Chapter 204: Duke of Lu Jia Mi

"I understand!" Sima Ji shook his arm and said that he heard it. Isn't it just that there are policies above and countermeasures below?

"A few ministers are old, Qingxuan should not scare them!" Jia Nanfeng looked at the picture while listening to Sima Ji's words with Zhang Hua and others just now, putting down the map and holding back his smile, "Fortunately, you are struggling in the ban. If you are in the capital to assist in the government, the emperor's sister-in-law will really open her eyes when she sleeps."

Seeing this map, Jia Nanfeng couldn't tell what he felt, and he might still be a little happy. What was happy was that this prince who went on two expeditions was still as rough as ever in terms of operation. He was not like a great talent for governors. Sima Ji was born in a royal family and did not have a talent for governors, in her eyes, it was a great thing.

"It's not that I can't do it, just as Wang Rong said, it can always be done over the years, but Qingxuan must be patient!" After reading it, Jia Nanfeng still appeased Sima Ji and also mentioned the difficulties of the court.

Although the project volume of the Grand Canal of the Sui and Tang Dynasties and the Grand Canal of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal was larger than the project volume planned by Emperor Yang of Sui. There is one thing that is, Emperor Yang of Sui recruited the people under his rule, and the Jin Dynasty is currently in charge of prisoners of war. As long as these prisoners of war do not starve to death, the integrity of the gentry will definitely use them until the day they die.

In other words, the labor force in the hands of the Jin Dynasty was facing an indefinite siege. I, the Great Jin Dynasty, was not in a hurry at all. If I could do it in ten years, I could be postponed for twenty years. If I didn’t have twenty years, I could be postponed until the day these prisoners of war were strangled to death.

These prisoners of war were not from the Jin Dynasty, and Luoyang did not expect them to prosper. The corvee labor slaughtered by Emperor Yang of Sui was a real person. Once they had been digging the canal for too long and could not return to their hometown to farm, the losses caused would be borne by the Sui Dynasty. Once they were exhausted to death while digging the canal, each exhausted to death means that a family and family were destroyed.

As for the prisoners of war captured by the Jin army after the two battles of Linyi in the northern expedition of Hetao, their families had been destroyed once. Even if they were really exhausted when they opened the canal, they would still die alone, which would not cause social instability in the Jin Dynasty.

These are all Sima Ji's summary, but he could hear that Jia Nanfeng actually meant this. It was precisely because the prisoners of war were in hand, not the corvee labor force that Jia Nanfeng did not directly reject the seemingly impossible proposal of the King of Yan. The meaning inside and outside was just that he must be righteous.

"When you were in Goguryeo, the prisoners who dug canals had actually rioted once, and the army followed the army to suppress it. The army killed more than 3,000 people." Jia Nanfeng said to Sima Ji, "The emperor has issued an order to investigate the officers of the army. He has not had a second time so far, and it has been effective."

"Your Majesty and the Queen are wise, but Ji's proposal is a bit whimsical." Sima Ji immediately belittled himself and used his stupidity to highlight the wisdom of the actual controller of the Jin Dynasty.

"After all, the country is different from the whole world. It will always be better if you have experienced it for a few years. However, the King of Yan is more suitable for serving in the army!" Jia Nanfeng pretended to help Sima Ji plan his future route. She didn't need a royal family to assist in the administration.

When the court meeting was held, Sima Jizhen below learned about Jia Nanfeng's methods. He originally thought that he would not be given to the court for public discussion, which might cause controversy. But Jia Nanfeng knew very well what the court officials looked like and did not delay his own interests. These court officials would never object.

Sima Ji did not see through this, but Jia Nanfeng had seen through this long ago and adopted a high attitude of picking up and letting it go. The imperial edict was so excited that it was a long-term plan. Then, the topic changed and it said that this was a long-term plan, and even said that it might take two generations of emperors to complete it, but it must be completed.

After saying this, the court officials praised it as endlessly as the surging rivers. The incidents of Linyi, Hetao, and Goguryeo in the south were turned out one by one, indicating that the great Jin Dynasty had just been founded for 30 years, and the destruction of Shu and Wu, and the expansion of territory did not allow the previous dynasty. It even made a little progress, and the four barbarians were subdued.

"This cannot be said to be wrong. If there was no rebellion of the Eight Kings!" Sima Ji looked at his eyes and said, and was in a flattery. If he talked about the territory alone, the Jin Dynasty may not be as good as Emperor Wu of Han, but it was easy to kill the Eastern Han Dynasty in seconds. Now, not only did the Eastern Han Dynasty recover all its territory, but there was also an additional prefecture.

If this could last for about a hundred years, even if it collapsed in the end, the evaluation would not be too low. Of course, the court officials in the hall did not know what happened a few years later. Now everyone has a good foundation for flattery. Moreover, their household registration is far inferior to the Han Dynasty, so they have made such achievements. They are really the saint ruler.

Otherwise, how could Jia Nanfeng destroy two opponents in a row? She really saw these gentry so thoroughly. Just discuss with a few ministers with real talents and knowledge. After discussing, she notify the court officials that the well water will not violate the river.

It seems to be a great achievement, but in fact nothing has been born, because using prisoners to open the canal has been in progress, and now it is just announcing the subsequent use, which will happen a few years later.

"King Yan, long time no see!" After going to court, Sima Ji walked out, but saw Shi Chong at a glance. Wasn't he served as the governor of Jingzhou? Is this Jin Dynasty so casual? Can you return to Luoyang at any time?

"Shi Chong, aren't you taking office as the governor of Jingzhou? Why are you back?" Sima Ji stopped and asked in surprise.

When Shi Chong heard this, the embarrassment flashed and he immediately returned to normal. He coughed lightly, "Shi Chong no longer served as the governor of Jingzhou because he was drinking and misleading. He has now returned to the capital."

Sima Ji nodded. Did he be the governor of Jingzhou and was found because of a robbery? Of course, Sima Ji was just guessing this, but seeing Shi Chong's embarrassment, that's what happened.

Seeing Sima Ji's suspicious look, Shi Chong became even more embarrassed. He really came back because of the incident. In order to avoid the King of Yan asking in depth, he asked directly with a mysterious look, "King Yan, did you propose the Grand Canal discussed in the court?"

Sima Ji stared at Shi Chong and asked, "How did you know?" In just two days, he didn't even tell Sima Su, King Fan Yang. Only a few ministers and queens knew about it. How could Shi Chong know?
