Yang Dae's notice of recruiting craftsmen was plastered all over the city and outside the city, and he also hired Koreans to spread the news throughout Goryeo.
It has been a month since the signing of the "Treaty of Haegugu", and during this month, he has suddenly become like a fish in water in Goryeo, and now the officials of Goryeo are also respectful when they see him.
However, it is also because of this treaty that the merchants of Haigu City have suddenly increased, and now the streets of Haigu City are full of merchants from the Great Yu Kingdom.
Moreover, some merchants even bought shops on the street in the ancient city of Haehae for their own use, and began to contact the merchants of Goryeo.
These unusual circumstances made him understand that the content of the treaty of Haigu City must have spread in Qingzhou now, otherwise these merchants would not have smelled the fishy smell and came over.
While he was staring at these merchants with hostility, Ye Qingyun came to his side under the protection of the two soldiers.
"Liang Dahai, why are you wandering on the streets alone, don't you know that there are merchants from the Great Yu Kingdom who were attacked by the Goryeo in Haigu City?" Ye Qingyun frowned.
After the signing of the "Treaty of Haigucheng", it seemed to be calm in this ancient city, but in the shadows there were some Goryeo people who were hostile to the Dayu Kingdom waiting for an opportunity to retaliate.
During this time, some businessmen were robbed of their property, and even directly murdered.
This situation naturally gave him a headache for the actual ruler of Hai Ancient City, and now he realized that it was not easy to occupy a foreign city.
"Who dare!" Liang Dahai grinned with his teeth, the scar on his face was extremely terrifying, "These Goryeo dogs dare to bully unarmed businessmen, and they will only be scared when they meet me." ”
Ye Qingyun shook his head, "That's right, if every businessman is like you, Ben Jiang won't have to have a headache every day, hey." “
"Shouldn't Li Chengzai deal with this matter?" Liang Dahai was a little puzzled when he saw Ye Qingyun's frowning.
"Having said that, it's just that this Li Cheng has no soldiers available in his hands, so he can only come in the future, after all, being idle is also idle, by the way, how are your craftsmen recruited?" Ye Qingyun asked.
At the mention of this, Liang Dahai looked bitter, "Six thousand people have already been sent away, and this time we have to recruit 24,000 people to end." ”
When Ye Qingyun heard this, he suddenly felt that his task was much easier than Liang Dahai's.
The two were talking, when a soldier walked towards the two and said to Ye Qingyun, "General, the Qingzhou businessman is here." ”
"They're finally here, and if they don't come, they'll be filled up by other merchants." Ye Qingyun said.
Liang Dahai said: "I don't know who came, but I have a companion in Haigu City this time." “
After that, the two went to the official office of Haigu City, and at this time they established a temporary institution in Haigu City.
When they arrived at the official office, a slightly chubby figure appeared beside the two, Ye Qingyun and Liang Dahai immediately smiled when they saw each other: "This time, President Li personally came to Haigu City, which shows that the emperor attaches great importance to being in Goryeo. ”
The person who came was none other than Li Kaiyuan, this time Goryeo officially opened the treaty port, and the market in Goryeo was open to the Great Chongqing Kingdom, and there was no reason for the Chamber of Commerce not to participate in this matter.
"This is natural, the merchants who come to Goryeo this time must have a road guide from the Chamber of Commerce, so there is no road guide for merchants in this ancient sea city, and I hope that General Ye can drive them out, so as not to cause dissatisfaction among other merchants." Li Kaiyuan said.
Merchants are profit-seeking, and some merchants are impatient when the affairs of Goryeo are not decided, which is not good for him.
The behavior of the merchant must be restrained by the imperial court, which was said by the emperor himself before he left.
"Is there an emperor's message?" Ye Qingyun would not mobilize the army to believe him because of Li Kaiyuan's three or two sentences, the army has the rules of the army.
"Of course, this one is, and I also surprised the two of you this time." After that, Li Kaiyuan stuffed a newspaper to Ye Qingyun.
Ye Qingyun and Liang Dahai glanced at each other, and the two looked at the front page of the newspaper and exclaimed; "The steam locomotive is running!"
"That's right, the emperor specially asked me to bring you this news." Li Kaiyuan said that the hottest topic in Qingzhou now is steam locomotives, so that Xiao Ming's promotion of chemical fertilizers among the people has not caused any waves.
The purpose of Liang Dahai's coming to recruit hard labor this time was to build a railway, and he naturally knew about steam locomotives, and he looked at it repeatedly with the newspaper, and he couldn't close his mouth happily.
Then he slapped his thigh, "I must finish this hard labor as soon as possible, otherwise it will not be my sin to delay the laying of the railway." “
Ye Qingyun watched it with relish, as a soldier, he naturally thought about the war, "This thing runs faster than a horse, and it can run day and night, so it is only a matter of one or two days from Qingzhou to Youzhou, and more importantly, this thing can also transport grain and grass, and with each war, you can requisition a lot of people." ”
Li Kaiyuan nodded frequently, and as Qingzhou officials and businessmen discussed, this steam locomotive is an all-powerful weapon for the Great Chongqing Kingdom, and ordinary people, businessmen, and the army can use it.
Excitedly talking about the steam locomotive for a while, Li Kaiyuan showed a bad smile, and asked me to bring a good thing to make money when I came to the Emperor of Goryeo this time.
"What's that?" The two of them said at the same time that their time in Haigu City was really boring, so they wanted to ask the bottom of everything.
Li Kaiyuan said slowly: "The emperor asked me to open a big casino in this ancient city of Hai, and make some novel ways to play in the casino, I brought everything this time, just wait to find a convenient place to open it to Goryeo merchants and nobles." “
Liang Dahai is a slave trader, usually indispensable to eat, drink and gamble, he also once looked for a casino in this ancient sea city, so he said: "It's really a coincidence, there is a big gambling house in the middle of this sea ancient city, the shopkeeper of this casino escaped during the battle of Hai ancient city, and now this casino is empty, it can be used as a gambling house." “
Ye Qingyun also thought about it, and he said: "That's true, this gambling house used to be the private property of an official in Haigu City, and now it is ours. ”
Li Kaiyuan looked excited, the purpose of his visit this time was to plunder the wealth from Goryeo as much as possible, this is one to sell goods, and this gambling and other profiteering industries naturally cannot be pulled down.
So he said: "In this case, this gambling house chamber of commerce has been requisitioned, and I have brought all the people who run the gambling house this time, and this time we must make this gambling house the first gambling house in Goryeo, and bring a steady stream of silver to the Great Chongqing Kingdom. “
After deciding on this matter, Li Kaiyuan began to prepare for this big gambling house, and in just four or five days, the game he got from Xiao Ming shocked the gamblers in Goryeo.
