Chapter 202 Connecting to Jianghuai
"Ji knew that this battle was done to do his best, and I thought the court would not blame him, but it seemed that he was lucky." Sima Ji sighed and said, "This battle of Youping and the other states did consume a lot of money, and it was indeed Ji's responsibility. The emperor's sister-in-law was already very generous in saying this. As for some vassal kings, Ji was helpless. Who made him not successful this time?"
Even if the disaster is invaded, Sima Ji will cooperate with Jia Nanfeng's words and say that he has fallen into the trap.
The royal family can no longer have a character with a word of contentment, and now is not the time. If it really appears, it is not the opponent of Jia Nanfeng. Jia Nanfeng's fatal flaw is still on the prince. Prince Sima Yu only needs to be safe for one day. Although all of our Sima family are geniuses, every vassal king has the confidence to take charge of the world, he must also be honest.
If Jia Nanfeng could allow Sima Yu to succeed in the throne, the biggest source of the Eight Kings Rebellion would disappear. It might be unstable in the future, but at most it would be like King Runan and King Chu, which would not have a big impact. At best, it would be a political struggle and there would be no need to meet on the battlefield. Unfortunately, this is unlikely.
Seeing Sima Ji's statement to the Dongyin of Chaoshui, Jia Nanfeng was very satisfied and instead discussed some other things, "The refugees in Guanzhong have risen, and I don't know what to pacify."
"The disease of scabies is not worthy of too much attention." Sima Ji, like most of the gentry in the Jin Dynasty, made a statement on this matter with an indifferent attitude. Isn't there still Sima Jian, the King of Qin,? Is this a matter?
In general, Jia Nanfeng was quite satisfied with Sima Ji's response. Even if it took a long time, it would be a victory in the end, right? As for the title of the soldiers participating in the war, you can reward them, but it should not be too much. He had an attitude of aggrieving you in his words, and then Sima Ji was left the palace.
"Whether it is the queen or the royal family, there are so many dramas!" Sima Ji, who had just returned to Yong'an, welcomed the two guests of King Hejian and King Fan Yang, who could only force himself to continue to be humble and imprison him.
Sima Xu asked as soon as he sat down, "It has been a long time since Qingxuan's eastward expedition to Goguryeo. That bitter and cold place should be very painful. I believe the queen should be very rewarded when returning to the eastward expedition."
"I haven't seen each other for a long time!" Sima Ji nodded. He didn't say anything about the reward, but he didn't care. He had already earned enough money after destroying Goguryeo. In his opinion, whether to reward or not to reward in Luoyang has become a trivial matter.
Sima Ji might as well go back to Youzhou to farm. At least within his own ban, he could also be said to be a word of nothing. There were so many things here. If the royal family had to return to the war, they had to return to Luoyang to report their lives, Sima Ji didn't want to come. This time, a month passed. How could the King of Yan have time to waste time on the road?
After chatting, Sima Ji understood that the two royal princes came again and again. Since this was the case, he knew that everything was said and told the other party that he had not received any rewards for his best efforts and was preparing to set off to return to Youzhou soon. He had absolutely no intention of making trouble in Luoyang, so he felt a little bit of the sincerity of the other party.
"The King of Qin, a refugee in Guanzhong, has been controlled, and the leader has been killed, which is not a big deal." When King Hejian heard Sima Ji mention the matter in Guanzhong, he explained, "The Queen is also worried too much, just some refugees."
After chatting for a while, King Hejian stood up and said goodbye, which surprised Sima Ji. He originally thought he was coming to test. Testing was to test, but it was really a problem for the other party to leave in a hurry.
"The King of Taiyuan Sima Hong is seriously ill. King Hejian and he are brothers. I have always been going to see you in my spare time recently!" Sima Xu explained, "You also know that the title of King Taiyuan is King Hejian, and the relationship between the two families is very close."
"It's a pity that there are only two of us in Youzhou. Uncle Wang is okay, so Ji can only fish in Youzhou to relieve boredom." When Sima Ji heard that there was such a relationship, he smiled and said, "Unlike Uncle Wang, Ji still likes to stay at home and has no interest in leaving the town!" Only he can tell such earth-shaking lies. Is the governor Pingzhou not considered the town?
However, in the eyes of many royal families, it may not be counted. The specific matter of Pingzhou is the responsibility of the Dongyi School Guard. If it weren't for Sima Ji's Eastern Expedition, no one would have remembered that the King of Yan and the governor of Pingzhou would have the right to be the governor of Pingzhou.
"The joy of the pastoral world has the freedom and freedom of the pastoral world, not to mention that Qingxuan is not old, so there is no need to worry about this." Sima Xu had a wrong idea, and thought Sima Ji was anxious, so he said that he wanted to pursue progress.
"By the way, I don't know how the canal was dug? Is the problem of transporting grain in Luoyang solved?" Sima Ji slapped his head and almost forgot about this matter. What was the purpose of killing one's life and death? How could he forget this matter?
The Yellow River Basin is the birthplace of civilization. Its middle and lower reaches of the Central Plains is an area with developed economy, culture, science and prosperity, and is also the densest population. The flow of the Yellow River from west to east is convenient for east-west connection, but is not convenient for north-south connection. There are many rich places north of the Yellow River, and the southeast coast south of the Yellow River is a place with rich resources, but it has not been developed for a long time.
Isn’t the grand canal just to solve this problem? The grand canal is of course useful, so how can it be useless for development in Jiangnan? At least after the worst result occurs, the south can still retain half of the country.
Judging from the overall trend and final results of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the South was indeed on the weak side. Although there were also many times when the Southern Dynasties were strong, there were too few times when the Northern Dynasties were strong. Although the Eastern Jin Dynasty always failed because of the mutual restraint between the North and South gentry, the Northern Dynasties were not stable.
The transportation of large amounts of food and grass required by military operations was dominant in water transportation. It was undoubtedly necessary to communicate north-south water transportation and digging canals for military operations.
"Oh, this matter! The court has already talked about it. After connecting Huainan, we have to continue digging south to connect the river." Sima Xu said directly without thinking, "It is almost the same as the old land of Wu. The section connecting the river has not begun yet. The chapter of Zhongshu made them know more clearly about this."
Sima Ji nodded while listening to Sima Xu's remarks. It seemed that he had finally had a positive impact in the Jin Dynasty. Although this positive impact was not great, as long as there was time, it would definitely become bigger and bigger in the future.
