After solving a problem, Zhang Cheng relaxed a lot. He said to Kou Ji: "May I tell you about our business?"

Kou Ji wondered: "Have you encountered a problem?"

Zhang Cheng nodded and shook his head again.

Kou Ji was even more puzzled.

Zhang Cheng said: "According to your instructions, I bought a shop in the southeast and northwest of Bianjing City, and hung up the sign of our Vientiane Pawn Shop. Five shops opened at the same time, making a big break in Bianjing City. Fame.

With you and Brother Liu Heng guarding, no one dared to trouble us.

In just one month, our Vientiane pawnshop has gained a firm foothold.

Today, five shops have thousands of incomes every month.

Didn't you say that you have to build a big boxing field

I have been working on this recently.

The place has been found and built.

But none of us knows how to sell, so we haven't opened the door yet. "

Kou Ji was stunned, and slowly nodded: "This is a one-liner. It's simple and easy to say, and difficult to say. I will write you a charter later, and you can just do it according to the above. When I am free later, Let me tell you again, you will understand after a long time."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Cheng nodded and said: "Then you have to as soon as possible..."

After a pause, Zhang Cheng said again: "The name of the bashing field hasn't been decided yet."

Kou Ji smiled and said, "Let's call it Wanxianglou."

Zhang Cheng was taken aback, and said, "Also called Vientiane?"

Kou Ji was too lazy to explain the brand effect to Zhang Cheng, and he didn't necessarily understand too much.

Kou Ji smiled and said: "It's easy to use! I don't bother to think of other names."

Zhang Cheng shook his head dumbfounded.

But he did not refute Kou Ji's words.

The naming of the bashing grounds at Wanxianglou was so decided.

After all the big rocks in his heart fell, Zhang Cheng just remembered to ask Kou Ji, "Why did you come here suddenly? Is it because of your father's debt?"

Kou Ji shook his head and smiled: "It's just hiding..."

After laughing, Kou Ji said again: "My father spent thousands of pawn shops, how did you discuss with Liu Heng?"

Zhang Cheng said frankly: "Brother Liu Heng said that the grandfather spent it. When he had no money, he might care about it. Now he makes a lot of money with you, and he doesn't care about those thousands of money."

Hearing this, Kou Ji laughed and said: "This is in line with Liu Heng's temperament... But you still have to remember it clearly on the book. When you look back to divide the profit, remember to draw a part from my part and give it to Brother Liu Heng."

Zhang Cheng nodded slowly, "I see..."

Kou Ji chatted with Zhang Cheng for a while, and taught Zhang Cheng some of the few business lessons in his mind.

The two chatted into the night, and after eating a table of wine and food, they each fell asleep.

Kou Ji has a bedroom in a pawn shop in Vientiane.

It was specially left by Zhang Cheng for him. Although Kou Ji didn't come often, Zhang Cheng kept letting people clean it carefully.

Kou Ji doesn't need to prepare anything, just use it directly.

Kou Ji stayed at the Vientiane Pawn Shop for two days.

On the third day.

Kou Zhun sent someone to tell him that after Li Di had left Kou Mansion, he said goodbye to Zhang Cheng, Er Bao and others, and returned to Kou Mansion.

On the way back home.

Kou Ji discovered that the rumors he had let Zhao Yuanyan spread out have now become heated discussions.

From high-ranking officials to traffickers and pawns, they all got together to chat about the matter.

Obviously, Zhao Yuanyan had worked hard in this regard, and he didn't know how much manpower and material resources he had spent secretly to make this rumor known everywhere.

Nowadays, in Bianjing, everyone is guessing who is the righteous man in the rumors.

Kou Ji even heard that someone secretly made a bonus and wanted to find the righteous.

Kou Ji couldn't laugh or cry.

In comparison, the rumors that Liu Heng was responsible for spread seemed pale.

After walking all the way, only three or two people were talking about it, saying that they had seen a wonder in Fantai.

It was said that there was an expert in the outside world. On the day of Taibai Jingtian, I saw the six stars hanging upside down in the night when I saw the six stars hanging upside down. After secretly calculating, he vomited blood for three times.

Rumors have noses and eyes.

The people believed it to be true.

One by one, as if they knew some great secret, they passed the rumor to the next person under cover.

Although the six-star upside down in the rumors did not directly refer to the six parts, it won't be long before the rumor that the six-star upside down is linked to the six parts will come out.

The rumors are fermenting as Kou Ji expected.

I believe that results will be apparent soon.

Kou Ji returned to the mansion happily, and after greeting Kou Zhun, he returned to his Sijun Garden.

Kou Zhun didn't chase Kou Ji to the bottom, asking him what he was planning.

Not long after Kou Ji stayed in the Garden of the Four Kings, Kou Zhong hurriedly reported that Fan Zhongyan was visiting.

Kou Ji went to see it at the side hall of Kou Mansion.

As soon as he walked in, he saw Fan Zhongyan greeted him on the initiative, and hurriedly said, "Brother Kou, I'm promoted."

Kou Ji walked into the side hall, and after sitting down, asked the maid at the house to serve tea before smiling, "That's a good thing!"

Fan Zhongyan said with a bitter face: "If you are promoted to other yamen, it will be a good thing. But you can be promoted to the sixth department... It will be difficult if you want to make a difference in the future."

Kou Jiman picked up the tea cup unorganized, took a sip, and smiled: "Do you think that Liu Bu is a Qingshui Yamen?"

Fan Zhongyan said awkwardly: "No one in Bianjing knows no one knows..."

Kou Ji put down his teacup and stared at him with a smile: "So, you came to me to ask me if you were transferred to Division 6, did I arrange it?"

Fan Zhongyan nodded in embarrassment.

He is not an official fan, and Kou Ji is not looking for an official position, he wants a good official position.

He just wants to go to those yamen who can do things, even if the official position is not high.

He always thinks about serving as an official and doing something for the people, otherwise the official might as well be improper.

Kou Ji looked at Fan Zhongyan's expression, nodded and smiled: "It was indeed arranged by me."

Fan Zhongyan looked at Kou Ji in amazement, "Why?"

After a pause, he gritted his teeth and said: "Is it because he spoke before he was dismissed, and ran into the judge and angered the judge, so the judge punished the judge like this

Kou Ji pointed to Fan Zhongyan and sighed: "You, you, just think about it. You haven't figured out the doorways in officialdom, and you still need experience."

Fan Zhongyan looked puzzled.

Kou Ji explained: "The things in the officialdom are changing rapidly. It is far less simple than what you see on the surface. Transferring you to the sixth department is naturally meaningful. Although I can't tell you why you are transferred to the sixth department. But I can I assure you that after you go to the sixth department, you will certainly not be idle, let alone doing nothing."

Hearing this, Fan Zhongyan hesitated and looked at Kou Ji.

Kou Ji knew that he still had doubts in his heart, and continued: "I am also serving in the Sixth Department... If the Sixth Department is really a Shimizu Yamen and does nothing, I will go to the Sixth Department? Could it be that I, a grandson of a prime minister, can't plan a right in the court An official position?"

Fan Zhongyan was taken aback, thought for a moment, and felt that Kou Ji's statement was reasonable.

Although he has not been in contact with Kou Ji for a long time, he can feel that Kou Ji is definitely not the kind of person who eats and waits for death.

"Okay! I'm going to six..."

Fan Zhongyan believed Kou Ji's words and immediately stated his position.

Kou Ji nodded, "Go back and prepare, go early to take up the post, and later it will change."

Fan Zhongyan nodded, arched his hands, and left Kou Mansion.

Kou Ji didn't rush back to Sijunyuan, but went to Kou Zhun's bedroom.

Kou Zhun's condition has improved a lot recently. With energy, he found a few books and looked through.

Kou Ji entered Kou Zhun's bedroom, arched his hands, moved to Kou Zhun, and glanced at the book in front of Kou Zhun.

"The Analects?"

Kou Ji questioned.

Kou Zhun nodded, handed the book to Kou Ji, and asked, "How much can you understand?"

Kou Ji awkwardly pushed the book back to Kou Zhun, and said with a dry smile: "Less than a point..."

Kou Zhun glared at him and reprimanded: "I don't know how to learn..."

Kou Ji grinned and said, "There are not a few people who study the knowledge in North Korea. The half of the grandson's understanding is enough to deal with them."

Kou Zhun raised his brows and said angrily: "This is the reason why you are not learning and skillless?"

The smile on Kou Ji's face froze.

Kou Zhun hummed: "But what you said is correct. There are not many people who are intensively studying and learning in North Korea."

After a pause, Kou Zhun sighed, "Everyone who has real knowledge is unwilling to enter the court as officials. Either hide in the mountains and old forests to study knowledge, or open a college to educate children.

The officials had several times to recruit talented people and recruit great people to join the court. None of them came out of the mountain.

Occasionally one or two came out of the mountain, and after one or two tenures, they all resigned.

The old man didn't understand their methods before, and always felt that they could not apply what they learned, and learned nothing.

Now that I am free from the troubles of the government, and when I calm down to study, I understand their practices a little bit. "

Kou Ji raised an eyebrow, "Why did they do this?"

Kou Zhun glanced at Kou Ji and said, "The sea of learning is vast, and you will not understand what real learning is when you go deep into it. When you see the real learning, how can you be an official."

Kou Ji could only understand Kou Zhun's words in the mist.

But he did not delve into this issue, but said with a stunned expression: "Grandfather, you don't have the idea of resigning from office, do you?"

Kou Zhun threw the book on the table and rolled his eyes and said, "This is Li Di's idea, not the old man's idea. The old man studied in the first place to be an official, to serve the court, and to make Song rich and powerful.

Compared with the whole Song Dynasty, the old man cares more about the whole Song Dynasty.

If the two have to abandon the same words, the old man will definitely abandon learning. "

Kou Ji smiled upon hearing this, "You are not pedantic..."

Kou was not annoyed and said, "Don't compare the old man with those tutors."

When the voice fell, Kou Zhun looked at Kou Ji, curled his lips and said, "Let's talk about it, what will I do with the old man."

Kou Ji was taken aback, smiled and asked, "How did grandfather guess that grandson is looking for you for something?"

Kou Zhun snorted coldly, and said, "If the old man summoned him on weekdays, you would rarely show up. If you suddenly find the old man now, there must be something to trouble him.

Kou Ji grinned and said, "Grandfather, you guessed exactly..."

Kou Zhun hummed: "Stop flattering and talk about things."

Kou Ji bluntly said: "Is there any way for my grandfather to move Wang Zeng to the office of Shangshu?"

Kou Zhun was taken aback, frowned and said, "Do you want Wang Zeng to work as a cold bench in the Criminal Ministry?"

Kou Ji smiled and said, "The Criminal Ministry may not be a cold bench."

Kou Zhun frowned, staring at Kou Ji in a daze, and asked: "Are you planning six games?"

Kou Ji nodded without hiding.

Kou Zhun asked: "The six are not in name, but what do you plan to do with the six?"

Kou Ji smiled and said, "Just think of a way to make him famous and real."

Kou Zhun was silent when he heard the words.

He thought for a long time, looked at Kou Ji suddenly, and asked, "You also spread the rumor that the six-star is upside down?"

Kou Ji nodded and admitted.

Kou Zhun frowned and said, "Do you want to use Taibai Jingtian to help Sixth Division grab power?"

Before Kou Ji would admit it, Kou Zhun shook his head and said, "But if you do this, wouldn't Liu E get out of it? The rumor you had about Zhou Huaizheng and Liu E just fell through? "

Kou Ji explained: "The fundamental purpose of these two rumors from grandfather and grandson is to help Liubu seize power."

Kou Zhun said suddenly: "Are you planning to use Zhou Huai's troubles to intimidate Liu E and make Liu E lose his square inch, and then use the six-star upside down rumors to let Liu E get out

If Liu E wants to get away, it is bound to make the celestial phenomena of Taibai Jingtian come true in Liu Bu. "

Kou Ji nodded heavily.

Kou Zhun asked, "Then you plan to let Liubu grab the power of that yamen? Sansi, Sanya?"

Kou Ji said: "Prompt the Criminal Division?"

Kou Zhun frowned and said: "Foreign Taiwan? Although it controls all aspects of the court's political affairs, it is always too thin, far inferior to Sansi and Sanya."

Kou Ji smiled and said: "The censorship department is certainly thin, but once the six departments grab the power of the censorship department and open the door to power, they will definitely not be satisfied with the status quo, and will inevitably fight for power with the third department and the third government.

Most of the power controlled by Liu E originated from the Criminal Division, Sansi, and Sanya.

Once the six ministries are in power, the Criminal Division will inevitably collapse.

At the same time, it can contain Sansi and Sanya.

The power that Liu E controls will be further weakened. "

Kou Zhun slowly opened his mouth wide and froze on the spot.

He had never thought of this kind of scheme.

His gaze has been fixed on Liu E and Ding Wei, always thinking of ways to bring down these two people.

But never looked down, and never thought of using the people below to contain Liu E.

Seeing Kou Zhun was stunned, Kou Ji continued: "There are many officials in the six ministries. Once they steal the power of the Criminal Division, they will definitely become a new force in the court.

And they naturally stood in opposition to Liu E.

Naturally it cannot be used by Liu E.

The officials of the six ministries have been in the DPRK for many years and the relationship is intertwined.

It is also very difficult for Liu E to eradicate them in one fell swoop.

If they restrain Liu E, even if Liu E wants to do something, she will be restrained.

As long as Liu E's hands and feet are tied, we want to deal with Liu E, it is much simpler. "

Kou Zhun said in disbelief: "Can it still be like this?"

Kou Ji smiled and nodded: "Yes! It can be like this!"

"The old man has never thought about it like this..."

Kou Zhun turned up the stormy sea in his heart.

He is also a person in the officialdom, and he only needs to infer the feasibility of this method based on Kou Ji's words and the results that can be achieved after success.

"No wonder you stopped Li Di from leaving Beijing, because you wanted Li Di to become the household secretary?"
