Ji Tang

Chapter 192 Reward?

All the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit, and the prosperity of the world is for profit.

The wisdom of the ancients is really amazing. As early as thousands of years ago, people in the past knew that if you want a horse to run, you have to give it grass.

But even with this simple principle of everyone getting what they need, many people are still unwilling to pay.The greed of human nature is endless and has no bottom line. Without the control of the superiors, if these people are allowed to do whatever they want, the people at the bottom will suffer.

Ji Song did not go home. Seeing that it was still early, he planned to go to meet the emperor before going home.

Li Shimin has been very busy during this period. He needs to make decisions on the prevention of locust plagues, droughts and floods in Shandong, and the deployment of border defenses.

"Your Majesty, the good times are coming!"

Hearing Chen Shou's words, Li Shimin paused and said with some surprise: "Hasn't he been staying in Haowei County like this? How come he has time to come to me? Forget it, let him come in!"

"promise!"

"My lord, Ji Song pays homage to your majesty. May your majesty live forever!" Ji Song was still so meticulous in his salute. This was what his teacher taught him. He still understood the principle of accompanying a king like a tiger.

"Encourage me! Tell me, you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for any reason. What happened this time?" Li Shimin put down the memorial in his hand, stood up, and said to Ji Song.

"I am reporting victory to Your Majesty. The farming affairs in Haojue County are finally over. Your Majesty has to make up your mind about any further instructions. I don't dare to be expert in it!" Ji Song handed over the memorial that he had already prepared. , replied.

Li Shimin did not speak, but read Ji Song's memorial seriously.Looking at the clearly explained data and clear-cut measures above, and the rigid font that can be regarded as a school of its own.

Every time I read, I feel as comfortable as drinking nectar. If every minister could be like Ji Song, I would be much more relaxed.

But he knew that this was not possible for the time being. After writing memorials all his life, it was impossible for them to suddenly change their style of painting, even if he was the emperor!

After reading it, Li Shimin sighed deeply.

It's not that I'm disappointed with the above things, but Ji Song did a great job and there's nothing to fault at all. It's really gratifying and helpless!

The entire 25 acres of cultivated land was completed in less than 20 days.In one month, even the final replanting matters were completed.

He knew that as long as the harvest was completed before next May, the imperial court would be able to produce at least nearly [-] dans of more grain.You must know that this is just one county. If dozens of counties in Guanzhong complete their reclamation tasks, as long as there is no severe famine, there will be no shortage of food in Guanzhong!
What shocked Li Shimin even more was that these fields were fertile fields that could be irrigated at any time.He really didn't know how to reward him for such a great achievement.

He is not planning to be promoted to a noble title. Being too young and having a noble title that is too high is not a good thing for him.Money made him angry when he talked about it. This boy was simply the reincarnation of the God of Wealth.

Ever since Cheng Yaojin, an old man, opened a restaurant using Ji's dishes, the cooks of the Haojuhou Mansion have been kidnapped every few days.Today it belongs to the Li Jing family, tomorrow it belongs to the Yuchi family, and the day after tomorrow it belongs to the Fang family, the Du family, and the Changsun family.

Every half month, I put it back absolutely on time.Then, there will be one more restaurant in Chang'an City, and like the Cheng family, the share price will be [-]%.

Although the Ji family does not open a restaurant, these families together make the boy the most.

I originally wanted to beat them up, but what's shameful is that the Queen's people saw that the restaurant's business was booming, so they even tied up the Ji family's cook.

At this time, he could only pretend not to know, but don't even think about getting [-]% of the shares. If you have the ability, you can go to the queen, as long as you, Ji Song, can afford that person.I have nothing to reward others, but not giving rewards is against the rules, and people outside are watching!Basically all the officials in Sinong Temple have rewards, but Ji Song does not. This is unreasonable!

He didn't want to listen to those officials talking nonsense tomorrow morning, but what exactly was the reward?

"Things went really well this time, and I was not disappointed. Whatever reward you want, as long as it's not too much, I'll grant it." If you can't think of it, then don't think about it and let him go on his own.

Ji Song was stunned. Aren't these rewards the right of the superior?Why is it your choice to come here?

After thinking for a long time, Ji Song didn't know what he wanted?But he didn't want to do it. He knew that it would be difficult for him to reward the emperor. After all, where could such great achievements be shown? It couldn't be justified if he had nothing.

"I want to form a navy of the Tang Dynasty!" Ji Song suddenly raised his head and said.

"Navy? An army sailing on the sea?" Li Shimin immediately understood the role of the navy.

But he still wondered: "Why is this? The Tang Dynasty has a navy, and it is pretty good. Is it necessary to form a navy?"

This idea was an idea he had long ago. If he wanted the people of the Central Plains Dynasty to have enough to eat, they had to get a few things from the other side of the ocean.

There was also the powerful arithmetic knowledge of that civilization, which was also the intellectual nourishment that Datang urgently needed.At this time, Confucianism in the Tang Dynasty had not yet reached the level of cannibalism in later generations during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and arithmetic also received great attention in the Tang Dynasty.

Arithmetic is the foundation of all basic subjects. With the accumulation of that civilization for thousands of years, Datang will definitely take a different path.

Thinking of this, Ji Song looked a little excited and said: "Your Majesty, the navy is not the navy. The navy is just an army that is king in the inland rivers, while the navy is an invincible fleet that roams the sea. There is no comparison."

"As Mingzhou Port becomes more and more prosperous, more and more ships come and go, but our Tang Dynasty does not have an army to sail on the sea. This is not good!"

"Why not?" Li Shimin seemed to have heard some clues, but he still didn't quite understand.

Ji Song knew that this was the limitation of people in this era and did not know the importance of the sea and a powerful navy to the country.

He explained: "Your Majesty, think about it. At this time, many countries from outside the region have come to Datang on sea ships. In comparison, our Datang has no ships for long voyages. In the long run, our shipbuilding technology will be surpassed, and Other countries are getting stronger and stronger."

"When one day another country comes to Datang with a fleet that far exceeds the ships of our country, what can you think of, Your Majesty?"

Without waiting for Li Shimin's answer, he continued: "When our navy cannot resist, then the tens of thousands of miles of coastline along the southeastern coast of Datang will become a battlefield where enemy fleets can roam freely, as if entering an uninhabited land.

And we can only watch them showing off their power on the sea, but there is nothing we can do, Your Majesty! "

Li Shimin stared at Ji Song blankly, listening to the scene that Ji Song seemed to have witnessed with his own eyes, and in his mind he imagined the other party's ships burning, killing and looting on the coast of Datang, and he was helpless.

He felt shuddered when he thought of how every time he received news and the army arrived, but the other party calmly left by boat, and his generals could only look away and sigh!

No, such a thing can never happen in Datang, never!
　I just returned to the hotel today and went to bed. Everyone, go to bed early!
