Chapter 354: Changes in North Korea

Bai Junwan, who originally went to North Korea to deal with the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, came back, but she came back with injuries, and not only was she injured, but the fleet that went to North Korea with her was also in tatters.

"What's going on?" Zhou Zhong asked with a calm face. Bai Junwan was also injured, but the injury was not serious, but there was a cut on her arm, and now she was bandaged and hung on her neck, her face was still a little pale, and she looked very weak, which made people want to hold it in her arms and comfort her when she saw it.

"Owner, there has been a big change on the Korean side, Kim Wenxian doesn't know what is crazy, when our ship just arrived at Chungcheong Port, it was attacked by the Chungcheong Chamber of Commerce, hundreds of North Korean ships surrounded us, it seems that they want to capture us alive, fortunately our merchant ships are also armed, after a hard battle, the fleet finally escaped, but one ship was too badly damaged, and I had to order to abandon the ship." Bai Junwan stood up and said with a look of shame, this time the fleet was led by her, and now that such a big thing happened, she naturally blamed herself very much.

"How dare Kim Moon-hyun attack our fleet?" Zhou Chong's face is full of incredulity, now the Chungcheong Chamber of Commerce is the agent of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce in North Korea, all the goods have to rely on the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, it can be said that Zhou Chong let him live and let him die, unless Jin Wenxian never wants to make money anymore, otherwise he has no courage to offend the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, let alone Zhou Chong's understanding of Jin Wenxian. He couldn't have done such a stupid thing.

"That's right. When you are under attack. Have you ever met Kim Moon-hyun? Zhou Zhong then asked with a serious face, he felt that there must be something wrong in it, and the biggest possibility was that there was a problem within the Chungcheong Chamber of Commerce.

"No, this time I brought people to transport goods, and secondly, to solve some problems with the Chungcheong Chamber of Commerce, so I brought all the old people who used to run the Korean trade route, and they are also very familiar with the Chungcheong Chamber of Commerce, according to what they said. Among the besieging ships of our Chungcheong Chamber of Commerce, I did not see a few big leaders of the Chungcheong Chamber of Commerce in the past, so I guess that something may have happened to the Chungcheong Chamber of Commerce! Bai Junwan also thought the same as Zhou Chong, and she experienced this incident herself, so her guess is still very credible.

Zhou Zhong nodded when he heard this, thought about it and then asked: "By the way, I rarely asked about the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce during this time, what happened to the Zhongqing Chamber of Commerce before, and you need to go there in person?" ”

Hearing Zhou Chong's question, I saw Bai Junwan's face a little solemn and said, "This matter was not a big deal before. It was nothing more than a few months ago, a fire suddenly broke out on the side of Chungcheong Port. The entire port was burned in half, even some of our goods were burned, and at the same time, a guard guarding the goods was burned to death, and it was precisely because of the dead people that I personally went to the Chungcheong Chamber of Commerce to ask them for compensation, but now it seems that this fire is too strange, and according to our people's reports, there seems to have been some kind of riot in Chungcheong Port on the day of the fire, but it quickly subsided, so I didn't care about it before, it was all my fault, if I could have been more cautious, Maybe it won't happen later. ”

Bai Junwan said that after the most embarrassing, the guilt on her face was even heavier, but Zhou Chong waved his hand and said: "Junwan, you don't have to blame yourself, this incident happened too suddenly, no one thought that such a shrewd person as Jin Wenxian would be yin, and according to what you said, the Chungcheong Chamber of Commerce changed a few months ago, but in the next few months, our Chamber of Commerce and other chambers of commerce have also been continuously transporting goods to North Korea, and there has been no change, why was your fleet attacked as soon as it arrived in North Korea?" There's definitely something we don't know about! ”

Hearing Zhou Chong's words, Bai Junwan also frowned, indeed as Zhou Chong said, if there was an accident in the Chungcheong Chamber of Commerce a few months ago, why did the Chungcheong Chamber of Commerce still trade with them according to the previous rules for several months, and even she clearly remembered that when her fleet was attacked, there were other ships of Ming merchants in the port, and they were not attacked, which seemed too strange.

Zhou Chong already understands the whole thing, and now it is impossible to know the truth of the facts by guessing by himself, plus Bai Junwan has worked very hard all the way, he was injured again, and he hasn't even eaten dinner until now, so Zhou Chong no longer discusses this issue, but asks people to prepare meals and bring them up, let Bai Junwan eat first, and then go to see Qingqing after eating, after all, their mother and daughter are separated for more than a month, and they must miss it very much.

Looking at the meals prepared by Zhou Chong in front of her, some of them are her favorite dishes, which makes Bai Junwan's heart warm, and she looks at Zhou Chong with great gratitude, in this world, in addition to Mengwan and Qingqing, I am afraid that only Zhou Chong will remember the few dishes she likes to eat, as soon as she thinks of this, Bai Junwan can't help but feel a little strange in her heart, but when she thinks of her sister Mengwan, she immediately tightens her mind, lowers her head and eats silently.

Bai Junwan's right hand was injured, so she could only use her left hand to pick up the dishes, but she dropped the dishes on the table several times, which made Bai Junwan feel very shy, after all, Zhou Zhong was sitting in front of her and looked at her with blazing eyes. However, when Zhou Zhong saw Bai Junwan's embarrassment, instead of making fun of her, she picked up chopsticks to help Bai Junwan carry the vegetables into her bowl, this somewhat intimate behavior made Bai Junwan's face hot for a while, if she had been changed before, I am afraid that she would have run away in shame, but now after the experience of the Chamber of Commerce, her whole person is more courageous, so I saw her lower her head and eat the dishes in her bowl cleanly.

Finally finished the meal, Bai Junwan immediately stood up and prepared to go to see Qingqing before resting, but Zhou Zhong smiled and said: "Qingqing slept with Mengwan today, it's already midnight, don't go back to your own yard, I asked people to prepare bath water in Mengwan's room, and you will sleep with Mengwan and them after you take a bath!" ”

"Well, the owner, you should also rest early, and tomorrow we will gather the people of the Chamber of Commerce to discuss how to deal with the affairs of North Korea!" Bai Junwan also stood up and nodded, and then didn't dare to stay with Zhou Chong, and hurriedly walked to the backyard to Mengwan to rest.

Watching Bai Junwan leave the hall as if she was running away, Zhou Zhong curled the corners of his mouth and smiled, just now he deliberately gave Bai Junwan vegetables, but he didn't expect that it felt really good to flirt with women from good families. But then he thought about North Korea, which made him frown again, according to what he knows now, it can be inferred that something must have happened to Kim Wenxian, but I don't know who has the courage to kill Jin Wenxian, after all, he is behind the king of North Korea Li Long, and he has just made such a big contribution, now that Jin Wenxian has an accident, Li Long will definitely pursue it!

Zhou Zhong sat in the hall and thought about it for a while, but he still didn't have any clue, and then he simply shook his head, not thinking about how this happened for the time being, but began to think about what changes the changes in the Chungcheong Chamber of Commerce would bring to the Chamber of Commerce and the Governor's Mansion of the Four Seas? After all, North Korea is not only an important trading partner of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, but also has a great relationship with the Sihai Governor's Office, and he still occupies part of the land of Jeju Province in North Korea, so he inevitably deals with North Koreans in normal times.

Zhou Zhong hypothesized several possible changes in the Chungcheong Chamber of Commerce, first of all, Kim Wenxian may have offended the Korean king Li Long, although he had made great contributions to quelling the Korean coup d'Γ©tat, but Li Long was originally a violent madman, and God knows what he would kill because of Lu, so it is not surprising that Jin Wenxian was killed by Li Long.

If it was really Li Long who sent someone to kill Kim Wenxian, then this matter would be a little troublesome, after all, Li Long was a madman, and Zhou Chong had forcibly occupied Seongsanpo on Jeju Island before, which had already caused dissatisfaction among the Koreans, and if the attack on the fleet was instigated by Li Long, then Zhou Chong should be cautious and even prepare for war.

As for whether Li Long has the courage to tear his face directly with him, this Zhou Zhong is not sure, after all, Li Long is a crazy person, and the thoughts in his head are not at all something that ordinary people can guess.

There is another possibility, that is, Jin Wenxian was killed by people who were dissatisfied with him, and Li Long didn't know about it, if this is the case, then the matter will be simple, and then he only needs to ask Li Long for compensation, as for the Chungcheong Chamber of Commerce, Li Long's people will naturally deal with it, and there is no need to worry about it at all.

However, for the second possibility, Zhou Zhong felt that it was not very reliable, because according to his and Bai Junwan's previous speculation, Jin Wenxian was likely to be killed a few months ago, so how could Li Long not be aware of it at all, so that several months had passed, how could Li Long not be aware at all? This is obviously not a common sense, so it now seems that the first hypothesis is very likely.

Thinking that Li Long, a madman, is likely to use the Chungcheong Chamber of Commerce to retaliate for his invasion of Jeju Island, Zhou Chong couldn't help but feel a little headache, without the agent of the Chungcheong Chamber of Commerce, it would be a little difficult for him to trade with North Korea in the future, and even the trade routes to North Korea would be completely cut off, so that the Chamber of Commerce would lose a considerable part of its income, which was really a very unbearable thing for Zhou Chong.

After Zhou Zhong learned the news that there was a change in North Korea, he had been guessing about the various changes in North Korea in the second half of the night and the response he could make, but as the so-called world is unpredictable, Zhou Zhong may not have imagined that what happened in North Korea has far exceeded his imagination.
