Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 824

The tank boats arrived in Pingcheng one after another, and the Goguryeo nobles in Pingcheng no longer ate corn.

The staple food of Goguryeo nobles is rice cooked with corn, brown rice, and beans. There are few dishes, mostly seaweed soup or shrimp paste.

After a large amount of rice was transported here, Yuanshi did not dare to store all of it in his own warehouse.

It will also be allocated to nobles at all levels in proportion.

The high-level nobles exchanged their servants for work, while the low-level nobles had to work in person.At present, Liumu needs countless workers, and the mining area alone needs more than a thousand people who can write.

The literacy rate among the minor nobles in Goguryeo did not exceed 30.00%.

The status of the bastards of the big noble families has improved a lot in the past half a month because they can write.

Seeing that the land I encircled has been formed bit by bit, the surrounding trees and shrubs have been planted, and the low walls have all been completed. I also dug a circle similar to a moat, but it is only less than one foot wide, only two feet wide. The deep canals will be dug to let water in after the completion of the construction.

Two small bridges are also under construction.

When Gao Xing came, he saw Liu Mu observing the people working here. He approached and said, "Mr. About 60 people. Goguryeo's fruit dismounted, not small in strength and suitable for running in the mountains."

Liu Mu didn't look back, and said in a low voice: "From my observation, there are only 5 real standing soldiers in Goguryeo, and almost 8 are guards of noble families, and the rest are half-slaves and half-soldiers. The army is implemented throughout Goguryeo." The entire Goguryeo is like a large military camp, not to mention 60, and it is not false to claim a standing army of one million."

Gao Xing was stunned for a moment, then nodded after thinking about it.

"Goodbye, Mr. Lang."

Only then did Liu Mu turn back: "What I care about is whether the Goguryeo people can fill my first batch of fifty tank ships with refined iron ore."

"I don't know, but Beisha City has stopped trading right now, and the Gao family has a lot of opinions."

"Persist for another two months, and wait for Yuan's to get enough benefits."

Gao Xing asked in a low voice: "What will change in two months?"

"If the calculation is correct, Yuanshi will sell at least a thousand shipments of ore in two months. No matter how worthless these ores are, the actual cost we pay will reach millions of coins. Among them, coins should account for at least [-]%, or even Taller. So many coins are fun."

Liu Mu commented in three words: very interesting.

High performance means understanding.

Liu Mu turned around and handed a pamphlet to Gao Xing. After Gao Xing took it and read it quickly, he stuffed it into his arms.

Only then did Liu Mu say: "You stay here for me. Duke Xiao is a good man, and you are an evil man. I'm going back to the south of the Yangtze River for a month. One is to organize a batch of linen and low-grade silk. The other is that General Guo is probably coming back soon. I can't help but care about the trip to East Rome."

Gao Xing immediately asked: "The banknote, do you use it?"

"En!" Liu Mu bowed his head and thought for a while, then shook his head lightly: "Make full preparations first, and wait for me to come back. It's just this time for the mining area to experience how hard it is to have too much money."

Gao Xingxing laughed, one hundred thousand coins is 640 million catties.

There is nothing wrong with paying for ore, and paying for the amount of cargo on the ship when it is full.

"I'll make arrangements to ensure that the Goguryeo people will see a mountain of coins."

"Pain and happiness." After Liu Mu finished speaking, he laughed with Gao Xing.

After Liu Mu explained some details to Gao Xingxing, he boarded a boat and headed to Jiangnan.

A few days later, Jiangnan Hangzhou Mansion.

When Liumu arrived in Hangzhou, Guo Xiaoke had been back for three days. According to the rules set by Liumu, everyone lived in a special courtyard after entering Hong Kong. After a detailed examination by a medical officer, they had to observe for another three days before going ashore.

Liu Mu originally thought that he might be overly cautious, but Hangzhou Port's implementation was stronger than Liu Mu's request.

The crew members were also willing to be closed for inspection for five days.

When Liu Mu saw Guo Xiaoke, Guo Xiaoke hadn’t come out of the enclosed courtyard. There was a glass wall made of 16-yuan glass in the middle of a room blocking both sides. Li Xiaogong and Guo Xiaoke were chatting through the glass.

When Liu Mu entered the room, Guo Xiaoke was telling a story to Li Xiaogong dancing.

"Let me tell you, that is also the emperor. There is only one way to cook all the food on the table. They don't have many spices and the taste is bad. You can't figure it out. That big bowl of round and big mung beans, you I reached out and grabbed it, I reached out and grabbed it, and just grabbed it and put it on the plate in front of me."

"Stretch out your hand and grab it?" Li Xiaogong shook his head: "I don't believe it, that is the emperor of a big country with tens of millions of people, it's ridiculous to grab it like this."

Guo Xiaoke patted his chest proudly: "Old Guo, I am also a person who will last forever. Mr. Pei taught the Japanese how to use chopsticks, and I also taught the Romans how to use spoons."

Liu Mu laughed loudly, as far as historical records are concerned, this is indeed the case.

Liu Mu didn't enter the room, and after whispering a few words to Baoqin, he came in and sat beside Li Xiaogong.

Guo Xiaoke is very proud: "These people are as stupid as chicken feet. They can't learn chopsticks. But I have learned how to distinguish who is a big shot and who is an ordinary person when eating."

"How to divide?" Li Xiaogong was very curious, but he still didn't quite believe that he could eat with his hands.

Guo Xiaoke is gesticulating with his hands: "They eat with three fingers, while ordinary people grab it with one. This is the difference. I have observed it for half a month, and I can't be wrong."

"Excellent, indeed." Liu Mu supported Guo Xiaoke.

Li Xiaogong still didn't believe it: "That Oscar Buddy didn't grab it with his hands."

Liu Mu said at this time: "That's because you didn't see it. When you saw him, he had already been taught how to use chopsticks by someone sent by the Duke of Yue, and then he studied with me for a few days."

When Liu Mu was talking, he came in holding the qin in the air, and handed a small box to Liu Mu.

The willow wood was opened, and inside were four forks, two table knives and four spoons.

"This is the item I'm planning to sell next time I go to Eastern Rome. It's silver and silver-plated. There will be iron, copper, and wooden items in the future. The five thorns must be used by the emperor. Yes, civilians can only use two thorns. There are also differences in spoons, and there are two types of knives, saw blades and flat blades, and then I haven’t figured out how to distinguish between nobles and civilians.”

"How much is this worth?" Li Xiaogong was not optimistic about this business.

Liu Mu made a gesture: "The emperor uses it, so he has to ask him for seven or eight silver coins for a pair."
