The 213th Zhang Youzhou Dajian
At least from the performance of Tiraga, the spirit poisonous chicken soup of King Yan was quite successful. Otherwise, when it entered the period of imperialism, all industries pursued monopoly. Of course, the monopoly pursued by Tiraga would never happen. Sima Ji was just fooling him and drawing a big pie that would never reach.
Business matters are inherently profitable, and this industry itself is a risky thing. It is not fair to have always fetch the people of Jin Dynasty, and this is not in line with Hu Han’s original intention of equality, right?
"If possible, get in touch with the Qin Dynasty more." Sima Ji was still obsessed with Rome. There was no civilization around the Jin Dynasty. Except for the Jin Dynasty itself, they all hoped that the Jin Dynasty would develop something and then import it to digest it. The most recent one was South Asia, Brahmanism. Sima Ji wanted to learn something, but he was afraid that he would not learn the other party's ideas.
"The villain has always been trying to find ways to expand his business path. Every time he sends people to Western countries, he will specially draw maps and mark cities. After a certain degree of accumulation, he will bring them over to His Highness." Tiraga patted his chest and said that everything was placed on him. He didn't know why Sima Ji was always interested in foreign countries, which was completely different from the gentry of the Great Jin Dynasty.
"Very good, I can use it in the future!" Sima Ji smiled with satisfaction. He had already made up his mind not to play with nomads all his life, and sooner or later he would have to see the style of high-end players.
The independent development of civilization depends on how to look at it. Any development is a double-edged sword. Ancient Egypt could establish a pyramid in that era, and it could definitely be called invincible in the world. In the eyes of the Egyptians, any civilization in that era was a small shrimp. But what about this? Egypt entered the cycle of dynasty replacement until civilizations in other regions caught up. Once this cycle began, it would be three thousand years, one thousand years more than the dynasty replacement in China.
The dynasty replacement of ancient Egypt was a pioneer of China and had already told China what the final outcome of this dynasty cycle model was. In the end, Egypt was conquered by Rome, which was the expansion of the great British and French colonial empires of that era.
In Sima Ji's eyes, Dajin lacked a lot of things. The simplest ones were not found. He could not find apples with good taste. Apples in this era tasted similar to plums. Not to mention the crisp taste, he could not find them at all.
If the King of Yan had perfect martial arts and was omnipotent, of course he would not need to learn from others, but the key was that he was not. He didn't even know how to do soap that had been common in Rome, and he had to count on the gifts of nature every time he shampooed his hair.
"The villain has always remembered His Highness's instructions, which are nothing more than food, clothing, housing and transportation, and look at the things related to the lives of the locals." Tiraga had a very enlightened consciousness of the pioneering and adventure captain. After a few years, he had already understood that the King of Yan did not care about gold, silver and treasures, but also cared about how people in other countries lived.
"Be careful on the road, but you don't have to do it yourself! At least within the scope of my Grand Jin Dynasty, you shouldn't have any problems!" Sima Ji knew that Tiraga was going home again, so he persuaded him.
"The villain is used to it. Take care of your highness!" Seeing that it was getting late, Tiraga stood up and said goodbye.
"Yeah!" Sima Ji nodded reservedly. It was time for him to return to Youzhou. In the short term, the King of Yan would definitely not come if he had nothing to do. He did not find any place to lead his troops to fight. He happened to hide in the feudal country and farm well.
Having been in Luoyang for more than two months, Yang Xin might have thought that Sima Ji was angered by the queen and was imprisoned. This was all a matter of certainty, so she still had to hurry on her way. Before that, the King of Yan first submitted a memorial to return to the country and received the agreement without any accident. If it weren't for the fact that the entire world's military towns were not divided enough, the queen would have no royal family in Luoyang. Even if the vassal king expressed his willingness to cooperate, Jia Nanfeng was still very alert to the royal family. This is a matter of principle.
Any vassal king who wanted to return to the fiefdom was just right for Jia Nanfeng and had no reason to disagree. In this way, the King of Yan embarked on a journey home with a bunch of freshly released concubines.
Youzhou has been very lively since the arrival of spring. At this time, the governor Xu Meng discovered that the King of Yan always planned some projects, but there was nothing wrong with it, at least the changes were visible to the naked eye.
At this moment, Sima Ji came back, and the expanded outer city began to tamp the foundation. Before leaving, Sima Ji thought about the choice of rammed earth and bricks and stones for a long time, but in the end he chose to use rammed earth to build the city wall of the outer city, and the original Jicheng city wall was replaced by bricks and stones. With sufficient labor, the expansion of Jicheng was very smooth.
"It's a pity that God won't give me a construction system, otherwise I can remember what I think of every year and run around in the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty?" Sima Ji looked at the progress of Jicheng and understood that at least before winter came, he could not return to the royal palace to live. He also thought about eating, sleeping and pushing girls in the royal palace, and everything was left to the system's life. Unfortunately, God was too stingy and did not give him the opportunity to be a human-shaped self-propelled cannon.
"Your Highness is still satisfied?" Feng Ji, the chief clerk, saw Sima Ji looking at the prisoner army in the distance, and thought that the King of Yan understood the people's conditions, but he didn't know that the King of Yan was having a good day of eating, sleeping and hanging in his mouth. He felt guilty in his heart. His life is too hard now.
"Ah? Very good!" Sima Ji, who was interrupted, came to his senses, looked at the increasingly superior Feng State minister, and asked, "Before the beginning of winter, I will see a new Jicheng, and the inner and outer cities must be prepared. By the way, how is the progress of the Great Wall repair?"
"Is this? I don't know. Recently, my subordinates have been paying attention to the progress of the city wall." Feng Ji lowered his head and reported, "The governor is doing the repair of the Great Wall, and the minister hasn't seen it for a long time."
"Okay, I will go and see it myself when I rest for two days!" Sima Ji was not sad or happy, but he was still very concerned about the repair of the Great Wall. After all, the safety of the old nest is always the first priority in his heart.
A military project such a large size in the Great Wall is definitely not a good idea. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, both Qi and Chu were very powerful at that time, but Qi had the privilege of ordering the princes to attack other vassal states on behalf of the emperor. When Qi led several other vassal states to attack Chu, when he arrived at the Chu situation, he saw that the Great Wall of Chu was tall and strong, and he did not dare to fight.
Most dynasties wanted to build the Great Wall. After all, there were few dynasties like the Qing Dynasty that were so skillful in differentiation, religion, and politics. Other dynasties that did not build the Great Wall basically adopted a system that was prone to civil strife, military towns! When my family of the Great Jin Dynasty came out of the town, there were a row of Jiedu in the north of my Tang Dynasty, they did not repair the Great Wall very much.
When other dynasties did not pay attention to the Great Wall, it depends on who the emperor was. Kangxi fought in Zhungeer three times and Zhu Di fought in Mongolia five times. These two emperors liked wars very much. But during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there was an emperor who preferred wars. He was Emperor Taiwu Tuoba Tao. Tuoba Tao almost did three things in his life, one thing was to destroy Buddhism, one was to trust the Legalists, and the other was to fight the Northern Expedition. In twenty-five years, the Northern Expedition thirteen times, and finally helped the Turks beat Rouran into a weak chicken.
However, after the emperor who could fight like this, the central dynasty still had to build the Great Wall. However, the Great Wall had limited effect on unifying the power of nomadic people and did not meet the expectations of the repairers when repairing it.
But fortunately, I, the Great Jin Dynasty, faced the Six Xianbei people, not a unified nomadic force. The role of the Great Wall was still very significant. When Sima Ji entered Yanshan, he saw many Youzhou Army generals coming to say hello.
"Xu Qing, the left lieutenant of Youzhou Army, once married him to the maid in the royal palace." Yang Xin, who also followed him, immediately reminded softly when she saw the visitor, "The maid's name is Yue'er?"
Sima Ji knew it as soon as he heard it, signaling that there was no need to be too polite and then asked, "Xu Qing has been married for a year, right? I don't know how Yue'er lives with you? No matter what, he was from the Yan Palace. For me, these maids are all born in innocent families, so you must treat them well. This king is Yue'er's mother's family!"
"Your Highness, Yue'er is very good. We are very loving after marriage. How dare Xu Qing treat her? Now Yue'er is pregnant. The wife of the prince's mansion rewarded her some time ago." Xu Qing hurriedly said that she didn't dare. Yan State also had lieutenants, but although the lieutenant and lieutenant had the same name, their ranks were different. Xu Qing, the left lieutenant of the Youzhou Army, belongs to the ninth rank in the ninth rank system. Is this number of people? Nominally, there are 110,000 people in the country, and in fact he doesn't know how many of them are.
"You already have descendants, that's a great congratulations!" Sima Ji was also very happy and gave a few more instructions, and then asked, "I don't know how long it will take to repair the Great Wall now."
"I heard from the people of the governor's mansion that if it is repaired with bricks and stones, it may take two years, which may not be enough!" Xu Qing told all the things he knew, and did not dare to hide it at all.
Sima Ji nodded. This project is indeed much larger than the expansion of Jicheng. He said, "Although we have a peaceful relationship with the Xianbei people at present, we cannot be careless. Trenches, beacons, castles, and passes must not be missed. Choose mountains and ridges, build cities based on mountains, break valleys and ridges, and choose dangers to set up guards. The Goguryeo people themselves built cities with bricks and stones, which should not be a problem."
"By the way, you have to be careful. Don't use the Great Wall before it has been repaired yet." Sima Ji reminded that there is always a project, so don't think that it's all done after the Great Wall.
