"How dare the villain threaten Kou Shilang... The villain is just reminding Kou Shilang..."
Qian Yuan stood in front of Kou Ji respectfully and said.
Kou Ji sneered, took a sip of the tea cup slowly, and sneered: "Remind me what? Remind me that once this happens to the court, my reputation as an official-business collusion can't escape
At that time, the hundred officials will definitely impeach me against a series of crimes such as fighting for profit with the people and abusing power.
Even if I was guarded by my grandfather, I would be utterly burnt amidst the impeachment of hundreds of officials? "
Qian Yuan chuckled in a low voice, without speaking.
But he acquiesced to Koj's statement.
Kou Ji put down the tea cup and smiled disdainfully: "Then I can only say that you are wrong. I am different from other officials. I don't cherish my reputation, let alone worry about being promoted after my reputation deteriorates.
If your Mu family really has the courage to make this matter go to the court, then I Kou Jifeng will accompany to the end. "
Qian Yuan's expression changed, staring at Kou Ji, and said anxiously: "Kou Shilang, it's just a matter that can be solved with a small amount of money, why are you making a big deal?"
"Ah?"
Kou Ji ridiculed: "A thing that moves millions of pennies, can it be a small amount of money? The court has to spend millions of pennies, and it has to be negotiated for more than a full month before a decision can be made."
Qian Yuan's expression was a little uncertain when he heard the words.
He thought over and over again, gritted his teeth and said: "If Shi Lang Kou can't pay the money, my family is willing to do it. But Shi Lang Kou must come out and help me deal with it, so as to avoid this incident to the court."
Kou Ji said unreasonably: "Are you begging or ordering me?"
Qian Yuan solemnly said: "Kou Shilang also has members in Jiaozipu in Shuzhong..."
Kou Ji glanced at Qian Yuan and sneered: "Up until now, you still use the name of Jiaozipu in Shuzhong to prevaricate me? I am a member of Jiaozipu in Shuzhong, but I have not learned from Jiaozipu in Shuzhong. Get a penny of black money.
What do you do with me when you take advantage of Jiaozipu's activities? "
Kou Ji snorted coldly, got up suddenly, flicked his sleeves, and shouted: "Kou Zhong, see off the guests!"
"Kou Shi Lang!"
Qian Yuan was anxious when he saw that Kou Ji's oil and salt would not be imported.
Kou Ji stopped paying attention to him, and let Kou Zhong lead someone to blast him out of Kou Mansion.
After blasting the people out, Kou Zhong went back to the side hall and asked Kou Ji with some doubts, "Young master, you really don’t plan to have a good talk with them? If they make this matter to the side hall, it won’t do you any good... "
Kou Ji carried his hands on his back and said calmly: "If they really have the courage, they won't run to the house to find me."
Kou Zhong pondered: "Little Master, you mean, they will keep this matter secret?"
Kou Ji nodded slowly.
Kou Zhong wondered: "But the people of Sichuan Mansion have already turned the sky over. Can they hide it?"
Kou Ji smiled and said: "Aren't we still behind the scenes
Let you go to Chuanfu to buy Jiaozi from the people. What happened to the acquisition? "
Kou Zhong hurriedly said: "Spent more than one million Guans, and received nearly three million Guans of Jiaozi."
Kou Ji slowly nodded and said: "Order to go down, continue to take. We will help them relieve pressure, they will not jump the wall in a hurry.
They will try their best to solve this trouble..."
Kou Zhong nodded thoughtfully, "The old servant understands something."
Kou Ji continued to order: "When we receive more than five million pennies, we will send someone to the Jiaozi shop in Shuzhong to redeem the money."
"In the name of the house?"
"You don't have to collect money in the name of the house, people will take care of you?"
"The old servant understands."
"I will use my grandfather's post again to inform a generation of soldiers and horses from all over the Sichuan province and let them show us several major merchants such as the Mu family.
If someone takes the opportunity to escape, let me catch them all. "
"Hey..."
"..."
Ordered Kou Zhong to do something.
Kou Ji wandered back to the room and continued to read the letter.
Yang Wenguang sent more than one letter from Baozhou.
There are several letters.
Three of them were about streamlining the Serbian army.
The 50,000 troops of the Serbian Army lost a lot in the First World War against the Liao State, and it has not been added so far.
Yang Wenguang made a simplification on this basis. In the end, there were only 6,000 soldiers in the Serbian army.
According to Yang Wenguang's idea, after the simplification of the Bulgarian Serb army, the number of the Bulgarian Serb army should be around 8,000.
After all, before streamlining, he counted the young men in the camp.
But in the process of streamlining, two thousand young men withdrew from the Serbian army.
Ask the reason.
The soldiers of the Bulgarian Army answered very simply.
They will stay in Baozhou and help Kou Ji raise horses.
The reason for this is also because the Song Dynasty dispatched troops and horses system.
In short, the soldiers of the Serbian Army have discussed that no matter where they are transferred, they must leave enough manpower to help Kou Jiyu Ma.
Kou Ji couldn't laugh or cry about it.
They only wanted to help Kou Ji to do things, but they never thought that once they seceded from the military, the court would no longer give them food and money, and the ragged blades in their hands would also be turned over to the court.
Since then, they are no different for civilians.
The only difference is that they do not have to pay taxes to the court for the time being.
The food grown in their fields is enough for them to live, plus the poultry they raise on weekdays, but they don’t worry about starving to death.
But without a weapon in his hand, how to protect the horse
Really have a conflict with people, do you fight for your life with the flesh
After thinking about it, Yang Wenguang proposed to give them the status of a village soldier.
Let them be equipped with swords reasonably.
However, Yang Wenguang's status as a soldier was not the final decision, so Yang Wenguang asked Kou Ji to find a way.
In addition, Yang Wenguang sent a letter to Kou Ji, asking Kou Ji to find a way to help him keep the six thousand soldiers and horses under his hands.
The elite soldiers he selected with great difficulty were transferred out of Baozhou without training. It is hard to guarantee that they will not become what they used to be when they go to other places.
In addition, Yang Wenguang also hoped that Kou Ji could get him a draft document from the Privy Council so that he could select young men and women to join the army in Baozhou to make up for the vacancy of the Serbian army.
This time the court abolished its troops in the northeast frontier, and the Serbian Army was among them.
The original 50,000 troops of the Bulgarian Serb army was cut in half, and now only 25,000 troops remain.
What Yang Wenguang wants to make up is the 25,000 troops.
"It's really kind of you to use me..."
Kou Ji sighed while shaking the letter in his hand.
Although he was complaining, his heart was sweet.
Yang Wenguang can ask him to do things without being polite, so when he wants to ask Yang Wenguang to lead his troops to help him do things, Yang Wenguang will not refuse. This is a very good phenomenon.
Kou Ji could not be stopped by giving the soldiers and horses of the Bulgarian Serb army the status of a township soldier.
But if they want them to maintain their combat effectiveness, and on this basis, to exert greater combat effectiveness, they cannot rely on the court.
The imperial court sent bad blades to the Xiang army, and the things sent to the town soldiers were not as good as the bad blades.
Therefore, the imperial court cannot be relied on for ordnance.
Kou Ji's own thought of another way.
The only problem is that if they are equipped with too good ordnance, the court may not agree.
So Kou Ji had to find a way to solve this trouble.
Kou Ji thought about it for a while in his yard, and asked the maid to put him in a court dress and went into the palace.
Into the palace, all the way to Shishitang.
I saw Zhao Zhen sitting on the dragon chair, pretending to be busy reading the memorials.
Kou Zhun, Xiang Minzhong, and Wang Zeng are busy dealing with official affairs.
Since Kou Zhun supported the civil servants and began to streamline the Xiang army, the three of them have been busy.
Streamlining the Xiang army is not just as simple as abolishing the Xiang army.
After the troop is abolished, how to arrange the soldiers who eliminated the battalion and how to arrange the officials who eliminated the battalion needs to be handled properly.
"Not enough... Not enough... Still not enough..."
Wang Zeng squeezed a book in his hand, frowned and shook his head vigorously.
Xiang Minzhong held the teapot, took a deep breath, and said with a chucking mouth: "There is no way if it is not enough, you can't let them grab the ground."
Kou Zhun held the memorial and said in a deep voice: "The number of troops dismissed from the four frontiers in the northeast is 200,000, including their families, and countless.
If one is not handled well, it is a military disaster. "
Wang Zeng said solemnly: "The northeast border is no better than the northern border.
The northern border has the territory we occupied from Xixia, which can be shared with the people, but the northeast border has nothing.
Nearly all places are owned by them.
Most of the land of no owner is at the border of the two countries.
There is not much difference between letting them go to farm at the junction of the two countries and letting them die. "
Xiang Minzhong groaned: "There is no way if there is no land... How about relocating them to the southwest?"
Wang Zeng rolled his eyes and said, "Let's not talk about how much food and grass it would take to move them to the southwest.
We moved them to the Southwest. When the Southwest soldiers were abolished, where did they move to? "
Xiang Minzhong was speechless for a while.
"Kou Ji?!"
At this moment, Zhao Zhen, who was bored on the dragon chair, saw Kou Ji who was standing at the entrance of the temple and did not want to come in, and called out.
For an instant.
The eyes of the three old men fell on Kou Ji.
Kou Ji entered the hall and said, "Chen Kou Ji has seen the official house, and has seen three superiors."
Zhao Zhen grinned and said: "Come here!"
"Wait!"
Xiang Minzhong stopped aloud, staring at Kou Ji and asked: "Smelly boy, you have always had a lot of ghost ideas. Tell the old man, do I have extra land for Da Song to settle the people?"
Kou Ji heard the conversation of the three of them at the door just now. Now that he heard Xiang Minzhong's question, he naturally knew the meaning of Xiang Minzhong's words.
He faintly said: "Half of Song Dynasty is..."
"Puff..."
Wang Zenggang picked up his teacup and took a sip of his tea. Hearing this, he spouted.
"Boy, are you fucking with the three of me?"
Wang Zeng shouted in irritation.
Xiang Minzhong has an urge to hit someone.
Kou Zhun was the only one, thoughtful.
Of the three, Kou Zhun knew Kou Ji the best, and he knew that Kou Ji would not be aimless.
It's just that he thinks twice, and can't think about the deep meaning of Kou Ji's words.
Xiang Minzhong didn't have the leisure time of Kou Zhun to think about the deep meaning of Kou Ji's words. He directly said: "Smelly boy, if you don't tell the old man, the old man will make you look good."
Kou Ji was not afraid, but instead asked, "Tell me why, should I be promoted?"
Xiang Minzhong was a little speechless by Kou Jizha.
Staring at Kou Ji for a long time, coldly snorted: "Do you still want to be promoted? If you are promoted, others will not be able to live."
"I will promote you!"
Zhao Zhen blurted out.
After saying this, I regretted it.
He is no longer his former child, knowing that Kou Ji is now in office, there is no way he can be promoted.
But he can control his mind, but he can't control his mouth.
Ugh!
It's so difficult for me!
Kou Ji, Kou Zhun, Xiang Minzhong, and Wang Zeng looked at Zhao Zhen with strange expressions.
Zhao Zhen pretended to be calm, and coughed dryly: "Xiao Kou Aiqing worked hard for the country, and even worked so hard to go to the Liao country. I worked hard and made great achievements, but I did not grant a reward.
It is my fault. "
Kou Ji was taken aback when he heard the words, then bowed and said, "I thank the officials for their love.
Officials can have this heart, and the ministers are grateful inexplicably.
It doesn't matter whether you get promoted or not. "
When Zhao Zhen heard the words, he sighed: "Xiao Kou Aiqing really is the first loyal and loyal from the past and present."
"The official family is also the first Mingjun..."
Kou Zhun, Xiang Minzhong, and Wang Zeng listened to each other's admiration, and the corners of their mouths twitched.
If it weren't for Zhao Zhen's identity, they really wanted to ask these two little guys what their faces were.
"cough!"
Kou Zhun coughed heavily, interrupting the two to flatter each other.
Kou Zhun stared at Kou Ji, frowning and said: "Tell the old man what you said before. What is half of the Song Dynasty?"
Kou Ji arched his hands and said, "I have been in the Song Dynasty from south to north, and there are countless fertile fields invaded by the government and wealthy families.
Take Baozhou as an example.
His predecessor, Baozhou Zhizhou, combined with giants, occupied tens of thousands of acres of fertile land.
Tens of thousands of mu of fertile land is enough to feed tens of thousands of people.
There were hundreds of prefectures in the Song Dynasty, countless such corrupt officials, and countless fertile fields occupied.
If it can recover all of it, let alone raising hundreds of thousands, it will be easy to raise millions or tens of millions of people. "
The three Kou Zhun frowned upon hearing this.
Wang Zeng said solemnly: "Lu Yijian patrolled the roads and found a lot of fertile fields, but not as many as you said.
And most of them have an owner, and they have already returned the original owner. "
Kou Ji smiled without saying a word.
Xiang Minzhong said faintly: "I'm afraid that one hand fell into the other, and it didn't fall into the hands of the people at all."
Kou Zhun frowned and said, "Even if you are right, it is not half the land of Song Dynasty."
Kou Ji smiled and said, "I haven't finished talking about the next official.
In addition to the fertile fields in the hands of these corrupt officials and big wealthy families, there are also fertile fields in the hands of various martial artists and civil officials who relied on their power to embezzle.
and also… "
"What else?"
"There are also various Taoist temples and fields in various temples. I have always treated people outside the party in the Song Dynasty, so people outside the party don't have to pay taxes on farming.
And I have tens of thousands of temples and Taoist temples in the Song Dynasty.
The smallest temple below has hundreds of acres of land, and the largest temple has tens of thousands of land.
Take the Daxiangguo Temple as an example.
In addition to the two imperial estates given by Emperor Taizong, Daxiangguo Temple also has 160,000 mu of farmland 30 miles away from the city of Bianjing.
Among them are rewards from the imperial court, donations from benevolent men and women, and some purchased by Daxiangguo Temple itself. "
