In a daze, Liao Zhou still felt a little uncomfortable.
It felt like the hard ground beneath my feet was still shaking slightly.
At this moment, a North Korean official came forward and said hello.
"I didn't know the angel came from afar!"
"If you miss the welcome from afar, you really miss the welcome from afar!"
Liao Zhou glanced at the North Korean official who appeared in front of him and just said.
"I am here under the orders of the Emperor of Heaven to be an envoy to North Korea!"
North Korean officials spoke.
"Please come to the angels of heaven!"
"The lower official has prepared a reception hall for Lord Angel and sent someone to report the news to Seoul."
"Please take a break, sir. I believe it won't be long before the king of this country will send someone to welcome you to the capital!"
When Liao Zhou heard this, he just nodded slightly.
"Good work!"
When talking, Liao Zhou was always putting on airs.
Showing the majesty of one’s own heavenly angel!
North Korean officials are not dissatisfied at all.
In his opinion, as an angel of heaven, the gentleman in front of him came on behalf of the Son of Heaven, so he should naturally have his own majesty.
It’s the right thing to do!
If the adult in front of him had no airs at all and got along with him, he would feel uneasy.
The Koreans watching the excitement all around looked at Liao Zhou, who was surrounded by the crowd in the center, and kept exclaiming in surprise.
"Your Majesty, you are so majestic!"
"Lord Angel's clothes are so beautiful!"
"It's so awesome. Even the county governor needs to go and greet the angel. I want to be so majestic in the future!"
"Those soldiers are so tall and strong, and the clothes they wear are so cool!"
The guards around Liao Zhou were all elites drawn from the Ming army.
They were wearing breastplates and carrying muskets, so majestic!
Especially the kind of murderous aura that rushes towards the face, unique to soldiers, is even more heartbreaking!
The merchants and common people of North Korea have seen nothing but rotten soldiers from North Korea in the past. How have they ever seen such murderous elite soldiers?
Just looking into the eyes of these Ming army soldiers, they felt full of murderous intent.
…
Liao Zhou was arranged to rest in a posthouse in Incheon City.
Merchants on the Incheon dock also officially started trading, and North Korean workers swarmed forward, vying for job opportunities.
The sailors of the Ming Dynasty commanded the laborers of North Korea to carry a large amount of goods from the ships!
Cotton cloth, sugar, porcelain, silk, tea, hardware products...as well as various Ming Dynasty specialties such as perfume, soap, clocks, and glass products were carried to the dock.
North Korean businessmen also brought their own goods and gathered towards the dock.
The two sides spontaneously formed a market and started trading.
North Korean merchants spoke broken Chinese and sold their goods to Ming merchants.
Because North Koreans admire and yearn for the Ming Dynasty, there is no shortage of goods from the Ming Dynasty in North Korea.
As popular as the Korean slaves in the Ming Dynasty!
Li Weiliang and Zhao Yuanwei stood together. They looked at each other and Li Weiliang said.
"Executive member Zhao, how are you preparing the goods this time?"
Member Zhao held out three fingers and said.
"Three thousand men and women in their prime, not one of them is missing!"
"Basically, they are young and strong high-quality laborers. Among them are many family members of criminal officials who were assigned by the king of the country. These people are all literate."
As for what characters I know, of course they are Chinese characters!
As the biological son of the Ming Dynasty, North Korea has the highest degree of Sinicization among the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, if not the highest.
Most of North Korea’s top dignitaries understand Chinese!
For North Korean senior officials, Chinese is the language they use to communicate with each other.
Korean, on the other hand, is just a thing for the low-class untouchables, and no dog can learn it!
Levi nodded and said.
"That's good!"
"Excuse me, Mr. Zhao is out!"
When Zhao Yuanwai saw this, he nodded slightly and then asked.
"Has Mr. Li's goods arrived?"
Levi nodded and said.
"That's natural. The goods of my Li family, whether they are porcelain, silk, or perfumed tea, are all tributes from the royal family!"
"Quality and quality are guaranteed!"
The two looked at each other and laughed.
After that, Li Weiliang took Yuan Zhao to inspect the goods.
Along the way, the two walked side by side, and Zhao Yuanwai asked curiously.
"As an imperial merchant of the Ming Dynasty, does Mr. Li know the purpose of sending angels to Korea this time?"
When Li Weiliang heard this, he laughed and said.
"I don't know either!"
"Even though my Li family has the reputation of being an imperial merchant, to put it bluntly, I'm just a businessman, and I can't get involved in the court."
"The purpose of angels coming to North Korea is not what I, a businessman, would talk about."
Don't say that Li Weiliang didn't know Liao Zhou's purpose of coming to North Korea. Even if he knew, he would definitely not say anything.
Although he and Zhao Yuanwai are old acquaintances, the two parties have cooperated several times.
But he didn’t know much about Yuan Zhao’s background!
Although on the surface, Zhao Yuanwai is the white glove of Fengyang Zhao family, but in fact it is hard to tell.
Who knows what the relationship between Zhao Yuanwai, or the Zhao family in Fengyang, is with the Manchus in the north?
Li Weiliang was able to bring his business to its current level because he was able to handle many things clearly.
…
North Korea, Wang Jing Seoul!
Seoul is not far from Incheon. It is a hundred or two hundred miles away. If you hurry up, you can make the trip in an hour or two.
The official ship of the Ming Dynasty had just arrived in Incheon, and there were fast horses to deliver a message to Seoul.
On the same day, King Yi Bi of North Korea received the news that the Great Tomorrow Angel had arrived in North Korea.
He was certainly a little panicked and summoned the prince of Korea and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to discuss matters.
After everyone arrived at the Joseon Palace, Joseon King Li Di expressed his worries with some fear.
"The Ming Dynasty sent angels to Korea. Is it because the Ming Dynasty wants to accuse me?"
Li Di was unwilling to accept North Korea's betrayal of the Ming Dynasty and its recognition of the Manchu Qing Dynasty as its suzerainty.
Now that the Ming Dynasty has returned, he feels even more guilty.
If the Ming Dynasty sent people to North Korea to question him, Li Di would have no choice but to abdicate early and let the crown prince inherit the throne due to the Ming Dynasty's huge influence on North Korea.
Nowadays, most of the officials in North Korea are pro-Ming faction.
There aren’t many pro-Qing factions at all!
Cui Xiangyou, the leader of North Korea's left-wing political affairs committee, heard this and stood up and said.
"Your Majesty, please be at ease. We have heard that the current Emperor of Heaven has a very tolerant character. He does not care about the past of those ministers who once surrendered to captivity, and can still put them to good use."
"That's why we can restore the Ming Dynasty in just a few years!"
"I think that when the Emperor of Heaven sends an envoy this time, it's not because he wants to question the King of Sins."
"Otherwise, what comes is not the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, but the fleet of the Ming Dynasty!"
