"When you arrive on Jeju Island, your uncle will stay for a few days while the next fleet departs for Japan together. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Wu Xiang said.

"The imperial court has allowed the door to Sino-Japanese trade to be opened?" Wu Sangui was keenly aware of something.

Wu Xiangshu smiled and said, "Don't be so anxious, I haven't finished talking about my father yet." ”

Wu Sangui said embarrassedly: "It's the child who is anxious." ”

"The expeditionary company has a strong military background and is also a pathfinder for the imperial court's overseas operations. We, the pathfinders, have dangers, but also opportunities. This time I went to Japan, I went to stand for the imperial court. Actually, you don't have to worry. Last time, one of us went to Japan privately. Among the peers, there are also a few smuggling merchants, some of whom are familiar with each other, so we don't need to worry too much. ”

After a pause, Wu Xiang said again: "What is important is our action. Japan's plan is still lagging behind. Our main thing is the state of Korea. I will stay on Jeju Island and go to the central mountains of Jeju Island, which is a huge pasture, and after discussing it at the shareholders' meeting of the expedition, I think there is a lot to be done. As for the son, you ...... How about it, are you interested in traveling to the Korean Peninsula? ”

"Which city?" Wu Sangui raised his eyebrows: "What task, what purpose, how many resources can I get, and what power can I have?" ”

"The capital of Korea, Seoul. Task...... Open the market of North Korea and build our strength and fundamentals. Your resources are 10,000 taels of silver and a batch of goods, as well as this ...... Your power comes from a powerful country, the power of a legitimate merchant of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, we will be behind your back. When you have questions, you can contact the person on page 9 of this document. ”

After speaking, Wu Xiang handed Wu Sangui a document.

The fleet split in two on Jeju Island, and Wu Sangui didn't even have time to rest for one more day on Jeju Island before boarding another fleet bound for Seoul.

After stepping into the new fleet, Wu Sangui waved his hand and waved goodbye to his father. He closed his eyes, and his mind was full of Wu Xiang's last instructions.

"This line of work, for you, is a new world. Your status gives you a better chance of making a difference in North Korea than ordinary people. Again, don't worry. You won't be fighting alone...... Behind you, not only the expeditionary company, but also our mighty empire to rely on! Wu Xiang's words echoed in Wu Sangui's ears, and he rubbed the document in his hand and exhaled deeply.

Wu ...... General, the inventory of the goods has been completed. Please instruct. A thin man strode up and respectfully handed over a list in his hand.

Wu Sangui took it, glanced at it, looked at the sweaty forehead of the man in front of him, and said, "Yes, the inventory is very careful." Are there any gaps? ”

The thin man glanced at Wu Sangui with some embarrassment.

Wu Sangui saw this look and immediately understood: "To put it bluntly, from now on, we are not only the people under the expedition company, but the most important thing is the people of the North Korean pioneer team." Whether you can make money here in North Korea is the confidence to talk to the company. If something is missing, don't worry about any punishment, you have to hide it from me, and if you drop the chain at a critical time, then we will all jump into the sea together. ”

When the thin man heard this, he said: "Three of the raw silk were soaked in seawater, and the fineness dropped by two grades, and six boxes of glass cans were missing, and the iron ingots of the Jingshi Iron and Steel Plant were not tightly tied in the big wave the day before yesterday, and about one-third of them were lost." ”

Hearing the other party say this, Wu Sangui reached over and grabbed the other party's shoulder.

Unexpectedly, the other party is also capable, and he wants to use a counter-grappling at the moment. Fortunately, he quickly understood where this was, and the movements of his hands froze.

Wu Sangui stretched out his hand, and sure enough, he saw a trace of blood under the armpit behind the thin man's arm, and said with a frown: "What about the ship doctor?" This wound has not been treated, so it is so hard to carry? Come on, go get a doctor. I remember the waves the day before yesterday, everyone else was hiding, and you were on it, and this wound was also when the iron ingot was reinforced, right? The sea is already dangerous, and it is normal to lose something and lose something. The iron ingot was heavy, and there was no way to tie it up, so I had to go back and buy iron wire in China. ”

After that, Wu Sangui paused again and said, "Your name is Li Yan?" ”

Li Yan bowed and said, "It's the prisoner." ”

It turned out that this thin man was Li Yan, the general of the Chuang Army who had been captured before.

It's just that after the ups and downs of labor in the past few years, Li Yan has changed greatly, perhaps because he didn't eat well enough, his body is thin and weak, and he seems a little weak and unwinded. In addition, in the past few years, he has not forgotten to study, and even served as a teacher in the labor camp, and has regained the elegant temperament of a scholar. It doesn't look like a former general, but like a scholar.

This Li Yan was also officially recommended to the expedition company by the labor camp because of his cultural literacy ability.

Just as most of the Western colonizers who dared to colonize overseas in this era were criminals, scoundrels, and outcasts, for the Ming people who relocated to the land, although there were rumors that they could get rich overseas overnight. However, no matter how much publicity is promoted, the number of people that the expedition company can recruit is still very tight.

For this reason, Li Yan successfully joined the expedition company.

Thinking like this, the doctor on the ship also hurried over.

Li Yan said in a low voice: "The prisoner's body is strong, and the medicine on the ship is precious, so I want to carry it over, and I don't want to alarm the doctor." ”

Wu Sangui shook his head slowly: "When I got on the boat and joined the team, I am brothers together." In the future, don't say these words, Doctor Liu, it's hard work. Herbs or something, just use. I've counted the stock in the ship, and it's not enough to go to North Korea to buy it! ”

"General Wu rest assured." Dr. Liu said with a smile.

"From now on, don't call yourself a general. I've retired, and now I'm your leader. If you're lazy, just shout your head. If you want to be more particular, call the captain directly. Wu Sangui laughed.

"Yes, Captain...... Chief! Li Yan smiled, but something melted in his heart.

Wu Sangui smiled, and suddenly heard a cheer in front of the bow of the boat.

"North Korea is coming!"

……

Wu Sangui responded, picked up the clairvoyant mirror, and ran to the captain's room to look. When Wu Sangui's figure was far away, Li Yan took off his coat and let Doctor Liu babble about the attention of the wound, and saw Doctor Liu take out two shriveled oranges with a high price, and said, "I just told you about the precautions for the wound." On the diet side, you will be treated according to the sick number. , these days you drink more tea, soybeans don't have to give to others. In fact, vegetables are also grown on the ship, which are for everyone to eat. ”

"Well, thank you, Dr. Liu." Li Yan responded softly, thinking back on the past few days, feeling as if he was in a dream.
