After solving a matter of concern, Zhang Cheng relaxed a lot, and he said to Kou Ji: "Let me tell you about our business?" ”

Kou Ji wondered, "Got into a problem? ”

Zhang Cheng nodded and shook his head again.

Kou Ji was even more puzzled.

Zhang Cheng said: "According to your instructions, I bought a shop in the southeast, northwest, and northwest of Bianjing City, and hung the signboard of our Vientiane pawnshop. Five shops opened at the same time, and they became famous in Bianjing City.

With you and Brother Liu Heng to protect us, no one dares to trouble us.

In just one month, our Vientiane pawnshop has gained a firm foothold.

Today, there are five shops with thousands of dollars of income every month.

Didn't you say that you would build a big shop?

I've been working on this lately.

The place has been found and built.

But none of us know how to sell, so we haven't opened our doors yet. ”

Kou Ji was stunned, nodded slowly, and said: "This is a sell, it is easy to say, but it is difficult to say." I'll go back and write you a charter, you just follow the above, and when I have time in the future, I'll tell you about it, and you'll understand after a long time. ”

When Zhang Cheng heard this, he nodded and said, "Then you have to ...... as soon as possible."

After a pause, Zhang Cheng said again: "The name of the store has not been decided yet." ”

Kou Ji smiled: "Let's call it Vientiane Tower." ”

Zhang Cheng was stunned for a moment, and said in amazement: "It's called Vientiane again?" ”

Kou Ji was too lazy to explain the issue of brand effect to Zhang Cheng, he said too much, and he might not understand.

Kou Ji smiled and said, "It's so easy to use!" I'm too lazy to think of other names. ”

Zhang Cheng shook his head with a smile.

But he didn't refute Koji's words.

The matter of the name of the store is Wanxiang Building, so it is decided.

After all the big stones in his heart fell, Zhang Chengcai remembered to ask Kou Ji, "Why did you come here suddenly?" Is it for the sake of Ling Zun's debt? ”

Kou Ji shook his head and smiled: "It's just hiding from people......"

After laughing, Kou Ji said again: "My father spent thousands of pawn shops, how did you discuss it with Liu Heng?" ”

Zhang Cheng said frankly: "Brother Liu Heng said that Ling Zun will spend it if he spends it." In the past, when he had no money, he might have taken care of it, but now he makes a lot of money with you, and he doesn't care about those thousands. ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he smiled and said, "This is in line with Liu Heng's temperament...... However, you still have to remember clearly in the accounts, when you go back to distribute the profits, remember to set aside a part of my part and compensate it to Brother Liu Heng. ”

Zhang Cheng nodded slowly, "I understand......"

Kou Ji chatted with Zhang Cheng for a while, and taught Zhang Cheng the few business experiences in his mind.

The two chatted until late in the evening, and after eating a table of wine and food, they went to sleep separately.

Kou Ji is in the Vientiane pawn shop, with a bedroom.

It was specially left for him by Zhang Cheng, although Kou Ji didn't come often, but Zhang Cheng kept people cleaning carefully.

Kou Ji doesn't need to prepare anything, just use it.

Kou Ji stayed at the Vientiane pawnshop for two days.

On the third day.

Kou Zhun sent someone over to tell him that after Li Di had left Kou Mansion, he said goodbye to Zhang Cheng, Er Bao and others and returned to Kou Mansion.

On the way home.

Kou Ji found that the rumors he let Zhao Yuanyan spread have now become a hot topic.

From the dignitaries to the peddlers and pawns, they all got together to talk about it.

Obviously, Zhao Yuanyan has worked hard in this regard, and he doesn't know how much manpower and material resources he spent behind his back to make this rumor known all over the city.

Now, in Bianjing City, everyone is speculating who the rumored Zhenggong is.

Kou Ji even heard that someone secretly promised a bonus to find Zhenggong.

Kou Ji couldn't cry or laugh.

In comparison, the rumors that Liu Heng was responsible for spreading seemed a little pale.

After walking all the way, I only heard three or two people talking, saying that they had seen a strange scene in Fantai.

It is said that there is a master outside, on the day of Taibai Jingtian, he watched the stars at night, saw the six stars hanging upside down, and after secretly calculating, he vomited blood three liters in fright, and then tried to change his life against the sky, but was bombarded by thunder.

Rumors spread with noses and eyes.

And the people heard and believed it.

As if they knew some big secret, they secretly passed the rumor to the next person.

Although the rumors of the six-star hanging upside down did not directly refer to the six, it won't be long before the rumor that the six-star upside down is linked to the six-part will come out.

Rumors are fermenting as Kou Ji expected.

I believe that the results will be shown in the near future.

Kou Ji returned to the mansion in a happy mood, and after greeting Kou Zhun, he returned to his Sijun Garden.

Kou Zhun didn't chase after Kou Ji to get to the bottom of it, and asked him what he was planning behind his back.

Kou Ji didn't stay long in the Sijun Garden, and Kou Zhong hurriedly came to report that Fan Zhongyan had visited.

Kou Ji went to the side hall of Kou Mansion to meet it.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Fan Zhongyan take the initiative to greet him, and hurriedly said, "Brother Kou, I have been promoted." ”

Kou Ji walked into the side hall, and after sitting down, he asked the maid in the house to serve tea, and then smiled: "That's a good thing!" ”

Fan Zhongyan said with a bitter face: "If you are promoted to other yamen, it will naturally be a good thing." can be promoted to the sixth department...... It's hard to make a difference in the future. ”

Kou Ji picked up the teacup in an orderly manner, took a sip, and said with a smile: "You dislike that Liubu is a Qingshui Yamen?" ”

Fan Zhongyan said embarrassedly: "Everyone in Bianjing City knows everyone......

Kou Ji put down the teacup, stared at him and smiled: "So, you came to me to ask me, was it arranged by me that you were transferred to the sixth department?" ”

Fan Zhongyan nodded with an embarrassed expression.

He is not an official fan, and he is not looking for Kou Ji to ask for an official position, but to have a good official position.

He just wants to go to those yamen who can do things, even if the official position is not high.

He always thinks that he should do something for the people as an official, otherwise this official might as well be inappropriate.

Kou Ji looked at Fan Zhongyan's expression, nodded and smiled: "It was indeed I who arranged it." ”

Fan Zhongyan looked at Kou Ji with a stunned expression, "Why?" ”

After a pause, he gritted his teeth and said, "Is it because the lower official spoke before, collided with the judge, and angered the judge, and the judge punished the lower official like this?" ”

Kou Ji pointed at Fan Zhongyan and sighed: "You, you, you are just thinking blindly." You haven't figured out the doorway in officialdom yet, and you still need to experience. ”

Fan Zhongyan looked puzzled.

Kou Ji explained: "Things in officialdom are changing rapidly. It's far from being as simple as it seems. Transferring you to the sixth part naturally has a deep meaning. Although I can't tell you why I transferred you to the sixth part now. But I can assure you that if you go to the Sixth Division, you will certainly not be idle, let alone do nothing. ”

When Fan Zhongyan heard this, he hesitated for a moment and looked at Kou Ji.

Kou Ji knew that he still had doubts in his heart, and continued, "I also serve in the Sixth Division...... If the six departments were really the Qingshui Yamen and did nothing, I would run to the six departments? Could it be that I, the grandson of the prime minister, still can't plan a powerful official position in the court? ”

Fan Zhongyan was stunned for a moment, thought about it for a while, and felt that what Kou Ji said was reasonable.

Although he hadn't been in contact with Kou Ji for a long time, he could feel that Kou Ji was definitely not the kind of person who ate and waited for death.

"Good! I'm going to the six ......"

Fan Zhongyan believed Kou Ji's words and immediately expressed his position.

Kou Ji nodded, "Go back and prepare, go early to take office, and change later." ”

Fan Zhongyan nodded, arched his hand, and left the Kou Mansion.

Kou Ji did not rush back to Sijun Garden, but turned around and went to Kou Zhun's bedroom.

Kou Zhun has been much better recently, and when he has energy, he found a few books to read.

Kou Ji entered Kou Zhun's bedroom, arched his hand, leaned in front of Kou Zhun, and glanced at the book in front of Kou Zhun.

"Analects?"

Kou Ji asked.

Kou Zhun nodded, handed the book to Kou Ji casually, and asked, "How much can you understand?" ”

Kou Ji awkwardly pushed the book back to Kou Zhun, and said with a dry smile: "Less than a ......"

Kou Zhun glared at him and reprimanded, "If you don't learn, you can't ...... skills."

Kou Ji grinned and said, "There are not many people in the court who are knowledgeable. The half point that the grandson understands is enough to deal with them. ”

Kou Zhun raised his eyebrows and said angrily, "This is the reason why you don't learn and don't know how to do it?" ”

The smile on Kou Ji's face froze.

Kou Zhun snorted: "But what you said is right, there are not many people in the court who are knowledgeable. ”

After a pause, Kou Zhun sighed: "Those real scholars are not willing to enter the court as officials. Either hide in the deep mountains and old forests to study knowledge, or open a academy to educate children.

The official family has issued several edicts to recruit virtuous people to enter the court. None of them came out of the mountains.

Occasionally, one or two people who went out of the mountain also resigned after serving one or two terms as officials.

The old man didn't understand their approach before, and always felt that what they had learned could not be applied to what they had learned, and it was in vain to learn what they learned.

Now that I am free from the troubles of the government and politics, when I calm down and study, I understand their approach a little. ”

Koji raised an eyebrow, "Why did they do that?" ”

Kou Zhun glanced at Kou Ji and said, "The sea of learning is vast, and only after you go deep into it can you understand what true learning is." When you see the real knowledge, how can you have the heart to be an official? ”

Kou Zhun's words were in the clouds, and Kou Ji only understood half of them.

But he didn't delve into this issue, but said with a stunned face: "Grandfather, you won't have the idea of resigning and going into hiding, right?" ”

Kou Zhun casually threw the book on the table, rolled his eyes and said, "This is Li Di's idea, not the old man's idea." The old man studied in order to be an official, to serve the court, and to enrich and strengthen the Song Dynasty.

Compared with the entire Great Song Dynasty, the old man cares more about the entire Great Song Dynasty.

If the two have to throw the same, the old man will definitely abandon his knowledge. ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he smiled and said, "You are not pedantic......"

Kou Zhun said angrily: "Don't compare the old man with those native masters." ”

When the words landed, Kou Zhun looked at Kou Ji and pouted: "Say, what to do with the old man." ”

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, and asked with a smile: "How did grandfather guess that his grandson had something to look for you?" ”

Kou Zhun snorted coldly and said, "If it weren't for the old man's summons on weekdays, you would rarely even show your face." Now that I suddenly find the old man, there must be something to trouble the old man. ”

Kou Ji grinned, "Grandfather, you guessed ...... right"

Kou Zhun snorted: "Don't pat yourself on the back, you have something to say." ”

Kou Ji said bluntly: "Is there a way for my grandfather to let Wang Zeng move to the position of secretary of the Criminal Department?" ”

Kou Zhun was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said, "Do you want Wang Zeng to go to the Criminal Department to be a cold bench?" ”

Kou Ji said with a smile: "The criminal department may not be a cold bench. ”

Kou Zhun frowned, stared at Kou Ji in a daze, and asked, "Are you planning six?" ”

Kou Ji nodded without concealment.

Kou Zhun asked: "The six departments are in name only, what are you planning to do in the six departments?" ”

Kou Ji smiled: "Just find a way to make him famous." ”

Kou Zhun was silent when he heard this.

He thought about it for a long time, suddenly looked at Kou Ji, and asked, "That rumor that six stars are hanging upside down was also passed on by you?" ”

Koji nodded in acknowledgement.

Kou Zhun frowned and said, "Do you want to use Taibai Jingtian to help the six departments seize power?" ”

Without waiting for Kou Ji to admit it, Kou Zhun shook his head and said, "But if you do this, won't Liu E just take advantage of this to get out?" Didn't the rumor you spread before about Zhou Huaizheng and Liu E fall flat? ”

Kou Ji explained: "The fundamental purpose of these two rumors spread by my grandfather and grandson is to help the six tribes seize power. ”

Kou Zhun said suddenly: "Are you planning to use what Zhou Huaizheng is about to make to intimidate Liu E, make Liu E lose her square inch, and then use the rumors that the six stars are hanging upside down to let Liu E get out?"

If Liu E wants to get out, it is bound to make the celestial phenomena of Taibai Jingtian fulfill in Liubu. ”

Kou Ji nodded heavily.

Kou Zhun asked, "Then you plan to let the six ministries rob the power of that yamen?" Three divisions, three ya? ”

Kou Ji said: "Punishment Division? ”

Kou Zhun frowned and said, "Waitai? Although the outer platform controls all aspects of the political affairs of the imperial court, it is always too thin, far inferior to the three divisions and the three ya. ”

Kou Ji said with a smile: "Although the Criminal Division is thin, once the Sixth Department grabs the power of the Criminal Division and opens the door to fight for power, it will definitely not be satisfied with the status quo, and will inevitably compete with the Third Division and the Third Ya."

Most of the power controlled by Liu E comes from the Criminal Division, the Third Division, and the Three Ya.

Once the Sixth Ministry takes power, the Criminal Division will inevitably collapse.

At the same time, it can also contain the three divisions and the three ya.

The power in Liu E's hands will be further weakened. ”

Kou Zhun slowly opened his mouth wide, stunned on the spot.

He had never thought of such a plan.

His eyes have always been on Liu E and Ding Wei, and he is always trying to find a way to bring down these two people.

But he never lowered his head to look, and he never thought of using the people below to contain Liu E.

Seeing that Kou Zhun was stunned, Kou Ji continued: "There are many officials in the six ministries, and once they snatch the power of the Criminal Division, they will definitely become a new force in the court.

And they naturally stand on the opposite side of Liu E.

Naturally, it is impossible for Liu E to use it.

The officials of the six ministries have been in the DPRK for many years, and their relationships are intertwined.

It is also difficult for Liu E to eradicate them in one fell swoop.

With them to contain Liu E, even if Liu E wants to do something, she will be restrained.

As long as Liu E's hands and feet are tied, it will be much easier for us to deal with Liu E. ”

Kou Zhun said in disbelief: "Can it still be like this? ”

Kou Ji smiled and nodded, "Yes! And so it goes! ”

"The old man has never thought of it like this......"

Kou Zhun felt a storm in his heart.

He is also a person of the officialdom, and he only needs to make a little deduction from Kou Ji's words to deduce the feasibility of this method and the results that can be achieved after success.

"No wonder you stopped Li Di from leaving Beijing, it turned out that you wanted Li Di to be the head of the household?"
