Kou Ji also knows why Chen Lin chose to pit money from him instead of from others.
Although the two often quarrel and argue, there is more or less friendship between the two.
Based on these friendships, Chen Lin took some money from Kou Ji, and it was nothing.
Chen Lin will certainly not take Kou Ji's money for nothing, and if she encounters an opportunity in the future, she will definitely find a way to repay Kou Ji's favor.
In addition, Chen Lin is willing to take money from Kou Ji, and it is expected that Kou Ji will not make terms with him.
An official eunuch like him, once he has financial dealings with others, he is easily caught by others as a handle, threatening him, and letting him reveal some of Zhao Zhen's whereabouts, time of day, secrets, etc.
Chen Lin is loyal to Zhao Zhen and naturally will not reveal Zhao Zhen's secrets.
Naturally, he would not take money from those who would make conditions with him.
After Chen Lin left.
Kou Ji picked out a piece of jade bib, two seals, a scroll of ancient paintings, and two isolated Buddhist scriptures from the pile of gifts placed in the atrium, and put them away.
"The rest, seal it up, and send it to Grandpa Chen."
Kou Ji gave an order to the servants who were guarding the gift, and then gave a few words to the steward of the house.
Knowing that Chen Lin is short of money, Kou Ji will not be stingy.
Chen Lin is not an ordinary person. What he needs to do with money is naturally a big deal.
The ability to force him to be greedy for money in spite of his face shows that his plan is not small.
Since Kou Ji has this ability to help, he naturally wants to help.
Anyway, he is not short of money now. He doesn't like ordinary gold and silver goods. Keeping this money is just adding one more number to the account book of the house's account, and there is no essential change.
The servants heard Kou Ji's order and hurried forward, and began to seal the boxes containing the presents.
A moment later.
Under the guidance of the housekeeper, the servants carried the box and followed Chen Lin's footsteps and went out.
As soon as Chen Lin left Maxing Street, she saw the servants of Kou Mansion chasing after her.
After seeing the box carried by the servants of the Kou Mansion, he was slightly taken aback.
Chen Lin stared at the steward of Kou Mansion, and asked: "What does this mean? Kou Ji wants to bribe the old man?"
The steward of the Kou Mansion bowed and said with a smile: "My young master didn't mean that. My young master said, you may need money, so let the little people send you the money.
My young master also said that if the money is not enough, he can still find a way to help you get some. "
Chen Lin watched the large sum of money delivered to her, and didn't move. Instead, she stared at the steward of Kou Mansion, and said in a deep voice, "What does Kou Ji want the old man to do for him?"
The manager of the Kou Mansion shook his head and said: "My young master has no plot. My young master said, you are a person with an identity. You can't lose your identity because of money problems, and you don't want to see you being pinched for money."
Chen Lin raised her head, took a deep look in the direction of Kou Mansion, and said in a deep voice: "Go back and tell your young master, the old man has accepted the money. The old man has accepted his favor."
When the Kou Mansion's steward heard this, he no longer said much, arched his hand to Chen Lin, and left Maxingjie with the servants of the Kou Mansion.
A box containing money was left to Chen Lin.
A little yellow door next to Chen Lin, a little eagerly approached the sides of the boxes, and whispered: "The Kou Engineering Department is really generous..."
Chen Lin glanced at Xiaohuangmen without a trace, without saying a word, just instructed people to carry the boxes and detour to the courtyard outside the palace of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
As the saying goes, wealth is touching.
The little yellow gate saw that Kou Ji was so generous and thought Kou Ji was a good blackmailer, so he became greedy.
If you bump into Kou Ji in the future, you will have to blackmail one or two.
It's just that he obviously didn't distinguish his status or Kou Ji's status.
If he really commits an act of blackmailing Kou Ji, I'm afraid he won't be able to accommodate him inside and outside the palace.
"Seeing money is open... Things that do not live or die..."
Chen Lin sneered and murmured in a low voice.
He also climbed from the little eunuch to the position of the big eunuch step by step.
He knew the thoughts of those little eunuchs better than anyone.
Those little eunuchs relied that they were in the palace, so after leaving the palace, anyone dare to be greedy for money.
The ministers of civil and military affairs outside the palace know that they are servants of the official family, and it is not easy to care about them, how much they will give them all the money.
There are also people with humble official positions who are afraid that the eunuchs will say bad things about themselves when they return to the palace, so they will take the initiative to pay tribute.
Over time.
Pampered by the ministers of civil and military affairs.
The eunuchs, big and small, became insatiable one by one.
Dare to embezzle any money.
Anyone dare to take money.
They even risk being decapitated, stealing things from the palace and selling them.
Every year, the palace would kill more than a dozen eunuchs because of this incident.
Even so, the eunuchs of all sizes did not converge.
However, the eunuch who missed Kou Ji this time obviously missed the wrong person.
Kou Ji is so worried about that
The mother who pierced Koj with a needle in the palace last time is now rotten to pieces.
There were also two eunuchs who had brought Kou Ji's slander to Zhao Zhen. Now they have turned into chemical fertilizers, fertilizing the flower fields in the imperial garden.
It was Zhao Zhen who ordered.
It was Chen Lin who did it.
…
Kou Mansion.
Kou Ji still didn't know that because of his temporary move of giving money, he was actually missed by a young eunuch.
After Kou Ji took the jade bi, seal, and lone copy into the study, they put it on the shelf of the study.
Kou Ji’s study is very large.
It's like a huge library of books.
It's just that there are not only books but also some ancient books, bamboo slips, antiques and so on.
There are only two shelves for books, but there are indeed dozens of shelves for bamboo slips, ancient books, and antiques.
The antiques and ancient books were not collected by Kou Ji deliberately.
They were sent by others on New Years and holidays, some were accidentally encountered by him, and some were sent by Zhang Cheng.
Kou Ji's study has become a small museum.
Kou Ji took the things into the study, and put them on the shelves according to their texture and age.
Then I came to a bookcase with a locker and a locker. I randomly opened a locker, picked and picked from it, took some, and took it out of the room.
After leaving the door, Kou Ji gave Kou Zhong a call.
"Prepare the sedan, I'm going to the Ministry of Engineering..."
Kou Zhong immediately sent someone to prepare the sedan chair and sent Kou Ji to the Ministry of Engineering.
Kou Ji arrived at the Ministry of Industry and saw Wang Yunsheng sitting paralyzed on a recliner, surrounded by a group of officials and small officials holding tea and flattering him.
Kou Ji clicked his lips, "Wang Shi Lang is really comfortable?"
Wang Yunsheng closed his eyes slightly, sipped his tea, and listened comfortably to the flattery of the officials and small officials around him, and suddenly heard Kou Ji's voice.
His eyes opened.
I saw Kou Ji's face with a smile.
"Go away and go away..."
Wang Yunsheng hurriedly got up, put down the tea cup, drove away the officials and small officials around him, walked quickly to Kou Ji, bowed and saluted.
"Xiaguan Wang Yunsheng has met Shangguan."
Wang Yunsheng gave the ceremony, and did not forget to greet the subordinate officials and the small officials behind him, "What are you doing all in a daze, but you haven't come to see the Shangguan?"
The officials and small officials of the Ministry of Industry hurried forward in groups and bowed to salute.
Kou Ji waved his hand, "No need to be polite, what should I do?"
Upon hearing this, the subordinate officials and small officials of the Ministry of Industry bowed and exited the classroom one by one.
They can flatter Wang Yunsheng and whisper around Wang Yunsheng, but it doesn't mean they can do the same in front of Kou Ji.
first.
They are actually not very familiar with Kou Ji, do not understand Kou Ji's temperament, and dare not approach Kou Ji.
Secondly.
Kou Ji had stayed in two yamen before, leaving no good reputation.
As far as the yamen he has been to, whether it is an official or a small official, he has been tossed about it.
The life of the serious one is not guaranteed, and the slightest dismissal.
Naturally, they dare not get close to Kou Ji.
I was afraid that a word was wrong, or what he did made Kou Ji uncomfortable and was taken care of by Kou Ji.
After the officials and small officials of the Ministry of Industry left.
Wang Yunsheng and Kou Ji were left in the class room.
Wang Yunsheng eagerly invited Kou Ji to sit down, poured tea for Kou Ji, and said with a smile: "Shangguan, why do you have time to come to our office?"
Kou Ji was sipping his tea while squinting at him, and said, "Why, I can't come yet?"
Wang Yunsheng hurriedly said, "That's not what he meant to be an official."
Kou Ji took a sip of tea and smiled calmly: "Forgive you for not dare to..."
"That's that... We are a family..."
"..."
Kou Ji was a little uncomfortable with Wang Yunsheng’s eager look. After a few more sips of tea, Kou Ji asked, “I heard that in recent days, when you took the officials and officials from the Ministry of Engineering to re-measure the fields outside the city, Did you fish for less oil and water?"
When Wang Yunsheng heard the words, he immediately said seriously: "The lower officials did everything according to your instructions. They shouldn't be made, and I didn't dare to make a penny."
Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said, "It's time to fish, you haven't let it go, right?"
Wang Yunsheng smiled dryly and said: "Of course your share is indispensable, and when you turn around, you will send someone to send your share to the mansion."
Kou Ji waved his hand and said: "No need... Use the money to buy me all the fields around Ruishengzhuang outside the city. It may be useful in the future."
Kou Ji didn't want to move back the money he got from corruption.
But if you don't take it, Wang Yunsheng and others may not be at ease.
So Kou Ji asked Wang Yunsheng to use the money to buy land.
In the future, we will find opportunities to allocate these fields to Ruishengzhuang and distribute them to the people.
It is to accumulate merit for Wang Yunsheng and others.
Wang Yunsheng heard Kou Ji's instructions and hurriedly said: "The lower officials must handle this matter properly."
Kou Ji nodded and continued: "Now that the government affairs of land measurement are almost over, most of you are also free. I just found something for you to do.
A job related to the future of the Ministry of Engineering. "
Hearing that it was related to the future errand of the Ministry of Industry, Wang Yunsheng immediately pricked his ears.
Since Kou Ji took charge of the Ministry of Industry, he helped the Ministry of Industry regain a lot of power and got many lucrative errands.
With this, Wang Yunsheng ate his mouth full of oil.
I often sigh secretly: There are people in the court who are good officials...
Now that Kou Ji deliberately ordered the errand to come down, it was not related to the power grabbing by the Ministry of Industry, or the lucrative errand. How could he not care
"Shangguan just order..."
Wang Yunsheng said respectfully.
Kou Ji nodded, took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve, and handed it to Wang Yunsheng.
Wang Yunsheng looked at the things on the paper and asked in confusion: "Plow?"
Not waiting for Kou Ji to speak.
Wang Yunsheng stared at the plow on the paper with heavy eyes, and said in a deep voice, "It seems to be different from the plow used by the folk?"
Kou Ji pointed to one of the pictures and introduced: "The iron shaft plow, save the original plow arrow, dig a hole in the middle of the plow tip, use a wooden wedge to fix the iron shaft and adjust the depth, so that the structure of the plow body is simplified and yet It does not affect the efficiency of the arable land, and also makes the plough more durable, which prolongs the use time.
Using this to plow the land is more time-saving and labor-saving than the current quyuan plow used by the people.
More importantly, it can save the cost of making ploughs. "
Wang Yunsheng opened his mouth in amazement.
China has always been a big agricultural country since ancient times.
The ancients relied more on agriculture.
Wang Yunsheng knows exactly what it means to update farming equipment.
A credit, a great credit, a credit worthy of being recorded in the annals of history.
"This... this... this..."
Wang Yunsheng squeezed the drawing in his hand nervously, a little excited and speechless.
Although Kou Ji produced the drawings, Kou Ji obviously wanted to leave this thing to him.
Although he couldn't get the first credit, only a small amount of credit was enough to make him become an official.
How could he not be excited.
Kou Ji teased his lips and said, "Don't worry about excitement, let's look at the following ones."
Wang Yunsheng swallowed a mouthful of water, and hurriedly followed Kou Ji's instructions to look at the following pictures.
The same is a plow.
It's just different from the original plow.
The plow on the drawing is double-sided.
Kou Ji did not wait for Wang Yunsheng to speak with excitement, and said frankly: "The double-sided plow is better than the iron shaft plow. If you use it to plow the ground, the efficiency is much higher than that of the iron shaft plow. But it has a shortcoming, that is, a single manpower. , It is difficult to use it for a long time.
Animals such as cattle, horses, mules, etc. must be used to pull the plow. "
"Goooo!"
Wang Yunsheng took a strong sip of water, excited already hard to hold on to himself.
Compared with the advantages of the double-sided plow, the shortcomings of the double-sided plow are completely negligible.
In today's Great Song Dynasty, although it has not reached the level of one farming animal in each household, one of the three or five households must have one farming animal.
When people are busy in farming, they often borrow or rent farm animals from other people's homes to help their own homes to farm. That is a common occurrence.
Therefore, the shortcomings of the double-sided plow can be completely ignored.
Once the double-sided plow is successfully built and successfully tested, it will be pushed to the entire Song Dynasty, which will inevitably bring new changes to the farming of the Song Dynasty.
With the help of the double-sided plow, the people can cultivate more land, open up more wasteland, and grow more food.
It can be said that whether it is the iron shaft plow that Kou Ji took out, or the double-sided plow, they are all tools that benefit the country and the people.
Such a weapon that benefits the country and the people, once it is used by the people.
The imperial court will inevitably add officials to the Ministry of Industry, and give them great rewards.
Otherwise, tens of thousands of people in the world would not agree.
