Chapter 0303: Chen Lin's interrogation
On the road.
Chen Lin's old hand kept brushing over Kou Ji's shoulder, as if he was about to pinch his neck at any moment.
His voice was low and hoarse like a ghost, and he whispered in Kou Ji's ear: "Kou Ji, you are becoming more and more arrogant......"
Kou Ji didn't seem to see Chen Lin's hand brushing over his shoulder, he carried Zhao Zhen's inscription in his arms, and said indifferently while walking forward: "Everything I do is approved by the official." β
Chen Lin narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "The official family has forgiven the sins you committed, but the official family has not forgiven your sins of bullying the king." β
Kou Ji paused, looked sideways at Chen Lin, and asked seriously, "When will I deceive the king?" β
Chen Lin took small steps, walked in front of Kou Ji, and said with a cold face: "You first deceived the official family and established the Son of Heaven's pro-army, and now you plan to use the name of the official family to collect money.
It's soldiers and horses, and it's money and food......
It is clearly a bad intention.
You use the hands of officials to achieve your ulterior purpose, not to deceive the king, what is it? β
Kou Ji stared at Chen Lin in front of him, frowned, and said, "Everything I do is for the official family. β
"For the sake of the officials?"
Chen Lin sneered: "If you are really for the official family, then you should not do anything." β
Kou Ji stared at Chen Lin and didn't say anything.
Chen Lin continued: "Your grandfather is now in power to invade the government and the opposition, and it is easy to follow Cao Mengde's words. β
Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "My grandfather is loyal to the official family. β
Chen Lin sneered: "Our family knows that your grandfather is loyal to the official family.
But the power in his hands has reached its peak.
Half a step further will threaten the official family.
You are gathering troops and collecting money, and you are pushing your grandfather to take the remaining half of the way. β
Kou Ji glared at Chen Lin and snorted coldly: "I am also a brother to the official family. β
Chen Lin said disdainfully: "Taizu and Taizong are still brothers......
Kou Ji glared at Chen Lin and said in a deep voice: "My grandfather and I have no objections, why do you say that I am pushing my grandfather to take the remaining half of the way?" β
Chen Lin said sympathetically: "Power and strength, reaching a certain peak, even if you are unwilling to sit in a high position, some restless people will push you forward." β
Chen Lin's words were very blunt, and Kou Ji sounded particularly harsh, but he had to admit that Chen Lin was telling the truth.
Kou Ji pondered for a while and said, "You understand the situation in Baozhou.
If those soldiers in Baozhou can't become the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, what will happen to them, you should understand. β
Chen Lin said unhurriedly: "Our family naturally understands, so our family didn't say much about the establishment of the Son of Heaven's pro-army in Baozhou."
But now you want to make a profit in the name of the official family, and our family has to stop it. β
Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "I didn't use the name of the official family to make a profit.
The reason why the official family is needed to write the imperial book is to send money to the official family in a clear and honest manner. β
Chen Lin didn't believe Kou Ji's words at all, he said sarcastically: "You would be so kind? β
Kou Ji asked, "Do you know Jiaozi?" β
Chen Lin was stunned for a moment, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Jiaozi in Shu? β
Kou Ji nodded slowly.
Chen Lin said thoughtfully: "When Jiaozi appeared, the people of our family noticed it.
The Mu family and other major merchants were insatiable, and when they caused trouble through Jiaozi, our family had the intention to disclose the matter to the inner court, intending to let the inner court intervene.
It's just that we haven't waited for our family to send someone to reveal it to the inner court.
Your Koufu's manpower will be in Sichuan.
Let's let our people wait and see what happens. β
After a pause, Chen Lin said in a quiet tone: "Our family heard from his subordinates that you have made tens of millions of dollars by taking advantage of the Jiaozi crisis in Sichuan Mansion.
The means of making money can be called the first in the world. β
Chen Lin's eyes fell on Kou Ji's face, and said lightly: "Our family doesn't hide it from you, the reason why our family thinks that your Kou Mansion will plot misdeeds is because of this tens of millions of dollars."
10 million yuan of money is enough for you to buy hundreds of thousands of soldiers! β
Kou Ji frowned and said, "No matter how much money I make, that's my ability."
I didn't steal, I didn't rob, I didn't embezzle, and every penny I made was clean.
Don't say it's 10 million, even if it's 10,000, I'm rightful to take it.
I mentioned Jiaozi to you, and it has nothing to do with me making money. β
Chen Lin slowly opened his eyes wide, and said in a strange manner: "Ten thousand thousand, Kou Shilang has such a big breath!" β
Kou Ji said angrily, "Can you let me finish my words?" β
Chen Lin sneered: "Okay, our family will give you time to finish your words." β
When Kou Ji saw Chen Lin's sneer, he knew that no matter what he said, Chen Lin would judge with a scrutinizing mentality.
But Koji didn't care.
He has long had a draft in his womb, and he believes that his belly draft can conquer Chen Lin.
Kou Ji pursed his lips and said: "Jiaozi you know, you have also learned about Jiaozi shop in Shuzhong, then you should know how profitable Jiaozi is." β
Chen Lin pulled the corners of her mouth and sneered: "Jiaozi can make money? How do we see that the major merchants who opened the Jiaozi shop not only did not make money, but also lost a lot of money. Some people even died because of this. β
Hearing Chen Lin's words, Kou Ji was slightly stunned, and he couldn't cry or laugh.
He thought that Chen Lin knew Jiaozi very well, but he didn't expect that Chen Lin only knew some fur.
Seeing Chen Lin's sneering face, he couldn't help but sneer: "Several major businesses didn't make money, and some people even died because of this, that's because of my help."
If I don't make a move, what will it be like if you think about it? β
Chen Lin pondered Kou Ji's words carefully, and the smile on his face was a little stiff.
Kou Ji continued: "If I don't make a move, those big merchants will definitely make a profit. In the end, it is only those people who suffer, and it is also those people who are ruined. β
Chen Lin's face was a little ugly and said: "Taishi and the others will not sit idly by, and they will not let the people suffer." β
Kou Ji sneered at Chen Lin's appearance just now, but did not speak.
Chen Lin's face became even more ugly.
He is not a stubborn person, nor is he a person who likes to drill the horns of the bull.
Just from the fact that after the run on the Jiaozi shop in Shuzhong, the people overturned the Sichuan Mansion, but the court did not get the news, it is not difficult to see that several major merchants in the Jiaozi shop in Shuzhong have bought off the local government.
Even if the imperial court sent people to investigate, they couldn't find much.
In the end, it was only the imperial court that paid to clean up the mess, and the only one who carried the black pot was the Zhou family who fled to the Liao State.
Several other major businesses were not hurt at all.
Chen Lin said with a dark face: "Investigating and dealing with corruption is the responsibility of the Criminal Department, and it has nothing to do with our family." β
Kou Ji smiled indifferently: "I didn't let you investigate and deal with corruption, nor did I talk to you about corruption." I've been talking about Jiaozi all along. β
Chen Lin gritted her teeth and said, "What if Jiaozi makes money?" Shuzhong Jiaozi shop has closed. The people of Sichuan no longer trust Jiaozi. β
Kou Ji still looked indifferent, "The closure of Shuzhong Jiaozipu was instructed by me." The Jiaozi they did before made too many mistakes and were not greedy enough, which would cause a run on the tide.
I've re-established the rules, so I won't have to do it again.
Not only will there be no trouble, but Jiaozi will get bigger and bigger.
At present, Sichuan Mansion, Jiangning Mansion and Bianjing City have respectively set up Jiaozi shops.
Only after the official signboard is hung up, it can be opened.
At that time, there will be a large number of gold, silver and copper coins, which will be stored in Jiaozi Shop. β
When Chen Lin heard this, he still didn't think so.
Kou Ji smiled and threw down a bombshell, "It only takes half a month, and the money in the three Jiaozi shops will exceed the national treasury." β
Kou Ji wasn't talking big.
The reason why he dared to say that in half a month, Jiaozipu's savings would exceed the national treasury.
It's not because the savings of the three Jiaozi shops will reach a terrifying figure within half a month.
Rather, it was because the treasury had been empty for many years, and only in the past year or two, after the abolition of the Criminal Division and the dismissal of half of the officers and men of the Trilateral Army, a little surplus was left.
At present, there are less than two million yuan in the treasury.
Originally, there should have been more, but the imperial court spent some in order to appease the soldiers of the Xiang army who had been dismissed.
But, even so, Chen Lin's eyes widened for a moment.
You must know that the monthly profit of the imperial court salt factory is only one million.
The small three Jiaozi shops, in just half a month, can absorb more than twice the profit of the imperial court's salt farm, how can he not be surprised.
Kou Ji was very satisfied with Chen Lin's reaction, the corners of his mouth curled, and he continued with a bright smile: "I plan to pave Jiaozi to seventeen roads under the jurisdiction of the imperial court within three years. β
The Great Song Dynasty originally had fifteen roads, but after Kou Zhun proposed to add Dongping Road and Xiping Road, it became seventeen roads.
Kou Ji stared at Chen Lin and dropped an even bigger bombshell again, "Once Jiaozipu is paved to seventeen roads, Jiaozipu's annual savings can be on par with the imperial court's taxes." β
Chen Lin's pupils shrank into a dot in an instant, her mouth trembled, and she roared, "It's impossible to ......"
Kou Ji smiled indifferently: "Nothing is impossible...... The emergence of Jiaozi is to provide convenience for large trading transactions. At that time, large-scale buying and selling transactions, and even buying and selling transactions on the street that exceed the usual money, will be traded with Jiaozi.
If they want to use my Jiaozi, they naturally have to store the corresponding copper coins in the Jiaozi shop.
At that time, the savings of Jiaozipu will increase day by day.
It is on par with the imperial court tax, and it is easy. β
When Chen Lin heard this, her whole body trembled.
Kou Ji asked with a smile: "You don't be naΓ―ve to think that the money in the hands of the common people is not as much as the tax of the imperial court, right?" β
Chen Lin shook his head stiffly.
He certainly wouldn't have had such a naΓ―ve idea.
Since the beginning of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, until today, the amount of copper coins issued every year is about 30 million yuan.
Decades have passed, and the copper coins minted by the imperial court coinage workshop held by the common people have exceeded 100,000 yuan.
As a result, the people's demand for copper coins has not yet reached saturation.
Otherwise, there would not be so many workshops for minting private money, let alone iron money.
It can be seen that the stock of copper coins in the private sector is very huge.
In Chen Lin's shocked look, Kou Ji continued: "A lot of money in the people is in the hands of rich families and businessmen. Ninety percent of the wealthy are also in business.
As long as they do business, they can't do without convenient Jiaozi. β
Kou Ji said it so clearly, Chen Lin almost didn't need to think about it to understand that once Jiaozi was recognized by the people, the people would almost not hesitate to exchange the money in their hands for the transaction.
Jiaozipu's annual savings exceed the taxes of the imperial court, which is not an assumption, but a real thing.
Seeing Chen Lin gritting his teeth and being silent, Kou Ji knew that the heat was almost over, and he said with a smile: "If you can pave Jiaozi Shop to more than 200 states in the Great Song Dynasty, it will be even more powerful." β
"No way!"
Chen Lin blurted out.
Kou Ji smiled and asked, "What's not to do?" β
Chen Lin stared at Kou Ji and said seriously: "Jiaozi can't be in your hands. β
Kou Ji expected Chen Lin to say this, and he smiled indifferently: "Then who do you think is more appropriate?" Court? My grandfather? Or the Queen Mother? β
Kou Ji looked at Chen Lin twice, and said, "As for you...... I don't have that qualification, and I don't have that ability. β
Chen Lin gritted his teeth and said, "Then let the imperial court take charge." β
Kou Ji laughed and said: "Let the imperial court be in charge, and then become a money-making machine for those corrupt officials and corrupt officials." Eventually, a run on the merchants, wealthy businessmen, and then a revolt? β
"Keeping ...... Guarded"
"If strict supervision is useful, Lu Yijian will not find out thousands of corrupt officials and corrupt officials."
Kou Ji stared at Chen Lin and said seriously: "Jiaozi is no better than others." It is not difficult for corrupt officials and corrupt officials to loot the people's fat and ointment, thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands. But if you want to exceed a million, it will be difficult.
Jiaozi is different.
Once the Jiaozi was laid to the states.
If some officials in charge of Jiaozi want to embezzle, they will do it for millions, or even tens of millions. β
Chen Lin gritted her teeth and lowered her head gloomily.
He didn't make a stupid proposal to let Kou Zhun and Liu E take charge of Jiaozi.
If Kou Zhun is in charge of Jiaozi, then he will not be half a step away from Zhao Zhen's throne.
It's within reach.
If Liu E is in charge of Jiaozi, with her ambitions, she will definitely come to the front of the stage again.
When the time comes, Kou Zhun will not necessarily be her opponent.
Zhao Zhen will become a puppet in her hands.
Whether it is the former or the latter, it is not what Chen Lin wants to see.
Chen Lin pondered for a long time, stared at Kou Ji and asked, "What is the proportion of the official family in Jiaozi Shop?" β
Kou Ji said indifferently: "Originally, it was thirty percent, but the official family was unwilling, so it became two percent." β
Chen Lin glared, "So little? β
His face darkened, and he stared at Kou Ji and gritted his teeth, "You have eighty percent of the total...... If you want to use this to control the world's money, you really have a bad plan. β
Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said angrily: "I only account for two percent." β
Chen Lin was stunned for a moment and asked, "What about the remaining sixty percent?" β
Kou Ji spread his hands and said, "It was given to the Mu family, the Qian family, and the Meng family." β
Chen Lin said angrily: "A group of cheap businessmen, what qualifications do they have to account for sixty percent of the Jiaozi shop." We don't allow it! β
