Chapter 38 What's the matter
The truth or falsehood of the matter does not matter. If someone believes it, it is true. If no one believes it, it is false. Even if someone complains secretly, isn’t there still one time and another?
"I just feel that the autumn harvest has just been completed and the corvee service will be collected immediately, and the people are a little too busy." Qiaoxi said in a low voice.
"Will you go to farm next year? Who will go to farm?" Sima Ji was about to shake his stiff neck, and Qiaoqing understood that he could change the place, and then he heard, "A country of such a big one cannot be used. Small countries, few people, and chickens and dogs will not interact with each other until they die. We are destined to be unable to live such a life. The vassal states can pay tribute and protect the safety of the country, and live in a closed door. We cannot do it in the Great Jin Dynasty."
"It is their unlucky life for the people of the Great Jin Dynasty. Everything can only depend on itself. There is no leader in front of us." Sima Ji closed his eyes tiredly and said, "Everything in this world is not in vain. If you want to obtain it, you must pay. The ancestors slash and fire, eat raw and drink blood, called every day and no response, and called the earth and earth unworkable. Have they cried and robbed the earth and accepted their fate and waited for death? Those who accepted their fate will really die. We are all descendants of surviving people. This is the fate of our country. No one can rely on them, they can only rely on ourselves."
"Is there a real paradise in this world?" Qiao Xi Youran said intrigue, "I don't know what it looks like."
"There may be some in the future, but it is likely that it will not appear in our country." Sima Ji interrupted Qiaoxi's fantasy without hesitation. "If it was just a ban on the territory of the country, I could make it very good in a few years, but if I want the entire Jin Dynasty to be the same as here, I don't know how long it will take."
"Maybe the people will come to join His Highness at that time." Qiaoxi was very happy to give Sima Ji a pill. For her, the whole world was still too far away. Although she had visited Luoyang, she was far from understanding the world.
"Then you have to see if I want them. This is all the land of the country's ban. Why should I share it with others when it reaches its limit?" Sima Ji said coldly, "This is the environment created by the people of the ban. I let the people go. Does the original people agree? Qiaoxi, whenever I do something, I have to think about the consequences. If there is no perfect thing, I can only choose the least of the two evils."
It is normal to hate the poor and love the rich. Many people in later generations envy the rich countries of the UAE and Qatar. If they can immigrate, shameless people will go to buy children and sell their daughters. Unfortunately, these rich countries are not immigrant countries. Why should locals put them into the foreign population? Just think about it, before they found oil, they had been fishing for thousands of years in a piece of saline-alkali land. After thousands of years in a difficult environment, why should they share it with outsiders if they found oil?
Sima Ji said bluntly that regional conflicts are more common than ethnic conflicts, and they are more open and can also enter common sense. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, both sides scolded each other for Suolu and the island barbarians. Northern gentry followed the Northern Dynasties to scold island barbarians, which is a typical conflict between the North and the South. It’s just that nationalism emerged in later generations, and I’m embarrassed to dig out this historical material.
Why did the Hu people in the north allow the indigenous Central Plains to stand aside with themselves and scold the island barbarians in the Southern Dynasty? This is also a very simple thing. Compared with the same tribes that they don’t know thousands of miles away, neighbors are always more important. Do you really think that distant relatives are worse than close neighbors?
Sima Ji would not do such stupid things if nationalism can be aroused to solve this problem. Nationalism is a nation with a comprehensive disadvantage to unite people's hearts. In ancient China, there was no force with cultural population above itself, and only encountered forces that could be fought at the moment, but firstly, the population is insufficient, and secondly, culture is equal to power without.
Assimilation emphasizes the silence of things, not the quarrels every day to assimilate others. The louder the shouting, the more vigilant the other party is. Because of the previous three-country melee, the population of the Jin Dynasty still had an absolute advantage, it was no longer suitable for fierce methods. Otherwise, after a major chaos, when the population is restored in twenty or thirty years, Sima Ji will be wiped out all his ambitions.
Therefore, in Sima Ji's opinion, the Hu people who have no ethnic culture are so easy to deal with. If they don't commit suicide, they will do nothing, and they don't have to issue a single edict, just wait for the other party to change themselves. It is difficult to deal with the power of national civilization. If the third brother and Jin Dynasty are next to each other, he will immediately find an opportunity to cut from the Indus River to the Ganges River.
He was not afraid of the military power of the Third Brother, but was afraid that the caste system of the Third Brother had spread the Jin Dynasty. He began to develop independent national culture. Now there is a Goguryeo in the northern part of Heping Prefecture, Liaoxi County. The Xianbei people could let go first, and Goguryeo had to clean up first, and it would be even more difficult to deal with when the other party developed a specious culture.
"I still don't understand these, but I believe Your Highness is right. Why do you want to tell me these?" Qiaoxi didn't pinch his back very much, and a gust of fragrant wind penetrated Sima Ji's nose. The body fragrance of a woman smelled good, and this was feminine.
"Someone always needs to listen to me, but I don't have some things to say to others." Sima Ji turned to look at Qiaoxi. According to the lines of a certain movie, it is very suitable for Sima Ji's mood. That is, they are all outsiders, so what's wrong with speaking up?
Sima Ji, who had stood up, moved his body a little while. The girl made him exhausted and turned around and said, "By the way, have you selected a group of servants to enter the Yan Prince's Mansion?"
"Yes, Your Highness, I have selected a hundred people from unmarried women, with twenty or thirty of them still yellow." Qiaoxi said softly, "These slaves are less than fifteen years old, and each girl is still childish."
Yellow hair? Not childish? Sima Ji nodded with his mouth, but immediately shook his head, not the focus, "Qiaoxi, there are many female relatives in the Yan Palace. So many female relatives in the royal palace are actually a waste. Some female relatives who are already twenty-one years old, don't stay in the royal palace to waste your youth. You pick out the female relatives who are old. After a while, I will see if the guards of the royal palace are married and marry these female relatives."
"I understand Your Highness, but I'm afraid that the wife is a little unwilling. After all, everyone is nostalgic." Qiaoxi said in a little embarrassed.
Madam? Sima Ji narrowed his eyes and knew who he was talking about, his own group of mothers! The wives and concubines of the former king, this is a problem. "Calculate it first, wait for me to deal with it, you can get the number of people first."
