After hearing Hong Dashou's question, Lin Shangwo suddenly stopped and looked at him in disbelief.

"The king of hell is aggressive, but the devil is difficult to deal with."

Hong Dashou immediately understood that next door was the Qing Dynasty, which was known as "even if it is far away, it must be compensated". Of course the emperor in the Qianqing Palace liked the envoys of the Li Dynasty to kneel in front of him, calling him a saint and calling him long live. .

But other people can't get the vanity of paying homage to the Li Dynasty, not to mention that this kind of vanity cannot be used as food. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty regarded being an official as a business. If they don't make money, it's nothing. fiscal.

Even if they are the envoys of the Li Dynasty, they would be fools if they don't go up and kill them. Anyway, the rewards are given out of the emperor's internal affairs treasury, ranging from one to ten yuan. Everyone joins together to eat the emperor's flesh and suck the emperor's vagina. Cream.

An egg costs 10 taels of silver, and a patch costs 50 taels. When Guangxu gets married, the bed tent costs 50,000, and the purchase price in Suzhou is 45. Who wouldn’t?

Who among the officials and officials who can deal with the envoys from top to bottom don’t know that the envoys will make a lot of money when they go there? If you don’t want to blackmail, who are you trying to blackmail? Who is the envoy of the Li Dynasty that is the best to bully?

Even if it was Annan, Myanmar, or Gorkha, even if they didn't win, at least they didn't lose so miserably.

After two random acts, Li Chao was beaten until he cried for his father and mother. King Injo surrendered in white, knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times, and finally went up to the court and called Huang Taiji his real father. Anyone who lost so miserably, besides being exterminated, Apart from the Zhungeer people, I really couldn’t find anyone else for a while.

The second weakest soldier in Asia has no choice but to run away. The first weakest soldier will not be mentioned. He is a rookie anyway, so it’s okay not to mention it.

"Okay, I understand everything. What should I prepare?"

"Uncle Dafang bought 120 kilograms of pine chestnut mushrooms for you. I wonder how much share you still have, Brother Hong?"

"A hundred pounds is always okay, it's not a big problem."

Hong Dashou calculated thirty kilograms of quilts, two changes of clothes, straw sandals, felts, and two or three days' worth of dry food, and he could always carry a hundred kilograms of what was left.

"A hundred pounds? That's quite a lot."

Lin Sang-wook counted all the treasures and began to make plans for Hong Daesou. After all, he was the bookkeeper of the Wanshang Group's main store. He had a general understanding of the products in Hwanghae Province, Pyongan Province, and Hamgyong Province.

The cheapest and largest item, the fine-grained kapok cloth produced in Ping (shielding) soil, was one of the gifts given by the Li Dynasty to the angels of the Ming Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty. The price of kapok is cheap, and large quantities are preferential. When it comes to fortress items, At that time, a roll of fine-grained kapok cloth became available and affordable.

Then for smaller items, decorations and the like, crystals are produced in the northern part of the Li Dynasty, but they are still a bit expensive and not suitable for a poor guy like Hong Dashou.

The one that is more suitable for Hong Dashou is amazonite (as usual, I will not copy it in the encyclopedia to avoid occupying the number of words). From the name, you can tell that it is not jade, but amazonite is not only white and gray. Better materials include green ones. , take the core from a large piece of amazonite material, and you may be able to get good green material.

Although the green material is still stone, it can be imitated as jade. Not many years ago, old man Shiquan went to conquer Burma again, but he could not be beaten to death. The back and forth between the two countries was not peaceful. Even if tribute was brought to the palace The amount of jadeite that goes out is getting worse every year. It's really not easy to get a piece of green and water-permeable jadeite.

But amazonite is not worth much, or it is not as valuable as jadeite. Get two amazonite bracelets and put on some amazonite strings, bracelets or rosaries. Anyway, pretending to be jadeite is enough. It's ready to go.

Hong Dashou nodded fiercely in his mind and almost took a small notebook to write it down on the spot.

These two are for low-level officials, because the prices are really not too high.

If you meet some officials of some rank, you need to get some good things. Tiger skins and leopard skins are too exaggerated and unnecessary, but fox skins are still okay. Get a dozen of them ready, although a fox skin is

Nothing can be made from leather, but Hong Dashou is not the only one who can give it away.

When those officials stretch out their hands, they will have at least a dozen or twenty sheets, so that no matter what they do, they will have enough materials.

In addition to these, it is to exchange money. The Li Dynasty theoretically prohibited silver from flowing out of the country, but it could not be controlled at all. The country was in short supply of this and that, and it had to import this and that, and at least twenty or thirty years had to flow out.

Thousands of silver.

This is all because of his vigorous efforts to exploit Korean ginseng and bring back millions of dollars a year. Otherwise, within two years, the Li Dynasty would have been emptied of all its money.

Of course, Lin Shangwo didn't ask Hong Dashou to exchange for silver, but for scattered copper coins. The best thing is Qianlong's own money, Xiaoping coins, the kind that can be used as money. If it doesn't work, just use it.

You can clear the money, anyway, it will cost four to five thousand yuan.

There are thirty or fifty pieces in a bunch. They have been strung together in advance. When you need to use them, you can just pay them out to avoid paying in cash. Also, you can avoid others taking them all away when they see the money, leaving you with two.

As long as you cross the XX River, you will start to pay outside. After Xuande in the Ming Dynasty, I don't know exactly which year it started, when the Li Dynasty envoy went to Yanjing, and officers and soldiers were suddenly sent to escort them outside the customs.

In the Qing Dynasty, at first it was surveillance and distrust, but later it was the property owners who directly bullied the owners and clearly marked the prices.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty also set up thieves officers and soldiers outside the customs [Note 1], as well as flag soldiers and other personnel. Every time the Li Chao envoys came, the officers and soldiers in Shengjing City would beat the brains out of the capable people, and even some low-level Eight Banners soldiers.

Captain Lan Ling, who is in armor and vest, would rather serve as an ordinary soldier than join the escort team.

The purpose was to reach out to Li Chao's envoys. As soon as they met, they blocked the road and set up traffic jams. If they were individuals, they would have to pay for the meeting.

From now on, along the way, you have to collect horse money when you reach the station, and you have to collect horse money when you set off. When it rains heavily, you need to collect money for clothes, socks, and umbrellas. When the sun comes out, you need to collect money for tea and ice.

As Hong Dashou was an attaché of the envoy, according to Lin Shangwo's estimation, if he wanted to walk safely to Shanhaiguan, he would have to spend at least one hundred taels of property. This was a smooth sailing situation.

If you meet an officer who has been sitting on the bench in Shengjing for ten or twenty years, and finally signed a contract to escort the committee members. It doesn't matter what the official is, as long as he holds the ticket of General Shengjing, he is a superior officer!

I’d like to teach you what “extremely evil” means!

Hearing this, Hong Dashou trembled for no reason!

[Note 1]: Shengjing and Jilin have a total of one Qianzong, 14 generals, and 32 foreign delegates. They are divided by local civil officials and are under the jurisdiction of the governor, general and governor respectively. Also Chahar

There are four robber-catching officers, who are under the jurisdiction of the Chahar Dutong. In addition, there are also several robber-catching officers affiliated to the general manager of Ula, Wulianghai, Zhahaqin, Mingat, Erut, and Damu Defense.
