Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 866
The chief manager of the dock reported some of the daily progress here, the amount of shipbuilding and other matters, and then accompanied Liu Mu back to the house.

But I saw Li Yuan, the Supreme Emperor, drawing a picture.

It seems that Li Yuan is planning to add a relief on the outside of the hull, but Liu Mu intends to dissuade him.The dock manager stopped the willow wood and said in a low voice: "This is a small craft. You only need to number the ship boards in advance, then thicken them and arrange people to carve them and install them on the hull. It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome."

Li Yuan put forward many requirements that sounded completely useless to the performance of the ship to Liu Mu.

Liu Mu tried to stop it several times.

On the contrary, the shipyard manager and the two ghost-level shipwrights agreed without any objection. As long as the hull structure is not modified, the rest of the decorations are minor problems.

Liu Mu left Tang Taishang Huang Li Yuan in Nagato Dockyard.

Sitting in his own boat, Liu Mu began to write letters to Li Shimin.

Accompanying Liu Mu was Xie Xing'er, Xie Xing'er was grinding ink while quietly watching Liu Mu write the letter.

It's not a confidential letter, it's just a seemingly ordinary letter home, and some small suggestions.

Liu Mu wrote in the letter that the Supreme Emperor was ill a few days ago, and it was a heart disease.This kind of heart disease is like an old general suddenly disarmed and returned to the field, with a sense of powerlessness, uselessness and so on.

Then came Liu Mu's suggestion, one suggestion after another.

Suddenly, Xie Xing'er said, "Husband, can I write a letter to my family?"

"Why not?" replied Willow, continuing his letter.

Xie Xing'er said: "Husband, this letter may cause some trouble. I want the family to select outstanding children, especially those with excellent knowledge, to follow the Supreme Emperor. They can be servants or ordinary clerks. Record the Supreme Emperor footprints, what the Supreme Emperor has seen and heard, and every word that the Supreme Emperor said."

Willow put down the pen in his hand.

Xie Xing'er's words made Liu Mu realize that what he thought seemed to be simple.

Liu Mu put down his smile and looked sideways at Xie Xing'er, Xie Xing'er covered his mouth and smiled: "Could it be that my husband didn't think about it before."

"No, I thought about it, but it was easy."

"I'm afraid it's true that my husband doesn't care about these small things. Thinking of the Supreme Emperor's rule in the world, then the cartographer and the surveyor are the most important people. The scribes may not be important, but follow the Supreme Emperor's way, two or three years. Not to mention increasing knowledge, this qualification alone, even the prince will be tempted."

Willow silently nodded.

Xie Xing'er asked again: "Husband, how far will the Supreme Emperor go?"

Liu Mu still didn't answer, but took out a blank piece of paper and quickly drew a chart. This chart is neither standard nor formal, but the scope is huge.

Xie Xing'er stared at the chart for a while, then asked in a low voice, "Husband, is this the Thousand Islands Road?"

Liu Mu drew a small circle with a pencil: "This is Qiandao, and the rest of the place is unknown. This is Dayang Island. This island has a billion acres of top-quality pastures, but there are no sheep, no rabbits, and no wolves. The climate is very good, the scenery is beautiful, and occasionally you can see the lightning in the sky right in front of you."

Xie Xing'er also roughly made a comparison, and exclaimed: "This, this is ten times the land of the Tang Dynasty."

"Yes, all these places are definitely ten times the land of the Tang Dynasty. Then you know, when the water in Liaodong turns to ice, the Qiandao Road can still play in the water."

"Yes, it is recorded in ancient books that it gets hotter the further south you go."

Liu Mu smiled and said: "Not necessarily, many theories in ancient books will be overturned. When Chang'an is summer, Gold Coast is winter. When Chang'an is winter, Gold Coast is summer. This is the world."

Xie Xing'er opened her mouth wide in shock but couldn't utter a word.

Liu Mu picked up his letter and read it, then tore out the last few pages and wrote it again.

Liu Mu's attitude has changed this time. He wants to thank Xie Xing'er for reminding him. Liu Mu reminded Li Shimin in his new letter that whoever wants to go on an adventure with the Supreme Emperor must show sincerity.

The clan must give up some interests and powers to the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, and at the very least to the cabinet.

As for what to put in, Liu Mu won't worry about it.Fang and Du are truly talented, not to mention that Changsun Wuji is devoted to the royal family wholeheartedly.

To enclose the land, Liumu wants to turn the South China Sea into the inland sea of ​​Datang.

After the new private letter was written, Liumu sealed it with wax paint, and arranged for the ship to be sent back to Chang'an when it arrived at Xinjin Port.

When the boat was entering the port, Liumu saw a boat with a special mark, and when he approached, Liumu found that it was Feng An's boat.

After getting off the pier, the first thing Liu Mu did was to find Feng An.

At this time, Feng An was about ten miles north of here, and there was a camp there, which was used as the location of the logistics granary. When Liu Mu arrived, Feng An was watching the Gogulinu pushing the grain cart into the granary.

"Mr. Feng?"

"Brother, I'm afraid it's a surprise. Why did I come here?"

Liu Mu nodded: "En."

"Brother, I originally planned to go to Chang'an. When I passed by Huating, I met Cui Yiye of the Cui family and his uncle Cui Hong. We discussed investing in new grain fields and two fertilizer workshops. .There is another matter that was originally an official matter, and I originally wanted to enter Chang'an Miansheng for my brother."

"Miansheng?" Liu Muxin said that Feng An, as Lingnan's guardian envoy, would not go to Chang'an easily without some serious matter.

Feng An said to Liu Mu: "Brother, I have encountered some not-so-small troubles."

"What's the trouble?"

"The Liuzhao is rebelling. They didn't explicitly rebel, but they are secretly expelling our businessmen, and some tribes are preparing to go north. I have already sent someone to contact Duan Lun. He also thinks that the Liuzhao will be rebelling. He is already dispatching troops. , repair the city defenses, move some villages to the north, and defend the Six Commandments from going north."

Liu Mu immediately asked: "Then does the sage know?"

"I know, Duan Lun doesn't have enough troops to quell the chaos, so he can only defend first. Even if he doesn't have enough troops, he can completely defend. But I can't, even with the support of the Tong clan and other [-] clans."

For such a big matter, Feng An's calm expression made Liu Mu admire.

Liu Mu guessed: "Because Mr. Feng, your defense line is too long."

"Yes, if there is no place in Funan and Chenla, then I don't have to worry about it at all. Funan and Chenla are not familiar with the terrain, and it is not easy to defend. If you give up, so much investment before will be ruined. Tens of millions of acres of rice fields My brother can't afford to pay for this item, and there are countless merchants' entire net worth in it."

Feng An patted Liu Mu's shoulder lightly: "Cui Honggong gave me a suggestion, so that I don't have to go to face the saint, just come to you, and you can give me a hundred thousand soldiers."

One hundred thousand soldiers and horses is not a small number, and Liu Mu did not reply after hearing it.
