Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 989

A bolt of linen.

The workshop cost of forty coins, and the rest are transportation costs, distribution costs, store costs, taxes and store profits.

Cui Yiye asked Liumu again: "Why haven't you considered selling wool products to the Mediterranean Sea?"

"Wait a minute, I plan to make wool locally, process it in Africa, and then sell it back to the Mediterranean. There are still some places in the canal where large ships cannot go, and the cost of transporting by small boats is too high. Wait, wait."

Cui Yiye asked again: "My staff told me that the appearance of white velvet cloth will impact the original linen market, and the impact is very shocking. In terms of Huating's industrial structure, the original wooden linen looms will no longer be used. To replace it with steel hemp looms, and consider leaving some production capacity to replace it with white velvet cloth, aiming at the white velvet fields in Hebei."

"Good staff, you can feel it yourself. Is it more comfortable to wear fine white flannelette than linen? The most comfortable is high-grade velvet. This is the demand, the demand of the common people, the demand of the nobles, and the demand determines the industry."

Cui Yiye agreed with Liu Mu's words, and nodded involuntarily.

Cui Yiye added: "The most comfortable is a trial product, white velvet, gold cashmere, and silk cotton mixed in a certain proportion to knit close-fitting clothing, and it is also divided into different materials for four seasons."

"According to a ratio?" Liu Mu was very curious about this word.

Cui Yiye nodded: "It was created by a small merchant. The formula has applied for government protection, and the trial product won the top spot in a display in Chang'an Wutongfang."

"It's really good." Liu Mu gave another unsalty evaluation.

When Cui Yiye was about to say something again, Liu Mu suddenly grabbed Cui Yiye: "I said, have you been enough of this little governor? There is something more interesting, and I think you should be interested. And only People like you can make this interesting thing more interesting."

After Cui Yiye was stunned for a moment, he subconsciously said, "There is a conspiracy."

"That's it!"

Liu Mu's generous admission made Cui Yiye a little uncomfortable.

Cui Yiye brought Liumu to a quiet room in the textile workshop before asking, "Tell me what is interesting."

"First ask, how much do you know about the Mediterranean Sea?"

"A lot!"

Cui Yiye is in Huating, which is one of the four major ports of the Tang Dynasty, especially one of the two major ports for trade with the Mediterranean Sea. Cui Yiye has collected a large amount of detailed knowledge about the Mediterranean Sea.

From geography, humanities, customs, specialties, society, etc., Cui Yiye even organized people to sort them out and prepare to compile them into books.

Cui Yiye didn't wait for Liu Mu to ask questions, and talked a lot about the Mediterranean Sea.

After listening quietly for a long time, Liu Mu interrupted Cui Yiye: "So, do you think it is possible to make Romeo a new king?"

"Benefits?" Cui Yiye asked directly about the benefits.

Liu Mu smiled at this question.

Cui Yiye asked again: "What good does this matter do to our Tang Dynasty, and what good does it do to my Qinghe Cui family?"

"It's good to talk about the benefits."

Liu Mu took out a piece of paper from his arms and quickly drew a simple map of the Mediterranean Sea, and then drew three circles.

"Look, this is Northern Europe. It starts to spread from the northern island of Britannia. Then it is called the Black Sea, and it spreads from Herameli's hometown, and then here is the west exit of the Mediterranean Sea, the Visigothic Kingdom, and then Romeo His mission is to convert the Visigothic kingdom to our Taoism and Buddhism."

Cui Yiye stared at the map for a long time before slightly nodded: "It does sound interesting."

"The Kingdom of Visigoths represents the western exit of the Mediterranean Sea, and from here to the south is the west coast of Africa, and to the north is the southern part of Britannia. The people there have a strong desire to conquer and a very crazy behavior. Christians must die."

"I've heard that, barbarians are barbarians."

It is not too much for Cui Yiye to use the word barbarian to comment on the various ethnic groups in the Mediterranean.

In Qinghe Cui's eyes, Li and Tang's royal family has just learned a little bit of etiquette, and they have a shallow understanding of etiquette and music.

The Roman emperor and the Roman Senate are still barbarians in Qinghe Cui's eyes. They don't even wear neat clothes, there are no rules up and down, and they yell and stretch out their hands to grab them after eating.

"If there are three new kingdoms, richer than the original kingdom, and believe in Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism. What do you think will happen?"

After thinking for a while, Cui Yiye replied: "It is estimated that they will be treated as prey."

and then?
Cui Yiye and Liu Mu both laughed.

A hunter found a rabbit, and when he was about to hunt it, he suddenly realized that what he saw was not a rabbit, but the white front paws of a tiger, so it was hard to say who was the prey.

Cui Yiye was really interested, and asked Liu Mu in a low voice: "Then, what benefits does our Cui family have?"

"Are you sure that your Cui family can handle this matter? If possible, I will help you get a hundred-mile fief in front of the saint. It is a real fief. How about it?"

Cui Yiye grabbed Liu Mu's wrist and asked in a cold voice, "If we train this barbarian named Romeo into an obedient pawn, what would you say?"

"Kill if you don't obey, and help someone who is obedient."

"Okay. I'll do something first. For example, let this earl who has never seen the world experience the prosperity of my Tang Dynasty. At the same time, I will also write letters to my family. I am not qualified to make decisions on this matter. As you said, Maybe only my Cui clan is afraid that they won't be able to support such a big event."

Cui Yiye's heart was moved, and after the heart was moved, he acted immediately.

An hour later, Cui Yiye's attitude towards Romeo changed slightly when he saw Romeo again.

At least Cui Yiye took the initiative to speak politely to Romeo.

Cui Yiye said: "15 pieces of linen cloth of various colors, do you think it is too much at this moment?"

Romeo shook his head: "I'm like a small fish in a river bend, I can't think of what will be in the sea."

"You are talented, that's a good statement." Cui Yiye said to the followers around him after a word of praise: "Order, go to Hangzhou tomorrow. Tonight, just prepare some dinner casually."

It's casual, Romeo and the Mediterranean merchants who came with him have a table of ten people, each table has twelve dishes and one soup.

Cui Yiye didn't accompany him, he thought that Romeo's identity was not enough.

Willow will not accompany you.

However, Cui Yiye invited the people from Wenyue Pavilion stationed in Huating Port to inquire about the conversation between Romeo and other people.

During the dinner, a businessman did say to Romeo: "The business of fine linen is a big business that can only be done by a big businessman in our eyes. Today I know that 15 bolts of fine linen are here, and it is just a small businessman among many businesses." One, I don’t know if this town is considered a big city in the Tang Empire.”
