Liu Muxin said, you deduct five times this side is also a huge profit. Even if you run a round trip in half a year, the profit is also very amazing.

But there is another meaning, Liu Mu doesn't quite understand.

The meaning of the Ministry of Rites is obviously Li Shimin's meaning, I am afraid that these people will lose the face of the Tang Dynasty when they go out, so they must study first. But a merchant is a merchant, and these people are not there to be envoys.

This point Liu Mu can not say to anyone, but can only recognize.

Moreover, the Ministry of War also specifically demanded that those who are disabled due to non-meritorious service are not allowed to engage in employment, participate in shares, or share profits.

When everyone dispersed, Liu Mu suddenly reacted, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin was not restricting his own caravans, nor was he trying to deduct a little tax.

The real reason should be that the family has broken off the way of taking the caravan.

Du Ruhui is worthy of being Li Shimin's absolute confidant, as soon as Li Shimin opened his mouth, he understood the meaning of Li Shimin's words, and he was really clever.

Liu Mu came out of the Taiji Palace, but he didn't expect Du Ruhui to be waiting for him outside the palace gate.

The two walked side by side, and Du Ruhui said to Liu Mu: "The matter of the far-traveling caravan may not be a good thing. Ancient books record that caravans going west always accompanied many large and small merchants, and few traveled alone. The smallest number of caravans heading west was more than 3,000 men. ”

"Yes." Liu Mu didn't quite understand what Du Ruhui meant.

Du Ruhui said again: "Today you are right, now is not the time for the saint to be the king of Qin, now what is there to talk about on the surface, when it comes to the court, it can't be done or not, there will always be a saying that doing anything in private will cause chaos." Finally, the royal and gate valves reached a balance that could not be broken. ”

Liu Mu asked, "What do you mean by Duke Du today, isn't it the matter of letting the family give up the caravan." ”

"No, I believe I think the same thing as the saint. This caravan is a deal in your words, and this trade is of great use, and you use it simply. This usage is that those who shed blood can be used as a reward, and the wealthy families need to pay for the ship's number, the only thing that puzzles me is that you seem to think that there will not be too much danger at sea. ”

Du Ruhui's words surprised Liu Mu again, and it seemed that he still didn't think deeply enough.

To Du Ruhui's question, Liu Mu replied: "The sea is not safe, and the waves on the sea can be as high as several zhang or ten zhang. Not to mention a boat, even a stone can be broken. But there are two advantages to going on sea over land, one is that no one can easily grab our ship at sea. Second, the new ship is designed for the ocean. ”

"I see, then I think it is more appropriate to sell the ship's number, and whoever owns the ship will be exiled at least and beheaded at worst. Datang does not allow private ships to go to sea, private ships will break the rules, and private ships may be stolen. ”

"Du Gong is clever." Liu Mu really admired, Du Ruhui had never been to sea, and he didn't know the Age of Discovery, but his idea of the ship was firmly grasped to the core.

If you control the boat, you can control the sea.

Du Ruhui said again: "The Divine Strategy Hidden Guard was created by you, and the sage did not cut off your position as a Divine Secret Guard. You go to the Shence Hidden Guard and ask them to report a list, this is the reward of the saints for their bloody efforts, how many boats do you think is appropriate for the first batch? ”

"Seven to ten, the fleet travels to take care of each other, and valuable cargo cannot be placed on the same boat. Of course, the route is familiar, the sea is familiar, and a single boat can travel far. ”

After Liu Mu finished speaking, he asked again: "Du Gong seems to be able to guess the opinion of the sage." ”

"Wrong, the will of God cannot be guessed. But I have been in the Qin Palace, and I know the way of the sage. Don't enter the palace alone these days, the last time you talked with the saint for half a month, this matter allowed the court to guess for half a year. For now, it is good, at least I can say to a few ministers that they are planning for this silver mine. ”

Yanagi understood.

Now Li Shimin is not the King of Qin in the era of King Qin, but the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and he often discusses this kind of thing behind closed doors, which will indeed make the courtiers speculate.

Du Ruhui said again: "You can enter the palace, you can face the saint, but you can't close the door, I also suggested this to the saint." ”

Liu Mu asked in a low voice, "Do you know what Gong Du said to the saint last time?" ”

Du Ruhui smiled: "Isn't it just a silver mine!" ”

"Yes, that is, the silver mines."

Du Ruhui cleverly let Liu Mu throw his five bodies to the ground, and Liu Mu wanted to be Du Ruhui's assistant for a year, and study beside Du Ruhui well.

After separating from Du Ruhui, Liu Mu went to Wenyue Pavilion.

Originally, Liu Mu wanted to rename the main hall of the Prince's Mansion Wenxing Pavilion, but after marrying Xie Xing'er, this name was very helpless and was abandoned, so he had to be called Wentian Pavilion.

Li Shimin likes this name very much, and he can hear the voice of the sky, which is good.

In Wenyue Pavilion, Baoqin has gathered many people in the green forest who have contributed to the Tang Dynasty, these people not only have meritorious deeds, but also each of them has suffered a lot of injuries.

In Datang, severed limbs and eye injuries are all serious injuries. Deafness and a stump were serious injuries. Those who have suffered fatal injuries and decreased mobility and combat power are considered minor injuries.

When Yanagi entered, even those who had lost a leg stood up.

Everyone clasped their fists: "Second collar." ”

"Hello everyone." Liu Mu returned the salute with a fist.

After everyone sat down, Liu Mu spoke: "I think that Baoqin has already told everyone about the matter, and now the saint has reluctantly agreed to this request, but has set some rules. The military department must have a record to verify the meritorious service and disability value. The Ministry of Industry also has to file for the record, and the record is for the ship. ”

The crowd did not speak, but listened quietly.

Liu Mu continued: "The Ministry of Rites is the most troublesome, requiring everyone who goes to sea, especially the chief level, to study in the Ministry of Rites for a period of time. After all, it is tens of thousands of miles overseas, and the Ministry of Etiquette does not want anyone to lose the majesty of Datang, the etiquette of Datang, and the bearing of Datang. Thank you for your understanding. ”

A one-eyed hero who had lost his left hand and right leg said loudly: "This is reasonable, if you don't go like me, it's not very decent." ”

"Brother Wu, you once dominated Xiangzhou with two knives, this hand and foot were thrown on the grassland, your majesty is still there, you estimate that the kid with one leg and one knife may not dare to fight with you, my eldest brother-in-law said that he was defeated in your hands back then, and no one dares to despise Brother Wu, your prestige."

The hero surnamed Wu laughed heartily: "Uncle Bao was only seventeen years old at the time, and that defeat was not a defeat, and I was not a victory." ”

Liu Mu said again: "However, you really can't travel far, there is a job I hope you will take, this matter will be talked about later, for now let's talk about the ocean." ”

Everyone laughed and asked Yanagi to continue.

"Then, this time the household department is black-hearted, how much money you buy for a piece of silk, you have to pay how much taxes to the household department. Boats can only be rented but not bought, renting a boat for 1,000 a year, and if the ship is destroyed, it will pay 2,000 yuan. The price is black, but it's worth it. If you run an ocean and a boat does not have a net profit of 100 gold, it is a joke. ”
