Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Strategist

The next day, Qin Mu was called to the study by Pu Yuxing to test how divine Qin Mu was.

Qin Mu walked in and found that Pu Yuxing was writing something.

Seeing Qin Mu coming, he directly handed the pen to Qin Mu.

"What is this for?"

"Write as much as you want."

Seeing words is like seeing people, Pu Yuxing wants to preliminarily judge Qin Mu's character through writing.

Qin Mu picked up the pen and hesitated for a long time before starting to write.

After a while, a clean piece of rice paper became a ghost drawing, and the words on it were all in one, and it was disorganized.

Park Yuxing gritted his teeth, "What a waste of paper!" He then crumpled the paper and threw it on the ground.

Qin Mu has never written calligraphy, so he naturally can't grasp the strength, and besides, the words he writes are not good-looking, and compared with the ancients, his level is not even as good as that of a child.

"Master Park, let's talk about business, I don't like writing or anything, I can't just look at writing and you can see a person's talent, right?"

"Hmph, okay, I'll give you a brief introduction to the current situation in Silla, the current king is a ten-year-old child, and the real ruler of the whole country is the saint of the previous generation."

It seems that no matter how small the country is, it can't avoid the tradition of the dynasty, after all, the entire subcultural circle is formed around the Tang Dynasty.

"The main prefectures of Silla are Silla City, Ganghwa, Jina, Gwangju, Pyongyang, Gyeongju, Gimhae, and each province, and the most powerful is Lee Won-hyeong, the king of Gwangju in Gwangju, and the second largest king is Jeon You-ji in Gimhae, and Park Woo-sung in Ganghwa."

After hearing this, Qin Mu nodded, "Why is your Jianghua Mansion the weakest?" ”

"There is the least arable land here, most of the people make a living from fishing, and most of the annual tax revenue is salted fish, which cannot be exchanged for real money at all."

"Since you are close to the sea, why don't you try to develop maritime trade, you can trade with Datang and turn Jianghua City into a port city." Qin Mu analyzed.

It is the natural geographical condition of modern society, and most of the prosperous cities of modern society are very close to the sea.

"It's light to say, Silla has to have something that the Tang Dynasty looks at, there may not be enough food here, let alone doing business, how can you make goods without skills."

Speaking of which, Park Yuxing was secretly sad, he also tried to introduce technology to develop the ceramic industry, but there is very little clay for making porcelain here.

Qin Mu touched his chin and instantly made a difficulty, what do you want, if you want to develop business, it is as difficult as the sky.

"I don't think you should be limited to your own back cover, although Silla is not big, it is not impossible to develop business."

"Other kings are not willing to sell what they have, and even if they don't use it, they won't let me do anything, which is one of the reasons why I invited you to come."

Qin Mu thought for a moment, "Have you ever heard of blackmailing the Son of Heaven to order the princes?" ”

"You're talking about Cao Cao, that's because he has military power to do this, the troops under my command are only a few thousand, and most of them are government soldiers, and only a few hundred people can be mobilized."

Qin Mu walked back and forth in the room, poor and white, and if he wanted to seek development, he could only think of starting with the so-called holy woman.

"Are these three kings on the side of the saint now?"

"No, they are eyeing each other, arrogant and domineering above the court, the saintess can actually do very little, she is not as vigorous and resolute as the Empress Wu, the Silla saintess relies on her loyalty to the Tang Dynasty and the son of the former king to barely control the kings in various places."

"Since they don't do it, then from now on, you can help more saints, be a supporter, be a loyal minister, and gain their trust."

Pu Yuxing sneered, "How good am I at you, if this road can be taken, why am I looking for you?" The saint had a great prejudice against me, and even if I wanted to surrender, she would not accept it. ”

"How do you know if you haven't tried? He is a woman who controls the government, and there are no available people under him, and it is not too late to surrender to Cheng now, you can put down all your face, and it is the right thing to earn money to expand the army first. ”

If you don't have money or food, how can you grab land with others.

Park Yuxing didn't care, let him kneel and lick the old woman, it was better to rebel directly, the Silla saintess was not very capable, but she learned all the stinky problems of the martial queen.

When the Tang Dynasty built the Ming Hall, she followed the Xiaoming Hall, and the Empress Wu raised the face to help her do things, and the saint raised the face for her own fun.

"Qin Mu, I can't do this, the eldest husband should have Xiang Yu's heroic spirit between heaven and earth, and Liu Bang's cunning can make things happen."

"The eldest husband can bend and stretch, have you heard of it, and besides, Xiang Yu is a loser in the end, why do you learn from him? Just because you are both from noble backgrounds, if you want to learn from Liu Bang, you should honestly go to the saint and ask him to give you something to develop business. ”

Qin Mu can see that these descendants of the nobles always can't let go, restrain themselves, and delusionally think that they can win through positive means, in fact, as long as they can win, they must use any means to be the real profit-seekers.

"So what kind of business are you going to develop?" Park Yuxing asked.

Qin Mu thought about it for a long time, Yelan Rumor couldn't do it, as for ceramics, silk, and tea, there was nothing in Silla at all, and even if there were, it was much more expensive than Datang's, and it was impossible to do anything to lose money and make money.

"Spices! We make spices. ”

"But there are no such things in Jianghua City, and they can't be planted at all!"

"You will be mistaken, I am not talking about the spices I eat but the spices used, I have a set of skills for refining perfumes, as long as you have flowers and plants in Jianghua City, you can make perfumes."

Park Woo-sung suddenly realized, "The whole Silla has hibiscus, mint, azaleas, wisteria, and sunflowers. ”

"Sunlight flowers, do they grow like the sun?"

Park Yuxing nodded.

Qin Mu grinned, this is easy to do, the rapeseed oil is available, and the stir-fry will be settled in the future.

"You immediately send someone to find all these flowers, and the whole Silla flowers are either picked or bought."

Park Yuxing asked puzzledly: "Are you sure this method is feasible?" These things just take time, because no one takes them seriously, and they are always available in the mountains. ”

"Believe it or not, since there is no loss, why are you so afraid of wasting your efforts? I know you don't have confidence in this new product, you know? That's what I did. "Intimacy is full of confidence when it comes to this.

"Okay, I'll trust you for once, don't let me down."

Qin Mu found that Pu Yuxing was too insecure, and if he didn't have enough energy, even if he was a prince in this life, there was no hope of being an emperor.

"Do you like pickles here?"

Qin Mu was shocked by the food last night, thinking that the kimchi of modern Han was unpalatable enough, but the black wild vegetable kimchi on the table yesterday was bitter and salty, astringent and difficult to swallow, and it was not something that people ate at all.

"It's normal that you're not used to eating, those dishes are pickled with sea salt, we don't have much food here in winter, so we can only pickle the excess vegetables in the summer and wait until the winter to eat."

Qin Mu rolled his eyes, "This thing is really unpalatable, you have to promise me a condition, don't serve me this thing in the future, I will cook and eat it myself in the future."

Also, go and call the blacksmiths of the city, and I will personally instruct them to make stoves and make perfumes. ”

"That's fine."

With previous experience, although the blacksmiths in Jianghua City are not as good as those in Luoyang, no matter how stupid they are, they can still build the furnace and distillation machine they want.

When the raw materials were ready, Qin Mu instructed everyone to start refining the essential oil of hibiscus flowers.

At the same time, a high concentration of alcohol mint is extracted.

After everything was extracted, Qin Mu began to make the ingredients.

Xiaoqing worked beside him and tested the record little by little according to the previous process.

Half a month later, the first bottle of perfume in history was born.

Qin Mu took the results and found Pu Yuxing.

He looked at it for a long time and sniffed it, and the pungent smell of the perfume made him a little dizzy.

"Are you sure it's spices! Does this smell more like a strong bar? ”

"There is no basis for the words, if the qin comes in."

Ruoqin walked in slowly, and Park Yuxing instantly felt a faint fragrance of flowers coming to his face, which reminded him of the smell of hibiscus flowers in the garden when he was a child.

"Well, that's good."

Qin Mu walked to Ruoqin's hand and fanned the wind a few times with his hand, smelling the smell of Ruoqin's body, and instantly felt relaxed, making him feel the urge to immediately pounce on Ruoqin.

It is indeed true that perfume can arouse male desire.

"With this, you are still worried that you will not be able to make money, so you have to sell a bottle for fifty taels of silver."

"How much!" Park Yuxing's eyes lit up.

"Sell to the far west, a hundred taels are possible."

The Western body smell is famous, the royal family over there is not as good as the royal family of the Tang Dynasty, they are all city-states, and the food is more unrestrained, so the body odor is very heavy, and the top note of this perfume is a strong mint alcohol taste, the alcohol volatilizes in the middle stage and becomes a light mint flavor, and the base note is a faint cut like hibiscus flowers.

Qin Mu felt that the right was really a good thing for a while, how much thought he had put into making a soap, now that he had a lot of people, he could command as much as he wanted, and he didn't have to pay for it, to be precise, Qin Mu could call the people in this city.

Park Yuxing took the perfume and asked excitedly, "What's its name?" ”

Qin Mu looked at Ruoqin, "How about calling Ruo Jin's love?" ”

"What does Ruojin's love mean?"

"We borrowed Li Ruo's name, Li Ruo was a princess, after the defeat of the king, Li Ruo fled to a foreign land, met the simple and kind Wang Jin, he took in Li Ruo to help her heal, and at the same time helped her evade the pursuing soldiers so that the two fell in love, and finally the king counterattacked and defeated the rebels and returned to the throne to take back the princess, but the princess had already secretly promised, so she escaped from the palace and Wang Jin's private meeting, the king was furious when he knew, and the eyes of Wang Jin and the princess were blinded, and at the same time the princess was demoted to a commoner. So that the two will never find each other. ”

Ruoqin asked eagerly, "Did they finally find each other?" ”

The princess liked hibiscus and took a job as a gardener, and one day a blind man begged in a garden, smelled the familiar scent, and asked tentatively, "Is that you?" Ruo'er. "Li Ruo, who was pruning flowers and plants, couldn't cry anymore when he heard the familiar voice, and the tears hitting the petals contributed to this Ruojin love." Qin Mu said slowly.
