Chapter 844: Current Situation of Silla (1) (2nd Update)

"Uncle Ho, the front is the port from Silla. Uncle He Guo is sure that there is no need for the last general to send sailors and soldiers to follow Uncle He Guo? Silla is a bit of a mess these days. ”

On a No. 2 Ning ship, Wang Shimiao said politely to He Dong.

That's right, it's He Dong.

As for his appearance in Silla, it was because of the need to expand trade, because of the three forces of Silla at this time, he supported the Silla royal family.

As for Li Rang's support for Gong descendants, Zhang Xiong supports Zhen Xuan.

Each of the three imperial merchants supported one, which was naturally Li Ye's benefit, and he wanted to make Silla more chaotic, so that Datang could get greater returns.

Although Li Ye rejected the Silla mission's request for help, he asked the Myeongju Navy Division to send troops to Tamna, which was later known as Jeju Island, and established a military port here with a naval division stationed.

At the same time, it also became a transit point for Tang Dynasty's merchant ships to and from Silla and the Wa Kingdom.

"It doesn't matter, He brought two hundred guards. Among He's guards, most of them are soldiers who have retired from the forbidden army, even if they are not as strong as the forbidden army, the ordinary Silla thieves can't help He.

Moreover, this place is close to the Silla Royal City, so no one will dare to attack and kill He. He Dong didn't care.

It was not that he was entrusted with the big one, but that he came to Silla only at the invitation of King Kim Yao of Silla, and as for the reason, it was naturally to discuss the expansion of trade.

He Dong knows that doing business with a royal family is very profitable.

It may be that the treasury of Silla is poor, but the Silla royal family is definitely rich.

I didn't see how rich the Tang royal family is now, and Ziwei Palace, Taiji Palace and Xingqing Palace in the eastern capital of Xiudong have all paid for it themselves.

Especially Ziwei Palace, what a big project it is, and the money needed is at least a few million.

Although He Dong earns a small amount, he also has an industry of his own, which can be described as a rich family, which is estimated to be more than the wealth of the royal family and the treasury of Silla combined.

"Since Uncle He Guo is insisting, then I won't persuade much. Before Uncle Ho left Silla, he would have the sailors stationed in the port of Silla. ”

Don't look at He Dong's official position, but even if he is a second- or third-grade official, few people dare to offend him, who makes him not only an imperial businessman, but also the queen's cousin, and he can often see the holy driver.

If you don't have a good relationship, you will be offended if you are stupid.

He Dong was a little surprised and nodded, "Then there will be the governor of King Lao." ”

Arriving at the dock and seeing the dock that was still busy, He Dong reluctantly smiled.

But before He Dong got off the boat, he saw that the dock was very lively, in addition to those busy boatmen, there was also a group of soldiers waiting neatly on the dock, as if waiting for someone.

"Uncle Guo, Silla has sent someone to greet Uncle Guo."

He Dong looked at it fixedly, and saw two familiar people, Cui Zhiyuan and Park Jinghui, the son-in-law of the current King of Silla, Kim Yao.

"Silla Ministry of Rites Order (Ministry of Rites Order is equivalent to the Ministry of Household Books of the Tang Dynasty) Cui Zhiyuan has seen Uncle He Guo of the Tang Dynasty!"

"Silla Horse Park Jinghui has seen Uncle He Guo of the Tang Dynasty!"

"It turned out to be Cui Zhengzhi and Park Yuma, no, now it should be called Cui Shangshu, right? He hasn't congratulated Cui Shangshu on his ascension. He Dong said with a smile.

"Uncle He Guo praised it falsely!" Cui Zhiyuan said politely.

"He didn't expect it to be the two of them who came to greet him in person, but he was a little surprised."

"Uncle Ho has a noble status and is a distinguished guest of Silla. My king is already waiting in the royal city, just waiting for Uncle He Guo's arrival, and a carriage has been prepared for Uncle He Guo. Cui Zhiyuan said politely.

"Wait a moment, He's guards haven't all disembarked yet."

After a while, everyone understood He Dong's guards, and it turned out that there were still many horses disembarking on one of the larger cargo ships.

Seeing the more than 100 tall horses, you can envy the surrounding Silla people.

Silla also had horses, but the quality was not good, and there were not many good horses, and they were all in the hands of a very small number of people.

How could these ordinary people have such a good horse, they can't afford to raise it.

The port was some distance from the royal city of Silla, and at their speed, it would not be possible to reach it in the evening.

Along the way, He Dong saw that the Silla people were yellow-skinned and ragged, and even when they arrived in Gyeongju, that is, the royal city of the Silla people, they were not much better.

The whole Gyeongju is not as large as the state city of Datang, the road is lined with low and dilapidated houses on both sides, the stench of human and animal excrement wafts in the air, and the road is even more rugged, which makes He Dong, who is sitting in the carriage, very uncomfortable.

It was only slightly better when it arrived at the Silla royal city, but this Silla royal city was not as good as the mansions of ordinary princes in Chang'an.

It's stingy!

As for the dinner, it is naturally not as good as the level of the dinner in Daming Palace, but as a dinner in a royal city, it is okay, with the standard used to entertain guests in the homes of ordinary magnates in Chang'an.

Perhaps perceiving the disappointment in He Dong's eyes, King Kim Yao of Silla said with some shame, "Silla is poor, and now it is in war again, I am afraid that some hospitality is not good, and I hope that Uncle He Haihan." ”

He Dong smiled, "The monarch is polite. It was already He Mou's honor to be entertained by the monarch in the royal city, how could he be dissatisfied because of these red tape. ”

He Dong's words can be regarded as giving enough face to the king of Silla, and even the courtiers below are very comfortable when they hear it.

"In the past year, with the help of Uncle Lao Heguo, I Silla was able to stabilize the situation. I was still thinking about how to thank him, but I didn't expect Uncle He Guo to come to Silla in person, which made Silla shine. Because he is asking for others, Jin Yao's attitude is also very low.

"The monarch is serious. The monarch is the orthodoxy of Silla, and He also hates those traitors.

In the consideration of righteousness, He was naturally willing to deepen his cooperation with the Silla royal family. He Dong smiled.

"Does Uncle He Guo's words mean on behalf of the court of the Tang Dynasty? Then why are there still people in the Tang Dynasty who provide grain, grass, and weapons to traitors such as Silla's traitors Gong Xia, Zhen Xuan, and Liang Ji? "When the king of Silla spoke, he had a grumble in his heart.

He Dong raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, "There is still such a thing?" He didn't know. However, there are so many businessmen in my Datang, it is not impossible for someone to do business with those traitors, and He Mou does not dare to guarantee this.

Another point is that He is just a businessman and cannot represent the imperial court. Moreover, the thoughts of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty are not something that can be guessed by a certain businessman. ”

Zhang Xiong and Li Rang's dealings with Silla traitors were determined by the saints, but the three families would have a certain degree of proportionality and would not do things that went too far.

The most important thing is the export of weapons, the number of bows, arrows, knives and guns exported must be controlled, and they are all stocks in the warehouse; The same is true for war horses, most of them are inferior war horses or old horses that have retired from the army, and the number is also limited.

In this way, the strength of the three parties can be enhanced, and it will not be strong and uncontrolled.

However, the three companies obtained from Silla mainly in the form of ores (iron ore and silver ore), people, and textiles.

That's right, people.

Today, Silla is in constant turmoil, and people are displaced, some of whom are homeless.

The royal family of Silla could not do such a thing, but the rebels dared to capture a large number of people by capturing a city.

In order to get weapons, the rebels naturally dared to sell these captured populations.

Of course, these are slaves.

Adult men can be bought as slaves to open mines or plough fields. Women are more likely to be sold to Qinglou, and may also be sold to men who do not have wives.

However, He Dong had no interest in the slave trade, which was too cheap.
