The Tang officials on Purple Island were laughing, and their hard work had finally seen results. I think that the results of this time will be sent to Chang'an soon, and Chang'an City will have a reward sent to Wadao.

Of course, the village chiefs and important people in the village who came to deliver goods from each village were happy.

A great harvest that represents a life of abundance.

Soon, the officials of Kumamoto City used a seal on the official price list, and as a witness, Dugu Lanruo used the seal, and several family elders also used the seal, representing them to verify and recognize the validity of this price list.

"Loading ......," shouted from the dock, and the dock workers rushed to begin loading bags of silkworm cocoons from the warehouse onto carts and then onto ships. There are countless silk mills in Jiangnan that are waiting for this batch of raw silk, and when the raw silk arrives, it is when many new silk mills in Jiangnan are in full swing.

When bags of raw silk were loaded onto the ship, someone suddenly shouted: "Open the warehouse, receive the reward......"

Kumamoto's large warehouse has long been filled with countless supplies transported from Datang.

The villages of Tsukushi Island are not very enthusiastic about coins, which they think are valuable at home, but in fact they are useless.

In addition to the village public funds and the village chief's family, even ordinary Tang villagers do not need coins very much.

Coins do not even account for 10% of the total amount of payment.

A large amount of food, cloth, daily necessities, etc., are clearly marked with prices, saying that they are bought with coins, but each village is exchanged for the amount of the payment.

At this time, Yanagi came to Okura, and Li Daoyan walked with Yanagi.

"Two things, the first one is in the villages of Chikushi Island, select the best ten villages, and add a reward. Then, among the ten excellent villages, I can recommend a household to become the new village head, and I will meet people in ten days. ”

Li Daoyan shouted beside him: "Have you heard it clearly, after you hear it clearly, you will hurry up and do it." ”

That's the good thing about the big officials, they just say what they want, and then a lot of people do it.

After saying this, Liu Mu came to the area where the nobles were resting, and the nobles who came from the Tang Dynasty can basically represent seventy percent of the Tang Dynasty aristocratic group.

"Everyone, I heard that there are some small problems with the raw silk in Jiangnan West Road."

Liu Mu also just learned about this news, and heard it from Li Daoyan, Li Daoyan, as the general manager of Kumamoto, in addition to protecting the safety here, he is more concerned about whether the raw silk of Zhuzi Island can make money, so he arranged for someone to keep an eye on the raw silk market in the Jiangnan area.

Xie Jia Xie Yan did not avoid this topic: "The silkworm is a small thing, the weather is too hot and does not spin silk, but suddenly it is cold again and does not wait for silk, or it stiffens after a few mouthfuls, which has a great impact on the yield." ”

"The truth is true, but the decline in production in Jiangnan West Province has little to do with this, and this cannot be said alone." At the moment, some people stood up against it: "There are many silk mills that are purchased, and many places have increased silkworm houses at will, and silkworm houses are not well built, and these are not real silkworm houses." ”

Liu Mu smiled and asked, "Man-made disaster?" ”

Xie Yan also nodded: "It's a man-made disaster, and the losses in Xiangzhou this time are particularly serious." The most helpless thing is that if there are not enough mulberry leaves, old leaves and rotten leaves will be used instead. In order to take the leaves, the mulberry tree is injured, and the leaves will definitely not be much, which will be affected even in autumn. Xiangzhou Yin has been questioned, and nearly 40 officials are waiting to be investigated. ”

"Stupid officials hurt people."

"Whose family is that official......

A group of nobles scolded angrily, although this matter was caused by the loss of the people, the hearts of all ethnic groups were not comfortable, the nobles of the Tang Dynasty were not cold-blooded vampires, they coexisted with the people and tenant farmers. There is a connection of both prosperity and loss.

Liu Mu interrupted the topic: "Uncles and grandfathers. ”

Liu Mu didn't want to mention this matter, but another matter: "I discussed with Manager Li just now, and the cost of the silkworm cocoon on Tsukushi Island can already be calculated. So I had a little idea. ”

"Don't talk about ideas, just talk about decisions." Cui Yuan expressed on behalf of others.

"Okay, let's make a decision. On behalf of the general manager, I am ready to start selling summer cocoons. ”

Looking at the smile on Liu Mu's face, the nobles were puzzled. If another person would say this, it is estimated that it has been spit on the face, this spring silkworm is still being harvested, you have to sell the summer silkworm, so where is the silkworm cocoon?

In Datang, the north harvests two seasons of silkworms a year, and the south of the Yangtze River can reach three seasons.

On this side of Wajima, an old silkworm farmer proposed to try the four seasons, that is, to increase the late autumn season from spring, summer, and autumn silkworms. It becomes early autumn and late autumn, and the climate here can increase this season.

But to increase this season, what is needed is not silkworm paper, but mulberry trees, and it was originally thought that Tsuki Purple Island was to harvest silkworms twice a year, but now it has become four seasons, so it is necessary to multiply mulberry trees.

Increasing mulberry trees requires a lot of money.

Liu Mu said again: "Xia silkworm, thirty-one yuan per catty, now pay the money and just come over and pull the silkworm cocoon." And the deed allows for transfer. ”

"How is this a way to transfer?"

The nobles couldn't figure out what Yanagi wanted to do.

Liu Mu said very directly: "To tell the truth, Kumamoto Castle has no money, and the money earned by selling raw silk is definitely not enough to expand the cultivation and development, and it is not convenient to transfer money from the Donggang Shipping Division. ”

"You, go on."

"Okay, since the elders are interested in listening, then I'll talk about it again."

Liu Mu sat down and said: "This thirty-one pennies are a catty, but I paid the money first but didn't get the cocoon, and I only got a contract." I said that this contract is allowed to be transferred, and the money will be paid today, so if you regret it after a month, what if you don't want to pre-order this batch of cocoons? ”

didn't speak, they all listened carefully to Liu Mu.

Liu Mu smiled: "A month later, the contract in my hand will be sold for thirty-two yuan, will anyone buy it?" ”

"This ......"

Liu Mu's words aroused the thinking and discussion of the nobles, and it seemed that adding a penny was not much, and someone would definitely buy it.

Liu Mu said again: "Then, someone found in Chikushi Island that the summer silkworms are growing very well, and the mulberry forest is growing well. The old silk farmer can deduce the predicted grade of raw silk in a silkworm house based on various premonitions. ”

"Yes, so can the old man." Xie Yan stood up and supported Liu Mu's statement.

"Well, can this news make this contract rise by another two pennies a catty, our contract only talks about silkworm cocoons, buy them according to the village package, no matter what grade they are. So is this news worth two pennies? ”

Hiss......

It's a very interesting way to play, and some people have realized that this is more interesting than selling raw silk, and even the goods are not transported, and what is sold is the contract.
