Chapter 40: Lin Yi's harassment

The number of people exceeds ten thousand to cover the sky and the sun, which means that the number of people reaches 10,000 and the eyes of people can no longer be contained. If this is an army, the enemy troops facing him will not be able to see how many enemies they will face.

There is a saying that the Jurchens are not satisfied with ten thousand, and they are invincible. The simple truth of this sentence is that the shock brought by tens of thousands of people on the battlefield has nothing to do with combat effectiveness.

Sima Ji formulated a strict construction period, which was very urgent in terms of project volume. It was clearly stipulated that the labor service should not be beaten to death, which tests the supervisor's ability. Along the three counties, dust covered the sky and the sun, and tens of thousands of labor service faced the loess and white to the sky, sweating profusely.

"Everyone listened to it. The shallow ditch must be completed within one month, otherwise it will be you who suffer in the cold winter. If you don't mind jumping into the cold water and continuing to work, then I don't mind." The supervisor shouted back and forth on the ditch to supervise the progress of the canal. "There are also prisoners released from the jail. If they do well, the sentence will be counted as two days here. If they are not done well, the sentence will remain the same. How to choose depends on yourself."

Sima Jiyaoyao looked at the construction site in the distance, and finally narrowed his eyes and said, "Is the dust too big? I have someone take out some cloth and hang it on his face to cover his mouth and nose, just like the maid in the palace, you know."

Even if you are equipped with all the corvee labor levies, a mask is too big, and you won’t use much fabric. Using these small favors to win people’s hearts is simply too cheap.

"I still mean that, try not to suffer casualties due to corvee labor. This is more important than digging a canal itself." Sima Ji Jing, who came out, stood there for a long time and suddenly spoke, "Reclaiming wasteland must not be done by filling lakes or blocking rivers. Violators have been corvee labor for three years, and the water source is gone, and no matter how much cultivated land is, it is useless."

"Yes!" Yan Yan, who had been following Sima Ji'an, nodding. He had long been accustomed to the corvee ideas that His Highness of Yan from time to time. Since the King of Yan said that he could not fill the lake and block the river, it was that he could not, and there was no reason.

Let’s protect the natural environment, everything else is easy to say. The entire North China Plain was almost dry in later generations. How many rivers were dried every year? The entire number was impossible to count. This is the cause of too many people.

"Get on the horse and go to Guangping County!" Sima Ji raised his hand and ordered to set off. Although he was like the former king Sima Ji, he was completely different. Wherever Sima Ji went, he would drive the human-shaped self-propelled cannon. Sima Ji really came to supervise it, that is, he could still turn it. If he was a little bigger, he wouldn't be able to escape.

He knew very well what the canal was when digging. During the construction of the Grand Canal in the Sui Dynasty, countless people died in ditches. In the face of such consequences, no one could believe it. It would be harder to run around.

"The subordinates have prepared all the food, enough for the corvee service. As for clothing tools, all households have prepared them. The tools have been issued by the state. The King of Yan doesn't have to worry about it, there is no problem." Yan Yan reported while following Sima Ji, just slapped his chest.

"What should I worry about about clothing, tools and food? People should be careful about. Those dead things will not be about corvee themselves, and people will still be the ones who oppress people." Sima Ji said disdainfully, "Anyway, before all projects this year are over, the localities will be disbanded and the reorganization of households and people must be completed. There will be next year's work."

Who said that I would just collect labor service? After digging the canal, I can also repair the city walls. After repairing the city walls, I can also open mountains to obtain mines. After finishing the work, I can also dig sub-drawers. As long as I have time, I still have work, and I will be fine if I want to finish it. It is impossible.

"There are Xianbei villages in Guangning and the north of Shanggu, let's take a look there." Sima Ji, who thought it was the first time, changed his route temporarily and decided to go to the north to take a look.

Yan Yan was shocked when he heard this and said, "Your Highness, you should pay attention to safety. The Xianbei villages do not eat the kingdom, and the registered households and people have not yet been promoted to the north. Although the middle-aged people in the villages have been levied for corvee..."

"Far, I don't eat the king's power, and I haven't seen the governor, and the county magistrate will not collect taxes." Sima Ji, who was holding the horse rope, looked at Yan Yan coldly, "What do you mean that I will accompany hundreds of guards, and may have been destroyed by a group of old, weak, women and children?"

Strictly speaking, the Xianbei is the only large-scale cross-border ethnic group among the Hu people. As for the Huns, Qiangs, and other things, they are all within the territory of the Jin Dynasty. The long ones have lived in the mainland since the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the middle ones are like Qiang people. It was entirely because the Han people entered the Hexi Corridor on a large scale and conflicts arose.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Qiang people in Liangzhou repeatedly caused chaos and wars, which was the sequelae of migration.

This is the norm of history. The fate of each tribe since ancient times, but is it? The final winner must be the one with a large population.

Two days later, the large group of people entered Zhulu County, Guangning County, and immediately left the city. As for the entire population of the feudal country, don’t expect Zhulu County to be as grand as it can be. The gap with Jicheng is unreasonable.

Luoyang Taiwei Mansion, Taiwei Yang Jun sat upright, looked at the report of the Youzhou Governor, whispered and chuckled, "The King of Yan Sima Ji confiscated corvee service after the autumn harvest, and there was no mass of the people's suffering. He also took Xu Meng to open a canal, and a good vassal king wandered around the country every day, not sure about the reason, and for no reason."

"Brother, it's a good thing to open the canal itself. Contacting traffic, why did it become unknown to you? It's inexplicable?" Yang Yu almost got angry when he heard it. "Although King Yan is not as good as the one who has an idea."

"The people have not stopped after the autumn harvest. Why is it that they are not understanding the sufferings of the people?" Yang Jun asked disdainfully.

"Will the mass of people suffer when the farming period is busy?" Yang Yu argued in a deep voice.

"Okay, two brothers!" Yang Ji said calmly, "There is another thing. Linyi, a small country in southern Jiaozhou, raided Rinan County, and was robbed near Lu Rong, and dozens of households were lost. Linyi's army robbed away. How to solve it?"

"What Linyi Kingdom, it's Xianglin." Yang Qing corrected his words and said a little embarrassedly, "What if you rebel again? If you repeat this, what can you do?"

"Let the prefect of Rinan recruit soldiers to attack, and the little treason wants to make a big fuss?" Yang Jun waved his sleeves, "It's better to destroy them at one time and take back Xianglin County. It's not enough to split the soil and be crowned kings, and he actually wants to harass Jiaozhou. It's really outrageous."
