Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 877 Willow's Sincerity

Willow explained:
"It's very simple, let me give you an example. Why don't I plan to cooperate with Yuan's, but choose another one. The real reason is that one or several companies other than Yuan's can not only own In addition to the huge amount of wealth, it is also necessary for these companies to accumulate a lot of contacts and strength."

"More importantly, these companies need manpower. Porcelain vases are a labor-intensive industry. If you want to have a high-yield porcelain vase workshop, the raw materials needed are very important, but skilled craftsmen are not necessarily."

When Liu Mu said this, Cui Yiyan was thoughtful.

Liu Mu was not in a hurry, brewed tea and served refreshments, and slowly washed the teapot and the whole tea set.

Cui Yiyan thought for a long time before raising his head: "I, Cui, invested a lot of money in the Xing kiln in Xingzhou. I remember an old kiln worker came up with an interesting idea, but later this idea was taken by a new kiln in Jiangnan. Using."

Liu Mu probably guessed what the idea was.

But Liu Mu was still waiting for Cui Yiye to continue talking.

Cui Yiyan said: "Xing Kiln has a large number of apprentice workers, and these people are master workers for simple objects. However, several new kilns in the south of the Yangtze River can't do it. They use a seemingly stupid but extremely clever method. After the plate is rotated, it is pressed with the polished inner and outer molds, and hundreds of simple objects such as bowls and plates can be made into one shape.”

Only then did Liu Mu add: "And the speed is very fast, people who have trained for ten days and a half months can get started."

"That's it, plus a spray printing idea that Jiangxi came up with. Simple patterns can be printed directly on the bottle without drawing."

"Yes." Liu Mu naturally knew about these technical improvements.

All because the theory of mass production stimulated the initial development of Datang's industry, especially with the extensive use of coal, the porcelain industry has entered a blowout period of technological development.

Cui Yiyan continued: "This inferior porcelain vase..."

Liu Mu interrupted Cui Yiyan: "It's not a low-grade defective product, but ordinary flat porcelain."

"Yes, Pingci." Cui Yiyan changed his words and began to talk about his thoughts: "As far as I know, there are several high-quality kaolin on the peninsula, but there is no Baekje south of the river, only Silla. "

Liu Mu nodded with a smile, it seems that Cui Yiyan knew what he wanted to do without having to speak.

"Also, when the nobles of Baekje become rich, they will rob Silla of minerals and personnel, and they will also rob the business held by the nobles of Goguryeo. They will become a thorn in the side of many people."

"Which of them dies, how many die has nothing to do with us." Cui Yiyan's last sentence was full of murderous intent.

Liu Mu could tell that even if they didn't have civil strife, Cui Yiyan would make these people fight for profit.

Only then did Liu Mu say: "What I want most is to let the Yuan family take over the joint business of the other nobles in Goguryeo, or other nobles unite to attack the Yuan family. Of course, the Yuan family still has a solid foundation and cannot be moved easily. This is the final result. That is, the Yuan family is likely to have stronger control over Goguryeo."

Cui Yiyan stopped talking again, sat down and lowered his head to think.

After a while, Cui Yiyan said again: "Can you tell me quietly that the sage plans to destroy Goguryeo in a few years."

Liu Mu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and asked, "If you ask this, you won't be afraid of having nightmares at night."

Datang's important military secrets, such questions cannot be asked indiscriminately.

Before Cui Yiyan could explain, Liu Mu said to him: "The plan is up to 13 years, and the shortest is seven years. That's what it says, the plan doesn't change quickly, but one thing is very certain, it must not be less than five years, after all Our Tang Dynasty needs time to stabilize the Northwest, North, Western Regions, and Southwest..."

"Stop, stop." Cui Yiyan told Liu Mu to stop: "I still know that there was another fight in the north of Gaochang City last month."

"Ah, why don't I know."

"You're too idle, and you don't bother to care about these things. Nishi's control over Western Turks is not high, at least half of them are restless. It's far away, I understand what you mean, many places can't be freed until they are leveled An all-out war against Goguryeo."

After Cui Yiyan finished speaking, he told Liu Mu the question he had just thought about: "I have an idea. Let Baekje provoke the anger of the Silla people first, and then become hostile to Goguryeo because of profit sharing, and wait for Silla, Goguryeo, Baekje Ji and the others were about to die before, and those who were going to make trouble had accumulated enough resentment, so it will take seven years for this to happen."

"You can write official documents for Shang Shuxing yourself, I will not participate in this matter."

Liu Mu felt that the Cui Yiyan he thought of had already thought of it, and the Cui Yiyan he hadn't thought of was also thinking about it.

Then it's better to hand over this plan to Cui Yiyan to execute.

Cui Yiyan agreed, and there are not many top officials in the Qinghe Cui family at the moment, which is not as good as Wen's. The three Wen brothers are all above the third rank, so if he wants to go further, he needs great merit.

Since Liu Mu is willing to entrust this job to himself, he is not afraid of hard work, complexity, or trouble.

Cui Yiyan said: "That's fine, I'll continue. But I also need a handwritten letter from you. After all, I don't have the right to stir up infighting among the nobles of the three countries in the peninsula. You can, so I want you to write a warrant."

Liu Mu naturally agreed: "There is no problem with the warrant, and official documents are fine. But there is one sentence that comes to the fore, so don't be too hasty, grasp the rhythm and make the nobles of the peninsula want to die."

Hahaha.

Cui Yiyan laughed loudly: "Don't worry, I'm good at this."

Since Cui Yiyan wants to take over this matter, Liu Mu is also happy to relax.

Not only was the warrant, but also an official document from the general secretary was handed over to Cui Yiyan, and then another official document was sent to Chang'an to be recorded by the Ministry of Finance.

Cui Yiyan will also submit a detailed plan to Chang'an, and he can start to implement it after review.

Originally, Liu Mu planned to meet with the porcelain vase investment group headed by several Jiangnan aristocrats and firms led by the Xiao family, but now this matter belongs to Cui Yiyan, and Liu Mu said that he would not interfere at all.

Cui Yiyan was busy for three days, and he didn't sleep for more than four hours in total.

Only cronies and staff members participated, and Cui Yiyan personally wrote a plan with a thickness of three inches and nearly [-] words.When Cui Yiyan was about to send someone to take him to Chang'an, Liu Mu arrived again.

"Liu Concubine is going to take a look at my plan first?"

As Cui Yiyan spoke, he ordered his subordinates to open the sealed box that hadn't been painted yet.

Liu Mu said, "No, I'm here to give you a small gift."

A letter was not written by Liu Mu, but in a woman's handwriting.

Cui Yiyan opened it and found that it was authorized by Wenyue Pavilion.Cui Yiyan was overjoyed and bowed in front of Liu Mu.
