Man Tanghong

Chapter 817

"In addition, the city where our Great Tang army is stationed can only be managed by our Great Tang officials. If the people of our Great Tang violate any laws in Silla, you can only be handed over to our Great Tang officials for punishment.

The most important thing is that all the food and grass consumed by our Great Tang army during their garrison in Silla must be supplied by you Silla. "

Li Yuanji finished most of the conditions in one breath, but did not say the rest.

There is no need to say anything about other conditions such as having the priority mining rights in Silla, just ask the people from Honglu Temple to discuss with Kinderman in detail later.

As the leader of Datang, he only needs to tell Kinderman some general and more important conditions.

There is no need for him to talk about other things. If he talks too much, he, the leader of the Tang Dynasty, will lose face.

Kinderman seems to have known these conditions long ago, so after hearing these conditions, not only did he stop trembling, his tone was no longer complaining, and he said firmly: "I, Silla, can agree to these conditions..."

Li Yuanji smiled lightly: "Not only that, but other conditions are not so important. For example, my Tang army will help you fight in Silla, and you have to charge a certain fee.

Specifically, people from Honglu Temple will talk to you about it. "

Kinderman seemed to know this too, so he firmly agreed.

Li Yuanji nodded his head, said nothing more, and signaled Kinderman to go down.

Kinderman didn't move in a hurry, but hesitated for a while, and said in an awkward voice: "Don't you want to see the appearance of the minister, Your Highness?"

Li Yuanji guessed that she might be gritting her teeth, because the awkwardness in her speech was very similar to that of Yang Miaoyan when she was gritting her teeth.

Li Yuanji said with some amusement: "Why should I look at your appearance? Do you think you can confuse me with your beauty?"

Kinderman bowed his head and said nothing.

Li Yuanji said with emotion: "Are you so confident in your appearance?"

Kinderman said in a deep voice: "I am not confident about my appearance, but you can ask Your Highness to take a look."

Li Yuanji laughed and said: "It seems that I am begging you to give me a look. Well, since you are so confident in your appearance, then I will force myself to take a look."

As he spoke, he signaled Kinderman to take off his veil.

Kinderman was also polite, and took off the veil from one side, revealing her appearance bit by bit.

This set has obviously been learned, because there is a little bit of temptation in it.

After Kinderman took off the veil, a beautiful face was revealed to everyone in the hall.

All the eunuchs in the palace were stunned.

The Honglu Temple official who accompanied her in was also a little crazy.

She blinked her big eyes and looked at Li Yuanji provocatively.

Li Yuanji finally understood why Kinderman trembled so much when he said it was useless to ask for Kinderman, and why there was a bit of resentment in his tone.

This is probably because Kinderman was born noble and beautiful, and was used to being praised, pursued or coveted since she was a child, so she developed the idea that everyone is coveting her beauty.

That's why her reaction was so strong when he said it was useless to ask her.

Li Yuanji carefully looked at Kinderman's face. He had to admit that Kinderman was indeed beautiful. Although he was a bit young, he definitely ranked among the top three beauties he had ever seen.

Zheng Guanyin is not her opponent in terms of appearance, and it is estimated that she can beat her by a line in temperament.

If Xiao Shi was more than 20 years younger, he could compete with her.

As for the others, apart from being able to beat her in terms of temperament and talent, it is really difficult to win her in terms of appearance.

"That's it?"

Li Yuanji stared at Kinderman suspiciously and asked.

He admitted that for a moment he was interested in sex, but when he thought that possessing her was worthless except to indulge his desire, he lost interest in an instant.

The long-term interest in being in charge of Datang made him lose interest in many unchallenging things.

He really doesn't have much interest in such a woman that he can easily get.

Only those that are not easy to get and that can arouse his desire are worthy of his indulgence.

But deep down in his heart he didn't want to indulge himself.

Because he knows far more about men and women than most people in Datang, knows more tricks than most people in Datang, and he holds the power of Datang, once he lets go of himself It is a disaster for many people in Datang, and it is also for him.

Although many of the thoughts he came into contact with in later generations are persuading people to indulge themselves, but he knows that self-control is the most important thing in people.

If a person can't even control his own desires, if he is easily swayed by desires, easily led by the nose by desires, then he will easily lose himself, and finally become something that even he sees strangely.

He doesn't want to be like that.

"That's it?!"

"That's it?!"

"That's it?!"

Those two simple words kept echoing in Kinderman's ears, as well as in the ears of everyone in the hall.

Whether Kinderman or other people in the hall, they all looked at Li Yuanji as if they were looking at a devil.

Such a beautiful woman, a woman who is beautiful enough to bring disaster to the country and the people, a woman so beautiful that every man who sees her wants to keep her for himself, how can you say this?
It's like evaluating a maid in the palace who can't get on the stage at all? !

Kinderman couldn't accept it, and neither could the others in the temple.

If it weren't for the lack of knowledge and the limitations of the times, the eunuchs in the palace would definitely not mind giving the great King Yong a pair of reading glasses to let him take a closer look before making an evaluation.

Since his birth, Kinderman has never suffered this kind of 'humiliation'. His face was flushed, his eyes were wide open, and he looked at Li Yuanji fiercely.

"I thought you could scare me, but that's it?"

Li Yuanji waved his hand in disgust, signaling Kinderman to leave.

Kinderman became even more angry, his chest bulging, as if he wanted to reason with someone.

Li Yuanji was not in the mood to argue with Kinderman about her beauty and ugliness, and reminded him aloud: "If you really want to scare me, you can use a knife to cut your own face, and the scratches will be shattered. Maybe be intimidated.

OK, now you can go down. "

"Does His Royal Highness King Yong really think that the minister's appearance is mediocre, or is he restraining himself?"

Kinderman finally couldn't bear it anymore, and made a theory out loud.

Li Yuanji glanced at Kinderman indifferently and said, "Kinderman, you are rude!"

Seen by the indifferent eyes, Kinderman's heart beat wildly. After hearing the reminder, he realized that he had indeed been rude, so he hurriedly lowered his head and bowed, and left the Tai Chi Hall in a hurry without the help of the maid.

"Your Highness, I think that even if the Queen of Silla is not as beautiful as a fairy, she is also a beauty that is rare in the world. Why do you think her beauty is mediocre?"

When Kinderman was leaving, he was bumped into by Liu Jun. After finding out the situation from the visitor at the door, Liu Jun hurried into the hall to inquire, looking disgusted as a pimp.

Li Yuanji glanced at Liu Jun, and said angrily: "If you like it, I can let you contact her instead of the people from Honglu Temple. As for giving her to you, it will have to wait until the Great Tang conquers Silla talk about it later."

Liu Jun said with a smile on his face, "How can I be so lucky."

It has been cutting for many years, even if I have the heart, I don't have the strength.

Li Yuanji rolled his eyes at Liu Jun and said, "Do you still know that you don't have that blessing?"

Liu Jun hurriedly said: "But Your Highness, you have it."

Li Yuanji said in a bad tone: "What's the matter? Do you know how much it will cost you to offend her?"

This is a woman who, after becoming a queen, can write love letters to Li Shimin crazily and send all kinds of flirtatious things to Li Shimin.

If it gets infected, Datang will become her back garden plus a warehouse. It would be strange for her to send people over every now and then to get something and ask for something.

If she ran away with the ball, the number of troops sent by Datang to Silla would not only have to be doubled, but she would also have to serve her for free.

What a thank you.

If she can bring Silla inside and help Datang bring Silla into its territory, then this business will be worthwhile.

But according to history, neither she nor her cousin had any intention of attaching to Datang.

During her reign, she kept teasing Li Shimin, and during her cousin's reign, she kept teasing Li Zhi.

Under the protection of Li Shimin and Li Zhi, they thrived on the peninsula, and they didn't mean to attach Datang at all.

Therefore, it is impossible to expect her to bring Silla with him, and this business is doomed to fail.

Liu Jun doesn't know the history, and he doesn't think that Datang provoked Silla. The ruler of Datang forcibly accepted the princess of Silla. What price would he have to pay? Just stay. As for the rest, His Highness doesn’t need to think about it at all. It is the blessing of Silla that you can see the princess of Silla. If the king of Silla dares to make irresponsible remarks, the generals under your command will personally Go reason with him."

Li Yuanji glanced at Liu Jun speechlessly and said, "You don't know anything..."

Liu Jun stared suddenly, what should I know?
Just as he was about to ask a question, he heard Li Yuanji's order: "Send someone to send a message to Ren Gui, asking him to summon Liu Rengui, who joined the army in Xizhou, to have an audience."

Liu Rengui, a civil servant who was unknown in the Wude and Zhenguan dynasties, had been in the circle of civil servants for the first half of his life without much achievement.

In the second half of his life, Li Zhi, who was mentally incapable of awakening, slipped out of the circle of civil servants, threw him into the circle of military officials, and then began to shine.

It can be said that this is an all-rounder capable of both literature and martial arts.

When he died, he became a prime minister, and was posthumously named the governor of Bingzhou and the third division of Kaifu Yitong. His son enjoyed three hundred households in Shiyi.

This Shiyi is not a Shiyi, it is a reward that can truly control the lives of three hundred households.

After he died, his children and grandchildren could enjoy this kind of reward, which shows how respected his status was when he died.

It's just such a person who is now doing an insignificant military service in Xizhou in obscurity.

He was able to join the army because of Ren Gui.

It was Ren Gui who discovered his talent when he was governor of Henan Province, and temporarily appointed him to join the army in Xizhou. After Ren Gui was dispatched back to Chang'an City, his appointment was neither recognized nor revoked, and he was still a temporary worker. .

Originally, Li Yuanji hoped that he would continue to grind in the position of joining the army in Xizhou, and settle down.

But now Xinluo urgently needs someone to guard, and urgently needs someone to help Datang manage the city assigned to Datang by Silla, so Li Yuanji slipped him out.

Li Yuanji was not worried about whether he could manage Datang's army in Silla well, as well as Datang's cities and docks in Silla.

History has already helped to verify his cultural governance ability. Even if he is still very immature now, there is still no problem in managing a city where everything is decided by the Tang Dynasty and the sky is high and the emperor is far away.

His martial arts ability has been verified by history. He is also talented in martial arts. This talent is not only shown in his achievements in history. In fact, he has not been thrown into the circle of military officials. When he was young, he had already revealed a little talent in martial arts.

Otherwise, Ren Gui, who was the appeasement ambassador of Henan Province at the time, would not have given him an appointment to join the army in Xizhou after discovering him.

In history, he was transferred from joining the army to a county lieutenant, and then from a county lieutenant to a pure civil servant.

The county lieutenant in the Tang Dynasty belonged to the sequence of military officials, that is to say, when he became an official, he was actually a military official.

He has been in the position of joining the army in Xizhou for almost three years now, and he has a certain understanding of military affairs. It should not be a big problem to manage the troops stationed.

Datang will not send too many soldiers to Silla, at most two or three thousand, two or three thousand elite soldiers.

Datang didn't need to fight for Silla when Jin Baijing was still alive, as long as Datang's troops were in Silla to form a deterrent to Goguryeo and Baekje.

Therefore, there is no need for Datang to send more soldiers and horses, let alone worry that he will bury these soldiers and horses in Silla.

His early work in Silla may be to watch Silla help Datang build a good city, so that businessmen from Datang who go to Silla can take root in the city with peace of mind, and help Datang collect business taxes on the wharf by the way, and It's just to communicate with Jin Baijing on behalf of Datang.

Other than that, no other work is required.

This should be easy for him.

And in the early stage, he will not be allowed to be the chief officer, but only let him be the deputy.

The chief official has to choose from among Datang's existing courtiers who are neither important nor insignificant, so as to show that Datang attaches great importance to Silla, and Silla will be very happy to pay 'money'.

"Send someone to summon Li Daoli for an audience!"

Li Yuanji continued to give orders.

Li Daoli is undoubtedly the most suitable person to be the chief officer in the early stage. Silla asked Datang for help and asked Datang to send troops to sit in the town. Ping Qi, is this enough attention?
It is precisely because Li Daoli and Jin Baijing are on the same level that Li Daoli can refuse many rude requests from Jin Baijing, and urge Jin Baijing to fulfill all the promises he made to Datang.

Of course, the most important thing is to open a station in Silla, set up a wharf, and open up the commercial road between Datang and Silla, which will quickly give birth to a prosperous city on the seaside of Silla.

It is conceivable how profitable this city is.

So in the early stage, one of your own people must be sent to watch over it. When the city is built, the trade is stable, and the tax revenue is stable, then it will be handed over to other people to take over.

In this way, even if Tang Dynasty has no time to pay attention to Silla in a short period of time, it can still grasp this source of income.
