Ji Tang

Chapter 508 I can’t stop you
Li Shimin was deep in thought. When his eldest grandson came out, he didn't see the emperor. After asking, he knew he was here.

This is a mound no more than ten feet high, but it is the highest point in the entire Jijia Village.

Taking the mound as the boundary, Zhuangzi is divided into two parts, the north and the south.

To the south is a small, low-lying basin, where all the people on Zhuangzi live. A small river flows from west to east, and then flows to other places from a narrow place in the east.

Perhaps to store water, a pond was dug out at the lowest point in Zhuangzi. The area was not large, only about three or four acres of land.

But the whole Zhuangzi looks much more pleasing to the eye. If there is a Feng Shui master here, he will definitely say that it is an excellent Feng Shui treasure place to hide the wind and accept the water.

The trees in Zhuangzi are arranged regularly, neither empty nor gloomy, giving it a clean and peaceful atmosphere.

There are groups of children in the village, playing with each other, laughing and having fun, which always makes people feel sincerely at peace.

Ji's School in the distance has been expanded several times and is now the largest school in the surrounding area. The original three buildings have now become a school covering an area of ​​[-] acres.

Nearly three hundred students receive enlightenment education here. Elite students will enter Taibai Academy to continue their studies, and others will enter various industries, shipyards, caravans, or do some business on their own.

Nowadays, most children from the Xungui family will send their children to study here after they are six years old. If they study well, they will go to Taibai Academy. If they do not study well, they will follow the family's arrangements peacefully, either joining the army or serving as local officials.

If the mud really can't hold up the wall, then stay at home honestly. Anyway, there is no shortage of food like you at home, so just keep it.

But it’s also like this for your whole life. If you want to be an official or join the army, I’m sorry, it’s better to just hang out at home and wait to die, so as not to harm your family.

These years of education have made everyone recognize Ji's Academy's achievements in enlightenment.

Strict school rules, an elite education system, and a fierce competitive environment. As long as they can survive six years intact, even the worst students will be rare talents outside.

With so many talents, Ji Song did not control them in his own hands. Except for his own students of the Ji family, he did not care about anyone else, and even if he did, it would not be his turn.

After all, most of them are children of the Xungui family. Their families have already arranged their lives, and even the emperor can't do anything about it.

Many of the teachers were the first batch of students. After all, everyone has their own ambitions, and not everyone wants to take risks.

Some gentlemen were forced in by Li Shimin himself, and Ji Song couldn't refuse.

Anyway, everything is on the right track, and he doesn't need to take everything into his own hands. That is the way to death.

"Why are you here?"

After all, the eldest grandson has been pampered for a long time and has shortness of breath. A small mound of earth can make her a little breathless.

"There are some things that I just can't understand, but when I saw these, I suddenly understood."

He pointed at Zhuangzi and said.

Then he supported Changsun and turned around to look at the back of the mound.

"This is the foundation of Ji's strength!"

To be honest, it would be a lie to say that I am not jealous.

But he knew that these things seemed to be in Ji's Zhuangzi, and Ji Song or Hao Jiehou Mansion did not have much share.

Now there are many workshops that have nothing to do with Hao Jiehou Mansion.

The ten-year agreement back then was more about protection than Ji Song's tactics.

At that time, the Ji family was still very weak, and the slightest disturbance could lead to disaster.

With the status of these people at that time, if Ji Song had not been behind to protect them, they would have been eaten by others. How could they wait until now to develop and grow?
Just like Ji Liuniang, a mere widow who was kicked out by her husband's family, but now she has become one of the few silk merchants in the Tang Dynasty.She also researched how to make colorful silk and instantly became one of the giants in the silk industry. The better thing is that she did not rush to break the existing pattern of Datang.

Instead, they very cleverly used Mingzhou Port to export to overseas countries without causing any conflicts with the local silk merchants of the Tang Dynasty.

You must know that these traditional industries are basically controlled by aristocratic families. It is not easy to take food from them.

"Yes, who would have thought that a young boy back then would have such a fortune now."

The eldest grandson was also filled with emotions.

"By the way, what did that kid say to you? How could he bother you so much?"

Based on his understanding of the emperor, it would be impossible for him to express such emotion if it were not a major event!

Li Shimin did not speak, but looked in the direction of Zhuangzi again.

How he wished that all Zhuangzi in the world were like this, but he knew that this was impossible, because there was only one good man, Ji Song, in the world.

Sometimes he thought that if he were released as governor of a state, there would be a wealthy state within three years.

Forget it, let’s wait for a few years!
Some things can't be accomplished just by what he wants. Many people originally complained about Ji Song's delay in awarding him a reward, thinking that he, the emperor, treated his meritorious officials harshly.

If that kid is released now, who knows what he will say about himself!

"When the little monkey is older, you can take him into the palace and train him personally!"

Li Shimin said suddenly.

The eldest grandson was stunned, looked at Zhuangzi and hesitated: "Isn't this bad? After all, he has only one seedling in his family."

"Don't worry, it seems I can't keep this kid. I hope he can come back safely!"

How could he not know what the eldest grandson's words meant? It was just a single seedling. Is this a bit too much?
But this is all he can do. Once Ji Song leaves, those ghosts and monsters will definitely come out to cause trouble. He can only rest assured if he takes the little monkey with him.

The eldest grandson was shocked when he heard this and said hurriedly: "Didn't you let him go? Why did you let him go now?"

She knew that Ji Song had always wanted to go to sea, and she did not hesitate to resist the order many times. Last time, she was even embarrassed in front of Tang Jian.

But why do you agree now?

Li Shimin said angrily: "You think I think so? This boy is as smelly and hard as the stones in the latrine, and now he is proposing reasons that I can't refuse."

"Anyway, I can't stop you this time, and I don't want to stop you either."

The eldest grandson was even more curious. What could even the emperor not refuse?
As if he knew what she was going to ask, Li Shimin said directly: "Things that can bring Datang to a higher level."

After saying that, he warned: "Don't spread this matter to anyone. Although I don't really believe it, I believe in this kid. Let's wait until he comes back to talk about everything!"

The eldest grandson nodded, indicating that he understood.

She knows what's appropriate. Since the emperor said this, it's not something she should know.

"Let's go!"

Li Shimin supported his eldest grandson and prepared to go down, then looked back at the workshop behind him.

Suddenly he smiled and said: "You want me to agree? Then it depends on whether you can earn your temper or not."

I don't know what he was thinking, but he burst out laughing, which made his eldest grandson confused!
