Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 821 Preliminary Discussion
Yuan Taizuo, as the first high-ranking official of Zeng Goguryeo, opposed Lu, and even named himself Mo Lizhi.

After his death, the official position and title should be inherited by Yuan Gai Suwen, but Yuan Gai Suwen is still young at this time, relying on the strength of his family to help him support the control of Goguryeo, Mo Lizhi Yuan Gai Suwen is not yet qualified take over.

Right now, the title of Mo Lizhi is owned by Ulchi Wende.

Mo Lizhi belongs to a self-created position that can be called an official position, or a title. It is above all official positions. Its functions are actually beyond the nature of a prime minister, and it has a temporary position set up by autocratic officials to usurp the throne. The characteristics of special official positions.

Ulji Wendeok's life has entered the countdown.

This famous general once made countless miraculous achievements in the war against the former Sui Dynasty, but no one can defeat the countless times.

He was about to die, and after his death, Mo Lizhi's position would belong to Yuan Gai Suwen.

Yuan Pure Land is Yuan Gai Suwen's younger brother, currently leading the royal palace guards, and is one of the most important figures controlling the Yuan family.

These three people came to see Liu Mu, and Liu Mu hosted a banquet.

There were only four people attending the banquet, and there was no priority, but four short mats, Liu Mu and Yuan Taiyu sat in the inner seats, and the Yuan brothers sat outside.

The four of them had a large table with a height of only half a foot, and a silk tablecloth was spread on the table.

First, there are eight cold dishes, which are divided into four meat and four vegetarian dishes, three sweet and five salty dishes.

Among them, glutinous rice and lotus root slices, golden shredded dates, sesame oil ear shreds, deep-fried octopus, anchovy mushroom shreds, sauced beef, crystal meat, as well as gourmet wine, three shreds of wasabi.

Just the presentation, appearance, and color.Although Yuan Gai Su Wen was not reconciled, he had to say something convinced.

Not to mention the feeling of this entrance is far from what he can compare with Goguryeo.

Hot dishes, main course roast duck, steamed fish...

What Liu Mu showed was a world of foodies that Gao Juren could never have imagined. Just looking at it made Yuan's three stunned.

Seeing the maid's dazzling knife skills sliced ​​the roast duck up and wrapped it in pancakes, Yuan Gai Suwen couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva, feeling extremely embarrassed.

At this moment, Liu Mu suddenly said: "I have already prepared the materials I want to purchase. The price and quantity of countless are amazing."

Yuangai Suwen looked sideways at Liu Mu, and Liu Mu also turned around: "In the north of Goguryeo, there is a mountain beside the Tumen River. My people found an iron mine. This iron mine is an open-pit mine, and it is very easy to mine. , it’s not too far from the riverside, just need to build a few piers, and then go down the river.”

"iron ore?"

"Yes, iron ore, and of course carbonite." Willow added.

A smile appeared on the corner of Yuan Gai Suwen's mouth: "So, how much do you plan to purchase every year?"

"How much do you have, how much do I buy."

The domineering words of Liu Mu made Yuan Gai Suwen feel very uncomfortable, and said immediately: "Do you know that my Yuan family can mobilize the strength of tens of thousands of people."

"I have money, and I have enough coins. If there are not enough coins, cloth, silk, porcelain, even gold mines, jewelry..." Liu Mu's words sounded like a show to Yuan Gai Suwen,

So Yuan Gai Su Wen decided to join Liu Mu's army.Yuan Gai Suwen said: "At the beginning we had an agreement that I could purchase all the items that can be bought in the Chang'an market."

"Correct."

"A high-quality fine steel knife in the Chang'an market, a high-quality fine steel knife that is better than an iron knife costs 850 Wen, and I will pay [-] Wen to receive the goods in Pingcheng. How much will I receive? "

Liu Mu said that he collects as much iron ore as he has.After a few words, Yuan Gai Suwen threw back the same words again, what he wanted to buy was a fine steel knife.

Liu Mu smiled, and said with a smile: "Okay, then I can still decide in private and sell some armors to you."

"How much do I have, how much do I want?" Yuan Gai Suwen believed that Liu Mu was trying to support himself, and that weapons could not be sold to enemy countries. Great Goguryeo would never be an ally of Datang. Tai Chi Hall, the high and mighty Tang Emperor must also know it well.

Yuan Gai Su Wen wanted to see if Liu Mu really dared to sell the weapon to him, and also had armor.

According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, half a pair of privately made armor was exiled for three thousand miles.

"I don't know how much iron ore the prince can provide me, but I hope it's not too little." Liu Mu also handed over a scroll while Yuan Gai Su Wen was in the army.

Inside the scroll is a simple map, marking the location of the iron mines and the locations of several selected docks.

"One month, within one month, I, Yuan Shi, guarantee that the first batch of ore can be loaded onto the ship."

"Okay, I'll arrange fifty boats to go upstream along the river."

Yuan Gai Su Wen stared at Liu Mu: "A contract tomorrow?"

"You can send people to go north today first, and I will let it go."

"Okay!" Yuan Gai Suwen nodded heavily.

A spark was already flickering between the two, Yuan Gai Suwen was showing his pride, but Liu Mu was even more domineering.

A luncheon full of fire.

Returning to his home from Liumu's temporary residence, Yuan Gai Suwen held up a teacup high in his hand, and when he was about to hit the ground, he stopped and suddenly burst out laughing.

"There is a conspiracy, but no matter what kind of conspiracy it is, with armor in hand and enough food stored, I have no fear in Goguryeo."

Yuan Taiyu also agrees.

There are soldiers, knives, armor, food, what else is there to be afraid of.

In the early morning of the next day, Yuan Gai Suwen took his younger brother Yuan Pure Land to look for Liu Mu. Liu Mu was sleeping late, and the two of them waited for half an hour before Liu Mu appeared in the living room.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Liu Mu repeatedly apologized, after all, he was late.

Yuan Gai Su Wen went straight to the topic after a few polite sentences.

"Liu Concubine, what is the method of mining?"

"There are a lot of them. It's relatively simple. You give me the ore and I give you the coins." Liu Mu told Yuan Gai Suwen while motioning for someone to prepare tea.

Although Yuangai Suwen was arrogant, he also knew the current situation of Goguryeo. They didn't have the talents to mine at all, and they couldn't dig much if they used the soil method.

So Yuan Gai Su Wen didn't evade it, and said directly: "We don't have talents who understand large-scale mining areas."

"I have."

Yuan Gai Suwen asked again: "The road from the mining area to the wharf must be built. We don't have a carriage that can pull heavy cargo, nor do we have a suitable road."

"I have."

Yuan Gai Suwen asked for the third time: "We can't build a wharf that can hold big ships."

"I have."

"Mobilizing a large number of coolies requires countless grains."

"I have."

Liu Mu replied calmly, took a sip of tea slowly and said, "Since my Emperor Tang is willing to form an alliance with your country and make good friends, then you Goguryeo seem to be a little bit less sincere."
