Martial arts crossing begins with the story of looking for Qin

Chapter 591 Backcountry
Huang Feng asked: "How to cut it off? If they come hard, will we kill people?"

This question is very critical. As long as Huang Shang nods and can kill people, then other things are just trivial and can be done no matter what.

Huang Shang said: "It's not easy to make a living at sea, and we have no grievances. I don't want to hurt more lives. But this is an extraordinary period. Anyone who can be persuaded to return is encouraged to return. There are really people who are not afraid of death, and there is nothing we can do."

Huang Shang didn't want to decide the life or death of someone he had never met before, but since he couldn't do it himself, he couldn't manage it too carefully.

The original restriction on Huang Feng not to kill Song people was just to show a little more tolerance to people who were not his enemies, and because he was afraid that Huang Feng would fall into ruthless and unjust killings and be unable to extricate himself, so he set up a framework to prevent him from being killed. Really lawless.

Now that I can give in to this extent, I have exhausted my benevolence, and the rest is left to fate.

Huang Shang set the rules and said it was simple, but when it was actually implemented, it was far from that.

It doesn't look far on the map, but when it comes to the sea, it's boundless. It's not easy to intercept a few boats.

Huang Shang didn't care about this, left after explaining, and sneaked into Korea secretly with Li Canghai.

Wang's Goryeo had been founded for more than 100 years. At this time, Emperor Wenzong was in power, living in harmony with the Liao Kingdom, trying to restore diplomatic relations with the Song Dynasty, and also communicating with Japan. This was the prosperous period of the Goryeo Dynasty.

When Huang Shang entered the territory of Goryeo, the city was small and there were many mountainous areas. It was far less populous and prosperous than Quanzhou, but it still had an atmosphere of peace and prosperity, and things with the imprint of Song culture could be seen everywhere.

Buddhism was prevalent in Korea, with many temples and Confucian culture worshiped. Chinese was even the main language of the upper-class nobles. It was also greatly influenced by Chinese culture, but the level of poetry on the Korean Peninsula was far superior to that of Japan.The artistic standards of calligraphy and painting are also extremely high, and even the level of imitation porcelain is extremely high. Celadon is their masterpiece.

Huang Shang came to Gaijing, the capital of Goryeo, leisurely and leisurely. It finally looked like a big city.

Goryeo architecture is mainly composed of stone walls, wood and tiles, with roofs of varying heights. Influenced by the Tang and Song Dynasties, it also has its own style.

After entering Kaijing, Huang Shang stopped rushing and wandered around every corner of Kaijing all day long, looking aimlessly.

Huang Shang and Li Canghai stayed at the Lijia Inn, the largest inn in Kaijing. They booked their private room at Tianzi No. [-]. The money they spent was enough to buy a property in Kaijing. This was just the purpose of Huang Sang coming here. Not to live in seclusion, but to inquire about all kinds of information. There is no better place than an inn.

Li Canghai said: "You can indeed see a lot of things from the Song Dynasty here. You cut off their trade route, so they should be worried. And in the future, your family will monopolize this trade route, which will really make a lot of money."

Li Canghai does not speak Korean, so even in private rooms, he does not speak loudly. Although the official people understand Chinese, the people still mainly speak Korean.

Huang Shang shook his head and said: "How much profit can there be? This place is still relatively poor, and the market for real luxury goods is too narrow, mainly relying on daily necessities. How profitable can daily necessities be? It's just small profits but quick turnover. Patriarch Huang Shen monopolizes the business here. The purpose of the road is not to make money. The real profitable business is the ocean trade run by the third brother. And the third brother wants to get involved here not to make money, he is willing to give money back. "

Li Canghai shook his head and smiled bitterly. He could understand Huang Jinyuan's thoughts, but he didn't understand his obsession. He gave up his business of making a lot of money every day and came here to cheat.Li Canghai asked: "Are you here to investigate the path taken by Patriarch Huang Shen?"

The last time Huang Shang went to sea to go to Korea, he just walked through it, and he didn't stop in Kaijing.Goryeo could only be regarded as a stop on his way to sea, and from a business perspective, it was quite a failure.

Goryeo was different from other places. After cutting off official contacts with the Song Dynasty, such private contacts among the people were not allowed to appear on the stage.Smuggled goods are actually stolen goods, so someone needs to pick them up and sell them.

The last time Huang Shang was confused, he went to Korea. It can be said that he was like a headless fly. It wasn't that no one wanted the goods in his hands, but the price was kept extremely low.

Since it was business, Huang Shang did not use any means other than business. Moreover, he did not just go to Gaoli and then return, so he could not waste time here, so he started on the road again without stopping.

It was also after he left Korea that he was targeted by pirates. I don't know if there is any connection between them.

However, since then, Huang Jinyuan has never been to Korea, or even to the whole of East Asia. Instead, he has traveled further to West Asia, the Middle East, and even Africa.

Huang Shang didn't come out this time to make money. No matter how difficult the road in front of him was, he had to forge his way out.

Li Canghai heard Huang Shang analyze the reasons for his failure in going to Korea. Since Huang Shang insisted on opening up the relationship with Korea this time, it would be most convenient for him to take over directly after cutting off the Huang family in Quanzhou.

Huang Shang said: "It doesn't matter which route Chief Huang Shen takes. He has been able to smuggle without incident for so many years. It's not because of how good his methods are, but because this kind of smuggling is actually tacitly approved by the officials of both parties, and even Encouragement. Of course, the people in Goryeo are very important and have the ability to protect this kind of business. But there may not be jealous people, and there may be people who hope to take this opportunity to reshuffle the power and take over this route. In short, Goryeo is too dependent on the Song Dynasty's goods. Since the goods are in our hands, they are the ones who are anxious. No matter what the situation is, there is no need to worry about finding a way."

Li Canghai said: "I'm willing to do any business at a loss. I think the most anxious people should be you."

Huang Shang smiled and said: "You are right, we are anxious too, but no one knows that we are anxious. Besides, as long as we cut off the relationship between the Huang family in Quanzhou and Gaoli, the initiative lies with us. As long as both parties still want to contact each other, they must Through us. Taking a step back, even if we fail, we actually have nothing to lose, but it is just a waste of energy. In business, there are losses and gains, but it is just a waste of energy, which is not a loss. "

Li Canghai smiled and said: "If your third brother knew that you thought this way, he would definitely regret looking for you."

Huang Shang said: "He shouldn't have disturbed my peace in the first place. He didn't do good business. He insisted on interfering in such national affairs and didn't check whether he was the right one? Even if this thing is really done, It doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a good thing. No matter how slippery the business is, it will still be eaten away to the bone by those politicians.”

Li Canghai said dumbly: "Then you still help him?"

Huang Shang said: "No family is always prosperous, and there are many who are prosperous for a while and eventually decline. The third brother wants to do this now, and what I said are all baseless guesses. What is there without risk? You can't do it for these reasons. If the risk is high, just do nothing. If you stop eating because of choking, you won’t need it later, and you have to die now.”
