"The envoy came to the court, and he missed the welcome, and I ask for forgiveness."

Kim Jong Suk also stood up when he heard Du Mingen's words, and then said with a smile on his face, although the words of the Ming Dynasty were a little awkward, but they could still be understood.

Chinese characters and Chinese are the official languages of North Korea, and ordinary people may not know them, but as an official of North Korea, they must be mastered.

"Lord Jin doesn't have to be polite, I didn't come here on behalf of Daming this time, and I am not an official of the imperial court, so I really dare not be it."

Although he enjoyed the compliments of the North Koreans, Du Mingen still told the truth, there was no way, it was impossible to pretend, because if it was an envoy of the imperial court, he had to show the relevant customs clearance documents and seals to the North Korean side, and the other party could only receive foreign envoys and VIPs only after confirming his identity through customs clearance documents and seals.

Without these things, if you want to pretend to be an envoy of the court, this crime is a big crime.

Hearing Du Mingen's words, Jin Zhongshuo also looked slightly embarrassed, it turned out that he had made an oolong on his side, originally Jin Zhongshuo felt that the other party had such a big ship, or five, and there were hundreds of people, and there were still Ming flags on it, most of them were envoys of the kingdom, so they gave a big salute as soon as they met.

Now kneel and kneel, you can't ask the other party to kneel back, although the other party is not an envoy of the Ming Dynasty, but he is also a person from the Ming Dynasty, and he can organize five Dafu ships to come to North Korea at one time.

Moreover, the Ming Dynasty and North Korea have been friendly for generations, and the country name of the North Korean State was still chosen by Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

"And who are you?"

Kim Jong Suk looked carefully at the five Daifuku ships in the harbor again, and then looked at these strong and tall crew members dressed in uniform clothes, and asked with doubts.

"In Xia Du Mingen, is the leader of this fleet, and this fleet is subordinate to the current Ming Dynasty, now the three northern provinces of the Ming Dynasty have a famine, I am ordered by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, I have come to Korea to purchase food for relief of the victims."

"This is the edict issued by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, and this is a letter written by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the monarch of the Joseon Kingdom."

For his own identity, Du Mingen, Liu Jin, and Zhu Houzhao have all been discussed, and this industry has a share in the Hongzhi Emperor, so it is natural to hang the name of the Hongzhi Emperor, and with this identity, it is naturally much more convenient to do things in the subject countries of the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that there was definitely no way to go to the capital to use the jade seal of Emperor Hongzhi to seal it at that time, but Zhu Houzhao volunteered to use his crown seal to issue an edict to Du Mingen, and then wrote a letter to Yan Shanjun, the current king of Joseon.

This can be regarded as having an identity, and the weight of this identity is heavy enough to make the North Korean side pay attention to it, otherwise it is obviously not easy to buy a large amount of grain on the North Korean side just as a businessman.

Hearing Du Mingen's words, Kim Jong Suk quickly took the edict and letter in Du Mingen's hand very respectfully, carefully looked at the contents of the edict, and verified his identity.

However, he was only a county order, so naturally he couldn't tell whether it was true or false, but he also immediately turned his head to the people around him and ordered them to immediately send this thing to the king of Joseon in Seoul, where someone could naturally verify it.

"Mr. Du has been in the dust all the way, and the boat and car are tiring, or we will go to rest and rest first, and we will talk about it slowly and in detail later."

Regardless of whether Du Mingen's identity is true or not, Kim Jong Suk chose very wisely to continue to entertain the guests who came over from the Ming Dynasty.

"That's a lot of a disturbance."

"But this time the time is very urgent, so I have to trouble Lord Jin to help contact the merchants of your country as soon as possible, I also brought a large number of Daming specialties to sell this time, and then I also need to buy a lot of grain."

Du Mingen expressed his gratitude to Kim Jong Suk, and also expressed his true intention to come over this time.

"Please rest assured, I'm going to get in touch, the Ming Dynasty is in trouble, how can we stand idly by, if my Korean monarch knows, he will definitely help."

When Kim Jong Suk heard this, he also hurriedly expressed his position.

"That's really good, I don't know if your country's harvest this year will be?"

When Du Mingen heard this, he immediately laughed happily, things are still going well, having an identity is a good way, if he is just a simple businessman, the other party will definitely not be so polite.

"Thanks to the blessing of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, our country has been in good weather all these years, and the grain is very sufficient, and a lot of old grain is about to mold because it can't be eaten."

Kim Jong Suk took Du Mingen and others to his county office, and said as he walked.

The geographical location of North Korea is actually very good, surrounded by the sea on three sides, with abundant rainfall and humid climate, which is very suitable for the cultivation of rice.

"That's good, that's good."

Hearing Kim Jong Suk's words, Du Mingen's hanging heart also relaxed, what he was most afraid of was that there would be a famine in North Korea and there would be a shortage of food, in that case, even if he had money, it would be difficult to buy much food.

Now that the wind and rain in the DPRK are smooth, with bumper harvests every year and abundant grain, there will naturally be no problem in purchasing a large amount of grain from my side, and the price is definitely cheap enough.

Putting his mind at ease, Du Mingen also began to appreciate this exotic customs with interest, the dress of the North Koreans is still quite different from that of the Ming Dynasty, and one of the biggest features is that he wears pants with wide legs.

As for the architecture of the Korean Kingdom, there is almost no difference between it and the Ming Dynasty, and almost all of them are designed and built in imitation of the Ming Dynasty's architectural style.

Along the way, because I heard that there was the arrival of the Ming envoys, all of them gathered and rushed to see what the Ming people from the upper kingdom looked like.

Du Mingen and the others looked at the people of the Korean country with interest, and these Koreans were also carefully looking at the people from the Ming Dynasty.

"The Ming people are so tall~"

"And they're all very strong and very energetic."

"Why did this Ming man shave his head one by one, and his beard was cut short?"

Du Mingen and others gave the impression that the North Koreans were very tall and strong, and then Du Mingen and others cut off their hair and beards, which immediately attracted their attention.

Compared with the Ming people, there is a big difference in the face shape of the North Koreans, the North Koreans are basically the national face, and the eyes are small, the cheekbones are prominent, the lips are thicker, and the nose bridge is higher.

In general, in terms of the aesthetics of the Ming Dynasty, the people of this North Korean country are ugly.
