Yangzhou.

Li stood on the dock to send Quan Gai Suwen on board. He would board a sloop sailing boat and sail to Pyongyang, Goguryeo. Because it was still early spring and the southeast monsoon had not yet begun, his ship did not sail directly on Pyongyang, but would go north along the coastline and go back to Goguryeo in a large circle.

"goodbye!"

Li smiled and waved to Quan Gai Suwen.

"Looking forward to seeing each other again in Pyongyang soon, the prince."

Yuan Gaisuwen, who was standing on the dock in a white robe, had a forced smile on his face, but in fact he wanted to never see him again. But the deal with the demon had been signed, and he might not be able to escape from the control of the demon.

Not long ago, he agreed to Li's tempting plan. The Tang Dynasty would support him as King Goguryeo and overthrow Gao Jianwu's rule. The condition was that the Goguryeo Kingdom would be renamed Korea in the future and become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. The Tayuan clan would also change his surname to Li, and even the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty had given him a name, Li Xiaozhen, the prince of the Korean king of the Tang Dynasty.

Are you loyal and filial to the Tang Dynasty?

"Thank you, Duke Zhao, for sending you off, goodbye." Yuan Gai Suwen waved to Li with his one arm, and then got on the boat.

The boat sets up its anchor, sets its sail, and slowly sails away from the dock.

"Sanlang believes so much in this Goguryeo? He will probably lose control when he goes back." Cheng Yaojin asked, who was on the side. Because he resigned, Cheng Yaojin never wanted to go back. This time, Li Nan went to the scene, so he simply came. He said he was going to see Liuqiu Island and go to Goguryeo to have fun.

"It's not easy for Quangai Suwen to break away from control. Do you think if Gao Jianwu saw the things he wrote to the court, the submission documents sent by his father, and the secrets of Goguryeo. Do you think that if Gao Jianwu saw them, he could still tolerate their father and son?"

"Besides, Quan Gai Suwen is also a smart person. He knows that if he cooperates with us, he might really be the King of Korea. And if he refuses to cooperate with us, I will really come to him."

"I still think this person is unreliable. You cut off one hand and suffered a lot of sins. After going back, I'm afraid I'll think of a way to take revenge."

Li shook his head, "Not afraid, I have some tricks to deal with him."

······

The sloop sailing ship was very fast, much faster than the three-masted ship he took from Xiangyang to Yangzhou. Yuan Gaisuwen had been on a lot of boats before, but he had never taken such a fast sea boat. This ship could sail in the inland rivers and could also sail on the sea.

The sails of this ship are soft and are extremely fast with the wind.

Standing on the deck, Yoon Gassovian was not at all relaxed.

Although he had arrived at the sea, he knew that he was not free.

He thought again and again that when he returned to Goguryeo, he would throw Li away from Jiuxiaoyun and start his revenge plan, but in the end he sighed and gave up again and again.

He had seen Li's new army and knew that the firearms were powerful. Muskets were not the most terrifying, but the most terrifying thing was the cannon. No matter how strong the city wall was, it was difficult to defend for a long time in front of those siege mortars and general cannons.

Not to mention, Li and these more powerful warships are not just warships, but also cannons on the ships.

These ships are fast and big, so Goguryeo's ships will definitely not be able to stop them.

Li even told him a plan, and he would lead countless such sea boats to raid on the coastline of Goguryeo thousands of miles away.

This means that Goguryeo pushed the defense line to the Liaohe River. The Liaohe River thousands of miles defense line that took more than 200 years to build will lose its meaning. In the past, when the Central Plains attacked Goguryeo, they would inevitably come from western Liaoning and cross the Liaohe River. They had to go through the defensive city built by them in those mountain channels to reach the heart of the back and reach the capital Pyongyang.

Although the Sui army also came from the sea before and headed straight to Pyongyang.

But their way of fighting was actually still at 6 places. From the sea, they just transported troops to cooperate with the army from Liaodong.

But the plan Li mentioned was completely different. He did not intend to attack Pyongyang at sea, or to take over the city after landing at 6, and then seized the city. He only planned to rob it.

Stick the knife everywhere, and leave after stabbing.

At that time, Goguryeo had no defense at all. Faced with these Tang army robbers with Clippers and cannons, they could only stare at them, with thousands of miles of sea boundaries, without any danger.

He believed that this was also the confidence that Li Dan asked him to go back.

Because he couldn't escape even after he went back, Li could come to him at any time.

Day after day sailing along the coast.

The people who sailed the boat were all experienced people. They did not encounter any accidents along the way. Their ships sailed on the coast, and would rely on the shore to replenish some fresh water meat and vegetables every two or three days.

After sailing like this for many days, he finally saw the coast of Goguryeo.

However, he did not go ashore, and he walked much slower on the ground than on the sea. He carried the task assigned to him by Lee and needed to return to Pyongyang as soon as possible.

If it is in summer, take the southwest wind to travel directly to Pyongyang, it will take at most three days. As a result, it took them nearly a month to detour along the coast.

The ships docked at the Pyongyang Pier.

It did not cause any sensation at the wharf. In fact, in the past two years, many such Han sailing merchant ships have come. They brought many exquisite Tang Dynasty merchant goods, which were the favorites of the Goguryeo royal family and nobles.

Gao Jianwu stipulated that all the merchant ships in the Tang Kingdom arrived, and the goods could only be traded with the Goguryeo royal family. Gao Jianwu bought these goods and then sold them to the noble officials at a higher price, and the other parts were even sold to the Marine tribe in the Baishan and the Black Water.

Just relying on monopoly on the transaction with the Tang Ship, Gao Jianwu made a lot of money in the past two years, which attracted many nobles' envy.

There were already royal people coming to greet the pier.

The boss of the boat laughed and went up. They had often run here and were familiar with these people. This time they did carry a lot of cargo on the boat, and Yuen Gassuwen was just by the way.

Yuan Gai Suwen did not reveal his identity. He pretended to be a manager of the Tang Kingdom and hid in the cabin until the boss of the ship had finished his deal with the royal family. He waited until dark before he quietly got ashore.

The royal family is very happy that the boat boss will come before summer.

There are also Confucian classics in the Buddhist scriptures and Taoist collections, as well as the top-quality paper, pen, ink and inkstones of the Tang Dynasty, as well as silk, tea, sugar, wine, etc. These products are very popular in Goguryeo, and the royal officials laughed and didn't bother them.

"Is it still the same rule?" asked the manager.

The boss of the boat laughed and replied, "Well, we are still the same rule, trade in gold or silver."

The manager responded with a skilled Chinese sarcasm and waved his hand and someone immediately brought the box.

It contains gold that has been exchanged for the price of the goods agreed upon by both parties.

According to the agreed price, the gold in Goguryeo is actually much cheaper than that in the Tang Dynasty. The price comparison between gold and silver and copper in the Tang Dynasty is one tael of gold and eight guan copper, one tael of silver and five guan copper coins. Gold and silver are 1.6 to one.

But here, one or two gold liang is based on the ratio of four jin of copper coins and one or two silver liang of copper coins.

The Tang merchants all used this price difference very smartly. The goods they shipped were priced at copper coins, but they did not charge copper coins. Instead, they wanted the Goguryeo people to pay with gold or silver.

In this way, they can immediately make another difference when they transport gold and silver.

The price of gold in Goguryeo is actually twice as different from that of the Tang Dynasty. Although the risk is not small, they make more money. They transport the goods and sell them at high prices, but they settle in gold and make another double the difference. When they go back, in addition to bringing back gold, they are almost empty ships, so they will purchase another batch of local products in Goguryeo and will not give money, but will be considered as deposits for the next cargo.

These Tang merchants fully used shamelessness to the extreme.

Anyway, this is how Hai Trade makes money.

They took back the most important local products, usually young and beautiful women from Goguryeo.

"Do you still want a woman this time?" the manager asked with a smile.

Goguryeo women were very popular in the Central Plains, just as silk tea from the Central Plains was popular among the Goguryeo aristocrats. It was always very profitable to bring young women back to Goguryeo.

But this time the boss of the ship doesn't want young and beautiful women anymore. He wants men and strong young men.

"I want a man? Has the atmosphere of the nobles in Middle-earth changed?" the royal manager asked in surprise.

"That's not, it's just that our Emperor and His Majesty have enthroned the princes last year. The princes have their own fiefs and all need manpower. Buy some young and strong people to go back, farm and grazing, etc., just right."

"That's it, no problem. I'll get you some three-han prisoners in the future."

The ship boss knew that these three Koreans were the real indigenous people on the peninsula. Goguryeo and Baekje are actually migrating from Liaodong to the north and heading south, mainly for the guest.

A long time ago, in the south of this peninsula, there were three tribal alliances ruled by Mahan, Chen Han and Benhan. Among them, Mahan was the most powerful and was supported by Sanhan as King Chen and commanded the land of Sanhan.

However, later, a Fuyu tribe from Liaodong, Central Plains went south to establish the Baekje Kingdom. The most powerful Slu tribe in Chen and South Korea unified Chen and established the Silla Kingdom. Benhan gradually merged into the Gaya Kingdom, and was later annexed by Silla.

During the Western Han Dynasty, the three Hans also had close contacts in the Central Plains dynasties. Among them, Chen and Han were even called Qin and Han because of their language, titles, and artifacts that were very similar to the Qin Dynasty.

There was once recorded in the Three Kingdoms Religion that in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Han was strong at that time, and many people from Liaodong flowed into South Korea. This is the earliest record of the Central Plains calling South Korea on the Sanhan Peninsula.

There are three countries on the peninsula today, with Baekje and Silla to the south and Goguryeo to the north. But Baekje and Goguryeo were both branches of the Fuyu Kingdom, but Baekje is a fusion of the Fuyu people and Mahan, but Goguryeo never regards itself as a three-Korean.

Their biggest goal is to wipe out the Sanhan Peninsula and destroy Silla and Baekje. In recent years, the Three Kingdoms have also frequently fought, which is common.

"Captain Li, as long as you continue to transport Middle-earth silk porcelain tea, sugar wine, books and papers to us, we can catch as many as the three Han slaves you want." The manager patted his chest and promised. Compared to the beautiful three Han girls, these three Han young and strong men were better at it.

The captain agreed with a smile, but sighed in his heart. When the head of the family led the sea boat to start climbing the coast of Goguryeo, such a profitable maritime trade in Goguryeo would end.
