The victory of the trade war lies not only in itself, but also in the "armed struggle".
There is never a weak winner in a trade war.
No matter how big or fat a sheep is, it will always be eaten because it has no sharp teeth to protect itself.
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi), who traveled through the past as a later generation, understands this better.
The black land in the Northeast has become a major grain-producing area due to the arrival of improved rice varieties, and it has also become a place for various forces to watch and covet.
"Big fat meat" always attracts all kinds of ferocious animals to attack.
This is also the reason why Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) has taken a clear stand from the very beginning and used the "Northeast Army" armed to the teeth to escort the seedlings into the farmland; during harvesting, the "Northeast Army" is even more like a formidable enemy...
It sends this signal: Don't mess with me, do business with me, I am strong.
"The demons and monsters from all walks of life have arrived, and we are always ready to fight!" Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) made an impassioned speech at the Northeast Army mobilization meeting, and the generals and sergeants below looked at each other.
What's going on? A big war is going to happen again?
It shouldn't be. There is a great harvest of food, and there are so many merchants coming from north to south... Even red-haired ghosts, Japanese and Koreans have sent business groups here.
Whenever we meet, we always bow our hands in a friendly manner, as being kind brings wealth.
The red-haired ghost army was about to retreat to the ice and snow in the north. The Korean company sent five groups of envoys, the focus of which was to explain to the Qing Dynasty that the Koreans who had been encircled and suppressed by the "Little God of War" Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) were not the same.
He is not an official, but belongs to a bandit organization.
Five groups of envoys came to see the Governor of Northeast China first, but Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) drove them away very simply.
Foreign affairs are mainly managed by the Ministry of Rites and the Lifan Yuan. What do you mean by coming here instead of going to the capital?
Besides, "Those who offend China will be punished no matter how far away", let alone those who are close at hand.
Do you believe that I am going to ask the imperial court for instructions to send my troops south and drive you from this big little peninsula to the sea?
What? The leader is named Syngman Rhee? Or a little prince?
During the war to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea, wasn't the president of the puppet South Korea named Syngman Rhee?
Why did you come here?
Then fight it out!
What?
Delivered sacks of diamonds?
Well, you can have this.
However, "rituals are always accepted, but things are not done", this is the old rule of the Governor of Northeast China.
More than ten sacks of diamonds have been collected several times, but no one from the Korean mission has even seen the governor of Northeast China.
But I finally met the governor’s wife.
A woman who is as graceful and luxurious as the silver moon, with such an elegant temperament that people dare not look directly at her.
Syngman Rhee is a short, hunchbacked man. He is wearing an official uniform imitating that of Prince Yin Hong from the Ming Dynasty and wearing thick official boots. He looks like a giant monkey.
There is no need to kneel down. When you stand and salute, it feels like you are kneeling down.
"Good luck to the Governor's wife..." Syngman Rhee spoke Chinese very fluently.
"No need to be polite, please take a seat, Prince. The Governor has been busy with official duties recently. Since Your Excellency, the Prince, represents the Queen Mother of your dynasty, it is not rude for me to receive you. How do you do to the Queen Mother, how do you do to the Emperor, and how do you do to the common people of your dynasty?"
My husband said that I can give you more diamond-like stones..."
Syngman Rhee could only smile bitterly, is this "stone"?
This is a gem!
"Madam, these are not stones, they are treasures that can be polished into the best jewelry and will last forever."
"A stone is a stone, it can't be changed...can it be used as food?" Baochai's sneer fell directly from her face to the ground, but it seemed that her hands betrayed herself, and she kept fingering the diamonds in the brocade box with her fingers.
The necklace...shines with colorful light and is really beautiful...
In Rhee's eyes, the look of this elegant and elegant lady is as annoying as possible... and it's also extremely fake!
However, there is no way. This year's grain harvest has failed by more than 40%, and the people are hungry... There is another important reason. "Pirates" are now rampant in Korean waters. The Korean fishing boats disappear as soon as they hit the sea, including the boats and people.
All were robbed.
Nian Tuyao once said: Wherever my sea-going ships go, there is a "sea ban" and no one is allowed to enter the sea!
I heard that the biggest pirate is called "Nian Tuyao", and he is the great apprentice of the Governor...
In addition to coming to buy food, there is another important task, which is to beg the Governor of Northeast China to lift the "sea ban"!
When the conversation came to this point, Syngman Rhee simply risked his life and said, "Madam, the Queen Mother is willing to use our King Kong Mountain as collateral to purchase five million tons of grain from the Governor. Please also lift the maritime ban."
"As for the maritime ban, the Governor said that we need to investigate clearly first...it will only take three to five months..."
Syngman Rhee was so angry that in three to five months, the people of Korea were starving to death... He was so angry that he rolled his eyes!
"As for the matter of food..." Baochai ignored the "hunchback"'s rolling eyes and continued, "Prince, you know that although there seems to be a lot of food on the market now and its circulation is very high, the imperial court has clearly stated
According to regulations, grain is not allowed to be sold overseas..."
Hearing this, Rhee's heart went cold.
"However, buying and selling is not allowed. You can give them to each other. For example, if your court sends us hundreds of bags of these stones, it would be indecent to come and go. Of course we can give the Queen Mother five million tons of rice... Of course, Mount Kumgang will also have to be given to us.
Let us mine for five years, just five years, without suffering any losses!"
Hearing this again, Rhee Chengman breathed a sigh of relief.
The main purpose of his visit this time was food. Once this important matter was solved, everything else was no longer a problem.
An hour later, in the mansion of Deputy Governor Li Guangdi at the east end of the city, Li Guangdi took a secret letter and said to Nalan Xingde who was standing beside him: "The governor's wife took action. Although this move is not classy, it is still passable.
.”
Nalan Xingde also smiled and said: "Currently, the biggest problem in the Northeast seems to be that there is too much food, which is all backlogged. The Governor of the Northeast is actively thinking of ways to sell food... Mr. Xiao Jia was really anxious at the meeting yesterday. In order to
To solve the problem of grain backlog, we even require every official to buy enough grain for one and a half years at home... It’s just a small amount of money.”
"Aren't there more than 20 grain merchants from Mongolia and the northwest? They have a lot of money in their hands... Maybe this is an excellent opportunity for the Governor... Let Huang Ji really tell the people
Release grain, add fuel to the fire, and let the price of grain drop by another 20%... The purpose is to make Mr. Xiao Jia anxious and sell most of the grain out first!"
"It seems that the emperor has planned a back-up plan. This time, Mr. Xiao Jia will be doomed, right?"
In the study room of the Governor's Mansion, Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) is looking at a map with Daiyu and Miaoyu.
Daiyu was pointing on the map with a piece of green bamboo, "The northwest will not harvest all grains this year, but the government's intelligence said that the production will be reduced by 30%; in Tibet and Qinghai, the highland barley is bought up, and the government's intelligence is that the production will be reduced by 20%;
The same is true here in Mongolia... In other words, at this time, someone is setting up such a plan to transfer all the grain to the high-yield areas, while the poor-harvest areas will not get a grain of grain... What do the people planning it want to do? "
"Why don't you just ask the Empress Dowager and the Emperor what they are doing..." Miaoyu said.
Yes, for such a "big move", the entire imperial court was used to make a plan. Only the Empress Dowager and the Emperor had this ability.
