Chapter 8: Loving the People Like Sons

Sima Ji, who put a huge rock in his heart, looked back shocked, but his face was as usual and asked Yan Yan, "I'm remembering that the Lord is back, what's the situation?"

Sima Ji has been unable to change his expression since he was a child. In fact, he has the ability to reflect the arc slowly. Although he was shocked by Yan Yan who was waiting aside at some time, he still remained calm in honor and disgrace.

"Criminal, don't worry about spring farming. I went to three counties and eighteen counties within a week, and the ox and grain plantings have been handled. The farmers and tenants are all grateful for the prince's name of virtuousness." After saying that, Yan Yan bowed and bowed to his side, his expression full of sincerity, and it looked like he didn't seem to be a fake.

"Twenty thousand households, thank you for your hard work. I know it is impossible for each household to run away, but as long as it is basically nothing, it is a great achievement!" Sima Ji saw Yan Yan's vicissitudes of life, so he didn't say anything harsh, but he changed his mind and said, "But there are still some things at this time, and you may have to work hard for you in the future."

"Please give me the order!" Yan Yan could be described as a dusty face at this time, but he still said that he could go through fire and water without hesitation. Yan Yan, who knew that he had no talent, was very serious about everything about the prince.

"Because the prince cannot travel, I may have to go to Luoyang recently. So there are a few things to tell you." Sima Ji was not in a hurry. It was unrealistic to stay in Youzhou as he used to be.

He remembered that Sima Yan died soon after changing the era, which means that Sima Yan would not survive this year. The first step of the Eight Kings Rebellion has begun, and he must go to Luoyang for both public and private purposes.

"There is still plenty of time, just stay in the mansion and pay attention to the progress of the matter." Sima Ji stood up with his hands behind his back, asking Yan Yan to record a few things, and at the same time don't be too hasty. History has proved that being too quick often has no good ending.

The first thing was to carry out a salt drying field on the coast of Beiping County. At the same time, Sima Ji asked Yan Yan to summon a group of tenants to Pingzhou. In order to protect the safety of these tenants, Sima Ji would send a letter to the governor of Pingzhou and the captain of Dongyi He Long in the name of the Yan Prince's Mansion. Most people do not know the origin of kelp, but it just so happened that he loves world history and has some understanding of kelp originating from the east coast of the Korean Peninsula.

These actions are all for one purpose. In order to curb the large neck disease of the capitulation population, even Yan State, the state of Yan State, has symptoms of iodine deficiency, and the people of the Jin Dynasty in the mainland do not know what it is.

"Let me find a group of blacksmiths to go to Beiping County and dig me the mountains around Beiping County!" Sima Ji's tone slowed down, so it was convenient for Yan Yan to remember everything. Later Tangshan was a famous iron mine area in China, and Tangshan was the Beiping County of Yan State in the Jin Dynasty.

After learning that Sima Yan changed the era, he himself did not realize that he was preparing for the Eight Kings Rebellion. "The tenants in the country were kept far away when they were plowing in spring and buried them on the spot. Don't get sick and ill... If there is still time, it's better to check the tenants in the country. I want to know how many people are literate?"

"Crown Prince? What is literacy? Can you write your own name?" Yan Yan bowed and asked for instructions.

"Can you write your own name?" Sima Ji seemed to feel insulted. Even if you can write your own name, you can read it. Isn't this something that my great India has its own national conditions and can do? But in ancient times, I really didn't say who was better than who, and said helplessly, "You have to send a notice to understand it. It's not enough to just write a name."

Yan Yan bowed and left, Sima Ji was still thinking about what he had forgotten, and it seemed that he didn't need much preparation for the time being.

The biggest difficulty in Sima Ji in Youzhou was the population. Youzhou was just a marginal area in the Jin Dynasty, and the population was too small compared to the mainland. Historically, the sparse population caused Sima Xu, the King of Fanyang, who was also in Youzhou, to be unable to become the protagonist of the Eight Kings Rebellion.

Before the Song Dynasty, China's population was distributed in the north and light in the south. The Chinese population in the north was mainly distributed on both sides of the Yellow River. It was similar to the 1.2 billion population in India in later generations, which were mostly concentrated on both sides of the Ganges. Several heavy vassal kings of the Eight Kings Rebellion were either enfeoffed in a large-capital state or the place where the towns were large-capital states. Sima Ji was quite pitiful. Youzhou and Pingzhou, which manage the Korean Peninsula, were not necessarily as large as half of the population of those continents.

"Let's talk about this later!" Sima Ji had no choice but to seek benefits and avoid harm. Just like the people from the Northeast who left their hometowns and never came back in later generations, most of them would definitely not want to let the mainland live in Youzhou.

Sima Ji began to plan for gifts, money and jade would definitely not work. Of course, these things existed in the Yan Palace, but he would keep them for future use. Moreover, many of the bans have better conditions than Youzhou, and many of the great figures in Luoyang have seen many battles. They have seen such big scenes as Shi Chong and Wang Kai fighting for wealth, and they are not something that ordinary money can be moved by.

After scanning the inventory of the Yanwang Mansion, Sima Ji really made a discovery. Because Yanwang Sima Ji was ill in bed, Yanwang Mansion had stored a large number of medicinal materials, including a large amount of ginseng.

These ginseng of large size are still very likely to be accepted by the bureaucrats in Luoyang. Sima Ji just thought that ginseng is of average value. Why? First of all, there is no shortage of ginseng from Youzhou. Furthermore, ginseng can be domesticated and cultivated in later generations. Radish is a close relative of ginseng, but radishes were domesticated by humans early. If ginseng has been domesticated for nearly a thousand years and becomes a mature species in a season, ginseng might not be as valuable as radishes.

At this time, on the streets of Jicheng, in the bustling market, people were in a crowd of people wearing coarse linen clothes. People formed a circle and pointed at the craftsmen at the corner of the street. Although most of them looked pale and thin, they seemed to be so poor that they didn't even have the strength to watch the fun.

"Hey, what do you think our prince is doing? It seems like he is going to build a high platform?"

"I don't know this. Last night market, there was a thief who was discovered and fled. The updater chased several streets and almost lost because it was dark. Today, the high platform was built before and after the night market was opened. From now on, the night market would be opened. In the future, the patrol agents would climb up to stand guard, preventing those gamblers and thieves would do bad things while the night market was opened."

"Don't close the night market. Only with the night market can I have a place to go. I don't know where to go no matter the curfew."

"From my view, hurry up and remove the prisoner, kill a warning to a hundred people to make a warning." A man in brown clothes but seemed to be able to read the words, and the people around him nodded frequently.
