The official sedan chair fell at the gate of the house.

Kou Zhun lifted the sedan curtain tiredly and saw Kou Ji.

Seeing that there was an extra attendant behind Kou Ji, he was also stunned for a moment.

"I've seen my grandfather!"

Kou Ji hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Erbao pulled Lu Ming and followed behind Kou Ji in a panic.

Kou Zhun glanced at Kou Ji and pouted, "Went out and fooled around again?" ”

The corners of Kou Ji's mouth twitched, and he defended unwillingly: "Grandson didn't go out to fool around, grandson has a new shop, and he needs to take care of ......"

Before Kou Ji could finish his words, Kou Zhun interrupted him.

Kou Zhun got out of the sedan chair and complained: "There is no shortage of food and clothing for you in the house, do you need to run a cheap business to make a living?" ”

Kou Ji opened his mouth and didn't speak.

Kou Ji is a human being in two lives, and he has a lot of experience in getting along with his elders.

When the elder speaks, just listen to it, the more you refute, the more fierce he reprimands.

Seeing that Kou Ji didn't speak, Kou Zhun continued: "Even if you manage the cheap business well, the profit every month is only 100 yuan, which is not enough for a fraction of the old man's fortune......"

When Kou Ji heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh.

He felt that Kou Zhun was a little inferior to him.

If he devotes all his mind to doing business, it will be easy for his monthly income to exceed Kou Zhun's.

Kou Zhun does have a lot of money.

The Song Dynasty has always implemented a policy of high salaries and incorruptibility in the area of courtiers.

Kou Zhun is the position of the prince and the prince, because it is a fictitious position, and there are fewer salaries, so the monthly salary is only about 120 yuan.

However, the officials of the Song Dynasty, in addition to the monthly salary, also had 20 silk horses, 30 silk horses, 100 taels of cotton, and 100 stones of Lu Su Yue every month. In addition, tea, wine, kitchen materials, salaries, artemisia, charcoal, salt, and even fodder for horses, food and clothing, food and other subsidies for the accompanying servants add up to about 240 yuan, plus 120 yuan of monthly salaries, that is, 360 yuan.

However, Kou Zhun also wears many hats.

He also served as the Pingzhang Shi of Tongzhongshu Province, which is commonly known as the prime minister.

The prime minister's monthly salary, as well as various subsidies, add up to about 900 yuan.

In addition, Kou Zhun also has the title of scholar of the Guanwen Temple on his head.

The monthly salary, as well as various subsidies, add up to about 500 yuan.

Kou Zhun's monthly income adds up to 1,760 yuan.

It is worth mentioning that Kou Zhun is also one of the few officials in Beijing who has a job.

According to the Song law, Beijing officials were not allowed to own vocational fields, and only expatriate officials had vocational fields.

But Kou Zhun was demoted three times, and Zhao Heng gave a lot of job land each time as compensation.

After Kou Zhun returned to the court, he repeatedly wrote to Zhao Heng to take back his job, but Zhao Heng did not agree.

Therefore, these vocational fields are still in Kou Zhun's name, and every year they are old, they have to contribute a lot of money to Kou Zhun.

All in all, Kou Zhun's income is indeed very impressive.

But, even so, Kou Ji still has countless abilities that can make his monthly income exceed Kou Zhun.

On this issue, Kou Ji did not argue with Kou Zhun, nor did he show off his skills in front of Kou Zhun.

He knew that no matter how much he showed off, it was a thankless task.

Annoyed Kou Zhun, Kou Zhun could suppress him with one hand.

Because Kou Zhun not only has a high amount of money, but also has great power.

Seeing that Kou Ji was silent, Kou Zhun thought that Kou Ji had realized his mistake, and his heart of reprimand was a little lighter.

Kou Zhun said earnestly: "At your age, it's time to study. As long as you study hard and pass the Jinshi examination, at that time, you will have what you want.

The official family wrote a poem of persuasion, you should keep in mind...... Rich families don't need to buy fertile land, there are thousands of millets in the book; There is no need to raise a hall to live in peace, and there is a golden house in the book; Don't hate to go out with no one, there are many cars and horses in the book; Don't hate unscrupulous matchmakers when marrying a wife, there is Yan Ruyu in the book; If the boy is determined to live his life. The Six Classics read to the window. ”

In order to motivate Kou Ji, Kou Zhun moved out of Zhao Heng's persuasion poem against his will.

In fact, Kou Zhun didn't like this poem a little, and always felt that the utilitarian heart was too heavy.

Reading Mingzhi should give priority to serving the country.

Kou Zhun's thoughts, Kou Ji couldn't guess.

After Kou Ji heard this, he gave a salute obediently and said, "Thank you grandfather for your teaching......"

Kou Zhun opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't say it.

Instead, Kou Ji spoke again: "Grandfather, this persuasion poem of the official family seems to be somewhat contrary to what you taught your grandson before. ”

Kou Ji's words touched Kou Zhun's heart.

Kou Zhun sighed and said: "You can't be too utilitarian, but in this government and the opposition, there are too few people who don't have a utilitarian heart. The old man is afraid that he will educate you too upright, which will make it difficult for you to move forward in the court in the future. ”

Regarding the question of whether Kou Ji can be an official, Kou Zhun doesn't seem to be worried at all.

Kou Ji didn't care about this problem, but muttered, "Grandfather encountered a problem in the palace? ”

Kou Zhun shook his head, "Let's talk about it when we enter the mansion." ”

The grandfather and grandson entered the mansion with their long entourage.

After arriving at the main hall, he retreated left and right, leaving only Kou Zhong to serve.

After Kou Zhun sat down, he took a sip of tea, took out a jade box from his sleeve and placed it on the table.

Kou Ji's gaze was immediately attracted by the jade box.

Before he could take a closer look, he was shocked by Kou Zhun's words.

"The official family fainted during today's court meeting......

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, and then lost his voice: "This is a big event......

"Then I woke up again......"

Kou Zhun said faintly.

Kou Ji froze in place, complaining in his heart.

Grandfather, can you not speak loudly?

Kou Ji looked at Kou Zhun and muttered, "Listening to your tone, it seems that the official family shouldn't ......wake up."

"Nonsense!"

Kou Zhun instantly narrowed his eyes, "The old man has never had such a thought. ”

Kou Ji looked at Kou Zhun and was silent.

Kou Zhun glanced at him, sighed, and explained: "After the official family fainted, the queen accompanied the official family, and the old man and Ding Wei handled the government affairs.

After the official family woke up, the queen returned to the Shishitang to govern ......"

Kou Ji pondered: "You were suppressed by the queen and Ding Wei teamed up? ”

Kou Zhun glared at Kou Ji, and Kou Ji closed his mouth in amusement.

Kou Zhun said angrily: "The stepmother of Li Deming, the king of Western Xia, asked the imperial court for the holy decree of the posthumous seal. The old man meant to ignore it. Ding Wei advocated that he should posthumously seal Li Deming's stepmother, and even send someone to mourn.

If he wants to chase the seal, we have to give it?

Then where is the majesty of my Great Song Sect? ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he pursed his lips and said casually: "It is detrimental to the prestige of the country......"

Kou Zhun shouted angrily: "The old man can't argue with Ding Wei about this matter. After the queen arrived, she actually agreed with Ding Wei's proposition. Even despite the old man's opposition, he ordered the Tuntian member Wailang Shangguan to go to the post to mourn. ”

Hearing this, Kou Ji was stunned.

The imperial court posthumously mourned Li Deming's stepmother, and Kou Ji didn't care at all.

Anyway, this kind of thing that is detrimental to the national prestige, the imperial court has done a lot of it.

The reason why he was stunned was because he finally knew the problem of Kou Zhun struggling in the court.

Kou Zhun, the prime minister, was obviously set aside by Ding Wei and Liu E.

Although he has the right to speak in the court, he has no decision-making power.

A prime minister has no decision-making power, so what kind of prime minister is it?

A large imperial history with the name of the prime minister?

All the government can discuss it, but there is no way to participate in decision-making?
