New Year's Day.

After the Manchu Dynasty civil and military accompanied Zhao Zhen to worship their ancestors, they went back to their homes to rest.

The same is true for Koji.

It's just that he didn't sleep long before he was woken up.

It was Zhao Run who woke him up.

When Kou Ji opened his eyes, he saw Zhao Run spinning in circles on the edge of his soft couch.

"What are you doing when you don't stay in the palace, come to my house?"

Zhao Run saw that Kou Ji was awake, spread out a hand, and put it in front of Kou Ji's eyes.

Kou Ji rolled his eyes, lazily closed his eyes again, and said nonchalantly: "Looking for your sister to go to ......"

Zhao Run leaned on the edge of Kou Ji's soft couch with a bitter face, and said, "My master is busy preparing things for tomorrow's hospitality, how can she have time to take care of me." ”

Kou Ji closed his eyes and said lightly: "Don't look for me, I don't have a ...... anyway"

Zhao Run came to find Kou Ji to make money for the New Year, and he didn't miss any opportunity to make money.

In the later generations, Kou Ji sent Zhao Run away with just two dollars, but not in ancient times.

The ancient New Year's money is different from the New Year's money of later generations.

The ancient New Year's money was first called the winning money, and the earliest winning money excavated in later generations was from the Han Dynasty.

In the Song Dynasty, it became New Year's money.

New Year's money doesn't mean that just give a copper coin and it's over.

The copper coins in private circulation are all minted with the emperor's year name.

And the New Year's money is cast with blessings such as longevity and 100 years old.

So most of the time, it's the people who cast it themselves.

It was not until the imperial court completely took back the coinage right and nationalized it.

The money that was minted privately by the people with a long life and a hundred years old was gone, and became copper coins wrapped in red envelopes.

The Great Song Dynasty is now gradually recovering the right to mint coins, but there are still coins among the people.

There were too few people in Kou Mansion during the Chinese New Year this year, so there was no New Year's money minted.

So Zhao Run asked Kou Ji if he wanted it, and Kou Ji said no, not pretending to be poor and stingy, but really not.

Zhao Run lay beside Kou Ji and said in a low voice: "Sir, I know you don't have it, but Shi Niang does." Shi Niang entered the palace a few days ago and exchanged for a New Year's money worth 50,000 yuan from my mother. ”

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment and asked, "It's all money, right?" ”

Zhao Run nodded heavily.

If it is exchanged for copper coins, it will not cost 50,000 yuan.

Kou Ji opened his eyes, glanced at Zhao Run, and said, "No wonder you came to me in a hurry." It turns out that I know that your master has money in her hands. ”

Zhao Run stretched out two fingers and said seriously: "I don't want much, how about two?" ”

Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Have you ever seen a bargain for New Year's money?" ”

Zhao Run was not ashamed, and said with a serious face: "But I don't give any of them, isn't it a little too unkind?" I'm your first student. ”

Kou Ji yawned and said, "It's yours, and it will definitely be given to you." Your master has exchanged so much money for you, and it must have been prepared for you. After all, most of the people in the Kou Mansion have now moved to the Korean Land, and you little ones are still staying in the mansion.

It stands to reason that you will visit you tomorrow and will give it to you.

It's rude for you to come here today to ask for it. ”

Zhao Run said with a smile: "I'm afraid that there will be too many people who will visit Mr. tomorrow, and I won't be able to catch up." ”

Kou Ji glared at Zhao Run, "Knowing that the rules in the palace are big, you may get afternoon when you come to the door tomorrow." I'll go back and tell your sister about it, and ask her to leave some for you. ”

"Thank you, sir......"

Zhao Runxi said.

Kou Ji hated iron and said: "It's just two coins, it's worth your personal trip?" I really didn't show up......"

Zhao Run said with a bright smile: "In addition to the student coming to ask for the New Year's money, there is also important news to tell Mr. ”

Kou Ji glanced at Zhao Run, "Jiaozi Shop is about to open?" ”

Zhao Run said with admiration: "Mr. is really like a god." It opened in fifteen years, and now preparations are underway. I heard that they exchanged a lot of copper coins from Yizizipu, and pulled a lot of copper coins from other places, and wanted to follow the old wisdom of Mr. Wang, and prepared to pile up millions of yuan on a carriage and transport them into Bianjing City, so as to make a name for themselves. ”

Kou Ji said faintly: "They have to thank your father, if it weren't for your father's cleaning up most of the royal relatives in Bianjing." They dare to pull money into Bianjing City with great fanfare, and they will be swallowed by others, and there will be no bones left. ”

Zhao Run naturally knew about the great achievements that Zhao Zhen had done, but he was not interested in this matter, he chased after Kou Ji and asked, "Sir, what should we do?" ”

Kou Ji said nonchalantly: "Go back and go to the Jiaozi Shop, take out your money and my money, and when the Jiaozi Shop opens, deposit it together." ”

Zhao Run's eyes widened in astonishment, "We want to take their money, how can we send them money?" ”

Kou Ji said angrily: "Then you go and beg your father now, let him transport the money to the newly opened Jiaozi shop, and let the people from the Five Cities Terracotta Division go directly to copy the newly opened Jiaozi shop." ”

Zhao Run shouted, "How can that be done?" What's the difference between that and a robber? After it spread, it will be detrimental to my father's reputation. ”

Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said, "Since you can't rob it alive, you can only outwit it." Outwitting is also strategic, and it is necessary to allow before taking.

If we don't save the money in it, don't fatten them up, and let them open a few more, wouldn't it be a loss?

Your father moves his hands and feet, that is, he will start with it.

You and I, one of the same scholars, and the eldest son of the emperor, can do it together, and it can't be bad, right?

Do they have a little money in their hands, and you are satisfied? ”

Zhao Run's eyes widened a little, and he exclaimed, "Mr. is ...... Can we make tens of millions of dollars at a time?! ”

Seeing Zhao Run's gaffe, Kou Ji said with a smile: "For Jiaozipu, money is a number. Once money is reduced to numbers, it's not a trivial fight.

It's common to move.

In the past, Shuzhong merchants established Shuzhong Jiaozi Shop.

It's just a few big households, and they have collected millions of dollars.

Now there are wealthy families opening Jiaozi shops behind them, and there are still eight of them.

Maybe these eight are still pushed out, and there may be many people behind them.

So we have to take a long-term view. ”

"When ......"

Just when Zhao Run's heart turned into a square hole shape, and he was about to jump up excitedly, the sound of porcelain breaking suddenly sounded at the door.

Kou Ji and Zhao Run looked at the door together, and saw where Wang Anshi was standing in a daze.

Obviously, I was stupid by the tens of thousands of guan in Kou Ji's mouth.

Kou Ji understands this very well.

It's like a person who is mixed up in the average family property of only a few hundred thousand, suddenly appeared in a group of bigwigs, and opened his mouth and closed his mouth to get hundreds of millions back.

Making money is as easy as getting water.

That kind of impact is really difficult for many people to accept.

"Don't make a fuss, come and sit ......"

Kou Ji greeted.

Wang Anshi came back to his senses, realized that he had lost his temper, and hurriedly saluted Kou Ji.

Kou Ji called Wang Anshi, explained to him and Zhao Run, and then sent them away.

Thereafter until the fifteenth.

Kou Ji has been staying at the mansion all this time.

Fifteenth.

Sure enough, as Zhao Run said, Jiaozi was opened, and his name was Bafang.

I don't know if it's the oblique intention of the eight families, or the meaning of taking the eight directions to welcome wealth.

The day of the opening of Bafang Jiaozi Shop.

The proprietors behind the scenes followed Kou Ji's old wisdom back then, and pulled a cart of copper coins into Bianjing City with a loud bang.

In an instant, the whole city was a sensation.

Zhao Run and Wang Anshi deposited all the 1.3 million yuan in Kou Ji's hand according to Kou Ji's instructions.

Got Jiaozi.

After Kou Ji saw the Jiaozi issued by Bafang Jiaozi Shop, he never paid attention to this matter again.

The Jiaozi of the Bafang Jiaozi Shop is an imitation of the word Jiaozi Shop.

In addition to the difference between the use of ink and the word Jiaozi shop, the others are no different from the word Jiaozi shop.

After reading it, Kou Ji simply gave an evaluation.

"Look for death!"

The Jiaozi issued by Bafang Jiaozi Shop has a large denomination.

It was stamped with a seal, but there was no secret word.

In order to distribute money to the soldiers on the battlefield and to give pensions to the widows of the soldiers who died in the war, Yizizipu took the secret language.

Bafang Jiaozi paved the book according to the book, and also took the secret language.

The Jiaozi template of the Jiaozi shop is very fine, it is very difficult to imitate, and more importantly, the ink is different, and its ink is blended, which is currently only known to Kou Ji and the four dumb slaves.

Others can't imitate the ink used in the word Jiaozi shop.

Therefore, the word Jiaozipu is not afraid of others to fake.

But the Jiaozi of the Bafang Jiaozi Shop, Kou Ji just glanced at it, and knew how it was printed and what ink was used.

Although I learned to shop with a word, I used multi-layer superimposed printing.

But in Kou Ji's eyes, it was not enough to see at all.

Kou Ji felt that it was not too easy to harvest the Bafang Jiaozi Shop, so he didn't take care of the Bafang Jiaozi Shop anymore and was ready to let it develop.

It's not too late to harvest when you've fattened up.

Kou Ji wanted to use a little clever means before, but when he saw that Bafang Jiaozipu was so stupid, he decided to use a simple method to harvest Bafang Jiaozipu.

Kou Ji is waiting for the Bafang Jiaozi shop to fatten.

Zhao Run was anxious to circle around Kou Ji's Mansion every day.

Time flickered, and it was February.

Two pieces of good news reached Koji's ears.

"Sir, except for Jiangnan, the commercial tax rights in the rest of the places have almost been taken back."

In the study of the bamboo courtyard, Fan Zhongyan said to Kou Ji with a smile.

After half a year of busyness, Fan Zhongyan has lost a lot of weight, and there are a lot of bloodshots in his eyes.

Kou Ji looked at Fan Zhongyan and said, "You will hand over the commercial tax rights in Jiangnan to Bao Zheng, and I believe Bao Zheng will handle it for you." ”

Fan Zhongyan nodded with a smile and said, "I have already informed Bao Zheng." Bao Zheng said that he would be able to get it back at the end of the year. ”

Kou Ji nodded and said, "How is the tax stamp implemented?" ”

Fan Zhongyan said frankly: "Although there are some bumps, compared with those wealthy families in the people, it will be relatively fair, and there is no other harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, so the people are still more recognized."

The implementation is also very smooth. ”

Kou Ji smiled and asked, "So it's not far from the tax department to turn from dark to light?" ”

Fan Zhongyan nodded solemnly.

Kou Ji smiled and said, "Then it's time for the business law to be implemented." ”

Fan Zhongyan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Have Mr. and the official family agreed on the commercial law?" ”

Kou Ji smiled and nodded.

Fan Zhongyan asked again, "When will you take it out?" ”

Kou Jishen said mysteriously: "There is still an opportunity left. ”

Fan Zhongyan asked, "What opportunity?" ”

Kou Ji laughed and said: "An official family is angry and has the opportunity to change the law of business. ”

Fan Zhongyan groaned, "How long will it take?" ”

"It's almost ......"

“……”

Fan Zhongyan nodded, and without asking any more questions, he said to Kou Ji: "A few days ago, Su Xun sent a letter to the student, saying that he would return to Beijing in the near future, does Mr. know?" ”

Kou Ji nodded and smiled: "Su Xun has made a lot of contributions to his reappointment, making Bohai Mansion a rich place, and the official family is the master of transferring him back to Beijing. ”

Fan Zhongyan hesitated: "Su Xun told the student before that he wanted to serve one more term in Bohai Mansion to stabilize the foundation of Bohai Mansion's wealth.

The gentleman should have known about this, why was he suddenly transferred back? ”

Kou Ji said with a smile: "This matter is the master of the official family himself, and it can be seen that the official family admires Su Xun very much and thinks that he is a cadre."

The one who went to replace Su Xun was a cadre, and he couldn't do anything else, so he liked to use Xiao Gui Cao's means. ”

Fan Zhongyan frowned and said, "That's inaction......"

Kou Ji shook his head and smiled: "Now Bohai Mansion needs an official who doesn't do much. If you send a capable person to go, won't you change the Bohai Mansion that Su Xun worked so hard to build beyond recognition? ”

Fan Zhongyan said with tears and laughter: "I didn't expect that inaction is also beneficial." ”

Kou Ji said with a smile: "Everyone has everyone's use, it depends on where they are used." ”

Fan Zhongyan smiled bitterly and nodded approvingly.

After Fan Zhongyan accompanied Kou Ji to talk about some things about the tax department, he left the bamboo courtyard.

Half a month later.

Su Xun was summoned to Beijing, with a large family, and he was in the dust.

After arriving in Bianjing, he went to the Ministry of Officials to hand over the decree, went to the Ministry of Household to receive the house allocated to him by the imperial court, and after settling his family, he rushed to the bamboo courtyard to pay a visit.

"Student Su Xun, I've seen Mr. ......"

In the study.

Su Xun bowed down to greet him.

Kou Ji looked Su Xun up and down, and said with emotion: "I'm thin, and I'm dark." ”

Su Xun straightened his waist and said with a bright smile: "The students are guarding the seaside, and they are naturally thin and dark when they are exposed to the wind and sun every day. ”

Kou Ji spoke again: "It's also mature......"

In just a few years, Su Xun has changed from the little guy who jumped out of the past to a mature and stable adult.

Kou Ji looked at him, a little embarrassed.

Su Xun smiled and said, "In front of Mr., the student is always a teenager. ”

Kou Ji waved his hand, let Su Xun sit next to him, and ordered someone to serve tea.

Kou Ji asked Su Xun about many things he had seen about his position in Bohai Mansion.

Su Xun knows everything, and there is no end to what he says.

After chatting about Bohai Mansion, Kou Ji asked with a smile: "I heard that there is a prodigy in your family, and he can compose poems at the age of four?" ”

Su Xun cried and laughed: "It's just that under the teaching of the cheap, I learned some words, and shouted a five-word song in a patchwork." It's unsightly, it's not beautiful, it's not a poem at all. ”

Kou Ji smiled: "I'll take a look when I go back and bring it over." ”

Su Xun was stunned for a moment, then his eyes rolled, he was a little excited, and he said with some excitement: "Mr. wants to take Xiao'er as an apprentice?" ”

Kou Ji said angrily and funny: "Are you crazy? You are my student, and if I accept your son as a student again, wouldn't that be a mess? ”

Su Xun said with a bright smile: "The student is a protégé, and the child is a disciple, which is different." ”

Kou Ji scolded with tears and laughter: "In order to let that yellow-mouthed son of your family worship under my door, you can say such shameless words?" ”

Su Xun smiled and didn't speak.

It is rare for Kou Ji to open the door to accept disciples, and his son can worship under Kou Ji's door, which is a blessing.

With Kou Ji's irradiation, his son will definitely have a good future in the future.

As a father, how can he not want his son to have a good future.

As for the issue of seniority, Su Xun didn't care.

Su Xun can be stubborn sometimes, but that doesn't mean he's stupid.

Kou Ji pointed at Su Xun and scolded with a smile: "You are shameless, but I want skin." The threshold of my Kou Mansion is very high, and there are countless people who want to enter my Kou Mansion to apprentice.

Whether your son can enter the Kou Mansion or not, we have to see it later.

Even if I allow your son to get started, I won't be commensurate with his mentor and apprentice. ”

Su Xun said with a smile: "It's a great blessing to be able to get started, how dare you pick and choose." ”

Kou Ji smiled and shook his head.

"After talking about private matters, let's talk about official affairs, this time the official family summoned you to Beijing, preparing for you to go to the household department to serve as a foreign officer. Previously, Wailang, a member of the household department, spoke wildly in Yanfu Palace, and was dismissed by the official family, but now there is just a vacancy, and you will fill it. ”

Su Xun glanced at Kou Ji and said in a low voice, "Sir...... I'm also a nobleman...... Even if you enter Bianjing City and be demoted to three levels, it shouldn't be a foreigner......"

Kou Ji rolled his eyes, "Don't think that just because you've made a little credit, you think it's amazing. If you can be appointed as the prefect of Bohai Prefecture, I will also promote you exceptionally.

Now that he has entered Beijing and become a Beijing official, he naturally has to follow the rules. ”

Su Xun smiled and said, "Students will only say anything in front of you." Tell your students what the hell is going on. ”

Su Xun was appointed as the prefect and was promoted exceptionally.

But the prefect is the prefect, and he was promoted because of his great contributions to the court, so he should not be just a foreigner after returning to the court.

Kou Ji glanced at Su Xun and said, "You sit in the household department, just watch, only listen, don't speak." You'll understand in a few days. ”

Su Xun's eyes lit up, "In other words, when students go to the household department, they sit in the office?" Will you go somewhere else in a few days? ”

Kou Ji rolled his eyes, "Knowing so clearly won't do you any good." ”

Su Xun hurriedly nodded, "The student understands. ”

Kou Ji and Su Xun's master and apprentice finished chatting about business, and after a meal, Su Xun left.

Next.

Su Xun entered the palace to meet Zhao Zhen, and then got the documents of the political hall and became a member of the household department.

After sitting in the household department for half a day, I met some colleagues, and after declining the reception and dust washing banquet of my colleagues, I hurriedly returned to my mansion and hurried to the bamboo courtyard with my two sons.

In the bamboo courtyard.

Zhao Runzheng was standing in front of Kou Ji, and said this to Kou Ji in a hurried voice.

"Sir, there are already four Bafang Jiaozi shops. When are we going to do it? ”

Kou Ji heard Zhao Run's words and said in a deep voice, "Four? It's time to get your hands dirty. ”

Zhao Run was so excited that he almost didn't jump.

"How?"

Kou Ji handed Zhao Run a Jiaozi hand, "Go and take out ninety percent of the money we have in the Bafang Jiaozi Shop." By the way, let's take a look at what is going on in Bafang Jiaozi Shop. ”

Zhao Run's chicken nodded like a peck of rice, and hurried to the outside of the bamboo courtyard with Jiaozi.

When passing by the three of Su's father and son, his footsteps did not stop.

Su Xun still wanted to take his sons to give gifts.

But seeing that Zhao Run didn't mean to see the courtesy, he didn't pay attention to Zhao Run.

Su Xun took his son to Kou Ji, and after giving the salute, he said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Shou is really unique......

Kou Ji smiled and said, "He's just simple-minded, he doesn't have too many ideas, and he doesn't have an opinion about you, so you don't have to think about it." ”

Su Xun nodded and smiled: "Students have been in the office for some years, and I can see this." ”

Kou Ji nodded, smiled, and looked at the two little dolls beside Su Xun.

The eldest is seven years old, thin and weak, with a sallow face, and after seeing Kou Ji, he behaves in a proper manner.

The youngest four-year-old, ruddy-faced, chubby, after seeing Kou Ji, he didn't give a salute, tilted his head, and stared at Kou Ji curiously.

If it weren't for Su Xun pressing his head to Kou Ji, he probably wouldn't have bowed his head to Kou Ji.

Kou Ji laughed as he watched the chubby little guy raise his head and pouted at himself.

"At a young age, I refused to bow my head, and when I was older, I paid it back."

Su Xun hurriedly said: "The neglect of discipline in the cheap inner made Mr. laugh." ”

Kou Ji waved his hand and said, "It's okay, child." If you are not sensible, you should be, and if you are sensible, then there will be a big problem. ”

Su Xun nodded heavily.

The chubby little guy said with a stinky face: "You are my father's husband?" ”

Su Xun patted his head and glared, "There are no rules......

Kou Ji smiled indifferently: "It's okay......"

After saying this, he looked at the seven-year-old doll standing next to him, without saying a word.

"Said the good one, you actually brought both, are you taking advantage of it enough? When you sir, am I here in the Garden of Solitude? ”

Kou Ji stared at the seven-year-old doll and talked to Su Xun.

The seven-year-old little doll hesitated for a moment, and stood there stunned, letting Kou Ji look at it.

Actually, he wanted to bow his head.

Because he was older, he knew more than his stinky brother, and he knew that the person in front of him was amazing, so he didn't dare to look at him directly.

But he thought of his mother's advice, and still raised his head in a proper manner and let Kou Ji watch.

Su Xun heard Kou Ji's words and hurriedly said, "Sir, the student's two sons are not bad. ”

Kou Ji looked at the seven-year-old doll and asked Su Xun in a deep voice, "He seems to be seriously ill?" ”

Hearing this, Su Xun's face darkened, "He is the eldest son of the student, Su Jingxian, who suffered from a fatal illness when he was four years old, and thanks to the doctor of the forensic medicine hall, he can live until now."

It's just that although his serious illness has passed, he still has a future illness, and he must always use medicinal herbs to continue his life. ”

When Kou Ji heard Su Xun's words, he understood what was going on.

According to historical records, Su Xun's eldest son, Su Jingxian, died of illness when he was three or four years old, and the specific illness is unknown.

Because of Kou Ji's appearance, he founded the forensic medicine hall, which changed Su Xun's fate, made him contact with the people of the forensic medicine hall, and saved Su Jingxian's life.

The doctor of the forensic medical hall is not a servant in the yamen and a doctor in the army.

That was after the establishment of the Forensic Museum, he defected from the apricot forest to the serious apricot forest master in the forensic hall.

Although the master of Xinglin shouted and killed the people in the forensic hall.

But there are also many who are obsessed with medical skills and deviant.

They couldn't find an organization before, but after they had a forensic hall, they were organized, so after learning about the medical skills of the forensic hall, they resolutely entered the forensic hall.

He has become a scum in the apricot forest and a master in the forensic hall.

They belong to the kind of people who have learned from both China and the West.

He is proficient in Chinese medicine and has also learned Western medicine.

That's why it's called a doctor.
