Chapter 51 A big black pot

Pingzhou was established in the Jin Dynasty, divided into five counties and states such as Changli, Liaodong, Xuantu, Daifang, and Lelang. It was used to manage the Korean Peninsula and Liaodong, which was roughly equivalent to the Korean Peninsula and Liaoning. Its subordinates were divided into 26 counties, with a total of 18,100 households in Pingzhou, and the position of Dongyi Captain was established.

This is the family foundation of the entire Pingzhou. Even a small Rinan County in southern Jiaozhou has more than 16,000 households. In terms of population, this may be the most barren state in the Jin Dynasty, and it tied with a county in Jiaozhou.

That's right, Sima Ji's position as General Zhendong was the governor of the Jin Dynasty, a large state with the smallest population. The gap between the Sima Ji was the governor of Qingzhou, which was originally governed by Sima Ji, was completely unpredictable.

Pingzhou has too small population, and it will definitely not work without the support from the mainland. Once Liaodong is cut off, the entire Korean Peninsula will be lost. Sima Ji only falsely accused the Goguryeo people in front of Sun Lu last time. In fact, the border between Goguryeo and Youzhou is almost ignored, but Hepingzhou is really face-to-face.

Xiangping is the location of the Dongyi School Guard Mansion. The Dongyi School Guard Mansion, which manages Pingzhou, is in Liaodong County, not on the Korean Peninsula.

In Sima Ji's opinion, it's a bit high and the emperor is far away. Once something happens to the Korean Peninsula, it may be too late.

After entering Liaodong, Sima Ji asked someone to change the wheels to sleds, and headed towards Xiangping in the wind and snow. Needless to say, the hardships in him were not forgotten, but he had never forgotten the knowledge of cold protection in his previous life, and finally he was calm all the way.

"As soon as I arrive in Pingzhou, I feel a little cold!" The household registrations of 18,000 households are distributed in twenty-six counties. Sima Ji was mentally prepared before coming, but he didn't expect that the preparations were not enough.

Just a glance at Sima Ji felt the difference. Pingzhou's structure seemed to have the meaning of semi-militarized management. Among them, Dongyi School Guard Mansion is the Pingzhou Governor's Mansion in a sense, and the things in Pingzhou are operated daily.

When he entered the city, the sled was obviously not suitable. Sima Ji, wearing a bear leather and a dog skin hat, came down to walk. This was also the first impression of Dongyi Captain He Long when he saw the King of Yan. Although he had heard of it, he was still shocked by this outfit.

"General, it seems that he is prepared for this trip." He Long did not hand over to His Highness Sima Ji, but called out the title of General Zhendong. At the same time, he also said indirectly that Sima Ji's outfit is really different.

"I have been leading the General of Zhendong for a long time. It's my first time here. I'm wrong. Let's go in first!" Sima Ji said, and entered the Dongyi School Captain's Mansion under the guidance of He Long.

Although it is not as unique as the mainland prefectures and counties, the Dongyi School Guard Mansion also has its own beauty. The furnishings look rough and have an exotic style. I think it must be influenced by the local tribes.

"It's shameful that the general is looking for, but his subordinates have not found the things he is looking for." He Long saw Sima Ji for the first time. He didn't know the purpose of his immediate boss, so he accused him first. He saved the young boss from causing trouble for himself.

He Long is talking about Sima Ji looking for kelp, but Sima Ji doesn't care. If you can't find it this year, you will look for it next year. It's not a big deal. Anyway, you will find it one day.

"You don't have to worry about such a small matter!" Sima Ji looked at He Long and sighed in his heart. Compared with the previous Dongyi Captain, he was indeed a little bit mediocre, but this cannot be blamed for He Long. The previous Dongyi Captain was a famous fierce man in the late Three Kingdoms period.

Wen Yang is the son of Wen Pin. His biggest record in his life was that Sima Shi died suddenly. Perhaps Sima Ji really couldn't understand the feelings between the gentry. Wen Yang could still be an official in the Jin Dynasty. If it were other dynasties, he would have been wiped out long ago.

Of course, his achievements were far more than that. The Tu Xianbei leader Tu Shuji raised troops to fight against Jin in Hexi, and successively killed Hu Lie, Su Yu, Qian Hong, Yang Xin and other chief officials. Emperor Wu of Jin Sima Yan couldn't sleep or eat. Wen Yang was ordered to be in danger and governor Liang, Qin and Yongzhou, and the military strength of the three states of Du Shuji defeated Tu Shuji. 200,000 Hu tribes surrendered and became famous all over the world.

Of course, General Zhendong asked in order to see Pingzhou's military equipment, "How is there any difficulty?"

"This place is bitter and cold, and the soldiers are so uncomfortable, especially when winter comes." He Long sighed, "Every year, there are soldiers who die in winter, what can they do!"

Sima Ji stood up and looked around, and asked, "How do the soldiers sleep at night?"

Lying on the ground? Isn’t this asking for death? Is the climate here the same as in the mainland? Sima Ji was shocked when he came to He Long’s inner room. With the weather in Liaodong, even beds are not good. You must have a kang to withstand it.

Sima Ji just lives in the Yan Prince's Mansion. He didn't think about it for a while. Now he remembers that the whole north needs a kang. I don't know how many people will die in winter all year round. But winter is obviously not suitable for completing this matter, and it will not be implemented until next spring.

"When spring plowing, just do what I said." After working in He Long's study for a long time, Sima Ji slid down the kang. Although the kang was not strong without burning bricks, it was better than not. "Create a fire on the stove and heat enters it, so it will be much better to come back in winter."

Sima Ji got to the point after working for a long time and pulled He Long back from his fantasy and asked, "The north of Pingzhou is Goguryeo. I wonder what the abnormal movements of Goguryeo?"

"There are still frictions, but overall they cannot be considered abnormal movements." He Long replied in a singular manner, "Now the Great Jin Dynasty is strong and the small country of Goguryeo dare not offend it."

Small country? Sima Ji rolled his eyes, who admitted that it was a country? However, He Long's words were not false. This means that one person was Wuqiu Jian. When Wuqiu Jian conquered Liaodong, he once led 10,000 infantry and cavalry to attack Goguryeo, and successively defeated Goguryeo King Dongchuan in Liangkou twice, killing more than 18,000 Goguryeo Army, which claimed to have 20,000 people, not long apart from now. Goguryeo would not have no memory so quickly.

"Goguryeo does not recognize the king's transformation, but is just a temporary look of obedience. The lieutenant should not be slackened. Temporary training troops should not allow the other party to take advantage of the opportunity!" Sima Ji said again after a moment of silence, "Since the border between the two sides is intertwined, there will definitely be no fewer cross-border conflicts. Pingzhou's climate is cold and survival is not easy. I am also considerate. Let's do this. Soldiers who died of illness, farmers who died accidentally, tenants attacked by bandits, etc. can all be reported as being attacked by Goguryeo, so that your and my faces will look better!"
