Haeju, located in Haeju Bay, is not only one of the eight provinces of Goryeo, but also the capital of Hwanghae-do, as well as a port city.

The situation in Seoul was complicated, the two classes were huge, the traditional landlord class was the mainstay, and the merchants of the Ming Dynasty gradually expanded around Seoul, and Haizhou became one of the main gathering places.

To the east of Haizhou, the area of Baichuan.

Large jute fields, they are neatly arranged, forming a sea of green, and when the breeze blows, the leaves of the jute make a rustling sound, as if telling the story of their growth.

"Dangdangdang."

The rich and noble old man struck the gong.

Gao Fugui, who is in his forties, wears a white short coat, shoes on his feet, and half of his bad teeth are no different from the people working in the fields.

However, this old man from the mainland is the envy of the local people.

The sound of gongs resounded all around.

Under the morning light, the jute fields are like a beautiful picture, showing a unique charm.

The hills and mountains loom in the distance, contrasting with the clouds in the sky. The leaves of jute are covered with dewdrops and sparkle in the morning light, as if they are embedded with golden jewels.

Jute plants are tall and straight, and they sway gently in the breeze.

Countless figures poured out from the "ocean" and walked onto the trails and ridges, adding a bit of layering and three-dimensionality to the whole scene.

The defenseless people ran under the porridge shed.

The porridge shed has steaming hot porridge.

"Queue, queue."

Gao Fugui shouted in tongues.

Many ordinary people can't understand the Da Ming language, but over the years, they understand the meaning of high wealth.

The room is a good place.

Several beautiful Goryeo women were busy, flirting with the guys from time to time, and the common people were not surprised.

The porridge shed has a sign.

Heng Yun came.

Several stewards gathered together, and they and the guys from the mainland had a table to eat alone, not only steamed buns, but also pickles, and sometimes meat dishes, and the envious people in line had straight eyes.

Cotton in Korea did not spread.

Ordinary people can't afford to buy extra clothes, and they are all good people in a single dress.

Summer is fine, the most afraid is winter, they rely on their own righteousness to fight against nature, since they can remember, they never know what it is like to have a full stomach, and it has become a habit to endure the biting cold.

It is easy to damage clothes when working, so people are reluctant to wear clothes when they work.

They even do it on purpose.

Those who can work in the house are either Ming people or those local people's families, and the beautiful women can not only feed themselves, but sometimes bring some food to the family.

For domestic work, the best place for ordinary people to go is the factories of the Daming Industrial Bureau, followed by the large domestic trading houses, such as Heji these commercial houses, and then the rest of the commercial houses.

Even if you specialize in cleaning up manure, the salary is good, and there is a lot of time to rest.

The reputation of Heng Yunlai's trading house is not much in China.

But what's the matter.

With the size of the firms, it became an urgent need to recruit core men from the country, and most of the talented people in the country were reluctant to join.

Therefore, Heng Yun came to these foreign trading houses and recruited many old bachelors like Gao Fugui.

Just as when Golden State made its fortune, it also couldn't attract too many people, so it started with these people.

Follow the trajectory of history.

The old bachelor and the old bachelor not only live in poverty, but also the end is inevitable.

Thirty years in the east of the river, thirty years in the west of the river.

Gao Fugui never thought that he could become the envy of others in a foreign country, not only married a daughter-in-law, but also had his own baby, and lived a beautiful life with his wife and children on the hot kang.

Therefore, Gao Fugui cherishes his current life very much, and has always been meticulous in implementing the arrangements of Heng Yunlai's shopkeepers and stewards.

Beauty.

is a resource.

Men and women.

A beautiful woman is an advantage in itself.

This is an eternal truth, which is the same in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad.

The stewards wore silk uniforms.

The table was full of food.

They didn't care about the people queuing, even if there were a lot of unclothed women and children, really good-looking women had already been singled out, and those who were qualified or had relationships that could be divided had already been divided.

If it was said ten years ago.

Among the local people, one out of ten is a hermit and a slave, and the production brought by the Ming merchants did not bring a better life.

The intensification of land annexation has increased this number.

Under the increasingly impoverished life, the concentration of production by the Daming Commercial Bank was originally a technology to promote productivity, which not only did not bring more employment opportunities to the local area, but also created more displaced people who could not make a living.

These are the two sides of things.

High-efficiency technology has also brought about the development of productive forces, and if it is used well, it can benefit the people, and if it is not used well, it will harm the people.

After eating the rice porridge.

The people's bellies were still shriveled, and they had gone back to work in the fields under the urging of the stewards.

One of its main characteristics is the fibrous nature of jute, which can be found in the stems and leaves of jute, and they have great toughness and endurance, making them the best material for making hemp rope and sacks.

The tariff on jute is very low in China.

Originally, the areas where jute was planted in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, in the case of increasing market demand, actually reduced production year by year, and replaced by Korean jute, although the price is low, but the volume is large, and the transportation is convenient, it has become one of the main bulk commodities.

Goryeo did not have the Ministry of Workers' and People's Cooperation, let alone Zhu Gaochi's theory of people-oriented regulation and control of social resources, and the power of capital in Goryeo was released like a flood.

These trading houses, which had no roots in the country, had no connections, had weak capital, and were not competitive, actually grew up in Goryeo.

Relying on extreme squeezing, the profits of the commercial houses are amazing.

Merchants are smart.

They know how not to attract domestic attention, so they recruit a large number of low-level, incapable lonely and widowed men from the country to solve the problem of the poor in the country in disguise.

And they need people they can trust.

With such a vicious oppression, they dare not trust the local displaced people.

"Wow."

The seven or eight-year-old child, with his hands full of wounds, could not bear the pain and finally began to cry.

No one paid any attention to him.

His father kicked him hard.

The family had no land.

The only way to make a living is to work here, no matter how hard it is, but outside the gate of the Hengyun trading house, there are still a large number of homeless people waiting, they just want to have something to eat, so that they can have something in their stomachs.

The child's face went numb.

The world has been like this since he was able to remember, and he didn't know color.

The harsh environment makes the workers easy to get sick, their physical fitness is poor, they can't stay up when they get sick, and people die of illness every month.

There are doctors in the park.

There are people who can afford to be doctors, but definitely not them.

Seeing their family members die of illness, they will not take their family members to see a doctor, because they have no money, and the next day, they continue to come to the park to work, if they don't come, the job will be replaced by someone else.

Goryeo, like the Ming Dynasty, has no shortage of people.

However, the same industry is two worlds.

Quan Shenxu got off the sedan chair and looked at the jute garden from a distance, such a spectacular scene is not weaker than Shangguo.

Just this part of the agricultural economy planting industry, Quan Shenxu has been to Shangguo, thinking about it, there is indeed not much difference, but why, Quan Shenxu only saw despair.

As a two-class background, Quan Shenxu has a worry-free life.

As the envoy of Huangzhou, Quan Shenxu's status is higher.

He wanted to make Goryeo like Da Ming, and he had seen Da Ming's appearance, but he didn't know where to start.

For example, the jute industry also passed through his hands, and at the beginning, he was very happy that the arrival of the Ming merchants would change the situation in Goryeo and develop like the Ming Dynasty.

But he was wrong.

Ten years ago, Goryeo was also poor, but in the end it maintained its balance, and now Goryeo seems to have come to the edge of a cliff.

"Goryeo is going to die."

Quan Shenxu said sadly.

The water envoy and defense envoy Nan Yi Xiong, revealing an inquiring eye.

"The people have no food, people try their best to escape, a large number of women went to the Ming Dynasty, and the local people did not reproduce, or in a few decades, how many people in Goryeo will be replaced by Ming people."

Kwon Shin-wook is disgusting.

He saw an old man in his fifties with a bad mouth who didn't even know the writing of his own country, and such a poor man married a young woman from Goryeo and gave birth to several babies.

The old man was not satisfied, and even wanted to marry a concubine.

Why?

By economy.

If Zhu Gaochi was here, he would tell Quan Shenxu that this is an inevitable phenomenon in economically developed and backward areas.

The same is true of the Hereafter.

It is also not uncommon for young women in their twenties to marry Western elders in their sixties and seventies.

Isn't it nauseous when you sleep?

They're probably sick too.

Economic development solves most of the problems.

At least the economy has developed, and more young Westerners have married them outside.

In the eighties and nineties, the phenomenon of old husbands and young wives in the West, and even after the new century, most of them became the phenomenon of young couples, which was brought about by the economic development of the country, from small individuals to large groups.

If the poor can't eat enough, they will be looked down upon.

Because the premise of dignity is to maintain food and clothing.

Food and clothing are the premise of being a human being.

If you are looked down upon, you will not be respected.

The womb of Europe, even for the same race, comes at a price.

This is the correctness of localization.

It's not that some people have anything to do with 3,000 yuan, but it has to be related.

Otherwise.

Even if you can roll out, you can only marry the old man's choice.

It's just that.

It is now the fifteenth century.

Coupled with the size of the Ming Dynasty, the uncontrolled capital abroad is like a bottomless pit, devouring everything.

Kwon Shin-wook put forward the idea of attaching.

I hope to take advantage of today's opportunity to make the northern land of Goryeo attached to the Ming Dynasty.

The people-oriented production model in the Ming Dynasty, Quan Shenxu is very envious, coupled with the advanced nature of the Ming Dynasty, as long as the Ming Dynasty accepts the northern land of Goryeo, then the suffering of the people in the northern land of Goryeo will end.

Later, when the rice country expanded.

Relying on force, he took away the plain area of Moge, leaving Moge with five-sixths of the plateau and mountains in the whole territory.

The average altitude is about 1,800 meters.

The north is a hot and dry zone with less than 100 mm of annual precipitation, the central part has a plateau savannah climate, and the south has a tropical rainforest climate.

Some say the U.S. doesn't care about size.

Then they should give the plains back to Mexico, and why not, because Mexico can't beat it.

Huge disparity.

Such land simply cannot support people, let alone develop.

In order to survive, the people of Mexico can only find a way to escape into the United States, or ask to be included in the United States, and the refusal of the United States reflects a high degree of cruelty.

Taking away the other party's land and grain puts an end to the other party's development opportunities and leaves them to fend for themselves.

It's an act of extermination.

There is no right or wrong, and there is no right or wrong in the world.

It's all about profit.

The people of Goryeo worked hard, and the overseas merchants of the Ming Dynasty came to the east of Pyongan Road.

Tea fever is placed on the coffee table.

The butler led the people and served exquisite snacks to the guests.

They did not want the northern king of Goryeo to be attached.

"Before."

General Military Office.

Hall.

The proprietors or shopkeepers of the various trading houses were full.

People talk about it separately.

"Who in China can afford to look down on us?"

"To put it mildly, if it weren't for the fact that I couldn't get along in the country, who would have come to Goryeo."

Wu Hong said loudly.

The proprietor of Heng Yunlai's trading house was also there, and he looked at Wu Hong, one of the first businessmen to come to Goryeo, who had been in the newspaper in Beiping and cooperated with the Joint Office of the Military Industry, but he didn't know how he ended up in Goryeo.

Wu Hong's statement has been recognized by everyone.

Fifty percent of the country's inheritance tax.

In the past, they didn't care much about being far away in Goryeo because their capital was out of reach, but over the years, more and more trading houses exceeded this standard, and the worry about this decree became the hatred of many people.

What is the concept of 50 percent?

asked for their "old life".

The court is robbing money.

They blazed a different path in Goryeo, in a completely different way from at home, and by maximizing their exploitation, their profits were able to shock the merchants of the country.

Xie Gui's nephew finally came forward.

The radiant young man looked at the full house of businessmen and smiled confidently.

Uncle was finally persuaded by him.

Next came the merchants, who had an inextricable relationship with the two classes of Goryeo over the years, and could even change the mind of the northern king of Goryeo.

He wanted to keep his uncle's power, and the merchants wanted to keep their interests.

The two sides hit it off.

Capital is never satisfied.

Their interests in Goryeo could no longer satisfy their desires, and their abundant capital was no longer afraid of domestic commercial banks, and they dared to compete with domestic commercial banks, and put forward the demand for opening up the coal mines in Goryeo.

Xie Gui was the chief soldier of the Ming Dynasty in Goryeo, and Xie Gui submitted his suggestions to the imperial court.

They supported Xie Gui to stay in Goryeo.
