In a newly built restaurant in Seoul, North Korea.

This restaurant, called Hanjiang Tower, was built by a North Korean businessman who went to Daming and experienced the Moon Tower in the capital of Daming, and Tianjin Wanghai Tower spent a lot of money to build it in Seoul.

Everything refers to the Wanghai Tower of the Ming Dynasty, built with reinforced concrete, and then installed with glass windows, glass lamps, etc., and at night, it is the brightest boy in the entire Seoul.

As night fell, the huge cement parking lot built at the entrance of the Hanjiang Building, a luxurious four-wheeled carriage imported from the Ming Dynasty arrived, and a dignitary dressed in plain clothes walked into this gold cave.

It is not only a restaurant, but also has many other functions, gambling houses, Qinglou Chu Hall is absolutely indispensable.

The consumption inside is also extremely expensive, often tens or hundreds of taels of silver, which is not something that ordinary people can consume.

In a large box on the top floor of the Hangang Building, the singing and dancing of warblers, fine wine, food, beautiful people, and the beautiful scenery overlooking Seoul throughout the night can be described as a great enjoyment of life.

"My North Korea's Seoul is still far inferior to Tianjin's Ming Dynasty~"

"When Tianjin in the Ming Dynasty arrives at night, the lights are bright everywhere, and the streets are like bright dragons, compared to our Seoul, it is very dim, and there is nothing to see."

Li Chengzong looked down at Seoul below, and the whole person looked very disappointed.

The location of the Hangang Tower is very good, it was built next to the Han River, but at night in Seoul, like most cities on earth in this era, it was pitch black, and only the royal palace and other places could still see some lights.

"Of course, Seoul can't be compared with Tianjin in the Ming Dynasty, I heard that Tianjin in the Ming Dynasty is very prosperous, with a population of six million alone, many factories, and hundreds or thousands of ships in the port of Tianjin alone."

Lin Haoxi next to him also nodded and said.

He has never been to Daming, but he has heard a lot of legends about Daming, and he has also been in contact with the merchants of Daming, and heard them boast about the prosperity of Tianjin in Daming.

"If you have time, you should go to Daming in person, now our North Korea is a vassal state of Daming, and we can freely travel between Daming, Wa, and Luzon, this is a great opportunity for our Korean businessmen."

Li Chengzong nodded, sat down slowly, and said.

"Li Chengzong, you called our big guy this time, do you just want to call us to Daming?"

Lin Haoxi also walked down, took a sip of Daming's daughter Hong, and asked.

"At the end of last year, we signed an agreement in North Korea and officially became a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, so everyone must know about this, right?"

Li Chengzong looked at these people present, waved his hand, and the people around him left very interestingly, knowing that they had important matters to discuss.

"I know, who doesn't know~"

"But what impact does that have?"

"Haven't we always been a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty?"

Someone nodded and said.

"The impact is huge~"

"As soon as the vassal agreement is signed, from now on, the merchants of the Ming Dynasty can freely travel to and from our Korean country, we are all merchants, if the merchants of the Ming Dynasty come in and compete with us, it means that it will be difficult for us to do business in the future."

"Don't say anything else, just this cloth, the weaving factories here in Daming use new looms and spinning machines, the efficiency is very high, the cheapest cloth in Daming The price of a piece of cloth has now been reduced to less than 100 Wen, and it is sold to our North Korea, even if it is sold for 200 Wen, they still make a lot of money."

"But what about us?"

"The worst cloth in our North Korea is now almost 200 wen a horse, but the quality and pattern cannot be compared with the cloth of the Ming Dynasty."

"So since last year, we have been unable to sell our local cloth in North Korea."

Li Chengzong looked at everyone, everyone is in business, the cloth business has always been a big business, he is in the cloth business, so his business has been greatly affected.

When everyone heard this, they all nodded, and the large-scale entry of Ming merchants into Korea had indeed had a huge impact on their business.

The goods from the Ming Dynasty quickly hit the local goods of the Korean state, and the clever merchants all turned their heads to cooperate with the Ming merchants and became the agents of the Ming merchants in Korea.

You can make a lot of money by selling Daming's goods.

As for the businessmen who still insist on North Korea's own products, the business is weakening day by day, and even the rivers are declining.

Especially this year, after North Korea signed an agreement to become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, the merchants of the Ming Dynasty flocked to the country, relying on the developed maritime transportation capacity, and almost all kinds of Ming goods were moved to North Korea.

From cloth, salt, and sugar to cement, steel bars, and glass products, there are even people who bring boatloads and boatloads of sea fish to North Korea to sell.

Daming's things are very cheap, and I feel that the quality is very good, which quickly hit the market of North Korean merchants.

However, the merchants of the Korean State were helpless about this, because according to the agreement, the Ming people were free to do business, trade, and travel on the Korean side, and the Korean side not only could not obstruct it, but even protected the safety of the Ming people.

"And salt, which we produce in North Korea without any market at all."

"Now all the salt in the Daming Changlu Salt Field has been squeezed clean~"

"In addition, in terms of ironware, the iron tools and farm tools produced by the Daming Miyun Iron Factory are also sold well throughout our North Korea, and we have no way to compete with them."

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't you feel the end coming?"

Li Chengzong's voice was relatively cold.

The large-scale influx of Ming merchants, Ming goods continue to impact the original market of North Korea, which has a huge impact on North Korea, North Korean businessmen have the deepest experience, as for the common people of North Korea, they feel that the Ming things are not only cheap, but also of good quality, which is very good.

"Li Chengzong, then what do you say we should do?"

Lin Haoxi groaned slightly, thought about it and asked.

"What should I do?"

"Embracing a new era, of course."

Li Chengzong smiled and said.

"The merchants of the Ming Dynasty can come to our North Korea, and our North Korean merchants can also go to the Ming Dynasty, and the goods of the Ming Dynasty can enter our North Korea, and the goods of our North Korea can also go to the Ming Dynasty."

"Daming is very good to our Korean country, give us equal treatment, and we can also go to Daming to do business freely."

"Daming is different from our North Korea~"

"Daming is a vast land, north to the grassland, west to the Western Regions, south to the South Seas, east, they have expanded to the Golden Continent, the population of Daming is dozens of times, hundreds of times that of our North Korea."

"With such a huge market and population, and such a vast territory, we will be free to roam freely in the future."

"This is not only a crisis for us, but also an opportunity for us North Korean businessmen."

The more Li Chengzong spoke, the more excited he became, and the whole person seemed very excited.

"In the past, our most successful businessman in North Korea was only confined to North Korea, but from this year onwards, we will not be confined to North Korea."

"We in North Korea can follow in the footsteps of the Ming Dynasty, where the Ming Dynasty expands, we can follow wherever the Ming Dynasty expands, how big our territory is, how big our territory is, how big the population of the Ming Dynasty is, how big our market is."

"We are not just North Koreans, we are also Ming people now, and our eyes cannot be limited to North Korea, but should look at the world like the businessmen of the Ming Dynasty."

"We can also be like the merchants of the Ming Dynasty, buy goods in Tianjin and then pull down North Korea and the Japanese Kingdom to sell, and then we can also go to the South Seas and sell pearls, corals, jade, agate, agarwood, and ivory from the South Seas, and easily earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver back and forth."

"We can also go to the Nanyang Province of the Ming Dynasty, like the Ming people, where we will establish plantations and grow rice and sugar cane, and the Great Tomorrow will also reward us with two islands in the South Seas."

"I have heard the news that the upper authorities will soon send people to the South Seas to take over these two islands, and in the future, they will set up a government office and a plantation on it."

"The merchants of the Ming Dynasty also went all the way west, to the South Asian subcontinent, to the Middle East, and they also went to the Golden Continent to the east, and I heard that the Golden Continent was full of gold."

"In the past, we didn't have the opportunity to make a fortune overseas, but now it's different, as long as we unite and stay together, we have the same opportunity as Daming businessmen."

"We can also organize a fleet to go to the Golden Continent, we can also go to various places in the South Seas to do business, this is an era of exploding wealth, and it is an unprecedented opportunity."

When Li Chengzong thought of this, his whole person was very excited.

Hearing Li Chengzong's words, everyone couldn't help but open their mouths wide.

This Li Chengzong is too crazy.

But when I thought about it carefully, I felt that what he said was very right.

North Korea is no longer just North Korea, it is also a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.

If it has been confined to this little market in North Korea's own country, it is estimated that it will soon be hit by the merchants of the Ming Dynasty.

But North Korea joined the vassal camp of the Ming Dynasty, and the huge market of the Ming Dynasty was opened to them, and their opportunity came again.

They have all been in contact with the Ming merchants and know the wealth of the Ming merchants.

Especially the commercial houses here in Tianjin, any commercial house that comes out is very rich, and there must be several big ships under their hands, constantly going back and forth between the Ming Dynasty, North Korea, the Wa Kingdom and the Nanyang region.

In these places, even the simplest triangular trade is very profitable, far from being comparable to those of North Korean merchants.
