Section 0870 Turning the face
In the back hall, Cui Yiyan asked Liu Mu: "You have broken off the business of Juqi Mountain City." β
"Wrong, hand over the goods to the Baekje merchants and Goguryeo merchants. Let them go to Silla to make money, I would like to see if this old man Park has the courage to stop the merchants of Goguryeo, you must know that the merchants of Goguryeo are the dogs of the two classes of nobles. β
"That's right. In addition to being more troublesome, the income may not be affected. Cui Yiyan approved of Liu Mu's idea. Then Cui Yiyan said: "The Park family took out two cities, which means reconciliation." β
Liu Mu shook his head: "Wrong, a nobleman who is not recognized by my Datang is not a nobleman, and the king of a small state who is not recognized by my Datang is a pseudo-king, and he is embarrassed to have two cities, too little." β
Cui Yiyan sighed heavily, he knew that Liu Mu was not wrong.
Liu Mu said again: "Believe me, the result may not be a bad thing, maybe there is something interesting." β
"Funny?" Cui Yiyan held his chin and thought for a while, then nodded slightly: "Maybe it's really funny." If the goods were handed over to the Baekje merchants and Goguryeo merchants, then Silla would be purely suppressed, and it is difficult to say what interesting things would happen after a long time. β
"I don't want to guess what the interesting things will be, but there will definitely be hatred between the Silla nobles and the Goguryeo nobles. The hatred of cutting off people's financial means is very heavy. β
Cui Yiyan nodded again: "I plan this matter, maybe it can work wonders." I will let the whole peninsula know about today's events and the contradictions between you and Brother Park Tai. β
"Actually, there is not so much nonsense, a matter of face."
When Liu Mu talked about the problem of face, Cui Yiyan nodded solemnly: "Yes, it is a problem of face." β
It was the Silla Park clan that provoked the trouble, causing the Silla queen Jindeman who was supported by Yoo Mu to lose nine-tenths of the country, and then the Silla Park clan forcibly supported a child in the Kim clan's branch house, and the discerning person knew the ambition of the Silla Park clan at a glance.
So this hatred is on the surface.
Since the face is torn, there is nothing to scruple about.
The next day, Yanagi did not shy away from meeting with several guests, who had been hoping to have a conversation with someone with status in the castle.
Before meeting with these guests, Baoqin handed over the information of these people to Yanagi.
"Lang Jun, they are all inferior people. They also need to be eliminated for Jindeman, these people are entrenched in the mountains and forests, and they call themselves the heroes of the green forest. But in our Datang, these people are inferior mountain bandits, and they only deserve to be called bandits. β
There is no half-word good word about these people on Baoqin's information, and it is full of bad comments.
Liu Mu looked at the information, but he didn't care about the origin of these people at all.
"Baoqin, these people don't go into the stream, but they are not waste. There is a saying that the enemies of enemies, even if they are not friends, can use each other. So by arrangement, I'm going to meet them. β
A group of lowly mountain bandits, they only think about one thing, and that is to buy some goods, or exchange some valuable things they have accumulated for goods.
For example, a piece of gold ornament that has been robbed is worthless in their hands, and they can't eat it, and they can't use it.
It was almost impossible to exchange it for grain or cloth in Silla.
In the lacquered mountain city, ordinary small merchants did not dare to exchange those things that were obviously thieves, and low-level military attachΓ©s did not want to stick to this matter.
These people have been outside the city of Juqishan for a long time and have not given up.
Finally, they had a chance to enter the castle of Juqishan.
Only three people were allowed to meet them.
From entering the city, then entering a large mansion, and then entering the garden, before approaching the center of the garden, some of the three bandit leaders were already sitting on the ground because of their weak legs.
Within their line of sight, the elite Tang Army warriors were all murderous.
Just glanced at them sideways, and the sharp eyes made them feel terrified.
When the three thieves arrived in front of the pavilion, they were almost carried and thrown to the ground, and just as one of them was about to stand up, he was beaten in the crook of the leg with a short stick, and he could not kneel.
In the pavilion, Liu Mu put the book aside in his hand and asked, "Do you know who I am?" β
When someone translated it into Silla, the three shook their heads in unison.
"You don't need to know who I am, you just need to be in awe. I heard that you are going to come to Juqi Mountain City to do some small business? β
The three of them immediately untied their backpacks and held them up with both hands.
A guard took the backpack to Liu Mu and untied it, and the backpack was a large sheet wrapped in some items. Liu Mu glanced at it casually, but was startled.
Although he couldn't see anything on his expression, Liu Mu's heart was quite shocked.
Sticks may not be a good thing.
However, during the period of the Three Kingdoms of the Peninsula, there was an object that could definitely be called a high-level national treasure of the Stick Country in later generations.
Gold and bronze statues.
Although the Goguryeo people have nothing to do with sticks, according to the history of the three countries of the peninsula, the gold and bronze Buddha statues were invaluable even at the time.
A bronze gilded Buddha statue about a foot tall requires a top craftsman to make it for more than a year, and the craftsmanship is very complex, and it is a work of art.
There are four statues in front of him, and there are dozens of other gold, silver and bronze handicrafts and ornaments.
"Looks good." Liu Mu said lightly.
The interpreter from the Ministry of Rites beside Yanagi had his eyes slightly closed, and he did not dare to look at the treasures, which were so well made and extremely intricately crafted. On the peninsula, the value of this gold and bronze statue is enormous.
The inside is copper, and the outer gold is covered.
Truly by weight, it is at least twice to five times the weight of gold.
Someone picked up one, but Liu Mu just shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't need to take a closer look.
Liu Mu asked, "I heard that you want to come to Juqi Mountain City to make a trade?" β
"Your honor, we want to make a deal."
"And what do you want?"
"We will ask for what the noble man gives."
These three thieves dare to be a little picky, and as long as they have the opportunity to trade them, they will be content.
Liu Mu turned his head sideways and said to the translator next to him: "Go and pick up some of the ordnance that the Liaodong Border Army has refurbished, remember to take the refurbished ones." β
After a while, two soldiers came carrying four boxes, and after getting Willow's permission, they dumped the contents of the boxes on the ground.
Knife, Don military horizontal knife.
Bow, the military standard wooden bow of the eastern border of Liao.
The armor has been refurbished and mixed with part of the pigskin, and the key parts are inlaid with iron plates.
"Do you want it?" Yanagi asked.
"Yes, yes." The three thieves nodded again and again, if they were to come with another Silla official, they would consider that this was not a temptation or something, so they asked for it directly.
