Four hundred and seventieth chapters seize the land

"There are 20,000 soldiers in Changshan and Zhao. All the troops are hoarded in Jizhou. If Sima Yong secretly gives me this moment, I will not be able to afford to lose. You must know that my army is very valuable, and they can all read. After I go back, I will rotate 20,000 yuan to prevent the people in Youzhou from becoming empty. So you are under great pressure to sit south of the canal, but this is also an opportunity for you, depending on your ability." Sima Ji controls Youping and the other states, and must consider the issues in a holistic manner. We cannot really fight Sima Yong regardless of the situation.

In the end, he stayed in Changshan and Zhao and left 20,000 infantry north of Hejian. Sima Ji paused again, "The army has no infantry that has married. If there is a good match, it can get married in Jizhou. I will not stop it, but I cannot force it to rob. The people of Jizhou, like the soldiers of Youzhou, are from Jin."

Sima Ji started a new round of micro-jobs while yawning. As long as you can think of, Shi Chao had to instruct Shi Chao. At this time, Shi Chao finally knew why King Yan was in the north and could tell a truth or fallacy of any problem.

He dared not to pay attention to it. Although the canal is not a natural danger, it happened to be the boundary between Jizhou and Youzhou. He did not want to land again. When he arrived in Zhao, Zhao State, which had been scraped a layer of land, was used as Shi Chao's place to station troops. Sima Ji was very generous in this regard, and the original Zhao Prince's Mansion was Shi Chao's General Yingyang Mansion.

Fortunately, he didn't have short-sighted eyes to burn the Zhao Palace, otherwise he would not be able to find a suitable residence now. As for Changshan Kingdom in the north of Zhao, since Sima Yi had re-elected his title, Changshan Kingdom was naturally abolished. Now Sima Jiong is still busy with the major affairs between the kings and the court officials, and will not be a small fiefdom for the time being, so this is naturally managed by the King of Yan.

Just like what he thought when crossing the canal, since he sent troops, he could not suffer any losses, and he would not leave if he said he would not leave.

When entering Yan State, Sima Ji burned all the craftsmen's craftsmen's craftsmen in front of the craftsmen's group and announced in front of the raging fire, "From today on, you are ordinary people, and you have an employment relationship with the imperial court. The places where Youzhou under my rule can be plastered are different. There is only the Yan Palace and the people, and there is nothing else in between."

The Western Jin Dynasty household registration has two types: ordinary household registration and special household registration. Ordinary household registration mainly includes landlords, farmers, etc., who are managed by prefectures and counties and account for the majority of the country's population. The special household registration mainly includes soldiers, monks, nuns, slaves, miscellaneous households, etc. Their household registration and ordinary household registration do not belong to the same system. The national household registration generally does not include people with special identities.

In the following classification, craftsmen are not strictly considered to be a single household registration, but the military households, slaves, miscellaneous households, and tenants in the following are not as good as ordinary people. How high can household registrations that can be ranked alongside slaves?

This special household registration appeared again after the Yuan Dynasty and was classified clearly in the Ming Dynasty. Then it was abandoned after the Qing Dynasty entered the pass. Sima Ji felt it was very good and directly abandoned it in one step, transforming it into an employment relationship. Anyway, the King of Yan is rich now.

Outside Jicheng City, the internal historians, chief clerks, records and records of the country came out to welcome them. In their eyes, the King of Yan returned triumphantly, and since then, things were not that simple. This time, the dispatch of troops was just to get familiar with the route, warm up and prepare for the next battle.

"Give the soldiers a month of rest time, hurry up and go home to work, have children, and then go back to the military camp to continue training. Don't think it's okay, although this is a peaceful and prosperous era." Sima Ji coldly ordered the generals around him, and of course he did not forget to whitewash the peace. He said it was a peaceful and prosperous era. Whoever dared to say it was not, who would be an anti-Jinister.

After entering the inner city, Sima Ji looked at the open space outside the palace and saw a very strange but very exotic building being built. I don’t know what it is for, so I asked Yan Yan, “What is this, who asked the house to be built here?”

"I don't know, but I heard it was a temple where the worship of fire." Yan Yan explained calmly, not thinking that this was a big problem...

"What? The temple of the Zoroka religion?" Sima Ji suddenly exploded. He was so cruel to the Brahmins during the Southern Expedition. He was just trying to deal with religion. Now he even had such a thing in his base camp? He almost grabbed Yan Yan's collar and gritted his teeth and said, "Who asked me to build it? What are you doing for? Let a group of scammers take root in Jicheng?"

"Your Highness, the mistress agreed. How many Persian concubines missed home? You have your descendants in your womb, so the mistress was able to adapt to it. How dare the mistress stop the mistress's idea? You said before leaving that everything in Jicheng will be followed by the mistress." Yan Yan leaned back and avoided Sima Ji's furious gaze and stammered.

"Ah, it looks pretty good. Is it understandable to be homesick. Remember that the people don't come over, it's not a serious matter to build a temple for a few girls. I can't afford it." Sima Ji spread his hands and asked several other officials of the country, "Do you think so?"

"Yes, yes, they are all your concubines. It's nothing wrong with being able to get peace of mind." Feng Ji, Tong Jiang and others all said yes, and began to flatter and comment on the temples being built. "The things in this country look very interesting. The subordinates finally understand the teachings of your highness and have increased their knowledge?"

Have you been to the Persian Empire? Sima Ji looked at a few serious vassals and felt suspicious. Many Hu Shangs who had been to the Jin Dynasty were real. If you say that people from the Central Plains had been to the Western Regions, they would definitely have only a fraction of the Hu Shangs. Chongtu Anqian's evaluation of China was definitely wrong, and the Chinese would never leave their hometown easily.

The south was not fully developed before the Song Dynasty. Logically speaking, there shouldn’t be peasant uprisings in previous dynasties. There were still many spare places on the empire’s territory, but peasant uprisings did occur. The population in the north was crowded like that, and it would rather kill so many people, and the population migrating to the south was only a fraction of the population. How could this be said?

In the late Ming Dynasty, the population of China began to explode, and only then did the group heading to Southeast Asia appear. However, people who left the imperial jurisdiction were automatically regarded as out-of-porn people. After the colonists began to massacre, the emperor only sent an imperial edict to say that it would be good to kill.

Sima Ji was not incomprehensible about this. He also thought that the people who did not pay taxes to him were troublemakers. The King of Yan loved the people as his son and never had a heart on this group. Let me exploit you as a commoner, otherwise you would be a big deal. In order to show his love, after entering the Prince of Yan's mansion, Sima Ji's first order to return to Jicheng was aimed at the inner historian Du Xi, and said with a stern smile, "The emperor has ordered the incorporation of Shangjun into the State of Yan. I am also a little ashamed. Some minor achievements have actually received such a reward."

"How can you say that your highness is a good deed? The emperor's reward is very reasonable." Du Xi bowed and didn't know what Sima Ji sold in the gourd.

"Yes, since Shangjun has been assigned to the vassal state, we must follow the rules of the vassal state." Sima Ji saw that Du Xi also agreed, and said, "Since the vassal state is my vassal state, then there are only the people and the vassal state. Go to the governor's headquarters to take a good look at the map of Shangjun, and let some powerful men in Shangjun hand over the land, and I will buy it at the price of the land."

"Your Highness, are you going to confiscate the land of these big families?" Du Xi was shocked. He had been in Youzhou for a short time and had not seen such an operation. However, he had learned about Sima Ji's methods. If these powerful men were unwilling, what would the King of Yan do?

"What is their land? This is my vassal state. Any inch of land in Youzhou belongs to me, including their lives!!" Sima Ji sneered, "All the land in the Great Jin Dynasty belongs to the imperial court. They just farm on it. Do you really think they are the masters of the land? Have you ever seen that my vassal state has a big landlord? Only I am enough. I am aware of my vassal state and I will take over the money and hand over the land. I dare to complain about it without a copper coin. Get out of Youzhou for me."

"Mystery, Your Highness did nothing wrong with doing this. Your Highness rented out the land in Youzhou, but the age is different. The longest one can last up to a hundred years. Unless minerals are found, they will not be taken back." Yan Yan said in a strange tone, "Let's talk carefully, those powerful people should understand. They just collected less land rent. Why do you have to scratch your head and go against Your Highness with the risk of being able to scratch your head?"

"My family's land limit is a hundred years. I'll be looking for your highness to rent it. If you don't believe it, look at the Youzhou law. The King of Yan has always strictly abide by the laws and regulations and will never break his promise." Tong Jiang, the director, also advised him, "A hundred years have not been short. If you buy and sell land, you have to collect taxes, and it is no different from your own land."

Several vassals advised Du Xi, telling him that it was normal in Youzhou and that it had been well implemented. Besides, Sima Ji was not wrong. Every inch of land of the king of Yan was originally from the king of Yan. Of course, he had the right to do so. How much difference is the time for a hundred years and that he always belonged to him? How many people can live to be one hundred years old?

Du Xi, whose three views were not affected, was believed to be clear to the other party, and then ordered Feng Ji, "I have been thinking for a long time and decided to incorporate the coal mine into the salt and iron franchise. From now on, coal will also be sold in a monopoly system. The pricing will be announced after calculation, and the workers who went to the mine will be hired by the Yanwang Mansion."

"Your Highness's move is so wise. In fact, my subordinates have long wanted to say that coal is so important to Jicheng now and should indeed be incorporated into the franchise. However, before the minister's idea is clear, your superior has already spoken out first, which makes me very ashamed." Feng Ji said in shame, "Only your nobleman's talent can handle government affairs in every detail."

"Your Highness incorporates coal into the franchise and will definitely become a major income for the court in the future. What Your Highness can do is the emperor's right-hand man, and his ministers admire it." Tong Jiang immediately spoke, "Youzhou has more wealth."
