June 26.

Harbour City, White Castle.

After learning that some changes had taken place in the Korean court, professional intelligence analysts came to the conclusion that "the Korean kingdom has reached the limit of its endurance and is about to be unable to hold on, and the time is ripe."

Xu Yuan nodded.

Then his heart moved, and he came to the 22nd floor of the White Castle, the large suite where the concubine Li Shujing lived, and came over on purpose.

"Husband, why do you have time to come to me?" Li Shujing, who was holding a baby girl in her hand, said happily, although Xu Yuan would come to her for one night every week, but the number of times she came during the day was very rare, so there were not many opportunities for the two to communicate and talk, and it didn't matter the passion that was like glue and didn't want to leave every second when it was the hottest.

So Xu Yuan's arrival this time made her really happy.

"What about Jiayuan, isn't he there?" Xu Jiayuan is Xu Yuan's sixth son, originally wanted to be called Jiayuan, but in consideration of avoiding his father's name, he was named Jiayuan, who is now two years old, and is also his first child with Li Shujing.

"I asked the nanny to take him to the playground to play, and I can't take my daughter with him." Li Shujing looked at her daughter Xu Qingxue in her arms, showing a smile full of maternal love.

"Okay, where is your father Li Hui?" Xu Yuan asked.

"He works in the Development Bureau, he can't be idle, and you arranged this job for him." Li Shujing said.

"I'm in my sixties, what kind of work are you still on, send someone to send a message and call him over, I have something very important, I want to sit down with him and you to talk, and let go of everything else." Xu Yuandao.

"Good!"

Li Shujing felt perked, is it finally coming, the thing she and her father are looking forward to the most is finally going to get a response from her husband?

……

Soon.

Guanghaijun Li Hui came back, wearing a set of ordinary clerical work clothes, and was engaged in miscellaneous work such as sorting out documents and materials, managing personnel files, etc., in the Xujiazhuang Development Bureau, and the position was not high, and he belonged to a middle-level civil servant.

However, he is very capable, energetic, and has a very good ability to learn, even though he is 62 years old this year.

"I've seen the owner."

Li Hui bowed to Xu Yuan.

"You are my father-in-law, you don't have to bow to me."

Xu Yuan raised his hand and looked at the burly old man in front of him, with gray hair, but bright eyes and a very strong spirit, and suddenly remembered a lot of information about him.

When he was young, he was outstanding in martial arts, brave and strategic, in the Renchen Rebellion, his father fled thousands of miles in fear, and his brother fled to Daming in fear, but he carried the banner of resistance and brought hope to the Korean people.

After sitting on the throne, he reused talents from humble backgrounds, suppressed the scholars, and had a suspicious personality, repeatedly went to prison, abolished his mother and killed his brother, and executed many members of the royal family who threatened the throne.

Diplomatically, the rat heads at both ends, riding the wall on both sides, both to the Ming Dynasty, and to the Houjin court, both sides are not offended, and finally overturned the car, by the scholars and the royal family joined forces to counterattack, fell 'abolish the mother and kill the brother, the construction of the building, betrayal of the Ming Dynasty' these crimes, became a down-and-out deposed monarch, was scolded countless times.

However, in the modern society hundreds of years later, the evaluation of Li Hui, the king of Guanghai, has undergone a 180-degree reversal, becoming a Ming monarch, a king who is more in line with the interests of a small country, and the reason for his failure can only be blamed for his big step of reform and the fact that he offended too many people, resulting in becoming an unpopular tyrant.

Of course, in Xu Yuan's eyes, this cheap man is definitely not a simple role, and there is often only a thin line between the ancient emperor and the tyrant, and in terms of ability, it can be described by the word outstanding, and it is rare that the courage is far beyond ordinary people, as long as he is given good conditions and resources, he can do a great career.

Then the three of them sat down and discussed while drinking tea and eating snacks and fruits.

"Li Ju on the North Korean side is almost finished, like a broken window that will collapse if you kick it lightly."

"This year's Houjin army plundered, killing and robbing more than 500,000 young people, the Guan Ning army recruited three or four hundred thousand, and more than one million men, women, and children, fled to Jeju Island, so that this small island is a little overwhelmed, the population carrying capacity has reached the limit, and it can no longer continue to accept refugees, so the Korean kingdom can no longer be chaotic, this situation should be changed, the best way is to control North Korea in our hands, remove some obstacles, and then develop and transform North Korea."

"In order to achieve these goals, I have asked people to train 50,000 loyal royal troops on Jeju Island, prepare a large number of materials and equipment, and let the relevant planners design a special kind of 'king manor', consisting of a core king manor and ten peripheral manors, covering an area of one million acres, which can develop self-sufficient agriculture, develop a certain scale of industry, and with the careful support of Xujiazhuang, such a ' The annual net income of the king's manor can reach more than 2 million silver dollars, which is much higher than the financial income of the Korean Kingdom, which means that as long as there is such a manor, there is no need to tax the people outside the manor, and the normal operation of the entire kingdom can be maintained, and the purpose of 'a manor to raise a country' can be achieved. ”

'Wait' After the king's manor was completed and became the core of Joseon's rule, in this new country, the king did not need the people to feed, the agricultural tax was exempted, the poll tax was exempted, and there was no need to serve as a servitude, and there was no burden on the people, nor did it add a burden to the wealthy families, the only thing needed was a large market that allowed free commerce, a road system that did not set up any tax collection gates, and the establishment of a detective police system to combat crime throughout the country, and in the event of a foreign invasion, the king had the obligation to take responsibility, expel and defeat foreign enemies, and defend the integrity of the land and the safety of the people。 ”

"But the only remaining question is, who will be the king of this country, and who will be the master of the king's estate?"

Xu Yuan looked at the father and daughter and asked.

Dramatic tremors.

Listened to these descriptions of Xu Yuan.

Li Hui and Li Shujing, father and daughter, were both violently shaken, and their hearts set off monstrous waves and endless ecstasy.

Opportunity.

They finally waited for this opportunity.

Listening to Xu Yuan's description, they probably had a prototype of the 'King's Manor' in their minds.

First of all, it is necessary to enclose a piece of land with flat terrain, relatively fertile, and suitable for farming.

Then build a large manor like a city in the middle.

Once a small manor is attacked by the enemy, the large manor in the center and the small manor next to it can also quickly support and destroy the enemy, so the defense ability will not be bad.

Food is self-sufficient.

There will also be hundreds of factories of various types, which will become the industrial center of the DPRK, with the capacity of industrial processing, industrial product production, industrial support, and research and development, and bring a lot of industrial profits through small-scale industrialization.

In addition, the establishment of a domestic free trade market, the establishment of a transportation system without tax checkpoints, and the maintenance of a relatively fair and stable social security environment, so that industrial products can be easily sold and occupy the entire national market.

If the profits brought by industry are still not enough, then coupled with Xujiazhuang's financial support, such as supporting hundreds of thousands of silver dollars a year, it will also be an important source of income.

As for the people's approval rating, is this something to worry about? Permanently exempt from the agricultural tax, the poll tax, the absence of any forced labor, and the hardly any burden.

The same is true of the noble class, just hearing the word tax exemption, they are afraid that they will rebel at the speed of light, and immediately defect to the king's manor, the loyalty is directly full, and the loss of benefits is minimal, they have no reason not to support it.

That is, compared with the feudal ruling order of the Joseon Kingdom today, the 'king's manor' system designed by Xu Yuan can be described as full of attraction and temptation, with very low oppression and exploitation, and more freedom, equality and justice, which will surely be welcomed by people from all walks of life.

It's just that who will be the new king, that is, who will be the lord of the manor, it will be a little difficult to decide.

"Let my father be king, and let him be the lord of this manor."

Li Shujing thought for a while and said: "The throne originally belonged to my father, and now it is time to return to my father's hands, but I hope that my father can establish the family as the son, so that when he grows up, he can inherit the throne of the king and become the next king." ”

The current Guanghai Jun Li Hui has no children (all killed), and at his 62-year-old age, it is impossible to give birth to a son, so when he is old, the king's position and the king's manor, it is most appropriate for his grandson Xu Jiayuan to inherit - of course, it is useless for Li Hui to have a son, Xu Yuan invested so many resources, not to be a wedding dress for others.

"No, I can't be this king!"

Li Hui immediately shook his head: "I'm too old, I won't live for a few years, I can't sit on that throne for a few days, when I was the king in the past, I killed too many people, offended too many people, and there were too many people who were afraid that I would go back...... North Korea can't afford such a toss, I must not sit on the throne! ”

"Father, if you don't sit, will you let a two-year-old child sit? Besides, the husband has trained 50,000 loyal kings' army, with this army, who dares to rebel? You still sit on this throne, and when Jiayuan grows up, you feel tired and can't do it, then give him the position, and you can enjoy your old age in peace. Li Shujing said.

"I can't do it, as soon as I sit in that position, I will be irritable and irritable, I will be suspicious, I will have another fire disease (a mental illness peculiar to the people of the peninsula), I may not trust anyone, and I will even go crazy, and I will rebel again...... I don't want to go through this anymore, but now my life is very good, I work eight hours a day, go fishing at the beach in my free time, or go for a ride on my bicycle, and my life is very easy, and the fire is gone...... Don't put me in that position anymore and become a monster. ”

Li Hui shook his head again and again, as if he had completely lost interest in sitting on the throne again, even if he had an urgent desire to return to North Korea for revenge and get back what he had lost, but these were all based on hatred for Li Kun, as for the throne, he really didn't want to touch it again.

"You don't have to fight anymore."

At this time, Xu Yuan spoke: "That's how I arranged it, the king asked Shujing to be you, father-in-law, you were the regent, to take care of the affairs of the manor and the kingdom, the family yuan is the son, and when he grows up, he will inherit everything from the king's manor and become the lord of Korea." ”
