Han Yang, the waiter of the Criminal Department, poked out the largest basket.

In order to complete the errand of recruiting troops as soon as possible, Han Yang, the squire of the Criminal Department, chose to go into battle in person, and he went to Jiangning Mansion, the richest place in Jiangnan.

After arriving in Jiangning Mansion, he relied on his identity and forcibly allocated the amount of conscription to the officials of Jiangning Mansion.

The officials of Jiangning Mansion couldn't complete the huge amount of money that Han Yang, the servant of the Criminal Department, had explained, so they secretly released the news.

After learning about this, the wealthy families of Jiangning Mansion decisively boycotted the market, and also encouraged tenants and short-term workers from all households to go to block in front of some open shops.

For a while, Jiangning Mansion was in chaos.

Seeing this, Han Yang was very angry, and he was ready to invite the military department and dispatch local soldiers to force Jiangning Mansion to open the market.

But before his recital was sent to the imperial court, he was involved in a life lawsuit.

In an instant, Han Yang became a street rat that everyone shouted and beat in Jiangning Mansion.

What's more critical is that the wealthy families of Jiangning Mansion used the power behind them to bring the matter to the court.

The impeachment of Han Yang drifted into Bianjing like snowflakes.

Lu Yijian looked at the mountain of music and had a headache.

Inside the government hall.

Lu Yijian sat on the first place, with a gloomy face, and shouted in a low voice, "Han Yang is a fool, he went to recruit soldiers, not to find trouble."

Just get people to it, what are you doing to cause so much trouble.

Now there are as many as 100 officials impeaching him, and I can't even suppress it. ”

Lu Yijian is not a minister, and he does not have the strength to lean towards the government and the opposition, so there is not much he can suppress.

It seems that the prefects of various prefectures and the generals of various prefectures and towns have no way to suppress it.

As for the inspectors of the provinces, they will not hand over the music to the government hall at all.

They will all pass through special channels and hand the music directly to Zhao Zhen's desk.

In the locality, the inspector is not in charge of civil affairs or soldiers.

Why are they on an equal footing with the prefects and generals of the prefectures?

It is because they have the right to report directly to the officials.

After Wang Zeng heard Lu Yijian's angry voice, he put down the music he was reading in his hand and said, "Although Han Yang is a little frizzy in doing things, as a servant of the Criminal Department, he must know the laws of my Great Song Dynasty.

Especially the law that deals with homicide.

So he must not hurt people's lives and involve himself in lawsuits.

Therefore, the murder case involving Han Yang should have been framed. ”

Lu Yijian glared and shouted, "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he was framed." But now that the human and material evidence is there, he was blocked by the family of the deceased in the prefect's yamen, and there was no way to get out.

He didn't even have a chance to find out. ”

Wang Zeng muttered: "There are no people under him who can investigate cases? ”

When Lu Yijian heard this, his face became even more ugly.

"How could he not have someone under him who could investigate the case? He sent me a secret letter, in which he mentioned that he sent three master case-solvers to solve the case, but all of them were missing. ”

Wang Zeng slowly frowned, "The people under Han Yang's hands are all officials of the imperial court. If the people of Jiangning Mansion hurt the lives of the imperial officials, it would be excessive. ”

Lu Yijian glared, "People are just going too far, what can we do?" Now that the market has been boycotted, Han Yang has been put on a life lawsuit, resulting in Han Yang unable to move.

The officials of Jiangning Mansion all wrote a book and listed twelve charges for Han Yang. ”

Wang Zeng sighed and said, "Han Yang, this is a defeat." Even if he can clear his own murder, it is not good to continue to stay in Jiangning Mansion. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Zeng looked at Lu Yijian and said in a deep voice: "The wealthy families of Jiangning Mansion are all boycotting the market, in just a few days, it should be nothing, but after a long time, it will inevitably cause public resentment."

The people's grievances are their weapons to force Han Yang back. ”

What Wang Zeng said, Lu Yijian naturally knew.

He has already given up on Han Yang and is ready to summon Han Yang back to Beijing.

What he was thinking about now was who to clean up the mess that Han Yang had made, so that nothing would happen.

Wang Zeng seemed to see Lu Yijian's thoughts, and said in a deep voice: "Let Lu Gong go." ”

Lu Yijian suddenly looked at Wang Zeng, "San Lang? Can he do it? ”

Wang Zeng laughed and said: "You used to praise Lu Gong when you met people, saying that he was the unicorn of your Lu Mansion. Why didn't you trust him when it was time to use him? ”

Lu Yijian hesitated for a moment, but was speechless.

In the past, he was naturally very satisfied with his son.

But since Lu Gongshu went to Liaoyang Mansion and was criticized by Kou Ji for being worthless.

He was not so happy with his son.

Wang Zeng seemed to be a roundworm in Lu Yijian's stomach, and once again saw Lu Yijian's thoughts, he smiled and said: "Kou Ji just said that Lu Gongzhu has no people in his heart, but he didn't say that Lu Gongzhu can't do things. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Zeng sighed: "But there are few people who are from wealthy families, and there are few people in their hearts. You don't have to worry too much about it.

Lu Gongzhu is a smart child, you can teach him with your heart when you go back, and let him put the people in his heart. ”

After listening to Wang Zeng's words, Lu Yijian thought about it carefully, and finally sighed and said, "Then let San Lang go......

Lu Yijian made a decision, and immediately asked people to go back to the house to pass on Lu Gong's writings.

After the messenger left, Lu Yijian stared at Wang Zeng with some doubts, "It stands to reason that you are the closest to Kou Ji, and you should help Kou Ji."

Why do you want to give me advice? ”

When the king heard this, he said in a nonchalistic manner: "The public is the public, and the private is the private...... Recruiting soldiers is an official matter ordered by the officials, and as a political counselor, I naturally have to share the worries of the officials. ”

Lu Yijian pursed his lips and did not believe Wang Zeng's nonsense.

Wang Zeng knew that Lu Yijian didn't believe it, but he didn't explain too much.

The reason why he helped Lu Yijian was also to avoid Kou Ji's premature ascension.

Kou Ji's style of doing things is completely different from Lu Yijian.

As for the matter of Jiangning Mansion this time.

After Han Yang got into trouble, Lu Yijian's first thought was to replace people.

If it was Kou Ji, he wouldn't have changed people at all.

He would only hand a fluttering piece of paper to the military department.

Then the soldiers and horses around Jiangning Mansion will be surrounded by water in Jiangning Mansion overnight.

Kou Jicai will not reason with those wealthy families in Jiangning Mansion, nor will he accept the difficulties of the wealthy families in Jiangning Mansion.

If you are obedient, you will obediently follow the instructions of the court.

If you don't obey, then wait to be beaten.

Just when Lu Yijian was worried about this matter.

In the bamboo courtyard.

Kou Ji was standing in the study, writing, and Zhao Run carefully stood next to him to help sharpen the ink, and while grinding the ink, he reported to Kou Ji in a low voice.

"Sir, my father said that Lu Yijian sent Han Yang to Jiangning Mansion to recruit troops, and after Han Yang arrived in Jiangning Mansion, not only did he not recruit soldiers, but he also caused a big mess.

Now all the wealthy families in Jiangning Mansion are going out of business, and Han Yang is also involved in a life lawsuit. ”

Kou Ji paused for a moment in his hand, raised his head, looked at Zhao Run, and asked in amazement: "Han Yang won't go to Jiangning Mansion and directly order the matter of recruiting troops, right?" ”

Zhao Run nodded solemnly and said, "Mr. is really powerful, you can guess it." ”

Kou Ji pursed his lips, "It's really a fool, and he does things so roughly." You remember, when you employ people in the future, don't use this kind of person to preside over civil affairs, it's very good to stuff him into the criminal department and the ministry of work.

What the Criminal Department and the Ministry of Industry need most is this kind of naïve and resolute who dares to think and do. ”

"The student wrote down ......"

Hearing that Kou Ji was teaching himself how to use people, Zhao Run immediately focused his attention.

It's just that when he wanted to listen to Kou Ji continue to teach the way of employing people, he found that Kou Ji set his eyes on the paper again, and his heart instantly lost a lot.

Kou Ji looked at the flat paper on the table, there was a big ink spot, and sighed, "The writing is ruined...... It should work, right? ”

When Zhao Run heard this, he immediately adjusted his mood and said with a smile: "Of course you can use it, you imitate Kou Gong's handwriting, and there is almost no difference."

I quietly took it out and sold it, and no one found out that it was a fake.

Those people want the authentic handiwork of Kou Gong, whether it is a broken product or not, they don't care. ”

Kou Ji nodded, put down the pen, and advised: "Sell it quietly, don't let outsiders know." If outsiders find out, then my face will be embarrassed.

If I'm disgraced, you kid will wait to be beaten. ”

Zhao Run said with a bright smile: "Sir, don't worry." Absolutely no one will find out. ”

Kou Ji sighed with emotion: "My dignified little Kou Gong actually makes a living by selling fake words, it really shouldn't be." ”

The smile on Zhao Run's face froze, and he muttered vigorously in his heart.

Sir! That's not what you said when you were a friend.

Kou Ji saw that Zhao Run's expression was wrong, and raised his eyebrows and asked, "What kind of expression do you have?" ”

Zhao Rungan laughed and said, "Sir, while the heat has not passed, you can write a few more, and we can take them out and sell them for money." When the heat passes, I'm afraid I won't be able to sell at a high price. ”

Kou Ji glanced at Zhao Run, changed a piece of paper, and picked up the pen to write again.

Money, Kou Ji doesn't care anymore.

But when money came to the door, Kou Ji had no reason not to accept it.

Since Kou Zhun left the Wenchang Academy and left Bianjing, Kou Zhun's character has skyrocketed in value.

Folk fakes emerge in an endless stream.

Some imitation characters were actually sold for an extremely high price.

Fake ones can be sold at a high price.

That's really a higher price.

But Kou Zhun has already left Beijing, and most of his paintings and calligraphy have either been treasured by the palace or by the Wenchang Academy, and the rest have been taken away by him.

The treasures of the palace and the Wenchang Academy are naturally impossible to take out and sell.

So Kou Zhun's genuine handiwork became a wonder in an instant.

After Zhao Run learned about this, he decisively found Kou Ji and asked Kou Ji for Kou Zhun's true work.

Kou Ji does have Kou Zhun's authentic works, but they are all his treasures, and it is impossible to take them out and sell them.

So I wrote a picture to Zhao Run.

Although Zhao Run is young, his skills in identifying calligraphy and painting are still very good.

After all, the old Zhao family has been paying close attention to the education of the royal family since Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi.

Therefore, the humanities attainments of the old Zhao family are not low.

As the eldest prince, Zhao Run is expected by many people, and his literary attainments are naturally not low.

After Zhao Run identified Kou Ji's handwritten words, he felt that Kou Ji's words were enough to confuse the truth, so he boldly took them out and sold them.

Then it was sold for a full 20,000 yuan.

He took three thousand as a commission himself, and gave the rest to Kou Ji.

After Kou Ji saw the money, he never refused Zhao Run's request for words.

Idle is idle anyway.

It is better to be deceived by him than to let those wronged leaders be deceived by others.

He has a better conscience than any other liar.

Although he didn't give those wronged words, he gave him his own words.

Although his little Kou Gong's words are not as valuable as Kou Gong's.

But he is also a celebrity in size, and words are still worth a few dollars.

It's worth the huge amount of money given by those wronged bosses.

Kou Ji was writing with his head down, but Zhao Run was thinking about things on the side.

Zhao Run thought for a long time, and said in a low voice: "Sir, the student has a question in his heart, I wonder if Mr. can solve the student's doubts?" ”

Kou Ji said a word without raising his head, "Say ......"

Zhao Run hurriedly said: "If Mr. is faced with the current predicament of Jiangning Mansion, how will he solve it?" ”

While writing, Kou Ji said indifferently: "Simple...... Since those wealthy families in Jiangning Mansion are unwilling to make money, let them completely stop making money.

They like to strike the market, so the court simply seals the market.

Then the court sent people over, took over the market, and made money that they were unwilling to make. ”

Zhao Run was stunned for a moment, and said in amazement: "Can it still be like this?" But if you do this, there will definitely be pedantic people in the court who say something that does not compete with the people. ”

Kou Ji said disdainfully: "It's because the imperial court doesn't compete with the people for profit that it cheapens those wealthy families." ”

Zhao Run groaned: "But if the court competes with the people for profit, where does the people's profit come from?" ”

Kou Ji raised his head in some surprise, stared at Zhao Run, and said, "You can actually think of this?" ”

Zhao Run said with a smile and a smile: "It's not that students don't understand anything......

Kou Ji put down his pen and said with a smile: "Since you asked here, then I will explain it to you." In the eyes of the officials, the court does not compete with the people for profit, and refers to all the people in the world.

But in the eyes of the hundred officials, the court does not compete with the people for profit, referring to those wealthy families.

Because most of the people who do business in the world are wealthy families.

Small households, even if they do business, they can't do big business.

At most, they set up a stall, or they can carry a burden and sell around.

Even if the imperial court competes with them for profit, it can't compete for a few dollars.

The real profitable business is held in the hands of the wealthy.

In the court, ninety percent of the officials' families are wealthy families.

Less than 10 percent of officials from poor families are from poor families.

Therefore, there is a big difference between the officials and the officials who do not compete with the people for profit.

The reason why the officials insist on not competing with the people for profit is to safeguard the interests of the wealthy families behind them. ”

Zhao Run stared at Kou Ji stunned and said: "That is to say, the so-called not competing with the people for profit, it is the officials who come out to protect their own interests." ”

Kou Ji smiled and said, "Otherwise? Why do officials who are eager to lie on the people on weekdays and knock on the bones and marrow of the people, so why do they do their best to defend the people in this matter?

If they really have the people in their hearts, why do they still lie on the people and knock on the bones and suck the marrow? ”

Zhao Run was a little confused, because he had never considered the matter of the hundred officials working hard to protect the interests of the people from this perspective.

"I'm an official of the Great Song Dynasty...... Is it that unbearable? ”

Zhao Run asked confusedly.

Kou Ji smiled and said, "It's much better now." After the official family ascended the throne, they killed a lot of people and sent people to keep an eye on them, so there were fewer corrupt officials and corrupt officials. ”

Zhao Run looked at Kou Ji and said, "So...... When my imperial grandfather was in power, there were many corrupt officials? ”

Kou Ji laughed, "You said that, I didn't say it." ”

Zhao Run smiled bitterly.

Kou Ji smiled and continued: "So the nonsense of not competing with the people for profit doesn't work with me. Some pedantic people want to make trouble with this, so let him make trouble. ”

Zhao Run smiled bitterly and said, "It's not good to make trouble...... I heard my father say that similar things are going on and on, and every time they go on and on. ”

Kou Ji said with a smile: "So the imperial court can secretly dominate this matter, but don't do it in the name of the imperial court with great fanfare."

When each family left the Great Song Dynasty, they left behind many experts in the business field.

Let them come forward, just right. ”

Zhao Run naturally knew which families Kou Ji was talking about.

Zhao Run groaned: "What if the local people don't let them do business." ”

Kou Ji hesitated for a moment and said, "There are two ways to solve ......"

"What about the two ways?"

Zhao Run asked.

Kou Ji said frankly: "Let the people who go to Jiangning Mansion to recruit troops withdraw from Jiangning Mansion, and then find someone to report that there are big profiteers in Jiangning Mansion." Then the imperial court sent people to investigate, every day.

If they are happy, let them continue to do business, and if they are not happy, they will close the door and check the accounts.

They can encourage the people to resist recruitment, but they can't encourage the people to resist the court's investigation of profiteers. ”

The Great Song Dynasty was a very bad era, but it was also a very beautiful era.

The Song people did business, which was different from later generations.

Song people do business with integrity.

When the signboard is erected, it has to fight for word of mouth.

If you do bad things behind your back, if no one catches them, there will be nothing.

But once he was caught, he was exposed.

That will be abandoned by all the guests immediately.

The people of the people do not have much culture, so they can only protect themselves from being deceived by admitting death.

When everyone says hello and the government says hello, the people believe in you.

Everyone says you have a problem, and the government says you have a problem, and the people don't believe you.

Therefore, if the court investigates profiteers, the people will definitely not follow and make trouble.

On the contrary, they will applaud the actions of the imperial court.

As long as the imperial court investigates profiteers, as long as they ignore the private necessities such as grain stores and cloth shops, it will hardly have any impact on the people.

But those wealthy families will be tossed to death.

So this move is definitely one of the best ways to force those wealthy families to give in.

After Zhao Run heard Kou Ji's words, his eyes were shining, and he asked, "What else?" ”

Kou Ji said with a smile: "Find a group of people, pretend to be bandits, and make a circle in Jiangning Mansion." Then the soldiers and horses were sent over and Jiangning Mansion was blocked.

Once Jiangning Mansion is blocked, some of it is the final say of the imperial court. ”

Zhao Run was stunned for a moment, and said with some disappointment: "I thought it was a better way than the first method, but I didn't expect it to be a mobilization." It is not a good way to use troops, and it will hurt many innocent people. ”

Koji confessed, "Movable troops are the quickest way. It is also a way to get rid of future troubles from the root. There is no government affairs that cannot be solved by soldiers and horses, and if there is, it means that you do not have enough soldiers and horses. ”

Zhao Run looked at Kou Ji in amazement.

Obviously, Koji's remarks had a big impact on him.

Kou Ji looked at Zhao Run's small face and continued, "I personally prefer to use the second method...... Because I really don't have time to fight with those rich people. ”

Zhao Run frowned and asked, "Isn't there a way to not use troops and not waste time?" ”

Kou Ji smiled and said, "No...... If you don't use troops, it will only take time. But we don't have to waste our own time. We just need to pick the right people and leave things to them.

It's their time, not ours.

We have a large number of people at our disposal, so we don't have to do everything ourselves.

It's like your father, he only needs to choose three prime ministers, three privy councillors, six scholars, and leave everything to these twelve people to do. ”

Zhao Runsi pondered and nodded.

Kou Ji didn't want to discuss this issue with Zhao Run anymore, so he took the paper on the desk, threw it to Zhao Run, and said with a smile: "Okay, these issues are not what you should consider now, go and make money obediently." ”

Zhao Run saw that Kou Ji was unwilling to talk to him deeply, so he got the word, nodded, and left the study.

Kou Ji shook his head with a smile after Zhao Run left, "I don't know who Lu Yijian will send to clean up the mess for Han Yang." It's better to send someone a little stronger.

Otherwise, I am afraid that the affairs of Jiangning Mansion will become more and more troublesome.

Lu Yijian, you are also a famous figure in history, you have to give some strength.

If you do more, I'll have a lot of peace of mind. ”

Lu Yijian is now Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen's pawn and vanguard.

The faster he charged, the harder he hit.

Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen are more worry-free.

Lu Yijian also knew that he had become a pawn and a pioneer.

When he decided to take over the recruitment errand from Zhao Zhen, he knew that he had been reduced to a pawn and a vanguard.

Although Lu Yijian didn't know what Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji were going to do.

But the recruitment must be related to what Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen have to do.

Lu Yijian is now doing things in front of Kou Ji, isn't he a pawn?

Lu Yijian was actually willing to be a pawn.

Because he was greedy for power, he was unwilling to give up his position as a subordinate of Tongzhongshu and was unwilling to give way to Kou Ji.

So he had to act as a pawn and do what Kou Ji was going to do.

Lu Yijian didn't think it was a stupid thing to be a pawn.

He's a pawn, if he can get through all the way.

Then he will no longer be a pawn.

It is the great contributor to the first contribution.

As long as he can clear the level, Kou Ji will not want to snatch the position of Pingzhangshi under the Tongzhong Book Sect from his subordinates.

In order to be able to clear the customs.

When Lu Gongzhu left Beijing to replace Han Yang, Lu Yijian specially called Lu Gongzhu to his room and told him for one night.

After digesting the experience of handling things taught by Lu Yijian, Lu Gongzhu rushed to Jiangning Mansion with some domestic servants.

When Lu Gongzhu left Beijing, Zhao Run specially ran to Kou's mansion and told Kou Ji about it.

Kou Ji didn't have time to pay attention to it.
