On the Wuwei boat, Mr. Zhao was stunned: "Jeju City, is this suitable?"
"What's inappropriate? Providing anchorages and supplies for the Chinese navy is the obligation of the civil and military forces of the country." Pu Chengxing rubbed his hands and said flatteringly.
"Uh" Zhao Haoxin said, did the other party regard him as an official soldier? After thinking for a while, he said: "We are not official soldiers, we are imperial merchants, transporting grain for the imperial court"
This is true. After all, the fleet is responsible for transporting grain, and Emperor Longqing still has a stake in the future shipping company.
"Transporting grain by sea?" Pu Chengxing popped up a hot topic in the capital.
"Oh? You know that too?" Mr. Zhao glanced at Pu Chengxing in surprise. He didn't expect that this guy was quite well-informed.
"I pay tribute three times a year, and my relationship with the Celestial Dynasty is closer than that of any vassal." Pu Chengxing said proudly: "Most of the monthly newspapers in our court introduce the latest trends of the Celestial Dynasty, and only half of them are introduced. It¡¯s our own business¡¡±
"You are spying on me." Zhao Hao said, fanning his straw hat.
"No, no, no, this is all the news I saw in the public newspaper when I was an overseas student in the Imperial College. I admire the Celestial Empire from the bottom of my heart, want to follow the pace of the Celestial Empire, and dare not fall behind even a step, so I Spontaneously spread the news to the country." Pu Chengxing hurriedly explained: "I am loyal to the Celestial Empire, and I will never deliberately spy on you, let alone have any malicious intentions!"
"Hmm." Zhao Hao actually just said casually. He was quite relieved about Li Chaoren. Because the foundation of the Li Dynasty's founding of the country was the principle of "big things".
The so-called "seriousness" refers to the saying that "big countries must obey the orders of big countries, and the governments of big countries must not ignore things." It is a way of survival for small countries when facing big countries.
The Korean peninsula has been subject to the Central Plains Dynasty for thousands of years. Regardless of Silla, Goryeo or Lee's Korea, they all adopted varying degrees of "serious" policies towards the Central Plains Dynasty.
But both Silla and Goryeo had conflicts with the Central Plains dynasty. The Goryeo Dynasty even used titles such as "Emperor" and "Imperial City". Obviously, "big things" at that time were more of a self-protection technique in the face of powerful forces.
However, as Chinese civilization and Confucian culture have become deeply rooted in the Korean Peninsula, the concept of "big things" has also taken root here. Especially after the Yuan Dynasty conquered Goryeo, Goryeo had to cancel all arrogance, strictly implement the vassal system, and completely integrate into the central dynasty's ruling system.
By the founding of the Li Dynasty, this kind of big thinking reached its peak.
As we all know, the Li Dynasty took the opportunity of the return of troops from Waihua Island to establish the country. In the 21st year of Hongwu, the Goryeo Dynasty planned the Northern Expedition to the Ming Dynasty. When General Li Chenggui led his army to Weihua Island in the Yalu River, he launched a mutiny and returned to the army. The reason for this is "the way to protect the country is to use small things to make big things", and the Northern Expedition to the Ming Dynasty went against the principle of big things. As the saying goes, "To attack a big country suddenly without waiting for orders is not a good thing for the clan and the people."
This claim is legal and orthodox on the Korean peninsula, and has received widespread support from Goryeo subjects. As a result, Li Chenggui seized the power of Goryeo without bloodshed, replaced Goryeo in the 25th year of Hongwu, and established the Joseon Dynasty. Throughout the entire process of founding the country, the Ming flag was held high, and Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty was asked to grant the country the title of "Youming Korea".
It can be said that Lee's North Korea itself was established on the basis of majoritarianism. Therefore, if they have any bad intentions against Ming Dynasty, they will first directly shake the foundation of their rule.
Therefore, after the founding and consolidation of the Li Dynasty, he even considered "big things" from the bottom of his heart. Among the two ministers of the Li Dynasty, whoever had a close relationship with the Celestial Dynasty had the most power. If the king loses his favor in heaven, his throne will not be preserved. Therefore, they strive to flatter the Ming Dynasty, and there are even people who often express their wish to annex the entire country to China. It was just that Ming Dynasty disliked the large number of thalassemia people in the peninsula and did not want to be a drag, so he often refused.
Two hundred years have passed, and this kind of "seriousness" has become a behavioral pattern that is deeply rooted in the blood of the people of the Li Dynasty. Therefore, Pu Chengxing's words and deeds do not have any psychological burden, but they feel that they should be like this. As for Zhao Hao, he was more or less influenced by later generations, which was a bit rare and strange.

Park Cheng-seong protected smuggling, and he was smuggling in the Bohai Bay adjacent to Gyeonggi Province. Of course, he must always pay attention to the political trends of the Ming Dynasty to avoid hitting the muzzle of the Chinese government's severe crackdown.
Recently, he has provoked China's grain transport fleet again, so naturally he pays more attention to China's Tangbao. Therefore, he had long guessed that what he had provoked was not the Chinese officials and soldiers, but the Jiangnan Group that had recently stirred up the "Caohai Debate" in the Chinese court.
The Tang newspaper made it very clear that Jiangnan Group has tried shipping several times and all have been successful. Therefore, he ended up in a draw with the Cao Yun faction in the court discussion.
As the saying goes, ¡®The more you read the People¡¯s Daily, the faster your political level will rise¡¯. Pu Chengxing has been studying the Damingtang Daily for several years, and naturally,Understand the weight of these few sentences.
How many years has the Water Transport Group been working in Daming? How strong is it? Anyway, he thought he was invincible, otherwise he would not have deposited the stolen money into the "Hengtongji" affiliated to the Water Transport Group.
" And Jiangnan Group can actually tie with the Water Transport Group, which is enough to show how terrible they are.
Park Cheng-sung also inquired about the situation of Jiangnan Group with maritime merchants in Jeju City. Those maritime merchants were all well-informed and told him that the Jiangnan Group had emerged from Nanzhi, with supporters all over the government and the public. It had a close relationship with the eldest princess of the Celestial Dynasty and was deeply trusted by His Majesty the Emperor.
Knowing that he might have provoked such a terrible enemy, Park Cheng-sung was scared out of his wits.
But when he discovered that his life was still useful to the Jiangnan Group, his thoughts suddenly became confused. He knew this was the greatest opportunity of his life. As long as you can become the dog of the Jiangnan Group, what kind of bullshit observer is that? What kind of leader is that? Who dares to lift a finger? Even the king has to pay for it!
Thinking of this, Park Cheng-sung just wanted to dedicate the entire North Korea to the Chinese, but it was a pity that he was not that capable.
Just when he was feeling weak, he discovered that Zhao Hao was actually interested in Jeju Island, and he became completely energetic. This is within his capabilities!
Pu Chengxing explained the mentality of the monarchs and ministers in this dynasty with spittle, and finally said: "As long as the Lord of Heaven opens his mouth, they cannot refuse, otherwise it will be a big violation and they will be attacked by political opponents. It may not be possible for the whole family to come." Raise horses. So no one would take such a big risk and start a dispute with the Celestial Empire over an enclave where prisoners are exiled."
After a pause, he added: "Of course, if you can make a decent claim, this matter will be smoother."
"This is simple." Zhao Hao smiled and said: "I will ask the Ministry of Household Affairs to issue a document instructing you to provide necessary convenience for grain and sea transportation."
"That's enough, that's enough." Pu Chengxing said with a flattering smile: "This kind of vague order is the best, it can be done cheaply."
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????"The decree is not urgent, please first ask the young master's fleet to enter the harbor to rest, a fair-blooded woman, do your best to be filial!"
"So generous?" Mr. Zhao deliberately teased him: "I have a hundred ships and tens of thousands of people. Can you also entertain them?"
"Uh" Pu Chengxing felt guilty for a while. There were only more than 10,000 people in Jeju City. How could such a large fleet be provided?
But the principle of ¡®measure Tamluo¡¯s material resources and gain the favor of the prince¡¯ cannot be shaken! Pu Chengxing hurriedly gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, of course. It's just that Tamna is sparsely populated, and I'm afraid Jeju City alone won't be able to provide adequate hospitality. Can you please invite some boats to go to Daejing and Jeongui counties for food? That's okay. The hospitality should be more attentive Smecta"
Under tension, his Ming Dynasty Mandarin even brought out the Korean dialect
"Hahaha!" Mr. Zhao laughed and said, "Let's forget it this time. The harassment from the other side without invitation is too much. You should make preparations when you go back and then make a stop."
"Young master is so considerate!" Pu Chengxing also breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Then let me prepare some fresh fruits, vegetables, meat and drinks for the fleet. Please don't refuse this offer again!"
"Well, yes." Mr. Zhao nodded with a smile: "But forget about drinking and beauties, the fleet is on a mission."
"Young Master is really strict with his subordinates, I admire him!" Pu Chengxing regretted in his heart. Without wine and sex to pave the way, it would be difficult to get closer.
"By the way, I am traveling around the island and I lack a guide" But I heard Master Zhao say again.
"No one knows Tamna Island better than the villain." Pu Chengxing immediately said attentively: "I wonder if it is an honor to accompany the young master on a trip?"
"Haha, okay, then I'll trouble you to ask Pu Youshi to be a high-class escort." Zhao Hao smiled and nodded.
Pu Chengxing confessed his crime and got off the ship first. He went to his sword boat and ordered Pu Bocheng to go back and order the naval camp to lift the war readiness. He then informed Li Mu that the matter had been resolved and asked him to help raise more labor supplies.
"You must not tell Ambassador Li where to send him." Ambassador Pu You was full of energy and fighting spirit, as if he was a different person. "Just send him to the camp, and then you send him to Gap Island."
"Understood." Pu Bucheng knew that his master had gotten a blessing in disguise and hooked up with the Lord of the Celestial Dynasty. He also became excited and said: "I promise to plunder the city to supply the Celestial Dynasty's fleet!"
"Well, very good." Pu Chengxing nodded with satisfaction and said: "Send half of the prepared labor supplies. I will accompany the Chinese prince to visit Tamna Island."
"My lord is so clever!" Pu Bucheng hurriedly flattered him and said, "You can actually calm the anger of the Celestial Lords and please them."
"Nothing else, just sincerity." Pu Chengxing smiled reservedly, unable to conceal his pride.

On the Wuwei boat, Zhao Hao looked down at Pu Chengxing, who was shaking his head, and asked Jin Ke: "Do you think this is better, or Dajing County?"
"Each has its own merits." Jin Ke thought for a while and said: "This place is more prosperous, easier to carry out commerce, the seaport is better, and supplies are more convenient. But on the contrary, this place deviates from our main waterway, and the connection with the Li Dynasty's homeland is too It¡¯s tight and not as easy to control as Dajing County.¡± (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)??, be sincere and sincere.
