Ming Zuo

Chapter 928 Coordination
"How's the fighting in Busan going?"

For almost half a month, Zuo Menggeng was most concerned about the situation in Busan.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing his words, Liu Yiyuan smiled wryly.

"That Jin Zidian is still stuck in Daegu, and has not advanced a step. The Fourth Division waits and waits, and wants to take the initiative."

Hearing the situation, Zuo Menggeng couldn't help being surprised.

"Haven't there been a fight yet? These North Koreans are really..."

Daegu to Busan is only so far away, even if you climb it, you have already arrived.As a result, the North Korean army led by Jin Zidian did not even move.

Liu Yiyuan still has something new here.

"I heard that Cui Mingji, the judge of the official Cao, and Li Shibai, the defender, have arrived, and they also brought [-] troops."

Zuo Menggeng thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Cui Mingji, the compromise sender, will not be able to fight for a while. Maybe this guy will go to Busan to negotiate."

Regarding the situation in North Korea, Liu Yiyuan scratched his head helplessly.

"Since the North Koreans are not in a hurry, then we are even less in a hurry. Just procrastinate."

There is a rebellious force in Busan, obviously the most anxious person must be Li Ji.

When he sees that the front-line army can't start the situation, Li Zhen will definitely take risks.

Liu Yiyuan, the commander-in-chief, was free and began to care about other things.

"Mr. Sun Ge and Mr. Nian Tai are old, how dare you take them out to sea? What should you do if something goes wrong?"

Zuo Menggeng didn't act like a fool on the spur of the moment.

"In Busan, Kim Sang-heon, Shen Qiyuan and other Korean scholar-bureaucrats are quite conservative in their thinking, and they often have conflicts with us. I am afraid that it will intensify in the future and affect the overall situation. Since these people are all Confucian children, if Nian Taigong and others and They communicate more, maybe it can influence them."

The current situation of the alliance in Busan is very delicate.

Although under the strength of Xia Guo, the literati and bureaucrats in North Korea made a slight compromise.But Zuo Menggeng didn't know where the limit of this kind of tolerance was.

In the end, Kim Sang-heon and others just couldn't accept that North Korea worshiped barbarians like the Manchus as their ministers, but in their bones, feudal ideology still dominated.

This created a fierce conflict with Xia Guo's new ideas.

If one day class conflicts surpass ethnic and national conflicts, maybe these people will become hidden dangers.

To solve this problem, we need to start from two aspects.

One is the field of thought.

Jin Shangxian, Shen Qiyuan and others are all great Confucianists in North Korea. They have profound knowledge of Confucianism, and at the same time they have a lot of admiration for Confucianists in the Central Plains.

Now that Liu Zongzhou, Sun Qifeng, Lu Shanji and others have come to North Korea, these North Korean Confucians will definitely be overjoyed.

As long as there are more exchanges and in-depth discussions between the two sides, it will definitely play a certain role in transforming the thinking of these Korean scholar-bureaucrats.

Another aspect is the economic field.

Economics is the foundation of politics.

Although Xia's system will have an impact on the inherent interests of North Korean scholar-bureaucrats, if they can find compensation for them in other aspects through economic means, I believe these people will definitely choose to surrender in the face of greater interests.

The progress of capitalism in European countries has well proved this point.

Traditional feudal lords have a certain chance of transforming into newborn capitalists.

After all, the benefits brought about by economic development are far beyond what can be compared with the income from land.

This clear distinction between high and low is a good way to win over Korean scholar-bureaucrats.

Understanding Zuo Menggeng's profound meaning, Liu Yiyuan had nothing to say except giving a thumbs up.

Since Busan hadn't fought yet, Zuo Menggeng also relaxed and began to care about the layout of Jeju Island.

He first visited the Jeju Island Racecourse.

"Look, Your Highness, we have planted a new type of pasture here. The climate of Jeju Island is very mild and the rainfall is abundant, so the pasture grows very well. The horses brought in have been crossed and have a second generation. Now the entire horse farm There are a total of nearly [-] large and small horses. According to estimates, it is likely to exceed [-] by next year."

Standing on the pasture, I watched countless horses scattered everywhere, some were grazing leisurely, and some were running wildly.

The sky is high and the land is wide, and the sea breeze is gentle, which is really refreshing.

"What is the quality of the crossbred horses?"

King Yu Bin's face was flushed.

"Although the hybrid horses born vary from good to bad, the overall quality is far superior to that of our native horses, and they can definitely be used in the military. You see, this is a one and a half year old foal, but it is already taller and stronger than our adult horses .”

Zuo Menggeng's eyes widened when he saw the little pony brought to him.

The foal was clearly a cross between a Mawari horse and an Arabian horse, with characteristics of both stallions.Although the limbs are slender, the horseshoes are very broad.You can feel the powerful force even when you walk, but you can imagine how majestic it will be once you run with all your strength.

"This shows that our horse improvement strategy is correct, and you must persevere here. If you need anything, please report to me, and I will solve it for you."

Both Yu Binwang and Huang Zaisheng said that there is everything here, and there is nothing missing.

In addition to raising war horses, another concern of Zuo Menggeng is the agricultural development of Jeju Island.

"It's the first time that your subordinate knows that Jeju Island has so much fertile land. It's really a shame that it was only regarded as a remote and wild place in the past."

In front of Zuo Menggeng, both Shen Daoxun and Li Chong couldn't hold their heads up.

They have been officials here for a long time, but they belonged to being a monk for a day and hitting the clock for a day. They muddled along and didn't think there was anything special about this place.

But after Xia Guo came, Jeju Island began to be fully developed.

In particular, experts from the Ministry of Agriculture found that there are fertile fields and fertile soil everywhere, and they immediately showed their talents.

After one year of land reclamation and one year of cultivation, fertile fields can be seen everywhere in Jeju Island today, and it is no longer the desolate appearance of the past.

The person in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture here is Zhang Xiaozhen, who is an apprentice taught by Chen Zilong from the first leader.

Seeing Zuo Menggeng, he began to report good news and complain.

"Your Highness, last year, Jeju Island's food production has already caught up with Dongsan Prefecture in Shandong. Even if we don't need to transport food from the mainland, it is enough to meet the needs of the front line in Busan. The only problem is that our manpower is seriously insufficient and we can't take care of those people. A lot of fields. If possible, can you send us some labor.”

Hearing that the grain production of Jeju Island is already so impressive, how can Zuo Menggeng not pay attention?

He thought about it, but there was a good overall plan.

"Nowadays there are a large number of North Korean people gathered in Busan, but the area in Busan is limited and not enough to accommodate such a large population. It is entirely possible to transport labor from there to enrich the production here."

When Shen Daoxun and Zhang Xiaozhen heard this, they all applauded.
