0959 Where Is the Root of the Problem?
There is a group of old servants of the Kou clan living in the bear park.
There are large and small, and the smallest has exceeded the year of its establishment.
They used to be stewards and treasurers of the Ko family's various businesses.
After the Kou clan handed over their family's property to the royal family, they were idle.
Someone broke away from the Kou clan and started a business with some previous connections.
There are also people who return to their hometowns and live a stable life with their families.
There are also people who followed Kou Tianci to Handi.
The rest of the people stubbornly stayed in the Kou clan, thinking that Kou Ji had drained the last drop of blood.
In this matter, Koji did not force anyone.
It's just that the loyalty and courage passed down by the ancients have been integrated into their blood and bones, and they stubbornly believe that only by shedding the last drop of blood for Kou Ji can they be regarded as loyal and brave, and they can be regarded as worthy of Kou Ji.
Koji gave some of the younger ones to the royal family, and the rest were kept in the bear park.
Koji rarely used them, and occasionally asked one or two of them to go out and help with errands.
Most of the time they spend their time in the bear park and take care of the pandas.
Zhao Run, Wang Anshi, and Zeng Gong escorted more than 600,000 yuan into the bear park.
In the bear park, those who bask in the sun, weed, plant flowers, and drink tea, their cloudy eyes instantly become sharp.
They felt the feast slowly approaching them.
On weekdays, they look like an old farmer, but after seeing more than 600,000 yuan of money, they are like a warrior.
They are indeed the warriors of Kofu, the warriors of the mall of Kofu.
Each of them was born and died for the Kou Mansion, and each of them earned a huge amount of money for the Kou Mansion.
Zhao Run, Wang Anshi, and Zeng Gong entered the gate of the Bear Park, and the people in the gate looked at the three of them.
It was obviously a group of people dressed as old servants, but when their eyes fell on the three of them, the three of them felt very dazzling.
When they saw the money behind the three of them, their eyes were even more dazzling.
An old man who bent over like an old farmer bypassed Zhao Run and the others, walked to the side of the ox cart that pulled money, sniffed it, and said with a disgusted face: "The taste is very bad, far worse than the money in the house...... There are about 634,000 ......"
Zhao Run and Wang Anshi looked at the old man like a monster.
Just by looking at it and smelling it, you can distinguish the quality and quantity of money, which is a bit powerful.
As soon as the old man finished speaking, a middle-aged man holding a teapot walked over with a smile and glanced at the copper coins on the ox cart.
"The south and the north are mixed together, there is water and rustic, and the taste is naturally a little worse. Not to mention the comparison with the house, even with the money minted in the palace. However, it is better than copper feet, and it can barely be used, which is not considered black money.
There should be 634,500 ......"
Zhao Run and the others were even more surprised.
Zhao Run couldn't help but open his mouth and said, "How can you tell the difference?" β
The middle-aged man smiled but said nothing.
The old man glanced at Zhao Run, shook his head and said: "The south is humid, and it is easy to grow green hair after a long time, and the north is dry, and the money is black after a long time, and if it encounters water, it will also grow green hair, but the color of green hair is still different......"
Zhao Run's mouth cracked, as if he had seen some treasure, and came to the old man's side, "Money is still divided into north and south, and there are so many doorways?"
So how do you tell the amount of money?
Teach me. β
The old man glanced at Zhao Run, curled the corners of his mouth and ignored it.
Zhao Run's eyes rolled, and he said with a smile: "Three ......"
The old man raised his eyebrows.
Seeing this, Zhao Run immediately added, "Ten ......"
The old man spoke slowly, "There is a saying among the people, called the apprentice of the church, starving the master...... If you want to learn the old man's stunts, I'm afraid I can't do it with ten dollars. β
When the old man spoke, the people in the courtyard looked at him and Zhao Run, and everyone had a smile on their faces.
Zhao Run heard the old man's words, gritted his teeth and said, "Twenty runs, it can't be more." β
The old man didn't speak, and spread out his hand in front of Zhao Run.
Zhao Run didn't say a word, took two ten-run Jiaozi from his arms, and handed them to the old man.
The old man took Jiaozi and identified it, stuffed it into his arms casually, and said to Zhao Run without saltiness: "No other...... Only familiar ......"
Zhao Run's eyes narrowed in astonishment.
Moment.
The people in the bear park burst out laughing.
Zhao Run instantly realized that he had been deceived.
Without waiting for him to speak, he saw the middle-aged man standing next to the old man and said with a smile: "Old Qian, you are a jade dumper, when did you learn to read money?"
In terms of money, it's still the old Chen who is powerful. β
The old man glanced at the middle-aged man dissatisfiedly, "You are a second-class dealer, what qualifications do you have to accuse the old man of not." β
The laughter in the bear park became louder by the way.
Zhao Run wanted to get angry, and his little face turned red.
The middle-aged man saw that Zhao Run was angry, and said to Zhao Run with a smile: "Don't be angry with Lao Qian, what Lao Qian said is right." Looking at the eyes of money, it is indeed practiced a little bit, and there is no shortcut. β
Zhao Run's face darkened, stared at the middle-aged man and asked, "You understand?" β
The middle-aged man smiled and pointed to the old guys in the yard, "The people here, before they had a lot of money in their hands, there were not tens of millions, but millions."
There are all in the eyes of those who look at money and distinguish numbers.
If you want to make money, you have to learn to suffer losses first.
When you've had enough, you'll make money.
You've only been cheated out of 20 times by the old money today.
When Lao Qian got started, he almost even cheated his mother-in-law away. β
Zhao Run heard that the old man who cheated him out of money was miserable back then, and the anger in his heart disappeared instantly.
Zhao Run stared at the middle-aged man with burning eyes, "You don't seem to care about my identity?" β
The smile on the middle-aged man's face remained unchanged, and he said with a smile: "If you open your mouth to tell your identity, we will naturally treat you with another attitude." If you don't open your mouth, we'll treat you as a junior under the Kou Mansion.
The master said, we don't need to be too polite to the younger generations of Koufu. β
Zhao Run nodded, "It seems that you know my identity......"
The middle-aged man smiled but said nothing.
Zhao Run did not reveal his identity as a prince.
He doesn't have great wisdom yet, but he still has small wisdom.
In front of the people of Koufu, being a junior of Koufu is far better than being a prince.
The former are their own people, and the latter are outsiders.
No matter how noble the status is, it is also an outsider.
Zhao Run stared at the middle-aged man and said, "Who are you?" β
The middle-aged man laughed in a low voice and said, "Zhang Cheng, the manager of Xiongyuan......"
Zhao Run was stunned, stared at Zhang Cheng in astonishment, and said with some gaffe: "Zhang Cheng Zhang million?!" It is said that you can get millions of dollars in a day. once created a miracle of collecting tens of millions of dollars in three days? β
Zhang Cheng smiled indifferently: "The money that passes through is the money that passes over, and businessmen value the money more in hand." As for collecting tens of millions of dollars in three days, it was ordered by the official family to sell the family property of several princes.
Not only did he not make any money in the middle, but he also put in thousands of wine money. β
Zhao Run stared at Zhang Chengdao: "I heard that the imperial court wanted to recruit you as an official, but you refused?" β
Zhang Cheng smiled and nodded.
Zhao Run asked, "Why?" β
Zhang Cheng smiled calmly: "The court's Yulu is not as important as his brother. β
Zhao Run nodded with a deep groan, "Indeed, ......"
Zhang Cheng pointed to the money behind Zhao Run, and asked with a smile, "What is Kou Xiang going to do with this money?" β
Zhao Run heard Zhang Cheng mention the matter, and hurriedly repeated Kou Ji's words.
After Zhang Cheng listened to Zhao Run's retelling, he shouted loudly to the old guys behind him whose eyes had already become shining.
"Xiang Kou said, he likes the money of the Bafang Jiaozi Shop, let's go and move it back."
As soon as this remark came out.
The bear park resounded with all sorts of oozing laughter.
It's like a bunch of hungry ghosts ready to go hunting.
Kou Ji instructed Zhao Run and Wang Anshi to watch this matter.
But the three of them found that they didn't need to look at it at all.
The old fellows, who were laughing loudly, stepped forward one by one, pulled on the pile of money, said 'It's mine,' and continued to laugh in the yard.
After the more than 600,000 yuan is divided.
Then a little guy came out and helped them divide and pack the money.
Then with the money on his back, he followed the old guys out of the bear park.
When Zhao Run and Wang Anshi waited for the three people left in the courtyard, they immediately roared and followed.
The three of them followed the old guys to Bianjing City, and saw a series of operations that they couldn't understand.
Kou Ji asked them to deposit the money into the Bafang Jiaozi Shop, and after they entered Bianjing City, they did not save money, but started a business.
The three of them were confused for five days and returned to the bamboo courtyard where Kou Ji was.
In the bamboo courtyard.
Su Jingxian drank the bitter decoction while guiding Di Yong, who was looking around, to read and write.
Su Shi was drooling with a pen, and Kou Hui was eager to try, as if she was ready to snatch something.
Kou Ji sat at the desk, holding a scroll in one hand and a pu fan in the other.
Kou Hui roared and pounced on the braised pork.
Su Shi also left the desk and stumbled towards the braised pork.
When the two little bandits rushed to the desk, the pu fan in Kou Ji's hand covered the braised pork.
Kou Hui stomped her feet unwillingly and said, "Dad, you know that I don't like to read!" β
Kou Ji smiled indifferently and said, "I didn't force you to study." I'm just saying, whoever can write two big characters today will have this braised pork to himself.
You were greedy and wanted to eat meat, so you joined in.
Now that you're in, you have to follow the rules.
I'm not going to break the rules just because you're my daughter. β
Kou Hui stomped her foot angrily, pointed at Su Shi and roared, "Look at him! β
Su Shi's little hand didn't know when he bypassed the pu fan, grabbed a piece of braised pork, and stuffed it into his mouth, his little face and hands were full of oil and water.
Su Shi squinted comfortably while chewing the braised pork.
It seems to be flouting the rules set by Koji.
Propriety?
I'm a yellow-mouthed son, you tell me the rules, haven't you woken up?
Kou Ji said with a smile: "Little guy, if you don't follow the rules, then you will add four more big characters, and by the way, you will be punished for not eating meat for four days." β
When Kou Hui heard that Kou Ji punished Su Shi so harshly, her anger instantly disappeared.
Su Shi didn't care.
Anyway, in just five days, he memorized twenty big characters, fifteen times of long fu copied debts, and it didn't matter if there were more.
A lot of debt is not pressing.
Kou Ji took away the pu fan, patted Su Shi's little hand that was about to continue stealing, and smiled at Kou Hui: "Do you still eat?" β
Kou Hui snorted angrily: "I was caught by someone, I won't eat it...... You ask the kitchen to make me another bowl of ......."
Kou Ji pointed to the desk not far away with a pu fan, and said with a smile: "In view of your evil deeds of robbery, three big characters can be exchanged for a bowl of braised pork." β
"It is not the way of a gentleman to lure him with profit."
Wang Zeng blackened his face and shouted into Kou Ji's study.
Kou Hui saw Wang Zeng and yelled and pounced on Wang Zeng, pretending to cry while accusing Kou Ji of his evil deeds.
Su Shi was also about to cry, but when he saw Kou Ji standing up, his attention changed, so he suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed two pieces of braised pork in the bowl, and ran towards Wang Zeng while stuffing them in his mouth.
Wang Zeng comforted Kou Hui with pity, and at the same time picked up Su Shi who ran towards him, glared at Kou Ji and said, "You are not short of that little money for meat, as for forcing the child to this part?" β
While speaking, Wang Zeng pricked Su Shi with his beard and said, "Look at this little guy, everyone who was forced by you to start being a robber." β
After Kou Ji arched his hand to Wang Zeng, he smiled indifferently and said, "I just want the children to write two more words." β
Wang Zeng blew his beard and glared: "What good children can be taught by luring them with profit?" When the time comes, what is the difference between mercenary and businessmen? Do you want your children to take care of their business?
Children don't learn, beating, scolding, and encouraging, but they can't be tempted to take advantage.
If your mind is full of interests, it is easy to lose your humanity.
LΓΌ Buwei regarded Qin Yiren as a strange commodity.
Do you plan to let your disciples and daughters one day treat you as a strange commodity? β
Kou Ji smiled: "I'm just here to see the children's temperament. β
Wang Zeng was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you see?" β
Kou Ji looked at Su Jingxian, who was teaching Di Yong's words, "Jing Xian repented of his self-denial, he actually wanted to eat braised pork, but I didn't count him, so even if he wanted to eat it very much, he didn't say anything, and he didn't mean to rob it."
Instead, he devoted himself to teaching Di Yong.
So there's no way he's going to treat me like a strange commodity.
Su Shi is a smart child, he doesn't think about changing good things, nor does he think about buying and selling, he likes to get what he wants through his own means.
It's a little clumsy, but it's still young.
It's good to train it later.
He wouldn't treat me like a strange commodity.
As for my daughter, if someone tries to use me as a strange thing to find her, she will probably destroy her by the most violent means. β
Wang Zeng reluctantly agreed with Kou Ji's statement, but he still glared at Kou Ji and snorted: "People's hearts can't withstand temptation the most, and it's better to have less temptation in the future."
There are many temptations, it is easy to cheat, and it is easy to disappoint. β
Kou Ji groaned and nodded.
Wang Zeng put down Su Shi, scratched his nose dotingly, and then said to Kou Ji: "This is not the place to talk......
Kou Ji nodded and said, "Go to the corridor......"
After saying this, Wang Zeng took the lead in rushing to the corridor.
Kou Ji told Kou Hui and Su Jing to take care of their two younger brothers first, and then left the study.
As soon as Kou Ji left, Su Shi quickly ran over and occupied the bowl of braised pork.
Kou Hui went to the kitchen to find the cook to redo it for her.
Su Jing stared at his younger brother and smiled bitterly, and patiently educated Di Yong.
Kou Ji followed Wang Zeng to the corridor and asked Wang Zeng to sit down with the beauty in the corridor.
Kou Ji asked with a smile: "The prince put down his words before, saying that if I use Han Qi's words, I will not have anything to do with my old age." Why are you coming to the door again now? β
Wang Zeng pursed his lips and snorted: "If it weren't for the government, the old man would not have bothered to come to your house." β
Kou Ji said with a smile: "Since I sat in the position of Pingzhangshi under the door of Tongzhongshu, the prince has always called himself 'I' in front of me, why do you use 'old man' now?" β
Wang Zeng blew his beard and glared: "The old man is the same generation as your grandfather, what's wrong with calling himself an old man in front of you?" Isn't this the court? β
Kou Ji shook the fan in his hand and said, "Don't be so angry with the old man, the anger will hurt your body." β
Wang Zeng glanced at Kou Ji with disdain, "It's only spring now, you use a pu fan, and the anger is obviously bigger than that of the old man." β
Kou Ji glanced at the pu fan in his hand and said with a smile: "I used it to repel the taste just now, but I forgot to put it down." β
Wang Zeng was too lazy to bend with Kou Ji anymore, he said straight to the point: "Do you know that Bafang Jiaozipu robbed all the big depositors in Kaifeng Mansion?" β
Kou Ji nodded and said, "I've heard a little about ......"
Wang Zeng said in a deep voice: "They already have the intention of sitting big, and it is time to govern." β
Kou Ji shook his head and smiled: "It's just a bedbug......"
Wang Zeng immediately glared and shouted, "Bed bugs?!" Do you know that in less than half a month, that bed bug has absorbed tens of millions of dollars?
They have also recently started lending money.
If it is allowed to develop, there will always be a day when it will fight against the word Jiaozipu.
The word Jiaozi shop is the important weapon of the country.
It would be a disaster if someone in the private sector controls an equivalent weapon of the state. β
"Actually started lending? Who do you listen to? β
Koji was a little surprised.
He hadn't heard that Bafang Jiaozi Shop also had a lending business.
Wang Zeng said with a gloomy face: "I just started ...... this morning."
Kou Ji exclaimed: "A businessman's sense of smell is keen, and he knows how to lend money through Jiaozipu. β
Kou Ji clearly knows that the most profitable business of Jiaozipu is definitely not storage, but lending.
The interest rate of the Great Song Dynasty was much higher than that of later generations.
Hereafter, interest will be calculated according to a percentage.
Da Song calculates interest according to the ten-point ratio.
The difference is self-evident.
It is precisely because of this that all dynasties and dynasties hated the printing money very much, because once the people were contaminated with the printing money, there was almost no way to live.
It is very common to sell fields and cattle, and sell children and daughters.
Wang Zeng gritted his teeth and said: "Once they are allowed to lay the entire Great Song Dynasty, they will lend money throughout the Great Song Dynasty at that time." At that time, all the money of the Great Song Dynasty will flow into their hands in a steady stream.
And there will be countless people in the world who will become their debtors.
They will choke everyone, and they will also choke the throat of the imperial court. β
Kou Ji groaned: "This matter is really not suitable for the people to grasp, a long time ago, someone in the word Jiaozi shop proposed to lend money to the people, but I refused.
I just don't want Yizipu to be everyone's creditor.
Then the people of the court came to the door to force debts, and there were tragedies all over the world. β
Compared with the green skins of the people who collect debts, the officials and officials of the court will be more ruthless in collecting debts.
The green skins will take care of it when they hurt people's lives, but the officials and officials don't.
Once the mouth is opened, who knows what the people will become.
When the time comes, lifting the door and twisting the lock, like a bandit, I am afraid it is also a very common thing.
It is precisely because of this that Kou Ji is willing to give up the opportunity to make the imperial court make a lot of money, and is unwilling to let go of the loan.
Wang Zeng saw that Kou Ji knew that Bafang Jiaozipu was very powerful, and immediately said: "Since you know the powerful relationship, then you still don't care?" β
Kou Ji glanced at Wang Zeng, and said nonchalantly: "This matter has to be managed, and it is also the official family to take care of it......"
Wang Zeng glared and said: "As a Tongzhongshu, you should take care of all the affairs of the government and the opposition." β
Kou Ji asked rhetorically: "But people haven't violated my Great Song law, you can't let me wronged good people, right?" β
"But their actions have endangered the Jiangshan Sheji of the Great Song Dynasty!"
"It is precisely because of this that the approval of the official family is required."
Wang Zeng arched his hand in the direction of Bianjing City and said: "The old man has already gone to see the official family, and the official family said to let the old man pick someone to deal with this matter." β
The official family is the official family, so it is naturally impossible to deal with this kind of thing in person.
Kou Ji said faintly: "So you took a fancy to me?" β
Wang Zeng nodded unceremoniously.
Kou Ji said with a smile: "Are you going to go down to the Imperial Palace?" β
What Kou Ji said left him speechless.
Kou Ji has a higher official position than him, and he can't instruct Kou Ji.
Wang Zeng stared at Kou Ji for a long time, and shouted in a low voice, "Can't you see the harm in it?!" Do you want to watch the Great Song Dynasty fall into ruin? β
Kou Ji stared at Wang Zeng and said with a serious face: "What if you see it?" Businessmen chase profit and part, you should have heard of it. As long as there are enough benefits for them to earn, they dare to commit the crime of killing their heads.
Today I dealt with an Octagon Jiaozi shop, and tomorrow a Quartet Jiaozi shop will pop up.
The day after tomorrow, there will be three-party, two-party, and even more Jiaozi shops.
As long as they do not break the law, they will open a family and be in the rules.
If today we disobey the rules and disrespect the law, we deal with them.
What credibility do the rules and laws of the imperial court have?
People don't know what's going on.
Don't you know? β
After listening to Kou Ji's words, Wang Zeng's face turned blue and white for a while, and after a long time, he stared at Kou Ji and asked, "Are we going to watch them sit big and become a scourge to the imperial court?" β
Kou Ji said bluntly: "To solve the problem, we must find the root of the problem. In the matter of Jiaozipu, the root is in the law.
If the imperial court had a corresponding set of laws and regulations, then the merchants of the people would not spread Jiaozi everywhere. β
Wang Zeng gritted his teeth and said: "Then first clean up the Bafang Jiaozi Shop, and then formulate a law to prevent the people from opening Jiaozi Shop." β
Kou Ji asked: "Do you think it's a good thing that the Yizizipu family is dominant?" β
Wang Zeng glared and scolded: "So far, the old man has not found out what Yizizipu has done to harm the country and the people. β
