The raw silk industry was separated from the Donggang shipping company, and Liu Mu had no clue.

There are many splits, combinations, joint ventures, and so on on the TV news in later generations, but how can ordinary people know the details of the manipulation.

Therefore, Liu Mu can only rely on Jiang Ke and others to come up with a plan after research.

When it was almost noon, when Liu Mu was about to eat lunch, Cheng Yanjin came to Liu Mu, pulled out a chair and sat next to Liu Mu, and said to the maid beside Liu Mu: "According to your family's Langjun's meal, there will be two more servings." ”

A maid left, Lao Cheng glanced at the maid who was still left behind and said, "Go get a bottle of light wine." ”

And the servant girl went out.

Liu Mu smiled in his heart, but his face was extremely serious: "Brother Cheng, what is the urgent military situation?" ”

Cheng Yanjin also had a serious face: "Yesterday evening, what did you say to those two golden retrievers?" ”

"This one!" Yanagi turned his head and smiled secretly.

"Huh. Lao Cheng has benefits, I didn't think about you that time, the coolies are all done by Lao Cheng. Cheng Yanjin immediately changed his face and approached Liu Mu with a smile.

Liu Mu then said: "I said, if the two of them make you unable to get out of bed today, they will be rewarded with a silk horse each." ”

Cheng Yanjin asked in a low voice, "Where did you find these two?" ”

"It has nothing to do with me, Guo Xiaoke went to Eastern Rome. It was the spoils of the Eastern Roman war. And then he really didn't know what to buy over there, and when he came back, he had two hundred people on the empty ship. ”

"Two hundred?" Cheng Yanjin stretched out two fingers.

"Yes!" Liu Mu nodded heavily.

Cheng Biting Jin laughed and slapped Liu Mu on the shoulder: "You are still kind, brother, you always think about my brother when there are good things." Ask, how many of these people do you have left? ”

Liu Mu replied truthfully: "Ninety-eight, ninety people are in Hangzhou, and eight are on the ship." ”

"How do you arrange these eight people?"

"Two per person, of course."

"Everyone?"

Liu Mu nodded: "Although Pei Gong is older, this matter is a matter of face, anyway, my mother-in-law said so." Then it is not easy for Li Daoyan to have it, and it is not easy for Li Xiaocha to guard the silver mine. The only thing that makes me entangled is Liu Renliang, I'm afraid that my Sanniang will be unhappy and turn around and yell at me. ”

Cheng Yanjin was puzzled: "Why don't you bring more people?" ”

"These ten people are learning our Chinese on the boat, at least they can barely understand some simple ones, and the rest are still learning if they don't understand them."

After hearing this, Cheng Yanjin stretched out his hand and put it on Liu Mu's shoulder: "Look at it." It's no problem for Lao Pei to send it over first, Li Daoyan can also give it to him first, since you are worried about your Sanniang yelling at you, then Zhengzheng will delay it for a few days, and Li Xiaocha's old brother will talk about it and let him wait for a few more days. ”

"I don't understand."

"I don't understand anything, teach my brother what you said yesterday, you are too stingy to reward one silk horse, and my brother will reward each of them with ten horses. Damn, Lao Cheng wants to make everyone unable to get out of bed, so I don't have to look back and know what little things to laugh at my brother, so that's it. ”

Liu Mu laughed, but Cheng Biting Jin had a black face: "You just say okay, or no." ”

"Okay, okay, okay." Liu Mu said three lines in a row and then said: "Old Brother Cheng, the most ordinary silk is now half the weight of gold in Eastern Rome. You probably don't know yet, they changed to a good horse, the horse itself weighs more than eighteen stones, can pull a hundred stones, this kind of high-quality horse. ”

"So powerful?" Cheng Yanjin was taken aback.

"How much does Brother Cheng think this horse is worth in our Chang'an?"

"It's not much." Cheng Yanjin's own horse is worth more than 200 yuan, and it is not a very purebred sweat and blood horse. Liu Mu's purebred sweat and blood BMW Chang'an aristocracy is valued at five hundred yuan.

Liu Mu said to Cheng Yanjin: "In Eastern Rome, such a horse is worth a hundred taels of gold, or...... Three horses of medium and fine silk. ”

Hearing that this price was good, Cheng Yanjin exclaimed: "Ah! ”

In an instant, Cheng Biting Jin understood why the lethality of Liu Mu's silk reward was so terrifying.

The silk rewarded by Liu Mu is considered medium silk, and the market price in Chang'an is about 1,300 Wen. This little reward is not money in Cheng Yanjin's eyes.

As soon as Liu Mu touched his sleeve, a small deerskin bag was taken out.

Cheng Biting Jin opened it and saw that it was a bag of small pearls.

It is said to be a small pearl, but it is also a pearl with a diameter of four to five millimeters, and it is also a big pearl in the eyes of ordinary people in modern times.

"What do you mean?" Cheng Yanjin knew the pearl, but he didn't understand the meaning of willow.

"In Eastern Rome, this thing has also been enacted, nobles from low to high, what size and color can be worn, the rules are very strict, this mistake is not lighter than our officials wearing the wrong color. This thing is useless to have money in Eastern Rome, and it has to have status, silk or something. ”

Cheng Yanjin understood, and laughed: "Don't worry about this, I will never tell Shubao to know." ”

Cheng Biting Jin accepted the pearls, silk or something, he took away the eight female slaves from Eastern Rome on the willow boat that day, and took the time to study some ancient Greek seriously.

Learning the language Cheng bites the gold is not good, and Liu Mu will use a stupid method in later generations.

One line of Greek text, another line of Chinese pronunciation, and another line of Greek word explanation of meaning. Lao Cheng at least read it, and some words can be said and probably understood.

After lunch, Liu Mu pulled Cheng Yanjin to prevent him from leaving.

Cheng Yanjin followed Liu Mu out to sea, less than a hundred miles north of Fukuoka Castle, on a small island that didn't even have a name, Zhang Zhongjian also came here secretly.

After the three of them landed on the island, except for the two guards beside Liu Mu, the rest of them all took a small boat back to the big ship and waited.

There was a small wooden house, and two guards pulled out a Japanese nobleman who had apparently lived here for a long time.

"What kind of person is this, and you want to get him here to kill him?" Cheng Yanjin said this with a smile.

Yanagi didn't answer, but motioned to wait.

What are you waiting for?

Liu Mu didn't explain, Cheng Yanjin and Zhang Zhongjian didn't ask, Liu Mu was able to find them on purpose, and there was no route around here, and there would be no ships passing by, only people who knew this place would approach or go to the island.

After about half an hour, the Japanese nobleman began to appear irritable and angry.

The two guards beside Yanagi pressed the Japanese nobleman with long sticks, and after another quarter of an hour, the Japanese nobleman began to tremble, and then sweated.

In another quarter of an hour, the nobleman wanted to pounce on the willow.

The two of Yanagi's guards were about to fight, but Yanagi just signaled to be subdued.

Zhang Zhongjian saw the strangeness and asked, "Is he poisoned?" ”
