"This is of course good, but Your Highness, the villain has always wanted to ask one thing, why are you so anxious about the canal?" Luo Yong's doubt has been around for a long time. Looking at the years, the King of Yan seems to be quite obsessed with the canal, which is puzzling.

"If you want to be rich, first build roads. Water roads are greater than land transportation capacity." Sima Ji Lao Shen said, "The canal is related to the prosperity of Jicheng. It is connected to Luoyang in the west and Jiankang in the south. Once successful, Jicheng will be the best in the world."

"The best in the world?" Luo Yong couldn't help but feel aroused in his heart when he heard this, and murmured to himself. He was from Youzhou and didn't know what Luoyang looked like. However, in the local feelings, after hearing Sima Ji's words, he couldn't help but feel excited, "Is there any place that is more prosperous than the capital?"

"It depends on you. As for whether it is done, it will be clear after the completion." Seeing that the good student was filled with his own poisonous chicken soup, Sima Ji reached out and patted Luo Yong on the shoulder, encouraging him as if I was optimistic about you.

Seeing that Luo Yong seemed to have a lighter bone when he left, he had a bit of a magical skill and was floating on the water, this brainwashing was quite successful.

Of course, Sima Ji was not all painting cakes. Everything he said was the truth, and he was even a little humble. In fact, Luoyang could not be compared with Jicheng in the eyes of the King of Yan, let alone Jiankang. The one who can really compare with Jicheng in terms of comprehensive conditions is not Luoyang, but Chang'an in Tongguan.

Only Chang'an can talk about heroes with Jicheng. Luoyang is almost the most suitable place for the capital, but it is only a little bit worse, that is, Luoyang has almost any benefits, Chang'an is not bad, Chang'an has the surrounding geographical advantages to protect itself, and Luoyang is more than one step away. Therefore, when various dynasties chose the capital, Luoyang was repeatedly defeated by Chang'an.

Although Chang'an's position is slightly off-the-top, it is not too far-reaching and is still considered to be the world. It is more than one step ahead of Luoyang in terms of security. Relying on the dangers of mountains and rivers to protect itself in troubled times, it is a powerful enemy in Chang'an. Luoyang's ability to face troubled times is still too poor. The most suitable one is to be in a peaceful and prosperous era.

Jicheng is actually incomparable to Chang'an and Luoyang at ordinary times. If an ordinary dynasty defines the boundary on the front line of the Great Wall, Jicheng will be a military center if it is supported. Because it does not control the Northeast, the importance of Jicheng will not be exerted. It is not a place that controls the two great plains, but a military fortress that needs support from the Central Plains.

Jicheng finally arrived first because the territory of the later dynasties was different from the pure Central Plains dynasty. The capital could control the Central Plains, the grassland and the Northeast forces. Jicheng, which was at the intersection of the three sides, could be compared with Chang'an. Chang'an was short of success, and the 800-mile Qinchuan area was still too small, and its potential was not as good as Jicheng.

Now Sima Ji has pinched all the soft persimmons outside the border. He dare not say that the entire Northeast is at the beginning, but it can also be said that he is slowly controlling it. The first importance of Jicheng is reflected. After taking the Northeast, Jicheng will not be a remote and bitter place. Taking the Heilongjiang River from Jicheng is about the same as going to Guangzhou, and it can also be regarded as the world.

Once the canal is opened, the second importance of Jicheng will be exerted, and the road will be smooth. Whether it is against the Central Plains' back, pointing to the outside of the Great Wall or looking at the Central Plains with its back, you can switch freely.

Furthermore, Jicheng is near the sea but not near the sea, and is protected by Liaodong and Shandong Peninsula. The Bohai Sea is the inland sea and is regarded as the safest offshore area in China. The sea route is more than just a step higher than pure land routes.

"Husband, can you say such a thing as the best in the world?" Yang Xin kept criticizing Sima Ji. The largest city was of course the capital. Sima Ji wanted to turn Jicheng into the best in the world. If someone was interested, he would definitely cause trouble.

"I just said it casually and fooled Luo Yong." Sima Ji stretched his waist, took three steps, and turned a deaf ear to Yang Xin's warning. Luoyang was anxious to play for the prince, so he had no time to control himself.

"What are you doing?" Yang Xin blurted out when she saw Sima Ji's deafness.

"Check the customer!" As soon as he said that, Sima Ji thought for a moment, there seemed to be an ambiguity, and he kept adding, "There is a delegation of Funan to pay tribute. Today, he landed in Tianjin Port to welcome him for his husband."

Oh! Yang Xin agreed embarrassedly. When Sima Jidu left the mansion, he remembered that he was not the Queen of Funan.

Tianjin Port Wharf, Liuye, dressed in a cool outfit, was not exhausted by the long journey. After getting off the boat, he looked at everything in front of him with curiosity. This exotic outfit also made some people at the dock curious.

"Where did the envoy come from? Why is it a woman? Can women become officials?"

"I heard that in some barbarian small states, women can also be the pass, and they can also be the king!"

"It's really outrageous. There's such a thing. It's just a hen Sichen. There won't be any big trouble."

"You go and stand there, how could you say so much?" The captain next to him couldn't stand it anymore and cursed with anger, "This is the Queen of Funan enthroned by the imperial court. Are you all pointing at the fingertips here?"

"Here you come!" Liu Ye's eyes lit up, and a team of cavalry guarding the luxurious carriage came over very far away.

The carriage carriage carved with patterns stopped here at Liuye. Sima Ji went down from above and looked at Liuye who had not seen for a long time. He could still see the shadow of his childhood. He spoke with a reserved voice, "The queen has grown up, and I am old."

"The king is really good at joking. You have nothing to do with the word "old" and it is still the same as before." Liu Ye said the standard Central Plains words and looked at Sima Ji with a smile, "Is this the king's country? It's really too big. I've been walking on the sea for a long time."

"This is my ban, but my country is not as big as yours. Come and get on the bus." Sima Ji calmly corrected Liu Ye. No matter how brave he was, he would not dare to answer this, unless he was more confident than Sima Lun and dared to face the siege of almost all military towns.

Liu Ye was the foreign aid found by Sima Ji, the queen of the Funan Kingdom. After receiving his invitation from the letter, he organized a delegation to come to the Great Jin Dynasty to pay tribute. Unlike in the past, Liu Ye came here in person, brought nearly 500 missions, brought treasures of rare beasts such as elephants, rhinos, and pearl agate. It can be said that it is the largest and most tribute envoy in ten years.

Although Liu Ye was the queen who was granted by Sima Ji, he was the king of a country who came here in person, and the specifications were different from the previous tribute missions. He naturally found something for Luoyang to avoid thinking about internal struggles every day, and at the same time he bought himself some time.

The King of Yan knew very well that Luoyang court officials were celebrating the tribute, or that the ancient dynasties were like this. It was completely the kind of attitude that said that they should not be honest. On the one hand, they were unforgivable, and such a barbarian came to see the world. On the other hand, they wanted to show the dignity of the country in front of the delegation, just to see the surprise expressions of friendly countries and satisfy their vanity.

Since this is the case, Sima Ji found a queen to lead the team himself, with a large number of tributes and more treasures brought by him. He could even pay out of his own pocket to pay money. According to the past practice, I, the Great Jin Dynasty, must not lose face, otherwise it would not seem that the barbarian and small country is prosperous, so where can this bring the face to the Shangguo?

Xiaobang expressed his respect and that the king of a country came to pay tribute in person. Officials at all levels knew that the whole matter was very controversial, and the bigger the momentum, the better. Even Jia Nanfeng had to deal with this matter for the time being.

If the entire capital happily responded to the tribute mission, and the empress and the prince would be squatting at this time, it would not be their affairs, and the people from the entire Jin Dynasty were lost.

"Is Funan okay now? In a blink of an eye, you have been the queen for many years, and time flies so fast." Sima Ji and Liu Ye sat side by side, not feeling that men and women were not allowed to get along with each other, and Liu Ye didn't even think that it was like that. Funan was not particular about this.

"Everything is good in Funan. I have ordered the raising of grain to sell it to the fleet. The weather in Funan is not suitable for large amounts of rice, so it's good to sell it to the king!" Liu Ye leaned against Sima Ji naturally and said, "Before leaving Longchuan, everything was done. By the way, your country was hit by disaster? Is it a flood?"

"The country is big, and it is impossible to always have good weather." Sima Jihan replied vaguely. He couldn't say that he was preparing to fight a civil war. He did not have the bad habit of a civil war without heroes, but it was difficult to say it out.

"I can't even imagine how great it is to be an emperor in such a big country." Liu Ye laughed, not understanding what Sima Ji was worried about.

"Don't say this nonsense. There is only one emperor. Besides, there are big troubles, and this is even more true for you people from small countries!" Sima Ji warned with a double word. Although Liu Ye said it casually without any restraint, Sima Ji dared not listen casually.

He has no prejudice against other nations as emperors. In the end, he will decide the outcome on the battlefield. If he loses, Sima Ji will definitely not be chattering like a grudge, but he can only guarantee that he will face the final result calmly, and ordinary people cannot face this result.

In most eyes, no matter how good the ethnic minority dynasty is, it is the blame. If the Central Plains dynasty does not do well, there must be a reason, and there must be a ten reasons for it to be proved. Therefore, the melee people in the late Han Dynasty talked about Guan Yu, and no one talked about the number of people who decreased the population. Later, the Jin Dynasty collapsed, and all the Hu people were cannibalized, so there were so few talents in the Jin Dynasty.
