Kou Ji looked at Zhao Run's tearful accusation of Empress Cao's evil deeds, and knew that Empress Cao had indeed gone a little too far this time.

Zhao Run didn't leave a copper plate, so it's no wonder that Zhao Run didn't cry.

If it were him, he might cry worse than Zhao Run.

It's a pity that he can't find his parents anymore.

In this world, there is no father and no mother.

Father, don't worry about him, it's good to be able to stand up straight in front of him and speak confidently.

"You're a big kid too, so you should have some spare money in your hands."

Zhao Run is not too old now, and in the next life, he will be a doll who is still studying, and his parents are spoiled.

But in the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Run is already qualified to deal with some things alone.

In this case, Empress Cao should not have scavenged Zhao Run too cleanly.

Anyway, he is also the eldest prince, go out to drink with others, visit the garden, others wave their hands, gold and silver into the rain, he waved his hand, the breeze on his sleeves, too ugly.

Kou Ji, the initiator of Zhao Run's tragedy today, did not feel ashamed of doing evil at all, but said to Zhao Run with great pity: "It's just a little money, it's not a big deal." There is a saying that the daughter is scattered and comes back, and the money can be earned again when the money is gone. ”

Zhao Run raised his head, stared at Kou Ji a little sadly, and asked, "Do you think it's useful for me to make money now?" If you earn it, you will be collected, and if you earn it, you will be collected, so what else do I earn. ”

Kou Ji saw that Zhao Run's eyes were a little red, and he knew that he was really sad.

Although Zhao Run is not very old, he is not a person who likes to cry.

Since he experienced the experience of Liaodi, he has been quite solid.

On weekdays, when I made a mistake in the palace, and when I was beaten by the eunuchs, I didn't say a word.

Now it's red-eyed.

It can be seen that Empress Cao's method of despairing has hurt him a lot.

In order to comfort him, Kou Ji smiled and said, "You can keep your money with me for the time being." Come and get it when you need it.

No matter how fierce your mother is, it is impossible for her to come to my house to withdraw money, right?

If she really does this, then I will have to go into the palace and ask your father to see if my Pingzhang matter under the Tongzhong Book Sect counts. ”

Zhao Run said with some disbelief: "Really...... Really ......"

Kou Ji laughed and said, "You go out and inquire and see who has the courage to move things from under me." ”

Zhao Run hesitated and said, "Then you...... Will you be greedy for my money? ”

Kou Ji's face darkened in an instant.

"Get out!"

"Get out, you write me a word first."

Zhao Run touched his nose while standing up straight, took out a short book from his cuff, and handed it to Kou Ji, "The words you write casually are no longer valuable." Now I have to write as people ask. ”

Seeing this, Kou Ji glared angrily, "I have a lot of things to do with the middle school, and a random word can be worth millions of dollars." When will you be able to allow others to pick and choose? ”

Zhao Run pouted and said: "No matter how valuable the word is, if you sell more than two hundred pairs a month, it will be worthless." ”

Kou Ji hated iron and scolded: "Don't you know that scarcity is expensive? ”

Zhao Run rolled his eyes and said, "I also want to wait for them to be worth their value before selling them, but those wronged people in other places can't wait."

People in Bianjing, who dares to buy your words in a grand manner.

They all know how powerful you are, and if you hang your words on the house without your permission, eighty percent of them will be killed.

So they won't buy your words at all.

Only those wronged leaders in other places dare to buy your words at a clear price.

Anyway, they only know your fame, but they don't know how good you are. ”

Kou Ji glared at Zhao Run, took the short book from Zhao Run's hand, looked it up and down, and then scolded, "Let me copy someone else's birthday message, lie that it was made by myself, and have to use a private seal?"

Don't even think about it. ”

Zhao Run said frankly: "Words are bought with money, and whoever signs them can sign it." You say that you did it, and no one will debunk it. ”

Kou Ji rubbed his eyebrows and threw the short book to Zhao Run.

Zhao Run is right, only those nouveau riche and wronged leaders in other places dare to spend money so blatantly to make him copy words.

They didn't know how powerful Kou Ji was, and even regarded this as a way for Kou Ji to solicit bribes and collect money, so they dared to act blatantly.

Replace it with someone from Bianjing City, you try.

Kou Ji wrote two words casually and threw them at him, asking him for 20,000 yuan, and he would think that the pen fee was less.

Ignorance is a blessing, and it is true.

"Hold something, get out of here, I won't do such a shady thing."

Kou Ji drove Zhao Run away dissatisfied.

Zhao Run didn't move, stretched out two fingers and said, "Two hundred thousand!" ”

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment and hesitated: "It's a bit too generous." ”

Zhao Run nodded and said, "It is said that he is a rich man, and his son is studying in the Wenchang Academy and came to visit." I heard that your words were sold, so I bid 200,000 yuan and asked you to write a birthday message for his old father, who was about to turn 80 years old. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Run paused for a moment and emphasized: "People have repeatedly emphasized that they must be authentic. ”

Kou Ji was slightly stunned, and said suspiciously: "What was sold before the co-authorship was considered a fake?" ”

Zhao Run cried and laughed and said: "You are the famous God of Wealth in my Great Song Dynasty, with a huge family fortune and a high power, who would dare to believe that you sell words for profit." ”

Kou Ji cried and laughed: "That's what you said...... But you're selling it for a lot of money. ”

Zhao Run hurriedly said: "Although they can't believe that the word is genuine, they know that it is from the handwriting of a famous artist. That's why they're willing to pay such a high price.

You know, the paper you use is Chengxintang paper, and that thing is a tribute, and ordinary people are not qualified to use it. ”

Kou Ji asked, "Even so, why do people dare to ask for the real thing?" ”

Zhao Run decisively gave an evaluation, "Stupid and bold." ”

Kou Ji sighed and said, "Ignorance is really a blessing. That's it, his old father lived to be eighty years old, which can be regarded as a long life, even if he meets the official family, he can ask for a word.

I'll just write him a word.

When asked, you say it's a lie. ”

Zhao Run glared in astonishment, "How can one word be enough?" ”

Kou Ji said angrily: "Authentic! One word is 200,000 yuan, and everything is lost. That's to be stamped with a private seal. ”

When Zhao Run heard this, he didn't speak again.

Kou Ji walked to the desk and instructed Zhao Run to grind the ink.

Wait until the thick ink forms a ball in the inkstone.

With a stroke of his pen, Koji scribbled a word on the paper.

That's a 'longevity' word.

Zhao Run's eyes lit up when he saw that word, and he stared at Kou Ji with burning eyes.

"Why, do you think that when others say that your husband is not a good learner, I can't write a good hand?"

Kou Ji asked with a smile.

Zhao Run nodded violently, "This word 'longevity' is more than a star and a half stronger than the previous words." I'm afraid you drew what you wrote in the past, right?

That's your real pen. ”

Kou Ji used a private seal on the painting, and waved his hand to tell Zhao Run to hurry up and get out of the way.

Zhao Runru put away the words as if he had received the treasure, and ran out of the door with his head bored.

Just arrived at the door.

I heard Koji's voice behind me.

"Remember, 200,000 yuan, one less will not be sold."

"After all, you're still worried about the 200,000 yuan?"

"Get out of here!"

Kou Ji scolded.

Zhao Run hurriedly left with the words.

Kouji's study was calm again.

But Bianjing City once again set off waves because of him.

Tongzhongshu is under the Pingzhang Shi Kou Ji accepts students, one or two.

What's more, they became brothers with the eldest prince.

After Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong appeared in the Wenchang Academy with Kou Ji's name post, the news was like a gust of wind blowing all over Bianjing City.

For a while, the wealthy families all moved the idea of sending their heirs to study under Kou Jimen.

Young people of the same age as Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong moved to teach Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong.

Some of the older ones were also faintly moved.

The literary scene in Bianjing City is completely lively.

Kou Ji, who started the crime, did not have the leisure to take care of this matter.

After the Great Song and Jiaozhi discussed the deal.

Zhao Zhen instructed the people of the household department and the Ministry of Industry to prepare materials.

The news that Da Song had acquired Jiaozhi with money also spread quickly in the court.

Some of the ministers felt that Jiaozhi was a barbarian land, and the acquisition of Jiaozhi by the Great Song Dynasty was a loss-making transaction.

As soon as these words came out, Wang Zeng and Cai Qi sprayed a dog blood on their heads.

Some of the military ministers felt that there was no need for the court to buy Jiaozhi, the land of projectiles.

Give them a soldier and horse, and they can make Jiaozhi the territory of the Great Song Dynasty by the end of the year.

Kou Ji did not speak out, and Yang Wenguang, the head of the military ministers, did not happen.

No matter how fierce the warriors shouted, they could only shout.

The transaction between Da Song and Jiaozhi was carried out in an orderly manner.

Cochin needs a lot of materials.

Bianjing City can't get so many supplies.

Therefore, the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry cooperated to apportionment to the yamen in various places, and exchanged the reduced taxes for the materials in the hands of the local wealthy families.

Then the local yamen sent people to transport it to the prefecture, and then from each prefecture to the adjacent port, the port is met by a large ship, and then it will be sent to Jiaozhi together.

After the materials were thoroughly distributed to the localities.

It was also time for the Jiaozhi envoys and the Great Song officials who had gone to hand over to the handover.

The iron materials prepared by the Ministry of Works, as well as bows and crossbows, and craftsmen, followed the officials of the Great Song Dynasty and went to Jiaozhi.

Cai Qi has been in charge of political affairs for less than a year, and he has become the chief of Jiaozhi and has to rush to Jiaozhi.

As soon as this news was announced, there was an uproar in the government and the opposition.

The officials in the court became a lot more respectful to Kou Ji.

This matter was obviously requested by Cai Qi on his own initiative, but in the eyes of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, it became coerced by Kou Ji.

Cai Qi was Kou Ji's first victim to eradicate dissidents.

On the way to send Cai Qi out of Beijing.

Kou Ji and Cai Qi sat together in the tea shed on the side of the road, watching the tens of thousands of people accompanying them constantly escort supplies past them.

Cai Qi took a breath of syrup, looked at Kou Ji and said, "Don't you need me to explain it for you?" ”

Kou Ji smiled and said, "Explain what?" I don't need to explain, it's nice to be scared. A few days ago, I was deceived by a stinky boy and sold it for 200,000 yuan, and the matter was caught by the imperial historians and impeached me for a long time.

Now as soon as you leave, they immediately die down.

It feels good to take your Liwei. ”

Cai Qi couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's not easy for the imperial historians...... Don't bully them too hard......"

Kou Ji said frankly: "I always feel that if the imperial historians feel that an official has a problem, they can ask the official to go to the imperial history platform to facilitate themselves, and then do an investigation."

After obtaining real evidence, impeachment will have a greater effect.

It's easy to be taken advantage of. ”

Cai Qi didn't agree with Kou Ji's idea a little, "If the imperial historians don't hear the wind, how can they wake up the world?" If the investigation is carried out first and then impeached, it will be a robbery of the functions of the Criminal Department. ”

Speaking of this, Cai Qi said with some embarrassment: "More importantly, the imperial historians can't afford to offend the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. Although my Great Song Dynasty is now moving towards a prosperous era, it is not the world of great governance mentioned by the sage after all.

The prince broke the law, but he couldn't be guilty of the same crime as the common people.

It is a capital crime for people to harm people's lives.

But what about the princes?

At most, it will be in the Zongren Mansion for a few days.

What about dignitaries?

There are countless ways to kill people without being held accountable.

Therefore, even if some people are guilty, if they find it out, it is still in vain, and it is easy to offend people.

After stumbling with the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, offending the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, there will be no place for the Yushitai in the court.

Therefore, the imperial historians can only listen to the wind and do things, and when they have nothing to do, they can knock and knock on the emperor's relatives and relatives, and knock and knock on the dignitaries and nobles, so that they can restrain their evil thoughts.

In this way, they can save the people and themselves without saying that they have sinned to death. ”

Kou Ji naturally knew this.

In this era under the rule of one person, the word human affection is full of the top and bottom of the Great Song Dynasty.

So there will always be people who will get away with it after making mistakes.

Unless this era under the rule of one person becomes an era ruled by many people, there is no way to avoid it.

But after Cai Qi finished speaking, Kou Ji was still full of surprise, "There is a popular rumor that you Cai Gonggang is upright and not afraid of the powerful, it is hard for me to imagine that these words actually came out of your mouth." ”

Cai Qi said quietly: "I have been up and down in the Huan Sea for many years, and I don't understand any reason. But understanding the truth is understanding the reason, and doing things is doing things. If I, the middle prince of the imperial history, am also afraid of the powerful, I am not upright enough.

Who still dares to act upright, and who dares to argue with the powerful?

In the long run, those powerful people lost their beatings, and they didn't go around one by one.

So, sometimes, I know that there are tigers in the mountains, and I have to take great strides into the mountains. ”

Kou Ji pondered for a moment, and nodded thoughtfully, "Go to Jiaozhi, Cai Gong shouldn't have too much burden, you can do it spontaneously." ”

Cai Qi smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The people who migrated to Jiaozhi before were about 130,000. Subsequently, there were more than 100,000 people drawn from the soldiers and horses from all over the country.

More than 200,000 people are counting on me to live.

How dare I act rashly. ”

Kou Ji exclaimed: "Cai Gong is high-minded, I can't compare." ”

Cai Qi shook his head and said, "Okay, don't flatter me." What about the man you promised me? ”

Kou Ji said with a smile: "They have already rushed to Jiaozhi with some craftsmen and some merchants. When you arrive at Cochin, you will be able to see a Cochin Mansion that is the same as my Great Song Dynasty. ”

Cai Qi was stunned for a moment, and then said funny: "Don't you let me live in the Jiaozhi Palace?" ”

Kou Ji sighed: "When you arrive at Jiaozhi, I'm afraid that the king of Jiaozhi will have already pulled out the palace of Jiaozhi." When the time comes, all that's left for you is a ruin.

Do you still want to live on the ruins? ”

The king of Jiaozhi County, Cao Yu, was born in the army.

People who come from the army have a problem, that is, where they pass, they dig three feet into the ground.

If Cao Yu wants to leave Jiaozhi, he will definitely scavenge Jiaozhi cleanly, leaving Cai Qi with a blank field and a large number of dazed people.

Cai Qi groaned: "The king of Jiaozhi County is not so unkind, right? Don't even give me a place to live? ”

Kou Ji didn't answer Cai Qi's words, but asked rhetorically, "What about you?" ”

Cai Qi was stunned for a moment, and hesitated: "I'm afraid even people will be taken away." ”

After saying this, he stopped talking about it with Kou Ji.

Because if it were him, he would be more ruthless than the king of Jiaozhi.

Even so, there was no way to pray for the mercy of the king of Jiaozhi.

Kou Ji advised: "If I am not bad as expected, after handing over Jiaozhi, the king of Jiaozhi will either enter the sea or go west. But no matter where he goes, you can't miss it.

When he enters the sea, you have people set up a harbor by the sea.

If he goes to the west, you will establish a border city on the west.

He wants to fight for another foothold for Cochin.

The thirst for supplies is endless.

Most of Jiaozhi is not as industrious as the people of my Great Song Dynasty.

So it is very likely that he will sell a large amount of loot to me in exchange for supplies.

So don't miss it. ”

Cai Qi groaned and looked at Kou Ji, "Lying on someone else's body and drinking blood?" ”

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "You can't get used to it?" ”

Cai Qi shook his head and asked, "How much do you drink?" ”

Hearing Cai Qi say this, Kou Ji knew that Cai Qi was not disgusted by this matter.

The literati of the Great Song Dynasty were very selfish.

They are the best for themselves, then the people under their rule, and finally the people outside the territory.

They feel guilty when they bully the people under their rule.

But when bullying outsiders, I didn't feel the slightest guilt in my heart.

Even people like Li Di, Zhang Zhibai, and Cai Qi who blew their beards and stared at everyone for the sake of the lives of the people, when they watched people from outside the territory die in front of them, there was no wave at all.

It seems that the people of the Great Song Dynasty are their lifeblood.

And those people outside the territory are grass mustard.

This is also the only thing that Kou Ji likes about the literati of the Great Song Dynasty.

Kou Ji faced Cai Qi's question and replied decisively, "You can drink as much as Gong Li drinks." Don't squeeze too much, but let the water flow for a long time.

In addition, you are not only leading the people to farm the land, but also dredging the road to Jiaozhi.

It will provide some convenience for us to trade with the king of Jiaozhi in the future.

It is very expensive to travel all the way by sea or to take the mountain trails.

The money earned back, after deducting the freight, I'm afraid there won't be much left. ”

Cai Qi groaned and nodded.

Kou Ji continued: "The people sent by my government are not only familiar with Jiaozhi, but also familiar with business, and are also familiar with the operation of the border markets of the imperial court.

All in all, in the eyes of others, Cochin is a barren place.

But in my eyes, Cochin is a treasure trove.

Cochin not only has grain, but also many gems, gold mines, silver mines, jewelry, jade, spices and other materials in the mountains and forests.

And the loot that came to us to sell their stolen goods.

As long as the business is good, the tax revenue of Jiaozhi every year can catch up with many wealthy mansions in my Great Song Dynasty. ”

Cai Qi was stunned and said, "Can you catch up with Jiangning Mansion?" ”

Kou Ji said with a smile: "Jiangning Mansion has been prosperous since ancient times, if you want to catch up with Jiangning Mansion, not only have goods and money, but also have a foundation."

When did a wealthy businessman settle down in Cochin?

When will the students of Jiaozhi Mansion be able to fight against the students in other parts of my Great Song Dynasty.

When can Jiaozhi be compared to Jiangning Mansion. ”

Although there are many treasures in Cochin, after they are developed, they immediately leave Cochin, and there is no wealth to stay in Cochin.

When the treasure of Cochin is emptied, it is the time when Cochin is abandoned.

Therefore, the short-term prosperity of a place is not considered wealth.

Only if you continue to be rich for a long time can you be truly rich.

For example, in later generations, some major mineral cities, in the heyday of mineral mining, were full of flowers, but once the minerals were exhausted, they would quickly return to the ordinary.

It's just that the city that relies on the economy to pull up, once it loses its economic pillar, there will be drawbacks immediately.

Therefore, for a city to develop for a long time, it must not only develop the economy, but also develop politics, culture and many other fields.

Cai Qi can also be regarded as an official for many years, and has been a herdsman for a long time.

So he can understand Kou Ji's words.

In fact, there is no need for Kou Ji to say more, he will also focus on taking care of education.

After all, under his governance, even if it produces more food, in the eyes of everyone, it is just a place to turn outside.

But if Cochin can give birth to ten or eight jinshi.

That's a big difference.

The place where Jinshi can be born, whoever dares to call it a place outside the country will be sprayed to death by all the scholars in the country.

Therefore, what can make everyone in the Great Song Dynasty recognize Jiaozhi is not food, but education.

Li Di has been in Hexi for many years and has managed Hexi into a big granary.

There have been no famous scholars in Hexi so far, so the officials in Hexi do not have a high voice in the court.

In the entire Hexi, only Li Di, Du Yan, and Chen Yaozhi, who is still in Hexi, can speak to the imperial court.

The other Zhizhou, who had the right to hand over the recital to the imperial court, were not valued by the imperial court at all.

The people of Hexi went out of Hexi and arrived in the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty, and the people of the Great Song Dynasty had problems looking at others.

They will always suspect that the people of Hexi have barbarian blood.

Therefore, education is an important part of making everyone in the Great Song Dynasty recognize a place.

"I'm afraid I won't see that anymore...... But I'm doing some now, and the people behind me are going to do less. ”

Cai Qi sighed.

As if remembering something, Cai Qi said with a smile: "I'm a little glad now that I didn't let my children and grandchildren in the family go out early like Li Di."

Although my children and grandchildren are not talents, under my tutelage, it is still very easy to get a jinshi.

When I arrived in Jiaozhi, I immediately set up Mongolian schools in various parts of Jiaozhi.

Then open the department.

The next time the court takes a scholar, I will definitely have a talented person on the list. ”
