After King Lee Jong of Korea finished speaking, Zhu Youxiao fell silent and did not speak for a long time.
After a while, Zhu Youxiao looked at Li Zong and said, "This matter is a bit difficult to handle. You know that merchants from the Ming Dynasty have invested a lot of money here, all kinds of ranches and machinery. Many people also rely on these things to survive."
"Under such circumstances, if we really try to stop them by force, we'll be cutting off their chances of survival. Doing so will likely lead to chaos, so it's not a good idea."
After hearing this, King Lee Jong-un of Korea looked disappointed.
My guess turned out to be correct. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty really thought so and was prepared to do so.
Li Zong felt a little cold in his heart.
I have been so respectful to the Ming Dynasty, yet the Ming Dynasty still treats me like this?
Before you sold us anything, you were doing just fine. Now that you're so powerful, it's all thanks to us. We've been so obedient, yet you still treat us like this?
Zhu Youxiao looked at Li Zong's disappointed face, but he didn't care at all.
Because when the story is finished, Li Zong will not be disappointed, but will smile happily.
After a long silence, Zhu Youxiao said, "Although the matter is difficult, there is a solution."
After hearing this, Li Zong immediately stood up, fell to his knees and said, "Your Majesty, please save the people of Korea!"
"We can't touch you or us in this matter, so we have to find a solution elsewhere." Zhu Youxiao looked at Li Zong with a sullen face and said, "I wonder if you've been harassed by Japanese pirates recently? These pirates are so ambitious and lawless."
Although he didn't know why the emperor of the Ming Dynasty shifted the blame to the Japanese pirates, Li Zong understood it after thinking about it. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty said that neither the Ming Dynasty nor Korea could be touched, which simply meant that no one could be touched, so let's touch Japan.
This made Li Zong excited immediately, and his eyes lit up.
Is the Ming Dynasty going to make the decision for us? Is it going to go to war with Japan?
If you were to ask, which country is the worst to North Korea?
Then there is no one else except Japan. The last time I was beaten, I almost lost my country.
I want to retaliate, but my strength does not allow it. Now if Daddy Daming helps me get revenge, I will definitely be very happy.
It was impossible not to be excited. Li Zong was so happy that he was looking forward to what Daming's father would do.
"Yes, they still harass us all the time." Li Zong said with a sad face.
In fact, Zhu Youxiao knew very well that since the three major expeditions of the Wanli period, Japan had been severely damaged and it was basically impossible for it to carry out any large-scale military operations again.
Even if there were any harassment, it was only caused by a small group of Japanese pirates, and they are no longer a threat now.
This is just one excuse. Back then, Japanese pirates were rampant, harassing not only the Ming Dynasty but also Korea. During the Wanli reign, they even attacked Korea and nearly destroyed it. Under such circumstances, hatred naturally arose.
"How about this? Our two families team up and go to Japan together." Zhu Youxiao looked at Li Zong and said directly, "We can sell our goods to you, and then you can sell them back to Japan. This way, not only will we not hurt you, but you can actually make a lot of money. So why not?"
After hearing this, Li Zong was a little excited, but he was not a fool.
They were able to be middlemen before, so why can’t they do it?
Isn’t it because we can’t get through to Japan?
There is no way to sell the stuff.
"I'm afraid that won't work." Li Zong said with a sad face, "We are all enemies. There is no way we can do business with each other."
Zhu Youxiao glanced at Li Zong without saying anything.
To be honest, this King of Korea is really not that capable. He is not even as good as those profiteers of the Ming Dynasty.
If it were those unscrupulous businessmen in the Ming Dynasty, they would have taken smuggling to new heights long ago.
But this is the current national situation in North Korea. Party strife is particularly serious, even more serious than that in the Ming Dynasty. People's brains have been beaten out of their pig brains.
There are also women in the harem interfering in politics and ruling the country from behind the scenes. It is simply a hodgepodge of power struggles from ancient times to the present.
