After Kou Ji finished speaking, Wang Zeng's face was very ugly, he gritted his teeth and said: "The old man admits that the old man and the others are not as good as you ...... combined."

After saying this, Wang Zeng no longer concealed it, he said viciously: "But the imperial power must be restrained, if it is not restrained, let the emperor govern the country by his temperament, sooner or later he will be ruined."

The old man knows that you have great respect for Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Che pushed the Han to the top, but the people did not become rich because of this.

So Han died because of his strength. ”

Kou Ji questioned: "But you have taken away some of the imperial power, but you have not made the people rich. You're just making yourself rich. You just took power from the emperor, and then the emperor oppressed the people, and it became you to oppress the people.

The consequences were far greater than the emperor's oppression of the people, which also led to the frequent emergence of civil rebels.

What's even more sad is that you have done something wrong, and you don't know how to repent, but you just try your best to maintain the wobble forward of the broken ship of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

After listening to Kou Ji's words, Wang Zeng's face became even more ugly.

Wang Zeng gritted his teeth and said, "The old man is different from them. ”

Kou Ji said unceremoniously: "You are different from them, but an official like you, how many people are there in the government and the opposition?" If you are an official outside the political hall, you have done everything yourself, sitting and watching the country fall, and watching the moths frantically gnaw on the Great Song Dynasty.

There is nothing wrong with that.

But you are the prime minister of the political hall, and you have the responsibility to reverse the current situation of the Great Song Dynasty.

You can't shirk it. ”

Wang Zeng said with some anger: "The old man is doing ......"

Kou Ji asked rhetorically, "What are you doing?" Is it good to persuade? Tell those doctors who are used to eating human flesh and drinking human blood to change to vegetarian diet, do you think they will listen to you?

You are not a child, you should know that if you help them eat meat and drink blood, they will listen to you, and once you go against their will, they will turn against you.

The officials just didn't let them engage in business, and they set off such a big change, almost causing a rebellion in Bianjing.

If you don't let them eat flesh and drink blood, do you believe they will eat you alive?

I know that your old man cares about his family and country, and he doesn't want to see too much killing.

But you should also understand what is called a serious illness that requires drastic medicine.

Now, I don't want to discuss this with you anymore, because even if you force you to die, you can't change the will of me and the official family.

None of the people who should be killed will live.

None of those who deserve to live will die.

I just want to know now, why did your old man often jump out to embarrass me after he saw me in Liaoyang Mansion? ”

Wang Zeng closed his eyes in pain, gritted his teeth and said, "You and the official family are not in awe......"

Kou Ji was speechless, staring at Wang Zeng.

Wang Zeng spoke again, "You and the officials have no fear of human life, and must be restrained. You already hold the power of life and death for everyone in the world, if you don't restrain yourself and let you go to kill, I don't know how many people will die. ”

Kou Ji frowned and said, "I'm not a murderous person......"

Wang Zeng suddenly opened his eyes, glared at Kou Ji and asked, "If the old man doesn't stop it, can the people who were instigated at the gate of Jinshui Bridge live?" ”

Kou Ji confessed: "No! ”

Wang Zeng said sharply: "Then you still say that you don't love to kill?" They are only instigated by men, and their sins are not unto death. ”

Koji frowned and said nothing.

Wang Zeng chattered endlessly: "The official family is a dragon, and it rains clouds and rains, and it rains down the wrath of thunder, and that is his power." So even if the official family is thirsty for killing, the old man can tolerate it.

But as a ruler, not only do you not restrain the official family, but your murderous nature is greater than that of the official family, and the old man will find it difficult to tolerate it.

The emperor was furious, and millions of corpses were floated.

With your Kou Ji's assistance, I'm afraid that millions won't be able to stop it.

Those are the people of my Great Song Dynasty, not barbarians outside the territory.

We can do whatever it takes to revive the art of tyranny and hegemony against the barbarians, and even exterminate the clan.

But for us Song people, we must always maintain a mercy.

Whoever sins unto death should be judged according to the law, and those who are not punishable must be carefully examined before they are killed. ”

Kou Ji pondered for a long time, and slowly spoke, "You go to the punishment department." In the future, the official family and I will try not to kill anyone, and if we want to deal with anyone, we will hand it over to the Criminal Department, and you will carefully check it and punish it in accordance with the law of the country. ”

Although Kou Ji didn't agree with Wang Zeng's words, Wang Zeng's words did touch him.

He and Zhao Zhen really didn't show much mercy in killing.

Some people who have a chance to live, fall into their hands, and indeed die.

In order to shock the world, he and Zhao Zhen were really ruthless.

It's also a good thing to have a king watching from the sidelines.

He and Zhao Zhen are used to killing people, and some people remind them from the side, lest the two of them kill any heinous crimes.

Wang Zeng heard Kou Ji's words, tilted his head and said, "The old man has decided to beg for bones......"

Kou Ji glanced at Wang Zeng and said lightly, "Can I help you?" ”

Wang Zeng said angrily: "Can't the old man decide whether he wants to stay or not? ”

Kou Ji said nonchalantly: "You can beg to go, but when I and the official family kill people in the future, I will tell the world that this is your suggestion." ”

Wang Zeng was almost angry and vomited blood by Kou Ji's words, "Everyone in the world knows that the old man is not that kind of cool official!" ”

Kou Ji said indifferently: "The official family printed 10 million copies of the newspaper and distributed it to all prefectures, counties, and villages. I think this is an industry that is beneficial to the Great Song Dynasty.

Therefore, the simple official family set up a book and newspaper shop to convey the current affairs and important news of the imperial court to every common people in the form of a newspaper.

The first batch of students of folk Mongolian studies has reached the end of their studies, and there will be more and more readers in my Great Song Dynasty in the future.

I believe that in the near future, everyone in my Song Dynasty will be literate.

Everyone will understand the books and newspapers issued by the bookstore.

Every day, I have people publish an article in the book and newspaper about you persuading the official family to kill me.

What do you think will be the effect? ”

Wang Zeng almost didn't vomit blood by Kou Jiqi, he blew his beard and glared at Kou Ji and roared, "You! You! Shame on you! ”

Kou Ji didn't seem to hear Wang Zeng's words, and continued to himself: "By the way, tell those old pedantics who want to be famous, let them do things obediently, and don't mess around."

Otherwise, I'll ruin their reputation. ”

Wang Zeng got up from the bed angrily and yelled at Kou Ji, "Do you want to be a powerful minister?!" ”

Kou Ji smiled indifferently: "I'm not interested, when I help the Great Song Dynasty on the right path, I will leave Bianjing City and go to Han Land to govern my fiefdom."

My grandfather was a very powerful minister, and he decisively withdrew, so he became a saint.

If I had followed the example of my grandfather and had withdrawn from the reign of the Great, I would have been able to transcend the Holy Age.

One door and two saints, the Kou family is destined to be admired by generations of people.

My grandfather and I are also destined to be enshrined on the altar by countless descendants in the future.

Compared to this, the minister is a fart?

When I am old, sitting in the position of a powerful minister, I am destined to be targeted by all of you, and I will be strictly guarded by all of you.

I might as well step away and stand on the sidelines and let all of you respect me.

Although there is no power in his hands, there are no high-ranking officials and lords on his head.

But when everyone saw me, they had to bow down and call me an ancestor.

I've become an ancestor, let them do something, they won't refuse, right?

When the time comes, I can do whatever I want, which is far more interesting than being a minister. ”

After listening to Kou Ji's words, Wang Zeng was shocked and angry.

He pointed at Kou Ji and shuddered, unable to say a word.

In the end, he simply threw himself on the bed and pretended to pass out.

A powerful minister who wants to jump out of the Three Realms, he has no temper at all.

Seeing this, Kou Ji didn't stay longer, but just said to Wang Zeng, "Tomorrow remember to go to the Ministry of Officials to sit in the office, the Ministry of Officials will be transferred to the Ministry of Rites, and Chen Zhizhong, the Secretary of the Ministry of Rites, will be transferred to the Ministry of Officials as the left waiter." ”

"The old man won't be your lackey!"

"When the book and newspaper came out, the first article was written "Wang Gong Concert Please Change the Treatise on Commercial Law" ......"

"The old man is going to Handi to find Kou Zhun Theory!!"

"Hahaha......"

“……”

Kou Ji laughed and left the palace, and told the groom to drive back to the bamboo courtyard.

As soon as I returned to the Bamboo Courtyard, I found that several students were there.

One by one looked at him with reverence.

Kou Ji led them to the study and asked indifferently, "What?" Flowers on my face? ”

Zhao Run said with some excitement: "Sir, you were too majestic two days ago, one person in one town and one city, and the people in the city trembled. ”

Kou Ji smiled and said: "What majesty I have, it's just with the prestige of the soldiers." If there were no soldiers to cheer me on, no one in Bianjing City would be afraid of me. ”

Zhao Run immediately retorted: "It's not...... My queen mother said that there can be such a majestic person in Bianjing City, just you and my father. My queen mother also said that from the founding of the Great Song Dynasty to the present, there has been such a majestic minister, only you.

Even Zhao Pu, who was in power in the past, is far worse than you. ”

Kou Ji shook his head with a smile and said, "Nonsense......"

Zhao Run said stubbornly: "I think what my mother said is right. ”

Kou Ji didn't pay attention to Zhao Run, but looked at Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong.

Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong stared at him with straight faces, their eyes full of respect.

Kou Ji smiled and said, "Do you feel like giving birth to a big husband?" ”

Wang Anshi said unceremoniously: "Yes!" ”

Zeng Gong said very humbly: "Don't dare to think about it! ”

Kou Ji laughed, "Whether you dare to think or not, don't think about it." I did this because of the trust of the officials.

If you follow my example, you will die a miserable death. ”

Wang Anshi said seriously: "I think it's Mr.'s credit there, and no one dares to be disrespectful." ”

Zeng Gongshen nodded approvingly.

Kou Ji shook his head with a smile, didn't say anything more, led them to the study, and after assigning them homework, let them study.

Kou Ji sat in his study, pondering the laws of business, and at the same time paying attention to the movements outside Bianjing City.

The commercial laws of the Great Song Dynasty were very simple, and most of them seemed ambiguous, and there were many scary loopholes that could be exploited in them.

Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen are not so much revising the commercial law as reinventing the commercial law.

Kou Ji himself studied in the mansion for a while, and then went to the officials of the government hall and the household department, as well as Fan Zhongyan, the envoy of the tax department who had been exposed, to study for many days.

Eventually, a new commercial law began to be drafted.

It is worth mentioning that although Wang Zeng had a hard mouth, he finally obediently ran to the ministry to serve as the secretary of the ministry.

His position as governor was still retained, but he never went to the political hall again, and the political hall became a hall of words for Kou Ji alone.

As Kou Ji drafted the commercial law, the turmoil in Bianjing City finally calmed down.

Except for the beheading of some officials, the court was completely reduced to a place where Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji spoke, there were no other changes.

Now that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all carrying their tails between their legs, no one should say what Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen said.

Bianjing City is calm.

But the local turmoil has only just begun.

As Zhao Zhen's iron law continued to spread to the local area, local officials and wealthy families resolutely resisted.

They didn't care about the consequences of resisting Zhao Zhen at all.

Because various previous experiences have shown that as long as they unite to resist the imperial court, it will be the imperial court that will eventually succumb.

However, they obviously did not clearly realize that the current court is very different from before.

The current court will not compromise with them.

They wanted to use rumors to incite the people to stir up trouble.

This is their usual trick.

People often do a lot of things for them because of the rumors they put out.

For example, gathering a crowd to make trouble, rioting and hurting others, or rebellion.

After they learned about the imperial decree, they quickly released the rumors.

It's just that before the rumors spread all over the place, they were quickly strangled to death.

A piece of Di Bao appeared in the hands of each family, and through the mouths of the literate Mengtong in their family, they easily knew the content of the Di Bao.

After learning that the officials were going to deal with those officials who ate people and drank blood, the people clapped their hands and stood aside decisively, watching with great interest the drama of the officials being punished by the imperial court.

No matter how the officials and the wealthy behind the officials instigated, the people did not make trouble.

In the end, the officials and the wealthy families behind the officials gathered the servants and tenants of the family, and spent money to hire a group of ordinary people, and began to make trouble together.

However, not waiting for them to commit murder.

The local soldiers and horses entered the various cities in a hurry, and quickly dispersed them.

The local inspector was forced by the local soldiers and horses and the people of the Wu De Division to arrest the mastermind behind the troublemakers.

If the officials and the wealthy families behind the officials fail to make trouble, they can only use the strike to threaten each other.

They thought that if they went out of business, local commerce would be paralyzed, and other industries would be greatly affected and paralyzed.

But they miscalculated.

After their strike, a group of red-eyed merchants who were waiting to make a fortune poured into their town, and instead of them, they propped up the local business.

They received a promise from the imperial court and signed a contract with the imperial court.

They have escaped from the homes of the powerful.

Now is the time to show off your strength and earn your own business, no one will give up this great opportunity to seize the market, and no one is willing to give up this opportunity to become a rich family.

The first place to establish it was the grain store.

When the officials and the wealthy families behind the officials saw that the new grain stores were peddling the old grain in the regular closing positions, they despaired.

No matter how rich they are. is not rich in the imperial court.

Even if they can hoard grain, they can't compare to the court's regular liquidation.

Not to mention the Cochin Province in the southeast corner, a large amount of grain will be transported to the Great Song Dynasty every quarter.

After Cai Qi arrived in Jiaozhi, other government affairs were temporarily put aside, and he first led people to plant the grain fields that had been cultivated in Jiaozhi.

Then while continuing to cultivate grain fields, others were developed.

Cai Qi has been in Jiaozhi for half a year, and he has cut one stubble of grain, and the second stubble is almost ripe.

Cochin grain yield is very high.

But the population is very small.

Therefore, after leaving enough daily food for the people of Jiaozhi, Cai Qi sold all the remaining grain to the imperial court in one go.

The price is outrageously low.

The most important thing is that the water transportation has low consumption and low freight.

Therefore, after the grain of Jiaozhi entered the Great Song Dynasty, the grain of the Great Song Dynasty was unprecedentedly abundant.

Kou Ji immediately asked the local general to pour out the old grain that was often closed and hoard new grain.

The newly opened grain stores in the local areas used the old grain in the imperial court's regular liquidation to sell on a large scale, completely reducing the local grain prices by half.

It also completely destroyed the intention of those officials and the wealthy families behind the officials to create a food shortage and force the court to soften.

There is a way to have food in your hands, and you don't panic in your heart.

The local people will not be worried because they are hungry, and it is impossible for them to make trouble under the heavy patrol.

So the people lived very comfortably.

Salt is an official camp, food is no different from an official camp now, and the soldiers are still in the hands of the imperial court.

The people will not do anything bad.

The local officials and the wealthy families behind the officials did not cause any major disasters at all.

Occasionally, some people who are stunned are instigated by local wealthy families to kill people in order to be greedy for money, causing turmoil, and they will also be suppressed by bullets at the first time.

Wealthy families will be raided, and people in the family will be distributed.

The wealthy families who dare to make trouble and instigate others to make trouble have disappeared one by one.

The commercial share of the market is constantly encroached upon.

The people of the tax department came to the surface, standing at the door of the wealthy families and looking at the door to check the accounts.

When the three days arrived, the local soldiers and horses cooperated with the people of Wu Desi and strictly implemented Zhao Zhen's iron law.

The local officials and the wealthy families behind the officials wailed in an instant.

The imperial court took advantage of this to easily put the tax department in the light and did not cause any backlash, because in this case, no one paid attention to the tax department.

The people benefited from this, because they saw the disappearance of the wealthy families who used to bully and oppress them.

They took back the land that was rightfully theirs, and spent some money to buy more from the yamen.

The local officials and the wealthy families behind the officials are considered unlucky.

Fortunately, many local officials and the wealthy families behind the officials decisively chose to give in, otherwise the local officials and the wealthy families behind the officials would have been wiped out.

The only downside to this turmoil is that.

The officials of the Great Song Dynasty once again fell into a state of inadequacy.

In the government hall.

Kou Ji pinched the local recital, and sighed with emotion.

"There is a clear text in the imperial court that officials are not allowed to engage in business. It can be seen from the reports handed over by the localities that 90 percent of the officials in the government and the opposition are engaged in business behind their backs.

The officials of my Great Song Dynasty who really follow this system are actually less than one percent. ”

"Are you ridiculing the old man for turning a blind eye to this?"

Wang Zeng sat opposite Kou Ji, his face very ugly.

Kou Ji put down the report in his hand and said bluntly: "The collusion between officials and businessmen will cause endless disasters. If the government and business are integrated, the society will perish. You capable ministers and officials have been operating the Great Song Dynasty for so many years, so you have managed this?

It's embarrassing to boast that what kind of capable minister you are? ”

Wang Zeng's face turned red, and he shouted in a low voice: "The old man has already admitted that he is not as good as you, and you don't have to humiliate the old man anymore!" ”

Kou Ji asked: "Do you recognize the sentence that serious illness requires strong medicine?" ”

Wang Zeng gritted his teeth and said, "Old man...... Recognize! ”

Kou Ji nodded with satisfaction: "Just admit it, then don't trouble me in the future." ”

Wang Zeng stared and said nothing.

Kou Ji sat down in his chair with a big grin and asked, "Why did you come to me?" ”

Wang Zeng put a document in front of Kou Ji and said gloomily: "Your medicine is so fierce that the local officials have been taken down a full fifty percent."

If it weren't for the old man forgiving the sins of some of them, I'm afraid it would have been even more.

Now that there are not enough local officials, you can tell me, what should I do? ”

Kou Ji pondered for a moment and said, "Send those local criminals who are not guilty to death to the border, and exchange those officials with political achievements in the borderland."

In today's imperial court, the capable go up, and the mediocre go down.

As long as you can help the court stabilize the country, you can regardless of your background. ”

Wang Zeng frowned and said: "This move can only make up for the lack of some low-level officials, but it can't make up for middle-level officials and some local officials."

The deposed prefect was as many as five people.

A lot of officials in the DPRK and China have been killed by you, and now there is a shortage of people in various yamen, and there is no possibility of sending them abroad.

There is also no reasonable manpower replenishment at the local level.

You want to help Han Qi to be a real and true honor of the house, and the old man also pinched his nose and recognized it.

But there are still not enough people. ”

Kou Ji pondered and said: "Temporarily correct the local supervision and make up for the lack of local officials." Two prefectures, three prefectures, and four counties, set up three-level inspections to make up for the lack of supervision.

In this way, it should be possible to squeeze out quite a few officials. ”

Wang Zeng groaned: "Local supervision is unfavorable, and disasters are prone to occur. ”

Kou Ji said: "For the time being, let the people of the Martial Arts Division get involved in the supervision. ”

Wang Zeng glared, "Wu Desi is a group of lackeys, how can they get involved in local supervision?" In order to make meritorious contributions, that group of people dare to do anything, and there is no bottom line. ”

Kou Ji rolled his eyes, "Do you think you don't allow them to get involved in surveillance, and they won't be surveillance?" ”

Wang Zeng blew his beard and glared, "Can that be the same?" They are behind the scenes, a bunch of lackeys. We can break their dog's leg anytime and anywhere.

But when they came to the stage, they were a pack of wolves, and they could eat people anytime and anywhere.

A group of lackeys with no bottom line are popular, which is very harmful to our Great Song. ”

Kou Ji said frankly: "It's a rush to obey the power, and when there is no shortage of officials in the imperial court, I will drive them back behind the scenes." ”

Wang Zeng said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid that it is easy to invite God and difficult to send God." The lackeys played a sinister trick and dared to do anything. Framed and assassinated, and killed the king, and did everything they could.

Once they gain power, you are the most dangerous one. ”
