Ji Tang

Chapter 552: Gaining a Million Stones of Food!
No wonder Li Shimin was surprised. There were [-] shi of grain on it. How did Ji get so much grain?

You Ning seemed to know what the emperor was going to ask, and said sadly: "Your Majesty also knows what the Ji family was in back then. There was nothing we could do about it at the beginning, but now as long as the Ji family members have some spare money, they will save enough food for three years. Only in this way can we I feel at ease.”

"Then it doesn't cost thirty thousand dan?"

Fang Xuanling was also surprised. Although his family had food in stock, it was only enough for a year. At most, it was less than three thousand shi of food.

Even if Ji's family keeps food, they don't have so much!

"Fang Xiangrong, you also know that my Ji family will save some money for the clan every year. These are supervised by the clan elders and will only be used when clan members need it."

Fang Xuanling nodded. Not only him, but everyone here also knew this. This was also the envy of everyone.

Ji's unity is well-known in Chang'an. Whenever a member of the clan encounters any difficulties outside, another person will spare no effort to help.

After returning to the clan, if that person is unable to repay, the clan will compensate him for this part, and the other person will repay the money if he has spare capacity.

You Ning said that he was a little embarrassed and said: "Who would have thought that the clan elders might have been afraid of hunger before, so they exchanged part of their money for food, which is enough for the clan to eat for a long time."

Everyone's faces looked very beautiful after hearing this, how could it be like this?
"Okay, okay, Ji is worried about the court's urgent needs and can take out life-saving food. It shows that she cares about the court and can set an example for the world!"

Li Shimin was very happy. Although he only had [-] shi of food, this was all Ji could afford. This feeling was rare.

"deliver an imperial order!"

"Ji Wu family, when the head of the family was away, did not forget the difficulties of the court and broke up the family to express the difficulties. It was commendable. He was promoted to one level by imperial decree. Ji's eldest son Run was given the title of Cavalry Captain, and the second son Ze was awarded the title of Yunqi Lieutenant to express his gratitude. Virtue."

"Princess Jiankang will live in the city and add [-] households."

As soon as the emperor said this, many officials were shocked.

Ji Wu, Ji Song's mother, was originally a county monarch and was promoted to a county monarch. Youning's original food estate was [-] households, but now it has been increased to [-] households.

His eldest son Ji Run's cavalry captain can be regarded as the fifth rank, and his second son Ji Ze's Yunqi captain can be regarded as the seventh rank.

No one expected that the emperor would be so generous, which shows his preference for Ji.

You Ning was also stunned. When he came to his senses, he would refuse. Such a reward was too heavy.

But before he could say anything, Li Shimin said: "Your husband has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, but I have never rewarded him. This should be regarded as compensation for him. You must not refuse it!"

You Ning was stunned for a moment, then saw his father Xie Lian nodding, and then he saluted and said: "I bow to your Majesty!"

Li Shimin offered help, "No need to be too polite. You are the queen's adopted daughter, and you have been canonized as a princess by me. If you have nothing to do, you should come to the palace to accompany the queen."

"I understand!"

Although the emperor said this, You Ning still called herself a concubine, and did not call herself a daughter just because she had the title of princess.

Both the courtiers and Xie Lian were very satisfied with this. The canonization of Xie Youning as a princess was a way for the emperor to win over the Ji family. If she really thought of herself as the emperor's daughter, she would be ignorant.

Afterwards, he encouraged You Ning a few words and told her to report immediately as soon as there was news about Ji Song, and then let him go to see the queen.

After all, she is the adopted daughter of the queen in name, so it would be unjustifiable not to see the queen when she comes to the palace.

She happened to be taking this brat like Ji Run with her. The Queen was still thinking about this brat a few days ago!
When You Ning left, the atmosphere in the hall was a little subtle.

The Ji family could provide so much food, but he wouldn't believe it if other aristocratic families couldn't provide it.

But Li Shimin did not embarrass them. After all, the family is big and many things cannot be decided by one person.

Unlike the Ji family, Ji Song carried it forward and basically made decisions with one word, and no one else had the ability to stop it.After coming to court, the story of Ji's family breaking up and expressing troubles spread throughout Chang'an immediately.

Not only has the imperial title been improved, but his children, who are only a few years old, have become fifth- and seventh-grade imperial officials, which makes many people jealous.

On the second day, many noble ladies came to the palace and donated a lot of food.

Li Shimin did not favor one over the other. As long as he donated, he would be rewarded.

He just wants to tell everyone that as long as he cares about the court, as the emperor, he will not treat everyone badly.

In this way, in less than three days, no less than [-] shi of food were raised, which made Li Shimin quite proud!

It is said that people are in high spirits during happy events. Just when Li Shimin was happy, another surprise came to him.

"Your Majesty is overjoyed"

Chen Shou ran and crawled to the emperor, completely ignoring his own embarrassment.

"Your Majesty is very happy. There is news about the good Marquis."

Li Shimin, who was a little angry at first, was overjoyed and quickly took the note from Chen Shou's hand.

Tough, as sharp as a knife or an axe, who else but Ji Song could write such a font?
"In the middle of August, I got a million grains, and I'm back!"

Li Shimin read the short nine words no less than ten times, as if these nine words were magical and made people never tire of it.

"In the middle of August, I got a million grains, and I'm back!"

"In the middle of August, I got a million grains, and I'm back!"

He kept mumbling these words in his mouth, and finally his voice got louder and louder, and he even laughed out loud.

"Hahaha, we can be saved, my people can be saved, Ji Song has lived up to my expectations. He has lived up to my expectations."

Li Shimin cried with joy, it was so timely, and there were millions of stones of food?How did Ji Song do it?
How could it be possible to transport so much food with thirteen warships?
As for Ji Song lying to him?The idea was thrown aside by him as soon as he came up with it.

How could he not know who Ji Song was?
Other things may be playful, but this is no joke.

The thing is true, and the millions of stones of grain are definitely true, but how did he transport it?
"No, there is definitely something hidden from me."

The more he thought about it, the more wrong he became, and he said to Chen Shou: "Go to the three provinces to find Fang Qing, Du Qing, and Wei Qing, and bring whatever memorials Jiangdong has not yet read."

Chen Shou was stunned. When he saw the emperor's appearance, he didn't dare to ask and ran out immediately.

An hour later, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, and more than ten people came here with many memorials.

"His Majesty."

Without waiting for anyone to ask, Li Shimin immediately took out Ji Song's note and handed it to them with a smile.

"How is this possible?"

Fang Xuanling held the finger stick with trembling hands and looked at the emperor in disbelief, hoping that the emperor would tell him that this was not true.
Millions of stones, how is this possible?

Thinking of Ji Song's person and the familiar font, his intuition told him that this was probably true.

But he still couldn't believe it. How did he transport this food?

Suddenly, something occurred to him, and he was frantically searching for something in the pile of memorials.
