Chapter 880: Two Million Taels: Buying Jeju Island?

For thousands of years, it has been a tacit practice for the vassal states around China to pick up the wool of China.

Even not only the vassal states, but also the Tusi of Yungui are always thinking about how to pick wool from the imperial court.

If you get a few good horses, you can get a lot of silk, cloth, tea, porcelain and other rewards on the side of the imperial court.

If it weren't for the fact that this thing couldn't be done every day, these people would have already been lying on Huaxia's body like maggots.

Among them, Goryeo is one of the best.

Because when Li Chenggui established the new Goryeo, it was completed under the witness or control of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming court has also treated Goryeo very favorably for more than 200 years.

Li Liang is already in his fifties and almost sixty, and he has completely experienced the graceful era in the middle and late stages of Wanli Ye, and he understands more thoroughly how delicious the wool of the Ming Dynasty is.

It's like wool, but it's mutton?

Xu Changqing in front of him, although many Ming officials he has come into contact with are different, more realistic and more cunning, but he still can't escape this convention.

This made Li Liang subtly find the traditional self-confidence, and forcibly suppressed the excitement and excitement in his heart and said: "Madam, I don't know, which island of Goryeo did your father's friend take a fancy to?" As long as it is within the tolerance of my Goryeo, I will do my best. ”

Here, a little mention of the concept of territory.

A long time ago, a great sage in my Huaxia proposed: "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land." On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. ”

But the rest of the world, at this time, is quite vague about territory.

Except for some fat and rich lands, and some barren and wild mountains, they are worthless at all, and no one will look at them.

Not to mention this time, even in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, before the discovery of oil, the Arabian Peninsula was a poor and remote country, and the colonists did not bother to look at it, and even the local Turks were tired of it and wanted to change places all the time.

The population of the vast peninsula may be less than six figures.

It wasn't until after World War II that the national consciousness awakened and the territory became valuable.

Goryeo is deeply influenced by China and still attaches great importance to the territory, but at this time, in the state of Goryeo, Li Liang can even sell his wife and children, let alone a desert island.

The only thing that needs to be taken into account is the price!

"This ......"

Zheng Chagu couldn't understand Xu Changqing's thoughts, and bit her red lips to think about it.

Xu Changqing said at this time: "Aunt Cha, what does your father's friend mean?" Does he have any more precise needs? ”

Xu Changqing has said this, how can Zheng Chagu not understand what Xu Changqing means?

Busy said: "How to say, it's better to be bigger, the conditions are a little better, it doesn't matter if the population is not populated." As for the silver, don't worry too much. As long as it's worth the money, I think my uncle would be happy to give the money. ”

"Bigger, better conditions?"

Xu Changqing deliberately repeated this concept.

The nerves of Li Liang and Li Hao also mentioned the apex.

"Smack."

Xu Changqing suddenly slapped his head hard at this time, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you see that this matter is making trouble, and it is not a matter for us to guess here." I wonder if the king has ever brought a map? ”

"This ......"

Li Liang and Li Hao were a little dumbfounded, how could they know that they came here to sell land to pick up Daming's wool?

Li Liang could only say dryly: "Master Hou, this, I haven't brought it for the time being." However, if Lord Hou needs it, I can send someone to pick it up overnight. ”

Xu Changqing smiled: "This is not necessary. There are maps in our army, including you in Goryeo. I'm afraid that the king won't be able to trust me. ”

"Huh."

Li Qi smiled dryly: "Master Hou said that you are laughing, you are a heroic hero of righteousness, how can I not believe you?" Just use your map. ”

Not much

, the map was taken, and the situation became intuitive all at once.

It's just that I don't know if Xu Changqing did it deliberately or what, this is a sub-large map, and the proportions are a little awkward.

In this regard, the territory of Goryeo is very large, like a wriggling fat maggot, but the surrounding islands are very small, including Jeju Island.

Li Liang and Li Hao also saw that something was wrong, but they still thought that this was the relationship between the model army's combat map, and they didn't pay much attention to it, on the contrary, they were a little excited, the map of Goryeo was so big.

It must be known that although Goryeo has a map, it is by no means as fine as a model army.

It is no exaggeration to say that if you compare the maps, the maps of the Koreans are drawn by junior high school students who have just learned to draw, and at most by high school students, and the map of the model army is at least the graduate level of the oil painting department and the sculpture department of the Academy of Fine Arts.

Under the tacit understanding with Xu Changqing, Zheng Chagu ordered several small islands near the Shandong Peninsula one after another, but they were all vetoed by Xu Changqing.

The reasons are also varied, what is too small, not a scene, or too close to the area controlled by the Qing Dynasty, unsafe, and so on.

Inadvertently, Zheng Chagu's jade hand pointed to the direction of Jeju Island.

Li Liang and Li Hao were both stunned, and even if they were beaten with chicken blood and died, they touted Jeju Island, and they blew Jeju Island into a paradise.

Seeing that Xu Changqing was still not satisfied, Li Liang said dryly: "Master Hou, this is already the largest island in my Goryeo, and besides, it is far away from the Hulu control area, which can definitely guarantee safety." If that lord can buy this Jeju Island, I, I am willing to give him another 3,000 people. ”

Xu Changqing frowned and said, "Your Majesty, this island is not bad, but it is too close to the Wa Kingdom, right?" You must also know about the early years of the Wako Rebellion. I have heard some news that the Japanese are in chaos now, and there are wars everywhere, and if the Japanese invaders cross the sea again, won't this island be in danger? ”

"This ......"

Li Liang swallowed for a while.

Li Hao, who was next to him, was busy patting his chest and assuring that Goryeo would protect the safety of Jeju Island to the greatest extent.

This is clearly.

Goryeo is not even as good as a weak chicken now, who should he protect?

Seeing that the two of them were already restless, like a peddler jumping on the street, Xu Changqing suddenly said: "If you can buy this Jeju Island, it will not be bad." Your Majesty, you can select some of the elite and train on this island. Our model army can send some officers to give guidance. This time, it will not take three or two years to form a strong combat force. ”

"Hmm......"

Li Liang and Li Hao are both shocked.

Xu Changqing's statement hit their hearts a bit.

If Goryeo could have a model army at this time, then they were still afraid of a Manchu Tartar with bird feathers?

At worst, they can maintain the core interests of Pyongyang's neighborhood, and they are as panicked as they are now.

"Master Hou, what you said is very good. If this is the case, I, Gaoli, am willing to make concessions, and your face is here, at least, I will give you a 20% discount. ”

Li Qi gritted his teeth and said.

Zheng Chagu also understood Xu Changqing's thoughts at this time, and added in a timely manner: "Then, Wang, I don't know how much this Jeju Island is worth?" ”

"This ......"

Li Liang and Li Hao were extremely difficult, as if they couldn't breathe.

The most critical time has come.

Both of them wanted the lion to open their mouths, slaughter them fiercely, and cut the mutton directly, but the military guidance that Xu Changqing said was placed here, which was really difficult for them to choose.

Xu Changqing said at this time: "Since that master is rich and rich, and Gao Li is so difficult at this time, he can't be stingy." Besides, if the lord bought this island, can the king lose his benefits? At worst, thousands and hundreds of Korean beauties, don't you say that you will be rewarded? Tea girl, it's a little bigger. We're going to have a good meal, too. ”

"Yes, yes, that's all trivial."

Li Liang and Li Hao hurriedly nodded.

"This ......"

Zheng Chagu was busy and got tangled, and her willow eyebrows frowned.

Li Liang and Li Hao glanced at each other, almost reaching a critical point.

Originally, they all thought that Xu Changqing was going around such a big circle because he wanted to buy Jeju Island by himself, but looking at the appearance at this time, it was obvious that Xu Changqing wanted to 'eat kickbacks' in it.

In this world, how can there be people who eat their own kickbacks? That's not a fool.

They are also gradually relaxing.

With characters like Xu Changqing sitting by their side, the matter is already settled, and now, it depends on whether Xu Changqing will have mercy on them Goryeo.

At this time, Xu Changqing pretended to think for a while, and said directly: "Aunt Cha, in this way, don't ink." What are we going to ink with the local tyrants? At a fixed price, I made two million taels of silver and bought this Jeju Island! ”

"Two, two million taels ......"

Li Liang and Li Hao were almost apart......

What is the concept of two million taels?

Since Goryeo was controlled by the Qing Dynasty, the amount of silver that entered the treasury every year in the whole country was only two or three hundred thousand taels when it was good, and even only one hundred thousand taels in a few years, and it was not enough to maintain the Manchu Dynasty to eat, drink, and Lazar.

Who would have thought that the villagers might have less than a few thousand or hundreds of villagers selling this bird-feather-like broken island, but Xu Changqing actually directly offered two million taels......

What kind of courage is this?

What a wantonness!

It's no wonder, it's no wonder that Xu Changqing has climbed all the way to this place in just a few years, even if the Great Qing Kingdom is so arrogant, he has been repeatedly deflated by him.

His methods, these ordinary people, are simply beyond the reach of dust......

"Two, two million taels? This, that's too much, right? ”

Zheng Chagu was frightened at this time, and looked at Xu Changqing with some difficulty.

Their Zheng family is indeed rich, but their Zheng family's silver is not blown by the wind, Xu Changqing directly opened two million at this time, and Zheng Chagu felt uncomfortable.

Xu Changqing smiled and stopped Zheng Chagu's slender waist and said, "Aunt Cha, be more generous." To do great things, you have to be bold! Isn't it just silver, can we still make it difficult for the king and the king of Fenglin? If your uncle is dissatisfied, you can tell him directly, I, Xu Changqing, want to eat something in it, and you ask him, do you give me Xu Changqing's face? ”

Zheng Chagu pretended to be difficult on her face, but she had already understood Xu Changqing's meaning from the gentle movement of Xu Changqing holding her slender waist behind her back.

Gritted his teeth and said, "Husband, I'll write to ask about this matter immediately!" In 10 days at most, accurate information will come back. However, in order to show my sincerity, I can pay a deposit of 200,000 taels first! ”

Li Liang and Li Hao were already stunned.

What is atmosphere?

What is a cow called?

What is a fierce man?

That's what the hell it is!

What else can they say? Compared to this couple, they are even inferior to Hanako.

I am very grateful to Xu Changqing and Zheng Chagu.

Xu Changqing smiled at this time: "Your Majesty, we Han people have an old saying, called brothers, settle accounts. I and you, the king, although we are like brothers at first sight, but I have to talk about it first. I can only give you 1,200,000 taels of silver for the two million taels of silver. ”

"This ......"

Li Liang and Li Hao had long known that Xu Changqing was ruthless, but they didn't expect that Xu Changqing would be so black, and nearly half of his mouth would be swept away......

The hearts of the two of them suddenly hurt like knives.

It's too ruthless.

It's so ruthless.

But the matter has come to this point, Xu Changqing has already given them enough face if he didn't plunder half of it, how can they refute it?

They had already cut the fat mutton from Xu Changqing.

I was afraid that Xu Changqing would regret it again, so I was in a hurry to sign a document with Xu Changqing and put the matter on paper.
