Kou Ji's mouth softened, but Zhao Yuanyan didn't see Kou Ji have any appearance of being soft.

Zhao Yuanyan was annoyed in his heart and was about to open his mouth to reprimand Kou Ji, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back.

He came to Kou Ji for a purpose.

You can't get angry with Kou Ji because of anger and let your purpose fail.

Zhao Yuanyan glared at Kou Ji viciously, snorted coldly, and said, "This king came here this time because I want to discuss something with you. ”

Kou Ji naturally knew that Zhao Yuanyan had something to look for him, otherwise he would not have been able to send Su Chan'er to Kou Mansion before.

Kou Ji said lightly: "Lord Wang, it's okay to talk about it." ”

Zhao Yuanyan stared at Kou Ji and said in a deep voice: "This king wants to ask you for two things, but this king will not ask for it in vain, and this king will pay the corresponding reward." ”

Kou Ji raised his eyebrows and said, "What does the prince want?" ”

Zhao Yuanyan saw that Kou Ji did not refuse, his face was much softer, and said: "Don't be in a hurry to say what this king wants, this king will tell you about this king's reward first." ”

Kou Ji was slightly stunned, and nodded in a deep voice.

Zhao Yuanyan sat up, stared at Kou Ji and said, "This king can show you the edict from the first emperor to this king." ”

When Kou Ji heard this, his heart moved.

When Zhao Heng was dying, he gave Zhao Yuanyan an edict, and Kou Ji knew about it.

Koji also speculated on the contents of the edict.

It's just that he hasn't read the edict after all, and he doesn't know how much the content of the edict is different from the content of the edict he speculated.

Although Zhao Heng died, his edict was of little use.

But now most of the civil and military ministers in the court are left behind by Zhao Heng.

Zhao Zhen has not yet been pro-government, and he has not yet cultivated his own cronies, so Zhao Heng's edict still has some effect.

So Kou Ji was a little moved by the reward given by Zhao Yuanyan.

Seeing that Kou Ji was silent, Zhao Yuanyan guessed that Kou Ji was a little moved, so he continued: "This king can also tell you two secrets, two secrets about the Queen Mother. ”

"The secret of the Queen Mother?"

Kou Ji was slightly stunned, stunned.

Although Zhao Yuanyan's words were short, there was a lot of information contained in them.

It is easy for Kou Ji to deduce from Zhao Yuanyan's words that Liu E has not given up power since she was imprisoned in the palace, and it seems that she is still planning behind her back, ready to repeat.

The timing of the repetition is likely to be the time when Kou Zhun will step down as the chief regent and peace minister.

Thinking of this, Kou Ji suddenly looked at Zhao Yuanyan and asked in a deep voice, "What do you want?" ”

Zhao Yuanyan saw Kou Ji take the bait, smiled knowingly, and said, "What this king wants, you can easily take it out." ”

Kou Ji narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "So...... What exactly do you want? ”

Zhao Yuanyan was willing to exchange three secrets, believing that what he wanted must not be a simple thing.

Zhao Yuanyan said with a smile: "The things used to print Jiaozi, and the mold used to make new money......

Kou Ji's eyes were open, his heart was beating, and the quick analyst Zhao Yuanyan wanted to hand over the intention of the sub template and the money template.

Among the many Jiaozi shops established by imitating the word Jiaozi shop in Bianjing City, there is the Jiaozi shop established by Zhao Yuanyan.

Although he nominally did it again in the name of Wang Qinruo, Kou Ji, who knew Zhao Yuanyan's roots, knew that Jiaozipu must be Zhao Yuanyan's industry.

Zhao Yuanyan remembered the Jiaozi template and the coinage template, but Kou Ji was not surprised.

In addition to relying on Zhao Zhen and borrowing the reputation of the royal family, the word Jiaozi shop is stronger than other Jiaozi shops, which is the Jiaozi template and the money casting template.

It is also these two sets of templates that have established the transcendent status of the word Jiaozipu.

So that other Jiaozi shops, out of reach.

Zhao Yuanyan wants to do a big Jiaozi shop, and he must get these two sets of templates.

Otherwise, his Jiaozi shop can only be ranked behind the one-word Jiaozi shop forever.

Zhao Yuanyan saw that Kou Ji was in deep thought, so he smiled and said: "This king has to admit that your means of collecting wealth are unparalleled in the world. The Jiaozi shop you founded is faster than robbing money.

With just a piece of paper, you can ask the merchants of the world to send the money in their hands to the shop.

In less than a month, the money collected is as much as hundreds of thousands.

In the long run, you are afraid that the money you save will break through to an extremely terrifying number in a very short period of time. ”

After a pause, Zhao Yuanyan sighed, "If this king had known that you had such means, he should have tried every means to bring you to the mansion." ”

Kou Ji slowly came back to his senses and asked: "Does the prince want to use the things of printing Jiaozi to develop the Jiaozi shop in his hand?" ”

Zhao Yuanyan didn't hide it, and nodded slowly.

Kou Ji said again: "Then the prince doesn't need to cast money?" The reason why the new money used by the word Jiaozi shop is exquisite is because it costs a lot of money when it is minted.

After careful calculation, the cost of minting a new coin is far greater than the cost of melting the old money and minting it into a Heavenly Saint Tongbao.

Therefore, when issuing new money, not only will it not make money, but it will also take some money.

Why did the prince do such a thankless job? ”

When Zhao Yuanyan heard this, he was slightly stunned, glanced at Kou Ji, and said indifferently: "Since this king wants to develop and grow Jiaozipu, he naturally wants to borrow everything from Jiaozipu.

I believe that when you start a shop, you must use the best things.

Therefore this king wants them all. ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he said without the slightest hesitation: "The officials have to go back and think about this matter, after all, it is widely implicated." If the lower official gave you these two things in private. If it is known, the subordinate himself is afraid that he will get into a lot of trouble. ”

Zhao Yuanyan's eyes fell on Kou Ji, looking at Kou Ji, discerning the truth of his words.

After a long time, he nodded and said, "This king will give you three days, and after three days, this king will wait for you here." ”

Kou Ji nodded, got up and arched his hand, and exited the conservatory.

As soon as Kou Ji left, Zhao Yuanyan's eyes sank, and he said to a screen not far from him: "Wang Aiqing thinks, will Kou Ji agree?" ”

Behind the screen.

Wang Qinruo's voice sounded slowly, "Back to the prince, the old minister can't say for sure." Kou Ji has always had rules and strategies in doing things. He didn't agree on the spot, he was afraid that he had other thoughts, and the prince still had to prepare early. ”

Zhao Yuanyan frowned and said: "The workshop of the word Jiaozipu to mint new money is far away in Jiangling, and Jiangling is the food town of the emperor's brother. If the king sends someone to get the mold cast with new money, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be broken by the emperor's brother's people. ”

While Zhao Yuanyan was talking, the screen between him and Wang Qinruo was slowly pushed open.

Wang Qinruo arched his hand at Zhao Yuanyan on the bed, and said: "The king of Chu has never set foot in the court, and he has turned a blind eye to the disputes in the court. In the name of recuperation all day long, he hid in the house and refused to leave the house.

Can there be any capable people in his house? ”

Zhao Yuanyan shook his head and said: "The royal brother of this king has been restored to the throne for more than 20 years, and I don't know how many capable people and righteous people have climbed to his mansion. He didn't stay in the house to listen to it, but sent it to the restaurant.

There is a dragon and a crouching tiger in his food, and he has to guard against it. ”

When Wang Qinruo heard this, he thought about it and said, "I didn't expect the King of Chu to accumulate so much strength behind his back all these years, could it be that he ......."

Zhao Yuanyan shook his head decisively and said: "In the past, the royal brother of this king had the throne within his reach, and he didn't care about it, let alone now. He sent those capable and righteous people who clinged to him to the food town, also so that they could have a full bite to eat, and had no other purpose. ”

When Wang Qinruo heard this, he nodded and said, "That's fine...... If he has two hearts, I am afraid that there will be many variables in our plan. ”

After a pause, Wang Qinruo looked at Zhao Yuanyan and said, "Since you can't send someone to Jiangling, then if you want to mint money, you can only start with Kou Ji." ”

Zhao Yuanyan let out a long sigh and said, "Only like this......"

Zhao Yuanyan and Wang Qinruo, both of whom opened and closed their mouths, were molds for casting money, but they never mentioned the template printed by Jiaozi.

Obviously, their real purpose is to mint money in the mold.

Although Zhao Yuanyan has never shown the importance of coinage molds, Kou Ji still deduced one or two from the conversation with him just now.

From Kou Ji entering the conservatory to the time he left the conservatory, Zhao Yuanyan judged the two of them.

From the very beginning of the frightened scare and threat, to the end of the secret, luring him to the bait, like a very routine.

Zhao Yuanyan scared him and threatened him, and after the scare and threat failed, he showed a sense of powerlessness, as if he was acting.

As if telling Koji that he had nothing to do with Koji.

Kou Ji can safely make a deal with him.

In order to make Kou Ji let his guard down, and then hide his true purpose when making a deal with Kou Ji.

It's just that he still showed his flaws after all, and he was really looked at by Kou Ji.

He did not show the desire to get the money mold.

But at the end of his conversation with Kou Ji, the reason he gave in order to get the money mold was a bit far-fetched.

Jiaozi and coinage can complement each other, and how to develop, only Kou Ji knows, but Zhao Yuanyan doesn't know.

But now Jiaozi has not developed into a situation where it complements the coinage.

Without the help of minting money, Jiaozipu can also develop slowly.

Zhao Yuanyan had to say that in order to apply all the methods of the one-word Jiaozi shop, he had to get the Jiaozi template and the money casting template, which made Kou Ji have some doubts in his heart.

What's more, Kou Ji deliberately said that the cost of minting new money was far greater than the copper coins minted by the imperial court, but Zhao Yuanyan did not show disappointment, nor did he flinch, and still wanted to mint money.

That shows that Zhao Yuanyan may care a lot about the money casting template.

If he gets the money struck template, he may use it elsewhere.

Like what...... The Minting Office of the Young Governor.

The Shaofu Supervisor is the private land of the Zhao clan.

Zhao Yuanyan, as the chief of the Zhao family, is naturally qualified to replace the Zhao clan and manage the Shaofu Supervisor and the Money Mint under his jurisdiction.

"It's the new money issued by the Yizizi Shop, which makes the Mint feel threatened and affects them to make a profit in the Mint, so they want to get rid of the mold of the coinage? Or are they planning to use the new money to achieve some ulterior purpose? ”

After Kou Ji got out of Zhao Yuanyan's courtyard, he secretly speculated.

The Mint Department intends to use the mold of coinage to mint a batch of miscellaneous money and ruin the credibility of the new money.

It is unknown whether he plans to use the new money to impact the coinage workshops in the world, so as to take back the coinage power of the people in the world.

But with the new money, influencing the Mint is what Kou Ji wants.

Kou Ji not only wanted to use the new money to influence the Mint Bureau, but also wanted to use the new money to impact the power of the Mint Bureau, so that the imperial court could depose the minting subordinates and hand over the power of minting money to the Ministry of Industry.

Now Koji's goal is faintly achieved.

Zhao Yuanyan wanted to come up with a horizontal bar.

"Huh...... How can I make you happy......"

Kou Ji pursed his lips in disdain and left the location of the courtyard.

Although Kou Ji was very moved by the secrets in Zhao Yuanyan's mouth, for the sake of three secrets, he ruined his long-term plan, which was a bit more than worth the loss.

On a bridge in the outer city, Kou Ji found two errand runners, rewarded each of them with a silver leaf, and asked them to run to Koufu and help him call the coachman of Koufu.

Previously, he went to Zhao Yuanyan's courtyard, and the reason why he sent the coachman to drive back was also just in case.

In case he disappeared in Zhao Yuanyan's courtyard.

The coachman is a witness.

Although Zhao Yuanyan wouldn't do such a stupid thing, what if?

The coachman of Koufu, after receiving the messenger of running errands, drove the carriage to the bridge, carried Kouji, and went straight out of the city.

Regarding the deal proposed by Zhao Yuanyan, Kou Ji decisively left it behind.

After arriving outside the city.

Kou Ji inspected the hot construction site, encouraged the people, checked the quality of the building, and then turned back to Bianjing.

walked around the outer city and swayed to Xiangfu.

After winter.

Xiang Minzhong occasionally felt some wind cold, and his body bones were relatively weak, so he was sick in bed.

Kou Ji took Xiang Yan to Xiang Mansion to see Xiang Minzhong.

It's just that Xiang Yan saw Xiang Minzhong, Xiang Minzhong was lying on the sickbed and complained, complaining that Xiang Yan was not angry, and she had been married to Kou Ji for so long, and she had not been pregnant with a man and a woman.

bluntly said that before he died, he couldn't hold his great-grandson, and he wouldn't blink his eyes when he died.

Xiang Minzhong relied on his age and dying, and he dared to say all kinds of nonsense and stupid words.

was stunned to say Xiang Yan, and did not dare to step into the door of Xiang Mansion.

Xiang Yan couldn't do her filial piety in front of Xiang Minzhong's knees, and Kou Ji occasionally had to come and go.

He didn't need to pass it on when he arrived at Xiangfu, and after jumping out of the carriage, he went straight to Xiang Minzhong's bedroom.

As soon as he showed his face at the door of Xiang Minzhong's bedroom, Xiang Minzhong lay on the bed and complained.

"Why are you here again?"

Kou Ji entered the bedroom, arched his hand to Xiang Minzhong on the bed, and bowed to Mrs. Xiang who was waiting in the room, as well as his mother-in-law.

Then he spoke: "You don't dare to enter the door when you say Yan'er, I can only come over to replace Yan'er and do my filial piety to you." ”

Xiang Minzhong was lying on the bed, his face was a little pale, he clenched his fists, pounded the bed, and said angrily: "The old man wants you to be filial to have a fart, which of you can really be filial to the old man?"

The old man wants a great-grandson! Great-grandchildren! ”
