The Minister of Engineering stared at Kou Ji in amazement.
It was like hearing something unbelievable.
Kou Ji ignored his eyes and continued: "After falling to the ground, you immediately sent someone to let out the wind, saying that Sansi refused to hand over the power assigned to the Ministry of Industry by the inner court, and even started beating people.
Then let someone carry you, go to the hanging arch hall, and seek an explanation from the inner court.
Or someone will carry you to Li Mansion and ask Li Zi for an explanation.
Not only have to regain the power of Tuntian, but also have to check Sansi Tuntian's accounts and field records.
Finally, I have to ask Li Zi to ask for thousands of soups and medicines.
If you lack the same, your illness will not get better, so you have to stay at the door of Li Mansion and not leave. "
The Minister of Engineering stared at Kou Ji in a daze. After a long time, he lost his voice: "You... Didn't you let the subordinates go to play tricks?"
Kou Ji glanced sideways at him, "What's the matter with Splashing Pi? Sansi played splashing skin for you first, why can't you splash Pipi for them?"
"But the reputation of the official..."
"As long as you help the Ministry of Industry to discuss power, all officials in the Ministry of Industry in the future will only sing praises to you and will not destroy your reputation. Not only will your reputation not be bad, but it will be improved.
It's impossible to say that in the future, someone will extol your shameful behavior and preach you as a wise and treacherous minister. "
"..."
The assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry was dumbfounded by Kou Ji.
But he was not stupid. He didn't believe Kou Ji's words credulously. Instead, he said with a look of embarrassment: "Shangguan, should you go back to Sansi and ask for power? Your face is much better than that of the next official."
Kou Ji glared and scolded: "You, the minister of the Ministry of Engineering, even if you ask for a little bit of power, you have to let me, the superior officer, take action. What does the Ministry of Engineering want you, the servant?"
"But..."
"This is an order from this officer!"
"..."
The Minister of Engineering lowered his head and gave a frustrated reply.
He still wanted to be in the court, so he couldn't violate the order of the Shangguan Kou Ji.
After he left Koj's tent, he stood outside the tent and pondered for a long time.
Finally made a decision.
He decided that if he was damaging his reputation after playing tricks, he would push the matter to Kou Ji.
If it is true as Kou Ji said, it is eulogized as a good story, then he will laugh decisively.
With the decision, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry hurried back to Bianjing and did as Kou Ji ordered.
As he expected, when he went to the Sansi to discuss the power to farm land, the Sansi had no intention of surrendering the power at all, and all sorts of excuses.
Then, he was angered by the people of Sansi.
Immediately after he fell, someone went out to spread rumors that Sansi refused to hand over the power of Tuntian allocated by the inner court to the Ministry of Industry.
In an instant, there was a lot of discussion in Bianjing.
The three Kou Zhun were furious and called Li Zi into the palace for questioning.
After Li Zi entered the palace, he was scolded by the three of Kou Zhun.
After Li Zi returned to the third division, he scolded the officials in the third division who had provoked the minister of the Ministry of Industry.
Then, people threw some of the documents, account books, and field records from the Tuntian to the Ministry of Industry.
However, the main power of Tuntian was not handed over.
After the officials of the Ministry of Industry gathered the documents, account books, and field records, they began to check according to Kou Ji's instructions.
Then the assistant of the Ministry of Engineering asked him to carry him, and blocked the gate of Li Mansion at the door of Li Mansion.
Seeing this, the people crowded onlookers.
The entrance of Li Mansion became full of voices in an instant.
When Li Zi returned to the mansion, he saw the minister of the Ministry of Industry lying at the door of his mansion, and he almost died of anger.
Li Zi pointed at the assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry and accused him of playing tricks.
The Minister of Engineering didn't pay attention to him, lying at the door of Li's mansion, and said nothing to leave.
Eventually, it ran into the inner court again.
Kou Zhun personally came forward and went to Sansi, urging Sansi to hand over the power of farming to the Ministry of Industry.
however.
The assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry did not give up after he obtained the power of Tuntian.
He still lay at the door of Li Mansion and refused to leave, and confidently told Li Zi, "Who knows if your three divisions have corrupted the law in the Tuntian affairs? In case your three divisions have corrupted the law, then our Ministry of Industry took it. Doesn’t the power of farming land to give you three secretaries?"
Li Zi was so angry that he almost didn't ask someone to kill the minister of engineering.
Li Zi was smashed by the mischief of the minister of the Ministry of Industry.
Kou Ji did not pay much attention to this matter.
He had already settled and paid attention. As long as the Minister of Engineering can handle this errand, he will leave the Minister of Engineering to stay in the Ministry of Engineering.
If the Minister of Engineering can't handle this errand, then he will let the Minister of Engineering get out.
He is more concerned about the resettlement of the refugees than asking the minister of the Ministry of Industry to claim power.
After the largest number of refugees arrived, some of them still arrived in Bianjing intermittently.
In three days, Kou Ji gathered more than 20,000 refugees.
The number of refugees in the refugee resettlement has exceeded 130,000.
There is a big gap between the number of refugees placed by Kou Ji and the number of refugees detected by the court.
The difference is as much as four to fifty thousand.
No one told Kou Ji where these 40,000 to 50,000 refugees had gone.
Kou Ji did not ask either.
He just learned some news from the scout sent by Liu Heng.
On the way to Bianjing, some refugees sold their children for some food to traffickers and old bustards who rushed up with the smell of blood.
Some refugees fell on their way to Bianjing City.
Some refugees were beaten to death when they made chaos on the road or robbed others for food.
On the last day of the three days, Li Di sent a large batch of grain to Kou Ji, and told Kou Ji that before the road was closed by heavy snow, there would be more grain to deliver, which would surely deliver enough food to the refugees for the winter. food.
Since that day, there have been very few refugees sent by Li Di to resettle them.
Basically there are no more than a thousand people.
Someone told Kou Ji that there were still quite a few refugees at the South City Gate.
But Li Di did not send all the people over.
Kou Ji wondered why Li Di did this, but he didn't ask.
A person cannot survive a few days without food.
If he is still alive after more than ten days, then there is a big problem.
He may have eaten something that shouldn't be eaten.
The imperial court could not tolerate this kind of people, and Kou Ji’s shelter for refugees could not accommodate such people.
Under Kou Ji's arrangement, the refugees finally built a house enough for them to live in.
Seeing that all the refugees have houses to live in, Kou Ji stood in front of the tent, feeling full of accomplishment in his heart.
The countless sense of accomplishment of living people, as expected, is more enjoyable than any achievement.
Just when Kou Ji was standing in front of the rows of houses and proud of himself, the old man, with his hands on his back, bent over, and walked slowly in front of Kou Ji.
"Gongong, we will go back in a few days."
The old man smiled and said to Kou Ji.
Kou Ji was stunned, and questioned: "Why are you eager to go back, there is no shortage of the bite of food you eat?"
The old man smiled shyly: "The little old man has already got the food paid by the court. There is no danger here. The little old man will be meaningless if he stays in Bianjing.
The young man has to quickly send the money back and distribute it to the children who are still looking forward to it in Baozhou. "
Kou Ji stared at him for a while, and said: "The official family knows your righteous deeds, and they intend to give you this leader to appoint officials, don't you plan to?"
The old man thought for a moment and shook his head, "The little old man is old and doesn't know a few words. When he becomes an official, he can't do anything. Since he can't do anything, why should he take the court's salary for nothing
Instead of spending time in Bianjing, it is better to go back to Baozhou and teach the children to teach them a few more deaths after they go to the battlefield. "
After saying this, the old man stared at Kou Ji and continued: "The little old man has to go back and stare at the children, to prevent them from getting overwhelmed when they have money and food, and they have to tell them all the time, let them remember, Who gave them their good days.
Don't forget your kindness..."
Hearing the old man's words, Kou Ji suddenly felt that it was not natural for the soldiers and civilians of Baozhou to value love and justice.
It is these old men who know gratitude in their hearts who remind them from time to time and teach by precepts and deeds from time to time.
Kou Jichang sighed and said, "Since you have decided to return to Baozhou, I will not stop you."
In fact, Kou Ji wanted to leave the old man in Bianjing and help him beg for a fortune.
But the old man obviously didn't have the desire to enjoy wealth. He seemed to only want to stay in Baozhou, guarding the soldiers and civilians of Baozhou.
Seeing that Kou Ji had agreed, the old man let out a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Kou Jiqiang would leave him.
Although Bianjing is rich and prosperous, not everyone is willing to stay in it.
At least the old man is reluctant to stay in Bianjing.
"There is one thing, I want to discuss with you..."
The old man rubbed his hands uneasily, as if what he was about to say was a bit hard to say.
Kou Ji happily said: "Just say, as long as I can do it, I will try to do it for you."
The old man rubbed his hands and said awkwardly: "In fact, it's not a big deal... The young man just thought, when the old man can't walk in the future, can he ask a janitor in the sanctuary of you and the official? Identity."
Kou Ji looked at the old man in amazement.
The old man thought that Kou Ji was a little unhappy, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "The little old man is not for himself. The little old man just wants to stay in the shrine. Always remind the children, remember to worship, and don’t let the shrine break the incense. ."
Kou Ji couldn't laugh or cry: "I didn't mean to blame you. Since you have spoken, then everything in the shrine will be left to you."
When the old man heard the words, his face showed a bright smile.
"The little old man won't bother my benefactor."
The old man bowed his hand to Kou Ji and walked away.
Kou Ji stared at the old man's back and said faintly: "When you die later, you will have to enjoy a piece of incense in the Shrine of Life."
Kou Ji didn't really care about the issue of incense.
He just felt that if the soldiers and civilians of Baozhou kept worshipping and burning incense from time to time, after the death of him and Zhao Zhen, the ancestral shrine might be upgraded to a temple.
He and Zhao Zhen will also be named gods for this, and then they will be passed on from generation to generation.
People like the old man should also be passed down from generation to generation.
The old man walked a few steps, as if thinking of something, he turned around and asked Kou Ji, "Gongong, what are the houses you built next to Ruisheng Garden for
When our people went to patrol in the morning, they heard some movement.
If it wasn't for the servants to stop us, our people would go in and find out. "
Kou Ji was taken aback when he heard the words, and suddenly stomped: "I was so busy worrying about the rations of the refugees that I forgot these guys."
"Hurry up and find someone, and give orders to the servants who are there to let them release the people inside."
The old man said suspiciously: "There are people in it?"
"Some people who made trouble when I settled the refugees."
Kou Ji explained.
The old man hummed and said nothing.
He naturally didn't like anyone who caused Kou Ji's troubles.
The old man casually invited a guard patrol man who passed by him and asked him to help Kou Ji pass the order.
The man mounted his horse and rushed to the edge of Ruisheng Garden.
Then staring at the servants on the side of Ruishengyuan, he opened the door of the house.
Immediately afterwards, I saw people with staring eyes and bloodshot eyes, and they walked out with a twitch.
These people seem to have been tortured so much that they don't have any figures in their eyes.
Like a bunch of lunatics, and like a bunch of walking corpses.
Rao was the man who was used to seeing dead people, and when he saw these people, his heart twitched.
After all, killing is nothing but a nod, nothing terrible.
The terrible thing is the method of torture.
There are some ways to torture people, which can be said to be brutal and inhumane.
The man took a deep look at these people, and then rode his horse back to reply to Kou Ji.
When I saw Kou Ji again, he was very silent.
When Kou Ji saw him, he hurriedly asked, "Is it released?"
The man nodded silently.
Kou Ji continued to ask, "Are there dead people?"
The man shook his head.
Kou Ji breathed a sigh of relief, if it was because of his negligence that the person was shut down to death, then he might feel a little guilty.
After all, those people are not guilty of death.
"What's their condition?"
Kou Ji continued to inquire.
The corner of the man's mouth was pulled out, but there was no answer.
Kou Ji immediately realized that the man was afraid that he had seen something bad.
He didn't chase the roots, but hurried to those people.
After Kou Ji left, the man approached the old man and whispered: "Chen Matou, I just saw..."
The old man raised his hand, interrupted the man's words, carried his hands on his back, and said lightly: "Don't say much... It's excusable to use some extraordinary methods to manage the refugees by graciousness.
After all, if those refugees get involved, they will hurt many lives.
The benefactor is also for the sake of more people's lives. "
The man hesitated to speak, but finally nodded obediently.
The old man again ordered: "Don't tell anyone what you see."
The man was a little startled.
The old man made no extra explanation.
The reason why he did not allow the man to spread such things outside was that he did not want to destroy Kou Ji's perfect image in the hearts of Baozhou soldiers and civilians.
In doing so, he is not simply defending Kou Ji.
But because of this, I don't want to disperse the cohesive heart that the soldiers and civilians of Baozhou have just given birth to.
