In the seventh year of Chongzhen, August 18.

Xujiazhuang, Harbour City.

Inside the White Castle.

In the past few days, Xu Yuan has been worrying about one thing.

Belle.

There are twenty beauties from North Korea, who were sent to Harbour City by a sea cargo ship a few days ago as trophies.

Although in terms of appearance, all of them can be called beautiful and peugeot, and their figures are attractive, which makes people have to praise: the aesthetics of the Marine Corps boys are online, which is very good.

"Nonsense, this is nonsense!"

Xu Yuan still made a lot of anger, criticized him fiercely, and asked people to give instructions and give the battalion commander Zhang Fugui a note, asking him not to make similar mistakes again.

Because these Korean beauties are women in the palace of the Joseon king, three of them are the concubines of the king Li Liang, sixteen are ordinary palace maids, and one is a princess.

In fact, the essence of war is profiteering and plunder, from the defeated where to grab some beauties to come over, the Ming Dynasty filial piety emperor Zhu Youjiao, his biological mother Ji, is the daughter of a barbarian local official, was sent to the palace after the defeat.

It is that some officials have committed unforgivable sins, and their wives and daughters have ended up in the Department of Teaching and Workshop, and they have become prostitutes, which can be described as very tragic.

And this is the case in all Chinese dynasties, the status of women has always been very low, and during the war it was even more miserable, which was basically property, the nature of vassals, and even reduced to food.

So judging from these traditions, there is no problem at all with the approach of Zhang Fugui and others, after all, women are also a kind of resources, and it is natural to snatch resources.

The problem is that these North Korean beauties are not ordinary women, they are palace maids and concubines, once they occupy and have these women, what does it mean?

Arrogating!

It is a symbol of intent to touch the imperial power.

And Xu Yuan didn't have any idea of being an emperor.

Sending these twenty North Korean beauties to him is simply roasting him on the fire, which will cause countless unnecessary speculations and suspicions, and increase countless suspicions and precautions, which is obviously a thing that outweighs the loss.

No.

He won't want any of these North Korean beauties, even if they are all beautiful immortals, he can't accept them, otherwise it will bring great side effects.

Therefore, the way to deal with it is to give each of them 500 silver dollars, let them be free, they can go wherever they want, they can find whatever they want, in short, all these women have been 'liberated'.

And Xu Yuan's treatment plan, after the report of the "Oriental Times", and after these North Korean beauties got the money, they all made the decision to stay in Harbour City for development, and they also planned to start a business together and open a kimchi restaurant...... This suddenly became a positive propaganda example, and it was hotly discussed in the Ming public opinion venue.

But out of expectation, most of the male readers disagreed with Xu Yuan's approach, thinking that he was 'fake and high', whether he was not capable of something.

However, among the majority of female readers, it has been highly praised:

"This owner of Xu Zhuang, he understands us women, he knows what we want most."

"Why? Why can't I meet such a good man? A famous prostitute in a green house held a newspaper in pain.

"Freedom is something that men have at their fingertips, but it is something that we women can't get in our lifelong pursuits."

"I hate to be one of those twenty North Korean beauties."

"Giving people the right to choose freely is true humanitarianism."

……

In the Imperial Palace of the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty.

Empress Zhou and her sister-in-law Zhang Yan also discussed the report [Twenty Beauties of Righteousness], and Empress Zhou couldn't help but say: "This owner of Xu Zhuang understands the hearts of women in the world." ”

The imperial sister-in-law Zhang Yan, who is recorded as a gorgeous woman with a beautiful and plump face, eyes like autumn waves, mouth like a cherry blossom, nose like a hanging gall, and fine teeth, has been selected as the first beauty without any suspense from the five thousand show girls in the country, even through the "eight passes", she is still only 28 years old this year, but she is well maintained, more mature and plump, and her charm is a little more than that of her girlhood, and she is still the beauty of the Yanguan Palace.

However, Zhang Yan's personality is very traditional and conservative, and she has a very bad impression of the owner of Xujiazhuang, thinking that this is a treacherous businessman and a thief! It should be strong and prosperous, and then kill such thieves.

But this time, Zhang Yan's impression of the owner of Xu Zhuang had to change to a certain extent, but he still snorted and said: "This Xu Yuan is just a show, it can only prove that he is not so lustful, or those Korean beauties are mediocre and can't get into his eyes, if there are stunning women, he is afraid that he will still accept it, otherwise he will not have many concubines." ”

"It's also said that if a woman of such a posture as the imperial sister-in-law is placed in front of him, I am afraid that there will be no hesitation, but will turn into a beast, pounce on it, and swallow it one by one." Queen Zhou couldn't help but make a joke with her.

"Shut up! How can such jokes be made wildly? Zhang Yan scolded with a straight face, but her pretty face quickly became two clusters of red.

"I was wrong for the imperial sister-in-law, and I won't dare next time." Empress Zhou apologized again and again.

"Hmph, in the future, you can't be so big and small, without the queen's body." Zhang Yan criticized again.

"Yes, yes."

Empress Zhou nodded like a primary school student, but when she thought of one thing, Queen Zhou couldn't help but say: "I heard that Xu Yuan still has no wife, and he is thirty and two years old, but his vision is very picky, the daughter of Jiangnan Confucianism does not want it, the daughter of a noble official does not look down on it, and even the princess of the vassal royal family, he can't look down on it, he would rather the position be vacant all the time, and would rather bear the suspicion of all parties, imperial sister-in-law, tell me, what kind of woman is worthy of being his Xu Yuan's wife?" ”

"How do I know, what are you asking me for?"

Zhang Yan shook her head, her eyes were a little evasive, whether Xu Yuan marries a wife or not, what does it matter to her as a widow? It's just that you can't open any pot and mention which pot.

……

The other side.

Xu Yuan ordered the release of twenty Korean beauties and gave them freedom.

This matter is not over, but he was entangled by a North Korean beauty, who begged to see him many times, knelt down and begged for containment, hoping that Xu Yuan would accept her.

Her name is Li Shujing, 16 years old this year, she is the daughter of the deposed Gwanghae Jun Li Hui, a former Korean princess, but after Li Liang usurped the throne, she was demoted to the abolition of the lord and enriched into the harem, and she has a beautiful and delicate appearance, exquisite facial features, and is a stunning beauty embryo, if she didn't often deliberately pretend to be ugly, she would have been eaten by Li Liang, a beast.

When Zhang Fugui invaded Gyeongbokgung Palace, among the twenty beauties who were captured, the other nineteen were forced, only Li Shujing took the initiative to send them in order to seek relief, Zhang Fugui saw that her appearance was acceptable, so he agreed to her joining.

Because it was voluntary, Li Shujing, who learned that she had been freed, was not very happy, but took the initiative to ask for a meeting, hoping to get a better arrangement.

"What else do you want me to arrange, isn't 500 silver dollars enough?" Looking at the little beauty standing in front of him, Xu Yuan was amused by her.

"I don't want money!"

Li Shujing, who received royal education since she was a child, can speak fluent and clear, and said: "I want to be your woman, you are a good person, I like you, can you marry me?" ”

Xu Yuan was surprised, this little beauty is too direct, right?

"Little girl, you say you like me, I'm happy, but are you serious? I'm thirty-two years old, you're only a teenager, the age difference is too much, stop kidding, it's not child's play. Xu Yuan shook his head and said.

"I'm not kidding!"

Li Shujing looked serious, and walked over, straightened her small chest and said, "Do you think I'm beautiful?" Brother, do you like me? Is it okay to marry me~" The little beauties all had small mouths and sprinkled coquettishly, which reminded Xu Yuan of a female star surnamed Zhang in the stick drama, she played the role of an unruly princess, which was very similar to the Li Shujing in front of her.

"Alright, stop making trouble."

Xu Yuan shook his hand and said with a straight face: "Say your purpose, you are in a hurry to dedicate yourself, you must have a purpose that you are willing to dedicate yourself to to achieve it, you can talk about it, I can help if I can, you don't have to be so obsessed." ”

"I want to ask you for your help in rescuing my father." Li Shujing finally regained her serious expression and said.

"You mean Gwanghae-kun?"

"Well, he is now exiled to Ganghwa Island, and he is tightly solid, and it is impossible for me to rescue my father alone." Li Shujing lowered her head and said.

"This matter Yi'er, I will let Xu Huoqing send two ships over, and in ten days at most, you will be able to see your father." Xu Yuandao.

"Also, I want you to help my father restore the country, kill the traitor Li Liang, and regain the throne that belongs to him." Li Shujing said with a hateful face.

"Why am I helping you like this?"

Xu Yuan hugged his hands and said, looking at this little beauty, as if he was looking at a little mentally handicapped, where did this woman get her confidence, or why did she feel so good, just a few words, let him help do this and that, like a nanny.

"So I can only promise to repay you with this."

Li Shujing lowered her head and said, but raised her head again, walked in front of Xu Yuan, looked at him and said, "My lord, you can help me, take me, as long as you promise to help, I am willing to do anything for you, even if it is for me to die." ”

After saying that, she gritted her teeth and was about to take off her clothes.

"That's enough, it doesn't have to be this way."

Xu Yuan waved his hand, stopped her, and said, "I'll let people rescue your father first, so that your father and daughter can be reunited, as for other things, let's talk about it later, how about this?" Also, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you can't practice yourself like this, only those who respect yourself will be respected and helped by others, you know? ”

"yes, got it."

Li Shujing burst into tears, nodded again and again, and her heart was warm.

……

Soon.

On 19 August, the Xujiazhuang Naval Detachment, which was responsible for blockading the port of Incheon, launched a landing operation, and the marines landed on Ganghwa Island, not far from the port of Incheon, rescued Gwanghaejun Li Hun, and resettled him on Jeju Island on the same day.

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

"Thank you, thank you!"

Li Shujing, who got the good news, was so excited that she hugged Xu Yuan and kissed him a few times, which startled him.

On August 20, when he learned that Gwanghaejun had been rescued and fell into the hands of Xu Jiajun, the Korean monarchs and ministers were shocked, and King Li Liang was more like he had been pointed to death.

I just want the blockade to be lifted immediately, and not to release Gwanghae-kun back.

Cowardly.

The Korean monarch and minister just admitted it, just because Xu Jiajun rescued a person, and the effect was better than dispatching 100,000 troops.

And since this day, there is one more frequent visitor in Xu Yuan's White Castle, Li Shujing comes over to play every day, at first it was just chatting, playing and playing, but somehow in the back, he hugged Xu Yuan, and slowly talked to each other...... Later, Li Shujing simply moved into Baibao to live, and had a big suite that belonged to her, and because she was very sticky, she followed Xu Yuan almost every day, causing Fang Qingyan and Xia He to stare at the man with a look of disgust.

It's the Ono sisters with a supple personality, and they couldn't help but be jealous this time, and said two strange things in private, what a little girl is shameless or something.

For Xu Yuan, there is another beautiful woman around him, on the one hand, this is deliberate, and there are some unspeakable purposes; Secondly, man, in the face of a young and beautiful beauty dangling in front of him every day, and posing like he is willing to be eaten by you at any time, it is normal to be unable to hold on, he Xu Yuan is just an ordinary person, not a saint.
