Ming Dynasty: Huddled in Beiping and became the magistrate. Chapter 214 Li Chenggui returned to the army Latest website: "Goryeo and our Prince Yan's Mansion are doing business, so how can they do business? Although you are not merchants, you have gone to Peiping often.
I worked as a steward at Zhangjiawan Pier in the Mansion, as well as in various shops under Prince Yan’s Mansion..."
"Everyone, the essence of trade is the exchange of interests... and now that trade is dominated by our Prince Yan's Palace, then the interests of our Prince Yan's Palace need to be at least twice as much..."
"As for the dignitaries of Koryo? There is no need to pay too much attention... If they can't accept it, there is no need to do business...
However, His Highness the King of Yan wants to turn the Kingdom of Koryo into the Kingdom of Yan, and you all need to work hard. When the Kingdom of Koryo becomes the Kingdom of Yan, you will all be civil servants who will follow His Highness to conquer the Kingdom of Yan, so your status in the Kingdom of Yan... I won’t describe the future for you. Your main task at the moment is still trade matters..."
"You don't have to worry too much about the people and the powerful people of Goryeo. You can know through some of the gifts given by those high-ranking people in Goryeo to His Highness King Yan, as well as to Commander Chen, and even from me in the past few days.
The wealth of these powerful families is definitely much richer than that of the King of Goryeo, Wang You..."
"...I want to set up a department in Wangjing, called the Department of Commerce, to be responsible for coordinating the trade affairs between the powerful people of Goryeo and our Prince Yan's Palace. Of course, the most important thing is to be responsible for coordinating the powerful people in Goryeo...
In addition, a municipal shipping department should also be established in Ganghwa Port..."
"...There is only more than thirty miles from Goryeo Wangjing to Ganghwa Port. You should also think more and see if any Goryeo dignitaries want to hire Goryeo people to pave this road with cement roads..."
"Cement can be transported from our Prince Yan's Mansion, or it can be produced in Goryeo..."
"You will separate some people to find those Korean dignitaries and learn from them what the Korean people like most about our Ming Dynasty...
Just look for the powerful and wealthy people of Goryeo. The people of Goryeo don't need to pay attention. They have no money to buy...
In addition, you will also search again to see if there are any good things from Korea that I can sell to Daming, especially good things like Korean ginseng. Don’t worry about the price. The gentry and aristocratic families in Daming are richer than the powerful people in Korea.
..."
"Also, you all need to learn Korean... You also need to do more research. Korea also has a lot of iron ore, copper mine, silver mine, gold mine, coal, etc. These are all good things. If they can
If you mine it, you don’t need to sell it to the Ming Dynasty, our Prince Yan’s Mansion will take it..."
"There are only thirty of you, and I hope at least half of them will participate. As for the remaining half, they need to govern the King of Goryeo... Remember, a few more people will be sent to teach the Goryeo people to grow food...
Although the ordinary Goryeo people have no money, they are a force that cannot be ignored because of their large numbers. If His Highness King Yan can control all the Goryeo people, those Goryeo dignitaries will be dispensable...
The most important thing is that you must stick to your true intentions and not be greedy for money and lust, thereby delaying His Highness’ important affairs.
At the end of the year, I will ask His Highness King Yan to give 10% of the money earned from trade, and give it to you as a lump sum reward at the end of the year..."
While drinking tea, Guo An told these scholars all his thoughts without reservation.
From the day they set out to conquer Goryeo, these thirty scholars were regarded as the first team of King Yan in the future.
Listening to Guo An's words, these scholars all nodded with bright eyes.
They had personally done these things before in Beiping Mansion.
Even when it comes to laying cement roads, some of them even plastered them themselves!
No difficulty at all...
As for who will be an official in Wang Jing, who will go to the Commerce and Trade Department, who will go to the Shipping Department... there is no need for Guo An to appoint them one by one, they all know each other.
Moreover, each of these official positions is very important, and their number is small, so there is no need to compete. Whoever likes which aspect can go to whichever yamen.
Soon, after the assignments were made directly to each other, and then reported to Guo An, these scholars began to work excitedly.
As for these scribes under the King of Yan who suddenly came to visit, the Goryeo dignitaries were stunned for a while. After hearing about the trade, all of them were filled with excitement.
According to their past experience, when a powerful dynasty captures Goryeo, it will definitely occupy it for decades, or even hundreds of years!
Of course, the Red Turban Bandits, a group of peasant bandits, do not count.
Moreover, after their observations these days, they found that although King Yan of the Ming Dynasty was powerful, he was not tyrannical.
Although in the past few days, some people have been killed one after another.
But those are all people who want to rebel against King Yan, or are seeking death!
Even these Goryeo dignitaries were ready to be squeezed by King Yan of the Ming Dynasty.
And now, King Yan of the Ming Dynasty has brought another big surprise to them, the powerful people of Goryeo.
They were actually able to trade with the Ming Dynasty!
Although they were only trading with King Yan of the Ming Dynasty, it was still trade. They knew that King Yan of the Ming Dynasty had more than fifty large ships moored in Jianghua Port.
Enough to transport a lot of goods at one time.
If the more than fifty large ships are not enough, they can let the Korean Navy's large ships also deliver goods.
You know, ever since Emperor Zhu of the Ming Dynasty issued an edict prohibiting the Ming Dynasty from trading with these vassal states, the most uncomfortable thing was for them, the Goryeo nobles.
You cannot sell some luxury items such as Korean ginseng, thick white paper, and sesame oil to the Ming Dynasty to make money from the people of the Ming Dynasty.
Let alone eat Ming Dynasty delicacies, use Ming Dynasty ceramics, drink Ming Dynasty fine wine and tea, wear Ming Dynasty silk clothes...
With the little they brought back as tribute to the Ming Dynasty every year, they still had to leave some for the royal family, and the rest was not enough for them to share!
