"endless?"
Zhao Zhen looked stunned.
Kou Ji nodded slowly, "There is no end to the human heart, so there is no end to what we have to do."
Zhao Zhen frowned.
Seeing this, Kou Ji smiled and said: "We don't need to explore the end. We just need to do what we want to do our best within our ability.
After all, the human heart has no end, but the manpower is poor.
Officials don't have to worry about this, and they shouldn't bother themselves. "
Zhao Zhen was taken aback, and laughed: "It's because I think too much..."
Kou Ji smiled and nodded.
Zhao Zhen asked: "How is the inventory of Daxiangguo Temple?"
Kou Ji smiled and said: "All the money in the Daxiangguo Temple has been confiscated, and all the evil monks in it have been imprisoned. Now there are only some innocent monks guarding the Daxiangguo Temple.
Those wicked monks, officials have already handed over to Kaifeng Mansion to investigate.
After the investigation is clear, the Kaifeng Mansion will convict them based on the crimes they committed. "
Zhao Zhen pondered and said: "Daxiangguo Temple is a national temple. Even so, other temples are probably even more unbearable."
Speaking of this, Zhao Zhen stared at Kou Ji, sighed and said: "Father shouldn't be a Taoist official. If I don't have a Taoist official, the temple won't accumulate wealth."
Kou Ji heard this, slightly lost.
What is Zhao Zhen talking about
He is accusing and criticizing him.
If this word spreads out, the Manchu civil and military will not catch him and spray him to death.
Zhao Heng is indeed unbearable, and now people up and down the Song Dynasty can feel it.
But no one would say, no one dared to say.
Zhao Zhen shouldn't even say.
Even if Zhao Zhen complained about Zhao Heng's actions as a Taoist official because some monks in Daxiangguo Temple had done a lot of evil, he shouldn't say it.
In this age of filial piety, filial piety is a very big stain, and it can't be removed no matter how you wash it.
Take Tang Taizong Li Shimin.
Even though Li Shimin tried his best to rule, he turned himself into an emperor through the ages.
He couldn't change his reputation for killing brothers and persecuting his father.
Once Zhao Zhen criticized Zhao Heng's words, even if he was to make himself an emperor who had the merits of three emperors and five emperors, the historians of later generations would truthfully write his unfilial actions in the history books.
Kou Ji felt that Zhao Zhen was probably extremely disappointed in his Lao Tzu now, otherwise it would be impossible to speak against him.
But disappointment is disappointment, there is no need to make trouble for yourself just for a quick mouthful.
Kou Ji groaned for a moment, and coughed dryly, "Officials, this matter is not the fault of the first emperor. Even if the first emperor does not close the officials, the temples under the world can still make a fortune.
The reason why temples can easily accumulate money is the fruit of the world's ignorance.
The world is ignorant and does not know how the world changes.
Everything that happens between heaven and earth is based on ghosts and gods.
Temples came into being.
In order to avoid ghosts, they willingly donated their money to the temple.
Enshrine those illusory ghosts and gods.
Naturally, temples can easily make a fortune.
So, in the final analysis, the key to the problem lies in enlightenment.
As long as we attach importance to enlightenment and promote enlightenment.
Let the world understand that the change of heaven and earth is a natural change, not by ghosts and gods, and they will naturally no longer believe in ghosts and gods. "
After hearing Kou Ji's words, Zhao Zhen thoughtfully, "After all, is it enlightenment?"
Kou Ji nodded slowly.
Zhao Zhen pondered and said: "We had discussed before that after the implementation of Mongolian education, we will implement county education. Now that Mongolian education is on the right track, can we implement county education?"
Kou Ji didn't answer Zhao Zhen's question, but instead asked: "What about a higher education institution?"
Zhao Zhen was taken aback, and said: "The imperial court has Guozijian and Taixue..."
Kou Ji continued to ask: "Are the things of the Imperial College and Professor Taixue really useful to the court?"
Zhao Zhen opened his mouth, speechless.
Before Kou Ji appeared, the things of Guozijian and Taixue professors were the foundation of being an official.
After Kou Ji appeared, under the influence of Kou Ji.
Zhao Zhen found out that what the Imperial College and Taixue taught were only knowledge, not the way of being an official.
The way to be an official is how to lead the people to get rich and how to lead the people to live and work in peace and contentment.
Rather than holding a volume of books, it's the same.
Seeing that Zhao Zhen was silent, Kou Ji said frankly: "The things taught in the Imperial College and Taixue are only to let the scholars know how to do learning. But they didn't teach them how to be an official.
The imperial court opened bureaus to obtain official positions.
Most of the jinshi who were selected were assigned to the local government as officials of herdsmen.
Although the court will give them enough time to observe politics.
But when they got to the place and learned about the local situation, more of them were blind.
They are the most basic officials, and they are blind. How can the people under their control be good? "
Zhao Zhen pondered and said, "What does the fourth brother mean?"
Kou Ji sternly said: "The most critical issue is the official system. After the imperial court opens the official bureau and obtains official positions, after the scholars who have been taken are transferred to the local government, they should not directly serve as the chief official.
They should be allowed to serve as assistant officials and learn how to herders first.
After they have learned it, they will naturally be able to get twice the result with half the effort.
In addition, the official system of the imperial court was mixed.
The functions of the local yamen are also very mixed, and it is impossible to effectively manage the locality.
Once a major event happens, all the yamen within the jurisdiction can manage, and they can also shirk their left and right sides.
In this way, it will be passive. "
Zhao Zhen glanced at Kou Ji and said, "We are talking about county schools now."
Kou Ji groaned: "This is precisely the key to the promotion of county schools. The functions of local officials are not clear, and the jurisdiction of the place is not clear. Some students at the junction of the two counties are likely to be rejected.
In addition, once county schools are promoted, higher-level institutions will have to keep up.
The imperial court is now vigorously promoting enlightenment.
Scholars will grow at a rate visible to the naked eye.
At that time, it would be impossible to accommodate the Imperial College and Taixue alone.
But in the Great Song Dynasty, there are roads, prefectures, prefectures, and county government offices. The functions of some roads, prefectures, and county government offices conflict with each other.
Once promoted to higher-level institutions.
Whoever manages it will become a ridiculous thing.
In addition, it is impossible for the imperial court to train all so many scholars to become Jinshi.
Therefore, the court should find ways to teach students in accordance with their aptitude after the scholars arrive at the county school.
For example, someone who knows the imperial examination is hopeless, but is not willing to give up studying.
You can train them to become gentlemen.
After they have completed their studies, they can be assigned to the local government as gentlemen.
For example, some people with other talents, such as solving crimes, medicine, etc., can train them to learn how to solve crimes and learn medical skills.
After they leave the county school, they can enter all levels of yamen and become the catchers in the yamen and doctors of the Huimin Pharmacy.
If the jurisdiction of each place is not clear, there will definitely be problems when assigning them to the place.
In addition to cultivating Jinshi, higher-level institutions can focus on cultivating scholars who can solve crimes and study medicine.
After they have completed their studies, officials can also assign them to various yamen and Huimin pharmacies to hold more important positions. "
What Kou Ji proposed is a relatively complete education system.
Zhao Zhen also knows the benefits.
Because Kou Ji told him before.
For example, scholars who learn to solve crimes can enter the local government to serve as catchers after leaving the school.
When the time comes, a little focus on poor students will be able to break the monopoly of local tycoons on errands such as fast-tracking in yamen.
For example, scholars who study medical skills can enter the Huimin Pharmacy opened by the imperial court after they come out, where they can sit in for consultations or open a pharmacy by themselves.
When the number of them exceeds a certain number, the imperial court will issue some documents for practicing medicine.
Then use the medical practice documents to restrain the folk folk physicians from practicing medicine.
In this way, some of the truly talented ones will be absorbed into the academic libraries in various places, and those cancerous tumors that are indiscriminate and careless of human life will be eliminated.
All in all, the three-level institution system proposed by Kou Ji has many benefits.
It is also an important part of their cultural reform.
Zhao Zhen was anxious to promote county school because he knew the benefits.
It's just that the county school is implemented, and a certain amount of soil is needed.
Now that everything is unprepared, it is really not feasible to rashly implement county school.
"Then wait, wait until the Taoist official's affairs are dealt with, then the official system will be implemented, and then the county school will be implemented."
Zhao Zhen said solemnly.
Kou Jishi smiled and said, "Isn't this what we said a long time ago?"
Zhao Zhen was taken aback for a moment, and sighed: "I was a little impatient because I watched Da Song still full of holes."
Kou Ji thought about it, and said, "The officials can relax appropriately."
Zhao Zhen pondered and said, "Also... Just as the Mongolian School in the palace is ready, I will relax for a few days and talk to the children about articles."
Kou Ji nodded slowly.
Zhao Zhen continued, "Remember to send you a pair of children into the palace tomorrow morning."
Kou Ji's face changed in an instant.
"Is it OK to send only the son, not the girl."
Kou Ji consulted and asked.
Zhao Zhen said with a black face: "Since you are unwilling to marry a girl to my emperor, I will not force it. What is the identity of my son? If I move my mouth casually, the officials from the ruling and the opposition will take the initiative to send a girl of the right age to the house. He was sent to the palace."
Speaking of this, Zhao Zhen glanced at Kou Ji contemptuously, "Do you really think that my son will not be able to take a wife without your rules?!"
Koti smiled dryly.
Zhao Zhen snorted: "I said before that you will let your children go to the palace to study. I can't take it back when I say something. It's nothing more than an extra desk and chair."
Kou Ji said with emotion: "The officials say so, I am relieved."
"..."
"Tomorrow! Remember!"
When Kou Ji left Jin Mingchi, Zhao Zhen also specially exhorted him.
Kou Ji agreed.
After Kou Ji left, a smile appeared on Zhao Zhen's face, and he whispered in a low voice: "If you don't let your girl marry into the palace, I just want her to marry into the palace.
You do not nod, and I do not force it.
But when your girl enters the palace and studies with my emperor, that will be your childhood sweetheart and Liang Xiaowu guess.
When they got older, they became emotional.
When the time comes, your girl will marry my emperor.
Then I will see what you say. "
When he muttered to this point, the smile on Zhao Zhen's face became thicker, "When the time comes, I will be behind you, and you can't force your girl to marry someone..."
"..."
Zhao Zhen smiled triumphantly in Jin Mingchi.
Kou Ji spit on the outside of Jin Ming Chi.
"Calling my fourth brother repeatedly, he actually calculated me behind my back... My conscience is broken..."
Zhao Zhen watched Kou Ji grow up, and half of his scheming was also Kou Ji's scheming.
When Zhao Zhen spoke, Kou Ji knew exactly what calculations were behind him.
Zhao Zhen righteously said something Ling Ran did not force it.
Kou Ji didn't believe a word.
When Kou Tianci entered the palace to study, the name was right, because he and Princess Baoqing had a marriage contract, so he was the son-in-law of Zhao Zhen, and he was a royal.
Where is Kou Hui
She has nothing to do with the royal half-money, and she is not qualified to enter the palace to study.
Zhao Zhen made an exception to let Kou Hui enter the palace to study.
I just want to take this to tell the Manchu civil and martial arts again that the girl who has entered the royal gate is a royal person. Don't worry about it.
Then after Kou Hui and Zhao Run were older, Zhao Run was encouraged to chase Kou Hui.
If Zhao Run won Kou Hui's heart, and with Zhao Zhen's protection, Kou Ji could not forcefully prevent the two from being together.
Although Kou Ji saw through Zhao Zhen's thoughts, he didn't say anything.
Zhao Zhen was obviously not guilty of thief, he couldn't prevent it, so he could only use a small plan to break Zhao Zhen's conspiracy.
Kou Ji returned to the mansion and immediately found Xiang Yan.
"By the beginning of the spring next year, when the girl is four years old, she will find someone to teach her to practice fist."
Xiang Yan was stunned when she heard Kou Ji's words.
Kou Ji didn't explain much, but said decisively: "Just do as I told you."
Xiang Yan nodded first, thought about it for a moment, and looked at Kou Ji and said, "The official is still a thief?"
Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said, "Otherwise?"
Xiang Yan hesitated: "You let your girl go to martial arts, will it be too cruel for Zhao Run? Cao Mansion has a good relationship with our Kou Mansion, and our two families have no grudges.
When the concubine entered the palace, Empress Cao also took care of her concubine in every possible way..."
I snorted in the Qi Season: "The official is an official, Cao Jia is Cao Jia, Zhao Run is Zhao Yun. Zhao Run thought about my wife, I asked him to resist the anti-anti-anti-fight.
If he was beaten up by my daughter from a young age, he would still say something he liked when he saw my daughter.
I also recognized this marriage. "
Xiang Yan smiled bitterly and said in a deep voice, "How can you be sure that after your daughters practice martial arts, they will definitely be able to beat Zhao Run? What if the officials also let Zhao Run practice martial arts?"
Kou Ji sneered: "The officials learned martial arts themselves, and he knew how much they had suffered. Even if he wanted to let Zhao Run practice martial arts, he would have to wait for Zhao Run to become a little older.
My daughter took the lead in martial arts, and it was easy to have Zhao Run given by various famous teachers. "
Xiang Yan sighed, "You are not afraid that the girl's shot is not serious and hurts Zhao Run. Will the official blame it?"
Kou Ji curled his lips and said, "He asked for it."
Xiang Yan sighed: "If the official family only has Zhao Run as the prince, then you still have to tell the girl to do something lightly. In case something is wrong, the official family and the Manchu civil and military will not let you go."
Kou Ji waved his hand and said, "That's what's going to happen again... Besides, if the official is really a prince, Zhao Run will not send ten or eight eunuchs around Zhao Run to follow.
You don’t know the virtues of the eunuchs in the palace, especially those under Chen Lin.
It is almost impossible for the girl to seriously hurt Zhao Run under their hands. "
When Xiang Yan heard this, she relaxed.
"That's good… "
Kou Ji then accompanied Xiang Yan to talk some gossip, then ate something, took a walk, and it was late.
The two went back to their room to sleep.
The next day.
After Kou Ji got up, he ordered the people in the mansion to send Kou Tianci and Kou Hui into the palace, and he went to the Privy Council in a carriage.
The temples in Bianjing are not limited to Daxiangguo Temple.
There are also many temples such as Tianqing Temple and Wuyue Temple.
Among them, the scale of Tianqing Temple is comparable to that of Daxiangguo Temple.
Although it is not as famous as Daxiangguo Temple, there are also many pilgrims, and they also put money in stamps.
The Temple of Five Mountains is a special Taoist Temple.
It is mainly used to worship the Five Sacred Mountains.
It does not belong to the royal temple, but it belongs to the temple in the court ritual system.
It is the people in the palace who manage the view of the Five Mountains.
There are almost no monks inside.
Even if there is, they are from the palace.
So there is no need to check the Five Sacred Mountains.
But other temples are hardly immune.
Yesterday, the Daxiangguo Temple was raided, and the trouble was so big that most of the temples had already heard the news.
Therefore, the monks in some temples packed up some gold and silver, and escaped from Bianjing City yesterday before night fell.
But he didn't flee much, he was escorted back to Bianjing by the soldiers who were guarding the roads outside Bianjing and interrogating them.
Kou Ji ordered the soldiers to send them back to the temple, and by the way, they checked the temple where they were.
It took three full days to investigate and deal with all the temples in Bianjing.
Among the many temples in Bianjing, only a small Taoist temple inside the city, and a small Taoist temple and temple outside the city are clean.
The rest is almost unclean, everything is done.
Some secretly give off children, some print money, some traffickers, some are engaged in skin and meat business, some are cheating, and some are the footholds of green trees and grasses, and some are lairs of hustle and bustle.
The sum of money, property, real estate, shops, etc. investigated and dealt with is not small.
It took three days, and two of them were to count their assets.
It's not that they have more assets than Daxiangguo Temple.
It is mainly messy and chaotic, and there are also some lawsuits that need to be checked with the Criminal Ministry and Kaifeng Prefecture.
After Kou Ji cleared up some of the handicap, he played as many as possible to the court.
The officials were amazed after learning that the temple industry was rich and valuable, and even some rare treasures were hidden in the temple.
After Zhang Zhibai said his resignation in the court, he was going to set up a temple to be the head of the irony.
After Kou Ji reported some of them to the court, the investigation and punishment of the temple in Bianjing also came to an end.
All that is left is for the Sang Lu Si to re-check the monks in the temple and issue them a reward.
Kou Ji was not involved in this matter.
What is his identity
Secret Envoy of the Great Song Dynasty.
He took the initiative to check the temples in Bianjing City because the backstages of the temples in Bianjing City were relatively hard and needed a harder person to come forward.
Some trivial matters, naturally, he does not need to take action.
Otherwise, his privy envoy would drop the price.
After the monks and monks in Bianjing were registered by the monks, the Taoist officials and his like disappeared cleanly, and the demons and ghosts hidden among the monks also disappeared.
Everything in the city of Bianjing was restored as before.
It seems that nothing happened.
But outside Bianjing, various storms are emerging in endlessly.
Although the same method of using heavy forces to suppress the territory and thunder sweeping the hole, the investigation of the temples in the local area is far less smooth than that of Bianjing.
The first problem was in Xiangfu County under the rule of Kaifeng Prefecture.
There is a big Buddhist temple in Xiangfu County, which enshrines a Buddha that is eight feet tall.
(In ancient times, many temples were called Dafo Temple, and the Buddha was worshipped in them.)
The old mother of the county magistrate is the most devout pilgrim at the Big Buddha Temple.
When the lieutenant of Xiangfu County led his soldiers and horses to encircle the Great Buddha Temple, he happened to be bumped into by the magistrate's mother.
The magistrate's mother blocked the county lieutenant and the county soldiers led by the county lieutenant.
During this period, someone sent someone to notify the county magistrate.
When the magistrate arrived, he confronted the county lieutenant.
In the end, the county captain's uniform was soft, and he led his soldiers and horses back to the stationed place.
Then, the monks in the Great Buddha Temple ran away overnight.
Before leaving, not only took away the gold and silver from the temple, but also burned the crops that the tenants were about to harvest.
After the magistrate learned of this, he realized that he had made a mistake.
But he did not plead guilty.
It was Dayin of Gaoxuan County, who took his wife, children, mother, gold and silver, and three or five cronies back home.
After the incident was reported to the court.
Many people praise his filial piety.
Kou Ji was angry.
Hanging on the arch hall.
When the hundreds of officials praised the prefect of Xiangfu County, Kou Ji came out of work and played loudly and loudly: "Please cut down Yan Renyi, the prefect of Xiangfu County."
The officials were in an uproar upon hearing this.
Someone immediately questioned: "Kou Shu Mi, Yan Renyi, the magistrate of Xiangfu County, resigned as his mother. He is a pure filial person and should be praised."
Many of the hundred officials nodded in agreement.
Even Lu Yijian nodded slightly.
Seeing this, Kou Ji said unceremoniously: "Where is filial piety? What is filial piety when an acquaintance is wrong without correcting it? I have a clear text that parents commit crimes, and children correct and commit crimes. It is filial piety.
Parents who committed crimes, who knew nothing about it, were not filial.
There is excuse for the concealment of the relatives.
Foolish and filial accomplices are unforgivable. "
The hundreds of officials frowned upon hearing the words.
Kou Ji continued: "He protects the monks in the Great Buddha Temple, and I can treat him as a maternal fate. But after he committed the murders at the Great Buddha Temple, he hung his seal and left, and ignored the poor people, so I couldn't tolerate him. .
He hung the seal and left, but it was free and easy.
But those poor people lost the harvest in the fields and lost their livelihoods for a year.
When the time comes to sell children and women, gnaw tree bark, and eat Guanyin soil, who cares? "
Speaking of this, Kou Ji's voice was raised a little bit higher, "He is the imperial order officer, and he eats a generous salary allotted by the imperial court. When he resigned and returned to his hometown, the soft gold and silver he took back was also given by the imperial court.
The court raised him to help the court herdsmen.
Now he took the royal salary, but he ignored the lives and deaths of the people.
He should kill.
After he made a mistake, he didn't think of a way to correct it, and instead of telling the court about the matter, he left with the seal.
It should be killed even more.
Does he think the status of the imperial order officer is a trifling matter
Or do you think it's trifling to rule the lives of the people
If everyone in my Song Dynasty follows suit, how can this country be governed
Not only should this person be killed, all the honors the court bestowed on his ancestors should also be taken back. "
