"Geolang is rare." Compared to Jiang Daoxun, Park Xianyu must be more familiar with Hong Jinglai.

"Since you are here, Pu Tai must have given you some instructions." Hong Jinglai was not a stupid boy, so he couldn't understand this.

"Pu Tai did give me one or two instructions."

Pu Xianyu signaled to Zhao Wanyong, and after getting Zhao Wanyong's permission, he began to talk in detail. It must be said that this man is becoming more and more skillful and tactful now, and he may one day become the leader among Hanyang tribute merchants.

"The future brother should have something to do with this matter." Zhao Wanyong was just indifferent to Park Xianyu. After all, he was not familiar with him, but he still slightly provoked Hong Jinglai.

"Haha..." Hong Jing didn't answer.

Xiao Zhao made it clear that the current fluctuation of rice prices in Gangwon Province has Hong Jinglai's shadow in it. Hong Jinglai naturally had a fight with him, and we will talk about the details later.

Hong Jinglai wrote a detailed statement about raising official prices to induce foreign business groups to enter Gangwon Province; and temporarily condoning it in order to prevent leaders such as Yu Junze from coercing good people to rebel

Of course, it is normal for him not to reply.

After all, first of all, a gentleman is shy about talking about businessmen, and secondly, he just indulges these common people who beg for food, which is not good-looking at the yangban level.

As for Xiao Zhao, a very smart person like him must have guessed at some level how a "official" like Hong Jinglai could sit back and watch the food price surge. Now that there is a new arrangement in Hanyang, Hong Jinglai may be the one to hit the target.

's plan.

Look down on us!

Not surprisingly, it is Park Zongqing who takes action now. Liu Xiaoyuan is the son-in-law of Pan Nanpu, so he is naturally Park Zongqing's die-hard younger brother, and Park Xianyu is Park Zongqing's white glove. Let's not mention these two. The mother of the new Yuanzhou County Magistrate Jiang Daoxun

, it turned out that he was also born in the Pan Nanpu family, but he was not a direct descendant, but a concubine of a small clan. Now he probably finally got on the Pan Nanpu family's ship.

He was sent to serve as county magistrate just for convenience.

Seeing that the price of food in Gangwon Province is so high, who is the person with the most food in the Eighth Routes of North Korea at this moment? Logically speaking, it should be Li Wei. He is the owner of the Eighth Routes. The tribute rice for the autumn tax year was just harvested. Don't say it.

There are millions of stones and rice hoarded in Hanyang.

However, Li Wei was the owner, but not the actual manager. The person who actually managed the millions of stone-year tribute rice was Pu Zongqing, and he was the first person to grasp the financial power of the Li Dynasty.

This money and food do not belong to the Pu family, but they are not much different from those of the Pu family!

Now that there is an opportunity to make a fortune in front of Pu Zongqing, he will not let it go. Unlike Hong Jinglai, Pu Zongqing is in the center of power. His power comes from Li Wei's biological mother Suifei Pu, as long as Pu is still alive.

Then Pan Nanpu is the first-class relative of the royal family.

It is not a rebellion, a serious crime that brings harm to the country. Even if all the scholars in North Korea criticize Park Zongqing, it will be useless. No one can change the fact that Li Wei was born from Sui Fei Park's belly.

You can criticize me as much as you like, but my sister is the Holy Mother anyway! If you don’t accept it, I’ll do it. Whoever is a coward is my younger brother!

Therefore, things that touched local interests and were attacked by scholarly public opinion were completely out of Pu Zongqing's eyes. Anyway, in his view, the gentry other than the gentry in Beijing were nothing more than inferiors and nothing.

Now, taking the grain from the state's official warehouse and transporting it to Gangwon Province, using the power attached to the feudal royal power to oppress others and monopolize this windfall, this is what Park Zongqing wants.

But after all, he is the big boss in charge of the central government. Park Zongqing also knows that if he goes too far, the people of Gangwon Province may be forced to rebel. He wants to make money, but also wants the people to bear it and not cause chaos.

.

To describe it in modern terms, it is probably to use the national government's market compulsory control power to set legal price limits for special commodities in special areas to ensure social stability and residents' lives.

Pu Zongqing just takes the country's rice and happily pursues his own personal gain, but he knows how to measure, unlike those rural workers who only know how to make money and are vicious. The base price he gave is acceptable and not excessive.

Thousands of dollars per stone!

People also say that even if they make money, they don’t put it all into their own pockets. All the money they make is used to subsidize the national treasury, so that the country cannot use it enough. As for whether the money can really be put into the national treasury, it is hard to say.

So on the surface, of course, it is necessary to open up the internal and external channels, and not to block trade routes, and the words such as asking for the rebel leader are all routine. It is definitely true that the trade routes are not to be blocked, but except for Park Xianyu's caravan, other merchants want to transport rice

When food comes in, it depends on whether you can pass the border inspection.

The envoy of Wonju Prefecture and the magistrate of Wonju County are all his younger brothers. I don’t know how many officials in Gangwon Province are members of the Pan Nanpu family. With so many people helping him organize the local government to block foreign businessmen, it will be too easy.

Moreover, in the name of Li Wei and with the slogan of selling official rations at affordable prices, we first suppress you from the moral high ground.

And on the surface, it looks like it can both provide relief to the victims and replenish the national supply. Even Jin Zuchun and Li Wei support him in doing so. Who dares to jump below? Whoever jumps is a rebel and a bandit. Liu Xiaoyuan and Jiang Daoxun will help you find you.

Evidence of religion.

As for Xiao Zhao, all the missions were false. He had no time to inspect the disaster situation in Gangwon Province. He only had one mission, to investigate whether there were really foreign missionaries entering North Korea.

If there is, then Hong Jing must cooperate with him. No matter what method is used, he must be taken out and sent to Hanyang to be beheaded. This time, the Li Dynasty was very bold. Jiaqing himself said that he would severely punish those who rebelled against the Qing Dynasty.

If people come to Korea to preach, they are not considered Qing people and can be killed as you wish.

Hong Jinglai remembered several evil prisons in North Korea's history. It was not easy for local believers to arrest them. As for the foreign missionaries, almost none of them were caught by the government.

They didn't even catch the Portuguese, Spanish and French missionaries who looked completely different from the Koreans. They used various methods to force them to show up. Or they just passed on false news to lure them to show up.

In particular, Li Shiying, the king of Xingxuan Courtyard, actually lied to his wife and said that he would cooperate with France to resist the aggressive Tsarist Russian invaders. As a result, his wife, as a devout Christian, really believed the letter and sent the news to the priests to help Li Shiying.

Catch them all in one go.

He directly captured and executed 9 European missionaries, and massacred about 8,000 to 30,000 Christians, which even caused two foreign disturbances.
