Section 0837 The saint is rewarded
The Golden Guard of the Tang Dynasty Imperial Forest is responsible for protecting the money.
The money they protect does not include copper coins and steel, no matter how full a boatload of copper coins is, it is only 20,000 yuan to press the ship to the waterline, which is not worth guarding the elite veterans of these elites.
They guarded gold, silver, treasures, and other precious goods.
Ordinary people will never have the opportunity to see a frigate full of thirty-six small generals' guns, a fleet equipped with sea maintenance ships and supply ships.
The one in front of you is.
Yanagi naturally knew about this elite fleet, and it was Yanagi's plan to form this fleet.
Using these fleets to transport silver, Willow was not surprised.
What surprised Yanagi was the people who came with the boat.
Qin Qiong actually arrived, and he also took Li Daozong with him, not only them, but Liu Renliang's Beihai Division also came with ten boats, and Liu Renliang also arrived.
Qin Qiong didn't go to the mining area, and he wasn't interested in looking at the silver mine.
Liu Mu took Qin Qiong to Hot Springs, Izumo mainly looked at the lake view, and Dugu Lanruo liked it. Liu Mu didn't feel that the lake was more beautiful than Xizi Lake.
There is a small room here for those who are on leave and above in the middle of the mine. However, Li Xiaocha made a military order to make the output of crude silver reach 600 stone next year, so all the middle and high-level mines have no holidays, and they have been idle since the completion of this place.
Qin Qiong was the first guest.
After entering the hall, Qin Qiong turned to Liu Mu and said, "The saint has a reward." ”
"Reward?" Yanagi didn't react.
Qin Qiong didn't explain, and asked someone to bring over a brocade box and open it in front of the willow wood, inside was a set of porcelain inlaid with silver and silver, which was the style of the Tang Dynasty, and the nobles had gold and silver tableware.
Many celebrities and scholars have written many times, and pure gold and sterling silver are too vulgar and full of copper smell.
Then there was fine porcelain and then inlaid with gold and silver tableware, this process has slowly matured, and began to scale.
After seeing this set of utensils, Liu Mu asked, "How much does the Wing Jun King want?" ”
Liu Mu did not call the eldest brother-in-law, but called the title of Yijun Wang.
Qin Qiong was not surprised, and it was also not surprising that Liu Mu guessed his intention, and said directly: "The sage asked for two hundred stones of silver, and the household department only gave five stones. There is no way to refute the reason of the household department, too few Datang coins are not conducive to the future development of Datang, so silver must be minted into silver coins, so the sage can only find a way here for you. ”
"I look like a piece of silver? Even if I am a piece of silver, I will smash it for more than one stone at most. ”
Liu Mu's tone was also expected by Qin Qiong.
Qin Qiong said: "Let's not talk about Ishimiyama, you have a sum of materials that have not been reported, and I heard that gold and silver alone can fill more than a dozen tankers. ”
After hearing this, Liu Mu shouted at the top of his voice: "Hug the qin." ”
Baoqin quickly appeared in the hall, and before he could stand firmly, he hurriedly explained: "It's none of my business, the gold and silver were told to King Yijun by my master." ”
"It's not about this, it's for you to get me a few pieces of gold and silver."
When Baoqin heard that he was not looking for trouble for himself, he breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and went to get the gold and silver.
Soon, several gold plates and silver plates were placed in front of Qin Qiong.
"Is this gold or silver?" Li Daozong, who was standing aside and watching the excitement, looked disbelieving.
Qin Qiong frowned when he held the silver plate in his hand, saying that it was silver, but he didn't say it. Although Qin Qiong is not a silversmith, he can also see that this piece is a mixture of silver, tin and lead, and the proportion of silver is definitely not more than fifty percent.
"The silver smelting skills of the Japanese people are also too poor." Li Daozong's silver plate was thrown on the table.
Liu Mu then said: "The whole world is the Tang Dynasty, I have killed countless nobles on Wa Island, and the ugly thing to say is that I looted all the wealth of the entire Wa Island." Except for the one that was specially left for Soga Meizi, all the wealth of the entire Wajima is in my hands. ”
"Yes." Qin Qiong nodded slightly.
"There is a cost to this, and I have transported an unknown number of ships and countless meters to the current Fuso people who participated in the uprising just with sackcloth. The rice warehouse of the Westport Shipping Division is empty, and these can not be counted. But the saint couldn't make me unable to settle the bill, and I owed the money to the cooperative merchants of the ship, and I couldn't touch a single penny of the silver of Iwami Ginshan. ”
"Brother, I understand." Qin Qiong patted Liu Mu lightly on the shoulder. Saying a sentence that no one in the world believed would come from Qin Qiong's mouth, Qin Qiong said: "Actually, as long as you deal with the saint's side, this matter can be dealt with." ”
"Ahh Liu Mu was very suspicious that what he was in front of him was a fake Qin Qiong.
Qin Qiong's style is that even if Li Shimin says to let Qin Qiong commit suicide, Qin Qiong will not have a trace of doubt, will not have a trace of hesitation, and will commit suicide immediately.
This would even say that it was enough to deal with Li Shimin, how could Liu Mu believe it.
Li Daozong approached Liu Mu and whispered: "The queen is not in the palace, and the affairs in the palace are temporarily in charge of Wei Guifei." This Wei Guifei thinks that the items of Qiansui are still used in the palace, and she wants to replace them with a new batch. ”
"It's not too much, is there anything else?"
What Liu Mu said is not wrong, most of the tableware and teacups used by the concubines in the palace are indeed left in the former Sui Palace. There are even many patterns and patterns that are not suitable for Datang.
So there's nothing wrong with replacement.
Li Daozong said: "Silver is a material under the control of the household department, and no one is allowed to mine or smelt silver without permission, and this is especially true for gold. After each famous kiln fires a batch of porcelain according to the requirements, the professional craftsman is responsible for the silver, and now the silver has no provenance. ”
"How much silver can be used for this, isn't it enough to give her a cart."
Liu Mu roared as soon as he opened his mouth.
Qin Qiong then spoke: "The queen also chose to travel because of this matter, and it was just a change in the palace." From the province of Shangshu to the tea utensils used in the cabinet, etc., and then proposed legislation according to the different titles and official positions, and the utensils used at home should also be customized, etc., the Ministry of Rites also thought that this proposal was very good, and the sages also thought that it was a ritual law. ”
"And then?" Liu Mu understood in his heart that this was not only to be changed in the palace, but also to change this batch.
Shangshu Province expressed support, but privately thought that it would change slowly. The saint inadvertently opened his mouth to support the immediate change, so ......" Qin Qiong had already made the reason very clear.
Li Shimin promised to replace all of them immediately, but he knew in his heart that such a replacement would cause a huge waste and consume a huge amount of gold, silver, manpower, and material resources in a short period of time.
The household department came up, but they didn't give money.
Li Shimin also needs to give the Ministry of Rites a face, and also give a face to Wei Guifei, who is in charge of harem affairs. After all, what Wei Guifei did was also correct, but she was too anxious.
Therefore, Li Shimin promised to let Qin Qiong come to Liu Mu to ask for silver, and then asked Qin Qiong to tell Liu Mu that he could deal with it.
