Section 0611 The oil palm has fallen
After asking, the interpreter told Yanagi that this was indeed the case with their national conditions, and that he had come as an envoy.
But when it comes to military purposes, when I first came to Datang, I only heard that there were big countries here, and I wanted to make friends, but I didn't have the idea of military goals.
Liu Mu laughed dryly:
"Tell him that no matter what he thinks, I have no interest in starting a war against the Persians. If he came to restore the economy, then I would give him a chance, and the city of Rome had a hundred million ceths a year four hundred years ago, and I would give him a billion in trade, provided that Said, Djibouti, and the Ivory Coast were under their control. ”
The translation took a quarter of an hour to communicate.
Then the interpreter said to Liu Mu: "He doesn't understand these three place names. ”
"I'll draw a picture for him."
Yanagi quickly drew a map of the Mediterranean region and a part of Africa.
Soon Liu Mu got the answer, the Red Sea was indeed completely under the control of the Egyptian sphere of influence, and Egypt was the land of the Byzantine kingdom. But the Ivory Coast is not.
"The colt, according to Oscar Buddy, is a vast area of God's end, with poverty, death, and ignorance everywhere. But the power of the Byzantine emperor could still control the Ivory Coast, both by land and sea, but they needed outside help, and they no longer had enough money to pay their soldiers, build ships, and build weapons. ”
Liu Mu quickly drew a picture of a plant: "This thing asked him if he had seen it, and how many fruits of my plant there were." ”
He had seen, and in the cities of Athens and Thebes there were nobles with gardens and gardens. But there are so many varieties, I don't know which one we want. ”
"I want everything, and after I've verified everything, I know which one I want."
"Then, set up a feast."
Specific cooperation has not been negotiated, and it is impossible to negotiate it all at once.
Speaking of magnificence, Li Shentong ordered all the famous Oiran of the whole of Hangzhou to come to Liumu's manor, put on their most gorgeous clothes, and there were 500 people dancing and accompaniment.
Food, there are hundreds of delicacies on the large table in front of you.
Oscarbadi's eyes have been spent, how much gold is going to be worn on the body, the price of fine silk in Byzantium is already twice as high as gold, how much silk is here, the eyes are full of silk, all gold.
Of course, Yanagi also received a gift from Oscar Buddy.
This is a very important gift.
In the eyes of the Tang people, this is also a treasure.
After Oscar Buddy, who was completely worthless in drinking, was carried down, Li Shentong's subordinates had already put down all of Oscar Buddy's entourage before the main course was served, and there was still a gap between them and Li Shentong's generals in terms of the amount of alcohol.
In the back garden, Liu Mu sat in Dugu Lanruo's room.
On the table was the same gift from Oscar Buddy, a Persian scimitar.
"I heard that they got this thing by killing a big nobleman of the enemy army, just looking at the gems on it, there are hundreds of gems, and the scabbard is also wrapped with a layer of gold, which can be worth thousands of dollars in Chang'an." Baoqin was holding the knife and trying to sharpen it: "Good steel." ”
"Well, it's a good knife. I've sent you. "Yanagi doesn't have much interest in this thing.
Baoqin put the knife down: "I don't want it, this thing can't be eaten or drunk, it's just good-looking." ”
Compared with scimitars, Datang people prefer their own horizontal knives, which have long been accustomed to whether they are light or heavy, or long.
"Then wrap it up and send it to the palace." Dugu Lanruo said on the side.
Liu Mu didn't care about the golden scimitar, no matter how valuable it was, it was just a knife, to put it more bluntly, this was an expensive ornament.
Yanagi wanted to ask some questions while only the three of them were there.
"Lan Ruo, I didn't read the paperwork back then, how much is your dowry?"
Such a strange question, Dugu Lan didn't understand why Liu Mu suddenly asked this, and after thinking about it, she shook her head: "I don't know either." ”
"Okay." Yanagi was not surprised by this answer.
Instead, Baoqin said: "Up to now, the fiefdom of 1,300 households is the dowry. There are a few of the rest, but nothing compared to this. ”
Seal the eup!
Yanagi really didn't expect it, but it's true that this is really a big head.
Baoqin asked for Liu Mu: "What is Lang Jun asking for?" ”
"I just wanted to ask, how much dowry do you have in Baoqin?"
After hearing this question, Baoqin sat down next to Dugu Lanruo before answering: "The princess gave me the output of a hundred fiefdoms, which is enough to feed me." ”
"How about I give you a golden job?" Liu Mu also happily sat on the other side of Dugu Lanruo.
Dugu Lanruo pulled Huqin and motioned for Huqin to sit next to Liu Mu. Then he asked: "What kind of golden rice bowl is it, how can it not be less than the income of two hundred fiefdoms." ”
"Peace of mind, how could I treat Baoqin badly. This is a few days ago when I heard Xiao Linger say her dowry, I just briefly understood it, and the dowry they brought when they got married was really amazing. Xiao Linger actually has a silk mill with almost four or five hundred people, which is a year's income is very amazing if it is guaranteed by raw materials and sales. ”
Baoqin actually smiled when he heard this: "Lang Jun, you really don't seem to understand." ”
Liu Mu was very puzzled: "I don't understand again?" ”
Baoqin explained: "The son-in-law has no selfish wealth, this has long been a foregone conclusion, and Tang Law also has strict regulations, Xiao Ling'er's silk workshop is really calculated according to Tang Law, she doesn't have much power, it's just that Lang Jun doesn't want to take her little money." ”
Yanagi was taken aback: "Ah! ”
Baoqin understood this very well, and immediately gave Liu Mu an explanation.
If Liu Mu's father is still alive, let alone a daughter-in-law, even Liu Mu himself does not have absolute property rights in the provisions of Tang Law. Therefore, the dowry is only a limited property right, the right to dispose of, and the right to use.
Baoqin held Liu Mu's arm and smiled: "Otherwise, it would take a month to write the contract before entering the door, Xiao Ling'er doesn't look at her young age, but she cares very much about her dowry, and she is afraid that those will be completely merged into her husband's family." So she has to fight for some of the power she has and guarantee her obligations to this family. ”
She ...... Isn't it just a concubine? There are also obligations. Yanagi asked in surprise.
Baoqin replied very indifferently: "If Lang Jun finds a dancing concubine as an inferior concubine, then this concubine doesn't care about the obligations at all, Xiao Ling'er is ambitious, and she also wants to have a higher status." ”
When the contract was signed, it was Baoqin who negotiated with Xiao Ling'er and Xie Xing'er's families on behalf of Dugu Lanruo.
Therefore, Baoqin worked hard to study quite a number of laws. 5610
