Chapter 0221: The Deserted Shangyuan Festival

When the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty heard this, they looked at each other.

They felt that Kou Zhun was bullying people.

You Kou Zhun has just finished playing prestige, we are all afraid of you, you now open your mouth to ask us if we have any doubts?

Do we dare to have doubts?

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty arched their hands and said: "We have no objection......

Kou Zhun nodded with satisfaction and said: "Regarding the cause of the war in which our dynasty sent troops to Western Xia, Cao Wei, the privy envoy of the Privy Council, will use it to supervise it together with Cao Wei, the secretary of the military department.

Huainan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Tang, Deng, Dai and other states of the grain shortage, and the three divisions cooperate with various ministries and departments to govern together.

We can't go wrong in the war of sending troops to Western Xia.

We must not go wrong with the problem of food shortage in various places.

We must not let the issue of food shortages lead to a stalemate in the dispatch of troops to Western Xia for our dynasty. ”

"Retreat!"

The indignant dissatisfaction of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty disappeared under the strong suppression of Kou Zhun.

Only Kou Zhun can say such strong words in today's court, and only Kou Zhun can do such a domineering thing.

In Liu E's words, it would be difficult for her to say such strong words, and it would be difficult for her to do such a domineering thing.

This doesn't really have much to do with the men and women themselves.

It's purely because of the different positions in which they are located, so when it comes to dealing with problems, it gives people a different feeling.

The royal family is the main one, and the hundred officials are the servants.

The royal family oppresses hundreds of officials, that is, the evil lord deceives the servants.

The prime minister forcibly oppresses hundreds of officials, that is, the big housekeeper educates the little housekeeper to be a man.

There are always rumors among the people that evil masters deceive their servants, or that they use their servants to bully their masters, but who has ever heard of such things as bullying their servants with their servants.

Therefore, in the eyes of the people, Kou Zhun, the big steward of the imperial court, bullied those small stewards of the imperial court, purely for training, and it has nothing to do with who bullies whom.

This is also the reason why when Kou Zhun was forcibly suppressing the hundred officials, the hundred officials did not dare to let go of a fart.

The joy of the royal family is called not afraid of power.

The hundreds of officials are happy and honest, which is called unruly.

The chief butler of the imperial court is something you can do if you want?

If every little steward can scare the big butler, then how can the big butler manage the huge industry of the imperial court?

After the next court.

Zhao Zhen waved his little hands and happily left the vertical arch hall.

Today he has seen enough drama in the Vertical Arch Hall.

I learned how to lift the camouflage on the hundred officials and see their true faces.

I also learned how to suppress hundreds of officials domineeringly.

Kou Zhun was domineering, arrogant, and unreasonable in the vertical arch hall, which left a deep impression on him.

He will inevitably follow suit in the future.

Although he has a benevolent temperament, he still has some small rebellions in his heart, and some are not convinced.

This is not difficult to see from the Qingli New Deal launched after his personal conquest.

It's just that he was trained by Liu E in the history books, and his temperament is somewhat soft, and his ears are also soft.

Therefore, when the officials admonished or quarreled, his thoughts would always be repeated.

But now it's different.

He not only has Liu E to teach, but also Kou Zhun to teach by example.

The decisions he can't learn from Liu E, the domineering that he can't learn, the arrogance that he can't learn, and the unreasonableness that he can't learn can all be learned from Kou Zhun.

However, all these changes originated from Koji.

Kou Ji is like the catfish that has mixed in with the sardines, stirring the lifeless water of the Great Song Dynasty and driving the sardines that are silent in the lifeless water.

Koji was somewhat aware of this, but he didn't care.

He pushed Kou Zhun out of the Vertical Arch Hall and returned to Kou's Mansion all the way.

When he sent Kou Zhun into the bedroom, ready to leave.

Kou Zhun, who had been silent all the way, suddenly spoke: "The old man was impulsive, and you will be guilty in the future." ”

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, thought about it for a while, and understood the meaning of Kou Zhun's words.

Kou Zhun suppressed the ministers in the Vertical Arch Hall today, and his hat of a powerful minister was solid, and he would even be scolded as a traitor.

In the past dynasties, those who can be called powerful ministers and are unwilling to seek the usurpation of the throne will inevitably be liquidated after they die, and the fate of their descendants will not be very good.

Kou Ji grinned and said, "Grandfather said that grandfather has a long life." By the time you turn 100, I'll be in my fifties. When the time comes, in the face of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, it is not certain who will bully whom. How can you suffer? ”

Kou Zhun listened to Kou Ji say comforting words and smiled silently.

He has his own body and bones, and he understands it himself.

He didn't dare to think about living to be one hundred and eighty years old.

In this era when the average life expectancy is about 30 years old, it is rare to live to 70 or 80.

Those who can live past 100 years old are all Renrui.

Even if he has no official or title, he is just an ordinary person, and Zhao Zhen, the official, can be treated politely when he sees it.

With a smile on Kou Zhun's face, Kou Ji arched his hand and left Kou Zhun's bedroom.

A few days later, it was still during the New Year's Festival.

Except for Kou Zhun occasionally entering the palace to pay attention to the war in the northwest and the food shortage in Huainan, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Kou Ji, a doctor in Chaosan, didn't go out much.

The imperial court's war against Western Xia did not need him to intervene.

The imperial court did not need his intervention in the wars in Huainan, Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

To be precise, it wasn't his turn to intervene.

On the first night.

Liu Heng, Cao Tong, and Fan Zhongyan arrived at Kou Mansion and invited Kou Ji to play in Bianjing City, enjoy the Lantern Festival, visit the Poetry Club, guess the lantern riddles, and take a look at the Miss Jiao raised by the wealthy families in Bianjing City.

Kou Ji didn't refuse, nodded and agreed.

Kou Ji filled his purse with gold and silver elm leaves, hung them around his waist, and went out with Liu Heng and the others.

Kou Ji is not like Liu Heng and Cao Tong, who also brought three or five wealthy servants with them when they went out, and they specially carried copper coins for them to spend.

Although gold and silver were not legal tender in the Great Song Dynasty, they could be used as currency, so there was no need for Kou Ji to fight with copper coins.

Kou Ji is not short of money now, and is even gradually moving closer to the direction of spending too much money.

A few days ago, when Kou Zhong was helping Kou Ji take care of the 200 food estates in Jiangling, he also asked Kou Ji if he wanted to set up three or two minting workshops in the place where the 200 food towns in Jiangling were located.

When Kou Ji heard this proposal, he was shocked.

Do you still bring your own money to play?

Kou Zhong saw that Kou Ji didn't understand this, so he immediately gave Kou Ji a science popularization of the laws of the Great Song Dynasty coinage.

Under Kou Zhong's popular science, Kou Ji knew.

It is not legal to make copper coins privately in the Great Song Dynasty, but it is not illegal either.

Therefore, the private production of copper coins has become a trend, resulting in different pounds of copper coins in various places, and copper coins in various places have the characteristics of copper coins in various places, so that the exchange prices of gold to copper coins and silver to copper coins are also different.

In Bianjing City, one tael of silver can be used as a consistent half of money, but in Qinchuan and other places, one tael of silver can be used as ten pieces of money.

Not because the local copper is not valuable, but because the locals use iron money.

In Kou Ji's eyes, the monetary policy of the Great Song Dynasty is worse than a pot of rotten porridge.

That's it, the imperial court has always been in a state of half-control.

Kou Ji felt that if he set off a currency war, he would be able to take half of the money of the Great Song Dynasty into his own hands.

This idea is a bit sorry for Zhao Zhen.

So soon after Kou Ji gave birth to this idea, he decisively strangled the idea.

Then he happily approved Kou Zhong's establishment of a coinage workshop in Gangneung, and with a wave of his hand, let Kou Zhong build ten.

and also wrote a plan for Kou Zhong on how to cut corners and cast beautiful, durable, and everyone loves copper coins.

Kou Zhong got this plan and went to the craftsmen in the house to discuss.

He felt that if Kou Ji's plan was implemented in the government, it would be enough to make the money in the government multiply.

It is precisely because of this that Kou Ji no longer has to save money, and there is no need to find ways to make money.

What he has to do now is learn how to spend money.

How to spend a lot of money out.

Kou Ji's purse was stuffed with bulging, and the two colorful mandarin ducks were propped up fat.

Under the illumination of various lanterns in Bianjing City, it is very dazzling.

Liu Heng, Cao Tong, and Fan Zhongyan were with Kou Ji, and they had already seen the mandarin duck purse on Kou Ji's waist, but they chose not to ask Kou Ji about it very tacitly.

The four of them walked out of the alley where Koufu was located and wandered around the street, which was a little boring.

Liu Heng complained: "Compared with the Shangyuan Night of previous years, this year's Shangyuan Night is particularly deserted. ”

Fan Zhongyan said lightly: "During the great funeral of the first emperor, the rules that should be observed still have to be observed. ”

Liu Heng said unhappily: "Even if you don't let the medicine send puppets, and don't let the water army of Jinmingchi practice for the people to watch, then you have to make a lantern festival and let people guess the lantern riddles." ”

Fan Zhongyan pointed to the lantern riddle stall that replaced the lantern with a wooden sign on the side, and said, "Isn't that it?" ”

Liu Heng looked at the stall owner wearing a pale robe that was washed with pulp, and pouted: "A poor and sour, those three or five copper coins should be used as a reward, and it is okay for ignorant women and children, can you deceive me?"

It is also the lantern festival held by the imperial court, and the lantern festival held by other prefectures is more profitable. ”

Cao Tong smiled and said: "Charades are an elegant thing, how did you get into your mouth and become such a philistine." ”

Liu Heng snorted: "In order to lure others to guess riddles, they are also luring them with profit, why don't you say that they are philistines." ”

Fan Zhongyan's face darkened slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Vulgar, vulgar ......"

Liu Heng said disdainfully: "I know that you are a serious scholar, and you look down on us who are from noble backgrounds." But you are not a decent gentleman, after getting drunk in Kou Mansion a few days ago, you were shouting to find the girl. ”

When Fan Zhongyan heard this, his face turned red.

Just as he was about to refute, he saw that Kou Ji had already gathered in front of the anagram stall, threw down a silver leaf, and took away all the anagram signs hanging on the stall owner's shelf.

Then in the bewildered look of the stall owner, he waved his hand and said, "Go back...... I'm going to have this mess. ”

The stall owner looked at the silver leaves thrown on the table, the silver leaves that were two or two heavy, very dazzling.

He wanted it in his heart, but he didn't reach for it.

Instead, he arched his hand to Kou Ji and said seriously: "My generation of scholars, don't eat the food that comes to me." ”

Kou Ji took off the brand's hand, and pouted disdainfully: "If I give you food, I'm afraid you can't afford it." Hurry up and get out of the way, or let the people from the inspection department arrest you and eat the board. ”

Threats are always easier than soft words.

When the stall owner heard Kou Ji's words, he gritted his teeth, took the silver leaf on the table, and left the place decisively.

After the stall owner left, Fan Zhongyan walked up to Kou Ji and exclaimed, "Brother Kou Xian is really kind-hearted. ”

Cao Tong nodded on the side and said, "Brother Kou probably saw that the stall owner was wearing thin clothes, and he was afraid that he would freeze, so he bought his stall and asked him to go home early to accompany his family." ”

Kou Ji picked up the riddle sign on the stall, threw it into Liu Heng's arms, and muttered: "I mainly can't get used to seeing where you are arguing, so I simply bought this stall and gave you the anagram so that you can guess it at will."

Pity him?

There are many poor people in the world, why don't you see me to pity others.

When I left the alley of Koufu just now, those shivering beggars squatting at the mouth of the alley, why didn't I pity them? ”

Fan Zhongyan was puzzled: "Didn't Brother Kou Xian order someone to go back to the mansion and ask the housekeeper to give them a hot meal?" ”

Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said, "Every New Year's holiday, the government will give some rice grain to the beggars. ”

Cao Tong nodded on the side and said, "The same is true for our Cao Mansion. ”

Liu Heng said on the side: "When my father left Beijing, he also instructed me to do this. When I went to find the fourth brother, I had already sent it to them. ”

Fan Zhongyan sighed: "Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road......"

Kou Ji stared at him and said faintly: "When the court clothes on your body are changed to vermilion, your Fan Mansion is also Zhumen." ”

Fan Zhongyan closed his mouth in amusement.

The four men stood in front of a bare anagram booth and said nothing.

After a long time, Cao Tong suddenly said: "I heard that tonight, many people are holding a poetry party in the garden of the outer city, why don't we go and take a look?" ”

Fan Zhongyan nodded slowly.

Liu Heng pursed his lips and did not speak.

Kou Jiba smacked his lips and said, "What if you can't compose poetry?" ”

Cao Tong hurriedly said: "We went to the poetry club, not to compose poems, we are purely to see the girls from various provinces." ”

Fan Zhongyan raised his head proudly and said to Kou Ji: "Brother Kou Xian doesn't have to worry, everything has me." ”

Kou Ji was stunned and nodded slowly.

Fan Zhongyan agreed to go to the bottom, and Kou Ji no longer cared about it, and someone would invite him to compose poems at the poetry meeting.

Fan Zhongyan's talent, Kou Ji didn't doubt it at all.

After all, the poems made by this guy, even after a thousand years, must be memorized.

Fan Zhongyan agreed to help Kou Ji ghostwrite, and Kou Ji thought of the scene that Fan Zhongyan had made after chanting a poem and threatening to say that it was Kou Ji.

If there is still a chance to make that "The Story of Yueyang Tower" in the future, after finishing it, shout, this fu is made by Kou Ji, and Fan Zhongyan recites it.

That scene is absolutely enjoyable.

Seeing that the other three people agreed, Cao Tong took Kou Ji and the three of them all the way to the outer city.

Arrived in front of a garden in the outer city, next to the street pavilion.

After Cao Tong handed over a post, the host went out in person and welcomed them in.

To Kou Ji's surprise, the garden was actually the garden of Pan Shu, who was familiar with Kou Ji.

To be precise, it was the garden of Pan's mansion, which was given to Pan Shu.
