Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 620 Calculation
Li Shentong put forward another idea: "Then it's settled. This matter has to be discussed again by Changsun Wuji and Pei Shiqing, so Xiaogong was asked to go with him for this purpose. I was thinking, should we do it by the way?" What kind of queen did they die?"

Dugu Lanruo shook her head: "I don't know, and I don't know either. It's a bit sudden, so I don't have time to think about it. I'm going to ask Uncle Huang to help with the staff."

Li Shentong also couldn't make up his mind, but he had to leave Hangzhou for Wa Island in ten days at most, and he couldn't send a letter to Chang'an.

At this time, Baoqin took out a gold coin: "Heads live, tails die. What's the idea?"

Li Shentong laughed: "This girl is interesting, but her words are reasonable. There are benefits in death, and benefits in life. How about this, old man, I will go to Wa Island in person, but it has nothing to do with being able. Next It will be exactly six days after sending a batch of Sang Nong there, I will take a few profitable staff officers there to discuss it with Changsun Wuji."

"It seems that this is the best way at the moment."

Dugu Lanruo continued: "The second thing is that the south of Kumamoto is a barren land, and Hayato's side is overpopulated according to our big mulberry forest plan. How to arrange the surplus people. Then, north of Kumamoto, the originally occupied place has a small population. There are many, but if you add Fukuoka, there are many people.”

Baoqin sent a copy of Liumu's simple plan to Li Shentong, and gave Yidao to share with Muyun.

Mu Yun expressed his gratitude, but he didn't read it.

He is very clear about his identity, and he thinks highly of himself, but he doesn't necessarily understand this, and he can't help.

Li Shentong opened it and read it carefully.

"This Fukuoka accounted for more than [-]% of the population of Chikushi Island, and there are thousands of small businessmen. This matter, the old man thought that we should send the letter to Chang'an quickly. It's not that we can't think of the most suitable way, but this The matter is not urgent, and it is not too late to rectify the land once we have it in hand, not to mention the attitude of the palace, this matter cannot be done privately."

Li Shentong saw that Fukuoka alone had a population of nearly [-] households, and this figure shocked him.

And among them, there are thousands of merchants and more than 1 handicraftsmen.

"This small Fukuoka is probably not as big as Hangzhou, but it has more than half the population of Hangzhou and less than half the population of Yangzhou. I wonder how big this Fukuoka city is?" Li Shentong searched, but couldn't find the name of Fukuoka city. introduce.

Yidao said: "Someone under my command has visited it. It looks like Huating. Each household has a small wooden house the size of a palm, and several people live together. The wharf is well built, but we won't be able to use it anymore. Then Only small boats can be parked at the pier, and sea-going ships with [-] materials cannot dock at the port.”

"Slap big?"

"The largest wooden house is five steps square, and the market is only three steps wide. The most puzzling thing is that the water in the city seems to be the same canal."

No one would believe the words of a knife. The upper and lower waters are in the same canal. Doesn’t the sewage and drinking water flow in the same canal? Can it still be drunk?

Li Shentong frowned and said:

"I'm afraid it will really take some thinking. We don't need so many people on Chikushi Island. Small workshops can't keep up with the state of the world. Just like yarn, the yarn spun by a small workshop in a year may not be as good as the large ones." The quantity of the workshop in my niece's house for a few hours, counting the price, the price sold here on the market is lower than the cost of the workshop, and the small workshop has no way to survive."

The eldest niece of course refers to Dugu Lanruo, and Dugu Lanruo said: "What the emperor said is true. It's just that the water conservancy in Chang'an is far inferior to that in the south of the Yangtze River. The completion of the waterwheel yarn workshop in the south of the Yangtze River is probably ten times that of my yarn workshop in Jingyang, and the output is a hundred times greater. .The price of linen has been cut in half, which is the wealth of the people.”

At this time, Liu Mu had just completed a heavy physical exercise in Su Woling's room, and was chatting with Su Woling leaning against the bed.

Said it was a chat, but Liu Mu was making some hints.

"Queen Tuiko is a talented person. She asked Prince Shotoku to write books such as "Tianhuang Ji" and "Kuo Ji" in order to improve the dignity and status of the royal family, and even deify the royal family."

"In this lifetime, the queen pushed forward Buddhism, and used Buddhism's doctrines of equality of all beings, karma, reincarnation of life and death, and Nirvana to ask the people to be content with the status quo and pursue the afterlife. It has never weakened the influence and influence of great nobles like your Suga family. Power, to achieve the royal family's above all goals."

Su Woling immediately realized that these things would affect her future status.

Su Woling's status as the elder of my family has already made Su Woling yearn for a bottle of water in the desert. She has always been a low-level nobleman. She wants to climb up, she wants status, and she wants status.

Su Woling asked: "Husband, then what is the reason for the extermination of Buddha in the Tang Dynasty?"

"Let me ask you, I was just a commoner before, do you think I should be content with the status quo, and then wait for the next life to be reincarnated into a wealthy family, or in this life, I should make a fortune and become a master?"

Liu Mu's words brightened up Su Woling's heart.

That's right, my man is a great aristocrat who came up from the lower ranks, why wait for the next life, and be rich in this life.

"The bald donkeys must be obedient, just fool the ignorant tenants, servants, maidservants, and slaves. Their hands are too long, and the court is not a place they are qualified to touch. It is kindness not to kill all the bald donkeys. Obedient Yes, but being promoted as an eminent monk, master. If you are disobedient, what do you think you should do?"

Liu Mu looked at Su Woling with a smile.

Su Woling was also laughing: "Then shave them one by one."

Liu Mu smiled and shook his head: "As a nobleman, don't get blood on your hands."

"Then arrange for people to slash them." After Su Woling immediately added, Liu Mu nodded with a smile.

Liu Mu said again: "The books written by Prince Shotoku are not good for you, so destroy them if you have the opportunity."

Su Woling nodded heavily, but it's a pity that she doesn't know many words, even if the book is placed in front of her, she may not be able to tell which one should be destroyed.

But Su Woling remembered Liu Mu's reminder.

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Mu came to Dugu Lanruo's room before dawn. Dugu Lanruo was still sleeping, and Liu Mu sat outside and read a book of rites.

After a while, Baoqin, who knew Liumu was coming, came here fully dressed.

"Lang Jun, didn't you rest well last night?"

Liu Mu nodded: "I have a feeling that Su Woling might want to kill Queen Tuigu, I don't know if I should stop her, this woman...is crazy."

"She is an obedient mad dog. Without a husband, she is a wild dog. No matter how crazy she is, she will be very obedient."

Baoqin knows Su Woling quite well.

Liu Mu also agreed with this, but still reminded: "You must never relax your surveillance on her."
