42. What is good for the widow?
"The Lord is too worried!"
Zhao Wanyong knew that there was absolutely no need to communicate with the Manchus about this matter. Jiaqing was a conservative person, and what bothered him most was the immigration of foreigners. Moreover, there were many missionaries among the foreigners who entered the country, which was particularly disgusting to him.
If this tells him that North Korea's Incheon side allows foreigners to come to trade, as long as it is a manually operated place, there must be a place where they can move, and there may not be a few missionaries involved. The border defenses between North Korea and the Manchu Qing Dynasty are described as insincere, and the wicker border has been
It was in a state of decay, and one could cross the border at any place. Jiaqing would definitely not agree, and might even issue an edict requiring North Korea to abide by the vassal etiquette.
"What does Zhao Dafu mean?" Li? Put down the petition and prepared to listen to Zhao Wanyong's explanation.
"Does the Lord of the Thirteenth Line of Guangdong in the Qing Dynasty know?" Zhao Wanyong is also a person who sees the world with open eyes. If he hadn't been able to chat with Hong Jinglai about the Thirty Years War, Hong Jinglai probably wouldn't have become a brother with him.
"Hongshang?" Li? was slightly confused.
Since he didn't understand, Zhao Wanyong naturally talked about it. There was no need to mention the Thirteen Lines, which were merchants set up by the Qing Dynasty outside Guangzhou to specialize in foreign trade. This kind of merchants had the connotation of hereditary neglect, and at the same time, they were also a certain group of merchants in the Qing Dynasty.
A window for foreign exchanges in this sense. Through long-term trade, a huge amount of wealth has been accumulated. Of course, it is inevitable to become the money bag of the Qing government and officials, with constant returns and demands. Once you enter the industry, your family property will be lost.
There are not a few.
But it is undeniable that the Thirteenth Bank acted as an intermediary between the Qing Dynasty and most European countries, performed a considerable part of diplomatic functions, and cultivated a large number of foreign language and navigation talents.
Although North Korea does not have the Thirteenth Line, it does have Lai merchants and Gulf merchants with some of the same functions. One is for trade with Japan and the other is for trade with the Qing Dynasty. Both of them also cultivated a large number of Chinese and Japanese talents, and were ordered to collect Japanese and
News from the Qing Dynasty.
After all, the little North Korea cannot afford to offend these two neighbors. If anyone stands up, they can catch North Korea and beat them up. It is already a lot of hardship, so of course it cannot be taken lightly. On the one hand
The envoys sent to Yanjing and Edo needed to collect and sort out a large number of humanistic books available on the market. On the one hand, they also needed to record the mountains, rivers, geography, and cultural customs along the way, and examine the possibility of another war.
There is a consensus among North Koreans on the concept of a sense of urgency!
Therefore, the Northern School and the Practical School, which studied advanced Western science and technology, were able to develop and prosper. Many scholars were also worried about the backwardness of Korea and realized the necessity of enriching the country and strengthening the army.
"Is Zhao Dafu planning to use Lai merchants and Gulf merchants as handling merchants to trade with overseas Dutch barbarians and expand tariffs?"
"In addition, you can also directly communicate with the Dutch barbarians to collect technology that will benefit the country's agriculture and industry." Zhao Wanyong continued.
"Although your words are good, I ask you, this opening of Hong Kong will definitely disturb the scholars and scholars. And once the Qing Dynasty knows about it, it will be of no benefit to our country." Li Jie's words were also very sincere.
"So it is necessary for the Lord to issue an edict clearly and make it known to all the eight realms. This is nothing more than communication and trade. It is to show that our country is rich in natural resources and has peace at home. The foreigners admire the enlightenment and are willing to come and cooperate with it."
These words slightly tickled Li? As a feudal ruler, of course he hoped that his rule would be a peaceful and prosperous age. And among the various manifestations of a peaceful and prosperous age, barbarians came to worship the holy king.
It is undeniable that the current Youmyung Joseon State considers itself to have inherited China and calls itself "Little China".
So as "Little China", if someone is willing to seek enlightenment, isn't it a peaceful act?
"So what can I get?" Li? Suddenly his demeanor changed, and he had the temperament of a mature politician.
I can't give you any face, you don't even give me any face! Although I am the king who was supported by you, I am the king after all, and the king also needs a lot of money to maintain his dignity.
Even if there are palaces, villages and fields, which feudal monarch would dislike having too much money? More money means that the monarch's authority can expand and he can control more people and things. Why don't he want it?
"Well?" Zhao Wanyong must have thought of this as Li? He obviously didn't think of this part and was stunned for a moment. It was considered a disgrace in front of you.
"The Lord said it is, the Lord said it is." Hong Jinglai felt happy in his heart. The person he supported this time was considered a "big treasure". If it were another King Li, he would definitely not mention this kind of thing in person.
Min Jingyou then pulled Zhao Wanyong, who never thought about making money, to retreat from the palace, leaving Hong Jinglai to bargain with Li Yu in the palace. There was no need for the two of them to mess around in this matter, as long as they could convince Li Yu.
There were only a few attendants left in the palace. Hong Jinglai took a quick look and found that there was an old acquaintance of the Supreme Secret Shang Gong, so he asked her if the people in the palace were safe. The Shang Gong nodded and confirmed that they were all
As a member of our own family, Hong Jing can negotiate the price with Li Jing here without having to worry about the matter being leaked.
The specific content must not be made public. As long as Hong Jinglai and Li Yu know about it, at least Hong Xianzhou, who is in charge of the royal family's finances, will know about it in the future. Anyway, it is impossible to spread the news for the time being. What does it mean that the king personally goes to do business and holds shares?
This is "competing with the people for profit"!
Everyone only knew that Li Xizhu, the commander of the three naval forces, was the first to submit a letter, and then the official Cao participated in the judgement. Hanyang Prefecture Judge Zhao Wanyong expressed his support and then submitted a letter. Then several big guys in the Uijeongbu government expressed their opinions a little.
After giving his opinion, it was handed over to the chief, Li Yu.
Before the matter spread, Li?'s edict was clearly issued. But what was issued one day earlier was the edict that the imperial court would hold the "Huanggan Examination". Scholars in the world can participate in the "Huanggan Examination" this year.
Got another chance to take part in the imperial examination.
As expected, anyone who is interested in taking the imperial examination, especially those who saw that the last imperial examination was really admitted based on talent and learning, rather than based on family background, will have time to curse at this time, so they should all hurry up.
I rushed to Hanyang with my baggage. If I didn't take advantage of Hong Jing's opportunity to take the imperial examination when it was fair, I might not have this opportunity in the future.
As for the subsequent announcement of the decree in Incheon to allow Dutch barbarians to come to communicate and obtain Korean goods, the number of people who cared about it was less than half. The remaining ones were either old people who had given up the imperial examination, or young people who were just literate.
The remaining people didn't even dare to take part in the imperial examination. They didn't have much reputation in the local area and couldn't mobilize public opinion.
Of course, the scholars and scholars who rushed to Hanyang still discussed the matter, but the staunch royalists believed that this was an opportunity to promote the teachings of "Little China" and immediately came to the side of opening Hong Kong. The remaining opinions
Chapter completed!
