After all, the young Yoshitomo has experienced very little, and although he knows that his father's words are right, he doesn't feel it deeply after all. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

But another Oriental monarch in his thirties is now deeply touched by this.

"Brother Yide, from now on, you and I will live in harmony, and we will never garrison troops on the border, and if a Korean prisoner escapes to me, I will definitely send him back for punishment; If there are prisoners of my Yongfan who flee to Korea," said a young man dressed in the dark costume of Prince Daming, with a deliberate pause.

"I will be sent back for punishment." Another middle-aged man, who was also wearing a costume similar to that of Prince Daming, was busy answering, although his face was unswerving.

"Haha, Brother Yide, since that's the case, let's drink this cup full." The young man from earlier raised his glass as he spoke. The middle-aged man could only accompany him to drink it all.

The young man in front was naturally Yongwang Zhu Yunxi, and the middle-aged man in his thirties behind him was Zhu Fangyuan, the king of Joseon. Zhu Fangyuan took the word Legacy, so Zhu Yunxi called him Brother Legacy; Zhu Yunxi took the word Liquen, so Zhu Fangyuan also called him Brother Liquen.

Zhu Fangyuan was very surprised when he learned that a village belonging to Yongfan appeared on the north bank of the Tumen River, and immediately sent people to set up a village on the south bank of the Tumen River, and immediately sent an envoy to Yongfan again to discuss the border division with Zhu Yunxi.

Zhu Yunxi shirked three or four times, and it was not until Zhu Fangyuan came to the south bank of the Tumen River recently that he finally couldn't shirk it, and came from Vladivostok to the place he named Beichuan on the north bank of the Tumen River to negotiate with Zhu Fangyuan.

On the border issue, because people are more important than land, the negotiators easily reached an agreement: the Tumen River is the boundary between the two countries. But other things are not so easy to solve.

Zhu Fangyuan asked Zhu Yunxi to send all the Koreans in the territory back to North Korea, but how could Zhu Yunxi agree, how many people are there in Yongfan now, and if they are all sent back to North Korea, where will he still have the manpower to start construction? So he said: "These Korean people naturally belong to the Korean state, but they voluntarily come to work in my Yongfan, and my Yongfan does not abuse them in the slightest, they come and go freely, and it is inconvenient for them to interfere." "Zhu Yunxi uses 'lonely' when he speaks, which is playing an official tone.

Of course, Zhu Fangyuan would not accept it: "Brother Liqu, since you have recognized them as my Korean people, then it is only right for me to let them return to China, how can I say that they are free to come and go?" He wanted to say: Do you allow people to come and go freely in the Ming Dynasty! But the words swirled around and swallowed back.

Zhu Yunxi naturally has another set of rhetoric: "......"

The two fought for a long time, and finally Zhu Yunxi agreed to send back some of the North Koreans back to China, but North Korea had to provide some Jurchen slaves, which he bought at a high price.

Although Zhu Fangyuan was reluctant to sell the Jurchens he caught, he had to agree in the end. In his heart, he was thinking about selling those who had just been caught and who had not yet returned to Zhu Yunxi.

After that, the matter was relatively easy to settle, and the two sides agreed not to take in the fugitives of the other side, and the other side would be repatriated if they pursued it. This matter is also a little bit taken advantage of by Yongfan. North Korea's main population areas are in the central and southern parts of the peninsula, and there are hardly any fugitives who can escape the Tumen River, and many of them escape the Yalu River; And the core area of the Yongfan is near here, and there will definitely be people running this way.

The two sides also agreed to jointly march to wipe out the Jurchen tribes on both sides of the Tumen River, and they had serious discussions on the scale of their respective troops, the selection of commanders, the time of using troops, and the distribution of booty, and reluctantly reached an agreement.

But no matter what, the two sides have always been relatively elegant during the negotiation process, and Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Fangyuan have always smiled at each other when they occasionally appear in person, and there is no disrespect to each other.

Today is the second day after the negotiation is completed, and Zhu Fangyuan invited Zhu Yunxi to a banquet the day before, and Zhu Yunxi naturally wants to invite him back today.

But since the beginning of the banquet today, Zhu Fangyuan's expression has been very unswerving, although he barely squeezed out a smile when Zhu Yunxi spoke to him, it was also very ugly.

Zhu Yunxi thought in his heart: 'Could it be that he has some opinions on the outcome of the negotiations a few days ago?' No, even if you really don't want to, you won't put on a stinky face to show me. ’

After all, he was still young, and he was only sixteen years old this year, and after three rounds of drinking, he couldn't help but ask, "Brother Yide, what's wrong with you?" Such an ugly complexion? ”

Zhu Fangyuan thought that you would be able to know about this in a few days, so he said frankly: "Don't hide it from Brother Liqu, at the beginning of this year, I sent a fleet to explore northward, but recently I learned that they first encountered a large number of pirates and suffered heavy losses, and then encountered a storm on the Yongming Sea, and the fleet was wiped out. ”

"These fleets account for half of our North Korean naval divisions, and it will be difficult for our North Korean to replenish all these lost naval divisions for a while, so I am worried."

Zhu Yunxi's first reaction was to gloat: You have to compete with me for a while, but I didn't expect to lose so much at once, and no matter how much you get from me, you can't make up for it; And you sent a sailor to see that you want to get gold from Jinning, and you deserve to be greedy for things that don't belong to you!

Of course, he couldn't say that on the surface, and persuaded Zhu Fangyuan a few words.

He was persuading, when he suddenly had an idea, and said to Zhu Fangyuan: "It will be difficult for the Korean country to build so many ships to fill the vacancy for a while and a half, but Daming has a ship!" With North Korea's respect for the imperial court, it must be allowed to buy some warships from the Ming Dynasty and return to the imperial brother. ”

Zhu Fangyuan said with a wry smile: "Brother Liqu, if you buy a ship from Daming, even if Your Majesty is willing to take care of North Korea, even if the ship is cheaper, it will always cost money." I don't have that much money right now. In fact, although North Korea is poor, if he empties all his family funds, he can also take out the money of a sailor. But then there will be no money in the North Korean treasury, and how will he respond if something happens again?

Zhu Yunxi persuaded Zhu Fangyuan a few more words, but Zhu Fangyuan began to borrow money in a low voice.

Zhu Yunxi suddenly understood why he put on such an expression at today's banquet. Zhu Fangyuan is thirty-four years old this year, he has personally been on the battlefield, and he has experienced the prince's rebellion and seized the throne, how can he not even have this little self-cultivation?

Apparently, he deliberately put on this expression to cause Zhu Yunxi to ask, and then he took the opportunity to tell what happened in North Korea and borrowed money from Zhu Yunxi.

Zhu Yunxi secretly cursed the old fox in his heart, and then thought about how to shirk it. He didn't dare to give Yongfan's money to North Korea for nothing, and he was afraid that Zhu Fangyuan would use this to negotiate any conditions when repaying the money, so he was reluctant to borrow money.

But since the conversation has reached this point, it is a little inappropriate to be unproductive, especially in the negotiations a few days ago, Yongfan took advantage.

Zhu Yunxi secretly scolded the old fox in his heart again, and began to think about how much money to give Zhu Fangyuan so that he would no longer cry to himself. He thought of a number and was about to speak, when suddenly Li Qing, the right minister of the Yong Domain, who also came to the banquet today, came over to toast, and Zhu Fangyuan hurriedly picked up the wine glass and drank a glass with Li Qing.

After that, Li Qing said to Zhu Fangyuan: "Your Royal Highness the King of Korea, the minister just heard His Highness say that your country's sailor has lost half of it, but you don't have enough money to rebuild it for the time being?" ”

"That's true." Zhu Fangyuan said. Although it is a bit embarrassing to admit this fact, North Korea is a small country and does not have so much dignity, as long as it can borrow money from Zhu Fangyuan, it can only care whether it is ashamed or not.

Li Qing said: "Your Highness, even if I lend Your Highness a sum of money, it is just a dead money, and there is no follow-up, and the minister has thought of a new way for Your Highness, so that there can be a steady stream of living money in your account." ”

"What's the solution?" Zhu Fangyuan was a little puzzled. Could it be that they have to buy a lot of things from North Korea? But this is not a new approach.

"Your Highness, there must be people in your country who have been sentenced to exile for various reasons. These people can be used in your country. ”

"My Eternal Domain is now very short of labor, and Your Highness may send these men to work in my Eternal Domain, and according to the amount of work they have done, we will pay the remuneration due to your court. Because of our sparse population, the price paid to these laborers is very high, so that your country will not use them to make money? ”

The method that Li Qing said was told to him by Yun Xi, but it was not Yun Xi's first creation. Historically, after 2000, the Chinese people had some money in their hands, and the cost of hiring workers in factories rose sharply, and some entrepreneurs in the northeast took up the idea of the Koreans.

The North Korean side organized its own people and sent them to work in factories in China. Although the factory provided accommodation and three meals, the Huaxia people did not contact these North Korean workers at all, and everything was communicated with the leaders, and the final remuneration was paid to the representatives of the North Korean government. According to what Yun Xi learned in his previous life, the monthly salary paid to each worker in Huaxia around 2012 was 1,000 to 1,500 yuan, but the actual salary received by North Korean workers was much less than that.

Zhu Fangyuan was a little confused by Li Qing's method for a while: This is also possible?

But after thinking about it, he felt that although it was a bit embarrassing, as long as these people who had been sent to work in the past remained under the control of their own country, it was nothing.

The remuneration given to labor by Yongfan is too high, as long as you work hard for a month, you can get a consistent salary, and those who do the most dangerous work can get as much as three times a month! In North Korea, even during the busy agricultural season, the wage of a laborer will not exceed 300 yuan.

Zhu Fangyuan did not express his position on the spot, but the next day he asked the officials he brought over to have a detailed discussion with Li Qing, and after a few more days of negotiations, the two sides reached an agreement.

Zhu Fangyuan breathed a sigh of relief: he finally had money; Zhu Yunxi also breathed a sigh of relief: he had enough labor to work again.
