Chapter 2539: What I Lost and Now Want to Regain

"Brother Yi, you have worked hard." At lunchtime, Li Longji called Li Yi over and ate with the people at the grand court.

He deliberately changed into casual clothes and grilled meat for Li Yi himself.

He knew how many people Li Yi had saved in recent days and how many families he had saved.

No matter what problems the babies encountered, they all survived, including the mothers.

Did fewer people die of dystocia in the palace? More died a few days after the birth of the child.

What kind of nutrition is in the palace? What do ordinary people eat?

"The key is good medicine. We Tang people can get good medicine and have no drug resistance."

Li Yi was modest and did not say how accurate his judgment and treatment were during the rescue. That was what he should do.

"More than 200,000 people from Silla have fled to Tang. I don't know how many people there are in Silla."

Li Longji talked about another thing. Tang re-established the border of Andong Protectorate, and the Yalu River, also known as the Yalu River, still belonged to Tang.

The Taedong River in Li Yi's time, and the current Persian River, still belonged to Tang.

There was a time when it was only in name only, but now it has come to reality. The Khitan dared not say anything. The Tang army was stationed there and administrative personnel were also sent.

The people of Silla ran here frantically. In order to run faster, they did not bring any tools, only enough food for the road.

The Yulin flew on horseback to bribe the Silla soldiers, and the Silla soldiers helped to bring the population here.

After that, the price was negotiated. As long as you bring one person, regardless of gender, age or young, you will be given five bars of soap, twenty boxes of matches, fifty easy-to-store black bread and three roast chickens.

This was gradually increased, and then an additional military coat was added.

When the Silla soldiers saw the price, they tried to get it even if it was far away.

In winter, Silla lacked food, skin care products, and warm clothes. Anyway, it lacked everything.

Those things given, in the Tang Dynasty, multiplied by ten times, could not exchange for one person.

Of course, people were not sold. The Silla soldiers found the people and asked them if they wanted to go to the Tang Dynasty. If they wanted to go, they would escort them all the way.

The people of Silla became the people of the Tang Dynasty, enjoying freedom, not slaves, working normally and making money.

The Tang Dynasty made money, and it was too cheap to spend a little to get an immigrant.

"I don't know." Li Yi shook his head when he was happy, and he had never conducted a census for Silla.

The data recorded in history were too false, and the Tang Dynasty had no ability to count how many people there were, so it was unrealistic to expect Silla.

"But the outflow of 203,110 people was a serious blow to them."

Li Yi judged from the people who came over and told them about their original location that a large area of ​​Silla had become an uninhabited area.

The capital of Silla was Jincheng, which was Gyeongju in Li Yi's time. It was far away from the Tang Dynasty. After passing the Korean seafood, it was Japan.

The control of the northern area was not good enough, and every time I went to the Tang Dynasty, I took a boat to go by sea.

It snowed in the winter, the people in the north left, the soldiers were bribed, and their king Jin Xingguang, who was originally called Jin Longji, didn't know how many people ran away.

"Will the war start?" Li Longji thought that he had bullied others. Silla said that it had defeated the Tang Dynasty before. Does it have the confidence to fight again?

"We didn't go there, why would they attack us? Besides, their capital is so close to the sea."

Li Yi looked aggrieved at first, but then smiled.

Jincheng is 50 to 60 kilometers away from the sea. If the Tang Navy ships and airships go there, where will the entire Silla upper class run? Hanzhou?

Hanzhou is far away from Gyeongju, with a straight-line distance of more than 250 kilometers.

The key is that Hanzhou is the later Seoul. There is an estuary in the Han River, so it is easier for the navy and airships to attack it.

Li Yi made up his mind that he must occupy the peninsula and the northeast region to eliminate his worries.

By the way, he also built an 18-kilometer-long artificial canal to the sea over there, and the fleet directly crossed the peninsula to reach Vladivostok.

The Tang Dynasty originally occupied Xiongjin City, and an area on the west side of the peninsula belonged to the Tang Dynasty.

In the end, because of Tubo, the Tang Dynasty was unable to fight on multiple fronts, so it had to abandon it and was occupied by Silla.

If you can occupy it, why can't you take it from me? The bigger the fist, the more powerful the truth.

A map appeared on the screen of the restaurant, with Xiongjin City marked as Xiongjin Governor's Office.

The Governor's Office is a city-level unit, and the Protectorate is a provincial unit. The Governor's Office obeys the Protectorate.

Li Longji narrowed his eyes as he looked at the map. The territory of the Tang Dynasty was once uncontrollable, but now...

"What if there is a flood next year? I will still beat you if I want to." Li Longji squeezed out this sentence from his teeth.

If Li Yi hadn't reminded him, the court and the public would be shocked when the disaster happened next year, thinking that God was going to punish someone, such as Li Longji.

Because the original residence of Princess Taiping sank with the same block, Li Longji's prestige was hit, and he had to compromise on some things.

It has been said in advance that all places that may cause trouble next year will be evacuated and demolished. What can God do to me?

"Send the navy to transport people back. Qingzhou, Laizhou, Mizhou, and Dengzhou in Henan Province can't accommodate those people?"

Li Longji thought of a way. You are not having a good winter, and our ships will go to pick you up.

The Xiongjin Governor's Office was occupied by you, Silla. It doesn't mean we have abolished it. I just acknowledged the fact that you occupied it.

Excuses don't matter. Just fight.

After the fight, mark out a large piece of land and send the people of the Tang Dynasty there. It's considered colonization.

We dare not colonize far away places for fear of losing control. Silla is so far away. The airship takes off from Dengzhou and arrives in a short time.

The ministers looked at the map and felt it was very dazzling, Xiongjin Governor's Mansion.

"Fight!" Emperor Li Dan said. He knew what happened that year. He was fifteen years old at that time.

"Fight!" Other ministers echoed at the same time. It was not that Li Dan's words were effective, that was the end. Who was the emperor had to be clearly distinguished.

"Let's say that Silla treated the people of Xiongjin Governor's Mansion of the Tang Dynasty badly. They didn't give them a kang in winter, there was insufficient food, and there were few things to start a fire. Few children read books."

Li Yi suggested that if they wanted to fight, they had to find an excuse, and now there is one.

"Brother Yi, just raise troops?" Li Chengqi felt that it was a problem to go out and fight who. Fight the officials in Xiongjin Governor's Mansion?

Catch them, kill their soldiers, or let their soldiers surrender?

It was easy. The yacht was dispatched, and the drone flew over for reconnaissance at night. After understanding the situation, the airship group was guided to the designated location for airdrop.

"In the past, we gave gifts. Over the years, the people have changed for at least two generations. In fifty-four years, the baby has become a grandfather!

When giving gifts, they said they were giving gifts to the people of the Tang Dynasty. They gave good things, such as hand cream, matches, quilts, roast duck, smoked chicken, a lot of preserved fruits, rice, flour, iron pots, kitchen knives, etc.

All the people of the Tang Dynasty have them. Those who do not admit that they are the people of the Tang Dynasty do not have them. Those who are willing to admit that they are the people of the Tang Dynasty will be naturalized directly.

Those who do not admit that they have them will definitely rob them. Once they rob them, we will go to war in the name of protecting the people of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Yi continued to give advice. It was very simple to make others chaotic internally.

Many ministers sighed secretly. Sure enough! Xiao Yi was insidious when dealing with the outside world! He was only gentle to the people of the Tang Dynasty, like a good old man.

They felt that there were other ways, and they continued to discuss, and they could not just listen to Li Yi.
