After Baoqin mentioned Mogadishu, Liu Mu asked rhetorically: "Is there a coal mine there?" ”

Baoqin replied: "The exploration team has discovered iron ore, coal mines, copper mines, a gold mine and an unidentified gem mine. There is an innumerable amount of timber, all of which are of the highest quality, and the timber cut now will be used for shipbuilding by this time next year. ”

"Then do it, I need a governor."

"Lang Jun, this is only when Chang'an sends someone over, we don't have anyone available, the governor here wants a person who can operate, and he must be ruthless enough. In addition, Mrs. Linger hopes to add two more routes to Mogadishu as a centre. ”

Yanagi turned his judgment: "Madagascar? ”

Baoqin nodded: "Well, there are countless spices there, even the princess thinks that they are very, very important, and there are already craftsmen who are trying to use breadfruit to make wine, so that with Madagascar spices, plus alcohol, the perfume trade in the Mediterranean will get fifteen times more profitable." ”

"Fifteen times!"

This figure is too staggering, and the tenfold huge profit is also due to the huge cultural and industrial class difference between the East and the West.

Fifteen times, Liu Mu remembered that a modern friend in later generations told him that a bottle of French brand-name perfume was sold for 1,000 yuan, and the packaging cost more than 70 yuan, and then the advertising fee, celebrity endorsement, etc. accounted for more than 200, tariffs, consumption taxes, etc. more than 500, and the actual cost was estimated to be less than 50 yuan.

"Very good, tell Ling'er that I support her, and suggest that she work packaging, strive to make the gross profit more than 20 times, and what she earns in her own hands should also be kept at 7 times the cost."

Baoqin shook his head: "Lang Jun, it's better for you to say this yourself, it's a thing to make her happy, and it becomes boring when I pass on the words." ”

Liu Mu was stunned for a moment, if he hadn't reminded himself by holding the qin, he would have ignored it.

With a few embarrassments, Yanagi asked again, "So where is the other route?" ”

"I don't know the name, there is a natural harbor more than 500 miles south of the coastline, where we first saw bison when we passed by, and the guards thought that a small harbor should be built there, and then there must be people willing to go hunting, so that there will be endless beef to eat, and endless cowhides."

"Okay, I'm for it."

Willow will definitely support it, this is the first time that the guards are interested in doing business, even if it is wrong, Willow will also support it. Those who lose money in the future, Liu Mu will subsidize them.

Willow never thought that the hides of African bison were worth much.

Yanagi is wrong about this.

Xie Xing'er made a calculation for the guards, based on the calculation of getting 30,000 cowhides every year, plus beef bones, canned beef, etc., the profit will not be less than 400,000 yuan, which is the net profit in hand.

Because Datang does not allow cattle to be killed easily, there is no beef to eat.

What's more, cowhide is an important military strategic material, so it is a highly profitable job to hunt bison in a controlled manner.

Liu Mu pulled Baoqin into his arms, close to Baoqin's ear and asked, "You personally go and pick reliable people, the mint must be the safest place and the safest person." ”

Baoqin asked rhetorically, "Can you kill people?" ”

"What do you mean?"

"Unskilled craftsmen are all slaves, these people can not be killed." Baoqin asked in more detail.

Liu Mu immediately gave Baoqin a standard: "Let's Datang to convince people with morality, salute first and then soldier." If we can't be moved and don't have a grateful heart, we will kill white-eyed wolves, not people. So you can't kill people. ”

Baoqin didn't react to Liu Mu's words for a long time, wrote it down word for word, and after thinking about it for a while, Baoqin was not good, and covered his head and screamed a few times: "Got it, got it." ”

In fact, Mogadishu was a place where many ideas were already in place when the willows first passed, leaving a small group of pioneers there.

Baoqin did not arrange for someone to go to Mogadishu, but went in person.

Compared to the city of Athens, Baoqin prefers Mogadishu, the scenery here in Athens is not very good, and the cleanliness of the streets is not as good as the countryside around Chang'an.

The most unacceptable thing for Baoqin is that Princess Eileen Sarah of the Frankish Kingdom, a dignified princess, actually ran to the corner of the garden to relieve herself, a princess is still like this, let alone others.

The person sent out to investigate also told Baoqin that there was a smell of urine around the Frankish palace.

However, Constantinople is very clean, and there are large public baths, in Baoqin's opinion, the Romans are quite knowledgeable about etiquette, and the rest are all uncivilized barbarians.

So Baoqin ran away, in the name of safety inspection.

Mogadishu.

When Baoqin came here, the slaves were sent to the camp, each of them had to be washed three times, and then the hygiene standards were imposed for the first five days.

In the slave camps, all the men had shaved heads, and the hair was like pig's bristles, and the Chinese soldiers did not think it necessary to waste soap.

In front of a huge wooden warehouse, a steward who stayed here handed an account book to Baoqin: "Mrs. Qin, this is a treasure house, a huge treasure house. Just us, plus the more than 200 slaves intercepted from the fleet back to the Tang Dynasty, and the 40 Japanese guards detained, this warehouse has been filled in so many days. ”

Baoqin opened his mouth and said: "Frankincense invigorates blood and myrrh disperses blood, both of which can relieve pain, reduce swelling, and build muscles." In the list of wound medicine of the Ministry of War, this is one of the best ingredients for wound medicine, and the Tang Dynasty has always relied on the goods of Persian merchants and Arab merchants, and I don't know how much money has been spent over the years. ”

"What Mrs. Qin said is that the sooner you have your own origin of the original medicine, the sooner you can save these unnecessary money."

The steward motioned to his subordinates to send two incense sticks and light them on the left and right of the hugging qin.

Huqin sniffed it and took a deep breath.

The steward said: "The incense made by a Taoist leader of the Medical Holy Pavilion who was left behind has been found to have the effect of calming the mind and calming the mind, and it has been recorded and sent to the Magical Island in a box, and it will be sent back to Chang'an with the ship to ask the seniors of the Medical Holy Pavilion to screen it again." ”

Good thing, Baoqin picked up a few unlit incense sticks and looked at them.

Baoqin didn't know, in fact, Liu Mu didn't know much about this, and modern research in later generations proved that frankincense and myrrh have very effective anti-depression and anti-anxiety effects.

For devout believers, they can really get rid of the distress in their hearts and find spiritual sustenance by burning incense and worshipping.

It can be said that this is definitely one of the best materials for making incense.

Baoqin only then looked at the account book, the numbers on it are really scary, just such a little manpower, if it is calculated according to the shipping price of Chang'an in a short period of time, the coins exchanged are enough to fully arm a 5,000-person soldier and horse.
