No matter what the rules are, as long as there is a fixed rule, these heroes of the green forest will not have an opinion, so after listening to Liu Mu's speech, everyone said:

"This matter is all under the orders of the second leader, and no one in the world of maritime trade can compare with the second leader."

The crowd had no opinion, they believed that it would definitely make money.

Liu Mu got up and clenched his fists: "Since you can trust me, then I will settle this matter." It's easy to do the money, and if you can't make up the money, it's easy to say, find a wealthy family to contribute. However, in the first ten boats, my eldest brother-in-law should have some family wealth to contribute, and Hongxia should also have some private money. ”

Hahaha!

Everyone laughed, in fact, they had money, but they took out 10,000 guan at a time to rent a ship, plus the purchase, grain and canned food, etc., at least 30,000 guan had to be prepared.

For ordinary people in the green forest, it is still a little difficult for them to come up with so much money.

"Well, let's talk about another thing. I'm afraid that this matter will make the participants incognito, at least don't say who they are or don't say that they are Datang people when doing things. ”

"The water comes and the fire goes, and the second leader will give you orders."

Liu Mu stood up and asked Baoqin to arrange for someone to fetch something he had prepared a long time ago.

Soon, the rattan box was taken.

Liu Mu threw the rattan box in front of the hero surnamed Wu: "Brother Wu, this is for you, put it on." ”

Inside was a set of clothes, two sets to be exact, and a small set of clothes.

The hero surnamed Wu has never told anyone what his name is, and Liu Mu has never asked, but he has only heard Qin Qiong say that this person is of the same clan as Wu Yuanzhao, and he was considered a famous family back then, and he seems to be a little sticky with Yidao.

Soon, the clothes were changed, this is a set of warrior power suits with light armor inside, with a cape.

Then the iron hook in his left hand, the wooden leg in his right leg, the one-eyed golden blindfold, and the monkey he had trained were also dressed. This is the bad taste of Liu Mu, to create a Tang version of the pirate king.

"A new name, King Shark. The world's number one pirate leader who is rampaging in the East China Sea, your personnel are ready. Ba Jian secretly recruited a number of warriors who were hunted down by the Silla nobles of Silla, Baekje, and Goguryeo. The blood that Mu Yun killed on Wa Island flowed like a river, and those excellent warriors who were bound to die and loyal to their original owners also secretly left a group. Coupled with our manpower, then this pirate group will be formed. ”

"The Pirate King?"

"That's right, I want you to rob the ships that didn't go through our permission, whether it's the Wa, Silla, Goryeo, or Baekje. Then there was a free time for the sea guard of the East China Sea Shipping Division, which was also a process of mutual training. For five years, I will keep you the title of duke. ”

"Shark King? The name is interesting, I heard that sharks are the overlords of the sea, and no one else can beat them. ”

Shark King, the new name of the hero surnamed Wu.

"You have two vice-captains, one is called the water ghost Longqing, a Japanese man. One is named Kim Soon-chen, a native of Goguryeo. The definition of this pirate is that the people of the Tang Dynasty, the Wa, and the Peninsula who were besieged and killed by the government fled to the sea and robbed some ships. I will arrange some events, such as you robbing Datang's official ship, and then Datang will offer a reward. ”

The Shark King asked, "It's the sea sealed, and all the boats without our permission will rob his mother." ”

"Yes, whoever of your subordinates dares to disobey the rules, who has a trace of anti-will, who dares to stand on their own, in a word, whoever disobeys you will die."

"No problem, although we have one less hand and one foot, it's no problem to clean up the widows."

"Rules, don't harm the Tang people. I don't care about the rest. After Liu Mu set the rules, he said: "One day in the future, this pirate group will be defeated, or persuaded to surrender to become a member of the regular navy of the Tang Dynasty, so the rules on the ship must be strictly established according to military orders, I will find a secret harbor for you as a base, and I will also send people to trade with you for the looted materials." ”

In this matter, Willow chose the principle of voluntariness, but many of the rangers of the Green Forest were willing to join these pirate groups.

"You have to decide the details, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War will send someone to Shen Cewei to discuss, this matter is to be officially recorded, there is no hurry, plus the training at sea, how can it be until the beginning of spring next year to officially go to sea to do things."

After Liu Mu explained some more details, he returned home with Baoqin.

The mansion is very deserted, and most of the maids followed Dugu Lanruo to Jiangnan, but Liu Mu and Baoqin are not the kind of people who love to be lively.

Liu Mu attended two more meetings in Chang'an.

One was the meeting held in the study of the Tang Emperor Li Shimin, although the study was not small, but with three main officials from each of the six ministries, it was still a little crowded.

However, Li Shimin didn't want to put the topic of silver mines in the Taiji Palace, which was a very confidential matter.

As Du Ruhui said, the half-month-long secret conversation between Liu Mu and Li Shimin is now being told to the important ministers that it is about silver mines, so there will be secret talks.

The ministers did not have the slightest suspicion.

After all, such a huge silver mine, and a large number of open-pit mines and shallow mining areas have been discovered, which is a major event for Datang that is related to the national fortune.

At the moment, the six ministries are participating in the meeting, and the matter of silver mines is not as simple as digging them up and turning them into coins.

The whole day of the meeting only came up with a preliminary opinion, many details still need to be returned by the six ministries to come up with a plan, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin mentioned the issue of secrecy three times in a row, and the consequences of violating it are serious and extremely serious.

Then, in the Wenyue Pavilion was the second meeting, a meeting on the ocean-going fleet and the pirate fleet.

This meeting is much simpler, mainly the six rules, the heroes of the green forest raise difficulties, and then bargain.

A few days later, Yanagi returned to Mihara.

However, instead of living in Mihara Kozhuang, he went to the training camp.

Cheng Yanjin is learning the application of new tactics here, and a thousand wolf squatting artillery can go out at any time.

With a team of four people, this thousand wolf squatting cannons has a total of two hundred and fifty little wolf squatting cannons.

Cheng Yanjin complained in front of Liu Mu: "You didn't do this beautifully, why didn't you give such a good thing to Lao Cheng earlier." ”

"Brother Cheng, do you know how much this thing costs?"

"It doesn't matter how much money he has, Lao Cheng only knows that this thing is a good thing to fight." Cheng Bingjin laughed.

Liu Mu also smiled and said, "Brother Cheng, accompany me to Huayuan once." Here's a copy of the decree for you to see. ”

"How can the Holy Decree be said to see." Cheng Biting Jin shook his head violently, but he didn't reach out to receive the holy decree.

Cheng Yanjin first went back to the house to wash his face, then changed into clean clothes, and only then came out to receive the holy decree with both hands after he was dressed neatly.

The content of the holy decree is to ask Cheng Yanjin to select weapons in Huayuan that can increase combat power on the matter of going to war against Gaochang next year, and the value is limited to 150,000 guan.
