Gu Wei looked at the military coat that Duhu Shuliang was wearing, and then looked at what Lu Junyi and the others were wearing, it was indeed exactly the same, and he felt that his mouth was blocked, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Even if others treat you as a human being, what about the people?" Could it be that they will be like these outsiders, so what are you outsiders trying to do? ”

Duhu Shuliang's words made Lu Junyi and the others nod with satisfaction, Lu Junyi said to Gu Wei, "Ming people don't do dark things, Withered Leaf Island is two thousand miles from north to south, and there are many rivers, enough to support millions of people, when we help you live a good life, we can also live a good life here, this is our purpose, in the words of our village master, it is a win-win situation, Gu Wei, are you willing to surrender?" ”

Gu Wei wanted to shout that he would kill if he wanted to, but looking at Dong Ping who was eager to try next to him, he couldn't speak, Lin Mu sighed, stepped forward and knelt on the ground and said, "My lord, the Gu Wei clan is willing to surrender, please be lenient to my clan!" ”

"Woods! Are you crazy? Do you still have me as the patriarch in your eyes? Gu Wei saw that Lin Mu was actually good at making claims, and he was angry and wanted to step forward to kick Lin Mu, but he was pressed to the ground by the sergeant next to him, he kept struggling, and his mouth also made a roaring sound, Lin Mu trembled, and then said, "Patriarch, if you don't descend at this time, Gu Wei will no longer exist, and half of my clan's youth will grow here, and when the cold winter comes, I'm afraid that less than half of the clan can live until next spring, and when spring comes, Yiligan will definitely attack, and I'm afraid that the gods of my clan will have no one to sacrifice next winter." ”

Gu Wei didn't know this truth, he stopped struggling, yes, compared to being a slave of the Yiligan people, I'm afraid it's much better to surrender these outsiders, don't you see that the lone tiger artist is alive and well.

"If you want to surrender, there will be no more bones in the future." Lu Junyi saw that the two of them had a surrender, remembered Jiang De's instructions before leaving, and said again.

"What? So who are we? Lin Mu looked up and asked.

"You are Guwei people, but you can't be Guwei people, Guwei will become a place name in the future, like a place name like the Black and White River." Duan Jingzhu explained, "In the future, you will speak our Chinese, use our characters, wear our clothes, and abide by our etiquette. ”

"It's... This..."Lin Mu is indeed a wise man, when Gu Wei was still confused, he had already understood, outsiders are going to completely destroy the Gu Wei clan, if this continues, it won't be long before the Gu Wei clan will completely disappear in the long river of history like those tribes that were annexed by Gu Wei.

"It's non-negotiable, and if you can't do it, we're not afraid to kill." Seeing that Lin Mu was a little hesitant, Lu Junyi said coldly, just now Lehe and the others were still persuading him to kill him, if these people are really unwilling to surrender, then killing is indeed a good choice, losing these young people, no need to do it with Liangshan soldiers and horses, and when the spring of next year comes, Withered Leaf Island will naturally set off a bloody storm.

Lin Mu had no doubt that these outsiders would speak with knives and guns, because if Lin Mu himself was in this position, he would be the same, the so-called wise man is a person who thinks a lot, and he is also a person who likes to treat others with himself.

Lin Mu finally surrendered, but Gu Wei was unwilling to bear the infamy of the dead clan and refused to surrender, and was re-imprisoned, not to mention how Lin Mu persuaded the generals and clansmen of the Gu Wei clan, Lu Junyi here began to write hard, when he was in the Daimyo's Mansion, he also longed for Jin Ge Iron Horse, but when he arrived on Dry Leaf Island, he knew how difficult it was to lead an army.

Fortunately, he had a backer, although not as large as the Song State, but more reliable. He first wrote some general outlines of defeating the Guwei tribe, and then asked Jiang De for people, from the farmer who farmed the land to the gentleman who taught, all of them, there could be no Han immigrants on Withered Leaf Island, otherwise the rule of Withered Leaf Island would be a tree without roots, Lu Junyi put down his pen and ink, called Duan Jingzhu and asked, "Can you still go out of Bandong Harbor now?" ”

Duan Jingzhu thought for a while and said, "It should be okay, but the governor wants to spread the news?" ”

Lu Junyi handed the letter to Duan Jingzhu and said, "The person who is able to send it must be sent to the owner of the village, I have to have someone to cultivate such a territory!" ”

——

"It's a fertile place, and it would be a pity if no one cultivates it." Jiang De looked at the land that Li Zhong had dug out and said with a sigh.

Xu Guanzhong squatted down, because the weather was cold and the ground was frozen, so the soil was just a shallow pit dug out, but the fertility of the land could still be seen, he was not those sour Confucians who only knew Zihu, and naturally saw it.

"Lord, what soil, this soil is good for both farming and grazing." Xu Guanzhong pinched the soil, and then said with a sigh.

Jiang De smiled, of course this is a good place, here is more than a thousand years later, but the agricultural base of that island country, that island country can feed 100 million people, this land is indispensable, however, at this time, this place does not belong to the Japanese country, but is occupied by a group of ethnic minorities.

At this time, he was not called Hokkaido, because the locals were called Ainu and also called Ezo, so the Japanese called this place Ezo. With more than 80,000 square kilometers of forest coverage, four distinct seasons, abundant sunshine and abundant coal, Ezo is an undeveloped virgin land that is a great place for immigrants.

"Okay, take a look at this place and be satisfied, although the Ezo people are weak, but they are very tenacious, they have been fighting against the Japanese for a long time, we want to occupy this place, not only to be prepared to fight guerrilla warfare with them, but also to be prepared to deal with the Japanese country." Jiang De looked to the south, where there were millions of Japanese people, Jiang De did not have as much prejudice against the Japanese as his father, but he still did not have a good feeling.

"My lord, if we master this place, plus the Withered Leaf Island, we will have the foundation of the king's business." Xu Guanzhong's eyes lit up and said, the foundation of everything in ancient times was grain, and Ezo has the potential to become a granary, so it also has the potential to become a foundation.

"Take your time, let's go, let's go to Jeju Island first, I don't know how Wu Yong is doing." Jiang De turned around and said, not far away, a fleet of ships was waiting for him.

-- Kaijing

As the capital of Goryeo, Kaegyeong is naturally indispensable for good restaurants, and in a restaurant, it is a prosperous time, and diners talk about the latest topics while eating wine and food.

"Do you have that Qiong wine from the Song Kingdom at home?" A diner asked, his eyes rolling.

"Ah, hey, connoisseur, a new batch of goods has just arrived, wait a minute, come right away!"

"Hey, did you hear that? A few days ago, Mrs. Li invited a few noble ladies to be guests, and she dropped a glass mirror on the spot, and she didn't feel distressed at all, she really made those noble ladies jealous to death! ”

"Glass mirrors? Could it be the glass mirror that can illuminate the person in the legend? Isn't that priceless? It is said that even the same weight of gold cannot be exchanged. ”

"Don't talk about gold, even if you have money, there is nowhere to buy it, now that the sea is forbidden, these good things of the Song Kingdom, where is it so easy to get them."

"Then why the Li family..."

"You're stupid! Who is the Li family? Can the forbidden sea still be forbidden to their heads? ”

In the private room of the restaurant, Li Zirang's face did not have the arrogance of the third master, but respectfully poured wine for the man opposite.

"Third brother, this trip is good, since you have gone through, let's go a few more times, the family is full of places that cost money, your sister-in-law returned Meng Lang yesterday, and I can't do anything about her." Li Ziqian took the wine glass handed over by Li Zirang, took a sip and said.

"Hehe, the eldest brother thinks it's good, that Jeju Island, now it's a little interesting, I also saw the sale of armor and war horses upstairs, in addition to not selling people, the rest is a little taboo-free." When Li Zirang talked about Jeju Island, he still admired him: "Of course, if it weren't for the ban on the sea, the goods we waited for would not have been sold at such a high price."

By the way, big brother, when I came back, I saw that the king's people had arrived on Jeju Island, and the person headed by him was from the palace and was recognized. ”

Li Ziqian nodded and said, "The king seems to be short of money... By the way, now that the sea is forbidden, do you still see merchant ships going out to sea when you go out? ”

Li Zirang said with a smile: "Now only official ships are allowed to go to sea, those sailors are profitable, where will those merchant ships go to sea, let alone merchant ships, now it is difficult for fishermen to go to sea." ”

"Hmm... That's good. ”

Interests, is the easiest thing to blind people, when a thing and a person's interests are related, it is difficult for him to look at this problem comprehensively and fairly, when the nobles of Kaijing celebrated the huge benefits brought by the ban on the sea, hundreds of people along the coast are faced with the fact that they have been cut off because of the ban on the sea, and many big businessmen have also been swallowed up by those nobles who have been coveted for a long time, especially in the seaside places, all kinds of mergers are almost undisguised in the stage, this winter, for some people in Goryeo, it is extremely difficult.

Haizhou, because it can directly trade with Song Liao and other countries, there were originally dense merchant ships here, and at this time, none of the merchant ships here can go out, and they can only rot in the sea.

There are also nobles in Haizhou, the largest family here is the Zheng family, at this time, dozens of people are gathering in the Zheng family waiting for the arrangement of fate, these people are dressed simply, but the figure is rich, it can be seen that it is worth a lot, this simple dress is probably just to hide people's eyes.

A man sat tall in the hall, he was seven feet long, with broad square eyes and a white beard, but he was quite dignified.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my willingness to see you today represents the greatest sincerity of our Zheng family, where to go, I hope to hear your reply today." After speaking, the man picked up the teacup and drank it slowly.

This man's name is Zheng Wancai, he is the Zheng family, and he is also the general of the Haizhou garrison, and he is in charge of the sailor, because of the ban on the sea, his position immediately became a fragrant bait, and he has known the profits of maritime merchants for so many years, but because he is not good at management, he has not improved much, but now it is different, the people sitting below are the original maritime merchants, and they can't operate, aren't these people all masters?

"Your Excellency... Isn't that too low? A maritime merchant asked tremblingly, now that the sea is forbidden, these maritime merchants who were originally powerful immediately turned into fish and meat on the board, and they were slaughtered.

"The price is too low? You go and ask, except for those broken boats that I, Zheng Wancai, am willing to pick up you, but is there anyone who is willing to buy them? What can you boats do now but slowly rot in the sea? I'm not just willing to buy your boats, I'm willing to buy your people! Is there anything you don't like? If you're really not satisfied, please go, I won't stop you! Zheng Wancai coaxed and frightened, and finally spent a very small amount of money, so he put all these fleets under the account, and he said to the maritime merchants below with a flushed face, "Okay, since it is a family, then let's talk about a family, such a king forbids the sea, I dare not break this rule, but since the sea is to be banned, this sailor must be strengthened, otherwise what will you use to arrest those who dare to violate the ban, are you right?" ”

"Yes, yes, what you said is very true!"

"Yes, that's it, you have to catch it hard!"

Zheng Wancai listened to the flattery below, nodded and said, "If the sailor wants to be strengthened, then you need ships and sailors, I think your ships are good, just for the ships of the sailors, and you, I think you all have experience at sea, you can be in the army, and you will be a general in the future, isn't it just two pennies?" ”

Everyone understood that this was to ask them to go to sea in the name of sailors, and then go to trade, everyone looked at each other, yes, from merchants to generals, it can be regarded as a reward.

"Obey your orders!"

Zheng Wancai looked at the respectful appearance below, and couldn't help laughing, with so many ships and experienced merchants and sailors, he couldn't imagine what the Zheng family would be like in the future.

There are no secrets between the nobles, thanks to the results of the marriage between these nobles, and I don't know who made the first move, anyway, winter has not completely come, the original caravan ships have been divided up seventy-seven eighty-eight, these ships go to sea in the name of various official ships, but the profits are all engulfed by those nobles, and with the increasing number of Goryeo "official caravans", the price of Goryeo goods handed over to the building has also dropped.

- Kaijing Imperial Palace

"Smack!" Wang Yu looked at the man kneeling on the ground with red eyes, the man bowed his head stiffly, and next to him was a broken and scattered piece, which had just been smashed. He asked, "Why is the profit so much less this time than the last time, are you insulting this king?" ”

The distance between Goryeo and Jeju is very close, so you can run back and forth in a short time, as long as there is goods, you can keep running back and forth, and the goods, for Wang Mata, are not too much.

"The King... The minister is guilty, but the minister will never dare to be greedy for the money of the court! The man cried and said, "The reason for the decrease in profits this time is that there are too many caravans and too many goods going to Jeju Island, so the price cannot go up...."

The reason why Wang Mata acquiesced to the status quo of Jeju Island and cooperated with the forbidden sea was that he thought that the royal family's caravan could bring more profits, but the reality was that the profits were far lower than his bottom line, which made him not angry.

The king's wrath and bleeding for thousands of miles, he decided to beat the nobles.
