Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 860
Yuan Pure Land asked about the quality.

Yuan Gai Suwen replied: "I didn't mention the quality. I only said that 100 people will be sent to Quanzhou in a short time, and then we will discuss the detailed price. Or arrange another way, that is, auction."

Yuan Pure Land was puzzled: "What is an auction?"

"Auction is a way of bidding in Chang'an. When there is only one treasure of a certain kind, the one with the highest bid will get it. I can't agree to this method. The beneficiary can only be the Persian businessman, so I hope that 100 people per boat will say If we set a standard price, the auction can be held, and the beneficiary can only be me."

Yuan Jingtu asked again: "What is Tang Liu's son-in-law doing in Pingcheng?"

Yuan Gai Suwen replied: "Based on the observation of the people we arranged, the account book was sent over by the wharf yesterday evening. He should have come to check the account. Another news is that he is sending someone to check the Tang merchant's shop. It seems that The Tang court established a rule that some goods are not allowed to be sold outside Chang'an."

"Is there anything that is not allowed to be sold outside Chang'an?"

"The fine steel crossbow is the information obtained by the people we sent to investigate, and the rest is temporarily unknown."

Tang Jing Steel Crossbow, the Yuan family has one of this weapon, which was obtained from Yanzhou at a very high price. Although one is damaged, the steel arrow it barely shoots is still astonishingly powerful.

Yuan Gai Suwen believes that the steel crossbow used by the real elite Tang army is definitely a weapon on the battlefield.

"We must find a way to get some Tang elite weapons, not ordinary weapons."

"It's more troublesome, but you're right. We have to find a way to do this matter. Even if there are only one or two, we can let good craftsmen imitate them." Slowly get some real sharp weapons of the Tang people.

What Yuan Gai Suwen didn't know was that Liu Mu came here to check the accounts, with only two goals.

Big and small goals.

The big goal is to change the clothes of these guards and arrange meals.

The small target is the goods brought here by the Persians, this business Willow is very concerned about.

Yang Luo stood beside Liu Mu: "My son-in-law, the change of clothes is over. The ten lieutenants in Laizhou have already started training Goguryeo soldiers."

Liu Mu asked Yang Luo: "Do you know why you did this?"

"My son-in-law, I think this is a test to test the loyalty of these Goguryeo soldiers to Goguryeo. Under the bright armor and better food, how much their hearts will be shaken."

"kindness."

Yang Luo said again: "Why only arrange one meal is to let them compare the difference between the two meals."

Liu Mu asked: "Then what should we do next?"

"I will send people to spread some news. It is estimated that the Goguryeo people will probably arrange a change of defense in about three months. Another batch of guards will come over, and the lower officials will arrange people to carefully observe some subtle changes."

Liu Mu shook his head: "No, don't let the Goguryeo people feel that we have any lure."

After thinking for a moment, Yang Luo replied: "No, it is more difficult to guard Tangfang than the ordinary city guards in Pingcheng. We require standing posture, walking posture, formation, and cleanliness of clothes, etc."

"Think again, pay attention to details, details determine success or failure." Liu Mu reminded and said: "Don't let the Goguryeo people doubt you."

"The lower official understands that the lower official will discuss more with his staff, and would rather not do anything than make mistakes."

"Yes, this is Goguryeo. The consequences of making a mistake are extremely serious. It is right not to make a mistake." Liu Mu put a small piece of bamboo on the table: "This is your identity. You can share with Wenyue." The more the cabinet discusses, the more business they have.”

"Yes." Yang Luo took the small piece of bamboo with both hands.

It looks like a piece of bamboo, but it feels cold when you touch it. This is a piece of iron, made to look like a piece of bamboo.

Yang Luo was just an ordinary civil servant, being able to cooperate with Wenyue Pavilion made him more confident in controlling Tang Fang.

After Yang Luo left, Baoqin appeared next to Liumu, and Liumu said to Baoqin, "What I want to know is how many kinds of thoughts Goguryeo people will have when facing Goguryeo's destruction. Fighting to the death, or if they can have a better life Just surrender me to the Tang Dynasty, this matter is not urgent, Yang Luo has a good saying, it is better not to do it than to make mistakes."

"Well, I will explain to the people in Wenyue Pavilion."

"It's not too late to come up with a conclusion in three to five years. Take this matter slowly. Also, tell the people in Wenyue Pavilion that if the Xiao family really plans to invest in a porcelain workshop here, you let Wenyue Pavilion secretly come out." A little effort. After this matter, the Xiao family will come up with a corresponding thank you gift."

Baoqin nodded to express his understanding.

Liu Mu left Pingcheng that evening, and seeing Tangfang with his own eyes was very satisfying.

Afterwards, Liumu went to Beisha City and Juqishan City, but only stayed for one day.

After returning to Jiangnan, staying with his son for two days, Xiao Ling'er was left behind, and Xie Xing'er boarded a boat and went all the way south to the country of a thousand islands.

After Liu Mu left, Xiao Ling'er took Liu Lin back to her mother's house.

The Xiao family held a big banquet, more than 40 big families and thousands of people were invited to the banquet.

In addition to the famous gentry in the Jiangnan area, there are also six great merchants.

The elders of the Xiao clan brought a total of 50 people into the back hall.

"Everyone, please look at this data."

Everyone has an extra document in their hands, which states the income of Goguryeo porcelain craftsmen, the prices of Goguryeo kaolin, coal and other materials, etc.

Someone looked through the information and asked: "So, how much is the tax in Goguryeo?"

"There is no tax. Goguryeo's tax is very unreasonable. Our population is calculated on a household basis. They use knots, and two hundred stones are one knot. To put it simply, it is food production. The rest are not taxed, and the nobles rely on the people. No matter where the handicraft industry is, there is no need to pay taxes, and there is no relevant tax collection department in Goguryeo.”

Goguryeo's system is no secret to the upper class nobles of the Tang Dynasty.

As early as the former Sui Dynasty, these people studied Goguryeo thoroughly.

"Liu Concubine has a letter to the old man. The content of the letter is to let Yuan Shi miss this cooperation, we will cooperate with Gao Shi, then after Gao Shi gets a huge profit, what will Yuan Shi do?"

Immediately after the Xiao clan elder finished speaking, a big businessman asked to speak.

The elder of the Xiao clan said loudly: "Those who can sit here today, anyone can say whatever they want, and it doesn't matter if they say something wrong, as long as they don't make trouble for no reason, everything can be said."

The big businessman said after saluting: "Why don't you contact a few more companies, it will be enough to fight against Yuan's in the future."

"Do you think Yuanshi will take action when he sees Gaoshi earning money?"

"It will definitely, the Goguryeo I know is currently covering the sky with only one hand."

"Because of this, we chose the Gao family. Our interests will not be damaged, and there is Datang behind us. Therefore, it can only be the Yuan family that robs the Gao family, and then we continue to do our business. But other Goguryeo The nobles can't sleep well, and the Yuan family who is too domineering will make people afraid."
