Jin Riyong still wanted to argue, but Xue Rengui refused directly.
Kim Il-yong had no choice but to run back quickly to report to the Queen of Silla.
Xue Rengui paid no attention to his actions, but continued to loudly explain to the people around him that two soldiers had already moved two tables out and were preparing to register.
But the people of Silla who were still ready to move just now, after Kim Il-yong came, or after hearing Kim Il-yong's words, they all stood around silently, and no one came over.
For them, the army of the Tang Dynasty was just a flash in the pan, and the nobles of Silla were the masters of this land.
So of course they didn't dare to move.
Queen Kinderman of Seondeok, who had received the report from Kim Il-yong, looked at the scene in the distance with a complicated expression. From the moment the first boat docked until now, everything had been far beyond her expectations.
It also constantly refreshed her three views. Although she knew that Datang was powerful, she also knew various rumors about Datang being rich and benevolent, but she had never been to Datang in person.
And until today...she finally understood what Datang was.
After a long pause, Kinderman sighed and said: "Jin Aiqing, please make another trip, but you don't need to bother General Datang. Explain to the people at the docks that I have my order and let them fully cooperate with Datang." army."
"Yes!" Jin Riyong naturally knew that the people in the distance would not dare to move without the orders of the queen and nobles like them.
He was somewhat complacent. So what if the Tang army was stronger? This is in Silla. Without us, you see, Datang would not even be able to hire a single coolie.
Of course he would not say what he was thinking in his heart, because he knew that Datang could not afford to offend him, so he walked up to the people honestly and announced Kinderman's order.
When he finished speaking, the people of Silla waiting here instantly burst into cheers, and among the cheers, some clever people shouted loudly to thank the queen.
But these common people know what the specific situation is, but they are not stupid enough to shout it out. The little people are naturally smarter than the little people.
Jin Riyong curled his lips and left with disdain. He glanced at Xue Rengui, who was standing not far away with an expressionless face. His expression was somewhat disdainful. These soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were really stupid.
They don't do anything to save them money. These things are from the Tang Dynasty. If they, the soldiers, save them and sell them, doesn't the money belong to them?
Why give it to these untouchables? When they can save it, he won't mind buying the grain at a high price together with some families.
The price of grain in Silla is much higher than that in Tang Dynasty, not to mention that the quality of rice here is very good! Rather than grains such as corn.
Hey, what a bunch of idiots. They can't even make money. They deserve to be a big-headed soldier for the rest of their lives. So what about the people of Tang Dynasty? Isn’t it possible to make a lot of money? too stupid.
Jin Riyong returned to Kinderman, and he did not dare to leave. After all, it was not only the queen's problem, but also the Tang Dynasty's problem.
After Jin Il-yong made the announcement, the surrounding Silla people swarmed over in an instant, and they kept shouting about how strong I am.
Xue Rengui and several soldiers from the Tang Dynasty shouted loudly before they were able to calm down the scene and made these people line up obediently.
They don't care about people lining up outside the cordon, even if they stab someone with a knife, it has nothing to do with them, but within the cordon, they must line up honestly.
These people quickly lined up.
The soldier in charge of registration also started the operation skillfully without registering his name. After they came in, he directly wrote a serial number on the wooden sign that had been prepared and told him that this wooden sign with a hemp rope was where he received his salary. logo.
You can get it after today's work, and you can't lose it. It can be worn around your neck or on your body.
These Silla people quickly put things on their necks.
Soon, the number of people signing up on the pier exceeded 500.
After exceeding this number, Xue Rengui did not recruit more for the time being, because it was enough for the time being.
Moreover, this wharf is not a big wharf. Most of them are fishermen. Although there are some cargo ships coming and going, these cargo ships don't have much cargo, so there are not many people working and moving things.
Most of these cargo ships are going to and from Datang. Now among the five hundred people, not only the people who work hard on the dock have been recruited, but also many fishermen who are interested.
Isn't it just moving things? They all know how to do it, how simple it is.
For the time being, five hundred people are enough to ferment some news. Five hundred people means at least three to four hundred families, and how big is this dock? There are only about a thousand households living near this pier.
After all, the distance between here and Jincheng is thirty or forty miles. Jincheng is also Gyeongju, South Korea in later generations. Although Gyeongju was a seaside city in later generations, the current city is not that big, so it is naturally some distance from the coastline.
When the workers were almost recruited, the second Tang Dynasty ship also docked.
This time, apart from the 1,000 soldiers who came down, the only thing left was the supplies stored in various boxes and bags.
These supplies were quickly stacked in various tents that had been set up in advance.
For the people of Silla who were working, although the work was a bit tiring, they did not dare to be careless and worked very carefully. The main reason was that they could not even afford to offend Silla officials.
What's more, after offending these Tang soldiers, those Silla officials wanted to be their grandsons.
They all have a strong balance in their hearts, and they all know and carefully safeguard their own interests.
Until an accident happened, a fisherman probably didn't carry things often. When he was carrying a bag of grain, he probably didn't exert enough force while walking and fell directly to the ground.
Then the rope of the grain bag on his shoulder broke and the rice was scattered on the ground.
When this scene appeared, the dock that was originally in full swing seemed to have pressed the pause button, and everyone subconsciously stopped their actions.
The first few nearby Datang soldiers to react, as well as Xue Rengui in the distance, saw this scene and Xue Rengui smiled inwardly. Sure enough, there are benefits to expanding recruitment.
People who are not familiar with handling will always make mistakes. If mistakes happen, this is an opportunity.
Xue Rengui immediately raised his legs and walked in that direction.
Who is Xue Rengui? All the people of Silla had seen it before.
When they saw Xue Rengui moving, the Silla coolies who were working were frightened, and the fisherman who fell was even more frightened.
Before those soldiers came over, his body was shaking like chaff. Because they had seen it more than once. A man who was carrying goods for some Silla nobles was beaten to death after accidentally breaking the goods.
