Chapter 630 Father of the Ministry
Nowadays, Sima Ji can only choose a direction with the highest success rate to explore. The biggest difficulty in the southern expedition is the climate problem, but this climate problem is at least within the scope of agricultural society. The Qinghai-Tibet and Mongolian Plateau require the Jin people to give up their farming life and turn into nomadic development. Moreover, there are indeed not many people in these two directions.
There is no way for the Soviets to deal with Siberia, and the Republic cannot stop the population loss in the Northeast. How big is Sima Ji thinking that he can reverse this social law? Or on the basis of an agricultural society?
The most important reason why he was able to establish subordinate relations between these local forces and the Jin Dynasty and achieve his goals through both soft and hard work is that during the southern expedition, he should not let forces from other directions disturb him. In other words, within the past hundred years, whether in the northwest or northeast, there should be no opportunity to stab the Jin Dynasty back.
So the Jin Dynasty has passed the civil war in the royal family and is still a centralized country. Sima Ji even used the means of the Ming and Qing dynasties to maintain internal stability, while the forces in other directions are still in a mess. This is much better than the strategic environment of the Han Dynasty facing the Huns and the Tang Dynasty facing the Turks. From Liaodong to Liangzhou, the Xianbei faced by the Jin Dynasty was divided into six major parts. As for the small tribe Sima Ji, it was unwilling to calculate, and the foundation was still good.
The Qiang people and Murong Tuyuhun tribes are now in Qinghai in later generations. In other words, their territory is already part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, but it is still in the ladder-climbing stage.
In front of Murong Tuyuhun, Sima Ji showed the latest map to open Xinjiang, which made people raise a map of two meters in radius. Of course, this map does not include the south of the Yangtze River, but the Great Wall line to the Western Regions, including part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. He also specifically emphasized, "This map does not include the old land of Wu and Shu, but is just part of my Great Jin territory."
"This?" Murong Tuyuhun had to admit that he felt shocked. Compared with the territory he currently governed, the entire Jin Empire had an intuitive understanding of the huge size on the map, which was so great that it impacted his imagination of a leader.
Sima Ji glanced at Murong Tuyuhun's face in a faint way. Is it a bit like Poland looking at Russia, Vietnam and Thailand looking at China? Sima Ji thinks there is, and it's right. This is the instinctive reaction of an ordinary person when looking at a map. When facing a country with a huge area, this person may not admit it, but he will feel a sense of fear in his heart.
This figure is absolutely accurate and is reduced in proportion. The unit of measurement is the unit of meters in later generations. In the past three years, he has issued a decree to reunify the weights and measures. The weights and measures in later generations are not just a stroke. Tons of this unit is a cubic meter of water. The meter system is a measurement unit founded in France. It uses one forty millionth of the meridian of the earth passing through Paris as the unit of length.
The main advantages of metric system are: there are reliable standards for selecting units; there are close connections between basic units; the decimal system is adopted to facilitate use. This is the most important point in the metric system overcoming weights and measures of other countries. The important unit extended by metric system is the weight of a cubic meter of water. Water is not something that cannot be found in any country, and it is suitable to make the weight.
As Sima Ji knew, there were some differences in weight and length units of each dynasty and dynasty. The use of meter is mainly accurate. A person is six feet and three inches tall. To be honest, it is still easy to see the difference. This can be seen from the height of many Americans playing basketball. The Americans use inches, and their maximum application range should be monitors, and there seems to be no presence in other aspects.
The new weights and measures have been implemented for three years and have gained a foothold in the cities of various states and cities. Sima Ji believes that he will definitely gain a foothold over time. After all, to be precise, the advantages of metric are too obvious.
"Uncle?" Murong Zhaoran softly reminded Murong Tuyuhun who had been silent for a long time, what is good about a map?
"So I'm so far away from home!" Murong Tuyuhun pointed to Liaodong where the Murong family is located, but in fact what he wanted to say was not this, but that although the territory of various Xianbei tribes had also been transformed, the big word Jin on it obviously showed that the territory of the Xianbei was within the territory of the Jin Dynasty.
"The Murong family has been crowned king, and they are managing the territory on behalf of the emperor and maintaining peace on the grassland." Sima Ji of course knew the reason why Murong Tuyuhun was silent. His map cannot be regarded as a map to open the border, but should be regarded as a loan to open the border. He directly transferred the areas that had not been occupied, no matter who it was.
The outline of the territory is similar to the famous Qianlong map in later generations, but there are some subtle differences. Isn’t the land of the Great Jin vassal kings from the Great Jin? Since all the Xianbei tribes have been crowned kings, the small tribes attached to them are naturally from the Great Jin, so what’s so strange about this?
"It is difficult to manage the land outside the world, and my Grand Jin has no intention of invading the grasslands, but the grasslands are unpredictable. The rise and decline of the tribes are a matter of winter. After being appointed as the king, you can manage the grasslands on behalf of the emperor." Sima Ji said calmly, "If you have a new rise and do not accept the Murong family and the Duan family's tribe, you can ask the Grand Jin to support the attack. How could this king be bad to Zhaoran's father and brother, right?"
"My husband treats me, Murong!" Murong Zhaoran said with a gentle smile, "If there is a new tribe in the grassland, he will not obey our control. He will face the joint attack between the Murong and the Great Jin."
"That's the reason!" Sima Ji smiled and sighed in his heart. In fact, the Huns had this treatment before. It was when the Xianbei moved westward. Because they had to face a new enemy they didn't understand, the Han Dynasty tried to support the Huns to withstand the Xianbei's move westward, but of course they did not succeed in the end.
Murong Tuyuhun thought about it and it seemed that this was true. The relationship between these tribes and the Jin Dynasty was actually very obvious, which was just a matter of judging.
"I wonder if the King of Ningxi is willing to accept my official seal from the Great Jin?" Sima Ji clapped his hands, and someone outside immediately presented a gold seal, which was definitely of great weight. Sima Ji never deducted it on this, and there was an imperial edict on the box, and he said, "If my uncle takes it, he can fight against the barbarians on the Jin Dynasty in the future."
"Murong Tuyuhun received the order and was willing to serve the country for generations." Murong Tuyuhun knelt down and said loudly.
"I congratulate King Ningxi!" Sima Ji held the wine cup in one hand, walked to Murong Tuyu who was kneeling down with one hand and helped the other party up with the other, and knocked the wine cup with the wine cup.
A few days later, Sima Ji followed the rules and signed the leader of the Qiang people as kings. Even the most standard land of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in the agricultural era, he thought it would be better to divide it into two parts. It would be too united and harmonious, and it would not be good for me, the Great Jin Dynasty.
Before the Yi Zheng in the south and the Barbarian King entered the capital, Sima Ji first settled the two tribes in the west, and waited for others to come to the door, and had a lot of gold seals to serve as prisoners. Of course, they had the right to choose whether to accept or not. If they didn't accept it, they wouldn't even be willing to do a gesture, which means that this person had already been rebellious and could just kill it on the spot.
"I think about it carefully. I am simply the father of various tribes!" After receiving the Yishou in various tribes for several days, the Barbarian King, Sima Ji, who was a little tired, smiled bitterly at Zhang Bin.
"They should be honored to be their father." Zhang Bin flipped over the roster of Yishuai who had already entered Beijing and said, "The plank road along the way has been reported, but Yishuai who was the headhunter? Other Yishuai said that this headhunter will kill the tradition of outsiders entering their territory. King Yan, look?"
"Head hunting?" Sima Ji was stunned. He seemed to have a real reflection of this custom. He suddenly remembered, "It's them?" The tribe with this custom was Wa State, which later generations had close ties with the Republic and was known as the son.
