Chapter 327: Procurement The Waiko Returns

There is actually coal and iron in North Korea, which is really Jiang Feng's unexpected joy, and there are also merchants in North Korea who distribute all kinds of goods, including former majestic officials and businessmen, as well as ordinary businessmen in China.

Businessmen are the most shameless in their heavy profits. In the past, the source of profits of Korean merchants was in trade with the Ming Dynasty, relying on various specialties produced in Korea, such as ginseng and mink, deer antler velvet and other things to trade with the Ming Dynasty.

Although Jiang Feng has no contact with the Ming Dynasty now, the various guards handed over by Liaoning and North Korea have invariably begun to strictly control the border, saying that it is to strictly prevent the Mongolian Tatars.

Although the big merchants of North Korea lost the opportunity to do business with the Ming Dynasty, Jiang Feng's demand for iron and various raw materials made some people develop again, and the Korean court was a life-and-death struggle between the Shilin faction and the Xun old faction.

The merchants are also dependent on these two factions, the killing of Tongde Lang Jin Zhengwu, the purge of the Shilin faction, also bankrupted a large number of businessmen who were attached to these officials, and at the same time, the merchants of the Li Rengong faction of the old school of pro-Xun had a better opportunity, that is, Jiang Feng's procurement needs, Jiang Feng's original preparation was to kill all these merchants and use all their property as military funds, but Liu Twelve dissuaded him.

Now Jiang Feng in North Korea actually only occupies the port of Inchon and a place in the south, and the advantage is that there are 10,000 strong troops, as well as nearly 30 warships and hundreds of merchant ships, and firmly control the ruling forces of North Korea in their hands, but now they can only grasp a few points, and the surface can not be controlled, although Liu 12 did not participate in the military manufacturing of Jiang Jiajun.

However, he also knew that these weapons, including ships, required a large amount of raw material consumption, and now in North Korea, it is obviously impossible to buy them from the original production areas, and the transportation cost of the ships will be very high, not to mention the money that these ships have lost in trade.

Moreover, more than a year has passed in North Korea, the original fleet has been re-established, and the money-making machine of maritime trade has begun to turn again, and the slaughter of North Korea's pro-noble merchants may not have any great benefit.

Although a large number of Korean slaves died outside the Guan, their income and living conditions have increased a lot, which is a good thing, and these people on the Korean Peninsula are far less fierce and unyielding than they were when Jiang Feng had not yet crossed, and their own media propaganda was so strong and unyielding.

The weakest ethnic group in the whole of Northeast Asia, the Koreans, are undoubtedly living more comfortably than before, and the power seems to be much greater.

What Liu Twelve is worried about is that if those officials and businessmen are killed, the royal family and ministers of North Korea will be in danger of themselves, after all, this is on the other party's territory, if there is a trouble, although the Jiang family's army is very confident to suppress it, but it is also a trouble after all, and if it is not good, it will alarm the Ming court.

And to keep these merchants, the merchants are very profitable, and the amount of silver taels of Jiang Feng's sea trade is huge, which is used to purchase various raw materials, and these merchants must have benefited a lot, since they have made money from Jiang Feng, they are naturally closer to the Jiang family's army, which is convenient for a more stable rule.

Of course, Jiang Feng was not in a hurry to kill the pig, so he simply followed Liu Twelve's advice. Specially asked the real ruler of North Korea, Bai Shanjun Li Rengong, to come forward to gather qualified businessmen in North Korea, and Wang Qinian came forward to list all kinds of materials needed by Jiang Jiajun.

These Korean businessmen originally thought that this army was going to come to apportionment or money, but they were all trembling, calculating how much they would have to break to escape, but no one thought that this bandit army, which was fierce and vicious in the mouths of officials, would actually want to buy things from them.

The price is actually negotiable between the two sides, and Wang Qinian also promised that as long as the raw material business is done well, Jiang Jiajun will consider giving them a quota to go to sea, which is really a huge temptation of interests, although they can only follow Jiang Feng's fleet, but going out once is a piece of silver.

Although the prices of the raw materials finally negotiated are relatively thin, they cannot stand the particularly large quantity required by Dengzhou, so as long as it ensures a steady stream of business, it is still quite considerable.

Jiang Feng didn't know what mineral deposits North Korea had, but there was no shortage of coal and iron in North Korea, but there was no demand in North Korea at all, and these things could not be traded or plundered, so naturally no one cared about them, of course, these were just the economic conditions of the Ming Dynasty.

Jiang Jiajun offered a price here, Wang Qinian and Zhao Xiucai calculated for a long time, thinking that these prices were already much cheaper than in the Ming Dynasty, but this price was in the eyes of North Korean businessmen, but there was a lot of oil and water to be made. Such mutually beneficial things.

For a time, all the big towns in Korea were full of praise for the army stationed in Incheon as the "army of benevolence and righteousness, and it is a blessing for Korea for such an army to come to Korea!" ’

This kind of thing seems to be extremely ironic, on the one hand, the small and medium-sized landlords and peasants in North Korea are panicking, for fear that one day they will be captured by the army that breaks through the door, and it is said that there is no possibility of returning to the cold place they are sent to; On the other side, officials and wealthy businessmen from top to bottom of North Korea praised the Jiang family army as the army of benevolence and righteousness, and it was clear that the Jiang family army was late.

It can be seen that there are things that are servile, betraying the country to seek glory, and being complacent, and enjoying it, both ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign.

Between Incheon and Seoul, it has been completely military fortressed, a large number of Korean slaves were enclosed here in Incheon City to build fortifications and fortresses before they were sold, and now the Incheon city wall has been heightened and thickened, and newly cast artillery is placed on the top of the city.

In the city, the original private houses and official offices have been demolished, and now in Incheon City, only in the newly built stone fort in the center and the surrounding school grounds, now two-thirds of the 2,000 veterans around Jiang Feng have begun to be scattered to other teams to serve as officers at all levels, and now these 10,000 people are still distributed according to the subordinates in Shandong that day, but in fact they are all Jiang Feng's direct commanders.

Among the sources of these 10,000 soldiers, most of them are young and strong people who are coerced by Chen Deaf, most of these people are people who have no concern, and the Dengzhou camp also has rules that day, if there are still families in Shandong, they can be arranged by the battalion, and they are dealt with according to the style of military households.

Whether it is a veteran or a new soldier, their families are not in the civil guard, after Kim Jong-wu was raided, the manor of the Shilin faction became a place to place these people, this place is directly under the management of Wang Qinian, called Hui Fengwei, of course, these people do not know that this is the name of the restaurant.

Tie Dan is running a reclamation manor outside the Guan, and the matter has reached such a point, Wang Qinian has no need to run a restaurant in Tianjin, the Jingshi of Huifeng Building, Tianjin Wei and the restaurant in Hangzhou were all directly sent to Liu Shunhua's name, after all, this Jiang Feng's father-in-law needs silver in his current situation, but he is recuperating at home.

In June of the thirteenth year of Jiajing, the Japanese suddenly swept the Xiangshan, and the Xiangshan was already in ruins, but when this matter had not subsided, the Japanese appeared under the city of Hangzhou, but fortunately, the city of Hangzhou had already received the news in advance and closed the city gate in advance.

However, the small traders and farmers outside the city who did not enter the city were slaughtered by hundreds of pirates, and their corpses were strewn all over the field.

Several sea routes, which were originally considered safe, also began to cause trouble, many sea ships were killed and burned, and the goods at sea were looted.

Deng Fang and Xu Qi of Liuheng Shuangyu were extremely angry, and sent a large number of people to investigate and find the leaders of the Japanese pirates entrenched on the islands of Fujian and Jiangsu to find out who had done these things.

As a result, there was no difficult process of verification, and the truth soon surfaced that Xia Qingjiao from Fujian and Zhiju Zhongshou from Jiangsu did these things together.

In recent years, the sea north of Fujian has almost been controlled by Deng Fang and Xu Qi as if it were an iron barrel, and Jiang Feng's armed fleet is also majestic, which is not to say that Shuangyu and Jiang Feng have a complete monopoly, but because of their strong force, it is unlikely that others can make a fortune by looting, and only do business in a proper manner.

Xia Qingjiao is not a person who is not a good person, Zheju Zhongshou is a thief who thinks that robbery is faster than doing business to make money, after the two sides united, they also know that they can't afford to provoke Jiang Feng, so they are all doing business at sea in Guangdong and Nanyang, and the business at these times is also a big deal, and his subordinates can also be said to be strong and strong, and he is even more successful in Zhongshou, and it is said that he was named a famous naval general in Kyushu.

The greater the strength, the greater the ambition, Jiang Feng left Dengzhou, Xia Qingjiao suddenly couldn't hold back, and directly started to do it.

Before the news of the resumption of the Japanese invaders reached Jiang Feng's ears, a strange guest arrived in Incheon: a white man in rags......
