Chapter 62 - Contract Written in Korean

Hongyi and his party, accompanied by the horse dealer and his owner, came to a restaurant near Luoma City. Ma Youde, a horse dealer, found a clean private room, and respectfully invited the group to sit down. Mara and Liang Gong were separated from Hongyi, Ji Kaisheng sat at the bottom, Ma Youde was in the center, and the mysterious "master" sat opposite Hongyi. and Zhang Suihan, who also shouted that he couldn't lose his business for nothing, and he had to "follow", so Ji Kaisheng "reluctantly" agreed to him, but just said: "Naturally, whoever has the highest price will sell it to whom!" As for Yang Yongjian and Min Xu, they could only find a seat downstairs and think they were the answer.

"Master Ji, this is my master, King Li Xian, and we are also old men who traffick horses outside the Guanwai. It's a pleasure to get to know all of you, and it's a pleasure to meet you! Ma Youde, a horse dealer, looked like an old man and began to report his home.

"In the next season, I brought a few horses with my young master from outside the customs and prepared to come to the capital to sell. I wonder how many good horses Brother Li wants? Ji Kaisheng gave himself a new name, which made Hongyi very interested. Praise in praise, praise China, haha, Master Ji, you are so talented!

As soon as Ma Youde was about to speak, his master, King Li Xian, raised his hand to stop him.

"In fact, he is a Korean businessman who has served the Korean lord for many years. Therefore, Mr. Ji, as long as there are good horses, my country can buy them all, and the more the merrier! ”

Hongyi was overjoyed in his heart, because this King Li Xian spoke Korean! You've found the right person!

Hongyi didn't leak his face, just curiously playing with the cups and chopsticks on the table, behaving like an ignorant child!

Ji Kaisheng didn't understand Korean, but he had heard Korean. According to the agreement, he nodded slightly, did not miss a word, just lowered his head to Hongyi, and said in a low voice: "Young master, look ......"

"Selling to the 'Koreans' is the same as selling to the Manchurians! I'm willing to sell them 'all', don't forget that my little lady is still their 'North Korean'! Hongyi dangled the lid of a teacup with chopsticks and replied in Chinese.

"Yes, young master!" Ji Kaisheng understood the meaning of the Korean translated by Hongyi just now, one is to sell "all" to him, and the other is to highlight the "North Koreans"!

"Since Mr. Li is interested, we will sell all twenty horses to you!" Ji Kaisheng said very generously.

"Good! Master Ji is refreshing! Then the price ......" Ma Youde was overjoyed. As a middleman, he has dealt with North Koreans for many years, and he knows the key point - North Korea has lacked high-headed war horses since ancient times, so this high-quality horse is indeed as many North Koreans as there are, and the price is much higher than the market, and he has a lot of profits!

"Let's not talk about the price. This horse smuggler is a capital offense! Brother Ma, what can you do to hide from the border guards? Once we miss, our young master can't be on the back of the black cauldron! Ji Kaisheng interrupted Ma Youde and asked seriously.

"This has its own way, and you don't have to be frightened by the young master. Moreover, after I return to China, I will do the great work of your young master and Mr. Ji like my country's monarch! "This time, it was King Li Xian who took the initiative to talk, and it was in Chinese.

"Thank you, King Joseon!" Ji Kaisheng reluctantly hugged his fist to the north, completely to make this deal that would not exist, and also changed the lord of the country, the monarch and the like to the king of North Korea!

"Then let's talk about the price!" Ma Youde looked at Zhang Suihan, which meant that he could go.

"Hehe, it's not in the way, he is also my family's old patron, let him know how much our family's good horse Baoju is worth, so that he will not be able to reduce the price in the future!" Ji Kaisheng joked to relieve Zhang Suihan.

"Alas, I am a horse dealer, how can I be compared with the lord of Korea! This business will not be easy to do in the future, it seems that your young master's business will not be able to continue, alas! I can't lose those few outside the gate! Zhang Suihan looked bitter, and looked at the North Korean businessman with a pair of small eyes.

Li Xianwang's eyes flashed, and he looked at Zhang Suihan slightly, and saw that Zhang Suihan responded, so he said to Ji Kaisheng:

"Mr. Ji, how about the remaining twenty horses, as long as they are of the same color as the one downstairs, one hundred taels each?"

"Hehe, twenty-one high-headed war horses have been paid at once, and presumably the king of Joseon will definitely reward Mr. Li heavily. One hundred and twenty taels each, and the one downstairs counts as a deposit for you! Ji Kaisheng showed the "generosity" that a businessman should have, albeit "generous to the royal family".

"Okay, Mr. Ji is so bold, I can't let you laugh! Deal! "King Li Xian is overjoyed!

"Well, it's a deal! Fifteen days later, Sheng Jing, hand over the money, and take the horse with the other! Shopkeeper, pick up pen and paper! Ji Kaisheng is ready to be determined.

"Slow! This word ...... "King Li Xian hesitated.

"How can there be a reason not to write evidence for doing business? Could it be that this is ......" Ji Kaisheng looked displeased.

"Mr. Ji misunderstood, this Manchu Hulu is not allowed to sell horses to my little China since the 'Bingzi Rebellion [1]", once the note falls, isn't it a cocoon to bind himself?" Li Xianwang blurted out the word "Hulu", Ji Kaisheng and Zhang Suihan were all frightened, and said in unison:

"Sir, be careful!"

"Hmph......" King Li Xian looked disdainful and responded contemptuously in a nasal voice.

In Hongyi's view, this North Korean businessman who calls himself "Little China" is really a pretentious and awe-inspiring artificiality! The Chinese civilization has been growing for 5,000 years, and it can be traced back to its roots, not because of a simple nation holding the banner of a certain nation, but because of the inheritance and development of advanced civilization by hundreds of millions of people. No matter what time it is, it will not be your turn to do anything Chinese orthodoxy in a small Korean kingdom, just like Shandong or Henan, you can't say that you are the Chinese orthodox, but can only say that you occupy a unique position and have a unique role in Chinese civilization. At present, North Korea is far from reaching this status, at best, it can only be said that it is just a shiyan field where Chinese civilization spreads far and wide!

…… Everyone was silent......

"Master Ji, let's use Korean characters to build evidence." Hongyi waited for a while, knowing that he didn't speak, whether it was Ji Kaisheng or Zhang Suihan, they all categorically didn't dare to speak. Finally, while playing, he said a word, and did not pursue the title of "Hulu".

You must know that at that time, as long as anyone took the case, the No. 10 imperial guards who were still hidden around would instantly arrest these two North Korean businessmen who committed great disrespect!

"That's right, the young master is smart!" Ji Kaisheng's spirits were lifted, and he was a little excited in his heart. As a royal clan member of Aixin Jueluo, he did not stick to the type of writing, although on the surface it seems to have another big picture, but it is so calm, it seems to be ...... It seems that he also takes care of the slightest fear in the hearts of the ministers of the Han family!

"Mr. Li, do you think this is good? Twenty good horses is not a trivial matter, and we must leave a note. Writing in Korean, even if it is captured by ordinary soldiers, how many people do you know? You have been in business for a long time, and what joints can be used cheaply, you must have counted them, and they are not the same as the unimpeded passage in your place? Ji Kaisheng said to King Li Xian with a smile.

"Haha, it's easy to talk about the border gate! It's okay, let's use our Chinese script to make a note! The nature of the North Koreans' love of vanity was exposed, and one or two sentences of "flattery" that were not considered flattery were immediately complied with.

This King Li Xian is not a fool. I saw that good horse just now, it is in excellent condition, it must be a war horse in the army. It can be inferred from this that it is estimated that eighty percent of the little guys who can speak Korean are descendants of North Korea who live in the Northeast, and their family should also be engaged in military horse breeding in Shengjing, Guanwai. And this entourage of several people, all obedient to this hairy child who can just speak, must be the young master naïve, inferior slave bold, come out to ask for a few spare money to spend, completely unknown how much this BMW is worth! If the other twenty horses are all of this kind of goods, once this business is done, it will make a lot of money after being transported back to North Korea as a **, and it will inevitably be valued by the lord Li Hao [2]! Now, as long as the details such as the delivery time, delivery condition, and the proportion of stallions and mares are written in detail in the note, you can be done!

Half an hour later, the Korean "contract" in duplicate was put into the arms of Ji Kaisheng and Li Xianwang respectively, and at the request of Ji Kaisheng, Li Xianwang personally wrote it, and after handing it over to the "young master" to read hastily, Li Xianwang and Ji Kaisheng signed and sealed their respective names.

The group got out of the restaurant, and Ji Kaisheng very generously pulled the royal horse from Mara's hand and gave it to King Li Xian without hesitation. really got this good horse, and the pair of small eyeballs of "Goryeo Stick" were about to pop out, and they thanked him vigorously.

"Master Ji, little master, I'm really losing a lot...... Alas, leave it at that! Zhang Suihan sighed, made a look and hurried away. Hongyi was very relieved to see that he had not walked a few steps, and then followed his imperial horse, bypassed several crowds, and disappeared without a trace......

"Let's go too, let's go and discuss the next step!" Hongyi saw that there were no suspicious people around, and he also breathed a sigh of relief, which can be regarded as the first perfect step of the Long March.

"Lord Belle, why don't you go to my house nearby, and let's discuss it carefully?" Ji Kaisheng proposed. didn't return to the Forbidden City because Yang Yongjian and Min Xu beside him had no merit, so naturally they couldn't enter the palace.

"It's okay, let's go to Master Ji's mansion to bother!" Hongyi hugged his fists and understood Ji Kaisheng's good intentions.

"Xiao Gongzi, you go to Songzhuzhai and wait for Master Zhang, as soon as he comes back, let him come to Master Ji's mansion!" Hongyi is still thinking about the outstanding store manager Zhang.

"Huh!" Liang Gong gently put down Hongyi, and asked Ji Kaisheng for the specific address near the Liuli Factory, and ran away.

"Master, the minion is carrying you!" Mara asked, hunching down.

"No, you don't have to do such an errand. You don't have to, I'll just go by myself! Hongyi resolutely refused to carry his demands and resolutely walked on his own. The four of them had no choice but to obey him, but they had to hunch their waists when they spoke, and it was not necessarily so easy. But everyone has some feelings in their hearts, "such an errand"? They don't have to do an errand like a slave, who are they? Could it be Hongyi's favored and relied on subordinates? Helper? Even like friends...... Everyone is thinking that there may be a different answer, but their thoughts are flying......

Suddenly, a book flew close to Hongyi, and it landed at his feet. said that it was too late and that it was fast, Mara had already blocked in front of Hongyi with an arrow, and a goose feather knife was horizontal in her hand......

"Don't panic!" Hongyi comforted Mara, and when he saw him put away his waist knife and flash it aside, he stepped forward to pick up the book and read softly: ""Guoyu [què]"? ”

Not far away, it exploded - I saw several strong men, surrounding an old man in his sixties, pushing and shoving, and disrespectful words. The old man clung to a few books, but was snatched out and abandoned by several strong men......

[1] The Battle of Bingzi was an aftermath of the invasion of Korea by the Qing army between 1636 and 1637 after the Kingdom of Korea. This is the second time that Houjin conquered Korea, and it is also known as "Bingzi Ran" in Korean history books. The Bingzi Chaos and the previous Ding Mao Chaos are collectively referred to as the "Bing Ding Rebellion". After that, Korea became a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty and accepted the canonization of the Qing Dynasty [Resolute Top!] Joseon severed its relations with the Ming Dynasty, the original suzerain, and the era name used by North Korea was changed from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty. Joseon Injo sent his eldest son Li Wei and second son Li Hao to the Qing Dynasty as hostages, and Korea paid tribute to the Qing Dynasty. Although Korea submitted to the rule of the Qing Dynasty, the Koreans were very disgusted with the Qing Dynasty and called the Qing Dynasty "Hulu". Such hostile titles and attitudes abound in the "Records of the Joseon Dynasty". The "Battle of Bingzi" not only relieved the worries of the Qing Dynasty but also smashed the Ming Dongjiang defense line. From then on, North Korea no longer supported the Ming Dynasty, but sent troops and grain to participate in the war against the Ming Dynasty, so the military strength of the Qing Dynasty increased greatly. In short, Huang Taiji not only controlled Korea but also weakened the Ming Dynasty through the "Battle of Bingzi".

[2] Joseon Hyojong Li Hao (1619-1659), the name Jingyuan, the name Zhuwu. Reigned: 1649-1659. The seventeenth monarch of the Joseon dynasty of the Lee family, the temple name is Xiaozong, and the name is Xuanwen Martial Saint, Xianren, Mingyi, and Zhengde King.
