Ji Tang

Chapter 1253 Ji Song: It’s broken.
"Did you give him the stuff?"

Ji Run nodded and said: "Yes, if he can really pass the Jinshi examination, it means that he has the ability. With the help of my Ji family at critical moments, he will not be too bad in the future."

"That's good. You continue to contact him in your current capacity. If you need any help, as long as it doesn't touch the principles, just help him a little. We can wait until your father comes back to talk about everything!"

"Yes, grandma!"
-
Spring has returned to the earth, and the tender buds are rushing to grow, as if they want to produce all the things that have been dormant throughout the winter!
The sky is blue and the white clouds are white, the hawks are flying high, everything is revived, the grass is growing and the orioles are flying!
The tamed eagles chirped in the sky from time to time, and sometimes they would throw prey caught from nowhere to the ground, and someone would immediately pick it up.Tamed falcons cannot eat cooked meat, as this will weaken their wildness and ability to survive.Therefore, every time after cleaning, the most juicy meat will be left for them. As for the rest, of course it goes into everyone's mouths!
"It's not delicious, it's too bad, and it doesn't have the fatness of autumn!"

Cheng Yaojin ate with his mouth full of oil and complained, but he didn't put down the things in his hands and ate faster than others.No, as soon as he finished eating what he was holding, he aimed at the pheasant legs in Ji Song's hand.

"Here you go! I won't kill you!"

Anyone who was watched helplessly while eating was not in the mood to eat, so he simply gave it all to this old man.

The war is over, and the next step is to clean up the mess.But of course he, the general, does not need to do these things personally, otherwise what would his subordinates do?
Tang Jian led his ten disciples to travel around the Western Regions. Today he was showing off his power in the Tocharian Kingdom, and tomorrow he went to the Huoxun Kingdom to preside over the king's enthronement hall. After that, he issued an imperial edict and canonized them.Either he was going to Persia to discuss business taxes on the Silk Road in the future, but he was busy anyway.

He doesn't care about these things, leaving the bottom line, and then it's up to them. If the negotiation is good, it's your ability. If the negotiation is not good, change someone else.Now many civil servants in the Changshi Mansion in the Western Regions are eagerly waiting for the general to arrange tasks for them.Everyone is gearing up, and the only thing left is a collective petition.

They have suffered a lot in the Western Regions over the years. No one in this world wants to endure hardship, and they all want to be transferred back to the Central Plains.But how can things be so simple?It's not like Ji Song has never thought about this matter. It's really hard for a clever woman to make a plan without rice!

He had already said in the memorial sent to Chang'an that if you want people, you still need people.

Aren’t there no places for students in the academy and the Imperial College?Isn’t there no official job?

I have it. With this expansion of territory, and the nearly one hundred counties under the Protectorate of Beiting, Anxi, etc., the establishment of dozens of counties can be increased at least.As long as they come, at least one county captain will not be able to escape.

In addition, in order to attract people to settle here, he also asked the court to set up resettlement envoys, who would be responsible for the resettlement of people in the Western Regions. They were county captains, and above them there were institutional envoys to oversee the overall situation.

After everyone had eaten and drank, Cheng Yaojin picked his teeth and kicked Guo Xiaoke, who was overstuffed, and asked: "Do you think anyone can come here? It will take nearly half a year to get there. Who is willing to come?" here?"

Guo Xiaoke rolled his eyes and glanced at Ji Song beside him. The meaning was self-evident: Who are you looking for? I don’t know shit!
Ji Song didn't seem to hear what they said, he just kept feeding a naive little guy on the ground!
"Hey, I said you have free time, right? You have nothing to do with this thing? You look like a fool at first glance. You don't know how to run when someone comes. You look like a fool. What's so fun about it?"

Ji Song fiddled with the little guy's head, and it turned out that it was as if it was frozen and could not move. Not to mention how cute it was with its silly look!
Groundhog, a common gadget on the grassland, he also discovered this thing accidentally.

"The world is so ignorant and there are so many blind followers. If you want to attract people, it is nothing more than profit. For profit, what can you do even if you go through thousands of mountains and rivers? Don't underestimate the determination and perseverance of those who are dissatisfied with their current life. For Live a better life, let alone the Western Region, you can even swim across the sea thousands of miles away."

"Then what if you still don't come?" Guo Xiaoke asked.

"That's because the benefits are not enough. If all the previous policies are doubled, I don't believe no one will come!"

Cheng Yaojin and Guo Xiaoke looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. You must know that it is thousands of acres of land. Although it needs to be developed by the owner, the policy of no tax collection for ten years is simply pie in the sky.

What if it were doubled?God, that's crazy!
Although we are in a foreign land, we are surrounded by a large army of guards, so our personal safety is still guaranteed.What's more, the military power of the Tang Dynasty is now at its peak. Who would dare to touch the people of the Tang Dynasty without risking their lives?
Since the last time a tribe robbed a caravan in the Tang Dynasty, Ji Song personally ordered the expedition. In just three days, tens of thousands of tribesmen's chickens and dogs were left behind.This move shocked the entire Western Region.Now that those forces saw that the Tang Dynasty caravan was more intimate than their own father, let alone robbery, they were worried that their words would be harsh and attract the Tang army.

They had previously advised Ji Song not to do too much, after all, it was a bit too much.But since that time, I never heard of caravan robbery again, so I immediately shut up!
Even those bandits and bandits will take a detour when they see the Tang Dynasty caravan.

"Is this too much? You know, the Marquis of the Tang Dynasty only has less than a thousand acres of land. If this were spread back to the Tang Dynasty, would they go crazy?"

Ji Song didn't even think about it: "I have already written to Your Majesty. If someone is willing to exchange the fiefdom here, I will give him ten thousand acres, not to mention thousands of acres. There is not much else in the Western Region, but there is a lot of land, and I can't wait to do so." When they come, they have the ability to occupy all the land here, and then this place will truly belong to the Tang Dynasty."

Cheng Yaojin looked at Ji Song with wide eyes, his hands trembling.

Damn, this bastard is so useless, can he even think of such a method?
What kind of place would Datang not give up easily?Of course, it is a place where you have your own interests.As long as this place really becomes the fiefdom of the nobles of the Tang Dynasty as Ji Song said, whoever dares to take advantage of this place in the future, let alone a foreign race, even the emperor will have to consider whether he can withstand the backlash of the nobles?
But then I thought about it, if I really put the fiefdom here and only keep part of the land in Chang'an, it wouldn't be impossible.With their status, enclosing tens of thousands of acres of land here is just for fun, and no one else has anything to say after it's over!

"Jue, damn Jue!"

He had to give a thumbs up and praised Ji Song: "If this matter spreads, I don't know about others, but as long as the nobles move, the people will definitely rise upon hearing the news, and there will be a large number of descendants in the Central Plains. Overwhelmed people flocked in!"

Guo Xiaoke finally figured it out at this time. He looked at Ji Song, then at Cheng Yaojin, and whispered: "How about we first see which places are suitable for farming? Otherwise, when those guys come, What else can we do?"

Cheng Yaojin and Ji Song were stunned, looked at each other, and then said in unison: "It's broken!"
-
In the General's Mansion in Bagua City, Ji Song looked at the account books handed over by Tang Jian and had a headache and wanted to kill someone.These bastards are really good at finding holes. As long as they are given some policies, they can make a big fucking hole!
"In other words, more than [-]% of the soldiers in the army are now willing to settle here themselves or send their own children? And now they have begun to enclose land everywhere?"

Tang Jian rolled his eyes. Who promised in the first place that he could choose a place by himself and just register after registration?

"Tell me, this matter can't go on like this. I can't explain it to His Majesty!"

Yes, if this matter is reported back to the court, what will happen?More than [-] of the most elite troops of the Tang Dynasty are going to settle down in the Western Regions. Is this okay?
The Tang Dynasty will provide you with the best weapons, the best armor, and the best treatment. Isn’t it just that we expect you to fight for the Tang Dynasty?It's better now. After the war, we just give up the fight and everyone happily enclosures and grabs the territory. What does this mean?
"How about stopping them?" Tang Jian raised his eyelids and asked.

"no!"

This time, Cheng Yaojin, Guo Xiaoke, Liu Hongji and others exploded without waiting for words. "Old Tang, what are you thinking about? Stop it now? Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey? Believe it or not, those guys are going to fight you directly?"

"That is, taking someone's money, like killing their parents, is this possible?"

Tang Jian said angrily: "Then what do you think we should do? Of the nearly 6000 troops brought from Chang'an, there are now 2 still alive. But according to statistics, at least nearly 2 people are planning to stay here. Make a home, or give a home to the second son of the family. It would be good if you can bring back [-] people. Could it be that you go back and tell His Majesty that your soldiers plan to settle in the Western Regions? Don’t you plan to come back?"

"Do you believe that His Majesty will chop off your head first and then ask other questions?"

"Then what do you say?"

Everyone looked at each other and then looked at Ji Song. Anyway, you were the one who started this matter. Now that something like this has happened, it’s better for you to make the decision!
Ji Song rubbed his forehead and said: "Tell them that the Lord of the land will keep it for them, but they must return to Chang'an first. It's up to them whether they go or stay at that time. They have to pick up their families anyway, right?" "

Liu Hongji was overjoyed when he heard this. After all, they took the person back, but you can't force him to stay if he wants to leave, right?When these people return to Chang'an, most of them will still have to disarm and return to their fields. The Sixteen Guards are already full, so we can't set up another army, right?

Even if His Majesty is willing, the ministers are not willing.

With so many people eating horse chews, how much money do they get every year?Since there are basically no wars to fight now, why do we need so many troops?Maybe other military members will have to lay off people due to their retirement over the years.

Thinking of this, he thought of another good idea. If there are really layoffs, you have to arrange for so many rich and powerful men, right?Do you have to pay for the land allotment?Although the court has this money, it will definitely not be much if it relies on civil servants.

When the time comes, I will mention that a large number of young people are needed in the Western Regions. Isn’t this another achievement?
The more he thought about it, the more he thought it was feasible, so he immediately shut up. He was worried that someone would see this method, so he changed the subject and said: "Gao, it's really Gao. General, this method is definitely feasible. Anyway, we will bring him back, and then he will The court can’t stop you from going anywhere, right?”

When everyone heard that this was the case, they dispersed and went about their business.But Ji Song rolled his eyes. Just when they were about to step out of the lobby, they heard a faint voice from behind: "Don't be too greedy, Wanmu. As for where, you can decide for yourself!"

Everyone's faces remained calm, as if they didn't hear anything, but their steps were faster.As the saying goes, if you are quick, you are slow, and there are only so many good places. If someone beats you to it, there will be no place to cry.

After everyone left, Pingyang walked out, glanced at Ji Song, and said bitterly: "They are all bastards, all generals of the imperial court, and they all look like philistine businessmen. How can they be decent?"

Ji Song didn't even look at him and said directly: "Thirty thousand acres inside and outside Mulu City!"

Pingyang's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she wasn't the one scolding him just now. He looked straight at Ji Song with his bright eyes and said, "Really?"

"fake!"

bang~
Pingyang was immediately furious and slapped him over without thinking, gritting his teeth and saying: "That place is reserved for me. The expenses of this princess mansion are also high. There are not enough acres in Guanzhong. If we continue to occupy this place, the people will not be able to survive." It’s better to occupy more here!”

Ji Song glared at her angrily and said with a dark face: "But let's agree in advance. I don't care about the rest. But if you let me know that you dare to harm the people of the Tang Dynasty, don't blame me for draining the firepower. Don't think of anything else!"

"Huh? You can flip the table or something? Look what you can do!"

Ji Song didn't say anything. He had many ways to control these black sheep. Anyway, this place was vast and sparsely populated. Who would occupy it?The worst that can be done is to drive those people away. Those countries that have just established their countries would like all their people to run over and save their own troubles!
"This place is no better than Beiting and Anxi. There are many rivers here, and the plains are very suitable for farming. But what I want to say is that no matter how much food you grow here, it will be useless. How can you expect to transport the food back to the Central Plains?"

Of course, it is impossible to transport it back to the Central Plains. It will take more than half a year just to travel. When it is delivered to the place, it will be a good achievement if [-]% of the food can be left behind.Therefore, the most cost-effective way is for the Ji family to sell it to other countries, and they can exchange it for soldiers' property, or exchange it for goods and transport it back to Chang'an, so as to maximize their profits.

"What should I do?"

Pingyang was also dumbfounded. He couldn't transport the food back even if he had it, so what would he do with it?
When Ji heard this, she hated iron and said, "Are you stupid?"

“Can land only grow food?”

Pingyang's willow eyebrows stood up, he stared at Ji Song and said threateningly: "Who are you calling stupid? Tell me again if you have something to do?"

"Cough cough!"

Ji Song's face was full of embarrassment, and he quickly changed the subject and said: "Listen to my quibbles. Bah, please listen to me."

But who is Pingyang?Will I listen to your explanation?

So, after a while, Ji Song turned into panda eyes.Not to mention how frustrated I felt, I couldn't run away, I couldn't hit him, I could only get beaten.

"Tell me, what can you do? If you don't tell the truth, I will beat you up!"

"Don't, don't, I said it's not okay!"

So Ji Song told everything about his plan. Pingyang didn't take it seriously at first, but as he listened, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he almost started drooling.
