Those Baekje nobles who make trouble are actually secretly controlled behind their backs.

Liu Mu said slowly: "This matter, the Ministry of Rites can't mediate. ”

"There is no way to talk about this, and we already have enough evidence to prove that it was not the mountain bandits who robbed supplies at the seashore and on the main road of border transportation on several occasions, but the regular army of Baekje. It was the Baekje people who first provoked this dispute, and we in Goguryeo were helpless. ”

The Pure Land of the Wonjo Land loudly complained about the hatefulness of the Baekje people.

Liu Mu just listened quietly, but did not say a word.

Yuan Pure Land said: "Tens of thousands of Goguryeo people have died in the mines in the Maoshan mining area, but I, Goguryeo, have to send more people just to increase production, we need enough money to buy grain, today natural disasters continue, many places are not harvested, and the price of grain in Wangcheng is already five times that of the harvest in the harvest year." ”

The matter of grain prices is known to Yanagi.

Some natural disasters are also real, but they are not as serious as the Yuan Pure Land said, and the content of the investigation of the Moon Pavilion is that Yuan Gai Suwen secretly stored a lot of grain as war preparation and military rations.

At this point, Yuangai Suwen is learning Emperor Wen of Sui's method of storing grain.

After ensuring that the treasury had enough food for the people to eat for ten years, that is, when Goguryeo declared war on the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, the senior staff officers of the Tang Dynasty who were hiding in the dark pavilion did not dare to be angry, they were extremely nervous, and the set goal was to let Goguryeo start a war again, and to control the time of this war.

Right now, they couldn't hear any good news from the conversation between the willow wood and the deep pure land.

Suddenly, Yanagi asked, "Your brother wants to fight Baekje?" ”

One sentence stunned the Yuan Pure Land, and Liu Mu's simple and direct way of hitting the core of the statement Yuan Pure Land didn't know how to answer.

Yanagi asked again: "Then you answer me, yes or no." Don't talk nonsense. ”

"Yes!"

At this time, the Yuan Pure Land was caught off guard by General Yanagi suddenly, and could only answer truthfully.

Liu Mu smiled indifferently: "That little bit of caution, I think I can hide from the world." ”

The Pure Land of the Abyss was speechless.

Liu Mu said again: "The amount of porcelain that Datang needs this year is a must, this is related to various contracts, you Goguryeo want to do something to Baekje, then you have to wait for Baekje to hand over the batch of goods next spring, and then the quantity of porcelain guaranteed by Baekje in the spring of next year, you Goguryeo must ensure the quality and quantity of the supply." ”

"You answer, yes or no?"

Such a direct request and a question. This made the senior staff officers of Datang who were hiding in the dark pavilion almost go crazy.

But the Pure Land of the Yuan exhaled with relief: "Thank you, Liufuma, we promise that it will never affect the supply of porcelain, and we Goguryeo do not want to meet with the Baekje soldiers, we will send envoys to communicate with the king of Baekje, as long as they can hand over the soldiers dressed as mountain bandits to us Goguryeo, and promise not to invade our Goguryeo again, this matter is also over." ”

"I don't care about that."

Liu Mu put on an attitude that he was stupid enough to listen to, ordered someone to send a pen and paper, and wrote a warrant on the spot: "With this warrant, you can buy 1 million stone of grain at a flat price in the household department before you go back, and buy 3 million stone of grain at a premium of 30%, and the household department will send a ship to the Goguryeo royal city, and you can negotiate the transportation cost yourself." ”

"Thank you, thank you." The Yuan Pure Land was very excited, he needed this batch of food.

With this batch of grain, Goguryeo went to war with Baekje, and it was possible not to use war reserves to store grain.

Liu Mu said: "Go back and tell your brother that I need a promise from him, that the porcelain vase is for spices, and that the Arab and Persian merchants have a contract with the chief shipper, and if they cannot supply enough goods, they need to double the compensation, and the contract will be credited, and this matter must not have any effect." ”

"Understand, the guarantee will definitely not affect the supply."

The Pure Land of Won answered while thinking, and immediately began to build a large number of kilns when he went back, taking advantage of the spring break of next year to start a war, the craftsmen of Goguryeo and the Baekje craftsmen who were snatched back from Baekje, as long as they were properly organized, would never miss the contract for the supply of porcelain vases, but they would only attack Baekje, but it was difficult to ask again at this time.

The Pure Land of the Yen understood that his brother Won Gai Suwen wanted to destroy Baekje, but it was not easy to say such words.

Or in another way, as with Silla, to support a power of its own, Baekje still exists in name, but it exists in name only.

Yuan Pure Land was still in a daze, and Liu Mu said: "I originally planned to have a banquet with you today, but I will be assessed in the next few days, and I will set up a banquet in the mansion in five days." ”

"Thank you, Liu, but I plan to rush back immediately, and then send someone to deliver the letter from my brother to you as soon as possible."

"It's fine."

Liu Mu didn't keep it, and after arranging for someone to give a few gifts, he politely drove out the Yuan Pure Land.

After the Yuan Pure Land left, Liu Mu scolded with a smile: "The letter of commitment is the letter of promise, and it is also said to be a letter." Come. ”

Someone came to listen to the order.

Liu Mu instructed: "Send someone to call me Konoe Zhongli and Konoe Tadachi, and tell them that the opportunity to show loyalty and get meritorious service is just around the corner, and I need their strength, let them choose the elite while arranging according to this secret letter, and then one of them will come to Chang'an, and the Tang Emperor will personally summon and teach the opportunity." ”

"Yes!"

Willow's guard took the letter from Willow and retreated.

As for the senior staff officers of Datang who left from the secret passage with an incredulous expression, they had to hurry back to report and calculate the next course of action.

Their plans cannot be said to be useless.

It's just that no one would have imagined that Liu Mu would be so domineering to Goguryeo, yes or no, as long as this simple answer.

No one expected that the No. 3 person in Goguryeo's real power, Yuan Pure Land, would not dare to look directly at Liu Mu.

After the senior staff officer of Datang hurried back to Chang'an, he reported the situation in Shangshu Province, Du Ruhui was also shocked, but Li Jing's reaction was very flat, with a look that I had known for a long time.

"Pharmacist, you seem to have guessed this?"

Li Jing nodded and replied to Du Ruhui: "It's more domineering than I thought, but the Goguryeo people just eat this set, as Liu Mu said before, the more the Japanese are like dogs, the more docile they become, and the sticks are not as good as dogs, and they are cheap in the world." ”

"Born a !?" Du Ruhui had never heard of this at all.

"It's that you put others, and the stick feels like a god, and it has to be a head above you. You stomp him under your feet, and then give a casual tip, and the stick is more normal, and you feel like a person. Mu's original words are that the stick is born a slave, and he really has the opportunity to be a master but not a man. ”
