Chapter 154 Cash Out

"This thing is called jade. I heard that the origin is still three thousand miles west of Funan. Green is a symbol of life for all things. I heard that some southern barbarian tribes use this as their spiritual pillar and a symbol of classical spiritual charm. They are born with an unforgettable beauty. Jade is precisely the spirituality in its crystal clearness, the vitality in its full greenness, and the beauty of its natural attributes to modify a woman's inner taste and style. Jade has always been born with wealth."

Pointing at a huge jade statue, Sima Ji began to talk endlessly, using his little reserved knowledge to pretend to be mostly garlic in front of Jia Nanfeng.

Fortunately, he had not forgotten his old business and made relevant preparations in advance. Sima Ji said that he was like a surging river, introducing his robbery to Jia Nanfeng. "This thing is called crystal. I heard that it is native to the east of the Kushan Empire, which is the vassal monks of the White Horse Temple. This kind of jade is natural and crystal clear. Ji got it in the Funan Palace."

"There are so large that there are very few pearl particles, and even the entire Zhanzhou has not obtained much."

"These agates are colorful, and any woman will be happy about it. Once it spreads, I don't know how many concubines of the gentry will be ecstatic and it will be no exaggeration to spend a lot of money."

Sima Ji introduced to Jia Nanfeng one by one, and the things in his mouth are priceless. First of all, the first thing is that it is far away from the south, which cannot be proved. Secondly, things are precious because they are rare. Anyway, if others have them, you don’t have them, that’s the value. Otherwise, what is the essence of business, isn’t it just exchanged?

Even the glass cups from the Western Regions could fool the Jin Dynasty gentry into a daze. The King of Yan felt that since they could cheat, it should not be a problem for him. King of Yan was more noble than Hu Shang's status. The things he took out were more valuable than others. Now only one person needs to recognize him.

This person must be a woman. Although the aristocrats of the Jin Dynasty were very damn, they were not real women after all. Only by exploring the women's market can they always be far away or even beyond.

No one is more suitable than Jia Nanfeng, who controls the entire Jin Dynasty now. Even the queen recognizes the value of the jewelry brought back by the King of Yan, and others are even less qualified to object.

"This thing is so effective that it is so concentrating and calming. When Ji Zhong got miasma, it's thanks to this thing." Sima Ji continued to lie without blushing, but added, "But Ji Zhong had miasma that time, it was not serious. It was a disease after conquering Funan. It would be cured after ten days of cultivation."

Jia Nanfeng nodded. As a powerful woman, she should not be moved by these external things. However, the movements made by King Yan this time when he returned to the court were a bit too exaggerated. More than a thousand boxes were seen in the entire Luoyang.

The most eye-catching thing was the big coral tree. Shi Chong and Wang Kai were fighting for wealth back then, but even Emperor Wu joined in, which led to the big coral tree becoming famous in Luoyang and becoming a symbol of Shi Chong.

Now the plant in front of me is larger than what people saw at that time. There are only one box that contains such a plant. And there are seven or eight smaller plants, all of which look like Shi Chong's size. As for the jade statues that are as big as human roads, they are also flying.

"I heard that this silverware is owned by the crown prince of a country, but this kingdom has long been destroyed and has been brought to the hands of King Funan after twists and turns. Ji was not willing to bear the darkness of these treasures in the small country's pearls, so he brought them back to the emperor's sister-in-law." Sima Ji sighed at this time, as if he had made such a difficult decision.

Dong Meng's eyes wide open. The King of Yan was really a soldier who had been separated for three days. He said that the army was robbed so tactfully. It seemed that he must have learned a lot during the Southern Expedition.

"The King of Yan worked hard and made great achievements in this battle, and must be very difficult." Jia Nanfeng continued to ask.

"It's not difficult. Ji will definitely kill two people this time. One is Linyi King Fan Yi and the other is Funan King Fan Sheng. After the soldiers caught it, they were tied up. There was no danger when they took action, and it was not difficult at all." Sima Ji told the truth, not feeling embarrassed at all. "Although they didn't get much, the enemy's identity was important, and Ji was still very satisfied."

Dong Meng, who shook the whisk, lowered his head and held back his smile. The scholars and officials in the Wei and Jin Dynasties all liked to hold the whisk, which was also a symbol of their status. It also showed that he was different from those ordinary people.

"Didn't King Yan kill several natives in the Battle of Hengshan?" Jia Nanfeng also wanted to laugh and asked.

"That was when I was going to charge, but the soldiers didn't want to stop him and wrote it on it. Ji hated this very much." Sima Ji said angrily, "Linyi's small country is just a native chicken and a tile dog, why is it my opponent?"

It seems that the Nanzheng Dasheng has little to do with the King of Yan. Jia Nanfeng made the following judgment, but whether it has a big relationship is true. She will ask others in the future to see if what Sima Ji said is true.

"These treasures look dazzling, but there are too many after all. Although there are many palace maids in the harem, they can't use them either." Jia Nanfeng is a jealous person. First of all, she dressed up all the palace maids around the emperor in a beautiful way. She couldn't get through this. She couldn't use these, so she could only use them as a reward.

Sima Ji didn't expect this, but he changed the subject, "Actually, Ji wanted to give it to Xuanhua. The eldest princess is getting older and she really needs some jewelry."

"The King of Yan is still so good to Xuan Hua!" Jia Nanfeng glanced at Sima Ji and said with a smile, "Xuan Hua can't use so much, so these treasures are still placed in the national treasury."

"But these jewelry are a little darker in the treasury pearls. My Jin Dynasty actually needs copper coins for circulation. But the copper coins are all in the hands of the gentry. It is better to sell some of them to collect copper coins for civil use." Sima Ji pondered for a while and tried to put forward an opinion. If the result is successful, then if it is not successful, then it will be fine.

"Do you do business? But as the queen, I can't come forward by myself, even the Jia family has to take risks." Jia Nanfeng did not object explicitly, but raised his own doubts. It would be bad for his own family to come forward.

No royal family in any dynasty proposed to do business with a queen, but it was not so open and upright. The Confucian saliva that did not compete for profit with the people was enough to cause an uproar in the court. But it was different from the Jin Dynasty. The gentry of our great Jin Dynasty never felt ashamed of doing business. Don’t think that the court had formulated insulting laws for merchants. It was useless to control civilians, but it could not control the gentry.

There are many court ministers who make money by doing business. Needless to say, the entire Jin gentry was obsessed with money. Wang Kai monopolized many Hu merchant industries, and Shi Chong was even more powerful. He has now left Luoyang to serve as the governor of Jingzhou and led the Southern Barbarians to the higher level, and forcing him to rob!

In this regard, Shi Chong and King Yan made the method of getting rich, except that Sima Ji was larger in scale, and he could make a profit at one time, and he could take three years off once.

If Jia Nanfeng was not the queen, she didn't care whether she sold all the stolen goods to launder money. However, as the queen, she always had to worry about it. Moreover, Jia's current rule has not been long, and the coup has only been over for a year. Jia Nanfeng was still concerned about public opinion, and Jia's family is not yet arrogant.

Sima Ji also thought intimately that this was a problem. It was a bit unreasonable for the queen to do this directly. The queen's family was not an ordinary family. Just as he was thinking about it, Yu Guangshuan happened to see Dong Meng, raised his hand and pointed, "Marquis Wu'an can do this. He is the confidant of the emperor's sister-in-law and the most suitable candidate. It is really not beautiful to let the Jia family do it directly, but he has no burden."

What is Dong Meng? Eunuchs, aren’t eunuchs the ones who do such things? Otherwise, why do many emperors still have eunuchs in power? Isn’t it just that some things are difficult for themselves and need people who can trust when doing dirty work?

After saying this, Jia Nanfeng seemed to think that this person was just right when he saw Dong Meng. As King Yan said, Dong Meng was his confidant, and he could explain a lot of things.

For Jia Nanfeng, power is more important, so it is not undesirable to cash in treasures. In this way, the vassal kings and queens began to secretly plan how to get the gentry to pay for money. Of course, it was the gentry, and in ancient times the target of consumption was definitely not the common people.

The wealth of the Jin Dynasty was in the hands of the gentry class. At least Sima Ji knew that once the currency was buried in the cellar, it would basically be the same as if it did not exist. We must find a way to dig out the money of the gentry.

This batch of plundered treasures must be recognized in terms of value. Now that Jia Nanfeng nods, this is no longer a problem.

"This pearl can be made into a string, and it is called a royal family in Funan! This jade statue can be said to be a national treasure of Linyi. It has a history of two hundred years. These big families have been passed down for a long time and must like things that are old. This is all the inheritance of history."

Sima Ji didn't believe it anymore. The gentry could even accept glass cups, but they really couldn't accept these things? The queen said it was OK, who dared to say it was bad!

Jia Nanfeng nodded, and suddenly remembered a serious matter and asked the commander of the Nanzheng Commander's opinion, "Who is the new governor of Zhanzhou who thinks is more suitable after the performance?"

"I think the emperor's sister-in-law has a candidate, Ji can listen first." Sima Ji will regret his words immediately, but he cannot predict the next second, and he still doesn't know.

Jia Nanfeng pondered for a moment and asked, "Look at how Shi Chong is like! He comes from a poor family and is the son of Grand Sima Shibao."

"Well..." Sima Ji was silent for a moment and said with a forced smile, "Sister-in-law, Zhanzhou is newly established, the Southern Expedition army is too heavy to kill, and the population is huge. It takes some time to recuperate."

He had to object. The King of Yan led 100,000 people to scrape a layer of land, without even a buffer. Another person continued to scrape the land? He was very doubtful whether the Indochina Peninsula he had imagined could achieve a firm foothold.
