"How long is Mr. Lee going to stay in Seoul?" Park Gaode realized that Li Yuntian was not good at answering the question he had just asked, so Yu Fengyi changed the subject.

"I don't know yet, let's see if there's any business to do here." Mr. Li shook his head, and then said with a smile, "I have found a business opportunity in the next place, I don't know if Boss Park is interested." ”

"Tell me about it." Park Gaode's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked at Mr. Li with great interest.

"After coming down to Incheon Port, I found that the port is too simple, and it is foreseeable that the future of Daming and your country will be closer, and Incheon Port will become a busy port for both passengers and cargo, so if we invest a sum of money now, we will definitely have a lot of money in the future."

Mr. Lee smiled slightly, lowered his voice and said to Park Gold-deok that sea transportation is much more convenient and faster than land transportation, so the value of Incheon Port will become more and more evident as sea transportation continues to develop.

"May Mr. explain in detail." Although Park Gaode understood what Li Yuntian meant, he did not know how to throw money into Incheon Port, which he had never encountered before.

"We can buy the land in Incheon Port, and the land price will definitely increase with the future intimacy between Daming and your country, and we can build houses on those lands and sell them to others, or rent them to others, which can be described as a huge profit." Li Yuntian smiled and said methodically, ready to speculate on the real estate of Incheon Port.

"How long will it take for the price of these lands to rise if we have them?" After all, it was the first time Park Gaode had come into contact with something like this, and he couldn't help but be a little worried.

"As long as we are willing, we can make the price of land rise at any time."

Mr. Li showed an unfathomable smile on his face, hesitated for a moment and then said with a smile, "As long as we invest money in Incheon Port with great fanfare, then naturally someone will come to inquire about the news, and then we only need to release false news to tell those people that Daming is ready to strengthen exchanges with your country, and those rich people will flock to seize business opportunities." ”

"Is that okay?" Park Gordon never expected that Mr. Lee would be so bold, and he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart, if those people were not attracted to him, he would have lost a lot.

"Don't hide it from the two of you, the reason why I came to Seoul this time is because I learned a news from the imperial court, the imperial court is ready to open up trade with your country, and Incheon Port will become an important port for freight exchanges between the two sides, as long as you take it, you can sit back and wait to make a fortune."

Seeing that Park Gaode was suspicious, Mr. Li groaned for a while, lowered his voice and told him and Kim Jong-seo a piece of news.

"What?" Park Gaode and Kim Jong-seo were taken aback when they heard this, and they couldn't help but glance at each other in surprise, they didn't expect Daming to do this anyway.

You must know that although the relationship between the Korean State and the Ming Dynasty is close, the trade between the Korean State and the Ming Dynasty must also follow the rules of tributary trade, and the trade between them is greatly restricted.

But then again, this will also mean that North Korea's dependence on the Ming will deepen dramatically, until the Ming Dynasty controls its economic lifeline.

"Mr. Li, are you ready for this news?" Jin Zongrui suppressed the shock in his heart and asked Li Yuntian quietly, so it seems that Daming really has the ambition to annex the Korean state.

"Eight or nine is not far from ten." Mr. Li bowed his head slightly when he heard this, and said solemnly, "As far as I know, the imperial court is ready to wait for the king of Joseon to ascend the throne to announce it to the outside world, which can be regarded as a generous gift to the king of Joseon." ”

Jin Zongrui's face suddenly became ugly when he heard this, although Daming's actions can indeed make the economy of North Korea develop greatly, but at the same time, it also strengthens the control of North Korea, and North Korea will be completely dominated by Daming, which is a scene he does not want to see.

"If that's the case, then the port of Incheon will become a cash cow." Unlike Kim Jong-rui, Park Gaode still valued the huge business opportunities brought by the trade between the Ming Dynasty and the Korean state, and said to Li Yuntian excitedly.

"If the two of you are interested, I am willing to do this business with the two of you." Mr. Lee saw that Park Gaode seemed to be full of interest in investing in Incheon Port, so he smiled and sent out an invitation, the so-called strong dragon does not suppress the head of the snake, and for him, if he wants to win this piece of fat in Incheon Port, he must have the support of the North Korean side.

"Then thank you, Mr. Li." Park Gaode nodded when he heard this, and then looked at Jin Zongrui with a smile, "Lord Jin, as long as you put a sum of money into it, you can sit and wait for it to make money in the future." ”

"This ......" Jin Zongrui couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive when he heard this, although he did not approve of unlimited trade with the Ming Dynasty, but this matter was obviously something he could not stop, so it was better to take the opportunity to use it.

Jin Zongrui knows very well that the strength of the four counties and six towns can be said to be the foundation of the Korean state, so he must keep the strength of the four counties and six towns no matter what, and the most important thing at this time is to find a way to solve the military salary, it is obvious that this will be the main means for the Ming Dynasty to deal with the four counties and six towns in the future.

Taking the military rations of the six towns in the northeast as an example, as soon as Li Yuntian cut off the supply of military rations to the six towns in the northeast, then Jin Zongrui had to obediently rush to Seoul to meet Li Yuntian, so Jin Zongrui didn't want to be controlled by Li Yuntian in the future.

Therefore, if investing in Incheon Port can bring huge benefits, Kim Jong-rui is willing to give it a try, so that he can be exempted from Li Yuntian's constraints.

It's just that Jin Zongrui is shy in his pocket and doesn't have any money left, so even if he wants to invest money, he is powerless, so he doesn't know how to answer Park Gaode's words for a while.

"If Lord Jin doesn't have enough money, you can lend Lord Jin a sum of money, and then return it to Lord Jin when it's convenient." At this time, Mr. Li saw Jin Zongrui's unspeakable secret, so he smiled and said, "If Lord Jin can join in, then I can rest assured." ”

"That doesn't seem like a good thing." Kim Jong-seo immediately understood what Mr. Lee meant, and Mr. Lee hoped that he could protect the business of Incheon Port from interference by other forces, so he was willing to provide him with a sum of money, to put it bluntly, to spend money to buy peace.

Although Kim Zongrui had no money, he learned from Park Gaode that Mr. Li had a very big business, so it was just a gesture to get a sum of money.

"Lord Jin, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, after this village, there will be no such shop." Seeing that Jin Zongrui was a little hesitant, Park Gaode stepped forward and whispered, it is obvious that among those high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Seoul, Jin Zongrui is not the only one who can cooperate with Mr. Lee, once Kim Zongrui refuses, Mr. Li will find others to cooperate.

"Mr. Li, how much can you lend to this official?" Jin Zongrui couldn't help but be moved when he heard this, he naturally knew that there were many dignitaries and nobles that Mr. Li could cooperate with, so he asked tentatively after pondering for a while.

"I have calculated that with the land price of Incheon Port, there are 100,000 taels of silver enough to take it all." Mr. Li smiled slightly when he heard this, "Therefore, the gold and silver brought by this time to Korea are equivalent to 100,000 taels of silver." ”

"One hundred thousand taels!" When Jin Zongrui heard this, a shocked look suddenly appeared on his face, 100,000 taels of silver could be enough for the military salary of the soldiers in the six towns in the northeast for five years.

That's right, in view of the living conditions in North Korea, the military salary of the six towns in the northeast for five years is only about 100,000 taels of silver, and they can eat very well.

"Mr. Li, I know that you have a lot of money, but you can take out so much money at one time, which really opens your eyes." Park Gaode laughed when he heard this, and said with emotion.

"Brother Pu, the younger brother is only insignificant in the Ming business world, and there are more people with strong financial resources than the younger brother like a carp crossing the river." Mr. Li smiled and waved his hand, and smiled disapprehantly.

"Mr. Li, how much can you lend to Master Jin?" Park Gaode glanced at Jin Zongrui, smiled and asked, this kind of thing can't let Jin Zongrui speak.

"Brother Park, Master Kim, younger brother thinks so, we each have a few percent of the business in Incheon Port, and the funds are distributed according to the proportion." Mr. Li pondered for a moment and said his plan, "Regarding the proportion, the younger brother is fifty percent, and the two are two percent five, I don't know what the two of you think?" ”

"Two into five, that is, twenty-five thousand taels of silver, can only take out so much in the future." Park Gaode nodded when he heard this, and had no opinion on Mr. Lee's distribution plan, although he was considered a huge wealth among Korean merchants, it was not easy to suddenly take out 25,000 taels of silver.

"Twenty-five thousand taels!" Jin Zongrui muttered to himself, his brows furrowed tightly, the amount of money was too huge, and the sudden incident made him unable to make up his mind for a while.

"Lord Kim, if you are worried that it is inconvenient to borrow money from here, you can borrow it from Boss Park." Mr. Li saw Kim Jong-seo's scruples, so he said with a smile that he didn't mind giving the money to Park Jong-deok first, and then Park Jong-seok lent it to Kim Jong-seo.

"That's very good." Jin Zongrui couldn't help but have a look of embarrassment on his face when he heard this, and nodded after a deep groan, after all, Park Gaode is a North Korean national, and it is better for him to borrow money from Park Gaode than from Mr. Lee.

"Master Kim, where will you send the money?" A smile appeared on the corner of Mr. Li's mouth when he heard this, and he asked quietly.

"The camp outside the city." Jin Zongrui thought about it, and slowly spit out four words in his mouth, it was obvious that this money was not suitable for his home in Seoul, even if something happened, he could have an excuse.

"Tomorrow, I will send the silver to the adults, and the adults can give Boss Park an IOU after counting the quantity." A smile appeared on the corner of Mr. Li's mouth, and he raised his wine glass and said, "Come, I wish us a happy cooperation." ”

Park Gaode and Kim Jong-seo immediately picked up their wine glasses, and the three of them touched each other, and then drank them all, which also means that the cooperation between the three has been reached.

"My little brother has bought a new prostitute, and I feel that his dancing skills are acceptable, so it is better to toast us." After putting down the wine glass in his hand, Mr. Li said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll wait to see its graceful dancing." Park Gaode was the first to applaud, with Mr. Lee's financial resources, he would definitely not find ordinary prostitutes to dance here, and there must be something unique.

"Come on, let Miss Jin in." Mr. Li smiled slightly when he heard this, slapped his face outside the door, and an attendant immediately bowed in, and he commanded in a deep voice.

As the attendant departed, a prostitute dressed in traditional Goryeo dress stepped into the room, with a beautiful face and a graceful figure, and in terms of appearance, he was the best candidate for prostitutes in Seoul.

If the North Korean national worker Cao Counselor Park Sanze is here, he will be surprised to find that this Jin girl is his righteous daughter Jin Shan, and that Mr. Li is naturally Li Yuntian.

Kim Sun's appearance immediately attracted the attention of Park Go-deok and Kim Jong-seo, and the eyes of the two were focused on Kim Sun's body, nodding secretly, it is undeniable that Kim Sun's beauty is outstanding among women.

With the soft music Kim Sun dancing in the field, Li Yuntian quietly tasted the liquor in the wine glass, tonight's plan was very smooth, he not only met Kim Jong-seo smoothly through Park Gaode, but also made Kim Jong-seo agree to cooperate in the business of Incheon Port, so that he would have a handle in his hands.

For Jin Zongrui, Li Yuntian did not want to use the power in his hands to make him passively submit, he wanted to make Jin Zongrui lose convincingly.

To tell the truth, Li Yuntian's other things are true except for concealing his identity, and it is clear that he wants to open up his trade rights to the DPRK, not because the DPRK is special, but because the DPRK will become a province of the Ming Dynasty at that time, and naturally there will be no trade restrictions.

Therefore, Li Yuntian is not lying, and the port of Incheon will become the most important and main port for trade between the Joseon State and the Ming Dynasty by that time, and it will definitely prosper because of it.

In other words, once Jin Zongrui obstructs the annexation of Korea to the Ming Dynasty, then he will have to pay back Li Yuntian's 25,000 taels of silver, but how can he have this money?

Obviously, if the Korean state does not become a province of the Ming Dynasty, then the trade between the two sides will not develop, and relying on tributary trade alone is not enough to promote the development of Incheon Port, which means that the land price of Incheon Port will not be worth anything, and Kim Jong-rui will not take over even if he wants to sell the land in his hand.

In this way, Li Yuntian gave Jin Zongrui a problem, once he couldn't return Li Yuntian's silver taels, then his career would be at the end.

At this moment, Jin Zongrui would never have thought that he had been calculated by Li Yuntian, and this Mr. Li, who seemed to be polite, was the loyal king of the Ming Dynasty that he hated deeply.

After the banquet, Li Yuntian did not stay in the brothel like Park Gaode and Kim Jong-seo, he seemed to be drunk, and was carried by two attendants, and staggered away.

Li Yuntian was not used to sitting in a sedan chair like a small house in North Korea, so he rode in a two-wheeled carriage in Seoul, and Kim Sun helped him into the carriage drunk, and left under the watchful eyes of Park Gaode and Kim Jong-rui, who went out to see him off.
