241, congratulations to Ming Gong, congratulations to Ming Gong
After playing, Zhou Quan and Wang Yu returned to the main hall, and at this time the two sides had reached an agreement, and the agreement was also stamped with the seal of the Goryeo State and the seal of the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce and the coastal system of Haizhou in the Great Song Dynasty.
In this way, the peace agreement is completed, and the Koreans can breathe a sigh of relief.
According to the agreement, the two sides will begin the handover of money, grain and prisoners, and the address of the handover will be set at Mokpo. This place is very close to Jeju, and if the wind and water are smooth, it will not even take a day to reach the Blue Bird. Even those slow ships with a large capacity of people, about two days, are enough to dock.
All the nearly 40,000 captives were exchanged for a ransom of 600,000 guan, plus their armor and warships worth 400,000 guan, so after this peace treaty was reached, the Koreans had to pay 1 million guan.
However, considering that Goryeo's rule was somewhat unstable, the Donghae Chamber of Commerce agreed to send 3,000 captives directly to Ganghwa Island to protect the palace on Ganghwa Island.
As soon as this agreement was reached, the envoys of the king rushed to Kaesong and almost emptied the Goryeo treasury. It's just that the Donghai Chamber of Commerce doesn't want silk and the like, and Goryeo really can't get enough Song copper coins, so they replace them with copper, silver, and gold, and if they are insufficient, they use Korean ginseng, leather goods, wood, ramie, etc.
Mo said that Goryeo is a small country, because it has been peaceful for a long time, and there has been no major chaos, so its treasury is still full, Zhou Quan waited in Jianghua for five days, and then saw a shipload of things brought from his treasury being transported, and then transported on ships such as the Blue Bird and the Xuanniao.
After this incident, Zhou Quan learned that there were a lot of silver mines in Goryeo, although they were not as good as Japan, but they were also a good object for trade.
After more than ten accounting calculations, the value of these precious metals is about 300,000 guan, and Zhou Quan does not want jade and the like, but he welcomes leather goods and ginseng, and when pricing these goods, the market standard used is not the standard of Bianjing of the Great Song Dynasty, but the standard of Goryeo Kaijing - close to the place of origin, its price will always be cheap.
If it is shipped back to Bianjing for sale, the price will be at least doubled, and if it is shipped to Japan for sale, the price of some goods will even triple, these are not things that Zhou Quan is worried about, and now there are more than 20 maritime merchants under the name of the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce, and they will naturally deal with it.
In this way, plus the indemnity mentioned by Jin Fuzhe before, in fact, the value of the goods obtained from the Koreans should be about 2 million yuan. This does not include the 1.5 million stone grain promised by the Goryeo people, in view of the fact that Goryeo is facing war, the grain Zhou Zhou Quan did not press too urgently, only 500,000 stone this year, and another 1 million stone, which can be postponed until next year.
Seeing that the Koreans handed over their belongings and handed over their belongings, Zhou Quan couldn't help but feel a little regretful in his heart, maybe he should open a bigger mouth.
He didn't know that the Goryeo royal family believed in Buddhism, had been peaceful for a long time, and there were no major disasters, except for building Buddhist temples, there was almost no use, so the treasury was full and could come up with this sum in a short time. But if he really opened his mouth, it would not be easy for the Goryeo royal family to raise it.
was thinking about this, but he heard Ye Chu outside: "Dalang, the Goryeo envoy Jin Fuzhen is visiting!" ”
Jin Fuzhe has been running to Zhou Quan a lot during this time, so Zhou Quan was not surprised by his arrival, and after welcoming the invitation into the account, Jin Fuzhen said that he wanted to have a meeting with Dong Changqing.
They are all scholars, and they want to have some common language, but Zhou Quan didn't think about it, so he invited Dong Changqing to come and entertain them.
Dong Changqing led Jin Fuzhen to walk a few steps on the beach, and Jin Fuzhen suddenly said: "Brother Rubai, there is something to ask Brother Tai for advice." ”
"Jin Langzhong, please speak."
"I don't know if Zhou Zhizhi has ever been married now?"
When Dong Changqing heard this question, he was stunned for a moment, his mind was racing, and he said: "This year is only nineteen, and I haven't married yet." ”
"Nineteen, that's just right!" Jin Fu Zhe Road.
Dong Changqing smiled: "Could it be that Jin Langzhong has a daughter in the family and wants to marry?" ”
"Exactly!"
Jin Fuzhe replied so happily that Dong Changqing was taken aback, and couldn't help but stop: "Jin Langzhong, aren't you joking?" ”
"This kind of thing, how dare I laugh, the daughter I am talking about is actually not my family, but the young sister of the current king, the young daughter of the first king, eighteen years old, dignified and gentle, with a dignified and graceful temperament, and a beautiful and fragrant appearance, which is a good match for the Zhou system!"
When Dong Changqing heard that the marriage partner turned out to be the royal sister of Goryeo, there was a buzzing sound in his head, and thousands of thoughts surfaced almost at the same time.
Although eighteen years old is a little older, it is not too big, and if he has a good temperament and posture, he is worthy of his own father-in-law as the royal sister of Goryeo.
It's just that as Zhou Quan, is it appropriate or not to marry a princess from another country?
And Dong Changqing knows very well that although Zhou Quan accepted them as guest staff, if you talk about trust, he and Bai Xianfeng are not as good as Ye Chu, Li Bao, Wang Qinian and other array teenagers in Zhou Quan's mind. Like marriage, it is extremely important, and it is definitely not up to him, a guest staff, to make the decision.
However, if he can marry the princess of Goryeo, Zhou Quan's Donghai Chamber of Commerce's foreign expansion process will be greatly accelerated, with the support of Goryeo......
"This matter is important, I can't decide, but I will try my best to persuade and strive for Yucheng to do this!" Dong Changqing said categorically.
"In that case, I'm waiting for good news!" Jin Fuzhe breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, he was a literati and did not figure out the composition of Zhou Quan's subordinates. In his opinion, Dong Changqing and Bai Xianxian, who were close to Zhou Quan's staff, were considered Zhou Quan's right-hand men because they were students of the Great Song Dynasty, and their influence on Zhou Quan was definitely greater than that of those entourage boys.
But he didn't know that Dong Changqing was not completely sure, so after thinking about it, he asked Jin Fuzhen to rest for a while, and then he came to find Bai Xianxian.
This credit obviously cannot be swallowed alone, and it must be achieved by finding a white pioneer.
Bai Xianfeng heard Jin Fuzhe's intention, was stunned for a moment, and then said: "There is something wrong with this matter, the matter between the Duke of Ming and the princess of the Great Liao Shu Kingdom is known to the whole world, if you marry the sister of the prince of Goryeo, how can the Duke of Ming agree?" ”
"That's why I'm looking for you, my persuasion alone may not be useful, Ruizhi will definitely be useful if he goes with me. Although the princess of the Great Liao Shu Kingdom has affection for the Ming Duke, with the respect of the Son of Heaven of the Great Liao, how can she marry her beloved daughter to the Ming Duke! is he willing to marry, how can our Great Song Dynasty want Ming Gong to marry the princess of the enemy country? Goryeo has always been a great minister, if the Ming Duke marries the sister of the king of Goryeo, he can cut off the arm of the Liao State and get a boost for my Great Song Dynasty, inside and outside the court, he will definitely be optimistic! ”
Dong Changqing said that Bai Xianfeng nodded again and again, indeed, the difficulty of marrying the princess of Goryeo is much lower than the difficulty of marrying the princess of Da Liao.
"But the princess of Shu has allocated a thousand elite ...... to the Duke of Ming."
"If you can marry the royal sister of Goryeo, why don't you worry about thousands of elites? Don't forget, the support that the princess of Shu can give is limited after all, and on the side of Goryeo, as long as they guard against the Jurchens, don't say a thousand elites, five thousand and ten thousand, what's the difficulty? ”
Bai Xianfeng was a little unimpressed by this, the leather cavalry of the Liao State still had combat power, and the combat power of the Koreans was really not flattering.
"You can't trust the elite combat power of Goryeo, but you should also trust Ming Gong's ability to train soldiers!" Dong Changqing lowered his voice slightly: "Those cowardly Koreans can become elite soldiers and strong generals in the second half of the Ming Dynasty!" ”
Bai Xianxian's last doubt was gone, but after a little hesitation, he said again: "This matter only depends on you and me to persuade, and it is still a little thin, I have a plan, I can ask Wu Yang to come forward to help, if you get his words, you will get twice the result with half the effort!" ”
Dong Changqing Huo Ran was shocked to realize that he had forgotten about this person.
Wuyang has stood up after the old age, Zhou Quan has always regarded him as an uncle, and he has been trusted and trusted by his confidants, if he can get his support, it can indeed increase the possibility of convincing Zhou Quan.
The two immediately came to look for Wuyang together, but Wuyang had always been around Zhou Quan, so they asked Ye Chu to call first, and after a while, Wuyang appeared in front of them.
Hearing what the two of them meant, Wu Yang scratched his head: "It's not proper, I don't think Dalang is the kind of person who will be swayed by others in this matter." ”
persuaded Wu Yang, Bai Xianfeng naturally had a rhetoric: "Brother Wu, you are the uncle of Ming Gong and an elder, do you think it is appropriate for Ming Gong to have a foundation now, but he has no heirs?" ”
Wu Yang's expression froze, and he was a little gloomy.
At the beginning, Zhou Dong's son died because he did not leave an heir, which made Wuyang feel sorry for Zhou Dong and was depressed for a long time.
"Ming Gong sometimes takes risks lightly, such as this trip to Goryeo, it is not necessary, but he still came, if there is an heir at home, he will be at ease, and there will be nothing to do inside and outside. The matter between Ming Gong and Princess Da Liao, in the past three years and five years, I am afraid that I will not see the result, Brother Wu, as an uncle, how can you not ask? This is not for selfishness, but also for the public! ”
Wu Yang scratched his head, he has always been silent, and when it comes to the talent of tongue debate, he must not be as good as Bai and Dong, so he has been persuaded by the two.
"What do you want me to say?" He asked.
"There is no need to say anything, let's say it later, Ming Gong has always been willing to listen to everyone's opinions, and you can help beat the side drum when the time comes!" The spirit of the white pioneer was lifted.
Zhou Quan was checking the account books at this time, and when he heard Dong Changqing say that there was something serious, he put the account book aside, and asked with a smile: "Fang Cai Jin Fuzhen came, and then Mr. Dong said that there was something to do with Gaoli?" ”
"There is some relationship, Ming Gong, I have a difficult matter to decide, and I want to ask Ming Gong for advice." Dong Changqing said.
"Oh?"
"What is the greatest thing, private feelings or state affairs?" Dong Changqing said.
Zhou Quan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, he didn't think it had anything to do with him at all, he just wondered, Dong Changqing and Jin Fuzhen have been dating for a long time, could it be that they have a personal friendship?
Therefore, he said: "The state affairs are important, why should Mr. Dong ask me? ”
"In the past, Huo Qu's illness was not destroyed by the Huns and he did not marry, if it was the Han army at that time, everything was like this, did Lang Jun think it was appropriate?"
"The Huns have not been destroyed, why should the family be, although it is heroic, but if everyone is like this, the Huns will breed evil, and the Han people will be wiped out! This matter is an inspirational aphorism, but it can't force everyone to act, and it is limited to the heirs of China and the seeds of Hulu, how can it be for a long time! Zhou Quan's heart moved, could it be that Dong Changqing was going to get married?
"Great goodness. Since Ming Gong said so, then congratulations to Ming Gong, congratulations to Ming Gong, the king of Goryeo wants to marry Wang Mei and Ming Gong! Dong Changqing said with a smile.
Zhou Quan was stunned. (To be continued.) )
