Chapter 282 Youzhou has no foreign troubles
"In the future, you will be called Jurchens. After you belong to the Great Jin Dynasty, the court will not interfere with your internal decisions." Sima Ji picked up the wine glass and spoke, and said in front of dozens of tribe leaders, "All the kings under the world are kings, and the shores of the earth are kings. You will be kings in the future, not people who are outside the world. After long-term prosperity, I believe that the Jurchens will be no different from the Central Plains in the future. But, learn more languages, otherwise it will be bad for communication."
Language is a very important thing. Once language is lost, assimilated or national integration, it will be half successful. The disappearance of language can be said to be a landmark event. As for texts, you can still let them go first. These forces around the Jin Dynasty have not yet reached the time to create texts on a large scale, which was after the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
For these tribes, the Great Jin Dynasty was a high-ranking existence that saw the head but not the tail. As the king of the Great Jin Dynasty, he could use his fingers to the leaders of these tribes, not to say he was kind to persuade him or even to turn against him for a disagreement. Some people were willing to be the sword in his hand.
According to later generations, the Jin Dynasty represented advanced production relations. These Jurchen leaders naturally felt ashamed of themselves and expressed their intention to learn from the Great Jin Dynasty and become loyal vassals.
It is unheard of forcing an alliance between small and large countries. The relationship between these Jurchen tribes and the Jin Dynasty was a vassal relationship, not an ally, and the Han Dynasty only formed an ally with the Wusun of the Western Regions at the peak of the Huns. People have seen what happened later that once the Huns declined, this kind of alliance relationship would no longer exist. After Emperor Xuan of Han, the Han Dynasty began to establish its influence in the Western Regions, turning the previous ally relationship into a vassal relationship.
Now the Jin Dynasty is not as powerful as the Huns, so naturally there is no need to take advantage of the situation. Sima Ji does not need to use allies to comfort the Jurchens in false ways, engrave a bunch of gold seals, and ask Luoyang to issue an imperial edict. This matter is done.
After three rounds of wine, food and five flavors, Sima Ji began to pay out of his own pocket. He brought some copper coins, about five million yuan, which seemed to be very large, but in fact, it was indeed a waste of money to him. It was a pity to eat it without taste.
The Han Dynasty had a huge amount of coins, and even the Wei and Jin Dynasties did not need to be minted. The population decreased a lot, and the purchasing power of copper coins was even lower. Otherwise, how could the Jin Dynasty think of using silver to support the currency? If Sima Ji was furious and sent the copper coins to the people, there were two possibilities. The copper coins would be taken away by some gentry families and merged into copper ware. If there was no family doing this, the people of Youzhou would have inflation. This is a precedent.
In the last time in the war in Guanzhong, a stone of rice turned into ten thousand coins and one stone, which almost broke all the people in Guanzhong. It is different to give rewards to the Jurchens. The Jurchens now have no currency. It can be said that the current social structure of the Jurchens is still in the stage of bartering goods. Sima Ji rewarded them with copper coins, which was also finding a vent for the massive amount of copper coins in the Jin Dynasty.
Although this cannot be considered very clever, it is definitely much more sophisticated than some gentry clans burying copper coins in the cellar. Even if there are fewer Jurchens, there are at least dozens of tribes. The Jurchens do not have the technology to mint coins now, and the right to mint coins is in the hands of the Jin Dynasty. As long as it is used for a long time, it is still a matter of taking advantage. The boy King Yan, a scattered fortune, did a very worthwhile job.
The key points of this are definitely not understood by the Jurchen tribe leaders. They only understand one thing. The King of Yan was a boy with money and actually gave them such a huge reward. The massive amount of copper coins made the tribe leaders who had never seen the world straighten their eyes. As for what Sima Ji said, he nodded, no matter what he said.
"This money theory is really reasonable." Sima Ji laughed in his heart. The cost of bribery is too low. If five million yuan is replaced by a war-torn place, he can only buy five hundred stones of grain. Here he can actually buy dozens of tribal leaders.
Sima Ji nodded first, then paused for a moment before saying, "The Jurchen land is extraordinary to the Great Jin Dynasty. The extraordinary land naturally requires extraordinary methods. My Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty is sincere in his heart to make the Jurchens more prosperous, rather than three days and two days of swords and weapons. After I go back, I will ask for an order and give them official enthronement. The benefits will come one after another!"
"Don't kill each other. It is precisely because I, the Emperor of Jin, hoped to see the prosperous era. The Emperor of our dynasty is actually very open-minded and does not care about meaningless vassal reputations. What the Emperor wants is stability, prosperity, no longer endless, meaningless fighting." Sima Ji was full of lies and fooled these simple Jurchens. The Emperor of the current dynasty has nothing to do with enlightenment, but what does it have to do with this? He said that the Emperor of Jin is open-minded and wise, who dares to say no? The head of the person who said it was not.
As soon as these words were said, and the King of Yan showed some financial resources before, it directly convinced many tribal leaders, and opened their mouths to express their loyalty. Sima Ji could only pretend that he was proficient in the Jurchens and nodded frequently.
"Let's not... the Jurchens are willing to become vassals for generations and serve the Great Jin Dynasty, and dare not betray them." A tribal leader who had already been on top of the wine stood up to show his loyalty and accepted the title of the King of Yan.
"We will be Jurchens from now on, thanks to the name given by the country." Others also expressed their loyalty one after another. In fact, changing the name in a sense is also a kind of recognition and acceptance. They recognized the name given by others, such as the Jurchens, and they had already accepted Sima Ji's Huairou in their hearts.
As the King of Yan outlined a blueprint for the future with his words, the leaders of all tribes could not help but yearn for it. They also wanted such a wonderful day. Sima Ji won a complete victory in the battle between the Northeastern aborigines of the Jin Dynasty and the Northeastern people of later generations. At least now he can make no trouble here for the time being. After the Central Plains is stable, he can take it in the situation. Once an alliance cannot solve the problem, so let's do it a few more times.
"Your Highness, will you cause this kind of grudge in Luoyang?" Murong Han couldn't help but remind him with some concern when he saw this scene. A prince came to the frontier and the leaders of other tribes to drink and chat. No matter what the purpose was, it was a worrying thing. He could see this, the young master of the Murong clan.
"Not that. Today can be understood as a private banquet, but the location is not in Jicheng." Sima Ji pinched his waist and burped, and said drunk, "Now I have settled all hidden dangers. As long as Murong remains loyal, all external troubles in Youzhou will be eliminated."
