False Eunuch: With Many Children, I'm as Happy as a Fish in Water

The so-called Goryeo,

According to Lin Chen's understanding of the background of this world, it was a feudal dynasty that unified the peninsula.

Currently in power is the Quanzhou Li family, also known as the famous Li dynasty.

Because the peninsula is close to Li and Tang Dynasties, it is deeply influenced by Confucian culture.

Before Li Tang, as long as the Central Plains Dynasty flourished, the peninsula dynasty regarded itself as the younger brother of the Central Plains.

Because of this, the Li Dynasty, as a vassal state, was also very comprehensive in its sinicization.

The high-ranking officials regarded the Chinese language as an elegant pronunciation and the writing of Chinese language as a noble one.

Especially in the past ten years or so, Goryeo has generally had a flattering relationship with Li Tang.

Otherwise, Li Tang would not have sent an army of 30,000 servants to join the Hou Jin expedition this time.

You know, Goryeo, a country with a small land and poor people, had less than 200,000 troops in the country.

As for why Goryeo is like this?

The reason is even simpler.

During the reign of Emperor Li Tang, Japanese pirates broke out to cause chaos.

If it had not been for help from the Li Tang Dynasty, the entire Li Dynasty would have been destroyed long ago.

Although the Japanese pirates have retreated, their ambitions have not died and they have always coveted the peninsula.

If they did not hug Li Tang's thighs tightly, the Li Dynasty would feel that they could not defeat the Japanese pirates.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen's eyes showed a thoughtful look.

The visit of the Goryeo envoy should be for the 30,000 captured Goryeo troops, right?

When the old slave was defeated earlier, this group of captured Goryeo soldiers also took advantage of the chaos to escape, and most of them were gathered up by Lin Chen's soldiers.

Now they are all resettled in Jinzhou as refugees.

It happened that Lin Chen's newly built Jinzhou city defense lacked manpower, so he mobilized these Koreans.

Just eat three meals a day, two thin and one dry.

These Korean people are already very grateful.

After all, in Goryeo at this time, white rice was eaten by the upper class nobles.

"Send him in." Lin Chen nodded slightly and said.

The personal guards who were ordered to retire soon brought a few people in.

If you don't look carefully.

The attire of these Goryeo envoys was almost the same as that of Li Tang's literati.

It seems that Goryeo's imitation of Li Tang was really to the point of fanaticism.

Jin Shangui, who didn't know what Lin Chen was thinking, carefully learned Li Tang's etiquette and kowtowed.

Before he came, he found out that Li Tang, the official in charge of Jinzhou, was a military general.

This person made a surprise attack on the capital of the slave kingdom and directly captured most of the Jurchen dignitaries.

Goryeo has naturally dealt with the Jurchens in recent years, and without exception, they all suffered losses.

There was also a ridiculous incident in which hundreds of Jurchen soldiers defeated the 20,000-strong army in Goryeo.

Facing General Li Tang, who could not get any benefits from the Jurchens, Jin Shangui secretly regretted it.

If I had known earlier, I would have inquired about the other person's interests and hobbies and offered gifts.

"Are you the Korean envoy?!"

Lin Chen's tone was calm and his eyes fell on Jin Shangui and others.

"The vassal minister Jin Shangui has met the heavenly general~" Jin Shangui immediately kowtowed respectfully and signed up.

"Get up."

Jin Shangui was secretly shocked when he heard that the general's tone was calm and not aristocratic at all.

He is worthy of being an official of the Celestial Kingdom, and he is really incomparable to the heirs of aristocratic families in the country who have high aspirations.

"Why are you here this time?"

Lin Chen ignored Jin Shangui's changing expression in front of him, and his eyes fell back on the document in his hand.

"Master Tianjiang, it's like this..." Jin Shangui explained.

Just as he thought.

Jin Shangui came here really for those captured soldiers.

These 30,000 people cannot be left alone.

Lin Chen understood clearly after hearing this.

In this case, he just happened to go to see the progress of the Jinzhou city defense built by these Koreans.

When Jinzhou was attacked by Hou Jin, the city defenses were severely damaged and naturally needed to be repaired.

But in the bitter cold season, working on the construction site is hard work.

If local laborers from Liaodong are to be recruited, I am afraid it will arouse a lot of public dissatisfaction.

So Lin Chen ordered Yang Zhi, who was supervising the project, to have a better attitude towards these Korean people.

Make up for any lack of clothes and wear, don't be exhausted.

Otherwise, local Liaodong laborers will have to be recruited when the time comes.

"grown ups!"

Yang Zhizheng and several of his followers huddled in a shack, warming themselves by the fire.

Seeing that he was wearing three layers of fur clothes under his armor, and his face was still red from the cold, Lin Chen shook his head imperceptibly.

In terms of keeping out the cold, you also need to look at cotton-padded clothes.

The cotton seeds purchased from the Pagoda Chamber of Commerce have now been cultivated by agricultural plantation officials, and the results will be seen soon.

Jin Shangui also saw Yang Zhi, who had a terrifying face and a green mark on his forehead, and subconsciously lowered his head and smiled in apology.

"Um?"

Yang Zhi noticed Jin Shangui and others, with a look of surprise on his face.

What are the origins of these guys who follow my master?

"They are envoys from Korea, coming for the soldiers of Korea." Lin Chen reminded.

He had previously told Yang Zhi not to freeze to death from exhaustion.

When Yang Zhi heard this, he immediately understood.

"Sir, only seventy-eight people have died from the sores in recent days."

"oh?!"

Lin Chen nodded nonchalantly and glanced at the Jinzhou City Wall, which was almost completed.

Yang Zhi also reported to Lin Chen about the construction of this group of Koreans.

In Yang Zhi's view.

Repairing the city wall in such weather was a hard job after all, so he had already made plans to suppress the trouble caused by this gang of Koreans.

But don't want to.

This group of Korean people learned that the city wall was being repaired, so they went there obediently without causing trouble.

After knowing that he had to take care of food and distribute clothes every day, Yang Zhi was shocked by his burst of energy.

The time when Lin Chen came with Jin Shangui happened to be noon.

"dinner time!"

The Korean soldiers who were busy at first suddenly shouted from someone unknown and suddenly started to make a fuss.

They all came in droves with excited faces.

Jin Shangui, who was standing by, looked grim when he saw this, and secretly cursed these guys in his heart for being an insult to the country and the face of the Korean nation.

But when he saw the meals distributed, his eyes widened.

"Is that...polished rice food? And pickle stew to go with it?!"

In Goryeo, this was something only middle-level officials could afford.

Even Jin Shangui couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Greedy.

As expected of the Celestial Empire, even the meals provided to the lower-class workers are so exquisite!

What Jin Shangui didn't know was.

Lin Chen simply knew that this kind of heavy physical labor could easily lead to death if he didn't eat enough.

The daily consumption is only three hundred stones.

Looking at the faces of these Goryeo soldiers, all of them are not sallow and thin, but there is still a faint trace of blood.

Good guy, I’ve gained weight!

"Golden Messenger, do you want to do some inventory?"

Lin Chen noticed something strange in Jin Shangui's eyes, but didn't pay much attention.

"No... no need!"

Jin Shangui shook his head repeatedly.

only.

Lin Chen looked at the Korean soldiers lined up on both sides with clear lines between Hua Jing and Wei, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

They are all Koreans, but they seem to be as powerful as fire and water.

If there weren't Habayashi guards on duty nearby, I'm afraid there would have been a fight.

"What's going on?" Lin Chen looked at Yang Zhi.

Yang Zhi, who understood the meaning of his master's eyes, spread his hands.

This was already the case after he took over this group of Korean soldiers.
