Kou Ji said with emotion: "It's useless! There are still people venting questions."
Zhao Zhen was a little dumbfounded.
Kou Ji continued: "The minister used to think that the lack of good and bad officials in the court was due to the corruption and erosion of the officialdom. Now it seems that the roots are in the imperial examination.
I have been recruiting scholars for many years, and I am afraid that 80% of the officials are the jinshis who have passed the cheating examination.
It's no wonder that after entering officialdom, they will frequently embezzle and frequently pay bribes.
It turned out that I learned this during the imperial examination. "
Zhao Zhen's face was a little dark.
Kou Ji said again: "The minister suddenly felt that this is a very profitable business. If Gong Gong Chen can raise a few points and ask the minister to sell those test questions, the minister will surely be able to sell it for a big price."
Zhao Zhen's face turned darker when he heard this.
Chen Lin was anxious.
He stepped forward, ran forward, and said angrily: "Kou Shilang, don't talk nonsense. Our family has never divulged test questions."
Zhao Zhen angrily said: "No wonder Kou Ji will find out so many corrupt officials, no wonder the corrupt officials in the world have been repeatedly banned. These damn slaves and maids did not abide by the rules and dared to do tricks in the imperial examination.
Chen Lin, check with me to find out the matter.
I want to see who gave them the courage to make them dare to act so recklessly. "
Chen Lin's expression eased a little when she heard this.
Obviously, Zhao Zhen did not listen to Kou Ji's slander, and misunderstood that he was also a bad person.
Chen Lin glared at Kou Ji fiercely, then bowed to Zhao Zhen and said, "The slave maid will check..."
After watching Chen Lin go, Kou Ji walked a few steps forward, leaning in front of Zhao Zhen, and deliberately shook the test questions in his hand to a conspicuous place.
This immediately attracted Zhao Zhen's attention.
Zhao Zhen stared at the test questions in Kou Ji's hand and asked: "Is this the test question you asked for the Qiuwei Branch?"
Kou Ji nodded slowly.
Zhao Zhen said with a stern face: "You hand over this test to me, and I will protect it personally to see who dares to give them their idea."
Seeing that Zhao Zhen had taken the bait, Kou Ji laughed in a low voice: "That's not necessary. Officials have to learn governance from the Taishi every day. How can they have so much time to look at this set of test questions."
Zhao Zhen hesitated: "But after putting this set of test questions into the room, what if the slaves and maids do not follow the rules, and they secretly leak it out?"
Kou Ji smiled calmly and said, "I'm not afraid if you leak it."
Zhao Zhen was taken aback for a moment, then stared at the test paper in Kou Ji's hand, and asked, "Is there an article in this set of test questions?"
Kou Ji held the test paper in both hands and sent it to Zhao Zhen, smiling: "Please visit the official family."
Zhao Zhen picked up the test question, turned it around and glanced, thinking that he had made a mistake, took another closer look, and then his eyes widened.
Zhao Zhen squeezed the test question in his hand and exclaimed: "This is the test question?"
Kou Ji pretended to be puzzled: "Is there a problem?"
Zhao Zhen pointed to a question on the test, and said in amazement: "Question: There are 367,824 people in Cangzhou, 132 people are born every day, 156 people die, and they are missing. Eleven people... Ten years later, the imperial court enlisted in Cangzhou, how many?"
Kou Ji stared at Zhao Zhen and said calmly: "Is there a problem?"
Zhao Zhen hesitated again and again, saying: "I feel there is a problem, but I can't say where there is a problem."
Kou Ji said: "That is no problem."
Zhao Zhen nodded slowly, looked at Kou Ji, and asked: "After that ten years, how many people will the court enlist in Cangzhou?"
Kou Ji spread his hands and said, "How do I know."
Zhao Zhen's eyes widened, "Then you still ask the question? You don't know the answer to the question, how do you let the students answer it."
Kou Ji said confidently: "I have an answer."
Zhao Zhen stared at Kou Ji seriously and asked, "Then tell me, what is the answer?"
Kou Ji said lightly: "Look at the mood of the officials..."
Zhao Zhen looked dumbfounded.
Kou Ji explained: "Ten years later, the official family is already in charge of the government, and the number of people who need to be recruited from Cangzhou depends on the mood of the official family? , Then enlist a little more people."
After the explanation, Kou Ji winked at Zhao Zhen and said: "Officials, can the officials explain correctly?"
Zhao Zhen glanced at Kou Ji and said dumbfounded: "Yes, yes, but if you take out this test question, you will be easily scolded. Not only the Manchu Civil and Martial Association will impeach you, but even scholars under the world will scold you. "
Kou Ji said indifferently: "The minister also knows that there is this result, so I plan to find a taller one to help the minister stop this trouble."
"Tall?"
Zhao Zhen asked suspiciously: "Who?"
Kou Ji glanced at Zhao Zhen, and said nothing.
Zhao Zhen was stunned, his eyes widened and said: "Is that tall man?"
Kou Ji nodded decisively and said: "The official family is the first person under the sky, and of course it is the tallest one in Song Dynasty."
Zhao Zhen glanced around, and saw that no one was paying attention, he spit, rolled his eyes and said: "Are you still the nine-year-old boy back then, let you cheat
I will not agree to your stupid request and go out to scold you. "
Kou Ji scowled and said with a serious look: "The minister is honest and loyal, but he has never deceived the officials."
Zhao Zhen hummed: "Of the people I know, you are the worst."
Kou Ji's face went dark when he heard the words.
Seeing that Kou Ji's face was ugly, Zhao Zhen hurriedly changed his words: "But I like you to be bad. If you are not bad, you can't beat the corrupt officials. Your bad is true and bad, not like those courtiers in the court Everyone was pretending to be on the bright side, but their bones were completely broken, and they were doing some male thieves and prostitutes behind their backs."
Kou Ji glared at Zhao Zhen, "Are you scolding me?"
Zhao Zhen said seriously: "I definitely didn't scold you, I was scolding those courtiers in the court."
Kou Ji didn't bother to continue to care about Zhao Zhen, he said: "The officials don't want to be good officials?"
Zhao Zhen answered without any hesitation: "I want to..."
Kou Ji continued to ask: "The officials don't want political clarity?"
"also want."
"Who did the minister do his best to eliminate the drawbacks of the imperial examination?"
"I!"
"For whom did the minister rush to and fro?"
"It's me too!"
"..."
"Then you can't do this bad thing, officials?"
Kou Ji's last question was very sincere.
Zhao Zhen bitterly said with a small face: "I do..."
Kou Ji admired: "The official family is indeed a good official..."
Before Kou Ji's words were finished, Zhao Zhen interrupted Kou Ji's words and said frustratedly: "Don't shoot my horse. If I am scolded, you have to block me."
After a pause, Zhao Zhen said with a bitter face: "Moreover, I feel a little wronged in my heart... Obviously it is a bad idea you thought, but I want me to help you replace the infamy."
Kou Ji said earnestly: "The minister is also for the official family, for the country's society."
Zhao Zhen sighed and said, "I know you are for me, for the sake of the country, but I still feel wronged in my heart."
"How about? Pick a big head and thick neck instead of infamy?"
"Who?"
"How about Wang Qinruo?"
"Wang Aiqing said that he would not be sick for many days, so he planted his head, and no one would believe it.
"How about Chen Lin?"
"Um... Then I'll come."
"..."
Kou Ji raised his eyebrows unexpectedly.
Zhao Zhen murmured and explained: "This infamy is not light, I will bear it, and at most I will receive a few curses. If it is pushed on Chen Lin's head, the Manchu civilization will have to force him to death.
Kou Ji sighed: "The officials are kind."
Zhao Zhen had a bright smile on his face, but he did not speak.
Kou Ji pretended to ponder for a while, then suddenly asked, "Is the official short of money?"
Zhao Zhen stared sideways at Kou Ji. After watching for a long time, he asked uncertainly: "Should I be missing?"
Kou Ji felt a little dumbfounded when he heard this.
He found that he was talking about this issue with Zhao Zhen, it seemed a bit idiot.
Although Zhao Zhen is slowly learning governance, he is slowly taking over the power of the court.
But the Treasury is still in charge of Kou Zhun and Sansi, and Nei Treasury is in charge of Liu E, and he has no access to money.
He doesn't lack food or clothing on weekdays, and there is no place to spend money. Money is actually not important to him, so he didn't care about it.
Kou Ji pondered for a moment, and smiled: "The minister knew that the official's helper replaced the infamy, and he was a bit wronged, so the minister still intends to give the official a chance to make money. But according to the official's meaning, it seems that there is no shortage of money, the minister. I won't talk about it."
Zhao Zhen was taken aback for a moment, and then asked: "What opportunity to make money? Can I make money too?"
Although Zhao Zhen doesn't care about money, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know the importance of money.
Kou Ji deliberately lifted Zhao Zhen's appetite, and said lightly: "The officials are not short of money, why do you ask?"
Zhao Zhen straightened up his face immediately, and said seriously: "I am missing."
Kou Ji suggested: "The minister tell the officials?"
Zhao Zhen nodded vigorously.
Kou Ji said: "The minister found something called Jiaozi in the city of Bianjing. This thing is very profitable. The minister took part in it and divided it into four components. The minister left one portion and the other three. Give it to the official."
Kou Ji did not explain to Zhao Zhen the usefulness of Jiaozi and how Jiaozi makes a profit.
At present, Jiaozi is still in the initial stage, and there are not many people who know that Jiaozi can make a profit.
Kou Jiruo gave Zhao Zhen a detailed explanation of the usefulness of Jiaozi and how to make a profit. It is hard to guarantee that Zhao Zhen would not say it, and then be remembered by others.
For example, a woman who hides in her palace waiting for her chance.
If she makes trouble behind her back and makes trouble for Jiaozipu, it will definitely not be good for the development of Jiaozipu.
As for whether Jiaozi will be taken away by her, Kou Ji is not worried.
The things he planned with one hand, and the countless secret hands left behind, could not be easily taken away by others.
Zhao Zhen was taken aback for a moment, frowned and said, "How can I take your things?"
Kou Ji smiled indifferently: "The official gangster replaced the infamy. This is a courtesy of the minister."
Zhao Zhen still frowned.
He looked at Kou Ji with a sincere expression and said, "But I don't want to take advantage of you."
Kou Ji said seriously: "The minister still expects the official family to write a sign. Don't the official family think that their own words are worth three elements?"
Zhao Zhen was stunned, his brows furrowed tighter, and he whispered: "Taishi said, my imperial pen should not be taken lightly."
Kou Ji smiled and said: "This is the value of the official imperial pen. There are official imperial pens, and it is enough to occupy three elements. If the official feels wrong, the minister can not tell others, it is the official imperial pen."
Zhao Zhen hesitated and nodded, "Then I promise you."
After a pause, he said again: "But I don't want to take you too much, so how about the three components, how about we half-and-half?"
Kou Ji pondered for a while, then smiled: "Then one person is 20%, how about it?"
Zhao Zhen smiled with satisfaction: "Okay! You and my brother, one person is 20%."
Kou Ji was taken aback, hurriedly stepped forward, covered Zhao Zhen's mouth, and reminded: "Don't talk nonsense about this."
The smile on Zhao Zhen's face is even brighter.
"presumptuous!"
Chen Lin, the dead eunuch, didn't know when he would return. He saw Kou Ji holding Zhao Zhen's mouth, shouting, and ran over quickly.
Kou Ji quickly let go of Zhao Zhen and stepped aside.
Chen Lin stared at Kou Ji angrily, and roared: "Kou Ji! You are bold!"
Zhao Zhen tugged on Chen Lin's sleeves, and laughed in a low voice: "Chen Banban doesn't have to be angry, Kou Ji is playing with me."
Chen Lin stared at her and shouted, "You shouldn't do anything to the officials if you are playing around. This is a crime."
Zhao Zhen's face was drooping, and he said dissatisfied: "Are you saying that I am wrong?"
Chen Lin hurriedly bowed her waist and said, "The slave girl dare not."
Zhao Zhen nodded in satisfaction, and said to Chen Lin: "Then you don't want to scold Kou Ji any more, I am just such a friend of him."
"Slaves follow the order."
Chen Lin bowed her waist and gave Kou Ji a vicious look when she raised her head.
Seeing this, Kou Ji arched his hands and said: "The minister first retire..."
Zhao Zhen said, "I promised that you haven't given you the imperial pen yet."
Chen Lin looked at Kou Ji suspiciously, her eyes full of vigilance.
Zhao Zhen carried his hands on his back and said, "You and I go to the side hall. After I write it, you take it out and you don't have to run another trip."
Kou Ji followed Zhao Zhen to a side hall in Chen Lin's anti-thief gaze.
There is no one else in the side hall.
It seemed that Chen Lin had specially cleaned up Zhao Zhen's solitary place.
Zhao Zhen walked up to the case in the hall and asked Chen Lin to help him study ink. He took a pen to think about it and wrote a word.
Zhao!
Then he raised his head and asked Kou Ji, "How?"
Kou Ji shook his head decisively, "Not suitable... Not suitable..."
Zhao Zhen successively wrote down vocabulary such as'Tianjia' and'Tianzi'.
Kou Ji shook his head repeatedly.
I really want to use the words written by Zhao Zhen as a signboard. Needless to say, others know that this is a royal brush.
If Kou Ji dare to say that these are not imperial pens, Jiaozipu will be seized the next day.
Chen Lin's eyes looking at Kou Ji were already full of cold light.
Kou Ji's scalp was a little numb.
Seeing that Zhao Zhen wrote another word for'huang', he hurriedly said: "Officials, how about writing a word?"
Zhao Zhen was taken aback when he heard the words, and then smiled: "One word... This is good, this is good."
Zhao Zhen immediately picked up his pen and wrote the two characters'one character'.
Kou Ji originally wanted to remind Zhao Zhen, but when he saw that the cold light in Chen Lin's eyes had not concealed it, he sighed and said no more.
By default, the two words "one word" are used as the signboard.
After taking these two words, Kou Ji quit.
Chen Lin yin testly said: "Our family will give one to Kou Shi Lang..."
Kou Ji knew in his heart that if he wanted to trick Zhao Zhen, he had to pass the level of Chen Lin, a loyal servant.
He didn't rush to leave either, but when Chen Lin walked in front of him, he left the Piandian together.
