Section 0817 Initial Talks
Yuan Taizuo, as the first high-ranking official of Goguryeo, was even more self-proclaimed.
After his death, the official title and title should have been inherited by Yuangai Suwen, but Yuangai Suwen was still young at this time, and he relied on the strength of his family to help him support the control of Goguryeo, and Mo Lizhi Yuangai Suwen was not qualified to take over.
At present, the name of Mo Lizhi is owned by Yizhi Wende.
Mo Lizhi is a kind of self-created official position that can be called an official position, or a title, which is above all official positions, and its function is actually beyond the nature of the prime minister, and it has the characteristics of a temporary special official position set up by autocratic ministers to usurp the throne.
The countdown to Eulzhiwende's life has begun.
This famous general has made countless miraculous feats in the war against the former Sui, but countless people can't defeat the years.
He is about to die, and after his death, the position of Mo Lizhi will belong to Yuan Gai Suwen.
Yuan Pure Land is the younger brother of Yuan Gai Suwen, who is currently leading the palace guards and is one of the most important people in controlling the royal power of the Yuan clan.
The three of them came to see Willow Mu, and Willow Mu set up a feast.
There were only four people attending the banquet, and there were no main and secondary positions, but four low sheets and four cushions, Liu Mu and Yuan Tai Taro sat in the inner position, and the Yuan brothers sat outside.
The four of them had a large table only half a foot high, with a silk tablecloth spread on the table.
First of all, there are eight cold, which are divided into four meat and four vegetarian, three sweet and five salty.
Among them, glutinous rice lotus root slices, golden silk dates, sesame oil ear shreds, fried hairtail fish, shredded anchovy mushrooms, sauced beef, crystal meat and the best wine, mustard three silks.
Bare this plating, appearance, color. Although Yuangai Suwen was unwilling, he couldn't help but say a word of convincing.
Not to mention the feeling of this entrance, it is far from being comparable to his great Goguryeo.
Hot dishes, main dish roast duck, steamed fish......
Yanagi shows a world of foodies that Gaugura people can't even imagine, and just looking at it makes the three of the Yuan clan stunned.
Watching the maid's dazzling knife skills slicing the roast duck and then wrapping it in a pancake, Yuan Gai Suwen couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, which was really embarrassing.
Liu Mu suddenly spoke at this time: "I have already prepared the materials to be purchased, and countless prices and quantities are amazing." ”
Yuangai Suwen looked sideways at Liumu, and Liumu also turned around: "In the north of Goguryeo, there is a mountain by the Tumen River, and my people have found an iron mine. This iron mine is an open-pit mine, which is very easy to mine, and it is not far from the river, you only need to build a few docks and then go down the river. ”
"Iron ore?"
"Yes, iron ore and, of course, carboniferous." Yanagi added.
There was a smile on the corner of Yuan Gai Suwen's mouth: "So, how much do you plan to purchase every year?" ”
"How much you have, how much I buy."
Liu Mu's domineering words made Yuan Gai Suwen very uncomfortable, and immediately said: "Do you know that my Yuan clan can mobilize the power of hundreds of thousands of people. ”
"I have money, I have enough coins. If there are not enough coins, cloth, silk, porcelain. Even gold mines, jewelry ......" Liu Mu's words sounded like a kind of show-off in Yuangai Suwen,
So Yuangai Suwen decided to take Liumu into an army. Yuangai Suwen said: "At the beginning, we had an agreement that I could purchase everything that could be bought in the Chang'an Market. ”
"Yes."
"A high-grade stainless steel knife in Chang'an Market, a high-grade stainless steel knife that is better than an iron knife is 1,850 yuan, and I will pay 2,200 yuan to receive the goods in Pingcheng, how much will I collect?"
Yanagi said that he collects as much iron ore as he wants. After only a few words, Yuangai Suwen threw back the same words, what he wanted to buy was a high-grade stainless steel knife.
Liu Mu smiled and said with a smile: "Okay, then I can also make the decision privately and sell you some armor." ”
"How much, how much do I want?" Yuangai Suwen believed that Liumu was strong, weapons could not be sold to enemy countries, and Goguryeo would never be an ally of the Tang Dynasty.
Yuangai Suwen wanted to see if Liu Mu really dared to sell weapons to himself, and there was armor.
According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the private armor was exiled for 3,000 miles.
"I don't know how much iron ore the prince can provide me, I hope it's not too little." Liu Mu also handed over a scroll of paper at the same time as Yuan Gai Suwen's army.
Inside the scroll was a simple map showing the location of the iron ore mines, as well as the locations of selected docks.
"One month, within a month, my Yuan clan guarantees that the first batch of ore can be loaded onto the ship."
"Okay, I'll arrange for fifty boats to go up the river upstream."
Yuangai Suwen stared at Liu Mu: "Contract tomorrow?" ”
"You can send people north today, and I'll forget about it."
"Good!" Yuangai Suwen nodded heavily.
There was already a spark flashing between the two, and Yuan Gai Suwen was showing his pride, but he didn't expect Liu Mu to be even more domineering.
A luncheon was full of fire.
Returning to his home from Yanagiki's temporary residence, Yuangai Suwen held a teacup high in his hand, and when he was about to hit the ground, he stopped and suddenly laughed.
"There is a conspiracy, but no matter what kind of conspiracy it is, with the armor in hand and enough food saved, I am not afraid of Goguryeo."
Yuan Tai also agreed with this.
There are soldiers, and swords, and armor, and food, and what is terrible?
Early the next morning, Yuangai Suwen took his younger brother Yuanjing Land to find Liumu, who was sleeping lazily, so the two waited for half an hour for Liumu to appear in the living room.
"Rude, rude." Liu Mu apologized repeatedly, after all, he was late.
Yuan Gai Suwen said a few polite words and then went straight to the point.
"Liu Douma, what is the way of this mining?"
"There are a lot of these, and it's relatively simple that you give me ore and I give coins." Liu Mu motioned for someone to prepare tea, and at the same time spoke to Yuangai Suwen.
Although Yuangae Suwen was arrogant, he also knew the current situation of Goguryeo, and they didn't have the talent to open a mine at all, and they couldn't dig much if they relied on that soil method.
Therefore, Yuangai Suwen did not shy away from it, and said directly: "We don't have talents who understand large-scale mining areas. ”
"I have."
Yuangai Suwen asked again: "There must be a road to build from the mining area to the wharf, and we don't have a horse-drawn cart that can pull heavy goods, and we don't have a suitable road. ”
"I have."
Yuan Gai Suwen asked for the third time, "We can't build a dock that can park big ships. ”
"I have."
"Mobilizing a lot of coolies requires countless amounts of food."
"I have."
Liu Mu replied very calmly, slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea before saying: "Since I, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, am willing to form an alliance with your state and make friends, then your Goguryeo seems to be almost sincere." ”
