Chapter 1148: No one is allowed to meddle
When Goguryeo retreated, the scouts would naturally keep an eye on them, and Li Daozong was thinking here, in addition to some normal operations, what else should be done to deter Goguryeo and stabilize the current situation at the same time?
How many of the things that His Royal Highness King Qin has taught are useless.
"Go and call Park Shin-jong." Li Daozong thought for a moment, and then beckoned a guard to come over.
"Yes!"
Li Daozong himself did not leave, but waited quietly on the city wall, and after about a quarter of an hour, Park Shinzong rushed to the city wall.
"Are there any minerals near this city?" Lee Dojong looked at Park Shinjong and asked.
"Huh?" Park Shinjong was stunned for a moment, the minerals near here? How do I know this, if I knew, it would have been reported.
"No minerals have been detected at this time." Park Shinjong hesitated.
Li Daozong nodded, he didn't continue to ask, His Highness said that in this era, it is very difficult to detect the surrounding minerals, and it is almost impossible to find many minerals, unless there is a better detection intensity.
At present, the means they can implement is actually just cash-for-work, as long as these people have work, there is no big problem with food, but there is no way to do this at the beginning.
Especially now that the enemy has appeared and some of the previous defense work has been completed, there is no need to do this, so for the time being, almost all of the more than 20,000 people are in charge of the officials of Silla.
Of course, the people of the city itself will also be affected, especially some people who mainly farm and live outside the city, it is okay to live in the city temporarily, but it is almost impossible for them to live in the city for a long time.
Because they don't have the skills to survive, and the inhabitants of the city itself, they also need grain merchants to transport grain from all over the place, and if there is no food supplement, these inhabitants of the city will not have food to sustain themselves.
"Well, what's going on in the city? Is it stable? Li Daozong asked knowingly.
War is always an unbearable burden for ordinary people, and no ordinary people hope to fight.
Therefore, before the war, the city was in chaos, but the countries of Silla and Baekje themselves are not big, and this is also a peninsula, so there is nowhere to run, so many people can only accept it and bear it in fear.
In addition, such as the price of salt and grain, the price of grain will rise, and the merchants of Silla have already begun to increase the price, and many people have to grit their teeth to buy some grain and stock up.
In addition, the price of cloth and other goods has fallen sharply, but no one buys it when it falls sharply, because the people's money is only a little bit used to buy grain.
In times of war, everyone knows the importance of food.
The city's grain supply had at least doubled compared to before, and this was without cutting off the grain trade with the rest of Silla.
However, from beginning to end, Li Daozong didn't say anything, the management should naturally be managed by someone, this is not the Tang Dynasty, they are here to fight, and they are not to help Silla manage the country.
It's cruel, but the bigger the scars left on these people, the better.
Leave them with enough scars now for a better life in the future.
"Stability, especially after the Tang army repelled the attack of the Goguryeo army, the city is now full of jubilation, and many people believe that the Tang Dynasty can defeat the enemy, so the environment in the city is naturally stable." Park Shinjong hurriedly spoke, and by the way, he also patted a sycophant.
"Stability is good, and now the city's defense is inseparable from stability." Li Daozong smiled and said, "That's it, we are good at combat, but we need you to stabilize the people's livelihood." ”
"General Li rest assured, we will definitely cooperate fully." Park Shinjong patted his chest and said.
"That's good." Li Daozong nodded, and didn't say much, after the Tang army's army entered the city, they directly occupied the original city's defender camp in the city, because these defenders originally had a playground for drills, etc., so there was naturally no problem to live in their army.
There is also a large open space and some vacant houses around the garrison barracks, which should have been abandoned by some people before, so the entire periphery of the area, the original Silla people have already encircled them.
And the Tang army has always lived inside, has a small world of its own, and does not deal with people outside, except for the people who hired a wave of Silla before, there is no communication.
Now, Li Daozong understands that he will soon enter the second stage.
Whether Goguryeo will attack in the short term, at least not the city, whether it will cross them to attack other cities, it depends on whether he has the guts, and it is highly likely that the other party will not either, that is to say, for a long time, it is estimated that the two sides will be in a confrontation situation.
"Niu Jinda." After the other party left, Li Daozong called Niu Jinda over.
"The end will be."
"The order is that it is strictly forbidden for the army to contact with the people of the outside world, and it is strictly forbidden to interfere in the conflict between the local people of Silla, and it is possible to communicate with the Silla army that assists us, but it needs to be approved and screened by the political commissar, otherwise communication is prohibited." Li Daozong pondered for a moment, and then issued a brand new order.
"Yes! General, do you think there will be a riot in the city? Niu Jinda hesitated and asked.
"It's not that I think, but certainly, the longer the confrontation between the two sides, the greater the possibility of riots, of course, because we are here, the Silla court will definitely not be short of grain and grass here, but it is estimated that grain and grass are also limited, especially when we can't show that we don't interfere in any internal affairs of Silla, these merchants and families of Silla will inevitably infringe on the interests of the people for their own interests after several temptations."
"When the time comes, the contradictions and conflicts between the two sides will inevitably break out." Li Daozong said lightly.
He was also trained by Li Ke anyway, and there are some things like class, and Li Daozong can see it more clearly now, although it can be regarded as a part of the class.
"Well, the Admiral understands, all we have to do is strike at the apex of the conflict, right? Take direct control of the city. Niu Jinda scratched his head.
"What are you doing in control of this city? This city has nothing to do with us, at least for now, so what we have to do is very simple, when that time comes, we need to rebuild something, in order to fight, it is naturally for our Tang army, and then we need to hire people. ”
"Understood?" Li Daozong glanced at Niu Jinda.
