After the Pure Land asked about the quality.

Yuangai Suwen replied: "The quality is not mentioned, only that the 100 people who will be transported to Quanzhou will be sent over in a short time, and then the detailed price will be discussed." Or arrange another way, which is an auction. ”

The Pure Land of the Yuan was puzzled: "What is an auction?" ”

"Auction is a bidding method in Chang'an, when there is only one treasure of a kind, the highest price wins. I can't agree to this way, the beneficiary can only be the Persian merchant, so I hope that a hundred people per ship will say a standard price, and the auction can be held, and the beneficiary can only be me. ”

Yuan Pure Land asked again: "What did Tang Liu's horse do in Pingcheng?" ”

Yuangai Suwen replied: "As far as the person we arranged observed, the account book was sent over at the dock yesterday evening, and he should have come to check the accounts." There is also news that he is sending people to inspect the shops of Tang merchants, and it seems that the Tang court has established a rule that some goods are not allowed to be sold outside Chang'an. ”

"Is there anything that is not allowed to be sold outside of Chang'an?"

"The steel crossbow is the news obtained by the people we sent to investigate, and the rest is unknown for the time being."

Tang Jinggang crossbow, this weapon Yuan family has one, it was obtained from Yanzhou at a very high price, although it is a damaged one, but the steel arrow it barely shoots is still amazingly powerful.

Yuangai Suwen believed that the steel crossbow used by the real elite Tang Army was definitely a sharp weapon on the battlefield.

"We have to find a way to get some Tang elite ordnance instead of ordinary ordnance."

"It's more troublesome, but you're right, we have to find a way to do it, even if there are only one or two pieces, we can also let the good craftsman imitate it." Yuangai Suwen believes that he will first get closer to the Tang Dynasty, and then slowly get some real weapons of the Tang people.

What Yuangai Suwen didn't know was that Liu Mu came here to check the accounts at all, and there were only two goals.

Big goals vs. small goals.

The big goal is to get these guards to change their clothes and then arrange food.

The small target was the goods that the Persians had brought here, and this business Liu Mu cared about.

Yang Luo stood beside Liu Mu: "Donkey, the costume change has been completed." Ten lieutenants in Laiju have begun training Goguryeo sergeants. ”

Liu Mu asked Yang Luo, "Do you know why you did this?" ”

"Horses, the lower officials thought it was a test to test the loyalty of these Goguryeo soldiers to Goguryeo. Under the bright armor and better food, how much will their hearts be shaken. ”

"Yes."

Yang Luo said again: "Why only one meal is arranged, it is to let them compare the difference between the two meals." ”

Yanagi asked, "So what should be done next?" ”

"I will send someone to spread some news, and it is estimated that in about three months, the Goguryeo people are likely to arrange a change of guard. Another group of guards will come over, and when the time comes, the lower officials will arrange for people to carefully observe some subtle changes. ”

Yanagi shook his head: "No, don't let the Goguryeo people feel that we have any temptation. ”

Yang Luo thought for a moment and replied: "No, it is harder to be a guard for Tang Fang than the ordinary city guards in Pingcheng, we require standing, walking, formation, and neatness of clothes, etc." ”

"Think again, pay attention to the details, the details determine success or failure." Yanagi reminded him and said, "Don't let the Goguryeo people doubt you. ”

"The subordinate officials understand that the subordinate officials will consult with the staff a lot, and would rather not do it than make a mistake."

"Yes, this is Goguryeo, and the consequences of making a mistake are extremely serious, and it is right to do it rather not do it than make a mistake." Liu Mu put a small piece of bamboo on the table: "This is your identity, you can discuss more with Wenyue Pavilion, they have more business." ”

"Yes." Yang Luo took the small piece of bamboo with both hands.

It looks like a piece of bamboo, but it feels cold when you start it, and it's a piece of iron, and it looks like a piece of bamboo.

Yang Luo was just an ordinary civil official, and being able to cooperate with Wenyue Pavilion made him more confident in controlling Tang Fang.

After Yang Luo left, Baoqin appeared next to Liumu, and Liumu said to Baoqin: "What I want to know is how many Goguryeo people will think in the face of Goguryeo's annihilation. Fight to the death, or if you can have a better life, you will descend to my Datang, this matter is not in a hurry, Yang Luo has a good saying, I would rather not do it than make a mistake. ”

"Well, I will give an explanation to the people of Wenyue Pavilion."

"It's not too late to come to a conclusion in three or five years, and this matter will take its time. Also, tell me about the people of Wenyue Pavilion, if the Xiao family really plans to invest in a porcelain workshop here, you let Wenyue Pavilion secretly make a contribution. This matter will make the Xiao family come up with a corresponding thank you gift afterwards. ”

Baoqin nodded in understanding.

Liu Mu left Pingcheng in the evening of the same day, and it was very satisfying to see Tang Fang with his own eyes.

Then Liu Mu went to Beisha City and Juqishan City, but they only stayed for one day.

After returning to Jiangnan, after staying with his son for two days, he left Xiao Ling'er behind, took Xie Xing'er on the boat and went all the way south to the country of a thousand islands.

After Liu Mu left, Xiao Linger took Liu Lin back to her parents' house.

The Xiao clan set up a big banquet, and the banquet invited more than 40 large families and thousands of people.

In addition to the famous families in the south of the Yangtze River, there are also six big merchants.

The elder of the Xiao clan led a total of fifty people into the back hall.

"Guys, please look at this data."

Everyone had an extra document in their hand, on which was written the income of the Goguryeo porcelain maker, the price of Goguryeo kaolin, coal and other materials, and so on.

Someone looked through the information and asked, "So, how much is the tax in Goguryeo?" ”

"There is no tax, the tax in Goguryeo is very unreasonable, our population is calculated by household, they are knotted, 200 stone is a knot, to put it simply, it is grain production. The rest did not collect taxes, and the great nobles lived on the income of the lords, and no matter where the handicraft was, they did not have to pay taxes, and Goguryeo did not have a relevant department to collect taxes. ”

The Goguryeo system was no secret to the upper nobles of the Tang Dynasty.

As early as the pre-Sui period, these people studied Goguryeo thoroughly.

"Liu Juma has a letter to the old man. The content of the letter is, let the Yuan family miss this cooperation, let's cooperate with the Gao family, so after the Gao family gets a huge profit, what should the Yuan family do? ”

Immediately after the elder of the Xiao clan finished speaking, a big businessman asked to speak.

The elder of the Xiao clan said loudly: "If you can sit here today, whoever wants to say anything can do it, it doesn't matter if you say it wrong, as long as it's not vexatious, everything is okay." ”

The big merchant saluted and said, "Why don't you contact a few more, it will be enough to fight against the Yuan clan in the future." ”

"Do you think the Yuan clan will make a move when they see the Gao clan making money?"

"Definitely, the Goguryeo I know is now covered with one hand by the Yuan clan."

"That's why we chose Gao. Our interests will not be damaged, and there is Datang behind us. So it can only be the Yuan clan that robbed the Gao clan's part, and then we continued to do our business. But the other nobles of Goguryeo could not sleep well, and the overbearing Yuan clan would make people afraid. ”
