After receiving Yogaki's approval, the official walked to the gathering place of the slave workers on the dock and shouted in Goguryeo: "You have done a good job today, not only have you worked hard, but you have not taken a copper coin." Since you are all doing the work of carrying goods on the dock, then this reward is ......"

The Goguryeo people suspected that they had misheard.

The Tang officials actually asked a person with the greatest strength to carry the money, as long as he could carry it from the pile of money to his standing, the money he carried out was the reward for everyone today, and everyone had a share of the reward.

But if you are greedy and let go halfway, then there is no reward.

Ten pounds of money is sixty-four pounds.

This weight is nothing at all for a strong Tang soldier.

The Goguryeo slave workers here were not strong, they did not eat well enough, and their physical strength was far inferior to that of the Tang people. And having been tired all day, unloading the coins from the ship, and loading iron ore for another whole day, many people were tired and weak.

It is at least a hundred steps from Qianshan to this Tang man's little official.

Ten dollars should be the limit of the strongest physical strength of these slave laborers, not to mention the rule that if you can't memorize it, the reward will be canceled.

In the end, the Goguryeo slave laborers only carried a little more than 4,000 Wen.

The Goguryeo slave laborers did not dare to be greedy, let alone believe that the reward would be real.

"Reward!" The Tang man saw that the slave who was kneeling in front of him just said a word of reward lightly, and then the Tang people, whether it was the small official or the foreman, all retreated.

Baoqin told Liu Mu in a low voice: "Our people have poisonous eyes, just look at the depth of the basket, it is estimated that it should be about 4,100 yuan, according to the current number of slave workers on the dock, almost 5 yuan per manpower." For Goguryeo slave laborers, this was a huge amount of money. ”

"I don't care about these slaves, I arrange to pick people. Counting money is a very hard job, and I need a hundred people who count money specifically for me, Goguryeo people. ”

"It's been picked, a hundred Goguryeo slave girls."

"Tomorrow morning, when the second ship begins to be loaded, we will start counting, count it out and hand it to the representatives sent by the nobles, let's talk about the rules, how many stones and ores a ship loads, give them how many coins, and pay when it is full and leave the port, as for how they transport the coins away, it has nothing to do with us, and the coins cannot be left on the dock."

Few of the officials here understood why Liu Mu had to settle the bill on the spot.

But this kind of thing is not the same as giving a bounty on the docks, it must be some kind of ploy, and no one dares to ask, and no one raises objections.

Baoqin wrote down Liu Mu's order in the small notebook and then said: "The chief steward of the wharf has made a suggestion that the Goguryeo slave workers who repair the wharf can be rewarded, and each person will be paid a penny one day in advance of the construction period." ”

"Hair, also to those who build roads. Isn't it just more than 50,000 slave laborers who can repair the road ten days in advance, and the reward of 500 yuan is not money at all, and these people eat more than this amount of food every day. After the road is repaired, I will all go to mining, and I will have unlimited ore. ”

Baoqin also wrote it down in the small book.

Liu Mu stood up with the back of the chair, picked up the telescope and looked at it from a distance, and then said to Baoqin: "Arrange it, I will go to Fukuoka in five days, I want to see the progress of the steel mill." ”

"Yes." Baoqin nodded and wrote it down again.

The next day, Yanagi really made Goguryeo realize what pain means and be happy.

A member of the Yuan clan, Yuan Gai Suwen's cousin Yuan Jingquan rushed to the dock with Yuan Gai Suwen's younger brother Yuan Shaoqian.

After the two Yuan brothers came to the dock, they stared at the money mountain for a quarter of an hour, as nobles, they had never seen such a gorgeous money mountain.

So much, so much so that they couldn't breathe.

Is it much?

The officials of the Tang Dynasty simply put this money mountain in their eyes, and the Tang Dynasty no longer uses copper coins in bulk transactions, but uses Tang silver coins, the kind of one or two each.

Ordinary copper and steel coins have become a burden for commodity trading.

The reason is that it is too heavy, and the money has always been six catties and four taels.

The weight of one catty in the Tang Dynasty is 660 grams according to the calculation of later generations, and one thousand copper coins are six catties and four taels of the weight of the Tang Dynasty, ten coins are one tael, and sixteen taels are one catty.

The weight of the posterity is 4.25 kilograms.

A trough ship can hold a thousand stone net weight for grain, a little more coins, and copper is heavier than grain. But more is also limited, after all, there is an upper limit to the load of a boat.

The copper coins brought by a trough ship were 18,000 yuan.

Liu Mu has arranged a total of five ships to transport money, and only three ships have arrived at the port, and two are still on the way, and it is estimated that they will arrive at the port in two or three days.

The Tang officials were not surprised, as officials sent by the Ministry of Households, they had seen the million-dollar warehouse of Chang'an Changping Qianzhuang, which was the real pile of money, and there were countless coins in sacks.

There is no need for sacks to transport to Goguryeo, because sacks also cost money, and the sacks containing money are all high-quality and very strong sacks, not to mention that Yoomu asked to pile up money into a small mountain of money, so that the Goguryeo people can see what it means to be rich.

In order to prevent the Tang officials from showing any concern for these coins, all the officials sent here must count the coins in the warehouse for ten days before leaving, and let them count the coins until they vomit, and count until they get dizzy when they see the money.

Yuan Jingquan stared at Qian Shan, and then looked at the indifferent expressions of the Tang officials to the coins, and he was convinced.

Datang's wealth made him have to obey.

At the same time, he also understood the necessity of his cousin's humiliation.

In the distance, Baoqin was reporting to Liu Mu in a low voice: "Lang Jun, although that Yuan Shaoqian is the younger brother of Yuan Gai Suwen, he was born to a maidservant, so he is a pariah." According to the decree of Goguryeo, the two classes of nobles are the true nobles, and the children born to the maidservants are the pariahs. ”

"?" Liu Mu was puzzled: "How do I remember that the concubine is called a Zhongren." ”

Baoqin flipped through the investigation report on Goguryeo and found the relevant content: "Langjun, Zhongren refers to being born with a good concubine. The candidate for this good concubine refers to the advanced good people who are engaged in translation, medicine, art, heaven, earth, and painting in the official government, that is, the daughters of the few commoner families. Handmaidens belong to slaves. ”

"I see, they still have civilians."

"Yes, but there aren't many of them. These people are also hereditary, and they learn from their fathers about the relevant technical inheritance. There are also men in the army, and they can also be at the level of junior generals. Most of the women are concubines of two classes of nobles, and they rarely become the main family. ”

After saying this, Baoqin stretched out his hand and pointed at the Yuan brothers in the distance: "Those two, Yuan Shaoqian is a pariah, so his identity is lower than that of Yuan Jingquan." ”

"Let's go, we'll meet these two for a while." After Liu Mu finished speaking, he walked to the dock.
