Section 0854 Tang Concession
After Liu Mu stayed, Baoqin had already obtained a lot of information from the people who turned into Wenyue Pavilion in the tenement inn.
"Lang Jun, there is a very interesting piece of information. As long as Yuangai Suwen is in Pingcheng, he will come to Tangfang every day to take a turn, even if he just comes to drink a cup of tea, he will definitely come. ”
"He runs around every day?"
Yanagi didn't understand what Yuangai Suwen's intentions were.
Baoqin said: "According to Wenyue Pavilion's analysis, Yuangai Suwen thinks that this small Tang Fang is the Tang Dynasty, and you can see a lot of information about our Tang Dynasty here. He regarded the Tang Dynasty as the biggest enemy in his life, so he would come here every day to observe, until the Tang Fang was closed. ”
Yanagi understood what it meant.
This Tang Fang is a small microcosm of Datang society, and Yuan Gai Suwen believes that you can see the excellent side of Datang here, and you can also find the weaknesses of Datang.
Baoqin asked on the side, "Is Lang Jun going to meet Yuan Gai Suwen?" ”
"No, you don't."
Baoqin asked again: "The person in charge here asks, do you need to guard against Yuan Gai Suwen?" ”
Liu Mu shook his head again: "No. Are there usually Goguryeo civilians here? ”
After asking, Liu Mu regretted it, shook his head with a smile, and hugged Qin on the side: "Lang Jun, there are no civilians in Goguryeo." ”
"Yes, there are no civilians in Goguryeo, so what kind of goods are shipped the most here?"
"Burlap, rice, spices, all kinds of sauces, and all kinds of pickles. Also, like the Japanese people, Goguryeo people have never eaten polished rice before, and the sales of polished rice here are surprisingly good. The Goguryeo people did not have the ability to turn brown rice into polished rice, so the Goguryeo people seem to be exploring this technique. ”
Brown rice turns into polished rice.
Yanagi remembers the modern process, as if it takes eight processes to turn rice into polished rice.
Datang's side requires more than a dozen processes before the rice can be turned into snow-white polished rice.
Datang people do not use polished rice to cook rice, which is too wasteful. Only steamed rice will use polished rice, and ordinary people will easily not steam rice, and they will use cooked rice or stuffed rice.
The nobles of the Tang Dynasty also do not often ** rice, since the increase in the production of white noodles, the nobles of the Tang Dynasty prefer noodles.
"I was thinking of building two mills here, one mill." Liu Mu said to himself.
"The more Goguryeo wants, the more they can't get it." Huqin gave Liu Mu an idea on the side.
Liu Mu nodded silently: "When will the fleet of Persian merchants arrive?" ”
"The time should be in a few days, and I will send someone to the dock to keep an eye on it."
"Yes." Yanagi nodded.
Baoqin went to find the people from Wenyue Pavilion stationed in Tangfang again, firstly to inquire about the news, and secondly, he hadn't seen him for a long time, after all, several people who had been trained together were here.
Xiao Ling'er was in charge of preparing dinner for Liu Mu.
During dinner, Xiao Ling'er said to Liu Mu: "Lang Jun, I observed the mine and felt that there was still something to do here. ”
"Tell me about it." Liu Mu didn't take Xiao Ling'er's words seriously in his heart, because many industries and products on Goguryeo's side were restricted, and to put it bluntly, he didn't want many technologies to flow to Goguryeo.
Xiao Ling'er was very serious: "Goguryeo can burn porcelain." ”
"Porcelain?" Hearing this, Yanagi put down the chopsticks in his hand.
Xiao Ling'er nodded very seriously: "When Goguryeo was in the former Sui Dynasty, the craftsmanship of celadon and white porcelain was already mature, and the level of pottery brick craftsmanship in Baekje was quite high. Porcelain is a work that requires a lot of manpower and high craftsmanship. But what about small porcelain bottles, the simplest small porcelain bottles that don't have too many process requirements? ”
"Porcelain vase."
After Liu Mu repeated, he thought of the massive amount of grass essential oil in Lingnan.
"Husband, Rome's prediction of the purchase volume of our essential oils will be a huge number, I heard that in many states further west and north of Rome, they are women from aristocratic families who do not bathe, and the smell on their bodies is very strong, and there will be a large number of sales for essential oils."
Xiao Ling'er saw it very accurately, and Liu Mu recognized these words.
Xiao Ling'er said again: "Shipping it in a large barrel, looking at the transportation of too much, may not be beneficial. ”
"You mean, all in small bottles?"
"Yes, it is best to design a box for small bottles, and it is best to use bamboo. With the same amount of essential oils plus packaging, we can earn more than five times more. ”
Liu Mu nodded, this is indeed a clever approach.
The small bottle must feel very high-end, and later European perfumes were sold to the Central Plains, and the very expensive ones cost dozens of dollars per drop.
"Little white bottle, with a print." Xiao Ling'er threw out another trick.
These ideas are indeed quite clever in terms of the knowledge of a Tang girl.
"Then you can give it a try."
Xiao Ling'er's face showed joy, and she added: "The Goguryeo people don't always want our superb craftsmanship, so they will give them some appropriately, but there is a fee." ”
"Well, well, you're very right, I support it."
"Also, the pigments on the porcelain vase can't be made by the Goguryeo people, they need to buy it from us."
Xiao Linger kept telling her ideas.
In Liumu's understanding, Xiao Er invested in the Goguryeo porcelain industry with technology and capital, and Goguryeo provided labor and raw materials.
It's not that Yoagi hasn't thought about this, it's just that Goguryeo's plan has just begun to be implemented, and it hasn't reached this point yet.
Liu Mu smiled and asked, "You didn't think of these things yourself, did you?" ”
Xiao Ling'er blushed and nodded: "This is the idea given by the family." ”
"Good. This can be done, you ask the family to come up with a complete set of plans and send them to the Donggang Shipping Division for argumentation. If there is no problem, then my suggestion is that you can find a noble lady of the same status in Goguryeo to cooperate and help me with a little trick by the way. ”
"Little tricks?" Xiao Linger was puzzled.
Liu Mu said to Xiao Ling'er with a smile on his face: "It is such a small trick to make the people of the Yuan clan not interested in cooperating with families other than the Yuan clan. How to do this little trick well, you can ask your family to help you come up with an idea. ”
After thinking for a while, Xiao Ling'er suddenly realized: "Husband, I understand, that is, after letting the Yuan family start making money in this porcelain workshop, they began to regret it. I believe that such a small business, that Yuan Gai Suwen may not know. ”
"Yes, it's a small business." Liu Mu emphasized the three words of small business.
Xiao Ling'er may not be able to play this little trick by herself, but Xiao Ling'er still has the Xiao family behind her, this business looks small, if the number comes up, the income of this business is also quite amazing.
The Xiao clan has countless capable people, and they will make the plan perfectly.
