Mu Chong's face was bitter as if he had eaten Coptis chinensis, "But it is impossible for that person to appear on such an occasion." I can't just say when I meet people, that is the big proprietor of our Jiaozi shop, right? ”

Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said, "Who said that person can't appear on such an occasion?" ”

Mu Chong smiled bitterly: "If he appears in our Jiaozipu, the Wenchen of the Manchu Dynasty can block the door of our Jiaozipu." There is an unwritten rule in the court that the heavenly family does not compete with the people for profit. ”

Kou Ji snorted: "How do I remember that there is also a saying in the DPRK that the people do not compete with the people for profit? ”

Mu Chong smiled dryly: "How can those who are officials control themselves? They restrain the heavenly family, but when they do business below, they rely on their authority and their hands. ”

Kou Ji sneered: "Then this rule is still a fart." As long as they set fires, the officials are not allowed to light the lights? ”

Mu Chong smiled dryly and did not speak again.

Koji was qualified to lash out at the court in front of people, but he didn't.

Kou Ji snorted coldly and said, "I want to kill their crooked spirit." If they are interested, they obediently shrink their heads and make a fortune in a muffled voice. If you dare to jump out, then don't blame me and the officials, check them out.

If it is found that they themselves are competing with the people for profit, I will let them write down on paper the words that the eaters do not compete with the people for profit. ”

Kou Ji looked at Mu Chong and snorted, "You just have to do it with confidence." On the day of opening, I will invite the official family to come and sit down. I'd like to see who jumps out first. ”

Mu Chong saw that Kou Ji was bent on going his own way, so he didn't dare to stop him.

He just nodded in agreement.

Kou Ji told Mu Chong again, so he didn't stay in the Jiaozi shop for more.

I returned to the house and rested for a long time.

Following.

After going to the early dynasty, he did not leave the palace in a hurry, but went to the capital hall and waited for Zhao Zhen.

After seeing Zhao Zhen, he used the excuse to pull Zhao Zhen out of the capital hall.

Anyway, Li Di and Wang Zeng are not there, and only Kou Zhun is in charge of the Shishitang.

Kou Zhun was a little busy, so he didn't bother to take care of the two little guys.

Out of the Shishitang, Zhao Zhen proposed to go to the hidden side hall.

Kou Ji nodded in agreement and arrived at the side hall.

Chen Lin quietly chased after him.

As soon as he entered the side hall, Zhao Zhen couldn't wait to say to Kou Ji: "You did a good job of resettling the homeless, and you helped me raise my face once." Originally, I wanted to promote you to the position of secretary of the Ministry of Industry, but the Taishi did not allow it, so I could only help you get a knighthood.

Wait for me!

When I become a pro-government, I will definitely promote you to an official position. ”

Kou Ji bowed his hand and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Thank you for the love of the officials." ”

Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said, "Between you and me, don't say so many polite words." ”

Koji nodded.

Zhao Zhen pulled Kou Ji to sit down on a chair in the side hall, feeling Chen Lin's unpredictable gaze, and listening to Zhao Zhen's eagerness: "Tell me quickly, how do you settle those homeless people?"

When I heard about it, the homeless people almost got into a fight.

In order to suppress those displaced people, Mr. Li killed many people. ”

"Ahem......"

Chen Lin coughed twice.

Kou Ji pretended not to hear, he pondered Zhao Zhen's words, and said, "Li Xiang killed someone?" ”

Zhao Zhen said unexpectedly: "You don't know? ”

Kou Ji shook his head.

Zhao Zhen hurriedly said: "On the second and third days when our people from Baozhou arrived in Bianjing, every time Mr. Li entered the palace, he came in a bloody suit.

Chen Lin said that with Mr. Li's identity, it is impossible to kill people with his own hands.

The fact that his clothes can turn bloody shows that he has killed a lot of people.

Why did he kill so many people?

Could it be that the outcasts outside the city are in trouble? ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he groaned slightly, and glanced at Chen Lin.

Zhao Zhen's words, he understood.

On the second and third days after the Baozhou people arrived in Bianjing, some of the displaced people accepted outside the southern city gate had eaten things that they should not eat.

Li Di should have killed those people.

Chen Lin only told Zhao Zhen that Li Di had killed someone, but he didn't tell Zhao Zhen who Li Di had killed.

That means that there are some things that shouldn't be said, and Chen Lin doesn't want Zhao Zhen to know.

Chen Lin saw Kou Ji's gaze, straightened his face, and coughed heavily.

Kou Ji understood and said to Zhao Zhen: "There are small groups of homeless people outside the city who are in rebellion, and Li Xiang should be the ones who killed." ”

Zhao Zhen glanced at Kou Ji with resentment, and said dissatisfiedly: "Are you still a nine-year-old child?" You and Chen Lin are two eyebrows, when I can't see it?

It's okay for others to fool me with this set, even you use this set to fool me? ”

Kou Ji pursed his lips, glanced at Chen Lin, and shrugged his shoulders.

is basically telling Chen Lin that the official family is too big to deceive.

Chen Lin glared at Kou Ji.

It's basically reminding him not to say anything that shouldn't be said.

Zhao Zhen said angrily: "You two are still frowning? ”

Chen Lin hurriedly bowed down to accompany the crime.

Kou Jiba pursed his lips and said with emotion: "There are some things that Gonggong Chen doesn't let his ministers say." ”

Zhao Zhen glared at Chen Lin and scolded, "Chen Lin, I order you not to stop Kou Ji from telling me the truth. ”

Chen Lin sighed helplessly, glared at Kou Ji, and said humbly: "The slave obeys the order......

Zhao Zhen saw that Chen Lin agreed, and immediately said to Kou Ji: "Say it quickly, say it quickly......

Kou Ji coughed and said, "The reason why Li Xiang killed people is probably because those people were too hungry and ate something they shouldn't eat." ”

Zhao Zhen said suspiciously: "Shouldn't you eat it?" Dirt? ”

Without waiting for Kou Ji to speak, Zhao Zhen furrowed his brows and said to himself: "I have heard from gentlemen that when the people of the people have nothing to eat, they will use soil to satisfy their hunger.

In some places, eating raw soil has become a custom. ”

Zhao Zhen looked at Kou Ji and said, "But...... It is not a sin to eat dirt. If you really want to talk about the crime, it is also the sin of the imperial court, it is the imperial court that did not deliver food to them in time, so that they starved. ”

Kou Ji smiled dryly: "Eating soil is naturally not guilty. The minister was talking about something else...... For example, ...... yourself"

Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "Are you kidding, how can you eat ...... yourself?"

Halfway through his words, Zhao Zhen's eyes widened suddenly, looked at Kou Ji, and said in astonishment: "You mean they eat ......"

Zhao Zhen shook his head in horror.

"How does this work......"

"How does this work......"

“……”

Zhao Zhen is not an emperor who doesn't know anything, and he won't say why the people don't eat meat paste when they have no food to eat.

He has seen the allusion of eating with a child, he has seen it in many books.

So after Kou Ji's reminder, he knew.

But he couldn't take it a bit.

Where did Zhao Zhen talk to himself in horror.

Kou Ji let out a long sigh.

Chen Lin glared at Kou Ji complainingly.

Kou Ji spread his hands and said: "This kind of thing is inevitable, and the official family will know about it sooner or later." Instead of letting the official family live in a dream woven by everyone, it is better to let him quickly accept the reality. ”

Chen Lin gritted his teeth and said, "What you said is right, and our family also understands this truth." But our family just doesn't want to see the official family uncomfortable. ”

Kou Ji said seriously: "Excessive doting is not a good thing. He is the son of destiny and is destined to rule the world in the future. The better you protect him, the bigger the blow will be when he knows the truth.

Rather than this, it is better to tell him as soon as possible, let him take warning, and use this to motivate himself to be a good emperor in the future. ”

Chen Lin looked at Zhao Zhen, who was still thinking about it somewhere, and sighed.

"That's it...... We'll allow you to be presumptuous again......"

Kou Ji rolled his eyes with disdain.

Chen Lin was just playing prestige in front of him.

If he dares to say this kind of thing to Kou Zhun, say it to Liu E.

Kou Zhun and Liu E will definitely hang him on the flagpole to dry.

Where Zhao Zhen himself had been talking for a long time, he suddenly grabbed Kou Ji's sleeve and said, "Is it my fault?" ”

Kou Ji shook his head indifferently and said, "This matter has nothing to do with the official family, it is purely a natural disaster. Although the imperial court delayed the disaster relief, it did not affect the distribution of food.

In other words, what should be done has been done by the imperial court, and I have also done it in place of the imperial court.

That kind of thing happened, and it was also the fault of natural disasters.

Officials don't have to blame themselves. ”

When Zhao Zhen heard this, his heart relaxed a lot, but his face was still ugly, "Isn't there a way to avoid this?" I can't even think of that kind of thing, how can I be able to talk about it when I am born together? ”

Kou Ji pondered for a while and said, "Maybe only when there is too much food in the world to eat, there won't be that kind of tragedy." ”

Zhao Zhen's face was bitter, "I am short of food every year in the Great Song Dynasty, how can there be a day when there is too much food to eat." ”

Kou Ji smiled: "There are still ways. ”

Zhao Zhen looked at Kou Ji in amazement, and hurriedly asked, "What way?" ”

Kou Ji chuckled in a low voice, "As long as there is enough land for the people to cultivate, it will be fine. ”

Zhao Zhen said unhappily: "The fertile land of the imperial court has been distributed to the people, and there is not enough fertile land to distribute to the people." Before the flood, I accompanied Mr. Li in the capital office.

Mr. Li told me that the population of the Great Song Dynasty has grown from more than 30 million people in the Taizu period to more than 60 million people.

The fertile land of my Great Song Dynasty has long been allocated.

The population has been growing, but the fertile land has never grown.

Some of them still have the land that has been handed down from their ancestors to plant.

There are also some people who have to rely on farming or working for others to have something to eat. ”

Kou Ji smiled and said, "We don't have extra good land, others do." ”

Zhao Zhen immediately asked, "Who?!" ”

"Ahem!"

Chen Lin coughed heavily and stared at Kou Ji with a dark face.

He felt that Kou Ji, a slanderous minister, was afraid that he was going to pour confused soup into the official family again.

For example, instigating officials to start wars and the like......

After Kou Ji heard Chen Lin's cough, he kept silent.

Zhao Zhen's eyes fell on Chen Lin, and said with a straight face: "Chen Daban, you go out first." ”

Chen Lin was angry and didn't listen to Zhao Zhen's words, but said with a bitter face: "Official, you can let the slave and maid accompany you in the palace." The slave promised that there would be no more movement. ”

Zhao Zhen snorted coldly and looked back at Kou Ji.

When Kou Ji saw that Chen Lin, the old thing, had not been kicked out, he knew that he had something inconvenient to say.

After all, it doesn't matter if Chen Lin hears it.

But if it reaches the court and lets those officials of the Lord and faction know, he will inevitably be impeached.

Immediately, he thought about it for a while and said with a smile: "I heard that Guangnan West Road and Guangnan East Road are both large and rich, but the population is very sparse. The imperial court could relocate some of the people there. ”

When Zhao Zhen heard this, he frowned and said: "The Taishi has mentioned this matter, but Guangnan West Road and Guangnan East Road are mountainous, forested, and smoky, except for those local people, other people have no way to work there." ”

Kou Ji nodded and said: "The land of Guangnan is full of mountains and forests, and it is true that there are many smoke miasma. But there is still a lot of flat land, but these flat lands are only planted by the families of the convicts who have migrated past, and they cannot be planted.

Most of the local genera feed on the mountains and forests, and even if they are farming, they will not occupy too much space.

Therefore, the imperial court can completely relocate some of the people to the past.

Cultivating other uncultivated fields.

In addition, smoke miasma is not unpreventable.

If there is no solution to the miasma, then how do the local people survive?

Most of those who say that the land of Quang Nam is full of miasma and cannot survive is that they can't stand the mosquito bites in the land of Quang Nam.

But compared to eating Yizi, what is a little mosquito bite? ”

Zhao Zhen was slightly stunned and said, "Then I will go back and ask the Taishi to send someone to Guangnan to investigate this matter." ”

Chen Lin opened his mouth vigorously on the side, but he didn't dare to make a sound.

Zhao Zhen looked a little strange and uncomfortable, so he said with a straight face: "If you have anything to say, you can say it." ”

When Chen Lin heard this, he hurriedly said: "The words of the Ministry of Kou Gong are true, but it is just a remote place in Guangnan. If they can't stand the mosquitoes in the area, there will inevitably be riots.

The folk customs are different, and the local vassals are also prone to friction with the people who migrated past.

When the time comes, not only will the displaced people revolt, but the vassals will also join forces to revolt.

If Guangnan is in chaos because of this, it will be a big trouble for the imperial court.

Instead of causing this big trouble, it is better not to do anything. ”

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen frowned and looked at Kou Ji.

He wondered what Koji would justify.

Kou Ji said indifferently: "There are tens of thousands of soldiers in the Xiang army under the streamlining of the imperial court. It's just right to move them to Quang Nam. Under the frequent oppression of those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, they did not make trouble, how could they make trouble because of some mosquito bites?

As for friction with vassals, it was inevitable.

They nest in the mountains all the year round and do not obey the king.

Once one's own interests are impacted, chaos is inevitable.

But it is precisely because of this that it is even more necessary to relocate those soldiers of the van army who have been streamlined.

They have enough strength to make peace with their vassals.

At the same time, it can also guide those vassals out of the mountains.

At that time, under the same stream, those vassal people will inevitably become the people of my Great Song Dynasty.

In the long run, our Great Song Dynasty will not only solve the problem of rebellion among the Guangnan Domain, but also provide a large amount of fertile land to support the people.

In addition, I will have one more treasure land in Da Song. ”
