At that time, there was no waterway between the river and Huai River. Only from the river to the sea, Fuchai decided to build Hancheng on the Shugang, dig Hangou at the foot of Shugang, and open a waterway between the Jianghuai River. He led the Yangtze River to flow northward, and the canal flowed northward through Wuguang Lake and Luyang Lake, finally entering the Beishenyan, five miles northeast of Huai'an, today, from Sheyang Lake, into the North Shenyan, five miles northeast of Huai'an.

"By the way, Qingxuan is here in Luoyang this time, don't rush back." After knowing that Sima Ji wanted to go home, Sima Xu blurted out and made his debut, "You just said that this Eastern Expedition Queen was just rewarding some soldiers who went to the expedition, but it doesn't include you, right?"

"Yeah!" Sima Ji nodded moranically. What's the problem? He doesn't care about the imperial court's rewards.

"You are a prince and the governor of Pingzhou holds great power. In fact, the royal family like us has very limited rewards. The title of king itself is unrewardable, and there is no better reward than taking military power when leaving the town. Now you have it. Don't be proud and complacent. If you leave in Luoyang for a few days, many court officials will think that you are dissatisfied because the queen is not rewarded, or the queen wants to adjust you, you know that there are many such people in the court." Sima Xu spoke very seriously. After all, he brought Sima Ji out of Youzhou. Some things really need to be mentioned.

After going to Hetao, Sima Xu changed from General Annan to General Annan, and there was no major reward. Use his own example to tell Sima Ji that the royal family itself has a high starting point and that the reward is limited, you must keep calm.

"It seems that's the case!" Sima Ji thought about it carefully and had to admit that what the cheap uncle Wang said made sense. But the key is why he stayed behind?

"You can do hunting and fishing banquets, but if you really don't, you can go to the palace more often." Sima Xun saw Sima Ji disagreed and said in a tight tone, "As a royal family, you must be more cautious. Uncle Wang will never harm you."

"Ji has written it down!" Sima Ji spoke solemnly, and he had come. Now he regretted it. He kept walking out of the mansion to send the uncle away, and then he thought to himself with a sad face. Even if he stayed in Luoyang, he should find something to do.

Sima Su was completely understandable to him, and this suggestion was very consistent with the style of King Fan Yang. Three places, five capitals and eight armies, and Sima Su was guarded by Xuchang, within the five capitals. In addition to the Guanzhong Huainan, which corresponds to Wushu, and Luoyang, the capital of Luoyang, the capital of Yecheng Xuchang is also very important because it is an important town in the Wei State.

Sima Xu's skills are definitely enough to be able to guard Xuchang. Logically speaking, King Fan Yang should definitely belong to a decisive force during the Eight Kings Rebellion. But Sima Ji knew that his uncle was not among the Eight Kings, but when he turned on the chapter of the Eight Kings Rebellion, King Fan Yang appeared in various events, and his presence was terrifying.

This shows that Sima Xu is very good at playing. He is obviously more involved than some royal families ranked among the Eight Kings, but often disappears at critical moments. If it weren't for Sima Yue's existence, this uncle would be the best template for keeping a low profile.

As soon as Sima Ji compared it, he found that this uncle king was actually a powerful figure, but his skill points were relatively average. He was not as good as the King of Changsha in the army, and he was not as good as the King of Donghai, so he was always in an awkward position. How dare he be disobedient in this way? "Then find something for yourself and stay for a while."

Of course, Sima Ji hopes to farm in Youzhou soon, but the situation is stronger than that of others. Is there any way he can do it now?

After staying in the mansion for a few days, Sima Ji left the mansion and headed straight to the palace with a map in his hand. Sima Ji, who was about to find something to do, did find something to do. The King of Yan was best at building a large-scale construction and launching satellites.

After bowing to the three auxiliary ministers, Sima Ji took out his masterpiece without hesitation for several people to appreciate it, with a look of pride, just as he said that it was all painted by me. Are you scared?

Sima Ji's prediction was very accurate. Several auxiliary ministers were really frightened to see the lines drawn above. They all heard that the King of Yan liked to do the most was to build a large scale, but they didn't expect that they could do so much.

In addition to the so-called local canals, there is also the Yellow River water that is injected into the Huai River. There is also the Hangou. It is not the Hangou in Wu Kingdom, but the Hangou straight road dug by Chen Deng. It is equivalent to a canal double-track road.

The northern line is to lead Qinshui, reach Yuhe in the south, and connect to Youzhou in the north, and connect to the south, and to dig a new canal, allowing Luoyang to go directly to Yangzhou. This is not finished yet. There is also a line above it from Youzhou in the north to Jiankang in Yangzhou. It is almost the route of the Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou. It starts from Luoyang as the starting point to Youzhou in the north, and to Jiankang in the south, Youzhou Jicheng and Yangzhou Jiankang can also be connected. On this map, it looks like an equilateral triangle.

Luoyang, Jicheng and Jiankang are connected to each other, which are completely a combination of the Grand Canal of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and the Grand Canal of the Sui and Tang Dynasties in later generations. Just a glance, Zhang Hua felt dizzy in his head. How much does it take?

The several ministers of the regents didn't know how to describe their mood at this time. Are they grand? Of course, grand! It's also exciting to think about it. If a young minister saw it, he might immediately have to drink and chat with Sima Ji and imagine a bright future. But they are not. They know very well that the distance on the map seems not too far, how far it is to walk, let alone digging a canal.

Sima Ji threw out such things in front of several mature and polite ministers. Not to mention Zhang Hua, even Wang Rong was not confused at all. His mood was comparable to that of thousands of years later. Yuan Shikai saw a revolutionary pioneer drawing a Chinese railway network with a pen, and the painters were so lightly. If they were not all old ministers who had been going through decades of ups and downs in the officialdom, the nickname of King Yan Sima Dapao would definitely be indispensable.

You are not kidding me, it requires manpower and energy. Within two years, the southern expedition of Linyi, the northern expedition of Hetao, and the eastern expedition of Goguryeo. It seems that I am invincible in the Great Jin Dynasty. Now I still have to open the Grand Canal?

"Are the Secretary Ling? Shangshu Ling? Is the King stunned by my great ambitions? I also know that this is an extraordinary act!" Sima Ji said proudly, "Once it is successfully excavated, the trouble of separatism in the south can be solved in one fell swoop. Once there is war in the north, the army of each state can set off immediately. I believe that all the Dukes know that they are from generals and ministers, and the water route can be much faster than the land transfer."

"Oh!" Zhang Hua, Wang Rong, and Pei Fu all responded coldly, not moved by the bold words of the King of Yan at all. They thought to themselves, wouldn't it be good to have a good time to make trouble in your own country? Now they actually ran to Luoyang to make trouble?

"Is there any problem with this?" Sima Ji was very cold when he saw several old ministers, thinking that this was not scientific. My great Jin Dynasty was not the master of metaphysics, and he should not be resistant to the release of satellites.

But it also depends on what kind of satellite it is. Of course, it is OK to make the sky full of metaphysics, but it may not be certain to do it.

"The King of Yan has calculated that this requires the search for Ah Hong's labor force? Especially the northern line in your map, all of them have to be digging the river road. As for the route between Jicheng and Jiankang, it is a journey that lasts thousands of miles. It is not something you can do by drawing a line on the map!" Pei Fu put his eyes on the map again and smiled bitterly, "Now the three battles have just been completed, and the Jin Dynasty needs to rest and recuperate. There is not much grain reserve in each state, so how can you support such a large project?"

"This project requires not more than 100,000 labor force, at least millions of labor service. Over time, the whole world will be dragged to exhaustion, and the King of Yan must be cautious." Wang Rong also rarely put away the greedy and stingy man. At this time, he really looked like a loyal minister. "Now the household registration in the court is less than 40% of the previous Han Dynasty, how can we start a major project?"

"Although the army suffered little loss in the three wars, just take His Highness's fiefdom as an example, Youzhou Governor Xu Meng has submitted a memorial. The grain reserved in Youzhou is only enough for this year, and Youzhou still needs to be recuperated. The grain used in the Northern Expedition to Hetao needs to be allocated from Huainan, and it is not suitable for starting a major project now!" Zhang Hua said in embarrassment, "What else does Your Highness say?"

"Where are the prisoners in the Battle of Hetao? We don't need to collect labor service ourselves!" Sima Ji thought, "It's not as exaggerated as these old men said, "Corre labor service delays production, and the defeated ones are not allowed to use warfare?" Are you just using the prisoners of Funan and Linyi now?

"King of Yan, prisoners also need to eat! If they don't eat, they will starve to death. It has nothing to do with whether to use prisoners or farmers and tenants." Pei Yun pointed out the problem. "Prisoners who dig canals need to eat. In order to prevent the prisoners from rebelling, they still need to use 30,000 troops to guard these prisoners. We once estimated that it was not considered a military supervisor, but now at most can support 200,000 people to dig the canal. After the Battle of Hetao, the labor required was enough."

That is, the Goguryeo people captured by this king need to digest themselves temporarily? No wonder when I submitted a memorial to Youzhou, the court agreed so quickly that Xu Meng could build the Great Wall in Youzhou first. It turned out that I had eaten too much and had indigestion.

"It's really a bit inappropriate when you look at this picture?" Sima Ji looked at the faces of several people and admitted that he was embarrassed to admit his mistake.

"No, this project is very grand and needs to be implemented. Once it is done, as Your Highness said, communication between the north and the south and stabilize the world is just not suitable now." Zhang Hua looked at Wang Rong beside him, and Pei Fu said with a glance, "After communicating with Yangzhou, you can continue to use the prisoners obtained from these 200,000 wars to dig other canals. But you can't act too hasty, it will take at least ten years!"

"We are not opposing it, but we just need to extend the time." Wang Rong gently stroked his beard and thought for a while, "There is priority. If it is done at the same time, it is impossible, and it is OK to do it bit by bit."

"Then I will use this picture to ask the emperor's sister-in-law?" Seeing that several ministers of the regent did not object, Sima Ji directly took the map to the next target of persuasion.
Chapter completed!
