Feng Ang continued: "Zhuchi is a place where it is easy to be greedy for money, I want it but dare not ask for it, you are still in charge of it yourself." I don't know what will happen in the future, at least for a few years, more than ten years, or you will be in charge. ”

"This ......" Yanagi hesitated a little.

"You don't need to do anything now, just recognize this name. At present, the managers of the Pearl Pool are still the pearl girls you trained, and some of the helpers are also the women of Wenyue Pavilion. Feng An's words said that it would be inappropriate for Liu Mu not to take over.

Feng Ang knew very well in his heart that this technology belonged to Liu Mu, and in terms of identity, this kind of business could only be done by Liu Mu.

Willow will also distribute the benefits very well.

In the palace, outside the palace.

So apart from Liu Mu, Feng Ang couldn't think of anyone who could do such a business.

"Wait ten days, this batch of pearls, plus the ordnance I originally brought, can be exchanged for a large amount of treasure this time." Yanagi approved of the new arrangement.

Hou Junji asked at this time: "This time I went to Rome, there are risks on the way." ”

"In addition to the need for awe in the sea, there may be risks along the way, but my ship has a small general's cannon, and the average enemy can't do much. Speaking of this journey, there is one place that is very important. ”

Liu Mu also took a pen and paper and drew a picture of the South China Sea on a whim.

After the drawing, he pointed to one of them and said, "It's called Temasek, that's what I call it." There's a small country in this area, called the country of the Nose, and I don't know if Temasek counts them at the moment, and I don't know if there's anyone here. ”

The Kingdom of Sri was the earliest recorded name in the Central Plains, and later it was called the Kingdom of Srivijaya and the Kingdom of Sri Buddha.

Feng An, Su Dingfang, and Hou Junji stared at the map, and none of them spoke first.

There is no such map in Datang, and Datang has made some nautical charts by ships that went to Rome, but it is not as intuitive as Liumu's painting.

Although the nautical chart drawn by the ship from the Tang Dynasty to Rome has the Strait of Malacca, there is no further south.

There is a willow wood painting.

Feng Ang pointed to the chart and said: "I originally thought that this was just a waterway, but now it seems that this is the only waterway in the north and south, so this Temasek is unusual." ”

Hou Junji also said: "The land of the throat." ”

Liu Mu poured himself a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Whoever gets here controls the route of the east and west, just like Gaochang, can jam the Maritime Silk Road." ”

"Come on, let's keep drinking." Liu Mu poured wine for Feng Ang and the other three again.

Liu Mu said casually, and everyone here could not listen to it casually.

This is no ordinary thing.

Feng Ang and the other three didn't say anything more, but just accompanied Liu Mu to drink and say some interesting things.

After Liu Mu was sent back to the room, Feng Ang, who had just watched the drunkenness at the wine table, got together again.

"Two generals, the crime of sending troops without a purpose is not light. What kind of nose is there? ”

"It's been a good country." Hou Junji added a sentence on the side and expressed his attitude: "Since we are waiting to fight in the south, it is not good if such a choke point is not occupied." ”

Su Dingfang said at this time: "Actually, it's very simple, we can't send troops without a purpose. All you need to do is ask for a permit. ”

"What permission."

"I will immediately lead my troops over there, and General Feng will send someone to see the princess early tomorrow morning, only to say that there are some pirates in the surrounding seas. Our ships were partially struck and the pirates fled south. The horses and the princess are going to go to Rome, although the fleet is strong and strong, and they are not afraid of little pirates, but they can't let the pirates collide with my princess of the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Clever plan." Feng Ang clapped his hands lightly: "Let's just talk about fighting pirates, if that place is really occupied, let's see what the way is coming from." If it's already a good country, let's talk about it, if not, we can buy the port of the cape, if it's not ......" Feng Ang made a killing gesture.

"That's it." Hou Junji also thinks it's a good thing.

Su Dingfang particularly emphasized: "I want to go over this matter in person, the people under my hands have no sense of proportion, in case it is a city that has been nosedwelled in the country, and if there is a conflict, it will be a national war, and we can't afford to bear this charge." If not, I'll set up a boundary marker there. ”

"Okay."

The three of them discussed some more details, and Su Dingfang ordered troops overnight and headed south with five boats.

The next morning, Liu Mu was still drunk and did not wake up.

Feng An's wife went to see Dugu Lanruo.

According to what Feng Ang had taught in advance, Dugu Lanruo didn't think too much about it at all, not to mention that Feng Ang only asked for five boats and hundreds of people to go south to suppress bandits.

And there is no need for Dugu Lanruo to show any warrant, only to prove that Dugu Lanruo knows about it.

Such a small request, if Dugu Lan wanted to refuse, she couldn't find a reason to refuse.

I can only be grateful for the kindness of Yue Guogong.

At noon, when Liu Mu accompanied Dugu Lanruo to eat, Dugu Lanruo told the things of the early morning, Liu Mu put his head on his head with chopsticks and began to be in a daze, and he didn't eat anymore.

"Husband, is there any discomfort?"

"No, I was thinking that yesterday I was just a half-joke, who would have thought that Yue Guogong would take them seriously." After Liu Mu explained to Dugu Lanruo, he immediately shouted: "Hug the qin." ”

Baoqin quickly entered, and without waiting for Baoqin to stand firmly on Liumu, he said: "Hurry up and send someone to see if the three generals are here, or if the generals around them are sent out." ”

Baoqin immediately went to arrange someone.

This kind of thing is not difficult to inquire about, and Liu Mu got the result when he finished lunch, and Su Dingfang was not in Shouzhou.

"They're grabbing territory."

After hearing this, Dugu Lanruo said, "If I had known that this was the case, I could have lent them the talisman." ”

"Talismans?" Liu Mu didn't know that Dugu Lan had a talisman.

Dugu Lanruo motioned to Yueming to fetch it.

It is indeed a real Tang Dynasty military talisman, made of copper black, with the text on it from the military department and the Tang Emperor Li Shimin.

Dugu Lanruo explained: "This was quietly sent by the second brother, and I didn't let you know that the second brother was worried about us. This talisman has been in my hands for a long time, from the time we left Chang'an and came to Jiangnan. I am afraid that if something terrible happens, I can transfer 10,000 troops anywhere with this talisman. ”

"How many years?" Yanagi probably guessed it.

Dugu Lanruo nodded: "Well, at that time, the second brother had just ascended the throne, so I was afraid that there were still some restless people." I never had a chance to use it, and I forgot to return it to the second brother, and the second brother didn't send someone to take it back. The escort of the Chief Ship Division can even take down Beisha City, and this talisman is really useless. ”

"It's really useless." Liu Mu has military power in his hands, and all the guards of the General Ship Division can be concentrated to fight a small-scale national war, and the upper limit of 10,000 soldiers with the right to transfer troops may not be as high as the 3,000 people of the elite troops of the General Ship Division. <
