Chapter 282: Goryeo with chicken feathers

"I want to know, why haven't you seen the secret report from Goryeo for a while?" Lu Chengqi said lightly, revealing an unquestionable majesty in his tone. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Xu Jingchun knew that if he didn't say that he was ugly, the seemingly harmless little emperor in front of him would not let him go easily, and at the least, he would be charged with a corpse vegetarian meal.

Xu Jingchun hurriedly bowed down and said: "Your Majesty is angry, the non-ministers don't have to do things, it's just that Your Majesty once instructed the ministers that if there is no valuable information, it is not worth exchanging it with secret agents." The minister has always kept it in mind and dare not forget it. In the past month, our Supervision Department has been secretly spying in Korea and secretly stirring up the grain market in Korea. Now the surplus grain of the farmers of Goryeo has been purchased and transported back to Dashun through secret channels. Only some peasant households in Goryeo still have surplus grain in their hands, and most of the rest of the grain has been purchased by our Supervision Department at a high price. ”

Lu Chengqi doesn't have a good impression of Goryeo, and if he is not of my race, his heart will be different. Even if Goryeo is a nominal descendant of Yin Shang, it is also a matter of the Silla Kingdom, and it has nothing to do with the current Goryeo of the Wang family. Using the vicious means of economic warfare, Lu Chengqi did not feel guilty. Between countries, there is an entanglement of interests. If Goryeo and Dashun had switched positions, I'm afraid Goryeo would have annexed Dashun a long time ago. Dashun has been able to tolerate Goryeo for so long, not because the emperor of Dashun is stupid, nor is the minister stupid, but the traditional Confucian idea of "benevolence and righteousness" is at work.

But unfortunately, although Lu Chengqi understands the role of Confucianism, he is a utilitarian. All potential enemies of Dashun, under the premise of having the ability, must knock him down in advance, so as not to be stabbed in the back by these potential enemies when the time comes.

Goryeo did not notify Dashun and changed the suzerainty without authorization, which was like slapping Lu Chengqi in the face! Goryeo has always been dependent on the Central Plains powers, and only after Lu Chengqi took power did you say that the suzerainty would be changed? It's bearable, it's unbearable!

But all emperors are extremely face-saving. Such a big thing as changing the suzerainty is related to the diplomacy of the two countries, and Goryeo didn't even say hello, so he acted on his own. What's even more infuriating is that this incident happened during the critical period when Liao Guo invaded Youzhou in the south, how could Lu Chengqi not be angry!

It is really shameless for such an unkind, unrighteous and disloyal country to dare to call itself "Little China"! Lu Chengqi didn't think about it, and issued an order for economic sanctions. The first step was to completely cut off the border trade between Dashun and Goryeo, the second step was to expel the Goryeo merchants, and the third step was to send spies to secretly stir up the economy of Goryeo, and everything spent was paid by the royal estate.

At this moment, I heard Xu Jingchun say that he had already purchased all the grain in Goryeo, and the corners of Lu Chengqi's mouth showed an intriguing smile: "Very good, but why haven't I received a secret report yet?" ”

Glancing at Lu Chengqi's charming smile, Xu Jingchun's heart trembled, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Feichen doesn't have to do anything, but Goryeo Kingdom seems to know that it was my Dashun who was secretly doing something, so he sent an army to search door to door. In order to preserve their strength, the secret agents of our Supervision Division in Goryeo all lurked, stood still, and waited for the rumors to pass before looking for an opportunity to act. ”

Hearing this, Lu Chengqi also understood. Goryeo is not a vegetarian, grain is a strategic material, Goryeo's grain has always been just enough to eat, and people will starve to death in harvest years, not to mention the cold and snowy weather in recent years, and the grain production has been greatly reduced. If it weren't for Dashun to support some food, I'm afraid that the people of Goryeo would have been resentful long ago.

Now without the food support of Daeshun, the life of the king of Goryeo is not easy. In just over half a month, the Supervision Department has already purchased the last remaining grain stocks in Korea. Wang Hui, who has always been very short of food, how could he be indifferent? However, the action of the Supervision Department was too fast, and as soon as it was handled, it was immediately transported to Dashun without any delay. Even if Wang Hui reacted quickly, it was only a small reduction in losses.

In other words, in the country of Goryeo, only the peasants who farmed the land had surplus grain, and there was not much grain left in the city. There is still more than a month left before the harvest season. How to survive the past month or so has become an urgent problem to be solved in Goryeo.

Even if there is no detailed information, Lu Chengqi has already figured out the situation in Goryeo by making up for it by himself. After having the secret agents of the Supervision Department, no matter inside and outside Dashun, there are few major things that can be hidden from Lu Chengqi.

"In that case, it's time to tell me. Otherwise, Xu Qing, what are you going to do? ”

Lu Chengqi said this lightly, looked at Xu Jingchun with a slightly reproachful eye, and scared Xu Jingchun into a cold sweat, and said: "The minister thinks that Your Majesty has every opportunity, and since the spy has not reported, don't disturb Your Majesty." If you don't know about this, you should be punished with death! ”

"Xu Qing, you are from the border army. For a general, you should also understand the truth that you know yourself and your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. I have always emphasized the importance of intelligence, if the information is not accurate, I have made a decision that is contrary to the facts, can you take this responsibility? ”

Although there was no anger on Lu Chengqi's face, the anger in his tone was faint, and Xu Jingchun didn't dare to come out, and the cold sweat soaked a large part of the regular clothes.

Fortunately, Lu Chengqi's tone changed and said, "Xu Qing, you have to remember this matter." Major information at home and abroad, even if there is no wind and grass, you must report to me on time. I set up the Supervision Department not only to be an undercover agency, but also to cultivate seedlings who can analyze intelligence. The current Supervision Department has been established for nearly a year, and it is still so unsatisfactory, if there is no improvement, I have to consider whether you, the director, are competent......"

Lu Chengqi's words, hearing Xu Jingchun's ears, did not hesitate to be a thunderbolt, and hurriedly said: "The minister must improve, must improve!" ”

Xu Jingchun knew that if he retreated bravely at this moment, would it be possible for the corrupt officials who were bullied by him so badly to let him go? Even if he was reluctant, he couldn't help but be tied to Lu Chengqi's chariot. Even if he didn't know that there was a thorny road ahead or a smooth road, he had to rush forward, just because he had no way out.

Lu Chengqi said earnestly: "Xu Qing, a nation needs heroes, not only heroes in front of people, but also heroes behind the scenes. The hero behind the scenes is much more difficult than those heroes of the scenery, he may not be understood, he may be abandoned by the world. But he will keep moving forward for the obsession in his heart. I want you to remember what you were doing as a soldier. Don't forget the original intention, it is my warning to you, you are good to ...... for yourself" (to be continued.) )
