On the second day after Kou Ji returned to the mansion, Zhao Zhen promised him that the handwritten letter was sent to Kou Mansion.

It's just the person who gave the handwritten book, which made Kou Ji feel a little surprised.

Kou Zhun took the handbook, stared at Kou Ji with a dark face, and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

Kou Ji stood in front of Kou Zhun and said indifferently: "I didn't want to do anything......

Kou Zhun snorted coldly: "I don't want to do anything, you will work with the official family to make a pro-army of 4,000 people?" ”

"I'm also here to raise horses, so I have to do it."

"Thirty-four thousand people were used to raise horses?"

"Not so much ......"

"What's not so much? What do you think you did in Baozhou, the old man doesn't know anything? 4,000 young and strong, 20,000 veterans who have quit the army, and more than 10,000 women and children, adding up to 34,000 people.

Seven men serving a horse?

Do you have a Maxima?

Need seven people to serve? ”

"Those old soldiers, women and children are voluntary......"

"Voluntarily fart, if you don't nod your head, can they be willing?"

Kou Zhun sat on the chair with a snort, glared at Kou Ji, and asked, "Tell the old man, what do you want to do with the officials?" ”

Speaking of this, Kou Zhun raised the handwritten book in his hand again, and snorted coldly: "And this thing?" Do you think this thing is a document of the imperial court, and you can take it out casually?

You two can really do it, one dares to ask for it, and the other dares to write. ”

"Fortunately, this thing was discovered by the old man first, if it is discovered by the people below, and then report it to the court with great fanfare, it will be good for you two."

“……”

Kou Zhun stared at Kou Ji and scolded him.

Kou Ji knew that he was wrong, so he let Kou Zhun scold him for being angry.

Kou Zhun scolded for a long time, tired of scolding, Kou Ji hurriedly handed Kou Zhun a cup of tea, and asked in a low voice, "Grandfather also scolded the official family like this?" ”

When Kou Zhun heard this, he almost died of anger, and said violently: "Can anyone in the official family be scolded?" ”

"Then I'll be scolded alone?"

"Huh?!"

"Grandfather scolded well."

"Humph!"

Kou Zhun put down the teacup and scolded Kou Ji for a while, before he asked angrily: "You haven't told the old man yet, what does it mean that you are doing this with the official family?" ”

Kou Ji shook his head and said, "Grandson is really just to raise horses well!" ”

Kou Zhun said disdainfully: "Nonsense......"

"You raise 4,000 soldiers and horses with the officials, what does it mean, if you don't say it, the old man doesn't want to care.

The old man just wants to remind you to be more restrained in doing things, and don't go astray with the official family.

Otherwise, the old man will let you taste the power of family law. ”

"Kou Zhong?"

"The old servant is here."

"Please come out of the family law, let this stinky boy take a look, let him know that my Kou family still has a family law, so that he must have awe in his heart, lest he cause trouble to the old man outside."

Kou Zhong agreed, went to the ancestral hall to ask for a rattan for offering, and went to Kou Zhun's study.

The rattan is wrapped in the shape of a whip, but it is hard when thrown up.

Kou Zhun took the rattan and shook it twice, wanting to tell Kou Ji that the rattan in Kou Mansion was not easy to mess with.

Just after two shakes, the rattan fell to the ground.

Kou Zhun, Kou Ji, and Kou Zhong looked at each other.

Kou Zhun Liwei didn't stand up, but made a joke, and immediately said angrily: "Go and tell the craftsmen in the house to make a big and thick family law for the old man." ”

Kou Ji muttered, "Big beatings don't hurt." ”

The corners of Kou Zhun's mouth twitched, and he said viciously: "Go and ask the craftsman in the house to make a long and thin family method for the old man!" ”

"Thin is easy to fold ......"

"Let the craftsman in the house make a rattan with iron for the old man, and wrap the old man with thorns on it!!"

Kou Zhun roared like thunder.

Kou Zhong fled from the study in a daze.

Kou Ji decisively knelt down in front of Kou Zhun.

He confessed......

The big husband can bend and stretch......

Take a step back and open the sky......

Gentleman's revenge......

In short, Kou Ji found countless reasons for himself to admit his guilt and comfort himself.

Seeing Kou Ji's confession, Kou Zhun's face softened a little, and he glared at Kou Ji and said, "You stinky boy, you don't make the old man worry at all."

If you weren't the grandson of the old man, the old man would have cut you with a thousand knives. ”

In the midst of scolding, Kou Zhun threw the handwritten book in his hand to Kou Ji.

"Take it! I don't care about you! The old man doesn't want to see you today. ”

Kou Ji picked up the handbook and looked at it, slightly stunned.

The handwriting was written by Zhao Zhen, yes, he recognized Zhao Zhen's handwriting.

It's just that there are two more seals on the handwriting.

One is the emperor's treasure seal, and the other is the inner court seal.

The reason why the emperor's treasure seal is used instead of the jade seal of the country is because during the Five Dynasties period, the jade seal of the country passed down from the hands of the first emperor disappeared.

Therefore, the royal family of the Great Song Dynasty did not pass on the jade seal of the country.

The jade seals of the successive emperors of the Song Dynasty are all engraved seals inherited from the hands of Zhao Kuangyin.

Non-heirloom jade seal.

Later generations said that the Great Song Dynasty was not righteous, in addition to Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiao's mutiny, bullying other orphans and widows, there were also reasons for passing on the jade seal of the country.

But whether the handwritten book is covered with a jade seal or not, Kou Ji doesn't care.

What Kou Ji cared about was the handwritten book and the two seals on it.

With these two seals, he could establish the emperor's pro-army in Baozhou openly.

A pro-army nominally under the jurisdiction of Zhao Zhen, but in fact under his jurisdiction.

Kou Ji flipped through it carefully and found that in addition to the two more seals on it, the number of pro-army members was also quite large.

"The Son of Heaven is pro-army...... Tiger ...... Full quota of 10,000 ......"

Kou Ji looked at Kou Zhun with a puzzled expression, "Grandfather, this?" ”

Kou Zhun glared at Kou Ji, "Isn't it to wipe your ass for the two of you?!" ”

"But this military name? How many people are there? ”

"Do you have an opinion on the old man's decision?"

"It's a bit ......"

"Do you think it's not good for the old man to get a military name? Or do you think the old man has given you too few people? ”

Kou Ji said embarrassedly: "Grandfather, I want four thousand ......."

"Phew! I am a big country, and the Son of Heaven has 4,000 pro-army? What a shame to say.

If it weren't for the fact that the two of you were too young, the old man would have wanted to expand the number to 100,000.

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu has 100,000 leather room troops, and I, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, should also have 100,000 pro-troops. ”

Kou Jihu said suspiciously: "Isn't there a second guard of the Divine Dragon?" ”

Kou Zhun had a dark face, "Can the second guard of the divine dragon be used?" The old man will allow you to establish a pro-army of the Son of Heaven. ”

Kou Ji asked with a lot of mouths, "How rotten is the second guard of the divine dragon?" ”

The corners of Kou Zhun's mouth twitched, but he didn't speak.

But looking at his face, he knew that Shenlong Erwei was very bad.

If it weren't for the fact that the two guards of the Shenlong were both the four armies of the forbidden army, and they were also responsible for guarding the imperial city, Kou Zhun would have been able to remove the soldiers and horses of the two guards of the Shenlong Army.

With the continuous streamlining of the Xiang army, the erosive military and political affairs in various places have been exposed.

I thought that the box army was the most erosive, but I didn't expect the forbidden army to be even more erosive.

If it weren't for the fact that there were still a large number of forbidden troops, they would still maintain a good fighting ability.

Kou Zhun wanted to stab the forbidden army.

Of course, the forbidden army is the real place for Wu Xun.

Kou Zhun could only think about it.

If you really want to stab the forbidden army, Wu Xun will definitely make a fuss.

Although Wu Xun did not have the right to mobilize the forbidden army, he also did not have the right to directly command the forbidden army.

But with the infiltration of Wuxun for many years, the leaders of the forbidden army in all parts are all from Wuxun.

They may not rebel, but they will make a stumbling block for the court.

The reason why the second guard of the divine dragon is erosive is because it is filled with a large number of martial arts disciples.

Most of them are unsuccessful, or pretend to be crazy and stupid.

They fill the barracks, and the barracks can be good.

Among the four armies of the forbidden army guarding Bianjing, there are only two armies, the Japanese and Tianwu, which still maintain their combat effectiveness.

This is also the reason why every time there is a war, the imperial court will dispatch the two armies of Japan and Tianwu, but do not move the two guards of Shenlong.

Kou Ji didn't care about this, he smiled and put the handbook into his arms, and said to Kou Zhun: "Thank you grandfather for your love." ”

Kou Zhun glanced at him and said with a look of disgust: "Get out!" ”

Kou Ji bowed, pulled his legs and walked out.

As soon as he walked to the door, he heard Kou Zhun shouting, "Wait......"

Kou Ji turned around and asked, "What else does grandfather command?" ”

Kou Zhun hesitated for a moment, and said with an unspeakable expression: "Do you think that there is a way to take back the land under the names of various temples and Taoist temples and distribute them to the people?" ”

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, thoughtful.

In the Shishitang before, he mentioned the wealthy families, the land annexation of the official Wuxun, and the temple land.

Kou Zhun mentioned the temple property alone, but did not mention the official Wuxun and the wealthy family, which means that he only intends to attack the temple.

It's just that......

Kou Ji hesitated for a moment, looked at Kou Zhun and asked, "Grandfather thinks that the temple and the Taoist temple are the softest persimmons among the three forces?" ”

Kou Zhun was stunned for a moment, and said lightly: "Isn't it?" ”

Kou Ji smiled bitterly: "How do I think, they are the hardest bones to gnaw?" ”

Kou Zhun frowned.

Kou Ji said seriously: "It is difficult to recover the property that has entered the temple.

What the imperial court could do was to start collecting agricultural taxes in the temples, and they had to collect heavy taxes.

In this way, they can slowly force them to spit out the ground.

In comparison, it is easier to deal with martial arts officials and wealthy families.

Of course, there are the easiest ones to deal with. ”

Kou Zhun pondered Kou Ji's words and asked, "What's more?" ”

Kou Ji nodded indifferently, "If Grandfather simply wants to solve his urgent needs, he can take the Kong family in Qufu to start......

Kou Zhun stood up abruptly and stared at Kou Ji in disbelief.

Kou Ji smiled dryly: "Grandfather, don't look at me like that, as far as I know, two-thirds of the land in Qufu has fallen into the hands of the Kong family. ”

Kou Zhun stared at Kou Ji and said in a deep voice, "How did you know about this?" ”

Kou Ji said frankly: "I saw it when the Ministry of Officials checked the merit tables and reviews of officials in various places.

The successive officials in Qufu basically had no merits in other aspects, except for their considerable achievements in education.

It is even more useless to deal with agriculture and mulberry.

I figured there was something wrong with this, so I sent someone to investigate.

It was found that two-thirds of the land in Qufu fell into the hands of the Confucian family.

Seventy percent of the people of Qufu are tenants of the Confucian family. ”

When Kou Zhun heard this, he gasped and said, "That's the ...... of the Saint's Courtyard."

Kou Ji stared at Kou Zhun and said, "Grandfather, I am a scholar and a scholar, so we should naturally respect a saint."

There is nothing wrong with writing books and sayings for saints, erecting monuments for saints, and keeping the places where saints sleep safely.

It is understandable to treat the descendants of the saints well and use this to attract scholars from all over the world.

But if you treat the descendants of the saints with kindness and turn it into conniving at the descendants of the saints to oppress the people, it will be a bit too much. ”

When Kou Zhun heard this, his face was cloudy.

Kou Ji continued: "Grandfather and others felt that they were thanking the saints for their efforts in passing on the edification of the saints.

But have you ever thought that you are actually harming people?

You are prospering the children of the saints, but when a war strikes, they are the first to suffer.

For under your protection, they have occupied vast tracts of land, and have amassed innumerable food and money.

Aren't these the things that are most lacking in the time of the war? ”

Kou Ji actually wanted to admonish Kou Zhun with more drastic words, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't say them, but instead used a set of rhetoric that Kou Zhun could accept.

Seeing that Kou Zhun was silent, Kou Ji said again: "Among the four types of people who encroach on the people's fertile land, the born people are the most difficult to deal with.

It was very difficult for Grandfather to want to deal with them without letting them cause trouble to the court. ”

Dropped the words.

Kou Ji stopped talking and exited the study, leaving Kou Zhun alone in the study.

Kou Ji returned to the courtyard with a handbook, got into the study, and began to write a letter to Yang Wenguang.

With the handwritten letter recognized by Zhao Zhen and Kou Zhun, Kou Ji could establish a force of 10,000 soldiers and horses in Baozhou.

Although compared to the number of soldiers and horses in the Great Song Dynasty, this 10,000 people is only a drop in the middle.

But for Kou Ji, with these 10,000 people in hand, he will be more sure-footed.

As long as he builds these 10,000 people well, he can cope with the worst even if it happens.

Kou Ji's purpose in fooling Zhao Zhen to establish a pro-army was to make a name for his two thousand young men who raised horses.

It's just that I didn't expect Zhao Zhen to add it once, and Kou Zhun added it again.

This increased the number to 10,000 at once.

Since he had the authority to organize 10,000 soldiers, Kou Ji didn't plan to waste it.

He wants to try to bring these 10,000 people to the extreme.

wrote to Yang Wenguang to ask Yang Wenguang to select some good soldiers for him.

As for the manpower leading the soldiers and horses, it naturally cannot be Yang Wenguang.

Although Yang Wenguang can concurrently serve as the commander of the two armies.

But Kou Ji did not intend to let Yang Wenguang lead the army of the Son of Heaven.

Kou Ji planned to make Di Qing the commander of the Son of Heaven's army.

Di Qing is too young, although he has experienced several battles, he is still a little weak in leading an army.

So Kou Ji planned to help Di Qing find another lieutenant who was old and serious.

But that's all for later, and there's no rush now.

What we have to do now is to select good people and let Di Qing practice.

At the same time, Kou Ji also planned to write a letter to Di Qing, asking Di Qing to write a letter to Cao Wei and Li Zhaoliang to cry and cry poor, and set out some good soldiers from the two of them to help Di Qing train his troops.

Cao Wei himself is a famous general, and he naturally has many veterans who can fight well.

Although Li Zhaoliang is not a famous general, his father is, and his father must have left him a lot of old pawns.

These people are all talents, there is no reason for them to stay in Bianjing City to eat and wait for death, they should be used.

Di Qing is Cao Wei's protégé, Li Zhaoliang's old friend.

It was far easier for him to ask these two dignitaries than it was for Ko Ji to ask.
