It's not a big deal to inquire about the news in the palace, but it is not blatant.
In particular, Kou Zhun is now sitting in the position of the general regent. If the people of the Kou Mansion go out to inquire about the news in the palace, it is easy to be regarded as Kou Zhun and Kou Ji's ancestors and grandsons preparing for rebellion.
Kou Ji did not intend to rebel, and Kou Zhun did not intend to rebel.
So it's better not to give people the wrong signal.
Otherwise, if some people with enthusiasm jump out and eagerly push their grandchildren to the top, it will be bad...
Kou Ji instructed Kou Zhong to send people to watch the movements of the queen mother Liu E, Liu Mei, Guo Huai and others, so he didn't need to worry about the matter all the time.
After Kou Zhong left the study.
Kou Ji went back to the room to sleep.
The next day.
Kou Ji put on his official uniform and went to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry.
As soon as I entered the Yamen, I saw the officials and small officials from the Ministry of Industry, beaming.
The officials at the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Industry, through the Ministry of Industry, offered new ploughs to the court, and were promoted to the next level. They were naturally happy.
Wang Yunsheng has benefited the most.
Although there was not much change in the official ranks, there was an additional title of Fuwen Pavilion servant system on his body.
Although the Fuwenge servant system is a virtual title, it has the highest gold content in the virtual title.
The Fuwenge paternity system is further up, is the Fuwenge straight bachelor.
Further up, is the Fuwen Pavilion Bachelor.
It seems that titles of this kind are all given to courtiers who are knowledgeable.
Wang Yunsheng, a person of recommended background, was mixed with the title of Fuwen Pavilion servant system. From now on, no one would dare to underestimate him as a recommended background, and no one would dare to suppress him by his recommended background.
If it weren't for Wang Yunsheng's too old age, he might still be able to continue mixing up with the title of Fuwen Pavilion servant system, and finally into the inner court.
Maybe it can break the unwritten rule of "non-jinshi not entering the inner court" in the court.
The staff of the Ministry of Industry, although they did not get a promotion in their status in the rewards of the court this time, they received a lot of financial rewards.
They are naturally happy too.
As soon as Kou Ji stepped into the main hall of the Yamen, Wang Yunsheng saw him.
Wang Yunsheng quickly greeted Kou Ji with an eager look, and gave a deep salute, "The junior officer has today's achievements, thanks to the support of the senior officer, please be respected by the next officer."
The subordinate officials from the Ministry of Industry also stepped forward and bowed their hands.
Before, they were worried that they would sway in front of Kou Ji and be kicked out of the court by Kou Ji making trouble.
Now what they were worried about not only did not happen, but instead they were promoted through Kou Ji's means, and they would naturally no longer avoid Kou Ji.
Kou Ji smiled indifferently: "You don't need to be polite... You are conscientious and follow the instructions of the officer. The officer has benefited and naturally thinks about you. It should be noted that the officer was mentioning punishment back then... The official..."
Kou Ji mentioned two yamen in a row, and found that the officials of these two yamen seemed to be tossed a little bit by him. It was not easy to use them to encourage the officials of the Ministry of Industry, so he said haha: "In short, this official never treats his loyalty and conscientious work. The man who does the job."
When the officials of the Ministry of Industry heard Kou Ji's words, their expressions were different.
All hands together.
One word.
"The lower official must be loyal and loyal to the upper official..."
Seeing this, Kou Ji was taken aback and shook his head.
He knew that the officials of the Ministry of Industry had misunderstood him.
He wanted to motivate the officials of the Ministry of Industry, but he said the wrong thing and was regarded as a beating by the officials of the Ministry of Industry.
Misunderstanding is also a misunderstanding.
Kou Ji didn't explain much, and beat them to let them guard against arrogance and rashness, and continue to work diligently.
Kou Ji waited until the officials of the Ministry of Industry gave up their hands, and said in a serious tone: "This official is here today, there is an important errand order. The two new ploughs presented by the Ministry of Industry have been discussed in the inner court and are ready to be implemented throughout the entire university. Song.
The inner court hopes that our Ministry of Industry will deliver the new ploughs to the people as soon as possible, but the spring plowing has been reduced, leaving little time for our Ministry of Industry.
Therefore, the official decided to join forces with Ruishengzhuang's wrought iron workshop and Yizijiaozipu to jointly implement two new ploughs.
You and others need to take a trip to appease Siyamen, and work with workers from all prefectures, prefectures, and counties to implement the new plow forging method as soon as possible.
Except for some special places, most of the new ploughs are made of wood.
After you get to the place, you can let the local government start to make the parts of the plough.
After the plowshares and other parts of the Ruishengzhuang wrought iron workshop are delivered, they can be installed immediately.
Be sure to hurry up between spring plowing and hand out new ploughs to the people. "
"The officer obeys..."
The officials of the Ministry of Industry agreed.
Kou Ji nodded in satisfaction.
When Wang Yunsheng heard that Kou Ji started to talk about it, he immediately entered the state. After agreeing to Kou Ji's instructions, he immediately asked: "Shangguan, I don't know if the court intends to give new plows to the people free of charge, or if it is paid. Give it to the people."
Upon hearing this, the officials of the Ministry of Industry looked at Kou Ji together, waiting for Kou Ji's answer.
Obviously.
They are also very concerned about this matter.
Kou Ji's eyes fell on Wang Yunsheng, and said: "Naturally it is paid..."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yunsheng and others looked a little ugly.
If the imperial court sells new ploughs to the people, the new ploughs will definitely not be delivered to the people before spring ploughing.
First of all, the new plough is a new product.
Before it has spread well among the people, it is difficult for the people to recognize it for the first time.
Not to mention let the people use it.
Ninety percent of the people will still use the original plows.
The common people would not bet on their one-year revenue.
Secondly.
Whenever the paid things issued by the imperial court are spread to various places, they will always change their tastes.
Under the layers of exploitation, when new ploughs are displayed in front of the people, it is afraid that it will be a sky-high price.
The people can only stay away from it.
However, officials at the Ministry of Industry have their considerations.
Kou Ji also has his own considerations.
Both the imperial court and Kou Ji himself have the ability to present new ploughs to the people of Song Dynasty for free.
But neither the court nor Kou Ji himself thought about doing this.
Giving new ploughs to the people free of charge, of course, will make the new ploughs appear in the hands of the people as soon as possible, and in the fields as soon as possible.
The people will never cherish the things that are free of charge.
It even caused quarrels, fights, and complaints against the court because of the problem of eating more and taking up more when distributing new ploughs.
In the future, the imperial court will promote any good things, if they are not given away for free, it will cause public grievances.
The good governance promoted by the imperial court might turn into an evil government.
Only let the people pay out a small amount of money.
They will cherish the new plough, and at the same time, after enjoying the convenience of the new plough, they will give birth to the idea of taking advantage of the court.
In the future, the court will promote anything good, they will rush to ask for it.
There are many things that Kou Ji needs to introduce, so naturally he can't cause trouble for himself in the first step.
Therefore, to implement new ploughs, money must be collected.
Kou Ji faced the ugly faces of Wang Yunsheng and others, and said with a smile: "What you are worried about, this official knows in his heart. However, this official can tell you that this time the promotion of new ploughs, there will never be things that you worry about.
For the price of new ploughs, this official will ask the court to issue a newspaper and post it to various places in the Song Dynasty.
Uniform prices across the country.
Whoever dares to manipulate the price can't hide it.
At that time, the official will also invite the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and the Imperial City Department to supervise them together. "
After a pause, Kou Ji smiled slightly sullenly and said: "Unless you are looking for death by yourself, no one dares to do anything about this matter."
When Wang Yunsheng and others heard Kou Ji's words, Qi Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
Kou Ji continued: "In addition, in order to prevent those poor people from being unable to afford new ploughs, this official will let Yizijiaozi shop set up temporary shops in various provinces, states, and counties, specializing in distribution. Sell and rent new ploughs."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yunsheng and others gave their hands together.
"Shangguan thought thoughtful and thoughtful. Shangguan took several measures and must be able to deliver new ploughs to the people as soon as possible. Xiaguan and others are willing to follow Shangguan's drive and run for Shangguan..."
With the reassurance given by Kou Ji, Wang Yunsheng and others no longer worry about the implementation of new ploughs.
Immediately.
Kou Ji took them to the table in the main hall and began to assign government affairs to them.
Although there are many officials in the Ministry of Industry, they are not enough to be assigned to various places.
So Kou Ji needs to properly arrange where they are going.
According to their respective abilities, as well as the places they are familiar with after the assignment is finished.
Kou Ji gave each of them several copies of the two new plows, and sent people to Sansi to collect the expenses they needed for going out on business, and sent them out of Bianjing.
After Wang Yunsheng accompanied Kou Ji to send the subordinate officials of the Ministry of Engineering out of Bianjing, he sat on the carriage and asked Kou Ji doubtfully, "Senior officer, are you too generous to them? In May, you actually helped them declare their public expenses for a year."
Kou Ji smiled without saying a word, and did not explain much.
Seeing this, Wang Yunsheng did not dare to ask more.
After the carriage passed the inner city, Wang Yunsheng got out of the carriage and said to Kou Ji: "The next official will go to Kaifeng Mansion, and together with the workers of Kaifeng Mansion, we will start to make parts for new plough tools."
Kou Ji resigned.
Wang Yunsheng stepped to Kaifeng Mansion.
It wasn't until Wang Yunsheng disappeared that Kou Ji said quietly, "The next thing the Ministry of Industry will implement is not only plows, but also many, many, they are afraid that they will not come back for a while. I naturally want to help them a lot. Declare some public expenses so that they don't have deep resentment towards me, the superior."
Kou Ji shook his head and smiled, and ordered the groom to return to the house in a carriage.
After returning home.
Kou Ji sent people to recruit Chen Jing, Wang Tiansheng and others from Ruishengzhuang outside the city, as well as Liu Heng.
Kou Ji ordered Chen Jing, Wang Tiansheng, and others to take the documents from the inner court and go to Sansi to pick up iron materials.
He instructed Liu Heng to start using the manpower of the Imperial City Division to spread the news to the people of the Song Dynasty that the Ministry of Industry had created a plow that could grow more than ten acres of land every day.
Although the rumors are inconsistent with the truth.
But the more so, the easier it is to attract people's attention.
After receiving Kou Ji's order, Chen Jing and Wang Tiansheng went to Sansi to pick up iron materials.
With the handwriting of the inner court, Li Zi could only pinch his nose and hand the iron material to Chen Jing and Wang Tiansheng.
With iron materials, Ruishengzhuang's wrought iron workshop started again.
When Li Heng started working on the wrought iron workshop, before the craze for soldiers using wood carvings and armor had not dissipated, he began to walk the news that the Ministry of Construction had forged new ploughs.
Everything is developing according to Kou Ji's mind.
And for this, he paid a lot of tiger army, but in a flat day, quietly left Bianjing city.
The military transfer document was issued by Kou Zhun to the Privy Council, sealed by the Privy Council, and sent to Kou Ji.
After Kou Ji took the document and read it in the camp of the Tiger Army, the leader of the Tiger Army, Di Qing and the deputy commander Zhu You, silently ordered the soldiers of the Tiger Army to pack their bags, transport the wounded, and escort the grain. , Equipment, quietly left Bianjing city.
There was no farewell scene of the crowds, and no noble person gave away mile after mile.
Some are just.
The soldiers, straddling horses, carrying armaments, escorting food, grass, and luggage, walked silently on the road.
That day.
The light rain is misty.
There was no pedestrian on the road.
After Kou Ji sent them onto the gallop, he stopped.
Seeing them, after disappearing into the hazy light rain, the eye sockets were involuntarily moist.
"Four brother, are you... crying?"
The horse riding was accompanied by Liu Heng and Cao Tong on both sides of Kou Ji, looking at Kou Ji with moist eyes in astonishment.
Kou Ji did not deny, and slowly nodded.
Liu Heng asked puzzledly: "Why?"
Kou Ji sighed and said, "Touching the scene... Love..."
Liu Heng and Cao Tong looked at each other with a blank face.
They didn't understand why Kou Ji would be touched by the sight of the tiger army leaving.
They have long been used to seeing soldiers entering Bianjing and leaving from Bianjing. They have sent countless soldiers, and they have not encountered anything that moistened their eye sockets.
It's not just them.
Perhaps, the entire Song Dynasty, and even the entire world, would not understand Kou Ji's mood.
People all over the world saw the tiger army, but the tiger army.
But the Tiger Army that Kou Ji saw had two figures.
A heavy black armor...
A heavy green uniform...
Ink armor, as everyone knows today.
But only Kou Ji knew about the green uniform.
Only Kou Ji had seen the figure under the green uniform.
Those figures always appear in front of people when they need them most, and use their flesh and blood to help people through a series of difficulties and obstacles. After the suffering, people want to express their gratitude to them. At the time, they had quietly left.
They were not present at the joyous celebration banquet.
But no one forgets the glory of their bodies.
Ordinary and great.
They are talking about.
Kou Ji was only in the tiger army, and saw their shadows, so he was in love with the scene for a while.
"I'm not a good person, but I have always been in awe of you..."
Kou Ji wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes, and murmured in a low voice after a thousand years of time and space.
