ww.x.om    Although Lee was very angry with this small country in the future, Silla and Baekje will be his own pocket in this life, and the population resources are also an important reason why he likes here. If Silla dies too many people due to a famine, then this place is not worth the money. However, there is no free lunch in this world. If Silla people want to eat, they have to pay the corresponding price. Moreover, if this famine is used well, their plan to control Silla will be smoother.

Thinking of this, Li Yan smiled at Jin Shengman and said, "Don't worry, as long as Silla is successfully handed over to my hands, then the Silla people are my king's people now, and I will never watch them starve to death!"

Jin Shengman finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Li Yan's promise, but just as she was about to say something thankful, Li Yan continued to say: "But I have always believed that only by working can you get something, so no matter who you want to get the food you live from me, you have to put in some labor!"

"What do you want?" Jin Shengman asked uneasyly. Although what Li Yan said seemed to make sense, she knew that her nominal husband was not a good person. He was not only the most favored prince of the Tang Dynasty, but also the largest slave trader in the Tang Dynasty. At the beginning, many people in Silla were captured and sold as slaves by Li Yan's slave arresting team. So what Jin Shengman was most worried about was that after Li Yan controlled Silla, he allowed his slave arresting team to capture slaves in Silla. If that happens, for them, Silla, it would undoubtedly be a destruction of the country.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything with Silla. It's just that I have some huge projects to do, so I need some manpower, so I will ask someone to recruit workers in Silla. Although the wages are not much, my body is definitely free and I will definitely not let them be slaves." Li Yan said with a smile, and he also saw Kim Seung-man's concerns.

Lee Yen is obviously not as vicious as Kim Seung-man thinks. It’s not that he doesn’t want to demote Kim Du to a slave. The key is that if he does this, it will probably cause the Silla people to resist to the death. In this way, the purpose of his previous marriage with Kim Seung-Man will be abolished. After all, if Silla is in chaos, it will not only cost him a lot of effort to calm the chaos, but also hold him forward. He will never do such a thing that is not worth the loss.

"It's really just work?" Jin Shengman was still a little worried. If he really exchanged labor for food, he would be fine, but he was afraid that if the person was recruited, he was demoted to a slave by Li Yan. By then she would be powerless.

"Believe it or not!" Li Yan said angrily. He is a person with integrity, which is well known in the business community of the Tang Dynasty. He did not expect that he would be suspected by Jin Shengman today.

Seeing Lee Seung-man getting angry, Kim Seung-man didn't dare to ask again, and had to force himself to believe his words.

Two days later, the road finally opened, and Li Yan and the others set off on the road again, but in Kinmen City, Li Yan left three thousand soldiers to guard it. After all, this is the gateway to Jincheng, and the geographical location is very important, so Li Yan needs to control this city in his own hands.

Jincheng is not far from Jinmen City. Li Yan and the others only took two days to arrive at Jincheng. Moreover, this is because the snow on the road has not been cleaned up, which affects the speed of travel. If the road conditions are good, it is estimated that it can be reached in at most one day and a half.

Jincheng was already in sight. Li Yan looked forward from the carriage and found that Jincheng was indeed the capital of Silla, and the city walls were built very strong and tall. Although they could not be compared with cities like Chang'an and Luoyang, they could also be compared with big cities like Tang Dynasty. With a small country like Silla, it was very difficult to build such a city.

At this time, Kim Seung-man also introduced: "Kincheng is the origin of our Silla. After the improvement of the previous kings of all generations, it has now become the largest city in Silla. It is only smaller than Pyongyang City. It can be said to be the second largest city on the peninsula!"

When Jin Shengman said this, his face also showed a look of pride, and he was obviously proud of his country's capital. However, at this time, Li Yan said without hesitation: "This is a big city? You have never seen us Dengzhou, that's a big city, is it good? And if it is compared with our Tang Dynasty Chang'an, your Jincheng is like a thatched hut."

When she heard Li Yan's words, Jin Shengman immediately looked depressed. When she was young, she always thought that Jincheng was the largest city in the world. However, after she went to Pyongyang with her cousin last time, she found that Pyongyang was much larger than Jincheng. Later, she went to Dengzhou and found that the city was several times more prosperous and lively than Pyongyang. As for Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, it was said to be a city larger than Dengzhou. This made her unable to imagine what kind of city it was?

"Hehe, it seems that the Jin Mahjong hasn't been to Chang'an yet. When you have the chance in the future, you can go to Chang'an with Your Highness. Then I will take the mahjong to go around and taste the food in Chang'an and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Chang'an. You will definitely be shocked!" Wen'er also said at this time. Jin Shengman was in poor health these two days, and Wen'er was taking care of her, so the two of them were very familiar with each other.

"Oh, that's great. I have always heard that Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty is the number one city in the world, but I have never had the chance to go there. If I could visit it in person, it would be a great joy in life, and Wen'er will be busy at that time!" Jin Shengman also said with a smile when she heard it. She knew that Wen'er was highly valued by Li Yan, and that the other party could help her in some things, so she deliberately made friends with Wen'er, which made the relationship between the two very good.

Seeing that the two women actually brought the topic to Chang'an, Li Yan hurriedly interrupted them and asked Jin Shengman solemnly: "How many people are there in Jincheng now? If I want to control Jincheng, who will jump out?"

When Wen'er heard Li Yan ask about this, he retreated to serve tea with great knowledge, while Jin Shengman thought about it for a while before saying: "Although Jincheng is the capital of our country, it is in the rear, and it is unlikely that Baekje will attack. In addition, the war on the front line is urgent, so most of the guards of Jincheng were transferred away. Now there are only six thousand old and weak people stationed in the city. Among them, half of these old and weak people are controlled by me, and the other half is controlled by Jin Gengxin."

"Jin Gengxin!" Li Yan frowned when he heard this name. According to Jin Shengman, among the main messengers behind the assassination of her in Kinmen City, it is likely that one of them was Jin Gengxin. This is mainly because the other party was very close to Jin Chunqiu. Among all the royal families, Jin Chunqiu was the person who posed the greatest threat to Jin Shengman's throne, so the other party had enough reason to assassinate her and clear the obstacles to ascending the throne for Jin Chunqiu.

"If he dares to make any changes, I don't mind killing the chicken to scare the monkey!" Li Yan said with some disdain. Although he knew that Jin Gengxin was indeed a talented man who led the army, no matter how high his talent was, in the face of absolute power, no matter how useful any conspiracy is, no matter how powerful he is, no matter how useful it is, no conspiracy or trick is useless.

However, Jin Shengman was not as confident as Li Yan. Instead, he showed a serious look on his face and said, "Your Highness must not underestimate Jin Gengxin. In addition to the three thousand soldiers in Jincheng, he also has an elite force in his hand, otherwise I would not be so afraid of him."

Although Kim Seung-man's impression of Lee Seung-man has not improved, the two are in an alliance after all, so she needs to explain some of the domestic situation clearly, otherwise if Lee Seung suffers, it will not be a good thing for her.

"Oh? No wonder this is how strong the power in his hand is?" Li Yan asked with some interest. Although he had absolute confidence, as the saying goes, knowing himself and his enemy, don't underestimate your opponent at any time.

Jin Shengman said with a serious expression: "Jin Gengxin is a national immortal in our country, who controls all the power of Hana Doro. After his integration, this power has amazing combat power. When we were attacked by Baekje, it was with this power that Jin Gengxin saved the defeat in one fell swoop and overthrew Baekje back!"

Li Yan slapped his head when he heard this. If it weren't for Jin Shengman's reminder, he would have almost fooled the information. In the information Wu Meiniang gave him, the information about Jin Gengxin had mentioned this specifically.

The so-called Hana Doro is actually a civil organization in Silla. It is the predecessor of ancient Korean martial arts and taekwondo. Many Silla soldiers and young people in the civilian world are members of this organization. Their leader is called Guoxian. Jin Gengxin is not only a talent for leading troops and fighting, but also has excellent personal martial arts. He became the leader of Hana Doro in his early years. After he became the number one person in the Silla military, he selected elite soldiers from Hana Doro and then integrated them to become a trump card in his hands.

"Hanoru, this is a problem. I heard that there are 5,000 people. Not only are they strong personal qualities, but they also have good overall combat effectiveness. If they fight hard, I may suffer some losses!" Li Yan said to himself in a heavy tone.

He was not afraid of Huadaolang, but was worried that if the other party fought to the death, it would cause some casualties and injuries to his soldiers, which would have to be compensated. Moreover, among the 15,000 people he brought from Dengzhou, all of them were integrated by slave hunting teams. They did have combat effectiveness, but compared with the regular troops of the Tang Dynasty, there was still some gap. In addition, these were all seeds in his hands, Li Yan did not want to suffer too much loss when he attacked for the first time.

However, Kim Seung-man sighed and corrected: "Your Highness is wrong, not five thousand, but three thousand. In the last battle with Baekje, Hanadoro also suffered huge losses, and two thousand people fell on the battlefield."

Speaking of this, Jin Shengman sighed in her heart. She was very grateful to Hana Doro because the other party was a hero who defended the country, but now she had to be an enemy of them, because with Silla's existing strength, she could not stop Li Yan's attack at all.

When Li Yan heard that there were only three thousand Hana Door left, he looked up and laughed, ignoring Jin Shengman's angry gaze. Can he still block his 20,000 army of Hana Door?

Unfortunately, just when Li Yanzhi was proudly trying to enter Jincheng with his army, he didn't expect to encounter another big and small trouble.
