After Lu Yijian and the three of them told Kou Ji, they left the Great Xiangguo Temple.

The money piled up in the temple of Daxiangguo is certainly attractive, but the place has already been decided, Kou Ji does not let go now, and it is impossible for Lu Yijian and the three of them to rob it.

Before Zhao Zhen ascended the throne, if the three of them encountered such an astonishing amount of money, they might not leave, and they would have to get a piece of the pie.

But after Zhao Zhen ascended the throne, he made great efforts to govern the country, and the government and the opposition worked together to promote the Great Song Dynasty in the direction of prosperity.

With the continuous rise of the Great Song Dynasty, the money in the treasury also continued to increase.

In the past, the treasury was empty and could run mice, but now the treasury is full of warehouses, and there are 10,000 copper coins.

Among such an astonishing amount of money, part of it was tax silver, part of it was the income from the operation of salt and iron, some part was the income from seizures, and some part was the income from the sales of grain, cattle, sheep and horses produced by prisoners, prisoners, military managers and civilians in Hexi, Xingqing and other places, and a small part was the income from the tribute paid by the vassals.

If the imperial court wants to accumulate wealth, the means available to it is to open up sources and reduce expenditure.

In terms of throttling, the Great Song Dynasty has done a very good job in recent years, ninety percent of the emperor's relatives and sixty percent of the martial arts have been cleared, and a large area of land and real estate has been cleaned up, and after the land and real estate are sold, the harvest of money is as much as 10 million yuan.

In addition, after the titles and official positions of the emperor's relatives and martial arts were deposed, they also saved a lot of money, rice, and cloth for the imperial court.

The titles and official positions of the emperor's relatives and martial arts are almost all high, and there are many people in the family who have titles and official positions.

Therefore, after they were deposed and cleaned up, the money they saved was also a huge amount.

In addition to the emperor's relatives and relatives, there were also a large number of officials, soldiers and horses, and idle yamen, which were abolished, and also saved a lot of money for the imperial court.

Today's Great Song Dynasty no longer has the phenomenon of bloated officials.

In today's Great Song Dynasty, the officials are not only not bloated, but even a little insufficient.

As a result, some newly acquired localities have no officials to appoint, so they can only temporarily exercise military control.

The Great Song Dynasty has now achieved the extreme of throttling to the extreme of the feudal dynasty.

I don't dare to say it in the future, counting forward, all dynasties and dynasties are no longer as good as the Great Song Dynasty in terms of throttling.

In terms of open source, the Great Song Dynasty has done better in recent years, the grain, cattle and sheep in Hexi, the grain, cattle and sheep in Xingqing, the war dividends obtained from the conquest of the Quartet, the rapid development of commerce and handicrafts driven by the word Jiaozipu, and the agriculture with the help of agricultural tools promoted by the Ministry of Industry and steel forging workshops have brought huge income to the Great Song Dynasty.

In addition, after the Great Song Dynasty canceled the generous gifts to the vassals, not only did they no longer have to give rich gifts to the vassals, but they would also make a lot of money from the tributes sent by the vassals.

This is not counting the original sea trade of the Great Song Dynasty, as well as the income from the salt and iron government, as well as the high taxes that are charged into the treasury every year.

In terms of expenditure, the most money spent by the imperial court in recent years is the replacement of armaments, the construction of official roads, and the promotion of Mongolian studies.

The money for the replacement of armaments was obtained by the black-hearted Kou Ji by trading in the old for the new.

Kou Ji sold the old armaments of the Great Song Dynasty at a high price through some means, and the money obtained was not only satisfied with the replacement of armaments, but also a lot of surpluses.

The money used to promote Mongolian learning was scavenged from outside the territory by the soldiers in front through their hard work.

Among the money looted by the soldiers at the front, cattle, sheep and horses, minerals, timber, and fur were returned to the imperial court.

Copper coins, as well as gold and silver circulating in the market, were used to promote Mongolian learning.

Jewels and jade, and the like, belong to them, and that's the dividends of their wars.

The imperial court would give them money according to the value of the jewels.

Therefore, in the two major projects of replacing armaments and promoting Mongolian studies, not only did they not spend money, but they also had to make money.

The only place where the imperial court spends money is to build official roads.

However, the official roads in most places of the imperial court have already been built, and in recent years, the official roads in Hexi and Xingqing and other places need to be built.

To build official roads in Hexi and Xingqing, the imperial court only needed to pay a part of the material money and food expenses.

Those who build official roads are either captives and prisoners, or the army is in charge of the people.

All of them were undergoing labor reform by the imperial court.

Labor reform is a very glorious thing, and it cannot be measured by money.

Those who perform well will be rewarded with the Great Song Book Book.

For them, can money have the fragrance of the Great Song Dynasty?

There is a book of the Great Song Dynasty, in Hexi and Xingqing and other places, in order to become a master, in order to live a nourishing and comfortable life.

It was under this situation of opening up sources and reducing expenditure, as well as under the control of Lu Yijian's three people who picked and searched that the Great Song Dynasty court accumulated 10,000,000 copper coins in just a few years.

It stands to reason that the Great Song Dynasty has stored so much money, and Lu Yijian and the three of them should not be worried about the money that Kou Ji confiscated from the Great Xiangguo Temple.

But after they learned that Kou Ji had confiscated a huge amount of money in Daxiangguo Temple, they still rushed over and remembered the money.

The reason why they are like this is because they are not willing to use the ten thousand dollars in the treasury to save money easily.

They wanted to keep the money and ask Yan Yun for it.

Yan Yun is the devil in their hearts, and it is also the devil in the hearts of the Song people.

When Da Song was weak, they could only think about it.

The Great Song Dynasty is now strong, attacking cities and plundering land everywhere, and the soldiers are invincible.

In this case, they don't have to think about it anymore.

They must take action to help Da Song get Yanyun back.

Only by taking down Yanyun can the Great Song Dynasty be ashamed.

Only by taking Yanyun can the Great Song Dynasty be regarded as a complete and powerful state of the Celestial Empire.

Only by taking back Yanyun can they live up to the officials and the people.

For this, they can pay anything.

Kou Ji knew what they were trying to do to guard the money in the treasury.

Because Zhao Zhen has the same mind as them.

They guarded the treasury, and Zhao Zhen guarded the one-word Jiaozi shop and his own small treasury.

Zhao Zhen's small vault has been expanded six times, and the money inside has already piled up.

In addition to taking out a part of the promotion of Mengxue, the rest of the money was not abused.

He guarded the money and saved the money, also for Yan Yun.

They felt that as long as they had enough money, even if they used money to smash it, they could smash it back to the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

Koji understands their thoughts, but disapproves of their actions.

But Koji didn't admonish them for that.

Because Kou Ji found that they were guarding the money and refused to use it, the Great Song Dynasty not only did not fall into the predicament of having no money available, but constantly forced the various ministries and yamen of the Great Song Dynasty to continue to open source.

For example, in the Ministry of Industry, in the past, after the construction of the project designated by the imperial court, it fell into a state of salted fish.

Today's Ministry of Industry, in his spare time, actually began to work.

At the beginning of the year, Kou Zhun cut the Wenchang Academy again.

On the basis of Wenchang Mengxue and Wenchang Academy, another Wenchang School was cut.

Wenchang Mengxue is equivalent to a primary school, Wenchang is equivalent to a collection of junior and senior high schools, and Wenchang School is equivalent to a university.

After Wenchangxue was cut out, Kou Zhun chose another piece of land to build a school building for Wenchangxue.

The Ministry of Engineering unceremoniously took over the project.

Unofficial in nature.

Although the other yamen did not have the convenience of the Ministry of Industry, they could not engage in business.

But they also more or less came up with some ways to help the imperial court open source.

All in all, everything in the Great Song Dynasty is thriving, but some tumors still exist.

After Kou Ji sent Lu Yijian and the three of them away, he didn't have to wait long, and the people from Kaifeng Mansion hurried to the Great Xiangguo Temple.

The magistrate and judge of Kaifeng Prefecture each held a stack of files in their hands.

"I've seen the Kou Privy ......"

Kou Ji looked at the two of them holding a pile of copywriting, bowed down to salute himself, and said nonchalantly: "You are an official, and you don't have an entourage or anything like that?" Pretend to be in front of me?

I'm not a subordinate of the same Zhongshu, and I'm no longer a secretary of the ministry, so I can't promote you. ”

When the magistrates and judges of Kaifeng Mansion heard this, they still smiled brightly.

They did have the heart to show it in front of Koji.

Although everyone lives in Bianjing City on weekdays, with their official positions and identities, the chances of seeing Kou Ji are minimal.

Kou Ji had something to order, and directly sent someone to the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture to pass the word, and he would not talk to them at all.

Now that they have been criticized by Koji, they don't care.

As far as they are concerned, they are not afraid that Koji will criticize them, but they are afraid that Koji will not remember them.

As for the two sentences that Kou Ji criticized them today, they can take it out and tell people that they have been mentioned by Kou Ji.

Kou Ji wouldn't bother with them for such a trivial matter.

Seeing that the two of them were just giggling and not speaking, Kou Ji opened his mouth and asked, "What are you holding in your hand?" ”

The judge of Kaifeng Mansion hurriedly said: "Hui Kou Shumi, they are all monks of Daxiangguo Temple, and in recent years, they have collected debts and hurt people. ”

Kou Ji was slightly stunned, "How long have you been checking?" ”

Kou Ji had just instructed the people of Kaifeng Mansion to check whether Daxiangguo Temple had done anything wrong when he had released Yinzi money in recent years, and the magistrates and judges of Kaifeng Mansion came over with a bunch of files.

Obviously, Kaifeng Mansion has long investigated the evil things that the monks of Daxiangguo Temple did when they put the money in Yinzi, and they have some evidence.

"Back to the Kou Privy, since the Great Xiangguo Temple began to put Yinzi money, as long as you do evil things, Kaifeng Mansion has a record."

The official of Kaifeng Mansion said with a smile.

Kou Ji nodded slowly.

None of the people who put in the money are good.

After all, most of the acts of putting money in printing are illegal.

How many good people can there be for people who dare to break the law?

Therefore, when you put in the money, when you force debts, you will definitely do evil.

Daxiangguo Temple has been putting Yinzi money for many years, if there is no evil, it will be a strange thing.

"Now that you have control of the evidence of the evil deeds of the Great Xiangguo Temple, why don't you report it to the imperial court in the morning?"

Kou Ji asked.

A wry smile appeared on the face of the judge of Kaifeng Mansion, "Kou Shumi, the Great Xiangguo Temple is a national temple, protected by the will of Emperor Taizong, who dares to embarrass them." In addition, there are many pilgrims in Daxiangguo Temple, and there are many of them who are either rich or expensive.

Some of the ladies in the palace are also pilgrims of Daxiangguo Temple.

Even if Xia Guan and the others held the evidence of the evil of the Great Xiangguo Temple in their hands, they did not dare to say it.

If you hadn't raided the Great Xiangguo Temple this time, I'm afraid these things would have to accumulate from generation to generation. ”

Kou Ji's face turned slightly cold, and he scolded: "When I go back, I must join the Kaifeng Governor's Mansion." The officials who preside over justice are actually afraid of a group of villains?!

Even if he has a big backer, it is not as big as the law of the country. ”

The judge of Kaifeng Mansion and the magistrate of Kaifeng Mansion glanced at each other and smiled bitterly.

They felt that Kou Ji was obviously standing and talking without backache.

There are a lot of noble female pilgrims in Daxiangguo Temple, and the pillow wind of those female pilgrims, the three of the inner court may not be able to stand it, not to mention the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture.

In today's Great Song Dynasty, only Kou Ji is not afraid of those pillow winds.

After Kou Ji finished speaking, he actually felt the same way as them.

But he said all the words of Ling Ran, so it was naturally impossible to take them back.

Kou Ji instructed the judges and magistrates of Kaifeng Prefecture: "Take your files, take your people, and go to me one by one." All the monks who have done evil things will be escorted back to Kaifeng Mansion and punished according to the law.

Anyone who has a murder or is involved in the sale of people in the market will be transferred to the criminal department. ”

"......"

The judge and magistrate of Kaifeng Mansion agreed and hurried to do it.

As soon as they took two steps, they heard Kou Ji's voice sound again, "They may not have done it themselves, they may have raised a group of green-skinned gangsters outside the Daxiangguo Temple." The evil done by those green-skinned gangsters is also counted on their heads. ”

The two agreed again, and went to the monks' pile with the dossier in their hands.

Koji waited quietly, waiting for them to discern the evil among the monks.

After some interrogation and interrogation, none of the monks in the Daxiangguo Temple were clean.

There are not many people who have great evils in their bodies, but there are countless small evils in their bodies.

What's more, they also deceive people under the pretense of opening a light to female pilgrims.

With a wave of his hand, Kou Ji asked the officials of Kaifeng Mansion to send them all to the cell.

Wait until the group of green-skinned gangsters raised by Daxiangguo Temple are arrested, and then let Kaifeng Mansion do the final liquidation with them.

Since the monks didn't do any great evil, the green-skinned gangsters they raised must have done a lot of evil things.

Homicides are indispensable.

The most likely thing to cause trouble is human life.

After the officials of Kaifeng Mansion escorted away the guilty monks, the monks of Daxiangguo Temple were reduced by ninety percent.

Most of the rest are some old monks, or monks who are not taken seriously in the temple, and some young children.

They are called monks, but they can live in the Great Xiangguo Temple like a handyman and a servant.

Kou Ji stared at them for a while, and his eyes fell on the old monk who was pretending to be merciful with his eyes closed.

"Old monk, this is what you call the pure place of Buddhism."

Koji said sarcastically.

The old monk folded his hands and stood there motionless, without speaking.

Kou Ji snorted coldly: "I think it's a place to hide filth and dirt. ”

The old monk still didn't speak, as if he had accepted his fate.

Kou Ji instructed the people behind him: "Send the old monk to the north to blow the cold wind, so that the old monk is sober and sober." By the way, tell Wang Kai to entertain the old monk well. ”

Kou Ji's voice landed, and two soldiers jumped out from behind Kou Ji and grabbed the old monk.

The old monk suddenly opened his eyes and shouted: "The poor monk is the host of the Great Xiangguo Temple sealed by the official family, who dares to touch the poor monk?" ”

Kou Ji sneered: "So far, do you still have the face to mention the official's family?" If the official family knew that he had sealed such a thing as you as the host of the Great Xiangguo Temple, they would not be angry with you. ”

"Take it down!"

The two soldiers rushed to the old monk's side and took down the old monk.

The old monk shouted: "The poor monk wants to see the official!" The poor monk wants to see the Queen Mother! ”

Kou Ji said disdainfully: "Old monk, you really live to the belly of a dog." ”

"Shut his mouth and take it down."

The two soldiers immediately blocked the old monk's mouth and left the Daxiangguo Temple with the old monk.

After the old monk was taken away, Kou Ji's eyes fell on Master Chen.

Kou Ji stared at Master Dust with a smile, "Master Chen, how does it feel to be taken advantage of?" ”

Master Lichen sighed with a complicated expression.

Master Lichen is a person of the Duan clan of Dali, the emperor of the Duan clan of Dali, who likes to abdicate and make way for Xian, and also likes to become a monk after abdicating and giving way to Xian.

Therefore, the Duan family of Dali is very friendly to Buddhism.

Although Master Lichen has been in and out of Buddhism, he has been influenced by several of his monks, and he has a good impression of Buddhism.

So after entering the Great Xiangguo Temple and learning that the Great Xiangguo Temple was in difficulty, he did not hesitate to come forward.

It was only when all kinds of evil things in Daxiangguo Temple were exposed that he found out that he was being used.

Now that he had lost face and was speechless, he could only sigh.

Seeing this, Kou Ji said to Master Chen: "After Master Chen, I will stay in Daxiangguo Temple to study Buddhism." Leave the world alone. ”

Hearing this, Master Lichen closed his eyes, pronounced a Buddha name, bowed slightly, and left the front of the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

After Master Chen's departure, Kou Ji's eyes fell on the remaining monks of Daxiangguo Temple.

Kou Ji's gaze swept around the monks of Daxiangguo Temple, and his gaze fell on an elderly monk.

"Law name?!"

Kou Ji stared at the elderly monk.

The monk performed a Buddhist salute and said, "The little monk understands." ”

Kou Ji asked, "What did you do in the Great Xiangguo Temple before?" ”

The monk replied, "Wipe the Buddha's case." ”

Kou Ji nodded slowly, "From then on, you will be the presiding officer of the Great Xiangguo Temple." ”

The monk was stunned, and the other monks were also stunned.

Just now, Kou Ji shouted and shouted to kill the monks of Daxiangguo Temple, and they were shocked when they heard it.

They originally thought that Kou Ji would punish them slightly, but they didn't expect that Kou Ji not only did not punish them, but also elected the new host of Daxiangguo Temple on the spot.

After the monk was stunned for a moment, he hesitated to Kou Ji and said: "The little monk and Buddha are shallow, and I am afraid it is difficult to be qualified for the position of the host of the Great Xiangguo Temple." ”

Kou Ji said without being salty: "Just be obedient......"

The monk glared slightly, and after two breaths, he took a deep breath and saluted Kou Ji, "Amitabha Buddha ......"

Although he didn't say it explicitly, he made a statement to Koji.

Seeing this, Kou Ji nodded with satisfaction and said, "After this incident, I am afraid that the Great Xiangguo Temple will decline a lot. Those monks who were taken away did many evils, and the court then punished them themselves.

If you don't report what you know, you will bear the consequences.

Subsequently, the gossip in Bianjing City, as well as the condemnation of the people in Bianjing City, you have to block it yourself, and the court will not stand up for you.

If you can survive, Daxiangguo Temple is still Daxiangguo Temple.

If you can't survive it, then the Great Xiangguo Temple will die.

Whether Daxiangguo Temple can survive or not depends on you.

After that, I will take all the goods in the Great Xiangguo Temple away, leaving you only some food, as well as firewood, rice, oil and salt.

In addition, I will leave some of the land for you to cultivate.

The term is five years.

After five years, the imperial court will take it back.

In the future, Daxiangguo Temple is no longer allowed to own land.

I believe that as long as you can survive, the sesame oil money offered by those pilgrims will be enough for you to live a lifetime. ”

When the monks heard this, they all looked at the elderly monk.

The elderly monk bowed to Kou Ji, and the monks hurriedly followed suit.

They had lived a hard life in the Great Xiangguo Temple before, and after the incident in the Great Xiangguo Temple, Kou Ji did not take them away, and gave them food for living and land to make a living, which was already very good.

They have nothing to disagree with, and they dare not have any dissatisfaction.

After the monks gave their respects, Kou Ji told the elderly monks, and then someone would go to the Daxiangguo Temple to register their names and distribute them to them.

The elderly monk agreed.

Koji didn't bother with them anymore.

Kou Ji ordered someone to count the belongings and food of the Great Xiangguo Temple, and then loaded them together and pulled them out of the Great Xiangguo Temple.

The periphery of Daxiangguo Temple is full of people.

After they saw the huge amount of money in Daxiangguo Temple, they were speechless one by one.

What kind of virtue is Daxiangguo Temple, there is no need for Kou Ji to tell them anymore, they can intuitively see the virtue of Daxiangguo Temple from the money.

Kou Ji ordered people to take money and food around the city of Bianjing.

After everyone in Bianjing City saw the wealth of the Great Xiangguo Temple, the money was transported to the treasury specially prepared by the imperial court for Mengxue.

The grain was delivered to the granary in Bianjing.

Subsequently, Kou Ji sent people to check the various industries and fields of the Great Xiangguo Temple.

After the people were sent out, Kou Ji took a carriage to Jinmingchi.

When Kou Ji arrived at Jinmingchi, Empress Dowager Li and Empress Cao had already been sent back to the palace by Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen stood alone on the dragon boat and enjoyed the scenery of Jinming Pond.

After Kou Ji got on the boat, before he could give a salute, Zhao Zhen turned around and said, "Fourth brother, I think I have managed the Great Song Dynasty very well...... But I didn't expect that after the money of Daxiangguo Temple was found out, I found out that my Great Song Dynasty was still full of holes. ”

Kou Ji withdrew his hand that was about to give a salute, and muttered: "The official family found that there are still many places that need to be governed in the Great Song Dynasty, so they are afraid? ”

Zhao Zhen shook his head slowly, "Why am I afraid? It's only now that I realize that the road under my feet is very long, and I don't know if I will be able to finish it in this life. ”

Kou Ji smiled and said with emotion: "This is a road with no end. We can't get to the end, and no one can get to the end.

When Taizu was in the dynasty, he set up many ancestral systems, which was good governance for the original Great Song Dynasty.

But for the current Great Song Dynasty, it is not applicable, and it will tie your hands and feet.

Why is this a problem?

It's because the Great Song Dynasty is changing.

The officials of the Great Song Dynasty are changing, the officials of the Great Song Dynasty are changing, the people of the Great Song Dynasty are changing, and everything is changing in the Great Song Dynasty.

Everything in the world is always changing, so in the constant change, there will always be many bad things.

So we can't handle it, and no one can handle it.

So there is no end to this road. ”
