Don't panic when traveling through the late Ming Dynasty, just go to Liangjian and buy a machin

Settle Lao Chen, Ding Wei and others down.

Mao Wenlong returned to his own mansion.

There was a small figure waiting for him.

After seeing Mao Wenlong come back.

He said politely, "My son has met his father."

It turned out to be that little figure.

It was Mao Wenlong’s son Mao Chengdou.

Mao Chengdou was born in 1620 and is almost 10 years old now.

Usually with Geng Zhongming's son Geng Jimao.

There were also other children of similar age among the generals in the army.

They studied reading and writing, practiced martial arts, and learned military tactics together in the school.

Mao Wenlong and his generals were very busy.

These little guys simply live in the school.

There are special people who are responsible for their food, daily life, and various aspects of teaching...

Mao Wenlong: "Chengdou is back? How is the school doing recently?"

Mao Chengdou: "Everything is fine in the school, and I haven't fallen behind in my studies. The school is closed for two days, and I want to go see my cousin. Please allow me, father..."

Cousin?

Mao Wenlong was stunned for a moment.

Only then did I realize that my son was talking about Shen Xibi.

Ever since I sent my cousin Shen Xibi away.

Mao Wenlong had already forgotten the existence of this person.

Mao Wenlong really didn't have any good feelings towards his cousin Shen Xibi.

I feel that they are similar to the scholars and civil servants in the Ming Dynasty.

On the surface, he appears polite and elegant.

In fact, he is full of bad intentions.

This is also because Mao Wenlong did not arrange any good position for him.

Instead, he was made to be a grassroots official...

But Mao Chengdou wanted to see Shen Xibi.

Then why not go and take a look together.

Let’s see how Shen Xibi performs as a grassroots official?

Mao Wenlong: "Okay, I'll have someone accompany you there tomorrow."

Mao Chengdou: "Thank you very much, father. Please go to bed early. I am going to read a book."

Mao Wenlong: "Well, go ahead!"

……

After Mao Chengdou left.

Mao Wenlong fell into deep thought alone.

This time Mao Wen and Mao Chengdou are going to see Shen Xibi.

After all, it was Mao Chengdou's own idea.

Or did someone say something to him?

If it is the child's own wish, he wants to go and see his cousin.

Of course there is no problem with that.

But if the Shen family wants to play tricks.

He wanted to use Mao Chengdou to draw his attention to Shen Xibi.

That’s another matter!

Then Mao Wenlong thought again that Mao Chengdou was now his only son.

Judging from the current situation.

Mao Chengdou is his future successor.

Some people placed bets on Mao Chengdou in advance.

This is entirely possible.

And as Mao Wenlong's power continued to grow.

This kind of thing will become inevitable in the future.

But Mao Chengdou was still young, and it was impossible for Mao Wenlong to keep him around to teach him often.

In order to avoid anyone leading Mao Chengdou astray.

Everyone who appears around Mao Chengdou in the future.

You have to figure out the origin and purpose.

Therefore, Mao Wenlong prepared to set up a secret service agency.

However, there is no suitable candidate to be the head of this secret agency at the moment!

Mao Wenlong had many talented generals who were good at charging into battle.

But there seems to be no one suitable for intelligence work.

There are still too few talents and obviously not enough manpower!

So Mao Wenlong thought about it.

Why not just go to the Ming Dynasty and poach some talents here?

Anyway, Emperor Chongzhen would not use talented people.

It would be a waste to leave the talent to him...

……

The next morning.

Mao Wenlong only brought a few guards with him.

Accompany Mao Chengdou to see Shen Xibi.

This can also be considered an incognito visit.

Mao Wenlong also wanted to understand the real situation in the local area.

Mao Chenglu brought other security guards with him.

Disguised as various identities, they scattered around Mao Wenlong and his companions, some near and some far away...

After leaving Seoul.

Heading towards the southwest.

Chongsil, where my cousin Sim Hee-pil lives, is just southwest of Seoul...

Mao Wenlong traveled incognito.

He also did not notify his subordinates in advance.

So when we arrived at the Han River.

Just like ordinary passers-by, you need to cross the river by ferry.

But the ferry on the river is very busy.

There is a slightly larger tavern near the pier.

Mao Wenlong took his men there to take a rest.

"Sir, please take a seat. Would you like to drink wine or tea?" the waiter greeted warmly.

Mao Wenlong: "Give me a pot of tea!"

Waiter: "Okay, please wait a moment."

The waiter's movements were very efficient.

A pot of tea and teacups were quickly brought over.

The security guard calmly checked the tea to see if there was any problem.

After confirming that there was no problem, he nodded slightly to Mao Wenlong.

Mao Wenlong then picked up the teacup and took a sip.

The taste of the tea is not great, but it is not particularly bad either.

Mao Wenlong asked, "Waiter, this tea of ​​yours comes from the Ming Dynasty, right?"

"Sir, you are right. Our tea leaves are all shipped from Ming Dynasty. They are guaranteed to be of high quality."

Mao Wenlong: "From your accent, you should be from the Ming Dynasty, right?"

The waiter said: "Hey, that's right. I can hardly survive in my hometown. I heard that I can make a living here, so I followed people to the Korean Peninsula."

Mao Wenlong: "How do you feel after coming here?"

The waiter said: "Sir, you want to do business here, right?"

Mao Wenlong: "Oh, how did you figure that out?"

The waiter said: "Because we are close to Seoul and by the dock, we often see people like you.

I tell you, you came to the right place! As long as you pay the taxes you should pay when doing business here, no one will bother you.

No one comes to ask for money, as long as you do business peacefully, you will definitely make money..."

Mao Wenlong: "So, there are quite a few people coming from the Ming Dynasty to do business?"

The waiter: "Of course! If everyone knows that it's easy to do business here and can make money, they will definitely be willing to come..."

Mao Wenlong chatted with the shop assistant.

Wait until the ferry arrives.

Then he got up and left...

The policies implemented by Mao Wenlong on the Korean Peninsula.

It is relatively friendly to law-abiding businessmen.

This has attracted many people to do business, including many people like waiters.

Come to the Korean Peninsula to make a living.

As for the original merchants of the Korean Peninsula.

With those landlords and officials.

It had long been cleaned up by Zheng Fengshou and his men.

As for the rest of the ordinary people.

They were all gathered together and turned into laborers on farms and in various workshops.

——The kind of labor that does not have wages.

Mao Wenlong and his men originally had more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, as well as their family members and relatives.

There are more than 20 people.

During this period, a large number of them came from Liaodong.

Also rescued were Han people from Liaodong who had escaped on their own.

The total number is about 10.

There are now more than 30 Han Chinese on the Korean Peninsula, and the number is approaching 40.

A market of hundreds of thousands of people.

Naturally, a lot of vendors of various kinds are needed.

Smart and bold people will seize the opportunity to make money.

This policy was implemented by Mao Wenlong.

The intention was to attract Han people from the Ming Dynasty.

To enrich the population and labor force under his rule...

After crossing the river, we walked and stopped along the way.

When I arrived at Chongshi, I met my cousin Shen Xibi.

Mao Wenlong was surprised to find that this guy had changed...
