Chapter 199 sell a good price
This winter consumes huge amounts of Youzhou Pingzhou, especially Youzhou, which almost consumes the accumulation over the past few years. In this case, Youzhou is obviously not suitable for continuing to collect corvee this year, although the King of Yan hopes to do so.
Since this is the case, Youzhou cannot consume the people's energy, Jicheng still needs to be expanded and the Great Wall needs to be repaired, so we can only count on the Goguryeo people. After all, ten years ago, the Jin Dynasty was in the same relationship with the four Xianbei tribes, and robbery occurred from time to time. No one can guarantee that he would rest assured in the future. As a major frontier, this move is reasonable.
As for whether the King of Yan would be suspected by Luoyang for his own use because of the incorporation of Goguryeo for his own use. There is a possibility, but this possibility is very low. He just destroyed Goguryeo, and in a blink of an eye, the people of Goguryeo and the people of Goguryeo were together with him. Yuri could do this, but the King of Yan could not do it, and no one could believe it if he said it.
"As for handcuffs and shackles, it requires the governor to worry." Sima Ji couldn't help with this matter. He had been a specialist in salt and iron. He had always wanted to dig out the Tangshan iron ore, but before this did not mean that the Jin Dynasty lacked iron. The reason why he had been obsessed with Tangshan iron ore was mainly because the iron ore was in the ban, which was a place he could control.
The feeling that even though you know that the treasure is under the homestead, but you can't dig it out, is not something that ordinary people can understand.
Iron is never something missing, and it is not difficult to make handcuffs and shackles that the Goguryeo people carry.
Sima Ji will go to Luoyang in a few days. He doesn't like Luoyang very much. It's not that Luoyang is not charming but that it's too far away. But there is no way. He just went to war and returned to the capital. Isn't this rebellion clear?
He did it as soon as he said that the Youzhou army had not yet taken the Goguryeo people back, and the two giants in Youzhou had already assigned the project, and then jointly submitted a memorial, saying that the people's livelihood was in decline due to the difficulties of the Goguryeo Battle and needed to recuperate. Sima Ji also gave a general time to go to Luoyang so as not to cause rumors in the court.
This memorial was taken into his arms by Xu Meng, and he was about to send it to Luoyang after welcoming the return of Youzhou Army. Sima Ji didn't have to disturb Xu Meng's love for his army as his son. He had already won over what he should have won over and sent a bunch of maids to the Youzhou Army Generals and School as concubines. Anyway, the royal family has abundant resources and is increasing every year, so he can't even find out that a group of people was selected to send them to him.
However, this does not mean that the King of Yan gave these generals and schools a hat. The maids he gave had never been touched. The relationship with the Youzhou Army was not as good as anyone else. This was not fair to the intimate maids, and it was mainly because he really couldn't sleep.
When he entered Jicheng, he saw the gate of the Yan Prince's Mansion. He saw Zhang Da, Li Shan and other guards waiting here. When Zhang Da saw Liu Lin coming out, he respectfully stepped forward to salute. Sima Ji promoted many generals, but he did not allow his guard to enter the army. One reason was that he kept a low profile and planted his guards in Youzhou Army. The purpose would be too obvious. Another main reason was that Sima Ji wanted to experience these things around him and then entrust important tasks, and there would be arrangements at that time.
There have also been some changes in Jicheng. Sima Ji had already put the expansion of Jicheng on the agenda before going to war. Although there was no large-scale construction, some minor transformations were also made. Now with the addition of Goguryeo prisoners, Jicheng will definitely change this year. Strictly speaking, the original Jicheng, the Yanwang Mansion, played the role of an inner city, and the entire Jicheng was composed of houses next to the Yanwang Mansion, but the outer walls were protected.
"Your Highness has returned from victory, and the ladies have been waiting for a long time!" After Zhang Da gave his salute, he quickly introduced the situation in the mansion.
"Madams?" Sima Ji asked in a low voice, "You are not talking about the ladies, are you?" The lessons of the past are not far away. He came back to attend the funeral. Nan Zheng had seen the mental outlook of the ladies with his own eyes when he came back. He really didn't want to do it again.
Otherwise, I would go around Jicheng first and go in later. At least it was all my own efforts. Seeing the neat streets in the city, the scattered and scattered, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, if they were more shameless, the changes in Jicheng were at least my own efforts.
"It's the wife, Mrs. Yang, Mrs. Zhang, and Mrs. Ha." Li Shan did not see that the King of Yan was about to run away, so he directly named the group of the ladies who were not waiting for the former king.
Mrs. Ha Sima Ji nodded. As for Mrs. Zhang, she must have said that her personal maid Qiaoxi, whose real name is Zhang.
"Send these boxes behind you into the treasury and let Yang Xin count them later." Sima Ji pointed to the box behind and ordered that it contained all the proceeds from this battle, which were reasonable and legal. The soldiers of the army plundered the wealth of the Goguryeo people, and the King of Yan took these wealth into his own hands through transactions. However, the number of people being traded is not reasonable and legal. It can only be said that I, Dajin, do not prohibit selling the people by myself.
The warehouse is divided into grain and grass warehouse, utensil, arsenal, armor warehouse and money warehouse. The warehouse covers a wide area. In fact, it is also an isolated existence in the Yan Prince's Mansion. No guard can enter except when moving things inside.
When Yang Xin, Qiaoxi and Hamoni saw Sima Ji, a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes. If this man did not exist in the huge palace, they would always feel that something was missing. They would not feel this kind of mentality when Sima Ji was staying in the palace. Once they left, it would be like taking their hearts away.
But now there are other women present in public, and they cannot show it so clearly. Yang Xin came over step by step and dared to ask how the gains of this battle were gained?
"The 40 million copper coins I received were not calculated much!" Sima Ji said proudly, not hiding his shameless behavior of purging the army through the sale of people, but instead being ashamed but proud.
However, this kind of quick money will be rare in the future, and there is no suitable country for him to plunder. If you want to get rich quickly, you need to think of other ways in the future. Farming is definitely not possible. Food is of course very important for a prince who is preparing to participate in the Eight Kings Rebellion. However, relying on farming to accumulate wealth is to dream, unless you use the disaster year to scrape the land.
"Four thousand million yuan?" Yang Xin quickly covered her rosy little mouth. She didn't know that compared with Nanzheng, Goguryeo was a typical example of being poor as a dog. In fact, the treasures that were last stored in the warehouse were all wrapped in elephant leather, and no one knew how many of them were.
He was confused by the 40 million yuan figure. After a while, Yang Xin said, "Qiaoxi gave birth to a baby girl and was waiting for His Highness to come back and give her name."
"Just call Sima Yan. I've thought about it before I come back." Sima Ji's eyes fell on Qiaoxi's face, comforting, "Don't be sad, I didn't say anything just because I was a baby girl."
"It was Qiaoxi's stomach that was not good enough and did not bring his descendants to Your Highness." Sima Jiyi comforted her, Qiaoxi felt even more guilty, and her self-pity made people feel very distressed.
