"I just think it's dangerous, so I came to ask you for advice. Do you think my Cao family can make a move? If it can, my Cao family will get involved. If it can't, my Cao family will give up."
Cao Tong said very sincerely.
Kou Ji curled his lips and said, "If you don't mix up with the Cao family, will you really be reconciled?"
Cao Tong said frankly: "What's unwilling to be reconciled? My Cao family is not short of riches and nobles. There is no need to bet your life on money. My Cao family is not the Shi family.
The greed of the Shi family was well-known in Bianjing and even the entire Song Dynasty.
It is also very common to fight hard for money.
Kou Ji heard that Cao Tong's words did not seem to be false, so he solemnly said: "Then I will tell you very seriously now that the Cao family's best not to touch the hand with the word Jiaozipu, whoever touches the hand will die.
The officials, the officials of the Manchu dynasty, etc., tolerate your greed for money, but they will never tolerate your control of money that can shake the country. "
Cao Yu nodded heavily when he heard Kou Ji's words.
Kou Ji took a deep breath, and repeatedly said: "Don't take my words as deaf ears, don't touch your hands..."
Cao Tong shook his head decisively, "With your reminder, my Cao family will naturally not touch my hands. There is one more thing I want to ask you."
"you said… "
"The three families of Meng, Qian, and Mu, some of them are members of the steel forging workshop. Do you think my Cao family should take over?"
Hearing the words, Kou Ji was taken aback for a moment, then gave Cao Tong a sideways glance, and said angrily: "This is your fundamental purpose, right?"
Cao Tong has been in charge of Yizi Jiaozipu for a long time, and he will not lose sight of the risk of touching his hands.
He would not fail to remind the Cao family to touch their hands to Jiaozipu.
He should have retreated but felt unwilling to do so, so he asked himself for advice.
Cao Tong chuckled and said, "The members of the Yizijiaozipu are far more valuable than the members of the steel forging workshop. The profits inside are so jealous that I am naturally a little unwilling, so I asked you for advice.
After getting your affirmative answer, I will naturally not worry about the members of Yizijiaozipu.
However, the members of Yizijiaozipu cannot be worried, but the members of the forging workshop can still be worried. "
Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said, "Since you are interested in the members of the forging workshop, then go get it. Why tell me? Don't tell me, your Cao family can't afford the money and can't eat the members of the forging workshop. ."
Cao Tong smiled and said: "You created the steel forging workshop alone, and there are officials inside it. My Cao family wants to intervene, and naturally I have to ventilate with you. The official side can't open their mouths, so they can only I opened my mouth to you."
Kou Ji pondered for a moment, and said, "The members of the forging steel workshop, your Cao family can intervene, but don't eat too much. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, after eating the members of the forging steel workshop, your Cao family must 10% to 20% of the distribution of official households.
We can do business with officials, but we must let the officials take the lead.
In this way, officials will not be dissatisfied with us.
In this way, officials will not attack us.
As long as the officials do not take action against us, in the Song Dynasty, no one can stop us from making a fortune. "
Cao Yu thought for a while, and felt that Kou Ji's words can be said to be the most logical saying.
They found some good business in the past, only thinking about taking advantage of it.
But to do so requires infamy and risk.
Only now have I discovered that pulling the official family to do business together and letting the official family take the biggest piece not only makes money, but also does not have to bear infamy and risk.
Simply kill two birds with one stone.
"it is good… "
Cao Tong only thought for a moment before he agreed to the matter.
Seeing that Cao Tong had agreed, Kou Ji asked, "What is your third purpose? Isn't it Hexi's benefit?"
Cao Tong smiled brightly and said, "I can't hide anything from you."
Kou Ji groaned: "Since your Cao family wants to eat the members of the forging steel workshop, don't think about the fields in Hexi. The trees attract the wind and are easy to be remembered.
Zhu Neng discovered a huge silver mine in Hexi, and we can mine it together.
Officials accounted for 60%, you, me, and Zhu Neng each accounted for 10%, and the remaining part was paid to the people who dig. "
Cao Yu nodded his head with a brighter smile when he heard the words, and said, "You are so kind to those people..."
Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said: "Exhausted Ze and Yu will die soon."
Cao Tong nodded in agreement.
After discussing business matters, the two chatted for a while.
On the occasion of parting.
Cao Yu seemed to think of something, and said to Kou Ji: "By the way, I think I should tell you one thing. There are a group of people in the court, secretly trying to counterbalance you, Wang Zeng, Li Di, Lu Yijian and others, so prepare Persuade the officials to summon the Wei Wang's line to return to Beijing."
Kou Ji raised his brows, and said in amazement: "Is he summoning the Wei Wang to return to Beijing to check and balance us?"
Cao Yu nodded heavily.
Kou Ji frowned and said, "Isn't it because it is to prevent the officials' descendants from having trouble prospering?"
Cao Yu laughed and said: "Someone deliberately said so in order to win others to persuade the official family to recall the Wei and Wang line. Those who are worried about the bureaucratic heirs will naturally fall into other people's tactics."
Kou Ji frowned tighter, "Are they so stupid, so easily hit?"
Cao Tong smiled bitterly and said: "It's Yangmou... There are examples of the first emperor's unprosperous heirs. Some important officials who value this matter very much, even if they know that it is a strategy of others, they have to win.
Kou Ji said solemnly: "Why do they expect that the official descendants will be difficult to prosper."
Cao Tong's smile was even more bitter, "The reason lies with you."
Kou Ji frowned and said, "Erysipelas?"
Cao Tong nodded and said: "You have exposed the poisonous things of the elixir, and tell everyone that the difficulty of the descendants of the first emperor is directly related to the poison of the elixir. When the officials were young, they also used the elixir.
Although you have cured the official family, some people are still worried about accidents. "
Kou Ji said solemnly: "When I left Beijing, wasn't Zhang already pregnant? Could it be that the child in Zhang's belly could not dispel their worries?"
Cao Yu said with a bit of bitter expression: "During the reign of the first emperor, there were many pregnant concubines. Very few people can give birth, and even fewer can feed them."
Kou Ji gritted his teeth and said: "If I am an official, I will send the pregnant concubine to you people's residence. If the concubine gives birth to the prince and daughter, I will be promoted to you.
If you can't give birth to the prince and prince, all of your nine clans will be cut off. "
After a pause, Kou Ji added: "If I can't support it, I cut it. I still don't believe it. The power of the whole country can't protect a few children in the infant."
Cao Yu was taken aback when he heard this, "Don't talk nonsense. The princes and princes have nothing to do with us."
Kou Ji glanced at Cao Tong contemptuously.
Who believes it.
Have the ability and the means to do this kind of thing.
Eight achievements are the daughters sent to the palace by the nobles.
Seeing Kou Ji looking at him contemptuously, Cao Yu said decisively: "I can assure you that people from my Cao family who enter the palace will never do such things."
Kou Ji's face became cold, "That is to say, how many other girls who entered the palace did it?"
How could Cao Tong answer this kind of proposition, Cao Tong shook his head almost without hesitation, "I don't know."
Kou Jichang sighed, "My Da Song is now thriving, and all of us should do our best to make our Da Song richer and stronger.
The official family should have both sons and daughters, and the four barbarians that the Song Dynasty should fight are surrendered, and all nations come to the court.
There are always some idiots who jump out to find something at this critical time.
I'm tired of fighting with them.
In the future, I will use thunder methods to chop off all those who stand in the way. "
When Cao Tong heard the words, his expression was astonished, and he was slightly frightened.
In the past, Kou Ji said hacking people, no one would care.
It's different now.
Kou Ji just cut hundreds of thousands of people in the Western Regions, and if he cut a few more, he probably won't have many worries.
He said to chop, I am afraid it will be really chopped.
Kou Ji didn't care about Cao Tong's thoughts. After he finished speaking, he stared at Cao Tong and asked in a deep voice: "If I really want to kill people in Bianjing, will your Cao family help me?"
Cao Yu's heart jumped. After hesitating for a long time, he gritted his teeth and asked, "If you were to kill someone in Bianjing, who would help you?"
Kou Ji thought about it and said, "Officials, my grandfather, Wang Zeng, Lu Yijian, Li Di, Li Zhaoliang, Zhu Neng, Liu Heng, Yang Wenguang... Probably that's all."
The corner of Cao Tong's mouth twitched.
What Kou Ji mentioned was the name of the person, but what Cao Tong saw was the force behind the life.
Among the civil servants, those who can take care of things are basically those who support Kou Ji.
Among the military ministers, although they are weaker, Li Zhaoliang and Zhu Neng are both newly promoted national princes. They are red and purple, and their reputations are good. If they support Kou Ji, they can also lead some of the poor. The general supported Kou Ji.
Coupled with the words of the Cao family, it is enough to ask Ding Chaotang, let alone cut people in the city of Bianjing.
So, what are the pictures of those who can't see the general trend and jump out
Feeling dead fast enough
The civil servants were all fighting for Da Song to become stronger.
The backbone of the military ministers is also fighting for Da Song to become stronger.
Under the guidance of Kou Ji, a turbulent wave has gradually formed.
Unless Zhao Zhen appears repeatedly, what else would those people use to fight Kou Ji
Will Zhao Zhen repeat
Unless Zhao Zhen is suddenly stupid, it is impossible to repeat.
Because under the guidance of Kou Ji, everything in the Song Dynasty is advancing rapidly on the bright side.
In terms of culture,
The Great Song Dynasty abolished many Qingshui yamen, abolished most of the casual officials, and changed some of the laws.
The efficiency of yamen at all levels under the imperial government, instead of being weakened, was increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In the past, errands that could be completed in one month can now be completed in half a month, or even ten days.
The tasks that used to require three or five people to do can now be done by one person.
The imperial court's control of the locality and the imperial government's governance of the locality have been significantly strengthened.
Commercial taxes and agricultural taxes are rising linearly.
The emergence of Yizijiaozipu changed the trading mode of merchants and promoted the development of commerce.
As businessmen’s buying and selling transactions become more rapid, the commercial tax generated will naturally increase gradually.
The emergence of forging steel workshops has created many agricultural tools that are conducive to farming and promoted the development of agriculture.
Last year, the court added tens of millions of acres of land.
The added grain amounted to as many as 13 million shi.
If it were not for the imperial court to fully support hundreds of thousands of people to fight abroad last year, the imperial court's surplus last year would catch up with the peak period since the founding of the Song Dynasty.
In terms of martial arts.
Twice to explore the land, conquered more than a dozen states for the Great Song Dynasty.
The territory of the Song Dynasty was expanded again, adding a lot of fertile land to the Song Dynasty.
It can be said to be outstanding.
The most important thing is that after a streamlining of the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty, not only did the combat effectiveness of the soldiers and horses decrease, but the combat effectiveness of the soldiers and horses became stronger.
The Battle of Hexi is the most obvious example.
In the past two years, the literary and martial arts of the Song Dynasty can be said to be very significant.
The Song Dynasty is advancing towards the good side.
Unless Zhao Zhen is stupid and doesn't want to see the Song Dynasty become stronger, it is impossible to support those who hinder the development of the Song Dynasty.
Cao Tong analyzed everything thoroughly in his heart and made a decision in his heart. He stared at Kou Ji and said, "The Cao family can support you... However, the Cao family has one condition..."
Kou Ji looked at Cao Tong in surprise, and asked, "Don't go back and ask your uncle?"
Cao Tong shook his head and said, "As long as you can agree to the terms of my Cao family, I can persuade my uncle."
Kou Ji was taken aback for a moment, and said in deep thought, "What conditions?"
Cao Yu said solemnly: "If one day, the queen gives birth to a dragon, you must support the queen when she wins her daughter."
Kou Ji was silent for a moment, and then thought: "Your Cao family is already very rich, do you still want to fight for wealth by seizing the protagonist?"
Cao Yu shook his head slightly and said: "It is not a profitable business to seize a prostitute. On the contrary, in order to attract more supporters, you have to pay a lot."
Kou Ji said quietly: "But once your nephew sits on the throne, your Cao family will get countless rewards."
Cao Tong laughed out of his voice, "Do you think the Cao family today can go further?"
Kou Ji was taken aback for a moment, and he thought: "If you go further, you will be a threat to the throne."
Cao Yu nodded and said, "So even if my nephew sits on the throne, he won't give us anything in return from the Cao family. After all, he is not a member of the Cao family. It is impossible to watch our Cao family sit up and threaten him. "
Kou Ji pondered: "Then what did your Cao family do this way?"
Cao Tong smiled indifferently: "Spend money for peace."
Kou Ji looked stunned.
Cao Yu explained: "As long as my nephew sits on the throne, he will bless my Cao family one or two. Even though my Cao family can't get anything in return from him, there is no need to worry about the safety of the three generations."
Kou Ji looked astonished and had to admire Cao Tong's wisdom.
It is not unreasonable that a large family can be passed down from generation to generation.
Empress Cao really gave birth to a prince and really sat on the throne, that would really protect the Cao family from harm for three generations.
"Then you have to wait until the queen can give birth to a prince..."
Kou Ji said quietly.
Cao Tong smiled and said: "As long as you agree, the rest will be handed over to God. If God gives us peace for the three generations of the Cao family, then he will surely let the queen give birth to the dragon. If God doesn't give it, then we There is no way.
Manpower can hardly shake the will of heaven. "
