Chapter 544 The Rise of the Traitor Party Twelve

"Do you still remember what I said to me about building a market in Goryeo that day?"

In Linhai Village, in the guest hall, Wu Yanen and Wu Haogu exchanged a few greetings, then changed the subject and got straight to the topic.

When Wu Yanen mentioned the establishment of a market in Goryeo, Wu Haogu immediately laughed and nodded, "Dianzhi (Wu Yanen's official position) still remembers this. Can the Dianzhi know about Danluo?"

"Tanluo State?" Wu Yanen nodded, "I know... it is a vassal state of the Goryeo, and the current king of Goryeo State has been thinking about turning Talan into a county. Guest province, wouldn't you ask me to fight Talan, right?"

"Why can't it work?" Wu Haogu asked, "I won't ask you to take down the entire island, it's just a port and a market... As for the evil people, I will arrange for people to do it."

Wu Yanen was silent for a moment, "What do Kesheng wants to do?"

The old man is straightforward!

Wu Haogu laughed: "I want the Danluo Kingdom to call the vassal of the Song Dynasty. Is this possible?"

I won’t talk about how good the territory of Jeju Island is. Just bringing a vassal state for the court is a great achievement.

"Let the Danluo country be called a vassal?" Wu Yanen was stunned, "That is the vassal state of Goryeo!

The Guest Province probably didn't know that the Goryeo Kingdom is becoming increasingly arrogant and has begun to regard itself as a country. Danluo is the only vassal state of Goryeo. The Goryeo people have been there for many years and have long regarded it as their own territory.

If our dynasty wants to take Danluo as a vassal, it will probably trigger a war with the Koryo Kingdom!”

"Will the war start?" Of course, Wu Haogu didn't want to go to war with Goryeo. He was not worried that he could not defeat it, but that he was a brutal act of border provocation. For military officers like Wu Haogu, it was a sin in itself!

However, it is impossible for Wu Haogu to give up such a treasure land as Jeju Island. If the conspiracy to prevent ethnic minorities from moving south fails, it will be the overseas shelter of the Wu family group.

In addition, Jeju Island is said to be a good place to raise horses. Because the island is surrounded by water and the horses outside cannot be climbed, it is not easy to plant. Moreover, there are grasslands on the island, which can be used to move a large number of horses.

Once the cultivation project of the hippopotamus is completed, Jeju Island will be the most ideal large-scale breeding base.

So Jeju Island must be able to get it... But you can't force it now! After all, the Wang Goryeo is not as weak as the Lee North Korean.

Wu Haogu thought about it and asked with a smile: "Since your family doesn't want to open a market in the territory of Danluo, are you interested in other territory in Goryeo?"

"There have always been three commercial roads to the sea in Goryeo," Wu Yanen said with his fingers, "One is Haizhou, which is close to the capital of Goryeo. It is the location of the Goryeo Maritime Bureau and the largest commercial port. Most of the goods sent to Goryeo from the Song Dynasty were shored by Haizhou. However, Haizhou is close to the capital of Goryeo, so it is not easy to get a piece of land there.

The second place is Dongping County (Busan) in Ueju, southern Goryeo, where trade with Japan is mainly based.

The third place is located in the northwest of Goryeo, bordering Baozhou, Xuanzhou and Dingzhou of Liao, near the sea estuary of the Yalu River and the Qianli Great Wall. The area is rich in fur, ginseng, wood, and the entrance to the Liao Dynasty's iron tools.

Wu Haogu already understood what Wu Yanen meant, "Do you want to build a market in the northwest of Goryeo?"

"Yes!" Wu Yanen smiled, "Just between Liao and Goryeo, there are some islands near the mouth of the Yalu River, which is very good."

Of course, the Wu family in Haizhou could not dance with Wu Haogu's baton, and they also had their own small abacus.

Setting up a site on the Danluo Kingdom will sooner or later be involved in the dispute between the Song Dynasty and the Goryeo Kingdom, which is something that the Wu family cannot afford!

Moreover, there is not much fuel or water to build a port in Danluo. Although Danluo is located between the Song Dynasty, Goryeo and Japan, since there are no good ports on Jeju Island and the products are not abundant, this is not a transit station for trade in the Three Kingdoms, and there is no condition to become a transit station.

Therefore, establishing a trade stronghold in the Danluo Kingdom would not have much benefit to the Wu family in Haizhou. On the contrary, if we could use the strength of the Song and Liao countries to build an island at the mouth of the Yalu River, we would make huge profits. Because fur, ginseng, etc. are not bulk items, it is very convenient to smuggle.

If the Wu family could build an island in the "disputed" area at the mouth of the Yalu River, they could bypass the tax customs of Goryeo and directly purchase fur and ginseng from tribes and villages on both sides of the Yalu River.

"You want to take advantage of the Liao Kingdom, right?" Wu Haogu asked.

Wu Yanchong smiled bitterly and said, "Don't you take advantage of the Liao Kingdom and still take advantage of the Song Dynasty? The Goryeo people are not afraid of our Great Song Dynasty! Otherwise, my third brother would not be a Goryeo official.

Guest Province, as far as I know, you have many friends in Liao Kingdom, do you?"

Wu Haogu was silent for a while, as if thinking about something, and then said softly: "Okay! I'll contact the Liao people... When Goryeo and Jurchen fight to the point where they are difficult to resolve, this matter should be successful.

But your Wu family also has to help me do something!"

"What's the matter with the guest province?"

Wu Hao Gu Dao: "At the latest next year, the court will send a mission to Goryeo and Japan. Your fleet will be responsible for sending this mission to the Danluo Kingdom!"

"The mission to visit Japan is sent to...Danluo?"

"Yes, it's just sent to the Danluo Kingdom!" Wu Haogu nodded, "You make up the reason. The strong wind blew over, the fleet was trekking, and the ship leaked... In short, you must find a reason to let the delegation stay in the Danluo Kingdom, and then return, and don't go to Japan for the time being."

"Okay!" Wu Yanen thought for a long time, but did not find any big risks, so he agreed immediately.

Wu Haogu’s request is of course unusual, he is deceiving the emperor!

In fact, he could not arrange a mission to visit Japan next year. At this time, Japan is very closed in diplomacy and refuses to engage in normal exchanges with countries on the East Asian continent. Wu Haogu cannot open up the situation in such a short time, and it is even more impossible to arrange a mission to visit Heiankyo. At most, it is to land in Hakata and interact with Dazaifu in Japan.

However, Wu Haogu still had to promote this delegation to visit Japan. Because only in this name can it be possible to establish official liaison between the Song Dynasty and the Danluo Kingdom in justified manner.

If the mission of the Shang Kingdom of the Song Dynasty arrived at the small country of Tanluo, it would be impossible for the star master and officials of Tanluo to avoid it, right?

As long as they meet, Wu Haogu will have a way to get the monarch and ministers of the Danluo Kingdom to agree to the establishment of a "visiting Japan and transiting port" in the Danluo Kingdom. Japan is so "far away" from the Song Dynasty. How inconvenient is it not convenient to have a supply port in the middle?

For the friendship between China and Japan for generations, it is no problem for the Song Dynasty to set up a supply port in the Danluo Kingdom?

In addition, the Song Dynasty must have recognized that the Danluo Kingdom was a vassal of Goryeo, which must be the scope of Confucian Taoism. The Yuntai Academy sent doctors to Danluo to establish academies and spread the purest Confucian knowledge, which is definitely beneficial to the three aspects of the Song Dynasty, Goryeo and Danluo.

Moreover, the missions of the Song Dynasty did not use the port of Danluo for vain, but rented it... They would pay rent to the star master of Danluo, and the star master of Danluo gave most of it to the Goryeo Kingdom to purchase the weapons of the Song Dynasty to attack the barbaric Jurchens!

Of course, the King of Goryeo himself, the ministers of Goryeo, the beauties and eunuchs in the king's harem, are indispensable for anyone who can speak well.

This is clearly a legendary joint development!

However, there were robbers on the sea near the Danluo Kingdom. In order to protect the Song Dynasty mission and the security of the gifts given to the King of Goryeo, the Japanese Emperor and the Lord of the Danluo Star, the mission and the Doctor must be equipped with armed forces.

And a fortress must be built in the leased transit port...

...

"City, this time the imperial court really plans to sell weapons to the Goryeo people?"

After Wu Yanen's words changed, he changed from long-term "co-development" to the "arms trade" that is about to be carried out.

"Yes!" Wu Haogu smiled and said, "Of course I'm going to sell it to the Koreans! Dianzhi, this is a big deal. Can your family do it?"

"Can the guest province really make the decision?" Wu Yanen did not answer Wu Haogu's question, but asked back.

"Yes!" Wuhao Ancient Road, "Jiehe Maritime Shipping Bureau directly picked up goods from the imperial court's military weapons and all were ready-made weapons."

"The goods from the military weapon supervisor?" Wu Yanen frowned, "What are the restrictions?"

"The Divine Arm Bow is definitely not sold," said Wu Haogu, "The Buffalo Horn Bow must be limited."

The most powerful weapon of the Song Dynasty was the crossbow! The most powerful one among the crossbows used by individual soldiers was the Divine Arm Bow, which is a compound crossbow. The so-called Divine Arm refers to the crossbow arm that is particularly awesome. Naturally, it is a composite crossbow arm made of buffalo horns as the main material. Of course, this weapon is strictly prohibited from being held and exported by the public!

The bow is not a restricted weapon, and the buffalo horn bow is not limited in the territory of the Song Dynasty. There will be some restrictions on exports, such as the buffalo horn bow that cannot be sold casually.

Of course, the buffalo horn bow must be extremely expensive. Even on the Song Dynasty, only officers or a few elite troops (formerly elite) can be equipped. Even if it is opened to sell it to Goryeo, the Goryeo people can't afford it.

"Dianzhi," Wu Haogu asked with a smile, "There is no problem with the Goryeo people? Can they pay us money? Can Wuzhou Mu be a first-hand agent?"

"It's not a lot of money." Wu Yanen said, "But my third brother is deeply trusted by the King of Goryeo."

Wu Haogu laughed: "It doesn't matter if the money is not too much. As long as the Wuzhou Mu can make the decision, there will be a way to make money."

"Change money?" Wu Yanen asked, "How to change?"
