Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 545 Xu Cheng's Beautiful Life

Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea.

Although the Korean peninsula is cold and windy in the cold winter, in the palace of King Wiman of Joseon, it is a different scene at this moment.

The huge palace gate completely shielded the cold wind from the outside, and some of the gaps between the doors and windows were covered with sewn animal skin curtains.

In the slightly dilapidated hall, a large-scale banquet is in progress.

Sitting high at the top of the main hall, of course the current King of Joseon, Weiman, is on the right hand of Weiman, the Prime Minister of Joseon, Weiri, and his left hand is not a minister of Joseon, but a man dressed in obvious clothes and all the officials in the palace. There are some different old people.

I saw that the old man had already taken off his luxurious fur clothes under the smoke of the fire in the hall, and on his left and right sides, a beautiful Korean maidservant was feeding delicious food to his mouth one by one.

The charcoal fire in the hall was like a spring day, and the thin dresses on the two maidservants could not even block the radiance of spring.

The old man followed Ziying's order and came to North Korea to act as a money-spreading boy named Xu Cheng.

After Xu Cheng came to Pyongyang City, he directly exchanged four shops in the four corners of Pyongyang City with grain, and then started the great cause of prodigal.

North Korea's business is still in an extremely primitive state, and bartering is still the mainstream of this excess, which also provides convenience for Xu Cheng to complete Ziying's entrustment.

In the grain store in the city, a piece of wolf skin can only be exchanged for a stone of grain?At Xu's Grain Store, a wolf skin can be exchanged for three stones!

A piece of aged wild ginseng might only be able to exchange for one day's food for a family in the past, but it can be exchanged for a week's ration at Xu's Grain Store.

Moreover, Xu's Grain Store has a very mixed appetite, so it doesn't matter what you say.

The "generosity" of Xu's Grain Shop finally exploded after Pu Gouzi, a dilapidated household outside the city, went to Maoshan to dig a cart of stones for a few days in exchange for a large amount of food.

Everyone around Pyongyang knows that a group of Qin people came to the city who are stupid and rich in food, and they can go to him to exchange food with stones.

In this era, the wealthy aristocratic class is naturally a minority, and more are the abjectly poor class who cannot afford food. What's more, the situation in North Korea, which is adjacent to Yan State, was not much better when there was a famine last year.

However, Wei Man, who was a survivor of the Yan State during the Warring States Period, gave him ten courages, and he did not dare to provoke Da Qin.

At this time, Xu Cheng's arrival opened a new door for the suffering North Korean people.

The North Korean people who couldn’t get enough to eat didn’t even care about the heavy snow closing the mountains, so they rushed into the mountains to hunt wild animals, dig wild ginseng, and go to Xu’s grain store to exchange for food.

It doesn't matter even if you don't get any goods, go to Maoshan to dig some hard black and brown stones, although they are not as good as fur ginseng, you can still exchange enough food for the family. (The Musan Iron Mine in North Korea is a worldwide open-pit mine, mostly magnetite, mainly black)
Such a stupid big family has arrived in Pyongyang, it is naturally impossible for Weiman, the king of Joseon, not to know.

He summoned Xu Cheng for an audience at the first time, and Xu Cheng was also very conscientious. When he first went to the North Korean palace, he sent someone to carry ten boxes of silk, silk, satin, treasures and antiques as gifts.

Wei Man was just a mid-level and low-level military officer in the previous Yan Kingdom era. After overthrowing the Djagoon Dynasty and capturing Pyongyang, what he occupied was an empty palace. Chen Han went.

Weiman couldn't find much oil and water in this bitter cold place for a while, even the palace he lived in was a "cultural relic" from who knows how many years ago.

It is conceivable that Xu Cheng brought these ten boxes of treasures from the Daqin treasury to Weiman's shock.

After seeing these treasures, Wei Mandang regarded Xu Cheng as his most honored guest, not one of them.

If it wasn't for the fact that Xu Cheng's food wasn't transported to North Korea all at once, but was transported bit by bit from the neighboring country of Yan as needed, Weiman, the dignified king of North Korea, would have thought of being a bandit.

And Wei Man invited Xu Cheng to the palace for banquets and games every day, for no other reason than because Xu Cheng, a friend, was generous enough, and every time he came, he would bring a very rich gift.

And in the slow communication, Wei Man also gradually knew the true identity of Xu Chengda, a high-ranking Qin official, and he respected Xu Cheng even more.

If Daqin invaded North Korea to seize his wealth, Weiman would naturally resist desperately. However, if Daqin came to do business with North Korea, and it was such an obvious business of sending food and treasures to North Korea, Weiman would naturally not refuse.

Moreover, Great Qin is so powerful that it is all right to surrender even in name when necessary. Maybe you can also use this to obtain a certain amount of assistance in terms of weapons and food from Great Qin.

If this is the case, I can train the army with all my strength to attack Chen Han, who has taken in the remnants of Osmunda japonica, and Ma Han, who has never surrendered, without worrying about the lack of food and weapons.

With other thoughts in mind, Wei Man naturally raised the standard of serving Xu Cheng by a few more points. Now Xu Cheng and Uncle Xu can even stay overnight in the North Korean palace, and he is served by carefully selected maids in the palace. If it wasn't for Uncle Xu who is now in his fifties or even a few years older than Wei Man, maybe Uncle Xu would become the son-in-law of North Korea.
