Romeo's heart fluctuated violently, he didn't even know who the person in front of him was, the only one he knew was a duke from the mysterious eastern country.

"Give you a little more confidence." Willow snapped his fingers, and after the guards blew a long whistle outside, a small boat was pulled out of the bay by a rope.

Romeo couldn't see clearly, and after Willow gave Romeo a telescope, Romeo saw the woman tied up on the boat, and it took him a long time to say, "It feels familiar, but I don't remember who it is." ”

"Your wife who doesn't come home for 12 months a year."

"Ahh Romeo couldn't remember how long it had been since he had seen his wife, as if he had been since his exile in Ceuta.

Yanagi gave Romeo a signal salute and motioned for him to light the fire.

Romeo didn't quite understand, but did as Willow meant.

Romeo couldn't believe his eyes when a flare shot into the sky, arrows flew like locusts in all directions, not a single arrow fell into the water, and hundreds of arrows were all shot at people.

A cup of tea passed, and Romeo almost threw up.

Liu Mu patted Romeo on the shoulder: "You can go and report the disappearance, and when your gold coins fill a room, I believe that there will be a miracle in your life." Of course, you can also experience that feeling, gorgeous, can't you? Yanagi pointed to the man who had been shot into a hedgehog at sea.

"Within three months, I promise you a hundred boatloads of bark to Ceuta."

"Wrong." Yanagi shook his head slightly.

At this moment an old man appeared in the curtain, Romeo's faithful old butler, the only one who accompanied him to Ceuta, dressed in fine silk and holding a tray in his hand, which also contained a suit of clothes.

"Master, it's time for you to change your clothes."

"You ......" Romeo didn't doubt the old butler's loyalty, but wondered what was going on at this moment.

The old butler spoke again: "There are 5,000 acres of land in the port of Tunis, which was specially set aside by the Roman emperor as a special tax area, and enjoys special tax benefits. His Majesty the King sold Melilla to the honorable Princess Changping, my lord you, and was elevated to the Earl, the Double Count, as the first governor of Melilla. ”

"Two Counts."

"The county uncle of the Tang Empire. I don't understand the titles of the Tang Empire, but the counts of the Great Empire, as honorable as the Roman Empire, were equivalent to marquis in the Visigothic royal family. I have sent an invitation to you, on behalf of the Earl, that hundreds of merchants will visit you in Melilla and purchase ships from you. ”

"Ships?" Romeo was completely confused.

The old butler said, "My opinion, Earl, is that you go with me to change your clothes first, and later your Excellency the Duke will prepare a chic dinner." ”

"Okay, okay."

Romeo felt that his brain was completely insufficient, and he needed a little time to calm down.

Just to ask the old butler what happened.

After Romeo left, the guards came to the curtain. Liu Mu instructed: "Pass on my words, just say the opinion of the chief boss, and hope that all the merchants and merchants of Datang can follow my advice." Goods with a single profit of less than five times are not allowed to be made again, and the lower-level merchants of the Mediterranean who support the business name and the merchant gang will be released and commissioned if the profit is less than five times. ”

"Yes." The guards wrote it down on paper.

Liu Mu continued: "The fleet directly under the general shipping department is not allowed to do business with less than ten times the profit. Those who develop new projects and purchase extremely useful materials will be rewarded. ”

"Lang Jun, can you tell the fleet directly under the General Shipping Division, and let them use their wisdom to study more and discover all the business opportunities that are beneficial to my Datang. Whether this news is known to ordinary caravans and merchants. ”

"Don't deliberately spread it, don't hide it. But if anyone spreads the matter of the profit limit to the ears of the aliens of the Mediterranean. I promise not to ask what to do, and leave everything to my eldest brother-in-law. ”

The corners of the guard's mouth smiled nonchalantly. Liu Mu laughed directly: "If you want to laugh, you can laugh out, how uncomfortable it is to hold back." ”

The guard smiled and said with a smile: "Leave it to the Yijun King to deal with, I'm afraid it's better to break it yourself." ”

"That's right, just make them scared and don't talk nonsense to me. Who dares to tell some secrets such as the cost of medicine and the cost of silk and kill his whole family. The secret of silk must be strictly guarded, and there must be no contempt. ”

"Yes." The guards made a note and retreated.

Not to mention silk, the yamen at all levels of Datang, and the state capitals treat the unique work of their respective state workshops as treasures and stare them to death. If the workshops in other states and counties want to come to study, you can't even get close to the door of the workshop without the official documents of the respective state capital.

Whoever dares to break into some key workshops, the local state capital may even use the escort army.

But Yanagi still thinks that he will give an account of the matter.

The secret of industrial technology is the foundation of Datang.

That night, Dugu Lanruo hosted a banquet for Princess Frank Erin Sarah, and only one cup of black tea allowed Dugu Lanruo to get a black tea business worth one million yuan a year and a sugar business worth two million yuan a year.

Even if Baoqin secretly reminded Dugu Lanruo and Xiao Ling'er that the sugar business could not get five times the profit.

Xiao Ling'er still promoted the trade of sugar, even if she didn't do it, there were also Datang's chambers of commerce that profited from this transaction, and Datang's treasury would also have corresponding tax revenues.

On the other side, the old butler told Baron Romeo a lot, a lot. About the information that the old butler received when Baron Romeo met Willow, and the agreement he could not refuse.

Yanagi gave Romeo a startle.

Women's body mori, sushi, sashimi.

Yanagi didn't even move his chopsticks, and gave all the food, both the food and the container containing it, to Count Romeo.

Five days later, Yanagi sat on the beach and tasted his invention of black tea with milk and sugar. Baoqin came to Liu Mu's side: "Lang Jun, Romeo sent four thousand strong prisoners of war slaves and gold weighing more than ten stone to Alexandria as promised, and summoned twenty-six loyal merchants to listen to his orders. ”

Liu Mu picked up the small teacup in front of him and sniffed it, and then asked, "What do you think?" ”

He saw hope, believed and understood the benefits and costs of loyalty, so he was quite attentive to this time. As far as our people observed, there were a group of high-quality Slavic slave girls and a group of Celtic slave girls in the past five days, and he was not distracted at all and had been concentrating on his work. ”

"Looks pretty good." Liu Mu praised it flatly.

Baoqin continued: "How about sending these strong male slaves to Mogadishu? ”
