Ji Tang

Chapter 907 Cruelty under a map

After Ji Song returned to Chang'an, he closed his door tightly and ignored foreign affairs. Regarding the properties in Chang'an and Guanzhong that had been vacated due to the withdrawal of his tribe, he just told the managers and ignored them.

Maybe some people didn't want to look too ugly, so they sent someone to the Duke Xi's Mansion to inform him and try to find out Ji Song's opinion, but Ji Song had already used his own skills to deal with it.

In addition to not wanting to wade into this muddy water, it was also because something happened at home.

It's not a big deal, it's just a trouble for the children at home.

Looking at Wu Mei in front of him, Ji Song suddenly had a headache!

"Have you really decided? You must know that this departure took more than a year and a half. You know the rules of the Ji family. Men are not allowed to get married before they are [-], and women are not allowed to get married before they are [-]. You want to go south. Next time we meet But it will be three years later. Ji Ze is still young, and anything can happen in the past few years. If something happens, don’t regret it then? "

When Wu Mei heard this, she said without hesitation: "My disciple will never regret it!"

Then he said with some lack of confidence: "If Ze'er really changes his mind, it will be because I am blind and I will never hold any grudge!"

Looking at Wu Mei Ji Song, he didn't know what to say, but it wasn't until today that he finally understood.How can a person who can leave a strong mark in the history books be an ordinary person?
No, after he returned home, this girl immediately came over and asked to go south in advance in place of Ji Ze to make arrangements for the future branch sect. After she married Ji Ze, she immediately went south to establish their own Ji family. Division.

Ji Song has no doubts about this girl's ability. It's a joke that someone who can become the first queen of the ages, can this thing stump her?

What's more, Ji Song has taught her everything he can in these years without any reservation.At that time, there was no news from Ji Qing and others, and Ji Song did not want his lineage to be cut off, so he had high hopes for Wu Mei, hoping that she could carry forward his lineage of knowledge in the future.

This girl lived up to the high expectations, she was smart and alert, and she was able to draw inferences from one instance to another. Within a few years, she had mastered everything Professor Ji Song taught. Now she just lacks some experience.

But he never expected that she would have such thoughts?Can't we just wait a few years?Do you have to go south at this time?
"Does Ze'er know about this?"

After thinking for a long time, Ji Song finally thought of a solution that was not a solution. As long as that silly boy Ji Ze didn't agree, could Wu Mei still fly?
But who knows.
"He has already agreed, and also said that if he hadn't been young, he would have wanted to go with his disciples. He said that he wanted to build the southern branch of the Ji family into a family that is no less powerful than the master's family!"

After hearing what the master said, could Wu Mei not know what the master had planned?So some snickered.

Ji Song held his forehead and smiled bitterly, my silly son, you will be controlled by your wife for the rest of your life, and you will never be able to escape in this life.

But this is his own choice, maybe others will enjoy it!

"Okay, I agree to this!"

What can he say now?However, Wu Mei has come south to take charge and represents a direct branch of the Ji family. This will also be a deterrent to those branch heads who go south. Don't think that you can do whatever you want when you are far away from home!

"Thank you master!"

Wu Mei cheered, holding Ji Song's arm and shaking her coquettishly.

"Okay, okay, I'm so dizzy from being shaken by you!"

Ji Song said helplessly: "You can go, but we have to make a three-part agreement. If you both agree, my master will not only not hinder you but also give you some help, how about that?"

Wu Mei was stunned for a moment. Seeing the seriousness on the master's face, she stopped joking and nodded: "Master, please tell me, and the disciple will definitely obey!"

"First, the branch sect can develop unlimitedly, even if it exceeds the main family, the main family will not interfere, but it is not allowed to harm one party, let alone betray the national justice."

"Second, it is important for the descendants of the Ji family to study and practice martial arts. Studying is important, but they cannot give up practicing martial arts. After all, the Ji family made a fortune through martial arts. This is the foundation of the Ji family. They must not emphasize literature over martial arts, or value martial arts over literature. They must Pay equal attention to civil and military affairs.”

"Third, members of the same clan must not kill each other. If you dare to raise a butcher's knife against a fellow clan member, you will be abandoned by the Ji family and the whole clan will be punished."

After finishing speaking, Ji Song stared at Wu Mei, not letting go of any of her expressions!
"Disciple understands that he will never do anything that pleases his relatives and enemies!"

Although Wu Mei was a little confused, as if the master was speaking to her, how could she do such a terrible thing?
If Ji Song knew what she was thinking, he would definitely sneer at her. Historically, even his own son could be killed without hesitation, let alone a member of his own clan?
But he also knew that it was what happened after Wu Mei experienced many cruel struggles. After experiencing life-and-death situations every day, it was good that she didn't go crazy.

"Okay, I will remember your words!"

Ji Song didn't say anything after that. After Wu Mei went out, You Ning walked out from behind.

"Husband, is this appropriate? Your disciple is not an economical person. Is the kitten strong enough? But I am not crushed by your disciple. I often complain about it. In addition, Ze'er is also Is he a soft-tempered person who will not be controlled in the future?"

Ji Song rolled his eyes and said angrily: "This is your son's choice. Even if he suffers, it is his own fault. Who is to blame?"

"Bah! You're talking like he's not your son? You can take care of this matter, I don't care about it anymore!"

After saying that, he stopped talking to Ji Song, turned around and went out.

When Ji Song was left alone, after a while, he suddenly laughed.

"I really look forward to how far she can lead Ji's Southern Sect.?"

Then he picked up the famous assassin given by the new butler Lao Liu just now.Old Liu is a steward under Ji's family. He has been working hard over the years to manage the industries he is in charge of in an orderly manner. Finally, after being recommended by Old Zheng, he became the chief steward of Duke Tan.

Zheng Li resigned from his post and became a worshiper of the Ji family, and entered a separate courtyard to take care of his old age. This can be regarded as a reward for him over the years.

"Zheng Xuanxu, Dugu Mou?"

Ji Song was surprised after seeing the name above.

He could still understand Zheng Xuanxu's coming. After all, after all these years of friendship, he must have come here for the property vacated by the Ji family.

It's just this lonely plan
"Find Lao Liu!"

After a while, Old Liu, who was about forty years old, came to Ji Song. Perhaps he had suddenly become the big housekeeper, but he was still a little restrained. He said respectfully, "Why do you want this villain to come to me?"

Ji Song didn't think it would be enough until he got familiar with it.

"Did the person who sent the assassination say anything? Or left anything behind?"

Ji Song was curious about what Dugumou wanted to do when he came three days later.Turn dry silk into jade silk?If that was really the case, it would really impress him.Putting aside personal grudges is not something that ordinary people can do.He has heard some things about the Dugu family in recent years. With the overall decline of the Guanlong military aristocracy, one of the representatives of the Dugu family is not having a hard time.

"Reporting to the head of the family, the old man of the Zheng family just said that he would pay a visit in three days and leave. But the Dugu family said that they wanted the ranch in Longxi, and said that they would buy it at the market price and that our family would not suffer any loss."

Ji Song was stunned, ranch?Does Ji have a ranch in Longxi?

Seeing the expression on the head of the family, Old Liu hurriedly said: "This is the property of Ji Shan and Ji Hu in the clan. In order to avoid outsiders coveting it, it was put in your name. You agreed to this at the time."

Hearing what Lao Liu said, Ji Song suddenly remembered it.

But he frowned and said: "But I don't remember much, what's the matter? Now the Dugu family can even appreciate this little thing?"

Now it was Old Liu's turn to be embarrassed, and he said carefully: "That was then, and it has been five or six years now. As far as the villain knows, at this time he probably owns a large pasture of over [-] acres, and every year some of the mutton in Guanzhong is Where did it come from? At least tens of thousands of sheep are slaughtered every year."

"What? One hundred thousand acres?"

Ji Song was stunned. It had only been a few years. I remember it was only about [-] acres at first. A few thousand sheep every year would be good, but now it has become a large pasture of more than [-] acres?

"Have you paid the tax?" Ji Song frowned.

If he didn't pay taxes, if the emperor found out, he wouldn't be able to skin him?
"Hand it over, hand it over!"

Old Liu quickly said: "Don't you know about those two people? Every year, people from the Ministry of Revenue go to collect taxes. There is no tax evasion or evasion at all. Don't worry!"

"That's good!"

Ji Song then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If I, Mrs. Ji, don't miss this little money, I will pay the tax in full. It's not worth being worried about for this little money!"

"The villain understands that he will definitely not do it."

Putting the matter aside, Ji Song knocked on the table and said, "Since he wants it, give it to him. Uncle Shan and Uncle Hu have both gone to the north, and they can't be controlled here. It's no problem to let them go."

"Yes, that man is still waiting at the concierge. Go tell him now!"

Go out after speaking.

"Wait!"

Ji Song thought for a while and then said: "Since he is so interested, then tell him that in addition to that ranch, we also need a lot of ranches on the West Sea. If he wants it, he can go, but it depends on whether he can get it. That’s what he’s capable of.”

After handling the matter, Ji Song came to the study, took out a map from the bookshelf, and wrote and drew on it. He didn't know what he was doing.
This is a very detailed map of the Tang Dynasty, which extends to the countries in the Western Regions in the west, to the southeastern peninsula and a small strait in the south.Across the sea to the east, there are two huge land masses, but except for a few places with detailed markings, the other places are blank.

The East Siberian Plain in the future has reached the north. There are hundreds of red circles marked in red on the entire map. If the tribesmen who left see it, they will be surprised to find that the places where they want to establish separate families can be marked in red. Found within the circle.

Although there will be some deviations, most of them are fine.

If you look carefully, you will find that there is a large circle and nine smaller circles on it, which is particularly eye-catching on the map!

The largest circle is in the center of Guanzhong, and nine smaller ones are distributed in all directions on the map, but there is a pattern.

That is, there are as few as a dozen or as many as dozens of small circles distributed around the nine large circles.

"As our ancestors say, you can't put all your eggs in one basket. Although it's a bit cruel, it's still a good idea for the continuation of the family!"

The Ji family is developing too fast. It's okay for him to be alive, but if he leaves, the Ji family will definitely not be able to hold on to such a large industry.Now he is still here, so he can separate the family.Otherwise, it would not be easy to wait until the ship is done and then try to turn it around!
The Ji clan split up their families, seemingly without any purpose, allowing the clansmen to choose their own place to settle down.But they will involuntarily move closer to the place where the sect is divided. This is human nature.With their branch sects present, if something happens to them, they won't be in the embarrassing situation of being unable to quench their thirst with water far away, and they can also stay together to keep warm.

Another reason why he agreed to Wu Mei's move south was to open up a situation for other tribesmen.As long as Wu Mei chooses a place on behalf of Ji Ze, others will innately feel that the place where the branch sect is established is good, and most of them will come here.

Coupled with Wu Mei's skill, I think it won't take long for a certain foundation to be established.

He said that the main family would not interfere with the division of the family, but he did not say that it was impossible to divide the clan.With the strong foundation of the branch clan, how can the branch family compete?
As a result, the seemingly scattered Ji family was controlled under the branch sect in disguise. As long as the main family established a close relationship with the branch sect, the Ji family would still be a whole.

In a few years, when families and clans have developed, and most people have changed their surnames, who will know that they are one family?
Except for a few people who know the basics, others may not even think about how two or even three people with different surnames can be the same family.
The surname can also be Cheng, He, or even Zhou.

Putting away the map, he leaned back in his chair and stared at the roof.He didn't know what Ji's future would be like if he did this.

Maybe he will be lost to everyone, and after many years of chaos, he may even forget his roots.It may also successfully take root in the local area, and even develop into a mysterious family hidden behind this nation, with unfathomable heritage.

But this has nothing to do with me. I can't see that day.

From now on, every generation of the Ji family will do this, divide the family into clans, wait until a certain level is reached, and leave those on the bright side, while the others will be divided.

Hidden away in the city, I hope this can save the people of the clan!

He has offended too many people. Not to mention the five surnames and Qi Wang, the military nobles of Longxi have offended a lot.If they all come towards him, then water will come to cover them, and soldiers will come to stop them. Who will he, Ji Song, be afraid of?

But what if I am no longer here?
Nothing is certain in this world. Maybe it won’t take many years for the family to recover?Will they be able to let Ji go by then?

Ji Song shook his head, that was impossible, Ji's family would definitely suffer strong backlash.

It's just a pain for Run'er. This child has a strong temper and has been a bit impulsive since he was a child.He wasn't worried that this kid would make a big mistake, but he was worried that he would be taken advantage of.

In addition, if there is an accident, the lineage left in Guanzhong will definitely bear the most pressure. I wonder if he can cope with it?
After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't think of a better way.

Thinking of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, maybe he felt the same way as me when facing the death of his descendants?
He suddenly laughed, shook his head, and stopped thinking about it.

Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, and I can only do so much. If I do more, I will not be helping them, but harming them.

Seedlings that have not experienced wind and rain will not be able to withstand the wind and waves. Only through the waves and sand can real gold be refined.Although cruel, this is reality!
