Chapter 207 Civil Engineering Enthusiasts

It is not impossible for literati to keep warm together, but this can have more impact, but Sima Ji is not a literati. Shi Chong's move is nothing more than to win over Sima Ji. In the nine-rank Zhongzheng system, there is no only great talent, but also good at bragging. This is why empty talk is prevalent among the metaphysical community. Now it seems that someone is helping him build momentum.

However, this can only fool ordinary people. At least the royal family basically knows how much ink in the King of Yan’s belly.

In Jia Mi's group, Shi Chong plays more a role as an initiator and an investor, which is in line with Shi Chong's identity as a wealthy person. However, it is not limited to this. Shi Chong is not a sucker. Of course, the rich people's friends will not be too bad. Shi Chong does not need to support them, otherwise where will the face of the gentry be placed?

At present, Shi Chong’s most concerned thing is to establish Jingu Garden, choose places in Luoyang to build casinos, and build racetracks. It can be said that he is busy without touching the ground. In terms of making money, Shi Chong does not need to specifically seek scriptures from the King of Yan. He knows exactly how to do it and learns without a teacher.

"The King of Yan, this is where I see it. The water lingers through it, birds sing in the secluded village, and fish leaps on the lotus pond." Shi Chong stood halfway up the mountain, and the so-called climbing high and looking far away was like this. He was obviously very satisfied with commenting on this place.

"Yes, it's a wonderful place to indulge in mountains and rivers." If you talk about other topics such as poetry and songs, Sima Ji couldn't say anything, but if you talk about how to build a garden, the King of Yan, who built a large-scale construction, would definitely not take it as the best place.

The two who were in a similar scent commented on the place, where they wanted to lead the river, where they built gardens, where they dug soil to store water, and where they built pavilions and towers along the mountains and rivers. If most of the two were talking about business and forcibly looking for topics before, this time it was definitely because of their common hobbies and even felt a sense of mutual appreciation.

"The King of Yan has the eyesight. Here, it is a good place to go to Mang Mountain and Lingu Water." Shi Chong said in a deep voice, "What we are looking for is a place where we cultivate ourselves and nature. The capital is prosperous, but it lacks a kind of spiritual energy. Only the King of Yan can understand this!"

"I am in Youzhou, opening a canal and emitting a main canal, which is considered to be a deep understanding of this path. However, Youzhou is remote and is slightly less refined than the capital!" Sima Ji sighed and said, "The Yan Palace in Jicheng is still a little narrower, not so natural. The magical craftsmanship of nature cannot be achieved by human power!"

Sima Ji was not intentionally modest. Compared with this valley, the Yan Prince's Mansion is definitely not big. Building tall buildings on the mountain and water is not a thing. He could expand the manor with hot springs in Yanshan to see if he could compete with Shi Chong. When Sima Ji thought about it, he would curse himself, "It's a big deal, and he has money and no place to spend it?"

"Great Axe and Awesome? King Yan said it well!" Shi Chong nodded in agreement with himself, "It's just a miracle and Awesome and Awesome and Awesome... Your Highness, a few friends will come in a few days!"

"Oh? I want to know who it is if the general thinks it is!" Sima Ji asked with interest. If it was an ordinary person, Shi Chong had no reason to specifically propose it.

"That's it, Your Highness of the King of Yan will know then!" Shi Chong kept a secret at this time, and he was still in his heart waiting for Sima Ji to ask questions. Unfortunately, he didn't know that King of Yan was not a good believer, so he really didn't say a word or ask.

Shi Chong wanted to talk about this topic several times, but Sima Ji looked uninterested. After a few greetings, he suggested returning to Luoyang. Instead, Shi Chong was not good at speaking again, which made him feel uncomfortable.

As soon as he entered the mansion, the maid Xiaowan took out a letter and handed it to Sima Ji and said, "I just arrived today..."

"Longchuan?" Sima Ji saw the signature, which was the name of Funan Xindu and Liu Ye's letter. Although Youzhou and Funan were thousands of miles apart, the little girl was very serious about Nuoyan and wrote letters every month to keep in touch.

Whether he is in Youzhou or Pingzhou, the letters can always be taught to him. If he opens the letter Sima Ji's look at him at a glance, he originally thought it was internal affairs or Liu Ye's own learning progress, but this time it was not.

"It turned out to be a military and national event!" Sima Ji said to himself. The military and national event in his eyes must be related to war, and the fact is that it is far from the little girl complaining about trivial matters in life. It is the major event involving two countries, which are Funan and Zhenla.

Zhenla is a vassal state of Funan, located in the northern part of Funan, very close to the Nanyi Schoolmaster's Mansion in Ningzhou. During the Jin Dynasty, Zhenla was still a while away from being powerful and even defeated Funan as the host. In the eyes of later generations, both Funan and Zhenla belonged to the Khmer country, and naturally it was a part of Cambodia's history.

But later generations are later generations, reality is reality, and there are regional contradictions within a nation. Sima Ji could clearly understand this point when he saw the boundaries between the north and south gentry. He saw that the True La of Funan was all Khmers, so he might not think so.

This mentality is too easy to understand. Sima Ji definitely doesn't want his head to be chopped by the Hu people, but this does not mean that he likes his head to be chopped by the Han people. People in later generations can distinguish who is Hu people and who is Han people, but in his identity, these are all people who want to rebel and chop off their heads.

King Nanzheng of Yan suffered heavy damage to Funan. Although he also helped to eliminate the noble Yishang, the population reduction caused was real. Funan really needed some time to recover its vitality, and it would be a bit unhonest to be a vassal state.

At this time, Zhenla Kingdom remembered that it was also part of the Khmer people. On the surface, it was silent and began to recruit soldiers and horses secretly. It might not dare to do anything in a short period of time, but once the time is ripe, no one can guarantee that they will not be able to respect the king and expel the barbarians and drive away the Hu people in their eyes, namely the Jin Dynasty people.

For Liu Ye, he was the queen who was canonized by the Jin Dynasty. Once he had ulterior motives, the most unlucky one was himself. Therefore, in the letter, he said that he was also secretly preparing and even proposed to take action first.

After reading the letter several times in a row, Sima Ji could feel that in Liu Ye's letter, he still believed that Funan, whom he commanded, was stronger than Zhenla, but if Zhenla continues to gather other tribes, it will be a disaster sooner or later.

"So that's it! It's not so serious that the Nanzheng results failed? This little girl wouldn't play with me to keep a low profile, right?" Sima Ji thought about whether the queen, who was established in his own hand, would come to Cao's camp and be in the heart of Han? After thinking for a long time, I felt that it wouldn't be. If Liu Ye could think of this, she would be even more powerful than Lu Zhi, Wu Empress, and Jia Nanfeng. Moreover, women's perspectives on governance were different, and they would not be a big problem if they had limitations.

Since Liu Ye was sure that Liu Ye was reliable, Sima Ji began to write a reply. Since Fu Nan is still strong, Zhen La was just starting to be a little disobedient, so this matter is not difficult to solve. If you are strong, remember to be too hasty. The safest way is to be stable and let your opponent find no chance to intervene. Wei State is just the country of Shu State. Sima Yi became the final winner.

Of course, in the overall situation, Sima Ji did not want the Nanyi School Guard's Office to intervene. If Funan wanted to fight Zhenla, it would be better for them to decide the winner within them. It would be better for the Jin Dynasty to intervene. What the Jin Dynasty needs most now is stability.

In order to avoid the lessons of Marshal Chang Kaishen, Sima Ji only mentioned how to deal with Funan in the general trend, rather than to make the bad idea of ​​attacking first. "Military is internal affairs. Funan's main land is plains, and the king is on the riverside. Once Zhenla goes south to attack, Zhanzhou, which is separated by a river, will never sit idly by. With this foundation, Funan can develop with peace of mind. It is much easier to reclaim the plain than Zhenla. With the assistance of the Jin Dynasty, Funan itself has an advantage in population and food, and will not be at a disadvantage no matter what."

"The people are not panic when they have food in their hands. No matter what banner Zhenla is used for, it will not cause big trouble. Even if you want to attack Zhenla, the above preparations are still necessary. Don't fall into anxiety. Zhenla will never destroy Funan. Funan has time to develop but can destroy Zhenla." Sima Jifen wrote a quick pen to guide Liu Ye, and the little queen's heart needs to be comforted at present.

Before we knew it, the sky was getting darker. Outside Luoyang City, several carriages gradually approached Luoyang. A young man lifted the curtain and looked at the giant city that was getting closer and closer. He said with a fascination, "Brother, we have arrived at the capital. This is the place where talents in the world gather. It is more suitable for revenge than a small Langya."

One hand came over and pulled the curtain down, and a slightly rough voice rang out inside, "There is nothing to see. The so-called literati and poets are just some flashy people."

Not long after, the carriage slowly entered the city gate. After entering Luoyang, it stayed in front of the mansion of Shangshu Ling Wang Yan. After the notice, the brothers walked in!

Sima Ji also finished writing the reply, stretched his waist deeply, making an unknown and comfortable sound from his mouth, and sealing the paint. Isn’t that a big deal? As long as the Jin Dynasty survived the Eight Kings Rebellion, he would still go south in the future. The last southern expedition was just the first step.

If it really doesn't work, then marry him. Sima Ji did not discriminate too much about marriage. Anyway, the Han and Tang dynasties did not delay their reputation. If they were dissatisfied, they would not be able to marry anyone in any way. If they always pushed women out, they felt embarrassed. If they were strong, they could not marry a few more people? If they really didn't work, they wouldn't be able to pick up one in a thousand, so he wouldn't believe that they could not pick up a beautiful woman.

"I am tired, Xiaowan comes to my room tonight!" Sima Ji looked at the maid who followed him to Luoyang while eating. He felt a little hot and said in a pun, "Eat more, don't be tired at night."
