Chapter 329 Compilation of Geography

"Is this the matter? You also met Sima Ying?" The Youzhou caravan who returned from Yizhou reported the ins and outs of Hanzhong one by one when he returned to Jicheng, mentioned Sima Ying's actions in Hanzhong, and explained the reason for his late return this time, because he was trapped in Hanzhong. They did not arrive in Yizhou until Shu Road was opened. This delay made the round trip time an additional month.

"Yes, when Cheng, the King of Du entered Sichuan, he happened to meet us." The man below lowered his head and told the whole story, and finally said, "The geographical, mountain, customs and customs of Yizhou have been handed over to the purchasing department."

"You can encounter it even when buying a pot. It's a strange adventure. The world is really small." Sima Ji sat in the same place and actually laughed. If he remembered correctly, the caravan that went to Yizhou this time was actually going to buy a pot.

A large part of the goods of the Youzhou caravan are actually all kinds of furnishings and supplies from the Yanwang Mansion, and iron pots are of course no exception.

Before the Song Dynasty, iron tools were generally used in two major aspects that relate to the rise and fall of the regime. One was to make agricultural tools such as iron plows, and the other was used for weapons production. Pots were generally called woks or cauldrons, and before the Song Dynasty, there was very little iron. Woks were similar to cauldrons, mostly copper ware; pots were often used in combination with steamers, mostly pottery. These two things can be related to Xiang Yu, the King of Chu.

Of course the same was true in the Jin Dynasty. The food used by the literati was quite primitive. Emperor Sima Zhong said why not eat meat minced meat. In his eyes, minced meat is not particularly good food. Isn’t that meat sauce?

Everyone knows that King Yan is a lazy and greedy person. He made an iron pot to satisfy his appetite. However, the ingredients for many ingredients are not in Youzhou, so an important purpose of the Youzhou caravan is to see what people from other places eat. It is best to bring back the samples, and Sima Ji will personally test it.

Only with iron pots can there be cooking, otherwise, just like he muttered when he was young, he would be full when he saw the noodles, which would be the only way to eat too much. Don’t underestimate iron pots, he is now a fist product from Youzhou and also gives recipes, which can bring considerable benefits to Sima Ji.

Waving his hand to let the man kneel down and Sima Ji, who was sitting alone, smiled inexplicably, "Sima Ying, just made a population of 30,000 households like this, amazing! He was so cruel that he killed so many people in an instant." What Sima Ying got was exactly what he wanted to get with all his efforts.

In Sima Ji's view, this is Sima Ying's biggest gain. He has thought of many tricks for the population, which is to increase the attractiveness of Youzhou. However, word of mouth in this era, Youzhou gives people a fixed impression of being a frontier town. The effect is very average by talking by his mouth. In the end, he painted a propaganda poster, which made Youzhou's population grow in a trend.

But when Sima Ying looked back, she got a population of 30,000 households. She still took the initiative to ask to enter Sichuan. By comparison, even if Sima Ji could make excuses for himself, he would inevitably feel frustrated.

At this time, Sima Ji seemed to have seen the vast crowd on the Shu Road thousands of miles away, and was envious and jealous. Considering the Sima family tradition, he concluded that Sima Ying's move was a trap set on purpose, and he found an excuse to kill the thorns among the refugees. After eliminating the stubborn elements, he was ready to digest the population after entering Shu.

As for the unlucky guy who was killed by nearly two thousand households, he was really a pure unlucky guy who became a victim of Sima Ying's trap. He was so cruel and decisive that Sima Ji put himself in his shoes and wondered if he could do such a thing.

"So what's wrong?" Yang Xin's body had already recovered as usual. She happened to appear with her child in her arms. When she saw Sima Ji sitting alone showing off her beauty, her expression was so changing. She felt that her husband was good at everything, but no one could understand what he said except for some children he taught.

"Don't keep walking around with my son in less than a hundred days." Sima Ji looked up and saw the baby in Yang Xin's arms. His face collapsed, and his voice was not controlled, and he echoed in the hall.

Wow... The effect is very obvious. The baby in Yang Xin's arms was frightened by the sudden sound. Sima Ji's head buzzed loudly. He stood up in a hurry and walked quickly to Yang Xin, muttering, "Son, I was wrong."

It was not until the baby calmed down that Sima Ji let out a long sigh. He wanted to say something to Yang Xin, but now he was no longer in the mood. He spoke, "I'll go and talk to those literati."

"Go!" Yang Xin also smiled bitterly. After having a child, she could not be as casual as before. Now sometimes she missed the time when they were alone.

This is called missing the world of two people in later generations. However, Sima Ji did not talk to Yang Xin today, and went directly to the Yan Prince's Mansion and came to a mansion in the inner city of Jicheng. This mansion is not big, and both outside and inside are ordinary people in Jicheng. It is not a mansion for any official, nor is it an office place.

There are many poor scholars in this mansion, not Shi Chong, but scholars who are almost all over the house. The job of these scholars is to write geography. In fact, there are two groups of people who write geography, one group is specifically responsible for the external trajectory, while the other group is responsible for the internal internal part of the Great Jin Empire. The people in this mansion are the latter.

Writing geography is also another important purpose for Youzhou caravans to travel. They record the mountains and rivers along the way, and then send the records back here to make maps. As a history enthusiast, Sima Ji usually passes the geography of history enthusiasts, and he also knows the rough mountains and rivers of China.

However, when I went to Guanzhong last time, Sima Ji found that a rough understanding was useless and had to be more detailed, which was useful for the future march route. Then he summoned people and started to write geography using the information collected by the Youzhou caravan.

After these geographical records are written, he will put these detailed pictures into the map in his mind, and finally use them to prepare for future military operations after the correction is completed. Of course, before everything is completed, there will be a correction. At that time, the Youzhou caravan will have to retrace the above route, which will be considered complete.

The entire map of the Jin Dynasty, except for the Western Regions, has almost been completed in the mainland. The map drawn is very detailed, but it is very distorted. This time he came to take the map back to his house to correct it.

"Your Highness, King Yan!" The scholars in the mansion saw Sima Ji coming in person. They didn't know that the King Yan was a little allergic to the lion's roar just now, so they hurriedly bowed and said hello, "Did Your Highness come here to get the picture?"

"Yes, my master wrote a magazine as a magazine. I am afraid that it will become a joke." Sima Ji smiled and looked at these scholars, and his attitude was quite good. This was called imitating his master. He was justified, and he did not deny it. He did not deny it. He did use Zhang Hua's reputation to summon these scholars under his command.
