Concubine Xian, who was sitting next to Li Liang, was also frightened and her face turned pale, stretched out her little hand to cover her upright chest, and said in a trembling voice: "Lord Wang, is this true?" Will the Qing army come again? ”

"That's not good!" Wang Yue said in a deep voice: "I'm just worried that your North Korea is so empty, so I make a kind reminder so as not to be caught off guard again."

Wang Yue said this, and now everyone knew the seriousness of the matter, and they peeked at each other one by one, only Wang Yue, Feng Yuanshan, Li Zixuan and others were slowly tasting rice wine on the side.

The Korean civil and military officials finally came to their senses, and after a while, their eyes were focused on Wang Yue.

"Lord Wang, don't leave yet, you can't leave North Korea alone!"

"Lord Wang, you better stay in North Korea!"

"Lord Wang, the Qing army is coming again, what can we do?"

At this time, everyone was dumbfounded, and when they thought that the Qing army would come again, they would be frightened, and they had already learned the cruelty and horror of the Qing army.

The civil and military officials of North Korea shouted one after another, and the momentum seemed to mean that Wang Yue was going to be a nanny.

Wang Yue pressed his hands weakly to make them stop shouting, and said in embarrassment: "As an official of the Celestial Empire, I can't stay in Korea for a long time. What's more, we have completed the task of aiding the DPRK this time, and we must return to the DPRK to hand over the order! ”

Jin Riguang, who was bent on hoping that Wang Yue would leave quickly, had no choice but to look at his own boss sitting in front of him. North Korea's 3,000 miles of rivers and mountains are yours, you can't let us do everything, and now it's your turn to go out.

Li Liang had no choice but to put on a smile and said to Wang Yue: "Virtuous son-in-law, you have to rush back to hand over the order, and then marry Xuezhu, I won't stop you, I just hope you can stay in North Korea for a while longer, okay?" ”

In order to get closer, Li Liang called Wang Yue his son-in-law in advance.

Wang Yue frowned and said, "Your Highness, it's not that your son-in-law doesn't understand people!" There are still hundreds of thousands of people to manage in my starting city, and the Qing army doesn't know when it will come again. It's been a long day, and it's really not a solution! ”

"What then?" Li Liang was also panicked, he couldn't wait for the Qing army to come over again, and he was going to invite Wang Yue, right? How many people will die in North Korea at that time?

"Virtuous son-in-law, for Xuezhu's sake, you can save us from North Korea." The virtuous concubine on the side saw her husband so embarrassed, and she also pleaded.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Wang Yue also felt that the foreplay had been played enough, and it would be too much if he continued to act. He pretended to be embarrassed and thought about it, before frowning and said: "That's it, I have a way, let's see if it works, if you think it's not feasible, then when I don't say anything, what do you think?" ”

"Lord Wang, please say, what is the solution?" Everyone looked at Wang Yue with blank eyes.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Wang Yue smiled slightly and said: "As I said just now, as an official of the imperial court, this official has a huge foundation in the starting city, and he can't stay in North Korea for a long time. ”

Hearing this, everyone's mood darkened. Yes, they are officials of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no reason or obligation to be stationed in North Korea for a long time to be your nanny, although you have a princess.

However, Wang Yue's next words gave them hope again.

"But there are no absolutes, and there is no way to help you." Speaking of this, Pang Gang's gaze also specially swirled on the faces of Licao Judge, Jin Riguang and Li Liang.

"Virtuous son-in-law, you should say it quickly!" Li Liang was obviously in a hurry.

Wang Yue said slowly: "The hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Dongjiang Town have been crowded on several small islands for a long time, and their lives are very inconvenient, so I plan to move them to North Korea. After all, these are my Ming people, so I have a reason to leave some troops to help you defend the Manchus. ”

"However, these soldiers and civilians still have to solve their living problems after they go ashore, so I hope that you North Korean side can allocate some land for them to cultivate, and I will find a way to find other living materials."

The number of more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians is indeed quite a lot, but the increase in population will certainly not be rejected by the DPRK side, and this time the Qing army entered the country, the DPRK lost hundreds of thousands of people, and a lot of land will face desolation.

Li Liang said with a happy face: "No problem, no problem, I will ask Hu Cao to count the land in which places there is a shortage of people to cultivate, and I will distribute it to them." ”

An increase in population means an increase in taxes, and of course he is full of promises.

However, Wang Yue said: "These people are all my Ming people, they belong to Dongjiang Town, so the taxes of these people should belong to Dongjiang Town, and their management should also be managed by Dongjiang Town, and our Tiance Army will also cooperate with Dongjiang Town to manage these people." ”

"Therefore, if any of these people violates the law, they will be punished in accordance with the regulations on the management of our starting city, and the North Korean side has no right to deal with it."

The tax revenue of Donggang Town is mainly agricultural tax, and the starting point city does not look down on it, and the tax on these people is still the name of Donggang Town, which is justified and distinguished from the local Koreans in legal theory. The law is based on the city of the starting point, laying the foundation for the future admission of these people.

As soon as Wang Yue finished speaking, the people in the hall were already in an uproar.

Jin Riguang, who was over sixty years old, jumped up at once as if a spring had been installed under his buttocks, he stood in place, the beard under his chin trembled with anger, and pointed at Wang Yue and shouted: "Lord Wang, this matter is impossible, this is an unprecedented thing in history!" ”

The North Korean officials in the hall also looked at Wang Yue in unison, with suspicion and anger in their eyes. Oh, you are cultivating the land of my North Korea, you don't pay a dime, you can still take care of yourself if you make a mistake, what is nothing to do with our North Korea?

Wang Yue snorted and said, "Aren't these people my Ming people?" As a state of Fan, does North Korea want to annex the population of the mother country? Moreover, the troops left behind by our Tiance Army do not need military expenses, and these taxes are only used to offset military expenses. If you North Korea can pay for the military expenses of our Tiance Army, we don't want these taxes. ”

The equipment of the Cheonce Army, these Koreans have also observed. This is an army of iron, an army of steel, although I can't understand it, I also know that it is worth a lot.

Just because I can't understand it, isn't that how much military spending Wang Yue said? It is estimated that it cannot afford to sell Korea, but this is a force that can easily defeat the 120,000 Qing army.

According to the military expenditure of 120,000 traditional troops, it is also an astronomical amount, and the taxes of more than 100,000 people are simply not enough.

The civil and military ministers of North Korea all looked at each other and were silent, Wang Yue looked at their expressions in his eyes, shook his head and said: "Don't be embarrassed, just let me not mention it, come!" Keep eating, keep drinking!
