As soon as the cannon sounded, there were 10,000 taels of gold, which was indeed a good statement.

The last time they seized Jeju Island, Li Qing said that he was surprised by Zhou Quan, because after deducting various expenses, the value of the property they obtained was more than 200,000 yuan. For the Donghai Chamber of Commerce, having such a high income in the first action can be regarded as a good start.

But last time, it was only against the poor natives, but this time it was against the Goryeo officers and soldiers.

Goryeo brought 70,000 or 80,000 people to Jeju Island, not counting the grain that Zhou Quan had already rejoiced, and the cloth, gold, silver, and copper coins that had been prepared for reward, the number had already made more than a dozen of the tent houses in charge of the calculation happy.

Dong Changqing pulled Bai Xianfeng to come here, watching these teenagers settle the accounts, the abacus crackled in their hands, and couldn't help whispering: "Ming Gong's ambition is not small, these teenagers, all of them are talents!" ”

"I don't read the books of sages, I don't study the scriptures, and in the eyes of the princes in the court, I'm just a talent in the bookkeeper." Bai Xianfeng said with a slight sneer: "But when I got to Ming Gong, I realized that only these skills can really be used, and you and I are really redundant." ”

They originally thought that under the curtain of Zhou Quan, they would definitely be able to show their skills and make extraordinary achievements. But now that they have been following Zhou Quan for several months, they realized that although they boast of being proficient in poetry and books, they may not be as good as the array of young men around Zhou Quan when they do practical things.

Their only strength, I'm afraid, is writing articles. However, these two people are open-minded, and they don't feel that they are useless heroes, but they feel that their eyes are bright, and they may have found a new direction of learning.

Even more so after seeing the power of artillery.

"It's calculated, based on the price of the Beijing division two months ago, the gold, silver, and silk silk obtained can be converted into 150,000 yuan! There is also a copper coin, which is a small Goryeo coin, which is 1,300 catties when converted into copper, and can cast two cannons! ”

The copper coins minted by Goryeo themselves are of inferior quality and can only be used as raw materials for refurnace casting, but the gold, silver and silk silk can be worth more than 150,000 yuan, which is also a large expense.

"There are also armor weapons, these are big heads, if those armor can be shot, it can be exchanged for hundreds of thousands of yuan, millions of yuan is also possible, weapons are slightly cheaper, but they can also be folded into more than 100,000 yuan, in addition, the captured Goryeo horses, livestock, hundreds of thousands of guan are counted as less." Bai Xianfeng whispered to Dong Changqing.

Dong Changqing's eyes suddenly widened, doesn't this mean that in this battle, the value of the seized things may exceed two million?

"Two million?" He couldn't help but ask, inhaling cold air.

"You don't count the food, there are ships, in addition, there are more important people, these people, it is estimated that they can be sold for a good price!"

"Selling?" Dong Changqing swallowed his saliva, as a Confucian disciple, he still felt a little inappropriate about human trafficking.

Bai Xianfeng said solemnly: "Where do you want to go, is our Ming Gong the kind of person who traffics in human beings?" Ming Gong was merciful and felt that it was really undesirable to let these Goryeo people be separated from their families, so he asked me, and I suggested to him that Goryeo should pay for redemption, an ordinary soldier only needs ten guan, a low-level officer, it takes thirty guan, and so on, I calculated that the total number of captured Koreans is more than 34,000, which can be exchanged for a ransom of 60 to 700,000 guan! ”

"Also...... Still with this? Dong Changqing didn't know when Bai Xianfeng had made such a suggestion.

"That's nature, this is Ming Gong's benevolence, otherwise it's not impossible to cut off the heads of these Goryeo people to build a Jingguan!"

"Will the Goryeo court agree?"

"It's their business to disagree, if they don't agree, the one who does the unkind thing is the Goryeo court, and it has nothing to do with us, Ming Justice needs a group of people to serve as coolies, build roads and build ports, this kind of labor that can be used to death as long as you give a bowl of rice to eat, the more the merrier!"

Bai Xianxian's cheekiness made Dong Changqing look at his friend with admiration, and he could only pick up his thumb to express his contempt for Bai Xianxian.

Kaegyong, also known as Kaesong, where the Goryeo court was located, was also known as Songdu because of the abundance of pine trees. In the south of Songaksan Mountain is the Goryeo Royal Palace.

Nowadays, the king of Goryeo, Wang Mata, is only a man of Chinese nationality and loves polo, so he often watches ball games in the court between the Seungpyeongmun Gate and the Shenbongmun Gate in the royal palace. It's just that with the spread of football, what he is watching now is not polo, but football.

He was accompanied by the envoys of the Liao State.

If Zhou Quan was present, he would also know this Liao envoy, who was the Yelu sorcerer with whom he had a verbal dispute.

Originally, the Jelu sorcerer was also involved in the Yelu Zhangnu Rebellion, but he got away with it and came to Goryeo as an envoy. This is the Liao State that has tasted the sweetness of Rongcheng, and intends to build a Rongcheng with Goryeo, and it is best to resell the products of the Song State like the Xia, so as to make a profit from it.

At the same time, there is also an idea, which is to fight with the Jurchens who are becoming more and more powerful in Goryeo.

The deputy envoy behind the Yelu sorcerer is also Zhou Quan's acquaintance, Yelu Dashi.

"The two envoys of the country, do you think that there is still something to be seen in my country's football?" Facing the Yelu sorcerer and Yelu Dashi, Wang Yu didn't dare to slack off, and asked with a smile.

"It's okay...... "The Yelu Sorcerer didn't like football very much, because this thing was brought to Daliao by Zhou Quan, and when he thought of the young envoy of the Song Kingdom, he felt humiliated.

"I wonder if these golfers, if they are against your country, how can they win or lose?" Wang asked again.

Wang's Goryeo has always been dissatisfied with the submission of the Liao State, and they yearn for the Song more than the Liao.

However, the military might of the Liao State was much more powerful than the benevolence and righteousness of the Song State, so even if they were envoys to the Song Dynasty, they only dared to call themselves the subject countries of the Great Liao.

It's just that secretly, there are always some comparisons.

"It's too far off." Before the Jelu sorcerer could respond, the Jelu Dashi next to him had already spoken first.

"Oh, I don't know which of your country and the team of the Great Song Dynasty is stronger or weaker?"

"This football drama was originally created by the naughty boy of the Song Kingdom, but it is a little trick! If it is hidden in it, it will be a plaything and lose its mind, and it will not be the advocate of a great power! I Liaoguo introduced football drama and talked about entertainment, just like a kabuki, why bother to compete with the Song people for this strength and weakness? Which is stronger and which is weak, the origin is only to look at the soldiers, how can you watch the football play! ”

Yelu Dashi also looked at Zhou Quan unpleasantly, even if Zhou Quan's proposal of the Rongcheng Covenant did bring real benefits to the Liao State, but in his mind, Zhou Quan would still be the most dangerous enemy of the Great Liao.

It is even more dangerous than those so-called famous generals in the Song Kingdom!

He has always been a gentleman, but when he saw that even those who were as remote as Goryeo were also popular in the football games created by Zhou Quan, he was angry and couldn't help but criticize a few words.

Wang Yu was stunned when he heard it, although he was a Chinese man, he was not a fool, and the saying of "Song Country Naughty Boy" reminded him of the fact that the envoy he sent had returned.

"I don't know who the deputy envoy is talking about as a naughty boy of the Song Kingdom?" Wang asked deliberately.

Then he saw that these two high-ranking envoys of the Liao State both showed expressions as if they had eaten flies.

"Deputy?" Wang Yu said again.

"I heard that something happened to your country in Tanluo, and now that the army is on an expedition, your king is still thinking about football?" The Jeredian was a good man of argument after all, and spoke.

Wang Yu was about to answer, when suddenly he heard a mess outside, and then there was a cry coming in, and he frowned: "What's the noise?" ”

"It's Uncle Guo's return...... Uncle Guo is back! A guard looked outside, and then said in a trembling voice.

Wang Yu's heart jumped suddenly, if it was good news, how could there be crying?

He forced himself to calm down, and said to the two Liao envoys with a smile: "There are some trivial matters in the country, please don't sit in company." ”

"I wonder if I can sit in on it?" The corners of Yelu's mouth turned upward.

"I despise the country's trivial matters, and I don't dare to defile the envoy's ears." Without waiting for Wang Yu to speak, there was an accompanying minister who said solemnly.

The Yelu sorcerers were not in the mood to say anything, they were here to talk about the city, but Goryeo relied on the constant flow of merchant ships from the Song State, and they were just perfunctory, and they did not take the requirements of the Liao State seriously at all. He also thought about discussing with Yelu Dashi Haosheng, and it was best to find a solution so that this mission would not return in vain.

But they had just left the palace of Goryeo, and had not yet returned to the envoy's pavilion, when suddenly someone behind them caught up with them out of breath: "My king has summoned two messengers!" ”

The sorcerer raised his eyebrows, and suddenly felt that something was wrong in his heart.

The two of them returned to the palace, this time not in the ball court, but in the main hall to the west of the full moon platform.

When they entered the main hall, they saw a man kneeling on the ground, and the Yalu sorcerer had come to Goryeo as an envoy before, so they recognized the person who was kneeling was none other than the uncle of the country, Li Ziqian.

It is said that this person relied on the identity of the uncle of the country and ruled over Goryeo, but at this time he looked embarrassed, smoky and burning, kneeling on the ground and crying silently.

"Two messengers, there is something that the king does not know, and I want to ask you for advice." Before the two of them could see the situation in the hall clearly, Wang Yu, who was sitting on top of it, had already spoken.

It's just that the voice in the words is calm, and no matter how you listen to it, it makes people feel ill-intentioned.

"I wonder what the king has to inquire about?" The Jerudian asked.

"I, Goryeo, serve the kingdom of God, have always been submissive, pay tribute every year, pay money every year, I don't know why I have caused the kingdom to be angry, send troops to levy, and go to war without declaring it!"

When the words "war without declaration" came out, Wang Yu's voice suddenly turned violent, almost breaking through the hall!

The sorcerer's face changed drastically, and he asked in surprise, "Why did the king say this?" ”

"Your country's leather room army, in alliance with the Song people, seized my Tamluo Island, and damaged my troops, causing my army of 80,000, and only 11 returned...... At this time, do you still have to pretend? ”

The hatred in Wang Yu's heart is simply difficult to express in words, if these two people are not behind the Liao State, and the Liao State is not far stronger than Goryeo, he will not hesitate to cut these two people!

"How could there be such a thing, I really don't know, when we came here, the imperial court repeatedly explained that we wanted to form a good alliance with Goryeo and strive to achieve the covenant of Yongcheng as soon as possible...... There must be a misunderstanding in this! The Jerudian exclaimed.

If you don't explain, your head is gone!

"Misunderstanding, what misunderstanding, I saw the banner of the Leather Room Army with my own eyes...... I saw you Khitans kill my subordinates, because they are soldiers of the kingdom, I am afraid that it will hurt the friendship between the two countries, and I have retreated, but you still do not forgive, you Liao people, clearly colluded with the Song people, and colluded with Zhou Quan! Li Ziqian, who was kneeling on the ground, shouted.

"Zhou Quan!" (To be continued.) )
