"Brother Park, aren't we Mr. Li who met by chance tonight?" After Li Yuntian's carriage disappeared around the corner of the street, Jin Zongrui, who was full of alcohol, couldn't help but ask Park Gaode beside him, after experiencing the events of the night, he felt that he was going to a Hongmen banquet tonight.

"Lord Kim, if you hadn't come back to Seoul today, I'm afraid it would be someone else who attended this banquet tonight." Park Gaode did not deny it, smiled slightly and lowered his voice and said, "But I can't trust anyone else, it's better to cooperate with Lord Kim." ”

"Is this Mr. Li reliable?" Jin Zongrui groaned for a moment when he heard this, and asked solemnly, he always felt that today's events were a little too sudden, and he felt inexplicably uneasy in his heart.

"Mr. Li is a big businessman in the Ming Dynasty, his news is absolutely reliable, as long as we buy the land in Incheon Port, then we will wait to make a big profit." A smile appeared on the corner of Park Gaode's mouth, and he replied with an affirmative face, he must be talking to Li Yuntian, because he is also a pawn planted by Li Yuntian in North Korea.

If it weren't for Li Yuntian's secret help, Park Gaode would not have become famous in one fell swoop in the ginseng incident, gaining fame and fortune, and he would not have had a smooth business in the next few years, and gradually became a giant of the North Korean state, everything was Li Yuntian's support behind the scenes.

Park Gaode's approach to Kim Zongrui was naturally also inspired by Li Yuntian, who knew that it would not be easy to convince people like Kim Zongrui, so he had already started the layout in advance, and its purpose was to smoothly solve the strength of the four counties and six towns of the most elite country in North Korea.

Now, Park Gaode finally came in handy, and Li Yuntian easily set a trap on Kim Zongrui through him, so that Jin Zongrui ran straight into his gun.

"Brother Park, if you have enough funds, when will you be able to take those lands in Incheon Port?" Kim Jong-seo felt that Park Gaode was reasonable, and after a deep sigh, he asked, in his opinion, that Mr. Lee looked quite shrewd and did not look like a wronged man, and he would definitely not leave the money in Incheon Port for no reason.

"The land in Incheon Port is all official land, and it is useless, so as long as you open the joints inside, you can quickly take it down." Park Gaode smiled when he heard this, stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation to Kim Jong-rui, and said as he walked into the brothel, "If everything goes well, you can get the title deed in half a month." ”

Jin Zongrui nodded when he heard this, and naturally knew what Park Gaode meant by "joints", and the relevant officials must be served well in buying and selling those official lands, and only in this way can they not be troubled by them.

Therefore, don't look at Li Yuntian's calculation of 100,000 taels of land purchase money, in addition to the benefits to relevant people, it is already thankful that 50,000 taels can become the land purchase money.

At the same time, in the carriage of the carriage.

Li Yuntian leaned on the wall of the carriage and closed his eyes to take a nap, Jin Shan sat nervously opposite, this was the first time she had such close contact with Li Yuntian, it was hard to imagine that the loyal king of the Ming Dynasty would be in front of her.

"Good dance tonight." Just when Jin Shan was curiously looking at Li Yuntian with his chin in his hands, Li Yuntian suddenly opened his eyes and looked at her, and said with a smile.

"Thank you for your praise." Jin Shan's cheeks couldn't help but redden, and he hurriedly bowed down and thanked him.

"It's probably going to be you these days." Due to the dim light in the carriage, Li Yuntian didn't notice the change in Jin Shan's face, and after a deep groan, he said, "From tonight onwards, you and this king will live in the mansion outside, and as for this king's identity, don't reveal it to anyone." ”

"The folk girl understands." Jin Shan nodded hurriedly, replied solemnly, and secretly bit his lip, cheap and more and more ruddy.

In order to make Jin Zongrui completely fall into the trap and leave, Li Yuntian is ready to perform this play, so he will definitely move to a house in Seoul to live, this house is Park Gaode's property in Seoul, because Park Gaode still has two houses in Seoul, so he gave that house to Li Yuntian to stay.

In other words, Li Yuntian needs Jin Shan to serve these days, and he will take Jin Shan out of the city to play in the mountains and rivers, anyway, there are very few people in the Korean country who know him, even if he saw it when he entered the city before, it is estimated that he has almost forgotten it now.

Besides, Li Yuntian must be cautious and cautious, and his identity will not be exposed, so who can believe that Li Yuntian will go out of the city to play?

After arriving at the house that Park Gaode had prepared for Li Yuntian, the drunken Li Yuntian was helped in by his entourage and went straight to the bedroom in the backyard.

Jin Shan followed up in the bedroom and waited, until she was busy for most of the day before she came out, a look of disappointment appeared on her face, she originally thought that Li Yuntian would let her sleep, but she didn't expect Li Yuntian to let her leave like this.

Li Yuntian's residence for Jin Shan is in the wing room next door, although Li Yuntian is very popular with women, but he is not a prodigal son who is merciful, so he has no intention of letting Jin Shan sleep at all, the reason why he let Jin Shan come with her is mainly because she is from North Korea, so that he can cover his identity.

Lying on the bed, Li Yuntian put his hands behind his head and looked at the roof, he was not worried about the situation in North Korea now, but worried about the situation in the capital, with Li Qingzheng's arrest, the large-scale conflict between the inner court and the civilian clique was unavoidable, God knows what kind of big chaos will happen.

In Li Yuntian's view, the inner court and the civil official group, as the decision-making and executive bodies of the Ming Dynasty's government affairs, once the two sides get into trouble, then the affairs of the major yamen in the capital will be affected, and then affect the operation of the local yamen, which is not a scene he wants to see.

However, because he was overseas, Li Yuntian was helpless in the face of the situation in the capital, so he could only secretly wait for news from the capital, if the orthodox emperor could not deal with the conflict between the inner court and the civil official group, then he would definitely issue an edict to summon him back to Beijing to deal with the aftermath.

"Leave it to fate." Li Yuntian felt that he was really worried now, and after smiling bitterly, he slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep, the so-called not in his position and not in his government, the affairs of the capital will be a headache for the people in the capital, and his top priority is to do the things in front of him well.

The next morning, Li Yuntian left Seoul with Kim Sun and went to the nearby mountains to play, looking full of interest.

Just as Li Yuntian thought, Jin Zongrui sent someone to secretly investigate Li Yuntian's background, after all, Li Yuntian appeared too suddenly, and gave him such a big deal.

As a result, Kim Jong-seo found nothing, and Mr. Li, who lived in Park Gaode's house, did not have the slightest suspicion, and the only impression was that he was rich and rich, and he gave a lot of rewards to the subordinates in the house.

The subordinates in the house were prepared by Park Gaode, and they didn't know Li Yuntian's true identity, so they calmly coped with Jin Zongrui's investigation.

At the same time, at noon, two carriages drove into the camp outside Seoul, and Park Gaode personally brought the 25,000 taels of silver to Kim Jong-seo.

It is said to be silver, but in fact, a lot of it is gold, which is exactly 25,000 taels when converted into silver.

After his subordinates finished inspecting it, Kim Jong-seo wrote an IOU to Park Go-deok as agreed, pressed his handprint, and stamped it, so that the gold and silver belonged to him.

Jin Zongrui attached great importance to this money, and specially sent his henchmen to guard it, and when Park Gaode negotiated the land sale, he would take it out and hand it over, and then he would have a lot of more land deeds in his hands.

After finishing the 25,000 taels, Jin Zongrui invited Park Gaode to spend time in the brothel at night, and Park Gaode did him a great favor this time, and after those land deeds were obtained, he waited to make huge profits, so that the military salaries of the six towns in the northeast would be settled, and he would not be controlled by others.

Jin Zongrui not only thanked Park Gaode, but also asked Park Gaode for advice on business matters, after all, it is better to teach people to fish than to teach people to fish, although there is a lot of money for reselling land, there will always be a day when it will be spent, so it is better to invest it in business, so that you can make more money, and you are not afraid that Li Yuntian will cut off his military salary again.

Park Gaode enthusiastically explained to Kim Jong-seo that in fact, the most profitable business was done with the Ming Dynasty, but due to the restrictions of tributary trade, there was a quota for business every year, which made the merchants of the Korean state compete very fiercely with each other, and they often have to fight for their heads in order to get quotas.

This made Jin Zongrui feel very disappointed, because he didn't have the energy to compete for those quotas, but if the Ming really opened trade to Korea, there would be more opportunities to make money, which made him feel very conflicted.

Jin Zongrui's psychological fluctuations soon spread to Li Yuntian, Li Yuntian had long expected that Jin Zongrui would do this, after all, Jin Zongrui had already suffered enough from being cut off from his military salary, and he would definitely have to plan for the future.

It was precisely because of Jin Zongrui's desire to get rid of the psychology of being controlled by military salaries that Li Yuntian was able to set him up, and Jin Zongrui broke into the trap set by Li Yuntian.

Just when Li Yuntian was traveling in the mountains and rivers, an important person arrived in Seoul, and this person was Cui Yande, the commander of the four northwestern counties of the Pyongan Province.

Cui Yunde did not come to Seoul alone this time, he brought 800 elite cavalry, and also lived in the barracks outside Seoul, and Jin Zongrui's people were in the south and north of the barracks.

Kim Jong-seo and Choi also wanted to let those cavalry garrison in Seoul, but unfortunately, the Seoul military camp was already full, so they had to retreat and let their soldiers settle outside the city.

Unlike Jin Zongrui, as soon as Cui Yunde entered Seoul, he first went to the Hancheng Office of Jiangwutang to meet Li Yuntian, and brought a large number of local products of Ping'an Dao with him.

Since Li Yuntian was not in Seoul, Cui Yande naturally couldn't see him, but Liu Zhen came out to meet Cui Yunde, accepted the gifts he sent, and left him for a meal, which was very different from Jin Zongrui's treatment.

After Cui Yande left the Hancheng Division, he went to the Shouyang Prince's Mansion as soon as possible, and went to see Li Jin, the Lord of Shouyang, who was very excited about Cui Yande's arrival, and he would be a lot more relieved to have Cui Yande contain Jin Zongrui.

Like Jin Zongrui, Cun Yunde also became a jury in Li Jue's case, and under the secret obstruction of Li Ji and others, Li Jue's case progressed very slowly, after all, this case is a very important matter, and Li Ji and others demanded a thorough investigation of the authenticity of all evidence.

As a result, those involved in the case were unlucky, and they were beaten to death in the Righteous Forbidden Mansion, and they did not admit or deny those evidences:

If they admit that the evidence is fake, then Huang Xi and the others will definitely not let them go, but if they say that the evidence is true, they will be dealt with by Li Ji and others.

As a result, after the forces of Li Ji and Huang Xi took turns to fight, the progress of the trial almost came to a standstill, which made Liu Shangmin very helpless.

Although Liu Shangmin was the presiding judge, his power and prestige were not as good as Li Ji and Huang Xi, and it was difficult to use Li Yuntian to suppress the two, so he had to let the forces of both sides use heavy punishment against those involved in the case in order to get the answers they wanted.

In other words, Liu Shangmin has actually lost control of the trial of the case, and Li Ji and Huang Xi have reached the point where they are about to tear their faces in order to ensure the interests of Li Jue and Li Yao, and he is powerless to stop it at all, so he can only go with the flow.

Li Yuntian naturally knew the chaos in the Righteous Forbidden Mansion, but he didn't plan to get involved in this matter, since Liu Shangmin asked Li Ji and Huang Xi to serve as jurors, he had already guessed this result, in his opinion, the more fierce the two sides were, the better, and after they made a mess, he could take advantage of the situation to solve Li Jue's case.

One night in early September, Lee Yuntian met with Park Gaode and Kim Jong-seo at the last brothel to celebrate their acquisition of the land in the port of Incheon.

Under the covert dredging of Park Gaode, the relevant yamen of the North Korean state gave the green light one after another, and agreed to Park Gaodeok's purchase of the land of Incheon Port, so that Park Gaode bought all the official land near Incheon Town.

It is worth mentioning that the money that Park Gaode spent on the purchase of land was only 30,000 taels of silver, and the remaining 70,000 taels all went into the pockets of the relevant officials.

Since the war between Li Jue and Li Jue, due to the turbulent situation in Korea, the officials of the various yamen have been fortunate to have their stomachs full, and they have no chance to make foreign money, so they will definitely not let go of this opportunity to make a fortune, and they have made a lot of money from it.

Previously, why Park Gaode said that he could buy the land of Incheon Port in half a month at the earliest, it was because the officials who had suffered a lot of dreams at night were afraid that the time would be delayed for too long and there would be any waves on the way, so when Park Gaode was ready to buy the land, those relevant yamen showed a very high efficiency and quickly sold the land to him, and both parties ended up happy.

In this way, even if someone wants to find trouble, it will be too late, and the real money and silver of the land purchased by Park Gaode in full accordance with the process have been handed over to the North Korean treasury, so that the treasury that has long been dried up is finally full, which is a good thing for the North Korean state, at least to solve some of the arrears of salaries of the Yamen.

As for the officials who questioned that the land was sold cheaply, and the officials who endured it were dismissive, who else but Park Gaodeok had so much money to buy those barren wasteland in Incheon Port? Those who think that the land price is low have the ability to find a seller with a higher bid!

According to the prior agreement, Li Yuntian got the title deed of 50% of the land, and Park Gaode and Kim Jong-rui each got the title deed of 20% and 5% of the land, and the three of them waited for the Ming Dynasty to announce free trade with the Korean state and use the land to make a big profit, and the land in Incheon Port will definitely rise rapidly.
