Chapter 654, we have a lot to do in North Korea

In the royal palace of Seoul, North Korea.

Today's Seoul Royal Palace has also undergone some repairs, and a large number of glass purchased from the Ming Dynasty has been installed, as a famous tyrant in the history of the Joseon Dynasty.

After Yan Shanjun learned that the Qianqing Palace of the Great Tomorrow was very luxurious and tall, he sent people to the Ming Dynasty to understand it in detail, and then began to break ground and imitate the construction of a small Ming Qianqing Palace in North Korea.

For this reason, it was also opposed by the Korean ministers.

After all, North Korea is not the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty is vast, the national strength is strong, and building a palace or something is not trivial for the Ming Dynasty at all, and the high-rise buildings in Tianjin and Beijing are enough to illustrate this.

But it's a different story with North Korea.

North Korea is a small country, with a small population and weak national strength, so there is no way to say that everything can be learned from the Ming side.

What's more, the Qianqing Palace of the Great Emperor is said to have been built at a cost of millions of taels of silver, not including all kinds of precious decorations inside.

However, Yan Shanjun still ignored the opposition of the ministers and insisted on learning from the Ming Dynasty, and it was necessary to build a North Korean version of the Qianqing Palace, for which the North Korean side also had to import cement, steel bars, glass, tiles and other things to the Ming Dynasty on a large scale.

In fact, the ministers opposed it, but everyone also knew that the Ming Dynasty had a huge influence on the Korean state.

With the development of the Ming maritime trade, and the development of the Ming Dynasty in the eastern Liaodong region, the exchanges between North Korea and the Ming Dynasty were very close, and a large number of merchant ships traveled to and from the Ming Dynasty and North Korea almost every day.

Even in the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea, there are fishing boats of the Ming Dynasty carrying boats and boatloads of marine fish to sell in North Korea, and the price is much more expensive than that of the Ming Dynasty, but because it is meat, the price is cheap, so it is also very popular.

In addition, last year, North Korea signed the agreement of the Ming Sweet Potato State and officially became a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and the two sides also sent envoys to each other.

Here in Seoul, North Korea, a six-story Pang embassy was also built on the Ming side, and all the materials used were transported from the Ming side.

Although the tall embassy has not yet been built, it has already led the atmosphere of the whole of North Korea.

The use of all kinds of glass products has also become a sought-after thing in North Korea.

Although the ministers were opposed, they also used glass windows in their homes one by one, and used all kinds of glass products, especially glass lamps and lanterns, plus whale oil, which were very beautiful and bright, and quickly became popular throughout North Korea.

In addition, in the agreement of the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, the vassal states must respect Confucianism and learn the content of the Ming culture, so many Ming pavilions were built in various parts of Korea, which were specially used to promote the official language of the Ming Dynasty.

All of this has led to the fact that the North Korean side is looking up to the Ming Dynasty, and everything is learning from the Ming Dynasty.

This Yan Shanjun wants to build a palace, which seems to be reasonable.

All aspects of the North Korean version of the Jinluan Palace are made according to the Ming Dynasty, and the appearance is not bad, but the momentum is much more petty.

Yan Shanjun was on the throne, looked at the Korean ministers below and said: "The holy decree of the Great Tomorrow Son has been issued, what do you Aiqing think?" ”

Just as Yin Shi Zhongzhen thought, the Ming side not only recruited samurai from the Wa State, but also recruited samurai from the Korean side, and like the Wa State, the Ming side also issued a holy decree to the Korean State to recruit 5,000 Korean samurai, and the purpose was the same, to clear the natives on Ryukyu Island and Luzon Island.

"Your Majesty, this is a good thing, it shows that the Ming Dynasty attaches great importance to our Korea, and last year the Emperor also rewarded me with two islands in the South Ocean of Korea, among all the vassal states, only my North Korea won this honor."

Yan Shanjun's cousin Ren Shihong, who has always been very trusted, was the first to stand up and say.

"The minister also thinks that this is a good thing, the Ming Dynasty is in the country, the land is vast, the national strength is extremely strong, and last year it was easy to level the Jurchen tribes in the Liaodong region, and now the Liaodong region is being developed on a large scale."

"With the strength of the Ming Dynasty, it is enough to easily sweep away all the small things, and the reason why we are recruiting Korean warriors now is also the importance of our North Korea, and our North Korea should attach great importance to this matter, and it is the honor of our Korean country to send the most elite warriors to fight in all directions for the Great Tomorrow."

Liu Shunting, the official Cao's judgment, also stood up and expressed his position.

The Ming Dynasty conquered the grasslands in the north, leveled the Jurchen tribes, and even punched the Japanese State, but it has always been very good for North Korea, and the relationship between North Korea and the Ming Dynasty has always been very friendly.

Therefore, on the issue of dealing with the Ming Dynasty, the opinions of the whole Korean state are very consistent, not to mention that the agreement on the vassal state of the Ming Dynasty has been signed, and it is a complete vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.

Theoretically, the Great Tomorrow is the monarch of their Korean state, and as for the Korean king, he is also the courtier of the Great Tomorrow.

"Your Majesty, what Liu Gong said is very true~"

"Go to the Ming Dynasty, the son of the Ming Dynasty has a great love for my North Korea, and he has a lot of rewards, giving me two Ming ocean-going treasure ships and two treasure islands in the South Seas, which shows the grace of the Ming Dynasty to my North Korea."

"It is the honor of our DPRK to be able to use the place where the son of the present great tomorrow is useful, and it is also an opportunity for our DPRK."

Park Yuanzong, who knew the affairs of the central government, also stood up and said. 398

Last year, he went to Daming but received a very high courtesy, the son of Daming summoned him alone, and he was more concerned about North Korea, and he also witnessed the prosperity and strength of Daming on the side of Daming, and learned a lot of information outside Daming on the side of Daming.

The world is very large, there is a vast fertile land outside the Ming Dynasty, there are endless treasures, and the Ming Dynasty is constantly expanding to the outside world, and a new era is coming.

He paused slightly, and then slowly said, "Bring the world map~"

"Hmm~"

Yan Shanjun nodded slightly, and immediately a eunuch brought a world map and slowly opened it.

"Your Majesty, Ladies and Gentlemen~"

"Everyone, please see, this is the Ming Dynasty, this is North Korea, this is the Wa Kingdom~"

Park Yuanzong pointed to several places on the map and said.

"To the south, this is the Ryukyu Island of the Ming Dynasty~"

"A little further south is Luzon, and at present, the northern part of Luzon has been occupied by the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty has set up the Nanyang Province here."

"The two islands that the Great Tomorrow Son has given us in North Korea are not small, and the location is here, next to the Crescent City, the center of Nanyang Province, and the geographical location is also extremely advantageous."

"Your Majesty, the minister learned from the Ming Dynasty that at present, the commercial houses of the Ming Dynasty are keen to open up plantations in the Nanyang region to grow rice and sugarcane, and the benefits are extremely good."

"I think that our DPRK should attach importance to these two islands and open up plantations on these two islands, so that if our DPRK encounters a famine in the future, the rice grown on these two islands alone will be enough to feed my entire DPRK."

"Nanyang is located in the tropics, the rice here can be three crops a year, seven crops in two years, the yield is extremely high, if it is planted with sugarcane, the benefits are better, last year the major commercial banks in the Ming Dynasty in the Nanyang plantations all made a lot of silver."

Park Wonjong was a very knowledgeable and capable minister, and he saw the great value of the two islands that the Great Tomorrow Son gave him at will.

"Well, keep talking~"

Yan Shanjun nodded slightly, although he didn't like this Park Yuanzong very much, he was indeed a capable minister, much more powerful than his trusted relatives Ren Shihong and Shen Shouqin, and his knowledge was also farther.

"Your Majesty, the reason why I say this is my opportunity for the Korean state."

"That's because, today the Great Tomorrow can reward me with two islands in the South Seas, and in the future, my North Korea will follow the Ming Dynasty to expand around the world, and continue to fight against my Great Tomorrow, so in the future, the Great Tomorrow will definitely reward us with more land and islands in North Korea."

"Everyone, please look at the map of this world, the world is very big, Asia, the Golden Continent, Europe, Australia, Africa, as long as we keep up with the pace of the Ming Dynasty, the future will casually occupy a place in this world, and it will definitely be several times larger than our North Korea, more than ten times, or even a hundred times more possible."

When Park Yuanzong said this, the whole person was very excited, and the whole person was very excited when he thought that if North Korea could have land ten times, dozens of times, or even hundreds of times larger than it is now.

"How many times, more than a dozen times?"

"Or even a hundred times the land?"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but gasp, and Yan Shanjun's eyes flashed.

As a well-known tyrant in the history of North Korea, he is actually a monarch who wants to make a difference, but everyone knows the situation in North Korea.

This east is the Wa Kingdom, the west is the Ming Dynasty, it can no one do anything, so even if it is ambitious, he has nowhere to show, and in the end it can only be slowly placed in North Korea, and finally became a famous tyrant in the history of North Korea.

"Is this possible?"

Someone couldn't help but shake his head and said.

"Why is it not possible?"

"Everyone, please look at the world map, the world is much bigger than we imagined, and there are many barbarian lands in the world."

"On the side of Daming, people who have been to the Golden Continent know that the land of the Golden Continent is extremely huge, but the indigenous people there are very backward, still in the tribal stage, not even a country."

"There are many places like this in the world, and our Korean country should learn from the Ming Dynasty in an all-round way, and like the Ming Dynasty, focus on developing maritime trade, overseas colonization, and overseas expansion."

"As long as we keep up with the pace of the Ming Dynasty, with the relationship between us and the Ming Dynasty, our overseas expansion is also beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, and the expansion of the Ming Dynasty overseas is also beneficial to our North Korea, because people from our two countries can freely interact with each other, do business, study and so on."

"The world is so big, we in North Korea can also occupy a huge land that belongs to our North Korea!"
