Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 647

Li Yuan said that he didn't need to care about those concubines, but Liu Mu didn't dare to think so, Liu Mu said: "This is what I want to be a junior."

Li Yuan waved his hand: "Just don't fool me, an old man. Kagoshima is really interesting? Also, can you afford the expenses of this trip?"

Liu Mu replied: "Father, I have already sent people to write official documents to all the state capitals along the way, and I also asked Xiao Gong and Fang Gong to also write private letters. I request that all state capitals not spend public money to receive them. If you want to donate, the total amount shall not exceed Local products worth a hundred pennies. Only those of us can travel all over the world without spending a few pennies."

"En." Li Yuan nodded: "Very good, it is correct to let the state government not spend money randomly."

"My father's cousin is visiting Jiangdu. There are at least 10 people on board. I heard that the length of the ship is more than 200 miles. The last boat sailed out 8 days after the first one. The shore called the boat man 20 10 people, more than [-] soldiers, [-] people transport food every day, and the food that is thrown out every day makes the fish in the water fatten twice."

Hahaha.Li Yuan laughed, this is not a rumor, but a fact.

Liu Muyi pointed to the six auxiliary ships: "On this ship, the main ship carries two small general cannons, each auxiliary ship carries four small general cannons, ten wolf squatting cannons, four tiger squatting cannons, and sixty thunderbolts each. There are 120 elite soldiers, 240 strong steel crossbows, and [-] arrows."

"How much is the enemy?" Li Yuan asked.

"On the water, these boats can destroy all the boats outside Datang's line of sight, whether it's a thousand or ten thousand. If we really want to fight, there will be no boards on the peninsula and Wa Island to go into the water. The second brother issued an order to clean up the bandits, and later my eldest brother-in-law also relayed this order to Lulin."

Li Yuan knew about this.

As a result, the armed forces that are not under the control of the imperial court in the Great Tang Dynasty are at least on the front side, both land and waterways have been swept away, and some bandits hiding in the deep mountains and old forests are no longer to be feared.

A ranger with high martial arts skills is more willing to exchange for a meritorious service, a title.

Even if he is not an official, he will not refuse Datang's canonization, and is willing to fight for Datang when necessary.

Mu Yun, Zhao Wu, etc. are such people.They don't want officials, they only need honors and corresponding tax-free acres.

There is another type of people, such as Yan Qi, etc., they just want to be successful, there are still many official positions under the seat of Shence Hermit Guard Qin Qiong, these people will exchange their merits, they are willing to lead people deep into the desert, lurking Goguryeo, Wajima.

The picture is that one day, he will be in the imperial court and honor his ancestors.

Liu Mu said again: "When we arrive in the south of the Yangtze River, there is an elite navy there. Apart from fearing the world and the sea, no one can beat it. Right now they are poor. When they have money, prepare them with 64 general cannons. Where there is sea There is their pier, and where the sun shines, there is our flag of Datang."

Li Yuan couldn't figure it out: "How to use these 64 general cannons?"

Liu Mu smirked twice: "One of us, one ship of the enemy, and then we settled down. Three miles away, I fired a volley with the general's cannons, and there were 32 cannons on one side. When these cannons hit the enemy ship, we then Get closer, and consider whether to fight in melee again."

Li Yuan took a few steps back, walked to the side of the ship and looked out, then looked at the surrounding escort ships, gestured with his hand to the cast iron-clad copper shells fired by a big general, and then looked at the nearby escort ships.

"This, it's not worth it."

"Father, why is one not valid?" Liu Mu asked.

Li Yuan said: "Remember, the cost of firing a cannon for this general is extremely huge. It is estimated that firing 32 shells in one breath is much more expensive than one ship over there. It is not cost-effective. This is equivalent to exchanging two ships for one ship." .”

"We are rich and self-willed." Liu Mu said suddenly.Li Yuan was about to ask questions, but saw Concubine Wan Gui come out from the boat cabin, and was about to ask Liu Mu and Li Yuan to have dinner.

Li Yuan smiled and said nothing, but he didn't believe what Liu Mu said just now was the truth.

In the main hall of the big ship, there can only be seven seats here, all of which are long and short. Liu Mu originally planned to sit in the next seat, but Li Yuan asked Liu Mu to sit with him in the main seat.

The position of the seat is that Li Yuan sits in the middle, Concubine Wan Gui sits on the left side, and Liu Mu sits on the right side.

Of the other six seats, four are for two people, and two are for three people.

"Today's banquet is to taste the big carp of the Yellow River. When discussing delicious food, the Tang Dynasty will be the leader of the world. I know that my son pities the world. Many delicacies from dangerous places will never be provided to the palace, but that's it. Ordinary food, my son is still number one in the world."

My son Li Yuan refers to Liu Mu.

Son-in-law can also be called son.

This kind of big carp from the Yellow River is not even thought about in the modern Liumu of later generations. Here, only a letter is needed, and even the governor of Hedong County does not need to be alarmed. Merchants and workshops who are willing to send fresh carp to Liumu are lined up. long queue.

This section of Hedong is where Fengling crossed to Sanmenxia in later generations. It belongs to one of the three most delicious producing areas of the Yellow River carp. The other two are the Luoyang section and the Zhengzhou section.

After the food is served, the plates and bowls on the head are different from those on other tables.

Among them are six very delicate small bowls with lids.

The chef is from Liumu, and although the maid who delivers the dishes is a palace maid, what is sent to each table is naturally in accordance with Liumu's rules.

Li Yuan reached out to grab the small bowl, but Liu Mu blocked it.

Liu Mu actually blocked Li Yuan. This small operation seemed ordinary, but it made Li Yuan's concubines sitting in the first six seats dare not even show their anger. Even if Li Yuan is now the Supreme Emperor, who dares to block the Supreme Emperor, Liu Mu probably is No. 1.

But Li Yuan didn't seem to mind at all: "Isn't the one in this small bowl for my father?"

From Li Yuan's point of view, there were exactly six small bowls on the main table, and the small bowls were of two colors, obviously one bowl for each person.

Liu Mu said: "Father, this is for women to eat. I have already discussed with Suzhou, Yangzhou, and 61 counties in seven prefectures including Lingnan, and set up a guild to determine the contents in the blue bowl. level and quality assurance.”

"Oh?" Li Yuan opened the small blue bowl and took a look, but he didn't know what it was.

Li Yuan asked, "What is this?"

"Father, there is a record in the "Southern History" that there was a kind of tribute in the Northern Qi Dynasty, called Yabao. This thing has five purposes."

Li Yuan didn't remember seeing it in the Southern History, but it was Concubine Wan Gui who reminded that there was indeed such a record.

Li Yuan asked: "What are the four uses?"

Liu Mu replied: "First use for pregnant women, taking it before labor can increase the rate of natural delivery and increase the rate of children's health. Second use for women, the skin becomes smooth, plump, soft and elastic. Third use for the elderly, delay dementia. Fourth use for the weak, really Yin loss, housing overwork."
