Chapter 115: The Smell of Gunpowder

The atmosphere in Minglun Hall began to become solemn, and the morning that should have been refreshing began to bring the smell of gunpowder. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

For the people in the audience, they heard Zhu Cihong's strength.

When Li Qianzong heard this, he slowly bowed his head. When a politician is in power, it is typical that he will only care about maintaining the status quo for personal gain. However, a politician needs to have the mind to help the world, reconcile the conflicts of interests of various factions, unite forces, and solve the problems faced by the country.

Zhu Cihong speaks clearly, speaks neither fast nor slow, and is relaxed. The ability to give such a long-term speech made the audience listen to it one after another. And this also made Lee Yuna and Yoo Young-chae, who had always been worried about bad translation, breathe a sigh of relief.

Lee Yoona took advantage of the silence on the court and gave a smile to Yoo Young-chae.

But Yoo Young-chae was silent after the translation.

For the first time, she doubts the significance of her assassination mission. And unusual assassin killers, who recognize money but not people. Yoo Young-chae has read books and knows how to read. Knowing etiquette and righteousness is also compassion for the weak.

If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have ignored the cumbersomeness, just because of a little fate on the road, he helped Hong Qiniang escort all the way to Shenxing Temple.

is also official, which makes Yoo Young-chae unprecedentedly suspicious of the task she received today.

"This time...... Is everything I'm doing right? ”

……

In the audience, many people were moved by Zhu Cihong's words.

Choi Myung-gil and Kim Sang-hun glanced at each other, and they both understood the thoughts in each other's eyes. North Korea is not only a Korean state, but also a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty and a member of the Ming Dynasty. Although Li Hao's remarks can barely be justified in legal theory, if you are serious, this is a bit separatist.

Zhu Cihong didn't say anything, so naturally everyone didn't care. But now that Zhu Cihong has broken it, it means that this layer of curtain has been lifted and displayed naked in front of everyone's eyes, and it can't be bypassed or avoided.

This also means...... The confrontation on the stage suddenly escalated and was about to erupt.

……

Sungkyunkwan is not far from Deoksugung Palace, and the straight-line distance is only six miles.

When the Sungkyunkwan Myeongnun Hall is holding the most grand and high-end cultural ceremony in the whole of Seoul, Deoksugung Palace is also bustling with people and merchants from all walks of life.

A grand Seoul trade fair was also held here.

There are a wide variety of goods at the fair, and what is even more rare is that they are of good quality and low price, and they are still cheaper than the local products from all over North Korea.

More importantly, the posture of the expedition company this time is that those who come will not refuse, as long as they can afford to open the price code and get the goods that can be bartered, the expedition company will buy them, as long as they are not prohibited goods, they will be sold at the Seoul fair.

Mr. Wu is well aware that North Korea is not a barren country. It's the little people who are barren, not the country. With North Korea's population of tens of millions, as long as trade is unimpeded, North Korea will soon be able to improve people's livelihood, and when the people have money in their pockets, they will naturally cultivate a vast market.

Sure enough, at the Seoul Fair, many North Korean merchants were quite rich in products. There are not only the most primitive hard currencies such as gold and silver minerals, but also some technical things such as rice, grain, early and late rice seeds. There are also all kinds of leather goods, four treasures of the study, clothing and so on.

Not only that, but there are also a lot of beautiful things. For example, gold and silver ornaments and utensils. War horses, stallions. There is also a dragon seat that was originally dedicated to the Ming royal family. Color mats, color mats, doors, windows and curtains. It is a tribute level, exquisite and sophisticated.

In addition, the high-grade white paper made of Tsubaki wood is also a North Korean specialty, with good quality and is also a tribute level. Originally, these tributes could not be sold. However, Zhu Cihong knew that there were many internal officials who used tribute to threaten the whole of North Korea, which made people resentful. Therefore, Zhu Cihong had already reformed the tributary system and changed the royal exclusive supply to the royal purchase.

In this way, the prohibition on the use of royal tribute for private purposes was effectively lifted.

Affected by this, merchants everywhere rushed to bring out their best goods, just to send them to the palace and get the name of a royal article. After all, this name is equivalent to the world's first quality certification.

In this way, quietly except for a major feudal paralysis.

As a result, the Korean state, which paid the most tribute, poured a large amount of goods into the market, enriching the purchasing power of the Koreans.

In addition, there is no animal protection law these days. North Korea is prolific in fur, leopard skin, black and white fox skin, white mouse skin, golden silk horse, mink skin, and deer skin. In addition to all kinds of leather, there are also processed fur crown boots, fox fur and other leather products.

As for Korean ginseng and aquatic catches, there is no need to mention much.

Compared with the products of North Korea, the expeditionary company and the Chinese merchants in North Korea are much more prepared.

There are not only traditional products, such as crown clothes, popular and improved hanfu that are fashionable in crown clothes, and even military uniforms without epaulettes. There are also textiles such as Luo yarn, Luo Li silk, Wen Qi silk, color silk, color segment Luo. Of course, porcelain is also indispensable, white porcelain bells, white porcelain tea bottles, porcelain, blue and white plates. There are also a variety of lacquerware, medicinal herbs, and the most representative books. For example, "Four Books and Five Classics", "Eighteen Historical Strategies", 24 History, "Spring and Autumn Huitong", "Zhu Zichengshu", and the most popular "Journey to the West", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and "Stone Records", which is still in an updated state, only the first volume.

In addition to these traditional categories of goods, there are also high-end industrial products exported to Seoul for the first time. For example, iron was previously restricted from being sold. Since the Jingshi Iron and Steel Plant was put into operation, there was no need for the gold-devouring beast of war, and the goods of the Jingshi Iron and Steel Plant began to pour into various places all at once. Naturally, it was also allowed to be exported to North Korea.

In addition, there is a small amount of cement and a small number of obsolete machine tools. Compared to other things that are openly available, these items are sold out as soon as they hit the shelves. If you want it again, you have to pay a lot of money to buy it.

With Song Dongyuan's precedent, everyone understands that if you buy a machine from the Ming people and start a workshop, you can make a fortune in an instant.

All this shows the grandeur of this Seoul trade fair.

Compared with the lectures in Myeoniluntang, where powerful people from all sides of North Korea gathered, the Seoul Fair had a larger flow of people, and the already huge Deoksugung Palace had a lot of guards to listen to and maintain order. But in the face of the Seoul Trade Fair, which was already crowded with at least tens of thousands of people at just ten o'clock, the original few hundred guards were suddenly not enough.

"I'm so well prepared!" Seeing the more than five hundred hired escorts pouring into the venue to maintain order, Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

"You know, when I first typed the report, I was not less scolded. Haha, after today, the entire company, including those directors with stinky faces, also have to obediently say a word! Wu Sangui intervened, feeling relieved and proud.
