The lucky star of rebirth

Chapter 168 Discussion
Ji Wei's last sentence undoubtedly questioned Ji Zhen and Ji Songxian.

If it was a side question, Ji Songxian would probably not have a clear discussion with Ji Wei. However, the issue of redundant troops that just happened to be discussed by Ji Wei and his brothers was the policy test question of this scientific examination. How could Ji Songxian do it? ignore.

"This problem is becoming more and more obvious now." Ji Zhen looked thoughtful: "I'm afraid no one can solve it properly."

Ji Songxian was thinking about it, trying to find a good answer by searching the memory fragments in her mind, but the information in her mind was too complicated and huge, and she couldn't find it for a while. One line said: "I think this question is very real. Maybe His Majesty is also thinking about this matter. There are such questions in Xu Ke's exam. If we think about it again, we can't ask our father, or Minger's husband. If you want to come over, tell him to think about it together, after all, there are many people and strength, maybe he can come up with some clues."

"Exactly." Ji Zhen nodded and agreed, "Let's think about it together when Dad comes back."

The elder brothers are not entangled people, even if they want to wait for Ji Yi to come back and think about it together, they will stop thinking about this problem, but take out a lot of test papers to answer other questions.

Ji Songxian breathed a sigh of relief, then sat down and flipped through the test paper, asking a few questions from time to time, this time she also asked Chun Wei's test questions among them.

Ji Wei's foundation is solid, and there are several Jinshi in the family to give advice, and they answered many questions very well.

Ji Songxian read a lot, and he can judge whether the answers are correct or not. From time to time, he discussed with Brother Ji Wei for a while, and after about an hour, Ji Zhen smiled: "If Jiumei goes to participate in Chunwei, I will see Among the top picks."

"Extremely." Ji Wei and Wu Ruiyun also laughed: "Jiumei is outstanding in learning, even if she doesn't win the No. [-] Scholar, she is also a talented candidate."

Ji Songxian, who was talking nonsense among the three brothers, was a little shy, and got up and shook his face: "Brother is making fun of me, well, I won't show my shame in front of you champions, second places, and Tanhua, I will just go."

Seeing that Ji Songxian was a little annoyed, Ji Zhen quickly stood up and apologized, and said a lot of good things to coax Ji Songxian into joy.

Ji Songxian looked at the sky and it was not time for lunch, so he simply talked about a lot of test questions with the three elder brothers. Naturally, this time the test questions of the scientific examination were also mixed in, and she didn't know until about half of the scientific test questions were mentioned Big sigh of relief.

At that moment, Wu's ordered someone to call again, and Ji Songxian said goodbye and left.

At noon, Ji Yi sent someone back to say that he wanted to eat at the Yamen, and Wu asked someone to deliver food to Ji Yi, and she took Ji Songxian to eat by herself.

In the evening, Ji Yi came back with a bad look on his face.

Ji Songxian went to pay his respects to him, but he was a bit puzzled to see his expressionless face. After saluting, Ji Songxian brought hot tea and asked with a smile: "What's wrong with Dad? Who messed with you?"

Ji Yi looked at Ji Songxian, the anger in his heart was gone, and there was a little smile on his face: "When did you come back? The house is cleaned up? This time I come back and stay for a few more days. Your mother misses you. tight."

Ji Songxian smiled: "Mother misses me, why doesn't Father miss his daughter?"

"I think, dad also wants to be a good girl." Ji Yi stroked his beard and nodded with a smile, then said to Ji Songxian: "Your new book has already started selling, and I don't know how many people rushed to buy it, but the ones that were printed are actually Not enough to sell, even His Majesty said that the writing is excellent, if you read your book soon, I don’t know how many emperors will break their hearts to seek immortals and Taoism.”

Ji Songxian listened with a smile: "It's just writing indiscriminately. It's not a big deal. My son and daughter wrote a newsletter book again. Now my son hasn't finished writing it. I will show it to my father later, and my father will correct me a little bit." .”

With just such a sentence, Ji Yi became more and more interested: "I'll have someone deliver it later, I have to take a good look at it."

Ji Songxian took this opportunity to ask again: "Dad looked very bad just now, did someone offend you?"

When he asked, Ji Yi's face turned serious: "Let me ask you, do you know about my son-in-law and his family?"

Ji Songxian responded: "He told me that he wanted to sever ties with the Cheng family, and that Duke Cheng had already written a document and filed a record with His Majesty, and he would no longer be a descendant of the Cheng family from then on."

"The Duke Cheng's mansion is such a big mess, he will stop it if he wants to." Ji Yi's face became more and more uneasy: "It's just that he cut off ties with Duke Cheng on the front foot, and changed his surname on the back foot. Was it changed? And it was changed so quickly that people would know what it was."

Ji Songxian instantly understood that Ji Yi was probably in a bad mood because of some gossip.

She took a few steps to help Ji Yi rub his shoulders, and carefully replied: "He also said that he would change his surname, I think it's okay, Cheng Guogong never raised him for a day, and he wanted to kill him before, but he killed him again." For my mother-in-law, not to mention other things, it is the revenge of killing my mother... Cheng Guogong is his own father, he can't kill his own father just to avenge his mother, he is not happy, change it Changing my surname is just to make my heart feel less uncomfortable, after all, I think no matter what others say, it is not as good as my own peace of mind."

"You!" Ji Yi let out a long sigh: "You are young, how can you know what people say to be scary, and you are too easy to follow his temper."

"Your uncle is a man of success." Ji Songxian had no choice but to persuade him again: "In any case, he may have made up his mind, so let's not care about his good things and get angry with him."

Speaking of this, Ji Songxian carefully said: "When he comes tomorrow, I will ask him to apologize to Dad, okay, Dad should not be angry anymore, and my daughter should feel distressed if I get angry again."

Ji Songxian persuaded him softly, but Ji Yi lost all his anger, he pushed Ji Songxian to stand up: "Come on, girls are extroverted, you are devoted to your son-in-law, what else can father say."

Ji Songxian smiled immediately, seeing that it was getting late, he immediately asked Ji Yi to go to a place for dinner.

He just came out and walked a few steps, when he saw Zhuo Liang hurried over: "Madam, the master is here, and he is greeting the old lady."

"Why are you here today?" Ji Songxian was a little surprised, and hurried to Wu's house with Ji Yi. Before entering the door, he saw Wu talking and laughing with Song Huaijin. Seeing the ceremony, Ji Yihu snorted coldly.

Ji Songxian quickly gave Song Huaijin a wink, then pulled Jiyi to sit down and smiled, "Father just talked about you, saying that you haven't come for a long time, but you are so busy that you don't even remember that there are elders at home."

"Is it my son-in-law?" Song Huaijin understood, and immediately apologized: "This time my son-in-law will stay for a few more days, so I can spend more time with my father-in-law."

"I don't need you to accompany me." Ji Yi sneered: "I'm fine if you don't get angry."

Song Huaijin is a shrewd person, after thinking about it for a while, he understood why Ji Yi was angry, and quickly smiled again: "The previous matter is also wrong with my son-in-law, and I didn't come to discuss it with my father-in-law, but it made my father-in-law feel a little bit off, don't worry, who will you?" If you dare to make irresponsible remarks again, my son-in-law will definitely not be able to spare them, say nothing, there are still many unused cells in the Imperial Prison."

"Come on." Ji Yi flicked his sleeves angrily: "I'm not angry either, no one framed Zhongliang just because of me."

Seeing this, Ji Songxian hurried forward to accompany him to be careful, Wu Shi was so angry that he slapped Ji Yi, "Damn old man, what are you going to do? Don't worry if your daughter doesn't come back. Come with your son-in-law this time." But you have picked up the airs, carefully scare away your daughter and son-in-law, and I will settle accounts with you."

Ji Yi was frightened by Wu Shi's scolding, and hurriedly spoke nice words to Wu Shi, and after a while, the room was full of excitement.

Waiting for the family members to come, almost everything is ready, Mrs. Wu hurriedly ordered someone to prepare dinner, and after dinner for a while, Ji Zhen was still thinking about the strategy discussed during the day, so he immediately discussed with Ji Yi, Ji Songxian also wanted to hear it, So he followed the past and stood aside to serve Ji Yi while listening.

Ji Yi felt a little embarrassed when he heard Ji Zhen's question, and called Ji Gang brothers and Song Huaijin to come, and said that everyone should discuss it together.

For a while, everyone expressed their opinions, but they expressed a lot of opinions. Although these ideas can solve some problems, they are not the right way.

Song Huaijin, on the other hand, sat steadily, and waited until everyone had finished speaking before saying, "There are too few troops in the Great Xia Dynasty. If you break it down in detail, it's not difficult to find many solutions."

"How to divide?"

Ji Yi immediately became interested and hurriedly asked.

Song Huaijin smiled: "There are many divisions, which can be divided into generals who fight, soldiers who maintain the stability of the court, and engineers, etc. Soldiers who fight can be divided into infantry, cavalry, heavy infantry, and heavy cavalry. , firearms soldiers, etc. The stability maintenance soldiers will be used as watchmen, on weekdays, patrolling, guarding the city gates, or doing other tasks. Nowadays, manpower cannot be found for various projects during the slack season, and many people who should be doing hard work don’t like to do it. , you can ask rich people to use their money to hire engineers and soldiers to serve for them, and you can also set up farmers and soldiers to reclaim wasteland and cultivate better seeds, etc.”

What he said made Ji Songxian think of many things, and he smiled immediately: "I think what Huai Jin said is very true, not only that, now that goods from the north and the south are in circulation, many merchants want to transport the goods from the north to the south, and some want to transport the goods from the south To the north, a lot of manpower is needed along the way. The court can also organize many soldiers to help them transport the goods. The amount of silver for one piece of goods is paid in taels of silver. to many lives."

Ji Songxian and Song Huaijin's husband and wife seemed to have opened up a chatterbox. You said something, and they jumped out one by one. Ji Yi and his son were stunned. It took a long time for Ji Yi to laugh out loud: They are all good ideas, if it works, it will solve a lot of things, and I don’t know how much money will be saved every year.”

Brothers Ji Zhen and Ji Wei also kept nodding, and followed Ji Songxian's train of thought. Everyone thought of a lot of solutions.

The discussion was almost over. Seeing that the night was getting dark, everyone said goodbye and left. Ji Songxian and Song Huaijin went to their own room. After talking, Ji Songxian asked Song Huaijin: "Why are you here today? Didn't you say that you will come tomorrow?" Is it?"

Song Huaijin smiled, took her hand and said: "I have changed my surname today, and I have also informed His Majesty that I have also changed the household registration and other things on file in the court. After finishing this, I will naturally come to see you. "
