Chapter 0388 - Start with Farming
The reason why Chen Lin chose to pit money from him instead of from others is also clear to Kou Ji.
Although the two often quarrel and often argue, there is more or less friendship between the two.
With these friendships alone, Chen Lin took some money from Kou Ji, and it was nothing.
Chen Lin will definitely not take Kou Ji's money in vain, and if he encounters an opportunity in the future, he will definitely find a way to repay Kou Ji's favor.
In addition, Chen Lin was willing to take money from Kou Ji, and he also expected that Kou Ji would not make conditions with him.
A personal eunuch of an official family like him, once he has financial dealings with others, it is easy for people to be caught as a handle and threaten him, asking him to reveal some of Zhao Zhen's whereabouts, living hours, secrets, etc.
Chen Lin is loyal to Zhao Zhen, so naturally he will not reveal Zhao Zhen's secret.
Naturally, he will not take money from those who will make conditions with him.
After Chen Lin left.
Kou Ji casually picked out a piece of jade, two seals, an ancient painting, and two unique Buddhist scriptures from the pile of gifts placed in the atrium, and put them away.
"The rest, seal it up and send it to Gonggong Chen."
Kou Ji gave an order to the servants who were guarding the gifts, and then told the steward of the house.
Since he knew that Chen Lin was short of money, Kou Ji would not be stingy.
Chen Lin is not an ordinary person, what he needs to do with money is naturally a big deal.
The greed for money that can force him to ignore his face shows that his plans are not small.
Since Kou Ji has the ability to help, he naturally wants to help.
Anyway, he is not short of money now, and he can't look down on ordinary gold and silver goods, and keeping this money is just to add one more number to the account books of the mansion book, and there is no essential change.
The servants heard Kou Ji's command and hurried forward and began to seal the box containing the gifts.
Moments later.
Under the guidance of the housekeeper, the servants carried the box and followed Chen Lin's footsteps out of the door.
As soon as Chen Lin got out of Mahang Street, he saw the servants of Kou Mansion chasing after him.
After seeing the box carried by the servants of Koufu, he was slightly stunned.
Chen Lin stared at the steward of the Kou Mansion and asked, "What does this mean?" Kou Ji wants to bribe the old man? ”
The steward of the Kou Mansion bowed and said with a smile: "My little young master didn't mean that. My little master said that you may need money, so let the little people send it to you.
My young master also said that if the money is not enough, he can find a way to help you get some. ”
Chen Lin saw that a large amount of money was delivered to him, and he didn't move, but stared at the steward of Kou Mansion, and said in a deep voice: "What does Kou Ji want the old man to help him do?" ”
The steward of the Kou Mansion shook his head and said, "My little young master has no plans. My little master said, you are a person with status, you can't lose your identity because of money, and I don't want to see you being manipulated for money. ”
Chen Lin raised his head, took a deep look in the direction of Kou Mansion, and said in a deep voice: "Go back and tell your young master, the old man accepted the money." His favor, the old man received. ”
When the steward of the Kou Mansion heard this, he didn't say anything more, arched his hand at Chen Lin, and left the entrance of Mahang Street with the servants of the Kou Mansion.
left a box containing money for Chen Lin.
A small yellow door beside Chen Lin came to the edge of those boxes with some hot eyes, and said in a low voice: "The Kou Gong Department is really generous......
Chen Lin glanced at Xiao Huangmen without a trace, didn't say much, just ordered someone to carry those boxes, and went to the courtyard outside the palace of the Inner Servant Province.
As the saying goes, wealth moves people's hearts.
The little yellow door saw that Kou Ji was so generous, and thought that Kou Ji was a good blackmailer, so he became greedy.
In the future, if you bump into Kou Ji, you will inevitably have to blackmail one or two.
It's just that he obviously didn't distinguish his identity and status, and he didn't see Kou Ji's identity and status clearly.
If he really did the trick of blackmailing Kou Ji, I was afraid that he would not be able to tolerate him inside and outside the palace.
"Seeing the money...... I don't know what is alive or dead......"
Chen Lin sneered and muttered in a low voice.
He also climbed from a small eunuch to the position of a great eunuch step by step.
He understands the thoughts of those little eunuchs better than anyone else.
Those little eunuchs relied on themselves to be from the palace, so after leaving the palace, they dared to be greedy for anyone's money.
The civil and military ministers outside the palace knew that they were the slaves and maids of the official family, and they were not easy to deal with them, so they would give them all the money.
There are also some people with humble official positions, who are afraid that the little eunuchs will speak ill of themselves after returning to the palace, so they will take the initiative to pay tribute.
In time.
Under the pampering of the ministers of civil and military affairs.
The eunuchs, big and small, became insatiable one by one.
Dare to embezzle any money.
Anyone dares to take their money.
will even risk being killed, stealing things from the palace and selling them.
Every year, more than a dozen eunuchs in the palace will be killed with a rod because of this incident.
Even so, the eunuchs and eunuchs did not relent.
It's just that this time, the little eunuch who was worried about Kou Ji was obviously thinking about the wrong person.
Koji: That's so much to remember?
The grandmother who pricked Kou Ji with a needle in the palace last time is now rotten to dry bones.
There are also two eunuchs who slandered Zhao Zhen into Kou Ji, and now they have become fertilizer, fertilizing the flower fields in the imperial garden.
It was Zhao Zhen who gave the order.
It was Chen Lin who did it.
……
Inside the Koufu.
Kou Ji didn't know that because of his momentary act of giving money, he was actually remembered by a little eunuch.
After Kou Ji took the jade, seal, and solitary book into the study, he put them on the bookshelf in the study.
Koji's study was huge.
It's like a huge library of books.
It's just that there are not only books in the bookstore, but also some ancient books, bamboo slips, antiques and other things.
There are only two shelves for books, but there are dozens of shelves for bamboo slips, ancient books, and antiques.
Those antiques, ancient books and the like were not deliberately collected by Kou Ji.
It was given by others during the New Year's holidays, some of which he accidentally bumped into, and some of which were sent by Zhang Cheng.
Kou Ji's study has become a small museum.
Koji took the things into the study, and put them on the shelves according to their texture and age.
Then I went around to a bookshelf with a lock, opened a cabinet at random, picked and picked in it, took some, and took it out of the door.
Out of the room, Kou Ji commanded Kou Zhong.
"Prepare the sedan car, I want to go to the Ministry of Industry ......"
Kou Zhong immediately sent someone to prepare a sedan chair and sent Kou Ji to the Ministry of Industry.
When Kou Ji arrived at the Ministry of Industry, he saw Wang Yunsheng sitting on a recliner chair, surrounded by a group of subordinate officials and officials holding tea and flattering him.
Kou Jiba clicked his mouth, "Wang Shilang is really comfortable?" ”
Wang Yunsheng was slightly closed, sipping tea, listening comfortably to the flattery of the subordinate officials and officials around him, and suddenly heard Kou Ji's voice.
Keep your eyes open.
I saw Kou Ji's smiling face.
"Go away, go away......"
Wang Yunsheng hurriedly got up, put down the teacup, drove away the subordinate officials and officials around him, walked quickly in front of Kou Ji, and bowed down.
"Xiaguan Wang Yunsheng, I've seen Shangguan."
Wang Yunsheng gave a salute, and did not forget to greet the subordinate officials and officials behind him, "What are you doing one by one, haven't you come to see Shangguan?" ”
The subordinate officials and officials of the Ministry of Industry hurriedly stepped forward in groups and bowed down.
Kou Ji waved his hand, "Don't be polite, do what you need to do." ”
When the subordinate officials and officials of the Ministry of Industry heard this, they bowed down and withdrew from the class room one by one.
They can tout Wang Yunsheng and twitter around Wang Yunsheng, but it doesn't mean that they can do the same in front of Kou Ji.
One comes.
They are not very familiar with Kou Ji, they don't know Kou Ji's temperament, and they don't dare to approach Kou Ji.
Secondly.
Kou Ji had stayed in two yamen before, but he didn't leave a good reputation.
But all the yamen he has been to, whether it is an official or a small official, has been tossed by him enough.
If the life of the serious person is not guaranteed, the minor case will be dismissed from office.
Naturally, they didn't dare to get close to Kou Ji.
I'm afraid that I will say the wrong thing, or do something that makes Kou Ji uncomfortable and will be cleaned up by Kou Ji.
After the subordinate officials and petty officials of the Ministry of Industry left.
There are only two people left in the class room, Wang Yunsheng and Kou Ji.
Wang Yunsheng eagerly invited Kou Ji to sit down, poured tea for Kou Ji, and said with a smile: "Shangguan, why do you have time to come to our yamen?" ”
Kou Ji sipped his tea while squinting at him, and said, "Why, I can't come yet?" ”
Wang Yunsheng hurriedly said: "That's not what Xia Guan meant. ”
Kou Ji took a sip of tea and smiled indifferently: "Forgive me for not daring to ......."
"That's that...... We're a family......"
“……”
Kou Ji was a little unaccustomed to Wang Yunsheng's eager expression, and after taking a few sips of tea, he asked: "I heard that in recent days, when you took the officials and officials of the Ministry of Industry to re-measure the fields outside the city, did you make a lot of oil and water?" ”
When Wang Yunsheng heard this, he immediately said seriously: "The lower officials did everything you ordered. shouldn't be fished, and I didn't dare to catch a penny. ”
Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said, "You didn't let go of any of them, right?" ”
Wang Yunsheng smiled dryly: "Naturally, Shangguan and your share are indispensable, and when you turn around, Xiaguan will send someone to send your share to the house." ”
Kou Ji waved his hand and said, "No need...... With that money, I can buy all the fields around Ruishengzhuang outside the city, and it may be useful in the future. ”
The money obtained by embezzlement and perversion of the law, Kou Ji is not willing to move back to the house.
But if you don't take it, Wang Yunsheng and others may not rest assured.
So Kou Ji asked Wang Yunsheng to use the money to buy land.
In the future, I will find an opportunity to allocate these fields to Ruisheng Village and distribute them to those people.
It should be regarded as accumulating merit for Wang Yunsheng and others.
Wang Yunsheng heard Kou Ji's order, and hurriedly said, "The lower officials must handle this matter properly." ”
Kou Ji nodded and continued, "Now that the government affairs of measuring the land are nearing completion, most of you are also idle. I've just found you something to do.
An errand related to the Ministry of Works. ”
Hearing that it was an errand related to the Ministry of Industry in the future, Wang Yunsheng immediately pricked up his ears.
Since Kou Ji took charge of the Ministry of Industry, he has helped the Ministry of Industry to regain a lot of power, and has also obtained many lucrative errands.
Wang Yunsheng took advantage of this to eat with a mouth full of oil.
often sighs secretly: There are people in the court who are good officials......
Now that Kou Ji specially ordered the errand to come down, it was either related to the power grabbing of the Ministry of Works, or it was related to the lucrative errand, how could he not care?
"Shangguan just commands ......"
Wang Yunsheng said respectfully.
Kou Ji nodded, took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve, and handed them to Wang Yunsheng.
Wang Yunsheng looked at the things on the paper and said suspiciously: "Plow? ”
Don't wait for Koji to speak.
Wang Yunsheng stared at the plow on the paper with heavy eyes, and said in a deep voice: "It seems to be different from the plow used by the people?" ”
Kou Ji pointed to one of the pictures and introduced: "The iron plough eliminates the original plough arrows, digs a hole in the middle of the plough tip, and uses a wooden wedge to fix the iron wheel and adjust the depth, so that the structure of the plough body is simplified without affecting the efficiency of cultivated land, and it also makes the plough more durable and durable, which prolongs the use time."
Using this plough to plough the land is more time-saving and labor-saving than the curved plough used by the people now.
What's more, the cost of making a plow can be saved. ”
Wang Yunsheng opened his mouth wide in astonishment.
Since ancient times, China has always been a large agricultural country.
The ancients relied more heavily on agriculture.
What does it mean to update a farming tool, Wang Yunsheng knows very well.
A merit, a great merit, a merit enough to go down in history.
"This ...... This...... This ......"
Wang Yunsheng nervously pinched the drawings in his hand, and was a little excited and speechless.
Although the drawings were made by Kou Ji, Kou Ji obviously wanted to give this thing to him to make.
Although he couldn't grab the first credit, just a little credit was enough for him to become an official and a knight.
How could he not be excited.
Kou Ji pursed his lips and said, "Don't worry about getting excited, take a look at the ones below." ”
Wang Yunsheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and hurriedly followed Kou Ji's instructions to look through the following photos.
The same is the plow.
It's just different from the original plow.
The plow on the drawings, is double-sided.
Kou Ji didn't wait for Wang Yunsheng to open his mouth excitedly, and said frankly: "The double-sided plow is better than the iron plow, and if you use it to plow the ground, the efficiency is far higher than that of the iron plow." However, it has a disadvantage, that is, it is difficult to use it for a long time with a single manpower.
Cattle and horses must be used to pull the plow. ”
"Goo-toot!"
Wang Yunsheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and he was so excited that he couldn't help himself.
Compared with the double-sided plow, the shortcomings of the double-sided plough are completely negligible.
Today's Great Song Dynasty, although it has not yet reached the level that every household has one cultivated animal, but among the three or five households, there must be one household with one cultivated animal.
When the people are busy with farming, they often borrow and rent other people's farm animals to help their own families farm, which is a common thing.
So the disadvantages of double-sided ploughs are completely negligible.
Once the double-sided plough is successfully built and the trial is successful, it will be pushed to the entire Song Dynasty, which will inevitably bring new changes to the farming of the Great Song Dynasty.
With the help of double-sided ploughs, the people were able to cultivate more land, open up more wasteland, and grow more food.
It can be said that whether it is the iron plough taken out by Kou Ji or the double-sided plow, they are all sharp weapons for the benefit of the country and the people.
Such a sharp weapon for the benefit of the country and the people, once it is used by the people.
The imperial court will inevitably give the Ministry of Industry officials and knights, and reward them heavily.
Otherwise, tens of thousands of Li people in the world will not agree.
