It's not a dark place to kill, but a sea of blood is real.

The house slave guards brought by nearly three hundred and two classes of ministers had little power to fight back.

The common people who supported Wei Bao couldn't talk about helping, shouting and cheering, and there were also domestic slaves who gathered on the side to beat and scold these ministers of the two shifts.

Although it is a sea of blood, it is very abnormally not very bloody, and even a little joyful scene, if you don't look at the wolf-like Baojun and the Statistical Bureau's side, relying on the North Koreans' side, it is a bit like a kindergarten activity, a kindergarten fight.

Therefore, there was a lot of bloodshed, but there were not many deaths, and the situation was still under control.

"Master Taifu, I want to say a few words to you alone, is it okay?" Gu Hong asked loudly.

Wei Bao is actually in a state of frenzy, he is not calm at this time, and he doesn't know what to do next, what to do, and the result of such a development is only two defeats!

That's not what Wei Boo wants.

"Yes!" Wei Bao saw that Gu Hong was talking to him alone, and he knew that things had taken a turn for the better, and this Li Lian's own uncle, the head of the Western People's Party in power, seemed to be about to come up with some dry goods and compromise with himself.

Gu Hong was allowed to get to President Wei's side, President Wei walked a few steps away and found a place at the gate of the mansion where no one was nearby to talk to Gu Hong.

"Master Taifu, what do you want? Want to kill all of us ministers? Or did you just kill His Highness as well? Do you think you'll get North Korea by killing them all? Gu Hong got straight to the point, and this time there was no diplomatic rhetoric.

"I didn't intend to do that! You guys came to mess with me first! Wei Bao didn't turn around either, "What I want is not the whole of North Korea, but the control of North Korea!" As long as you recognize my control, I can keep Yi Ju and make Ri Ju the rightful king of Joseon, and I can also keep you as the main ministers of the two classes! Let you continue to enjoy the original glory and wealth! Hwanghae-do and Gyeonggi-do, I will manage it, and the other six provinces of Korea, you can manage it yourself, and Li Ju can continue to be safe in the Seoul Palace, and everyone is safe! ”

Gu Hong smiled bitterly: "Speaking of which, Lord Taifu has made such a big detour, but he still wants to get Gyeonggi Province and Hwanghae Province?" You have already obtained it, so why should you invite Your Highness back to Seoul? ’

"If I don't invite Li Liang back to Seoul, can I get the title of Taifu? Can I stop the war between Li Liang's royal army and my treasure army? We lost both sides, and in the end the cheaper one was not still Jiannu? Wei Bao said: "Things could have developed gently, but you yourself have to adopt the most drastic way, do you blame me?" ”

Gu Hong sighed, "The stakes are so high, I can't reply to Master Taifu!" In addition, even if the Lord agrees to Master Taifu, can Master Taifu believe our verbal promise? ”

"Can't! I never believe in verbal promises! Wei Bao said: "So I myself hand over the oath that signed against the names of nearly three hundred ministers of the two classes against me!" In addition, I would like to make a decree that the management of Gyeonggi Province and Hwanghae-do Province will be handed over to the Heaven and Earth Society, and it will never be changed! Neither he nor the monarchs of his descendants shall be changed! ”

"Lord Taifu, after handing over the taxes of Gyeonggi Province and Hwanghae Province, our North Korea is equivalent to handing over more than half of the finances to Lord Taifu, are we still called North Korea? You've poached our hearts! Gu Hong said: "Master Taifu, this is forcing us to fight to the death!" I'm afraid Jiannu is not so ruthless! Do you think that if you continue to fight like this, even if you kill all the people present, you can defeat the more than 30,000 royal troops in Seoul? Also, if there really is an oath to plot to assassinate Lord Taifu, and I hand it over to Lord Taifu, isn't it equivalent to putting the lives of so many of us in the hands of Lord Taifu? Master Taifu can kill us whenever he wants, do you think it's okay? The exchanges are all reciprocal, what does Master Taifu use to prove his sincerity? ”

"I can sign a secret pact! I promise not to pursue this murder again! At the same time, I can also sign a secret pact pledging that I and the Heaven and Earth Society will never interfere in the affairs of the six provinces of Korea outside of Hwanghae Province and Gyeonggi Province. Wei Bao said.

Wei Bao really has no intention of attacking North Korea by force, he believes that as long as he allows Hwanghae Province and Gyeonggi Province to develop the semi-feudal and semi-capitalist system he wants, which proves to be far stronger than the other six provinces of North Korea, at that time, the other six provinces do not need to attack, and they will be attached to Hwanghae Province and Gyeonggi Province one after another.

What's more, he is the wife of North Korea, he still belongs to the court of North Korea, he is not a hostile force, he has captured the hearts of the Korean people, and he can slowly grasp the entire North Korean officialdom, and he can slowly control the entire North Korean political situation, in this case, what is the difference between it and taking it by force?

Wei Bao doesn't care about fame! Didn't want to be the king of North Korea in name.

As long as he can control the whole of North Korea, whether he is the king of North Korea or not, what difference does it make to Wei Bao?

This is not a dispute between countries, like the countries around the superpowers in later generations, which do not necessarily listen to the superpowers, and may even form hostility, even hostility for many years, there are some.

This belongs to the competition within a region, for example, after the opening up of the Chinese country, after opening up and invigorating the economy, the population of the developed areas increased geometrically, and there were no people in the poor places, so they all went to the developed areas to work, and only went home during the New Year's holiday.

If the household registration policy is relaxed in developed areas, ninety percent of the population in poor areas can be siphoned off!

Therefore, the household registration in the developed areas of later generations was tightened, not because the developed areas could not fit it, and more high-rise buildings could be built, and how many people could be fitted, mainly because they were afraid that no one in the poor areas would be willing to continue to stay.

It is this gentle routine that Wei Bao intends to use, slowly grasping the whole of North Korea in his hands.

"I can convey the meaning of Lord Taifu to His Highness, so what should I do here now?" Gu Hong asked.

"You have to show me your attitude now! Here I can stop them from doing it right now! But 500,000 taels of silver, you have to take it out! Wei Bao said.

Gu Hong sweated, "Master Taifu, when will it become 500,000 taels of silver again?" You arrested three people, isn't it one hundred thousand taels? ”

"Hong Yi and Hong Zhuyuan's father and son are two people, and Hong Yi is more than 100,000 taels, right? It has to be counted as 200,000 taels of silver. Wei Bao laughed.

Gu Hong almost didn't faint, you are doing business? He knew that he couldn't make sense with Wei Bao, and he muttered that he didn't know what to do now.

"Master Gu Hong, hurry up and decide! This is the last hope for both sides to reach a settlement! Meet someone halfway! Don't end up losing both! I'm the Taifu of North Korea, how can I say that I am my own person, it is not like this when Jiannu comes, have you been in contact with Jiannu? Jiannu is the common enemy of all of us! Wei Bao urged.

"Lord Taifu, Gyeonggi-do and Hwanghae-do are too big! Well, how about exchanging Pyongan Province and Hamgyong Province for Gyeonggi Province? The Incheon area of Gyeonggi Province is still under the management of Taefu-sama, how about it? Gu Hong bargained. While talking, he anxiously looked at the situation in the field, afraid that if he and Wei Bao delayed a little longer, all the house slaves of the ministers of the two classes would probably be beaten and arrested.

Wei Bao smiled: "Master Gu Hong, I am very sincere, this is my bottom line, I want Gyeonggi Province and Hwanghae-do, the Seoul Palace can still allow Li Liang to live, and in Gyeonggi-do and Hwanghae-do, I will not send troops, only garrison troops in Incheon!" You don't have to worry about any more strife. And, according to what you said, Pyongan Province and Hamgyong Province are much bigger than Gyeonggi Province combined, right? ”

"Lord Taifu, Gyeonggi Province is the location of the capital! You took Gyeonggi-do, is North Korea still the main Korea? Isn't it your too Fu lord's North Korea? Do you think this is possible, the Lord will not agree, and the people of North Korea will not agree! Gu Hong said solemnly.

Wei Bao smiled: "Go back again, I'm not taking Gyeonggi Province and Hwanghae Province, I'm helping you manage it!" The yamen is still your yamen, and Seoul is still Li Liang's Seoul, I just asked the Heaven and Earth Association to help take care of it and collect taxes, that's all, it's management, not seizure, you have a deviation in understanding. ”

Gu Hong was speechless, and he didn't know what a deviation in understanding was, so he sighed and said, "This matter is too big, I can only go back to His Royal Highness the palace first." ”

"Alright! I can stop them right now! Wait until you ask Li Kun! But no one here is allowed to go! You have to say it to them! Wei Bao gave way.

Gu Hong nodded, his face turned blue.

Wei Bao then said to Lin Wenbiao: "Let everyone stop!" ”

Lin Wenbiao nodded and shouted: "Stop! Stop! ’

Lin Wenbiao's words were said to the two groups of people in the fight, but in fact, they were just said to the people of the Heaven and Earth Society.

Because the two gangs are fighting, in fact, it is like two people fighting, which is equivalent to the Baojun adults beating children, and the adults stopped, and the beaten children naturally stopped resisting.

The scene was immediately under control.

Everyone looked at Wei Bao, wondering if the people above had reached an agreement?

"I've already agreed with Master Gu Hong! He went back to the palace to show Li Liang and see what to do with this matter? As for you who are making trouble in my mansion, you can't let it go for the time being! Also, Shen Jingyi! Li Gui! The two of you hurriedly asked your family members to take 100,000 taels of silver to pay the deposit, and promised that you would not talk nonsense and make trouble in the future! Wei Bao said loudly: "I won't ask for any of this silver, and when you were injured just now, you can come to my side and line up to receive the silver!" Including the house slaves of the two classes of ministers! ”

When the crowd heard this, they applauded.

Although the house slaves of the two classes of ministers were beaten by Wei Bao's people, they heard that they could receive silver, and they didn't care that their heads and faces were covered with blood, and they also applauded.

In fact, these house slaves are not poor people?

In the same way, the common Korean people who supported Wei Bao would not be unhappy because Wei Bao wanted to give silver to the house slaves of the two classes of ministers, because it was not their money, and they also knew that those house slaves were just doing errands and eating other people's food, so they had to help others fight.

They all admired Wei Bao's mind.

As a result, Wei Bao's popularity has increased.

The whole of Seoul, with Wei Bao's presidential office as the core, is gathering more and more people.

Gu Hong couldn't help but sweat again, when will I tell you? I didn't agree to take 500,000 taels of silver! But Wei Bao said so, and he couldn't say anything.

Wei Bao smiled at Gu Hong and motioned for Gu Hong to speak.

Gu Hong had no choice but to say to the ministers of the two classes: "Everyone wait here for a while, and I will enter the palace to His Royal Highness!" ”

Among the ministers of the two classes, the most ideas were Shen Jingyi, Hong Yi and Li Gui, but unfortunately now these three people have been arrested by Wei Bao.

Among the rest of the people, the leader is Li Yuanyi, although Li Yuanyi is the leader of the council and has the highest rank, but he is just highly respected, and his power and influence are not great, Li Yuanyi switched from the Southern People's Party to the Westerner Party, and is not Li Liang's descendant, and Li Liang's own uncle Gu Hong and cousin Shen Jingyi are not of a power level.

Li Yuanyi nodded helplessly in agreement.

The nearly 300 ministers of the two shifts who came to make trouble sighed.

Wei Bao was actually not very disgusted by these people conspiring to murder him, comparing his heart to his heart, empathy, if he himself was a high-ranking official in North Korea, and suddenly a foreign force came, and he was as crazy as he is now, he would also unite with others to murder this person.

After Gu Hong left, Wei Bao looked around boredly, thinking about whether to wait for Gu Hong to come back here, or wait in the mansion first.

Shen Jinghao, Li Gui, Hong Yi and Hong Zhuyuan, father and son, have been taken to the president's palace and imprisoned.

According to Wei Bao's rules, the words have already been spoken, and they will never let people go if they don't take out the corresponding silver in their house.

"Let's go back and rest, shall we? When Gu Hong comes back, they will come and report it. Wu Xuexia saw Wei Bao's hesitation, and said softly: "The president always has to have some shelves, there is no need to be here." There won't be any mess. ”

Wei Bao smiled at Wu Xuexia, nodded, and walked towards the president's mansion.

"You say, will Li Kun agree to my request? I have formally proposed to Lee for control of Hwanghae-do and Gyeonggi-do. Wei Bao asked Wu Xuexia, "They promised that it would be easy to do, I am worried that Gu Hong will not discuss with Li Liang as we want, and they will send troops immediately!" ”

"That's no way, anyway, all of us in Seoul have gathered outside the President's Mansion now, and they are ready to deal with the enemy, and they have done everything they need to do. If Li Liang wants to fight, it is not too late for us to send people to Incheon to rescue the troops. After all, before the war started, he sent someone to Incheon to ask for help, right? Wu Xuexia said.

Wei Bao hummed and continued walking.

"Now I guess whether Li Qi will agree, it's useless, just wait." Wu Xuexia smiled: "I think Li Liang will definitely agree, that Li Liang has always been very tolerant of us!" If Seoul really wants to fight, I don't think he will dare, because in that case, the whole of Korea will fight, not only will our garrison in Inchon come over and start a war with the royal army again, but the rebels from all over Korea will also rise up again and start a war with the Korean royal army! Before our Heaven and Earth Association came, North Korea was in a balanced situation, and after we came, this balance had actually been broken, and if they wanted to deal with us, they had to at least stabilize their backyard first, and they had to ensure that North Korea had no forces that rebelled against him. But he had just overthrown the rule of Guanghaijun Li Hui, and Guanghaijun Li Hui still had a lot of remnants, how could he not rebel against him? In addition, we ourselves have also developed a lot of people in various parts of North Korea, most of whom were people who supported Li Shi in the past, and Li Shi is now a member of our Heaven and Earth Society, and they have naturally become our people. ”

Wei Bao listened to Wu Xuexia's analysis, and couldn't help but be happy, nodded happily, and quickly stepped into the president's mansion.

As Wei Bao and Wu Xuexia expected, from afternoon to evening, more than two hours passed, and when it was already dark, good news came, Gu Hong personally brought a copy of Li Liang's agreement to hand over Gyeonggi Province and Huanghae Road to the Heaven and Earth Society to collect taxes, and Gu Hong also brought the oath that the people of the Action Team of the General Administration of Statistics of the Heaven and Earth Society racked their brains to get but couldn't get!

"Lord Taifu, I won't say anything about His Highness's pain, you should be able to imagine it! I won't say more, this oath also has my signature on it, I hope you don't pursue this matter in the future, we have shown the greatest sincerity! Gu Hong handed over the royal decree and the oath to Wei Bao's people.

After Lin Wenbiao's people took it, they handed it to Lin Wenbiao, and Lin Wenbiao handed it over to Wei Bao.

Wei Bao said to Lin Wenbiao: "Take a look! ”

Lin Wenbiao understood what Wei Bao meant, and he wanted to see if these two things were counterfeit, and he agreed and took them down.

Gu Hong was a little unhappy: "Master Taifu! We've shown the utmost sincerity, don't you believe it? Is it time for you to fulfill your promise? ”

Wei Bao smiled: "Lord Gu Hong, don't be angry, we are all doing things according to the routine, the two secret contracts you want, I will write to you now!" Whatever you say, I'll write in front of you! May I? ”

When Gu Hong heard Wei Bao say this, his face improved a lot, and he nodded: "Thank you, Master Taifu!" In fact, the most important thing about the oath is that the person who made it is honest! Otherwise, no matter how perfect the oath is, it will be reduced to a piece of waste paper. ”

"That's a good point!" Wei Bao nodded.

"Master Taifu, we have shown you our oath, is it better to destroy it in person? Do you take this oath and continue to threaten us in the future? Gu Hongdao.

Wei Bao smiled: "Didn't I also give you a secret agreement to promise not to mention this matter in the future?" But this oath cannot be destroyed, so that we both have a handle in each other's hands! Remember, there are no permanent friends, only eternal interests, and only when each other has more handles, this is the safest and most stable relationship. ”

"There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests." Gu Hong repeated Wei Bao's words, and appreciated it very much: "Master Taifu's words are very incisive!" I think so, too. Master Taifu can have such an achievement in the year of the weak crown, and he admires it very much by playing between North Korea and the palm of his hand. ”

Wei Bao heard that Fu Hong was angry, and said with a smile: "Master Gu Hong, okay, everything has been negotiated, why are you still angry?" I don't have time to stay in North Korea for a long time, and there will be many things in the future that Heaven and Earth will need to rely on Gu Hong's place! After getting along for a long time, you should know that I am the most suitable person to be a friend, because I am honest, tolerant and open-minded to my friends! ”

Gu Hong smiled coldly, secretly not seeing it.

Wei Bao smiled and said to Wu Xuexia: "Let someone prepare two thousand taels of gold and send it over immediately!" I want to apologize to Master Gu Hong for my previous rudeness. ”

Gu Hong was shocked, two thousand taels of gold? Wei Bao is such a big deal!

The poorer the place, the more valuable the gold, in the Ming Dynasty, gold converted into silver, can be increased by about 30 times, in North Korea it can reach almost 40 times, 2,000 taels of gold, almost equal to 80,000 silver tomorrow!

What's even more rare is that gold is extremely valuable in this era, and it is not convenient to exchange it for silver, not if you want to exchange it!

"No, no, no merit! Master Taifu doesn't have to be like this! Gu Hong said hurriedly.

"What? Too little? Wei Bao said with a smile: "I take away Hwanghae-do and Gyeonggi-do, and the annual tax paid to the Korean court in the future will definitely not be less than in the past!" I'm not trying to take advantage of you, I'm helping you! I really want to integrate into North Korea, not to harm people, let alone kill people and seize territory, I hope Master Gu Hong understands this, so we can become good friends! ”

Gu Hong smiled bitterly, he really didn't understand what kind of person Wei Bao was, "Lord Taifu, with all due respect, since you have a good friend, why don't you give me this gold before I go to discuss with His Highness?" ”

"That's different! I'm definitely not a slap in the face and then give a sweet date to eat, I'm really making a friend of Gu Hong. If I give you this gold before you go to discuss with Li Kun, it will be a bribe! Now I give you this gold, it's friendship with friends! Wei Bao said: "I am a businessman, and the most disgusting thing in my life is bribery, and I am even more disgusted with eating inside and out!" If I use such means to deal with Master Gu Hong, I will not only insult Lord Gu Hong, but also insult myself! ”

Gu Hong spoke highly of Wei Bao's words in his heart and nodded frequently.

"If Lord Gu Hong is willing, I also want to invite Lord Gu Hong to serve in my Heaven and Earth Society! I can serve in the Korean court, why can't the high-ranking officials of the DPRK serve in my Heaven and Earth Society? Wei Bao said sincerely: "If Master Gu Hong doesn't dislike our Heaven and Earth Society, your position should not be under Li Shi!" ”

Gu Hong was even more surprised when he heard Wei Bao say this, he originally thought that Wei Bao was just trying his best to get benefits from North Korea, but he didn't expect Wei Bao to invite him to join his Heaven and Earth Society?

Gu Hong was surprised and felt a lot of pressure, because all kinds of signs showed that Wei Bao was really not just for money, how could a person who spent a lot of money just for money? What Wei Bao is trying to plot is really the whole of North Korea?

figured out this section, which made Gu Hong even more difficult, should he accept Wei Bao's gold? It's too rich, it's too heavy! If he accepts it, it means that he has fallen to Wei Bao's side, not to mention that he has completely become Wei Bao's person, anyway, he has some kind of relationship with Wei Bao!

Wei Bao did not rush to urge Gu Hong, but began to write a secret agreement.

By the time Wei Bao's two contracts had been written, promising not to pursue his assassination and to extend his hand outside of Hwanghae-do and Gyeonggi-do, a box full of gold bars was brought in.

Wei Bao smiled at Gu Hong and said, "Lord Gu Hong, take a look, is it okay to write like this?" ”

Gu Hong's eyes were almost blinded by gold, he was a powerful minister, and Li Liang's uncle, he was not a person who had never seen the world, but two thousand taels of gold was really rare, not to mention Wei Bao's gold, which seemed to be very different. Particularly shiny!

Wei Bao handed over the two secret contracts to Gu Hong's hands, and then said with a smile: "The gold of our Heaven and Earth Society is all from the central bank of the Heaven and Earth Society, and it has been refined, and the gold content is more than ninety and five!" In this world, except for our Heaven and Earth Society, there is no other place with this kind of technology! Therefore, one tael of gold in our heaven and earth will be exchanged for ordinary gold, which is at least equal to one tael and a half! Not only gold, but also silver, the gold and silver coins of our Heaven and Earth Society are all refined, recast, and all of them are free of impurities. ”

Gu Hong nodded, and then set his eyes on the two contracts, and now he believes Wei Bao, the contract written by Wei Bao is very detailed, and it can be regarded as very sincere.

"Lord Taifu, I can't accept this gold, and I can't go to the Heaven and Earth Society, if I take up a post in the Heaven and Earth Society, the impact on North Korea will be too great, and the officials will definitely follow suit, and I really don't know if it's the North Korea of the North Korean court, or the North Korea of the Heaven and Earth Society." Gu Hongdao.

Wei Bao smiled: "This gold, I apologized to Lord Gu Hong for my previous attitude, it has nothing to do with whether you come to heaven and earth, and I won't ask you to do anything for me for this bit of gold, Lord Gu Hong, are you misunderstood?" ”

"Master Taifu, I understand what you mean, but I still can't accept it, this is my bottom line, I'm sorry." Gu Hong bowed his head and said.

Wei Bao looked at Gu Hong with appreciation, Gu Hong not only has a lot of influence in the Korean court and the Westerner Party because he is Li Liang's own uncle, this person does have some outstanding points, and he is not moved in the face of such a large sum of gold, which is not something that ordinary people can do.

"Take it back." Wei Bao said to Wu Xuexia very decisively.

Wu Xuexia originally thought that Wei Bao would insist on persuading Gu Hong again, but she didn't expect Wei Bao to not persuade her.

Wei Bao's gift giving is this routine, if you don't give it to the person you want, he will ask for it openly and secretly, and if you don't want it, there is no need to force it, because people are afraid that if you receive a little something, you will have to pay back more later, and it is very likely that you will not be able to pay it back.

Gu Hong also thought that Wei Bao would persuade again, and after being a little disappointed, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Lord Taifu won't be angry, right?" ”

"No, what's there to be angry about?" Wei Bao smiled: "It can only be said that Master Gu Hong doesn't know me well enough and is too defensive of me." ”

Gu Hong was told the central thing by Wei Bao, but he didn't blush, and when he was fifty or sixty years old, in this era, he had definitely entered old age.
