It has been several days since the caravan received the goods, and most of the goods have been transferred to the place, not all of them are placed here. But! All goods will not be released from the country until the Korean side has accepted the horses.

After reading all the goods, Bai Gui had an approximate number in his heart. On the Korean side, it is true that not only 3,000 horses are bought, but 5,000. He didn't know exactly how much. Right now! What he needed most was a concrete number. Such! It's good to arrange things over there in Zhongshan.

If there are too many of them, you have to hurry up from the prairie to the horses. To know! He has less than 20,000 horses in Lan Gongzi's ranch. Coupled with the horses in the hands of those traders in Yinshan Town, there will not be more than 23,000.

The average small trader has three or five hundred horses in his hands, and he will reach the sky. Who would hoard so many horses. How much money do you get for accumulating so many horses? Not to mention the cost of the horse, what about the forage that the horse eats every day and the salary of the breeder?

Furthermore! Ordinary small traders do not have pastures. So! Normally, they would have thirty or fifty horses in their hands.

What if Korea wants 5,000 horses? And what about the state of Chu? With the economic capacity of the Chu State, 20,000 horses can be bought. Of course! I won't buy 20,000 horses at once. But! If Chu learned that Korea had bought 5,000 horses, they would have to buy at least 10,000 horses. That's the only way! in order to maintain the balance of military power.

On the third day, South Korean Foreign Minister Shin Bu Harm came.

Now Shin is not harmful, and he is already the foreign minister of South Korea. Last time, he was a special envoy, and after successfully completing the envoy mission, Han Jun gave him the position of foreign minister. But! On the surface, he was the foreign minister, but he did not exercise the duties of the foreign minister, and still stayed by Han Jun's side to help him deal with state affairs.

is called the foreign minister, but it is actually the Korean minister, the real prime minister.

Because the promotion was too fast, Han Jun did not dare to formally appoint Shen Buxian. After all! There are still hereditary nobles and old ministers in the court. Those people, in the name of serving the country and the people, may interfere with you.

"Shenzi!"

"White officials!"

When the two met, they seemed particularly affectionate. He didn't bow down and salute, but ran over and clasped his hands tightly. And then! It's a warm embrace.

After some intimacy, they held hands, entered the house, and sat down face to face.

"White officials! Thank you! The horse you gave to Han Jun is a real thousand-mile horse, and Han Jun likes it very much. This horse can not only run, but also has a special relationship with the Lord! Thank you! Thank you on behalf of the Lord! ”

"No thanks! You're welcome! If only the Lord liked it! If you like it! The lord's reputation is outside, and Bai Gui has already heard about it, but he doesn't have time to kneel down! ……”

"Where? Where! White officials! This time I'm in South Korea, so let's go to Handu! Han Jun is waiting for you! ”

"This time?" Bai Gui looked embarrassed and said, "This time! I really don't have time! When the horse is sold, it can be idle! Alas! ……”

"White officials! Alas! Shen Buxian also sighed: "Baiguan, where do you have free time?" This winter is coming, I'm afraid you're busy with the poor again, right? ”

Talking! Shin Buxian looked at Baekyu with a concerned expression.

"Yes! Winter is coming, how many people are unclothed and unable to survive the winter! After winter, another year of famine came! And those kings and hereditary nobles only knew about increasing taxes, but they did not know the suffering of the people. I only know that I enjoy life, but I don't know that food and clothing are not easy to come by! Alas! Am I a businessman? Why did you get this in mind? ”

"White officials are worried about the country and the people, and their compassion is good! Shen Buxi was deeply moved, and he should take the white officials as an example! Be an official for a day and a citizen for a day, and never seek personal gain! Shen Buxian arched his hand and said.

"Shen Zi should learn from Han Jun! Han Jun's country, but there are not many poor people! Bai Gui complimented.

In fact! The current king of Korea has no merit. But! There was no great fault either. It can only be said! Han Jun just maintained the status quo of the country. It's not a faint king, but it's not an absolute Ming monarch either. As long as you listen to the ministers, there is no great fault.

This is not? Businessman, where can you casually speak ill of others?

"The Lord has a problem, too! White officials! Shen Buxian sighed: "In this troubled world, we are all involuntarily! As a king, sometimes it's harder! Not only can they not be able to do it themselves, but they can also bring the people of a country into a land of no return! ”

"yes!" Bai Gui nodded in response.

"We in South Korea are surrounded by strong countries! There are Qi and Chu in the east, Wei in the west, and Zhao in the north. Even the little Song Kingdom still wants to bully us! We, South Korea, are caught in the middle of a strong country, form an alliance with Qi Chu, and offend the Wei State. Formed an alliance with Wei and offended Qi Chu again. Whoever you ally with, you are bound to offend the other.

Just like the Song State back then, sandwiched between the Chu State and the Jin State, no matter what you do, you have to offend one side. At last! In this kind of crack, it became the Song Kingdom today.

Right now! We, South Korea, have become the second in the Song Kingdom! Originally! South Korea is also a member of the three divisions, and it also has its own strength. But! Under the suppression of Chu and Wei, it is already getting weaker and weaker!

White officials! Shen is in a hurry! Shen can't serve the country and the people, and Shen is in vain for life! ”

"Shen Zi is a master!" Bai Gui arched his hand and said, "Bai Gui is proud to have you as a friend. ”

"Thank you! Thank you! Shin stood up, left his seat, and respectfully gave Bai Gui a big salute.

"Where? Where! Sit! Sit! Drink! Bai Gui hurriedly greeted.

Shen Buxian returned to his seat, looking serious.

Looking at the young man in front of him, Bai Gui was both happy and anxious. This year's Shen is not harmful! is still a young man living in ideals and dreams, and he has not had many hardships in life. But! He has realized that the gap between real life and ideal life has become worrying and impatient.

Good! Such young people, with a little guidance, will definitely be able to contribute to the cause of mankind. Not to mention that ambitious, at least: to be able to make some contribution to the current South Korea.

"I have listened to the Lord, and the Lord has admired the white officials for a long time! He really wants Bai Guanren to go to South Korea, to seek a career with him, to build South Korea well, and to let the Korean people live a happy life. It's a pity! There is no such fate, and the white officials recognize and know each other! ”

"Thank you, Lord!" Bai Gui arched his hand in the direction of Han Du, which was regarded as a thank you.

"When the Lord heard about Bai Guanren's proposition in the Wei State back then, he was particularly appreciative! I want to try it in Korea. It's a pity! I only know the skin, but I don't know the inside. So! If you have time, you must go to the Han Palace! What Shen Buxian said was the truth, and there was no half-truth! White officials! ”

Finished! Shen Buxian looked pitiful and looked at Bai Gui, for fear that Bai Gui would not believe it.

"Thank you, Lord! Thank you, Lord! Certain! Certain! The Lord has won a prize against Baekyu! Baekyu has a false name! Bai Gui is ashamed of himself! Shame on yourself! ”
