The criminal minister Han Yang stabbed the biggest basket.
In order to complete the recruitment task as soon as possible, the Minister of Justice Han Yang chose to go to the battle in person, and he went to Jiangning Mansion, the richest place in the south of the Yangtze River.
After arriving in Jiangning Mansion, he relied on his identity and very forcefully assigned the amount of recruits to Jiangning Mansion officials.
The officials of Jiangning Mansion were unable to complete the huge amount that Han Yang had confessed to them, so they secretly released the news.
After learning about this, the big wealthy families in Jiangning Mansion decisively quit the market and encouraged tenants and day laborers of various households to block in front of some open shops.
All of a sudden, Jiangning Mansion became a mess.
When Han Yang saw this, he was very angry. He was going to invite the Ministry of War and dispatch local soldiers to come forward to force Jiangning Mansion to open the market.
But before his memorial was sent to the court, he was filed in a life lawsuit.
In an instant, Han Yang became a rat crossing the street in Jiangning Mansion.
More importantly, the wealthy and powerful families of Jiangning Mansion used their power to bring the matter to the court.
The performance of impeaching Han Yang floated into Bianjing like snow flakes.
Lu Yijian had a headache looking at the piles of memorabilia.
Inside the political affairs hall.
Lu Yijian sat in the first place with a sullen face and sighed in a low voice, "Han Yang is a fool. He is recruiting soldiers, not looking for trouble.
Just get people there, and do what to cause so much trouble.
Now there are as many as a hundred officials impeaching him, and I can't suppress it even if I want to. "
Lu Yijian is not a powerful minister, and he does not have the power to be in the hands of the opposition, so there are not many memoirs he can suppress.
It seemed that the prefects and generals of various prefectures and towns and generals had played sloppyly, and he couldn't suppress it.
As for the supervisory messengers of the various provinces, they will never pass the memorials to the political affairs hall.
They will pass the notes directly to Zhao Zhen's desk through special channels.
The supervisory envoy is in the local area, neither in charge of civil affairs, nor in charge of soldiers.
Why should they be on an equal footing with the prefects and generals of the towns
It is because they have the right to report directly to the officials.
After hearing Lu Yijian’s angry voice, Wang Zeng put down the memos he was reading, and said, “Although Han Yang is a bit irritable in his work, he, as the minister of the criminal ministry, must know the laws of the Song Dynasty.
Especially the law involving homicide.
Therefore, he must not hurt people's lives and get himself involved in the lawsuit.
Therefore, the murder case involving Han Yang should have been framed. "
Lu Yijian stared and shouted: "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he was framed. But now that there are all witnesses and evidence, he is blocked by the family of the deceased in the prefectural office, and there is no way to get out.
He didn't even have a chance to find out about it. "
Wang Zeng pondered: "Is there no one under his staff who will investigate the case?"
Lu Yijian's face became even more ugly when she heard this.
"How could he not have anyone who can investigate the case? He sent me a secret letter. In the secret letter, he mentioned that he sent three masters to solve the case, but all of them are missing."
Wang Zeng frowned slowly, "The people under Han Yang's hands are all imperial order officials. If the people of Jiangning Mansion hurt the imperial order officials, it would be too much."
Lu Yijian stared, "People are too much, so what can we do? Now they have gone out of the market, and they have put Han Yang in a life lawsuit, so Han Yang can't move.
Officials of the Jiangning Mansion, large and small, sent a letter to Han Yang and listed twelve charges for Han Yang. "
Wang Zeng sighed and said, "Han Yang is defeated. Even if he can clear his murder case, it is not good for him to stay in Jiangning Mansion."
Speaking of this, Wang Zeng looked at Lu Yijian, and said solemnly: "The rich and powerful Jiangning mansions will stop the market together. In just a few days, there should be nothing, but a long time will inevitably cause public complaints.
Popular grievances are their weapon to force Han Yang back. "
Lu Yijian naturally knew what Wang had said.
He has given up Han Yang and is about to summon Han Yang back to Beijing.
What he was thinking about now was who would let him clean up the mess that Han Yang had made, so that there would be no trouble.
Wang Zeng seemed to see Lu Yijian's thoughts, and said in deep thought, "Let Gong Lu go."
Lu Yijian looked at Wang Zeng suddenly, "San Lang? Can he do it?"
Wang Zeng smiled and said, "You used to praise Gong Lu when you met people, saying that he was the unicorn of your Lu Mansion. Why didn't you believe him when it was time to use him?"
Lu Yijian hesitated for a moment, and said nothing.
He was naturally very satisfied with his son before.
But since Gong Lu went to Liaoyang Mansion and was criticized by Kou Ji for nothing.
He is not so satisfied with his son.
Wang Zeng seemed to be the roundworm in Lu Yijian's belly. He saw Lu Yijian's thoughts again. He smiled and said: "Kou Ji only said that Lu Gongzhu has no people in his heart, but he didn't say that Lu Gongzhu can't do anything."
Speaking of this, Wang Zeng sighed and said: "As long as there are people who are born in a wealthy family, there are not many who have people in their hearts. You don't have to worry too much about this matter.
Lu Gong is a clever boy. When you turn around, you can teach him carefully and let him put the people in his heart. "
After listening to Wang Zeng's words, Lu Yijian thought about it carefully, and finally sighed: "Then let Saburo take a trip..."
Lu Yijian made a decision and immediately sent someone back to the mansion to pass on Lu Gong's work.
After the messenger left, Lu Yijian stared at Wang Zeng with some doubts, "It stands to reason that you are the closest to Kou Ji, you should help Kou Ji.
Why give me advice? "
When Wang heard this, he said, "Public is public, and private is private... The recruitment of soldiers is a public affair ordered by the officials. As a member of the government, I naturally have to share my worries for the officials."
Lu Yijian curled his lips and did not believe Wang Zeng's nonsense.
Wang once knew that Lu Yijian didn't believe it, but he didn't give too much explanation.
He helped Lu Yijian to avoid Kou Ji's premature leadership.
Kou Ji's style of work is completely different from Lu Yijian.
Just talk about the Jiangning Mansion this time.
After Han Yang got into trouble, Lu Yijian first thought of substitution.
If it was Kou Ji, there would be no substitutions at all.
He would only pass a light paper to the Ministry of War.
Then the soldiers and horses around Jiangning Mansion will be able to drain the water around Jiangning Mansion overnight.
Kou Ji would not reason with the big family of Jiangning Mansion, nor would he accept the difficulties of the big family of Jiangning Mansion.
Obedient, just follow the instructions of the court.
If you don't obey, then wait to be beaten.
Just when Lu Yijian was troubled by this matter.
In the bamboo courtyard.
Kou Ji was standing in the study, writing, Zhao Run carefully stood by to help sharpen the ink, while grinding the ink, while whispering to Kou Ji.
"Sir, my father said that Lu Yijian sent Han Yang to Jiangning Mansion to recruit soldiers. After Han Yang arrived in Jiangning Mansion, he not only failed to recruit soldiers, but also got into trouble.
Now all the big wealthy families in Jiangning Mansion are on strike, and Han Yang has also filed a life lawsuit. "
Kou Ji paused with his writing hand, raised his head, looked at Zhao Run, and asked in astonishment: "Han Yang won't go to Jiangning Mansion and directly order the recruitment of soldiers, right?"
Zhao Run nodded solemnly and said, "Mr. is really good, so he will get it right."
Kou Ji curled his lips, "It's really a naive person, and it's so rough. Remember, when you use people in the future, don't use this kind of person to preside over the civil affairs. It's great to put him in the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and the Ministry of Industry. .
What the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and the Ministry of Engineering need most is this kind of dare to think, dare to work, and act vigorously. "
"The student noted..."
Hearing that Kou Ji was teaching his own way of employing people, Zhao Run immediately concentrated his attention.
Only when he wanted to hear Kou Ji continue to teach the way of employing people, he found that Kou Ji had set his sights on the paper again, and his heart lost a lot in an instant.
Kou Ji looked at the flat paper on the table with a big ink dot, and exclaimed, "It's ruined... It should work, right?"
When Zhao Run heard this, he immediately adjusted his mood and said with a smile: "Of course it works, you can imitate Kou Gong's handwriting, there is almost no difference.
I quietly sold it, and no one found it to be a fake.
What those people wanted was the original Kou Gong's work, whether it was broken or not, they didn't care. "
Kou Ji nodded, put down his pen, and exhorted: "Sell quietly, don't let outsiders know. If outsiders know, then my face will be lost.
If I am embarrassed, you kid just wait to get beaten. "
Zhao Run smiled brilliantly: "Sir, don't worry. No one will find out."
Kou Ji said with emotion: "My dignified little Kou Gong, actually selling fake characters for a living, really shouldn't."
The smile on Zhao Run's face froze, and he kept muttering in his heart.
Sir! That's not what you said when you were old friends.
Kou Ji saw that Zhao Run's expression was wrong, and raised his brows and asked, "What is your look?"
Zhao Run dryly laughed and said, "Sir, you can write a few more pictures while Rehujin hasn't passed, so we can sell it. When Rehujin passes, I'm afraid it won't be able to sell."
Kou Ji glanced at Zhao Run, changed a piece of paper, and started writing again.
Money, Kou Ji doesn't care anymore.
But when the money was delivered to the door, Kou Ji had no reason not to accept it.
Since Kou Zhun stayed at the Wenchang Academy and left Bianjing City, Kou Zhun's value has skyrocketed.
Folk fakes are endless.
Some imitated characters were sold at a very high price.
The fake ones can be sold at high prices.
The price is naturally higher.
But Kou Zhun had left Beijing. Most of his paintings and calligraphy were either collected by the palace or collected by the Wenchang Academy, and he took away the rest.
The collections in the palace and Wenchang Academy are naturally impossible to sell.
Therefore, Kou Zhun's original work became a strange thing in an instant.
After learning about this, Zhao Run decisively found Kou Ji and asked Kou Ji for the authenticity of Kou Zhun.
Kou Ji has the original Kou Zhun, but they are all his treasures, it is impossible to sell them.
So I just handwritten a picture to Zhao Run.
Although Zhao Run is young, he is still very good at identifying calligraphy and painting skills.
After all, the old Zhao family started from Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi to pay close attention to the education of the royal family.
Therefore, the humanities of the old Zhao family are not low.
As the eldest son of Zhao Run, many people have high hopes, and his literary attainments are naturally not low.
After identifying Kou Ji's handwritten characters, Zhao Run felt that Kou Ji's characters were enough to be fake, so he boldly sold them.
Then sold a full 20,000.
He himself took three thousand as a commission, and gave the rest to Kou Ji.
After Kou Ji saw the money, he never refused Zhao Run's request for words.
Anyway, idle is idle.
It is better to be deceived by him instead of letting those fools be deceived by others.
He has a conscience better than other liars.
Although he didn't give those wrongdoers Kou Zhun's words, he gave him his own words.
Although his Xiao Kou Gong's words are not as valuable as Kou Gong's words.
But he is also a celebrity, his words are worth a few dollars.
It can be considered worthy of the huge sums of money given by those wronged.
Kou Ji was writing with his head down, but Zhao Run was thinking about it.
Zhao Run thought for a long time, and whispered: "Mr., the student has a question in his heart, I wonder if Mr. can help the student?"
Kou Ji said without looking up, "Say..."
Zhao Run hurriedly said: "If you face the current dilemma of Jiangning Mansion, how will you solve it?"
Kou Ji wrote and said calmly: "Simple... Since the big wealthy families in Jiangning are unwilling to make money, let them completely stop making money.
They like to go on strike, and the court simply sealed the market.
Then the court sent people over, occupied the market, and made money they didn't want to make. "
Zhao Run was taken aback for a moment, and said in amazement: "It can still be like this? But if you do this, there will definitely be pedantic people in the court who say something not to compete with the people."
Kou Ji said disdainfully: "It's just that the court doesn't compete with the people for profit, which makes the big players cheaper."
Zhao Run pondered: "But if the court is fighting for the benefits of the people, where will the benefits of the people come from?"
Kou Ji raised his head unexpectedly, staring at Zhao Run and said, "You can actually think of this?"
Zhao Run couldn't laugh or cry: "It's not that students don't understand anything..."
Kou Ji put down the pen and said with a smile: "Since you have asked here, then I will explain it to you. In the eyes of officials, the court does not compete with the people for profit, but refers to all the people in the world.
But in the eyes of hundreds of officials, the imperial court does not compete with the people for profit, but refers to the wealthy.
Because most of the business people in the world are rich and powerful.
A small family, even if they are doing business, they can't do big business.
At most, it is to set up a stall, or carry a burden to sell it everywhere.
Even if the court competed with them for profit, they could not win much money.
Really profitable transactions are held in the hands of the rich and powerful.
But in the court, 90% of officials' homes are rich and powerful.
Less than 10% of officials came from poor families.
Therefore, there is a big difference between officials and hundreds of officials who do not compete with the people for profit.
The reason why the hundreds of officials insisted on not competing for profit with the people was to protect the interests of the rich and powerful behind them. "
Zhao Run stared at Kou Ji in a daze, "That is to say, the so-called not competing for profit with the people, it is the officials who came out to protect their own interests."
Kou Jishi smiled and said: "Otherwise? Why are the officials who can't wait to lie on the people and smash the bones and suck the bones on the people on weekdays to defend the people in this matter
If they really have the people in their minds, why do they still lie on the people and suck their bones? "
Zhao Run was a little confused, because he had never considered from this perspective the fact that hundreds of officials tried their best to defend against the people's interests.
"My Dasong officials... are they so unbearable?"
Zhao Run asked ignorantly.
Kou Ji smiled and said: "It's better now. After the officials became the throne, they killed a lot of them and sent people to stare at them, so there were fewer corrupt officials."
Zhao Run looked at Kou Ji and said, "So... When my grandfather was in power, there were a lot of corrupt officials?"
Koj laughed, "You said this, but I didn't say it."
Zhao Run gave a wry smile.
Kou Ji continued with a smile: "So the nonsense of not competing with the people for profit doesn't work for me. Some pedantic people want to make trouble, then let him go."
Zhao Run smiled bitterly and said: "But it's always bad to make trouble... I heard my father say that similar things make trouble every time."
Kou Ji smiled and said: "So the court can dominate this matter secretly, but it is not necessary to do it in the name of the court with great fanfare.
When each family left the Song Dynasty, they all left a lot of experts in the business field.
It was just right to let them come forward. "
Zhao Run naturally knew who Kou Ji's households were.
Zhao Run pondered and said, "What if the local people don't let them do business."
Kou Ji hesitated and said, "There are two solutions..."
"The two methods?"
Zhao Run asked.
Kou Ji said frankly: "Let the people who go to Jiangning Mansion to recruit troops to withdraw from Jiangning Mansion, and then find someone to report that there are big profiteers in Jiangning Mansion. Then the court sends people to investigate, every day.
If they are happy, let them continue to do business.
They can encourage the people to resist the recruitment of soldiers, but they cannot encourage the people to resist the court to investigate profiteers. "
The Song Dynasty is a very bad era, but it is also a very beautiful era.
Song people do business differently from later generations.
Song people emphasize integrity in business.
Once the sign is erected, it will have to win word of mouth.
If you do bad things secretly, if no one catches them, nothing will happen.
But once it was caught, it was exposed.
That immediately will be abandoned by all the guests.
The folks don't have much culture, so they can only protect themselves from being deceived by admitting death.
Everyone says hello, and the government also says hello, then the people will believe you.
Everyone says you have a problem, and the government also says you have a problem, then the people will not believe you.
Therefore, if the court investigates profiteers, the people will definitely not follow suit.
Instead, he would applaud the court's actions.
As long as the court investigates profiteers, as long as it neglects private necessities such as grain shops and cloth shops, it will hardly affect the people.
But those rich and powerful will be tossed to death.
Therefore, this move is definitely one of the magic methods to force those rich and powerful to be soft.
After hearing Kou Ji's words, Zhao Run asked with bright eyes, "What else?"
Kou Ji smiled and said, "Find a group of people, pretend to be gangsters, and make a noise in Jiangning Mansion. Then he sent soldiers and horses to block Jiangning Mansion.
Once Jiangning Mansion is sealed off, some of it is the court that has the final say. "
Zhao Run froze for a moment, and said with a little disappointment: "I thought it was a better way than the first method, but I didn't expect it to be mobilization. It is not a good way to mobilize troops. It will hurt many innocent people."
Kou Ji said frankly: "Moving troops is the quickest way. It is also a way to endure the trouble from the root. There is no government affairs that cannot be solved by soldiers. If there is, it means that you don't have enough soldiers and horses."
Zhao Run looked at Kou Ji in amazement.
Obviously, Kou Ji's remarks caused a big impact on him.
Kou Ji looked at Zhao Run's small face and continued: "I personally prefer the second method... because I really don't have much time to fight against those big-timers."
Zhao Run frowned and asked, "Is there no such thing as a solution that doesn't use troops or time-consuming?"
Kou Ji smiled and said: "No... if you don't move troops, then it will only take time. But we don't need to waste time ourselves. We only need to choose the right person and leave things to them.
When the time comes, it will be their time, not ours.
We have a large number of people under our hands, so there is no need to do everything by ourselves.
Just like your father, he only needs to choose three prime ministers, three princes, six Shangshu, and leave everything to these twelve people to do. "
Zhao Run thought and nodded.
Kou Ji didn't want to discuss this issue with Zhao Run anymore, so he collected the paper on the desk and threw it to Zhao Run, and said with a smile: "Okay, these issues are not something you should consider now. Go ahead and make money."
Zhao Run realized that Kou Ji was unwilling to have a deep chat with him, so he got the word, nodded, and left the study.
After Zhao Run left, Kou Ji smiled and shook his head, "I don't know who Lu Yijian will send to clean up Han Yang's mess. It's better to send a better person.
Otherwise, things in Jiangning Mansion will probably get worse.
Lu Yijian, you are also a well-known figure in history anyway, so you have to give it some help.
If you do more, I will be relieved a lot. "
Lu Yijian is now Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen's pawn and vanguard.
The faster he rushes, the harder he hits.
Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen felt more relieved.
Lu Yijian also knew that he had become a pawn and vanguard.
When he decided to take over the recruiting job from Zhao Zhen, he knew that he had become a pawn and vanguard.
Although Lu Yijian did not know what Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji were going to do.
But the recruitment must be related to what Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen have to do.
Lu Yijian is now rushing to do things in front of Kou Ji, isn't he just a pawn
Lu Yijian was actually willing to be a pawn.
Because he was greedy for power, he was unwilling to give up his position as Ping Zhangshi under the school of Tongzhong, and he was unwilling to give way to Kou Ji.
So he must act as a pawn and do what Kou Ji has to do.
Lu Yijian didn't think it was a stupid thing to be a pawn.
As a pawn, if he can get through the customs all the way.
Then he is no longer a pawn.
It is the great hero who is in the first place.
As long as he can pass the level, Kou Ji will not want to take the position of Pingzhangshi from Tongzhong Shumen.
In order to be able to clear the customs.
When Lu Gongzhu left Beijing to replace Han Yang, Lu Yijian specially called Lu Gongzhu into his room and told him all night.
After Lu Gongzhu digested the experience in handling matters taught by Lu Yijian, he rushed to Jiangning Mansion with some domestic servants.
When Lu Gongzhu left Beijing, Zhao Run specially ran to Kou's Mansion and told Kou Ji about the matter.
Kou Ji did not have time to pay attention to this matter.
