"Without pillars, without foundation stones, it will inevitably collapse..."

Wang Anshi replied in a deep voice.

Kou Ji smiled and said with satisfaction: "I learned here today. Going back and thinking about this question will be of great benefit to you in the future."

Wang Anshi thanked Kou Ji's teachings, packed his things and left the study.

After Wang Anshi left, Kou Ji said to himself: "Boy, the prime minister of that utopian country is you. The decree that caused the people's misery is the Young Miao Law."

There was only one person in the study, and no one heard Kou Ji's self-talk.

Kou Ji stayed in the study for a long time after Wang Anshi left.

Then go back to the room to sleep.

The next day, Kou Ji met Liang Shi in the main hall.

Liang Shi is a middle-aged man, three years older than Kou Ji.

The Liang family is a famous family.

Liang Shi's father and brother are both champions in the Song Dynasty, and they have the reputation of father and son champions among the people.

In the history books, from Liang Shiguan to the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, the three fathers and sons were hailed as the'Three Liangs of Loyalty and Filial Piety', and were as famous as the'Three Masters of the Chen Family' and the Three Sus of Wenqing.

There are eight sons, each of whom is outstanding.

The grandson is a lot more.

Among them, those who live in temples are nine out of ten.

In the Song Dynasty, he made a reputation of "full hall, Liang Banchao".

Others call it Banchao, and they are all piled up from the past.

His family relies on his own people.

However, Liang Shi's career was a bit bumpy.

Both father and son died prematurely, which caused him to stay together again and again, miss the best time for official career, and did not prepare to participate in the imperial examination until the year of Li Li.

The appearance of Kou Ji disrupted history and caused another problem in his career.

He should have been admitted to the Jinshi and passed the official post.

However, because of the appearance of Wenchang Academy, he temporarily gave up the scientific research and entered the Wenchang Academy to study.

Kou Zhun left that copy when he left Bianjing.

He resolutely followed Kou Zhun, rushed to Handi, and became one of Kou Zhun's many followers.

After Kou Ji learned the details of his home, he always felt that this person was Kou Zhun deliberately solicited.

After all, he has a rigorous family history, and all the children who come out of the family are outstanding.

Kou Zhun recruited him, it was tantamount to recruiting a talent.

With the help of the Liang family, Kou Zhun can not only quickly establish his context in Korea, but also quickly build various levels of yamen in Korea.

Kou Ji is going to ask about this when he arrives in Korea.

Liang Shi met Kou Ji and gave a respectful salute, "Chen Liang Shi, see Old Prince..."

Liang Shi is now serving as a long-term historian in the Palace of the King of Han, and is considered Kou Tianci's retainer. It is also right to call himself a minister before Kou Ji.

It's just the three words Old Wangye, which sounds a bit harsh.

Although in this age when the average age is around 30 years old, people over 30 are eligible to be called an old word.

But Kou Ji still didn't like it.

He always felt that only people over sixty years old are qualified to be called old.

But Kou Ji didn't want to care about it.

After Liang Shili passed, Kou Ji raised his hand slightly, "How is Han Di now?"

Liang Shizheng said: "Back to the old prince, now there are 60,000 households in Handi, 130,000 households, 170,000 soldiers, 23 million hunks of grain, mostly rice.

Gong Kou divided Korea into one capital, two prefectures, eight prefectures and thirty-two counties.

Kaiping is now designated as a capital, named Hancheng, or Handu.

The two provinces are the north and the south, the Linhai Prefecture in the south and Guiyi Prefecture in the north.

The other eight states and thirty-two counties have their own names. "

Kou Ji can fully understand Kou Zhun's re-division of the Korean region and the renamed various places in the Korean region.

Kou Ji's move is to destroy the remnants of Goryeo.

As long as the Kou's rule on that piece of land is long enough.

People in that area will gradually forget the names of places in Goryeo before.

When the people in that place became familiar with Xin's place names, learned new knowledge, and spoke Chinese, then Goryeo would be completely destroyed.

Kou Ji pretended to be astonished and said: "The gift of heaven is just a king, not a country leader. How can you build a capital? Also, 170,000 soldiers and horses? Where did they come from? Where did 60,000 households come from? from

I remember when my grandfather and Godsend went to Handi, but they brought less than 13,000 people.

Where did it pop up? Where did more than 200,000 people pop up

The number of criminal households hasn't changed, won't they be snatched from the Song Dynasty? "

At the end of Kou Ji's speech, panic appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Liang Shi hurriedly explained: "There is General Di Qingdi in the Liaodi, who dares to snatch people from the Liaodi. Gong Gong restrains the soldiers and horses of the Handi, and the people of the Handi never crossed without permission. Yalu River.

The establishment of a capital in Korea is permitted by the government.

The official secretly gave the princess secret decree, which was announced to the public only after the princess arrived in Handi.

It is precisely because of the official will that Kou Gong dared to establish Han Capital.

As for the more people in Korea, some of them were brought by Kou Gong and the prince when they were there, and some were brought by the princess when they were there.

The rest is effective. "

Kou Ji pretended not to believe it, and asked: "A hundred thousand people have worked, what a joke? I have never heard of a place where several hundred thousand people left."

Liang Shi hesitated for a moment, and said dumbfounded: "Don't dare to deceive the old prince, those people are the remnants of floating on the sea. There are people from the former Sui and Tang, and their ancestors seem to be soldiers from the former Sui and Tang. , So all of them have armors and their martial arts are not weak.

When the prince was patrolling the beach, they came out.

The prince saw that they had been floating on the sea and had no fixed place, so he took them in and attributed them to civil registration.

They also exempted them from paying taxes for two years and gave them a criminal record for them to drive.

Among them, there are many crippled males and single males, so the prince has also given them some criminal women as wives.

Because of their small population, the prince classified two or three of them into one household.

After they settled down, the prince appreciated their martial arts, so he called them to serve as pawns.

To be honest, the minister didn't expect that the prince's casual move would actually cause a big response afterwards.

After those people settled down, they saw that the prince was a diligent and loving prince, so he called for friends to go to sea, and brought a lot of survivors who floated on the sea from the sea.

The minister did not expect that they had collected nearly 200,000 people from the sea for one year. "

Kou Ji looked astonished, "There are more than 200,000 people floating in the sea. Why haven't we found it before? Such a large number of people floating in the sea, it's impossible to have no wind.

Have you confirmed that those people often float at sea? "

Liang Shi solemnly said: "The minister has carefully observed that some of them should have floated on the sea, but some of them should have been on land all year round."

Kou Ji raised his brows and asked, "You mean, some of them might have problems with their origins?"

Liang Shi nodded and said: "The minister thinks that their origin is a mystery. After a long investigation along the sea, nothing was found."

Kou Ji frowned and said, "200,000 people, came out of thin air?"

Liang Shi muttered: "The minister felt that part of it should have come from a place north of Weishi, and a part of it should have come from an island on the sea.

They should always be hidden in the sea and in the extreme north.

There are contacts in the middle.

The minister flipped through Goryeo's suicide note and found that there were traces of their exchanges in it.

They should be the remnants of the former Tang and the former Sui Dynasty. "

Kou Ji thought about it and said: "Then why can't they make it? They don't come out late, but they come out at this time."

Liang Shi said solemnly: "Gong Kou said, it may be related to the colder and colder north outside Wei."

Kou Ji groaned: "You said before that they have good strength. They can pick a land without a master and occupy the mountain as the king.

Why didn’t the mountains show up before? "

Liang Shi said frankly: "The minister sent someone to ask them in private, and they said they were waiting for my Han Dynasty to regain Goryeo. Before I, Song Dynasty attacked Goryeo, they were ready to do something. They just haven't waited for them to follow up with Goryeo. We contacted and we breached Goryeo."

Kou Ji gritted his teeth and said: "It's fine, whether they are saying true or false. We will believe them for the time being. When you go back, tell Godsend, as long as they regard themselves as the people of Handi and obey For the laws of Korea, we will let them go and accept them.

When they are our people.

If they had different intentions, they would ask Di Qing for help and let Di Qing lead his troops to clean them up. "

Liang Shi nodded and said, "Duke Kou said the same. Gong Kou said that Han Di is short of people now, so as long as they are of my Han ethnicity, we should accept them.

We don’t ask about their origin.

After three generations, no matter what status they were before, they will become a complete Korean.

As for whether they have different intentions, there is no need to worry at all.

Kou Gong said, as long as you are still in the Song Dynasty, no one can make waves in Korea, and anyone who makes waves in Korea will be killed by your troops.

Therefore, the prince reassured all the young men among them and recruited them as pawns and dispatched them to various guards. "

Kou Ji took a long breath and said, "Grandfather's statement is reasonable... As long as there is any trouble in Korea, I will play the official and dispatch Di Qing to lead the army."

Liang Shi nodded seriously.

Kou Ji seemed to put aside some thoughts, and smiled and asked Liang Shi, "How about the cultivation of the land, the circulation of goods, and the establishment of a new school?"

When Liang Shi heard this, a smile appeared on his face, "Those who came from the sea, although the details are not clear, they are all murderers and submissive of the crimes of Han Di.

Those guilty of farming can be diligent.

In addition to the original fertile fields in Korea, nearly one million acres of fertile fields have been cultivated.

We went late this year, so we only planted beans for one season.

The prince spent money to buy more than 20 million pallets of grain from Jiaozhi, and he is supporting the people.

By next year, as long as there is no natural disaster, we will have a bumper harvest.

When we passed by, we brought a lot of stewards. When the yamen were erected in various places, the stewards also took people to set up food shops, cloth shops and other shops in various places.

Those who came across the sea also opened some shops.

Although it is still sluggish, goods have begun to circulate everywhere.

In the middle of the year, the court opened a border market on the Yalu River.

Many businessmen flocked to them and brought a lot of goods.

The steward of the palace bought some goods from all over Korea and sold them in the border market.

The two sides exchanged information about what is needed, and in just one and a half seasons, they have brought 300,000 tons of taxes to the palace.

In the future, when our cities across Korea are fully prosperous, the tax revenue will definitely be more. "

Listening to Liang Shi's narration, Kou Ji showed a happy smile on his face.

Although Liang Shi said these things, he had already known through Kou Tianci's letter.

But now Liang Shi re-narrates, he still has to be happy.

"Where is the academy?"

Kou Ji asked with a smile.

Liang Shi smiled brightly and said: "Kaesong is now Hancheng, with the Taixue left by Goryeo. After Kou took the people to Hancheng, he started teaching at Taixue.

People sent by the official family dismantled part of the Taixue left by Goryeo.

Then used materials to build a huge academic palace on the basis of Korea Taixue.

It occupies a full area of 10,000 acres and has everything you need for pavilions.

Kou Gong opened many subjects along the way.

It's that there are fewer students.

However, after the remnants of the sea entered Korea, a part was added.

There are currently 642 husbands and only 300 students.

Kou Gong said that there will definitely be more than 10,000 students in the future. "

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, "Ten thousand mu? Half of Hancheng has been accommodated, right?"

Liang Shi smiled and said, "No... Just a quarter."

Kou Ji said dumbfoundedly: "That's not a small... 10,000 mu, it can no longer be described as an academy, it should be called a Xuegong. My grandfather asked the official to help him build an academy, isn't he afraid of the official cursing

Building an academic palace covering an area of 10,000 acres is no different from building a group of palaces covering an area of 10,000 acres.

The money needed for such a huge project is not a small sum.

Zhao Zhen paid for the money himself.

Liang Shi smiled and said: "Labor does not require money, and wood is almost free. After removing these two items, the cost will not be that big. Otherwise, Kou Gong will not look at Zhangkou to build a 10,000-acre academy.

Of course, Kou Gong asked the court to create only some of the core places.

Most places are vacant.

Kou Gong said that when there are more students, we will rebuild. "

Kou Ji thought about it and said, "My grandfather won't do thankless things. He occupied 10,000 acres of land in one go. Is there any other meaning?"

Liang Shi nodded and said: "The old prince is right at the first guess. Kou Gong did this, but he was forced to do it. Hancheng used to be the capital of Goryeo, and it occupies a lot of space. After the people in it were classified as criminals, they were assigned. Going to other places as a farmer.

Hancheng is an empty city.

At present, only the 13,000 people we have brought and the 10,000 family members of soldiers from the sea live in. Almost all the criminals who cultivated Hancheng lived in some villages outside Hancheng.

Hancheng looked very depressed.

That's why Kou Gong made the last move. "

Kou Ji slowly nodded his head and said, "Where are the places to learn?"

Liang Shi smiled and said: "Education in various places has been established, and the nobles in Korea have been cleaned up. Therefore, many large houses have been vacated. In addition to the distribution to the people, there are many remaining.

Just a little rest, you can become a school of Mongolian learning.

Not only the children of the common people are studying, but the children of sin are also studying. "

Kou Ji groaned: "You should have just established a county education, and there should be no education in the villages. How do you solve the problem of children with criminal status?"

Liang Shi laughed in a low voice: "The prince sent someone to clearly tell those criminals that reading is their only hope for children. Let them send out children over six years old and live in a school in the city. .

They have nothing to do in order to escape.

Many girls were even stuffed.

Kou Gong felt sorry for them and knew that some of them had only girls in their families, so he took advantage of the trend and included girls in the education. "

Kou Ji couldn't laugh or cry: "In order to make them submissively farming, you actually use other people's children as protons."

Liang Shi resolutely said: "We are the disciples of the saints, but we can't do this kind of conscience. We have explained the stakes to them.

If they are unwilling, we will never force it. "

Kou Ji shook his head, and asked with a smile: "After those children entered the city to study, did those crimes become more well-behaved?"

Liang Shi nodded heavily, "The prince is kind, and the children are allowed to go home seven days a month. After the children go home, they told them all about the crime in the school.

The sinners know that we are truly educating those children to read, not doing evil with those children.

So I obeyed a lot. "

Kou Ji smiled bitterly and said, "This is worse than using people as protons..."

Liang Shi smiled in a low voice, without words.

After Kou Ji smiled bitterly, he said to Liang Shi: "After I go back, I will tell Tianci that the conditions for leaving the country can be lowered. Han Di is no better than the Song Dynasty, and they don't ask them to pass the entrance examination, as long as they can pass the examinations established by the two prefectures.

As for the academy set up by my grandfather, for the time being, only the Han descent is used.

Those children born to my Han family, or those who were born into my Han family, are counted among them.

Both parents are guilty and can only stop at school. "

Liang Shi hesitated and nodded.

What he learned was the sage article, and he talked about the teachings.

However, Kou Ji's words blocked the children out of the door, and he couldn't stop him.

Thinking of Kou Ji's brutal methods against people other than Da Song, he can also understand Kou Ji's actions.

Kou Ji ordered the completion of education, and then ordered other things, "During the slack period, criminals and soldiers can build official roads. Official roads are required.

170,000 soldiers, a little too much.

A part of the incomplete ones should be drawn from the 170,000 soldiers and filled into government offices at all levels to serve as small officials and government servants.

Each county can leave five hundred rides.

Each state can leave three thousand rides.

Each government can leave ten thousand paces.

Among the people, 50,000 can be allocated to one army, and one 5,000 to one battalion, stationed in various fortresses in Korea.

Another 30,000 people were drawn to form a navy army, which was still a battalion of 5,000 people, stationed in Hexagon, Korea.

Hancheng can leave twelve thousand.

Two thousand of them and three thousand soldiers of the princess formed the guards of Hancheng.

The other ten thousand can be stationed on the edge of Hancheng and serve as the town army. "

Liang Shi calculated carefully and said, "As a result, the soldiers will be left with 150,000 soldiers. The remaining 20,000 will be filled into local government offices, and there should be more than 17,000 people left. .

How are they placed? "

Kou Ji said with confidence: "Some people can act as the postmen and pawns of the post. The other part can act as the chief of a place, the head of a township, etc."

Liang Shi calculated it, and said, "There are 14,000 people left."

Kou Ji smiled and said: "The remaining people are scattered and distributed to the localities, ten households and one household head. One household head leads two households, and the eight households are registered for crime."

Liang Shi's eyes lit up and clapped his hands: "Wonderful!"

Kou Ji smiled and said nothing.

The land of Korea is just one of the first residences of the Song Dynasty.

It is much easier to manage than Da Song.

Kou Ji, a Tongzhong Shushu who governed the Song Dynasty, managed a small Korean land with ease.

Kou Zhun is even more so.

In fact, this method was not invented by Kou Ji.

It's Kou Zhun.

Kou Ji is now entangled in all the affairs of Da Song, and there is no time to deal with the problem of Korea.

Kou Zhun came up with this method after carefully understanding the situation of the people in Korea.

He knew the details of the soldiers who came from the sea, and knew that those people were now loyal to Kou Ji, not Kou Tianci.

So this sort of messing up the distribution of the soldiers must be said by Kou Ji before the soldiers will listen.

Kou Ji is now using Liang Shi to take the words back, just right.

After Liang Shi was admiring Kou Ji, he couldn't help but said: "Old Lord, you have almost allocated most of the soldiers and horses to the interior of Handi. There are only 30,000 navy troops on the border.

There is no strong army on the Yalu River, aren't you afraid? "

Kou Ji laughed, "What are you afraid of? I'm afraid that I will send troops and horses to attack my fief?"

When Liang Shi heard this, he was not embarrassed. Instead, he said with a serious face: "You have to prepare for the future. You can't stay in Bianjing forever."

Hearing the words, Kou Ji put away the smile on his face, and took a serious look at Liang Shi, "Are you going to take root in Handi?"

Liang Shi asked back: "The minister is already Kou's retainer. Do you think the minister still has room for regret?"

Kou Ji sternly said: "If you are tired of staying in Korea and are willing to go to Bianjing to work, I can help you."

Liang Shi smiled and shook his head and said: "Since I have already been an official in Korea, it is meaningless to go to Bianjing to be an official. I will not get any trust."

Hearing this, Kou Ji knew that Liang Shi was really planning to stay in Korea desperately.

In this regard, Kou Ji was very emotional.

He wanted to ask Kou Zhun, what kind of ecstasy was poured into this guy to make him so loyal to Kou.

Kou Ji stared at Liang Shi and said, "Since you have decided to take root in Handi, then I am not afraid to tell you the truth. I have too few people in Handi today.

If there are too many soldiers and horses, then no one will lead those crimes to farm the land.

Therefore, we must wait until the population is up before we can provide more soldiers and horses. "

Liang Shi hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "You must not have the heart to harm others, and you must not have the heart to guard against others."

Kou Ji smiled and said: "I understand the truth. But as long as I am in the Song Dynasty, Han Di will not have any problems. What's more, once there is a problem in Han Di, I am afraid that the other places will die."

Liang Shi pondered for a moment and said, "I hope so..."

Kou Ji said with a gentle smile: "What have you brought this time to bring the tribute?"
