"Yuan Fu, Mao Bowen is calm with his troops, coercing with the general situation, it seems that he does not need a single soldier, but in fact, he is calculating everywhere, and the subordinate officials think that this person is worthy of a great responsibility."

Zhang Jing rarely praises people, he himself is Wang Yue's army background, proficient in combat, but he still admires the master who can win without fighting.

Wang Yue also nodded in admiration, "With the minimum price, in exchange for the maximum benefit, this is the principle of our foreign use of troops, Mao Bowen should be rewarded...... But for the time being, let's wait. ”

Zhang Jing frowned, if you have merit, you will be rewarded, why wait?

Wang Yue smiled, "He is a literati, and he can even fight well, how can he govern a bad place?" ”

Zhang Jing was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed: "Yuanfu, you want to hand over the matter of governing North Korea to Mao Bowen?" ”

"Those who can work hard...... There is still a problem between the two sides, if it can be properly eliminated and the DPRK can be smoothly incorporated into the Ming Dynasty, the merit is immeasurable! Wang Yue was full of expectations, he really wanted to see how many surprises this traditional civil official Mao Bowen could bring him!

……

At this moment, Mao Bowen is still stationed at sea and has not been stationed in Seoul. He also strictly restrained his subordinates from intruding on the people. If it is necessary to purchase military grain and grass, they will also send specialists, log in for procurement, settle according to the market price, and never default.

Tens of thousands of troops, people eat horses and chew, it is by no means a small number. Moreover, the Ming army was generous and arrogant, and several coastal bazaars appeared in Incheon and other places.

Compared with Cui Shilin's previous questioning of the troops, the momentum was huge, and everyone was scared, and Mao Bowen could be called moisturizing and silent.

He just asked Jin Huan to deliver the news for himself, the lord of North Korea wanted to see him, Mao Bowen refused, he was in charge of military affairs, as for the arrears owed by North Korea to the Ming Dynasty, he had to wait for the court ruling, and special officials had to come.

Mao Bowen strictly abides by his duties as a courtier, and he doesn't do anything out of the ordinary.

But he didn't do anything either...... Instead, he summoned many powerful forces from all over North Korea, including the big families who controlled the situation of the dynasty, as well as ordinary wealthy families, and Mao Bowen did not refuse to come.

"Lord Shangguo, turn into a foreign pariah, have sincerity from the bottom of your heart, and want to play!" A middle-aged wealthy businessman knelt down and kowtowed.

Mao Bowen smiled, "Get up, just say what you have to say, you don't need so much courtesy in private." ”

Mao Bowen smiled and personally supported him, which made the rich businessman even more grateful, and he even wiped his tears excitedly.

"Lord Shangguo, the monarch of our country, arrogant and bold, talking about Shangguo a lot in private, his words are not inferior, and he harbors evil intentions!"

It's actually a complaint!

Mao Bowen remained silent and said with a smile: "What did he say?" ”

He said Chengzu...... With a single mistake, it is very impossible to kill the minister, without pretending. It is also said that he believes in Buddhism and is not the emperor's virtue. ”

Mao Bowen frowned, Zhu Di took over the world with Jingjing, and indeed killed a lot of people, it would be a big mistake to say that he favored Buddhism. Maybe it's because of Yao Guangxiao's problem that this misunderstanding occurred.

It's just that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is not the turn of the Korean vassals to talk about it!

"What else did he say?" Mao Bowen asked with a frown.

The rich businessman kowtowed, "He, he also said that Xuanzong is prosperous and unkempt, isn't it a beautiful thing?" He also said, and said that when the son is good for his own use today, everything in the world will be governed, and if there is a person who speaks out, he will be punished heavily, and everyone will be forbidden......"

Syllable!

Mao Bowen slammed the table and was furious!

"Just a vassal country, slandering the Celestial Empire, it is simply a kingless and fatherless, and it is bold!"

"That's it, that's it!" Seeing that Mao Bowen was angry, the rich businessman immediately said: "It is really appropriate for the country to ask for the crime, the lord of the country, as well as the two classes of nobles, should be arrested, tortured, and all beheaded and punished...... As it is, the Korean people are grateful! ”

Mao Bowen felt this person's eagerness, and couldn't help but chuckle, "Why do you hate your monarch so much, could it be that there is any other reason?" ”

"This ......" the rich merchant paused, and finally spoke...... In the not vast land of Korea, there is a much more stubborn family power than the Central Plains.

North Korea also has a imperial examination system, but I'm sorry, this imperial examination has completely become a toy for the nobles of the family, a poor commoner, and there is no chance at all.

How to describe it, the problems that Daming has, North Korea has, and it is ten times more serious, more than a hundred times...... At the end of the day, this is the disadvantage of being a small area.

Taking Daming as an example, although the scholars in Jiangnan are powerful, they can't cover the sky with one hand, and Jiangxi, Huguang, Henan, and even Shanxi, the talents in these places can restrain Jiangnan.

Look at the Shang Gang again, Jin Shang is amazing, right?

But there are also Hui merchants, Su merchants, Fujian and Zhejiang merchants, who can compete.

The Ming Emperor could balance calmly and unhurriedly in a broader space area. Basically, as long as the means are not too bad, the general situation can be stabilized, so that the imperial power will not fall and the country will not get out of control.

But when it comes to North Korea, the situation is no longer good.

Due to the small size of the country, there was no room for maneuver, and after the establishment of the Li Dynasty, there was soon a confrontation between the civil and military classes.

The Korean scholars and nobles also have the right to tax exemption.

They frantically annexed land and grabbed wealth.

Moreover, they intermarried with each other, lived and multiplied, making the two classes prosperous, and the number was amazing. These nobles have mastered land, education, wealth, officialdom, and even monarchs......

So North Korea has really not changed much since ancient times, and the upper echelons will always be so people. Originally, it was called two classes of aristocrats, but later it became a chaebol group.

If you change the soup or not the medicine, the bottom will always be the most oppressed group of people.

What's even more terrifying is knowing that he is being squeezed, but he has no hope of change.

When looking at the Central Plains Dynasty, people will say that the bureaucratic tradition, which stretches for thousands of years, sounds like a very backward thing...... But in the long history, you will find that the bureaucracy is really an advanced thing!

There are many places that want bureaucracy, but they can't do it!

Just like the feudal aristocracy that exists widely in the West, they have supreme power in their territory, and even the king cannot directly meddle in the territory of the nobles.

This raises the question that after Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in the West decided to raise troops, all they could call on was the common people in the same area. In the same way, they rebelled against only the local nobility.

The people in other areas will not care about their actions at all, and there will be no situation where there will be a situation where there will be a hundred calls and smoke everywhere...... On the contrary, the noble lords of various places can communicate with each other, share the same hatred, unite to suppress the common crisis.

Because of this, the peasant uprisings in the West were not successful at all.

Not to mention the peasant uprising, even if it is a unified kingdom war, it will be because it touches the interests of too many countries, and in the face of the joint efforts of all countries, you can resist once or twice, and then there will be three or four times, five times and six times...... The result is self-evident.

North Korea was influenced by the Central Plains, and there was a imperial examination system, and there was still a little room for mobility...... But I'm sorry, that's all, it's better than nothing.

Since the Ming Dynasty crusaded against Korea, it demanded the return of the stolen territory and compensation for the losses.

The lord of North Korea, two classes of nobles, frantically oppressed the people at the bottom, and tried every means to loot ...... It's just that the North Korean people don't have anything left, and no matter how they squeeze it, they can't get much oil and water.

What is even more ironic is that under the banner of indemnity, the two classes of nobles filled their pockets and quickly increased their strength.

Want to avoid harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes? If you want, give us the land as soon as possible, sell yourself into slavery, and act as tenants...... Otherwise, a huge tax will fall on your head, and this money will be enough to ruin your family and never recover.

Judging from the situation in the past seven years, the land of the top nobility of North Korea has doubled.

This is no longer a desperate situation for the common people, even some small and medium-sized landlords, ordinary businessmen and wealthy people, have been swept away and turned into their rations.

"Lord Shangguo, in addition to the lord of the country, there are only a few families left in Korea, such as the Yi family, the Park family, and the Zheng family...... None of the others will survive! ”

"I see!"

Mao Bowen nodded, pondered for a moment, and said with a smile: "This official is only ordered to crusade against the traitorous king, and other things are not within my authority...... However, my tens of thousands of people also need some staff...... I'm going to hold an exam and recruit children from poor families, what do you think? ”

"Ahh The wealthy businessman was shocked, "My lord, you, are you going to open the imperial examination?" ”

"Hahaha!" Mao Bowen smiled, "It's not about the imperial examination, it's just looking for hundreds of poor people who are willing to do things for the Ming Dynasty." ”

The rich businessman kowtowed excitedly, "Lord Shangguo, the Korean Hanmen, all of them are willing to do things for Daming!" All of them are willing! ”

Mao Bowen bowed his head, he turned and went to the back, and when he reappeared, he had a few more notices stamped with his big seal in his hand, and sent them to the merchant's hand with a smile.

"You can help arrange it, post it everywhere, and tell the North Korean people...... You tell them two things, first, Da Ming is not limited to his background, as long as he has talent, he will be hired. Second, the old man was ordered to go on the expedition, and he was able to appoint some officials and give him a farewell, but he was not in the grade, and he had to wait for the permission of the officials, remember not to be rampant, do you understand? ”

"Understood, understood! Not to mention the clerks, even if you can become a lackey of Daming, you will be happy! ”
