Yang Kongcian glanced at Luo Shixin and Li Xuanba, and said to Wang Junlin with a smile: "The lord of Silla must have wanted to make up for his previous stinginess after listening to the report from the prince and the stingy prime minister. ”

"Oh! The king of Silla is a man of understanding, and what about the four girls he sent? I just heard that you seem to have made the decision to stay. Wang Junlin didn't mean the slightest blame when he said this, he had appointed Yang Kongcian as their head of internal affairs and logistics after Yang Kongchan had formed a very large caravan three months ago, and the matter of receiving gifts was also within the scope of her duties.

Yang Kongcian glanced at Wang Junlin charmingly, and said: "I have asked about the humble position, these four girls are not the daughters of ordinary commoners in Silla, they are the palace maids selected from the palace of the Silla king, and they were originally born in the nobility of the Silla Kingdom, and they have also read Chinese books since they were children, and they have learned Chinese characters, and they have learned the ability to serve people, so adults don't have to worry that they can't understand what they say, as long as they enjoy their service." They're all waiting outside, do you want to bring them in and show them to the adults? ”

The Korean Peninsula of Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje were deeply influenced by Chinese culture, and the officials and nobles of the three countries all regarded the study of Han books as fashionable, and it was not surprising that four women who could speak Chinese and understand Han culture could be selected in the Silla King's Palace.

It was only when he defeated the Goguryeo sailors and firmly controlled the two islands that the monarchs and ministers of Silla thought about sending him women, but it was already too late, but the countries were originally the law of the jungle, and from the perspective of the Silla Kingdom, it was normal not to give him gifts and not pay attention to him when he was not sure whether Wang Junlin could gain a foothold on Dami Island and Baekryeong Island.

Looking at the smile on the corner of Yang Kongciao's mouth, Wang Junlin waved his hand and said, "Don't look at it, you can watch it!" I really can't do it, why don't I send it back! ”

Next to him, Luo Shixin and Li Xuanba were already in the period of youth and ignorance, and when they heard that they were the palace maids of the Silla Kingdom, they wanted to see it, but when they saw that Wang Junlin refused, they couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and they wanted to go out of the hall to have a look, but they were embarrassed.

"My lord, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to send it back like this, the lord of Silla intends to make friends, and sending it back may make them think cranky, but it will affect the cooperation in the future. Let's talk about these four again

Girls are not good: for the king of Silla, after all, he is the lord of a country, and the things that are sent out are let you go back, and the ending of the four girls is probably a bit miserable...... "Yang Kongcian glanced at Luo Shixin and Li Xuanba with a smile and said with a smile.

Hearing Yang Kongcian say this, Wang Junlin thought that this matter was not just a matter of the king of Silla simply sending four girls to show favor to him, which in itself represented a form of alliance with each other, and these four girls could be regarded as a bridge to bring each other closer to each other and trust, and it was indeed not good to send them back directly.

"Then stay! Let them in, and I'll see what it looks like? Wang Junlin glared at Luo Shixin and Li Xuanba and said casually.

Yang Kongcian instructed the servants at the door to pick up the four girls, turned his head and continued to say to Wang Junlin: "These four girls are still knowledgeable, and their appearance is good, and they are indeed from the nobles of the Silla Kingdom, and they are not married to Zhang Tiangang, Liu Yidong, and Luo Chunlai, who are subordinate to the lord......"

Speaking of this, Yang Kongcian noticed that Luo Shixin and Li Xuanba were desperately giving her a look, so he continued: "And Shixin and Xuanba have also grown up, and there is no maid around to take care of them, if the adults don't look down on them, they can give them to their subordinates, or it is good to give Shixin and Xuanba a maid......

Luo Shixin and Li Xuanba suddenly looked excited, Wang Junlin turned his head to look at them, and snorted coldly: "Two little children, their hair has not grown, and they think about women all day. ”

Luo Shixin and Li Xuanba suddenly wilted like frosted eggplants, and lost their spirits.

"You're right, then leave them behind!"

After a pause, Wang Junlin said again: "Goguryeo has been a lot stronger in recent years, with a population of two or three million and an army of no less than 300,000.

Yang Kongcian said: "In fact, on this sea, in addition to these three countries, there are many forces ......."

"You mean the Wa Kingdom?" Wang Junlin asked.

"The Wa Kingdom is only the most powerful of them." Yang Kongcian nodded and said: "The admiration of the Japanese kingdom for the Great Sui is actually stronger than that of the Silla kingdom and the Baekje kingdom, if it is used well, it will send troops from the north of the Korean Peninsula

Goguryeo is also feasible......"

In the past, the maritime trade routes were blocked, first, it was easy to get lost in long voyages, and the navigation technology was far from mature. The second is that the sea bandits are huge, covering the mountains and blocking the sea.

But in fact, the maritime trade routes have never been completely cut off, but for a long time, the pirates themselves were also part of the maritime merchants, or they were both pirates and maritime merchants, and they had been conducting maritime trade in the feudal states of Dasui, Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla and Wa Kingdom, and some islands have occupied some islands for many years, and the scale has become larger and larger, and the accumulated population and military strength through plundering and other means cannot be underestimated.

When Yang Kongcian did things for the Lu clan, the Lu clan controlled pirates at sea and also participated in maritime trade, how could Yang Kongcian not know the benefits of maritime trade routes?

Over the years, the pirates controlled by the Lu clan have landed in Pham Yang County every year for various purposes to plunder, and a large amount of the wealth obtained has flowed into Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje, and Wa kingdoms, but the Lu clan has never attached much importance to maritime trade routes, so the scale has been kept small.

Wang Junlin sent people to operate Snake Island and the salt farm, and asked Yang Kongcian to form a caravan, which was also the right time to fill this gap, and quickly became the largest sea caravan in the entire sea area.

The raw silk, cane sugar, iron, and tea of the Great Sui were all in demand on the maritime trade routes, which could make huge profits and make up for the lack of a large amount of military funds used by Wang Junlin's side.

Moreover, it is impossible for Wang Junlin to invest unlimited troops on Bailing Island and Dami Island, support and win over Baekje and Silla, and find a way to subdue the other powerful pirate forces mentioned by Yang Kongchan, which is indeed the strategy that Wang Junlin should choose.

Zhang Tiangang pushed the door and walked over, his armor was stained with rain, and he pushed the door into the ship's hall, bringing in a cool breeze and some rain.

"It's raining outside?" Wang Junlin looked at Ge Cunxin's armor soaked and asked in surprise.

"Yes, my lord, it's raining outside," Zhang Tiangang said, unpacking the big picture, "It's a shame to go to sea a day early, otherwise there will be some minor trouble." News came back from the north that Goguryeo had indeed mobilized another 10,000 sailors to Annam, but there was no sign of sending troops immediately. In addition, as my lord expected, the people who participated in the siege of Dami Island and Bailing Island yesterday did have pirate forces that Yuan Zaizuo bought. However, it is not clear which pirate force it is for a while......"
