Kou Ji watched Zhao Run's tears accusing Empress Cao's evil deeds, and knew that Empress Cao did a little too much this time.
Not a single copper plate was left for Zhao Run, so it's strange that Zhao Run didn't cry.
If it was him, he might cry worse than Zhao Run.
It's a pity that he will never find the parents of later generations.
There is no mother in this world.
Father don't care about him. It's not bad to be able to stand up straight in front of him and speak boldly.
"You are a big kid too, so you should have some spare money."
Zhao Run is not too old now, and in later generations, he is still a child who is still studying, and his parents are pampered.
But in the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Run was already qualified to deal with some things alone.
That being the case, Empress Cao shouldn't have searched Zhao Run too cleanly.
At any rate, he was also the eldest prince. He went out to have a drink with people, go to the garden, and when others waved, when the gold and silver entered the rain, he waved his hand, and his sleeves were breeze. It was too ugly.
Kou Ji, who caused Zhao Run’s tragedy today, did not feel ashamed after doing evil, but said with pity to Zhao Run: "It’s just a little money, it’s not a big deal. There is a saying that the daughter can go back and come back when the money is gone. earn."
Zhao Run raised his head, staring at Kou Ji sadly, and asked, "Do you think it's still useful for me to make money now? If I earn it, I'll be paid, and if I earn it, I'll be paid, then what else do I earn."
Kou Ji saw that Zhao Run's eyes were a little red, and he knew he was really sad.
Although Zhao Run is young, he is not a person who likes to cry.
Since the experience of Liao Di, he has been quite prudent.
I made mistakes in the palace on weekdays, and when I was hit by the eunuchs, I didn't say a word.
Now his eyes are red.
It can be seen that Empress Cao’s extermination law hurt him a lot.
In order to comfort him, Kou Ji smiled and said, "You can temporarily store your money with me. Come and get it when you need it.
No matter how fierce your mother is, it's impossible to come to my house to get money, right
If she really did this, then I would have to go to the palace and ask your father to see if the Pingzhang matter under my fellow scholars counts. "
Zhao Run said in disbelief: "Really...really..."
Kou Jishi smiled and said: "You go out to inquire, and see who has the guts to move things from under my hands."
Zhao Run hesitated: "Then you... will you be greedy for my money?"
Kou Ji's face turned black in an instant.
"roll!"
"Get out of the way, you write a word for me first."
While touching his nose, Zhao Run straightened up straight, took out a short book from his cuff, and handed it to Kou Ji, "The words you write casually are no longer worthwhile. Now you have to write according to others' requirements. "
Seeing this, Kou Ji stared angrily, "I dignified the same thing as the middle school, and writing a word can be worth a million dollars. When will it be acceptable for others to pick and choose."
Zhao Run pursed his lips and said: "The more valuable words are sold for more than 200 pairs in a month, and they are worthless."
Kou Ji hated that iron is not made of steel and cursed: "Don't you know that things are rare and expensive?"
Zhao Run rolled his eyes and said: "I also want to wait until they are valuable before they are sold, but those who are not in the field can't wait.
People in Bianjing, who dare to buy your words grandiosely.
They all know how good you are, and if you hang your words on the house without your permission, 80% of them will be killed.
So they won't buy your words at all.
Only those who are being taken advantage of from other places dare to buy your words with a clear price.
Anyway, they only know your fame, but they don't know how good you are. "
Kou Ji glared at Zhao Run, took the short book from Zhao Run's hand, looked up and down, and yelled, "Let me copy someone else's birthday greetings. I lied that I did it. Do I have to use a private seal?"
Don't even think about it. "
Zhao Run said frankly: "The words were bought with money, and anyone's name can be signed. You said you did it, and no one will expose it."
Kou Ji rubbed his eyebrows and threw the short book to Zhao Run.
Zhao Run was right, and only the nouveau riche and takers from other places dared to spend money so blatantly to make him copy words.
They didn't know Kou Ji's power at all, and even regarded it as a way for Kou Ji to solicit bribes and collect money, so they dared to act blatantly.
Change to the people in Bianjing City, you try.
Kou Ji wrote two words casually and threw it to him, asking him for 20,000 pens, he would think that the pen fee was less.
Ignorance is bliss, and it is true.
"Hold something and get out. I wouldn't do something like this."
Kou Ji drove Zhao Run dissatisfied.
Zhao Run didn't move, and stretched out two fingers and said: "Two hundred thousand pens!"
Kou Ji was taken aback and hesitated: "It's a bit too generous."
Zhao Run nodded and said, "It is said that he is a rich man. His son is studying in Wenchang Academy and came to visit. Hearing that you have your handwriting for sale, he will bid 200,000 guan. I would like to ask you to give him his 80th birthday soon. My old father wrote a birthday message."
Speaking of this, Zhao Run paused and emphasized: "People have repeatedly emphasized that they want the authenticity."
Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, and said in confusion: "Is it a fake if I sold it before co-authoring?"
Zhao Run couldn't laugh or cry: "You are the famous God of Wealth in the Song Dynasty, with huge wealth and high authority. Who dares to believe that you sell words for profit?"
Kou Ji couldn't laugh or cry: "That's what I said... but the price you sell is not low."
Zhao Run hurriedly said: "Although they can't believe that the word is authentic, they know that it was written by a famous artist. That's why they are willing to pay such a high price.
You know, the paper you use is Chengxintang paper, which is a tribute, and most people are not qualified to use it. "
Kou Ji questioned: "Even so, why would anyone dare to ask for the authenticity?"
Zhao Run resolutely gave an evaluation, "Silly and bold."
Kou Ji sighed and said: "Ignorance is really a blessing. It's nothing more, his old father lived to eighty years old, he is considered a longevity, even if he meets an official, he can still ask for a word.
I will write him a word.
When someone asks, you just say you are a lie. "
Zhao Run stared in amazement, "How about one word?"
Kou Ji said angrily: "True! One word is 200,000 pens, and everything is lost. That is to be stamped privately."
When Zhao Run heard this, he did not speak again.
Kou Ji walked to the desk and told Zhao Run to grind the ink.
After the thick ink formed a mass in the inkstone.
Kou Ji swiped his pen and wrote a word on the paper.
That is the word'Shou'.
Zhao Run's eyes lit up when he saw the word. He stared at Kou Ji, his eyes burning.
"Why, I feel that if someone says that your husband is not learning and skillless, I can't write a good word?"
Kou Ji asked with a smile.
Zhao Run nodded fiercely, "This word'Shou' is more than a little bit stronger than those before. The ones you wrote before, are you afraid that they were just hand-painted
This is your real pen power. "
Kou Ji used a private seal on the painting and waved his hand to make Zhao Run hurry up and get off.
Zhao Run put away the words as he received the most precious treasure, and ran out of the door with his head sullenly.
Just arrived at the door.
Kou Ji's voice was heard from behind.
"Remember, 200,000 Guans, one less one will not be sold."
"After all, are you still thinking about the 200,000 pennies?"
"Hurry up!"
Kou Ji yelled.
Zhao Run left in a hurry with the words.
Kou Ji's study returned to calm again.
But because of him, Bianjing City once again set off storms.
Pingzhang Shi Kou received students in the same middle school, one or two students.
More importantly, they became brothers with the elder prince.
After Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong appeared in Wenchang Academy with Kou Ji's famous post, the news blew through Bianjing like a gust of wind.
All of a sudden, the big wealthy families were moved to send their children to Kou Ji to study.
The young people who were the same age as Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong were moved to teach with Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong.
Some older people were also faintly moved.
The literary arena in Bianjing City became completely lively.
Kou Ji, the instigator, didn't care about it.
After Da Song and Jiaozhi negotiated a proper deal.
Zhao Zhen asked the people in the Ministry of Households and Engineering to prepare supplies.
The news of Da Song's acquisition of Jiaozhi with money was also quickly spread in the court.
Some of the civil servants felt that Jiaozhi was a land of barbarians, and the acquisition of Jiaozhi by the Song Dynasty was a loss-making business.
As soon as these words came out, Wang Zeng and Cai Qi were sprayed with blood.
Some of the military ministers felt that there was no need for Chaotang to buy Jiaozhi, the land of bullets, and the court at all.
Give them a soldier, and they can make Jiaozhi the territory of the Song Dynasty before the end of the year.
Kou Ji did not speak, and Yang Wenguang, the head of the military minister, did not happen.
No matter how fierce the military ministers shouted, they could only shout.
The transaction between Da Song and Jiaozhi is proceeding in an orderly manner.
Cochin needs a lot of materials.
Bianjing City can't come up with so many supplies.
Therefore, the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry cooperated to distribute to various local yamen, in exchange for the tax reduction and exemption, in exchange for the materials in the hands of the local wealthy families.
Then the local government sent people to transport it to the city, and then from each city to the adjacent port. The port was picked up by a large ship, and then it was sent to Jiaozhi together.
After the materials were completely dispatched to the local area.
It's time for the envoys of Jiaozhi and the officials of Song Dynasty who were going to handover.
The iron materials prepared by the Ministry of Industry, along with crossbows, and craftsmen, followed Da Song officials to Jiaozhi.
Cai Qi has been serving as a political affair for less than a year, and he has become the principal of Jiaozhi, and he must rush to Jiaozhi.
At this news, there was an uproar from the government and the opposition.
The officials in the court became respectful to Kou Ji.
Cai Qi took the initiative to play this matter, but in the eyes of the Manchu civil and military forces, it became Kou Ji's intimidation.
Cai Qi is the first victim of Kou Ji's eradication of dissidents.
Send Cai Qi out of Beijing.
Kou Ji and Cai Qi were sitting together in the tea shed on the side of the road, watching the tens of thousands of people accompanying them constantly escorting supplies past them.
Cai Qi took a sip of water and looked at Kou Ji and said, "I don't need me to explain it to you?"
Kou Ji smiled and said: "Explain what? No need to explain, it feels good to be scared. I was cheated by a stinky guy a few days ago and sold it for 200,000. The historians held on to me and impeached me for a long time.
Now as soon as you leave, they immediately died down.
It feels good to take your Liwei. "
Cai Qi said dubiously: "It is not easy for the historians... Don't bully them too hard..."
Kou Ji said frankly: "I always feel that the yushi people feel that an official has a problem, they can ask the official to go to the yushitai to help themselves, and then do an investigation.
After obtaining the true evidence, impeachment will have a greater effect.
It is easy to be used by others. "
Cai Qi a little disagreed with Kou Ji's thoughts, "If the historians don't listen to the news, how can they wake up the world? If they investigate first and then impeach them, that would be robbing the functions of the Criminal Ministry.
Speaking of this, Cai Qi sighed: "More importantly, the imperial historians can't afford to offend the Manchu civil and military. Although my Song Dynasty is now marching toward the prosperous age, it is not the age of the Dazhi mentioned by the saint.
The prince broke the law, but there is no way to commit the same crime with the common people.
It is a capital crime for civilians to kill people.
But how about the princes
At most a few days in the clan residence.
Where are the dignitaries
There are countless methods that do not take responsibility after killing people.
Therefore, even if some people are guilty, if they are found out, they are still in vain and they are easy to offend.
Squatting with the Manchu civil and martial arts and offending the Manchu civil and martial arts, there is no place for Yushitai in the court.
Therefore, the censors can only listen to the wind and tell things, when they are okay, they beat their relatives and relatives, beat and beat high-ranking officials and nobles, so that they can calm down their minds of evil.
Only in this way can we protect the people and ourselves without telling them to offend or die. "
Kou Ji naturally knew this.
In this era under the rule of one person, the word "renqing" is full of the ups and downs of the Song Dynasty.
So there will always be people who get away with it after they make a mistake.
Unless this era under the rule of one person becomes an era under the rule of many people, there is no way to avoid it at all.
But after Cai Qi had finished speaking, Kou Ji was still full of surprises. "The popular rumor is that you Cai Gonggang is upright and does not fear the power. I can hardly imagine that these words came from your mouth."
Cai Qi said quietly: "I have been up and down in the Huahai for many years, and I don't understand the truth. But if I understand the truth, I understand the truth, and I do things. If I, the Yushi Zhongcheng, I am afraid of the powerful and not just enough.
Who would dare to act upright in Yushitai, and who would dare to challenge the powerful
If things go on like this, those powerful and powerful lose their beating, and they will not be in trouble one by one.
So, sometimes, I know that there are tigers in the mountains, and I have to stride into the mountains. "
Kou Ji groaned for a moment, and nodded with deep conviction, "If you go to Jiao Zhi, Duke Cai will not have too much burden. You can do it rashly."
Cai Qi smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The number of people who migrated to Jiaozhi before was about 130,000. Later, the number of people who were transferred from soldiers and horses in various places was probably more than 100,000.
More than two hundred thousand people are counting on me to survive.
How dare I act rashly. "
Kou Ji exclaimed: "Cai Gongyi, I can't compare it."
Cai Qi shook his head and said, "Okay, don't flatter me. What about the person you promised me?"
Kou Ji smiled and said: "They brought some craftsmen and some businessmen, and they have already rushed to Jiaozhi. When you get to Jiaozhi, you will see a Jiaozhi mansion that is as good as my Da Song."
Cai Qi was taken aback for a moment, and then said amusedly: "Don't you let me live in the Jiaozhi Palace?"
Kou Ji sighed: "When you get to Cozhi, the King of Cozhi County will probably have pulled out the Cochin Palace clean. By then, all you will be left with is a ruin.
Do you still want to live on the ruins? "
Cao, the king of Cozhi County, was born in the ranks.
People who are born in the ranks have one problem, that is, they have to dig three feet in the ground.
When Cao wants to leave Jiaozhi, he will surely search the Jiaozhi cleanly, leaving Cai Qi with a piece of white land and a lot of people at a loss.
Cai Qi groaned: "Cozhi County King is not so unkind, right? You don't even leave me a place to stay?"
Kou Ji didn't answer Cai Qi's words, but instead asked, "Will it be you?"
Cai Qi was taken aback and hesitated: "I am afraid that even people will be taken away."
After saying this, he stopped discussing this issue with Kou Ji.
Because if it was him, he would be more ruthless than Cozhi County King.
Even so, there is no way to pray for the kindness of the Cozhi County King.
Kou Ji exhorted: "If what I expected is not bad, after the Cochin King has surrendered, he will either go into the sea or go west. But no matter where he goes, you can't miss it.
He enters the sea, and you have people set up a port on the seashore.
If he goes to the west, you will establish a border market on the west.
He wants to make another foothold for Jiaozhi.
The thirst for materials is endless.
Most of Jiaozhi is not as industrious as my Dasong people.
So he is likely to sell a large amount of loot to Da Song in exchange for supplies.
So you must not miss it. "
Cai Qi groaned and looked at Kou Ji, "Drinking blood on someone else?"
Kou Ji was taken aback, and asked, "You can't bear it?"
Cai Qi shook his head and asked: "How much to drink?"
Hearing Cai Qi said this, Kou Ji knew that Cai Qi was not disgusted with the matter.
The literati of Song Dynasty were very selfish.
They treat themselves best, secondly the people they rule, and finally the people outside the territory.
When they bullied themselves and ruled the people, they felt guilty in their hearts.
But when he bullied outsiders, he didn't feel the slightest guilt in his heart.
Even people like Li Di, Zhang Zhibai, and Cai Qi who blow beards and stare at everyone for the lives of the people, when watching people from outside the territory die in front of them, there is no disturbance at all.
It seems that the people of the Song Dynasty are their **.
And those people outside the territory are just grass and mustaches.
This is also the only thing Kou Ji likes about the literati of Song Dynasty.
Faced with the question raised by Cai Qi, Kou Ji replied decisively, "As much as Li Gong drinks, you can drink as much as you want. Don't squeeze too much, you have to be watery.
In addition, while you are leading the people to cultivate the land, you are also clearing the roads of Jiao Chi.
To provide some convenience for the subsequent transaction between us and the Cozhi County King.
It is very costly to travel from the sea all the time, or to take the mountain trails.
After all the money earned, the freight has been eliminated, I'm afraid there is not much left. "
Cai Qi nodded thoughtfully.
Kou Ji continued: "The people sent by my mansion are not only familiar with Jiaozhi, but also familiar with business, and also familiar with the operation of the court border city. You can ask them for details.
All in all, in the eyes of others, Jiaozhi is a barren land.
But in my eyes, Jiaozhi is a treasure house.
There are not only food in Jiaozhi, but also many gems, gold mines, silver mines, jewelry, jade, spices, etc. in the mountains and forests.
There is also a steady stream of loot that we are looking for to sell.
As long as the business is good, the tax revenue for each year of Jiaozhi can catch up with many of the wealthy mansions of the Song Dynasty. "
Cai Qi said in shock: "Can you catch up with Jiangning Mansion?"
Kou Ji couldn't laugh or cry: "Jiangning Mansion has been prosperous since ancient times. If you want to catch up with Jiangning Mansion, you need not only goods and money, but also the foundation.
When will wealthy businessmen settle down in Jiaozhi
When can students from Jiaozhi Mansion compete with students from other parts of the Song Dynasty
When will Jiaozhi be able to compare Jiangning Mansion. "
There are many treasures in Jiaozhi, but after being developed, they left Jiaozhi immediately, and no wealth stays in Jiaozhi.
When the treasure of Jiaozhi is empty, it is when Jiaozhi is abandoned.
Therefore, the short-term wealth of a place is not considered rich.
Only if the long-term prosperity goes down, will that be truly rich.
Like later generations, some major mineral cities have blossomed in the heyday of mineral mining, but once the minerals are exhausted, they will quickly return to the ordinary.
Only relying on the economic pull of the city, once the economic pillar is lost, there will be shortcomings immediately.
Therefore, for a city to develop for a long time, it must not only develop economy, but also develop politics, culture and other fields.
Cai Qi can be regarded as an official for many years and has been a herdsman for a long time.
So Kou Ji's words, he can understand.
In fact, there is no need to say more about Kou Ji, he will also focus on enlightenment.
After all, under his management, Jiaozhi, no matter how much food it produces, in everyone's eyes, it is just a place outside the world.
But if Jiaozhi can give birth to ten or eight jinshi.
That would be very different.
A place where Jinshi can be born, who dares to call it a place outside of Hua will be sprayed to death by all scholars throughout the country.
Therefore, it is not food, but education that allows everyone in the Song Dynasty to recognize Jiaozhi.
Li Di has been in Hexi for many years, and he has managed to build a large granary in Hexi.
Hexi has not seen any well-known scholars so far, so the officials in Hexi do not have a high right to speak in the court.
Throughout Hexi, only Li Di, Du Yan, and Chen Yaozi, who are still in Hexi, could speak to the court.
Those other Zhizhou who had the right to hand over the script to the court did not get the court's attention at all.
When the people of Hexi left Hexi and arrived in the hinterland of the Song Dynasty, the people of the Song Dynasty had trouble seeing their eyes.
They will always suspect that the people of Hexi are of barbaric blood.
Therefore, enlightenment is an important part of allowing everyone in the Da Song Dynasty to recognize a place.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to see that time... But I will do some of it now, and people in the back will do less."
Cai Qi sighed.
As if thinking of something, Cai Qi smiled and said: "I am a little grateful now that I didn't let the children and grandchildren of the family become official as Li Di did.
Although my children and grandchildren are not considered talents, it is still very easy to get a Jinshi under my supervision.
When I got to Jiaozhi, I immediately set up enrollment in various places in Jiaozhi.
Then open the subject.
The next time the court recruits scholars, I will definitely be on the list of talented scholars. "
