Chapter 530: Disappearing into History
Wen Tiren, who had just become the first assistant, was originally a conspirator, and he was very clear in dealing with the North Korean issue, allowing the Koreans to fight with Jiannu in a mess, and the Ming Dynasty could reap the benefits of the fisherman.
Even the moral gentleman Huang Daozhou did not give the Goryeo envoys a good face, and quoted scriptures to split their heads and cover their faces.
The war of words of the Zodiac Zhou can completely destroy ninety percent of the great Ming scholars, and the little poor Confucianism mastered by the Koreans can only satisfy bragging, and of course they have no place to stand on the ground.
The results are self-evident, and the two Korean envoys returned to Ganghwa Island from Tianjinwei to resume their lives.
When they returned by boat, they happened to meet a large sailor at sea, and their hearts were filled with hope.
As a result, Li Shi and Jin Zidian followed the "Red Banner Army" water camp that returned from the Japanese trade to Lushunkou.
Huang Yong, the master of the water camp, whose priority was trade, knew that bringing back food was a top priority, and this time he did not attack the pirate lair.
Due to the small number of encounters with a large number of merchant fleets, the harvest of the water camp robbery at sea was not too great.
In total, more than 20 ships were captured, including the Zhuyin ship and the No. 2 Fu ship, and two deck warships of the East India Company, namely the Kaczwijk and the Texel.
Huang Yong sold porcelain, silk, cotton, ironware, tea and other high value-added commodities not only bought the copper ingots, sulfur, saltpeter, lead and other raw materials in the agreement, but also brought back nearly 500,000 stone of Japanese polished rice.
Huang Yong not only paid the cash in full to buy grain, but also paid a deposit of 30% to order 500,000 stone again, and the merchants of the Japanese Kingdom were the same as the Ming Dynasty, all of them were the agents of the major names.
The daimyo of the Japanese kingdom had land in their hands, and seeing that it was profitable to cultivate and produce rice, they were already increasing the sown area and building water conservancy facilities.
Originally, I was worried that the purchase of grain by the Ming Dynasty would not be normalized, but after seeing the deposit of 30%, all the officials and businessmen of the Japanese State put their hearts in their stomachs, and they made a high-profile statement to guarantee that when the Ming fleet arrived in May next year, the milled rice stored in the port of Nagasaki would not be less than 500,000 stones.
As rice was able to be exported, the grain price of the Japanese country rose by more than 10%, and the price of 1 tael of silver and 3 stone polished rice that had been maintained for decades became a thing of the past.
Now it has reached four or five coins of silver and one stone of polished rice, and the landlords and peasants feel that it is profitable, and the enthusiasm for production is undoubted, so the merchants have confidence.
The two Korean ministers failed to meet with the Ming Dynasty's supreme governor at Lushunkou, and they were told that the chief general, Dongpinghou, had led his men and horses on a business trip to the interior of the Ming Dynasty, and that Shen Ming had finally received the two Korean envoys on board the Udwater.
The Koreans had already been rejected by the Ming Emperor to send troops, and they retreated to the second place, in a vain attempt to promise a large amount of money to the army of the Marquis of Dongping to relieve their urgent needs.
How could Shen Ming be able to call the shots in such a big matter? Huang Yong, the main general of the water camp, and Song Pengfei, the main general of the Liaonan garrison, could not make a decision, so Huang Yong sent a sentinel ship to Tianjin Wei, and soon 600 li was rushed to Huang Han, who was repairing in Houjiazhuang with men and horses.
Huang Han took a concubine again, and he accepted a pair, but he did not have a round house with his sisters in the army, and clearly informed the two little girls that although there were a large number of women in the "Red Flag Army", they were all soldiers and staff.
They can choose to stay in the army to assist them in handling paperwork, or they can go to the Jingshi Marquis Mansion to help Zheng Xiu'e and Chu Chu run a business, all in all, the women of the Huang family can work, and they don't need to go out of the door.
Xu Miaoyan and Xu Miaoru, who were as happy as little swallows because they got their wishes, were even happier when they heard these words, of course they were willing to stay by their husband's side all the time, and they became clerks.
The sisters also stayed in the women's area of the pro-guard battalion at night, and came to the Chinese army in the morning to do copywriting work similar to that of a confidential secretary. Of course, the young guards on duty at night were Lin Shunwen, Shen Youluo, and Wang Ying.
In the temporary line in Houjiazhuang, after Xu Miaoyan read Huang Yong's urgent official document, Huang Han fell into deep thought.
At this time, the time is not ripe to get involved in North Korea, and Huang Han and the conspirator Red Gang have the same idea, and they also think that if they are not broken, they will not stand.
It was only after the Houjin Army had beaten the entire Korean Peninsula to pieces, killed people in panic, and squeezed them to the point that they had no idea of life before they could take action to pick peaches.
At that time, the Ming army appeared in front of the surviving Goryeo sticks in the glorious image of the savior, and as long as their treatment was raised a little, they could get millions of peasants who produced food, so why not?
Moreover, there was no shortage of population in the Ming Dynasty, and the main purpose of the Huang Han was to seize the territory to settle the refugees of the Shanxi, Shaanxi and Henan wars.
When the "Red Banner Army" was dispatched to take the Korean Peninsula, the fewer Koreans were still alive, the better.
After considering the maturity, Huang Han dictated, and asked Xu Miaoru, who had already sharpened the ink and held a brush to standby, to write a letter, explaining that Shen Ming was responsible for contacting the Koreans, and that the "Red Banner Army" would not send a single soldier to participate in the war, but would send merchant ships to Ganghwado, Seoul, Jeolla Province and other ports to receive the fleeing Koreans.
There was no intention of preparing to save the Koreans, so they would not accept a single refugee, but in order to save the huge wealth that was about to be lost, they had to take over a part of the landlords and nobles who had gold and silver treasures.
Let them bring capital to live in Lushunkou and Qingniwa, and allow them to do business and invest in workshops.
It is estimated that if such a move is taken, a lot of the wealth of North Korea will flow into Liaonan, so that the benefits will not be taken by Jiannu.
The Korean Peninsula is poor in mineral resources, and South Korea has a population of more than 50 million, so not only does it need to import 60 or 70 percent of the total amount of grain, but all industrial raw materials must also be shipped to China for deep processing.
This shows that the grain produced in the areas south of the 38th parallel can only meet the needs of 15 million to 20 million people, and according to this calculation, half of the DPRK can reclaim about 20 million mu of farmland, and the total number of acres of farmland in the DPRK as a whole should be doubled, because the territory of North Korea is even larger.
The territory of Korea south of Kaesong is at the same latitude as Daming Shandong Province, and the latitude of the Han River Plain, including the south, is almost the same as that of Nam Zhili, and the main crop is rice, which can be cultivated as far back as 500 BC.
It is not because the people are reluctant to give the people acres of land to cultivate, but because the paddy fields are difficult to serve, and the 50 mu of rice per household is simply too busy, so it is most appropriate to give 20 mu of land.
Since the rice and wheat are interplanted every year, the harvest obtained by the tunhu households is higher than that of 50 acres of dryland in the north.
Since history has gone astray, and Jiannu wants to destroy Goryeo, they will let this country disappear into history! lest someone start to rob Li Bai again after the Dragon Boat Festival.
