Chapter 160: Youzhou on the painting

"Is it the Bingzhou people who moved to Yang Jun? Didn't they be taken apart?" Sima Ji asked Yan Yan. Youzhou was generally vast and sparsely populated. He had heard of an armed fight in Guanzhong because of the competition for water sources, especially in the season when water sources were insufficient. He originally did not happen in Youzhou, but he didn't expect that he was taught a lesson when he returned after leaving for a year.

"Some conflicts are normal. Your Highness mainly has some problems with the resettlement location. There are also some differences in the living habits of immigrants from Bingzhou, which are different from locals, and both sides can't stand it." Yan Yan reported in a 11-minute report, "Just as the Tingwei said, this matter is indeed not easy to deal with."

"It's just that I'm killing lightly. Now I can deal with it for them. All the villages and villages in the fight are moved to Liaoxi County. It's equivalent to exile. There are even fewer people in Liaoxi County. I don't know how to settle the place of residence." Sima Ji chuckled. As long as the perspective of view is different, bad things can turn into good things.

As for whether the migrated villages are willing, the King of Yan is not worried about this. He gave the other party the right to choose. If he is not afraid of losing his head, these migrated tenant farmers can choose to rebel. But if the rebellion fails, haha...

"Did you know that Pingzhou has built a new city by the sea?" Sima Ji just handled small matters like armored fights. The key is to communicate with major matters outside the border. The first is to choose a sea route. The Bohai Sea has this condition, and the location I chose was the location of Lushun.

Now the conditions are more mature, because Liaoxi County has also become his fief. From Youzhou to the outer border, there is actually only one land route, which is through Liaoxi. There are too many wars here. Hundreds of thousands of troops in the Sui Dynasty were defeated and were captured by Goguryeo, which has a lot to do with the terrain here.

The Tang Dynasty also attached importance to sea routes to prevent its own side from avoiding the mistakes of following the army. Now Sima Ji's foundation is better than that of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Liaoxi County had been lost for hundreds of years. For the Sui and Tang Dynasties, they were not local warfares. The local warfare was Goguryeo. Now Liaoxi County itself is its fiefdom. He only needs to store some supplies there in a year and save enough money to start a war against Goguryeo.

The only disadvantage is that the population of Liaoxi County is too small, with only 4,000 households on the books, and even if there are hidden households, there will not be too many. Perhaps most of the hidden households are still Xianbei people.

The best way is to immigrate to the border and adopt the countermeasures of "reclamation and garrisoning the border". In addition to stationing troops in strategic border areas and participating in military farming, more people are immigrating to the border areas in the mainland, and cultivate farming under armed protection to provide military rations and strengthen border defense. Emperor Wu of Han immigrated more than 700,000 people at a time, enriching the northern counties.

The implementation of the combination of military and agricultural work not only reduces the country's military pay burden, but also ensures the safety of the border. Due to the measures of immigrating and migrating the border and guarding the border.

Add to Emperor Wen of Han before Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Jing of Han, the number of migrants left behind was 2 million.

Sima Ji was very envious of more than two million people. His vassal state was only 20,000 to 30,000 households. When the Jin Dynasty first replaced Wei, the population of Shu was 16 million. After more than ten years, the Wu State was destroyed. In that case, the statistics ten years ago showed that there were 3.7 million households and 24 million households. The three emperors of the Han Dynasty immigrated to the border, which was already one-tenth of the population of the Jin Dynasty.

Sima Ji used 20,000 to 30,000 households to immigrate to Shibian, which seemed unrealistic.

"It seems that we must show off our operations!" Sima Ji said intimately, relying on the 4,000 households in Liaoxi County and the Xianbei people to save their families to travel north. How long does it take? Without a population, there will be nothing. But he cannot immigrate from his own ban. Pingzhou is still a military institution. As the general of Zhendong, he cannot interfere too much in Pingzhou's internal affairs.

We must find someone outside, and Bingzhou cannot consider it, not because of the armed fight just now. It is mainly because Bingzhou does not have a large population, which is like an anemia patient, and cannot always transfusion blood to another anemia patient. Youzhou and Bingzhou can be said to be in trouble in terms of population. Drawing blood from Bingzhou is to create conditions for rebellion for Liu Yuan.

We need to find ways from the prefectures and counties in the Central Plains, especially the traditional residences on both sides of the Yellow River. Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou. Why can't people be drawn from Jizhou? It is mainly because the entire thirteen fiefdoms of Jizhou. The local vassal kings easily discovered this. The local governors and governors of the prefectures and counties will have smaller goals.

Although the Jin Dynasty was a lack of population as a whole, as a traditional state with a large population, we can still think of ways. Although the population of the Jin Dynasty is not as good as any dynasty, as long as the base is still there, growth is definitely not a problem.

"Zhang Da, come to me with all the good painters in Youzhou. I want to meet you." Sima Ji made up his mind and felt that he should imitate the experience of later generations and package Youzhou.

How to package this matter, King Yan believes in one sentence. No matter what lies it is, as long as you dare to tell them, someone will dare to believe them. If you don’t believe them, it is not a lie, and they will only treat you as a fool.

As soon as he returned to Jicheng, Sima Ji soon showed off a wave of lightning operations. Amid the cheers of the people of Jicheng, he cut off a group of heads and gained the prestige of the people. Then he immediately investigated Qimin, a registered household in Liaoxi County. He didn't even have time to ask about iron mines, coal mines, glass craftsmen, and girls picking up girls, and directly ordered people to find painters in Youzhou.

"Tiraga left last time and said that he would definitely send craftsmen this time, that's good. Don't always send women. There are not enough women in the royal palace. You have to send some noble women over and make a bunch of common women who don't know a word. Some of them don't take this king seriously." Sima Ji said in silence, complaining to Yan Yan, "I can't even do something like robbery. What's the use of asking him? It's better than the bandits on the river."

"Also, I have to burn coal into charcoal. I need to find some charcoal craftsmen. If there is charcoal, there will be coke. They will do it themselves and get rewards if they are done!" Sima Ji ordered while walking, and soon arrived at the main hall. The main hall was filled with painters from all over Youzhou, with dozens of people, either covered in white beards or beautiful robes. They were old and young, dressed in luxury and simple, and there were many different types of people.

All these painters came to Jicheng after hearing the imperial edict of the King of Yan. Although they had never heard of the King of Yan as a genius, in order to gain an advanced level, even if the King of Yan was a wine bag, they would try it.

"Everyone is polite. I don't know that there are so many talented and virtuous people in Youzhou." Sima Ji glanced at everyone and began to praise him in a simplicity. He asked someone to do something and said a few words of scenes.

"King Yan, may I ask that King Yan, who returned from Nanzheng, has greatly promoted the power of my great Jin Dynasty. I am so lucky to see the king today. I wonder if the king asked us to make portraits for the king?" A painter dressed in a middle-aged scholar spoke first, first praised Sima Ji Nanzheng's achievements, and then asked if he was a self-portrait.

"This is not enough to be as good as the portrait is to be framed!" Sima Ji broke the thoughts of these painters as soon as he opened his mouth. He asked these painters to come over, not to paint for himself.

He always thought that the ancient portraits of various civilizations were actually not very good in terms of characters. Sima Ji might not recognize him when he painted them. But if it was a landscape painting, ancient ink paintings should be considered one of the more outstanding among many civilizations.

In the confused expressions of the painters, Sima Ji flattered himself calmly, "This is a peaceful and prosperous era. Since the king succeeded to the King of Yan, he has been in great governance in his place. The people live and work in peace and contentment. They do not pick up their own houses on the road and do not close their doors at night. The border trade and trade are in full swing, and the tenants have wealth and their families are consolidating. This is a peaceful and prosperous era."

Sima Ji was completely moved, and Piao Piaoran began to intoxicate himself. Obviously, the armed fight that had just been dealt with did not delay the good mood of the King of Yan. "I want you to paint the rich scene of Yan State, which is much more important than painting this King."

"I wonder if the king can give him a range!" An old man stood up tremblingly, and it was really difficult for the old man to come to Jicheng in person at such an old age, and he didn't know how to leave a chance for the young man.

"Everything is OK, as long as the scenery can be seen in Yan State, of course it is best to be related to food, fishing, and food, so that it can be seen at a glance!" Sima Ji said calmly, "If there is no problem, you can paint now. I also want to see the skills of all painters."

King Yan went straight to the subject, and the painters did not hide it, and they all picked up their pens to paint. Sima Ji did not leave, but sat upright and waited. After a while, he walked down and observed behind the painters along the way.

Staring at people from behind can bring a huge sense of oppression, and this feeling is absolutely not good. Many painters feel that they are back when they are students, and their teachers are staring at them behind their backs.

"Wait a minute, this fish should be drawn larger, so don't be too realistic. Isn't it normal for a big fish to grow bigger than a human?"

"This grain is a little taller, yes, it must be taller than a human, and the wheat ears are a little bigger. The grain in my Youzhou should be so long!"

"This plum is too small, it should be painted as big as a fist, which reflects the rich resources of my Youzhou."

"Is this a pig's head or a pig's zombie? It's too small, it must be so tall and the small house is so big. According to what I said, what other vegetables must grow to the height of a person's waist."

Sima Ji pointed and pointed at the backs of many painters, asking these painters to pay attention to the proportional issues. Whether it is fruits, vegetables, pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep, they painted them all over me, saying in my heart, "The sows are as good as elephants, and the nose is short. The whole society kills one, which is enough to eat for half a year."
