The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 138 The Xue Family
"A Korean came to visit. He said he was Lin Zhong's nephew, named Lin Zhiyuan."

Hearing the servant's words, Xie Youcheng looked at Tao Jie blankly. He had never heard of such a character, so he didn't know Tao Jie was clear.

"Who is Lin Zhong?"

"Lin Zhong is the great eunuch next to the new North Korean king, and an old man who has been around the North Korean king since he was a child, and he has won his trust."

Tao Jie smiled deeply.

"Brother Tao, why are you laughing?"

"Brother Xie, why bother to ask what you know!"

"Hahaha."

The two smiled at each other.

The general is busy, so he talks about big things.And these people, just talk about some trivial matters for the general.

Lin Dingwa has been timid since entering the door.

As the person representing the lord of North Korea, Tao Jie did not expect to behave so unbearably. Xie Youcheng didn't care, and invited him to sit down.

Lin Dingwa's ancestors were ordinary farmers for generations, otherwise his uncle would not have been castrated to serve Lingyang Lord because of poverty.

Even if there is a slight relationship, or if you can borrow some money to bribe, you can go to the palace to do business, instead of being assigned to Lingyang Jun's mansion.

At that time, no one could have imagined that Lord Lingyang would become the king of North Korea. Lord Lingyang's father and brother were killed by Li Hui one after another, and Lord Lingyang was also in danger.

Even the country people said that their uncle was finished.

Time is also life.

Lin Dingwa was suddenly called to Seoul by her uncle, named Lin Zhiyuan, he was excited and frightened at the same time, dealing with the gentlemen, what should he say?

How can we not be underestimated?Will the lofty master look down on him?I was even more worried that I would mess up what my uncle told me.

Tao Jie showed contempt on his face, and he didn't bother to pay attention to this fool. This was also the reason why he was inferior to Xie Youcheng despite his talent.

Lin Dingwa didn't understand, but she knew how to observe the expressions of the old men, and found that Tao Jie showed the same expression as the previous high-ranking old men.

"Pfft."

Lin Dingwa actually knelt down.

"Ann, the two elders, I... I am Lin Dingwa."

Excited, he said his original name.

"Hey, how can this be, please get up quickly." Xie Youcheng got up quickly and helped him up himself.

He patted the ashes off his body, pulled him to sit down again, and handed him tea kindly.

Lin Dingwa was very moved.

The old man in Shang Dynasty is really kind to people.

Tao Jie lowered his head and suppressed a smile, otherwise, he was afraid of laughing out loud.

After clearing his background, Xie Youcheng personally sent him back to report to his uncle full of joy.

"A piece of green cloth costs three cents a piece, a piece of white cloth costs two cents a piece, five shovels cost a penny a piece of silver, rice a tael a stone, a live chicken two cents a piece of silver, sheep... cattle six taels a head."

Lin Zhong looked at his nephew.

The price set is outrageous, and the quantity is also outrageous. North Korea is selling at a loss.

For example, farming cattle, due to the war in North Korea 30 years ago, there was a serious shortage of farming cattle, and the price was as high as 16 taels, but now it has only fallen back to [-] taels.

"The country is safe and sound, so is there still a shortage of cattle?"

"Mr. Xie said that there is a big gap in Jinzhou's need for start-ups. Although there are only eight taels of cows in Beijing on the upper side, it is more expensive in the south, and it takes more than ten taels. The main reason is that it is difficult to meet the needs of Jinzhou, and there is no market for prices. , That’s why I ask our country for help.”

Seeing the triumphant nephew, Lin Zhong was helpless. He didn't plan how well his nephew could handle things at first, but it was just a mouthpiece for both sides.

But I didn't expect him to be so rough.

"One thousand cows a year is enough. Why is there so much ginseng and the price is so low? It's only five cents a catty."

Seeing that his nephew couldn't explain why, Li Zhong was a little annoyed.

"Uncle, this number."

Lin Dingyuan extended a slap in a mysterious way.

Lin Zhong was speechless.

"The 500 taels will send you away?"

"5000 taels, uncle."

Lin Dingyuan's exaggerated tone was full of complacency.

"Mr. Xie said, it's 5000 taels per year, and he...he also said." Lin Dingyuan was a little embarrassed to say.

5000 two.

Lin Zhong's breathing also began to be heavy. This old eunuch has not had a good life since he was transferred to Lingyang Jun's residence.

At the most dangerous time, the people around Lord Lingyang Jun ran away. He was a poor man, and he could still eat in the mansion, so he stayed in the mansion.

This move moved Lord Lingyang to death, and he regarded Lin Zhong as a loyal servant, so he named him Lin Zhong.

"What else did you say?"

"It is said that if the lord of North Korea needs it, he can transfer [-] elite soldiers from Zhenjiang to station outside Seoul, waiting for the lord to dispatch him at any time.

He also said... He also said that he must use trusted personnel, and recommended his nephew to be the chief general of the Zhenjiang army, and the generals of the previous court to be his nephew's deputy general. "

That's it.

Lin Zhong knew what the Lord was worried about best, and he gave his nephew a future with 5000 taels a year.

As expected, Shang Dynasty is Shang Dynasty, and it has always been generous to North Korea.

Lin Zhong immediately went to see the master.

Hearing this, Li Zhen was quite unhappy.

General Jinzhou's appetite is too great, and the price set simply makes North Korea unprofitable and loss-making business.

When he finally heard that the five hundred Zhenjiang elite soldiers could still be led by his own people, Li Zhen frowned.

Historically, in the fourth year of Tianqi, there was a severe drought in North Korea, unable to support Dongjiang Town's military pay, and Mao Wenlong scattered soldiers in North Korea to beg for food from North Korean households.

Not only did he not get angrily reprimanded by the North Korean leader, but he also urged the Bibian Secretary, and sent Zheng Douyuan, the payment envoy, to various places to urge the financing.

According to the historical records of North Korea, there was no rain since spring, and Kansai was the worst. The two wheats withered, the people ate vegetables and roots, and many people died of starvation.

In the fifth and sixth years of the apocalypse... Mao Wenlong mobilized his own troops and horses many times to collect food from Linghan Mountain City and other places.

The North Korean ministers were dissatisfied a lot, and Li Zhen supported Mao Wenlong as always.

One of the factors is that Li Jing was promoted to power, and domestic factions were in power. He wanted to win over Mao Wenlong, who had a clean background in North Korea, to balance the domestic factions.

In those few years, the troops of Dongjiang town could be seen everywhere in North Korea.

At the most serious time, Mao Wenlong ordered [-] generals, each leading [-] people, and stationed in Yichuan, Guoshan, Dingzhou, and Jiashan.

Sixty thousand troops are stationed in North Korea, and the North Korean leader can feel at ease.

"five hundred."

Li Jing pondered for a moment, and immediately made up his mind.

The upper dynasty has always shown goodwill to the vassal states, from the pre-Ming to the present for hundreds of years, unlike Japan and the barbarians such ambitious countries.

For the Zhenjiang soldiers who came from the upper court, Li Zhen was very worried, but what was worried was his own country's army, and he was even more worried about the palace guards.

Li Xingli, the general who was in charge of training the defense of Seoul, thought of this person, and Li Zhen felt restless, often waking up from his dreams, dreaming that this person was walking through the palace.

Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with General Jinzhou's statement, he was still respectful to himself when he came to the pilgrimage to see him.

"Go and tell General Jinzhou that there are so many remnants of evil in Guanghai, and I am deeply disturbed. I ask General Jinzhou to send a thousand elite soldiers to be stationed in Seoul. I am deeply grateful."

"My lord is sagely wise, if soldiers from the previous dynasty enter our country, they will not harm my lord, but they will listen to my lord's orders.

The training general Li Xingli, I found out that he has recently promoted many of his clansmen, and now the generals in the army stationed in Seoul are all obedient to him.

The servant girl is really worried that he will be bad for my lord. "

Lin Zhongzhong said sincerely.

Li Jing didn't have any cronies around him. When his father was still there, there were still some people available, and they were all cleaned up after his father was killed.

When his eldest brother was killed, no one dared to involve him anymore, fearing being involved, during those years of being imprisoned in disguise, only this old eunuch was by his side to accompany him.

So even if he became the leader of North Korea, Li Zhen didn't know who to trust.

As for the leaders of various factions, Jin Yan, Li Gui and others, he never trusted them because of the lessons learned from the past.

"I have already met your nephew, although his behavior is rough, he is very loyal, and I am willing to use him just waiting.

Just let him be the chief general of the Zhenjiang army, and you have to explain to him well, let him learn more and see more, so that he can be on his own as soon as possible. "

Sure enough, when it was learned that the lord of the country had asked Zhenjiang soldiers to enter Seoul, all the officials in Seoul began to object.

Li Jing will give in on other things.

For example, they demanded that Li Erzhan be cut in half. With such behavior, there was no room for relaxation between himself and the Great Northern faction.

For example, he is not allowed to deal with Guanghai Jun Li Hun easily.

For example, promote the ministers of various factions, promote the generals of various places...

On the matter of transferring Zhenjiang soldiers into Seoul, Li Jing never let go, and did not intend to back down.

When a thousand Zhenjiang soldiers entered Seoul, there was no chance of change, and everyone suppressed their dissatisfaction.

Officials from various factions in North Korea quietly poured into Zhenjiang.

"North Korea is newly established and needs to be stabilized, whether it is Mr. Kim, Mr. Li, or Mr. Shin.

They are all great sages of North Korea, and they should be respected. The lord of North Korea should use these great sages, and entrust the state affairs to the sages, and everything will be peaceful.

The former king of North Korea had evil intentions, he was at both ends of the snake, he was building a lot, and the people were in dire straits, it was really abhorrent.

The new lord of North Korea has his heart in mind, and his heart is towards us. He is very righteous and courteous. Such a lord of North Korea is a wise minister and virtuous, and there should be great rule. "

With the guarantee of General Jinzhou, various factions in North Korea also began to focus on their own territory and compete for official positions.

At this point, the North Korean people are in full swing, and everyone from top to bottom is serious about governing North Korea. In the future, North Korea will usher in the most.

In the hundreds of years of Lee's Joseon Dynasty, the period of rebellion and civil unrest was the most.

It doesn't matter to Tang Qing'an, the more chaos the better, the more chaos the North Korean ruler will ask for himself.

In fact, Li Zhen was not wrong. Compared with the previous North Korean king, he was very wise, and the later Korean history books also spoke positively of him.

The only fault is that he has no foundation.

Being suddenly supported to ascend to the throne, while he is trying his best to deal with the shortcomings of North Korea and develop the economy, it will affect the interests of the rest of the people.

So from time to time, some people rebelled under the banner of other clansmen, and in the end he continued continuously.

Tang Qing'an looked towards North Korea in the east with a smile.

Why do you firmly support Li Ji, why do you put so much thought into North Korea, and even send the most important Jinzhou eyes and ears to North Korea for more than half a year.

Without him.

Standing on the shoulders of predecessors, there is a general trend that can be borrowed.

"Li Chengxian, the Hundred Islands of Korea will be handed over to you. I hope that 50 mu of fertile land can be reclaimed before planting next year."

It turned out that Li Chengxian, the Guanliangtong judge of Jinzhou, nodded seriously.

His mind is still a little fuzzy.

How did the general get so many benefits in North Korea so easily?I really don't understand!
"Juniper."

Tang Qing'an looked at the shopkeeper of the Xue family with a smile.
