Chapter 848 Please get on the pirate ship
It was completely beyond Yin Guan's expectations. When he walked day and night for several days and finally arrived at Busan Pu, which was occupied by the "Song gang", he saw the prosperous scene of the people's happiness and harmony between scholars and merchants.
The small "village city" of Busan Pu is full of all kinds of items, most of which are transported from nearby villages, including yellow rice, kimchi, and expensive cured meat. They are piled up like mountains. There are also soldiers from Busan Pu who are guarding each other, and the soldiers who look at it are not right, and they are actually erect and full of energy.
What's going on? Have you eaten a full meal? No, how could the ordinary soldiers of the Great Goryeo Kingdom eat enough? Could it be that the tax paid by Weizhou is too small...
Yin Guan came in casual clothes, but the soldiers patrolling and guarding the "village city" still recognized him as an official at a glance. He was riding a tall horse and a entourage riding a horse! Moreover, the followers were all carrying bows and arrows and straight knives, and they knew they were the soldiers of the noble family at a glance.
"This official!" A soldier who looked very thin but looked much better stopped Yin Guan, "Are you here to visit Mr. Daruji and Mr. Su of Song State in Busan Pu?"
How did the great scholar become great scholars? They should be Song gangs!
Yin Guan was silent and asked the mansion: "Is Li Zhoumu from Ueju in Busan Pu?"
"Here," replied the military soldier, "Your official, you are a friend of the governor of the state."
"Ah," Yin Guan nodded, "Where is Li Zhoumu?"
"On Jueying Island," the military soldier replied, "The Zhou Mu brought a thousand or hundreds of people to Jueying Island to help the great scholars from Song State build a school."
What! Li Rulin, the governor of Weizhou, took people to help Song Kou repair the house. Is he surrendering to the enemy?
Seeing Yin Guan's expression, the soldier smiled and explained, "You don't know, the Song people on Jueying Island are so good. Seeing that our soldiers are not full, they took out hundreds of silk for Lizhoumu to exchange for yellow rice, kimchi and salted fish for us... We now have two meals of yellow rice and kimchi a day, and we can eat it openly, and we can also eat Danluo salted fish."
Isn’t it just some yellow rice, kimchi and salted fish? Is it just a bribe of you, the soldiers of the Great Korean palace? Do you deserve the favor of the king like this?
Yin Guan was really angry and disappointed. However, he would not care too much about a villain. At that time, he took his entourage through the city and went to the pier in Busanpu. He found a small sampan of the Goryeo Navy Army, and asked another entourage to make an official announcement. Then he crossed the sea to Jueying Island in this small boat.
Jueying Island is a hilly island, not an ideal commercial center. It is just that the area near the beach is relatively flat on the east side of the island, and there are also some docks for fishing boats to dock nearby.
When Yin Guan arrived, the area had become a huge construction site. The flat ground used to build the city had been cleared out. The workers recruited from Weizhou were eating rice and broth. The broth was very fragrant, and it should have been filled with enough ingredients. It floated into Yin Guan's nose, which made this important official of the Goryeo Kingdom swallow his saliva unconsciously.
In addition to the Koreans who were eating broth and rice, Yin Guan also saw many Song people wearing silk clothes and holding unknown measuring tools in their hands. While measuring on the newly-leveled land, they sprinkled lime powder and sprinkled straight white lines.
There are also many building materials that are being transported by Korean workers from the Song Dynasty merchant ship docked on the pier. The large bags of red bricks and stones were neatly arranged, as if they were cut by a knife and an axe.
In addition, there were also teams who were pulling wood in nearby hills, shouting horns and pushing trumpets filled with wood, coming and going, which was very lively. Of course, the strong workers who worked were all the people of Goryeo. They were all happy, and they looked much happier than when they were serving the corvee service for King Yong.
Needless to say, these Koreans must have taken the money from the Song people... Yin Guan sighed and thought: Copper coins are indeed something that ruins people's hearts. After taking the money, I don't know what loyalty is. When I return to Xijing, I must report to the king that it is better to barter them in the future!
There are Jingdong Maritime Mansions on the dock, and they are all from the Ji family businessmen who come from the sea. They have sharp eyes and have already come to meet them at this time. One of them can speak Goryeo, and then bowed and asked, "Is this official here to visit my official Ji on the island?"
Yin Guan's entourage took out a famous post and handed it to the Ji family's front and back journey. "The head of the family is Mr. Tongxuan from the Yin family of Poping, and came to the island to visit Mr. Ji and Mr. Su."
...
"I don't know if Yin Dasan is here, I will be in a position to welcome you. I will forgive you for your crimes and forgive you for your crimes."
"I have heard of Yin Dasan's name for a long time. I finally saw it today, and it's not a waste of my trip."
"Yin Dasan, you didn't let the officials inform you in advance, so you can arrange for the reception..."
In a temple that had been cleared a long time ago, Yin Guan finally met Ji Yi and Su Shi, as well as Li Rulin, the governor of Goryeo Weizhou.
Li Rulin has now become close friends with Ji Yi and Su Shi. He also opened a convenient door for the construction of Jueying Island and helped recruit a large number of workers. He thought that the king was far away from the mountains of Ukzhou, but the court would not know at all. But he never expected that the political affairs officer Yin Guan would visit in a condom... This is somewhat troublesome! The king has issued an order not to allow the Goryeo people to go to Jueying Island!
"Li Zhoumu," Yin Guan glanced at Li Rulin and just smiled, "I have something to say to the two visitors from Song State, you should go back to Busanpu first."
Li Rulin dared not disobey Yin Guan's orders, so he could only leave with his tail. Yin Guan sighed and looked at Su Shi, who was still familiar with him with gloomy eyes. "Mr. Zhongnan, you came to my Goryeo from thousands of miles away, first took Danluo and then took Jueying. What is your intention?"
Su Shi glanced at Ji Yi. Ji Yi was the protagonist in today's negotiation!
Wu Haogu gave such an important thing to Ji Yi, who had had a relationship with him, just to let Ji Yi accept a letter of fame.
Everyone did the bad things of colonial invasion together. The court would pursue them in the future, but no one ran away!
Ji Yi smiled, picked up the tea soup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "I heard that you, Goryeo, are training troops in the country now, wanting to be defeated by the Laidian?"
"That's natural!" Yin Guan said.
"But you can't beat the Jurchen..." Ji Yi shook her head and said, "Why do you have to lose, why can't you get along with the Jurchen endlessly?"
"This is not your Song Dynasty business, right?" Yin Guan asked again with a guilty look.
To be honest, he didn't know if the Song Dynasty and the Jurchens colluded. If so, the trouble in Goryeo would be great!
"You kings just want to open up the territory and promote their national prestige." Ji Yi said, "But I didn't expect that the Jurchens were so powerful. They defeated tens of thousands of troops in Goryeo twice with just a few hundred people. It was really embarrassing!"
"Nonsense!" Yin Guan said seriously, "There are obviously thousands of people in the Jurchen army!"
Ji Yi waved his hand and said with a smile: "Yin Dasan, do you really think that the emperor has only made a bet on your Goryeo Kingdom? Tell you the truth. The two battles of Helandian, including the Battle of Pidenshui, which was directed by Yin Dasan, all of our military generals came to watch the formation."
"You..." Yin Guan's face turned dark after Ji Yi's words.
Ji Yi continued: "According to the report of the generals of the observation army sent by our dynasty, your Goryeo army is actually okay... It is worse than the Western thieves, and definitely not as good as the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty. But it is not without a place to use its skills, but it is just that the Northern Expedition is a mistake. You can't win those people! If you insist on fighting the third Battle of Helan, you are afraid that the mistake of Sui Yang's destruction of the country will reappear in Goryeo."
Yin Guan frowned, as if he had already heard something out of the way.
"Ji Sambo, do you mean that my elite soldiers from Da Goryeo used the wrong place?"
Ji Yi smiled, "Is it because there are weak enemies who can be bullied to attack, but I want to challenge the invincible Jurchens. Isn't it because I used the wrong place?"
"The weak enemy is..."
"Of course it's Japan!" Ji Yi smiled, "Who else can you Goryeo people bully you? Should you fight against Liao?"
What Ji Yi said to Yin Guan now was not explained by Wu Haogu. However, a good envoy these days must dare to take his own initiative! Because there is no communication method to maintain timely contact with the country, if you have to ask for instructions in everything, it will be difficult to do the job. Especially after a while, Ji Yi had to go to the Great Food Kingdom. If he didn't have any idea, it would be bad.
Therefore, Wu Haogu sent him to Goryeo, which was also a test of his ability.
Yin Guan didn't expect Ji Yi to incite Goryeo to invade Japan, so he didn't know how to answer for a while, and just stared at Ji Yi and Su Shi blankly.
Ji Yi smiled and said, "You have soldiers, we have ships, and Japan has neither. As long as we join forces, are you still afraid that Japan will not give in? If Japan can surrender, will your king's reputation be established?"
"But the population of Japan is no less than that of Goryeo, and the terrain is not conducive to the development of the army, so it is very difficult to calm down." Yin Guan looked at Ji Yi, thinking about what the treacherous minister Wu Haogu, behind Ji Yi, was making.
Ji Yi shook her head, "Why do you need to pacify? Taking a few islands will also open up territory! For example, Takama and Yinqi, which are sandwiched between Japan and Goryeo, are empty and unprepared. As long as Goryeo sends thousands of troops and rides the ships provided by us, you can easily succeed.
The land of these two islands is not smaller than that of Helanidian, right? Moreover, Goryeo will definitely win. Isn’t it a good opportunity for Zhang Guowei?”
Yin Guan looked at Ji Yi and asked uncertainly: "Then what kind of benefits can you get from it?"
