Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 852 Nine Hundred Students
Niu Jinda didn't want to read any more after reading this, and took out a piece of paper and handed it to Liu Mu: "I don't think you are interested in listening to those laws. The most serious crime of these people is pretending to be a mission. In our Tang Dynasty, they were considered missionaries. There must be corresponding entertainment and gifts, and there will be discounts and discounts for hotel accommodation and shopping."

"Brother Niu, reductions and discounts are minor issues, and pretending to be a mission is a major matter that despises the prestige of the country." Liu Mu hurriedly reminded him.

"Yes, yes, it is to despise my Great Tang Guowei." Niu Jinda also realized that he had misunderstood the point of the crime, which would make the Ministry of Rites trouble him.

Niu Jinda added: "There is another felony, which is to set up a private workshop without the government's approval. Bribing officials, not following the law, taking concubines to make contracts, and smuggling weapons... I won't mention it, anyway, there is nothing wrong with killing them."

"Well, they are all serious crimes." Liu Mu is very clear that in real history, about 100 years later, the Persians and Arabs came to Tang Dynasty to reach a peak trade, and there were more than 20 Persians and Arabs in Guangzhou alone.

"These people have to be beaten hard to be obedient."

Liu Mu saw that the wooden cage was already ruthless enough, and now he was going to fight again, so he immediately asked, "Brother Niu doesn't like these people."

"Well, in the former Sui Dynasty. When there was chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Persians took advantage of the chaos and robbed the government. They are robbers and thieves by nature. They don't understand etiquette, or even honor and inferiority. They only recognize coins and steel knives. These people can't letter."

Liu Mu comforted him and said, "Brother Niu is right, but under the prestige of the Tang Dynasty, the Persian merchants who abide by the laws of the Tang Dynasty and the Bosi Law always account for the majority. It's for the rich and the unkind."

Niu Jinda was very dissatisfied with this statement, Liu Mu hurriedly said in a low voice: "If you want to think about it, if you say it, let it go."

"Ah!" Niu Jinda came to his senses.

Looking at Liu Mu's style, he hates Japanese people very much, but he never said anything, and has been declaring that he is working hard to help countless Japanese slaves become civilians.

"Yes, the Persians are much better. These villains are a minority."

"Yes, that's the reason." Liu Muxin said that Niu Jinda finally came to his senses.

After returning to the resting room, Liu Mu waited for half an hour before a Persian businessman who had changed his clothes entered the room.

Just passing the threshold of the house, the Persian businessman knelt on the ground and shouted for a long time without knowing what he was talking about.

At this time Liu Rengui entered, followed by two young civil servants.

"I think the selected Persian businessmen don't need to understand Chinese. All they have value is their faces and enough obedience. These two are proficient in Persian, Goguryeo, and Silla. The excellent staff from the Ministry of Rites The election of officials, presumably can meet the requirements."

After Liu Rengui finished speaking, the two immediately stepped forward: "As the son-in-law orders."

"Thank you. The first request is to hide the fact that you understand Goguryeo and Silla. You only know Persian. When you arrive at Pingcheng in Goguryeo, you speak Chinese. If you don't understand, let them find someone who understands Chinese. Say, this is important.”

Liu Mu confessed a detail.

Liu Rengui said from the side: "Just say this so that they don't understand, it's better to ask the people from Wenyue Pavilion to train them for ten days."

"Alright." Liu Mu approved Liu Rengui's suggestion.

The two officials left, and the Persian was also taken out. Liu Rengui went up to Liumu and said, "Three generations of the two families have checked. Although they are poor family scholars, the three generations have been reliable people."

"My opinion is to send some money and food to their families."

"Understood, they came out to work, and the rewards of money and food at home made these two people work harder. I will arrange this. Another thing, I came two days late because there was some delay. The holy decree ordered me The teacher escorted four passenger ships, and the ship has arrived at Tsushima Island, I only know that the people on board are sent to you by the saints."

"Go and meet." Liu Mu didn't remember asking Li Shimin for help.

The four passenger ships pulled over may have a total of more than 200 people, or even more. What are so many people doing?

Soon, Liu Mu met Ma Zhou.

"Why are you here?" Liu Mu was surprised how Ma Zhou came here.

Ma Zhou said in a low voice: "The sage said that Mr. Lang has a plan for the Japanese, which is very good. This year, there are a lot of poor students, and the number of people selected by the Sixth Court is limited every year. Wenyue Pavilion is arranged to train these people for two days. After working outside for two to four years, the outstanding ones can directly enter the Sixth Courtyard for study, and the extremely outstanding ones can enter the Upper Two Courtyards.”

After receiving the list handed over by Ma Zhou, and then a list of goods pulled on the ship, Liu Mu nodded slightly: "It is indeed a clever plan."

Ma Zhou smiled: "Is the gentleman boasting?"

"Hahaha!" Liu Mu laughed a few times, and pulled Ma Zhou into the house.

Li Shimin sent Liumu 670 sons of poor families and 230 children of noble families, seven of whom were legitimate sons of noble families, a total of 900 people.

50 volumes of the Three Character Classic were collected on board, and [-] volumes of other books.

In addition to these, the storyteller sent 40 people, and two of them were the proud disciples of the royal scholar Kaneba Shichiro.

This was only brought by Ma Zhou, and Li Shimin also ordered Quanzhou to prepare [-] calligraphy trays for Liumu.

This kind of calligraphy tray is a square wooden tray, which can be filled with fine sand, and then the sand is flattened with a ruler, and writing is practiced on the sand with a wooden pole.This is a must for Chang'an Mengtong Academy.

Paper is too expensive, so practice with sand before using real paper and pen.

Even children from noble families used sand to practice writing before the age of eight.

After entering the room and sitting down, Liu Mu asked Ma Zhou, "If you were asked to come here in person, then there must be an effective plan?"

"No." Ma Zhou shook his head: "It's just that the sage thinks that it is worth learning from the practice of letting the Japanese learn to read and write Chinese, and assigning important tasks to the outstanding ones. How Goguryeo will implement it is completely unknown, and everything can only be played by ear."

Liu Mu asked Ma Zhou, "What arrangement does the sage have for you?"

"I have three tasks. The first is to assist King Yijun to sort out all the information about Liaodong and the peninsula. The second is to serve as the governor of Yizhou. The third is to cooperate with Mr. Lang in managing these people. These scholars are not from Wenyue Pavilion. Secret agents, training them is just to let them always remember that they are Tang people."

After listening to Ma Zhou's explanation, Liu Mu understood.

People who are close to him will be sent around Goguryeo. This is a great gift from Li Shimin to him.

Even if this gift is cut into [-] shares, it would be a great achievement to distribute it to anyone.

Anyone who is qualified to participate in the destruction of Goguryeo will get a shocking achievement.

After Ma Zhou finished his mission, he took out a letter and handed it to Liu Mu.

It's a letter from Changsun Wuji.
