In the county seat of Incheon County.

Although Du Mingen has already stated that he is not the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, but he is also working for the current Ming Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this North Korea is a subject country of the Ming Dynasty, and Jin Zhongshuo first received it in accordance with the specifications of the reception of the Ming envoy, and did not dare to slack off.

On the wine table, it is natural that there is a lot of staggering, after three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, and after getting more familiar with each other, the conversation is naturally more in-depth.

"Mr. Du, please forgive me for being rude, why did you cut off your hair and beard? The skin of this body, and the parents of it, can be damaged. ”

Jin Zhongshuo actually wanted to ask this question from the beginning, these Ming people are really a little abnormal, and the clothes they wear are all uniform clothes, or tight-fitting clothes without wide cuffs, not long robes and Confucian shirts, which is very inconsistent with the dress habits of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, Du Mingen and the others all have the same hair and shaved beards, which is very unusual, I don't know and think they are monks in the temple.

"That's a long story."

Du Mingen smiled, and then began to talk slowly after a deep sigh, mainly about some of the things that Liu Jin told on the top of the Moon Tower.

"Because there are three kinds of high-yield crops on the Golden Continent, my great son loves the people like a son, and knows that the people take food as the sky, so I ordered Liu Jin and Liu Gongzi to form a fleet to go to the Golden Continent to introduce these three high-yield crops back to Daming, so that my Daming has never had a famine since then."

"Liu Gongzi is a son of a master, he said that ocean voyages are extremely difficult, and the slightest carelessness can lead to death at sea, in addition, because he has lived on a small ship for a long time, personal hygiene is extremely important."

"If the hair and beard are long, it is extremely inconvenient to take care of them, and sailing in the open ocean is not as good as on land, and this fresh water is an extremely valuable resource, so keeping short hair and cutting off the beard is more conducive to sailing, and it is not easy to breed some unclean things."

"In the end, it's all about being able to get to the Golden Continent smoothly and bring back high-yield crops, and it doesn't matter if you have some hair and beards."

Du Mingen explained with a smile that in fact, after keeping short hair for a long time, he also discovered the benefits of having short hair, which is very refreshing, not to mention, and does not need to take care of it.

Cutting off their hair and beard has many benefits for the workers at the bottom, who are no better than those above who have clothes to reach out and eat and open their mouths, and they have someone to take care of everything.

Having long hair is useless at all, not to mention that it is a great obstacle to life and work, and it is easy to breed all kinds of unclean things because it is not taken care of.

"His Majesty the Emperor of the Kingdom of God is really a saint of the ages, and he loves the people like a son, which is really grateful."

After listening to Du Mingen's words, Jin Zhongshuo also said from the bottom of his heart, and saluted in the direction of Daming in the west to show his respect for His Majesty the Ming Emperor.

Of course, he also had a feeling, the current Korean monarch Yanshanjun is a famous tyrant in history, during the reign of Yanshanjun, there was a Wuwu Shi disaster and a Jiazi Shi disaster in Korea, and a large number of intellectuals were slaughtered.

After Yan Shanjun learned that his biological mother was not Queen Zhenxian but the abolished concubine Yin, his behavior began to become abnormal. Yin died after being accused of poisoning Chengzong's concubine out of jealousy.

After learning of this, Yan Shanjun killed the two nobles Yan and Zheng who accused the Yin clan and the officials who supported the Yin family and their families, and the scholars of the Shilin faction who were biased against the usurpation of the throne were also killed by Yan Shanjun.

Yan Shanjun also looted thousands of beautiful women for his amusement, and regarded Sungkyunkwan as a place to spend time and drink, because some people used Hangul (this is the Korean script invented by King Sejong of Joseon) to write leaflets to denounce Yan Shanjun, Yanshanjun also ordered a ban on the use of Hangul.

The monarch of the Korean state was brutal and slaughtered Shilin, and the Ming Emperor of the Shangguo Kingdom has always been close to the ministers, treated the gentry preferentially, and loved the people like sons, which naturally has long been spread to the side of the Korean country, and is known and missed by the scholars of the Korean country.

Now I heard that just because of Liu Jin's words, Emperor Hongzhi was going to organize a fleet to go to the Golden Continent to introduce three high-yield crops back to solve the problem of famine among the people of the Ming Dynasty, which shows that Emperor Hongzhi's name of loving the people like a son is definitely not a random boast of the people below.

"Is there really a grain crop in this Golden Continent that yields dozens of stones per mu?"

Then Kim Jong Suk asked again in disbelief.

"It's... I don't know, but this Liu Gongzi is a son of a master, so naturally he won't deceive people. ”

Du Mingen smiled and said.

"Mr. Du, in the future, you will return triumphantly from the Golden Continent, and I wonder if you can introduce some high-yield varieties to our Korean country?"

Kim Jong Suk nodded noncommittally, thought about it and asked.

"Of course this is possible, the Ming Dynasty and the North Korean country have been friendly for generations, and it is not difficult to communicate with each other, and in the future we will introduce the good seeds back to the Ming Dynasty, which is naturally equivalent to the introduction of the North Korean country, and of course it can also benefit the people of the North Korean country."

Du Mingen naturally agreed, in this era, the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the Korean State is too iron, just a good seed, it is nothing at all.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Du."

"Let's have a drink to Mr. Du."

Kim Jong Suk is also a good parent, and when he heard that there were good seeds with a yield of dozens of stones per mu, he would even think about introducing them to his own country.

"If you want to thank me, you should also thank me for the Son of Heaven, it is the son of Shengming today, so I can have the opportunity to go to the Golden Continent to bring good seeds back."

Du Mingen raised his wine glass high in the direction of Da Ming in the west, and the people who came with Du Ming also learned in a good way, as for Kim Jong Suk, these North Koreans naturally hurriedly raised their wine glasses together and saluted in the direction where Da Mingzi was.

After this conversation, the relationship between the two sides became much closer, and they began to talk about each other.

Du Mingen also took out some glass products made by the glass factory and gave them to Jin Zhongshuo, this thing is not worth anything at all, as long as there is a glass factory, you can burn as much as you want.

But it is a rare thing in this Korean country, especially this mirror, when Kim Jong Suk saw the mirror, the whole person couldn't help but be shocked by its clarity, and immediately regarded it as a treasure.

is also more attentive to Du Mingen and others, the politics of the Li Dynasty during this period are extremely corrupt, and the party is endless, although this Kim Jong Suk is also a good parental official, but he is not a clean official with clean sleeves.

It's actually quite contradictory, but it's real.
