Chapter 481: This king has a great advantage
Ah...After a yawn, Sima Ji looked at the vassals in front of him and said lazily, "Remember, once coal is incorporated into the salt and iron franchise, the people around Jicheng cannot log wood at will. In addition to reclaiming cultivated land, they must not cut mountains and forests, nor do they surround rivers to build fields. Those who violate the order shall deal with it according to the old rules. If a person with perseverance is really willing, if he can surround the sea and build fields, then I will definitely not object. The jailers in various counties will keep a close eye on me."
"My subordinates understand, but will anyone surround the sea and build land?" Luo Yong showed his agreement, but he still felt that the King of Yan was thinking a little too much, "The people who moved mountains really existed?"
"The world is so big, there are all kinds of people." Sima Ji smiled. He really knew an unpopular history. Since the emergence of a rare Song Dynasty in Chinese history, which had poor military strength, the Jinghai Army's Jiedushi independence. Vietnam has always had an enclave in the waters near Guangxi called the Jing tribe's islands. Until the Qing Dynasty signed the Sino-French Treaty, it was always part of Vietnam. However, after the Sino-French Treaty, these three islands became part of China. New China did not do it and connected all three islands to the mainland. Vietnam in the province was always thinking about it.
"Remember to stare at the mountains and river banks, I will not care about the flat land." Sima Ji emphasized again, "Do this first, and then do the same along the river." The river he mentioned was naturally along the Yellow River, and he has always maintained awe of the King of Yan of the Yellow River. He is really overestimating his ability. The Yellow River has really broken the way for you to see.
At present, the vegetation on the front line of the Yellow River is pretty good, but whether the Yellow River can be stable does not depend on the prefectures and counties downstream. The key is that there are some places in the Yongqin area, which are around Chang'an. Although Chang'an has a good geographical location, the 800-li Qinchuan is not large after all, and it is difficult to support any dynasty of the Han and Tang dynasties, and it will never be restored after the Tang Dynasty.
After the development of the Tang Dynasty, the vegetation on the Loess Plateau was also severely damaged. Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Yellow River has become unruly. After three times of the Song Dynasty, people have conquered nature and are completely unable to control it.
Feng Ji, Yan Yan, Tong Jiang and others exchanged glances. Along the river? The words of King Yan were obviously not limited to Youzhou. It seemed that he had thought about Jizhou in his heart.
"Chief, remember and record things. You also care about this aspect. The mountains and forests should not be cut down except for the Great Wall. Do the biggest thing with the least land. The mountain sealing order has been carried out for several years. It is still threatened with severe punishments, otherwise the people will not be respectful." Several people exchanged their eyes, but were not ignored by Sima Ji. They thought that several vassals had understood the spirit of the King of Yan, so they said a few more words.
"Your Highness, I understand." Seeing that Sima Ji took another sip of tea and there was a tendency to replenish it, several people hurriedly spoke, saying that the spirit of the King of Yan had been absorbed and there was no need to be studied at the meeting.
"Do you really understand? Okay!" Sima Ji slapped his lips, looking unsatisfied, waved his hand and asked a few people to go down and cross the land deeds of Dai County. Why didn't there be any powerful men launching troops to rebel? The King of Yan has already prepared a guillotine, it's really boring.
As soon as he looked up, he saw that Luo Yong did not leave with several people, Sima Ji asked while climbing over, "If you have something to do, tell me how precious my time is, even the female family in the mansion is about to rebel."
"There is one thing that involves a lot of people." Luo Yong pondered for a moment and said, "Daifang County intercepted a group of people. Liu Azhi, the clan brother of Liu Qiu, of Shanyang Duke Liu Qiu, led two thousand people to go out to sea, but was intercepted. When it comes to Shanyang Duke, his subordinates dare not make arbitrary decisions."
The hand holding the land deed was slightly stagnant, and Sima Ji Youran said, "It's really difficult to deal with? After all, they are relatives of the Han Emperor, and there are quite a few people. Let's do this, most of them let them live in Daifang County. Liu Azhi had the reputation of the Han Emperor's relatives, and had bad intentions, and was familiar with foreign countries, and killed..."
"Do you want to report this matter to the capital?" Luo Yong felt a little confused. After all, Dajin still treated the two Wangs and Sanke very favorably.
"No need, it's not Liu Qiu's business, it's just a clan member." Sima Ji waved his hand impatiently, "You can just do it. Just kill the evil people. The tribe can let go. I'm busy."
Sima Ji was sorry for Liu Azhi, if you don’t run away, you are smarter, but you are even intercepted. Since you have been intercepted, the Legalists of Yan are always talking about each other every day, so you can’t just pretend that you didn’t see it. You can only use his head to show the majesty of the Great Jin. The Han Emperor clan actually wants to go abroad. How bad is this rumor?
A few days later, the reprimand of King Qi arrived in Jicheng, but Sima Ji had no time to read it. He was hiding in the Yan Palace and secretly writing corruption punishments, first promoting state-owned enterprises and then regulations. After saving, he forgot and kept them for later use.
He has high hopes for state-owned enterprises. Although he is subject to the times, some advantages cannot be fully utilized. However, the characteristics of some state-owned enterprises will not change. The most important thing is that state-owned enterprises can pay almost all profits except costs. This does not mean that state-owned enterprises must make money. At present, the fleet under Youzhou has been losing money.
Since preparing to attack Simalun, Youzhou's sea transportation has been transporting food. Food is very important to the support of war. Wars destroy production and prolonged time may lead to famine. Sima Ji dared not to pay attention to it. But although food is the most important thing, it is indeed worthless, not to mention that it is preparing military rations.
If it weren't for the conditions in ancient times and the grain production areas were everywhere, it would have been impossible. Sima Ji wanted to incorporate grain into the salt and iron franchise, and now he would be the best choice.
"When I plan the salt and iron franchise and state-owned enterprises, let you vassal kings and the gentry who follow you know what a dimensionality reduction attack is. Then I will hit you all."
Just by relying on the fact that state-owned enterprises can pay all profits, Sima Ji's financial resources are not at the same level as ordinary vassal kings. Can the gentry donate all their property to support a vassal king, so that this vassal king and Sima Ji can fight to the end? The world is so big that there are all kinds of people, so this possibility cannot be completely ruled out, but he knows exactly what the wealth of the Jin Dynasty is.
Not to mention that the largest salt production area of the Jin Dynasty is Youzhou, and the largest iron ore that no one knows is also in Youzhou. The largest sea fleet is in Youzhou and the strongest cavalry is in Youzhou. Sima Ji felt that as long as the time is right, he could lay the foundation for the situation in Hebei in one battle.
"I still have a great advantage!" Sima Ji muttered in the rapid writing, looking very energetic.
"I have a great advantage. How can the strong men recruited by Sima Ji temporarily compare with my army in Yecheng? Just rely on those tens of thousands of Hu cavalry? Sima Ji was still unaware of it. If Sima Ji had not interfered with it, I would have joined forces with Wang Jun of Bingzhou to surrender in one battle. Without Sima Ji, he would have been rushing to be arrogant in front of me?" In the palace of Yecheng, Sima Yong was furious and held the imperial edict sent by Sima Ji in his hand. Obviously, he was extremely dissatisfied with Sima Ji's reprimand for him.
In Sima Yong's opinion, Sima Ji's army had only 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers, which were Youping's border troops, and the rest were recruited strong men. How long would it take? The combat power was definitely not comparable to his 150,000 Yecheng army.
Now Sima Ji dares to stay in Jizhou and tens of thousands of infantry will not leave, relying on the support of Sima Ji, who is now assisting the government. Otherwise, Sima Ji dares to fight against him? As for Sima Ji's previous record, it was the strong Luoyang Imperial Army, so he could do it.
Even now, Sima Yong believes that as long as Sima Jiong does not interfere with it, he can join forces with Wang Jun to make Youping and the two states of his own territory in one battle. The so-called King of Yan is just a clown who jumps over the beam. As for the Xianbei cavalry, can they defeat the Xiongnu in Bingzhou? Not to mention his own Yecheng army.
The problem is still with Sima Ji in Luoyang. In Sima Yong's eyes, Sima Ji in Jicheng was the lamb to be slaughtered as long as Sima Ji was finished. His understanding of Sima Ji was surprisingly consistent with Sima Ji's attitude towards him.
"Your Highness, as long as I give me 30,000 or 50,000 soldiers, the last general will first conquer Changshan Kingdom and Zhao Kingdom, kill Shi Chao, and lead the army north to take Jicheng. I heard that there are many Hu Ji in Jicheng, and I am willing to capture him and present him to your highness." A strange light flashed in Zhang Fang's eyes, and he stood up and asked for the fight. "The last general believes that it will be possible for Sima Ji to bow his head and surrender."
Well! Sima Yong took a few deep breaths, and finally shook his head and said, "I believe in your ability, but a little unbearable will cause trouble. Sima Ji is not worth mentioning in my eyes. He is just pretending to be a tiger's power, so he has to worry about Sima Ji."
"In this way, you select elite troops from the Yecheng army and are ready to attack Shi Chao's troops at any time, but you cannot attack without my exact order. I still have to see what Sima Jiong should do?" Although Sima Yong left Luoyang and returned to Yecheng, his attention did not leave Luoyang because he was forced back.
Sima Yong, who returned to Yecheng, left the place of right and wrong, and became more insightful about the situation in Luoyang. Even Sima Jiong was not as glorious as he appeared. Since Sima Lun died, he should be rewarded for supporting the country and satisfying the expectations of these forces from various places. This is a huge number of people. It is not easy to satisfy such a large number of desires.
The people who reached out to seek reward were local forces. Most of these people were powerful people in the country, and they were potentially self-respecting people. They did not help the center in normal times. Instead, the court wanted to suppress and guard against them. Rewarding them was a way to quench their thirst. It would also increase the unfair idea that more people would expect the country to be difficult and they would like to take advantage of the situation. What's more, there were too many people who were going to reward this time.
Neither Sima Ji nor Sima Ying nor Yang Jun, Sima Liang or Sima Lun were the ones before. Both of them understood that rewards would only make the court look disgraceful. Sima Ji, who is now staying in Luoyang to assist in the administration, refused to mention the reward after rewarding his confidants, but in fact he had decided not to reward him.
