Chapter 145: Fengyan Joy
"Go to do it first, pick out the queen and start the plan to move south immediately. We should go back to the court." Sima Ji thought for a while and said, "I will distribute the treasures of the Funan Palace after I personally checked them. Don't think that there are too few things at that time."
"Your Highness is so good to us, and the soldiers are very grateful." Tang Chen said this from the heart. These soldiers of the Jin Dynasty may never have the chance to get this money in their lifetime. The Jin Dynasty was a military system and a military system, which centralized the management of their families to form military households. Due to years of war, there were finally "military households" specializing in combat, "scholar family", the son inherited his father's business, and even the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren were all soldiers. Moreover, they could not retire after they were old, so they instead engaged in logistics and transportation.
The King of Yan was actually very disgusted with the military households, which were mainly caused by the military households of the Yuan and Ming dynasties. The only positive effect was that the military households continued to go bankrupt, resulting in the miserable Mongolian military households having to sell their children and daughters, which brought them closer to the class relations with the Han people.
The military households in the Ming Dynasty were not as good as those in the Yuan Dynasty. In the later period, they were almost the same as beggars. The dynasty was destroyed and normal would die. Military households were prone to abolishment. Once the country had no war for many years, the military households would flee because of the enslavement of officers, plundering the wife and daughters of the military households, and sending additional miscellaneous subsidies to the government. Over time, they would become old and weak and unable to fight. Some officers concealed the escape or left the military households and did not report their land privately.
Since this was thought of, Sima Ji had to consider how to stay garrison troops to set up defenses. The Jin Dynasty's own military towns would definitely not be able to set up defenses. There could be internal strife in the Eight Kings Rebellion, and the Tang Dynasty could not consider that the Anshi Rebellion and the Eight Kings Rebellion were similar in nature.
Any military system will be destroyed over time, so Sima Ji no longer thinks about the military system, because no matter what military system is designed, it will eventually deform. So it is better to think of a solution on the garrison ground.
Sima Ji, the garrison in Zhanzhou, was still preparing to be placed at the mouth of the Lancang River, directly echoing the Xindu of the Funan Kingdom. Even if the Funan Kingdom was used to restrain Xinzhou, the Xinzhou capital and Funan Kingdom were used to threaten each other. As for the north, there were no garrison troops left, and all were handed over to the Nanyi Schoolmaster's Mansion. The gateway in the north was wide open, and the Ningzhou army could go south at any time.
Sima Ji actually couldn't lose much money when he distributed the wealth to the Hu Knights of the Imperial Army. Judging from the living standards of ordinary people in the Jin Dynasty, copper coins were the greatest wealth they had ever seen. A little leaked out of his fingers was enough to shake the eyes of these soldiers so hard that they couldn't open them. Since that was the case, he naturally felt happy and generous.
From the perspective of Sima Ji in the later generations, the value of pearl agate in his eyes was not as valuable as copper coins. But he had to admit that these things were very confusing. However, they could not give money to the Shanyue Army. They would be better off staying here to cultivate land and dividing the land and digging wasteland is better than giving money.
If the land occupied now can be passed down to later generations, Sima Ji can conclude that Guangzhou in the future should be stronger than his world. China's economic center in the future is nothing more than the Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta, and the geographical advantage really occupies a great factor. There will be the Red River Triangle and the Lancang River Triangle in the future.
This is one of the long-term map cannon attacks, who is the number one in the imperial capital, the Demon City, China. Now even the Red River Plain and the Lancang River Estuary have been occupied, and there will be more economic centers in the future. If Guangzhou can influence these two new estuaries, it will probably have a greater influence than the Demon City.
As for which city is the first, Sima Ji believes that whoever is the capital is the first. Moreover, with the increase in economic centers, the capital can adjust its policies more calmly to balance. In the future, there will be no policy of attacking the imperial capital to eat, but forget that he only eats less than the imperial capital in China, but is far more supportive than other cities. Several Hekou cities are probably more balanced.
"I will take these first this time. When I come back next time, the foundation will be better." The King of Yan, who is drawing pictures for Xindu of Funan, still felt a little regretful. He cannot have enough population support now, but in less than ten years, this situation will be greatly alleviated. He will come back next time and swallow the Indochina Peninsula in one bite.
Outside the Funan Palace, the Imperial Guards have been busy these days. Just like when they were in Linyi, they are carrying out the task of completely destroying the influence of Brahmanism. No matter whether it is stone carvings or wood carvings, they are all destroyed. What is it, jade carvings? Hurry up to the palace. I wonder if King Yan is a person who loves art very much?
Of course this is superficial work, and there is another job to do in the dark, which is to deal with most of the officials of the Funan Kingdom and replace them with the role of sincerely bowing their heads and obediently. The Funan Kingdom has been less affected by the Central Plains than Linyi, so the importance of this matter is more obvious and we must not be careless.
However, during the process of handling, Sima Ji still talked about women. Based on his understanding of women during the war, women cannot remember hatred and are much less dangerous than men of their contemporaries. Even if the danger is the same, what can they do? Can they go to coal mines or go to the battlefield? No, that is not dangerous.
"Your Highness, eat..." Hamoni came up with the food stutteringly and asked Sima Ji to eat. The imperial guards not far away glanced at him and thought they had never seen him. Their eyes had never left this former King of Funan. If they didn't keep a close eye on him, King Yan was poisoned to death by a woman, where would I put my face in Dajin?
"In the future, learn to use chopsticks, don't learn to use your hands to pick rice!" Sima Ji glanced at Hamoni, picked up a pair of chopsticks with a plain expression, and let the other party learn from himself. He had already thought about it. Once the migration to the south begins, the life of the Funan Kingdom in food, clothing, housing and transportation must be similar to that of the Jin Dynasty. This kind of hand-pickle rice learned from the third brother must become history.
The characters must also be abolished, and Chinese characters are used. Funan has characters. After all, it has been established for more than 200 years. Without characters, it cannot develop now. It is so annoying. It is as good as a Hu person. Learn Chinese characters directly.
"The King of Yan went south before August and took eight months. He defeated Linyi, Funan, and a total of 19 countries. He fought 63 times in all wars, and won all the victories. He captured 130,000 enemy troops alive, and killed twice the number. The occupied land was equivalent to the size of Yangzhou. At this time, the above statement was established. The King of Yan meant that it was named Zhan!"
"When the King of Yan heard that Luoyang had food supply in Huainan and the canal capacity was insufficient, he was willing to escort the people captured in this battle to the north to serve as laborers for the construction of the canal, so he could avoid the suffering of corvee labor and rest."
As soon as Wang Rong said this, many court officials were talking about it. Luoyang's grain was allocated from Huainan. In fact, it had already begun in the Eastern Han Dynasty. With the population recovering in the later period of the Three Kingdoms, grain distribution began to become a problem again. Although it was not a big problem, who would not want the place where they are better?
In the minds of the gentry of the Jin Dynasty, life was uncontradictory to the romanticism of famous scholars. Shi Chong had a manor in the Jingu Stream of Henan County. "Ten miles away from the city, either high or lower, there were clear springs and lush forests, fruits, bamboos, cypresses, and herbs. Ten hectares of gold fields, two hundred sheep, chickens, pigs, geese and ducks, and so on. There were also water mills, fish ponds, and earth caves, which were prepared for fun."
Shi Chong's manor is not only large, but also has a luxurious decoration. Even the toilet is hung with a document, and the incense is like a bedroom. There are more than a dozen beautiful maids in it who serve to go to the toilet with sachets and provide clothes. Guests can change into new clothes once they go to the toilet.
This is not like Shi Chong himself, but most of the court officials' families are like this, but it is not as rich as Shi Chong to afford it. In Luoyang, such a large group of gentry, you can imagine why Luoyang's food supply still relies on Huainan.
On the one hand, they emphasize the romanticism of famous scholars, on the other hand, they are arrogant, extravagant and lustful. They seem to have conflicts, but in fact they are not contradictory at all. They even complement each other. Each family has slaves, and whether they are so-called self-selling people or buying and selling Hu people, they are not considered human in their eyes.
Sima Ji wanted to use more than 100,000 prisoners of war to expand the canal, but there was no such thing as the guards who had imagined that they had come out to oppose it. Instead, several court officials came out to oppose it. "The King of Yan was too serious in this battle. If he could restrain his murderous intentions in his heart, I believe that the number of prisoners would increase, and that would be far more than 130,000 prisoners, and the canal could be built as soon as possible."
"Yes, yes, the King of Yan still doesn't understand that it hurts the sky and the killing is too severe." Several court officials nodded in agreement, "If you have a little kindness, wouldn't it be easier for 200,000 prisoners to build the canal?"
Sima Ji guessed that someone would criticize him, but he didn't expect that he would criticize him like this. If a group of Confucian scholars came out and said that he killed too much, he would certainly not be happy, but at least he admired the other party, at least he was a good person. What is this now? He killed too much and didn't catch too many prisoners of war, so the time to build the canal would be long, which would delay your enjoyment?
Sima Ji, who was far away in Funan, knew that catching slaves was not a good thing, but these ministers in Luoyang were not bad. Not only did they not think it was not a good thing, but they also thought it was a natural thing.
"The first time the King of Yan led his troops, don't blame me." Zhang Hua said to Sima Ji, "This battle will greatly increase the prestige of our great Jin Dynasty. The old minister has already prepared a list of officials for the land of the great state. Although the local miasma is everywhere and it is not a good place, it is a new place to enter."
"The Secretary of the Central Committee is like this!" When he heard that miasma was everywhere, many court officials were not interested. Why were the northern gentry not even willing to go to the south? At most, they were just staying in Jingzhou and Yangzhou's prefectures and counties. Isn't it because they were not adapted to the climate in the south? Unless they were the governors of a state, they were really not interested.
