Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 815 Procurement Authority

Willow took a step back.

"In Lelangping City, I want a piece of land and build a shop area there. I will implement the laws of the Tang Dynasty in the area, and everything will be done according to the customs and etiquette of the Tang Dynasty. The Kingdom of Goguryeo must respect this agreement. Anyone who is not here There are behaviors that disrespect my Datang in the region."

Willow's request was unexpected, but not shocking.

Because in Chang'an City, there are also many small areas prepared for foreigners, Datang respects its ethnic customs.

Yeon Tae-yu agreed to this condition, but still demanded unified purchasing power, that is, to control the goods of Liumu, so as to earn another fortune, and also control other Goguryeo nobles at the same time.

Willow sat there without saying a word for a long time.

Yuanshi's uncle and nephew could see that Liumu did not want to give Yuanshi the exclusive purchase right.

"Our Yuan family is willing to show it again..." After Yuan Gai Suwen interrupted suddenly, Yuan Taiyu gave him a stare, which made Yuan Gai Suwen immediately take back what he was going to say.

Liu Mu's eyes narrowed, obviously the uncle and nephew still had some big cards to play.

Yuan Taiyu sighed slightly and then nodded to Yuan Gai Su Wen, Yuan Gai Su Wen then said: "Jindo, let's send another Jindo."

Jindo belongs to Baekje.

What Liu Mu heard was not an island, but a strategy. Obviously Goguryeo planned to annex the entire peninsula.

"I'll take a step back, too." Liu Mu still wasn't ready to agree to the exclusivity.

This exclusivity will make Yuanshi the enemy of all other nobles, which is the only benefit, but this benefit will be left behind, and there is another trick that can be used.

"I purchase 200 million guan from Yuanshi every year, at least 200 million guan."

"What to buy?" Yuan Taiyu didn't know how many things in Goguryeo were worthy of Liu Mu's purchase. It must be more than medicinal materials, because medicinal materials are worth millions of guan only after adding a lot of profits to Chang'an.

Liu Mu shook his head: "I don't know yet, it's just a number."

"300 million guan, we don't want the exclusive right to purchase. If Datang purchases more from Goguryeo, it will take more than 500 million guan to purchase from other nobles. This contract is valid for five years, and we have to adjust the amount after five years."

"Okay." Liu Mu agreed.

Once the two sides clap their hands, the matter is considered settled.

A contract is just a piece of paper, approval is a contract, and non-approval is worse than a scrap of paper.

Uncle Yuan's nephew left.

Liu Mu called Baoqin and said: "Baoqin, inform me that all the original plans will be cancelled, all additional shares will be suspended, and I will go to Huayuan in person, no matter what the original plan of Huayuan Iron Donkey Production is, give me three Pull at least six iron donkeys to Wa Island within a month."

"Lang Jun, the six iron donkeys are estimated to be the highest output in Huayuan. There will definitely be opinions on the rest."

"It doesn't matter, I will let the saint make a special order when necessary."

That night, a large number of Chang’an newspapers that were being printed were all canceled, and the news about the stocks in several major mining areas that Liumu had planned to produce was withdrawn, and replaced by the news that the performance of Shangxi Port Shipping Company was booming, and the value of each stock increased by more than 200%.

Then the General Shipping Department is about to release stock trading, and is waiting for the Ministry of Accounts and the Ministry of Punishment to review the rules on stock trading and so on.

When Liu Mu returned to Chang'an, he didn't visit relatives or friends, and only had lunch at the elder sister's once.

For the rest of the time, Liu Mu had secret talks with Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty for several days, and then had two secret talks with the elders of the nine cabinets.After the three iron donkeys that were supposed to be delivered to Zhifang were loaded on board, Liu Mu only stayed in Chang'an for seven days before returning to Jiangnan again.

Zhifang has opinions, and they have to swallow the opinions in the official documents of the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry.

The Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry actually have opinions, but they are also accepting the imperial decree of the Tang Emperor. It is a confidential matter, and no one dares to delay the business.

Liu Mu left Chang'an, brought with him thousands of top and outstanding ironworkers, and began to go south in batches.

There is a message in the market.

A super steel workshop is about to start construction, and the stocks of this super steel workshop will be released at the end of the year at the earliest, and at the beginning of next year at the latest. All the cattle are transported to Qizhou.

Qizhou has a large number of coal mines, iron mines, and feldspar mining areas.

In addition, Qin Qiong will go to Qizhou to worship his ancestors for three years, all these are connected, and everyone is targeting Qizhou.

On the day Liu Mu left Chang'an, the Emperor Datang went to Huayuan in person.

Huayuan restricted area.

A primitive planer driven by an iron donkey belt, which is making slide rails for steam cars.

As an emperor, Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was wearing overalls made of linen, with his hair tightly wrapped in a hat, tight cuffs, thick linen gloves, and glass goggles.

"Holy man, Prince Liu, besides the iron donkey, designed four kinds of machines and suggested seventeen kinds of machines. The first work of this machine was a carpenter in the former armory workshop. He used the principle of craftsman's plane and added the infinite power of the iron donkey. We call this one the planer. There is a small team working on it and trying to make it even better."

"En." Li Shimin nodded slightly, he was very satisfied.

Next is a lathe.

Li Bi stepped forward: "Sage, this is an improvement based on the original carpentry style machine, all of which are made of fine steel, and are specially used to make fine steel shafts. This machine is newly improved on the basis of the original one, with many small parts added. unknown."

Li Shimin looked at the lathe being assembled and nodded again.

After the lathe was assembled, a craftsman stepped forward to salute Li Shimin, then skillfully hung up the power belt, stuck a log on the lathe, and the log began to rotate.

The craftsman held a small knife in his hand, and saw that the log quickly appeared in the shape of a bowl. It can be said that a wooden bowl appeared in the craftsman's hand in less than ten seconds.

"Wonderful." Li Shimin lightly clapped his hands in praise.

The craftsman saluted again, took down the log, and then added a thick steel rod. Then, he officially started adding knives. A small worker beside him began to add oil to the oil pots, as well as the oil-water mixture for cooling.

Li Shimin watched intently. In just a quarter of an hour, the thick steel bar turned into a round pillar.The craftsman stopped to measure, and then started again. The pillar turned into a one-foot-long steel shaft in about half an hour.

At this time Li Shimin pointed to the craftsman: "Where is the tool you used?"

What Li Shimin asked was not the axis, but the ruler.

The craftsman came over with a caliper in his hand again: "This object is called a caliper, and it first appeared in the Han Dynasty. Liu Concubine improved it, and this object is called a vernier caliper."

"Continue." Li Shimin took the caliper and made a few gestures. He doesn't know how to use this, after all, he is not a craftsman.
