Li Yuan arranged for the concubines of the harem to stay in Halong Bay, and Dugu Lanruo arranged it on his behalf.

"Yes!" Dugu Lanruo never expected Li Yuan to come here, and she also brought a concubine with a title in the palace, and after simply answering a yes, she didn't know what to say.

Li Yuan didn't say anything more, and took Liu Mu to get on Feng Zhiji's boat, and the other boat sent Wan Guifei and others to get off the boat here.

The rest of the ships turned around and went to Fanggang with Li Yuan.

In the cabin, Li Yuan said to Liu Mu: "May 18, the second year of Yuanji's sacrifice day, Jiancheng wants to kill me, and he also wants to kill Erlang." Originally, I thought that his courage was to force the palace at most, but I thought that he was going to kill me. ”

Li Yuan's tone carried a hint of ridicule, no anger, and no sadness.

Yanagi sat down and didn't speak, not knowing what to say at this time.

Li Yuan asked again: "You knew it before?" ”

"Erchen doesn't know."

"You, don't know?" Li Yuan asked.

Liu Mu said softly: "Erchen really doesn't know, but anyone with a discerning eye can see clearly, the crown prince and the king of Qin can only live one, and the one who failed is estimated to have no family to live." ”

"That's a good word, it's a pity ......" Li Yuan didn't continue, he originally wanted to say that it was a pity that he didn't see this. The words came to his lips and swallowed back, and he changed his words and said, "Why do you want to go south." ”

"My eldest brother-in-law can't go, and Chang'an no longer has a general with a top beam. I can't do anything left, and this kind of thing can't just be a matter between two people, a matter between two different interest groups. Historically, there have been several emperors whose origins for the throne are impeccable. ”

Li Yuan didn't refute, Liu Mu's words were reasonable.

It was the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, and they also fought for it, either by themselves or with the help of others.

"That's it, let's not talk about Chang'an, how is it here?" Li Yuan stopped discussing the topic of Chang'an, he had originally come to relax, so he didn't want to mention Chang'an anymore.

"Father, the sky is high here, and the emperor is far away." Liu Mu began with this forbidden sentence, but Li Yuan was quite approving, yes, this is indeed the Tiangao Emperor Yuan.

From Chang'an to here, if you come by land, you may not be able to get here in three months.

From Lingnan to Chang'an, not only is the transportation inconvenient, but also the information is quite blocked.

"Does Feng Ang have a heart of disobedience?"

"He doesn't have it, but others don't necessarily don't."

Li Yuan nodded: "I have heard rumors before that my father wants him to be the king of Lingnan. I happened to meet Feng Ang this time. Tell me about what you're doing here. ”

"Father, it's better to wait until you meet Feng An."

"Okay." Li Yuan reluctantly agreed.

Harbor defense.

Hearing that the Tang Emperor had come to Lingnan in person, Feng Ang immediately rushed to Fanggang to greet him.

"The saint is above, and the minister Feng Ang wishes the saint blessings to the four seas and ten thousand years of peace." Feng Ang knelt down on one knee on the dock and gave a big salute, which was an extremely heavy salute when he landed on his knees in the Tang Dynasty, and he didn't need to kneel even if he met the emperor in ordinary times.

Li Yuan took two steps forward and stretched out his hand to help Feng Ang up: "I have heard of the name of Aiqing for a long time, and it is indeed majestic when I see it today. ”

"Minister, panic!"

"Let's go, take me here." Li Yuan commanded.

Feng Ang got up but smiled awkwardly: "I don't know what ministers are here, everything is arranged by Liu Yuma." ”

"He ......" Li Yuan pointed to the willow wood: "He is not at ease in Halong Bay." ”

"Father, I am not at ease, but thinking about how to make the lives of the people of Lingnan better. Thinking hard is harder than selling coolies. Liu Mu hurriedly defended himself.

Li Yuan didn't expose the willow wood, but just ordered: "Take me to have a look." ”

There is a small workshop area here in Fanggang, which is pitiful compared to Liumu's workshop area in the four northern counties of Chang'an, but it is the first real workshop area in Jiaozhi County that is higher than a small family workshop.

When Tang Emperor Li Yuan came here, Feng Ang had already sent four hundred soldiers to clean up the surrounding idle people.

But just like that, there were many, many people around the perimeter of the soldiers.

Li Yuan looked around, didn't ask, and motioned for Liu Mu to take him into the workshop.

In the first area, there was water vapor here, and there were big stoves burning everywhere, which made this already hot place even hotter, and Li Yuan was wet with sweat all over his body after just standing for a while.

A craftsman carried a basket to a shady place, bowed and retreated.

Liu Mu placed the porcelain vases on the long table: "Father, these are not yet named." Spicers from the palace are trying to squeeze all the flowers, grasses, roots, barks, branches, and fruits that can be seen into essential oils, which are not finished products and need to be further processed in larger workshops. ”

Essential oils are both spices and herbs.

The Taoist priests of the Tang Dynasty have several ways to figure out the medicinal value of each essential oil, but not here, most of the people with this technology are in Chang'an.

Li Yuan smelled each porcelain vase, and it can be said that the fragrance is different, but it feels like it is a good spice.

"Ready to be transported to Chang'an?" Li Yuan asked.

"Well, that's how it was planned. But it's going to take a process, it's not a workshop, it's just a testing workshop, and after a while a tender will start for the average small merchant to bid for one of them, or several recipes, and then actually start mass production. ”

Li Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

Liu Mu said again: "At present, the spice business in Chang'an City is almost monopolized by Persian merchants, and it is better to keep this money in Datang than to let Persian merchants make money." ”

"Very good."

Next, Ma Fang.

Different bananas are still being experimented with in the hope of finding the highest yielding and highest-quality banana varieties.

Feng Ang said to Li Yuan: "Sage, Brother Mu and I look at these bananas the same, there are some capable people here, who can divide these bananas into ten numbers, and even say that the bananas are divided into male and female, which sounds very interesting." Under the heavy reward, it will definitely make talented people work hard. ”

"Yes, that's a good point." Li Yuan couldn't help but praise.

Li Yuan picked up a few pieces of trial weaving cloth, and then compared one of them on Liu Mu's body: "This hemp can already be woven like yarn, and it is very soft. But the dyeing is not good, and this seems to have to be studied a little more. ”

"Father, please come here." Liu Mu took Li Yuan to the side again.

There are many people digging holes and burying grass here.

Liu Mu introduced: "They buried these grasses and fermented them, and then a hundred catties of grass can be made into about three catties of blue. Further south, there are countless grasses and flowers. At present, it is known that there are five colors of dyes in blue, blue, yellow, red, and purple. ”
