Chapter 93: The Undercurrent of the Mission
Li Xiangqian muttered in his heart, it is the first military port in the East China Sea.
It is a perennial docking of countless aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines, equipped with a number of nuclear weapons, which can shake this killer feature in Northeast Asia at any time.
Carefully calculated, North Korea's valuable things, that is, the little bit of uninteresting mines, the quality of ginseng is actually far inferior to the northeast ginseng, other things, all kinds of things, in short, if it were not for the split between the north and the south, the sticks in the south because of the strong support of the bald eagle, in a way contrary to the principles of economics, a large number of enterprises were relocated there, with the so-called sweatshop way to earn money, how could there be the so-called exhibition later?
That is, the town naval port, a good port in the southeast of North Korea, is not outstanding in terms of economy, but in the military, especially in the era of aircraft carriers and ironclads, it is a very prominent place, that place is very good, and the mountains outside can naturally protect the warships in those ports.
Park Dehuan seemed to want to say something, but suddenly stopped talking, Li Xiangqian was full of interest at this time, in his opinion, it was nothing, and said: "Welcome when you have time, you North Korea send some capable people, the bigger the official, the better, the best king, prince, all come to the Celestial Empire to take a look around, new industrial construction, well......"
In front of Park Dehuan's eyes, Li Xiangqian suddenly picked up a black thing very strangely, and there was a sound on it just now, but in a cautious attitude, Park Dehuan naturally didn't dare to ask more, but his mind was already full, "The best king, prince, come to the Celestial Empire to look around......"
Li Xiangqian suddenly saw something, and said: "Okay, meet today, it's just a few things, I didn't prepare for more, ten places for international students, but I can't grab the good things, and the town of the Navy Port, by the way, say hello to the king of your country for me, and invite him, when the time is right, you can come to the Heavenly Empire to relax, well, it's nothing, as for the rest, someone will arrange it, we have prepared some gifts for the king of your country, and when you leave, you will naturally be prepared." ”
"Thank you, Elder."
Li Xiangqian said: "I suddenly have something urgent, so I won't bother, well, the emperor has some new tricks, you can watch more, those movies are good." ”
Li Xiangqian left in a hurry, and muttered, "Why did you commit suicide at this time." ”
That Pu Dehuan didn't dare to ask more, it sounded like there was naturally something big, but what Li Xiangqian would never expect was that what Pu Dehuan saw was a very different ideology, like a demon, and the other party actually put forward the so-called mercantilism, which simply made this person who had been educated by two classes of nobles since he was a child, but could only be a middle-aged person, and resentment, isn't it more difficult to get ahead.
He returned to the hall arranged by the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple in a confused mind, although it was generally chaotic, but at this time, how could it not delay the visit of a foreign envoy, and after returning, sure enough, those entourages in his mission, grooms, or something, all had been broken into pieces, and they had slipped out to "do business" with the things in their bags.
There is one thing, Li Xiangqian is absolutely not wrong, that is, the North Korean mission is really full of people who do business, in fact, it is not easy for people, to find a way to please the big people in charge of selecting the members of the mission, you have to compete with peers, you know, no matter what the mission says, there are a number, and it is also a joke to really make a mission of several hundred people.
Moreover, when you enter the mission, you pay the money first, and then do things, so what you can see is that the small businessmen can't afford the money at all, and in the end, they still have to be those businessmen who have taken refuge in two classes of nobles, and their behavior is nothing more than to share most of the profits to the nobles, of course, Park Dehuan, the head of the mission, can naturally also share a share, he is a small person, naturally he has no capital, and there are hundreds of taels before and after, which is not without a small supplement.
Of course, with his identity, he naturally can't go to buy some goods and go back to sell them, but it is also a matter of duty to buy some gifts and honor the elders in the family, the patriarch of Pu Changfan.
"Take a break, wait a few days, and go to the first emperor to mourn, I have to take a good rest."
"By the way, my lord, I'm not in a hurry."
"What?" Park Dehuan looked at the servant sent by the elders, this servant was more familiar with the situation of the Celestial Empire, so he followed as a servant, of course, Park Dehuan felt that he was more like a watchman.
"That's right, my lord, this Celestial Dynasty also acts in accordance with the rules, not casually, as for condolences to the first emperor, it is naturally the same."
Park Dehuan was a little puzzled and asked, "You mean?" ”
"The adults of this Heavenly Dynasty, I looked at it before, most of them were retained in the previous dynasty, and the words of condolences to the first emperor generally pay attention to the auspicious day of the zodiac, look at the yellow calendar, and look for auspiciousness, it is not a mess."
"Oh, yes, it does."
"If you say, you don't have to pay too much attention to meeting the prince, after all, the prince is just going to be young, but if you want to mourn the first emperor, it must be an auspicious day."
"Gao, you are really ......" Park Dehuan just wanted to praise two sentences, but suddenly thought that no one taught him these common senses, but he needed a person like a servant to mention them, which seemed to be a little unacceptable to him.
Just as Li Xiangqian received a huge shock today, the so-called Celestial Empire actually said something mercantilistic, although the person who came was said to be a general who led the army, not the ruling dynasty, and now, a servant can actually know more than himself, it is really unreasonable.
However, people reminded you that you are not easy to scold and refute, so Park Dehuan had to stand up itchy and said, "Speaking of which, you can talk about it, there are still a few auspicious days." ”
The servant smiled mysteriously and said, "Within ten days, only four days later will be a suitable day for mourning." ”
Pu Dehuan nodded and said, "That's fine, I'll just rest in this hall for a while." ”
"Then it's a delay," the servant paused, and said, "I heard that in this imperial capital, there are many new gadgets that have been fashionable recently, including famous works like Dream of Red Mansions, and movies and dramas that can be watched. ”
Park Dehuan seemed to support Li Xiangqian for talking about the so-called movie, but he said nonchalantly: "I am the envoy of the Great Korea, how can I go to the market at will, and I am not afraid of losing the face of the Great Korea." ”
"How could it be, a few years ago, the secret envoy who came to Korea secretly, although he had to hide from the Manchu Tartars to come to the imperial capital, but he was not known, and he could still go to many good places to visit, and in that market, although there are many ordinary people, but he can see a lot of news, at least the people's livelihood and public security, all know, we are here, isn't it just to see how the weather of the new dynasty is, how it is to govern, and what is the attitude towards our vassal countries."
This is not wrong, Park Dehuan also knows, compared to what to visit the prince and mourn the emperor, the fate of the Korean country is more important, you know, Li Xiangqian wiped out the Tatar soldiers who had harmed Liaodong for decades, although it was the ordinary people who breathed a sigh of relief, but for the Korean royal family, the surprise and surprise, the surprise was in front, and the fear of death was true, they really heard about it, what heavenly soldiers will come down to help the Ming Dynasty fight, although it is strange 6 times, but it also shows the strength of this army.
In case, the leader of this army is a little hungry one day, and suddenly wants to come to Pyongyang's picturesque rivers and mountains, hunting, bubble girls, and eating ginseng, then it will be ......
Of course, for the Joseon royal family, the great reshuffle of the Central Plains Dynasty, they naturally habitually prepared all kinds of property ginseng, beautiful Goryeo girls, and prepared to send them to the imperial capital to please the nouveau riche.
However, the real question is, is it the same as what others come to rob?
Silla maids, Goryeo women, are the export products of North Korea, not to mention, due to the "island effect" of the Korean Peninsula, long-term internal intermarriage, so the blood is highly consistent, and the geographical location of the sea and mountains has given the North Korean girls some good long legs and thin waists, and the skin is shiny.
For the regime that ruled Liaodong and even the Central Plains, it was also a good choice to extort some beauties from Korea every year, not to mention anything else, what many people have forgotten is that the orphan daughter of the dead ghost Dolgon, who was imprisoned in the imperial capital, Donggor, was not a woman from a distant relative of the Korean royal family, who was married to Dolgon.
As the regent, Dolgon's devotion to a Korean woman is telling.
This was Park Dehuan's fear, but he was still a novice in the end, so he asked: "Then how do you look at it, can you know the so-called atmosphere of the new dynasty." ”
A chick, the servant complained in his heart, but he smiled and said: "In this country of poor military force and chaotic law, there is always some chaos to see, adults only need to go and see more, and after coming back, carefully consider it, naturally there is." ”
"Okay, okay."
Pu Dehuan thought about it, his task here seems to be almost the same, whether it is to see the prince or to mourn the first emperor, it is not something that can be started in the short term, so he can go out for a walk first.
Besides, didn't they give you a reason?
Park Dehuan left quickly, but what he didn't know was that after he changed into new clothes and left the Honglu Temple building, the servant mysteriously came to a backyard, where a man of ordinary stature, dressed as a coolie, and with a small cart behind him, was obviously hiding there in the house under the pretext of delivery.
"Okay, the people are gone, I guess I'll go back to have fun tonight."
"It's not, let's do things, we have to hide that little ghost before we can do our own thing, it's really troublesome."
"He is a substitute for the dead ghost pushed out by the adults, this is the Central Plains, the blessings and misfortunes are unpredictable, naturally he can't give him the real business, once something goes wrong, but it has to be solved for the dead ghost, well, let's not talk about him, you have been hiding in the imperial capital for a few years, at least you should know, in this imperial capital, who is the most useful, the most useful to speak, who should give gifts such as gold and silver ginseng, without you to lead the way, I am afraid that it will be sent to the wrong door."
The man seemed to be very distressed, and said, "I am a small merchant, and it is already difficult to deal with those greedy little officials, but I really don't know this." ”
"How can I not know, I still want to ask you, is it really a god descending to earth, this is amazing, how to pray in order to attract our gods."
The Korean spy dressed as a laborer seemed to be very distressed, and his Chinese language was a little higher than that of the boss in front of him, and he said: "Those, according to legend, are from the heavens, and they also fly those elders who can fly in the sky, they are all real, they live in the palace every day, and occasionally a group of people go out to shop together, you don't have to look at anything else, the other end, the clothes can be seen to be them." ”
"Short?"
"Well, it's short, it's even more barbaric than the Jurchens, but it seems that someone explained that it was those elders who needed to wear a kind of armor that could take them into the universe, so they couldn't have heads."
"In that case, if you say that, these immortal elders shave, but it's not that they are barbarians by nature, but they have to wear armor...... What kind of armor does that have to be, by the way, do you have a way, buy a pair, money is not a problem. ”
"How is this possible, the palace can be said to be inaccessible now, no one can go in and steal things at all, don't think about this."
"How did I hear that the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace are carrying the baby out in and out."
"That's all the old yellow calendar, you don't know at all, these immortal elders are really powerful, clairvoyant, obedient ears, and can also write down the voice of the voice, and put it again."
"How is this possible!"
"Why not, this imperial capital has spread, just in that cabinet hall, a businessman of the Celestial Empire who colluded with the Manchurians, what he said, after it was recorded, people were frightened crazy at that time, and they didn't even dare to resist, this is true, it is a big businessman in Shanxi."
"That's really troublesome, if the palace is really leaky, then what should I do to complete the task, at least I understand that what the king wants to know the most, what the emperor will do next year."
"This, didn't you just say that the envoy, but instead saw the elder who led the sweep of Liaodong, what did you say?"
"Did...... Well, what he said is brief, but it is really disturbing, first, he wants us to send ten noble children to the imperial capital to study, second, he wants to forcibly occupy Zhenhai Island, and third, he also said that he wants the king to come to the imperial capital. ”
"Well, this is a hostage."
"Yes, no matter how you look at it, it looks like they want us to send hostages to the imperial capital."
