Goryeo, Tamna, Zhoucheng, Beigang Township.

"Scribe Wu, you came to see me so early today, what's the matter?"

Seeing Wu Laoshi, the scribe in front of him, and a few men whom he had never met, standing respectfully in the hall waiting for his inquiry, Yuan Dagui gently put down the pipe in his mouth, and then took a sip from the teacup in hand After taking a sip of hot tea, he was satisfied and asked the reason why several people came to find him!This guy was from a disabled soldier, and he usually likes to be straightforward, but he doesn't like to talk like a literati. After talking for a long time, he doesn't know what others are talking about!Therefore, after seeing his subordinates bring a few young people into his signing room, he immediately went straight to the point and asked everyone why they came. When Wu Laoshi heard his superior's question, he didn't dare to neglect it immediately, but just thought about it a little bit in his heart. Organize your language, and start talking in front of your boss!

"Lord Lizheng, I came to visit you with a few brothers today, and I really need to report something to you face to face..."

"Oh, since that's the case, I will listen to Wu Shuli's high opinion today! Come, come, you are guests from afar, please find a place to sit down first! Come here, and make a pot of tea! Remember, The tea should be the best tea that our Chiyang bought from Shandong, so don’t use some tea stalks to fool people..."

"Lord Lizheng, you treat us so courteously, the villain is really terrified! But let's talk about the matter first, it's not too late to drink tea later! Recently, the villain once went to a shop in the village to buy pork, and used it In hospitality, I accidentally discovered a situation and felt that it was a big deal, so I immediately came back to report to you without stopping! I hope you can pay attention to it, otherwise, it will be too late to regret when mass incidents happen in the future ..."

"Oh, what can make you worry about it? Let's just say it bluntly. You and I are not outsiders. If it is true, I will report the truth to the state government and even the town guard..."

Seeing Wu Laoshi's face full of worry, veteran Yuan Dagui frowned!It's not that he doesn't know the nature of the former, making this guy say such words and show such expressions, it shows that he has really discovered something, and he has nothing else to deal with right now, so he might as well listen to what he has. Goodbye!

"My lord, I don't know if you have noticed that we are currently short of meat, vegetables, and other daily necessities in the market. The price of pork that sells for twenty cents a catty in Daming has doubled in our Tamna. And a catty of mutton that only sold for ten Wen in Korea came to Tamna, and the traders dared to sell it at a high price of Thirty Wen! Just like this, sometimes you can’t buy enough things with copper coins. If things go on like this, it will be very long It may affect our economy and people's livelihood in Chiyang! After all, people can't just eat food and not meat..."

"Well, I've also heard about this, but when our farm was newly built, it was not yet able to sell cheap pork, sheep and beef to the people, and the meat that Daming shipped to us was cut off for one reason or another. Time after time, coming and going is a pain for the people under our rule! However, all of this is short-lived, as long as the farms produce large-scale livestock, or the sea routes are opened up, there will be a steady stream of meat put into the market, and At the same time, their prices will be greatly reduced accordingly! In short, the same sentence, it will take time!"

"My lord, since that's the case, why don't we consider the local livestock in Korea? As long as we obtain a stable local supply, the price of meat will still be greatly reduced! After all, the Koreans have a large number of livestock in their hands. Can you get a steady stream of meat?"

Looking at Lizheng Yuan Dagui with a serious face, Wu Laoshi tried to come up with his own solution!In his opinion, instead of raising livestock by himself, or obtaining meat from Ming Dynasty, it is better to use his brains from the aborigines of Korea!Tamna, er, no, this big island that used to be called Jeju has a lot of pastures, a lot of high-quality pastures in the true sense!And there are tens of thousands of livestock living on it, as long as they become their own, no matter using force or money, they can solve the current dilemma of shortage of meat and even basic living materials!However, he did not expect that after listening to his suggestion, a smile appeared on Yuan Dagui's originally extremely serious face, a smile that seemed very gratifying!In his opinion, although the young man in front of him didn't see things very clearly and spoke without consideration, he had a good spirit of courage to do things!So, in order to encourage Wu honestly, so that he can make persistent efforts in the days to come, this guy slowly raised the teacup in his hand, replaced the wine with tea, and offered a toast to his subordinate!

"Brother, things are not as simple as you think! First of all, since our army occupied Jingyi County and drove out the Li Zhenqing gang, the Koreans began to adopt a non-violent and non-cooperative attitude towards us! If you don't use force, believe us It's hard to get anything from them, even if the new Jeju inspector Kim Kyung-won stands up and speaks out for our Chiyang, we still can't open any situation! These damn Koryo sticks, they still treat us as Invaders like Japanese pirates, as long as they look for an opportunity, they will try their best to make us unhappy! Sometimes I really don’t understand why the guardian envoys don’t use force against them to drive these stick forces out of our territory... "

"My lord, since the method of using force is not feasible for the time being, why don't we consider using our economic brains and let those stubborn Korean sticks take the initiative to hand over the supplies and livestock in their hands to us!"

After listening to his Shangguan's words, Wu Laoshi pondered over and over again, and finally came up with an idea before the tea in the cup completely cooled down!And if this idea is implemented well, it will not only be able to obtain a large amount of urgently needed livestock and supplies in the market, but also ease the tension with the Koreans to a large extent!I believe that with Yuan Dagui's knowledge, he should be able to understand his meaning soon, and then react accordingly!At that time, with this foundation of credit, I will be able to completely secure my position as an official scribe, and even, if Yuan Dagui is strong enough, I will be able to climb up another level and become a state government official with real power. official!

"Oh, since Brother Wu has something brilliant to say, then Yuan will listen to it! Don't worry, if you have something to say and can help Chiyang solve the problem of shortage of supplies, then I will fight this old face and don't want it. I beg you for a state government official to come back and do it!"

Hearing that Yuan Dagui offered generous terms, Wu Laoshi smiled even wider!The elder of my own family was born in the chief's confidant Yabing. Although he usually looks indifferent, if he really wants to find a relationship, it is still possible to promote a person to the state government to be a low-level pawn. Can do it!And since he opened his mouth and made a promise today, he will definitely not regret it when things come true in the future!Thinking that one day he would be able to wear a blue shirt and be honored as a master, Wu Laoshi was so excited that his breathing almost became thicker!

You must know that this is not a temporary official of the township office that I am in charge of, but a managerial official who is recognized and paid by the town guard.How many people have spent their entire lives in poverty, tried all the tricks, and Lin Lao couldn't get one. Today, Yuan Dagui opened his mouth to pay him as a pawn, which shows his sincerity!So, this fellow took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then began to express his thoughts in an unhurried tone!

"My lord, since Goryeo is on guard against us and even resists us, and it is inconvenient for us to use force to force them to be obedient, then there seems to be only one solution left, to lure them! We can send capable men, Under the leadership of Korean naturalized people who are familiar with the terrain and the people's sentiments, they entered the aboriginal villages and found the farmers for face-to-face transactions! At first, we can set the price higher, so that those sticky people can take advantage of the transaction, and make them feel It’s a good idea to do business with us! Then, we recruited eloquent naturalized people to infiltrate Goryeo villages, and spread the word to those Goryeo landlords and rich peasants that we have purchased a large amount of supplies from the outside world, and livestock entered the Tamna market to stabilize prices, and There are rumors of different scales of swine fever and rinderpest in various places! As a result, serious panic and riots will occur among the people who have livestock resources in their hands! After all, although they raise cattle and sheep, they cannot eat cattle and sheep all at once. They still need a lot of food to fill their stomachs! And this gives us an excellent opportunity, anyway, the connection between Tamna and Goryeo has been cut off by us, and there is no other way for the people of Bangzi to obtain food! At that time, We only need to raise the price of grain, so why not worry about those gangsters in Korea who don’t exchange their hard-working cattle, sheep, pigs and chickens for our grain! Also, the salt and iron needed by the latter must be strictly controlled. At that time, we will let those who refuse to cooperate among them have no salt to eat and no iron tools to use! If things go on like this, it will not take long before the Korean people's resistance will be completely disintegrated by us..."

Boo Boo Boo, taking advantage of the attention of everyone in the room to focus on him, Wu Laoshi said a long paragraph in one breath, and then without waiting for his Shangguan Yuan Dagui to make any reaction, this fellow drank it all in one go After drinking the tea in the teacup, he continued,

"In addition, we can also take the opportunity to win over a group of Korean civilians for my use, thereby weakening the number of resistance elements among the aborigines, making them a minority in the true sense, and reducing the difficulty for us to completely wipe them out..."

"Very good, brother Wu, what you said is very good! Enter the aboriginal villages and directly find farmers to buy livestock to solve our urgent needs; then, strictly control the grain, salt and iron, and force the aborigines to bow to us by inflating prices, and then Completely become our livestock supplier! In this way, we can smoothly control those Goryeo aborigines with different aspirations, and ease the difficulty for us to rule Tamna in Chiyang..."
