"Movement...... Is it big? ”

As Zhao Zhen continued to grow, he gradually possessed the coercion that an emperor should have.

But even so, when facing Kou Zhun, he was still a little stunned.

Kou Zhun widened, and was about to open his mouth to question Zhao Zhen.

Not big, isn't it?

Seeing that Zhao Zhen was a little stunned.

Kou Zhun raised his eyebrows slightly, stroked his beard, and thought secretly.

Is the old man so scary?

Zhao Zhen showed a stunned look, and Kou Zhun couldn't continue to accuse Zhao Zhen, so he could only vent his anger on Kou Ji.

"It must be your kid's idea to pull the official family to tinker with this businessman's way!"

Kou Zhun pointed at Kou Ji and roared loudly.

When Kou Zhun was handling government affairs in the palace, he heard the announcement of the chamberlain in the capital hall, saying that a major event had happened outside the palace.

It is said that Kou Ji, an official of the Ministry of Management and Gou, opened a Jiaozi shop in Bianjing City, and transported nearly 10 million of them into Jiaozi Shop.

Hearing this news, Kou Zhun was shocked.

He was not surprised by the money, but realized that Kou Ji dared to blatantly transport so much money into Bianjing City, and there must be a reliance behind it.

Nearly 10 million yuan of money and wealth have been transported into Bianjing, and the civil and military nobles in Bianjing will inevitably be eyed.

And the only people who can suppress the civil and military nobles of the Manchu Dynasty are him and Zhao Zhen.

He is in the palace, so Zhao Zhen must be in Jiaozipu.

It was precisely because he speculated that Zhao Zhen was in Jiaozipu, so he rushed out in a hurry.

also made Wang Qinruo, Cao Wei and others see the signs and leave early.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and looked at Kou Ji with a sympathetic face.

Kou Ji lowered his head and let Kou Zhun vent the anger in his heart.

I was afraid that Kou Zhun would get sick because of this.

Kou Zhun didn't dare to be angry with Zhao Zhen, so he sent all the evil fire on him, and he could naturally see it.

So he thought that Kou Zhun was scolding Zhao Zhen, his left ear went in, and his right ear went out, and he didn't listen to a word.

Zhao Zhen saw that Kou Zhun was scolding more and more ruthlessly, and he didn't mean to stop at all, so he couldn't help but open his mouth to admonish.

Although Kou Ji was extremely unrighteous just now, it doesn't mean that he, Zhao Zhen, can also be unrighteous.

"Taishi, Kou Ji was also forced to ask me to come forward for the sake of my Great Song Dynasty, and he can't be blamed for this matter."

When Kou Zhun heard this, he slowly stopped, and his eyes swept back and forth on Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji, "Using the way of merchants to seek personal interests for themselves, is it also for the imperial court?" ”

Faced with Kou Zhun's questioning, Zhao Zhen couldn't answer, so he could only look at Kou Ji.

Kou Ji sighed, knowing that the matter had reached this point and could no longer be concealed from Kou Zhun, so he simply confessed it.

Kou Ji explained to Kou Zhun in detail the purpose of Jiaozipu, as well as the scale of Jiaozipu after it was rolled out, as well as the amount of money that Jiaozipu might store in the future.

After speaking, Kou Ji said with a sincere face: "Grandfather, do you dare to hand over such an important business to those businessmen?" ”

Kou Zhun and Zhao Zhen listened to Kou Ji's narration and looked stunned.

Zhao Zhen knew that Jiaozipu was important, but he didn't expect it to be so important.

Kou Zhun only thought that Jiaozipu was a place where Kou Ji made a profit, but he didn't expect that after Jiaozipu was laid, it would be able to control the money of the entire Great Song Dynasty.

For a while, the expressions of the two were extremely solemn.

Kou Zhun said with a gloomy face: "A businessman is also worthy of being in charge of such an important yamen? ”

After a pause, Kou Zhun added: "Those wealthy families are also not qualified. ”

As soon as Kou Zhun opened his mouth, he suddenly raised Jiaozipu to the same level as the yamen.

Kou Zhun must have had the idea of taking back Jiaozipu and handing it over to the imperial court.

Kou Ji opened his mouth and pierced Kou Zhun's thoughts, "The official family, grandfather, is Jiaozipu not suitable for the imperial court to be in charge?" ”

"Why?"

Kou Zhun looked at Kou Ji with displeasure.

Kou Zhun felt that a business like Jiaozipu, which was very involved, should be in the hands of the imperial court.

So that there will be no chaos.

Kou Ji had to come up with the same rhetoric he had used to persuade Chen Lin to convince Kou Zhun.

In the end, he said solemnly: "Once Jiaozipu is handed over to the imperial court, if the imperial court needs to use money, it needs to use a large amount of money, and the treasury is not enough to support it, the imperial court will inevitably increase the issuance of Jiaozi, or even overissue Jiaozi, and even use Jiaozi as copper coins."

Once a run is triggered, the imperial court does not have enough money to support it, and it will definitely lose its trust in the world.

When the time comes, Jiaozi will be reduced to waste paper and lose its proper use after its birth.

Seriously, it is difficult for the community to be safe. ”

What Kou Ji said is not alarmist, but there are living examples to learn from.

For example, the treasure banknotes of the Ming Dynasty and the gold yuan scrolls of the Republic of China......

When Kou Zhun heard this, he frowned and didn't say a word, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.

Kou Ji glanced at Chen Lin.

gave Chen Lin a look.

Chen Lin understood, sighed, took a few steps forward, and said, "Kou Gong, Kou Ji's worries are not superfluous. Jiaozi first appeared in Sichuan and Shu, and was controlled by several major merchants in Shu.

They made friends indiscriminately, broke their trust in the people, and were attacked by the people. ”

The reason why Chen Lin helped Kou Ji speak was also to help Zhao Zhen fight for profit.

If Jiaozipu was in charge of the imperial court, Zhao Zhen's inner treasury would not want to see a copper coin.

What's more, he doesn't want to see Jiaozipu being mastered by Kou Zhun or Liu E after being included in the imperial court, which will promote the arrogance and ambition of these two.

Kou Zhun heard that Jiaozi was promiscuous, which had already caused turmoil, and his brows immediately furrowed.

"Jiaozipu is so troublesome, and there are so many involved, so it's better to stop."

Out of control, or things that are not easy to control, Kou Zhun likes to strangle them in the cradle.

This is not Kou Zhun alone's thoughts, almost most of the superiors have this idea when dealing with things.

When Kou Ji heard this, he was a little unhappy.

I tried my best to get Jiaozi out of the shop, if you stopped a word, then wouldn't I be busy in vain?

Kou Ji said decisively: "Grandfather, this move is not appropriate. Since some people have tasted the sweetness of establishing Jiaozipu, they will not give up easily. If we don't set up a Jiaozi shop, guide it on the right path, and suppress those ambitious merchants, Jiaozi will inevitably become a scourge to the imperial court under the indiscriminate distribution of those merchants.

Moreover, the establishment of Jiaozipu far outweighed the disadvantages for the imperial court.

As far as the flood is concerned.

Just because of a regular liquidation and a shortfall, it almost caused hundreds of thousands of Li people to die.

If it weren't for the timely delivery of food by the soldiers and civilians of Baozhou to help the imperial court relieve the siege, I am afraid that it would be unimaginable in the future.

This is still the case in Bianjing, but what about the place?

Tens of thousands of people die in major disasters in local areas, and a large part of this is due to the lack of disaster relief.

Or maybe it's because local officials are deducting the victims' relief food and salaries.

If there is a Jiaozi shop, it will be different.

The imperial court only needs to hand over the money needed for disaster relief to Jiaozipu.

Dispatch fast horses, take the Jiaozi issued by Jiaozipu, and go to the local Jiaozipu to directly withdraw money for disaster relief.

It can avoid the wear and tear of cars and horses on the way, as well as the time lost.

It can also prevent local officials from withholding at all levels.

Not only that, once there is a shortage of food in the local disaster relief, the imperial court can also entrust Jiaozipu in various places to collect grain from all over the country and transport it to the affected places.

The payment of military salaries and the supply of military quarters in the frontier can also be done with the help of Jiaozi ......"

Kou Ji was full of joy and explained to Kou Zhun many benefits of Jiaozi, from military politics to people's livelihood.

He is not Mu Chong and others, and his understanding of Jiaozi still exists on the surface.

Kou Zhun listened to Kou Ji's explanation, and the more he listened, the deeper his brows wrinkled.

It's okay if Kou Zhun doesn't understand, but Kou Ji explained it very straightforwardly, and he also understood.

It was precisely because he understood that his brows were furrowed together, and he couldn't stretch for a long time.

He can understand the benefits of those Jiaozipu that Kou Ji said.

But once the imperial court borrowed Jiaozipu to do things, then Jiaozipu would gradually become a great yamen that influenced all aspects of the Great Song Dynasty.

Even if there are no officials in the Jiaozi shop, the status of the stewards and shopkeepers in the Jiaozi shop is not lost to those officials in the yamen.

Once the Jiaozi shop was laid in the entire Great Song Dynasty, it was not an exaggeration to call the Jiaozi shop the outer court.

More importantly, once the imperial court adopts Jiaozipu to do things, then many of the original ways and methods of governance will be completely overthrown.

The imperial court must reformulate new ways and means of governance.

This is a very difficult thing for Kou Zhun.

Kou Zhun has been in charge for many years, and he has long been accustomed to the existing governance methods of the imperial court, and he suddenly changed a set of governance methods, which was a little difficult for him to deal with.

The courage to break the old and welcome the new is not something that everyone can have.

Kou Zhun frowned, stood in place, and said nothing.

Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen didn't speak, just stared at him quietly.

Zhao Zhen's speed of accepting new things is far faster than Kou Zhun.

A full hour later.

Kou Zhun slowly came back to his senses, his eyes fell on Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen, and his expression was extremely complicated.

Kou Zhun didn't say a word, sighed, put his hands behind his back, and left the third floor of Jiaozipu with a little desolation.

Zhao Zhen looked at Kou Zhun's departing back, and a trace of sourness appeared in his heart inexplicably, "Taishi, this is ...... What's wrong? ”

Kou Ji pondered for a while, then sighed and said, "Old ......"

Kou Ji could clearly feel that what he said just now had a huge impact on Kou Zhun and made it difficult for Kou Zhun to calm down for a long time.

After Kou Zhun learned that he could borrow such an emerging thing as Jiaozi to make governance more convenient, he would inevitably have a trace of heroic twilight.

Kou Ji looked at Zhao Zhen and said, "Go back to the palace." Go back and help me spend time with my grandfather. ”

Zhao Zhen nodded without hesitation.

Kou Zhun dispersed those gentlemen and officials, and after they went out, they would definitely publicize the fact that the owner of Jiaozipu was Zhao Zhen.

Before Zhao Zhen took the initiative to withdraw from the Jiaozi shop, no one would go to the Jiaozi shop to find trouble.

Zhao Zhen didn't need to stay here any longer.

Kou Ji arched his hand to Zhao Zhen, "It's hard to ......"

Zhao Zhen nodded, and accompanied by Chen Lin, left Jiaozipu.

The guards in civilian clothes in Jiaozi's shop also followed Zhao Zhen and left quietly.

Jiaozipu's money-saving business did not stop because of their departure.

Instead, it became more lively.

A thousand dollars is not a small amount.

It's not something that can be done in three or two hours.

More and more cars and horses escorting money and property arrived in front of Jiaozipu, making Jiaozipu more prosperous.

Kou Ji didn't have the heart to pay attention anymore, he was worried about Kou Zhun in his heart, afraid that Kou Zhun would be stimulated by the fierce medicine he gave and collapsed.

Kou Ji stayed in Jiaozipu until the evening, and only left quietly after all the money was deposited in Jiaozipu.

10 million yuan deposited in Jiaozipu, will attract the attention of everyone in the world, as long as Jiaozipu does not die in the future, vigorous development is inevitable.

Mu Chong intended to hold a celebration party in Fan Lou and invited Kou Ji to go, but Kou Ji politely refused.

Back to the house.

Stepping into the main hall, Kou Ji looked surprised.

I saw that Kou Zhun, who was supposed to be in the palace, was lying in front of the brazier in the main hall and pretending to sleep.

Kou Jihu suspiciously walked into the inner hall and called softly, "Grandfather? ”

Under Kou Ji's call, Kou Zhun slowly opened his eyes.

Kou Ji asked: "Grandfather, you are not in the palace, why did you go back to the house?" ”

Kou Zhun said expressionlessly: "It's uncomfortable to stay in the palace......"

Kou Ji was stunned.

Kou Zhun glanced at him and snorted: "The old man has his own grandchildren, and he doesn't need the grandchildren of others to comfort the old man." ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he was stunned at first, and then laughed dumbly.

He thought that Kou Zhun was uncomfortable staying in the palace before returning home, but he didn't expect that it was Zhao Zhen, who had been told by him, to be too eager in the palace, which made Kou Zhun a little unbearable.

"Grandfather, wait a minute, I'll go get some wine and food, and our grandparents will have a good talk......

Kou Ji bowed his hand and exited the main hall.

When I arrived at the kitchen, I instructed the cook in the house to prepare some mutton, cut it into slices, and make a soup base with some dry herbs, and sent it to the main hall.

It didn't take long for the grandfather and grandson to stir up mutton in the main hall.

After eating a few slices of mutton and taking a sip of warm wine, Kou Zhun put down his chopsticks, stared at Kou Ji and asked, "What did you make such a monster for?" ”

Kou Zhun is not happy in his heart, but he is still concerned about the matter of Jiaozipu.

Kou Ji chewed the mutton and said, "Jiaozi was not made by me, but by the merchants of Sichuan and Shu."

I just found out one step ahead of the rest. ”

"Purpose?"

Kou Zhun asked.

He didn't think Coji would do something without a purpose.

Kou Ji did not hide it, and said frankly: "The purpose is to promote some of the crafts of our Ministry of Industry. ”

Kou Zhun widened his eyes and gave Kou Ji a look that you were playing with the old man.

Kou Ji explains: "Many crafts were born and were not taken seriously.

Some crafts that are beneficial to the country, at the beginning of their birth, most of them were extinguished until they disappeared.

Some crafts, even if the imperial court vigorously promoted them, could not make the people up and down the Great Song Dynasty accept them.

For example, Bi's movable type printing.

It has been more than a month since it was promoted by the imperial court, but now in the Great Song Dynasty, only I have a large-scale Bi's movable type printing workshop.

In the rest of the printing workshops, only a very small number of people are using it.

Most people still use block printing. ”
