Chapter two hundred and eighty-fifth was smashed wool

With the current Jurchen level, they can handle them in terms of system and economy. There is a saying that money is obsessed with. Money is completely different in peacetime and wartime. The copper coins sent by Sima Ji may be very valuable in the Jurchens, and may only play a drop in the bucket in the Central Plains. The Jurchens cannot come to the Central Plains at this point, so they will definitely not be able to find the difference.

So far, Sima Ji has managed all the forces around Youzhou, leaving only a few Xianbei tribes. In terms of threat, the Murong family and the Yuwen family may have a greater threat. But on the other hand, they are not stupid. The forces like the Three Koreans and Jurchens may know that the Jin Dynasty is very strong, but they do not have this concept in their minds.

The Xianbei tribe had a very direct impression of the Jin Dynasty. They were in a stage of watching flowers in the fog, and they were afraid to act rashly. This was different from the Hu people in the mainland. The Huns and Qiang people in the mainland knew too much about the Jin Dynasty and lacked awe.

So according to different psychology, Sima Ji took different countermeasures. The primitive Jurchens would be pampered, and the half-baked Xianbei would be both kind and powerful. If the Hu people in the mainland rebelled, they would be seeking death.

Compared to the time, I was in a hurry and embarked on the journey back, the team was more comfortable. Those who were watching the scenery and hunting, who were a little smart enough to understand that this team of 3,000 people was sweeping across the white mountains and black waters. Once attacked, there was still the Dongyi Schoolmaster's Mansion there. I, the Great Jin Dynasty, would be more face-saving, and it would be unwilling to be killed by a prince.

Walking slowly and stopping, Sima Ji Shi returned to Jicheng, took a shower directly from the hot springs in Yanshan Mountain, and drove away all his fatigue before returning home. The country was as usual, and it was still so comfortable. Only in the mouths of some officials could he hear something outside of Youzhou. Outside Youzhou, the general people are already very far away, so far away.

"The Jurchens are still very friendly, and I give you so many furs and ginseng to Your Highness." Qiaoxi touched the smooth fur with her bare hands, and said happily in her heart, "I want to choose some Dongzhu for Yan'er, okay, husband."

"There is nothing wrong with my own daughter." Sima Ji suppressed the bloody grief in his heart and made a happy look. Could it be that? I bought it for five million copper coins. He thought for a while and said, "It seems that there are already a lot of ginseng in the treasury, so he should deal with it."

Ginseng is a treasure for people in the mainland, but it has long been equated with radishes. The side courtyard of the Yanwang Mansion can make wine, and every jar of wine is soaked in ginseng. The wine alone can fill a warehouse. He is afraid that the remaining ginseng will be rotten. It is quite expensive, so it will have to add more money to transport it to the mainland. It is a pity that it will rot.

"How did you gain this trip for your husband? Is the Jurchen tribe still peaceful?" Yang Xin came over in white clothes, graceful and graceful. This outfit diluted the sharpness between her eyebrows, and sat down next to Sima Ji and asked about her own situation.

Yang Xin and Qiao Xi were completely different from the commoner daughters. Her experience and experience made her realize that her husband, King Yan of Jin, was not the kind of simple cruelty and violent. There must be a reason for doing so. Cruelty and violentness were a last resort. It is not a bad thing to find more opportunities to communicate with her husband and resolve the depression in her husband's heart.

"Fortunately, it's much smoother than the mainland." Sima Ji beat him up, turned his head and sniffed the smell of Yang Xin's hair, "Is it just some Hu people? It's like the Central Plains. There are other things besides Hu people obstructing the court."

The King of Yan was not sick, and he always ran to the wilderness when he was free. It was not because the order there was not clear, but the Central Plains had order, and it was several times more difficult to correct it. The key point was the gentry.

"Xin'er is really rare to see her husband so relaxed!" Yang Xin looked curious and really found that Sima Ji was different from her coming back this time. She turned out to be happy and angry every day, and she didn't know what she was thinking. Now she couldn't tell what was wrong. Anyway, she just took off a heavy burden.

"Don't think too much about women. If the sky falls, your husband will hold you back." Sima Ji hugged Yang Xin in his arms and comforted her softly, but he did not explain much. It was a bit too difficult to let Yang Xin understand how to play her geographical advantages.

Youzhou has no external troubles. The biggest liberation is Youzhou itself. Being able to use the power outside the frontier was the foundation for Youzhou to become the center of the world after the Sui and Tang Dynasties. This is also the reason why many people do not catch a cold in Youzhou, because Youzhou accumulates at one point with the help of grasslands and farming power at the same time, and is not a traditional political center.

After erasing the external troubles in Youzhou, Sima Ji no longer had to worry about someone stabbing him behind his back. When he faced the major military towns in the Central Plains, he, the King of Yan, was even more confident, unlike the one who was afraid of wolves in front and tigers in the back.

If the chess game of Jin Dynasty was difficult for him, although it is still difficult for hell, it is not an unsolvable problem. If you think of a solution, it is not impossible to turn the world around.

Youzhou is peaceful, but not like this in Guanzhong. There are two completely different environments in a country. If you are optimistic, it is the charm of the vast territory, and if you are pessimistic, it is to provoke the people and suffer the people.

The growth of household registration in the feudal state is an intuitive reflection of this trend. The 50,000 household registration seems to be small. This population is not worth mentioning compared to those large counties with hundreds of thousands of households. Not to mention the large counties in the Central Plains, but it also depends on whom. Liu Yuan, the leader of the Xiongnu in Bingzhou, has no more population than him. At this time, after years of rest and recuperation, the population was not large, which was more than 50,000 households, which was half a pound of 80,000 households, and Sima Ji.

You should know how long the Huns have been there. A few years ago, the registered household registration of Youzhou was far inferior to Bingzhou. Now, including Fanyang Kingdom and other counties in Youzhou, they have almost tied the household registration of Bingzhou. It has only been five years, and what about five years?

What's more, Sima Ji is still enriching the population of Pingzhou, absorbing refugees from other places every moment, trying to catch up with other major states as soon as possible. As long as there is enough time, he can make up for the biggest shortcomings of Youzhou.

Since there is no more population, Sima Ji can only find ways to make the limited population use the greatest energy. After checking his own family background, he will try his best to flatten society. If he cannot be prosperous in common, he will be poor together first. Try to make the lives of all people similar and not know the gap between the rich and the poor together.

In this way, Youzhou also has its own advantages. The total population controlled by Sima Ji himself is not as good as them. Although there are many people in other prefectures and counties, the gentry forces there are very strong, and no one can use such a large population. Moreover, in order not to stimulate those aristocratic families, local officials must make some kind of compromise, so the potentially mobilized population may not necessarily be much larger than Youzhou.

"We need to allocate food and grass? Because of Guanzhong's affairs? It's not serious." Sima Ji had not been proud for too long. Xu Meng, the governor of Youzhou, visited and directly dispersed the joy in his heart.

Sima Ji seemed to remember that in addition to local Sili, the main place for grain supply in Luoyang was Huainan. When did he set his mind to the north of the Yellow River? Even if the Guanzhong army needed food and grass, it would not be like this, right?

"Your Highness, you were in the Three Hans last year. Did you forget that last year the entire Ji, Yang, Yan, Qing, Xu, and Jing all broke out in floods. The local food was flooded by the flood. Your Majesty also issued an edict to pardon local taxes. The grain stored in these prefectures and counties itself must be used for cultivation and rest. The food supply to Luoyang is insufficient. Now the court orders Youzhou to think of a solution." Seeing Sima Ji's suspicious eyes, Xu Meng quickly explained the key points and smiled bitterly, "Although Xu Meng is the governor of Youzhou, his highness must know a little bit about the money and grain of Youzhou."

When he said this, Xu Meng felt a little embarrassed. There were actually not many vassals in Youzhou, only King Yan and King Fan Yang. Among them, King Yan occupied more than two-thirds of the land in Youzhou. As the governor, he wanted to mobilize food and grass, but he could not get these counties to flee. In this way, the local people rebelled again.

"Oh, that's it!" Sima Ji glanced at Xu Meng and said reluctantly, "It's not impossible. The governor also said that other prefectures and counties have their difficulties. However, if you rely solely on Youzhou, it will definitely not work. I will first call the chief clerk Feng Ji to ask."

He is actually a very selfish person, and he never denies this, but as Xu Meng said, a flood last year almost wiped out the Huanghuai area, and the local people still need time to cultivate. If he still watches coldly, he will be a beast.

Feng Ji came here with the account book, flipping through page by page and telling Xu Meng about the real situation of Yan State. Soon Xu Meng learned that the situation in Yan State was not optimistic. There was no flood in Youzhou, but the King of Yan sent troops twice in two years, consuming almost the same accumulation of Youzhou. Now he is paying attention to rest and recuperation.

"Without delaying the disaster in Youzhou, I can only take out 60,000 stones of grain and grass, and no matter how much it is, I really have no more. I know that these grain and grass are transported to Guanzhong, even if it takes a detour to Huainan water transportation, it can only temporarily supply the Guanzhong army. But as long as the temporary crisis is solved, there is no way." Sima Jibian thought, "It's enough for two months to not have any problems."

"Does Your Highness have a good idea?" Xu Meng had no choice, as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, otherwise he would not have visited him.
