Chapter 65: The operation is as fierce as a tiger

As long as Luoyang can solve the Yang family, it will be no problem for Sima Ji in Youzhou. On the contrary, Sima Ji was still staring at him. Now it is not a time of chaos in the world, and no one dares to disrespect the authority of the court.

Therefore, Yang Jun, who was in control of the government, put people into Youzhou, pretended that Sima Jiquan did not see his little move. This time, he took the opportunity to test how many officials from the ban state were connected to Luoyang, so he would not lose money. He would not be able to chew too much, and the problem could be solved bit by bit.

As for King Sima Jiong of Qi, the other party is now without a job, and the Jin Dynasty does not restrict the personal freedom of the vassal kings. Therefore, as long as the other party wants to stay in Youzhou, Sima Ji cannot drive the other party away, and he can only let the officials of the fence of the country accompany the other party.

"I always feel that the King of Qi seems to be more than just these people on the surface. He has not brought any official positions. But whether it is Sima Yi or Sima Su, they either take officials or communicate with subordinates. All this is not behind me. In this way, His Highness of Qi seems to be a little idle. Even if he has no official position now, isn't Qi doing anything?" In the empty hall, Sima Ji held his forehead with his hands and said weakly, "This is abrupt..."

Who is Sima Jiong, the King of Qi? He is not the first heir of the King of Qi. He can squeeze his elder brother away and inherit the throne of Qi. This is something Sima You did not do at the time. The Eight Kings Rebellion evolved into a national civil war. Although it was because King Zhao Sima Lun of the King of Zhao usurped the throne, but at that time, the first time he was the one who called on the vassal kings to raise an army, was Sima Jiong, the King of Qi.

According to historical records, when Sima Jiong entered Luoyang, hundreds of thousands of troops were waving flags and armor, shaking the entire Luoyang. You should know that Sima Jiong's opponent was Sima Lun, the King of Zhao who was in charge of the government, and Sima Lun was the Central Imperial Guard of Luoyang.

Whether the Central Imperial Guard is powerful or not, you can tell if you know how arrogant Yang Jun is now. Wen Qin defeated the Tufa Xianbei only thirteen years ago, and the imperial guards of the Jin Dynasty would not have fallen so quickly.

But the King of Qi dared to jump out and call on the vassal kings to raise an army, which is not something that ordinary people can do. Although Qi was a first-class vassal state, with a wealth of vassal state, Sima Ji remembered that Qi had only five counties. How big was Sima Ji's vassal state? In addition to the three counties of Beiping, Shanggu and Guangning, and the Yan State before the vassal state, the area accounted for two-thirds of Youzhou, and more than thirty counties were in his hands.

Whenever Sima Ji put his role among the rebels, he felt deeply alone. Sima Jiong was a ban on five counties, even if the territory was densely populated, how could he be dense? How could he gather hundreds of thousands of troops to jump out to confront the Central Imperial Army?

"Yan Yan, you should check whether there are foreign merchants in the country, or people who do not belong to the ban country stay here!" Sima Ji slowly looked up and said, "Based on the basis of protecting the chief, ask me if there are any customers coming."

Sima Ji concluded that since Sima Jiong could not raise an army with the ban of his five counties, he had long buried nails in a place that did not belong to him. He didn't know where the nails were buried, so he just waited for the time to start.

"Your Highness, I'll do it right away!" Yan Yan didn't ask too much, and withdrew with the creed of doing more and saying less.

"Maybe you are really unwilling to give up and want the Jin Dynasty to return to the hands of the Sima Shi lineage." Sima Ji breathed a breath of turbid air. This is the case in this era. Once adopted, his original identity has nothing to do with him.

Sima Jiong and Sima You both regarded themselves as descendants of Sima Shi's lineage. As for Sima Ji's lineage, they were adopted as descendants of Sima Zhao's younger brother, and were no longer descendants of Sima Zhao. So for Sima Ji, the intrigue between your Sima Zhao's lineage and Sima Shi's lineage is almost the same as you.

Sima Ji began to formulate this year's plan again, first of all, to build a city, located at the sea outlet not far from the sea, near Beiping County.

"There are nearly twenty counties under my jurisdiction. In view of this king, the scale is just average. In addition to Jicheng, I think a new city should be built in Beiping County to protect Jicheng, and also to guard the journey to the outside of the border." After recruiting the inner historian Fan Zhao to the palace, Sima Ji talked about his plan, "The court will send people to accept the salt and iron franchise soon. The salt and field are so important to our Jin Dynasty. The crowds of people will surely surge in merchants. A new city is very necessary. When the new city is built, it will inevitably be a prosperous place."

Did Sima Ji just occupy the place of the imperial capital? Is this right? In fact, he still occupied the place of Tianjin. Two of the four municipalities directly under the central government in the later years were in his hands.

Of course, in Luoyang's eyes, King Yan was in Youzhou, a bitter and cold place. He had just created a salt drying farm and was taken back by the court less than half a year ago, and the country was sealed off a piece of saline-alkali land. As a result, the wealth was returned to the court and he lost money.

The King of Yan must not suffer any loss. Since the salt drying yard was taken back by the court, he had to try to make up for it. Such a large salt drying yard would definitely become a great source of wealth for the court. It is certain that the merchants and pawns will continue to rush to the future. With the abortion, everything will be found. This is the basis for building a city.

"What does Your Highness mean? Will there be corvee service this year?" The inner historian Fan Zhao felt a toothache. It seemed that even if the scale was smaller than last year, it would definitely not be much smaller. It was still a big project.

"That's right!" Sima Ji, who was holding jade rubbing and grinding his fingernails, nodded lightly, and blew his fingernails gently before he looked at Fan Zhao and said, "The original intention of the king was to build a private manor, but when he thought of the people who had been sealed, he felt a little guilty, so he decided to build a new city to benefit the people of the sealed country."

Do you believe what you said, Your Highness,? It is obviously a labor service to satisfy your arrogant, extravagant and lewd life, and you have to say it is for the people? Can you be a little shameless? Fan Zhao almost immediately wanted to scold him, but when he thought that even if he spoke, it would be useless, he felt a little discouraged.

Don’t think that if you hold Yang’s thighs, you will be like this. In Yan State, I am the only one who is the only one. Sima Ji leaned forward and asked, “I have decided to start construction after the autumn harvest. I don’t know what historian has to say?”

How dare I have any objections? Even if I have any objections, you won’t listen! The inner-sergeant Fan Zhao sighed and bowed, "Fan Zhao does his best, but? When did Your Highness think about building a city?"
