Kou Ji glanced at Liu Heng in surprise, wanting to ask Liu Heng what the current situation was.

saw Liu Heng covering his face with his sleeve, unable to see his expression, and unable to communicate.

Kou Ji had to cough heavily.

Liu Heng put down his sleeves with an embarrassed expression.

Kou Ji glanced at Liu Heng and seemed to ask Liu Heng what was going on.

Liu Heng embarrassedly squeezed out a smile.

The woman on horseback looked at the two of them with a strange face, "I remember that in your Song people's books, it is written that there are eyebrows and eyebrows, is this what you are like now?" ”

Kou Jijun's face turned red and glared at Liu Heng viciously.

seems to blame Liu Heng, how could he get into this trouble.

Liu Heng smiled bitterly and said dryly to the woman on horseback: "Let's find a place to sit down and talk about it." ”

The woman raised her head and shook the long whip in her hand, "What else is there to say, you go back quickly now to prepare cattle, sheep and horses, and find my eldest brother to propose marriage." ”

Liu Heng spread out his hands and sighed, "But we didn't do anything?" ”

"Smack!"

The woman shook the whip in her hand and exclaimed, "We've been together for one night...... My eldest brother said that a man and a woman have to get married if they stay together for one night. ”

Kou Ji raised his eyebrows, and his expression was ambiguous on Liu Heng and the woman.

Seeing this, Liu Heng said to Kou Ji with a bitter face: "Fourth brother, I really didn't do anything." ”

Kou Ji forced a smile and said, "At this time, is it still useful to say this?" ”

When Liu Heng heard this, his face became even more bitter.

The woman carried a long whip, pointed at Liu Heng, and asked loudly: "Do you marry me, if you don't marry me, I will beat you to death!" ”

Liu Heng looked at Kou Ji with a pleading gaze.

Seeing this, the woman glared at Kou Ji fiercely.

Kou Ji waved his hand decisively and said, "The two of you will deal with the matter, and I will not participate." ”

Dropping these words, Kou Ji left Liu Heng and fled the alley in a hurry.

The woman looked at Kou Ji's fleeing back and snorted a few times, "You know each other......

Liu Heng anxiously shouted to Kou Ji's back: "Fourth brother...... Help me......"

Kou Ji covered his ears and pretended not to hear.

Out of the alley, I found a place where no one was around, and laughed loudly.

Listening to the alley, the woman chased Liu Heng and shouted to kill, and Kou Ji laughed louder.

Although he didn't know what happened between Liu Heng and An Ziluo's sister, An Ziluo's sister obviously relied on Liu Heng.

Liu Heng did something, so he was a little unreasonable, and let An Ziluo's sister chase after him and shout and kill.

Otherwise, with Liu Heng's martial arts, An Ziluo's sister would have been ripped off the horse a long time ago.

"Is this a happy enemy? If Liu Mei knew that Liu Heng had provoked a Qingtang woman, I don't know how to feel? ”

Kou Ji smiled and muttered, and walked towards the outside of Bianjing City.

Liu Heng and An Ziluo's sister's relationship, Kou Ji does not plan to intervene.

Let's see how far they can go.

If it comes to the end and really comes together, if he encounters obstacles, he will definitely help.

Kou Ji left Bianjing City and arrived at Ruishengzhuang outside Bianjing City.

Ruishengzhuang is the name of the people of Bianjing City for the places where the displaced people outside the city live.

No one deliberately named the places where the displaced people lived.

It is purely that the place where the displaced people live is close to the royal garden Ruisheng Garden, and when the people of Bianjing City call the place where they live, they naturally call it Ruishengzhuang.

When Kou Ji arrived outside Ruisheng Village, he saw some scholars outside Ruisheng Village.

Kou Ji looked at them for a moment or two, and entered the village with doubts.

Chen Jing, Wang Tiansheng and others hurriedly greeted Kou Ji after learning that Kou Ji had arrived.

"The grass people have seen the ...... of the Kou Gong Department"

"The students have seen the ...... of the Kou Gong Department"

The two bowed.

Kou Ji waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite...... How are wrought iron furnaces built? ”

Chen Jing smiled dryly: "The grass people don't know how to wrought iron, but I heard from the craftsmen in your house that there is a furnace, which can already be used, and after the iron and charcoal are transported, the furnace can be opened to forge iron." ”

The coal in Chen Jing's mouth refers to coal.

The ancients discovered coal at a very early age, but when coal is burned, it will produce poisonous gas, and if you are not careful, you will be poisoned to death.

Therefore, most of the ancients stayed away from coal.

Only a small number of craftsmen use coal in forging.

Kou Ji used coal when he was making steel in Fushang, and he also taught the craftsmen in Fushang how to use coal while avoiding being harmed by poisonous gas.

The craftsmen of Koufu more or less learned about some of the characteristics of coal.

The iron forged from coal is far better than the iron they forged from traditional charcoal and firewood.

Many of the craftsmen in Khao have now abandoned charcoal and firewood in favor of coal.

The large wrought iron workshops built outside the city naturally also used coal as fuel.

It is worth mentioning that because the ancients were respectful of coal, many open-pit coal mines were full of coal, and no one picked it up.

The manager who went out to purchase coal could easily exchange a copper coin for a basket of coal.

Under the leadership of Chen Jing, Kou Ji inspected the front of the blast furnace established by the wrought iron workshop, found some of the deficiencies, and corrected them.

And it was agreed that in a few days, when the first batch of iron and coal arrived, they would come to watch the ironmaking (steelmaking).

Although salt and iron are operated by the three divisions, the matter of iron materials is difficult for Kou Ji.

Even if Kou Ji didn't go through the three divisions and mined and purchased iron materials on a large scale, no one could find fault.

Because the Yu Department under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry has the power to cut down wood and extract stones, and mine gold, silver, copper and iron ore.

Although the imperial court has given these powers to the three divisions, the imperial court has not abolished these powers of the Ministry of Industry.

It's just that in the past, the imperial court relied on the three divisions, and the Ministry of Industry couldn't grab the three divisions, so they could only follow behind the three divisions, or simply do nothing.

Now that Kou Ji is in charge of the Ministry of Political Affairs, how can he let the three divisions and one family dominate again?

How can the three divisions be allowed to take the authority of the Ministry of Industry and be powerful?

Kou Ji left the wrought iron workshop, went to the textile workshop, and inspected the private school that was being built.

Before leaving, he stared at the scholars outside Ruisheng Village and asked Chen Jing, "What are those people doing here?" ”

Chen Jing bowed down and replied: "If you go back to the Ministry of Kougong, those scholars heard that we are going to build a private school here, and they plan to let tens of thousands of dolls study together, so they want to beg for a bite to eat in the private school we have created."

You said before that the gentleman who teaches the dolls has to choose among the grass people, so the grass people keep those who read outside. ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he stared thoughtfully at the people reading outside.

Wang Tiansheng said in a low voice: "Kou Gong Ministry, among those scholars, some people want to mix a mouthful of food, and some people want to use those dolls to mix some educational skills and a good reputation." ”

Wang Tiansheng's words broke the minds of those scholars who were circling outside.

Kou Ji also guessed the thoughts of those readers, he thought about it for a while, and said, "No matter what they have, it is not harmful to the children.

Among them, there are many students who come to catch the exam, and there is no lack of advanced knowledge, and there are many students who teach the children, and the children learn a lot.

Far better than those half-bucket of water.

Since they are willing to contribute to the children, you will accept them.

When accepting people, be sure to find out where they come from to avoid some ill-intentioned people from getting mixed in. ”

When Chen Jing heard this, he frowned.

He doesn't like those who come to mix up their reputations, and he always feels that those people are not pure-minded and have a bad temperament, and they will inevitably teach bad children.

Wang Tiansheng was overjoyed.

He is a reader, and he has seen far more than Chen Jing.

He knows that those scholars who come to mix their reputations are not simple, but among those scholars, there are many highly educated and advanced scholars, and they will definitely be able to embark on a career in the future.

After those scholars embark on their official careers, they will definitely take care of the children who go out here.

If there are one or two children who are promising, maybe they can take advantage of this to flourish.

The rest of the village elders and clan elders have their own thoughts.

But Koji had already decided, and they couldn't say anything more.

Kou Ji asked Wang Tiansheng to collect those people, and select some scholars among them to be husbands for the children.

He himself left Ruishengzhuang and returned to Bianjing.

After returning to Bianjing.

Seeing that Su Chan'er was still waiting at the gate of the mansion, he muttered quietly and entered the mansion through the back door.

It didn't take long to rest in the house.

Kou Zhong came to report that Liu Heng had come to visit.

Kou Ji hurriedly asked Kou Zhong to take the person to the side hall.

After Kou Ji arrived at the side hall, he saw Liu Heng slumped on a chair like a dead fish.

Seeing that Liu Heng didn't add any new injuries to his face, Kou Ji asked with a smile, "What did you do to other people's Gu Niang?" ”

Liu Heng grinned and sat up, sighed, and said with a bitter face: "I didn't do anything...... The mad girl haunted me and made me marry her. ”

Kou Ji sat down with a smile and asked the maid in charge to serve tea.

After the tea was served, Kou Ji drank tea and said with a smile: "You didn't do anything? Will the ancient lady chase after you? ”

Liu Heng picked up the tea bowl in front of him, took a sip, and said seriously: "I really didn't do anything...... Three days ago, the crazy girl came to me and said that I had beaten her before and that she was trying to get back on the field.

I had a fight with her, and when I was tired, I found a place and drank some wine.

Then they got drunk together, and when they woke up, the crazy girl chased after me, saying that I had stayed with her all night and had to marry her. ”

After listening to Liu Heng's story, Kou Ji held back a smile and asked, "With your martial arts, you can defeat her in three or two strokes, how can you be tired?" ”

Liu Heng said dryly: "This time is different from the past, she is an envoy of Qingtang, if I hurt her, it will be difficult to explain to the court." ”

Kou Ji raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Why do I think, you see other girls become better-looking, so you can't bear to do it?" ”

Liu Heng said: "There is nothing to ...... done"

Kou Ji stared at Liu Heng with a smile and did not speak.

What hurt the Qingtang envoy, it's not good to explain to the court, it's pure.

If Liu Heng really cared about this, he would not have accompanied him to provoke the envoys of the Liao State at the beginning.

Under Kou Ji's gaze, Liu Heng said weakly: "She has become a little better-looking, but what does this have to do with me?" She was a vassal girl, and my father would never allow me to marry a vassal girl. ”

Kou Ji smiled: "Who can say for sure about such a thing as feelings...... At that time, Taizong also did not allow the first emperor and the queen mother to be together, and in the end? ”

When Liu Heng heard this, he became more and more empty.

Kou Ji smiled and asked, "You are tired of fighting with other girls, after drinking, did you do anything to others?" ”

Liu Heng said decisively: "No! ”

Kou Ji sneered: "Didn't do anything, the girls will chase you and shout and kill?" ”

Liu Heng hesitated for a while, and said weakly: "Actually...... Actually, I don't know what I did when I got drunk...... Don't look at her petite figure, but she is very heroic when she drinks, and she drinks a lot.

I drank with her from late afternoon to midnight, and when she was slightly drunk, I was already in a daze.

After drinking too much, I don't remember what I did. ”

Hearing this, Kou Ji nodded and said, "In other words, whether you did something to her, or did she do something to you, it's hard to say now?" ”

Liu Heng nodded subconsciously, and seeing Kou Ji with an inexplicable smile on his face, he hurriedly shook his head and said, "We really didn't do anything!" ”

Kou Ji put away the smile on his face, leaned back in the chair, and said, "Since you didn't do anything, then I'll talk to her brother and tell her not to pester you?" ”

Liu Heng hurriedly got up and arched his hand: "Then there is Fourth Brother Lao." ”

Kou Ji smiled and nodded, "It's getting late, so you can rest in my mansion for one night." I'll send a message to An Ziluo and ask him to restrain his sister. ”

Liu Heng nodded.

Kou Ji instructed the steward of the mansion to arrange a room for Liu Heng to rest.

He returned to the study, wrote a letter, and asked people to take it and send it to the post station where the Qingtang people lived.

Nothing was said all night.

Following.

Early morning.

After Liu Heng got up, he found Kou Ji, said goodbye to Kou Ji, and prepared to leave.

Koji sent him to the gate of the mansion.

Su Chan'er, who had been guarding in front of the gate of Kou Mansion for a day and a night, hurriedly rushed forward.

"Kou Gongzi, a few days ago, the little woman didn't choose to say anything in Kou's mansion, which angered Gongzi, and I came to apologize to Gongzi."

When Liu Heng saw Su Chan'er, his expression was a little complicated, he snorted coldly, and left the Kou Mansion with his sleeves flicked.

Kou Ji didn't send it off again, but stared at Su Chan'er outside the mansion, and said lightly: "You go back." I know very well what the people behind you are trying to do. Since I didn't reply to him, it means that I won't agree to make a deal with him.

Even if you stay here until you die, it won't do anything. ”

Dropping the words, Koji prepared to turn and leave.

Su Chan'er took another step forward and hurriedly said, "Gongzi Kou, can you give the little girl a chance and let the little girl say a few words to you." ”

Kou Ji shook his head, put his hands behind his back, and entered the mansion.

No matter how Su Chan'er shouted, he didn't care.

Su Chan'er was condescending to him, all because of Zhao Yuanyan's order.

She has completely become a tool in Zhao Yuanyan's hands, and she has long lost the agility that Kou Ji had when he first saw her.

Koji didn't bother to talk to a tool.
