Bidding farewell to Shangguan Ji, Zhang Yue walked into the apse of the greenhouse hall with full questions.

I almost hit the threshold.

"What's wrong with Shizhong?" It happened to be Guo Sui standing at the door, and he hurriedly helped Zhang Yue and asked, "Something?" ”

"No ......" Zhang Yue smiled and replied: "I just heard that the ginseng from North Korea has been sent to the palace, and I am thinking about how to make that ginseng soup for His Majesty......"

It has been almost two months since the Son of Heaven ordered the four counties of Korea to pay tribute to mountain ginseng.

Although the land transportation from North Korea to Chang'an is indeed difficult to walk.

In this era, to get from Korea to the Central Plains, it was necessary to take the Liaodong Corridor and cross a swampy area.

But the sea transportation is very convenient.

At this time, the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea were calm, and even in the Tsushima Strait, the wind and waves were calm.

The savages outside the four counties of North Korea could not live their lives, so they took a small sampan to the Unu Islands to find the Usau people on the Unu Islands at this time to fight the autumn breeze, which was a common thing.

The love-hate relationship between the Stick and the Japanese began even as early as the Joseon Dynasty.

However, during this period, and for a long time to come, it has always been the stick to visit the helpless relatives of the Japanese slaves.

For the Han family, it had become a habit to transport personnel and materials by sea route from the Liaoxi Peninsula to Qinhuangdao.

A month and a half ago, Sang Hongyang ordered the official fleet along the Qilu coast to set sail and go north to the coast of North Korea to fish in the waters around the Korean Peninsula.

It's just that now, the Korean Peninsula is very little developed, so there are hardly any decent ports.

The fleet will have to anchor in Liaoxi County and wait until next spring to fish off the coast of North Korea.

But......

Zhang Yue heard Sang Jun say that now, the fleet going north is already happy.

Because, they found a school of super fish that they had not seen in Qilu for countless years on the coast of Liaoxi Bay in western Liaoning.

According to the reports of the officers who led the fleet to the north and the officials who accompanied the ship, there were so many fish schools along the coast of western Liaoning that dozens or hundreds of fish could be caught by casually casting a net, and each of them was large and fat.

What's more, these big fish, all stupid, are surrounded by the estuaries of several rivers in western Liaoning, refusing to leave

The only problem is that it is relatively cold, and the sea may freeze as winter approaches.

Therefore, these officials asked one after another that the great Sinong should send them a large amount of winter materials and fish drying craftsmen and slaves before the winter came.

They plan not to leave in Liaoxi County.

As for North Korea?

Wait until they finish catching the fish in Liaoxi!

And Qilu's huge fleet of official ships, after hearing the news, was immediately excited and wanted to go north.

There is no way, 30% of the profits from fishing in the official ship yamen can be retained and distributed as welfare.

Moreover, the speed of their promotion and the amount of fish caught are directly linked.

In other words, whoever catches more fish earns more and rises faster.

This kind of thing that can make money, be promoted, and even earn girls and houses, since ancient times, the people of Zhuxia have been the most active!

After Shang Jun changed the law, in the eyes of the Eastern countries, he had always been a weak chicken and a Qin soldier who fought five scum, and the blink of an eye turned into a tiger and wolf is a clear proof.

Therefore, the mountain ginseng mined from North Korea was delivered to Chang'an by sea in only one month.

The speed is not inferior to the bird's nest in Zhuya County.

Guo Sui listened to Zhang Yue's words, and immediately said: "The servant is really a loyal minister!" ”

Zhang Yue smiled slightly, and said, "I'm tired of Guo Ling's official to pass on a ...... for me."

"The waiter is serious...... Guo Sui smiled and said, "The slave and maid will go to pass on the ......."

"Thank you!"

It didn't take long for Guo Sui to come out with a smile and say to Zhang Yue: "Your Majesty is invited!" ”

Zhang Yue hurriedly followed Guo Sui, passed through the palace of the greenhouse hall, and came to the greenhouse hall where the Son of Heaven worked.

"Chen Yi respectfully asks Your Majesty to ......" Zhang Yue walked in, and immediately bowed to the Son of Heaven who was watching Song Shu in front of the case: "My emperor has a long life!" ”

"Zhang Qing is here......" The Son of Heaven seemed to be still indulging in the music, just glanced at it and said, "Give me a seat......"

He picked up the note in his hand, and while looking at it, he asked Zhang Yue: "Qing entered the palace at night to see me, what happened?" ”

"The minister was frightened, I heard that the Korean ginseng had been paid to Chang'an, so he didn't dare to delay, and entered the palace in the starry night to make soup for His Majesty......" Zhang Yue Gong reported: "In addition, the minister has a private matter and wants to report to His Majesty......"

"Thanks to the love of the Duke of Jin, not despicable to the minister, to serve the minister's pillow with the daughter of the clan, the minister was flattered, did not dare to refuse, and privately accepted the kindness of the captain of Jindu, but, as a servant, for His Majesty's close ministers, he did not dare to be selfish, so he specially reported to His Majesty!"

When the Son of Heaven heard this, he laughed: "Aiqing is really a loyal minister!" ”

"In the future, you don't have to tell me about such a trivial matter......

Zhang Yue listened, but bowed: "The minister is loved by His Majesty, and he is already frightened, how dare he hide his secrets?" And husband, Shiyun: Sleepy night bandits, one person, the training of the first king, the minister dare not forget! ”

When the Son of Heaven heard this, he was even happier.

What he is most satisfied with Zhang Yue is this.

Transactions are reported regardless of size.

In the past, in Xinfeng, every time he made a decision and gave an order, he would send someone to send a copy to him.

What makes him happiest is that every ten days, Xinfeng will send him a report on Zhang Yue's quality in Xinfeng.

In the quality day, not only did he list in detail what he had seen and heard in Xinfeng in the past ten days.

The Son of Heaven was not without suspicions, and he asked Wang Mang to send someone to verify Zhang Yue's itinerary, remarks, and policies, and the content of Wang Mang's report was completely consistent with the quality report.

Now, this lieutenant has to come to him to report even if someone else sends a girl.

This is not a loyal minister, who else is a loyal minister?

Anyway, the Son of Heaven has been in power for more than 40 years, and he has seen countless people of all kinds, who say they are loyal to him on the surface, but in fact, they dig all kinds of national walls behind his back and fill his pockets.

This is the only officer who is really loyal!

Look!

The ginseng from the North Korean side had only been transported to Chang'an for less than two days, and as soon as he heard about it, he had entered the palace overnight.

I'm afraid that even Hou Weiqing of Changping back then couldn't be so respectful and loyal!

Since he is a loyal minister, the Son of Heaven will not avoid Zhang Yue in many things.

He took the note in his hand and said to Zhang Yue: "Qing is not in a hurry to make ginseng soup for me, let's take a look at this ...... first."

Zhang Yue stepped forward respectfully, took the song, opened it to take a look, and found that the writer was still related to him.

It was his cheap disciple Yuan Chang's former teacher, and the current key was the Song Shu of the county Taishou Huang Ba.

The content of the recital is also relatively straightforward.

King Yelang and King Dian expressed their intention to enter Chang'an through the official of the county.

Moreover, this time is different from the other two entry into the DPRK.

King Yelang and King Dian would bring the household registration album of the palace where they were located, intending to present it to the imperial court.

In fact, the implication is - Father of the Son of Heaven, please accept our humble loyalty, so that we can also become Han people!

At the end of the recital, Huang Ba appended the request of the King of Dian and the King of Yelang to enter the Hajj.

It's really written in a crepe, and it seems that King Dian and King Yelang have invited Confucian students to polish it.

Zhang Yue finished reading all the songs, and almost understood it in his heart.

He looked at the Son of Heaven and asked, "What does Your Majesty mean?" ”

"I mean, naturally, I plan to approve!" The Son of Heaven lowered his head and said: "It's just public opinion of the government and the opposition, and it may not agree!" ”

The kings of the southwest region, such as the Yelang King, the Dian King, the Yu King, the Zuo Jun, and the Jilan King, have wanted to attach the Han family several times, either true or false.

However, the ministers and scholars of the Han family are too lazy to care if they are real or fake?

They have only one attitude towards such things - refusal!

The barbarians from there also want to climb high in the summer? Don't spill pee and look in the mirror?

Even the Ram School, in fact, is not very in favor of wanton expansion, even if Yidi takes the initiative to annex it, there are many people who are worried that it will increase the burden on the people.

After all, to accept a new piece of land, you have to send officials to organize the development.

It is necessary to mobilize resources, and it is necessary to organize immigrants!

What's even more terrifying is that the court may also throw a group of Hongru over to educate the barbarians!

Just thinking about it, the doctors already felt creepy.

Especially the scholars and doctors of the Guliang School, even the poor people in their own township party did not bother to care about their life or death.

Let them leave the prosperous Central Plains, trek through mountains and rivers to the remote and backward Yidi Mountains, and teach those savages poetry, books, rituals, and music?

Dream on, it's here!

In short, the Confucian scholars, in line with their own small calculations, have always opposed expansion.

Of course, there is also the reason why today's son used to have a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, and there was no plan to start a war at will.

Many people are afraid that this majesty is addicted to expanding the territory, and just like back then, beating the Huns, turning his buttocks, pressing North Korea and Sanyue to the ground and beating him fatly.

even crossed the Gobi and the desert, separated by more than a dozen countries, and beat Dawan.

"Your Majesty, I think the scholars will agree...... Zhang Yue smiled and bowed his head: "They will understand Your Majesty's good intentions!" ”

"If Your Majesty is relieved, please leave this matter to the minister!"

It is indeed difficult to convince public opinion.

But the current southwest region is no longer the southwest region it once was.

The millions of stones or even more squatting owls and squatting heads that may exist every year are enough to convince most people to agree to the attachment of Yelang and the Dian Kingdom.

Of course, it takes skill!

For his part, Zhang Yue knew exactly what to do to get even the most radical isolationists to agree with it.

For Zhang Yue, this may be an excellent opportunity.

A good opportunity to sell his manifest destiny and the special theory of Zhuxia to the people of the world!

Isolationism is unacceptable!

The open door and the world are the world of Zhuxia, which is the truth!

The Son of Heaven listened, but he had this intention, and smiled at Zhang Yue: "Then let's do it, do something, I don't worry!" ”

When Zhang Yue heard this, he suddenly felt a cold shuo in his neck, and hurriedly bowed: "The minister respectfully obeys the edict!" ”
