Chapter 2285: The Causes of Slavery and Trade

It was late at night, and it was almost the sixth day of the first lunar month. A group of people were sitting in the living room drinking tea.

"Last year, they had an envoy going back, and they sent another envoy and trade team here.

The location there borders the tribes affected by our Tang Dynasty and Bohai.

The main force of Bohai is not there, it is other tribes, and it fights Bohai..."

Li Yi thought about the terrain and location, and couldn't figure out how Silla fought to Bohai?

"Go by sea." Song Jing told Li Yi.

"Yes, there are ships, and the shore there is frozen in winter, and you can still sail in the sea."

Li Yi suddenly realized, going around to fight, crazy?

Shouldn't Silla work hard to develop its economy and stabilize politics?

Now there is Jin Xingguang in power there. Jin Xingguang was originally called Jin Longji, the same name as Li Longji.

He was the emperor of Silla first, called Jin Longji.

After Li Longji became emperor, he quickly changed his name.

The country was weak and couldn't even use the name.

"How can the people of Andong Protectorate know?" Li Yi had a new question. It was too far to go to other places by sea.

"The people of Andong Protectorate have trade with Bohai. The local area belongs to the Tang Dynasty, and some goods are transported there.

If you agree to trade with others, they will save the things and take them to the Bohai King's City, and exchange them for other things and bring them back to Andong Protectorate.

Next year, when the weather is good, the exchanged things will be transported here again, and more things will be obtained.

The local governor and the people are together, with soldiers to protect them, and the people take out some extra things as protection fees."

Bi Gou introduced the situation. Andong Protectorate belongs to the Tang Dynasty.

It is simple for them to trade with this side. The people here use ships to send there, and the price is very close to the people.

The people save money and exchange with others this year.

Before, they went out to help Fan Fan and others go to the seaside, and a lot of things were left for them.

As long as Fan Fan and others get on the ship, it is a great achievement and the mission is completed.

The return journey is safe. No one dares to challenge the Tang Navy in Bohai Bay.

The wind on the sea is not strong, and the ship is safe.

The people from Andong Protectorate and other places went back, and there were more things, so they hurried to exchange them.

When they exchanged, they found out about the situation, took their things and ran back immediately.

They had planned to go back for the New Year, but they encountered heavy snow, which delayed their trip and they arrived at night.

Andong Protectorate did not dare to delay, and immediately sent a telegram to explain the situation.

Li Yi took a sip from the teacup: "Is Dae Jo-yeong sick? Da Wuyi is in charge? He went to Silla to capture slaves, right?"

He asked speculatively, if Silla was not forced into a corner, how could it go by sea?

"Dae Jo-yeong is not sick, but Da Wuyi has been involved in management. It was the nobles among them who took the boat to capture the Silla people."

Zhang Jiuling gave a thumbs up, it was great, he guessed part of it.

"Smart, don't capture tribes from other places, especially those sandwiched between the royal city and the Tang Dynasty.

Once they are captured, those tribes will run directly to the Tang Dynasty and will not let them be captured.

Fighting in winter is troublesome, and Silla is unlucky. Have the results of the battles on both sides come out?"

Li Yi wants to know how others fight, whether to provide weapons to both sides? Both sides are friendly with the Tang Dynasty.

Su Yan coughed: "More than 200 Silla people were captured. The Silla people didn't expect Bohai to run over.

It is said that Silla dispatched 20,000 people, but it is estimated that there were not so many. After the battle, more than 500 people from Bohai were killed.

Bohai didn't even think that Silla would retaliate. The Silla people ran away after the battle. I think they will arrange heavy troops on the coast."

Li Yi had a smile on his face. Good! Well fought.

"What if both sides write to the Tang Dynasty and ask for help from the Tang Dynasty?"

Song Jing thought about the future. Will the war end after one fight? Bohai suffered a lot of losses and couldn't swallow that breath.

Besides, they need more slaves, and they need more people to work in order to exchange things with the Tang Dynasty.

Silla must be even more angry. They didn't provoke you, but you didn't maintain our relationship, and you came to steal people.

Li Yi took out the remote control, pressed it, and a map appeared on the wall.

He came to the side of the map and pointed to a river with a small stick: "The north of the Pergola River is our place, right? But there are no soldiers there."

The Pergola River is the Taedong River, and the Yalu River is further north.

The Tang Dynasty fought with Silla for seven years, and later because of the problem of Tubo, they had to stop here.

According to historical records, the Tang Dynasty said that they won the war, and Silla said they won.

It doesn't matter who won. The key is that the original area belonged to Goguryeo, and the Tang Dynasty and Silla destroyed Goguryeo and Baekje.

Then the Tang Dynasty wanted to occupy the entire place, but Silla didn't agree, and supported the original Goguryeo people to establish a country.

When the Tang Dynasty's troops turned to Tubo, Silla disbanded that country.

The territory, the area north of the Taedong River belongs to the Tang Dynasty, and the area south belongs to Silla.

It was also from that time that the Andong Protectorate moved westward, and the Tang Dynasty did not want to waste troops there.

It was not until the past two years that the Andong Protectorate was relocated, and at the same time, other governorates were also in place.

Silla did not say anything, and continued to have normal political and economic exchanges with the Tang Dynasty.

"These places are all ours. This place used to be our Xiongjin Governorate."

Li Yi drew a circle with his stick, which was Cheongju City, Gwangju City, Jeonju City, and Mokpo City, all of which belonged to the Tang Dynasty.

The original Baekje area was taken away by Silla after the Tang Dynasty soldiers withdrew.

Everyone listened and understood. You want to take it back, how do you take it?

"I have an idea." Li Yi looked at everyone.

Li Longji and the ministers nodded and said quickly, I know you have many ideas and the Tang Dynasty is not too big.

Li Yi enlarged the location of Xishui: "Let's build a house here, not a castle, just a normal house with a warehouse.

The boat needs to be swung in the summer, but the river freezes in the winter and is frozen now.

We can do whatever we want in our own place, right?

We do business there, and if the nobles of Silla are willing to exchange things, let them exchange them, including grain, fish, and livestock..."

Li Yi talked about doing business and told everyone that he had few manpower in the local area and needed to recruit people to work.

People on the other side of the river can also work, right? We give money and don’t let others work in vain.

The place at the back is large and has dormitories built. It takes time for the working people to walk back and forth. Crossing the river is dangerous. What if I fall into the river in the summer or fall into an ice hole in the winter?

Living in a dormitory, their families have been apart for a long time. Can we see if they can come over to work together?

Add children, set up a school, and learn the knowledge of the Tang Dynasty together.

“Through trade, each gets what they need, and their expatriate workers can earn Datang’s currency.

With the currency, they don't need to barter. Even if they come to the Tang Dynasty area, it is convenient to purchase goods.

I would rather lose money on currencies with small denominations and print them out for them to help them use them internally.

Some of them even used Kaiyuan Tongbao, and most of them used cloth and various grains in exchange.

It’s the same as the silk we used before, oh, now we still use copper coins and silk in some places. "

Li Yi finally concluded, we can't hit others for good things that are beneficial to both parties. We are not that kind of person.
