The official of the Ministry of Officials gave a detailed account of the situation of the official state capital in the area of Liumu.

After thanking him, Liu Mu continued: "I thought that it was within this range. The first was the introduction of a new farming law, which would save a lot of labor, and then these laborers, as well as the women and able-bodied laborers who were not working, could participate in the newly built workshops, which were supposed to be enough for 50,000 permanent and 150,000 idle workers. ”

Li Shimin asked again: "So what do these workshops produce?" ”

"Lingnan will produce what it needs, Chang'an will produce what it needs, and the northwest state capitals will produce what they need. Not to mention anything else, only a top of the sole, the Tanzhou envoy will guarantee more than two million pairs to the minister, and then the porcelain bottle of essential oil, the minister needs no less than one million per year! ”

Liu Mu's words fell, and many people in the court coughed a few times, which was in a hurry to speak and spit on themselves.

Several courtiers rushed out and after giving in to each other, Yao Silian, the new secretary of the Ministry of Industry, said to Liu Mu: "Liu Horse, these state capitals you mentioned, not to mention a million, even 100,000 porcelain bottles can't be burned." ”

"Well, you always said that you need three million porcelain vases a year right now, and you always give me an idea."

"This ......" Yao Silian was defeated by Liu Mu.

Li Shimin opened his mouth and asked, "Why do you need three million porcelain vases?" ”

"Sage, the essential oil produced by the Xigang Shipping Company in a year is tens of thousands in large wooden barrels. Some of them are transported to Chang'an in wooden barrels and then packed, but some of them sold locally, as well as those transported to Quanzhou and Shaoguan by land, after the large wooden barrels are transported, they must always be packaged again before they can be sold to the people's homes. ”

Li Shimin waved his hand: "You go on, I listen." ”

The old courtiers heard this, and Li Shimin also choked, obviously he didn't know the current production of essential oils in Xigang Bosi. And there are very few in this small bottle, only one or two taels.

The essential oils of Datang in this era are not only the use of spices, but also medical supplies.

For example, rosemary essential oil, this essential oil is used every day, which has the effect of lowering blood sugar and softening blood vessels. Another example is lemon essential oil, which can help digestion, repel mosquitoes, and especially have a miraculous effect on toothache.

Datang's Medical Hall is making every effort to study the compatibility and use of a variety of essential oils.

In the eyes of these Taoist priests in the Tang Medical Sanctuary, this is a liquid herb, and as for the fragrance, it is additional, not its main function.

At this time, Liu Mu said again: "By the way, the minister forgot to talk about it." It seems that Tanzhou to Guangzhou can be transported by water. ”

"If you want to transport by water, you need to add at least three canals totaling more than 200 miles, and repair about 50 miles of waterways. and a large transshipment terminal, the Xiangjiang River flows from south to north, but the Pearl River flows from north to south. Since Yao Silian is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, he has these data.

"Can you fix it?" Yanagi asked.

"What about the money, what about the people?" Yao Silian angrily pushed the willow wood back.

"I'll give 100,000 labor, don't ......" Liu Mu hurriedly changed his words, saying that he was too arrogant, so Liu Mu changed his words and said: "Xigang Bosi will pay 50,000, and Donggang will pay 50,000." Money, this can't all be a pit. ”

Li Shimin spoke: "What do you think of the household?" ”

"Sage, this matter is not a trivial matter, and it is not just as simple as repairing a canal for hundreds of miles, it is better to wait for Liu Juma to speak all the words, and the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry will study and understand it in a few days."

"That's right. Yanagi you continue. ”

"I need ...... Wrong, it's that the Westport Shipping Division needs 500 Mengxue teachers. ”

"Well, it's hard. Because ...... of them"

Liu Mu grinned: "Okay, then I need the Ministry of Industry to lend these super-first-class builders who were originally going to renovate Longqing Fang, there are two places where I need to build a little thing." ”

"It's hard. Because of this......

Liu Muxin said, how can this be, the left can't work, the right can't work. Am I not helping you to increase the income of the provinces?

Liu Muxin said no, these old guys must have other ideas. Although I don't quite understand why I rejected myself so directly, it didn't affect what Liu Mu was going to do next.

Many people watched Liu Mu take out the stack in his hand and began to flip down, and when everyone listened very carefully, they heard Liu Mu suddenly oops, and then shouted urgently: "Sage, the minister has a stomachache, please leave ...... temporarily"

Li Shimin smiled secretly in his heart and waved his hand to signal that Liu Mu could leave.

Li Shimin said in his heart, Liumu is increasing the output value of the state capitals and increasing the income of the people in the state capitals.

As Li Shimin guessed, when these people in the court were still waiting for Liu Mu to continue talking, Liu Mu had already returned to Wenyue Pavilion to listen to the play.

The Taiji Hall did not wait for Liu Mu to come back, and Duan Lun, the princess of Gaomi, asked to face the saint.

Duan Lun was reorganized by Li Jiancheng before losing the position of Taishou in Bashu, after Li Jiancheng lost power, with the help of Chai Shao, Liu Mu and others, he was reappointed as the ambassador of Jiannan Province, and Bashu further south was the land of the Southern Barbarians.

Duan Lun had no intention of being an official, so he took Yang Shidao to Bashu together. Over the years, he has liked to read and study history. I don't like to deal with people, I prefer to practice behind closed doors, and I have already planned to resign more than once.

After Li Shimin allowed Duan Lun to go to the palace, he saw that Duan Lun was wearing a Taoist robe instead of an official uniform.

"You ......" Li Shimin was so angry that he didn't know what to say.

Duan Lun took a few steps ahead: "Sage, I am not here to resign this time, but to do a big thing on behalf of Jiannan Dao." After this matter is done, I can resign with peace of mind, and then go to study and learn from Liu Mu. ”

"Bastard, you, you." Li Shimin knew very well why Duan Lun became like this.

He brought more than 10,000 people and horses to join when Emperor Li Yuan raised troops, and made great contributions. Then he led the troops to Bashu alone, and after pacifying Bashu, Li Jiancheng found countless excuses and reasons to bite him.

After being dismissed, Duan Lun was in a rather bad mood, and then met Liu Mu.

Originally, Li Shimin asked Liu Mu to persuade Duan Lun, and Liu Mu also successfully let Duan Lun out of the shadows, but Liu Mu made Duan Lun fall into madness with a telescope, and then continued to read and study knowledge, and he had no intention of being an official at all.

"Okay. What do you say you're going to do for Jiannan Province? Li Shimin couldn't blame Duan Lun, after all, Duan Lun didn't do anything wrong.

"Sage, the minister has heard of something. Tanzhou wants to set up an economic envoy, and then the Xigang shipping company wants to purchase a large number of things. I'm Bashu, no! I, Jiannan Province, would like to provide 1 million porcelain vases, 100,000 pieces of linen, and 10,000 quintals of tea......"
