Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong glanced at each other and looked at each other.

They didn't understand why the gentleman had a reputation that was destined to be reviled on him.

Isn't it a bit too noble to be purely for the sake of the family and the country.

is so noble that it doesn't fit his character at all.

Is it that the people of Bianjing City have a misunderstanding of Mr., or is Mr. pretending in front of them?

They are not as brainless as Zhao Run, and they have blind trust and obedience to Mr.

When they apprenticed, they were already well-known young talents, and they had their own thinking.

Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong closed their mouths and did not speak, as if they were thinking about what kind of person Kou Ji was.

Zhao Run teased Di Yong in his arms while muttering, how to open a gap from Kou Ji's body, and make himself a university scholar who has written countless famous books.

Kou Ji felt that his words today were enough for the three little ones to digest for a while, so he didn't say anything more.

I just assigned some homework to study the big food literature, and left the study.

He doesn't need to worry about other knowledge.

Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong studied in the Wenchang Academy, and there were many famous Confucian teachings in scriptures and books.

Zhao Run studied at the royal private school in the palace, and many ministers of the court and the central government would go to explain to him the sages' scriptures and articles.

Kou Ji only needs to teach them how to be human beings, and by the way, teach them some things that they can't learn anywhere else.

Wang Anshi, Zeng Gong, and Zhao Run stayed until the evening before leaving.

When leaving, Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong were bowing their heads and pondering something, and Zhao Run warmly invited Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong to go to Bianjing City to play together.

Anyway, Jin Wu in Bianjing City can't help it, they can play all night long.

It's just that Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong rejected Zhao Run's kindness.

They study in the Wenchang Academy, and they don't have much time to rest on weekdays.

As soon as he arrived at Xiumu, he immediately ran to the bamboo courtyard to ask for advice.

Running at both ends, there is not much leisure at all.

Although both of them are rare talents in the world, whether it is the Wenchang Academy, which is full of talents and Confucianism, or Kou Ji, who has a full body of knowledge that spans several eras, they can be suppressed.

They are now desperately hungry for knowledge.

I am eager to suppress the heroes of the Wenchang Academy and become the leader of the students of the Wenchang Academy.

I also want to learn more from Koji's mind that I can't learn anywhere else.

As Kou Ji said today, they couldn't learn anywhere else.

Not only do they have to confirm Koji's words, but they also have to think deeply about the deep meaning behind Koji's words.

I didn't have time to play with Zhao Run.

In Zhao Run's slightly lost expression, Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong left the bamboo courtyard together.

Zhao Run took the money and walked out of the street where the bamboo courtyard was located alone.

Koji saw everything in his eyes, but said nothing.

Whether it is Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong's studiousness, or Zhao Run's playfulness.

He didn't make any comments.

Different identities have different needs.

Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong are rare wise men among young people, who learn knowledge far faster than ordinary people, and their minds to explore the depth of knowledge are more stable than others.

Zhao Run is playful, and he is lonely.

He needs to use play to relieve his loneliness.

When Kou Ji first met Zhao Zhen, Zhao Zhen was also lonely.

It was he who slowly led Zhao Zhen out of loneliness.

Now it's Zhao Run's turn to be lonely.

The person who can lead Zhao Run out of loneliness has now gone to Korea.

Zhao Run should learn to adapt to this loneliness, and then continue to grow in loneliness.

Loneliness is cruel to a young man.

But he has a heavy responsibility, and loneliness is a process he must go through.

If you don't experience it now, you will experience it later.

Kou Ji is actually very envious of Zhao Run, because although Zhao Run is lonely, he has nothing to do.

He can't, he has a lot of things to do.

After a few days of leisure in the bamboo courtyard and educating the three disciples, Kou Ji fell into a new round of busyness.

It's time for the autumn harvest.

The first of the Liaodi soldiers to send the letter to their families also arrived at the place.

In order to see how the wealthy will react to this,

Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen ordered the official post to withhold the family letters of most of the Liaodi soldiers, and only let the family letters of Suzhou under the rule of Jiangning Mansion flow out.

When the book arrived in Suzhou, the content flowed out.

No way, the content is a little too scary.

The imperial court assigned the soldiers recruited to Liaodi in the previous year to the local area and turned into the people who cultivated.

When the crops were covered with green, the local yamen showed their mouths.

The family moved to Liaodi, divided into a big house, a cow, ten criminal households, and thousands of acres of fertile land.

The soldiers are all from poor backgrounds, looking at the green crops, who is not moved.

The stupidest of them also knew that once the family moved to Liaodi, not only would they become landlords, but they would also have ten more tenants.

The imperial court did not give them land at all.

The imperial court simply arranged everything and let them directly govern.

The pie in the sky could not tempt honest farmers in the past.

But the people who first migrated to Liao told them that this was the truth, not pie in the sky.

So, they relied on their relationship to confirm the matter with the local government, and then quickly wrote to the family and asked the family to move over.

After the family got the letter, they looked for the children who were studying in the family.

I can't believe the content of the moment.

Immediately went to the village elders in the countryside to verify the matter.

At first, the villagers didn't think much about it and told the truth.

They just thought it was the dolls who went out and ran into some chance.

Seeing those old and weak women and children happily selling their family property and dragging their families to Liaodi to enjoy happiness, the villagers were also very happy for them.

But with more and more letters.

The villagers sensed that something was wrong.

Several village elders sat together and discussed, feeling the sinister intentions of the imperial court.

The wealthy families in the city also felt it.

The wealthy family gathered the village elders and secretly discussed the matter.

A rumor spread.

The wealthy and the villagers preached together that the division of land in Liaodi was a big scam, and there was no pie in the sky, and there were some unknown secrets in it.

It is said that Zhang Zhibai found a huge ghost cave in Liaodi, which needs millions of people to fill.

The people of Liaodi deceived the people in the past, just to fill the ghost hole.

There are countless rumors like this.

When the people heard these rumors, they believed them and wailed for a while.

There are those who do not believe in evil and want to go to Liaodi to see.

was stopped by the villagers.

The tough one directly said that he was bewitched by the ghost and sank into the pond.

In just a few days, there were eight homicides in Shentang.

More importantly, the people do not raise it, and the officials do not hold it accountable.

No one went to the government to report the matter, and the matter seemed to be so closed.

If it weren't for the people of Wu Desi who kept staring, I'm afraid Zhao Zhen wouldn't know about it.

"Eight lives, say that the sinking pond will sink the pond, they are so majestic!"

Zhao Zhen slapped the table angrily.

The dragon case in the capital hall shook and thumped.

Wang Zeng also had a gloomy face, "Ignoring human life and ignoring national law is simply a crime that cannot be punished." ”

Zhao Zhen clenched his fists and said with an angry face: "I really want to send someone to punish them." ”

Wang Zeng gritted his teeth and said nothing.

This matter is widely implicated, if Zhao Zhen really kills on a killing spree, it will not be one or two people killed.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Zhen did not rush to kill.

Kou Ji didn't feel as much emotion as Zhao Zhen and Wang Zeng, and he groaned: "Their troubles not only hurt people's lives, but also scared those people who didn't dare to go to Liaodi.

We may have failed in our plans. ”

Zhao Zhen and Wang Zeng fell silent with gloomy faces.

Sending someone to clarify the matter is undoubtedly a foolish move.

If the people were sensible, they would not be deceived by such flawed fallacies.

As long as the fallacy pokes into the hearts of the people, even if the people have doubts about it, they will believe it for the time being.

There are countless examples of this that Koji has seen.

There are countless qigong masters, various masters, and experts in later generations.

As long as a person has the ability to judge himself, he knows that thing is fake.

But even so, there are still many people who have been deceived.

This is still the case for the descendants of the information explosion, let alone the ignorant and backward ancient times.

The imperial court sent people to explain the matter, but it was not clear at all.

Because the court really gave too much.

So many people who have been poor for generations can't believe it.

It gives those with ulterior motives a chance.

The court explained one rumor, and more rumors appeared.

In the eyes of the people, the yamen and the imperial court are a place to be feared.

The yamen and the imperial court are all Pixiu on weekdays, and they only enter and do not leave.

Now not only out, but also so much.

The people really didn't dare to believe it.

After Zhao Zhen was silent for a long time, he looked at Kou Ji and said, "Fourth brother thinks, what should I do?" ”

Kou Ji groaned and said, "You have to think again." ”

Wang Zeng said in a deep voice: "It's better for the old minister to go around Suzhou and see what kind of ghosts and ghosts are doing in the back." ”

Zhao Zhen shook his head and said: "No, if there is a problem in one place, you have to investigate, and then there is a problem in the entire Jiangnan and Hedong, do you have to check one by one?"

That's not exhausting people to death.

We have to think of a way to do it once and for all. ”

Kou Ji narrowed his eyes when he heard this.

Wang Zeng saw Kou Ji's eyes, and his heart jumped.

He felt the killing.

"The official family, it's better to release all the family letters."

Wang Zeng said quickly.

Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji both looked at Wang Zeng suspiciously.

A letter from a family in Suzhou has already made a fuss.

Do you want to scatter all the family letters and make trouble in Jiangnan and Hedong?

Wang Zeng said in a deep voice: "The matter has come to this, there is no need to hide and choke." Anyway, Suzhou is in trouble, and everyone in Jiangnan knows about it. The people of Hedong will soon find out as well.

Let's be open and honest with them.

We just want the people in their hands. ”

Zhao Zhen frowned and said, "Then if they make trouble, how to solve it?" ”

Wang Zeng gritted his teeth and said, "If they don't let the people go, we won't let them go." Didn't the officials always feel that Bianjing City was too small to meet the needs of the people of Bianjing?

Then it's better to take the opportunity to let out the rumors of expanding Bianjing City. ”

Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji understood Wang Zeng's mind almost instantly.

Kou Ji hesitated and said, "Do you want the official family to emulate the old things of Emperor Qin and Han Wu?" ”

Emperor Qin, Han and Wu have all done one thing, that is, strong cadres and weak branches.

Today's Bianjing City is indeed a little small, and more than two million people live in Bianjing City, which seems a little crowded.

(There have always been objections to whether Bianjing can accommodate two million people, thinking that it is impossible.) For example, during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Liang of the Southern Dynasty must have been in Jiankang, and there were 280,000 households in Jiankang at that time, almost more than one million people. Among them are not the royal family, servants, private soldiers, etc., because they are not naturalized as ordinary people. Calculated carefully, the population is more than 2 million. The time in which the Southern Dynasty Liang lived was in the fifth century AD, that is to say, in the fifth century AD, there were already cities with a population of more than one million in China, and there was no reason why it could not be in the tenth century.

The denser the population, the greater the test of launching.

But the ancient sewer system is far more powerful than we think.

The mud people in Bianjing City live in the sewers of Bianjing City, which extends in all directions, creating favorable criminal conditions for the mud people.

It can be seen how huge the sewer system of Bianjing City is.

Jiankang is also Jinling, and there are still many relics today, so you can go and see if you are interested. ）

So it's nothing to expand on it.

But expanding the city is not the main thing.

The main thing is that once the city is expanded, if the population of Bianjing City is not enough, it needs to be filled with a certain amount of population.

Emperor Qin could recruit nobles from the Six Kingdoms into Xianyang.

The Han military moved all the heroes and powers in all parts of the world into Chang'an.

Zhao Zhen can also move the wealthy families from Jiangnan and Hedong to Bianjing.

Since the people won't let them move, it's better to move them.

Wang Zeng heard Kou Ji's inquiry and nodded stubbornly.

If it weren't for the murderous intent in Kou Ji's eyes, Wang Zeng really didn't want to make such an angry suggestion.

Wang Zeng knew very well in his heart that if he didn't want to make the wealthy families in Jiangnan and Hedong succumb.

King Koyama must have sent them to the underground and called slowly.

It is impossible to expect King Koyama to fight with those wealthy families.

The king had never seen the opponent of the king alive until now.

King Koyama made a move, and that time it wasn't a floating corpse.

Zhao Zhen pretended not to know Wang Zeng's thoughts, he heard Wang Zeng's suggestion, and smiled heartily, "What a trick to draw salary......

Kou Ji groaned: "The way is a good way, but it's not so easy to do." ”

Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment and looked at Kou Ji.

The same is true of Wang Zeng.

Kou Ji said frankly: "The Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty all ruled the country with martial arts, and the whole country attached great importance to bravery. As soon as their imperial decree comes out, if they go with it, they will prosper, and if they go against it, they will die, and there is no reason to talk about it.

My Great Song Dynasty is different, my Great Song Dynasty used to emphasize literature and suppress martial arts, and to use literature to control martial arts, and I have lost my domineering.

In case of trouble, it is either a discussion or a discussion.

It is impossible to act happily.

Although the official family has helped me in recent years, Da Song has picked up the domineering.

But the time is too short, and the people don't know enough about it.

During the Qin Emperor and Han Wu period, they wanted to relocate the people, who dared to say more?

Even if the foundations of the local community are shaken, the local government will do so.

However, we have only relocated a very small number of people, and we have not shaken the foundation of the local area at all, and there has already been a disturbance in the local area.

Thus.

As long as the news of the expansion of Bianjing City and the news of the relocation of wealthy families into Bianjing City spread.

Many people in the government and the opposition will jump out to stop this. ”

There was nothing wrong with the Great Song Dynasty's reuse of literati.

But he relied too much on the literati, too much power to the literati, and too much indulgence on the literati.

As a result, the literati became the shackles of the warriors and the shackles of the Great Song Dynasty.

The wealthy families of the Great Song Dynasty are compared to the nobles and families of the Qin and Han dynasties?

People not only have money, food, education, ability, influence, and force.

The wealthy families of the Great Song Dynasty had money, food, and education.

Although there are some abilities, they are far worse than those family gate valves.

But why did the Qin and Han dynasties say that the Qin Emperor and Han Wu said to be accommodating?

Da Song can't help it?

Because Emperor Qin and Han Wu would not reason with nobles and families.

Do whatever you want.

Disobedience is only one death.

And Da Song likes to be reasonable.

Because of the high status of the literati of the Great Song Dynasty, they liked to be reasonable the most.

And they are precisely the spokespersons behind the wealthy families.

Those who are reasonable, they can say more reasonably.

If they ignore it, they can also say some truth.

On the contrary, the emperor still has to listen to their reasoning.

If you don't listen, you're faint.

The smile that had just appeared on Zhao Zhen's face was instantly suppressed by Kou Ji's words.

Wang Zeng's face became even more ugly.

Koji closed his mouth again and became mute.

He's a guy who doesn't like to reason with people.

In the past, he used all kinds of means and explained all kinds of truths, but the reason for this was that the strength in his hands was not enough, and he needed to use all kinds of means and all kinds of reasoning to achieve his own goals.

Not needed now, he has enough power in his hands.

There are some things that he told Zhao Zhen a long time ago.

It depends on how Zhao Zhen chooses.

Now is no longer the time for him to teach Zhao Zhen to do things.

Zhao Zhen should learn to do things on his own and think for himself.

Zhao Zhen pondered Kou Ji's words for a long time, and said faintly: "I remember that the fourth brother once said that if you don't break it, you won't stand ......."

When Wang heard the words 'do not break, do not stand', his heart trembled.

He stared at Zhao Zhen with a frightened expression.

"Official, unless you have to, you must not use thunder means!"

Zhao Zhen's eyes fell on Wang Zeng, and he said in a low voice: "I don't want to use thunder means, but for the sake of the long-term stability of my Great Song Dynasty, I have to use it." ”

Wang Zeng gritted his teeth and prepared to continue persuasion.

Kou Ji coughed softly, "Prime Minister Wang, Tang Taizong has only one Wei Zheng, so he has become the first emperor of the ages." If the Manchu Dynasty was all Wei Zheng, he would not be able to become an emperor through the ages.

My Great Song Dynasty is now the Wei Zheng of the Manchu Dynasty.

Although the vast majority of people do not have Wei Zheng's character, they are also mixed with too much selfishness.

But they are similar to Wei Zheng to the official family.

The government governs the country, and it is necessary to stretch out its hands and feet.

Now the officials stretch out their hands, you chop your hands, stretch out your feet, you chop your feet.

How do you still let the officials govern the country?

It's better to teach you the Jiangshan Sheji. ”

Wang Zeng glared angrily, staring at Kou Ji in disbelief.

Kou Ji's words are heart-wrenching words.

If it was under the rule of a domineering emperor, Kou Ji said this, the emperor approved it, and Wang Zeng probably knelt on the ground and begged for resignation.

Otherwise, the head will move.

It's a pity that Zhao Zhen is not a domineering emperor, there is always a softness in his heart.

Emperor Qin, Han Wu and others, in order to achieve certain goals, Zhongliang will also be punished.

But Zhao Zhen won't.

Zhao Zhen didn't seem to hear Kou Ji's words, and slowly spoke: "I have to ask the fourth brother to borrow someone ......."

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Only Liu Heng is available in the minister's mansion now. ”

Zhao Zhen shook his head and said, "I'm talking about your students. ”

Kou Ji looked at Zhao Zhen curiously.

Zhao Zhen said indifferently: "Bao Zheng, the superintendent of Bohai Mansion." ”

Kou Ji said with some surprise: "The official family actually noticed Bao Zheng?" ”

Zhao Zhen glanced at Kou Ji, and said with some complaints: "I am not a faint king, it seems that Bao Zheng is about to enter the high-grade courtier, how can I not pay attention." ”

Kou Ji nodded and said, "Since the official family said that Bao Zheng is a courtier, it means that Bao Zheng is a member of the official family." If the official family wants to use it, there is no need to discuss it with the ministers at all. ”

Zhao Zhen said slowly: "Bao Zheng is doing a good job in Bohai Mansion, I heard that he has a hand in investigating cases, and I am going to let him go to Suzhou to investigate eight homicides."

By the way, help me measure the land in Jiangning Mansion and see if there is any clever snatching.

If so, according to the sin.

I will also send Wang Deyong to Jiangning Mansion, and let him lead the Zhennan Army and the Jiangning Mansion soldiers to go around the waters of Jiangning Mansion to see if there is any injustice.

Or someone who intends to rebel.

And your student Han Qi, who is a person who dares to think and do, I am going to let him go to Hedong and do the same errand as Bao Zheng.

By the way, let Chen Yaozhi go to Hedong. ”

One article and one martial arts, one rigid and one soft.

A slap, a sweet date.

Whether to choose sweet dates or slaps depends on the local wealthy.

Zhao Zhen felt with iron heart that if the text didn't work, he would use force.

A two-pronged approach.

After Zhao Zhen finished his thoughts, he said to Kou Ji and Wang Zeng: "Fourth brother, Wang Aiqing, I don't want to hear any different voices in this matter.

Up and down the government and the opposition, if someone runs for those wealthy families, let them go to the border to make contributions.

Anyway, my Great Song Dynasty is big enough now, and the border that needs to be governed is also very large, and it needs a lot of capable officials.

I believe that after they reach the border, they will definitely make great achievements. ”

Zhao Zhen didn't care at all whether those who only cared about running for the benefit would harm the people for the sake of profit after they went to the border.

Nowadays, all the frontiers of the Great Song Dynasty are mixed between military and civilian.

Those officials who run for profit will act recklessly on the border and harm the people for the sake of profit.

But first ask the local soldiers if they will agree.

After Kou Ji and Wang Zeng listened to Zhao Zhen's instructions, they left the Shishitang.

As soon as he entered the palace, Wang Zeng blew his beard and glared at Kou Ji.

"You traitor!"

Kou Ji looked at Wang Zeng and asked, "Why did I commit a traitor?" ”

Wang Zeng glared at Kou Ji viciously and shouted: "You instigated the officials to act recklessly, and you dare to say that you are not a traitor. ”

Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said, "It's better for my official family to act recklessly than for you to let the official family do nothing, right?" You are learning Confucius and Mencius, not Lao Zhuang, why do you want to let the official family rule by doing nothing? ”

Wang Zeng roared angrily: "Nonsense! ”

"Nonsense?"

Kou Ji smiled indifferently and said: "From Taizong's later years to the present, in the court, it is you who do things in the instructor's house, not what the official family wants to do.

If you think the official family can do anything, you will allow the official family to do it.

If you think that the official family can't do anything, you will collectively write a letter to oppose it, and it is very impossible to sew the official family into the mouth with a needle.

On the surface, the court is dominated by officials, but secretly it is you who are in charge. ”
