please make me king

Chapter 1634 "Angel"

"Your Excellency is an angel?"

The king of North Korea, Li Yu, didn't know that Zhang Shun was plotting against his Phi Island again, but it was the first time he saw such a young "angel", and he couldn't believe it.

Are you sure you're not joking?

How old are you, I'm afraid you don't even have full hair!

Of course Li Dingguo understood the thoughts of the North Korean monarchs and ministers, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Gan Luo is the prime minister at twenty, and Taigong is at eighty the king of Wen. Aspirations are not in the old and young, and there is no ambition to live a hundred springs in vain!"

"My lord, don't laugh at my young age. I was able to fight the enemy at the age of ten, and now I have reached the rank of commander-in-chief at fifteen."

"Oh? What are you capable of, from being an officer to being a commander in chief?" Everyone didn't believe what was said, they only thought that Zhang Shun had sealed up a young man indiscriminately, deliberately humiliating himself and others.

"Do you have any other skills?" Li Dingguo frowned and thought about it, and then smiled, "It's just that in the previous battle, Kong Youde, the puppet king of the Eastern Captives, was beheaded!"

"Ah!" As soon as Li Dingguo said this, the North Korean monarchs and officials suddenly changed their colors in horror.

Do you know why?

It turned out that Kong Youde was originally Mao Wenlong's general, and was adopted by him, Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi and others as his adopted grandson, so he was known by the Korean state.

Later, after the Denglai Rebellion, he took refuge in Houjin and was named King Gongshun.

Later, he acted as the vanguard to attack Dongjiang and North Korea, and the North Korean government and the opposition suffered enough from him.

The king of North Korea, Li Zhen, never expected that the famous "evil thief" Kong Youde would die at the hands of this half-baby, and he couldn't help but be in awe.

He hastily said: "Before this king was blind to Mount Tai and underestimated a real hero, please, General, don't remember the villain's mistakes, and forgive me!"

"Those who don't know will not be guilty!" Li Dingguo waved his hand and smiled like a little adult, "I am here today to help your country choose and train soldiers so that they can be recruited in the future. I wonder what your lord thinks?"

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, that's what it should be!" Li Yan couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard that the Heavenly Dynasty was going to help him choose soldiers and horses.

It turned out that there were not many Korean national soldiers, but due to the high level of hierarchy between the upper and lower levels and backward tactical thinking, there were few invincible soldiers except for the elite soldiers of Hamgyong Road.

This was also the root cause of the collapse of the Korean soldiers at the time of the Imjin Rebellion.

Now that they heard such a good thing, the whole North Korean country no longer cares about where to send troops.

The two sides' calculations have been settled, Li Dingguo strikes while the iron is hot, and hastily said: "When I was about to go to Korea as an envoy, there was another old man accompanying me."

"This man has nothing else to do but to be a cargo farmer. Please be kind to His Highness and allow him to lead ships to various ports for trade."

"This..." Li Zhen looked at Sun Kewang, who was next to Li Dingguo, who was of the same age, and hesitated for a while, then readily agreed.

"Okay then, our country doesn't allow businessmen to come and go casually, since the angel has invited me, I dare not refuse!"

It turns out that at this time, the trade between the two sides of the Ming Dynasty was carried out with each other's envoys.

Among them, there are public and private ones, and the market is generally opened on the spot.

Both parties have great restrictions on the materials bought and sold, and the quantity bought and sold.

For example, the tribute trade between North Korea and Ming Dynasty generally adopts the "eight packages system" and "the method of searching for silver".

Due to the lack of silver in North Korea and the use of silver in internal transactions, silver can only be used in foreign trade.

However, the poor and the poor in North Korea are weak, and they often cannot make ends meet in transactions. Therefore, when the court sent an envoy to Ming Dynasty, it adopted the "eight guarantee system".

The so-called "eight bags system" means that the "official officials" who are on the mission are allowed to carry "eight bags".

Among them, the so-called official officials include translators, military officers and generals, and "eight packs" generally refer to the ginseng that carried eight packs as hard currency.

Generally, ten catties of ginseng is a pack, and "eight packs" are eighty catties of ginseng, worth about 2000 taels of silver.

This ensures that the only silver in North Korea will not flow out casually.

What, you say free trade?

Sorry, we are a feudal society, we don't need that!
Seeing that Sun Kewang was young and didn't carry much cargo, and that he had just received the benefit of Li Dingguo's selection and training of elite soldiers, Li Zhen agreed to his request.

Not to mention how Li Dingguo selected and trained soldiers, but also said that Sun Kewang, who had obtained Li Zhen's royal order, was worried that the port would be frozen, so he bid farewell to Li Dingguo and left Seoul.

It turned out that this time Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang were different from Huang Sunmao, and this time they went a step further.

From the original rocky mountain port near Pyongyang, sail south to the area around Seoul.

So Sun Kewang took two small boats of [-] materials, set off from Seoul, headed south to the Daheishan Islands, turned east, crossed the Jeju Strait, and then arrived in Busan.

Sun Kewang had just arrived near Busan, but he saw seagulls in the sky and boats all over the sea, it was different from other places, it was a bustling scene.

He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Unexpectedly, North Korea has such a good place to go!"

After he checked the certificate, paid the fee, and entered Hong Kong, he saw Japanese samurai with shaved heads, pale Japanese geisha, and Korean women in immoral attire everywhere. It is quite different from China.

That Sun Kewang was young and energetic, he had never seen this before, his eyes suddenly didn't know where to look, his whole face was flushed red.

"This young master invites you!" At this moment, a man stepped forward to pay homage.

"Oh? You are?" Sun Kewang looked at him in surprise. If he didn't have a high nose, deep eyes, and curly hair, he would have thought that this person was from the mainland.

"My surname is Pu, and my name is Chang Luo. I am from the Far West. I didn't expect to meet the son of Daming here!" the man replied in a strange tone.

It turned out that this person was a merchant from Europe. Seeing that Sun Kewang was young and with thirty or twenty entourages, he thought he was the son of a nobleman from the Ming Dynasty.

"Oh, hello, hello!" Sun Kewang replied awkwardly, not knowing what to say for a while.

However, this Park Changluo is familiar with him, and pointed out for him: "Are you a little shy about this?"

"Oh, it's okay, don't worry, look boldly, they are all like this!"

"However, you must not treat them as prostitutes, or you will be beaten!"

Speaking of this, Park Changluo looked terrified, and it seemed that he had experienced it himself.

"Oh? Where are you from? What kind of business do you do?" Sun Kewang remembered Zhang Shun's confession of his business, so he didn't want to continue talking nonsense with him on this topic.

"Oh, as I said, I came from the far west and traveled across the ocean. First I went to Macau, then Taiwan and Japan. I took a boat from Bodo a few days ago and sold some Western things!" said At this point, Pu Changluo looked Sun Kewang up and down, and couldn't help but sell him.

"I don't know if this young master is interested. I have a treasure here. If you take out 5000 taels, oh, not 3000 taels, I will give you this treasure!"

"What treasure?" Sun Kewang couldn't help being surprised when he heard what Pu Changluo said, "It's 3000 taels?"

"Dang, clang, clang!" Seeing that Sun Kewang had taken the bait, Pu Changluo hurriedly led him to a few companions not far away, and triumphantly opened a package.

"Self-ringing bell?" Sun Kewang took a closer look and couldn't help laughing.

It turns out that this self-ringing bell is a rare thing in Shaanxi, and Sun Kewang has never seen it before.

However, when I arrived in the capital, I found that there were many for sale, and each of the middle samples was only sold for 50 taels of silver. This guy really took him for a fool.

He couldn't help laughing: "I've seen this thing before, and I don't want to buy it. However, if you can tell me the route when you came here in detail, I don't mind paying a little money!"
