then, uncle, I will return to Chang'an."

Li Shentong sent Liumu to the side of the boat, watched Liumu get on the boat, and Li Shentong did not leave until the boat moved.

Chang Shi came over to Li Shentong's side: "Chairman, why don't you talk about the price of rice with Prince Liu in detail."

"He has his reasons. It is true that the rice harvested once a year is more expensive than the rice harvested three times a year. But we have our reasons. If the price of rice is unstable, the price of food will be unstable, and the livelihood of the people in the state capitals will be affected. It will be unstable, and it’s useless to tell him about it. Before the representatives of the rice merchants come, an official document will be issued. Anyone who dares to pass off bad rice as good rice will be fined a hundred times, and the house will be ransacked.”

"Yes."

Liu Mu on the boat actually thought of what Li Shentong was going to say.

Rice, after being steamed and eaten by willow wood, may be able to tell whether it is good or bad. When it is still rice, willow wood can't tell whether it is good or bad. In the supermarkets of later generations, it all depends on the brand and the conscience of the merchant.

So Liu Mu didn't want to get involved in Li Shentong's matter of rice prices.

Markets are always going to be hit.

Half a month later, Chang'an.

The severe drought in Guanzhong is an indisputable fact. Li Shimin is only 28 years old, and there are already a few gray hairs on his temples.

This is more than a melancholy word can describe.

Guanzhong is also called Babaili Qinchuan.That is, within the four passes, there is Hangu Pass in the east, Dazhen Pass in the west, Lan Pass in the south, and Jinsuo Pass in the north.Within the four passes, the land in Guanzhong is fertile, the people are rich and rich, and there are thousands of chariots, fighting against hundreds of trades, thousands of miles of fertile fields, and abundant reserves. The Great Qin conquered the world with the land in Guanzhong.

The term Guanzhong was an explanation put forward by Xu Guang in the Eastern Jin Dynasty when he annotated Shiji, and it has the scope of Guanzhong.

Li Shimin was sitting in the study, with only a bowl of porridge and a small dish of pickled vegetables in front of him.

After a severe drought, there will be locust plagues, and emergency documents from all over the world will be issued every day.

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Xiao Yu, and Cui Junsu came to Li Shimin's study together.

"How serious is the situation?" Li Shimin didn't look up, but was still looking at the watch in his hand.
