Chapter 33 Mutual Market
Raising poultry also requires goose feathers. Goose feathers are a good thing. Winter clothes can be made in winter, which is very important for Sima Ji, who is in Youzhou. Moreover, goose feathers can be made into goose brushes. If the literacy rate is popularized, he will make a brush for everyone, which will be too expensive. Even if the Yanwang Mansion can do it, he will not be able to do it. He will also save money to prepare for the Eight Kings Rebellion.
"Eggs are the cheapest standard necessities for living, and pig farming is mainly refining oil. Beans can be used to make tofu to improve physical fitness. Think about it and see if there is anything else." Sima Ji went back and forth around the table. What the people could feel was the four words of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the ranking was divided into front and back.
If you want to accumulate wealth, you must find a way to find these four words, whether it is to increase revenue or reduce expenditure.
Yi Sima Ji secretly muttered, looking at Qiaoxi, who had not returned from Luoyang for a few days, with a standard oval face and figure, cough cough! During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, a woman's underwear was named Liangdang, which was similar to the belly-hunting style. However, it was made of two layers of cloth in front, and it could also be filled with stuffing to keep warm.
This was a little waste of fabric. A pair of thief eyes swept around the girl's chest. Sima Ji, who was concerned about national affairs, did not notice that Qiaoxi was spreading from her jade neck. She felt uncomfortable standing there...
"Well, the weather is good today!" Sima Ji also found that he was a little too direct and hurriedly covered up, "Qiaoxi, come to my room tonight!"
When Sima Ji left, several maids chattered around Qiaoxi, "Sister Qiaoxi, does Your Highness like you? If you have a skin-friendly relationship, you will have to take care of us in the future."
"Why is it not me who is attracted to by Your Highness? If we have a son and a half daughter, we will have hope in the future."
"Don't talk nonsense, Your Highness is a gentleman. Not what you think!" Qiaoxi retorted with a red face, "Things are not accurate yet, don't gossip."
Qiaoxi, who had already washed up at night, stood in front of him with a look of picking, and Sima Ji knew what the problem was. The women of the royal family were still stubborn about him. He really just wanted to see the women's close-fitting clothes, at least that was the case at that time. As for now?? Let's discuss it again...
"I know that my status is low, as long as your highness doesn't dislike it..." Qiaoxi stammered.
"I definitely don't dislike you, but you're only fifteen years old, and I'll talk about it when you're in the age of the past." Sima Ji interrupted directly, "And this is also in line with the laws of the Great Jin Dynasty. As a vassal king, I don't know how to break the law."
"Yeah!" Qiaoxi looked down slightly and felt a little disappointed, but found that Sima Ji was still looking at him calmly, touching him with his plain hands, not knowing where the other party was looking, and finally put his fingertips on his red lips. At this moment, Sima Ji's gaze suddenly became evil.
His Highness, who did not know the law, had sufficient actions to show how to wander on the edge of the law and the final interpretation of the Great Jin law within the fiefdom of the country, of course, was in the hands of his vassal king.
"Sister Qiaoxi, how was yesterday?" Xiaoqing came over and asked about the situation last night.
"Don't ask!" Qiao Xifeng's eyes glared and scared, "You are not the age you should know."
"If you don't ask, don't ask, you're starting to bully people now." Xiao Qingwen muttered aggrievedly, not paying attention to his sister Qiaoxi's anger and shame. Even when she looked back now, Qiaoxi couldn't believe that the person yesterday was him.
The culprit had already left the mansion and was not even in Jicheng City. The biggest difference between him and Sima Ji, a wise king, was that he could not go out alone in the Yan Palace, even if the Yan Palace was already very large.
According to the standards of later generations, inspection of autumn harvest is a face-saving project that is not enough. But Sima Ji still has to do it. Don’t think that the face-saving project is useless. Face-saving project is always better than nothing.
"Your Highness, this year is another bumper harvest. It can be seen that your Highness inherited the King of Yan, which is the destiny of heaven." Yan Yan, standing behind Sima Ji, looked at the tenants not far away sweating profusely, and did not forget to flatter him in a roundabout way.
"That's it!" Sima Ji's lack of interest was obviously telling Yan Yan that it is not a good opportunity to flatter you now. It's better to close your mouth when you remember.
"When will the Xianbei people come?" Sima Ji asked suddenly.
"Tomorrow, Yuwen Xianbei, Murong Xianbei, Duan Xianbei and Tuoba Xianbei all come. Before coming every year, these tribes will send people to the royal palace to report it. Calculate the day will be tomorrow." Yan Yan hurriedly made an explanation. Although flattery is important, it is also important to show the real material.
"Oh!" Sima Ji was silent again, and asked Yan Yan to be careful, not knowing what the young King of Yan was thinking.
Sima Ji thought very simply, how to find a reason to gather the tenants and slaves from the country? Basically, after the autumn harvest of the agricultural society, there will be no major issues. Isn’t it too cheap for them to keep these people to dry every day?
We still have to find ways to continue to squeeze the labor force and realize the greatest potential of the country's ban. Anyway, since Sima Ji became the King of Yan, the population of more than 20,000 households in the country's ban have not been able to think about when they have free time. Although a bright future is waiting for them, this process must be bleeding and sweating, and this process cannot be omitted.
"Only, trees are not allowed to be cut down on both sides of the river. The distance between the big rivers will be increased according to the width of the river. Violators will be corveyed for three months. As for this standard, no tree can be used." Sima Ji racked his brains to think of these two things for a while, "once you fight with bare hands and armed forces for one month, and when you use agricultural tools and armed forces for half a year. The stealers have a year of corveyed for only one day, and there are only so many. Go to the governor's mansion to get me a book on the Great Jin Dynasty Law, and I want to see it."
When Yan Yan appeared again a few days later, except for very serious crimes, they basically became corvee labor of varying lengths.
The mutual trading has also begun. Both sides set up special large markets on the border. The Yanwang Mansion sent special personnel to manage them to prevent malicious speculation, price gouging, and market damage, and maintain the security and fairness of transactions. This is a nice saying that Sima Ji wanted to make the big head of the mutual trading.
Concentrate the exchange of advantageous materials between the two sides, such as using grain, salt, iron, tea and other goods from Youzhou to exchange for excellent war horses, cattle and sheep, fur, mountain delicacies, etc. from Xianbei. Through such mutual exchange, meet the needs of both sides and achieve prosperity for the people and economic prosperity of both sides.
