For some time after that, everything was calm in Bianjing.
It seems that Kou Ji's appointment in charge of the official affairs of the Ministry of Industry has been forgotten by people.
Some people who were worried that Kou Ji would start to grab and seize power after he arrived at the Ministry of Industry, also relaxed their vigilance.
Kou Ji seemed to really regard the Ministry of Industry as an old-age yamen. He did not go to work every day and stayed at the house, either reading with Xiang Yan, or going fishing with Xiang Minzhong in the Jinshui River Bastard.
The old and the young have become a hegemon by the Jinshui River.
As long as the two of them occupy the Jinshui River, no one dares to do business on the Jinshui River.
Some big wealthy people who secretly throw corpses into the Jinshui River will also avoid the two of them and go to Wuzhanghe instead.
Occasionally, if one or two people with short eyes are thrown into the river, they will be caught by the old and young, thrown in the river, and play in the water.
The time has come to the end of autumn, and the cold water of the river can freeze people to death.
Soaking in water, less than a quarter of an hour, a person's face will turn pale.
Soak for half an hour, it will freeze to death.
One of the servants of the Han Mansion had rolled his eyes and was lying on the water.
The other was shivering, looking beggingly at the two silhouettes on the riverside and the servant with more than a hundred arms behind them.
He couldn't shout for mercy.
Even if he was frozen to death, he did not dare to shout.
Because he knew in his heart that what he committed was more serious than throwing a body into the river.
He pushed a living person into the water alive, and then jokingly watched people drown on the shore.
On the river.
Xiang Minzhong covered the two thick cloak, staring at the man in the water faintly, and asked Kou Ji beside him, "How long do you think he will die?"
Kou Ji rolled his eyes, lifted the fishing rod in his hand and threw it into the water again, complaining.
"You are the life of Caosuga!"
Xiang Minzhong said nonchalantly: "They were the first to kill people. The old man just used the other way to give back to the body."
Kou Ji helped fiddling with the fishing rod placed in front of Xiang Minzhong's couch, and complained: "It is a big crime to set up a criminal hall privately."
Xiang Minzhong didn't care much anymore. He opened the cloak and asked the servant behind him to change a hand warmer. He held it in his hand, and said indifferently: "The old man has two in seventies this year, and the court's laws can't control it. On the old man's head.
Don't say throwing a few murderers with short eyes in the water, even if you look at someone's girl and pinch two of them, no one dares to do anything to the old man. "
"Old hooligan..."
"Bah..."
Xiang Minzhong took a sip, and said disdainfully: "Food sex, sex. You know what a fart."
Kou Ji said dissatisfied: "I'm already married."
Xiang Minzhong contemptuously said: "What about married? The old man's good granddaughter has been married for a few months, and there is no movement in his stomach."
Kou Ji said awkwardly: "This kind of thing can't be rushed."
Xiang Minzhong glared and scolded: "You are not in a hurry, the old man is anxious."
Seeing the fishing rod shaking, Kou Ji hurriedly lifted the fishing rod, and a small fish on the hook swayed on it.
Koj pulled the line, picked off the fish, and threw it back into the water.
After putting the loach on the hook, he threw it back into the water, and then said to Xiang Minzhong: "I'm not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry?"
Xiang Minzhong hummed: "Of course the old man is anxious. The old man is still waiting to hug his great-grandson. If he can be born when the old man dies, he can still find a birth.
When your grandfather dies, he can go one step further. "
Kou Ji stared and scolded: "Xiang old man, you are too much."
Xiang Minzhong said carelessly: "What's the matter? The old man and the others have worked for the court all their lives for what? It is for the high officials and for the honor of the wives.
If the old man dies, the court will not grant one or two titles to the old man's descendants. Is it worthy of the old man to work for the court for so many years? "
Kou Ji said with a black face: "Put away your crooked theories, they are useless to me."
Xiang Minzhong nodded, sat up, made people wrap his body in the cloak, and said, "It must be useless for you, because you are a club. Only you, the club, will run to the Ministry of Industry when your career is in good order Sit on the cold bench."
Kou Ji said solemnly: "I'm going to the Ministry of Industry, I have my own plan."
"What's the plan?"
Xiang Minzhong said with disdain: "Your plan is to accompany the old man on this golden water river to catch those bastards who have eaten the intestines of dead people?"
Kou Ji glared at Xiang Minzhong and threatened: "If you talk nonsense, I will let the mansion's workshop stop printing your books."
Xiang Minzhong laughed and said, "You are no longer a threat to the old man. The movable type printing technique created by Bi Sheng in your house is scattered all over the capital, and the old man also has a copy in his hand.
If you don't print books for the old man, the old man can build his own workshop in the mansion and print it himself. "
Kou Ji sneered: "Then, do you know that using lead printing instead of clay printing will increase the printing speed?"
Xiang Minzhong stared at Kou Ji in amazement, "You still have a hand?"
Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said, "I am not a selfless person, of course I have to keep my hand."
Xiang Minzhong put down the hand warmer in his hand, rubbed his hands in excitement, and said, "The old man knows that your kid will definitely not take advantage of people for nothing."
Since stepping down from a practical position, Xiang Minzhong seems to be a little darkened, and he is particularly excited about doing bad things.
Kou Ji smiled and said: "My advantage is naturally not so good."
Xiang Minzhong laughed and said, "My dear grandson-in-law, the old man still has a collection of poems written when he was young. Take a look, when did you print it together for the old man?"
Kou Ji did not speak, but rubbed his hands with a smile.
The smile on Xiang Minzhong's face froze, and he said with a black face: "You got promoted because of the old man's resignation. The old man hasn't asked you for a favor, so you can print something for the old man and ask for money? "
Kou Ji laughed in a low voice, "You don't need money... But you have to do me a little favor."
Xiang Minzhong looked at Kou Ji suspiciously, and asked, "What's busy?"
Kou Ji smiled and said, "How about movable type printing for the newspapers sent by the court to various residences?"
Xiang Minzhong stared at Kou Ji and said with a look of stunned expression: "It is not a good job to print the official newspaper of the court. Not only is there nothing wrong with it, but if you make a mistake, you will be convicted."
Kou Ji smiled and said, "But it's important!"
Xiang Minzhong glanced at Kou Ji and said: "Of course the old man knows that it is important. It is precisely because he knows that he is important that the old man reminds you not to get that thing. Over the years, because of the printing of the Dibao, the typo was printed and the head was cut off. There are many officials.
You don't need to worry about being chopped off your head.
But those people under you will be chopped off. "
Kou Ji took it for granted: "The court's newspaper is so important. It's normal that there are mistakes and their heads chopped off? To blame, I can only blame them for not being careful enough.
If the heads of my staff were chopped off for this reason, it would be their own fault. "
Xiang Minzhong curled his lips and said, "Since you are not afraid of trouble, the old man will hand over the memo to the inner court when he turns around."
Kou Ji nodded with a big smile.
"Grandfather-in-law knows me..."
Xiang Minzhong hummed: "Of course, if you slap your ass, the old man only wants you to shit."
Kou Ji disliked and incited with his hands, "vulgar..."
Xiang Minzhong said disdainfully: "So what? The old man has been behaving for most of his life, and finally got to an age where he can be presumptuous. Naturally, he wants to do what he wants to do and what he wants to do."
After saying this, Xiang Minzhong glanced at Kou Ji again and said, "You accompanied the old man on fishing for ten days, just to get the old man to write a letter to help you ask for the printing of the newspaper
Could it be possible that the printing of Di Bao could open up the situation in the Ministry of Industry? "
Without waiting for Kou Ji to speak, Xiang Minzhong shook his head and said: "It's just a printing of Di Bao, and it won't play any role in the Ministry of Industry."
Kou Ji smiled and said: "I didn't think about the use of movable type printing. I just want everyone in the world to know that the things produced by the Ministry of Engineering are the best things in the world."
Xiang Minzhong asked, "What then?"
Kou Ji opened his hand and smiled: "There is no more."
Xiang Minzhong sipped Kou Ji and said cursingly: "Your kid is too unpromising. If you are the old man, you will use the same methods you used to deal with the criminal division to destroy the third division and let the court dismiss the third division.
Then take back those powers of the Ministry of Industry in the Third Division.
Then, with the power robbed from the three divisions, he slowly emptied the young government supervisor.
Then, with the hands of your grandfather, as well as the hands of Li Di and Wang Zeng, kill the group of people who will be prisoners. "
Kou Ji wanted to plug his ears, not wanting to listen to Xiang Minzhong's nonsense.
Sansi, Shaofu Superintendent, and General Superintendent, if it is really so easy to clean up, why didn't Xiang Minzhong clean up when he served as a political affair
Kou Ji had the thoughts of cleaning up the three divisions after finishing the commendation division before.
But since he learned that Li Zi had voted for Zhao Yuanyan, he has never had this idea anymore.
If you want to deal with the three divisions, the biggest help you can use is six.
But now the third division made Li Zi voted for Zhao Yuanyan, and Zhao Yuanyan secretly does not know how many people have been placed in the sixth department.
Will they take action against their allies
Therefore, what Xiang Minzhong said was all nonsense.
After staying with Xiang Minzhong for many days, Kou Ji didn't bother to accompany Xiang Minzhong to catch the bastard after the request in his heart had been completed.
There are many bastards in the golden pool, but none of them can only eat.
After you catch it, you have to throw it back.
Kou Ji didn't care to accompany Xiang Minzhong to continue playing.
Kou Ji instructed the servants behind him: "Go to two people, and twist the guy in the water to Kaifeng Mansion. Then go to the individual, and go to the Han Mansion to inform."
"Tell me a fart!"
Xiang Minzhong cursed dissatisfiedly: "Don't say that Han Mansion has fallen, even if Han Mansion has fallen, if the people in their mansion dare to kill them, the old man can kill them."
Kou Ji said faintly: "The ancestors of the Han Mansion, at any rate, are brothers with Emperor Taizu, so they should give the Emperor Taizu a face."
Xiang Minzhong gave a cold snort and didn't speak any more.
The signboard of Taizu Zhao Kuangyin is still very useful.
After the servant of the Kou Mansion got the guy in the water, Xiang Minzhong hummed: "Go to the man, go to Kaifeng Mansion and stare at the old man. Wait until Dali Temple and the Criminal Department have convicted the death penalty and come back.
If you dare to kill someone in front of the old man, the old man must watch them go to see the king. "
Kou Ji did not stop.
The servants of the Han Mansion are all worthy of death in front of him and Xiang Minzhong.
The reason why he let the servants of the house fish him up was not to pity his life.
But the death of the person who froze to death under water was so miserable that he was afraid that he would have nightmares at night after watching too much.
"Grandfather-in-law, grandson-in-law retire first."
Kou Ji arched his hands and prepared to leave.
Xiang Minzhong said in amazement, "Are you not fishing with the old man?"
Kou Ji said, "I have to go back and urge the servants in the mansion to print your book soon."
Xiang Minzhong was taken aback for a moment, waved his hand and said, "Then you go quickly."
Kou Ji clasped his fists again and left with Kou's servants.
After returning to the house.
Xiang Yan held a volume in front of him.
"Sang Gong, the books of Li Xiang and Wang Xiang have already been printed. Do you want to send it to them?"
Kou Ji waved his hand and said: "No hurry... You send someone to ask to see how they plan to sell their books. If there is no way, we can sell them for them."
Xiang Yan looked at Kou Ji in amazement, "Can we still buy books for them?"
Kou Ji said: "Why not?"
Xiang Yan suddenly said: "Li Xiang and Wang Xiang's books, together, there are a full 200,000 volumes."
"It's only 200,000 copies. It will be sold soon..."
Kou Ji said nonchalantly.
Xiang Yan asked: "How to sell? How much?"
Kou Ji pondered for a moment, and said, "Grandpa Li's book is worth one copy of five quintessence, and Wang Xiang's book is one copy of three quintessence."
Xiang Yan exclaimed: "Are you going to give money to Li Xiang and Wang Xiang?"
Kou Ji glanced at Xiang Yan and said, "What send money?"
Xiang Yan said seriously: "If you don't give money to Li Xiang and Wang Xiang, why do you sell their books so expensive? Who wants to sell this expensive?"
Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said, "What are the identities of the two of them? Involvement in political affairs! There are so many people who want to curry favor with them. The scholars of the entire Song Dynasty, who don't want to hold a book of both of them in hand and guess him Two thoughts.
If you have the opportunity to show your face in front of the two of them, you can use this to chase after them, and then get a familiar face.
Besides, Grandpa Li will be the chief examiner for next spring.
Do you understand the test
Is it expensive to charge them five times for one book and another future? "
Xiang Yan's eyes widened in astonishment. After thinking about it for a long time, he said seriously: "It's not expensive, not only it's not expensive, but it's also cheaper. Li Xiang's book should be sold for ten thousand dollars. Wang Xiang's book, one book It should be sold for Baguan.
Do you want to print some of my grandfather's handwriting
My concubine feels that my grandfather's handwriting can sell 20 copies of a volume. "
Kou Ji waved his hand and said: "Forget it, making money by the name of my grandfather is easy to be said to be making money."
Xiang Yan nodded thoughtfully and asked, "How much do you give to Li Mansion and Wang Mansion?"
"To tell the truth..."
"To be honest, what do we make?"
"They won't take it as it is."
"..."
"My concubine understands."
After receiving the business lessons taught by Kou Ji, Xiang Yan went busy happily.
She felt that the business lessons taught by Kou Ji could be used in many ways.
She needs to try something, and then carry forward the business experience taught by Kou Ji.
