Li Zi rushed over when the Ruishengzhuang wrought iron workshop opened, and 80% of it was for the problem of iron materials in the wrought iron workshop.
Yantie has always been an official camp.
The three divisions under Li Zi's management are salt and iron.
The wrought iron workshop on Ruishengzhuang avoided Sansi and made large-scale steelmaking, and Li Zi would inevitably come to intervene.
Kou Ji had already expected it.
When Mu Chong and Qian Le saw Li Zi, their faces were not pretty.
Mu Chong held his belly, and said bitterly to Kou Ji beside him: "Li Sansi is afraid that he is here for the wrought iron workshop..."
Qian Le wore a fat face, glanced at Kou Ji, and said in a low voice: "If there is interference from the three divisions, our wrought iron workshop wants to open the furnace, I am afraid it will not be easy."
"That's not necessarily..."
Old God Meng Weizhong said something.
There was no rush to fear because of Li Zi's appearance.
Mu Chong opened his eyes slightly and looked at Meng Weizhong, "Brother Meng...You are really big-hearted..."
Qian Le nodded in agreement.
Meng Weizhong said indifferently: "We are not the big proprietor of the wrought iron workshop. What are we afraid of? If Li Sansi is really capable of pulling down the big proprietor of our wrought iron workshop, I admit it. The money invested in the wrought iron workshop before, I can take no points."
Mu Chong and Qian Le were taken aback, their eyes lit up slightly.
Qian Le put a smile on his face instantly, and said cheerfully: "Brother Meng is right. We still have a big boss..."
With the big boss behind him, Mu Chong and Qian Le were not afraid of Li Zi for an instant.
Chen Jing and others understood only a little bit of the meaning of the three of Mu Chong's words, knowing that there is a big boss behind Ruishengzhuang.
As for who the big boss is, they couldn't tell.
They looked at Kou Ji, trying to find an answer from Kou Ji, but saw that Kou Ji didn't mean anything, but stood there quietly waiting for Li Zi.
After Li Zi and his party arrived, they walked to Kou Ji.
Li Zi stared at Kou Ji coldly, "I heard that the people on Zhuangzi are forging iron?"
Kou Ji stared at Li Zi indifferently: "What is it that the people in Zhuangzi are forging iron? You can eat more rice, but you can't talk nonsense. Zhuangzi is a royal Zhuangzi, and it has nothing to do with us.
What the people of Zhuangzi do is also a matter of the royal family. "
The shelter for the refugees was allocated from the imperial house.
At present, the inner court has not decided to allocate this area to the people, so the deed has not been signed.
The land currently occupied by Ruishengzhuang is still royal land.
Even if Ruishengzhuang wants to become a villa, it is also an imperial villa, not a private place.
Li Zi wanted to give Kou Ji a disarm, but he didn't expect that Kou Ji would come back. He was annoyed and bitterly said: "Even if Zhuangzi is a royal Zhuangzi, the people inside are not royal people."
As if he heard some joke, Kou Ji looked at Li Zi with a stunned expression, and said: "Everyone knows that there is no king in the world, and no one is the king of the land.
Zhuangzi is a royal family, and the people living in Zhuangzi are also royal people. They regard the official family as a father, how can they not be regarded as royals? "
Li Zi was speechless for a while, and couldn't think of anything to excuse Kou Ji, so he opened his eyes and said, "This official doesn't want to take advantage of you, so the official asks you, are the people in it forging iron?"
Kou Ji nodded and said: "Yes..."
Seeing Kou Ji's admission, Li Zi sneered and said, "Yes, that's right... The official is the third envoy, who is in charge of salt and iron in the court. This official has never approved the official document that allowed the people on this village to forge iron.
The people on this Zhuangzi now wrought iron and violated the court's laws.
The officer will now wait for a group of people and arrest them all. "
After saying this, Li Zi's gaze fell on the three of Mu Chong again, and he coldly snorted: "The profiteer who provided iron for the iron culprits in Zhuangzi is also among the arrests."
The three of Mu Chong were not afraid of Li Zi's threat. They glanced at each other and looked at Li Zi plainly.
Seeing this, Li Zi cursed inwardly.
act recklessly.
Kou Ji stared at Li Zi and smiled calmly: "Li Sansi is telling me a joke?"
Li Zi stared and shouted: "The official abides by the court's law. Privately owned salt and iron is illegal. If it breaks the law, the official will have to arrest. Do you think the court's law is also a joke?"
Kou Ji didn't care at all about Li Zi's stern scolding, but rather curiously said, "Sansi has the power to arrest people?"
Without waiting for Li Zi to speak, Kou Ji said to himself: "Even if the third division finds that someone has violated the law, it will be reported to the inner court. After the inner court decides, it will be handed over to the Criminal Department to arrest the person
Even if you don't have to go through the inner court, you have to send someone to report to the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs will arrest people? "
When Li Zi heard this, his face rose to the color of pig liver.
Of course he knew that the Third Division had no right to arrest people, but if the matter was handed over to the Criminal Ministry, it would still be a question of whether the Criminal Ministry would arrest people.
Li Zi stared at Kou Ji, gritted his teeth and said: "Everyone knows that you have a good relationship with Shangshu Wang of the Criminal Department. If he is to protect you, how can this official punish you and other private crimes?"
Kou Jile said, funny: "If the prince is partial in his dealings, just go and impeach him? As for whether he will favor favoritism, it is still something that hasn't happened, what hasn't happened, is it useful to say it?"
Li Zi felt angry, but he was not easy to attack. He gritted his teeth and said: "Okay... the criminals can wait until they are reported to the inner court, and the inner court will order the criminal department to arrest the person.
However, as the chief official of the three divisions, the official has the right to seal up private salt and iron workshops in the world.
Now, the official wants to seal the wrought iron workshop on Zhuangzi.
Is this always okay? "
Without waiting for Kou Ji to speak, Li Zi coldly said to the people behind him, "Seize the wrought iron workshop!"
The officials and small officials of the three divisions that Li Zi brought with him immediately rushed into Ruishengzhuang to seal up the wrought iron workshop.
Chen Jing, Wang Tiansheng and other old men stood in front of them.
The officials and small officials of the Third Division did not dare to rush.
Wang Yunsheng's encounter with porcelain in Sansi has only recently passed, and now they see older people blocking the way, and it is inevitable that they will be a little bit rattled.
Turning their heads one by one, they looked at Li Zi with embarrassment.
An anger flashed in Li Zi's eyes, and he immediately ordered the officials and small officials to rush.
But Kou Ji's faint voice sounded.
"Li Sansi, before you send someone to seal up the wrought iron workshop on Zhuangzi, I have a question for you."
Li Zigang was about to open his mouth and instruct the officials and staff of the third division. Hearing what Kou Ji had said, he turned his head and stared at Kou Ji coldly and said, "What's the problem? Could it be that you want to prevent my third division from seizing the wrought iron workshop on Zhuangzi? "
Kou Ji shook his head and said calmly: "I just want to ask Li Sansi, before sealing the wrought iron workshop on Zhuangzi, did he take responsibility for obstructing the government affairs of the Ministry of Industry and privately inspecting the Tianjia industry?"
Li Zi's heart jumped, his eyes moved away from Kou Ji, and he glanced at the blast furnace in Ruishengzhuang.
Could it be that the wrought iron workshop on Ruishengzhuang also has officials
If there are officials, things will be a little difficult to handle.
Since the official family resisted the impeachment of hundreds of officials and established their identity as the big boss of Jiaozipu, the unwritten rule of the Heavenly Family not competing with the people for profit has been broken.
With officials guarding him, Li Zi really couldn't touch Ruishengzhuang's wrought iron workshop.
Li Zi glared at Kou Ji, gritted his teeth and asked, "There are officials in the wrought iron workshop on Zhuangzi?"
Kou Ji nodded slowly.
Li Zi glared at Kou Ji fiercely, "Since there are officials in the wrought iron workshop on Zhuangzi, my third division can pretend not to see the wrought iron on Zhuangzi.
But don't be too proud.
The officer has a way to make this wrought iron workshop impossible for you. "
"let's go!"
Li Zi spoke to the officials and small officials of the three divisions.
The officials of the Third Division and the small officials heard the words and hurriedly followed Li Zi and left here.
Li Zi came quickly, and went quickly.
He's acting like an anticlimactic, and he doesn't seem to be an important minister in the court.
Chen Jing, Mu Chong and others laughed secretly in their hearts, thinking that Li Zi, the third envoy, might not be able to do long.
Only Kou Ji stared at Li Zi's leaving back, thoughtfully.
Li Zi's behavior today looks like finding fault.
But Kou Ji felt that Li Zi didn't come to find fault, more like a threat and reminder.
In Li Zi's capacity, there is no need for him to do this kind of thing himself. He can send the third deputy envoy or the officials under him.
There is no need to go into battle shirtless, begging to be boring, and losing face.
Therefore, his personal appearance this time must have other purposes.
If Kou Ji's guess is correct, it must be related to Zhao Yuanyan.
Only Zhao Yuanyan was able to let this important minister in the central government abandon his face and personally come to threaten and remind Kou Ji.
Kou Ji can probably guess what Zhao Yuanyan's purpose is to threaten him.
It's nothing more than a template for making money.
"If the transaction fails, do you change the threat?"
Kou Ji stared at the place where Li Zi and his party disappeared and whispered.
Mu Chong heard Kou Ji's whisper on his ears, leaning forward, and questioning: "What threat?"
Kou Ji glanced at him, and said in a bad mood: "The affairs of Chaozhong have nothing to do with you, so please don't inquire."
Mu Chong smiled dryly and didn't ask more.
"Go! Go to the wrought iron workshop."
Kou Ji ordered, Chen Jing and others took Kou Ji and his party to the wrought iron workshop in Zhuangzi.
The wrought iron workshop is far away from where the people live, as well as the textile workshop.
Half of the textiles are placed next to the south bank of the Wuzhang River.
The wrought iron workshop is on the north bank of the Wuzhang River.
There is a bridge over the river, built by the imperial court a long time ago.
After crossing the bridge, two tall blast furnaces appeared in front of Kou Ji.
The craftsmen of Kou Mansion and the people are busy.
After seeing Kou Ji appear, they stopped to salute.
Kou Ji encouraged them to keep working.
When he reached the blast furnace, Bi Sheng brought a group of Ministry of Industry officials to welcome Kou Ji.
"Shangguan!"
Bi Sheng et al. Qi Qili.
Kou Ji looked at the blast furnace and asked, "What happened?"
Bi Sheng respectfully said: "Just wait for the superior's order, the subordinates and others can bring the craftsmen to open the furnace to make new iron."
Kou Ji nodded, "Then let the craftsmen start."
Bi Sheng ordered a small official to pass the order, and he took Kou Ji to sit down in a shed not far from the blast furnace.
After sitting down.
The craftsmen led the people and began to forge iron.
Trucks of coke and trucks of iron embryos were transported to the blast furnace.
The fire ignited in an instant.
Trucks of coke and iron embryos began to enter the furnace.
Kou Ji and others just watched quietly.
Bi Sheng, Mu Chong and others have never seen the blast furnace wrought iron, so they craned their necks and stared at each other for fear of missing a detail.
Kou Ji didn't have much interest in this.
After seeing the craftsmen open the furnace smoothly, he began to talk to Bi Sheng.
"Are you used to staying in the Ministry of Engineering?"
At Kou Ji's call, Bi Sheng withdrew his eyes from the blast furnace, and smiled at Kou Ji: "I'm not used to it... The trivialities of the Ministry of Engineering are a bit complicated, and I don't have time to study crafts."
Kou Ji laughed in a low voice: "There will be some..."
Bi Sheng nodded, without saying more, his eyes fell on the blast furnace again.
The process of blast furnace steelmaking lasted several hours.
Kou Ji and others waited quietly for several hours.
Until the molten steel flowed out, the officials, craftsmen, and people in the wrought iron workshop burst into shouts of joy.
A smile appeared on Kou Ji's face.
No one knows what the appearance of molten steel means better than him.
Steel, the product of a trans-epoch.
The Great Song Dynasty is destined to undergo tremendous changes due to the emergence of steel.
By the way, there were not many people who paid attention to it in the civil and military of the Manchu dynasty.
Few people care about its value.
It seems that it is ordinary iron.
The only one who values it and cares about it is Kou Ji.
In the future, everything related to it is destined to be controlled by Kou Ji.
Kou Ji waited until the cast steel ingots cooled and checked the quality of the steel ingots before leaving the wrought iron workshop satisfactorily.
Before leaving, he gathered all the craftsmen who knew how to make steel and those who knew how to build blast furnaces together, and signed an unknown contract with them.
A contract related to the life of the family.
Whenever they reveal their steelmaking skills or help others build a steelmaking blast furnace, they will bear the price they cannot afford.
In this regard, the craftsmen are not disgusted.
Their steelmaking skills were taught by Kou Ji.
As the pioneer of this craft, Kou Ji is qualified to ask them not to spread this craft.
This is a rule handed down in the craftsmanship industry since ancient times.
Kou Ji's willingness to pass on his handicraft to them, letting them borrow the handicraft and eat a bite of food is a kind of generous gift, so Kou Ji's handicraft inheritance, how to restrain them, they will agree.
When Kou Ji returned to the mansion, Mingyue had already climbed onto the branch, but they did not rest.
Instead, he changed into the court clothes, put on the imperial waist card that was not recovered in the palace, and hurriedly rushed into the palace.
After arriving at the palace, after passing the notification, all the way to Shishitang.
After seeing Kou Zhun who was staying up late to review the memorial, he hurriedly said: "Grandfather, I want to send the Tiger Army to Beijing!"
Kou Zhun dropped the vermilion pen in his hand, straightened his face, glared at Kou Ji, and yelled: "What about the rules?"
Kou Ji was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "I have seen my grandfather."
Kou Zhun's expression eased a bit and waved to Kou Ji.
Kou Ji walked to Kou Zhun.
