"That's good."

The Ming businessman who spoke was none other than Wu Hong, a hot air balloon merchant who was booming in Beiping at the beginning.

Hot air balloons have little commercial value.

At least for the time being, Wu Hong has looked for many business opportunities and wants to promote hot air balloons, and the most successful thing is to obtain an investment from the Joint Office of Military Industry, but the current technology of hot air balloons is too inconvenient and cannot give full play to the advantages that people expect.

Taking advantage of the fact that he made a lot of money, as well as some good relationships and channels during the promotion of hot air balloons, Wu Hong changed his career and engaged in Minggao's overseas trade.

"The population of the Wa Kingdom is more than that of your Goryeo, but your Goryeo is also a large country with a large population, and the market is far inferior to that of the Ming Dynasty, but looking at the world, it is also among the top five."

The largest population is, of course, the Ming Dynasty, followed by the Timurid state.

I heard that the population under the conquest was at least nearly 30 million.

The second is the Wa Kingdom, according to the newspapers, there are about 14 million, and as for Goryeo, although there are only 4 million registered slaves, but after the research department, the number of slaves who are not registered in Goryeo, as well as a large number of hidden households, should be more than six or seven million.

It can be compared to the middle and upper provinces of the Ming Dynasty, and Goryeo has a large two classes of hereditary classes, and its spending power is higher than that of many provinces in the Ming Dynasty, such as Yunnan-Guizhou and other regions.

"People have a sunny road, we cross our single-plank bridge, and when we do a big business here, we are trying to do business elsewhere." Wu Hong reassured.

He has no power or power, but he is just backed by the Ming Dynasty, and he very much needs the relationship of the partners in front of him to maintain his business in Goryeo.

Hearing the approval of the Ming people, Lu Shunyi was very happy and invited the other party to drink.

On the docks of Seoul, you can see Ming merchants everywhere.

The goods of the Ming Dynasty already had advantages, and now with the production of industrialization, there are no competitors in Goryeo, and with the establishment and rise of the trade road, it has defeated one Goryeo workshop after another.

The Goryeo workshop owners were very dissatisfied, but no one had the strength to expel the Ming merchants.

The king of Seoul, who treated the merchants of the Ming Dynasty best, opened the door of convenience, which increased the confidence of the merchants of the Ming Dynasty, so many people turned around and chose to cooperate with the merchants of the Ming Dynasty.

Minggao trade, in the early days to the merchants of Beiping, with the rise of Shanghai County, merchants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have come to compete.

Merchants on both sides fought, and as a result, the few remaining workshops in Goryeo were devastated.

The whole of Goryeo is full of goods from the Ming Dynasty.

From expensive goods such as mirrors and chiming bells, to rouge boxes, dresses, etc., and even civilian goods such as fire sickles and plowshares, all came from the Ming Dynasty, which brought earth-shaking changes to Goryeo's own economy.

The bankruptcy of its own economy aggravated the hardships of Goryeo, and a large number of ordinary people were unable to make a living, which stimulated the land annexation of the two classes and created more displaced groups.

Wu Hong came to Korea to discuss with his partners the opening of a new business in human resources.

"What? The Kingdom of Heaven actually agreed to the opening restrictions? ”

Lu Shunyi was overjoyed.

Everyone wants a piece of the pie.

As for whether it will harm the interests of the country, even the interest strata of China will betray the interests of the country, not to mention other countries, for their own interests, who cares.

Only the common people care most about the interests of the country, because they have few resources at their disposal.

So the common people are the most patriotic.

Lu Shunyi supported the opening of new channels.

He was responsible for collecting the refugees from Goryeo, and Wu Hong was responsible for contacting the domestic mining areas, collecting labor fees from the mining area and the remuneration of the Goryeo refugees on the other.

Such a business opportunity, smart people think of it.

Some firms charge homeless people a small amount of money, only a few months' wages, while others have a big appetite and even ask for two years' compensation.

"It's pathetic."

"Let's go to the kingdom, where you can have a full meal."

The most important thing in Goryeo is the poor people, and even the hermits who do not have enough to eat.

"Can you eat enough?"

The homeless people showed disbelieving eyes, but the perennial hunger made him have no way out, even if he just heard the words that made people suspicious, he couldn't help but hold up hope, they wanted to eat too much.

"Hmm."

Guys introduced.

When I went to work in the mining area of Shangguo, I not only took care of three meals, but also provided wages.

There is still such a good thing in the world, as if the world is falling a pie, the vast majority of homeless people don't believe it, but what if they don't believe it.

People die every day.

Death is silent, not in the record.

There are a large number of written records in China, after the economic bankruptcy of the Ming Dynasty, especially in the northwest region, where the agricultural tradition is strong, the agriculture that relies on the sky for food is most afraid of the time when the heavens are not good.

The same is true of Goryeo.

During the perennial Warring States period of the Wa Kingdom, from another point of view, it did maintain the advantage of per capita resources, so it was able to defeat Goryeo in one go, and Goryeo had no power to fight back, that is, the long-term stability of Goryeo, and the more solidified interest class than the Ming Dynasty, so that the per capita resources of the people were too low to form an effective organizational force.

One after another, as long as there is a place to go, they can still care about where it is.

Even some commercial banks have asked for three years' wages, and a large number of displaced people have agreed, as long as there is a place to eat, it doesn't matter if the wages are not paid, at least now they are in such a mood.

The rise of the human resources industry has become a new local industry in Korea.

Whether it was the businessmen joining, even the red-eyed two classes of nobles couldn't help but intervene.

A large number of displaced people were sent out, the nobles and merchants benefited, and the working population of Goryeo decreased, alleviating internal contradictions, and a different kind of prosperity appeared.

"If the smart people of Goryeo take advantage of this opportunity to start reforming, promote the industrialization of their own country, and change the traditional agricultural social model, maybe it can really rise."

Someone discovered this phenomenon and began to go to Goryeo to investigate.

The big society and small government of the Ming Dynasty.

There are the Department of Taxation and Inspection, the Department of Inspection, the Fire Administration Organization established by the Great Song Dynasty, the Department of Fire Administration, the department responsible for extinguishing fires and maintaining fire prevention facilities, and even the dung shops contracted to private commercial banks to clean up their businesses.

The Technical Division supports the establishment of study groups.

The Cabinet supports the establishment of research groups.

A large number of scholars were invited and worked, and lived a prosperous life with talent allowances and position allowances.

They have no official status, but they are engaged in the work of the state and serve the Ming Dynasty in disguise.

Therefore, some people went to Korea to investigate, and every outcome report, no matter whether the effect was big or not, proved that they did not eat white rice, and the allowance they received was justified.

Or for the sake of profit.

It is a manifestation of a social model.

Productivity is the foundation.

The development of the productive forces has brought about economic growth and changed the superstructure.

"The two classes of Goryeo brought stability to Goryeo society, but the price of this stability is based on sucking blood from the common people, so it is impossible for Goryeo society to develop industrialization, because Goryeo is different from the Ming Dynasty, the landlords and tenants of the Ming Dynasty are in an employment relationship, while Goryeo is a slave relationship."

"The Da Ming Law formulated by the sage not only forbade the existence of slaves among the people, but also reformed the way of the imperial examination, specifying the Bagu Wen, although it will bring other shortcomings, but it also guarantees that as long as the people who study, even if their family is not good and cannot afford to buy extra books, they can also stand out, as long as they really have the talent to read, and break the monopoly of the big families on learning, which is completely different from Goryeo."

"Look at Goryeo, on the other hand."

"The two classes of classes in Goryeo were solidified, and the hereditary system adopted, although there were also imperial examinations, but they were different from the imperial examinations of my Ming Dynasty, and they were not the same, and the hereditary system brought was a lack of competition and no initiative."

"Therefore, even if I see the benefits of my Daming, I will not take the initiative to learn, unless external factors directly break the two classes, there will be the soil for reform and industrialization."

A variety of academic reports appeared in the technical newspaper.

Social newspapers will also publish some reports that can attract the attention of the people in their own newspapers and periodicals, expand the content that the people want to read, and increase the sales of newspapers and periodicals.

Equally.

Newspapers and periodicals will give a certain amount of manuscript fees, which increases the income of the other party.

"Goryeo is a vassal state, the Great Ryukyu Kingdom, the Small Ryukyu Kingdom, and also a vassal country, as well as Siam, etc., how to divide the people of the vassal state, the people of the Xuanwei Division, and even the people of the Tusi Division, should they be treated equally, or the external reciprocity relationship, how to protect the interests of the Ming Dynasty, and maintain the clan system."

"With the growth of the Ming Dynasty's national strength, more and more regions will take the initiative to become the Ming Dynasty's vassal state, or the new land, what attitude should be treated."

Thirty-five years of Hongwu

Winter.

The news of the saint's birth and illness attracted the attention of the world.

However, the various articles in the society, and even various ideas and questions, not only did not stop, but became more and more intense, and the increase in the number of readers increased the proportion of the social population participating in the discussion.

It's like a lost period.

People have a lot of confusion, strangeness and anxiety about the future.

"Woo~"

Black smoke came from the big chimney.

Three huge warships, departing from the port of Jinju and flying the flag of the Ming Dynasty, arrived in Seoul in Goryeo.

"The civil war of the Japanese country is about to break out, I have tried to pacify the Ming Dynasty for several years, but the effect is not great, for the peace of the people of the Japanese country, the prosperity of civilization, the Ming will not turn a blind eye to the civil war of the Japanese country."

Deng Xing, the general of the Jinju Navy, and Zhou Xing, the former general of Quang Ninh stationed in Seoul, jointly visited the king of Goryeo.

Goryeo King Li Fangguo, although he did not have outstanding performance in history, but this person is indeed very good at judging the situation, and he will neither obediently tie his hands and arrest, but also will not mess around.

His fourth brother was the strongest, and together with his fifth brother, he staged a mutiny and imprisoned Yi Sung-gye, the founding king of the Yi family's Joseon.

The brothers were all smart men.

The fourth child imprisoned his father, and his reputation was not good, although he was the strongest in his hands, and after thinking about the situation seriously, he was not in a hurry to ascend to the throne, but gave it to the second brother first, that is, Li Fangguo.

Li Fangguo did not have his own son-in-law, let alone an army in hand, and belonged to a person who was not a threat, and the fourth Li Fanggan stabilized the political situation in Goryeo with the fastest speed, and concentrated his forces to deal with the fifth Li Fangyuan.

Li Fangguo is also unwilling to be a puppet obediently, and wants to win over the third child and control part of the army to stabilize his throne.

The third child is a person who can't afford to be unprofitable, it's okay if he doesn't do this matter himself, but it is risky to do it, and it can't bring greater benefits, so he doesn't interfere in their fight and chooses to stay out of it.

Li Fangguo's plan failed, and the fourth defeated the fifth, and the general trend was gone, and he immediately obediently handed over the throne to ensure the lives of his own children.

So Li Fangguo quickly sensed the danger.

"Is the Upper Kingdom going to take away the army of the Lower Kingdom of Goryeo?"

"Yes."

Zhou Xing nodded in acknowledgement.

Li Fangguo is a smart person, it is very convenient to deal with smart people, everyone knows the interests that everyone wants, and knows what to do, so as to maintain the cooperation between the two sides and not do unexpected things.

"But what about the Left Army's temperance envoys?"

Li Fangguo asked worriedly.

"In order to maintain the stability of the Wa Kingdom and ensure the peace of the local people, the Ming Dynasty is willing to send troops to maintain stability, so for the sake of Goryeo, which is dedicated to China, the Ming Dynasty will do whatever it takes, and will also eliminate the culprits who undermine local stability, no matter who it is."

Deng Xing said strongly.

Since the establishment of the Golden State's naval division, there has been no rival on this sea.

With the development of the industrialization of the Ming Dynasty, the navy's steam engine warships have reached nine, plus the rest of the large and small warships, it can be described as invincible in the world.

Although it is not like the Wa Kingdom, which is completely an island country, it is also of a similar nature.

With the Golden State Navy alone, it was possible to blockade the Wa Kingdom or Goryeo.

Zhou Xing continued: "We will go to the Left Army Temperance Envoy and tell the Ming Dynasty that he must recognize the reality and not dare to set off a war in Goryeo and undermine the stability of Goryeo." ”

When Li Fangguo heard this, he could only accept it.

The fourth child is not a reckless man, I believe that he understands the consequences of offending Da Ming, and it will not bring disaster to the Li family.

Sometimes Li Fangguo couldn't help but sigh.

Da Ming chose to meddle in every node of the current situation in Goryeo, and even the heat used and the opportunity that appeared, as if God helped, did not miss an opportunity, leaving Goryeo powerless to deal with.

Where is the future of Goryeo, Li Fangguo can only take care of their Li family and protect their Li family's family business.
