A few days later.
Kou Ji rushed to the camp where the refugees were resettled outside the city and Jiaozipu inside the city.
The workshops built in the camps where the refugees are settled outside the city are being built quickly over time.
The opening of the Jiaozi shop in the city is also being quickly prepared.
…
November 22.
Osamu.
Ling Li's cold wind blew through Bianjing City.
Pedestrians on the streets of Bianjing city, one by one, tightly tightening collars and sleeves, running around the street.
The small merchants and hawkers who set up the stalls put their hands in their sleeves, spitting out the white mist, and yelling loudly.
Occasionally, one or two pedestrians stop by their stalls, and the small merchants and hawkers must enthusiastically entertain the pedestrians to sit down and deliver a bowl of hot soup or a bowl of hot wontons.
The rumbling of horse hooves sounded.
Pedestrians evaded one after another.
A group of cavalry roared past.
Pedestrians stopped and watched. After watching for a long time, they didn't see anything below. One after another, they pointed at the backs of the cavalry and murmured.
They thought there was some excitement to watch, but after watching it for a long time, they didn't wait for the excitement they expected.
So many groups of people gathered in front of the wonton stall or the soup and cake stall, and began to share the secrets of the rich and powerful people they had heard from elsewhere.
The concubine in the rich man’s house stole someone, and after being caught by the rich man, he was beaten to death with a stick.
The official went to escort a prostitute, but was smashed by Yu Shi on the spot and played in court.
There are countless things like that.
There are true and false, and there are false and true.
No one is going to find out the truth or not.
They just like to find something to please them from these lace rumors, and then get together and laugh at others fiercely.
No one noticed that some people with extraordinary skills were walking slowly among them.
In a short while, those with extraordinary skills gradually occupied all the hidden places on the street.
An inconspicuous sedan chair appeared silently on the street.
It was four big men with white faces and no beards carrying the sedan chair.
Waiting on the side of the sedan chair was an elderly man, still blank.
The person carrying the sedan chair walked very slowly, as if measuring the street underneath with his feet, one step at a time, steady, without any bumps.
The old man waiting on the side of the sedan chair arched his waist and thrust his hands into his cuffs. He was thin and weak, as if it could be blown by a gust of wind.
He also walked very slowly, and there was no sound under his feet.
When someone saw this, they laughed loudly and threatened that these people were walking slower than their own old yellow dogs. If there were such servants in his family, he would definitely kill him without hesitation, so as not to shame him after he got out .
Someone followed suit.
Someone took a closer look at the people who carried the sedan chair, and then looked around, and saw the men hiding in the dark with murder weapons, leaving the crowd in amazement.
Resolutely draw a line with those who die.
The eunuch lifted the sedan chair, and the plainclothes guard cleared the way.
Sitting in the sedan chair is not a prince, or a certain lady who has been promoted to a concubine. These characters are not something that ordinary people like them can afford.
As for the officials, they dare not even think about it.
The sedan walked slowly across the street.
Those who were laughing loudly did not stop.
Still sarcasm and gust of wind.
It's just that their smiles are likely to be on their faces forever.
After the sedan chair left, the few laughed loudest people, with a smile on their faces, fell straight on the table.
"Dead... Dead man..."
"Go and tell Kaifeng Mansion..."
"..."
Pedestrians are panicked.
The sedan chair has drifted away.
The guys who were hiding in the dark, guarding the sedan chair in secret, got together in front of a building.
In front of the building.
Kou Ji took Mu Chong, Qian Le, and Meng Weizhong and stood bowed.
The guys, servants, and servants in Jiaozipu stood neatly one by one, standing bowed behind the four of them.
The elderly eunuch lifted the car curtain.
A slightly smiling face appeared from inside.
Kou Ji took the lead in bowing and saluting, but said nothing.
The same goes for Mu Chong, Qian Le, and Meng Weizhong.
Dude, Xiaosi, and others stood silently with their heads down.
Zhao Zhen got off the sedan chair and shook the crumpled plain clothes sitting in the sedan chair. He held a folding fan and knocked it in his palm. He laughed in a low voice, "Brother Kou, don't be too polite..."
Kou Ji's mouth evoked a bitter smile, with a helpless look on his face.
The three of Mu Chong were shocked, but did not move.
The young man behind them didn't know the identity of Zhao Zhen, nor did the guys, but the three of them knew.
Zhao Zhen was actually willing to surrender his status and call Kou Ji his elder brother. How could they not be shocked.
In Chen Linyin's gaze, Kou Ji raised his head and made a please gesture.
Zhao Zhen nodded and stepped into Jiaozipu first.
Chen Lin kept up with Zhao Zhen from the right, and Kou Jiju kept up with Zhao Zhen from the left.
The three of Mu Chong could only follow behind.
As for the guys and the servants, they can only follow up after the men with murder weapons enter the Jiaozipu.
The guys and servants in Jiaozipu knew that they had a big boss, and guessed that the big boss was an extraordinary identity.
After all, there are not many people in Bianjing who can suppress Kou Ji, Mu Chong and others.
They thought it was a certain member of the DPRK who was ranked first.
But he didn't expect it to be a young man younger than them.
The pomp is much bigger than the average person.
They guessed that it might be the grandson of a certain palace.
But he didn't dare to guess Zhao Zhen.
After entering Jiaozipu, Zhao Zhen stopped and didn't understand. The imperial guards in plain clothes took the lead and guarded the main roads in the building.
Then Kou Ji led Zhao Zhen to the third floor.
There is no private room or partition on the third floor, and it is open.
It was originally the place where Mu Chong and others convened the other two Jiaozi shop stewards and shopkeepers to discuss matters.
Now that Zhao Zhen has arrived, he naturally wants to let him use it alone.
After all, he can't live under people, let alone be stepped on, so he can only step on everyone under his feet condescendingly.
In front of the window facing the street, there was a table with precious treasures and drinks on the table. There was only one chair, which was placed by the window, and there was nothing else.
Chen Lin first ordered the imperial guards to close the other windows, leaving only one of the windows with the chairs unclosed.
They also sent people out to occupy all the positions where they could attack the windows from the outside.
This is asking Zhao Zhen to sit down.
After sitting down, Zhao Zhen said in a daze, "Why don't you put up more chairs and sit together?"
Kou Ji smiled indifferently and did not speak.
The three of Mu Chong held back the others, knelt down on the ground, and bowed three hundred and nine.
"Cao Min knocked on the official..."
"..."
When they met Zhao Zhen for the first time, they naturally had to bow down.
When I was outside just now, it was to help Zhao Zhen conceal his identity.
Now that you are in the building, you can't pretend you don't know.
Zhao Zhen waved his hand and smiled: "You don't need to be polite, go get some more chairs and sit with me."
Mu Chong stood up and looked at each other.
Mu Chong bowed and said: "The Caomin dare not, the Caomin three don't have that blessing."
Zhao Zhen looked at Kou Ji, with some questions in his eyes.
Kou Ji smiled and said: "The three of them still have to do."
Zhao Zhen nodded thoughtfully, "Then you go down and do things first."
The three of Mu Chong bowed to the third floor as if they were amnesty.
They are different from Kou Ji.
Kou Ji can talk and laugh in front of Zhao Zhen, but they can't.
To them, Zhao Zhen is the sky and the real dragon.
A word can determine their life and death.
They naturally dare not get too close.
After the three of Mu Chong left.
Zhao Zhen ordered people to go down and help Kou Ji get a chair, which was placed opposite him.
The fine wines and a table of rare treasures prepared by the Mu Chong trio were removed by Chen Lin.
The delicacies brought out from the palace were placed.
Even so, Chen Lin had to taste it herself first.
Seemingly aware of something, he set up a small red clay stove, heated the dishes again, and then tasted it again.
Seeing this, Kou Ji rolled his eyes and complained: "You're going to eat it all up..."
Chen Lin said nonchalantly: "The safety of the official family matters..."
After Chen Lin had tasted them one by one, Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen were allowed to enjoy them.
Kou Ji looked at the mess that was turned over by Chen Lin and put it together again, and suddenly lost his appetite.
Zhao Zhen didn't move his chopsticks either.
The two were just holding wine glasses and tasting.
Zhao Zhen asked Kou Ji, "When will it open?"
Kou Ji replied: "Everything is ready. When you arrive, it will open."
Zhao Zhen grinned and said, "I have grown up so old and have never seen ten million dollars of money, how much is it."
Kou Ji smiled indifferently: "I rented a batch of warehouses from the closed warehouse, and most of the money will be stored in it. When you want to see it, you can go to see it."
Zhao Zhen smiled and nodded. After a while, he questioned: "Can I use the money in it?"
Zhao Zhen's words had no other meaning, he was merely asking.
But Kou Ji did not rush to answer.
To Zhao Zhen now, this is a casual sentence.
Can it be after
In the future, if the court is in trouble and the treasury can't get the money, with Zhao Zhen's kindness, he will definitely take the money from Jiaozipu and use it.
The money used by the court is not a small sum.
If you draw too much and Jiaozipu can't operate normally, the fun will be great.
Kou Ji pondered for one or two, and said: "If the official wants to use the profit of Jiaozipu, he can draw it at will. It's just that the deposit in it, if the official wants to use it, he has to borrow."
Zhao Zhen looked at Kou Ji in a daze, and asked, "I, the big owner of Jiaozipu, can't take the money in Jiaozipu at will?"
Kou Ji did not answer Zhao Zhen's question, but looked at Chen Lin.
"Duke Chen, please tell the officials about the troubles that Jiaozipu encountered before."
By now, Zhao Zhen has become the biggest owner of Jiaozipu, and Chen Lin didn’t need to hide anything from Zhao Zhen. She immediately told Zhao Zhen about the fact that Jiaozipu had made a run indiscriminately and caused a run. .
After Zhao Zhen listened to it, he thoughtfully said: "It turns out that if Jiaozi is messed up, it will be so terrible?"
Kou Ji nodded and said, "This is why the minister must make the official family the master of Jiaozipu. Only when things like Jiaozi are in the hands of the official can it not cause confusion.
If it is in the hands of other people, it will only be used by those with ulterior motives to shake the Jiangshan Sheji of the Song Dynasty. "
When Zhao Zhen heard this, he nodded and smiled: "You are still the best to me... If this is replaced by someone else, I will only make a profit underneath by making a child, and I will never think of me."
Kou Ji smiled and nodded, but glanced at Chen Lin with a rumorless look.
Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "I want to see how Jiaozi works."
Kou Ji was stunned, and said, "The minister will take you there?"
Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said: "No need... the people in Jiaozipu are very familiar with you. If you follow me behind me, I won't see what I want to see."
Kou Ji thought about it, summoned Lu Ming, and took Zhao Zhen to visit Jiaozipu.
As soon as Zhao Zhen left, Kou Ji caught Chen Lin and said unexpectedly: "What's the matter with the official?"
Chen Lin said indifferently: "Naturally, I have grown up... not as good as before to cheat... So when you cheat officials in the future, it is better to think twice, don't lose your head because of this..."
Kou Ji glared and said, "Why did I deceive the officials?"
Chen Lin snorted coldly: "How often do you deceive officials?"
Kou Ji glared at Chen Lin, too lazy to continue with him on this issue.
He muttered to himself: "When I went to see the officials a few days ago, I felt something was wrong. After you said that, I just remembered that the officials have really matured a lot recently."
Chen Lin said indifferently: "It is inevitable that there are three teachers, Taishi, Li Di, and Wang Zeng, that the officials will grow up."
Kou Ji pondered: "How big is the official family..."
Chen Lin hummed: "Yan Shu passed the township examination when he was as old as an official, and was awarded a Jinshi at the age of fourteen. Yan Shu is a courtier and can mature prematurely, let alone an official."
Kou Ji stunned: "Early wisdom has nothing to do with status, right?"
Chen Lin took a sip, and said with disdain: "The official family is the emperor of the true dragon, who has the blessing of God, what do you know..."
Kou Ji rolled his eyes and was too lazy to continue talking to Chen Lin.
He felt that Zhao Zhen's growth had nothing to do with things like early wisdom.
Kou Ji guessed that 80% of it was because Zhao Heng died early, Liu E, Li Taifei and others are now in their dorms and Zhao Zhen has no one to rely on, so they can only force themselves to mature quickly.
Kou Ji secretly guessed the reason why Zhao Zhen became mature, and was unwilling to talk to Chen Lin.
Chen Lin approached him and hummed: "Our family has sent someone to Guangnan..."
Kou Ji looked at Chen Lin and said in amazement: "So fast?"
Chen Lin said with a stern face: "You said Guangnan is full of treasures, so naturally our family has to send someone to investigate it. If what you say is true, our family can also use Guangnan's wealth to enrich its internal treasury.
The official family will have a big wedding next year, but there is not much money left in the inner treasury.
Our family doesn't want to see the official weddings being too shabby. "
Kou Ji nodded, "That's also..."
Chen Lin looked at Kou Ji and said, "If our family cannot find gems, gold and silver in Guangnan, you will have to pay for the official wedding."
Kou Ji squinted at Chen Lin.
