Chapter 164 My words are better than anything else
Mu Yingchen's anger was gone, but Liu Ruyu's expression looked a little sad.
She gave a wry smile and said: "Young Master Mu, there is no need to explain. The little girl is self-aware. How can Mr. Mu, a good man like me, look down on a merchant's daughter like me?"
Hearing this, Muchuan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
He was about to explain a few words, but Liu Ruyu spoke faster.
"Mr. Mu, I wonder how you want to cooperate with me or the Liu family?"
Seeing that Liu Ruyu was getting into the topic, Muchuan naturally couldn't say anything else, so he just followed Liu Ruyu's questions and answered.
Muchuan said seriously: "That's right, I plan to build a shipping port in Jiaocheng, mainly engaged in commodity transportation."
"But I am a Tang Dynasty person after all, and I don't know much about Baekje, so I want to cooperate with the Liu family."
This is just a superficial statement. In fact, Muchuan's trade is fake, and it is true that soldiers and equipment are transported in the name of trade.
As for the Laoshizi shipping port, it is just a cover. In fact, its true identity is a military garrison.
From now on, the special forces recruits selected by Muchuan will be sent here for unified training.
Liu Ruyu brushed her hair around her ears, but there was a look of confusion on her face.
"Mr. Mu's idea is excellent, but have you ever thought about the risks of shipping and the losses during the voyage?"
"Even your country's fleet can't guarantee that it will be safe and sound this time, right?"
The questions Liu Ruyu pointed out were quite to the point.
Yes, navigation technology in this era was very backward.
Even if the boat is on a big river, it may sink to the bottom, let alone on a sea with a very high risk factor.
However, since Muchuan said this, he naturally has his confidence.
He has already studied the blueprint of the steam engine thoroughly, and it won't take long to manufacture it.
As long as there is a steam engine, ships can abandon the previous manual rowing and switch to more efficient and convenient mechanical drive.
In this way, the ship does not have to worry about the weight problem and can be built more solidly. Even if it encounters strong winds and waves, the possibility of sinking will be greatly reduced.
The most important thing is that in this way, the speed of sailing will be a qualitative leap.
Muchuan smiled faintly and said: "Miss Liu, don't worry, our Mu family has the most advanced navigation technology, and the ships that will be used for trade will not be comparable to the broken ships now."
Hearing this, Liu Ruyu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Broken ship?
As far as she knew, the ship the envoys were on was the most advanced ship in the entire Tang Dynasty, and it was all made of the finest hardwood.
Is such a treasure ship just a broken ship in Muchuan's eyes?
You know, if Baekje had such a ship, the king of Baekje would be able to laugh out of his dreams.
"Miss Liu, don't worry about things at sea. Let's talk about the most important issues."
Muchuan narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Although the two companies are called cooperation, the priorities must be clearly defined."
"Our Mu family can retain the independence of the Liu family, but the Liu family must respect the Mu family in everything."
"In other words, my order is the highest priority order."
Until she heard this, Liu Ruyu didn't have much surprise on her face.
Although her Liu family is the richest man in Jiao City, compared with the Mu family, they are nothing.
Muchuan being able to cooperate with the Liu family is already lucky for the Liu family. How could she dare to expect too much.
Liu Ruyu nodded, "What Mr. Mu said is absolutely true. The Liu family understands this and we will not have any objection."
Muchuan took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and continued: "Miss Liu may not understand what I mean. The highest priority I mean refers to a priority that is higher than the Baekje Imperial Court or even the Tang Dynasty Imperial Court."
."
"!!!"
As soon as these words came out, the expression on Liu Ruyu's face instantly changed to shock.
Even if the priority is higher than that of the Baekje court, it is higher than that of the Tang Dynasty. There is a hint of disrespect for the Tang emperor.
"Why should Miss Liu be surprised?"
Muchuan smiled and said: "Business is naturally our businessmen's business. Those high-ranking officials in the court know nothing about business. They only know how to collect benefits."
"But Mr. Mu said and behaved like this, weren't you afraid of angering Emperor Tang?" Liu Ruyu asked cautiously.
Liu Ruyu is not a dull person. She knows very well that if something goes wrong here, the Mu family may be implicated in the nine clans, and her Liu family is no exception.
Muchuan shook his head and said with a smile: "Miss Liu is so smart that she can't even understand such a trivial matter?"
"Young lady doesn't understand, I hope you can give me some advice."
"When you meet people, you speak human words; when you meet ghosts, you speak ghost words."
Muchuan said nonchalantly: "If the imperial court is really talking nonsense, then why don't we just comply with it on the surface, do some superficial work, and just ignore it in fact?"
"I told you, those high-ranking officials don't know much about business, they are easy to fool."
"..."
Liu Ruyu covered her mouth and couldn't help but take a breath of air.
She never expected that Muchuan would be such a person.
Before that, she had always thought that Muchuan was a great scholar who knew etiquette.
But now it seems that this person does not look like a serious scholar at all.
Muchuan seemed to be drinking tea carelessly, but his eyes were fixed on Liu Ruyu's expression changes.
He doesn't kill women, but if Liu Ruyu's reaction exceeds expectations, he will order Mu Yingchen to clear the place completely.
Compared to one's own comfort, a mere foreign Liu family is nothing.
Even if the Liu family is slaughtered, there will still be Liu family and Niu family.
Muchuan only needs a visible partner and doesn't care whether the partner is useful or not.
At some point, Mu Yingchen also disappeared.
Muchuan knew very well that as long as he moved his fingers, Xiaoying would start harvesting.
I hope things don't come to this.
Muchuan sighed in his heart.
He found that he was becoming more and more cold-blooded, and he was slowly becoming like those big shots who regard human life as a reckless thing.
This is the tragedy of the feudal dynasty.
Thinking of this, the light in Muchuan's eyes became more determined.
In order to change all this, he must complete that grand plan and establish an utopia.
For this reason, Muchuan didn't mind being covered in blood.
"The little lady understands what Mr. Mu means."
Liu Ruyu nodded, "The Liu family will strictly obey Master Mu's instructions. Please rest assured, Master Mu."
Muchuan stared into Liu Ruyu's eyes.
Under Muchuan's "hot" gaze, Liu Ruyu lowered her head shyly.
Seeing this, Muchuan was also a little unsure.
His eyes didn't dodge, and it didn't seem like he was lying to pretend to be calm.
However, for such a smart woman, there is no guarantee that she will not hide her inner fluctuations.
"Miss Liu is a smart person, so she won't do stupid things. Mu is confident about the Liu family."
Muchuan smiled brightly, but he had already made precautionary preparations in his heart.
In this strange era, if you make a slight mistake, your life will be lost.
