Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 834
Separating the raw silk industry from Donggang Shipping Division, Liumu has no clue.

There are many splits, combinations, joint ventures, etc. in the TV news of later generations, but how can ordinary people know the details of the manipulation.

Therefore, Liu Mu can only rely on Jiang Ke and others to come up with a plan after research.

When it was almost noon, when Liu Mu was preparing for lunch, Cheng Yaojin came to Liu Mu's place, pulled out a chair and sat beside Liu Mu, and said to the maid beside Liu Mu: "Two more meals like your husband's."

As soon as the maid left, Lao Cheng took another look at the remaining maid and said, "Go get a bottle of light wine."

The maid also went out in response.

Liu Mu smiled inwardly, but his face was extremely serious: "Brother Cheng, what is the urgent military situation?"

Cheng Yaojin also had a serious face: "Yesterday evening, what did you say to those two golden retrievers?"

"This!" Liu Mu turned his head and smiled secretly.

"Hehe. Old Cheng didn't think about you that time. The coolies were all done by Lao Cheng." Cheng Yaojin immediately changed his face and approached Liu Mu with a smile.

Then Liu Mu said: "I said, if the two of them make you unable to get out of bed today, I will reward each of them with a piece of silk."

Cheng Yaojin asked in a low voice, "Where did you find these two?"

"This has nothing to do with me. Guo Xiaoke went to East Rome. This is the spoils of war in East Rome. Then he really didn't know what to buy there, and when he came back, he packed 200 people on an empty ship."

"200 people?" Cheng Yaojin stretched out two fingers.

"En!" Liu Mu nodded heavily.

Cheng Yaojin laughed loudly and slapped Liumu's shoulder heavily: "You are still kind brother, you always think of me when you have good things. Let me ask you, how many of these people do you have left?"

Liu Mu answered truthfully: "98, 90 are in Hangzhou, and eight are on board."

"How do you arrange these eight people?"

"Of course two per person."

"Everyone?"

Liu Mu nodded: "Even though Mr. Pei is old, it's a matter of face. Anyway, my mother-in-law said so. Then it's not easy to have Li Daoyan and Li Xiaocha to keep the silver mine. The only thing that makes me tangled It's Liu Rengui, I'm afraid my Sanniang will turn around and yell at me if she's not happy."

Cheng Yaojin was puzzled: "Why don't you bring more people?"

"These ten people learned our Chinese on the boat, at least they can barely understand some simple ones, and the rest are still learning if they don't understand."

Cheng Yaojin put his hand on Liumu's shoulder after listening: "Look at it this way. It's okay to send it to Lao Pei first, and Li Daoyan can also give it to him first. Since you are worried about your third mother yelling at you, then you can send it to Lao Pei first." Let’s wait for a few days, and Li Xiaocha’s older brother will tell him to wait a few more days.”

"don't know."

"What don't you understand, teach me the weird words you said yesterday. You are too stingy to reward one piece of silk, and my brother will reward each of them with ten silks. Damn, Lao Cheng will make everyone unable to get out of bed, so save In the future, if these bastards know some small words to make fun of me, brother, that’s how we will do it.”

Liu Mu laughed, but Cheng Yaojin had a dark face: "Just say yes, or no."

"Okay, okay, okay." Liu Mulian said three words and then said: "Brother Cheng, the most common piece of silk is half the weight of gold in Eastern Rome. You probably don't know yet, they exchanged it for a piece of silk." A well-bred horse, the horse itself weighs more than eighteen stones, and can pull a hundred stones, this is a top-quality horse."

"So powerful?" Cheng Yaojin was startled.

"How much does Old Cheng think this horse is worth in Chang'an?"

"A thousand horses is not much." Cheng Yaojin's own horse is worth more than 200 horses, and it is not a very purebred horse.Liu Mu's pure-bred sweat-blooded BMW Chang'an Noble is valued at five hundred guan.

Liu Mu said to Cheng Yaojin: "In Eastern Rome, a horse like this is worth a hundred taels of gold, or... three horses of medium and high-grade silk."

Hearing that the price is good, Cheng Yaojin exclaimed: "Ah!"

In an instant, Cheng Yaojin understood why Liumu's gift of silk was so terrible.

The piece of silk that Liu Mu rewarded was a middle-grade silk, and the market price in Chang'an was about [-] Wen.This small reward is not money in Cheng Yaojin's eyes.

Liu Mu fumbled in his sleeve, and a small buckskin bag was taken out.

Cheng Yaojin opened it and saw a bag of small pearls inside.

Small pearls are also pearls with a diameter of four to five millimeters, and they are considered large pearls in the eyes of ordinary people in modern times.

"What do you mean?" Cheng Yaojin knew Pearl, but didn't understand Liu Mu's meaning.

"In Eastern Rome, this thing has been enacted. Nobles from low to high can wear any size and color. The rules are extremely strict. This is no worse than our officials wearing the wrong color. This thing is in Eastern Rome. It’s useless to have money, you need to have status, silk and so on.”

Cheng Yaojin understood, and laughed loudly: "Don't worry about this, I will never tell Shubao."

Cheng Yaojin accepted the pearls, he had plenty of silk and so on, and took the eight female slaves from Eastern Rome away on the willow wooden boat that day, and spent time learning some ancient Greek seriously.

Cheng Yaojin couldn't learn the language, so Liu Mu used a stupid method of later generations.

One line of Greek text, another line of similar pronunciation in Chinese, and another line of explanation of the meaning of the Greek text.Old Cheng at least followed the reading, and he was able to speak some words and probably understood them.

After lunch, Liu Mu pulled Cheng Yaojin and refused to let him leave.

Cheng Yaojin followed Liumu to the sea, less than a hundred miles north of Fukuoka City, a small island without a name, Zhang Zhongjian also came here secretly.

After the three of them landed on the island, except for the two personal guards beside Liu Mu, the rest returned to the big boat by boat and waited.

There is a small wooden hut here, and two guards pulled out a Japanese nobleman who had obviously lived here for a long time from the wooden hut.

"Who is this, and you want to get him here to kill him?" Cheng Yaojin said this with a smile.

Liu Mu didn't answer, but signaled to wait.

What are you waiting for?
Liu Mu didn't explain, Cheng Yaojin and Zhang Zhongjian didn't ask either, Liu Mu was able to find them here on purpose, and there are no shipping routes or ships passing by in this area, only people who know this place will approach or go to the island.

About half an hour later, the Japanese nobleman began to show irritability and rage.

The two guards beside Liu Mu held down the Japanese nobleman with long sticks, and after another quarter of an hour, the Japanese nobleman began to tremble and then sweated.

Another quarter of an hour later, the Japanese nobleman wanted to pounce on Liu Mu.

Two of Liu Mu's personal guards were going to fight, but Liu Mu just signaled to persuade him.

Zhang Zhongjian saw the strangeness, and asked, "Is he poisoned?"
