11. Occasionally see Chinese herbal medicines

"Just kill me!"

Oops!

Why is Li Chao so awesome this time! Hong Dashou was still a little surprised.

The small court of North Korea was really scared of being beaten by the Manchus. King Injo was considered the most determined anti-Manchu faction. In the end, he was beaten by the Manchus in Namhan Mountain City and cried for his father and mother. He was really helpless and gave up the kindness of rebuilding.

During the Ming Dynasty, he knelt three times and knelt down nine times to worship Huang Taiji.

After that, no matter how much dissatisfaction and hostility he felt in his heart, even King Hyojong, who was training new troops to try to resist, did not dare to say a word to the Manchu Tatars.

At the end of the day, he could only secretly add the sentence "You Ming Dynasty Korea" on his father's epitaph, which was regarded as letting his father show his last loyalty and filial piety to the Ming Dynasty.

The Xinyou Prison involved Chinese people. Not only the officials in charge of the matter, but also the high-ranking consul Jin Zuchun should not have dared to kill a Chinese, or it would have angered the Manchurian court behind him.

.

But now there is an order to kill without hesitation. Who dares to be so brave? Li Chao, the "filial son of China", actually dared to execute a Chinese. It is really awesome.

The crowd watching the execution did not care who gave the order. The execution, which had been at a deadlock, could proceed smoothly, which made them extremely happy.

The believers on the execution platform seemed to have realized this already. Men and women held hands or put their hands together and sang hymns in unison. While singing, some believers shed tears and some fell to their knees.

, performing the final prayers amid hymns.

The red-robed official who was imprisoning looked at the edict attached to the blue silk cloth, and he looked a little incredulous. But since the edict has been issued, and the person who issued the edict will support him if the sky falls, he can do anything.

.

(The execution scene is too bloody and conflicts with the review requirements, so 500 words have been omitted.)

The largest collective public execution known as the "Xinyou Great Martyrdom" in later generations has ended here. In the next six months, about 200 of the most steadfast believers will be executed one after another. Tens of thousands of believers will be executed.

Forced to renounce religion and openly renounce the church.

After killing the chickens and showing them to the monkeys, the imperial government announced that Catholics would be prosecuted in eight households across the country. They immediately implemented the "Five Families Unification Law" and elected one person to be the leader to report and expose Catholics in five households.

Those who report in advance will be rewarded, and those who hide and fail to report will be punished by five families in a row!

The most cruel ban on religion has since been issued, but the actual results have been limited.

Like the ban on Christianity in Japan on the other side, the Tokugawa shogunate even instituted the most cruel method of waterboarding to execute Catholics. They also made believers spit on holy statues and trample on holy statues (trampling) to make them apostatize.

Perhaps religion does have its inevitable existence and infinite charm. In Dejima, Nagasaki alone, there is actually a Catholic community of 20,000 people that has existed secretly for more than 200 years.

After the Meiji Restoration, the ban on Christianity was lifted, and Catholic freedom was restored, European missionaries came to Nagasaki again, and actually learned from here the most complete hymn system preserved in Spain about three hundred years ago.

In Spain, the hymns with that kind of intonation and phonetic tone are actually in shambles and are almost lost.

This has to be said to be an indescribable thing, and it may be difficult for ordinary people to understand this existence throughout their lives.

Similar to Japan, despite the massive ban on Christianity, the number of confirmed believers recovered to more than 20,000 in the second year. Not long after, it exceeded 50,000.

This result is really incredible.

The original master Hong Dashou was the most standard Confucian scholar and the least believer in religion. Although today's Hong Dashou is not a pretentious king who can't help but have his own destiny, and he doesn't have any bad feelings towards Christianity, he still laments that the beliefs of believers are really true.

Piety and so on.

Although he sympathized with these believers, Hong Dashou still chose to sympathize with himself more.

After parting ways with the people of Hanyang, the capital, who were talking endlessly, Hong Dashou returned to the ferry again. After the drama outside the south gate, the ferry became lively again, with merchants from all over the place bustling and the sounds of bargaining endless.

The business rights of the market town of Hanyangdukou are naturally controlled by the Beijing Merchant Group. Anyone who wants to set up a stall or open a small shop here needs a pass from the Beijing Merchant Group, which is equivalent to a market access permit.

People who have not passed the serial number are not allowed to trade at the ferry. Although it is very overbearing, it also avoids many problems in the transaction. Because as long as something goes wrong, you can find out whether it is a person or a ghost by following the serial number on the pass.

Dare to cause trouble on Jingshang's territory?

They asked you to go down to the Han River to feed the fish without anyone noticing. The two squads didn't dare to do anything, but the two assholes still dared to do it.

Therefore, Hong Dashou is not afraid of being deceived or cheated. It doesn't matter how dirty the Beijing business group is behind the scenes. On the surface, they are still the largest business group in North Korea. This golden sign cannot be tarnished by petty people.

Groceries from north to south, lacquerware from Pyongan Province, dried fruits from Gyeongsang Province, seafood from Jeolla Province, and furs from Hamgyong Province are all available, and the products of the eight provinces are gathered together.

There are even Japanese fans, knives, Japanese satin [Note 1], dried goods, Chinese books, jewelry, incense powder, and study utensils.

As expected, it is a market in Hanyang Capital, with everything.

But Hong Dashou is very confused. His hometown is Tiechuan County, Ping'an Road. What can be sold well in Tiechuan County or around Tiechuan County?

Large items such as cotton, cloth, rice, and grain were not considered at all. Hong Dashou only had one person and could not carry any heavy goods.

Among the finer goods that can make money, silk is the first choice. A high-quality piece of Suzhou can be sold for fifteen taels here, and it may be sold at a higher price in the remote Tiechuan County.

But Hong Dashou's capital is too small, and he has to change from fifty to eighty-four or more. I'm afraid that the three pieces of Suzhou will not be sold at such a high price, and it may be in the hands of his own big customers who don't have that much money.

.

Hong Dashou, who was walking around, looking and asking, didn't take long to reach the end of the market, but found nothing.

This made him quite annoyed, "Why can you make money quickly? Except what is written in the criminal law!"

In this distraction, Hong Dashou, who was still quite tall, almost bumped into the flags planted outside the store.

Grabbing the cloth banner that slapped his face, Hong Dashou took a look and saw two words written on the banner, "Chinese prescription".

It is a place that sells traditional Chinese medicines, most likely some Dieda Pills and Fengxie Powder, and a small chance of selling some Tuyi Powder, Budua Pills and the like.

There's nothing good to see, so you can't be a drug dealer. Are you really going to get some non-reducible pills and sell them? This will definitely be marketable, and it will definitely make money. Men throughout the ages have always had this need.

Laughing to death!

Just as he was turning around, Hong Dashou was attracted by the three words on the big medicine box next to the door.

[Note 1]: Let me tell you specifically what kind of cloth this is. I really can’t tell. But "A Dream of Red Mansions" does mention the names of Western satin and Japanese satin. And the quality of these satins is ranked among the highest in China.
