Chapter 880 Two million taels to buy Jeju Island?(1/2)

For thousands of years, it has been a tacit practice for the vassal states around China to feed the wool of China.

Even not only vassal states, but also the chieftains of Yunnan and Guizhou were always thinking about how to pick up wool from the court.

If you make a few good horses, you can get a large amount of silk, cloth, tea, porcelain and other rewards from the court.

If this thing hadn't been done every day, these people would have been lying on China like maggots.

Among them, Goryeo is one of the best.

Because when Li Chenggui established the New Goryeo, it was completed under the witness or control of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty court also treated Goryeo particularly preferentially for the past 200 years.

Li Yu is already in his fifties and nearly sixty years old. He has experienced the graceful era in the middle and late period of Wanli Ye, and has a more thorough understanding of how delicious the wool of the Ming Dynasty is.

This is true for wool, let alone mutton?

Although Xu Changqing in front of him was different from many Ming officials he had contacted, he was more realistic and cunning, he still couldn't escape this convention.

This made Li Ni find traditional self-confidence in a subtle way, and suppressed his excitement and excitement in his heart, "Madam, I don't know which island your father's friend has liked? As long as it is within the scope of my Goryeo, I Goryeo will do my best."

Here, we need to mention the concept of territory a little.

A long time ago, a great sage from China proposed: "All under the world is the king's land. Anyone who is the king's minister is the king's minister."

But the rest of the world is quite vague about territory at this time.

Apart from some plump and plump lands, some wildernesses are worthless at all, and no one will take a fancy to them.

Not to mention this time, even in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, before oil was discovered, the Arabian Peninsula was a remote countryside, and the colonists were too lazy to take a look. Even the local Tu people were tired of it and wanted to change places at all times.

In such a large peninsula, the population may be less than six figures.

It was not until after World War II that national consciousness awakened and the territory became valuable.

Goryeo was deeply influenced by China and still attached great importance to its territory. However, at this time, Li Gui could even sell his wife and children in Goryeo, let alone a mere desert island.

The only thing to consider is the price!

"this……"

Zheng Chagu couldn't understand Xu Changqing's thoughts, so he bit his red lips and thought.

Xu Changqing said at this time: "Cha Gu, what does that friend of your father mean? Does he have any more accurate needs?"

Xu Changqing has said this to this point, how could Zheng Chagu not understand what Xu Changqing meant?

He hurriedly said, "How to say it, it's better to be bigger and have a slightly better condition. It doesn't matter if the population is not. As for the money, don't worry too much. As long as the money is worth it, I think my uncle is still happy to pay the money."

"Greater, better conditions?"

Xu Changqing deliberately repeated this concept.

Li Nai and Li Jing's nerves also mentioned the climax.

"Bang."

Xu Changqing suddenly slapped his forehead hard and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you see this matter is a mess. It's not a big deal for us to guess here. I wonder if the king has ever brought a map?"

"this……"

Li Nei and Li Jing were both a little stunned. How could they know that they would sell land here to feed the wool from the Ming Dynasty?

Li Jue could only say dryly: "Mr. Marquis, this is not taken for the time being. However, if Marquis needs it, I can send someone to pick it up overnight."

Xu Changqing smiled and said, "It's not necessary. There are maps in our army, including you Goryeo. I'm afraid that the king will not trust me."

"hehe."

Li Nei smiled dryly and said, "Mr. Marquis is joking. You are a hero who is righteous. How can I not believe you? Even if you use your map, it is."

Not long

, The map was taken, and the situation became intuitive all of a sudden.

However, I don’t know if it was Xu Changqing’s deliberate behavior or something. This is the sub-large map, and the proportion is a bit awkward.

On this, Goryeo's territory is very large, like a wriggling fat maggot, but the surrounding islands are very small, including Jeju Island.

Li Nai and Li Jing also saw something wrong, but they thought it was a relationship between the model army's combat map, so they didn't care too much. On the contrary, they were a little excited that the map of Goryeo was so big.

It should be noted that although Goryeo has a map, it is absolutely impossible to reach the level of the Model Army.

It is no exaggeration to say that if you compare it, the map of the Korean people is a junior high school student who has just learned to draw, at most it is a high school student. The map of the Model Jun is at least at the graduate level of the Department of Oil Painting and Sculpture of the Academy of Fine Arts.

With tacit understanding with Xu Changqing, Zheng Chagu pointed out several small islands near the Shandong Peninsula, but they were all rejected by Xu Changqing.

The reasons are all kinds of, such as being too small, not a scene, or being too close to the area controlled by the Qing Dynasty, which is unsafe.

Inadvertently, Zheng Chagu pointed his jade hand to the direction of Jeju Island.

Li Nei and Li Jing were both stunned, and then they even praised Jeju Island as if they were injected with chicken blood and were dead, and they made Jeju Island a paradise.

Seeing that Xu Changqing was still dissatisfied, Li Wu said dryly: "Marty, this is already the largest island in my Goryeo, and it can definitely be safe from the area controlled by the Hulu. If that adult can buy this Jeju Island, I am willing to give him another 3,000 people."

Xu Changqing frowned and said, "Your Majesty, this island is good, but it's too close to Japan? You must also know the Japanese pirate rebellion in the early years. I heard some news that Japan is in chaos now and is fighting everywhere. If the Japanese pirates come across the sea again, wouldn't this island be in danger?"

"this……"

Li Jue swallowed his saliva.

Li Jing next to him was busy patting his chest and ensuring that he said bluntly that Goryeo would protect the safety of Jeju Island to the greatest extent.

This is obviously nonsense.

Now that Goryeo is not even as weak as a weak person, who else should he protect?

Seeing that both of them could not help but restless, like a vendor pedaling a fairy on the street, Xu Changqing suddenly said, "It would be great if he could buy this Jeju Island. King, you can select some elite troops and go to this island to practice. My model army can send some officers to give guidance. This will be able to form a strong combat power in less than three or two years."

“Um…”

Both Li Nei and Li Jing were cheered up.

Xu Changqing's statement hit their hearts a little.

If Goryeo could have a lion like a model army at this time, then would they be afraid of a Qing Tartar with bird-haired birds?

In short, they can maintain the core interests around Pyongyang, and they are not as anxious as the dogs who are now.

"Mr. Marquis, your words are very good. If this is the case, I, Gaoli, are willing to make concessions. Your face is here, at least, I will give you a 20% discount."

Li Nei gritted his teeth and said.

Zheng Chagu also understood Xu Changqing's thoughts at this time and added at the right time: "Then, Master, don't you know how much Jeju Island is worth?"

"this……"

Li Nai and Li Jing were extremely difficult, almost unable to breathe.

The most critical time is here.

Both of them wanted the lion to speak loudly, slaughter and cut off the mutton directly, but the military guidance that Xu Changqing mentioned here was really difficult for them to make a decision.

Xu Changqing said at this time: "Since that man is rich and Goryeo is so difficult at this time, you can't be stingy. Besides, after that man bought this island, can the king lose his benefits? Not bad, there are thousands or hundreds of Goryeo beauties, so just say he can give it? Cha Gu, be more generous. We also want to have a meal."

"Yes, yes, that's all a little bit."

Li Nei and Li Jing nodded quickly.

"this……"

Zheng Chagu hurriedly became entangled and frowned.

Li Nei and Li Jing looked at each other and were almost at the critical point.

Originally, they all thought that Xu Changqing was in such a big circle and wanted to buy Jeju Island by himself, but judging from his appearance at this time, it was obvious that Xu Changqing wanted to "take kickbacks" in it.

In this world, how can there be anyone who takes his own kickbacks? That's not a fool.

They also gradually relaxed a little.

With people like Xu Changqing in charge, it seems that things have been for sure. Now, it depends on whether Xu Changqing will have mercy on them.

At this time, Xu Changqing pretended to be thinking for a while and said directly: "Cha Gu, don't stop Moji. What's the matter with the rich man? At a price, he bought two million taels of cash in the Jeju Island!"

"Two, two million taels..."

Li Nei and Li Jing were almost cracked...

What is the concept of two million taels?

Since Goryeo was controlled by the Qing Dynasty, the silver that the country entered the treasury every year was only 200,000 to 300,000 taels when it was better, and in a few years it was even only 100,000 taels. It was not enough to maintain the whole court to eat, drink, defecate and urinate.

Who would have thought that if there were less than a few thousand or hundreds of villagers selling this broken island like bird-haired one, Xu Changqing actually offered a price of 2 million taels...

What aspiration is this?

How wanton!

No wonder, no wonder Xu Changqing has climbed here all the way in just a few years, and even the Qing Dynasty is so arrogant that he has repeatedly suffered from it.

His methods, such ordinary people, are beyond the reach of...

"Two, two million taels? This is too much, right?"

Zheng Chagu was frightened at this time and looked at Xu Changqing with some difficulty.
To be continued...
