People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 259 Pay off the compensation in twenty years! Move the Jurchens to Lingnan to cultivate fertile land!

ah ah ah...

When Chen Han said this to Li's North Korea opposite, he almost became so angry that he couldn't even breathe.

Obviously this is dumping, which is using cheap cotton to make the domestic textile households bankrupt, and then they have to rely on Ming Dynasty's cotton.

If this happens, there will be no way out even if you want to get rid of it in the future.

In the future, the price of domestic cotton cloth will be decided by others, right?

They can still clearly see this kind of harm.

But in Chen Han's case, Chen Han has become a Bodhisattva to the common people of the Lee family, while he and others have become landlords and bullies.

This is simply strong words.

Eh...this is strong words.

The point at the negotiation table is to silence the other party.

Zhu Di and the others were all dumbfounded. They really didn't expect Chen Han to be so talkative.

And everything seems reasonable.

But no matter how I think about it, I feel that there seems to be a lot of ridiculous things in it.

The Ming Dynasty exported cotton cloth to Li's Korea not only to help the people there, but also to directly obtain food from them to support the military operations of the Japanese slaves.

Because it is really not cost-effective to transport food directly from Daming.

But I didn't expect that Chen Han's move would actually become a good deed to help the people of Lee's North Korea.

The only one here with this ability to confuse right and wrong is Chen Han.

Everyone looked at Chen Han with admiration, he was really awesome.

Looking at the North Korean side of the Lee family, they were said to be speechless.

Chen Han, on the other hand, was full of anger and obviously had no intention of shutting up.

"Besides, this is a commercial act. At least so far, your people are getting authentic and high-quality cotton from our Ming Dynasty.

We, the Ming Dynasty, have never treated you badly. We have not been short-changed or shoddy, and we have made many price concessions to you for the sake of the vassal relationship between the two countries.

If you are so tolerant, if you can't beat Ming Dynasty in business behavior, you will stab him in the back.

Your behavior is so despicable, how will your descendants view it? It is simply embarrassing.

Lord Li, I heard that you were also a brave general when you were young.

I would like to ask, did you use such low-level methods on the battlefield to earn your reputation today? "

Chen Han's mouth seemed to be equipped with a spring, so that no one in the Li family across the street dared to speak.

After listening to Chen Han's words, King Yan Zhu Di added: "As a soldier, even if you die on the battlefield openly, stabbing in the back, and stabbing the country that is kind to you, is simply shameless!"

Ning Wang Zhu Quan also said: "That's right! If you are really capable, come and fight with real swords and guns, support the Jurchens from behind, and use them as chess pieces. What does this mean?"

Zhu Zhi, King of Liao, said: "I heard that Lord Li is the only war god in Li's Korea, but looking at what you have done today, we seriously doubt that your achievements are justified.

Because someone who wants to lose face will never do such a thing. "

Uh……

Such turns of words made everyone present in the Li family's North Korea feel thorns in their backs.

Li's momentum in North Korea has completely dropped.

Negotiation is like fighting. If the momentum is gone, you will be brutally slaughtered.

At this time, even Li Chenggui was angry but couldn't say a word while sitting on the chair.

But they are also angry.

At the same time, it was because I really couldn’t think of any way to curb the Ming Dynasty’s economic offensive that I came up with such a stupid move.

But I didn’t expect that the Ming Dynasty’s ability to resolve this issue was so strong.

Finally, after a long time, Li Chenggui said: "Please consider the sovereign country's weak national strength and make some concessions."

snort! !

Chen Han knew very well that this kind of matter must go through several days of consultation before it can be truly determined. The specific amount must not be so large, but in fact, the above must be able to handle it.

That's what is called being able to hold on.

Whoever collapses will be the loser.

Chen Hanhan snorted: "I asked you to compensate 10%. You are so coy, hahaha... It really is like this..."

As he spoke, he looked at Yan King Zhu Di and said in a very sad tone: "Your Highness, I will say that even if you kindly sympathize with their weak national strength and only ask them to compensate 10%, they will still have to find excuses. Look, Looks like your good intentions have really gone to waste."

King Yan Zhu Di was a little confused by Chen Han's words. When had they discussed this?

And when had I ever sympathized with them?

Isn't this your decision alone?

However, King Yan Zhu Di was also a very smart person, and he instantly understood that Chen Han wanted to cooperate with him in playing the double act.

He immediately slapped the table and said: "I wholeheartedly feel that the national power of Lee's North Korea is weak and may not be able to pay such a large amount of compensation at one time, so I discussed with my husband that since Lee's North Korea does not give me face, then According to what Mr. said, we should pay 50% compensation!”

hissing...

Chen Han didn't even expect that King Yan Zhu Di was really a good material for playing a double act. As soon as he said these words, the faces of Li's North Korean monarchs and ministers all turned pale.

Five percent!

That would be a fourfold increase, which would cost 10 million. This would cost me my life.

Although the monarchs and ministers of Li's North Korea also knew that they were playing a double act, if they really did this, they and others would not be able to live with it.

His face turned pale when he thought of this.

And this negotiation really lasted for several days.

It lasted five full days in total.

During these five days, both sides were at loggerheads, and no one was convinced by the other.

Finally, an agreement was reached. A total compensation of 1,500,000 taels of silver was to be paid back in twenty years, which was 750,000 taels per year.

This is because they are a vassal country, otherwise they would have to be killed.

The reason why we treat them like this is to teach them a lesson and let them know what will happen if they don't anger Ming Dynasty.

In this way, they will not only learn a lesson, but also make the border areas of the Ming Dynasty more peaceful in the future.

The Li family of North Korea in the province thought about how to capture more land in Liaodong all day long.

Of the 750,000 taels of silver each year, they are allowed to provide 200,000 taels of grain as food, leaving the remaining 500,000 taels. If there are other goods that can be exchanged, that is fine.

In fact, they were asked to compensate for the silver, but it was just to teach them a lesson.

But for Lee's North Korea, this compensation is a heavy shackles. Of course, what they didn’t know was that because of the silver they needed to compensate, they had no choice but to give up seclusion and start joining the Ming Dynasty’s business circle.

Because only in this way can they earn more profits.

This also laid the foundation for them to become important trading ports in the future.

Therefore, this is also the principle that blessings lie behind misfortunes, and misfortunes lie behind blessings.

……

After the matter came to an end, Chen Han and the others took the opportunity to discuss their merits and reward them.

He also comforted the people in Liaodong area.

At the same time, King Liao and King Ning were also cleaning up the wild Jurchens in the north and the Jurchens in Haixi.

After the Jurchens of the two tribes heard about the fate of the Jianzhou Jurchens, they did not choose to resist, but obediently submitted.

So much so that later, even if they knew they were going to be moved to the hot Lingnan, they had no objection.

When Chen Han led the King of Liao and others to find the iron mines in Liaoyang, Chen Han had already seen many migrating Jurchens along the way.

The migration this time was mainly to take a boat to the seaport of Liaodong and go directly to Lingnan.

If we really walked there, I don’t know how many people would die on the way.

The first batch of migrating Jurchens numbered 10,000. After they boarded the big ship, they traveled all the way across the ocean to Lingnan.

Xia Yuanji, who has taken office there, will arrange these people well.

At this time, Xia Yuanji was doing well in the south, even though he had just taken office and was still unfamiliar with the Lingnan area.

There are many local snakes here, but with King Chu and the other princes present, no one dares to cause trouble.

The King of Chu and others usually do not participate in specific affairs. Their task is to support Xia Yuanji.

Then under Xia Yuanji's arrangement, he led the people to develop the virgin forest in Lingnan.

The reason why Chen Han wanted the Jurchens to go there was that, in addition to providing labor, the most important thing was that these people were all good hunters.

There are many ferocious beasts in the Lingnan virgin forest, and ferocious beasts often hurt people, especially large-scale reclamation of virgin forests, which makes them more vulnerable to attacks.

Having people who are good at hunting go to help can reduce losses to some extent.

Although the first batch of prisoners were distributed, these human resources are still very valuable to Ming Dynasty now.

After Chen Han confirmed the iron mines in the Liaoyang area, he didn't stop much. Seeing that the New Year was about to come, Chen Han had to rush to Xuanfu Datong area to inspect it.

After the inspection, he had to quickly return to the capital.

Now I am like a spinning top, so busy that my feet never touch the ground.

After bidding farewell to King Yan Zhu Di and the others, Chen Han headed west from Beiping and arrived at Xuanfu in a few days.

Xuanfu was located in Xuanhua, Zhangjiakou, Hebei Province, which was an important pass for the Tatars to move south.

During the Zhengtong period, the God of War Zhu Qizhen was captured by Wala. In order to go south from the pass of Xuanfu, he pushed the God of War out and called the door.

The geographical location here is very dangerous, almost all of it borders Tatar.

When Chen Han passed by, he saw that the people at the border did not show much resistance to trading with Tatars.

Even because Chen Han now encourages business, the business environment here is very good.

And ordinary people in Tatar also attach great importance to the market at the junction.

Chen Han even left Guancheng and went to the big market outside the city to check the situation.

Accompanying him was Zhao Huaide, the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu.

He was a scholar and military general, capable of both literary and martial arts.

This phenomenon was still very common in the Ming Dynasty.

The literati of the Ming Dynasty can be roughly divided into two types. One is the rotten type, who likes to form cliques for personal gain and behave like flies and dogs.

The other type is people like Zhao Huaide, who came from a serious imperial examination background and usually does not show much love for military affairs.

But once the border is in crisis, this kind of literati can often play a big role.

Of course, this does not mean that he can go into battle wearing armor and kill the enemy in the middle of the two armies, leaving corpses everywhere.

This is not a commander-in-chief, but a general.

Zhao Huaide was the commander-in-chief, so when he governed the Xuanfu, he paid more attention to regulating the relationship between the two ethnic groups.

He could see that between the two ethnic groups, the common people did not have that much time to care. Are the people above you fighting for life and death? The common people's wish is simply to survive.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Huaide encouraged the two sides to trade with each other.

This has really reduced a lot of conflicts.

Especially the recent policy of the imperial court is to encourage business. Zhao Huaide has seized this opportunity and vigorously promoted the construction of a large market.

Nowadays, large markets for mutual trade have been set up in Yongning, Jing'an, Mumapu, Yiangtian and other places.

"Mr. Zhao seems to have really implemented the imperial court's national policy!" Chen Han said.

Zhao Huaide is a tall man with a full beard.

He is truly the Zhong Kui of the Ming Dynasty.

It seems that the old man's admission to Jinshi did not value appearance as much as the Tang Dynasty did.

Perhaps it was because he had been immersed in an important border town like Xuanfu for a long time, but his temperament was quite carefree and bold. He really didn't look like a scholar, but more like a general who went into battle to kill the enemy.

"My lord, this is thanks to your national policy. In the past, we used to open the market for trade secretly, but now we can do it openly.

Although you are not a Bodhisattva, you really have a Bodhisattva heart.

Although the Ming Dynasty and the Tatars were fighting to the death, the people didn't care about it. Whether they were the people of the Ming Dynasty or the Tatars, they just wanted to live well. With such a big market, everyone bought and sold, and I don't know how harmonious it was.

To be honest, the soldiers in this town can often eat Tatar mutton! "

Zhao Huaide's expression was very chic.

"Mr. Zhao, how is the tax payment situation in a large market like yours?" Chen Han asked a very pointed question.

To be honest, if a border market like this could pay full tax, it would be really crazy.

Zhao Huaide did not hide anything: "My lord, I will tell you that we also want to pay taxes as you said, but the flow of border personnel is so large that it is impossible to have a centralized tax collection point. All we can do is to pay taxes according to the export regulations." Points are drawn based on the quantity of goods.

It is much lower than that in the mainland, but considering that the things in border trade are not valuable, there are not too many requirements. "

Chen Han roughly understood the situation: "You are right, it is really difficult to get a higher tax amount under such circumstances.

In this way, you write a report and give me the general situation of your promotion of the border trade market. When the time comes, I will give the report to His Highness the Crown Prince. If you want to do it, make it bigger.

I intend to build several border towns between Xuanfu and Datong, with hardened cement pavement and red brick construction. On the one hand, it will build several important bridgehead towns, and on the other hand, it will also facilitate your trade.

At that time, both Tatar merchants and Ming merchants will pay taxes to subsidize the military pay of border officers! "
