"Wow......" Yanagi's eyes widened, it was a box of thirty-six super large pearls with a diameter of more than one and a half centimeters. Not to mention that this thing is in the Tang Dynasty, it is at the treasure level in the modern era of later generations.

"Wow......" Liu Mu's eyes widened exaggeratedly for the second time, this is a piece of high-grade bloodstone.

The boxes were opened one by one, and Liu Mu made a sound again and again, and when the tenth box was opened, Liu Mu did not shout, but stared straight at the stone,

There is a lot of green on this stone like a cloud dragon, and the willow wood has never gambled on the stone, nor has he seen the real jade rough with his own eyes, but this piece of willow wood feels like that.

The old man of the Xian clan said: "This is a strange stone from Mengshe's edict, like a dragon in the clouds, or not precious, but strange. ”

"No, this piece may be extremely precious, and there are extremely precious treasures hidden in it." The willow wood touched the stone, the surface was smooth, and it was evident that the water had washed away the outer skin for countless years.

"Thank you for your gifts. Have a seat. ”

Liu Mu accepted the gift, Feng Ang continued to taste his tea, he didn't let Liu Mu see these people because he knew what these people wanted, since Liu Mu accepted the gift, then let Liu Mu face it.

After sitting down, the elder of the Ning clan spoke first: "I heard that the willow horse went north to Youzhou, this wool seems useless, but the willow horse has a bit of a stone into gold. ”

"Ahh Let's not talk nonsense, you are all elders, simply and directly, what you mean is that we work together and earn a lot of coins, isn't that what it means. ”

Liu Mu said it too directly, so that the six didn't know how to answer for a while.

Feng Ang put down the teacup at this time: "That's what it means, you are direct, but let my six uncles know how to deal with it, you are really an interesting person." A few days later, in front of my grandmother's ancestral hall, you and I became brothers. Since it's our own family, let's not talk nonsense about a word, just say it. ”

"I just had an idea, let's set up a business, and it's called Westport."

"And then?"

"There must be people who trade in this Westport, and there must be people who protect people who can cut people. To take the simplest example, the surname Wen is very crazy, let's turn all the surname Wen and the support of the surname Wen into slaves, so there are many people in Jiaozhi who have become very obedient, these obedient people go to work, and we let some people earn money first to become rich. ”

Feng Ang was confused when he heard it: "This is a matter of war, what does it have to do with the business?" ”

"No, it's the firm's escort to fight against the people who influence the firm's business, and the escort can pay to hire thugs, or they can pay you to hire you...... Army. Then let's sit in a stable place and sit in business. ”

Liu Mu spoke for two hours.

All of these plans can be traced to the entire process and style of the later East India Company in its mature stage.

The six old men and Feng Ang almost bowed down when they heard this.

It's no wonder that Liu Mu was able to have a say in the court before the crown, and this method is unpredictable.

"How's that, how is this?" Willow finally stopped, pouring his tea.

The paper used for recording here is already more than a foot thick, and several clan elders can't imagine that Liu Mu hasn't read a book, and he has such a complex and complete set of rules and methods in his head.

"My idea, plus my trade routes, and my three thousand sets of armor, I want twenty percent. Brother, you send 3,000 soldiers, and if you give some money and food, it will also account for 20%. The other six tribes each account for 10%. Then 20% of the profit deducts all the expenses and hands it over to the Tang Emperor, which is called royalties. Of course, in case of trouble, Datang is behind it. ”

Feng Ang and the other seven people discussed, and the final result was that one of the four would be returned to the Tang Emperor, and then no more taxes would be collected from them. Feng Ang thought clearly, it was good to enjoy the shade with his back against the big tree, and it was not good to look at it if there were too few handed over to the imperial court.

What's more, the number five is not very auspicious in Datang. For example, the Dragon Boat Festival is to write five as the word noon.

Therefore, Feng Ang would rather stay less and return one of the four to the Tang Emperor.

The six major clans each took 3,000 yuan, each sent 500 clansmen, and Liu Mu added another 100 gold coins of one tael to establish the Xigang Firm.

Feng Ang didn't let his son lead the team, he personally led the troops south.

Su Dingfang couldn't sit still: "Lang Jun, we don't need to fight this war, they all have some opinions." ”

"There's no military merit after this fight, what's the point."

"It doesn't matter if you have military merits or not, this training has been almost a year, and it has been thousands of miles from Chang'an to here, and the knife has never been unsheathed and it is too embarrassing to go back." Su Dingfang represents the will of all soldiers going south.

Liu Mu thought for a while: "Okay, draw lots, leave five hundred people here, and then you go to fight." This time, there is a small rule, don't forget that loot is allowed. ”

Su Dingfang left five hundred of the most elite, and then took the rest of the people to follow Feng Ang to the south.

Feng Ang was also very happy, and according to the rules of the firm, he gave Su Dingfang a capitation fee, a mercenary fee of 30 yuan per person per day for 5,000 people, a reward for combat merits, and a double amount of money for officers who were one level higher.

All the soldiers who went out on the expedition were paid according to the mercenaries.

Feng Ang believed in Liu Mu's calculations, which was not much money compared to what they earned, so it was also quite generous to the soldiers.

Feng Ang gave his soldiers twenty-five cents per person per day, and he had military merits in the war, etc., and then calculated the reward money. Fifty percent of the booty went to the sergeants themselves, and the slaves had a marked purchase price.

It can be said that Feng An's rules for the Westport firm are 100% implemented according to the plan that Liu Mu thought of temporarily.

Good or bad, after a period of implementation, it's not too late to change.

The city of Guangzhou was quiet all of a sudden, and many merchants began to run south, all of them arrived at Yangjiang City, where Feng Ang was the stronghold, and they were waiting for the results, waiting for the Xigang firm to officially release their business positions, and they heard that there was a lot of business to do.

Liu Mu sent Cui Yiye, Gao Cheng, and Dou Shikuan to the shipyard, where there were countless timbers and countless craftsmen, and I believed that in three or four months, the ghost worker brought by Liu Mu would be able to bring people to build a few new ships.

Willow's Guangzhou garden, Willow is also very busy.

From morning to night, Liu Mu sat in the back garden and instructed the two craftsmen to give him a grinding stone to grind the green-veined cloud dragon stone.

"It's been three days." Dugu Lanruo drank the bitter yellow lotus water, and looked at her tongue in the mirror, her tongue was still very painful.

Baoqin is worse than Dugu Lanruo, there are many blisters in her mouth, and she can't even drink hot water in pain.

"Gluttony, it's all gluttony." Dugu Lanruo sighed in self-pity.

Huqin covered her mouth and didn't speak, she hadn't spoken for two days, and her mouth hurt.

After eating 500 lychees in one go, she just had a bubble in her mouth that was already very light.

"What is Lang Jun doing?" Dugu Lanruo asked again.
