In the southern part of Goryeo, Yuan Rong consulted with the merchants for a long time, and the merchants provided many suggestions. Soon after, Yuan Rong returned to Seoul and went to the Pyongan Metropolitan Division, where he met with the governor of Goryeo, Kang Binzhi.

The guards of the Governor's Palace wore fur coats from Liaodong, the metal buckles on the fur coats were made in Zhejiang Province, including the decoration on the coats, the inner sweaters were from the seven western provinces, and the cotton clothes under the coats were made of cotton from Yili and the Western Regions.

On his feet he wore cowhide provided by the province of Senan, leather boots made of leather on the first layer, and on his head he wore a thick felt hat made of Jinzhou, which was made of raw materials provided by Nuergan. The self-made fire guns and bright knives produced by military industrial enterprises exude a chilling cold light in the severe cold of spring.

In a row of bags on the belt of arms, there were three grenades, as well as paper-packed gunpowder, as well as pockets for buckshot.

Twenty guards stood on the snow-swept street, separated on both sides of the street, in the middle was the gate of the governor's palace, the gate was fully open, Jiang Binzhi and the civil and military officials, greeted the arriving Yuan Rong.

The Governor's Mansion prepared a hot pot for Yuan Rong and his party.

The climate in Ping'an Province is very cold, and although it is already March, it is still a good weather for eating hot pot.

There are several tables in the hall dedicated to eating hot pot, and a large hole is dug in the middle, and a large iron pot is installed, and wood is burned underneath, and the hot pot has spices from Bonidosi, star anise, cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, sweet rosin, ginger, etc.

Venison, roe meat, rabbit meat, etc. are cut into pieces one by one, poured into the hot pot soup, and quickly cooked thoroughly, dipped in the seasoning, and everyone eats with red faces.

These materials and utensils were all provided by the restaurant run by the merchants of the Ming Dynasty, and they had prepared them yesterday.

The guys and guys in the hall are busy, preparing exquisite food ingredients for the guests; Jiang Binzhi toasted to Yuan Rong, Yuan Rong got up to salute back, and the two drank it out, each lit the bottom of the cup, and then laughed.

On the second day of the reception, Yuan Rong and Jiang Binzhi discussed the situation in Goryeo.

"The merchants in the south are reluctant for the imperial court to manage too much in southern Goryeo, but they want to use the strength of the imperial court to make southern Goryeo more obedient." Yuan Rong said disdainfully.

The merchants provided a lot of advice, and Yuan Rong said the essential requirements of the merchants in just a few words.

Jiang Binzhi said with a smile: "Birds die for food, people die for money, and the things that businessmen consider are, of course, from their own interests, aren't all people in the world like this." ”

Jiang Binzhi was not as angry as Yuan Rong, he thought it was normal.

If Zhu Gaochi was here, Gao Gao would sigh a few words with Jiang Binzhi.

Human nature is complex.

How good the reputation of the good lady in the past involves her own interests, and she will also start from her own point of view, say words that are disgusting to the general public, directly from cheering for her to disgusting.

Because the general public also has their own interests.

So what about the good lady.

She is indeed from the general public, but she is no longer the general public, this is human nature, people's social status is changing, the ass determines the position, the position determines the thinking, once again proves the avenue.

Yuan Rong was not very satisfied with Jiang Binzhi's attitude.

As a nobleman, he went to Beiping very early and followed Zhu Gaochi's side, in his eyes, the role of businessmen must be based on the interests of the Ming court, so who represents the court.

Today, although there have been many reforms, Yuan Rong still feels that he is qualified to represent the imperial court in his heart.

Jiang Binzhi is not an ordinary person, he is a smart person, he has worked hard all the way from the new-style school system, and has come to the pinnacle of Guozijian, has practiced in the local area, through competition, and went to Wenhua Palace, the political center of the world to study, and the governor who came out of the clerical room.

He can understand Yuan Rong's train of thought very well, the thoughts of these old-fashioned people.

So Jiang Binzhi continued to laugh and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince proposed to walk on two legs, I think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too smart, because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows what things are unavoidable, and he also knows how to compromise, and blindly being tough will not bring benefits." ”

Yuan Rong's personality is not strong, and he listened carefully to Jiang Binzhi's thoughts.

Jiang Binzhi explained: "In the process of dealing with the allocation of resources in the Ming Dynasty, it must maintain balance and fairness, and take the Ming Industry Bureau system as the main means of regulation and control. ”

The new statement aroused Yuan Rong's curiosity.

Jiang Binzhi is not an ordinary person.

The rising celebrity of the Ming Dynasty has won the recognition of His Royal Highness the Prince, and often praises Jiang Binzhi, with this person's age, it is not surprising that there is a great possibility of going to the core of the court in the future.

Yuan Rong also hopes to learn some new ways from Jiang Binzhi's thinking.

Jiang Binzhi continued: "It is not advisable to deal with it too aggressively or too softly, because they will have a detrimental effect on our work. While we can't do it all, we must do our best to ensure that resources are allocated as accurately and fairly as possible. ”

"However, we also need to recognize that mistakes are inevitable in the process of allocating resources. The mistake of the individual is only a personal problem, but the mistake of the Daming Industry Bureau may cause great harm to the whole society. ”

"Therefore, we must take steps to prevent this kind of mistake from happening."

"In order to ensure the accuracy and efficiency of the regulation and allocation of social resources, we need fault tolerance. At the same time, in order to support the development of businessmen, we also need to integrate their power into the functioning of society. ”

"Through the operation of businessmen, we can make up for the shortcomings of the Daming Industrial Bureau in terms of resource allocation and ensure the normal operation of all aspects of society."

"Then we should actively support the development of businessmen on the premise of ensuring that there are no mistakes. Only in this way can we collectively create a more just and prosperous society.

Yuan Rong thought about it for a long time, and Jiang Binzhi was not in a hurry.

One is His Royal Highness the Prince's most trusted minister, and the other is the Governor of His Royal Highness's cronies, so Jiang Binzhi specially invited Yuan Rong to his study, in addition to showing goodwill, he also has open and honest thoughts about the situation in Goryeo.

There is no interference from outsiders, and there are no records of the clerks, and many words that are inconvenient to publish can be easily said, and no one has a burden on their hearts.

"The mean."

Yuan Rong suddenly thought of a sentence often said by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, "Everything is in moderation, too much, and harmony is precious." ”

"I think the demands of the merchants in southern Goryeo are not conducive to the long-term interests of the Ming Dynasty and go against the purpose of the imperial court, what do you think?" Yuan Rong asked rhetorically.

"Agree to some of their conditions in exchange for their support for our demands."

"What requirements?"

"Take control of the military power in southern Goryeo."

Jiang Binzhi said directly.

Yuan Rong thought about it, understood Jiang Binzhi's thoughts, and couldn't help but sigh, let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince approve, this person does have two brushes, know what is the most important thing, give first and then ask.

The two agreed.

The power of the Ming merchants in Goryeo is too strong, the guards of each factory, together have surpassed the strength of Goryeo, although the Ming Dynasty has strengthened the garrison in Goryeo, the scale has reached 6,000 people, two battalions, but the data on the bright surface is far inferior to the merchants' factory guards.

Of course, the data on paper is empty after all, and with the strength of the Ming army, there is no doubt that it can destroy all the resistance forces.

But the gains outweigh the losses.

The king of Goryeo and the son of Li Fangyuan, neither of them supported the force of the Ming merchants, and belonged to the allies that Jiang Binzhi and Yuan Rong could win over, plus Yuan Rong's negotiations with the merchants.

Within two months, the final concert was sent back to China.

"Reorganize the Southern Army of Goryeo."

Zhu Gaochi did not object after seeing it, and the imperial court quickly passed it, and the matter was handed over to Yuan Rong.

At its peak, the size of the Goryeo Southern Army was 150,000 or 60,000, but in the following years it dropped to more than 100,000, and after the war of the rebellious people, the size was restored and maintained at about 80,000.

With the situation in the south of Goryeo, such a high number of troops could no longer be supplied, and the hidden crisis that could be seen from the mutiny due to lack of pay had reached the point where it could not be suppressed.

Now that the control of the right army of Goryeo has caused Li Fangyuan to die, the military leaders below, Li Fangyuan's eldest son cannot be restrained, and the local economy has been destroyed.

In addition to the fact that the localities are indeed unable to supply, there are also the Right Army Temperance Offices that have lost control over the localities, which in itself is not justified in name, and with the current situation of the Right Army Temperance Offices, people think that the Right Army Temperance Houses are no longer good.

As with stocks, the more unfavorable the news, the less people support it.

In a hurry, Li Fangyuan's eldest son, Li Zhen, agreed to the mediation of the Ming court, and through the reorganization of the southern army of Goryeo by the Ming court, the size of the army was reduced to 30,000, and a battalion of the Ming garrison was used to protect the safety of the right army.

In other words.

handed over the military power and obtained the guarantee of his own glory and wealth, Li Zhen did not feel embarrassed, his uncle has not done the same for so many years, what is he afraid of being scolded.

Li Zhen thought of his father's frequent scolding of his eldest brother during his lifetime, saying that the eldest brother betrayed the interests of Goryeo.

Now Li Zhen really wants to see Li Fangguo's face, I don't know if he is angry, Li Zhen sneered, he just attached the southern part of Goryeo to the Shang Dynasty, and he would not let Li Fangguo take advantage.

The harm brought by a nation's internal strife is more than ten times greater than that of a powerful external enemy.

The same country.

Five years ago, it was pressed and beaten by one country, but five years later, under the situation of unity, it can stand up to the whole world head-on, and this is the power of unity.

The Great Ming in History.

A huge empire, because of infighting, not only led to its own destruction, but also lost the world.

Through the oppression and persuasion of the Goryeo governors Jiang Binzhi and Yuan Rong, the Goryeo king Li Fangguo pinched his nose and named his nephew Li Chun as the prince of Rangning, and issued a royal decree, finally agreeing that Li Chun inherited the position of the right army control envoy.

The northern army of Goryeo has died out, and some of them were absorbed by the Ming Dynasty, and there were only 10,000 left in the Goryeo Central Army, and they were already taken over by the Ming Dynasty, and now with the change of management of the Southern Army of Goryeo, the army of Goryeo has all fallen under the control of the Ming Dynasty.

Overnight, under the propaganda of the Ming Dynasty, Goryeo became a model for vassal states, calling on all vassal states to learn from Goryeo.

There is no most crotch pull, only more crotch.

The weakness of the interest class is often not broken, they will only find a way to keep their wealth, especially in the situation of the upper dynasty, the two classes of Goryeo, especially the big lords, the lords with high status in Goryeo, most of them are divided.

Some stayed in Goryeo to remain in power, and some arranged to go to Daming.

Wealth and children were sent to Daming, and wealth allowed their children to get the opportunity to study in Daming, maintain their family's life in Daming, and be able to enter the upper circle of Daming.

The people in power who remained in Goryeo were trying to find ways to get more benefits, and then transfer more benefits to the Ming Dynasty, so that their children would become closer and closer to the upper circle of the Ming Dynasty.

No elite cares about the future of Goryeo, and no one cares about the people of Goryeo.

When the news of the reorganization of the Southern Army spread, it also indicated that the southern part of Goryeo had become a feast for the Ming merchants and Goryeo nobles, and the entire local agricultural ecology in the southern part of Goryeo was destroyed.

On the contrary, the two classes of local forces with little power and no power, they could not go to Daming, and they could not resist the encroachment of the new forces, for their own interests, called on the people to protect their hometowns, and brought a lot of trouble to the merchants of Daming.

——

"The golden palace towers into the sky, and the jade steps lead to the blue sky. The buildings are heavy and golden, and the wealth and prosperity are high. ”

Capital.

Fan Academy.

The county school, the government school, the state school, and the Guozijian of the Ming Dynasty are a systematic rising system, which only restricts the children of the Ming Dynasty, but there are more and more children of the vassal country, so the feudal academy is built.

The feudal academy actually belongs to the nature of social studies, but because the imperial court attaches great importance to it, people ignore this.

The Domain Academy has one of its characteristics.

Rich.

The students here are generous enough to surprise the people of the Ming Dynasty, and many of the people in the capital have seen them the most, and they are used to understand the vassal states, such as Goryeo.

In addition, the newspapers used to advertise that the Goryeo refugees worked in the railway engineering department, and even had free doctors and medicines, which led to some Ming people even thinking that Goryeo was very wealthy.

The restaurant outside the Fan Academy is magnificently built.

In one word, the more expensive the more guests.

In the extravagant private room, several young students from Goryeo invited their good friends, scholars from Guozijian, and at the banquet, several young students from Goryeo made poems, which won the appreciation of everyone.

"The prosperity of the harvest is boundless, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Food and clothing are worry-free and comfortable, and the people of Guotai are happy. ”

"Okay."

"Good poetry."

People clapped their hands one after another, and Hong Deshou was also red because he was praised by people.

Hong Deshou's father is Hong Xingshan.

Hong Heung-sun's family is in the former Hamgyong Province of Goryeo, and now the Daemyeong Hamgyong Metropolitan Division, and his father is the defense envoy of Gyeongsang Province in southern Goryeo.

In addition to the credit of his hometown to assist the Ming Dynasty, his father's influence in the Southern Southern Army has become the object of the Ming Dynasty's needs.

Because Hong Deshou is good at writing poetry, he not only got a good reputation in school, but even published his poems in newspapers, and became a poet with a certain reputation in the Ming Dynasty.

There are not many people like Hong Deshou, and many Koreans have published their own poems and articles in Daming, and have become famous literati.

Among these rich and noble children, because of the base number, there are indeed some talents who can write words.

The Governor of Goryeo was to establish seven schools in Goryeo.

Railways were built throughout Goryeo.

"The world of Dachang."

"The fact that we can produce so many great writers in Goryeo today shows that we are on the right path, and the road can be expected." Hong Deshou studied the reading club that arose in Beiping Guozijian, and also founded a reading club in the Fan Academy.

Most of them were Koreans, a small number were Wa and Nanyang, and there were also children of the feudal kingdoms in the seven western provinces.

Hong Deshou and his classmates returned drunk.

The carriage of Hongfu was even inlaid with gold on the frame, and some people counted Hongfu, and they obtained at least 100,000 gold in Goryeo by selling rights, selling land, etc., which is a real amount of silver.

Even with the high military salary of the Ming soldiers, they need to go without food or drink for more than 3,300 years.

With this huge amount of money, the Hong family can be rich and prosperous in Daming for several generations.

The foreign feudal people have money, which has become the cognition of the people of the Ming Dynasty, although they don't know where the foreign feudal people make the money, even if they are merchants of the Ming Dynasty, there are not many who can take out 100,000 taels of real money and silver in one go.

A feudal culture has achieved a certain status in the Ming Dynasty, especially in poetry and articles, and even Zhu Gaochi has to admit that the cultivation of literature does need economic cultivation.

Otherwise, how could people who couldn't eat enough have the leisure to study this thing.

There were hundreds of slaves in Hongfu, brought from Goryeo.

They are generous, harmonious to people, every Ming person who has been in contact with them, all praise the benevolence and morality of Hongfu, Hongfu in order to entertain the Ming people, the slaves in the house are generously given to each other.

The Ming people are not allowed to have slaves and maids, but these people are not Ming people.

Goryeo's southern army was cut by more than half, leaving only the sturdy, and the rest of the sergeants were given a severance pay to return to their homeland to fend for themselves.

In the land of Goryeo, it is difficult to see yeoman farmers, and even the original landlords are rarely seen, and instead they are manors in patches.

They looked at their hometown in confusion.

Years of poverty and hunger have left most of their families missing, some of them in search of their families, some of them beggars, and some of them become robbers.

The bandits of Goryeo were exterminated, which led to the further deterioration of the local economy, and only a force with a certain strength like the Daming Commercial Bank could make the Goryeo bandits dare not offend at will.

Clever businessmen even found the benefits.

They gave the Goryeo bandits a certain amount of money and silver to secure the trade routes, and the small trading houses in those places were bankrupted and closed down on a large scale because of transportation obstacles, and finally the big trading houses were cheaper.

There are bandits everywhere, and there are homeless people everywhere.

However, there are more and more literati in Goryeo, and the articles and poems produced have even won the cultural award of the Ming Dynasty.

Under the situation of internal difficulties and external worries, the king of Goryeo could only agree to the increasingly excessive demands of the governor of Goryeo, not only exempted the collection of taxes from the Ming merchants, but even introduced a law, the Ming people in Goryeo can only be governed by the governor of Goryeo.

When the reorganization of the Southern Army was completed, the salaries of the Chinese Army and the Central Army still needed to be provided by the King of Goryeo and the Southern Army Temperance Office.

The Governor of Goryeo spoke in the Damyeongjing Daily.

"The total volume of Goryeo's commercial trade has increased from less than 10,000 yuan in the first year of Yongle to 150,000 yuan in the 13th year of Yongle, an increase of more than 10 times per capita, and it has achieved unprecedented success."

The words of the Governor of Goryeo shocked the world.

The prosperity and prosperity of Goryeo left many people dumbfounded.

What is the concept of 150,000 yuan, it is not worth so much money to sell the entire Japanese country. The power of industrial production has once again become the focus of everyone's attention.

"Tear."

Nanyang.

Polondorakaja, who was in his fifties, tore up the newspapers brought by the Ming merchants.

The faces of the Ming merchants were like earth.

Polondo Raja was a man of incomprehension.

Sometimes he is very kind, sometimes he turns his face when he says it, and sometimes, he will suddenly smile at you and stretch out his friendly hands, such a changeable person, people have a headache and don't know how to deal with him.

Polondoraja scoffed at the remarks in the newspapers, but there were not many smart people like him, and many people were confused by the Ming Dynasty, but Polondoraja was not a fool.

He has been to Daming many times, and has also arranged for many people to go to Daming, and he is no stranger to Goryeo.

"Bolondamore."

"Yes."

In the tulou, the middle-aged leader in his early forties, hearing his name, hurriedly stepped forward and waited for the head to explain.

"The Ming people are too cunning, you see, too many people have been deceived by them, and I have decided to ban the Ming newspapers from flowing into our Siam in the future." Polondoraja said coldly.

After thinking for a moment, Bowon Demo couldn't help but remind, "The kingdom may punish us. ”

Polondoraja shook his head.

There were some things he didn't fully disclose to his men.

Da Ming is too powerful, so strong that many people don't have the courage to face Da Ming, and sometimes, deceiving his subordinates is also a strategy.

"The Ming Emperor is coming back."

"Huh?"

Polon Demo's face was full of shock, and when he heard the news for the first time, his face showed fear.

The first time the Ming Emperor came to Nanyang, he recovered Jiaozhi, and also let the Champa Kingdom attach, so what did the second time the Ming Emperor represent, Bolondaimo had to worry.

Seeing the astonishment on the faces of his most powerful men, Polondoraja couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Since then, everyone has changed their color when they talk about it.

The power of industrialization.

Polondora recited the word again, he was very painful, for so many years, he had exhausted all means, but the results were not great, compared to the speed of development of the Ming Dynasty, Siam was as slow as an old man.

There is also the king of the northern regions.

Polondoraka suddenly had a thought, if he defeated the king and left Siam without a king, would it be better off.

It was precisely because the king compromised with the Ming Dynasty many times for his own interests, which brought too much resistance to Polondoraja.

He attracted the Ming merchants to set up factories on their own territory, and tried to let their people learn from the Ming merchants to build factories, and there were certain results over the years, but with a decree of the king, under free trade, his factories were beaten by the merchants of the Ming Dynasty, and none of them could compete with the Ming merchants.

The Ming merchants earned countless fortunes in their own territory, but these riches were transported back to China by them, leaving no benefit to themselves.

Wrong.

Polondoraja frowned suddenly, and couldn't help but look at the golden chiming bell on the side, so delicate and extravagant, it was handmade by the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty, and a lot of gold was used.

The Ming merchants have honored themselves a lot, but they don't want these.

"O Polon Damour, my bravest warrior, you know what we will face next, do you have the courage?"

Long.

Polon Demo nodded.
