Chapter 441

"Building a Commercial Market in Goryeo?" Wu Yanen looked at Wu Haogu with some doubts, "Dongmen, you are an official from the Song Dynasty. I'm afraid you can't control the affairs of Goryeo, right?

Moreover, in Goryeo, merchants have no status, they are truly the last of the four peoples!"

The economic foundation of the Goryeo Kingdom is similar to that of the Liao and Japan countries. Both are manor economy. Now the Goryeo Kingdom is not the two Korean classes who only studied and took exams later, but the descendants of the Goryeo nobles who followed Wang Jian to create the country. Although they also learned from the Song Dynasty to hold the imperial examination, their imperial examination was played by the manor nobles. Therefore, in history, the Goryeo Kingdom and the Liao Kingdom, the Jurchens performed quite well in several wars, much stronger than the Song Dynasty and much stronger than the later Korean Kingdom.

However, in Goryeo, where the manor economy dominated, the status of merchants was even more under the Song Dynasty, and was only stronger than that of the untouchables.

"There is a way," Wu Haogu smiled, "I have my own way to let those Koreans submit."

"Is there any way?"

Wu Haogu snorted softly: "Of course it was the Battle between Goryeo and Jurchens! Did Mr. Hai forget about this?"

"This..." Wu Yanen waved his hand and said to the female envoy who was serving in the guest hall, "Get out."

After hearing this, several female envoys retreated, and only Wu Haogu, Pan Qiaolian, O'Neon O'Liga and Mr. Tinghai Wu Yan'en were left in the hall.

"East Gate," Wu Yanen frowned, "Now Mr. Zhang has invited the county... Will this matter change?"

"No." Wu Haogu shook his head, "Grandpa Zhang has gone down, but the official family is also a saint!

Moreover, now we have more than one line in Goryeo.”

What's the meaning?

Wu Yanen looked at Wu Haogu with some difficulty understanding.

"There are actually our ways to go with the Jurchens." Wu Haogu smiled and said, "This transaction is done at both ends! Your family is done with the Goryeo people, and we are done with the Jurchens."

"Jurchen?" Wu Yanen took a breath, "Is the court connected with them?"

"No." Wu Hao Ancient Road, "But we and the Bohai people have already joined the line... The Bohai Jurchens are a family! Listen to Mr. Hai, do you understand what I mean?"

It turns out that he is the first person to be a businessman! Wu Yanen said in his heart: I have always been open and honest in my business life, and I treat others with sincerity and virtue... Why is this Wu Haogu also a disciple of Mr. Dongpo and he is also a great scholar? Why is he so treacherous? He must be careful when doing business with him in the future.

"The East Gate means that the Goryeo people will lose all their money?" Wu Yanen asked thoughtfully.

"I'm afraid it's impossible to lose all your money?" Wu Haogu smiled bitterly, "The soldiers and horses of Goryeo shouldn't be very weak, right?"

Wu Yanen shook his head and smiled and said, "I still don't know the inside story of Goryeo. In fact, Goryeo's military forces are very weak. The military system of Goryeo is similar to that of the early Tang Dynasty in our country. It was built on military farming. However, Goryeo's country's two hundred years ago, and its land has been continuously annexed, and it has long been owned by the aristocratic families. Ordinary people are customers who rent land and are unable to bear military service."

"But the great families of Goryeo can still fight?" Wu Haogu now has a very good understanding of the ancient military system. "As long as they can still fight, the Goryeo court can get some money and the war can be maintained."

In fact, the ancient military system was similar to modern times. It was basically two major categories: mercenaries and feudal conscripts bought with money. The basis of feudal conscripts was the manor system, the feudal system or the equal-field system, which was linked to the land and soil; mercenaries must be based on the development of industry and commerce and the ability of the central government to make money.

There was basically no manor system in the Northern Song Dynasty, so it was impossible to engage in feudal conscripts, and mercenaries were an inevitable choice.

Because Goryeo did not have developed industry and commerce to make money, it was necessary to establish a conscription system similar to the government system.

However, there is also a big pit in the system of government troops, that is, officers must be provided by the noble manor. Moreover, the manor nobles (families, family members, nobles) must maintain close contact with the government soldiers and farmers in order to effectively mobilize and command during wartime.

However, the equal fields are always destroyed for various reasons. The close relationship between the manor nobles and the patriarchs and farmers always makes the emperor sleep uneasy... Therefore, the system of the patriarchs (country soldiers) in the Tang Dynasty, Goryeo and the southern part of the Great Liao Dynasty will inevitably collapse in the end.

However, the economic foundation of Goryeo is still the manor system, so while the government soldiers and equal fields are corrupt, the aristocratic manors will inevitably expand, which will form a situation similar to the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The aristocratic families have a certain amount of force. In times of crisis, the country can mobilize this part of its power to defend the country.

In addition, although the economy of Goryeo itself is not developed, it cannot resist the wealthy man from the Song Dynasty. He worked hard to dig more ginseng and exterminated a few more tigers, and he could still get a lot of cash to hire soldiers in the short term. Although it is impossible to fight a protracted war by extermination of wild tigers and digging ginseng, there is no big problem if there is a short-term outbreak.

After all, the officers and warriors from the manor system are still much better than the general capitalists and general artists in Kaifeng Prefecture. As long as the core is not completely decayed and sufficient cannon fodder can start a war with the Jurchens and Khitans, even if they are defeated in the end, they can cause a lot of losses to their opponents.

"Ting Hai," Wu Haogu paused, and said, "It's better to join forces to make a game and let the Goryeo and the Jurchens fight for ten or eight years... As long as the Goryeo King is forced to lose everything, your Wu family will have the possibility of taking a Wujiagang. And the Yuntai Academy can also take the opportunity to get a kick in the Goryeo Kingdom. At that time, the Academy and Wujiagang cooperate with each other, and the Goryeo Haizhou Wu family will be prosperous."

Wu Yanen was a little moved, "How should the Academy interfere in Goryeo? How should we help the Wu family in Goryeo develop?"

"The school has to wait for the opportunity to intervene in Goryeo." Wu Haogu smiled, "If the battle between Goryeo and Jurchens lasts for a long time, it will inevitably lead to a large clan supporting strong troops and threatening the Goryeo court. At that time, the Goryeo court will need the rule of the monarch and ministers, and the great power will be divided.

In my Yuntai Academy, there are the rules and status needed by the Goryeo kings, which can help the Goryeo country build academies, promote Confucianism, and practice the stability of focusing on culture and over military affairs. This leader of the Goryeo and the prosperity of Confucianism was naturally the responsibility of the Wu family.

And this academy can actually become a manor!"

"The academy becomes a manor?"

"Yes, the academies are a place for teaching and educating people in the Song Dynasty. In Goryeo and Japan, they can become manors with territorial fosterers."

This is actually a matter of course! The manor system is the foundation in Goryeo and Japan. Whether it is a noble manor or a temple, they all have enclosed households. To control enclosed households, you must have certain armed forces. Having a certain armed force and enclosed households is naturally a feudal separatist force.

If the academy below the Yuntai Academy wants to gain a foothold in Goryeo and Japan, it will naturally have to own land, enfeoffers and armed forces. Otherwise, it will be beaten to the monk soldiers in the temple and the divine soldiers in the shrine...

"Can it really succeed?"

Wu Yanen was still a little skeptical. Although his family was a powerful man at the sea, it was the foundation of merchants in East Asia. The first regime dominated by merchants was the Jiehe Market, which was still in the forum. Therefore, Mr. Wu was inevitably a little guilty.

"Why can't it be successful?" Wu Haogu smiled, "We join forces, and there is money! There is no shortage of status. Yuntai Academy wants to spread Confucianism all over the world; the knife handle is not a problem. Your family has a warship fleet at sea. We can also provide support to the Jurchens through the Bohai people, and we can always let the Goryeo people submit. Besides, there are already people in your family who have served as high-ranking officials in the Goryeo court, and there is no shortage of paths.

We have money, people, reputation, ways, and force! It will be a matter of days if we cannot succeed! Mr. Hai, will we do it?"

"But the court..." Wu Yanen was still a little worried.

What does the Song Dynasty court mean?

"The court certainly supports it," Wu Haogu smiled, "The court has been thinking that it will take Goryeo to be the subject for a hundred years! Now, the saint king is the country and likes all countries to pay tribute to the court the most!"

It is impossible to coax the Japanese Emperor Shirakawa to surrender to Zhao Ji, but it is still possible to make the Goryeo Kingdom surrender.

Wu Haogu had already planned to let the Goryeo people go and have a fight with the Jurchens first, so that they could know the Jurchens' power, and then knock out the nails from Yuntai Academy and the Wu family in Haizhou. After the Battle of Bubu Dagang, they could coax the Goryeo Kingdom to surrender to the Song Dynasty and form an alliance with the Liao Kingdom to oppose the Jurchens.

"Okay!" Wu Yanen thought for a moment, "East Gate, where do you want to open that Shipbuilding School?"

"It's really on Yuzhou Island." Wu Haogu said, "There are old ship bows and shipbuilding craftsmen in Haizhou, so it's convenient to drive here."

In fact, Wu Haogu also plans to open a branch of the Naval School in Jiehe Commercial City, but that is a future matter. At present, it is not easy to open a general school in Haizhou.

"How many courses are held?" Wu Yanen asked again.

Wu Haogu said: "It is generally divided into two ways, one way to teach boat craftsmen and the other way to teach boat bows. The boat craftsmen are engaged in subjects such as drawing, calculation, carpenters, materials, ship models, etc.

The bow of the boat was driving, water battles, martial arts, foreign scenery, geography and other subjects.

Not only do you have to teach in class, but you also need to enter the yard and fleet practice arrangements. Basically, there is a three-year study period, two years of schooling in class, and one year of study in the yard and fleet.

In addition, the teachers of the Naval Affairs College do not all ask you to be born by the Wu family. The Aladdin Chamber of Commerce gave two Baifan naval leaders. There are many boatmen among the seven Manichaeists, and the Pingjiang Ji family can also be born. In short, it is necessary to gather the talents of each family and turn the Naval Affairs College into a real science."

"What the East Gate thinks is really comprehensive!" Wu Yanen nodded slightly.
