Ji Tang

Chapter 1449: The knot in my heart has been knotted, and I’m going crazy!
When Ji Song learned that these two people had arrived in Mingzhou, he couldn't laugh or cry for a while, especially after hearing about their "glorious" deeds along the way. He just didn't know if she would give her a lesson when they returned to Chang'an. Or was the eldest grandson 'mentioned'?
"The head of the family, His Royal Highness King Wei bought the second young master's original residence and lived in it openly."

Ji Song was silent for a while after hearing this, and sighed: "You are so determined!"

As a sealed mansion, no one thought of buying it or selling it to the court. But those who know about it are evil-minded but not courageous, and those who don't know about it will naturally come to him to 'drink tea', and then no one will care about him.

It's not that Ji didn't want to buy it, but the emperor had just condemned the owner and ordered him to be banished, so he bought it back in the blink of an eye, and the appearance was too ugly.

Therefore, we can only let it decay, and perhaps it will become an abandoned house in a few years. Now that Li Tai bought it, he naturally knew that it was Li Tai's good intention. That guy has an arrogant temper. He has obviously done good things, but he insists on making people laugh or cry.

"I know about this, tell the people below, that's it!"

Danniu is indispensable. To the Ji family, it is just a house, but the meaning it represents is different. It is the ancestral home of the southern clan of the Ji family, and it is now and will be in the future.

Now the second young master and the second wife have gone to sea, but they will definitely come back in the future. Even if there is a high probability that they will not be able to come back in the future, it is not difficult to send an heir to rebuild the southern sect of the Ji family.

"Go tell Madam and the others to return to the mainland in three days. They won't be able to come out for a long time this time. Let them go wherever they want. There won't be many opportunities in the future!"

Daniel didn't understand the solemnity and helplessness in Ji Song's words, and thought that the owner was tired of playing and didn't plan to come out soon.

Not long after Daniel walked back, Ji Run came to the study and saw her father deep in thought. She didn't even notice him coming and didn't bother him. She just picked up a book and started reading!

"What's wrong with you?"

After half a quarter of an hour, Ji Song finally woke up and was not surprised to see Ji Run, so he said directly.

"Dad, I heard that Uncle Danniu said you are leaving?"

Then he said with some complaints and reluctance: "You have only been here for a few days, and you are leaving now? Can't you stay for a while longer?"

Ji Song looked at the aggrieved eldest son with a smile on his face: "You are already the father of the child, why are you still acting like a little girl? When you grow up and have your own ideals, even as a father, you can help Nothing more for you.”

"Young eagles should yearn for the sky, and tigers should roar in the mountains. You have your own way to go, and as a father you have to spend the rest of your life slowly."

"There are some things that my father didn't know how to tell you, and I was afraid of damaging your enthusiasm, but I'd better tell you before we say goodbye!"

Ji Song came to the eldest son, looking at his son who was of the same height as him, and felt very happy in his heart. Ji's genes were good, and he had received royal education since childhood. He was calm and steady, and had both civil and military skills. However, with his status, he could only live in the family for the rest of his life. The rules are in this prison.

This is not what I want to see, but it is what Li Shimin, Li Chengqian and Changsun want to see.

If he wants to wear the crown, he must bear its weight. This is the price he must bear as the legitimate son of the Ji family and the future prince of the Tang Dynasty.

"Father, tell me!"

Ji Run was stunned, but still said seriously: "My child doesn't know what's going on, but my father will never harm him."

"Sit down!"

Ji Song put his hands behind his back and said thoughtfully: "What do you think of Yizhou?"

"Yizhou? Isn't this our fiefdom?" Ji Run said without hesitation: "This place is rich in products. Not only is it not far from the mainland, it also guards the maritime transportation artery. As long as it is built well, it will be no worse than Mingzhou and Dengzhou in the future. , of course we need to build it well.”

Ji Song was speechless and said for a moment: "Then what if one day he no longer belongs to us?"

"what?"

Ji Run stood up from the chair, holding back his anger and said: "Who? Who dares to rob my Ji family's things? Dad, tell me, you must tear him apart!"

He has been in Yizhou for several years and has already regarded this place as his own. He has spent all his efforts to build, immigrate, open up wasteland, and overcome obstacles. Anyone who dares to rob it will definitely make him regret coming to this world.

Ji Song opened his mouth. He really couldn't bear to say it. Now it seems that Yizhou is just a big island to the imperial court, and few people pay attention to it. But when it develops in the future, it will probably become like a hungry wolf. Pounce.

Even the royal family probably wouldn't let Ji Song continue to be in charge of Yizhou.

But this is too cruel to Ji Run. It's like watching a child grow up step by step. From learning the language to becoming an adult, she thought he would always be her child, but suddenly one day this place no longer belongs to her. Then Wouldn’t all his previous hard work and efforts have been in vain?
Ji Song knew how much this kid had sacrificed over the years, and asking him to give up would be as cruel as asking him to give up on his ideal of proving himself.

Hearing his father's words, Ji Run had doubts in his eyes and wanted to ask something, but was interrupted by Ji Song.

"Okay, before I leave, my father has a few words of advice for you. Listen to it. If you think it's right, think about it more. If you think it's useless, just think that your father is talking nonsense!"

Without waiting for Ji Run to speak, he continued: "When His Majesty asked you and Yu'er to come to Yizhou, firstly, he wanted to sit in the southeastern sea and intimidate many territories on the sea. Secondly, he also wanted you to take charge of the South China Sea Navy Fleet and give you more qualifications. It will be very convenient for you to get promoted to a higher position in the future.”

"So, don't put too much thought into building Yizhou, and go to the sea more often. During this period, I have seen too many territories, various development models, various governance systems and ideas. This Some of them are good and some are bad, and some even as a father can’t see clearly and don’t know what they will be like in the future. It can be said to be an eye-opener.”

"In the end, it's better to go and see it in person than what you hear. As someone who manages the overseas territories of the imperial court, it's your duty to inspect it. Even if they are dissatisfied, they won't do anything to you."

"Don't forget your use, and don't let your father-in-law down. Your future burden will be very heavy, very heavy. Go and see more. Don't care how ridiculous and incomprehensible their ruling methods are. Don't care. Datang needs them to find a way, a way suitable for the present and the future.”

"Although the overseas territories are small, they are well-equipped. With the verification of time, good things will always stay and come to the end. Now we just watch and don't care about anything else. As long as we follow the original agreement and don't do anything If anything goes against Chinese civilization, everything else can be tolerated."

Ji Song talked a lot that night, and Ji Run also listened very seriously. It was the first time he discovered how wise his father was. Before, he had heard others say how wise and far-sighted your father was.

But his father had never said so many words to himself. From these words, he seemed to see the evolution of ten years, a hundred years, and a thousand years. He saw the laws of change in the world, and he also understood that he must learn to analyze things from different angles. When you don't understand, don't care too much, don't interfere too much, just watch and watch their ending.
You Ning came here several times. When he heard the conversation between his husband and his son, he smiled slightly and turned around and left. Only his eldest daughter-in-law brought some food. Li Yu eavesdropped for a while, and Ji Song didn't care, but the more he listened, the more confused he became. He understood every word, but practicing it was like listening to a book from heaven. In the end, he couldn't stand it any longer, so he left now. ! When Ji Run returned to the room, not only did she not feel sleepy at all in the middle of the night, she was even more energetic. Li Yu, who had been waiting for her husband, finally couldn't help but asked curiously: "What were you talking to dad about? Have you been talking for so long?"

Ji Run glanced at him and said amusedly: "Didn't you hear everything? I didn't avoid you!"

"Hmph, are you going to tell me or not?" Li Yu became angry because of shame. If she understood, why would she ask you?

"Don't tell me, this is my Ji family's family tradition. Don't even think about passing it on from male to female!"

Ji Run's words completely made Li Yu go berserk. Gritting his teeth, he pushed him down on the bed. He immediately turned into a tiger and vowed to let someone hold on to the wall tomorrow.

However, he overestimated his physical strength. The next day, Ji Run felt refreshed and left the room, leaving only Li Yu who slept like a dead pig and couldn't even wake up.——
The three huge ships slowly left the port. Ji Run and Li Yu, with their child Li Shuo, watched everyone leave from Matou Mountain.

"Let's go. The children have grown up and have their own place to go. As parents, we really shouldn't interfere too much." Ji Song comforted his wife by hugging her shoulders.

"I know, but..."

The two hugged each other tightly, getting farther and farther away from the port, until they could no longer be seen.

I sent my wife to the cabin to rest. As soon as I came out, I saw Lao Sun looking at the bow of the ship. During this time, he and his apprentice Ji Hao were running around in the mountains of Yizhou. He said that the earth's energy was rising here and there must be many beautiful bells. Good medicinal materials. So he disappeared the day after he arrived and didn't return to the city until a few days ago.

"What? Haven't you stayed enough?" Ji Song said teasingly.

Sun Simiao ignored him and waited for a long time before he hesitated and said: "This is a good place. Once it develops, it will be no worse than Mingzhou and Dengzhou. Coupled with the geographical location, it can feed tens of millions of people."

"So what do you want to say?"

Ji Song looked faintly at the increasingly faint black shadow in the distance and said to himself: "I know that sooner or later this place will no longer belong to the Ji family, but not now."

"You know everything?" Sun Simiao said in surprise.

"Of course I know, I've known it from the beginning, but so what? Can I refuse? The consequences of refusal are not something I can bear. If you don't even want such a large fiefdom, what does Ji want?"

"Do you know how many people in the court breathed a sigh of relief knowing that the fiefdom is on an overseas island? In their eyes, going overseas means being exiled and fading out of the court."

"But they don't know that this is a treasure land, a treasure island."

"When they see the amazing potential of this place, they will regret it sooner or later, and the emperor is no exception!"

Coming from a later generation, he certainly knew the amazing potential hidden under this land. In addition, his geographical location was the most important. As the most important part of the ancestral property in the first island chain off the coast of the mainland, its important status will be truly reflected when the Age of Discovery arrives.

"Do you know how much effort Run'er has put into this place? In his opinion, this is his thing, the fiefdom of the Ji family. From a handsome young man to a rough-skinned man now, do you know how much he has put into it? What?"

"Run'er has been destined to live in wealth and honor for his whole life from the moment he was born. He must be knowledgeable, civilized and martial. He longs to be recognized and understood by the world. He, Ji Run, is not useless because of his father's cuteness. They are idiots, but they are talented people who can govern the country with their literary skills and bring peace to their country with their military skills.”

"And this is the place that proves him and the place where his dream starts. Therefore, in my lifetime, no one can touch this place, not even the emperor!"

Sun Simiao looked at Ji Song steadily. For the first time, he saw persistence in Ji Song's eyes, which seemed incredible to him. Ji Song, who has always been indifferent to external things, when did he become so persistent?
"It's hard to understand, isn't it? In fact, it's not difficult to understand. Just think of me as a father who protects his calf."

Sun Simiao smiled bitterly and sighed: "You, no wonder you have friends everywhere. It seems that you don't care, but everyone is convinced of you. The same is true for the three generations of emperors, and so are Lu Guogong and E Guogong."

"Being your friend really makes people feel at ease!"

Ji Song smiled and said undeniably: "I don't ask for much in this life. At first, I just wanted Ji to stop worrying about food and clothing. But things are fickle and some things cannot be stopped once they start. The first half of my life was People push forward, and as they walk, they look back, but they are getting further and further away from their original ideal.”

"I am like this, the world is like this, so why aren't you like this?"

Sun Simiao couldn't come to his senses for a long time. He recalled that when he was a child, he was sent to a Taoist temple to recuperate because of his frailty. He thought he would go home to marry a wife and have children after he recovered. For this reason, he also obtained a meritorious service.

But at that time, aristocratic families were in power, and there was no place for children from poor families to gain a foothold. He gradually became disappointed, from disappointment to despair, and finally saw through the secular world, joined Taoism, and became a Taoist priest.

But he was not willing to waste his life in vain, so he studied medicine and pharmacology. As the saying goes, the flowers planted with intention will not bloom, but willows planted with no intention will form shade. Who would have thought that the frail boy would become the miracle doctor of the Tang Dynasty and be respected everywhere.

He had countless people in his life, and even the emperor of the dynasty treated him with courtesy, but he no longer had the original intention to become an official? Haha, I am a wild road in the mountains, what can the world do to me!

The original ideal has become something he avoids and hates now. The world can no longer restrain him. It was only then that he realized that this was his destination.

But Ji Song.
Glancing at Ji Song, who was in his late fifties but looked like he was in his early thirties, if he didn't know that he had already mastered Taoist guidance skills and had the ability to maintain his appearance, he would have doubted whether there really were gods in this world.

"Ziyi, you are different. You have the ability to change the world, and you have the courage and wisdom to take Chinese civilization to a higher level. The mountains and wilderness are not the place you should go."

Ji Song didn't answer. During this period of time, he was tossing around everywhere, and he gradually saw his own heart clearly.

He has a vision and knowledge reserve that is unmatched by anyone in the world, and he does have the ability to make this big empire go further. But over the years, he has been afraid of wolves and tigers, and he has always been worried that undermining his efforts, China's carriage will sail on an unknown road.

But now he figured it out, now that he's here, if nothing changes, wouldn't it be a waste of time. As the saying goes, talented people emerge from generation to generation, and each leads the way for hundreds of years. The matters of future generations will be left to future generations. He believes that future generations will have solutions, and what he has to do is to lay a good foundation so that future generations will make fewer mistakes. He doesn't know how many more years his experience can guide Datang. Maybe better, maybe worse.

But he didn't care anymore, so the long-planned plan in his heart once again paid new attention to it. He knew that once the plan started, it might take a hundred years to see the results, but once it came to fruition, it would definitely be earth-shaking.
Looking into the distance, he suddenly felt a deep sense of expectation. When the carriage of Chinese civilization begins to race wildly, what kind of story will happen?
