"Okay, a word is a certainty, everyone will not interfere with the river water in the future!" Qi Yanming is also a decisive person, although he really wants to kill Zhang Rui, but there are so many people on the ship, and the space is not large, if he is a killer, it is difficult to ensure that he will not be discovered by others, so he does not dare to take this risk, so he can only agree to Zhang Rui's suggestion.

In the following period of time, Zhang Rui and Qi Yanming really kept the agreement, and nothing happened to each other, and the fleet soon reached the port of Weihaiwei on the Shandong Peninsula after this period of sailing, and then after being replenished here, it immediately crossed the Yellow Sea all the way to the east, and finally reached the imperial court after two days of sailing.

The owner of the ship, Lu Qiao, took the guys on the boat to look at the land that was getting closer and closer, and his face also showed excitement, it was not easy to run a boat at sea in the spring, and even the ship may be destroyed and killed when encountering a strong wind, but their luck this time was really good, they only encountered a strong wind on the road, and it did not bring too much loss to the fleet, and now they finally arrived in North Korea safely.

The port they arrived at belongs to Taean-gun, Chungcheongnam-do, North Korea, Taean-gun is on a triangular peninsula on the westernmost side of Chungcheongnam-do, and the port in front of them is just on the most prominent corner, originally it was a barren small fishing village, but since Kim Mun-hyun of the Chungcheong Chamber of Commerce returned from Shuangyu Port last year, he built a port on the basis of this small fishing village and named Chungcheong Port.

As the fleet approached at Luqiao, there was also jubilation at Chungcheong Port, and soon many small boats surrounded them, which were loaded with salted fish, eggs and other ingredients. In addition, there are local Korean specialties such as ginseng and paper. One by one, the vendors threw their heads up and peddled to the boats. After all, they all knew that this was a ship from Daming, and the people on the boat were generous, and the things in their hands could be sold at a good price.

For these vendors who came up, Lu Qiao did not let people drive away, but looked down with interest, if he saw the goods he liked, he would also put down the rope and pull the owner up to negotiate the price, and he would pay to buy it after the negotiation was completed. After all, after selling the goods on their ship, they also have to buy another batch of North Korean goods to bring back.

Surrounded by many ships, Luqiao's fleet slowly approached Chungcheong Port, and at this time, ships were also sent from the port to guide them into the berth. If it is placed in Shuangyu Port, a ship full of goods like Luqiao will not be docked, I am afraid that as soon as it enters the port, there will be merchants who will take a boat to the ship to negotiate the price of the goods with Luqiao, but no businessman dares to get on the ship here in Chungcheong Port, because this is the territory of the Chungcheong Chamber of Commerce, and all goods must be traded with the Chungcheong Chamber of Commerce.

Speaking of which, the Chungcheong Chamber of Commerce withdrew from Shuangyu Port in the first place. The main thing is that Zhou Zhong promised Kim Wenxian to be the agent of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce in North Korea. As long as it is the goods of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, they will all be handed over to him for sale. However, Kim was also shrewd, and he opened a port of his own, so that not only the ships of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce would be willing to trade, but some other chambers of commerce would also be willing to ship goods here and sell them to the chamber of commerce.

Although it seems that Jin Wenxian seems to have monopolized the smuggling transactions of the Ming Dynasty to North Korea, it is easy for him to lower the price to buy the goods of the Ming merchants, but in fact, this problem does not exist at all, this is mainly because the current maritime trade is very underdeveloped, and the goods of the Ming Dynasty are in short supply at all, so no matter where you go, it is a seller's market, if you don't give the Ming merchants a satisfactory price, then I will not sell to you, anyway, there is more than one person who is willing to buy goods, unless the other party can always monopolize the trade of a landlord, However, if this is the case, I am afraid that there will be no Ming merchants willing to ship goods to sell in the future.

After Luqiao's ship docked, soon there were people from the Chungcheong Chamber of Commerce who came to count the goods, and Luqiao was transporting silk and cotton cloth this time, which were very urgently needed goods in North Korea, so the people of the Chungcheong Chamber of Commerce quickly quoted a price after the counting, which was higher than the usual price of silk and cotton, after all, it was spring, and the prices of the goods were high.

However, in line with the principle that it is a little more to make a little more, Lu Qiao bargained with the other party for a long time, and finally let the other party rise by one percent, and then paid the money with one hand and got the receipt with the other. There is no need to trade in cash, mainly because Luqiao and they still have to purchase local goods in North Korea, and after they have finished purchasing, they will use the silver on the receipt to subtract the cost, and the rest of the Chungcheong Chamber of Commerce will pay cash.

After the transaction, Lu Qiao was also very happy, according to the previous rules, he divided the people in the fleet into two groups, and took turns to give them a holiday to go out, after all, although Chungcheong Port was built for a short time, but the port is also full of brothels and wine shops, and the people in the fleet have been at sea for so long, and now it is time to relax. However, what everyone didn't expect was that when one of them went out to relax, two people disappeared together, and these two people were Qi Yanming and Zhang Rui under the pseudonym Wen Wu.

There were two people missing in the fleet, Lu Qiao was naturally very anxious, he immediately asked the Chungcheong Chamber of Commerce to help find it, but unfortunately even if they searched the entire Chungcheong Port, they did not find half a figure, and the time for Lu Qiao to look at it was not short, so he could only give up the search and return to Daming with a full load of goods.

At the same time as Luqiao left, another batch of Daming merchant ships just arrived at Chungcheong Port, but this batch of merchant ships is different from Luqiao's small smugglers, this fleet belongs to the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, and the scale is also very large, there are nearly 20 large ships, it is estimated that this time the goods are enough for the Chungcheong Chamber of Commerce to digest for a few months.

However, for Kim Wenxian, the president of the Chungcheong Chamber of Commerce, the goods sent by this fleet are secondary, and the key is that there is another person who came with the fleet this time, this person is Zhou Chong's confidant Liu Tao, this person is an experienced captain, and he led the team last time he went to Nanyang to pick up these European craftsmen such as Chilava.

"Brother Liu, I didn't expect you to personally lead the team this time, which really made Jin feel brilliant!" In the living room of the Chungcheong Chamber of Commerce, Jin Wenxian said to Liu Tao, who was sitting in front of him, with a warm face. When he was in Shuangyu Port before, he had met Liu Tao, and he knew that the other party was Zhou Chong's most trusted captain, so he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.

Liu Tao also smiled at this time and said: "President Jin is really too polite, Liu Mou actually came to run errands for our host this time, originally the owner wanted to come in person, but you must have heard that now the owner is appreciated by our majesty and has become the admiral of our Ming Dynasty, so now he is busy with official business, and he can't get out of it at all, so he can only let me come!" ”

Liu Tao's words are not lying, Zhou Chong really wanted to come to North Korea in person, not for anything else, because there will be a palace coup in North Korea this year, in this coup, the famous tyrant in North Korean history Yan Shanjun will be ousted from power, and the Jincheng Maharaja who once supported the Jeolla Chamber of Commerce to abduct and sell the Ming population will ascend to the throne, which Zhou Chong does not want to see anyway, so he wants to point out the political situation in North Korea through Kim Wenxian, so that the brutal Yan Shanjun will continue to sit on his throne, It's a pity that he is now an official of the Ming Dynasty, and he really can't get out, so he can only let Liu Tao come on his behalf.

"It's a pity that Lord Zhou can't come, but I don't know what news Lord Zhou asked Brother Liu to bring?" Jin Wenxian asked impatiently.

Jin Wenxian has been waiting for Zhou Chong since last year, because when he left, Zhou Chong said that he had a message from Jinyiwei, that is, someone in North Korea was preparing to launch a coup d'état, and Zhou Chong also knew the main figures who launched the coup d'état, but no matter how Jin Wenxian pleaded, Zhou Chong just didn't say it, and even took this as one of the conditions for them to leave Shuangyu Port.

Seeing Jin Wenxian's impatient appearance, Liu Tao smiled slightly, only to see him reach out and take out a sealed box from his arms, the box mouth was also sealed with fire paint, and printed with a heavy private seal, now the private seal is intact, it should not have been opened.

"President Jin, please see, this is before I came, our owner personally handed it to me, and told me to keep it personally, I don't dare to have the slightest negligence along the way, and now it is finally delivered safely, now please take a look at the fire paint seal, if there is no problem, then Liu will complete the owner's entrustment!" Liu Tao put the small box in his hand in front of Jin Wenxian and said.

Jin Wenxian looked at the box that Liu Tao took out, and his eyes also showed a fiery look, if he could know in advance about the ministers who were preparing to launch a coup d'état, and then tell His Royal Highness the King about it, then he would have made a great achievement, and the glory and wealth in the future would be as easy as a snap.

Thinking of this, Jin Wenxian couldn't wait to open the box immediately, but thinking that Liu Tao was still here, and people came all the way to send him things, he had to set up a banquet to entertain the other party no matter what. Therefore, Jin Wenxian had to resist the urge to open the box, swallowed his saliva and put the box close to his body, and then immediately ordered someone to prepare a banquet. Liu Tao was not polite to this, after all, in order to keep this box, he was also restless on the way, and now he can finally let go of this burden.

Finally waited until the banquet was over, Jin Wenxian personally sent Liu Tao back to his residence to rest, he quickly returned to his residence, and then opened the box impatiently under the lamp, only to find that there was a white silk stacked in the box, when he opened the white silk, he finally saw what was written on it, and when Jin Wenxian read the whole content, his face immediately showed ecstasy, because what was written on the white silk was the date of the coup and the list of the main ministers who launched the coup.
