Chapter 161 Familiar taste

"If it works, I will make a law for me now. Don't let people arrive in Youzhou and then, it's not like this, and then run away!" Sima Ji said with a faint smile on his face, "The counties and counties belonging to the country of fence must have a clearance document when going out. The whole family is not allowed to move without permission. Those who leave the country of fence without authorization will be exiled to Pingzhou. If there are many household registrations in the county where the county magistrate is located, they will be implicated. Now let the governor's office issue an announcement, saying that among the prisoners who have just been killed, there are those who have violated this law. I have already warned me first. If anyone commits it again, you will deal with it?"

Sima Ji's gloomy gaze made Yan Yan shudder, and he quickly lowered his head and repeated, "Your Highness is aware of thousands of miles, and Yan Yan admires it. In this way, the household registration of the country will increase greatly, and Yan will get better and better."

"If I listen to my words, it is the obedient people of the Great Jin Dynasty. Those who are disobedient are the enemies of the Great Jin Dynasty. If you don't accept it, you can rebel. You don't even have the courage to take your head out to gamble, so you just stay honestly. Are there any kings, princes, generals and ministers? Well, the people have the power to rebel, and the court has the right to suppress it, which is very fair! I really want to see how much combat power the army in the three places, five cities and eight armies has!"

Sima Ji looked through the ink paintings one by one, and said with a whisper. The paintings were pretty good. He picked out some pictures with great visual impact. "Give me a large number of copies. Bring them with me when the royal caravan goes out. Remember, Sizhou cannot go to the capital, and Jizhou cannot go to it. They are all vassal states. You can go to the place outside the kings. It is best to go to Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Yanzhou with a large population. The royal caravan should not be deliberately modest, and it is better to blow it."

The King of Yan wanted to go north, but the foundation of Liaoxi County and even Pingzhou was relatively average, so it needed a population. It could not be too popular. The Goguryeo people were not blind, so they could only use this roundabout tactic to try whether it was effective.

It doesn't matter if he fails, he can think of other ways. Having said that, Sima Ji is not a deception. Youzhou is indeed a vast land and sparsely populated, so of course it can absorb a lot of people. However, to meet the King of Yan's personality of being very fond of merit, corvee is definitely indispensable. This is also good, and you can live a more fulfilling life if you are tired.

As for the lack of population, it goes back to the fact that the Gongsun clan in Liaodong split the land and became independent. At that time, the commander of the Wei army was Sima Yi. After conquering Liaodong, Sima Yi did something ordinary during the Three Kingdoms period, slaughtering the city! He killed ordinary people over fifteen years old in the city who met certain standards, a total of more than 7,000 people. The dead bodies were piled up to form Jingguan.

The people killed more than 7,000 people, and for the Shaohan Group of Gongsun Yuan's regime, all the families and children of civil servants and generals, they killed more than 2,000 people in total. In this way, Sima Yi ordered the massacre of the city and killed a total of 10,000 people. Before this, the Wei army defeated most of the Gongsun family's troops after three field battles. With the previous capture, there were still 40,000 households left in the entire Liaodong.

However, this 40,000 households lacked the number of strong men. The most suitable labor force among the household registration was in the Gongsun army, and it was basically gone after the war. After the Gongsun family was destroyed, Sima Yi returned to the court.

According to Cao Cao's standards, Sima Yi was very kind and did not do anything to halve the population of Xuzhou next time. What's more, Cao Cao's battle in Xuzhou was just his first try.

Emperor Xuan defeated Liaodong in a battle, which caused the current embarrassment of the King of Yan, and could only use tricks to deceive people everywhere.

These painters who were not called have recently left copying in the Yan King's Mansion to review the basic skills. They did not complain about these painters. Isn't Yan King pleasing enough? Sima Ji has nothing but black people, and the rest of them are all. The fat and thin swallows, the beakers and the beakers can relieve fatigue.

At this time, the King of Yan remembered some of the tasks he had assigned before going to the war, such as the progress of the city. He did not remember it now, but the matter was prioritized and scammering people was a very slow thing to do, so he had to do it first. The progress of other things was left there, and it was useless to be anxious, so he didn't need to urge him all the time.

After a year of going out to fight, the shipping routes in Lushun and Tianjin had already found a way out, but the scale was relatively small. Because for the people of Youzhou, this is still a new thing.

"Winter is coming, and it is already the slack time for farming." Sima Ji fiddled with two jade health balls with one hand, constantly rotating, and slowly opened his mouth like a clay sculpture. "I, Nanzheng, deeply realized the importance of sea transportation. There is only one road between Pingzhou and Youzhou. Although it is currently under the control of my Great Jin Dynasty, it is extremely easy to be cut off. For this reason, I really don't want to eat and eat. What are the good strategies for the chief clerk?"

"Your Highness is in charge of Pingzhou. If something happens to Pingzhou, your Highness will inevitably be scolded by the court. The lord of the emperor is humiliated and his ministers die. As the chief clerk, Feng Ji is of course very ashamed! This matter must be resolved." Feng Ji lowered his head and bowed his body. "It is the time for farming. The tenants and farmers of the country have rested. The ministers suggest that the corvee labor be collected and divided into two parts, waiting on the beach, and logging wood upstream, pulling cattle and horses out of the logging area and pushing it into the river. The corve labor in the downstream is set up to intercept it, piled up the wood on the beach, peeled and cut off, and waited for the wood to air dry next spring, and then build a ship."

"Huh?" Sima Ji sat quietly in place when he heard this, and had not spoken for a long time. Time passed by minute by minute. It was not until Feng Ji was up and down in his heart that he spoke in an inquiring tone, "I have just returned from Zhanzhou. Is it a bit reluctant to charge labor service if I am so anxious?"

"Your Highness, how can you feel a little forced because of the kindness of a woman?" Feng Ji's voice at last reached the reply letter immediately raised eight degrees and said passionately, "The people of the country are the subjects of His Highness, and they should share their worries. Pingzhou is the barrier of Youzhou. If Pingzhou does not protect Youzhou from being unstable, it will not last long. It is a matter of forced labor. The ministers know that Your Highness loves the people as their sons, but the ministers forgive him for not agreeing with this matter. It is just to enlist some labor service. The ministers expect that the people of the country will understand Your Highness's painstaking efforts!"

With Feng Ji's tone, Sima Ji nodded constantly. The chief clerk Feng Ji grew a lot. He slowly stood up and walked past him suddenly stopped and whispered, "Feng Ji, you are very good, you have grown a little."

Feng Ji tightened his whole body and breathed a lot carefully. Then he heard Sima Ji say, "I don't want to collect labor service, I'm just for the overall situation. Is there anyone who sacrifices for the country, right?"

"Yes, yes, what Your Highness said is extremely true!" Feng Ji nodded quickly and said, "Your Highness has no choice but to..."

"If you had this understanding, I would have taken you to the south to fight. Now, like many imperial guards, you may have been granted a marquis!" Sima Ji sighed sadly and said, "Go, the more corvee labor, the faster the work is completed, and you can rest. By the way, you should see what Yan Yan gave you. If you pay enough copper coins for 100 cents, you can exempt you from this corvee labor."

"Your Highness is kind!" Feng Ji bowed deeply and thanked him, and then walked out quickly under the gaze of the King of Yan, and he wanted to go.

"Forget it, isn't there any next corvee service?" Well! Sima Ji touched his chin, but in fact he was just a disguised tax increase. The household registration that could take out this money should be due to the good weather in Youzhou in the past two years. This is not good, and it is easy to cause a gap between the rich and the poor, and may also breed theft and robbery. It is better to let the King of Yan keep it on his behalf.

What a familiar sound of gongs. As the county magistrates of each county appeared with the chief and deputy security chiefs, the people of Yan State knew that the King of Yan, who loved the people as much as his son, was back, was still a familiar recipe or a familiar taste.

"The King of Yan appreciates the suffering of the people. This time, as long as you take out a hundred-cent copper coins, winter corvee will be exempted. You must think about it carefully!" The chief surveillance shouted, "Of course, if you are willing to give up your strength, come and report quickly and prepare your winter clothes. You will be in the mountains. The chief clerk is urging you tightly."

"You ask, you can't find out that the world is deliberately avoiding the labor service during the busy farming season. Our King of Yan is enough to take care of you. In the battle of the Southern Expedition, dozens of countries were destroyed and millions of corpses were buried. Who in the world knows the reputation of the King of Yan?" Another custodian added next to him, "If you do the labor service early, come back early. If you don't understand this, you are really fooling people."

Similar things are happening in all counties and villages at the same time. Most farmers and tenants still packed their luggage and prepared to leave with the county magistrate. Of course, many people handed over copper coins for various reasons.

These corvee labor gathered and spread into two groups, one was on the beach, and the other was pulling cattle and horses into the mountains to log wood. After logging, dragging it out with cattle and horses and pushing it into the river, and people naturally intercepted it downstream. Here we can see the benefits of digging the canal earlier, which facilitates traffic and is worth it.

It’s not that the King of Yan had any hobbies for corvee labor. This was the case in the entire Jin Dynasty. Corve service was from the age of sixteen to the age of sixty-five. His levy was protected by the laws of the Great Jin Dynasty, which was absolutely legal. Moreover, every strong man had to perform corvee labor for twenty days every year, and he did not collect all of them. It was not Sima Jiming’s tax collection. The Han Dynasty had stipulated that one month exemption of corvee labor would require two thousand to be paid, and the King of Yan only collected 100, which was already higher than that time. I don’t know where I went.

"After your order, all the people of the country were convinced. Now the conquest has been completed." Feng Ji, the chief clerk, said very hard, "I believe that the wood needed can be prepared in less than a month."

Everyone was convinced? Who was this fooling? Sima Ji rolled his eyes and thought for a while, "Are there anyone who harmed himself to avoid labor service, such as cutting his fingers or breaking his arm?"
