As soon as he said that, Sima Ji felt a little regretful. This purpose was too obvious, and it was obviously because the motivation was impure.

Yang Man didn't think too much. He didn't think that the dignified King of Yan came to Taishan County for the first time. He had never seen Yang Xianrong once, so he bowed under the pomegranate skirt. This was not normal, so he didn't hide it. "My little sister is fourteen years old this year, so she is naturally married."

He was such a beast. Sima Ji cursed in his heart and was deeply ashamed of the dirty thoughts in his heart. It was better to ask for verification than asking. He didn't expect that he was really so young. Because of the serious population loss, Sima Yan once ordered women to get married before the age of sixteen. Generally, women who have not yet got married must be under the age of sixteen.

According to history, Yang Xianrong should have been recommended to the palace by Sun Xiu more than a year later and became Sima Zhong's second queen. At that time, Yang Xianrong had not yet gotten married, which means that Yang Xianrong was probably less than sixteen years old at that time. After hearing Yang Man's words, he was right at the same time, which made Sima Ji curse in his heart.

But he wasn't scolding himself. King Yan had a reason to do things. Of course, he could not be compared with ordinary people. However, others did not have such treatment. Even such a young girl was so shameless.

After a few casual words, Sima Ji stopped talking about other things and lived in the private manor of Taishan Goats.

In Sima Ji's eyes, Yang Xianrong's appearance is definitely not mentioned. As for the empress of the Jin Dynasty to be committed to Han and Zhao, a woman has nothing to blame, and it is certainly worthy of praise to be able to die for the country, and it is not impossible to do it.

When the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed, the nobles bowed their heads, but they let a woman be buried with her. They were completely standing and talking without any pain. A group of big men and pillars of the country made a mess of the world and then let the woman take the blame. It was simply unreasonable.

If he was a petty person, Sima Ji would have troubled Cao Huan when he was in Yecheng. At least his descendants submitted a memorial to Emperor Jin abdicate hundreds of years later. The two families did have a grudge, but he did not do so. Naturally, he would not be picky about a little girl here.

In the first week of staying in, Sima Ji was most interested in not Yang Xianrong, but observing how the Taishan Goat clan operated. In fact, Sima Ji had never seen the manor economy of the gentry. Shi Chong's Jingu Garden is a typical form of this kind of manor. However, he is the richest manor in the Jin Jin Dynasty and can afford the expenses of the Jin Gu Garden. There are not many in the Jin Dynasty, so if you want to observe what the manor of the gentry is, you cannot start with the Jingu Garden.

The biggest feature of this kind of manor is to be self-sufficient internally and meet all the daily needs of the gentry. The "Yan Family Instructions: Family Management Chapter" says: "The foundation of people should be eaten with crops, mulberry and hemp, clothes, vegetables and fruits, and produce in gardens; chickens and pigs are good, and the birth of the circle; and the buildings, equipment, woodcutters, and fat candles are all planted items. Even those who can keep their business are enough to live in a closed door. But there is no salt well in the home." The Yan Family Instructions say that it is the scene of the gentry manor.

"Did you see anything?" Sima Ji stood by the stream next to a fruit forest, looking like he was expressing his feelings for the mountains and rivers, and asked several guards.

"There are mountains and waters in the manor, fish ponds and fruit forests, and people rest at sunrise and sunset."

"The manors in the Yang Family Territory seem to be more comfortable than some cities, and the time is shorter. I can't tell how many tenants and slaves are serving the Yang Family."

"The fort looks broken and not seriously damaged, which means someone is still repairing it. Although Yang's troops have not seen much, they can feel that they should not be inferior to the military officials in counties and counties. Of course, they cannot be compared with several important towns. They should be similar to other prisoners who have guarded the country."

Several guards spoke one after another, telling everything they saw in the past few days. Some focused on military affairs, some focused on life, which made Sima Ji nod and didn't know what he was thinking.

To put it bluntly, it is a land acquisition, which is the same as his order in Youzhou that people are not allowed to enter the iron mine area of ​​Beiping County. It is the same as the one who encircles the high mountains and rivers that belong to the Jin Dynasty. The Fenggu Mountains provide the basis for establishing the manor. This thing was done once when the Eight Banners entered the pass, but most of the Eight Banners enclosed the land was around the imperial capital.

But Sima Ji could not even estimate how many gentry members were in the entire Jin Dynasty. As for how many places they enclose, there may not be only the newly established Zhanzhou, and the remaining nineteen states should be everywhere.

With land, population needs to develop, because after the Melee of the Three Kingdoms, a large number of people disappeared, but the minted copper coins still exist. Until now, the Jin Dynasty did not mint coins. Even so, the purchasing power of copper coins among the people was greatly reduced, and ordinary people's recognition of wealth became land, cloth and grain.

The land is obviously more in the wild, and the basis for survival lies in the mountain villages in the wild. The population in the city naturally began to move to the mountain villages to live. Therefore, when we came, Sima Ji and his group saw that the dilapidated city could not be restored for a long time, because compared with the city, it is obvious that the manor can provide them with the capital to survive, and the manor development is much faster than the city.

In the words of later generations, this is called anti-urbanization. Anti-urbanization is the decentralization process of population migration from large cities and major metropolitan areas to small metropolitan areas, small towns and even non-urban areas. The main reason is the pursuit of urban residents' tendency to naturalize the living environment, the industry in large cities seeks cheap land and labor outward, and the development of transportation and information technology.

However, in an agricultural society, the natural economy will redevelop, and the center of social and economic life will shift from cities to rural areas, which will reduce the population and wealth controlled by the state, which is definitely not a good thing for a country.

The population entering the countryside is placed under the aristocratic race, and has become an important force for the aristocratic race to protect themselves. It can be seen from the repair of the forts in the manor that many aristocratic races are still repairing the forts.

After the Eight Kings Rebellion, these forts protected the lives of the people in the north, but the forts have been repaired. It is by no means that these gentry had the foresight, but they were just used to protect their lives from harm. They can become barriers to the Hu people, but if they were in the Jin army, they could also become barriers.

The more such manors, the smaller the power a country can mobilize. Now the world has not been in chaos, the royal family is still there, and the military town has not disappeared. However, if it continues to develop, the country's power will become weaker and weaker. Therefore, after the Jin Dynasty, a military town can often raise troops to fight against the country, because the central government's power is scattered among the manors of the major gentry.

Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, in order to facilitate the central government to control the powerful forces, the central government has paid more attention to the strategy of strengthening the roots and weakening the ends, migrating wealthy homes to Kyoto and its vicinity to strengthen the capital. Many cities spread across the country are county seats and are the political centers of a region. Therefore, cities often become the gathering place for wealthy homes such as kings, bureaucrats, and nobles.

But now, what Sima Ji saw was that the rise of manors was increasingly hurting the city of Jin Dynasty. In comparison, he was able to build Jicheng into a world-wide giant city in just a short time. Apart from his real corvee, the main reason was that other cities had almost no development.

"Think more about how to deal with these forts in the future." Sima Ji looked at several trusted guards with inexplicable gazes and whispered, "This kind of anti-urbanization must not continue to develop, and it has ruined the development of the Han Dynasty for four hundred years."

If the country becomes a big countryside and has no foundation to rely on, how can we centralize power? No matter how centralized power is, the basic conditions will be so scattered, and there is no way for Qin and Han Wu to be reborn.

As the actually richest man in the Great Jin Dynasty, Sima Ji felt that he should learn from Yang Man and have a deep understanding of this self-sufficient feudal manor. Yang Man was optimistic about this and also talked about the uniqueness of his own territory.

"Listen to your words, I feel enlightened." Yang Man boasted so hard that Sima Ji couldn't refute the other party's face, and asked with a very interested look, "I wonder if Yang's manor is similar to other people's manors?"

"Your Highness King Yan, how can it be completely consistent because of different properties? But it is like a manor in the clan, and each family is similar!" Yang Man asked with a smile, "Your Highness King Yan, you must want to build a manor after returning to Jicheng?"

It would be better to say that after returning to Jicheng, I found a way to demolish your manor. Sima Ji raised his eyebrows. He felt that it was quite good to build a city, and he was steadily one level higher than others' gardens, but he kept responding, "Yes, yes."

Sima Ji was serious nonsense. Yang Man treated him like this, but he wanted to destroy the other party's manor, as if he was kind to repay his grudges. If his understanding of the gentry before was not very deep, then this trip to Mount Tai had deepened a lot. Now he really did it as a career. These gentry almost turned the entire Jin Dynasty into a big countryside, then don't blame him for doing things and specifically destroying this self-sufficient feudal manor.

Memories from later generations told him that productivity determines production relations. As long as the output is sufficient, it is not completely impossible to destroy such self-sufficient feudal manors. Such feudal manors are said to be self-sufficient, but there are certainly many industries that cannot be done.

For some reason, Yang Man always felt that Sima Ji's smile had some deep meaning, and it seemed not as simple as it seemed.
