Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 780 Dilemma
Zhang Gongjin needs to take long-term medication recently to stabilize his condition, so he rarely drinks alcohol.

However, Dugu Xiude and Dugu Xiuluo did not let Liu Mu drink less. In Liu Mu's words, these two drinkers are good, and the wine quality is not bad. After drinking themselves to [-]%, they let themselves go and the two went to fight liquor.

When Liu Mu went back, he still had a headache, Xiao Ling'er and Xie Xing'er were taking care of him, but Liu Mu was still awake.

After being helped to sit down, Liu Mu asked casually, "What's wrong with the pier?"

"Forget it, it has nothing to do with the family. The princess has already sent a number of medical officers to take care of it, and nothing will happen. I will send someone to watch it later. If the elders can persuade me, I have to leave early tomorrow morning , If you miss understanding, then it is not advisable to travel far for the next three days."

Xiao Ling'er helped Liu Mu change clothes while talking.

Xie Xing'er lowered her head without saying a word, but kept busy with her hands and feet.

Xiao Ling'er wanted to help Liu Mu to the bed, but Liu Mu said: "I don't want to sleep now, I guess half an hour will pass after the strength of the alcohol, I can't drink enough, and I will go quickly. Go and get Cixi a few Bring me a map of the plot, let me look at it again."

After Liu Mu finished speaking, Xiao Ling'er went in response.

Xiao Ling'er went out of the house, Xie Xing'er beside Liu Mu asked casually: "Is the yarn workshop in Cixi government-run or private?"

There was a chill in Liu Mu's head.

If Dugu Xiude hadn't told him a lot today, he wouldn't be able to react to this meeting.

When Xie Xing'er asked this sentence, Liu Mu had a feeling in his head.

This feeling is that both Xiao Ling'er and Xie Xing'er saw the truth of what happened on the pier today, Xiao Ling'er didn't want to tell it, but she didn't want to lie either, so she chose to leave Liu Mu alone.

But Xie Xing'er wanted to know the final arrangement of Cixi County, or in other words, wanted to know how the resources of the Thousand Islands Country would be allocated in the future.

Xie Xing'er was right, what's wrong with inquiring about some news for her natal family.

Liu Mu said: "This matter has not been settled yet. There will be a chief executive in the country of Thousand Islands. I don't want to intervene too much in some matters. I want to make this yarn workshop a family business, but it's easy. It makes people jealous, and our talents are not enough to build such a big spinning mill, let's discuss it."

"My husband is very thoughtful, if someone in the family asks me again, how should I answer?"

Xie Xing'er's question really stumped Liu Mu, and Liu Mu thought for a while but couldn't come up with a good answer.After Xiao Ling'er came in with the map, Liu Mu said to Xie Xing'er: "It's not urgent, let me think about it and talk about it tomorrow."

"Yes."

Xie Xing'er helped Xiao Ling'er open the map, and then held the lamp so that Liu Mu could see clearly.

Liu Mu stared at the map for a while and then said to Xiao Linger: "Linger, write a letter to Liu Shi for me, which means that the land for the next workshop should be differentiated, and the dyeing workshop should be placed in a place with convenient drainage. One more thing is that the land for the new workshop not only needs coins, but also repairs a certain section of the river where it is located.”

"Ling'er remembered."

"Statement, let Liu Shi list out a heavy punishment method for private construction workshops to destroy farmland, forests, vegetation, rivers, etc. at will, and ask him to discuss with Cui County Magistrate to establish a rule, and then send someone to Chang'an to send a copy .”

Speaking of this, Liu Mu stopped and thought for a quarter of an hour before speaking.

Liu Mu's hesitation was not because he couldn't confirm the data, but he was hesitating whether to let Xiao Ling'er and Xie Xing'er know the data.After much deliberation, Liu Mu still planned to speak out.

"Write another letter to my second sister for me, telling him that the country of Thousand Islands predicts that by the end of this year, all kinds of hemp will be shipped to the south of the Yangtze River to reach [-] shi, of which no less than [-]% can be used for weaving, and the rest will be used for weaving. Ropes, nets, and sacks account for [-]%, and the other [-]% is hemp pulp for papermaking. Ask the second sister to ask the Minister of Ministers to give necessary instructions. Add another word, double next year."

Xiao Ling'er was taken aback after hearing this data, and said quickly after recovering: "I'm afraid I can't write this letter well."

"If there is anything wrong with writing, just tell the second sister the data. I am sleepy and let me read the letter when I wake up tomorrow morning. If there is no problem, I will send someone to Chang'an to deliver it."

The data of Liumu is not nonsense, [-] shi is equivalent to [-] 砘.

There are millions of people working directly and indirectly with abaca in later generations of Luzon. The annual output of Manila hemp is as high as 40 tons, and the export of hemp raw materials is also tens of thousands of tons. The export of hemp products is Luzon Island. one of the main income.

The willow wood will only reach a production volume of less than [-]% of the later generations to be shipped back to Datang within the year, which is not a big goal.

After finishing speaking, Liu Mu fell asleep.

Xie Xing'er bit her lip, wanted to say something but didn't say anything, after helping Xiao Ling'er organize the map, the two left Liu Mu's study together.

Outside the study door, Xiao Ling'er said to Xie Xing'er: "I don't know what your Xie family is fighting for, and I don't care. But don't bring those things home. It's not a farce on the pier, it's the family's Fighting openly and secretly, I won't hide it from you, our Xiao family also participated, and someone from my family came to look for me."

"Family, don't you want to help?" Xie Xing'er didn't understand.

Xiao Ling'er looked up at the moonlight, and smiled bitterly: "I don't know, who would have imagined before you and me that a gold mine where you can pick up melon seed gold on a piece of land is not even as good as a chicken rib. When I saw many people When I wanted to sell the gold mine, I decided not to be a part of it."

"Family, can't we ignore it?" Xie Xing'er asked again.

"Who said to ignore it? Do you think that your husband holds great power by marrying His Royal Highness? Didn't your husband tell us that this year, the country of Thousand Islands only has [-] stones for hemp, and I don't know how many there are. And coconuts. How many boats are these?"

When Xiao Linger said this, Xie Xinger also reacted.

Xie Xing'er calculated: "A boat plus personnel, food and drink, simple ship repairing tools, etc. The cargo that can be loaded is not too much, it is about three hundred stone hemp, one hundred stone palms, and thousands of coconuts. "

"It can't hold that much, and the hemp will take up a lot of space after being bundled. At least fifty stones of gold ore should be pulled into the warehouse. Brown is more loose. Two hundred stones of hemp, eighty stones of brown, and thousands of coconuts. Almost. It may not be possible to run a round trip in 20 days, the sea is not so smooth, and the ship needs to be repaired when it arrives at the port."

While Xie Xing'er was still calculating, Xiao Ling'er was suddenly overjoyed: "I see, the fleet will expand. It is impossible for twelve ships to transport so much supplies, at least double, or even double."
