Kou Ji returned to the Kou Mansion House and rested for half a day.
In the evening, Chen Lin brought a group of people to the Kou Mansion Courtyard with a lot of imperial decree.
Kou Ji led the people at the mansion and greeted him at the door.
Chen Lin made an announcement when the people from the Kou Mansion's courtyard arrived.
Kou Ji presided over the compilation of "Tiansheng Dictionary" and gave him a python robe, a jade belt, and a purple crown.
Kou Tianci took advantage of Kou Ji's merits, and was promoted to a third level.
Xiang Yan also took advantage of Kou Ji's contribution to promote the first rank.
Kou Ji's current official title has reached the point where it is difficult to be named.
If the official position were to go further, it would be a false position such as Taibao, Shaobao, and Shizhong.
If the title goes one step further, it will be a first-class duke, a county king, or a king.
At Kou Ji's age, it is not appropriate to carry positions such as Taibao and Shaobao.
It is also inappropriate for a title to be promoted to a first-class post.
The three of Lv Yijian would rather see the Kou clan as a family, but they would not see Kou clan a young Taibao, or a young king.
Therefore, most of the credit for Kou Ji's presiding over the compilation of "Tiansheng Dictionary" falls on Kou Tianci.
Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng, and Zhang Zhibai are all generous to Kou Tianci.
Because they knew that Kou Tianci would become a messenger when he was older, they didn't need to worry that Kou Tianci would become a high-ranking official at a young age, and he would reach the point of incapable of being sealed.
When Kou Tianci was young, no matter how great the officials were rewarded by Kou Ji's merits.
Once married to Princess Baoqing, they have to hand over their real jobs.
Become a idle husband and wife.
Although Zhao Zhen has already adjusted some of the rules of the royal family.
However, Zhao Zhen did not ban or change the rule of imperial relatives and the country not being involved in politics.
Therefore, once Kou Tianci married Princess Baoqing, he would lose the opportunity to be in power.
The three of Lv Yijian knew that Kou Tianci would eventually become a slack man, so they were very generous to Kou Tianci and immediately promoted Kou Tianci to the third level.
Kou Tianci was still a Meng Tong, and he had already entered the ranks of the sixth rank.
If Kou Ji builds some merits in the future, Kou Tianci will probably start at the 4th and 5th rank.
Kou Ji took the imperial decree from Chen Lin's hand, looked down at where he was standing, stared at his own Kou Tianci with vigilance, and muttered dissatisfiedly.
"How does Lao Tzu feel, Lao Tzu works for you..."
He worked hard to run around outside, Kou Tianci, this stinky boy staying in the mansion, dare nothing, he can be promoted quickly.
All the benefits he gained from his meritorious deeds were taken up by Kou Tianci. Isn't he working for Kou Tianci
When Kou Ji looked at Kou Tianci, Kou Tianci also stared at him silently. What he said, Kou Tianci did not hear clearly, but Kou Tianci felt the unkind look in his eyes.
Kou Tianci almost subconsciously distanced himself from him, and made a posture ready to escape.
Kou Ji glared at Kou Tianci and didn't bother to pay attention to him.
He ordered Xiang Yan to take Kou Tianci away.
Kou Ji accompanied Chen Lin and rushed to Ruishengyuan with the remaining imperial decree.
When we arrived at Ruishengyuan, we went to the place where the great scholars wrote books.
Kou Ji and Chen Lin saw Jia Changchao leading the other officials who compiled the book, standing upright at the gate of the garden, waiting for them.
Kou Ji and Chen Lin looked at each other with a look of confusion.
After the two came forward.
Jia Changchao immediately led the other officials who compiled the book to salute the two.
After the ceremony, Kou Ji couldn't help but ask: "Where are those great scholars?"
Jia Changchao smiled awkwardly: "They stopped paying attention to this matter after they learned that the official allowed them to sign on the "Tiansheng Dictionary". Now they are busy compiling the dictionary."
Chen Lin said dissatisfied: "The official will arrive, they dare not come out to welcome it."
Kou Ji glanced at Chen Lin, "Then you take people in and drag them out to make a board to show punishment?"
The corner of Chen Lin's mouth twitched, she glared at Kou Ji, and said, "The official said, they are my great Song scholars and should be treated kindly. If our family blames them, after returning to the palace, the official will definitely ask. Responsible."
Kou Ji curled his lips and said: "Then what was your yelling just now?"
Chen Lin snorted coldly: "As the eunuch next to the official family, we naturally have to maintain the majesty of the official family."
Hearing this, Kou Ji didn't continue to argue with Chen Lin, he said sternly: "Those big Confucians don't expect to be greedy for the court. Now for them, writing books should be the most important thing, so we won't bother them."
Kou Ji looked at Chen Lin, "You read out the will of the officials. I will go back and ask what those great Confucians want. As long as it is not too much, I will show the officials and let the officials reward them as they see fit."
Chen Lin nodded slowly and agreed with Kou Ji's statement.
After nodding, Chen Lin took a scroll of imperial decree and read it out.
Since the imperial decree is to be taken home to confess, every official has a corresponding decree.
Chen Lin read out dozens of officials' will, and it took more than an hour.
Kou Ji listened roughly, almost all of them were promoted to the third rank, and some money.
Jia Changchao made a lot of credit, so the reward is more generous than others. In addition to being promoted to the third level in his actual job, he also added a direct bachelor's degree in Baowen Pavilion.
Since then, Jia Changchao has become one of the most important ministers.
Go one step further and you are eligible to compete in phase.
Jia Changchao was very excited. He reached into his cuffs and took out for a long time, to give a message to the person who took out the money that he had prepared.
But after seeing Kou Ji and Chen Lin's smiles, he immediately dispelled this thought.
Officials hate corrupt people very much. The corrupt officials caught in recent years have almost no good end.
Chen Lin is a person next to the official family, and naturally has the same preferences as the official family.
Bribery to Chen Lin is equivalent to bribing under Zhao Zhen's nose.
It will definitely not end well.
As for Kou Ji, he has never been greedy since his official career. People in the ruling and opposition parties know that Kou Ji is not greedy for money and has never accepted any bribes.
So bribing Kou Ji will not end well.
Moreover, as Kou Ji, he really wanted to accept bribes, and Jia Changchao couldn't get the money in his sleeves.
Without seven or eighty thousand hits, it is an insult to Kou Ji.
Chen Lin saw Jia Chang put her hand in the cuff, then took it out again, and stared at Jia Changchao: "Jia Shi, what are you going to take?"
Jia Changchao hurriedly said: "I wrote a thank-you note, and wanted my father-in-law to help bring it back to the official house, but when I looked for it, I found it was left in the bedroom..."
Chen Lin slowly nodded her head, without questioning the matter.
He said a few words to Kou Ji, and then left Ruishengyuan.
After Chen Lin left, Kou Ji told Jia Changchao: "Take me to meet those great scholars..."
Jia Changchao hurriedly agreed and took Kou Ji to the place where the book was compiled, and met with the great scholars who were busy compiling the dictionary.
Kou Ji visited the great Confucians, and after learning about the rewards and needs of the great Confucians, he drove into the palace.
…
Inside the palace.
Shishitang.
Zhao Zhen stared at Kou Ji with a stunned look, "You mean, they don't want money or any officials, just want me to keep them in the Ruishengyuan to compile books?"
Kou Ji couldn't laugh or cry: "Yes... They also said that if the official can send people to build some houses or gardens for them to live in in Ruisheng Garden, it would be even better..."
The great Confucians used to be separated from each other, rarely get together, and seldom compile books together.
Even if he compiles a book, he compiles some of his own collections of poems, and compiles translations or essays of some ancient books.
Few of them have participated in such a large-scale book editing work.
In order to compile phonological books, the imperial court has gathered them together and given them many resources to compile books.
Most of them are already immersed in the fun of compiling books, so they are willing to leave.
The "Tiansheng Dictionary" has been compiled and the dictionary is still being compiled.
But the next book they want to compile, they already have eyebrows, and that is Tang History.
They have enough people, many ideas, and many books they want to write.
Therefore, as long as the court did not take the initiative to dismiss them, they would almost never leave.
Zhao Zhen has already felt the benefits of compiling books, knowing that so many Confucian scholars can help Da Song compile many useful books.
So when the great scholars offered to stay, Zhao Zhen had to admit that he was a little tempted.
Zhao Zhen suppressed the throbbing in his heart and said to Kou Ji: "Fourth brother thinks this is a good thing or a bad thing?"
Kou Ji smiled and said: "Naturally it is a good thing, or a great good thing."
Prior to this, the compilation of books in the past dynasties was basically based on historical data, and other books were rarely studied.
So all kinds of books are very messy.
Even in the imperial court scientific textbooks, there are many private goods carried by predecessors.
Therefore, it is necessary for the court to sort out the books of the world.
Re-edit, and strive to eliminate the false and keep the truth.
Just look at the reputation of Ming's "Yongle Dadian" and Qing's "Siku Quanshu" to see how much this move has contributed to the inheritance and development of Han culture.
Zhao Zhen stared at Kou Ji and said, "Fourth brother thinks this is a good thing?"
Kou Ji nodded decisively: "Of course..."
Zhao Zhen pondered: "The fourth brother thinks, how do you respond to the demands of the great Confucians?"
Kou Ji thought about it for a moment and said: "The great Confucians are interested in keeping books, and the officials should naturally provide some convenience. The great Confucian books have already achieved some results, and more and more people will definitely join them in the future. .
The books delivered from Da Shi are also translated in it.
In the future, Ruishengyuan is likely to become a holy place for writing, compiling, and translating books.
Longtu Pavilion under the jurisdiction of the minister may not be as good as Ruishengyuan in the future. "
Zhao Zhen nodded solemnly and said, "I think so too."
Kou Ji continued: "The great Confucians do not seek power or profit, but only seek some fame. Afterwards, when the cultural system is reformed, we can ban the bachelorship of courtiers and transfer them to them.
Bachelor, well-learned person.
It should be granted to those great Confucian scholars, not to officials from North Korea and China.
The position of a bachelor will be a vacant position that demonstrates identity and glory in the future.
Do not mix with others.
Bachelor's degree, only responsible for intensive research.
There is no need to participate in the affairs of the government.
In order to reward them for their contribution to the court, a certain amount of salary can be appropriately distributed to them.
If the children and grandchildren of the family moved to Bianjing, they could also be given a house to live in.
In this way, their worries have been resolved.
In Ruisheng Garden, some changes can be made appropriately.
The Royal Beiyuan, Ruishengyuan, can be completely transformed into a place where books are written, written and translated.
With a royal Beiyuan, in exchange for the world's great scholars to work for the officials, the officials can make a lot of money. "
"Hahaha..."
Zhao Zhen laughed loudly when he heard this.
Whether it is the full implementation of enlightenment, or the transformation of the Royal Beiyuan into a place dedicated to the writing of books by the great Confucians, it is a feat that no one has ever done before.
Now he did it, and he saw the benefits.
How could he be unhappy.
What he wanted all his life was to make the Song Dynasty rise.
Now all aspects of the Great Song Dynasty are rising rapidly.
How could he be unhappy.
"As far as my fourth brother said, I will then pass on the decree to the Ministry of Industry, and let the Ministry of Industry transform the Royal Beiyuan. After the transformation is completed, I will withdraw the eunuchs and Gong'e from the Royal Beiyuan, leaving only some officials and soldiers. ."
"After the renovation of the Royal Beiyuan is completed, it is a place dedicated to writing and compiling books, and it is called Ruishengyuan, which is somewhat inappropriate."
"It's called... Tiansheng Wenguan... How does Brother Si feel?"
"Now it's not far from ten years to Tiansheng, the official family is sure to name it after Tiansheng?"
When Kou Ji asked these words, Zhao Zhen was taken aback for a moment.
According to the rules laid down by Emperor Taizong of the Great Song Dynasty, the use of each reign of the Great Song Dynasty generally does not exceed ten years.
In other words, the year number must be changed every ten years.
Under special circumstances, it can be changed in three to five years.
It depends on the emperor's preferences.
Zhao Zhen sighed: "Unconsciously, have I been on the throne for almost ten years?"
Kou Ji nodded slowly.
Zhao Zhen lowered his head and looked at Kou Ji and said, "You and my monarch and ministers have been hand in hand for almost ten years. I still remember how you were when you first entered the court."
Kou Ji said with emotion: "Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like shuttles."
Zhao Zhen nodded slowly, "Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle... You and my monarchs still have a lot to do, and you can't delay it for a moment. Time is not forgiving."
Kou Ji smiled and said: "We are still young..."
Zhao Zhen stared at Kou Ji and said, "Are we younger than Tiancier?"
The smile on Kou Ji's face slowly froze.
Zhao Zhen sighed and said, "In a few years, you will be in your thirties, Brother 4..."
Kou Ji suddenly didn't want to speak.
For most people with a mature mind, getting older and getting older is definitely a problem they don't want to face.
Kou Ji felt that he had traveled to the Song Dynasty and didn't do much. He was almost thirty, and he was naturally unwilling to face this problem.
But there is no way if you don't face it, time is not forgiving.
Kou Ji smiled stiffly and said, "Officials, what we are talking about now is the issue of reigns."
Zhao Zhen laughed and said, "Fourth brother doesn't seem to like getting old?"
Kou Ji said indifferently: "There are few people who like to grow old."
Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "But no one can escape."
Kou Ji suddenly didn't want to talk.
Seeing this, Zhao Zhen hurriedly changed the subject, "Four brothers, what do you think about the reign title?"
Kou Ji groaned: "The officials may consider using the reign of the Heavenly Sage."
Zhao Zhen was taken aback for a moment, and said solemnly: "The ancestral rules..."
Kou Ji stared at Zhao Zhen and said: "The rules of the ancestors are not set in stone. Many rules set by the Taizu and Taizong dynasties have not changed. When the officialdom was enthroned, it became a bad government.
It took a lot of money for the officials to reform these bad policies.
It can be seen that the rules set by the ancestors may be suitable for the age when the ancestors were alive, but they are not suitable for the present.
So when it's time to change, you must change, and you can't hesitate. "
Zhao Zhen sighed and said: "I am afraid that my rules will become too many, and future generations of children and grandchildren will not abide by the rules, turning many of the good governance that I left behind into evil."
Kou Ji said: "So we have to do something first to distinguish what can be changed from what cannot be changed."
Zhao Zhen said in a dubious voice: "Fourth brother didn't say anything just now. The rules left by our ancestors are suitable for our ancestors or the era, but they are not suitable for the present. The good governance we left behind may not be suitable for the later Song Dynasty.
We have no way to distinguish that part of the rules can be changed, and that part of the rules cannot be changed.
Because no one can tell what the future Song Dynasty will look like. "
Kou Ji fell into contemplation.
Kou Ji didn't know what the future Song Dynasty would look like.
Because the current Da Song is no longer the Da Song he knows well, but a Da Song that has been changed by him.
After the Great Song Dynasty, he will no longer follow history and go on unchanged.
After the Great Song Dynasty, there will be countless variables.
Therefore, what rules the Song Dynasty will abide by in the future will be determined by the emperor based on the actual situation.
But this does not mean that there will be no set rules for future generations to follow.
Some principled issues will never change even after tens of thousands of years.
Such as territorial disputes.
Kou Ji thought about this and said: "The issue of territorial disputes will not change even after tens of thousands of years."
When Zhao Zhen heard this, his face became straight.
"My country of Song Dynasty was returned by soldiers with their lives. They cannot cede or lose half of their points. This problem will indeed not change after tens of thousands of years.
After I have reformed the cultural system, I will set the corresponding ancestor's law to warn future generations. "
Kou Ji nodded and said: "It's best to tell the world so that everyone in the world can remember."
Zhao Zhen stared at Kou Ji and said, "It's like a plaque saying'Harem must not be involved in politics' hanging behind the arched palace."
Kou Ji nodded again.
Zhao Zhen let out a sigh, "After this matter, I will discuss with my fourth brother in detail. My fourth brother will not let me change the year. What can I say and what's the benefit?"
Kou Ji said frankly: "The frequent replacement of the reigns is not a good thing. Regarding the issue of reigns, the people still like to stay the same. This makes it easier for them to remember.
More importantly, if the official family still uses a reign, then Tiansheng means official family, and official family means Tiansheng. "
Zhao Zhen nodded thoughtfully.
"I will discuss this matter with Lu Yijian three people later. If it is appropriate, I will continue to use a year name in the future."
"Hey..."
After discussing the matter, Kou Ji did not stay longer in the palace, so he left the palace.
The day after Kou Ji returned to the Kou Mansion Courtyard, Zhao Zhen sent his plan to transform the Royal Beiyuan to the Ministry of Engineering.
After the Ministry of Engineering got Zhao Zhen's will, he immediately dispatched people to Ruishengyuan to measure Ruishengyuan.
Then, according to the needs of the great Confucian scholars, as well as the needs of book editing and writing, they were dispatched to paint the reconstruction drawings of Ruishengyuan.
After the renovation drawings were released, the most eye-catching feature was a library building covering an area of 1,000 acres in Ruisheng Garden.
The library has three floors, with fire-proof water tanks and water-proof waterways, so the amount of work is huge.
The money needed far exceeds the construction of some large palaces in the imperial palace.
In this regard, Zhao Zhen, Kou Ji, and Nei Ting San Zai, none of them feel distressed.
After reviewing the drawings, Zhao Zhen decisively ordered the construction to start.
A large number of craftsmen, after Zhao Zhen's order, settled in Ruisheng Garden and transformed Ruisheng Garden.
Kou Ji did not pay attention to this matter after the Ruishengyuan renovation project officially started.
His attention was focused on the translation work of Fan Zhongyan and others.
After Fan Zhongyan and others learned the essay on food, they decisively entered the translation work.
After their translation, the book-by-book Chinese food and medicine skills were transformed into Chinese.
In the middle of the journey, the guarantor who was far away in Luzhou sent a letter to Kou Ji, saying that he had basically learned the food, and asked Kou Ji to send him something.
Kou Ji ordered the people to copy a copy of the translated big food books and the original big food books separately, and sent them to Luzhou, where they were handed over to Bao Zheng for proofreading.
See if there is a great source of it.
When translating books, the stumbling and stumbling in the early stage, the later stage went smoothly.
The big cannibal sent a lot of medical books, and it took Kou Ji and others more than half a month to get nearly 60% of the medical books.
The medical books that were finalized were not translated into books, but were kicked out of the list of medical books.
Those books are being eaten up, they are called medical books, but in Kou Ji's eyes, they are not medical books at all.
But some religious books in the shell of medical books.
For example, there are hundreds of books in it, and it is recorded in detail that through some kind of witchcraft, or some kind of ritual, some unknown existence is summoned to help people heal diseases.
This is medical skills
This is pretending to be a fool.
There are also some methods of flogging and self-abuse.
There are also some unimaginable local remedies.
Anyway, there are all kinds of weird cures.
But none of them are true medical techniques for curing diseases.
Kou Ji took the people and spent more than half a month clearing out all this kind of things.
Only the real medical books are left.
Then translate the real medical book.
This translation took several months.
During this period, Kou Ji stayed in Ruishengyuan most of the time.
Occasionally, he would return home or go to court.
Going back to the palace and going to the dynasty, mostly to deal with the important matters of the court.
For example, the big cannibal in Jiaozhi, after being defeated by Kou Ji's strategy, was ready to recruit believers in Jiaozhi as his pawns, requesting to purchase arms from Da Song.
For another example, Jiaozhi asked Kou Ji for the second time to buy the armor of the weapon.
There was also the matter of Zhong Shiheng and Zhu Neng who rushed to Dali and started a war against Da Barber.
