Yi Shenzheng opened his eyes, looked at the white and tender arms in front of him, raised his hand, and slapped the buttocks hard.
With an exclamation, a sweet-looking Korean girl opened her dazed eyes and looked around.
Yi Shenzheng said: "Get some water for me to wash up."
The Korean girl hurriedly climbed out of bed and arranged Yi Shenzheng's clothes.
He thought that the girl did not speak Chinese, and even the shouts she made during exercise were "baiya ya ya" that he could not understand, so he gestured with his hands and asked her to fetch him water.
The Korean girl understood the gesture and hurried away.
It has been less than half a month since I came to Kaizhou.
The plot is exactly the same as what Zhang Jin said. He and Chen Chuyao crossed the sea to Goryeo together and had no chance to go north to Khitan.
King Wang Zhao of Goryeo put them under house arrest as soon as possible and sent troops to protect them when they arrived at the Goryeo Palace.
Corporal Wang Zhaolixian, as if Liu Bei had invited Zhuge Liang three times, persuaded them to stay in Goryeo and gave them generous bargaining chips.
Chen Chuyao did not agree immediately and kept his airs.
After all, he is quite famous in Khitan, and his status will not be low when he goes to Khitan this time.
Although the Khitan has overtaken the Central Plains court in terms of momentum in recent years, it is still the second most powerful country and cannot be compared with Goryeo.
However, Yi Shenzheng readily agreed.
The reason is very simple. Yi Shenzheng has no hope in Khitan, and he may not be reused if he goes to Khitan. In Goryeo, he is at least the king of a country, and the invitation of courtesy and corporal is obvious.
Yi Shenzheng successfully attracted Wang Zhao's favor with his excellent flattery and flattery, and also persuaded Chen Chuyao to stay in Goryeo.
Therefore, Wang Zhao paid more attention to Yi Shenzheng, and received various rewards continuously, including gold, silver, houses, and women.
Except for food, which was not as good as the Central Plains, Yi Shenzheng even felt that he was happy here and did not miss Shu. He even thought that it would be good to stay in Goryeo.
However, Yi Shenzheng just followed his heart and thought that he could not let go of his mother in the Central Plains.
Under the service of the Korean girl, Yi Shenzheng walked out of his house.
Standing outside the house and looking out from a high position, most of Kaizhou’s scenery is in front of you.
The layout of the entire Kaizhou is in the shape of a staircase. The people living at the foot of the mountains are very poor and frugal, and the living environment is dirty and messy.
Up there are ordinary businessmen, who are much better off.
Next is the residence of the soldiers. The population of Goryeo was not large, so the soldiers were treated quite well.
Then there are the big merchants, who have all kinds of shops, hiding goods from all over the world...
Yi Shenzheng walked around a few times and was a little surprised. He even saw the specialty of their country of Shu...Sichuan Brocade.
Next is the area where the Goryeo princes and nobles live, which is where he is now.
Finally, there is the top of the mountain, the Goryeo Palace, which is better said to be a palace than a small castle, overlooking the entire Kaizhou.
These days, Yi Shenzheng has gained a certain understanding of Goryeo's national conditions.
Kaiju, where they were located, was the royal city of Goryeo. After the founding of Goryeo, the founder of Goryeo designated Songak, the land of Longxing, as the royal city and renamed it Kaiju.
Because Goryeo was beaten for a long time, in order to survive, it developed the habit of building cities on mountains. Kaiju was built on Songak Mountain. The surrounding pine forests were lush, and it was also known as the Songdu.
In Goryeo, class status was more obvious. Unlike in the Central Plains, although there were class distinctions, on the surface it was still as if the emperor committed the same crime as the common people.
But it's different here in Goryeo. The common people are the lowest existence.
When officials and nobles pass by, people need to salute to show respect.
Common people are not allowed to enter the aristocratic territory easily.
Unlike the Central Plains, people could do business at the entrance of the palace.
During major festivals, the entire Royal Street is filled with vendors' stalls.
As a nobleman, Yi Shenzheng naturally liked this model.
Yi Shenzheng waved his hand, and his servants brought up the sedan chair.
The Goryeo sedan is a little short, a little ugly, and a bit like a coffin, but it is quite comfortable to sit on.
"Go to the Chamber of Commerce!"
Yi Shenzheng knew that it would be difficult for him to enter the core of Goryeo in a short time, and Wang Zhao would also secretly send people to monitor him.
He was trying to develop a luxurious image and habit of spending money for himself, and find a reasonable reason for his future dealings with people from Wudes in the Chamber of Commerce.
It had just rained at this time, the sun was shining brightly, and a rainbow hung in the sky on the green mountaintop.
Yi Shenzheng was sitting in the sedan chair, looking back to the north to see the lush Songak Mountain in the distance, a unique and beautiful scenery.
As before, Yi Shenzheng visited several shops and came to a ginseng store, where he bought a few Korean ginseng plants. He also exchanged a few words with the owner and asked him to contact him if he had a century-old Korean ginseng.
He developed the habit of drinking ginseng tea in Korea, but what he really wanted to do was buy an authentic Korean ginseng for his mother to replenish her health.
He wanted to continue shopping, but someone hurriedly came to report that Wang Zhao had summoned him.
Yi Shenzheng did not dare to neglect, and instead of continuing to ride in the sedan chair, he borrowed a horse from the Chamber of Commerce and rushed to the Goryeo Palace.
In the palace hall, Wang Zhaogao sat at the top, and below were the civil and military officials of Goryeo.
The one at the top is Park Shou-kyung, the founding hero of the Goryeo Dynasty, and also a relative. There are also Xin Kang and Shihui. All three of them belong to the hero and wealthy families.
Next were Shuang Ji, Cai Renfan and Wang Rong, the Han ministers whom Wang Zhao valued most.
It is obvious that Wang Zhao is using Han officials to suppress the heroes and wealthy families.
Chen Chuyao also bowed his head, and the two nodded to each other.
The two of them were new arrivals and were not welcomed by fellow Han Chinese. Instead, they were somewhat hostile.
After all, Han Chen already sent enough people. How about two more people?
Moreover, Chen Chuyao and Yi Shenzheng are not ordinary people.
Shuangji, Cai Renfan, and Wang Rong came to Korea because they couldn't survive or didn't survive well in the Central Plains, Jiangnan, and Wuyue.
Chen Chuyao and Yi Shenzheng were obviously different. Chen Chuyao was the prime minister of Jiangnan Kingdom, and Yi Shenzheng was the prime minister of Shu. They went to sea to seek a way out after their country was destroyed and were not reused in the Central Plains. Their status levels were obviously different.
For some reason, Chen Chuyao and Yi Shenzheng were not recognized by the Hanchen faction.
When Wang Zhao saw that everyone had arrived, he said angrily: "The Japanese envoys sent people to question me, saying that the Koreans invaded Kyushu Island and plundered it, and asked us to hand over the murderer. What do you say about this matter?"
Chen Chuyao, who was new to Yi Shen Zheng, did not understand the situation of Goryeo and Japan.
But Pu Shouqing, Xin Kang, Shihui and Shuangji, Cai Renfan, and Wang Rong knew about it.
Their relationship with their neighbor Japan across the sea was not very good.
In the eyes of Goryeo, Japan was a barbarian country. Especially in recent decades, they had closed the country to the outside world, and the "Taira Shomon Rebellion" and "Fujiwara Juntomo Rebellion" had occurred. The Japanese court was no longer able to suppress the rebellion, and the emperor declined and recognized the power of local samurai.
existence, relying on the power of local warriors to quell the chaos, making it even more weak and easy to bully.
Many fishermen in Goryeo pretended to be bandits and went to Kyushu, Honshu and other places to rob.
But they were all small fights, and Gao Li always turned a blind eye and turned a blind eye.
