Chapter 738 The garrison is to protect your safety
"Ha ha ha ha!
The envoy is really interested. I thank you again!
However, what I want to tell the envoy is that the current Ming Dynasty is no longer the Ming Dynasty that the envoy had seen before!
Just taking the salary mentioned by the noble envoy, the salary of this official is more than 500 taels per year, which is not considered the welfare of the New Year. To sum up, the annual income of this official is not a small amount.
Therefore, the envoy is ordered to come here to do the job this time, and he can talk about it and do not have to do many extra-pronged skills. All things will be considered properly by our emperor and the senior officials of the cabinet!"
Hearing Kim Sung-hoon's seemingly frank remarks, Fang Yongzhi couldn't help laughing. After laughing, he roughly told the whole story. Kim Sung-hoon was stunned after hearing this.
A sixth-rank official actually has a salary of more than 50 taels of silver a year. If his salary of only 50 s of grain per month is converted into silver at the Ming market price, it will only be about 400 taels of silver a year, which is already a very high income in North Korea.
But I don’t know that I can’t even compare to an intermediate official in the Ming Dynasty. Fortunately, I came from a family of officials and did not expect my salary to live. It would be luxurious in the country to enjoy daily life. Otherwise, if I only talk about salary, I would be extremely unbalanced.
However, facts have proved that the former sect leader of the Ming Dynasty was already out of reach, and the confidence of the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Empire was undoubtedly revealed in all aspects, which can be seen from Fang Yongzhi's attitude.
To be honest, the members of the mission, including him, are just a group of local buns who have never seen the world before. No wonder behind the smiling face of the sixth-rank official opposite, there is a feeling of always looking down at him.
After entering Dongbianmen, the convoy walked forward for about half an hour and finally arrived at the newly built luxury official post in Honglu Temple that specializes in entertaining foreign guests.
As the chief envoy of the mission, Kim Sung-hoon and Deputy Envoy, Gosho Jung-lang Park Byung-shu were arranged in two adjacent courtyards, while others lived in other courtyards, one or three. After Fang Yongzhi arranged Kim Sung-hoon and others, he drove back to the Honglu Temple not far away.
"I don't know if the Secretary Fang has given me any explanation? When will we meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty?
The current domestic situation is critical. If you cannot obtain support from Shangbang as soon as possible, you are afraid that domestic turmoil will intensify!"
Not long after Fang Yongzhi left, Deputy Envoy Park Byung-shu came to Kim Sung-hoon's residence and discussed how to complete the dispatch as soon as possible with Kim Sung-hoon.
"Park Jung-lang doesn't have to be anxious. According to my official's opinion, this request for help is very likely to be realized. Now we should consider how to obtain more material assistance so that our country can benefit in the long term!
Park Jung-ron, have you noticed it?
Since you and I entered the realm of the Celestial Empire, all the sights are all a peaceful and prosperous scene, and there is a new and prosperous atmosphere everywhere. It can be seen that the situation in the Celestial Empire has undergone tremendous changes, and the national strength will definitely increase significantly over the years!
Under such a great situation, if our country wants something, how can we not agree with the generosity of the Supreme People's Republic of China?"
Seeing Park Byung-soo's worried look, Kim Sung-hoon comforted her with a relaxed smile on her face.
"The meaning of the judgment is that our mission will definitely be fulfilled this time?
This is so good!
It was the first time that Xiaguan visited the Celestial Empire. He had known very little about the national conditions of the Celestial Empire before. He visited the Celestial Empire several times. The conclusions he had obtained must be based on. As for how to gain more benefits from the Celestial Empire, it all depends on how the Celestial Empire operates!"
Seeing Kim Sung-hoon's look of Ji-joo holding it, Park Byung-shu's heart, which had been hanging all the time, finally let go of most of it.
This verdict is a famous pro-Ming faction in North Korea. His understanding and understanding of the Ming Dynasty are far from comparable. Behind Kim Sung-hoon is a large group of aristocratic families who admire the Ming culture. This force cannot be underestimated in North Korea. Therefore, after confirming that he seeks help from the Ming Dynasty, Kim Sung-hoon, who is pro-Ming, naturally became the official envoy.
The purpose of these pro-Ming factions is that if the mission is rewarded greatly, they will use the results they have achieved this time to carry out a large-scale liquidation of the appeasers who supported the surrender of the king Li Ni to the Qing Dynasty and abandoned the status of the Ming Dynasty's surrender, so as to completely control the political situation in North Korea and regain the lost power.
Park Byung-shu's official rank is the fifth rank. He has been working in the Ministry of Revenue for nearly twenty years. He is a technical bureaucrat who is proficient in business but has not strong background. This time he followed the mission to the Ming Dynasty, which is to be able to connect with the Ministry of Revenue more smoothly after the purpose is achieved.
"Let's rest for a while today. Tomorrow, you will follow my official to visit relevant officials of the Celestial Cabinet in order to arrange for us to meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty as soon as possible to relieve our country's anger!"
In the next few days, Kim Sung-hoon took Park Byung-shu and his entourage to board the vehicle provided by Honglu Temple. After inquiring about the address of the senior officials of the Grand Court, he brought gifts to visit, but in the end, no one saw them, and the gifts were returned. This series of similar encounters made Kim Sung-hoon and the members of the delegation very frustrated.
Is your judgment wrong?
Did the Celestial Empire hold revenge for the last time of 5,000 gun soldiers and the severance of the two countries?
Just when Kim Sung-hoon and Park Byung-shu were still unable to find any solution, Fang Yong-zhi, who had not shown up for several days, suddenly came to the official post and brought good news to Kim Sung-hoon: Chen Qi-yu, the assistant minister of the cabinet and the Grand Secretary of the Wuying Palace, will meet with the head and deputy envoy of the mission tomorrow morning and listen to the North Korean mission's explanation on related issues.
The next morning, Jin Sung-hoon and Park Byung-shu each changed into new official uniforms. After everything was done, they rushed to Honglu Temple accompanied by Fang Yongzhi, waiting for Chen Qiyu to receive him.
Li Jinfan, the Minister of the Honglu Temple, only showed up at the welcome banquet that night the mission was stationed, and he never showed up again. But since he was a guest coming to his office this time, he was embarrassed to not show up no matter what he said.
So, half an hour after Kim Sung-hoon and Park Byung-shu arrived at the Honglu Temple, Lee Jinfan came to the reception hall. After the two sides greeted each other, Kim Sung-hoon and Park Byung-shu sat in the right seats under the hall. Lee Jinfan and Fang Yong-zhi accompanied each other. Both sides chatted and chatted freely, waiting for the arrival of the boss.
After changing the tea twice, a loud notification sounded outside. The four of them hurriedly got up and came to the steps in front of the hall to welcome Chen Qiyu's arrival.
Under the commission of Zhu Youjian, the talks between the two countries will be chaired by Chen Qiyu.
Zhu Youjian's purpose is very clear. The Ming Dynasty and North Korea have traditional friendly relations. As long as North Korea gives a detailed explanation of the issues concerned by the Ming court and punishes the relevant responsible persons, they still respect the Ming Dynasty as the superior state of the Celestial Empire, then the Ming Dynasty will also provide assistance to North Korea in an appropriate way.
