"In Korea, the city of Shosho?" Wu Yanen looked at Wu Haogu with some suspicion, "Dongmen, you are an official of the Great Song Dynasty, I'm afraid you can't manage the affairs of Goryeo, right?"

Moreover, in the country of Goryeo, merchants have no status, the real end of the four people! ”

The economic basis of the Goryeo Kingdom is also similar to that of the Liao State and the Japanese State, both of which are manor economies - the current power in the Goryeo Kingdom is not the Korean two classes that can only study and take exams later, but the descendants of the Goryeo nobles who followed Wang Jian to create the country. Therefore, in history, the performance of several wars between the Goryeo Kingdom and the Liao Kingdom and the Jurchen Kingdom was quite good, much stronger than the Song Dynasty, and much stronger than the later Korean Kingdom.

However, in Goryeo, where the manor economy was dominant, the status of merchants was even lower than in the Song Dynasty, and they were only better than the untouchables.

"There is a way," Wu Haogu smiled, "This official has his own way to make those Koreans obey." ”

"What's the solution?"

Wu Haogu snorted lightly: "Naturally, it's the battle between Goryeo and Jurchen!" Did Mr. Listener Hymer forget about this? ”

"This ......," Wu Yanen waved his hand and said to the female envoy who was waiting in the inner guest hall, "all step down." ”

When several female envoys heard this, they retreated, and only four people were left in the hall: Wu Haogu, Pan Qiaolian, Ao Niangzi Olga and Mr. Tinghai Wu Yanen.

"East Gate," Wu Yanen frowned, "Now Xianggong Zhang has invited the county...... Will this change? ”

"No, it won't." Wu Haogu shook his head, "Xianggong Zhang has gone down, but today's official family is also a holy monarch!"

Moreover, we have more than one line in our hands now. ”

What do you mean?

Wu Yanen looked at Wu Haogu with some incomprehension.

"On the Jurchen side, there is actually our way." Wu Haogu said with a smile, "This business is done at both ends!" Your family does it with the Koreans, and we do it with the Jurchens. ”

"Jurchen?" Wu Yanen took a breath, "Does the imperial court have a connection with them?" ”

"Nope." Wu Hao Gudao, "But we have already hooked up with the Bohai people...... Bohai Jurchen, but a family! Listen to Mr. Hai, do you understand what this official means? ”

Sure enough, he is the first profiteer! Wu Yanen said in his heart: The old man's life as a businessman is bright and upright, and he treats people with sincerity and convinces people with morality...... How can this Wu Haogu also be a disciple of Mr. Dongpo, and he still pretends to be a great Confucian, why is he so treacherous? You must be careful when doing business with him in the future.

"What does Dongmen mean to let the Goryeo people lose their money?" Wu Yanen asked thoughtfully.

"I'm afraid it's impossible to lose all your money, right?" Wu Haogu smiled bitterly, "The soldiers and horses of the Goryeo Kingdom shouldn't be very weak, right?" ”

Wu Yanen shook his head and said with a smile: "Dongmen still doesn't know the inside story of Goryeo." In fact, the soldiers and horses of the Goryeo State are very weak, and the military system of the Goryeo State is similar to that of the early Tang Dynasty in China, which was to educate the soldiers on the peasants. However, in the 200 years since the founding of the Goryeo state, the land has been continuously annexed, and it has long been owned by the family, and the ordinary people are customers who rent land and cannot afford military service. ”

"But the Goryeo family can still fight, right?" Wu Haogu now has a very good understanding of the ancient military system. "As long as they can still fight, and the Goryeo court can get some money, the war can be maintained."

In fact, the ancient military system is similar to that of modern times, and it is basically two categories of mercenaries and feudal compulsory soldiers bought with money. The basis of the feudal compulsory army was the manor system, the feudal system or the uniform land system, in short, it was linked to the land; Mercenaries, on the other hand, must be based on the development of industry and commerce and the ability of the central government to make money.

There was basically no manor system in the Northern Song Dynasty, so it was impossible to engage in feudal compulsory soldiers, and mercenaries were an inevitable choice.

However, because Goryeo did not have a developed industry and commerce to make money, it had to establish a conscription system similar to the government military system.

However, there is also a big hole in the government military system, that is, the officers have to be provided by the noble estates. Moreover, the manor aristocracy (family, gate lord, noble) must maintain relatively close ties with the government soldiers and farmers in order to effectively mobilize and command in wartime.

However, for various reasons, Junda will always be destroyed. And the close relationship between the manor aristocracy and the government soldiers and farmers will always make the emperor sleep unstable...... Therefore, the government soldier (township soldier) system of the Tang Dynasty, Goryeo and the southern Liaoning system will inevitably collapse in the end.

However, the economic basis of Goryeo was still the manor system, so while the government soldiers and Juntian were corrupted, the aristocratic estates would inevitably expand, and a situation similar to that of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was formed, and the clans held a certain amount of force. In times of crisis, the country can mobilize this part of its forces to defend the country.

In addition, although the economy of Goryeo itself is underdeveloped, it can't stand the big Song Dynasty around him, and he can dig more ginseng and exterminate a few more tigers, and he can still get a lot of cash to hire soldiers in a short period of time. Although it is impossible to fight a protracted war by exterminating wild tigers and digging up ginseng, there is not much of a problem with a short-term outbreak.

After all, the officer warriors who came out of the manor system were still much stronger than the Jiangmen capitalists and Jiangmen artists in Kaifeng Mansion. As long as the core is not completely corrupted, and there is enough cannon fodder, you can start a war with the Jurchen and Khitan, even if you lose the battle in the end, you can also cause a lot of losses to the opponent.

"Listen to Mr. Hai," Wu Haogu paused, and then said, "Why don't we join forces to make a game, and let the Goryeo and Jurchens fight for ten or eight years...... As long as the king of Goryeo is forced to go bankrupt, your Wu family will have the possibility of taking a Wujiagang. And the Yuntai School Palace can also take the opportunity to insert a foot in the Goryeo Kingdom, and when the time comes, the School Palace and Wujiagang will cooperate with each other, and the Wu family in Haizhou in Goryeo will be able to prosper. ”

Wu Yanen was a little tempted, "How can the Academy Palace intervene in Goryeo?" And how to help the Wu family of Goryeo prosper? ”

"The Academy Palace has to wait for the right time to intervene in Goryeo." Wu Haogu smiled, "If the Goryeo-Jurchen war is protracted, it will inevitably cause the big clans to have strong troops to threaten the Goryeo court. At that time, the Goryeo court will need the monarch and the ministers to be regular, and the name of righteousness will be great.

And in my Yuntai School Palace, there is the outline and title that the monarch of Goryeo needs, which can help the Goryeo State to build a academy, promote Confucianism, and practice a stable law that emphasizes literature over military force. This leader of Goryeo Xingru is naturally the son of the Wu family.

And this academy can actually be turned into a manor! ”

"The academy becomes a manor?"

"Yes, the academy is a place for teaching and educating people in the Great Song Dynasty, but in Goryeo and Japan, it can be turned into a manor with a territorial fief."

And rightfully so! The manor system was the foundation in Goryeo and Japan, and both noble estates and temples had feudal households, and in order to control feudal households, they had to have a certain amount of armament. With a certain amount of armament and feudal households, it is naturally a feudal separatist force.

And if the academy under the Yuntai Academy Palace wants to gain a foothold in Goryeo and Japan, it naturally has to own land, feudal households, and arms. Otherwise, the monks and soldiers in the temple and the gods in the shrine should be hanged......

"Can it really be successful?"

Wu Yanen is still a little skeptical. Although his family was a powerful man on the sea, it was the foundation of merchants after all—here in East Asia, the first merchant-dominated regime was the Jiehe Trading Market, which was still in the process of being created. So Old Man Wu is inevitably a little weak-hearted.

"Why can't it be successful?" Wu Haogu smiled, "The two of us join forces, and the money is there!" There is no shortage of fame, and the Yuntai School Palace wants to spread Confucianism in the four seas; The knife handle is not a problem, your family has a warship fleet at sea, and we can also provide support to the Jurchens through the Bohai people, and we can always make the Goryeo people obey. Besides, there are already people in your family who are high-ranking officials in the Goryeo court, and there is no shortage of ways.

There is money, there are people, there are fame, there are ways, and there is force! It's a few days before this thing doesn't work out! Listen to Mr. Hai, do you want to do it? ”

"But the court ......" Wu Yanen was still a little worried.

What does the Great Song Dynasty mean?

"Of course the imperial court supports it," Wu Haogu smiled, "The imperial court has been thinking about making Goryeo a vassal for a hundred years!" Now that the Holy Monarch is in charge, he likes all nations to come to the court the most! ”

It was impossible to coax the Japanese Emperor Shirakawa to declare himself a vassal to Zhao Ji, but it was still possible to make the Goryeo Kingdom a vassal.

Wu Haogu had already calculated, first let the Goryeo people bite the Jurchens, let them know how powerful the Jurchens were, and by the way, hit the nails of the Yuntai School Palace and the Wu family in Haizhou. After the Battle of Hubu Dagang, they can coax the Goryeo Kingdom to declare themselves vassals to the Great Song Dynasty, and form an alliance with the Liao State against the Jurchens.

"Good!" Wu Yanen thought for a moment, "Dongmen, where do you want to open that Ship Master Academy?" ”

"It's on Yuju Island." Wu Haogu said, "There are old shipwrights and shipbuilders here in Haizhou, so it's convenient to drive here." ”

In fact, Wu Haogu also plans to open a branch of the Ship Master School in Jiehe Shang City, but that is in the future. At present, it is not easy to open a head school in Haizhou.

"How many classes?" Wu Yanen asked again.

Wu Haogu said: "It is generally divided into two roads, one way to teach the shipwright, and the other to teach the bow of the ship. Along the way, the shipwright opened subjects such as drawing, arithmetic, carpentry, materials, and ship models.

On the bow of the boat, there are subjects such as boat maneuvering, water warfare, martial arts, foreign scenery, and geography.

It is not only necessary to teach in the classroom, but also to have arrangements for entering the shipyard and practicing the fleet. Basically, there are three years of schooling, two years in the classroom, and one year in the boat yard and fleet.

In addition, the teachers of the Ship Master Academy are not all from your Wu family. The Aladdin Chamber of Commerce gave two white water army leaders, and there were many shipwrights among the seven Manichaean electors, and the Pingjiang Ji family could also send people. In short, it is necessary to gather the strengths of all families and turn the matter of ship administration into a real science. ”

"What Dongmen thinks about is really thoughtful!" Wu Yanen nodded slightly.

In fact, the Wu family itself also has a way to train shipwrights and bows, not a school, but an apprentice, paying attention to oral teaching, without leaving words. In other words, it is a craft, not a knowledge, and it is easy to interrupt the inheritance, and it is difficult to gather the strengths of all families for research and development.
