Sima Ji was definitely teaching Liu Ye some of his knowledge. Sometimes he had to admire his vision and chose a very smart queen of Funan. The family may have changed dramatically, and the little girl worked very hard, which was extraordinary. When he was about to return to the court, the King of Yan could be said to have given all his money.

"King, why does Dajin collect the cap tax and Funan collect the land tax?" Liu Ye asked seriously with his little face raised, "If you want the two countries to be integrated, why don't you directly adopt the same system as Dajin?"

Of course, this is to treat Funan as a test field, but Sima Ji didn't say that, which was a bit too blatant and thought, "I 700 or 800 years ago, a thinker said that in terms of taxation, there is no need to worry about taxation but unevenness. The capitation tax is very effective, but it is very unfair, because many people are penniless themselves. When they cannot pay taxes, they will hide in the mountains and sieges and be out of the control of the country. Once there are too many people who are not under the control of the country, it will be a hidden danger to the country! Compared with people, the land will not run away. Paying more places and paying less places can also ensure some fairness."

Considering that although the little queen has a talent for language, she still has a short study after all, Sima Ji said it very slowly, so she stopped saying a word and gave the other party time to digest it. After the other party nodded in a vague way, she said again, "Business tax has more advantages in this regard, because mutual trading can transfer conflicts belonging to the country to other countries in one channel. Moreover, the world is so big, the products are different, and exchanging the missing parts can also bridge your own shortcomings."

Sima Ji does not think that business can transfer conflicts between one's own side, but Sima Ji doesn't think he is wrong. The contradictions are always there, it depends on who can transfer the conflicts, otherwise how could there be a trade war?

Don’t think that there was no trade war in ancient times. The West Asian countries benefited the most from the Silk Road. The tax collapse of the Roman Empire was a huge reason for the crisis in the late Roman period. The West Asian Empire would become stronger and stronger only after both ends of the West Asian Empire. Although the Central Plains dynasty was the starting point of the Silk Road, it definitely did not take much advantage, it was just a little stronger than the Roman Empire.

Although the currency seen by Sima Ji among the merchants of Zhuluo were Roman gold coins, he actually knew that these gold coins were minted before. During this period of the Jin Dynasty, the Roman Empire should actually be in the silver standard. The Jin Dynasty was similar, using silver to support the currency market.

The new capital of Funan guards the Lancang River Estuary, and like the new capital of Zhanzhou, Lancang, they are extremely superior places. This superiority is not only on land, but also in the estuary of rivers. It even includes the ocean. The estuary of the Lancang River is not far from the Gulf of Thailand in later generations. Although Sima Ji has never been to the Gulf of Thailand, it can be imagined from the terrain.

Land on three sides surrounds the sea, which is a standard inland sea terrain. It is equivalent to the Bohai Bay next to Youzhou.

"In the eyes of the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, there is actually no distinction between officials and people. There is only one king, and everyone is equal below the king. Therefore, the noble person is only you. Just treat the officials and the people as a group of people. This is what a queen should do!" Sima Ji said with his waist, "After learning the text, you can write a letter to me, and I will definitely reply."

"I will definitely write a letter!" Liu Ye pinched his waist with his hands, looking like he looked like Sima Ji.

As for whether the Funan Kingdom will become stronger and stronger, and even pose a threat to the Jin Dynasty. The King of Yan was not worried about this. If even the countries on the Indochina Peninsula could pose a fatal threat to the Central Plains dynasty, it means that this dynasty is not very qualified and should perish...

While the two were chatting, the preparations for returning to the court were almost done. Among the Southern Expedition Army, the Jiaozhou Army and the Shanyue Army were left behind and allocated to the reclaimed land. The King of Yan never left, and this work was not completed.

He simply didn't have to wait too long. As for the troops returning to the court, the main ones were Luoyang Imperial Guards and Hu Cavalry outside the Frontier. After a series of wars, the combined number of people of the two armies was only over 10,000. This also included soldiers who were not accommodating the local conditions, and the remaining number was still there.

Although the King of Yan tried his best to avoid entering the dense forest and forming a tug-of-war, and even cultivated for three months, he still took many lives because he was not accommodating the environment. Fortunately, the Southern Conquest Army recruited troops from Jiangnan and Jiaozhou. If all of them were composed of northerners, Sima Ji would not ask for merit, and he would have to think about whether he had defeated him now before he could answer.

Zu Ti and Zhou Chu were all going back to Luoyang, while Lu Ji needed to wait and report his work. Sima Ji also discussed with Hu Qi specifically, hoping that the other party could keep the horses, at least not have to take them back with one person and two horses. It would be enough for each person to take one back. Returning to the court is not an expedition, so much is needed.

Now, the King of Yan has made a fortune because of his southern expedition. He will not mention the 2 million yuan rewarded by Luoyang, nor will he scatter the land of two countries and more than a dozen vassal states. With the filial piety of the gentry in Jiangnan, the extremely eager Sima Ji can spend a while.

"It is rare for Your Highness to be so polite to these Hu people." Tang Shen couldn't help but sigh when he saw Sima Ji and a group of Hu generals having fun and achieving his goal perfectly.

Sima Ji stopped and looked at Tang Shen and said, "Do you think I am a courtier in Luoyang? I only care about hostility to the Hu people and can't do anything. The Hu people don't have to give birth, and how much money they give, they will be able to return to my treasury sooner or later."

Sima Ji doesn't need to explain this. Anyway, as soon as the market opens, who knows who makes money, and how can King Yan remind others?

The warships by the riverside were all looking at each other, and sails had already risen. It was already the day for the troops to return to the court. The day before, Sima Ji had already written a memorial explaining the route of the troops to return to the court.

The route back was from the sea, because Sima Ji wanted to return to Youzhou first, of course he would not say that in the memorial, but used the excuse of the Xianbei people wanting to go home to hide their desire to go home. He sailed up from the mouth of the Lancang River, sailed along the coast into the Bohai Sea, and then landed in Tianjin Wei, and then asked the Hu Qi to enter Pingzhou to wait. Sima Ji led the Luoyang Imperial Army and the Hu Qi general to Luoyang to report his life.

On this day, Funan Queen Liu Ye also came out to see her off and stood on the shore and said, "King, I have named Xindu Longchuan. If you have time, I hope the king can come back and have a look."

"Good name, I will definitely come back if I have time." Sima Ji nodded with a smile. Before boarding the ship, he looked at the place he had been stunned for nearly a year, as if he wanted to remember it, and then quickly boarded the ship neatly, and he would come back.

If it weren't for the lack of manpower, this southern expedition would never have ended like this. Now he left behind almost all the soldiers of the southern expedition, but compared with the occupied land, it can still be said that the land is vast and sparsely populated. Now he can only do this.

Sima Ji, who once vowed not to take a boat, took a boat again, but there was nothing he could do. He could not box all the treasures he robbed along the way from land to Youzhou, otherwise everyone would know that the King of Yan made a fortune this time.

In fact, it is almost the same now, because in the memorial he had mentioned that he would dedicate the plundered jewelry to the treasury. He also made a big announcement, waiting for the king to succeed in victory.

But the real good things are all wrapped in elephant skins. All the leaks must be handed over to the treasury.

As a person who is consistent in words and deeds, Sima Ji did not deliberately show low-key. Along the way, he seemed to be afraid that others would not know that he had returned to the court. He walked and stopped. He had to stay for two days when he arrived in Jiaozhou Longbian and got off the boat for two days when he arrived in Guangzhou Bay. Finally, he was honest for a while, and stayed for two days when he arrived in the estuary of the Yangtze River. When he was about to arrive in Youzhou, he got off the boat when he was approaching Qingzhou and ran to Qi State to chat and laugh with Sima Ji.

When Sima Ji heard that Sima Ji was going to Luoyang, Sima Ji said that he would report to the death after he had settled the Hu Qi. The two would meet in Luoyang. During this period, they would exchange cups and smile, looking harmonious, "It's such a peaceful and prosperous era!" Sima Ji was moved.

Cough cough! Tang Shen coughed a few times and continued to raise his glass to signal to the officials of Qi State, but he pretended that he didn't hear it.

When Youzhou was approaching and preparing to get ashore, the Yan King's senior Northeast bearded outfit appeared again. He had been expeditioning south for a little over a year, and it was winter in Youzhou.

Before docking, all the officials of Yan State, including the inner historian, chief clerk, record and record, were all available, and there was also an unknown general and schoolmaster. After the King of Yan got off the ship, the entire port was cheering.

"The cheers are a bit fake, please pay attention in the future!" Sima Ji looked in a very good mood. When he walked to Yan Yan, he whispered, "Who is that general?"

"Absolutely pay attention, Your Highness!" Yan Yan agreed and reported in a low voice, "Is it a lieutenant sent from Luoyang, call me?"

"Not to mention the name, I am going to move things. I will return to Luoyang to report my life. I don't have much time to delay here. You should prepare for the past year. When I am back, you will make it clear without missing a single thing."

Sima Ji gave a few simple instructions, whether it was good or bad news, he would wait until he came back. It would not be done after the war. He was still very clear at this point. The villain died because he talked a lot, and the domineering one died because he pretended to be arrogant.

It has been so long now, which shows that Queen Jia Nanfeng has completely gained a foothold. He cannot be unaware of the greatness of the world just because he wins a battle.
