Ji Tang
Chapter 1378 Taicheng
Yizhou, Jilong Port, was named Jilong Mountain because there was a mountain in the shape of a chicken coop. And because it was close to the seaside, there was a natural deep-water bay. So where the Tang army landed, the decision was made to build a port here!
On this day, Shen Zhen, Liu Rengui, Gu Yanzhi, as well as many Yizhou officials, as well as many owners of territories near Yizhou, came to Jilong Port, preparing to welcome a nobleman.
As early as a few days ago, Shen Zhen had handed over the owners of the thirteen families' territories to the governor of Dengzhou, and then went south to Yizhou to prepare to meet his own leader.
That's right, the people who came were none other than Ji Run, who was ordered by Li Chengqian to be the governor of Yizhou and the commander of the Nanhai Navy, and Princess Lantian who went south with them.
"What are these people doing here all these years? Isn't this nonsense? I wonder why they thought they were greeting their superiors, and the Marquis has no jurisdiction over them, so why are they here to join in the fun?" Shen Zhen said dissatisfied.
The reason why he called Ji Run a marquis was not nonsense, but a few months ago, the Supreme Emperor suddenly overridden the emperor's decree and ordered Ji Run to inherit the title of Marquis of Good Wisdom, which had been granted to Duke Xie in the early years.
What a great honor, that is the only title given to fellow cultivators in the Tang Dynasty by the Empress Dowager. As long as the Tang Dynasty still exists, this title will always belong to the direct lineage of the Ji family.
It's enviable to say the least. Who wouldn't want such a title? But it also depends on whether you have the ability. Duke Ning became an official in the Tang Dynasty before he was crowned. In thirty years, he made countless great achievements and kept alive countless three types of high-yielding grains. Who can compare with such achievements?
Mr. Xi is well-deserved!
Your Majesty is also the same. By deciding the succession order of this title so early, there is no guarantee that he will not worry that this title will flow into the hands of other children of the Ji family.
After all, the Marquis married the eldest daughter of the current Holy Emperor, and now gave birth to his eldest son. By settling the matter early, he stopped other people's thoughts and tied the title to himself. Good calculation.
But it doesn't matter, Lord Marquis can be regarded as a young talent. Although he is not as good as Duke Xin, he is more than enough to be a leader.
"coming!"
While everyone was waiting, suddenly, a behemoth was seen leaping out of the sea. Even from a distance, one could feel its domineering presence.
On the boat, Ji Song put away the telescope and said to his wife, who was wearing a cloak next to her and her hair was blown away by the sea breeze: "It seems that there are quite a few people to greet you. I won't show up if you decide what to do later!"
Li Yu gave her husband a roll of her eyes and said angrily: "You know how to summon people, and yet you're using me as a shield?"
Ji Run chuckled and said, "Who gave you a noble status? Besides, it's not appropriate for so many people to come. It won't be too late for the elders to wait until they get to the place to entertain them!"
Li Yu is also extremely smart. She knows that she may have had ulterior motives these years. Her husband has his own purpose in coming here, and he is not here to form cliques.
Besides, as the eldest son of the Ji family and the only successor of the Marquis in the Tang Dynasty, he really didn't care about them.
She was filled with pride when she thought of this. The Marquis of Chuanming would not change even for a prince.
She didn't expect why the emperor's grandfather would suddenly issue such an imperial edict. She didn't understand until her grandma called her into the palace and said something. I also know the reason why I came to Yizhou with myself this time!
First of all, my husband may have to stay in Yizhou for many years, so it would be inappropriate for him to stay in Chang'an. Secondly, I came here with the intention of looking at Yizhou. After all, the sky is high here and the emperor is far away. Even if my husband has no thoughts, there is no guarantee that all the people below him will be loyal. Third, it can be regarded as a declaration of sovereignty and sovereignty over overseas territories.
After all, the royal family sent all the eldest princesses here. Doesn’t this explain the problem?
However, the child stayed in Chang'an, but with his grandfather and grandmother there, there was no problem. It was much better than suffering with them. When the child is older, take it over and let the child see the world.
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and ordered: "Snap up my ceremonial staff!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
-
Seeing that the ship was about to arrive, people with sharp eyes noticed that a bright yellow guard of honor was suddenly displayed on the ship. When they looked at it carefully, they suddenly took a breath of cold air.
I saw the dazzling royal emblem baring its teeth and claws in the sea breeze. Even the dullest person knows that there are royal people in the fleet, and their status is not low. I am afraid only a prince can have such an array!
Shen Zhen and others were also very confused. They didn't say which prince was coming!
"No, Princess Lantian should have gone south with the Marquis!" Gu Yanzhi said in surprise.
what?
Princess Lantian?
Now everyone is not calm. What is the identity of Princess Lantian? She was the current eldest princess, and her status was even higher than that of the princes.
"Quick, order people to eliminate irrelevant people immediately and protect them. If there is an accident, neither you nor I will be able to survive!" Gu Yanzhi said anxiously.
Liu Rengui and Shen Zhen did not dare to neglect, and quickly sent people to drive away all the irrelevant people, regardless of whether they had any complaints. At this time, who dared to complain?
There are also many territorial lords who have seen the world. When they saw the ceremonial guards on the ship, they immediately understood what was going on. Seeing the soldiers driving away the people, they quickly retreated.
Don't dare to stand up to him at this time. If he is regarded as a suspicious person, he will be killed and no one will say anything!
They never expected that this person was here, and now everyone's heart skipped a beat. Even though the eldest princess was already married, she was still the eldest daughter today. Her status and status were all there. Who dared to look down upon her?
Furthermore, this person not only has the status of a princess, but is also the wife of the Ji family, and will also be in charge of the Ji family's huge family business. Such a person needs status, status, and money. Who dares to be presumptuous? ?
bang~
There was a loud noise, and the huge warship swayed slightly and then stopped.
Soon someone started to build the hanging ladder, and within a short while, a young man in unicorn uniform and an aristocratic woman appeared in front of everyone.
The moment the two of them stepped onto the ground, everyone saluted loudly: "We pay homage to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
"Greetings to the Marquis!"
As soon as the words fell, everyone only heard a voice that sounded like an oriole: "Everyone, please get up. I and my consort are tired from the journey, so we will not entertain you. I will make it up to you when I have the opportunity in the future!"
How dare anyone say no?
"I'll take my leave!"
-
Soon, only Yizhou's senior officials were left on the dock, and everyone else had left.
At this time, Ji Run stepped forward, helped Liu Rengui and others up, and apologized: "It is also a helpless act for the juniors. I hope the elders will not blame them."
Gu Yanzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You, like Mr. Xi, are still so unexpected!"
They didn't expect that Ji Run did this on purpose, just to get rid of those people!
But okay, he felt it was inappropriate before, but now he has achieved his goal, although it is not what he wanted to see.
"Gu Gong, this is my intention. If you want to blame me, blame me!" At this time, Li Yu stepped forward and said.
Gu Yanzhi was shocked when he heard this and said quickly: "I don't dare!"
"Okay, let's go to the city first. We are all our own people, so don't be polite!"
At this time, Liu Rengui, everyone intervened and said with a smile: "That's right, the palace in the city has been prepared, but I don't know that the princess is coming, I'm afraid it will be a little shabby!"
"However, I will definitely re-select the site to build the princess palace, but I'm afraid it's time." Seeing the embarrassed Liu Rengui, Li Yu smiled: "Liu Gong is joking. Although I am a princess, I am also a marquis. My wife, of course, wherever my husband is, I will be here, where can the princess’ palace tell me?”
"Don't forget, I joined the Ji family as a courtesy, not Princess Shang. Don't get confused about this!"
Liu Rengui was stunned and looked at Ji Run.
"Just do what the princess wants. We are new here, so it's better not to waste people and money. Just have a place. If it needs to be built, we can do it ourselves. We won't worry about the Nanhai Dudu Mansion and Chang Shi Mansion."
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing who to listen to, but she was the princess after all. If this spread, they would think that they were treating Her Highness badly.
"I said, what's the matter with your kid's whining? Just do whatever you tell him to do. Where does all the nonsense come from? Why haven't we seen each other for so many years? Where has the fearless aura of his youth gone?"
"Have they all been fed to the fish in the South China Sea?"
At this time, a veteran with his nostrils pointed upward and wearing a suit of armor appeared in front of everyone. Liu Rengui was stunned for a moment. When he saw the face clearly, he said in surprise: "Why is it you? Why are you here too?"
The visitor was none other than Xue Wanche, who was brought to Yizhou by Ji Song.
"Bullshit, others can come, why can't I come? Go quickly, go quickly, I'm starving to death, why don't you feel tired just standing here?"
Li Yu frowned when she heard Xue Wanche's words, but she relaxed quickly.
"That's it, let's go to the city first!"
Everyone looked at each other and could only do this, so they cleared the way in front. Seeing that the princess was curious about everything, Gu Yanzhi acted as a guide and introduced the situation of Jilong Port while walking!
"Princess, please look at that mountain~"
Gu Yanzhi pointed to the high mountain in the distance and said to Li Yu, "What does that mountain look like to you?"
Li Yu was stunned and looked up, only to see a mountain peak shaped like a chicken coop located in the distance.
"Like...a chicken coop?"
"Yes, it's the chicken coop!"
"That's how this place got its name. This mountain is Jilong Mountain, this port is Jilong Port, and this bay is also called Jilong Bay!"
"Jilong Port is a rare natural port in Yizhou. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides. Even if there is a storm, ships here will not be greatly affected."
Li Yu nodded, which was regarded as approval!
"Not only that, there is also a gold mine here. Although the detected reserves are not too large, it is very easy to mine and produces a lot of output every year. In addition, there are also iron ore and copper mines. However, the copper mine has been The imperial court took over”
"Copper mine?"
Li Yu was obviously surprised. The imperial court was now short of copper for more than a day or two. Zhao Guogong was now presiding over the promotion of new coins. Although it was effective, to completely reverse the situation, the imperial court still needed a large amount of copper mines to make up for the gap every year.
If there are other mineral deposits, and this is a fiefdom granted to the father-in-law by the court, then everything here belongs to the Ji family. But if it’s a copper mine, I’m afraid no one would dare to steal it!
"I didn't expect that this remote place would be so rich in products? It can be seen that rumors are very harmful!" Li Yu said with emotion.
Gu Yanzhi has obviously done a lot of homework and knows the situation in Yizhou very well.
"This is because there is a natural port, otherwise the governance should be placed in Tamsui. Tamsui is located on the coast of the hinterland of Yizhou. It is a rare plain area. It is not only rich in products, but also the land is fertile. Rice grows three times a year. It’s normal to be familiar with it,”
"It can be said that as long as Yizhou develops, it will be more than enough to feed millions of people."
Everyone was talking and soon came to a city. This city was not big and was equivalent to an ordinary county town in the Central Plains. But here, it is a rare big city.
"Taicheng? Why is it called this?"
When Li Yu thought about it, the mountain was called Jilong Mountain and the port was called Jilong Port. So of course the city should be called Jilong City. How could it be Taicheng?
Everyone looked at each other. They really didn't know this. Anyway, they just followed the names listed in the court documents. Who has nothing to do with this?
"Ahem~ I know a little bit about this!"
Ji Run coughed and said, "This should be the name given by my father!"
"What? The name given by my father-in-law?" Li Yu asked in surprise.
"That's right. Whatever dad calls it is called a chicken coop. It's very unpleasant. People who don't know better think it's for raising chickens. Plus there's an indigenous tribe here called the Taiwowan tribe. There were a lot of chicken coops in the early days of the city. Because of its strength, it was called Taicheng."
Everyone was stunned, didn't expect it to be like this?
But it doesn't hurt. Besides, if the name of this city is Jilong City, it would be too ugly. Taicheng is great, and this place is much higher than the sea, and looks like a high platform, so it is well-deserved to be called Taicheng.
Although the city is not big, although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.
Walking into the city, I saw that the layout here is different from that of the Central Plains city. It is not divided into cities and towns, but there are many residences located randomly!
"It made the princess laugh!"
Gu Yanzhi smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't expect this place to be so chaotic. I just randomly drew a circle on the original site and then started building the city wall. There was no plan at all!"
Having said this, Shen Zhen looked up at the sky, as if it had nothing to do with him. Anyway, that’s it, watch it or not!
Ji Run suppressed a smile and said: "It doesn't matter, it's just a small city. I didn't plan to put my base here in the first place!"
Without waiting for anyone to ask, he said: "This is a good port and a good trading place, but it is not a good residence."
"I saw the map of Yizhou when I came here. Although it is close to the mainland, don't forget the role of Yizhou!"
"Yizhou is the bridgehead for supervising overseas territories. It would be a bit out of place to place it here. The future governance should be in the south, so it will only become a trading center."
"In addition, the East China Sea Fleet that is about to be formed will also be stationed here, but most of the people are in the central part. Therefore, I decided to place the headquarters in the south-central location and find a Feng Shui treasure land near the mountains and rivers to build a city. I have a name for it. Once it’s done, we’ll call it Tainan City.”
