Chapter 0340 - It is better to exhort than to tie up
When Kou Ji arrived at Ruisheng Garden, he didn't see what the man patrolling the horse guard saw.
What he saw was a bunch of unkempt men wailing and crying.
They seemed to have endless words, dragging the grim-faced officials and talking vigorously.
Most of the talk is nonsense, but they just can't stop.
Although the officials looked grim, they were actually shocked in their hearts.
It's just that after locking people up for a few days, it has become like this, and the power of this small house is a bit powerful.
The officials were the first to see Kou Ji, and after they saw Kou Ji, they decisively bowed down and saluted.
Those homeless people who came out of the small house trembled when they heard the words 'Kou Gong Ministry', and they didn't dare to look up at Kou Ji.
One by one, they hung their heads deeply, trembling all over, and saluted Kou Ji obediently.
In an instant, the officials had a new understanding of the role of the small house.
They glanced at each other, and planned to tell the officials of the criminal department who had befriended them about this method after returning to the yamen.
Kou Ji took a closer look at the homeless people, and saw that they were indeed unharmed, so he lost interest in them.
He instructed the officials: "Take them down, assign them to Chen Jing and the others, and let Chen Jing and the others watch and arrange some work for them." ”
After a pause, Kou Ji pointed to Peng Yue, who was a little pale and in a better state than other homeless people, and said, "You stay." ”
Peng Yue gritted his teeth, didn't speak, and didn't move when he stood still.
He has been on the battlefield and seen great horrors, so his ability to resist pressure is far better than that of other homeless, and his state is also better than that of other homeless.
The officials agreed, and left with the homeless.
These homeless people, who were still very noisy when they were stirring up trouble and fighting before, were docile like sheep and left with the officials.
After the homeless people left, Kou Ji paced in front of Peng Yue and asked coldly, "Do you know why this official didn't kill you?" ”
Peng Yue slowly raised his head, looked at Kou Ji, and said in a deep voice: "You want to use grass people." ”
Kou Ji snorted coldly, "You are smart enough to guess the thoughts of this official." ”
Peng Yue lowered his head slightly and said in a low voice: "Your mind is obvious, you don't need to guess more." ”
He raised his head again, stared at Kou Ji, and said, "Although you deceived the grass people and others, you are a good official, and the grass people can be driven by you." But ......"
When Peng Yue said this, his tone was stunned, his eyes stared straight at Kou Ji, and he said loudly: "But the grass people will not set foot in the ranks again." ”
Kou Ji frowned when he heard this.
The reason why he left Peng Yue's life was because Peng Yue had been in the Jingsai Army and had led troops, and he planned to let him go to the Tiger Army for guidance.
But when Peng Yue opened his mouth, he blocked his intentions.
Obviously, Peng Yue guessed that Kou Ji was likely to let him get involved in the army, so he rejected Kou Ji in advance.
Kou Ji's face turned cold, "You are not afraid that the official will lock you up again or kill you." ”
Peng Yue stared at Kou Ji seriously and shook his head slowly.
If he was afraid of death, he would not have taken a knife to Kou Ji when there was no food in the place where the displaced people were settled.
Kou Ji frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "What have you experienced in the Jingsai Army?" ”
Peng Yue's face struggled, and he gritted his teeth and said: "In the battle of Lanyuan in the past, the prison army killed the head of my family despite the opposition of our brother, and used the head of my family army to force our brother to drag his tired body and fight with the Liao people.
More than 1,000 grass brothers died tragically under the sword of the Liao.
Far from being held accountable for this, the prison army rose step by step after the Battle of Lanyuan.
Pity the head of my family's army, who has made countless meritorious contributions to the Great Song Dynasty, and said that he was beheaded if he was beheaded, and he didn't even have a place to tell his grievances.
Seeing that the prison officer was rising higher and higher, the grave of my military head was covered with barren grass, and he didn't even dare to erect a monument.
The grass people asked to remove their armor and quit the Jingsai army, not wanting to work for the court anymore. ”
When Kou Ji heard this, he sighed slightly in his heart.
The graves of the loyal and brave are barren and grassy, and the traitors are on the clouds.
How can it not be chilling?
If it were him, he would definitely have reversed.
Peng Yue just quit the army, and didn't go to kill the traitor with a knife, which was already very restrained.
Kou Ji stared at Peng Yue and said, "Who is that traitor?" The officer was eager to see him. ”
Peng Yue said in a deep voice: "That traitor is dead......
Kou Ji was stunned, nodded, and said, "That's good...... Otherwise, the official will inevitably have to fight with him. ”
Kou Ji stared at Peng Yue and continued: "Although you are reluctant to go to the army, this official still hopes that you will get involved in the army again. I can assure you that in the new army, the kind of thing you mentioned will not happen. ”
Peng Yue gritted his teeth and shook his head decisively.
Kou Ji stared at Peng Yue and said, "Do you remember the old man who slapped you?" ”
Peng Yue nodded.
Kou Ji said: "The army that this official asked you to go to is the army he is staying in." I believe you can see clearly how the men he led are. ”
Hearing that Kou Ji was going to let him go to the old man's army, Peng Yue was a little stunned.
His mind faltered for a moment.
He was able to give up his official title in a fit of anger for the sake of his military leader, which shows that he also has affection in his heart.
When you meet someone like the old man, you naturally have a feeling of closeness.
But when he thought of the scene when his military leader died tragically, his eyes became extremely determined.
"Forgive me!"
Peng Yue arched his hand to Kou Ji and said stiffly.
Kou Ji saw that Peng Yue couldn't listen to what he said, so he sighed and said, "This official gives you three days, you think about it carefully." Three days later, they were leaving Bianjing.
If you miss this opportunity, you will only be able to live in a mess for the rest of your life. ”
Leaving this sentence, Kou Ji put his hands behind his back and left the place.
He looked around the place where he was encamped, and when he saw that the old man was counting the food money given by the imperial court, he stepped forward.
"The court is generous, right?"
Kou Ji asked with a smile.
When the old man saw Kou Ji, he first put down the copper coin in his hand, saluted Kou Ji, and then said with a bright smile: "Be generous...... Generous...... Xiao Lao'er didn't expect that our grain could be sold at such a high price. ”
The imperial court used the market price of the grain in Bianjing City to purchase the grain of the soldiers and civilians of Baozhou.
The grain in Bianjing City, after the flood, soared all the way to a terrifying number.
The old man and the others naturally got a lot of money.
Kou Ji said with a smile: "I heard that after you didn't want to be an official, the imperial court exempted the military and civilians of Baozhou from food tax for half a year. ”
The old man grinned and nodded.
The imperial court first reduced their grain tax for three years, and then added another six months.
They were exempted from food tax for three and a half years.
For three and a half years, there is no need to pay food, and if there is no disaster, it will be enough for the military and civilians in Baozhou to get rich quickly.
Seeing the old man's bright smile, Kou Ji continued: "What's even more generous is that the imperial court also sent a heavy armored cavalry to you. ”
The old man was stunned for a moment, then glared in vain, and said in disbelief: "Really? ”
The population of the Great Song Dynasty was tens of millions, and the number of soldiers and horses supported was as high as millions.
But the heavy cavalry had only 3,000 men.
How can it not be precious?
Perhaps in the eyes of the imperial court, the heavy armored cavalry is just a soldier and horse used by the imperial court, but in the eyes of an old man like an old man, the heavy armored cavalry is the fierce pawn of the fierce soldiers.
Kou Ji nodded and said: "It is still a heavy armored cavalry who has experienced wars, and it is said that at the time of the Battle of Lanyuan, he was already the head of the Jingsai army. ”
The old man lost his voice and said, "Where is it?" ”
The old man said with some excitement: "Little old man has to go and meet." ”
An officer in the Jingsai army, who has also experienced a big war, is even more precious.
Kou Ji smiled: "It's the one you slapped before." ”
The old man's eyes widened in astonishment.
Kou Ji smiled and said, "Now you understand why I didn't let you kill him in the first place, right?" ”
The old man nodded heavily.
Kou Ji smiled and said: "It's just that people don't seem to be willing to get involved in the army, whether you can bring people back depends on your ability." ”
When the old man heard this, his eyes wandered.
Koji walked away with his hands behind his back.
He has already said what he should say, and there is no need to stay any longer.
He believed that with the old man's attention to the soldiers of the Tiger Army, he would definitely try to get Peng Yue to Baozhou.
After all, with this kind of fierce pawn teaching, the strength of the soldiers of the Tiger Army can be greatly improved.
After going to the battlefield, you will definitely be able to kill a few fewer enemies and kill a few more enemies.
After giving the old man eye medicine, Kou Ji returned to his tent, carefully watching the movement.
He planned to see what method the old man would use to get Peng Yue to Baozhou.
However.
After all, he underestimated the old man's attention to the soldiers of the Tiger Army.
The old man didn't think of a way at all.
After learning that Peng Yue was such a talent, he led dozens of people that night and rushed to the house where Peng Yue lived and tied Peng Yue.
Reasonable?
How to grind hard bubbles?
The old man didn't even think about it.
Let's get people back first.
Even if you want to be reasonable, you have to wait for Peng Yue to be in Baozhou before reasoning with him.
When the time comes, they will have enough time and enough manpower to reason with Peng Yue.
After helping Peng Yue, he was afraid that Peng Yue would run away, so the old man didn't stay long.
The next day, he resigned with Kou Ji.
With some dry food, he drove the carriage, loaded Peng Yue in a grain bag, and hurried out of Bianjing City.
Kou Ji looked at the back of the old man and the others and smiled knowingly.
No matter how resolute Peng Yue's attitude is, he still has to become a member of the Tiger Army in the end.
After sending off the old man and his party.
Kou Ji began to worry about the affairs of the displaced people again.
Now that the displaced people have been settled, it is time to help them find something to do.
The women had been idle for several days after collecting all the firewood around Bianjing.
Kou Ji first found Chen Jing, Wang Tiansheng and others.
Then he found the craftsmen and led them to a clearing.
The construction of a textile workshop was planned.
Textile workshops have to be used for a long time, so they can't be done in a hasty way like building houses for displaced people.
It is necessary to dig the foundation deeply, pave the ground with bluestone, build the wall with bluestone, and glutinous rice mirage mortar.
Mirage is something similar to lime.
The performance is far superior to lime.
The reason why Koji uses mirage instead of cement is not that he can't burn cement.
But because cement calcination takes time, and he also needs to make many attempts before he can burn the suitable cement.
He can afford to wait, but the outcasts can't afford to wait.
So he decisively used glutinous rice mirage mortar.
Mirage, there is a lot of stock in Bianjing City.
It can be accessed at any time.
What's more, in terms of bonding, glutinous mirage mortar is actually better than cement.
The walls built with it can stand for a hundred years.
If the wall is built and poured with copper juice, it can ensure that the wall will not fall down for hundreds of years.
It's just that the cost of mirage is higher than that of cement, so it can't be widely used like cement.
The reason why Koji used stone walls in the workshop was also to avoid being burned in the event of a fire.
At the same time, in order to set fires, Koji also designed several circular waterways around the stone wall.
The craftsmen in the house told Kou Ji that some large families, in order to set fires, would build waterways in some places that were prone to fire.
Kou Ji decisively took his suggestion and added a waterway around the workshop to prevent fire.
The roof is still in the traditional herringbone shape.
It is built with wood, grass, pulp, and tiles.
Since it was used for tens of thousands of women and women, thousands of workshops needed to be built.
The amount of work is much larger than when the house was built before.
After urging the craftsmen to measure the place, Kou Ji asked some craftsmen in the house to start breaking ground with the homeless people.
In addition to this, Koji asked the remaining craftsmen to start making three-spindle pedal spinning wheels and looms based on the drawings he had made.
After everything was dealt with, Kou Ji handed over the work of supervision to the staff of the Ministry of Works, the director of the Ministry of Works, and other subordinate officials and abbots.
He entered the city of Bianjing in the evening.
Kou Ji has been away from home for many days, and although his home is close by, he has no time to enter the house.
In the past, he watched Dayu control the water three times and did not enter the house, when this allusion, he always felt that the description was a bit exaggerated.
It wasn't until he really carried the lives of hundreds of thousands of displaced people on his shoulders that he understood.
Dayu controls the water, and it is not an exaggeration to pass the door three times without entering.
Because the people who suffered from the flood were more important than his personal feelings.
Koji returned to the house
Xiang Yan hurriedly welcomed him into the door, and urged the maids in the house to quickly boil water for Kou Ji and let Kou Ji wash.
At the same time, he took out a few more clean clothes and let Kou Ji choose.
Kou Ji washed up and changed into dry clothes.
As soon as she went out, Xiang Yan stepped forward and said while helping Kou Ji tidy up her clothes: "Grandfather has returned home, send someone to summon you over and eat in the main hall." ”
Kou Ji said with some surprise: "The government is the busiest time now, how can my grandfather have time to go home?" ”
Xiang Yan winked playfully, "The concubine guesses that eighty percent of it has something to do with you." ”
Kou Jihu said suspiciously: "I'm not in Bianjing City these days. ”
Xiang Yan seemed to have thought of something interesting, covered her mouth and snickered, but didn't explain much.
