Chapter 157 Green Beads
However, there is no hurry to do this. Sima Ji still communicated with Shi Chong to the richest man. Although Shi Chong and Wang Kai left a bad reputation in later generations, Shi Chong was even more notorious for urging people to drink and kill people. But in Luoyang now, the reputation of the two is completely different. Wang Kai's reputation is really not very good, but Shi Chong is indeed a famous scholar.
Whoever says that a famous scholar cannot persuade people to drink and kill people, whoever says that a famous scholar cannot rob, I, a famous scholar in Dajin, can do it.
A noble background is definitely helpful for the career, but the family cannot guarantee that the children of the gentry will become high-ranking officials. When Yang Jun was the county magistrate, he was never promoted, but Shi Chong was promoted to prefect not long after he became the county magistrate. The two have different situations, mainly because Yang Jun's ability is not good.
However, by definition, Shi Chong was still a poor family. When he was an official in the Jin Dynasty, a good reputation was as important as a noble background. Without a noble background, there would be no career, and without a good reputation, there would be no future.
The easiest way to create reputation is to buy it with money. If Sima Ji hadn't talked with Shi Chong for a while, he would never have known the truth. No wonder the gentry of the Jin Dynasty was different from other dynasties. He was so obsessed with money, and it turned out that he was following the route of money being able to connect with the gods.
"This is a bit of a powerful capitalism! The productivity of the Jin Dynasty was not very good, but the understanding of money was very advanced!" Sima Ji looked at Shi Chong, who was talking nonsense, and he couldn't help but think so. However, if this thing is done, it is a noble republic, and if it is done well, it is a Brahmin. Judging from the results in the future, it must have been not done well.
But where did this money come from? Of course it was taken from the people. Otherwise, why did the gentry of the Jin Dynasty like slaves? Especially those who like Hu slaves, who are cheaper, and of course, they also include refugees.
"Compared with these bastards, I am as pure as a newborn baby." Sima Jishen, whose thoughts were baptized, agreed. He also felt that he was a bit too much in Yan State. Now it seems that there is nothing at all. The King of Yan is definitely worthy of the word "Love the people as a son".
Just because he dared to deal with his father-in-law Yang Ying for selling private salt, this matter could be hyped for twenty years. Isn’t it just that Shi Chong killed maids in front of a group of gentry? Because the Jin Dynasty had a system for gentry, which originated from the violation of the law in the Eight Discussions, and the severity was not in the criminal book. The eight discussions included the royal family, meritorious deeds and descendants of the gentry.
Those who include these people will not be punished for breaking the law. They will not be punished for robbery, murder, slave trafficking, or corruption.
"Repeat death, two kilograms of gold; redeem the punishment of five years old, one kilogram of gold twelve liang; redeem the punishment of four years old, one kilogram of gold 8 liang; redeem the punishment of three years old, one kilogram of gold 4 liang; redeem the punishment of two years old, one kilogram of gold." As long as the Jin Dynasty was not a rebellion, it could buy life with money.
"King Yan, Shi Chong is so fascinating to see King Yan's demeanor, as if he had seen your style during the Southern Expedition!" Shi Chong said with his tongue, "It's a pity that there is not much time. Shi Chong will return to Jingzhou in a few days."
"All the kings under the world are kings, and all the kings are kings and ministers in the world are. It's time for me to return to Youzhou. The future is long, and I will meet the governor!" Sima Ji said this sentence in a pun, and looked at the lobby inadvertently, saying with some meaning, "The governor is really good, these maids are so beautiful."
"If the King of Yan likes it, you can take it away." Shi Chong said generously, "Women are nothing more than external things to real men."
"Then I'm not polite. I wonder if there is anyone named Luzhu in the governor's mansion!" Sima Ji was not embarrassed at all and asked for someone directly.
"Luzhu, it turns out that King Yan likes young people. No wonder, King Yan is not old." Shi Chong showed an expression that you and I knew, "Luzhu was bought by me when I was interviewing in Jiaozhou. I was only eight years old at the time, and now I am only twelve years old. But I look a little bit."
It turned out to be a Vietnamese? Sima Ji felt that the historical books were overstatement and that even beautiful things would not be as beautiful as it was. But this is not accurate. These traitors who were bound by territory were not without gene comparison in later generations, and the Han genes accounted for 40%. What about Vietnamese people, just a group of traitors.
"I have heard that the governor spent a lot of money, so he wanted to meet him." Sima Ji seemed to mention it in every game unintentionally.
"That's the Ten-Slant Pearl, which can be said to be a waste of money." When Qian Shichong said that, his eyes lit up, and then he made a painful expression and said, "Since King Yan likes it, together with Luzhu, Shichong is willing to send twenty beautiful maids."
"Then I will be disrespectful." Sima Ji felt that he had learned bad things and was so skillful in taking over the robbery. It was the fault of these gentry, which actually caused me to fall into depravity.
Luzhu is not old now, and it is impossible to say that she is descending to the earth. However, the sad temperament between her eyebrows has begun to appear. In a few years, it may really have the beauty recorded in historical books.
Only after finishing this important thing can Sima Ji deal with the trivial matters of the royal family. There is a saying on the billiards that refers to wherever he hits. The opposite is true here, he points to wherever he hits. He first does things, and then thinks about excuses.
"When I take you back to Youzhou, I still have to learn some things again." Sima Ji asked calmly, "What does Shi Chong treat you?"
"It's okay to us, but sometimes guests come and punish us. Many sisters are afraid of this!" A maid said timidly.
Just punished Sima Ji nodded. When facing Wang Dun and Wang Dao, Shi Chong would directly kill people on the spot. It seemed that it was because of the other party's famous identity. Ordinary guest Shi Chong would not kill people just because he didn't drink, otherwise his maid might not be enough to kill.
This is to mention the origin issue. Shi Chong's origin is incomparable to the Wang family of Langya. Based on Sima Ji's preliminary observation, the Dajin Rule has at least many different differences in the same crime due to different identities.
It can be roughly divided into four levels. The first is the royal family and the high-ranking gentry, the second is the poor gentry, the third is the registered households and the fourth is the so-called untouchables such as military farming households, tenants, military households, workers, and miscellaneous households. Under this, there are slaves, and their identities cannot be considered humans, slightly higher than livestock.
Sima Ji is the first type of person, Shi Chong is the second type of person, and the civilians in Yan State are the third type of person, and the fourth type of person was thrown into Zhanzhou for military farming by the King of Yan's southern expedition. There are many slaves, and there are many Hu people who sell themselves and arrest them.
Change people at these levels, such as changing the word, Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya, Shudra, and untouchable, is perfect.
Otherwise, if the King of Yan was full, why would he have to erase all the land he occupied and all the traces of Brahmanism during the southern expedition? If he continued to fight, the Jin Dynasty would have to border South Asia. The internal environment of the Jin Dynasty is definitely not very suitable to be so close to South Asia.
After returning to Yong'an, he settled these maids, and Sima Ji asked him to go to the main palaces to send a message, saying that he was going to entertain the royal kings in the mansion, and then he began to think about how to play his vain and explain the importance of Hetao to the Jin Dynasty. Unfortunately, he could not think of what to grab to impress other royal families for a while.
This time and then, compared with the situation that was kicked out of the Southern Expedition by King Runan, the current situation was different. Sima Liang, who was in charge of the regent of the dynasty, was already completely disappointed. King Yan returned with great victory. After entering the city with an extremely high profile, it became a topic of conversation for people after dinner. Sima Ji had already gained his own status in this powerful royal family rare in history.
Even if there is not, with his harmonious relationship with Jia Nanfeng, there is still, and all the royal families must measure it.
Sima Ji first asked someone to invite Sima Gan, the King of Pingyuan. Pingyuan Wang is the younger brother of Sima Shi and Sima Zhao. Currently, Sima Gan is a royal family with relatively high qualifications and status.
Forced himself not to think about the other party's necrophilia, Sima Ji felt that it was good to use the other party's prestige to summon the royal family. Obviously, Sima Ji was lucky. The Pingyuan King was not at the time of relapse of mental illness, so it seemed normal and was willing to contact the royal family in Luoyang for Sima Ji.
In addition, there are nearly twenty vassal kings, including Sima Yong, King Fanyang, Sima Xu, King Liang, Sima Tong, etc. The world is peaceful, and the royal family will not always stay in a place where they leave the town. The royal family of the Jin Dynasty is not willing to leave Luoyang at all. Who dares to say that the royal family should be a country, the royal family will remember this person and will take his life if necessary.
When the people were almost there, Sima Ji raised his glass and said, "Dear uncles and brothers, Ji has one thing to say to you. After discussion, I and the emperor decided to capture Hetao at the appropriate time and restore the old land of the Han Dynasty. There are several benefits to this battle. One is to establish authority, the other is to expand territory, and the third is to show your determination to recover the land lost by Cao Cao and to show my attitude towards the Great Jin Dynasty. I wonder what your uncles and brothers think?"
"It's not good to start a war!" Sima Gan pondered for a moment, "It's better to be more important to be harmonious."
"Is it the queen's meaning? When will it start? Who will take charge?" King Sima Yong of Hejian asked directly, not taking Sima Gan's remarks seriously at all. Who doesn't know that there is something wrong with the spirit of the Pingyuan King? Such a major event, the opinions of the Pingyuan King can basically be ignored.
"It will take at least one year to prepare, because the southern expedition has just been completed, and it is not suitable for a big fight this year. As for who will be in charge!" Sima Ji pondered for a moment, attracted the attention of twenty princes and princes and said lightly, "I don't know, I will return to Youzhou anyway, and I am willing to give some help in my spirit. If there are many cattle and sheep robbed, I am willing to pay for it."
