Ji Tang

Chapter 285

Ji Songke didn't give him time to react, and continued: "As a junior, I didn't want to say it, but your body can't stand it when you play and sing every night. It's better to be more restrained. Don't wait until you return to Chang'an. My brother has gained a few more brothers and sisters.”

"I heard that my aunt's temper is not very good, but don't worry, my nephew will definitely persuade her when the time comes."

"After all, you can be considered as 'sacrifice for the country', so it's not a big problem. I believe my aunt can understand your difficulties."

"Those Turkic women are actually very lucky. They are all alive this time. My nephew has already arranged for them. When the weather gets warmer, he will send them back to the customs."

"After all, she is a barbarian woman and does not understand the etiquette of our Tang Dynasty. It would be a good idea to send her back first and let her aunt teach her."

"You said, is this the truth?"

"You" Tang Jian was shaking all over, pointing at Ji Song and being so angry that he couldn't say a word.

"Ah! Uncle, what's wrong with you?" Ji Songshen thought it was because he was so grateful that he was speechless.

"You don't have to say anything grateful. This is what my nephew should do." Ji Song looked disapproving. Those who didn't know it thought he was thinking about himself!

Looking at the trembling old man Tang, Ji Song wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Tang Jian's loud shout.

"Zhuzi, I will fight with you."

Ji Song had slowly moved his legs out a long time ago. When he saw Tang Jian's action, he ran out immediately.

He also shouted: "Uncle, there is no need to be so excited. Hey, hey, don't do anything!"

It wasn't until half an hour later that Tang Jian looked at Ji Song, who was resting, and then at himself, who had no strength at all, and suddenly felt why he didn't learn martial arts in the first place?
Ji Song straightened up his somewhat scattered sleeves, and said to Old Man Tang as if nothing was wrong, "Is uncle relieved now?"

It seemed that Tang Jian was really angry just now, and he wanted to fight him when he got up, but with Ji Song's ability, he didn't even touch a corner of his clothes.

Finally, Li Jing and others couldn't stand it anymore, so they pulled the stubborn old man away.

"You have the guts to stop and don't move!" Old Tang, who had no strength, refused to admit defeat.

"All right."

Li Jing really couldn't stand it anymore. He originally came to Ji Song to talk about something, but before they even started talking, Tang Jian himself was taken to the ditch by Ji Song. How could we talk about it?
Old Man Tang rested for a while, and then he gained some strength. He arranged his clothes and sat there again as if nothing had happened.

Alas, they are engaged in diplomacy after all, but their inner qualities are different.

If it were anyone else, it would have taken a few days to recover without all the protection!
"Come and sit down too." Li Jing pointed to the seat and said to Ji Song.

The position happened to be opposite the old man. When he saw Ji Song, he snorted coldly and ignored him.

Ji Song doesn't care. If you don't say anything, I can't wait to do it. If you try another cruel trick, Ji Song will be really numb. Who knows that he is a junior?

At this age, being a junior is at a disadvantage. If you do poorly, you will be said to be incompetent and you have to practice. But if you do well, you will be said to be disrespectful and do not know how to let it go. Anyway, it is a double-edged sword.

Therefore, Ji Song rarely hangs out with these old guys. He prefers to hang out with those second-generation people. Is that okay?What a lie!
Li Jing and Li Ji exchanged glances, and both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

This kid is so cunning. Originally, we were quite strong when we joined forces, but we must be at a disadvantage when facing Tang Jian.

But before that happened, Old Man Tang was defeated. Chai Shao knew that there was no hope when he saw that it was none of his business.

As for the idiot Xue Wanche, thank God if he didn't do anything bad. Didn't he wink at that kid crazily as soon as he came in?Do you really think that you and others are blind?
It's okay now, only the two of us are going into battle in person.

"Okay, I won't beat around the bush anymore." Li Jing said to Ji Song with a straight look on his face.

Ji Song couldn't comment and motioned for him to continue.

"This time the soldiers suffered heavy losses. Not to mention those who were killed in battle, there are currently between 5000 and [-] disabled people, and this does not count as minor injuries." Li Jing said solemnly.Ji Song's expression paused. He knew all this. After all, he was the general manager of the rear army, and these wounded soldiers were sent to the rear army for treatment.

But it is a pity that with the current medical conditions and the level of a doctor, it would be good to save his life, and forget about other things.

He didn't even know how many people's hands and feet he had cut off, and there were so many fingers and toes that he couldn't even count them.

But what can be done, and why do so few fight in the winter?

It's not because the biggest enemy fighting in winter is not other things, but the ubiquitous severe cold. Most of these people suffer from frostbite.

Many soldiers' wounds have long been necrotic. If they are not cut off quickly, the inflammation alone can kill them.

It can be said that as long as these people return to the Tang Dynasty, they will basically be kicked out of the army and can only go home to farm. They will never go to the battlefield again in this life. It is good to take care of themselves.

But what does this have to do with me?
Seeing Ji Song's confused expression, Li Jing said directly: "The court has no money."

"what?"

Ji Song stood up immediately, pointed at Li Jing and said angrily: "What do you mean by this?"

"It's what you think. What else can there be besides this?" Li Jing said in a deep voice.

Got it, Ji Song got it all.

The words "The court has no money" may seem simple, but they already explain a lot of problems.

If the court has no money, the rewards for the soldiers will be less or none.

Although there were meritorious fields for post-war resettlement, this time was different. There were too many disabled people, and many of them no longer had the ability to take care of themselves.

Divide the fields?People have to plant the fields, but crops will not grow on the fields.

But these people no longer have the ability to farm. If the court cannot come up with money to settle them and ensure their future expenses, then they will have no choice but to wait for death when they return home.

During this period, many people are thinking about committing suicide because they don't want to drag down their families.

Ji Song was silent for a long time and said in a harsh voice: "What should we do?"

Silence, the only sound left in the entire tent was their breathing.

"Brother Song, I know what you are capable of. Just think of a way. It's so damn miserable."

Xue Wanche's eyes were red and he stared at Ji Song. For him, the only way for him to deal with this kind of thing was his brother. He had no choice at all.

Every time he saw the numb eyes of those people, he would feel panicked. Sometimes he couldn't bear it anymore and ran out to have fun, only to come back exhausted.

"I have already written to Pingyang, asking her to send all the money to the palace, but this is just a drop in the bucket!" Chai Shao said helplessly.

I usually think that my family has a lot of money, but now I realize that it is just a drop in the bucket and is useless.

"I owe you a favor this time. The people who came with me didn't even know what their mission was until they died, but I can't help it!"

"They were killed without knowing it by Jie Li who couldn't find me to vent his anger. They didn't know why until they died."

Ji Song suddenly stood up and walked directly out the door!
"Brother Song, you"

"Okay, what's his temperament that you don't understand yet? Let him be alone!" Chai Shao interrupted Xue Wanche who was about to say something and said helplessly.
