The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 255 Entering Beijing
Park Joo-won is different from the general North Korean nobles. He is a different kind. He doesn't pay much attention to officialdom, but pays attention to people's livelihood.

The Great Zhou Kingdom is the upper kingdom, and culture is the center of the world.

Whether it is Mongolia, Annan, North Korea, Japan and other countries, they are all influenced by their culture, and North Korea fully accepts it.

The livelihood of the people in the Great Zhou Dynasty is declining, but compared with North Korea, it is still far superior to North Korea.

Even in the Chongzhen period in history, domestic culture, economy, technology, agriculture, etc. are far from comparable to North Korea.

At least ten years after Chongzhen, the south is still like this.

This is also where Park Joo-won is confused.

After hundreds of years of learning everything, why is North Korea still so backward? Not only are the people in the country struggling to survive, but they can also be bullied abroad.

Japan is stronger than North Korea and has a large population, not to mention Dazhou.

When the barbarians were in Hetuala, they only had a population of more than [-] and tens of thousands of soldiers. How could they oppress North Korea?

Park Joo-won, who is still young, has ambitions in his heart.

He wanted to take a good look at Jinjiang Town and Shangguo, hoping to find a way to save North Korea.

But the young people are happy in their hearts, but the reality is cruel.

In order to reach the capital as soon as possible, the envoys traveled day and night, wading across rivers and overcoming difficulties.

First came to Zhenjiang.

The soldiers in Zhenjiang did not let them go because they were the envoys, and they still strictly inspected the items of the envoys.

Even the tributes used to pay tribute to the upper court are counted and recorded one by one.

Several high-ranking North Korean officials were exempted from body searches, and the rest, no matter who they were, were covered with clothes and their hips touched, and their luggage was stripped.

After a big movement, the emissary team was in a mess, and their suitcases and boxes were in a mess, and they scrambled to clean them up.

Although Park Zhouyuan is the younger brother of the envoy, he is not treated specially.

He didn't care much, but he felt very ashamed when Zhenjiang soldiers touched his crotch, especially when there were obviously many North Korean soldiers around him.

These military households with low status in North Korea looked at these nobles in long gowns who were proud of their heads in the country, and they looked embarrassed.

Although there was no smile on his face, there was a smile in his eyes.

If there were no these North Korean soldiers, Park Zhouyuan would not feel offended. It was because of these people that his face was flushed with shame and anger.

But there was nothing he could do, just this one incident made him discouraged.

Zhenjiang is an important military city, so the North Korean envoys were not entertained. The North Korean envoys either continued on their way or camped outside the city.

Seeing that it was still early, the messenger group chose to continue on their way.

As a result, it didn't take long before the spring rain fell suddenly.

The envoys hurriedly set up camp again, but although the tents were set up, the ground was full of mud and there was no place to stay.

There were mosquitoes in the wild again, and they dared not open the curtains of the tents, causing the heat in the tents to soar.

Park Joo-won is the younger brother of the envoy. He doesn't need to do any work. Although he is bored, he is more relaxed, unlike the handymen.

Not only do they have to take care of the goods, but they also have to find dry firewood and other things, and they are embarrassed in the rain.

The rain stopped and it got dark.

Day two.

The mission continued on its way.

Before arriving at Donggou, the scenery gradually changed from the wilderness to the desert oasis. Park Zhouyuan seemed to see a new world full of vitality.

Jinjiang Town is an important military city, and no one can enter, so they haven't seen the whole picture.

The field in front of me is flat and wide, with ditches everywhere, cultivated land everywhere, roots and sisters are messed up, and ox hoof ruts run across the grass.

What a leisurely and prosperous farm state.

Based on the signs in front of him, Pu Zhouyuan concluded that he was approaching Donggou.

Donggou is the first new town from Zhenjiang to Jinzhou.

Before the missions saw Donggou City, they saw the people grazing on the embankment, or flocks of sheep, or cattle.

Although she was dressed simply, even with patches all over her body, and her complexion was thin, she had an air of tranquility that was enviable.

The sheep and hogs fill the mountains, and the morning smoke is dazzling.

Park Zhouyuan subconsciously thought of this poem.

It is said that Jinjiang Town is newly established, and there are wars every year, and the people are miserable. What he saw was a peaceful and peaceful scene.

This Donggou new city alone far surpasses all parts of North Korea.

Because of the letter of credence of the lord of North Korea and the inspection of Dongjiang Town to release the cultural survey, Donggou sent envoys into the city.

The envoy and the deputy envoy communicated with the officials of Donggou, while Park Zhouyuan went on a tour in the city.

There are wooden houses, stone houses, and even brick houses.

The gates are neat, the street style is straight, the two edges are straight, and the walls are built with bricks and woods. Although they are not extravagant, they are new and clean.

Although the common people are not rich, they occasionally talk and laugh.

Jinjiang Town has only been established for a few years, and it has been fighting year after year. This is the case in Donggou, so what about the richer Jinzhou?

North Korea has been established for hundreds of years, but the people's livelihood is not as good as that of Jinjiang Town.

Pu Zhouyuan suddenly felt depressed, lost the intention of visiting, wanted to go back to rest, but his heart was burning hot.

When he arrived at the accommodation, he planned to sleep in the same bed as others, but his brother took care of him and asked the handyman to squeeze in, and arranged a private room for him.

Park Zhouyuan took it for granted. After eating with his elder brother, he washed himself in the towel copper basin sent by the handyman, and then lay on the bed.

Sit up suddenly.

"This is also jealousy."

I can't help but sigh, I have a weak heart, I am proud of it, I don't want to just enter Jinjiang Town, and I can't see anything more than a hundred, so I am so envious and jealous.

He couldn't fall asleep anymore, he stood in the east of the room with his coat on, and it took him a long time to turn around.

The territory of North Korea is several times and ten times larger than that of Jinjiang Town, and there are millions of people.

There are hundreds of years of foundation.

But he knew what was going on in North Korea.

Crowds of people, naked, begging along the village empty-handed, have no property, and only bones are left everywhere.

Day two.

He suppressed the jealousy in his heart, and saw the details of the people in Donggou City.

Looking around at the houses, they are all neat and orderly, and there is nothing that can be done to make up the gaps, and there is nothing in the shape of being tired and messy.

Although the cattle pens are fenced with veins, they are all sparse and straight.The firewood piles for laying hemorrhoids are also exquisite and picturesque.

There is also a drinking well in Donggou City, which is covered with millstones, pierced on both sides, and has no containers, so it prevents people from drowning and keeps dust away.

Also, water is inherently yin, so the water is used to cover the yang and nourish the body.

The manhole cover is equipped with a pulley guard, with double ridges drooping, and willows are formed into a willow. It is shaped like a fox and deep.

There is no such thing in North Korea, but the family of a big family in Seoul is like this, and it turned out to be learning from the previous country.

It's a pity that he didn't promote it to the common people's homes, but he thought about how the two classes of honorable officials would spend so much effort, so he sighed even more.

Even the behavior of the people who fetched water surprised him greatly.

Without him.

Carry on pole.

This approach shocked him.

Although the family of a large family in Seoul has this well, there is no such convenient method.

Korean people often use utensils to fetch water and carry them on their backs, which not only easily wets their clothes, but also requires careful avoidance in narrow road gaps and alleys, which takes more effort.

A shoulder pole opened the eyes of Park Zhouyuan, who was after the second class of nobles.

Shangguo.

That's the weather.

People all think that Shangguo is called Shangguo because of its large population and large area, and it spreads culture by force.

However, the advanced culture is spontaneously learned from top to bottom by the backward culture.

Shangguo is the envy of countries like North Korea, even if it is a variety of people.

A shoulder pole.

Among the common people of Shangguo, it is a common thing.

If someone told the people of Shangguo that this thing is great profit, that person would probably be out of breath with laughter.

But it is true.

Among the noble children of North Korea, the shoulder pole is indeed an exciting thing and a method worth learning.

The mission finally left Donggou.

Then Bodhisattva Temple, Da Xun, Xiao Xun, Dongwa, Xiwa... ten wells...

Park Joo-won seemed to have come to a world full of treasures.

Look everywhere, touch everywhere.

They were all objects that shocked him.

Pu Zhouyuan was dazzled by the large-scale fortifications such as the city wall and water conservancy of Jinjiang Town, as well as the various agricultural tools and farming methods.

Along the way, he has transcribed several books, because he thinks they are worth learning.

The "prosperity" and "advancement" of Jinjiang Town made him turn from depressed to excited, with mixed feelings.

There are still people in the two classes of nobles in the country who look down on Jinjiang Town, and often talk about Jinjiang Town's hardships and the need for North Korean support.

But North Korea is in an ignorant and backward environment full of disadvantages, which makes Park Zhouyuan look at the things he recorded along the way with complicated eyes.

He didn't know if his records would be recognized after he returned to China.

Everyone's consciousness is different.

Just like Liu Xingzuo grew up in the barbarians, but when he saw the barbarians massacre the Han people, he awakened nationalism.

This second class of low-ranking ministers, also because of what he saw and heard, was under the impact of intense emotions, and he felt a strong patriotic feeling in his heart.

What was different from him was that what his elder brother had seen and heard made him feel that Jin Jiangzhen was indeed as powerful as the rumors said, and he deserved to please him.

If Ping Liaohou can value himself, it will be of great help to his family's future.

In short, the arduous journey of the North Korean mission finally arrived in Jinzhou.

When Pu Mingyuan saw Marquis Ping Liao, he was extremely respectful and regarded himself as a subordinate, not daring to act like a messenger.

Even the king of the country has made friends with each other, married each other, and his own family is in decline, so what right does he have to show off.

Tang Qing'an looked gentle, expressing that the other party had worked hard all the way.

After receiving the gift list, he took a few glances at it. Compared to him personally, it was indeed quite rich, but compared to the millions of people in Jinjiang Town, it was nothing.

So I didn't take it to heart.

What he valued was the North Korean leader's promise of nearly a million shi of aid this year, and even hundreds of thousands of shi each year.

This is what is useful to Jinjiang Town.

He doesn't pay attention to the mere gift list, no matter how rich and rich it is.

"I heard that Brother Ling is very talented and has recorded a lot of handwriting about Jinjiang Town. May I have a look?"

Pu Zhouyuan's demeanor along the way was noticed by others, so he reported it in advance.

After Tang Qing'an learned about it, although he felt that there was nothing that could not be seen as confidential in the east coast, he still brought it up to be cautious.

How dare Pu Mingyuan refuse, without waiting for his reply, the guards of the Jiedu Mansion went out to find Pu Zhouyuan's notes.

After sending it to the general, Pu Mingyuan was restless, for fear that his younger brother would record something disrespectful.

The Jiedu Envoy of Shangchao silently looked at his younger brother's handwriting. He was sitting on a stool, his head drenched in sweat.

Tang Qing'an finally finished watching.

Sigh inwardly.

He never expected that this famous North Korean notebook was born in his Jinjiang town.

There is nothing in it.

It's just the living habits of the Han people, things like that.

However, all the excitement and emotion of the son of the North Korean minister were recorded.

This is why the culture of the Han nationality became the foundation of Eastern culture.

Tang Qing'an asked the guard to return the note.

Although this note is good, it's a pity that the two classes of nobles in North Korea don't pay attention to it.

Because they have no people in their hearts.

Liangban Xungui does not approve or promote it, and this notebook is nothing more than a useless book.

North Korea has sent missions to Beijing for hundreds of years, but they have not seen the good things they have seen and heard.

"Ambassador Park, I hope that after you go to Beijing, you can explain a little more about Jinjiang Town to the court. If you succeed, I will host a banquet in person to welcome you."

Pu Mingyuan got up quickly, very excited.
