Such opportunities are not often available.
Kou Ji was able to make so much at once, and it was also related to what he did in the palace today. With the support of Zhao Zhen and Zhao Yuanzuo, he could get so much.
After all, Jiangshan is Zhao's Jiangshan.
One of the eldest son of Emperor Taizong, a current official, and the two most powerful people in the Zhao family are speaking, and no one can stop them.
Even though Liu E and Kou Zhun held great power, they could occasionally disobey the meaning of Zhao Zhen, a small official, but they were not easy to disobey the meaning of Zhao Yuanzuo.
This is a master who ordered the East Palace whenever he was unhappy.
If he annoyed him, he ordered the palace again, and everyone's faces would not look good.
It's not worth it to work against this for some money.
Speaking of this, I have to say whether the Song Dynasty has money.
In terms of whether there is money, the Song Dynasty is also a wonderful work.
Was the Song Dynasty rich
Have!
As a dynasty with unprecedented prosperity in commerce, commerce tax alone can earn tens of millions each year, which is almost the same as the levy of taxes on people’s food.
In addition, the Song Dynasty also had government-run salt and iron, as well as government-run sea trade.
Many people in later generations always mistakenly believed that my country's ancient sea trade business was very withered and bleak.
actually not.
The official sea trade business of the Song Dynasty was very prosperous.
Not to mention the porcelain, silk and other things that were transported and sold, there are more than 5,000 large ships that are transported out of the official shipyard each year.
Year after year, there are hundreds of thousands of large ships floating on the sea in the Song Dynasty, how can they not be considered prosperous.
This is not counting the boats that merchants go to sea privately, and those fishing boats that go out to sea to fish.
Therefore, the rumor that the ancient sea trade was not prosperous is purely a rumor.
It is precisely because of this that, in addition to taxation, there are huge profits from many government-run workshops in the Song Dynasty every year.
Therefore, the Song court was very rich.
It is not an exaggeration to describe it as rich and flowing oil.
However, the Song Dynasty court was rich, but the officials of the past dynasties were very struggling. They even had to build palaces and other buildings, and occasionally raised donations, or knocked on those merchants who were full of intestines.
The treasury is running short every year, and every year at the end of the year, you can see countless rats rolling and jumping inside.
Why is this
It was because the Song Dynasty court was very generous to the courtiers.
Whether it is a martial artist, a clan, or a minister of civil and military affairs, there will never be a time when there is no food, nothing to eat, and no money to splurge.
Zhao's successive emperors, in order to secure the throne, he would rather endure hardships, but also had to feed his courtiers.
At this point, Zhao's successive emperors can be regarded as the best among all the emperors of all dynasties.
Regardless of the fact that the foreign official enters Beijing, as long as he enters the city of Bianjing as an official, the court will basically give them a house in the city of Bianjing.
Often a house can be worth the salary of an official for decades or even hundreds of years.
This year’s New Year’s Eve dinner.
Apart from the imperial family, Kou Ji is the one who ate the fullest.
A yellow and white thing worth 1.5 million pens, and a two-entry house worth two hundred thousand pens, these are still small heads.
The real big head is the two hundred households that Zhao Yuanzuo gave him.
As long as Zhao Yuanzuo does not take back his reward, Kou Ji can eat the support of those two hundred households for a lifetime.
Zhao Yuanzuo was changed to Gangneung Mu, and the two hundred newly added food towns were also in Gangneung.
Jiangling was in the Song Dynasty, so it can be regarded as a relatively rich place.
The support of two hundred households is not a small amount.
It was not difficult to see the officials who stared at the back of his carriage and spoke sour words when Koj left the palace.
Kou Ji received a great gift today.
In this regard, Kou Ji also has his own views.
He felt that it was wrong for the court to reward officials so much.
People are always greedy, and the more you spoil those civil and military ministers, the more greedy they are.
Although it was a bit of a meal for the main house, it broke the suspicion of the main house's pot.
But the Manchu civil and military all did this, and Kou Ji did it occasionally, it didn't hurt.
After the grandfather and grandson returned to Kou Mansion.
Kou Zhun asked Kou Ji to put the yellow and white things in the carriage into the treasury, and instructed Kou Zhong to go to Sansiyamen tomorrow to receive the court's reward for Kou Ji's house, maid and other things.
Kou Zhun declined Kou Li's invitation to stay together. Under the horrified eyes of everyone in the house, he got up from the Kou bus, grabbed Kou Ji's ear, and entered his bedroom.
Once in the door.
Kou Zhun let go of Kou Ji's ears, and shouted with a black face, "You kneel down for the old man."
Kou Ji knew that he could not escape the disaster, so he knelt down in front of Kou Zhun very obediently.
Kou Zhun pointed to Kou Ji's nose and yelled, "Do you think you are a hero and heroic today?"
Kou Ji shook his head decisively, "No..."
Kou Zhun did not spare him, "No fart! What would you do without you rushing to fight the Liao people? Is that what you should do?"
Kou Ji admitted wrong and said: "Grandfather, I know I was wrong."
Kou Zhun pointed to the location of the mansion's treasury, and cursed: "I feel complacent when I get a little money. Is the old man short of that money? The man who has a lot of money is about to die. Do you need your life to change it?"
In other people's houses, there are people who are prosperous, either the son of a prodigal family, or the grandson who has lost money.
Even if it is the Zhe family who is full of loyalty, there is also an unscrupulous descendant named Zhe Jixuan, not to mention other houses.
However, Kou Mansion is different.
Kou Zhun was busy dealing with government affairs at the court every day, and had no spare time to spend money. After his caravan of salaries went home, they were basically placed in the treasury, and they rarely moved.
As a son, Couli occasionally spent some of the government's money, but the amount was very small, basically not more than a thousand guan.
The money he spent was not even drizzle to Kou Zhun, and Kou Zhun didn't bother to pay attention to him.
Kou Ji, the grandson, is even more different.
Not only didn't spend the money from the house, but also sent money to the house when it was okay.
As the heir of Kou Mansion recognized by Kou Zhun, the money that Kou Mansion has accumulated for many years after Kou Zhun's hundred years is not all Kou Ji's.
Kou Zhun felt that with so much money for Kou Jihua, Kou Ji didn't have to work hard for the money.
Not only do you not have to work hard for money, you can even spend money to let others work hard for yourself.
Kou Ji smiled bitterly: "Grandfather, you know, the grandson came out not for money."
Kou Zhun glared and shouted: "The old man knows that you are going to fight for your life, not for money. But the old man just wants to grab this conversation and scold you. Do you have any opinions?"
Kou Ji shook his head decisively when he heard the words.
Kneel on the ground to listen to Kou Zhun's reprimand.
When Kou Zhun was tired of scolding, he started talking about business, "Your actions today will definitely offend the Liao people. I will inevitably fight the Liao people."
Kou Ji slowly got up under Kou Zhun's faint hint, and said in deep thought: "I thought about this before I came out in Yanfu Palace. I reasoned carefully and felt that Yelu Longxu, Emperor of the Liao Dynasty, could not be a Liao Dynasty. People, take a big shot at me, Da Song.
The Liao Emperor Yelulongxu was going to conquer Xixia and was marching in the mountains. He must have reached Waiyunzhou at this moment.
From the outer Yunzhou to my Da Song again, it is not worth it.
It was difficult for the Liao army to march in the mountains.
From Waiyunzhou to the border of Song Dynasty, I need to climb several major mountains.
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu has been bored in the mountains for more than a month.
It is impossible to be bored for another month or two, straddling several major mountains to attack my Da Song.
Outside Yunzhou, the Liao people faced Xixia in Pingchuan, and it was easier for their iron cavalry to rule the roost. "
Kou Zhun carefully considered Kou Ji's words, and slowly nodded: "If the Liao people are really in Waiyunzhou, then they really have no way to bypass the mountain and come to attack my Da Song."
Kou Zhun glanced at Kou Ji and asked, "Then you reminded Yelu Angkor in the Yanfu Palace, how can you explain?"
Kou Ji laughed in a low voice: "Forcing him to get out early. When he sent the news back, Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, probably led his own soldiers and horses to the border of Xixia.
Have we disclosed the news to Xixia? He only needs to send scouts to check Xixia's border defenses and he will know. "
Kou Zhun groaned: "So what you did in Yanfu Palace today was not reckless, but after careful calculation?"
Kou Ji told the truth: "I also figured it out after slaughtering the Liao man."
Kou Zhun snorted heavily.
The urn said angrily.
"Accompany the old man to keep the year old..."
Kou Ji nodded and agreed, and accompanied Kou Ji to sit down in the bedroom.
Not long after sitting, Kou Zhun fell asleep in confusion.
Kou Ji put a blanket on Kou Zhun and guarded him.
When it was three watch days, Kou Zhun was awakened.
The grandfather and grandson took a brief wash, and after eating something, they changed into court clothes and entered the palace again.
No one can miss the meeting on Lunar New Year's Day.
In today’s meeting, regardless of political affairs, there are many things to do.
After entering the palace, under the leadership of Zhao Zhen, first went out of the palace gate and went to Jingling Palace to worship the sages and the ancestors of the Zhao family.
Then he returned to the palace and worshipped Zhao Heng again.
Then he returned to the court hall and met with envoys from various countries and vassals.
I stayed busy until the evening before leaving.
After Kou Zhun's ancestor and grandson returned to the mansion, they were almost exhausted and paralyzed.
The two of them fell asleep under quilt.
I slept until the second day of the new year.
Someone came to visit early in the morning.
The people who visited were not guests, but the stewards of the Chu Palace.
Chu Wang Zhao Yuanzuo fulfilled his promise and allocated two hundred households in Jiangling Shiyi to Kou Ji.
The steward of the Royal Palace of Chu gave Kou Ji a volume of documents, which was stamped with the seal of the King of Chu, the seal of the jade, the seal of the inner court, and the seal of Zong Zheng.
The reason why so many seals are stamped is to tell everyone.
Kou Ji ate two hundred Jiangling food towns, which was approved by the imperial court.
No one can pick and prick, no one dare to make irresponsible remarks.
Kou Ji handed the paperwork given by the manager of the Chu Palace to Kou Zhong, and when Kou Zhong sent someone to take care of the matter, Kou Zhong almost fainted without excitement.
It's not that he can share some benefits from the middle, he is purely excited for Kou Ji, happy for Kou Ji.
The food town of two hundred households is not just a matter of getting huge sums of money.
It is a symbol of status and status.
This means that Kou Ji alone can claim to be a rich and powerful person.
Kou Ji didn't care about it, waved his hand, let Kou Zhong go down and watch and deal with it.
Kou Zhong hurried to find Kou Zhun with the document sent by the steward of the Chu Palace.
There are things Kou Ji doesn't understand, but it doesn't mean that Kou Zhun doesn't understand either.
Kou Zhong felt that it was necessary to discuss with Kou Zhun about Kou Ji's food in Gangneung.
What will Kou Zhong discuss with Kou Zhun.
Kou Ji didn't know.
Kou Ji is now busy welcoming guests at the door.
The first to visit Kou Mansion was Wang Shu and his wife.
Kou Ji met Wang Shu and his wife and offered salutes, "My nephew has seen my uncle and my aunt."
As for Wang Yuan, who followed them with his mouth curled and a look of disdain, Kou Ji chose to ignore him.
Regarding Kou Ji's status and prestige in the court today, no one cares about Wang Yuan who ignores him.
Wang Shu saw Kou Ji with a smile on his face, and said, "Kou Ji, you were in Yanfu Palace the night before and strove for my Da Song."
Kou Ji smiled and said: "A little trick, if you can't get on the stage, you shouldn't be praised by your uncle."
Wang Shu shook his head and said with emotion: "On the way to Kou Mansion, I heard a lot of people preaching your fame and extolling your feats in Yanfu Palace.
Some people even praised you as the number one warrior of the Song Dynasty. "
Kou Ji was taken aback, and said lightly: "We don't learn or use Liao people's things. I am an ordinary civil servant in the Great Song Dynasty."
When Wang Shu saw that Kou Ji did not accept flattery, he had no words.
Wang Kou’s smile bluntly gave Kou Ji back, "Nephew is polite..."
From her, I can no longer see the arrogance and domineering in Kou Mansion who wanted to drive Kou Ji out of the mansion.
Although she is a bit stupid, she is not stupid.
From Kou Ji's successive rewards, it is not difficult to see that Kou Ji's rise is unstoppable.
There will definitely be Kou Ji in the top positions of Da Song.
If Kou Zhun is gone in the future.
Wang Shu, father and son, must seek Kou Ji's support.
She naturally did not dare to offend Koji again.
But she did not apologize to Kou Ji for her previous actions.
She felt that this wild child from outside was not enough to make her, the prostitute of the Kou Mansion, nodded and bowed to apologize.
Kou Ji welcomed Wang Shu and his wife into the Kou Mansion, and after a few words with them, he was led to find Kou Zhun.
Kou Ji went to the front of the mansion alone again, and continued to welcome the guests.
Not long after waiting at the door, Zhang Cheng and his wife led his cubs Bao'er, Er Bao, and Lu Ming to the house.
They came in a carriage, and there was a big box on the carriage.
After arriving at the gate of Kou's mansion, the carriage stopped.
Someone removed the boxes from the car.
Zhang Cheng walked up to Kou Ji first, and said, "Brother Kou Ji, we are late. We originally planned to come to the house yesterday. But I heard people say that you officials will enter the palace on New Year's Eve , So I didn't come over.
Come here early this morning. In addition to paying you a New Year's greetings, I will send you the profits from my Vientiane pawn shop and Vientiane House last year. "
