When Liu Renliang saw his own soldiers entering, he immediately ordered:

"The book will order that all the strangers on the island be arrested, and those who resist will be killed. No resistance, no beating, no tying, no injury, property preservation. All wharves are blocked, and the rest of any non-Datang ships are not allowed to leave the port, and all crew members are subject to inspection. Also, seal all the residences, boats, carriages, etc. owned by Su Iling's relatives, and even a piece of paper cannot be lost. ”

"Yes!" The guards clenched their fists and immediately went down to give the order.

After giving the order, Liu Renliang spoke to comfort Liu Rumei: "Madame, don't worry, it's impossible to assassinate your brother, but at the moment, I'm afraid that there is any conspiracy in it, and this must be investigated carefully." Madame went back to rest, and I went to discuss with Pei Gong. ”

Liu Rumei nodded, glanced at the neatly placed human head again, and then turned to leave.

The news of Yanagi's assassination was not deliberately kept secret. When Liu Mu went north to Iwami Yinshan and passed by Xiaoliuqiu, he had already sent someone to Chang'an to deliver a letter.

In Hangzhou City, after knowing the news, the fourth and fifth mothers of the Liu family wrote a total of more than 20 letters and sent them to Chang'an and the direction of the West Surrender City.

Siniang and Wuniang's letters were addressed to all the people they could find who could help.

Among them is Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, their eldest brother-in-law Qin Qiong and second brother-in-law Li Daozong must be indispensable.

Liu Mu didn't know the impact of Siniang and Wuniang's letters, and he would still be looking at the silver mine on Iwami Mountain.

A large amount of ore is being minted, and it is completely manual labor.

In charge of the smeltery, a professional sent by the Ministry of Households, was originally planned to be used only to determine the quality of the ore, but the new plan has made it an important silver smelter.

"Liu Luma, I heard that Huayuan has an iron donkey, which can turn thousands of stones of ore into crushed powder every day."

"Yes, they built the stone crusher." Yanagi didn't plan to hide it, because the steam engine was for the mine.

The household official said: "The ore here is not the same, the best ore is about 25 taels of silver per 100 stone ore, this is the most rich ore that Xia Guan has ever seen, accompanied by copper, zinc, lead, tin, etc., and it is also of extremely high quality." Please forgive the official for talking too much, this ore is pulled back and refined, it is better to refine it here. ”

"Your suggestion is very good, after killing all the people here who will threaten us, we can practice in peace. It's been so long, have you found out how many silver mines there are? ”

"Xia Guan is ashamed, this is indeed a continuous silver mountain, and the number is too large to measure."

Liu Mu asked again: "Yield, tell me the annual output." ”

"This year, Xia Guan guaranteed that the silver will not be less than 300,000 taels. Next year, it will be interesting to see if there will be more manpower here, or a few iron donkeys for the lower officials. ”

Liu Mu remembered that Cui Junsu of the household department told him that Datang's current annual silver was only 40,000 taels.

Liu Mu asked: "I remember Cui Shangshu told me that last year, the household department counted that the national silver production was about 40,000 taels?" ”

"Yes, yes, it's about, it's actually only more than thirty-nine thousand taels."

"Very good, when the output here reaches three million taels per year, this horse will protect you with a positive four-grade, iron donkey, miner or something, you have to learn to figure it out by yourself. I'll only teach you one trick, the crying child has milk to eat, just with today's Chinese New Year's Eve million taels, you can let go of crying. ”

It took a long time for the official of the household department to open his mouth wide before he came back to his senses, and hurriedly bowed: "Xie Liu's horse is instructing." ”

"Go get busy."

"Yes!"

In the evening, Liu Mu grabbed a two-pound piece of silver and returned to the seaside station, where a picturesque area with sea, mountains, waterfalls, and lakes and another garden was under construction.

Here, according to the meaning of willow wood, it is called a resort.

Li Xiaocha heard that Liu Mu was back, and hurriedly greeted him.

"Yours." Liu Mu threw the piece of silver to Li Xiaocha.

Li Xiaocha took it and took a look: "The condition is very poor, what's so special about this?" ”

"The first furnace of rough refining, the first piece of silver, of course, there are many impurities. This piece is commemorative, you find a person with good craftsmanship to press out the scenery of Iwami Mountain and Izumo on this silver block, and then engrave the words and dedicate it to the saint. ”

"Wonderful." Li Xiaocha's eyes lit up: "No wonder you can marry a princess, you are really better than us rough people." ”

Liu Mu rolled his eyes at Li Xiaocha: "Okay, you said that you are a rough person, so how are you prepared for rough work?" ”

"Peace of mind, if there is an accident, I will go to work myself."

"Don't leave one." Yanagi emphasized in a low voice.

Li Xiaocha put away his smile and replied very seriously: "There is no room for failure in this matter, according to the law of the Tang Dynasty, if there is a mistake in this kind of task, it will be demoted at least and the crime will be punished, and I have already explained the benefits and losses to my subordinates." ”

"Yes." Liu Mu nodded heavily.

Li Xiaocha regained a smile on his face, and slapped the piece of silver in his hand twice: "Speaking of this silver, send it back to invite merit and be afraid of leaking secrets?" ”

"I have no money."

"What does this have to do with this piece of silver, where the silver mountain is, let's let go of digging, and silver is money."

Liu Mu shook his head: "It's not what I mean, but I really don't have any money." I have less than 2 million yuan of coins in my hand, but I have a plan that needs at least 5 million yuan, and I have to prepare another million yuan for Huayuan next year. ”

I think 2 million is a huge amount of money, but it is really not much money when it is really used in so many places.

Liu Mu said again: "The entire Wajima Island has been occupied, and countless amounts of money are needed for large-scale development, and these are all just that. But if the Persians want to kill me, there must be an attitude in this matter. This is not my face, this is Datang's face. ”

Li Xiaocha asked puzzledly, "What do you want to do?" ”

Liu Mu replied: "Such a silver ingot, according to a catty, is this kind of miscellaneous silver." Give me at least 1,000 yuan, and then press the scenery of Iwami Silver Mountain, and the words Iwami Mountain, this thousand pieces of silver, I want to get it back from Chang'an......"

Speaking of this, Liu Mu stopped and shook his head: "Don't, this silver mountain estimates that the saint will not agree to let me sell it." I'd better go and fight the copper, gold, and silver mines on Iyo-no-Ni Na Island. Those estimates could easily sell for millions, and then ......"

Liu Mu pressed his forehead and seemed to forget that Li Xiaocha was still here, and walked straight to the waterfall.

Li Xiaocha waved his hand and motioned for his personal guards to escort him in the distance of the willow wood.

Li Xiaocha was not the slightest unhappy about Liu Mu's rude behavior, he thought that Liu Mu seemed to be very idle, but in fact it was extremely hard.

Take fighting as an example, the generals who lead the troops to kill the battle are very hard, and they are very tired every day.

But the marshal is even more tired, this brain-using work is very tiring, especially with such a big plan.
