This opportunity also does not come often.

Kou Ji can get so much at once, it is also related to what he did in the palace today, plus the support of Zhao Zhen and Zhao Yuanzuo, he can get so much.

After all, the country is the Zhao family.

The eldest son of Taizong, a current official family, and the two most powerful people in the Zhao family speak out, and no one can stop them.

Even though Liu E and Kou Zhun hold great power, they can occasionally disobey Zhao Zhen, a petty official, but they are not good at disobeying Zhao Yuanzuo.

This is a lord who ordered the East Palace when he was unhappy.

If he annoys him, he will also set the palace on fire, and everyone will not look good.

For the sake of some money, I can't do it against this person.

Speaking of which, we have to talk about the question of whether the Great Song Dynasty had any money.

In terms of whether there is money or not, the Great Song Dynasty also belongs to a strange thing.

Was the Great Song Dynasty rich?

Yes!

As a dynasty with unprecedented commercial prosperity, the annual commercial tax alone can earn tens of millions of yuan, which is almost the same as the collection of the people's grain tax.

In addition, the Great Song Dynasty also had government-run salt and iron, as well as government-run maritime trade.

In later generations, many people always mistakenly thought that China's ancient maritime trade business was very withered and bleak.

Not really.

The official maritime trade business of the Great Song Dynasty was very prosperous.

Not to mention the porcelain, silk and other goods that are transported out for sale, there are more than 5,000 large seafaring ships that are shipped out of the government-built shipyard every year.

Year after year, the big ships of the Great Song Dynasty drifting on the sea, numbering hundreds of thousands, how can they not be considered prosperous.

And that's not even counting the boats that merchants went to sea without permission, and the fishing boats that went out to fish.

Therefore, the rumor that the ancient maritime trade was not prosperous is purely a rumor.

It is precisely because of this that in addition to taxes, the Great Song Dynasty also had a huge amount of profits handed over by many government-run workshops every year.

Therefore, the Great Song Dynasty was very rich.

It is not an exaggeration to describe it as rich and oily.

However, the Great Song Dynasty had money, but the officials of the past dynasties lived very poorly, and even had to build palaces and other buildings, and occasionally raise donations, or knock on those merchants who ate with fat stomachs.

The treasury is empty every year, and at the end of each year, you can see countless rats tumbling and jumping in it.

Why?

It is because the Great Song Dynasty court was very generous to the courtiers.

Whether it is Wu Xun, or a clansman, or a minister of civil and military affairs, there will never be a time when there is a lack of food and clothing, nothing to eat, and no money to squander.

The successive emperors of the Zhao family, in order to sit on the throne, were willing to endure hardships themselves, and they had to let their courtiers eat and drink.

At this point, the successive emperors of the Zhao family can be regarded as the best among the emperors of all dynasties.

Regardless of the foreign official who entered Beijing, as long as he entered Bianjing City as an official, the imperial court would basically give them a house in Bianjing City.

Often a house can be worth decades, or even hundreds of years, of officials.

This year's Chinese New Year's Eve banquet.

In addition to the royal family and nobles, Kou Ji is the most well-fed.

Yellow and white things worth 1.5 million yuan, two houses worth 200,000 yuan, these are all small heads.

The real big head is the two hundred households that Zhao Yuanzuo gave him.

As long as Zhao Yuanzuo does not take back his reward, Kou Ji will be able to eat the offerings of the two hundred households for a lifetime.

Zhao Yuanzuo was reappointed as the pastor of Jiangling, and the new 200 food estates were also in Jiangling.

Jiangling is in the Great Song Dynasty and can be regarded as a relatively wealthy place.

Two hundred households are a lot of money.

From the time Kou Ji left the palace, it was not difficult to see the officials who were staring at the back of his carriage.

Kou Ji is a great gift today.

In this regard, Kou Ji also has his own opinion.

He felt that it was wrong for the imperial court to reward officials in this way.

People are always insatiable, and the more you pamper those civil and military ministers, the more greedy they become.

Although this is a bit of a suspicion of eating the main family's meal and smashing the main family's pot.

But the Manchu Dynasty did this for both civil and military purposes, and it didn't hurt for Kou Ji to do it occasionally.

After the grandfather and grandson returned to Koufu.

Kou Zhun asked Kou Ji to put the yellow and white things in the carriage into the treasury, and told Kou Zhong to go to the Sansi Yamen tomorrow to receive the mansion, maids and other things that the court rewarded Kou Ji.

Kou Zhun declined Kou Li's invitation to celebrate the New Year together, and under the stunned eyes of everyone in the house, he stood up from Kou Ji's bus, dragged Kou Ji's ear, and entered his bedroom.

As soon as you enter the room.

Kou Zhun let go of Kou Ji's ears, and scolded with a dark face: "You kneel down for the old man." ”

Kou Ji knew that he couldn't escape this catastrophe, so he knelt down in front of Kou Zhun very obediently.

Kou Zhun pointed at Kou Ji's nose and scolded, "Do you think you are very heroic and heroic today?" ”

Kou Ji shook his head decisively, "There is no ......"

Kou Zhun didn't mean to spare him, "No fart!" What did you do without rushing up and fighting with the Liao? That's what you're supposed to do? ”

Kou Ji confessed his mistake and said, "Grandfather, I know it's wrong. ”

Kou Zhun pointed to the location of the treasury in the mansion and scolded: "If you get a little money, you will be complacent." Does the old man lack that money? The money in the house is about to become moldy, do you need to exchange your life for money? ”

In other people's houses, it is a prosperous person, either the son of a loser, or the grandson of a scattered wealth.

Even if it is a loyal and martyred family, there is also an unscrupulous descendant named Zhi Jixuan, not to mention other mansions.

On the contrary, Kou Fu is different.

Kou Zhun was busy dealing with the affairs of the court every day, and had no spare time to spend money.

Kou Li, who is a son, occasionally spends some money in the house, but the amount is very small, basically not more than 1,000 yuan.

The money he spent was not even a drizzle for Kou Zhun, and Kou Zhun was too lazy to take care of him.

Kou Ji, who is a grandson, is even more different.

Not only did he not spend the money on the house, but he also sent money to the house when he had nothing to do.

As the heir of Kou Mansion recognized by Kou Zhun, after Kou Zhun is a hundred years old, the money that Kou Mansion has accumulated for many years is not all Kou Ji's.

Kou Zhun felt that with so much money for Kou Ji to spend, there was no need for Kou Ji to work hard for money.

Not only do you not have to work hard for money, but you can even spend money to let others work hard for you.

Kou Ji smiled bitterly: "Grandfather, you know, the reason why my grandson came forward is not for money. ”

Kou Zhun glared and shouted, "The old man knows that you came forward to fight for your life, not for money. But the old man just wants to grasp this talk and reprimand you, do you have an opinion? ”

Hearing this, Kou Ji shook his head decisively.

Kneel on the ground and listen to Kou Zhun's reprimand.

waited until Kou Zhun was tired of scolding before he got down to business, "Your actions today will definitely anger the Liao people, and my Great Song Dynasty will inevitably have a fight with the Liao people." ”

Under Kou Zhun's vague hint, Kou Ji slowly got up and muttered, "I thought about this problem before I came forward in Yanfu Palace. I deduced it carefully, and felt that it was impossible for Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu to use swords against my Great Song Dynasty for the sake of a Liao person.

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu was going to conquer Western Xia, and he was marching in the mountains, and he must have arrived in Waiyun Prefecture at this moment.

From Waiyunzhou to my Great Song Dynasty, some can't be drawn.

The Liao army marched in the mountains, which was already difficult.

From Waiyunzhou to the border of my Great Song Dynasty, we need to cross several major mountains.

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu has been stuffy in the mountains for more than a month.

It is impossible to be bored for another month or two and cross several major mountains to attack my Great Song Dynasty.

Out of Waiyunzhou, the Liao people faced the Western Xia, which was a flat river, and it was easier for them to dominate their iron horses. ”

Kou Zhun thought carefully about Kou Ji's words, nodded slowly, and said: "If the Liao people are really in Waiyunzhou, then they really have no choice, bypass the mountains and come to attack my Great Song Dynasty." ”

Kou Zhun glanced at Kou Ji and asked, "Then what explanation do you make for reminding Yelu Angkor on the Yanfu Palace?" ”

Kou Ji chuckled in a low voice, "It's just to force him to get out of here early." By the time he sent the news back, Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu estimated that he had already led his soldiers and horses to the border of Western Xia.

Whether we have revealed the news to the Western Xia, he only needs to send scouts to investigate the border defense of the Western Xia, and he will know. ”

Kou Zhun groaned: "So what you did in Yanfu Palace today was not reckless, but after careful calculation?" ”

Kou Ji said truthfully: "I also came up with it after slaughtering that Liao man. ”

Kou Zhun snorted heavily.

The urn said angrily.

"Accompany the old man to keep the New Year's ......"

Kou Ji nodded in agreement, and sat down in the bedroom with Kou Ji.

After sitting for a long time, Kou Zhun fell asleep in a daze.

Kou Ji helped Kou Zhun cover himself with a blanket and stay by his side.

When it was time for the third watch, Kou Zhun was awakened.

The grandfather and grandson washed up briefly, and after eating something, they changed into court clothes and entered the palace again.

No one can miss the morning meeting on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Today's court meeting, regardless of political affairs, but there are many things to do.

After entering the palace, after going to the court, under the guidance of Zhao Zhen, he went out of the palace gate and went to Jingling Palace to worship the sages and the ancestors of the Zhao family.

Then he returned to the palace and worshiped Zhao Heng again.

Then he returned to the court and met with the envoys of various countries.

It was busy until the evening, and then it ended.

After Kou Zhun's ancestors and grandsons returned to the mansion, they were almost exhausted and paralyzed.

The two of them were covered with quilts and slept purringly.

I slept until the second day of the Lunar New Year.

Early in the morning, people came to visit.

The person who visited was not a guest, but the steward of the Chu Palace.

Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Chu, fulfilled his promise and allocated 200 households in Jiangling to Kou Ji.

The steward of the Chu Palace's palace gave Kou Ji a volume of documents, which was stamped with the seal of the king of Chu, the jade seal, the seal of the inner court, and the seal of Zongzheng.

The reason why so many seals are stamped is to tell everyone.

Kou Ji ate 200 households of Jiangling food, which was approved by the imperial court.

No one can find fault with anyone, and no one dares to make irresponsible remarks.

When Kou Ji handed the documents given by the steward of the Chu Palace, and asked Kou Zhong to send someone to deal with the matter, Kou Zhong almost fainted without excitement.

It's not that he can share some benefits from the middle, he is purely excited for Kou Ji and happy for Kou Ji.

The 200 households are not just a matter of getting a huge amount of money.

It is a symbol of identity and status.

This indicates that Kou Ji alone can call himself a powerful man and a wealthy family.

Kou Ji didn't care about this, waved his hand, and let Kou Zhong go down and watch and deal with it himself.

Kou Zhong took the documents sent by the steward of the Chu Palace, and hurriedly went to find Kou Zhun.

There are some things that Kou Ji doesn't understand, but that doesn't mean that Kou Zhun doesn't understand either.

Kou Zhong felt that there was a question about Kou Ji's food in Jiangling, and it was necessary to discuss it with Kou Zhun.

What will Kou Zhong discuss with Kou Zhun.

Koji didn't know.

Koji was now busy greeting guests at the door.

The first to arrive in Koufu were Wang Shu and his wife.

Kou Ji saw Wang Shu and his wife, and took the initiative to give a salute, "The little nephew has seen my uncle and my aunt. ”

As for Wang Yuan, who was following behind them, pouting and disdainful, Kou Ji chose to ignore him.

With Kou Ji's status and prestige in the court today, no one cares about ignoring him Wang Yuan.

Wang Shu saw Kou Ji, smiled all over his face, and said, "Kou Ji, you fought fiercely for my Great Song in Yanfu Palace last night." ”

Kou Ji said with a smile: "A little trick can't be put on the stage, and I can't be praised by my uncle." ”

Wang Shu shook his head and said with emotion: "On the way to Kou Mansion, I heard a lot of people promoting your reputation and praising your feats in Yanfu Palace.

Some people even praised you as the first warrior of my Great Song Dynasty. ”

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, and said lightly: "We don't learn the things of the Liao people, and we don't use them." I am an ordinary civil official in the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Wang Shu saw that Kou Ji did not accept the praise, so he had no words.

Wang Kou replied to Kou Ji with a stiff smile on his face, "Nephew is polite......

From her, I can no longer see the arrogance of wanting to drive Kou Ji out of the mansion in the Kou Mansion.

She's stupid, but she's not stupid.

From Kou Ji's successive awards, it is not difficult to see that Kou Ji's rise is unstoppable.

In the top few positions of the Great Song Dynasty, there will definitely be a place for Kou Ji.

In the future, if Kou Zhun is gone.

Wang Shu's father and son inevitably had to ask Kou Ji for help.

Naturally, she didn't dare to offend Kou Ji again.

But she didn't apologize to Kou Ji for what she did before.

She felt that this foreign wild child was not enough to make her, the concubine of the Kou Mansion, nod and apologize.

Kou Ji welcomed Wang Shu and his wife into the Kou Mansion, accompanied them and said a few words, and asked them to take them to Kou Zhun.

Kou Ji went to the front of the mansion alone and continued to greet guests.

After waiting at the door for a long time, Zhang Cheng and his wife led his cubs Bao'er, Erbao, and Lu Ming to the house.

They came in a carriage with a large box on it.

When I arrived at the gate of the Koufu, I stopped the carriage.

Someone removed the boxes from the car.

Zhang Cheng took the lead in walking in front of Kou Ji and arched his hand: "Brother Kou Ji, we're late." We were going to come to the house yesterday. However, I heard that you officials have to enter the palace on Chinese New Year's Eve, so I didn't come.

Come here early this morning, in addition to giving you an early year, I will send you the profits of my Vientiane pawnshop and the Vientiane Building. ”
