Ji Tang

Chapter 551 You Ning goes to court!

Ji Song has a lot of leisure time. How is it possible for people who have eaten meat to become vegetarians?
When you take them south, or after they see the wealth here, it's like opening Pandora's box, and it's basically impossible to control it.
The aristocratic family's greed has no end. Even if Ji Song doesn't allow it, they will try their best to sneak across or find someone to cooperate, and they will come again.
It is impossible to prevent it, but restrictions are still possible.
"Turn over [-]% as tax!"

Ji Song stood up, looked around at everyone, and said.

Stopping everyone who wanted to speak, he said: "This is not a discussion with you. If you don't agree, others will naturally agree. You are not the only choice for me or the court!"

"This is my request. You don't have to rush to reply. We can go back and discuss it with someone who can handle the matter."

Having said this, Ji Song was about to leave, but as if he thought of something, he patted his forehead and said, "By the way, you have also seen that there are only so many resources. If everyone comes in droves, I'm afraid it won't be long before we are here." It will be a white space.”

"So, of course there must be restrictions."

"Eighteen."

"The Jiangdong Family will only select eighteen families, and there will be an assessment every three years. Those who fail will be replaced by suitable families from other families."

Ji Song left, but the quietness of the cabin could be heard.

Only then did everyone realize that they had been led by Ji Song again, whether it was the opportunity to go south to exchange for food, or the restrictions on the aristocratic family, one after another, they were completely devoured.
Even if you see through it now, what can you do?

Manager Zhang coughed and said first, "Ahem! From my point of view, we can't agree on anything here. We should ask the head of the family for instructions when we go back."

Manager Gu also smiled and said: "Brother Zhang is right. We are just in charge. We are not sure about this matter. Instead of wasting time here, it is better to go back early."

"Ha ha!"

"Of course you won't worry about the quota because of your relationship with the Marquis. To put it nicely, don't forget that you will be hated if you eat alone."

At this time, someone said in a dark voice.

The manager of the Zhang family was not angry and said with a smile: "You can't blame us. We all went to Chang'an to pay homage to the Marquis, but some people were blind, so who can blame us?"

"That's right. As a human being, it's better not to be careless."

After saying this, the two of them ignored everyone's embarrassed expressions, bowed to everyone, and strode out of the cabin.

After that, the Wu family, Zhou family, Gao family and other families also left one after another, leaving only the people who had joined Xiao Yu's family with pale faces.
After Ji Song finished speaking, he ignored them. If he did something wrong, he would have to pay the price, although he came a little late.

The rest of the journey was uneventful, not even a big storm, as if God knew that hundreds of thousands of people were waiting for this batch of food.

Chang'an, Tai Chi Hall.

When Li Shimin finally investigated the scale of the disaster, he seemed to be in a rage. If the eldest grandson hadn't stopped him, someone in the palace would have been beaten to death.

He even sent people every day to ask if there was any news about Ji Song, which shows his anxiety!

"The land of Huaihe and Haihai is already full of hungry people. Although there are grains sent by the Marquis of Hao, if they can't be replenished, it will take half a month at the latest."

"My Emperor is generous, and the governors of the sixteen prefectures in Shandong have jointly submitted a letter, saying that the ministers and others are incompetent. The superiors cannot repay the kindness of my emperor, and the subordinates cannot bring peace to the people. If... if there is anything that I cannot bear to say, I, ministers, etc."

". In Henan and other places, the Yizi cannibalize each other. The governor of Bianzhou searched the city and obtained thousands of grains. Afterwards, he hung himself from a rafter and sent thousands of people to see him off."

"enough!"

Li Shimin shouted loudly.

Fang Xuanling gathered the memorial together, bowed his head and said nothing.

But Du Ruhui beside him saw his trembling body, which showed how angry he was at this time!
All officials are good officials, and so far no officials have harmed one party. This may be the only gratifying thing about them.

But what good is this for disaster relief?

The officials below all know that this may be the only thing they can do. Without food, this is the key.

But does food always exist?Chang'an has transported all the available grain to Shandong and other places, but water from far away cannot quench the thirst of nearby people, let alone how much grain will be left by then?

All the officials in the hall were silent. It was useless to say anything now. Even the Ministry of War was already ready to quell the civil unrest.

How much sanity can be expected from a group of hungry and panicked people?
At that time, I am afraid that even if Li Shimin is present, as long as he can get food, he will not hesitate to swing the knife at the emperor.

"No news from Ji Song?"

Now he can only count on Ji Song. At this time, Li Shimin hopes Ji Song can bring back food, even if he kills all Nanyang!

They all came out of the chaotic times of the late Sui Dynasty. No one knew better than him how terrifying a group of hungry and panicked people could be.

Zhu Jie, who was entrenched in the Xiangyang area at the beginning, even preyed on the people, eating the good Xiangyang into nothing.

After he defeated this army, he killed them all without any hesitation.

This group of people are no longer human beings. They have been possessed by demons for a long time. Even if they are alive, they are still a group of walking zombies.

Facing the emperor's question, Fang Xuanling shook his head.

He also hopes to get the news that Ji Song has brought back food, but it's not easy!
"Your Majesty, I still have a few hundred stones of food at home, so I'll go home and get it."

Cheng Yaojin couldn't stand such a depressing scene and said irritably.

As soon as he spoke, other generals also came out one by one. You have a few hundred dan, I have a thousand dan. In a short time, I have collected five thousand dan of food.

Li Shimin wanted to refuse, but when he opened his mouth, he couldn't say anything.

"Your Majesty, my dear wife, Lady Ji Xie, is asking to see Your Majesty outside the palace gate!"

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, as if he thought of something, and said quickly: "Hurry up!"

Chen Shou: "No!"

After a while, Xie Youning came to the main hall. She was wearing imperial clothes and holding Ji Run, the eldest son of the Ji family.

When Xie Lian saw it, he quickly stepped forward and scolded: "What are you, a woman, doing here? Why don't you go back quickly!"

You Ning shook his head, ignored his father, and continued to step forward.

Li Shimin quickly said: "But there is news about Ji Song?"

That was what he wanted to know, nothing else mattered.

You Ning still shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, the distance for training the eagle is too far this time. It will take at least ten days to make a round trip. The latest news is from the day before yesterday."

Of course, Li Shimin knew the news from the day before yesterday. He said that he had arrived in Yazhou. According to the time, the news should be seven days ago. It is unknown what happened now!

"In that case, what's the purpose of your visit?"

Li Shimin was already a little impatient, and Xie Lian quickly gave his daughter a wink, telling her to leave quickly.

"This is the sentiment of all my Ji family members, and I will submit it to Your Majesty on their behalf!"

Li Shimin was stunned, and Chen Shou quickly stepped forward to finish You Ning's memorial and pass it on to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was also curious about what it could be, but he was also surprised when he saw the numbers above.

"This is real?"

Li Shimin couldn't believe it.
