About that horn bow. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Dugu Shura specially talked with the archer, and the craftsman thought that if this bow wanted to be good, it would take at least half a year to make it perfect, and just one month was not enough to complete the gluing and shaping of this bow.

And not only that, but it also needs to be pressed in the mold for a year, and then trimmed after the cold winter and heat before it can be used.

Datang is now not allowed to kill cattle.

Cattle that die of old age or die unexpectedly must be reported to the government, and then the cowhide is handed in, and the cow bones are disposed of by themselves, and the horns are basically made into combs, and the horn combs of the Tang Dynasty are quite exquisitely made.

Dugu Shura has already arranged for his cronies to collect bull horns everywhere, and it must be a complete pair of buffalo horns.

But wanting to equip a battalion with a new bow, some waited.

The next afternoon.

Yanagi sat alone in the shade of a tree in front of the temple, with a teacup in his hand.

Brother Pak arrived and came here alone.

Today, Brother Park deliberately changed into a Hanfu, because he knew that this Tao looked ordinary, but it was a place where Princess Changping of the Tang Dynasty was retreating, so in order to show respect, he wore a Hanfu and came here.

After saluting each other, Liu Mu asked Brother Park to sit on the rattan chair that had been prepared under the tree.

"Yesterday's gaffe, please forgive me for the rudeness."

"You're drunk too fast, that's why you're drunk. However, if you rest peacefully for the night, you should be in a good mood. "When Liu Mu spoke, he poured tea for Brother Park, Liu Mu's spring tea." This tea was planted by the princess, and I picked it with the princess. ”

Brother Park quickly got up, and after giving another salute, he held the crystal glass with both hands.

This one was far inferior to the willow one in the eyes of the craftsmen, because this one was only flawed, so it was decorated with a gilded pattern to hide the flaws.

"Regarding the Sixth Prince Yuanjing and the princess of your country, Jin Shengman, I have asked the sage for instructions, and the sage's opinion is feasible. But I thought about it again, and now let outsiders know if it will cause a huge pressure on Silla. ”

"The nobles thought thoughtfully, Silla confronted Goguryeo on the border, and Baekje wavered again." The sorrow on Brother Park's face is not a fake.

Yanagi asked, "I don't know much about state affairs, and I don't know much about this Baekje." ”

Doesn't Yanagi understand state affairs?

Brother Pu Tai didn't believe it, and the current saints of the Tang Dynasty handed over many important powers to the clan. Many of the generals who led the troops were members of the Li royal family, and the largest military power was in the hands of the current King of Qin, and the generals of the clan were also responsible for guarding several key places.

For example, Li Xiaogong, who temporarily managed Jiangnan, Pingyang Zhao's princess Chai Shao in the north, Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng, and so on.

But Brother Park couldn't ask if Liu Mu understood state affairs, so he just explained: "The peninsula is now like the late Han Dynasty in the Central Plains, and Goguryeo has a unified heart. The people of Baekje are greedy, they cannot be trusted. And I, Silla, think that the peninsula becoming a country is not a good thing for the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Well, don't talk about state affairs." Yanagi dodged the topic.

Don't talk about state affairs, Brother Park seems to understand, Datang is not in contact with Silla with an official attitude.

But Yanagi then asked, "How many people are there in Baekje?" ”

"The year before last, we heard about 150,000 households, 220,000 in Silla, and nearly 900,000 in Goguryeo. However, due to the three conquests of the former Sui, there were few men and insufficient soldiers, which allowed me to barely support Silla. ”

Yanagi just asked Baekje, but Brother Park took advantage of this topic to talk about all the three countries of the peninsula.

"Forty thousand, do I ask for more?" Yanagi knows that there are 220,000 households, that is, the population is less than one million.

"Not much, if you are willing to ask for some Goguryeo people, you can send another 40,000 people to the country next year." Brother Park said confidently.

Yanagi straightened up and leaned closer and asked, "Won't it cause a war?" ”

"No, Goguryeo's fugitives are very serious at the moment, and they have collected too much. We only need to pay a small price to buy the fugitive slaves who are going to be executed......" Brother Park said and stopped at this point.

He has already shown his sincerity, and then he is waiting for Yanagi to show his sincerity.

Liu Mu slowly put down the teacup: "Big brother, please." ”

"Your Excellency, please." The title of Brother Park is also well thought out.

Liu Mu took Brother Pu Tai into the Taoist temple, and it was in the side room in the front yard, where there were tables prepared by Liu Mu. Yanagi picked up the first item, a piece of cloth.

"Winters in Silla are also extremely cold, and this is an outerwear material, which is cheaper than silk, and the ready-to-wear is very straight. Ideal for high-level guards. After Liu Mu finished speaking, he walked to the corner of the room and opened a curtain, which contained a mannequin made of wood, wearing a tweed jacket.

Yanagi unbuttoned the model's coat: "This is an ordinary sweater, knitted, and a linen coat is worn underneath. This requires only ...... for a set of clothes. Liu Mu stopped, and did not say how much it was worth, but went to the small cabinet next to him and took out a small bamboo tube with some dried kelp in it.

"More than two feet in length, complete and beautiful with one stone. The length is one foot, and there is no slag on one stone. Crushed kelp for two stones, you can change into a complete set of clothes inside and outside. Of course, you're not interested in ready-to-wear, so let's talk about the prices of these fabrics. ”

Brother Park regretted not bringing a few brave and capable attachés.

Liu Mu spoke casually, everything seemed to be imprinted in Liu Mu's head.

Finally, Brother Park's head began to hurt: "May I ask if you have paper and pen here." ”

"There's this." Yanagi placed the list on the table, which had been prepared long ago.

Brother Park was already a little presbyopia, and he couldn't read the small words that Liu Mu wrote with a pencil. At this time, Liu Mu took out four pairs of reading glasses and asked Brother Park to choose the right degree to wear them.

For half an hour, Brother Park's eyes did not leave the list of less than 2,000 words and a total of 16 pages.

"Honorable, there are seven kinds of ginseng on this alone, and none of the six are available to us in Silla. There are also 175 kinds of medicinal materials, and the subordinates don't know much about medicinal materials, but I feel that most of them are not owned by my Silla. ”

"Anything else?" Yanagi asked.

"Also, some of the fish ministers have never heard of this. In particular, toad oil is a specialty only found in Northern Goguryeo. ”

"Don't worry, let's sit down and talk slowly, please!" Liu Mu took Brother Pu Tai to the tree outside the view, and boiled the water again to make tea, but after the hot water, Liu Mu asked, "Do you like this cup?" ”

"I don't dare to ask for such precious things." Brother Park took the cup handed over by Liu Mu with both hands.

Liu Mu smiled faintly.

This smile made Brother Park incomprehensible.
