Li Yuan said that he didn't care about those concubines, Liu Mu didn't dare to think so, Liu Mu said: "This is my intention to be a junior." ”

Li Yuan waved his hand: "Don't fool me, an old man, then Kagoshima is really interesting?" Also, can you afford the cost of this trip? ”

Liu Mu replied: "Father, I have already sent someone to write official documents to all the state capitals along the way, and I have asked Xiao Gong and Fang Gong to also write private letters. It is required that the state governments shall not spend public expense to receive them, and if they wish to offer, the total amount shall not exceed 100 yuan. Even those of us who travel all over the world can't spend a lot of money. ”

"Yes." Li Yuan nodded: "Very good, it's right to ask the state government not to spend money indiscriminately." ”

"The cousin of my father's emperor traveled around Jiangdu. It is estimated that there were 100,000 people on board, and I heard that the captain of the ship was more than 200 miles, and the last boat did not sail out until 50 days after the first one. There were 80,000 boatmen and more than 200,000 soldiers on the shore, 100,000 people carrying grain every day, and the fish in the water were fattened twice by the meals that were thrown out every day. ”

Hahaha. Li Yuan laughed, this is not a rumor, but a fact.

Liu Mu pointed to the six auxiliary boats in front and behind: "On this ship, the main ship has two small general cannons, the auxiliary boat has four small general cannons, ten wolf squatting cannons, four tiger squatting cannons, and sixty thunderbolts each." Each ship had one hundred and twenty elite soldiers, two hundred and forty strong steel crossbows, and thirty thousand arrows. ”

"How many enemies?" Li Yuan asked.

"On the water, these ships can destroy all the ships outside of Datang's line of sight, whether it is a thousand or ten thousand. If we really want to fight, we can make the peninsula and Wajima no longer have a plank into the water. The second brother gave an order to clear the bandits, and later my eldest brother-in-law also relayed this order to Lulin. ”

Li Yuan knew about this.

As a result, the armed forces of the Tang Dynasty that are not controlled by the imperial court are at least on the front, whether it is land or waterway, they have been cleared, and some bandits hiding in the deep mountains and old forests are no longer afraid.

A ranger with strong martial arts is more willing to exchange for a meritorious service and a title.

Even if he is not subject to official positions, he will not refuse the title of Datang, and he is willing to fight for Datang when necessary.

Mu Yun, Zhao Wu and others are this kind of people. They don't want officials, just knighthoods and corresponding tax-exempt acres.

There is another type of people, such as Yan Qi and others, they are trying to achieve fame, there are still many empty official positions under the seat of Qin Qiong, the hidden guard of the gods, these people will exchange their merits, they are willing to take people deep into the desert, lurking in Goguryeo and Wadao.

The picture is that one day, he will be ranked in the court and glorify his ancestors.

Liu Mu said again: "When I arrived in Jiangnan, there was an elite sailor there, and no one could beat it except for the fear of heaven, earth and the sea. At the moment, they are poor, and when they have money, they will be equipped with sixty-four general cannons, where there is sea, there will be their wharf, and where the sun shines, there will be the banner of my Datang. ”

Li Yuan was a little puzzled: "How to use these sixty-four great generals' cannons?" ”

Liu Mu laughed evilly: "One of us, one boat for the enemy, and then settled, three miles away, I used the general's cannon to fire a salvo, and there were thirty-two cannons on one side." When these cannons hit the enemy ships, let's get closer and consider whether to fight in close combat. ”

Li Yuan took a few steps back, then walked to the side of the ship to look out, then looked at the surrounding escort boats, and then gestured with his hand at the pig iron and copper cannonballs of a large general cannon, and then looked at the nearby escort boats.

"Well, it's not worth it."

"Father, why is it a non-compliant algorithm?" Yanagi asked.

Li Yuan said: "Remember, the cost of firing a cannon from this great general is extremely huge, and this 32 shells in one breath is estimated to be much more expensive than a boat over there, which is not cost-effective, which is equivalent to exchanging two ships for one boat." ”

"We're rich and capricious." Liu Mu suddenly came to say this. Li Yuan was about to ask a question, but saw Wan Guifei coming out of the cabin and preparing to call Liu Mu and Li Yuan to dinner.

Li Yuan smiled and didn't say anything more, but he didn't believe that what Liu Mu had just said was the truth.

The main hall of the big ship, there can only be seven seats here, all of them are long and low, Liu Mu originally planned to sit in the next seat, but Li Yuan asked Liu Mu to sit in the main seat with him.

The position of the main seat is that Li Yuan sits in the center, Wan Guifei sits on the left side, and Liu Mu sits on the right side.

The other six seats have four seats for two people and two seats for three people.

"Today's banquet is to taste the big carp of the Yellow River, and I know that my son pities the world, and the food in many dangerous places will never be supplied to the palace, but just like that, ordinary food is still the first in the world."

Li Yuan, my son, refers to Liu Mu.

A son-in-law can also be called a son.

Such a big carp of the Yellow River, in the later generations of modern willow wood do not even need to think about it, here, only a letter, even the county guard of Hedong does not need to be alarmed, willing to send fresh carp to the willow wood businessmen, workshops lined up in a long line.

This section of the east of the river is the location where the wind crossed to Sanmenxia in the later generations, which belongs to one of the three most delicious producing areas of the Yellow River, and the other two are the Luoyang section and the Zhengzhou section.

After serving, the plate and bowl served by the chief are different from the other tables.

There are six more very delicate small bowls with lids.

The chef is a person from Liumu, and although the maidservant who delivers the dishes is a palace maid, what is sent at each table is naturally in accordance with Liumu's rules.

Li Yuan reached out to take the small bowl, but Liu Mu blocked it.

Liu Mu actually blocked Li Yuan, this small operation seems ordinary, but it makes the concubines who sit in the first six seats of Li Yuan not even dare to come out, even if Li Yuan is now the emperor, but if you ask who dares to block the emperor, Liu Mu is estimated to be the first person.

But Li Yuan didn't seem to mind at all: "Isn't the one in this small bowl for my father?" ”

In Li Yuan's opinion, there are exactly six more small bowls on the main table, and there are two colors of small bowls, obviously one bowl per person.

Liu Mu said: "Father, this is for women. In the blue bowl, I have discussed with Suzhou, Yangzhou, including Lingnan and other seven states and 61 counties, to make it on a large scale, and set up a guild to grade and ensure quality. ”

"Oh?" Li Yuan opened the small blue bowl and took a look, but he didn't know what it was.

Li Yuan asked, "What is this?" ”

"Father, it is recorded in the "History of the South" that there was a kind of tribute in the Northern Qi Dynasty, called the pressure cell. This thing has five uses. ”

Li Yuan didn't remember that he had seen it in the Southern History, but Wan Guifei reminded him that there was indeed this record.

Li Yuan asked, "What about the four uses?" ”

Yanagi replied: "For pregnant women, taking it before labor can increase the rate of natural delivery and increase the health rate of children. In a second-use woman, the skin becomes smooth and plump, soft and elastic. Three-use old man, delay dementia. Fourth, the body is weak, the true yin is lost, and the house is overworked. ”
