Chapter 104: Park Yong-tae's hesitation

Li Hyun accompanied Jeju to the Qing army in Dajing, which occupied nearly half of Jeju's acres, and it was because of this that Dajing placed the county, and in the Far East, acres of land meant rice and taxes. Of course, the so-called big landlords here are just more than 10,000 acres of land, which is not the same as the big landlords on the mainland, but there are only less than 200,000 acres of land on Jeju Island, which is also a behemoth. Therefore, Dajing's Qing War was carried out at the same time as Jeju City, and finally it was the turn of Xipu and other places.

Li Xuan was full of enthusiasm to accompany the team, because it was Bai Shidi who led the team this time, so Li Xuan was even more respectful, after all, Bai Shidi was the one who interviewed him, Li Xuan was still quite grateful, and he also hoped to get closer to the past and find help in the Ming people in the future.

Bai Shidi appointed the five Ming people he brought with him as the leader of the team, divided the forty Koreans recruited by Jeju into five teams, and scattered them to check the acres of land according to the accounts of Jeju, and at the same time calculated the wasteland that could be developed in Dajing, so as to prepare for the arrival of the refugees and distribute the fields. Han Jian also sent fifteen soldiers to guard, after all, the Qing War is for some big landlords to take their money, and anything can happen, so it is better to be careful.

After all, most of the big landlords have used means to hide their acres in order to pay less taxes, and if they are cleared according to Jeju's accounts, they will lose a lot of acres. This time is different, the Ming people seized Jeju, and they were not officials of the Li Dynasty, or it was not easy to get on the line with the Ming people. However, Li Xuan, the rumor that the North Korean is more trustworthy has attracted the attention of people with a heart, so almost every day someone comes to the door in the hope of befriending Li Xuan, feasting, and even directly handing over silver bribes, although Li Xuan is only receiving silver at the moment and improving his family situation, if it is other small officials who accept the money, it is just to inform some news, Li Xuan's experience from heaven to hell makes him disdain these small money, Li Xuan is determined to restore the glory of his family name, These small profits just made him stay away and shirk everything. However, he didn't dare to make the decision for today's invitation, and came to ask Bai Shidi for advice.

Park Yongtai, the largest landlord in Dajing and the largest landlord on the island, and Lu Zhenghao, his in-law who is also a big landlord in Dajing, sent people to send famous posts to meet together. Li Xuan did not refuse at that time, but just said to Park Yongtai's housekeeper that he would consider it and reply tomorrow, Li Xuan vaguely felt that this matter had to be asked to be shown by Bai Shidi.

"Li Xuan, what you have done recently is commendable, very good," Bai Shidi learned Guo Tao's tone very well, "You have to remember that I know very well what you have done." ”

"My lord, Li Xuan is an adult, how dare he do something against the adult, Li Xuanwei is the first to look forward." Li Xuan hurriedly bowed down and showed his loyalty.

"Li Xuan, you should remember that Jeju is the Jeju of the adults at the moment, and the poor military strength of the Li Dynasty to recapture Jeju is a pipe dream. Bai Shidi replied.

"Obey, my lord, but Lord Bai's subordinates dare not forget or forget." Li Xuan's statement is obvious, I'm your person, you have to cover me.

Bai Shidi smiled, when Jeju was dominated by Koreans, Li Xuan and other Koreans who were the first to get closer were very important, Zhao Lie once said to Guo Tao and other Ming people, reuse the Koreans who came closer, strike at the hostile Koreans, and if necessary, eliminate the hostile Koreans, and divide and strike each one. Therefore, Bai Shidi still has a lot of trust in Li Xuan and others.

"Okay, Li Xuan, I value you a lot, you are not greedy for small profits, you advance and retreat to a certain extent, but you have a lot of experience in the past. In the future, there will be a future for you. Bai Shidi really valued Li Xuan, and he found that Li Xuan was different from other Koreans, with a long-term vision, quite capable, but extremely deferential.

"Thank you for the compliment." Li Xuan is overjoyed, it's not easy, Lord Bai can be regarded as accepting himself, there is someone above him, the experience of fighting in the upper echelons of North Korea has made him understand that there are people in the upper echelons who have benefited immensely, look at the power of his own family in the north when Li Shi was in power earlier, and look at the ashes of his own family after Li Shi's defeat. As the person who hates the Lee family the most on Jeju Island, Li Xuan does not have any anxiety about taking refuge in the Ming people, joking that the country has abandoned the Li Xuan family, and Li Xuan only has endless hatred for the Li Dynasty. At this time, he hoped that it would be best for the Ming people to capture the whole of Korea, and that Bai Shidi would be the best minister of one side, and that it would be best to discuss and lead the government. Only by oneself can the glory of the family name be restored.

"Li Xuan, it's okay for you to go and see, this time it's better for them to come to the door than for me to come to the door to ask for a meeting, and tell them that we have no intention of seizing their acres of land, but the hidden fields must be paid, as long as they operate with peace of mind, they can be safe and sound in Jeju, but if they collude with the Li Dynasty, under the pretext of the so-called idea of welcoming back the king, then be prepared to destroy the family and destroy the clan." Bai Shidi said coldly.

"Li Xuan obeyed." Li Xuan heard Bai Shidi's coldness, Li Xuan had seen Ming officials and scholars in the north before, and he didn't think there was any big difference with the officials in North Korea, the same pedantic, hypocrisy, the same greed for money, and ignorance of general affairs made him sneer. However, the Ming people who came into contact this time, from Ma Tao to Bai Shidi and others, were disdainful of the so-called way of poetry, and were enthusiastic and familiar with general affairs, which was not the same as the eyes of officials in the past. In short, there is no hypocrisy and procrastination of officialdom, and everything should be done quickly and satisfactorily.

Park Yongtai's residence is extremely famous in Dajing County, covering a wide area, the whole house is four into four, there is a place for slaves to live in the back, the interior decoration is luxurious, it is second to none in Jeju Island, there is a small garden built on one side of the house, after all, the family has more than 10,000 acres of fields, there are dozens of slaves in the family, and the tenants hired are more than 300 households and nearly 2,000 people, which can be said to be the largest landlord on Jeju Island.

Park Yongtai's ancestral family, the Park family, is quite powerful in Gyeonggi Province of the Li Dynasty, and has a deep collusion between the DPRK and China. After all, the payment of taxes and forced labor and the increase of factions still require the cooperation of the Park family, and since they cannot be made to submit, it is better to make good friends.

However, the Ming people attacked Jeju, and everything that Park Yongtai relied on in the past disappeared, and now, his identity as the largest landlord is extremely conspicuous, and he is also the fattest pig and sheep, and he has no idea whether the Ming people have the idea of breaking the house and making money. He also personally went to the county government to ask to see the Ming Han military general, but after eating the closed door, he found the old man in the yamen and learned that the Ming people were also military generals and were not involved in government affairs.

At the beginning of this Qing war, the Ming people were in charge, and only one Korean, Li Xuan, was quite valued by the Ming people, and many things were passed on by him, which was also inquired about with silver money.

Park Yongtai's housekeeper came to the door several times to settle with money, but he was rejected by this person, which is chilling. This time, Park Yongtai couldn't bear it anymore, and did not hesitate to break the festival, and asked the housekeeper to meet him in the name of him and his in-law Lu Zhenghao yesterday, and today, the housekeeper came back to report, and Li Xuan promised to visit in the afternoon.

So Park Yongtai brought his in-law Lu Zhenghao and waited for Li Xuan together. Of course, the waiting time is difficult. Park Yong-tae and Lu Jung-ho waited for more than an hour like ants in a hot pot.
