Kou Ji returned to the Kou Mansion and rested for a long time.

In the evening, Chen Lin led a group of people to the Koufu Courtyard with a large number of holy decrees.

Kou Ji led the people from the house to the door to greet him.

After Chen Lin's people arrived in the Koufu Courtyard, he announced the decree.

Kou Ji presided over the compilation of the "Heavenly Sage Dictionary" and gave him a python robe, a jade belt, and a purple and gold crown.

Kou Tianci took advantage of Kou Ji's merits and was promoted to another three levels.

Xiang Yan also took advantage of Kou Ji's merits to promote a product.

Kou Ji's current official has reached the point where it is difficult to seal.

If the official position goes further, it is a vacant position such as Taibao, Shaobao, and Shizhong.

If the title goes further, it is a first-class duke, a county king, and a king.

At Kou Ji's age, it is not suitable to carry positions such as Taibao and Shaobao.

It is also not appropriate to be promoted to a first-class public position.

Lu Yijian and the three of them would rather see the Kou family and three dukes, rather than see the Kou family produce a young Taibao, or a young prince.

Therefore, most of Kou Ji's credit for presiding over the compilation of the "Heavenly Sage Dictionary" this time fell on Kou Tianci.

Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng, and Zhang Zhibai are all very generous to Kou Tianci.

Because they knew that Kou Tianci would become a colt when he grew older, they didn't need to worry that Kou Tianci would be a high-ranking official at a young age, and he would reach the point where he could not be sealed in the future.

When Kou Tianci was young, no matter how much he rewarded him with Kou Ji's merits.

Once you marry Princess Baoqing, you have to hand over the real job in your hand.

Become an idle colt.

Although Zhao Zhen has already made adjustments to some of the rules of the royal family.

However, the rule that the emperor's relatives are not allowed to interfere in politics, Zhao Zhen did not ban it, nor did it change.

Therefore, once Kou Tianci marries Princess Baoqing, he will lose the opportunity to take power.

Lu Yijian and the three of them knew that Kou Tianci would eventually become an idle horse master, so they were very generous to Kou Tianci, and they were promoted to the third level of Kou Tianci at once.

Kou Tianci is still a Mengtong, and he has already entered the list of the six grades.

In the future, if Kou Ji establishes some meritorious achievements, Kou Tianci will start with four or five grades.

Kou Ji took the holy decree from Chen Lin's hand, looked down at where he was standing, stared at his Kou Tianci with a vigilant expression, and muttered dissatisfiedly.

"How do you feel about Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is a part-time job for you......"

He worked hard to run around outside, Kou Tianci, a stinky boy, stayed in the house, and he didn't dare to do anything, so he could be promoted quickly.

The benefits of his achievements were all taken up by Kou Tianci, isn't he working for Kou Tianci?

When Kou Ji looked at Kou Tianci, Kou Tianci also stared at him silently, what he said, Kou Tianci didn't hear it too clearly, but the unkind look in his eyes, Kou Tianci felt it.

Kou Tianci almost subconsciously distanced himself from him, and made a posture of preparing to escape.

Kou Ji glared at Kou Tianci, too lazy to pay attention to him.

After instructing Xiang Yan to take Kou Tianci down.

Kou Ji accompanied Chen Lin and rushed to the Ruisheng Garden with the remaining holy decrees.

I arrived at Ruisheng Garden, and I went to the place where the great Confucians wrote books.

Kou Ji and Chen Lin saw Jia Changchao leading the other officials who compiled the book, standing upright at the gate of the garden, waiting for them.

Kou Ji and Chen Lin glanced at each other, looking puzzled.

After the two stepped forward.

Jia Changchao immediately led the other officials who compiled the book to salute the two.

After the salute, Kou Ji couldn't help but ask, "What about those great Confucians?" ”

Jia Changchao smiled awkwardly: "After they learned that the official family allowed them to sign the Tiansheng Dictionary, they no longer paid attention to this matter, and now they are busy compiling the dictionary. ”

Chen Lin said dissatisfiedly: "When the official family's will arrives, they dare not come out to greet them." ”

Kou Ji glanced at Chen Lin, "Then you take people in and drag them out and beat them to the board as punishment?" ”

The corners of Chen Lin's mouth twitched, glared at Kou Ji, and said, "The official family said that they are the national soldiers of my Great Song Dynasty, and they should be treated favorably." If our family reprimands them, after returning to the palace, the official family will definitely be held accountable. ”

Kou Ji pouted and said, "Then what did you shout just now?" ”

Chen Lin snorted coldly: "As a eunuch beside the official family, our family naturally has to maintain the majesty of the official family. ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he didn't continue to argue with Chen Lin, he said with a straight face: "Those great Confucians are probably not greedy for this little thing from the imperial court. Writing books should be the most important thing for them now, and we won't bother them. ”

Kou Ji looked at Chen Lin, "You read out the will of the official family." I'll go back and ask what those great Confucians want. As long as it is not too excessive, the official family will be played and the official family will be rewarded as appropriate. ”

Chen Lin nodded slowly, agreeing with Kou Ji's statement.

After nodding, Chen Lin took a scroll of the holy decree and read it out.

Since the holy decree is to be taken home and offered, every official has a corresponding will.

Dozens of officials' wills, Chen Lin finished reading them, and it took more than an hour.

Kou Ji listened to it roughly, almost all of them were promoted to the third level, as well as some money.

Jia Changchao's merits are quite large, so the reward is more generous than others, in addition to the promotion of the third level in the actual position, but also the title of direct bachelor of Baowen Pavilion.

Since then, Jia Changchao has entered the ranks of important ministers.

One step further and one is eligible to compete for the phase.

Jia Changchao was very excited in his heart, and his hand reached into his cuff for a long time, and asked the person who took out the money he had already prepared to pass on the message.

But after seeing Kou Ji and Chen Lin's smiling clarity, he immediately dispelled this thought.

The official family hates corrupt people very much, and almost all the corrupt officials caught in recent years have come to no good end.

Chen Lin is a person close to the official family, so she naturally has the same preferences as the official family.

Giving a bribe to Chen Lin is equivalent to bribing Zhao Zhen under his nose.

It won't end well.

As for Kou Ji, he has never been greedy since he came out, and everyone in the government and the opposition knows that Kou Ji is not greedy for money, and he has never accepted any bribes.

So bribing Kou Ji won't end well.

Moreover, as Kou Ji, he really wants to take bribes, and Jia Changchao can't take some of the money in his cuffs.

If you don't have a foundation of seventy or eighty thousand, you are insulting Kou Ji.

Chen Lin saw Jia Changchao's hand stretched into the cuff, and took it out empty, so he stared at Jia Changchao and said, "Master Jia, what are you going to take?" ”

Jia Changchao hurriedly said: "I wrote an excerpt of thanks, and wanted my father-in-law to help bring it back to the official family, but when I looked for it, I found that it was left in the bedroom......"

Chen Lin nodded slowly, and did not ask about the matter thoroughly.

He said a few words to Kou Ji and left the Ruisheng Garden.

After Chen Lin left, Kou Ji instructed Jia Changchao: "Take me to meet those great Confucian ......"

Jia Changchao hurriedly agreed, and took Kou Ji to the place where the book was compiled, and met the Confucian scholars who were busy compiling the dictionary.

Kou Ji visited the Confucian scholars and learned about the rewards and needs of the Confucian scholars, and then drove into the palace.

……

Inside the Royal Palace.

Shishido.

Zhao Zhen stared at Kou Ji with a stunned expression, "You mean, they don't want money, and they don't want any officials, just want me to keep them in Ruisheng Garden to compile books?" ”

Kou Ji said with a smile: "Not bad...... They also said that it would be better if the officials could send someone to build them some houses or gardens in the Ruisheng Garden where they could live properly......

The great Confucians used to be separated from each other, rarely got together, and rarely compiled books together.

Even if he compiles a book, he also compiles some of his own poetry collections, as well as compiles some translations or abridged editions of ancient books.

Few of them have ever participated in such a large-scale book compilation work.

Now, in order to compile phonological books, the imperial court has brought them together and given them many resources to compile books.

Most of them are already immersed in the joy of compiling books, and they are willing to leave.

The "Tiansheng Dictionary" has been compiled, and the dictionary is still being compiled.

But the next book to be compiled, they already have an eyebrow, that is, the history of the Tang Dynasty.

There are enough of them, they have a lot of ideas, and they have a lot of books to compile.

Therefore, as long as the imperial court does not take the initiative to dismiss them, they will hardly leave.

Zhao Zhen had already felt the benefits of compiling books, and knew that so many great Confucians could help the Great Song Dynasty compile many useful books.

So when the Confucians offered to stay, Zhao Zhen had to admit that he was a little tempted.

Zhao Zhen forcibly suppressed the throbbing in his heart and said to Kou Ji: "Fourth brother thinks, is this a good thing or a bad thing?" ”

Kou Ji smiled and said, "Naturally, it's a good thing, or a great thing." ”

Prior to this, the compilation of books by successive dynasties was basically based on historical materials, and other books were rarely involved.

So all kinds of books are very messy and messy.

Even in the imperial court research scriptures, there are many private goods carried by predecessors.

Therefore, it is necessary for the imperial court to sort out the books in the world.

It has been re-edited and strived to eliminate the false and retain the true.

How much this contribution has made to the inheritance of Han culture and the development of Han culture can be seen by looking at the reputation of the Ming Dynasty's Yongle Canon and the Qing Dynasty's Siku Quanshu.

Zhao Zhen stared at Kou Ji and said, "Fourth brother thinks this matter is a good thing?" ”

Kou Ji nodded decisively and said, "Of course ......"

Zhao Zhen groaned: "Then how does the fourth brother think he should respond to the demands of the great Confucians?" ”

Kou Ji pondered for a moment and said, "The great Confucians have the heart to leave the book, so the official family should naturally provide some convenience." The great Confucians' books have already achieved some success, and more and more people will definitely join them in the future.

Books that were delivered from Daishoku were also translated in it.

In the future, Ruishengyuan is likely to become a holy place for writing, compiling, and translating books.

The Longtu Pavilion under the jurisdiction of the ministers may not be as good as the Ruisheng Garden in the future. ”

Zhao Zhen nodded solemnly and said, "I think the same way. ”

Kou Ji continued: "The great Confucians do not seek power or profit, but only seek some fame. After that, when the literary system was reformed, we could ban the scholarly duties of the courtiers and transfer them to them.

Bachelor, well-educated.

It should be awarded to those great Confucians, not to the officials of the DPRK and China.

The position of a bachelor will be a false job that shows identity and glory in the future.

Do not mix with others.

Bachelor's degree, only responsible for intensive study.

There is no need to participate in the affairs of the government.

In order to reward them for their contribution to the imperial court, they can be appropriately given a certain amount of money.

When the children and grandchildren of the family move to Bianjing, they can also be given houses to live in.

In this way, it can be regarded as solving their worries.

In Ruisheng Garden, some changes can be made appropriately.

Ruisheng Garden, a royal north garden, can be completely transformed into a place for writing books, compiling and translating books.

With a royal North Garden, in exchange for the world's great Confucianism to work for the official family, the official family can make a lot of money. ”

"Hahaha......"

When Zhao Zhen heard this, he laughed loudly.

Whether it is the full implementation of Mongolian learning, or the transformation of the Royal North Garden into a place dedicated to the great Confucian scholars to write books and speak, it is a feat that no one has ever done before.

Now he does, and he's seeing the benefits.

How could he not be happy.

What he wanted all his life was to make the Great Song Dynasty rise.

Nowadays, the Great Song Dynasty is rising rapidly in all aspects.

How could he not be happy.

"According to what the fourth brother said, I will then send a decree to the Ministry of Works, and let the Ministry of Industry renovate the Royal North Garden. After the renovation is completed, I will remove the eunuchs and palace ladies in the royal north garden, leaving only some officials and soldiers and horses. ”

"After the renovation of the Royal North Garden is completed, it is a place dedicated to writing and compiling books, and it is a little inappropriate to call it Ruisheng Garden."

"That's called ...... Tiansheng Bunkan ...... What does the fourth brother think? ”

"Now it's not far from the tenth year of the Heavenly Sage, and the official family is sure to use the name of the Heavenly Sage?"

Kou Ji asked this, and Zhao Zhen was slightly stunned.

According to the rules set by Taizu Taizong of the Great Song Dynasty, the use of each era name of the Great Song Dynasty is generally not more than ten years.

That is, every ten years, the era name must be changed.

Under special circumstances, it can be changed in three or five years.

It depends on the emperor's preferences.

Zhao Zhen sighed: "Unconsciously, have I been on the throne for almost ten years? ”

Kou Ji nodded slowly.

Zhao Zhen lowered his head, looked at Kou Ji and said, "You and I have spent almost ten years together. I still remember what you looked like when you first entered the court. ”

Kou Ji sighed: "Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle. ”

Zhao Zhen nodded slowly, "Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle...... You and I have a lot to do, and we can't delay it for a moment, and it won't spare people. ”

Kou Ji smiled: "We are still young......"

Zhao Zhen stared at Kou Ji and said, "Compared to God's gift, are we still young?" ”

The smile on Kou Ji's face slowly froze.

Zhao Zhen sighed: "In a few years, the fourth brother, you will be in your thirties......"

Koji suddenly felt a little reluctant to speak.

For most people with mature minds, getting older and getting older is definitely a problem they don't want to face.

Kou Ji felt that he had traveled to the Great Song Dynasty and had not done much, he was already almost thirty, and he was naturally unwilling to face this problem.

But there is no way to face it, the years are not forgiving.

Kou Ji smiled a little stiffly and said, "Official, let's talk about the year name now." ”

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Fourth brother doesn't seem to like getting old very much? ”

Kou Ji said nonchalantly: "Few people like to get old. ”

Zhao Zhen smiled: "But no one can hide." ”

Kou Ji suddenly didn't want to speak.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhen hurriedly changed the topic, "What does the fourth brother think about the matter of the year name?" ”

Kou Ji muttered, "The official family may consider using the name of the Heavenly Sage all the time. ”

Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "The ancestral rules ......"

Kou Ji stared at Zhao Zhen and said, "The rules of the ancestors are not immutable. Many of the rules set by the two dynasties of Taizu and Taizong have not changed, but when the official family ascended the throne, it became a bad government.

The government has spent a lot of money to reform these malpractices.

It can be seen that the rules set by the ancestors may be suitable for the era when the ancestors lived, but they are not suitable for the present.

So when it's time to change, you have to change, and you can't hesitate. ”

Zhao Zhen sighed and said, "I'm afraid that my rules will become too many, and future generations will not abide by the rules, and turn many of the good governments I left behind into evil governments." ”

Kou Ji said: "So we have to find a way to distinguish between what can be changed and what cannot be changed. ”

Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "Didn't the fourth brother say it just now. The rules left by our ancestors are suitable for our ancestors or that era, but they are not suitable for the present. The good governance we left behind may not be suitable for the future Great Song Dynasty.

There is no way for us to distinguish which part of the rules can be changed and which part of the rules cannot be changed.

Because no one can say what the Great Song Dynasty will look like in the future. ”

Koji fell into deep thought.

What the Great Song Dynasty will look like in the future, Kou Ji doesn't know.

Because the current Great Song is no longer the Great Song he is familiar with, but a Great Song that has undergone his changes.

After the Great Song Dynasty, it will no longer follow history and go on the same.

After the Great Song Dynasty, there will be countless variables.

Therefore, what are the rules to be observed by the Great Song Dynasty in the future, which can be formulated by the emperor after the future according to the actual situation.

But that doesn't mean there aren't immutable rules for future generations to follow.

Some issues of principle, even after tens of millions of years, will never change.

For example, territorial disputes.

Kou Ji pondered this and said, "The issue of territorial disputes, even if it is tens of millions of years, will not change. ”

When Zhao Zhen heard this, his face turned straight.

"The country of my Great Song Dynasty was brought back by the soldiers with their lives, and it cannot be ceded or lost. This problem will indeed not change for tens of millions of years.

When I have reformed the literary system, I will set the corresponding ancestral laws and warn future generations. ”

Kou Ji nodded and said, "It's best to tell the world and let everyone in the world remember." ”

Zhao Zhen stared at Kou Ji and said: "It's like a plaque hanging behind the vertical arch hall, 'The harem shall not interfere in politics'." ”

Koji nodded again.

Zhao Zhen let out a sigh, "I will discuss this matter with the fourth brother in detail in the future." The fourth brother didn't let me change the year name, but what is the saying and what are the benefits? ”

Kou Ji said frankly: "The frequent change of era names is not a good thing. On the issue of era names, the people still like to stay the same. This way, it is easier for them to remember.

More importantly, if the official family follows the same era name, then the heavenly sage is the official family, and the official family is the heavenly sage. ”

Zhao Zhen nodded thoughtfully.

"I will discuss this matter with Lu Yijian and the three of them later, and if it is appropriate, I will continue to use an era name in the future."

"......"

After discussing the matter, Kou Ji did not stay in the palace any longer, and left the palace.

The day after Kou Ji returned to the Koufu Courtyard, Zhao Zhen's will to renovate the Royal North Garden was issued to the Ministry of Industry.

After the Ministry of Industry got Zhao Zhen's will, he immediately sent people to Ruisheng Garden to measure Ruisheng Garden.

Then according to the needs of the great Confucians, as well as the needs of compiling and writing books in the future, they drew the renovation drawings of Ruisheng Garden.

After the renovation drawings came out, one of the most eye-catching was a library building covering an area of 1,000 acres in Ruisheng Garden.

The library building has three floors, and is designed with fireproof water tanks and waterproof waterways, so the amount of work is very huge.

The money required far exceeded the construction of some large palaces in the palace.

In this regard, Zhao Zhen, Kou Ji, and the three Zai of the inner court, none of them were distressed.

After reviewing the drawings, Zhao Zhen decisively ordered the construction to begin.

A large number of craftsmen, after Zhao Zhen's will was issued, settled in Ruisheng Garden and renovated Ruisheng Garden.

Kou Ji did not pay attention to this matter after the renovation project of Ruisheng Garden officially started.

His attention was focused on the translation work of Fan Zhongyan and others.

After Fan Zhongyan and others learned the great food literature, they decisively entered the translation work.

A book of great food literature and medical skills, under their translation, became Chinese.

Halfway through, the guarantor who was far away in Luzhou sent a letter to Kou Ji, saying that he had roughly learned the Great Food Literature, and asked Kou Ji to send him something to do.

Kou Ji instructed someone to copy the translated Da Shi Wen book and the original Da Shi Wen book, and sent someone to Luzhou to hand it over to Bao Zheng to proofread.

See if there's a big source in it.

When translating books, there were stumbling in the early stage, but in the later stage, it went a lot smoother.

There were a lot of medical books sent by the big cannibals, and it took Kou Ji and others more than half a month to get nearly sixty percent of the medical books done.

The medical books that were done were not translated into books, but were kicked out of the list of medical books.

Those books are in the big food, and they are called medical books, but in Kou Ji's eyes, they are not medical books at all.

Rather, it is some religious books in the shell of a medical book.

For example, there are hundreds of books that record in detail that through some kind of witchcraft, or some kind of ritual, some kind of unknowable being is summoned to help people heal.

Is this a medical technique?

It's a pretend.

There are also some methods of whipping and self-abuse.

There are also some unimaginable earth remedies.

Anyway, there are all kinds of strange treatments.

But none of them are really healing techniques.

Kou Ji took people and spent more than half a month to get rid of all this kind of things.

Only the real medical book was left.

The real medical book is then translated.

This translation is months.

During this time, Koji spent most of his time in Ruisheng Garden.

Occasionally, I will go back to my home or go to court.

Returning to the house and going to the court, most of them are also to deal with important matters in the imperial court.

For example, the great cannibal who was far away in Jiaozhi fell for Kou Ji's strategy and was ready to recruit believers as pawns in Jiaozhi and asked to buy armaments from the Great Song Dynasty.

Another example is the second time that Jiaozhi asked Kou Ji to buy blade armor.

There is also a kind of thing that Shiheng and Zhu Neng rushed to Dali and launched a war against Dali.
