"Knowing that you are trusted by officials, you don't have to show off in front of the old man..."
Li Di glanced at Kou Ji and said sourly.
Kou Ji returned Li Di with a bright smile.
The next day.
Kou Ji took his own people and left Shazhou.
Afterwards, they rushed to Guazhou, Suzhou, Xiliang and other places for inspection.
After some inspections, Kou Ji discovered that this year's Hexi has a bumper harvest.
With the exception of Guazhou’s grain production, which was a bit poor, almost all of the other regions have had a bumper harvest.
The reason why Guazhou hasn't had a bumper harvest is not because the people who manage Guazhou didn't work hard.
But Guazhou is the place of the Fourth World War. The vegetation has been cut down and destroyed for hundreds of years, almost reduced to desert, and the land is very barren.
Therefore, Fan Zhongyan spent most of his time planting trees with the people of Guazhou during his governance of Guazhou.
So Guazhou did not have a bumper harvest.
The process of grain harvesting is very spectacular.
As the grain is grown early and late, the entire harvesting process lasted more than two months.
After all the food was delivered to Xiliang City, it was three months later, and it was in late autumn.
Massive amounts of grain poured into Xiliang City, completely filling Xiliang City.
Xiliang City was emptied by Kou Ji, and he reluctantly put down all the food.
There was a big harvest in Hexi, but there was not much food left in Hexi.
Except for the people who stayed in Hexi kept a portion for themselves and filled the newly built Changping warehouse in Hexi, almost all of the remaining grain in Hexi was delivered to Kou Ji.
Hundreds of thousands of civilian husbands, hundreds of thousands of soldiers, hundreds of thousands of captives and returned Uighurs, and more than half a million people planted grain, all gathered in Kou Ji's hands at one go. It can be seen how large the amount of grain is.
The food grown by the civilian husbands and soldiers has to be bought with money.
All the food planted by the captives and the returned Uighurs was sent to Kou Ji free of charge.
In the city lord's mansion.
Kou Ji squatted on the grain mountain, looking at the grain piled into the sea, and questioned: "How much grain does this have?"
Although Kou Ji issued the decree on the reclamation and planting of Hexi.
But Kou Ji never thought about the gathering of grain in Hexi.
Looking at the huge amount of food now, Kou Ji was a little uncomfortable.
"Five thousand, three hundred and twenty thousand stones..."
Liu Heng stood beside Kou Ji, suppressing the shock in his heart, and uttered a number in a deep voice.
Kou Ji chuckled, "I'm afraid that few people in the Manchu civil and military have seen so much food, right?"
Liu Heng said with a little excitement in his heart: "No one has seen so much food except us."
Kou Ji smiled with satisfaction: "Then the transportation of so much grain back to Bianjing will definitely surprise the Manchu civilization, right?"
"Not necessarily... but certainly..."
Liu Heng said firmly.
Kou Ji smiled and nodded, got up, patted his butt, walked down Liangshan, and walked all the way into the main hall of the city lord’s mansion, watching Du Yan, who was sitting in the main hall and busy with government affairs, walked all the way into the main hall of the city lord’s mansion. Regret..."
Du Yan trembled, put down the pen stiffly with his fingers, raised his head, and looked at Kou Ji.
Just a few months.
Du Yan was quite old, the gray hair on his head was hard to hide, his beard was slightly pale, and his expression was very haggard.
"Regret..."
Du Yan grumbled in despair.
Thanks to the efforts of Kou Ji and others, the Treasury of the Song Dynasty was full and a bumper harvest was obtained.
After this massive amount of grain is transported back to Bianjing, the granary in Bianjing will be full.
When this massive amount of grain flows into every corner of the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty will starve many people to death.
Today's Great Song Dynasty can be called a prosperous age, and can say a great rule.
Kou Ji and his party are working hard for Da Song.
And he didn't make much effort in the middle.
The prosperity and governance of the Song Dynasty had nothing to do with Du Yan.
His fame has nothing to do with Du Yan.
Du Yan raised his head stiffly, staring at Kou Ji, "Do you want to take the opportunity to taunt me?"
Kou Ji slowly shook his head, "I didn't mean that... I just wanted to tell you that you have been an official for half your life, but you haven't seen the true way of being an official, and haven't gone the right way.
The purpose of being an official is to be the master for the people, for the benefit of the people, and not to worry about who is sitting on the throne.
You go one by one, running for the throne.
But have you ever thought about who will sit on the throne? You can really decide? "
Du Yan stared at Kou Ji without saying a word.
Kou Ji hummed coldly, and said mercilessly: "If the officials are unhappy, even if you send all the lines of the Wei Palace to Bianjing, what can you do? If the officials are unwilling, even if you take the line of the Wei Palace. They all advanced into the palace, and they missed the throne.
Even if the official descendants are difficult to prosper, it will not be the turn of the Wei Wangfu to come out to snatch the throne.
There are still more heirs in the line of Taizu.
Taizong's line, even more so.
The Wei Wangfu is in the same vein, what a thing. "
When Du Yan heard this, his eyes were a little red.
Kou Ji continued: "The official family will live for a long time, so long as you can't imagine Du Yan. We can send in a batch of girls to the official family every year, so that the official family will be pleased, and the official family will have a prince sooner or later.
When the official family has a prince, I, Kou Ji, will stand by the prince, and I will see if he can grow up. "
Du Yan trembled all over, and said in a deep voice, "If you don't live long..."
"Ah… "
Kou Ji smiled coldly, "Then I will kill all of you first, and then lift this plate."
Du Yan stood up abruptly, staring at Kou Ji tremblingly and shouted, "You are a disaster for the country."
"Bah..."
Kou Ji took a sip, and said without mercy: "I'm talking about disaster to the country, but you are the people who are disaster to the country. Yu Qi handed Da Song to you, it is better for me to cause disaster."
"Kou Ji!"
Du Yan roared.
Kou Ji snorted coldly, "Govern Hexi well. If something goes wrong in Hexi, I will personally pick up the knife to kill you."
Du Yanqi trembled all over.
Kou Ji no longer talked to Du Yan, but shouted at Liu Heng: "Go tell all the soldiers, all the civilians, load all the food into the truck, and prepare the class to return to the court."
"Hey..."
Liu Heng agreed.
Leaving the City Lord's Mansion.
Tens of thousands of soldiers and tens of thousands of civilians, under the order of Kou Ji, all started together.
More than 50 million stones of grain, loaded with horses in carts, consumed hundreds of thousands of carts and more than 100,000 horses.
The team is dozens of miles long.
Kou Ji did not stop in Hexi after all the food was loaded on the truck. After he handed the soldiers, horses, captives, and attached Uighurs to Zhu Neng's control, he set off for Beijing with a huge team.
Kou Ji and Liu Heng, together with their staff, rode horses and ran wildly from the end of the team to the head of the team, and it took a full day.
The huge transportation team, like a giant dragon, rushed in the direction of Bianjing City.
Where Kou Ji and his party passed, no one stopped and looked sideways.
Everyone who saw the food transport team was shocked.
It took half a month from Kou Ji until Kou Ji left the Hexi realm.
The transportation team is too large, so the speed is very slow.
When Kou Ji arrived outside the border of Hexi, he didn't rush on his way.
Instead, he stayed for a day outside the boundaries of Hexi.
Kou Ji and Qingtang King Jiao Si Luo have an appointment.
Siluo, the king of Qingtang, promised to give Kou Ji a heavy gift when Kou Ji's class returned to the court.
Kou Ji did not refuse, so he waited for a day outside the border of Hexi.
Jiao Si Luo wants to ask Kou Ji, so he dare not deceive Kou Ji.
On the evening of the day Kou Ji waited, Jiao Si Luo sent people to give away thousands of high-quality horses, a dozen beauties, and two boxes of gold.
After Kou Ji took the gift from Qingtang King Jiao Si Luo, he exchanged greetings with the gift-giving messenger, and then led the people on the journey.
Kou Ji and his party crossed the Hexi.
The news that Kou Ji and his entourage were escorting the food they could not finish eating was blown out like a gust of wind.
Wherever Kou Ji and his entourage arrived, people gathered on the side of the road to watch.
The counties, prefectures, and government offices have long been informed by the imperial court, so after Kou Ji and his party entered the country, officials from all over the country gathered next to the boundary marker. As long as Kou Ji entered, they would accompany Kou Ji through the journey. .
Welcome and send off one journey after another.
The scene is very spectacular.
The limelight is very high.
It can be said that looking through the history books, I can't find a courtier who can beat Kou Jifeng.
Kou Ji went back and forth.
After more than two months, he returned to Kaifeng.
Zhao Zhen led hundreds of civil and military officials to greet him at the boundary marker of Kaifeng.
With such a deep love, I can't find the second one in history books.
Kou Ji didn't change all the way. The moment he saw Zhao Zhen, he was slightly moved.
Before Zhao Zhen took the initiative to meet him, Kou Ji jumped off his horse and rushed to Zhao Zhen with Liu Heng, Li Zhaoliang, and Yang Wenguang.
"Chen Kou Ji, see the official house..."
"Chen Li Zhaoliang..."
"Chen Yang Wenguang..."
"Chen Liu Hyung..."
"See the official..."
Zhao Zhen walked forward quickly, holding up Kou Ji's arms, pursing his mouth, and said with a slight excitement: "Fourth brother..."
Kou Ji hurriedly said: "In front of the officials, the ministers dare not call their brothers."
Zhao Zhen clasped Kou Ji's arms tightly, and said excitedly: "It won't get in the way... I call you fourth brother, I am willing... If anyone is dissatisfied, I will punish him..."
Kou Ji was taken aback for a moment, a little bit dumbfounded, and said, "The minister is terrified..."
The Manchu civil and military behind Zhao Zhen looked bitter.
Zhao Zhen pulled Kou Ji and solemnly said: "Go... Let me ride in a car..."
Zhao Zhen took Kou Ji and walked up to Longhu. Kou Ji was the first and the second big.
A personal name came out of Kou Ji's mind inexplicably.
no doubt.
Those who came out of Kou Ji's head were those who were either superior or inexperienced.
It seems that none of them end up very well.
Kou Ji said dumbfoundedly: "The minister just won a Hexi..."
Zhao Zhen seriously reminded Kou Ji, "There are still more than 50 million stones of grain."
Seeing that Zhao Zhen was so determined, Kou Ji could only cast his eyes on Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng, Zhang Zhibai and others who were standing not far away.
Lu Yijian looked up at the sky, as if the dark clouds obscured the sun.
Wang Zeng looked down at the ground, and seemed to think that the ants on the ground moved, quite interesting.
Zhang Zhibai plucked a fox fur from the cloak, preparing to sew a small hole in his cloak with fox fur.
Seeing this, Kou Ji twitched the corners of his mouth, retracted his gaze, and stared at Zhao Zhen and said: "Long Hu can go, but one thing must be made clear."
Zhao Zhen said decisively: "Four brothers bluntly said that if I can promise, I will agree."
Kou Ji said very bachelorfully: "If one day someone says that my grandfather is emitting purple smoke, there is a strange light in the ancestral house, and the dog raised in the family has long horns, don't believe it."
Zhao Zhen was taken aback when he heard the words, and after a little thought, he knew why Kou Ji had such concerns.
It seemed that he was making a big movement in order to welcome Kou Ji.
Some people with unpredictable minds are likely to make a fuss when Kou Jifeng is winning.
When he thought of this, Zhao Zhen had an idea.
"I won't believe those nonsense. If someone really says that, I will ask him to show evidence. If anyone in the whole country suspects that his words are false, I will deal with him for deceiving the king."
"Or... Let's take a regular carriage, shall we?"
Kou Ji pondered the proposal.
He believed Zhao Zhen's words, but he felt that he was already strong enough to win the limelight, and if he wins again, he is afraid that something will happen.
He didn't worry about what Zhao Zhen would do to him.
But he was worried about his people.
After all, the power in his hand is already very strong, already strong enough to move Da Song.
If someone releases the rumors that his yellow robe is added to the body, and his people respond everywhere, the fun will be great.
Seeing that Kou Ji was pushing around, Zhao Zhen refused to go to Longhu, so he agreed to accompany Kou Ji in an ordinary carriage.
The monarch and the minister got into the carriage.
The civil and military officials also followed up on the carriage.
A group of people drove to Bianjing City.
In the carriage.
Zhao Zhen chased Kou Ji to inquire about the process of Kou Ji's battle in Hexi. Kou Ji concealed the affairs of the Guardian Guard and Yuanshan Bu, and told Zhao Zhen about other things without revealing anything.
Zhao Zhen was very fascinated.
Hearing the thrilling place, he clenched his hands nervously, and when he heard the Great Song soldiers beat the enemy soldiers, they clapped excitedly.
Until Kou Ji finished talking about everything.
Zhao Zhen calmed down his excitement, and exhilarated: "Four brother Hexi and his entourage not only helped me expand the territory of the Song Dynasty, but also strengthened my power and prestige among the Siyi.
More importantly, we have the gold and silver of Hexi, and the grain of Hexi. Within ten years, we will have no worries. "
Kou Ji smiled and said: "It's just a few small contributions, the officials don't need to praise it so exaggeratedly."
Zhao Zhen shook his head, "I have established the Song Dynasty for decades. There are those who can recruit and those who can rule, and it may be possible to levy and rule, and can help my Song to collect tens of thousands of fortunes and cultivate fertile land. , You are the only one who harvests tens of millions of stones."
When Zhao Zhen said this, he let out a smile, and said, "Many changes in my Song Dynasty originate from your fourth brother. Everyone else thinks that it is the credit of everyone that Song Dynasty can have today, but I take a good analysis of it. After a while, I found out that Da Song can have today, and it is all the credit of the fourth brother running up and down after you appeared."
Kou Ji's heart jumped when he heard this.
Could it be that the identity of the traverser is going to be revealed
