"No...... To be precise, it is a new material for forging armor......"

Kou Ji said with a smile.

Zhu Neng smiled: "I know...... You kid don't want to suffer at all, how can you do such a thing that harms yourself and others? ”

Kou Ji stared at Zhu Neng and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhu family...... You just said help me......"

"Gotta help!"

Zhu Neng patted his chest and shouted, lowered his voice again, leaned over to Kou Ji's side, and said in a low voice: "I'll go back to the barracks outside the city and give some guidance to those little cubs of the Tiger Army."

I will secretly send hundreds of elite soldiers to you and let them disguise themselves as soldiers of the Tiger Army.

Even if you can't win, you won't lose too badly. ”

Kou Ji raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhu Neng, and said embarrassedly: "Uncle Zhu, this is a little unpleasant, right?" The Tiger Army is going to fight for the reputation of the Dragon God Second Guard, and you are the commander of the Dragon God Second Guard. ”

Zhu Neng said nonchalantly: "What is this?" I have long wanted to take the second guard of the dragon god out to hone it, but I have never been able to find the opportunity, and now that I have the opportunity, how can I miss it.

As long as you can pull the second guard of the dragon god out to fight, hone it, and lose a little face, it's nothing.

Besides, we and other military ministers, all of our faces are fought for from the battlefield.

Between the fights, losing some words is nothing. ”

Kou Ji saluted Zhu Neng, "Then the little nephew thanked Uncle Zhu first." ”

Zhu Neng laughed and said, "My own family, there is no need to say those polite words. ”

Kou Ji nodded and smiled: "What Uncle Zhu said is reasonable. ”

Zhu Neng's smile became brighter, and he said again: "By the way, I know that you kid is greedy, and you have recently made some good things, do you want to go to my house to try them?" ”

Hearing this, Kou Ji licked the corners of his mouth, and asked with a low laugh: "Big worm, or is it a blind bear?" ”

Zhu Neng said magnificently: "Big insects, bears and blind people, those are ordinary things." If you like to eat, just send someone to the house to pick it up when you turn around. This time I got something different. ”

Zhu Neng looked at Kou Ji and laughed in a low voice, "Have you heard of the Ancient Iron Eating Beast?" It is said to be the mount of the ancient demon god Chiyou. ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he had some bad premonitions in his heart, but he couldn't control the gluttony in his stomach, and under the temptation of Zhu Neng, he followed him to Zhu's mansion.

After arriving at Zhufu.

Zhu Neng took him to see the legendary ancient iron-eating beast, the mount of the ancient demon god Chiyou.

After Kou Ji saw the beast in the cage, the corners of his mouth twitched: "This...... Iron Eater, the mount of the Demon God? ”

"Aang!"

Zhu Neng responded as a matter of course.

Then, he pointed to the beast in the cage and said with a big grin: "This thing has been transported to the mansion for many days." It's just that the cook in the house doesn't know how to cut the knife, so he keeps it closed.

Now I have been thinking about it for a few days, and I have barely figured out some doorways.

Please come over today, just slaughtered it and drank it. ”

Koji stared at the caged beast with a strange expression.

The chubby, round, black and white, cute look, Kou Ji is very familiar.

What is the Ancient Iron Eater, the mount of the Ancient Demon God Chiyou, Kou Ji doesn't know.

Kou Ji only knew that this beast lived by selling cuteness and hugging his thighs on weekdays.

'I really want to raise ......'

'Eat it......'

'This is a national treasure......

'In the Great Song Dynasty, you are the national treasure, it is not, it is food......

'I can't put my mouth shut......

'You don't want it to smell all the time?' ’

The two villains fought frantically in Kou Ji's heart.

Kou Ji stared at the big black and white guy in the cage, hesitated for a long time, and said in a low voice, "Why don't you ...... Cut a leg and try it? ”

Kou Ji's whisper was heard by Zhu Neng, and Zhu Neng said in a daze: "Virtuous nephew, what do you want to cut a leg to taste?" Are you going to eat it raw? ”

Without waiting for Kou Ji to speak, Zhu Neng's eyes fell on the cage, groped for the beard on his chin, and muttered: "It should be good to eat it raw, cut it into slices and dip it in some fragrant ......"

Zhu Neng retracted his gaze and laughed at Kou Ji: "Virtuous nephew, you still eat ...... Why didn't I think of making it? ”

"Someone!"

"Get this thing down, cut one leg, make a belly, and stew the rest."

“……”

Zhu Neng commanded loudly.

Eventually.

The big guy in the cage still hasn't been stewed.

Kou Ji asked Zhu Neng to ask for it.

The moment the cage was opened, a small figure crawled out from under the big guy.

It wasn't until this moment that Zhu Neng and Kou Ji discovered that there were two beasts in the cage.

The big one seems to be afraid of the small one being hurt, so he takes shelter under him.

In an instant, Zhu Neng also lost his desire to eat it.

Zhu Neng has eaten countless beasts in his life, but when he sees the love of licking calves in beasts, he will always be soft-hearted.

The people who captured the two beasts, one large and one small, should have tortured them a lot.

So when they see people, they always have some fear.

As soon as the big one opened the cage, he yelled at Zhu Neng and the others in horror.

The guards of the Zhu Mansion almost killed him on the spot.

The smaller ones are hiding everywhere for fear of being caught.

Until Kou Ji scourged the bamboo forest of Zhufu and got some bamboo for the little one to eat.

Xiao's emotions stabilized, and then he hugged Kou Ji's thighs, refusing to let go.

Kou Ji let it be held, accompanied Zhu Neng to eat a stewed bear paw on the Zhu Mansion, and then returned to the Kou Mansion with two beasts, one big and one small.

A few days after that.

Koji helped the two beasts in the mansion to find a place to live.

The smaller one, a bit clingy.

It seems to know that Kou Ji will not hurt it, and will give it good food, so he has to hold Kou Ji everywhere he goes.

Fortunately, Xiang Yan also likes the little guy a little.

Otherwise, it may be sent to the table in the name of competing for favor.

Zhu Neng fulfilled his promise, not only secretly went out of the city to guide the Tiger Army after going on a business trip every day, but also arranged some people behind his back to quietly join the Tiger Army.

In a flash, it was the eighth day of the first month.

All ministries, departments and departments have their own offices, and they are officially opened.

Kou Ji forcibly dragged the sticky little guy off his lap, put on his court clothes, and rushed to the palace to go to the court.

The rumors of the martial artists taking a walk have already had some heat.

Today, in the court, the martial artists will inevitably be in trouble.

Naturally, Koji can't miss it.

Arrived at the palace.

Hanging arch on the temple.

After Chen Lin proclaimed the dynasty.

The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs bowed down and respectfully invited Zhao Zhen and Kou Zhun to sit down.

Then, under the auspices of Kou Zhun, arrange a year's government affairs.

1. After the completion of government affairs arrangements.

Gao Chugong tidied up his clothes, hugged Chao Wat out of class, and played: "Qiqi official, the minister has the book to play." ”

Zhao Zhen sat on the dragon chair and said lightly: "Speak!" ”

Gao Di said respectfully: "Qiqi official family, the Son of Heaven's pro-army entered Bianjing on Chinese New Year's Eve, causing panic among the people of Bianjing. After being appeased by the imperial court, the people knew that it was a strong pawn of the imperial court.

Today, the people of Bianjing City praise the Son of Heaven for his own army.

It is said that the Son of Heaven is pro-army, better than all the soldiers and horses of my Great Song Dynasty.

When the soldiers of the forbidden army heard this, they were a little fluctuating.

Now there are several forbidden army soldiers who want to compete with the Son of Heaven in the military academy. ”

At this point, Gao Zu Gong did not continue to speak.

But when his voice landed, a military minister stood up and said in a loud voice: "The minister asks the official family to allow the Son of Heaven to teach the soldiers of the army and the forbidden army to calm the hearts of the army." ”

Subsequently, other military ministers also stood up and asked the Son of Heaven to teach the pro-army and the forbidden army.

The most exaggerated is Zhu Neng.

Although Zhu Nengren couldn't go to court, the book was handed to Zhao Zhen a few days ago.

Zhu Nengyan said that the Son of Heaven pro-army Tiger Character Army, famous in Bianjing City, made the hearts of the soldiers of the Dragon God Second Guard Forbidden Army float, and they clamored to compete with the Tiger Character Army.

He told Zhao Zhen in cryptic words.

If Zhao Zhen does not agree to a duel between the Tiger Character Army of the Son of Heaven and the soldiers of the Dragon God Second Guard Forbidden Army, I am afraid that the soldiers of the Dragon God Second Guard Forbidden Army will be depressed and will have a camp roar.

Zhao Zhen and Kou Zhun naturally didn't believe Zhu Neng's.

But the attitude expressed by Zhu Neng on behalf of the Dragon God Erwei cannot be ignored.

As Zhu Neng said.

After the ministers saw the military ministers collectively asking the soldiers of the Tiger Army and the Forbidden Army to fight each other, they also got involved.

Wang Qinruo, Li Zheng and others came out one after another, and asked the soldiers of the Tiger Army and the Forbidden Army to teach them to be superior.

Zhao Zhen's brows furrowed.

He is not stupid, how can he not see the deep meaning behind the court's civil and military ministers inviting the Tiger Army and the soldiers of the Forbidden Army to teach the superior?

Obviously, this is to step the tiger army into the mud with one shot.

Zhao Zhen has high hopes for the Tiger Army, and he also expects the Tiger Army to be dominant on the battlefield in the future and help him grow his face.

Zhao Zhen subconsciously looked at Kou Ji.

Kou Ji came out of class with a solemn expression, gritted his teeth and said: "Official, since the forbidden army wants to be superior to my Tiger Army, then my Tiger Army will definitely not refuse." My Tiger Army can lose, but it will never be timid! ”

Kou Ji's demeanor was as if he had been wronged a lot.

However, when Zhao Zhen heard his words, he was stunned.

Zhao Zhen couldn't help but think......

Is this to trap people?

If Kou Ji was unwilling to let the Tiger Army and the soldiers of the Forbidden Army teach him, he would never agree to this.

Through Kou Ji's words, Zhao Zhen guessed Kou Ji's thoughts.

Suddenly, his frowning brows stretched slightly, and he turned sideways to ask Kou Zhun, "What does the Grand Master think?" ”

Kou Zhun knew Kou Ji's plan, so it was impossible to stop him, and when facing Zhao Zhen's question, Kou Zhun said lightly: "Then let's compare with each other...... It just so happens that the envoys of various countries have not yet returned, and they can also see the benefits of our Great Song Dynasty's armor.

Shock the crowd and let them know how to fear my Great Song. ”

Kou Zhun said a word, and the matter was settled.

After the dispersal of the dynasty.

The warriors swept past Kou Ji with mocking glances and went straight out of the Vertical Arch Hall.

Kou Ji stared at them with an ugly face.

It wasn't until the warriors dispersed that a smile appeared on their faces.

"Kou Gong Ministry, the official family invites you to wait in the side hall."

Chen Lin unconsciously appeared beside Kou Ji and said something suspiciously.

Kou Ji flicked his sleeves and said indifferently: "Lead the way in front of the head......"

Chen Lin glared at Kou Ji and led him to the side hall.

In the side hall.

Ambergris is burning, and green smoke curls up.

The whole side hall is full of a faint fragrance.

After Kou Ji entered the palace, Zhao Zhen hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Are you planning something again?" ”

Kou Ji arched his hand and said with a smile: "Naturally, it is to help the Tiger Character Army become famous, and by the way, to help our wrought iron workshop become famous." ”

Zhao Zhen dragged Kou Ji to the hall and sat down, and said a little anxiously: "Tell me quickly......"

After Kou Ji sat down, he explained his plan to Zhao Zhen in detail.

After Zhao Zhen listened, he said with a surprised face: "According to what you said, can our tiger army win?" ”

Kou Ji nodded and smiled: "Even if you can't win, you won't lose." ”

Zhao Zhen's face was a little strange and said: "Zhu Neng's approach, isn't it a bit ......?"

Zhao Zhen wanted to say that Zhu Neng's approach was a bit shameless.

But Zhu Neng is obviously helping him and helping Kou Ji, how can he scold others for being shameless.

Kou Ji said with a smile: "This just shows that Zhu Neng is loyal to the official family. ”

Zhao Zhen nodded with a deep groan.

Zhu Neng's approach was a bit shameless.

But once it's done, it's a triple win.

not only helped Zhao Zhen keep the Tiger Army, but also helped the wrought iron workshop become famous.

What's more, you can also pull the dragon god second guard, which has been eroded to the point of unsightly, and go out to practice.

In this way, the two guards of the dragon god can recover a few percent of their combat effectiveness.

It will not continue to erosify and become a big moth in the imperial court.

Zhao Zhen pondered for a long time, and said to Kou Ji: "A loyal minister like Zhu Aiqing will definitely be reused in the future." ”

Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said, "You should tell General Zhu yourself, what's the use of you telling me?" ”

Zhao Zhen smiled: "That's right...... If Zhu Aiqing can take the Dragon God Second Guard out to hone and win a few battles, I will definitely praise him. ”

After laughing, Zhao Zhen said to Kou Ji again: "By the way, when did I have another wrought iron workshop under my name?" ”

Kou Ji stared at Zhao Zhen and asked, "The new iron researched by the wrought iron workshop is better than iron, but the price is lower than iron. The forged iron can help the armament of the Great Song Dynasty to a higher level, and it can also help the officials to squeeze to death those corrupt officials and profiteers who make profits from the iron material.

More importantly, it can help officials earn a lot of money and enrich the national treasury and inner treasury.

Don't the officials like it? ”

Zhao Zhen was slightly stunned, and said unexpectedly: "There are so many benefits......

Kou Ji smiled indifferently: "The wrought iron workshop is not allowed to be snooped on, but the official family is the big owner of the wrought iron workshop, if you want to know the movements inside, you can naturally send someone to investigate."

Whether it is really as the minister said, you will know at a glance. ”

Zhao Zhen nodded and smiled: "If that's the case, then I naturally like it." ”

Kou Ji nodded, accompanied Zhao Zhen to chat about some interesting things outside the palace during the Chinese New Year, and left the palace.

After Kou Ji left.

Chen Lin took small steps, walked in front of Zhao Zhen, and said in a low voice: "Official, since Kou Ji willingly gave you the largest part of the wrought iron workshop, I am afraid that the wrought iron workshop is not less important than Jiaozipu."

How much is at stake in Jiaozipu, I believe the official family knows it.

After a few months of saving, it is already close to half of the tax burden of the Great Song Dynasty.

Saving money will only increase in the future.

In time, it will inevitably become an important part of the court.

I'm afraid the same is true for the wrought iron workshop......"

Zhao Zhen put away his smiling face, stared at Chen Lin, and sighed: "Chen Lin...... Are you reminding me to guard against Kou Ji? ”

Chen Lin nodded without hesitation.

It wasn't the first time he had reminded Zhao Zhen to guard against Kou Ji.

So there is no need to hide it.

Even if Kou Ji was here, he dared to let Zhao Zhen guard against Kou Ji in front of Kou Ji.
