I have to admit that Cai Qi is a very flexible person.

He didn't pedanticly think that coming out of Jiaozhi Mansion would be like the name of his children and grandchildren.

On the contrary, in order to make decisive use of the resources around him.

Kou Ji smiled and said, "You have to be glad that you have no guilt under Jiaozhi." On the contrary, they are all the people of my Great Song Dynasty. Therefore, it is far easier to govern than the place where Li Gong and them govern. ”

If there is no guilt, it means that there are no captives from other dynasties.

It is naturally easy for the people of the Great Song Dynasty to be controlled by the laws of the Great Song Dynasty.

When Cai Qi issued the decree, he didn't need to explain much at all.

What needs to be done and what should be done, all you need to do is to post the official document and send someone to read it to the people, and the people will understand.

He doesn't have to worry about the people being overwhelmed and rebelling, and he doesn't have to worry about the people making any mess because of their different identities.

He only needs to establish the rules of the Great Song Dynasty in Jiaozhi.

As long as the education of Jiaozhi keeps up, Jiaozhi will soon become an inseparable territory in the hearts of all people in the Great Song Dynasty.

It's like the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

It has been in the hands of the Liao people for decades, and everyone in the Great Song Dynasty has been thinking about it.

But Hexi and other places have been in the hands of the Western Regions for a longer time, but there are few people in the Great Song Dynasty.

The difference is in the culture.

The sixteen states of Yanyun have fallen into the hands of the Liao people for decades, and the Liao people not only did not change the culture of the sixteen states of Yanyun, but were influenced by the sixteen states of Yanyun and gradually sinicized.

Hexi fell into the hands of the people of the Western Regions, and was instantly filled with the culture of the Western Regions.

For example, the Sha and Gan forces that occupied Hexi before.

Cao Wei was violently beaten when Li Lizun invaded the Great Song Dynasty, and it was easy for the Great Song Dynasty to recover them.

But Da Song didn't bother with them.

Instead, he put all his energy on the sixteen states of Yanyun.

In addition to the regional differences between the rich and the poor, there are more cultural issues.

Cai Qi heard Kou Ji's words and laughed, "So it's very likely that I'm one step ahead of Li Di and completely integrate Jiaozhi into my Da Song?" ”

Kou Ji pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "It's not easy to say. Because Li Gong has been in Hexi for many years and has done a lot of hard work. I heard that two gifted children were discovered, and at the age of only thirteen or fourteen, they were able to memorize the scriptures backwards.

Previously, I had written to my grandfather asking for two places in the Wenchang Academy.

Next year, he may appear in the Wenchang School to study.

It is believed that it will not be long before they will be able to participate in the imperial examination.

They are natives of Hexi.

You let your children and grandchildren participate in the imperial examination, but it is a bit tricky.

So it's better than Li Gong, it's difficult.

But it is very likely to beat Wang Gong, Zhang Gong, and Lu Yijian. ”

When Cai Qi heard this, he sighed with emotion: "Listening to your words, Li Di has really found a good seedling. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to ask your grandfather for a place in the Wenchang Academy.

It seems that I want to compare with Li Di, I'm afraid it's impossible.

But it's not bad than Wang Sui, Zhang Zhibai, and Lu Yijian.

Although I have not been in charge as long as them, I consider myself to be worthy of any of them. ”

After Cai Qi said this, he slowly got up and arched his hand: "Kou Xiang, the mountains are high and the waters are long, and there will be a period in the future." When I enter Beijing on the other day, I hope you will irradiate one or two.

I have benefited a lot from the books you have given.

I don't have anything to thank.

The students who come out of his sect will stop thanking you.

When I was leaving, I caused you a big trouble, I hope you don't mind. ”

What the trouble Cai Qi said, Kou Ji knows.

Cai Qi recommended Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong to Kou Jimen, which caused waves in the literary world of Bianjing City, not only Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong had a group of challengers, but also a group of people who came to the Bamboo Academy to ask for apprenticeship.

For Koji, it was indeed a nuisance.

Kou Ji got up and said with a smile: "Since I dare to accept disciples, I am not afraid of trouble." So Cai Gong doesn't have to worry about it. ”

Cai Qi nodded heavily.

"Farewell ......"

Kou Ji stopped Cai Qi and took out a box from behind him and handed it to Cai Qi.

Cai Qi said suspiciously: "What is this?" ”

Kou Ji sighed: "If you go, I'm afraid you will leave the rest of your life in Jiaozhi." Open it up when you're homesick in the future. ”

Cai Qi was stunned, speechless, and accepted Kou Ji's gift.

Kou Ji watched Cai Qi get into the carriage and walked away before slowly returning to Beijing.

Kou Ji was not the only one who sent Cai Qi.

In the pavilion ten miles away, Wang Zeng prepared a table of wine and food and put a guqin.

After he accompanied Cai Qi to sing indulgently, he sent Cai Qi to Jiaozhi.

Zhao Zhen is fifteen miles away.

Because of his identity, he couldn't be as unrestrained as Wang Zeng, so he could only chat with Cai Qi, say some heartfelt words, and entrust him with important tasks.

After sending Cai Qi out of the boundary under the jurisdiction of Bianjing City.

Zhao Zhen returned to the palace.

Kou Ji and Wang Zeng had already arrived at the palace first.

The matter of Da Song's purchase of Jiaozhi did not settle because Cai Qi left.

On the contrary, after Cai Qi left.

The hearts of the three men were lifted at the same time.

Because, many things are prone to change in the end.

Before the king of Jiaozhi County completely withdrew from Jiaozhi, and before Cai Qi completely controlled the power of Jiaozhi, everything was variable.

So, the hearts of all three people hung in the air.

After Zhao Zhen returned to the palace, the three of them arrived at the Shishitang.

After discussing the matter of dispatching the Yongning army into Jiaozhi and guarding the border.

They also discussed the establishment of local soldiers in Jiaozhi to stabilize the rule of Jiaozhi.

In a newly acquired place, it is always necessary to equip all soldiers and horses before it can rule firmly.

The three of them had discussed this matter before.

It's just that Cai Qi didn't make a deal with the king of Jiaozhi, so it was not good for the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty to take the lead in stepping into Jiaozhi.

So they have time to talk about it.

It is necessary to promote Jiaozhi to become the granary of the Great Song Dynasty as soon as possible.

After discussing the transfer of troops.

Zhao Zhen stared at Kou Ji very curiously and asked, "I heard that the fourth brother gave Cai Qi a box and didn't let him open it, what is inside?" ”

Wang Zeng also looked at Kou Ji with great curiosity.

Cai Qi had been holding the box in his arms when he saw the two of them, so both of them knew about it.

Kou Ji sighed: "If Gong Cai goes here, I'm afraid he will be like Gong Li, staying in Jiaozhi for the rest of his life." He can't go back to Bianjing City, and he can't go back to his hometown.

So the minister sent someone to Cai Gong's hometown, went to a handful of soil, and took a handful of soil from Bianjing. ”

Kou Ji had nothing to hide from this.

When people are in their hometown, the soil of their hometown is trampled under their feet, and no one cares.

But when a man leaves his homeland, a handful of soil from his homeland is better than all the gold and silver treasures.

Cai Qi is a literati, a literati with persistence.

In the event that Cochin does not meet the requirements he had in mind, he will not leave Cochin at all.

is also because of this, when he is homesick, the soil sent by Kou Ji is the only link between him and his hometown.

Zhao Zhen and Wang Zeng heard what Kou Ji had sent and fell into silence.

After a long time, Zhao Zhen said in a deep voice: "I will not let Cai Qike die in a foreign land." ”

Kou Ji shook his head, "Cai Gong sacrificed his life for righteousness, and he won't listen to anyone until he completes his ambition." ”

Wang Zeng nodded heavily, agreeing with Kou Ji's words.

Zhao Zhen sighed and said: "There are so many loyal people running around for my Great Song Dynasty, it is the blessing of my Great Song Dynasty." ”

Anyone who has such a group of courtiers who sacrifice their lives and forget their lives will have the same emotion in their hearts.

Zhao Zhen is a blessed one.

When others sit in the court, the loyal ministers will count them on their fingers.

When he sat in the court, the loyal ministers and good generals rushed out one by one.

Wang Zeng and Kou Ji accompanied Zhao Zhen for a while and left the palace.

The two returned to the political hall and fell into endless busyness.

Now there are only two of them left in the political affairs hall, and Wang Zeng is not young, so it is not good for him to push all government affairs to Wang Zeng to deal with.

Therefore, we have to deal with government affairs with Wang Zeng.

In addition, everything is not completely a foregone conclusion.

The supplies that should be sent to Jiaozhi are all on the way, so the two of them have to keep an eye on it.

The two were busy in the political hall until Cai Qi arrived at Jiaozhi, and made a settlement with the king of Jiaozhi County, and sent someone to send back the official document.

Inside the Shikudo.

After Wang Zeng read the official document sent back by Cai Qi, he said with a bright smile: "From now on, there is no Jiaozhi country in the world, only my Jiaozhi Mansion of the Great Song Dynasty."

To my surprise, the king of Jiaozhi didn't make any trouble from beginning to end, and happily handed over Jiaozhi to us.

It's a bit too much to scavenge everything from Cochin.

When Cai Qi arrived in Jiaozhi, what he saw was not a mountain of grain, but hundreds of thousands of people waiting to be fed.

Grain is not worth much in Jiaozhi, why is the king of Jiaozhi so unkind. ”

Hearing Wang Zeng's words, Kou Ji muttered in his heart.

Unless Cao Yu is crazy, he can't make a demon.

Stubbornly guarding Jiaozhi, he couldn't get anything, and he had to fight hard with Da Song.

The win rate is almost zero.

handed over Jiaozhi, not only received a large amount of military and material support from the Great Song Dynasty, but also the promise of Kou Ji to give him firearms.

He would definitely choose the latter.

After Wang Zeng laughed, Zhao Zhen followed with a smile: "Cai Aiqing has repeatedly confirmed that the grain in Jiaozhi is indeed three and four times a year. ”

Although it has been proven many times.

can confirm this matter again, Zhao Zhen is still very happy.

There were no ancient emperors who didn't like food.

If there is, it must be an unprecedented faint king.

Food represents the lives of the people.

As long as the people have food, they can live and will not rebel.

The emperor's country can be stable for a long time.

Therefore, all emperors who have a heart for the country and the society like food.

After Zhao Zhen sighed, Kou Ji couldn't help but say, "Am I the only one who pays attention to the movements of the King of Jiaozhi?" However, before the Duke of Cai arrived in Jiaozhi, the king of Jiaozhi conquered the three cities of neighboring countries.

After the bow and crossbow of my Great Song Dynasty were sent over, the king of Jiaozhi County took advantage of the power of the bow and crossbow to take down the five cities of the neighboring country one after another.

Its forces are unstoppable.

If this situation continues, in less than a year and a half, he will be able to carve out a territory in the west that is not lost to Cochin. ”

Before the Song people occupied Jiaozhi, Jiaozhi, and even the place west of Jiaozhi, fought very gentlely.

Their thousand-man battle is a big war.

The battle of tens of thousands of people is a big battle that is enough to boast in the history books.

After the Song people occupied Jiaozhi, the scale of the war continued to rise.

If the scale of a thousand people is less than a thousand, it is not called a battle.

Cochin has been baptized and has already felt what it means to be in a big war.

But the states west of Cochin still fought very gently.

Now, Cao used this tiger to rush into their territory with a group of tigers armed to the teeth.

The results speak for themselves.

It is impossible to expect a state with only a few thousand sets of rudimentary iron armor to resist with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses wearing iron armor led by Cao Yong.

The only thing that can cause harm to Cao Yu is probably the elephant soldiers in their hands.

But the elephant soldiers can only deter Cao from using it.

It is impossible to defeat Cao.

Cao used to serve as the privy envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, and he could effectively use the huge number of bed crossbows in his hands.

And what about elephants.

A certain number of bed crossbows were fired in a volley, and the elephant had to be killed on the spot.

There is also the fire crossbow meteor arrow that Cao used to research.

and some cannons that were secretly developed that resembled drug-hair puppets, which were enough to restrain elephant soldiers.

Koji could almost have predicted that one day a year later.

Cao used the meeting to set up his own royal banner in the west of Jiaozhi.

Wang Zeng heard Kou Ji's words and groaned, "What does Kou Xiang mean by letting the king of Jiaozhi County hand over those cities?" ”

Kou Ji shook his head and said, "The current situation of my Great Song Dynasty is not suitable for continued expansion. Forcing him to hand over his newly acquired land would be harmful to my Great Song.

What needs to be done now is to dispatch the Yongning Army from Yongzhou to Jiaozhi as soon as possible and fortify it on the border of Jiaozhi.

Then open a border market in the border area of Jiaozhi, clear the road, and help the king of Jiaozhi to digest the spoils.

He was now expanding his territory at such a rapid pace that it was impossible for him to rest and recuperate.

My Da Song can just take the opportunity to trade with him, and we can press a lot of goods to a very low price. ”

When Wang Zeng heard this, he fell into deep thought.

Zhao Zhen sighed, "The King of Jiaozhi County asked for a lot of materials from my Great Song this time. After my Great Song Dynasty concentrated these materials, the people have already shown a state of scarcity.

How can there be any spare energy to make a deal with the king of Jiaozhi. ”

Kou Ji said with a smile: "What the King of Jiaozhi County asked for before was only some materials needed on the battlefield. For example, some of the supplies that the people needed, he didn't ask for much.

With his rapid expansion.

The number of people under his command must have increased dramatically.

Naturally, there are more things needed. ”

Zhao Zhen and Wang Zeng were stunned.

Wang Zeng groaned: "If this is the case, it can be allowed to open a border market for Cai Qi as soon as possible." ”

Nowadays, there are quite a few border markets opened in the Great Song Dynasty.

Since most of the border markets were opened in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, the commercial tax collected was not small.

The Great Song Dynasty made a lot of money through the border market.

The monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty have all seen the benefits of the border market, so they are very active in opening the border market.

It's that the household department is relatively lagging behind in this regard.

However, after Kou Ji rectified it, he also became well-behaved.

After Wang Zeng's voice landed, Zhao Zhen spoke: "I will send someone to deliver the decree to Cai Aiqing, and I will also order the Privy Council to issue an order as soon as possible to let the Yongning Army be dispatched to Jiaozhi."

The follow-up of the cochin, but don't worry about it.

Now we have to worry about the ...... of the autumn harvest."

The autumn harvest is a day of joy.

But Zhao Zhen's tone was full of worry.

There is no other reason.

Those local soldiers who arrived in Liaodi at the end of last year and at the beginning of this year were assigned to the localities early.

After a long period of labor, they have seen food beckoning to them.

Some people can't wait to write to their families and ask them to move to Liaodi.

After the autumn harvest, this will form a wave.

When the time comes, millions of people will flock to the Vast Land.

This matter is not only a test for Liaodi, but also a test for the imperial court.

What's more, Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen's purpose of moving the people through recruiting troops will also be noticed by everyone.

If the local wealthy families don't take the opportunity to make trouble, then something strange will happen.

After Wang Zeng and Kou Ji heard Zhao Zhen's words, they lowered their faces.

Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "We have made arrangements for this matter, and the gates in various places have been opened. The people can go to Liaodi unimpeded.

The houses in Liaodi are almost built.

In some places, there was no way to build houses, and caves were dug.

In addition, most of the houses in the city of Liaodi are now empty, so it should not be a problem to resettle the people.

The local soldiers also greeted each other, and they would watch the people move.

If someone takes the opportunity to make trouble, they will take it on the spot. ”

Zhao Zhen said solemnly: "I'm not worried about this ......"

Koji closed his mouth and said nothing.

He also knew that the most important thing was not this.

The most important thing is that those wealthy families do not let go.

They have many connections with the local government, and many people in their families act as petty officials in the yamen.

They can detain the people for all sorts of reasons.

For example, the contract signed by both parties for short-term workers and tenants has not expired and cannot be left.

Another example is when he hears the rumors and tricks the people into signing a new contract and forcing the people to stay.

Or as a debtor, force the people to stay, and let them leave after the debt is exchanged.

They can even use the name of righteousness to oppress the people to stay.

For example, a wealthy family is the patriarch of a certain clan.

He doesn't nod, who dares to leave.

If someone leaves, he can move the rules of the clan.

In the countryside, people are killed by the rules of the clan.

The people in the clan approve that no one will sue the official.

If the people don't raise it, the officials won't hold it accountable.

Even in the Ming and Qing dynasties, this matter was still prevalent.

Even in the relatively civilized Republic of China, this is the case.

The clan used lynching, saying that the sinking pond would sink the pond, and no one had a temper.

The patriarch kills people and stands mighty.

It can suppress everyone in the clan in an instant.

No one will be able to leave at that time.

Not only can he not leave, but he may also be coerced and lured to call back his heirs who are far away in Liaodi.

Therefore, the large-scale relocation of people is full of difficulties.

"This matter needs to be considered in the long run......"

Wang Zeng couldn't help but speak.

Kou Ji pondered and said: "The soldiers of Liaodi will inevitably pass through the official post to pass the message, we can detain their letters, and try it first."

See what difficulties arise and what ways are there to solve them. ”

Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "Then try it first and then see." ”

The matter was discussed.

Kou Ji and Wang Zeng left the Shishitang.

After the two returned to the political hall, they have been thinking about how to relocate the people.

But in the end, I didn't think of a proper way.

"Do you want to use force, or use deception?"

After Kou Ji returned to the bamboo courtyard, he lay on the reclining chair in the bamboo courtyard and pondered.

A white and pure fat doll, with small steps, shook in front of him.

After a while, he grabbed a caterpillar and came to Kou Ji's side, fluttered and sat down at Kou Ji's feet, grabbed the caterpillar and stuffed it into his mouth.

Seeing this, Kou Ji sighed, picked up the little guy, slapped off the caterpillar in the little guy's hand, and stuffed a frosting candy into the little guy's mouth.

The little guy chuckled at Kou Ji with frosting candy in his mouth.

Saliva ran down the corners of his mouth and dripped onto Kou Ji's hands, slimy.

Koji sighed again.

"You said you didn't know a word, you came to me to learn, what can you learn?"

The little guy just smirked at Kou Ji and didn't speak at all.

Since Kou Ji accepted Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong to get started, trouble has come to the door.

There is an endless stream of people who come to the bamboo courtyard to seek apprenticeship.

Some came to admire, and some took the initiative to introduce Yan.

If it weren't for the high enough threshold of the bamboo courtyard, I'm afraid there would be more people coming to apprentice.

After all, except for the three new disciples under Kou Ji's sect, none of the remaining ones were mediocre.

The worst ones are all the governors of a state.

Now it is rumored in Bianjing City that he has entered the Kou Ji Sect, and he will be the worst in the future, and that is Zhizhou.

Then there are people and ghosts, all of whom come.

After all, some genuine Jinshi may not be able to mix in the position of Zhizhou for the rest of their lives.

For example, Wang Anshi's father.

After so many years, he is still a county official.

Therefore, if you enter the Kou Ji Sect, you can mix a Zhizhou at worst, and the effect can be imagined.

Some people really come for learning.

But it's more for the career.

Kou Ji released the words in front of Xiang Yan, and Xiang Yan released the words again, so there was no way to refuse directly.

So Kou Ji dragged his two disciples out and fought with those students who came to apprentice.

There is no doubt that two demon-level guys unilaterally slaughtered them.

Kou Ji naturally turned them away.

But some people can't refuse.

For example, this little guy lying in Kou Ji's arms.

His mother carried him to the bamboo courtyard, and she didn't say anything about apprenticeship.

Let's just say that let the child be close to his uncle.

As soon as you get close, you won't leave.

Although his mother didn't say it, her heart was self-evident.

For other children, Kou Ji can still let people send them back.

But this kid can't be delivered.

People rely on it in the bamboo courtyard, that's how it should be.

Who called Kou Ji owed his mouth at that time, and he had to recognize his father as his younger brother.

That's right, this little guy is Di Qing's son Di Yong.

The one who sent him over was Second Sister Cao.

Di Yong is Di Qing's second son.

is destined to mess with his own future.

His father's title has nothing to do with him.

Because in this era when the eldest son inherits the family business.

No matter how high his father's title is, it belongs to his brother.

Kou Ji picked up Di Yong with his hand, put it in his arms, and sighed: "Your mother is also worrying, if your father is crowned king." You can just mix a position in the fiefdom and live comfortably for the rest of your life. ”

Di Yong seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Kou Ji's instigation of him to live a foolish life, and his legs fluttered.

Koji almost didn't throw him out.

The little guy is not very old, and the strength on his feet is not small.

stepped on Kou Ji's belly, and forced Kou Ji to step on it and spit out a breath of turbidity.

If Kou Ji was prepared, it wouldn't be so.

The point is that Kou Ji is not prepared.
