When Goguryeo retreats, the scouts will naturally focus on them, and Li Daozong is thinking here. In addition to some normal operations, what else should be done to scare Goguryeo and stabilize the current situation at the same time?
There are still many things that His Highness King Qin has taught that have not been used.
"Go and call Pu Xinzong over." Li Daozong thought for a moment, then called a guard over.
"yes!"
Li Daozong himself did not leave, but waited quietly on the city wall. About a quarter of an hour later, Pu Xinzong arrived on the city wall.
"Are there any minerals near this city?" Li Daozong looked at Park Xinzong and asked.
"Ah?" Everyone in Pu Xinzong was stunned for a moment. Are there any minerals near here? How do I know this? If I knew, I would definitely report it to the police.
"No minerals have been detected so far." Park Xinzong hesitated and said.
Li Daozong nodded, and did not continue to ask. His Highness said that in this era, it is very difficult to detect the surrounding minerals. It is almost impossible to discover many minerals unless there is better detection strength.
At present, the only means they can implement is to provide work-for-relief. As long as these people have work and food to eat, it will not be a big problem. However, the Tang Dynasty had no way to do this at the beginning.
Especially now that the enemy has appeared and part of the early defense work has been completed, it is no longer necessary to do so. Therefore, for the time being, almost all the more than 20,000 common people are handed over to Silla officials. Responsible.
Of course, the people of the city itself will also be affected, especially those 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 do not have the skills to survive, and the residents of the city itself also need grain merchants to transport food from various places. If there is no food supplement, these residents in the city will not be able to sustain themselves with food at all.
"Well, how is the situation in the city? Is it stable?" Li Daozong asked knowingly.
War is always an unbearable burden for ordinary people, and no one wants to fight.
So before the war came, the city was in chaos. But countries like Silla and Baekje were not big, and this was a peninsula. There was no place to run, so many people could only accept it and endure it with fear.
In addition, the price of salt and grain will rise. Businessmen in Silla have already begun to increase prices, and many people have to bite the bullet and buy some grain to hoard.
In addition, the price of cloth and other items has dropped sharply, but no one is buying it because the people have so little money and they all use it to buy grain.
During the war, everyone knows the importance of food.
The food in this city has at least doubled than before, and this is without cutting off the food trade with other places in Silla.
But from the beginning to the end, Li Daozong said nothing. Of course, people should manage what should be managed. This is not the Tang Dynasty. They are here to fight, not to help Silla manage the country.
Although it is cruel, the bigger the scars it leaves on these people, the better.
Leaving them enough scars now is to give them 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 joy. Many people believe that the Tang Dynasty can defeat the enemy, so the environment in the city has naturally stabilized." Park Xinzong hurriedly spoke and flattered him at the same time.
"Stability is good. Now the city's defense cannot do without stability." Li Daozong said with a smile, "That's it. We are good at combat, but we need you to stabilize people's livelihood."
"Don't worry, General Li, we will fully cooperate." Park Xinzong patted his chest and said.
"That's good." Li Daozong nodded and said nothing more. After the Tang Dynasty's army entered the city, they directly occupied the original garrison barracks of the city inside the city, because these garrison troops originally had playgrounds for training, etc. , so there is no problem in housing their army.
There is a large open space and some vacant houses around the garrison camp. These should have been abandoned by some people before, so the original Silla people have surrounded them all on the periphery of the entire area.
The Tang army has been living in it, having its own little world, and not interacting with outsiders. Except for a wave of Silla people who were hired 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 attack the city. Whether Goguryeo will cross them and attack other cities depends on whether he has the courage. There is a high probability that the other party will not, which means that for a long time , it is estimated that both sides will be in a confrontation situation.
"Niu Jinda." After the other party left, Li Daozong called Niu Jinda over.
"The end will be here."
"Pass the order, it is strictly prohibited for the army to have contact with outsiders, and it is strictly prohibited to intervene in the conflicts between Silla locals. You can communicate with the Silla army who assists us, but it needs to be approved and screened by the political commissar, otherwise the exchange is prohibited." Li Daozong thought for a moment, and then issued the order A completely new directive.
"Yes! General, do you think there will be riots in the city?" Niu Jinda hesitated and asked.
"I don't think so, but definitely. The longer the confrontation between the two sides, the greater the possibility of riots. Of course, because we are here, the Silla court will not be short of food and grass here, but it is estimated that the food and grass are also limited, especially When we fail to show that we will not interfere in any internal affairs of Silla, these businessmen and aristocratic families in Silla will inevitably infringe on the interests of the people for their own interests after several trials."
"When the time comes, conflicts and conflicts between the two parties will inevitably break out." Li Daozong said calmly.
After all, he was trained by Li Ke, and he had some things like class. Li Daozong could see it more clearly now, although he was still considered a part of the class.
"Okay, I understand. What we have to do is to take action at the peak of the conflict, right? Directly control the city." Niu Jinda scratched his head.
"Why control this city? This city has nothing to do with us, at least not yet, so what we have to do is very simple. When that time comes, we will need to rebuild something. In order to fight, of course it is For our Tang army, we will need to hire people only then."
"Understand?" Li Daozong glanced at Niu Jinda.
