The purpose of Kou Ji's move, Mu Chong and the three understood almost instantly.
This is to prevent others from forging, and to prevent the life underneath from becoming ill-intentioned and harming the interests of Jiaozipu with others.
A deeper understanding can also be used as a means of imperialism.
People with high status know far more than people with low status, which consolidates the status of people with high status.
To Kou Ji's request, Mu Chong nodded their heads in agreement, without disagreement.
Kou Ji took back the jiaozi template and put it in the box. After it was locked, he put away the key and reminded the three of them: "The newly issued jiaozi is not low-cost, especially the color ink used in printing jiaozi. The price of ink is much higher than that of ordinary ink."
Meng Weizhong, Qian Le, and Mu Chong grinned upon hearing this.
Qian Le tentatively said with a smile: "Can they be more expensive than gold?"
Kou Ji shook his head and said: "That's not..."
The three of Mu Chong smiled knowingly.
Mu Chong smiled and said: "Everything is in charge of Shi Lang Kou, and the three of us have no objection to the printing of Jiaozi."
Merchants are highly profitable, but they are also willing to pay for the capital.
No matter how high the cost of a Jiaozi is, it cannot exceed the usual money.
After the issuance of Jiaozi, the lowest face value is always the money.
As long as Jiaozi can be issued, it is a profit for them.
As for the issue of one or two articles, or the issue of the handover of more than a dozen articles of copper coins, none of the four people mentioned it.
In the eyes of the four of them, one or two pennies, or more than a dozen pennies, were not eligible to be exchanged in Jiaozipu.
From the moment of birth, Jiaozi has served businessmen and wealthy families.
Jiaozi is not cheap enough to serve one or two or more than a dozen coins.
The four people sat together and talked for a while.
During the talks, Qian Le mentioned the issue of the pricing of the custody fee collected after the issuance.
Meng Weizhong mentioned the issue that after the issuance of Jiaozi, the copper money stored in the warehouse can be used to lend money for profit.
Mu Chong mentioned the transportation and storage of copper coins.
Kou Ji answered each of the questions raised by the three.
With Kou Ji answering many questions, there is no need for the three of them to continue to think about it. They can act according to the answers they get from Kou Ji's mouth.
After some talks, the three of them were only convinced and awed by Kou Ji.
They also understand that cooperating with Kou Ji is the wisest choice.
Among the three of them, some of them had also had different intentions before, thinking that if they fell apart with Kou Ji, they would make friends by themselves.
After talking to Kou Ji, they no longer have this kind of disagreement.
As they talked with Kou Ji deeper, they found that Kou Ji's understanding of Jiaozi had exceeded their cognition too much.
If they were to make friends by themselves and compete with Kou Ji, they would only lose even their pants.
The four chatted until the evening.
Meng Weizhong enthusiastically invited Kou Ji to go to a prostitution in Bianjing.
Kou Ji declined his invitation.
In the envious eyes of the three of them, they handed the box containing the Jiaozi template to Lu Ming, and the key was also passed to Lu Ming.
He also urged Lu Ming that he would start printing with the people sent from his residence tomorrow, and he would send someone to send the colored ink for printing.
Lu Ming carefully received the box and the key, and found a rope on the spot, tied the key, and hung it around his neck.
He solemnly promised Kou Ji: "The key is here, and the person is there. If the person is gone, the villain will also find ways to return the key to the young master."
Kou Ji slapped Lu Ming on the shoulder dumbfoundedly and said: "Don't be so stupid. The key is lost. Come and find me. I can make another edition. There is no need to bet my life for it. This thing is very valuable to others, yes. As far as I am concerned, your young master is not worth a lot of money."
Seeing this, the three of Mu Chong looked envious.
They suddenly felt that being Kou Ji's servant seemed to be better than being Kou Ji's partner.
Kou Ji instructed Lu Ming, hugged Mu Chong and left Jiaozipu.
Back to the house.
As soon as I walked to the main entrance, I found that the main entrance was full of scholars.
Each of them held rolls of articles and ingots of gold and silver in their hands and stuffed them into the hands of the Kou Mansion gate.
Kou Mansion looked at the ingot of gold and silver with enthusiasm, but he did not dare to accept a single ingot.
The front entrance was crowded with people, Kou Ji couldn't get in, so he could only enter the mansion through the secret door of Kou Mansion.
Once in the house.
Kou Ji recruited the housekeeper.
"Those scholars gather at the door, what are they doing?"
The steward said respectfully: "If you go back to the young master, those scholars are all here to contribute."
"Volume?"
Kou Ji suspiciously said: "My grandfather is not in the house, what is the use of them?"
When the manager heard the words, he froze for a while, and then said suspiciously: "Little Master, Qiu Wei is coming soon. You are one of Qiu Wei's assistant exams. They come to the mansion at this time to cast papers, they just want you to see it. Take a look at their literary talents, and then when they are scoring the Qiuwei scientific examination papers, they will lead them one or two so that they will remain on the list."
After a pause, the steward added: "In previous years, when the master was the examiner, more people came to submit papers."
After being reminded by the manager, Kou Ji suddenly remembered that he was still an assistant exam for the Qiuwei expedition in Bianjing.
"I was so busy dealing with Jiaozipu's affairs, I almost forgot such an important thing..."
Kou Ji stomped and sighed.
"Jiaozipu?"
The manager looked weird and said, "Young master, haven't you been staying at the house to accompany the young lady?"
Kou Ji glared at the steward and yelled: "I want you to talk more! Send someone to tell his wife that I will go to Li Mansion to discuss the Qiuwei scientific expedition, and I will not return to the mansion tonight."
Leave this sentence behind.
Kou Ji left Kou Mansion through the secret door in the stunned look of the manager.
In order to avoid being taken down by the inspectorate who patrolled the street as a night-breaker, Koji specially hung his waist tag on the donkey's ears and wandered towards Li Mansion.
however.
On the way to Li's Mansion, he ran into seven or eight waves of inspectors, but no one came forward to take him.
Although night has fallen, there are many pedestrians on the street.
Some people drank and sang in the street with their hip flasks, others wrestled on the street shirtless in cold weather, and drank and slumped on the ground, saying that they were worms in the trees.
There are all kinds of people.
The people from the inspection department seem to be unable to see these people. They only arrest those who are drunk and make trouble on the street.
Kou Ji called to a group of patrol officers who were patrolling the street.
The soldier from the inspection department took a picture of Kou Ji with a lantern, and after seeing the waist tag hung on the donkey's ear, he hurriedly bowed and saluted.
"People from the humble ranks have met Shangguan."
In fact, they didn't see clearly what Kou Ji's waist tag was written on, but vaguely saw the pattern on it and the style of the waist tag, they knew it was someone they couldn't afford to offend.
As for the authenticity of the waistband, they did not doubt.
Those who rushed to the street to stop them and asked them for questioning were definitely not fake officials.
After Kou Ji waited for them to bow and salute, he asked, "Can't help Jin Wu tonight?"
The soldiers of the Inspection Department were stunned, and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid Shangguan hasn't been on the streets for a long time, right?"
Kou Ji nodded slowly.
The soldiers of the Inspection Department arched their hands in the direction of the imperial city and said with a wry smile: "When the first emperor was in power, repeated curfews were not effective. There were always noble leaders who committed the night, and they couldn't help it.
That is to say, during the period when Emperor Xian was sick on the couch, and during the period after Emperor Xian's death, under the strict orders of the Taishi, our brothers from the inspection department dispatched together and barely forbidden for a period of time.
A few days ago, when Shi Lang Kou got married, the official family took the lead in the night, and the curfew was unstoppable. "
Hearing this, Kou Ji said with some dumbfounding: "Okay, I know, you guys continue to do the errands."
The soldiers of the Inspection Department arched their hands and prepared to leave.
After two steps, the soldier of the inspection department in the lead seemed to remember something, and caught up with Kou Ji, who was swaying forward on a donkey.
"Where is Shangguan going?"
Kou Ji tugged the donkey's ears, stopped it, and asked, "You want to ask me?"
The soldier from the inspection department accompanied a smiling face and said, "The villain dare not... It's just that when the villain came just now, not far in front, he ran into a group of scholars. They seemed to be celebrating something and blocking the street.
If Shangguan wants to pass by, I'm afraid it will be difficult. "
Kou Ji frowned and said, "When the street is blocked, why don't you drive them away?"
The soldier of the Inspection Department smiled bitterly: "The little people dare not..."
"Why don't you dare..."
"If the villains drive them out and injure one or two of them, tomorrow morning, there will be impeachment villains and others to abuse scholars. By then, not only the villains will suffer, but the upper officials of the villains will also be reprimanded.”
"..."
Kou Ji snorted coldly, "My Da Song officials still dare not stand in the way and disturb the people. A group of scholars are nothing."
"Go ahead!"
"Shangguan..."
"Make way!"
The soldier of the inspection department agreed with a bitter expression, and led the crowd to clear the way.
The soldiers of the Inspection Department only kindly reminded Kou Ji to make a good bond.
Unexpectedly, I ran into a tough guy who wanted to trouble those scholars.
Are scholars so annoying
It's easy to say it's easy to mess with, and it's easy to talk to it.
This scores people.
Civil officials teach scholars, just as they teach grandsons, how they want to teach and how to teach.
But if these soldiers are teaching scholars, they are asking for trouble.
Let alone whether these scholars have any background behind them.
The impeachment of the censors alone is enough for them to drink a pot.
With the soldiers of the Inspection Department clearing the way, the journey on Kou Ji Road was faster.
It didn't take long for the group of scholars to make trouble.
Seven or eight scholars, drunk and drunk, laid a blanket in the middle of the street and shook their heads in pursuit of each other.
On the blanket they were sitting on, there were three or four women serving on them.
After Kou Ji arrived, he didn't rush to clean up them, but sat quietly on the back of the donkey, listening to them flattering each other.
He really wanted to know what kind of happy event these seven or eight scholars had, it was worth blocking the street to celebrate.
Kou Ji frowned after listening intently for a while.
The reason why they were stuck in the street to celebrate is because they voted in the Kaifeng prefect’s mansion today and won praise from the Kaifeng prefect.
Others, with their old identities, went to the Li Mansion to vote for the papers, and they also voted in. It seems that they have gotten some promises.
In accordance with past practice, their Qiuwei exams were already an ironclad matter.
The co-author has not yet started the exam, the quota is allotted
Isn't my assistant exam a display
"Take all of them and take them directly to the Criminal Ministry."
Kou Ji coldly ordered.
The soldiers of the Inspection Department were a little embarrassed.
The chief inspector general said with a bitter face: "Shangguan, the villain listened carefully just now. Several of them are officials and eunuchs, and their backgrounds are not low.
Don't embarrass the villain. "
Kou Ji took off the waist card from the donkey's ears, threw it into the arms of the head of the inspector, and snorted coldly: "Catch people! Whoever is looking for trouble, let them come to me directly!"
Under the shining of lanterns, the soldiers of the Inspection Department carefully checked Kou Ji's waist card. After seeing the waist card, all of them were shocked.
"Kou... Kou... Kou Shi Lang?!"
The soldier of the Inspection Department respectfully handed the waist card to Kou Ji.
Then one by one straightened their backs, rushed up and pressed down the scholars.
The woman who was waiting for them screamed.
After the scholars were taken down, they shouted loudly.
"My father is Jiangning Mansion Shao Yin, who dares to take me?!"
"My grandfather..."
"My brother..."
"..."
Kou Ji stared at them coldly and instructed the soldiers of the inspection department: "Write down what they said, turn around and organize it into a document, and pass it to the staff."
Abandoning these words, Kou Ji rode on a donkey, stepped on their blankets, and slowly passed by.
Until Kou Ji left, the clamoring scholars were still clamoring.
After Kou Ji left, the head of the inspector general stared at the scholars who were still clamoring and cursed in a low voice.
"a bunch of idiots… "
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Kou Ji appear again in front of him riding a donkey.
Kou Ji threw his waist card to him again, and faintly commanded: "Hold my waist card and search the entire Bianjing city. When I met this type of people, I caught them all."
Upon hearing the words, the inspector generals and soldiers took a breath, and said respectfully: "Here..."
Kou Ji's words were light and airy, but the head of the inspector general was shocked.
In the entire city of Bianjing, this is probably the only one who dares to brutally attack scholars.
Zhao Zhen, the first official of the Song Dynasty, wanted to do this, so he asked the Manchu Civil and Martial Arts whether he would agree.
Kou Ji left again on a donkey.
The patrol inspector led by the army soldiers and his men began to arrest people all over Bianjing.
When Kou Ji arrived at Li Mansion, Mingyue was already high above the horizon.
But there was a loud voice at the door of Li Mansion.
The readers who posted the paper seemed to be tired, and they blocked the door of Li's mansion one by one, refusing to leave if they said anything.
Kou Ji rode a donkey to the back door of Li Mansion and saw the same sight.
He shook his head, riding a donkey to go home.
The entrance of Li's mansion was blocked like this, and he couldn't even go in.
Just after Kou Ji rode a donkey out of the alley where Li Mansion was located, a faint voice sounded in the tea shed not far from the entrance of the alley.
"Boy, come and sit with the old man..."
Kou Ji was taken aback for a while, then rode over on a donkey, looked up, and was taken aback for a while.
"Grandpa Li, what are you doing here if you don't return home in the middle of the night?"
Li Di lay on a recliner in the tea shed and said quietly, "Didn't you also return to the house?"
