Kou Ji smiled heartily: "Since the girl treats me like a elder brother, I naturally have to shoulder the responsibility of being a elder brother."
Xiang Yan smiled and nodded, as if thinking of something, a trace of sorrow floated on his face, "Although Bao Zheng stayed a bit, he is not a person who likes to hang around in brothel restaurants. Xuer married him and won't Be jealous for him.
Xianggong only fell in love with his concubine throughout his life, and Bao Zheng was afraid that he would follow in the footsteps of Xianggong.
Xuer can be considered good luck if he can get a beloved person.
But the younger sister’s marriage hasn’t settled so far. Seeing that the younger sister has come to the end of her life, her concubine body is distraught. "
Mentioned the little sister of the Xiang family, the smile on Kou Ji's face disappeared. After a deep sigh, he faintly said: "The little girl has a different identity. He is a person from the official harem. Even if the official is not. Regardless, the hundreds of civil and military officials below will stare at them.
It is impossible to marry a prominent official.
Scholars with a little talent dare not get close to the younger sister.
Ordinary farmers have that courage, but the younger sister is too old, and the young and strong people in ordinary farmers' family have children at her age.
So the only widowers who dare to marry a younger sister.
You don't want to let the little girl marry those widowers.
So the marriage of the younger sister is very difficult. "
Xiang Yan gritted her teeth and said: "I'm also a big family in Xiang family, and a family of officials, and my younger sister is also considered to be a concubine, and a complete body, how could it be handed over to the widower."
Kou Ji smiled bitterly: "The question is, apart from those stupid and bold peasant households, who will marry the younger sister, who dares to marry the younger sister. Anyone who is a little bit knowledgeable will hide after knowing the identity of the younger sister."
Xiang Yan said angrily: "The officials and the queen don't care about this..."
"You can care about etiquette and law, the Manchu dynasty, civil and military care... In the eyes of everyone who writes on the ruling and the opposition, etiquette is bigger than the sky..."
"It's all my dad's sins. The little girl is such a good person. She must be sent to the palace to suffer. Nowadays, people are not like ghosts or ghosts..."
"..."
Kou Ji sighed and said, "Send my little girl to Handi. My grandfather still lacks some gentlemen in the newly established Datong Academy in Handu. With my little sister's talents, it is easy to go to the lower courtyard of the Academy to teach those Mongolian children literacy.
If you can find a good match among the gentlemen of the college, you can also form a good relationship.
No one in Handi should care about her identity. "
Xiang Yan hesitated and said, "I was afraid that my father would not agree."
Kou Ji rolled his eyes, "When did you care about your father?"
Xiang Yan gritted his teeth and said: "He always wants to send the little girl back to the palace again."
Kou Ji's face was slightly cold, "You turn around and send someone to tell them that they will give me an end to contention for profit. Otherwise, after I leave Bianjing City, I will definitely not care about them.
When they are swallowed up by life, they won't be able to blame me.
Obviously they are a group of stupid sheep, but they always want to pretend to be wolves in the wolf pack in wolf skin. "
Xiang Yan nodded, "The concubine body will send someone tomorrow. By the way, can you put the little girl in the middle court or the upper court. The concubine body can be heard from God, and the teachings of Mengtong in the lower court are mostly ineffective mediocrities .
The teachings in the middle house and the upper house are outstanding people. "
Kou Ji glanced at Xiang Yan and said faintly: "As a little girl, find a mediocre one, and it will be good to live a peaceful life.
Do you still want her to be distinguished
If she is noble, where do you put the face of Manchu civil and military affairs? "
Xiang Yan sighed and said nothing.
The ritual law is greater than the sky, and the ancestor's ritual law can restrain people to death.
Some days later.
Kou Ji no longer pays attention to the marriage of Bao Zheng, Zhao Xu, and the little sister of Xiang Jia. He is busy waiting for guests at the house.
In the past, those jinshi who went out from the Kou Mansion and scattered to various places in the Song Dynasty to make contributions, now they have achieved fame, and are successively dispatched back to Beijing one after another.
From the first Fan Zhongyan and Su Xun to the later Bao Zheng, Ouyang Xiu, Fu Bi, Wen Yanbo and others, some talents also appeared in front of Kou Ji under their guidance.
For example, Tang Jie and Zhang Fang are equal people.
Ouyang Xiu was sent back to Beijing after Bao Zheng. He recommended Tang Jie to Kou Ji, followed by Fu Bi, and finally Wen Yanbo.
In addition to bringing Zhang Fangping to Kou Ji, Wen Yanbo also brought back a letter from Han Qi.
The flower hall of the bamboo courtyard.
Kou Ji ordered his servant to serve Wen Yanbo and Zhang Fangping with tea, and took out Han Qi's letter and read it.
Han Qi is the most memorable of Kou Ji's many students.
He was fishing in Hedong to enforce the law and was judged by Wang Zeng as unkind.
Han Qi wanted to be promoted, but the old guy disagreed life and death, and repeatedly wrote admonishment, saying that if Han Qi entered the Bianjing city, he would definitely become a major evil in Song Dynasty.
The old guy is eyeing Han Qi.
Zhao Zhen thought that Wang Zeng was a rare humerus in the dynasty, so he adopted Wang Zeng's suggestion, which was regarded as a face to Wang Zeng.
As for many people writing to Han Qi, defending Han Qi, and praising Han Qi for being a talent.
Zhao Zhen ignored it.
There are so many talents in the Song Dynasty, Zhao Zhen has no reason to smash the talents inside the center for a talent outside the center.
Now the Great Song is all over the world.
Talent is like a carp crossing the river.
It is impossible for Zhao Zhen to put all his talents in the center.
So many talents must be thrown out of the center.
Although it's a bit conspicuous.
But it can only hold back.
Because they can't rely on outsiders like before.
Outsiders dare not want them.
Lu Yijian and other talents who had been in the center were sent to Qingtang to join the cattle and sheep by Zhao Zhen, and Han Qi was a mere Han Qi, and it was nothing.
Han Qi felt aggrieved and couldn't tell the court, so he could only write a letter to Kou Ji, telling Kou Ji his grievances.
After reading Han Qi's letter, Kou Ji said one sentence throughout.
'Sir, everything I did in Hedong was ordered by you, so you have to carry it with me. '
Kou Ji put down Han Qi's letter and coughed.
Wen Yanbo and Zhang Fangping hurriedly put down their tea bowls and looked at Kou Ji respectfully.
Kou Ji said to Wen Yanbo: "When you look back, you write to Han Qi and tell Han Qi that there is nothing wrong with you. The court didn't send him to Beijing because of another use.
Inspections on corruption and bribery in Guangxi and Guangnan provinces have received as many as 134,867 bribes.
The evil leader is already escorted back to Beijing, and Qiuhou will ask Zan.
Now the officials of Guangxi and Guangnan have used the majesty of the imperial court to make money from the land kings in the mountains and woods.
This matter has spread in Guangxi and Guangnan provinces.
Therefore, the court must send a capable person to deal with this matter. "
Wen Yanbo pondered and said, "Han Qi is the able man chosen by the court?"
Kou Ji nodded and said, "The situation in Guangxi and Guangnan provinces is very complicated. If necessary, we need to make heavy efforts. Sending other people to it, the officials and I were not at ease, so we chose Han Qi."
Wen Yanbo smiled, "In this way, Han Qi is also considered a high promotion."
The inspections in the two provinces are far larger than the one in the same province.
Han Qi was naturally promoted.
Kou Ji nodded and said, "Don't worry about Han Qi's affairs, just talk about you."
Wen Yanbo hurriedly said: "What can the students say. Although the students did not govern Langxie Mansion as rich as Bohai Mansion.
But Langxie Mansion is also one of the best in today's Liaodi. "
Kou Ji glanced at Wen Yanbo and said angrily: "Most of it doesn't depend on your Wen Family and Liu Family's background? If it weren't for the two giants in Hedong to move into Langxie Mansion, you thought your Langxie Mansion could be so fast. Just develop?"
Wen Yanbo smiled dryly.
Kou Ji stared at Wen Yanbo and said: "Your Wen family sold the land in Hedong and started a business with one heart. In the process, there is no suspicion of tax evasion, but..."
As soon as Kou Ji said the word'but', Wen Yanbo quickly defended: "Sir, the Wen family, who is now doing business in Langxie Mansion, and even all over the Song Dynasty, is not the same as the students.
Students dare not violate the iron law set by you and the officials. "
Kou Ji said angrily: "It's just a small means of dividing the family. If you check it carefully, do you think your Wen family can withstand the investigation?"
Wen Yanbo looked embarrassed, but there was no panic on his face.
He knew in his heart that Kou Ji would obviously not pursue this matter again, otherwise he would not say these things to him in private.
With Kou Ji's nature, if he really wants to investigate the matter, then I am afraid that the prison car that captured everyone in the Wen family is already on the way.
Kou Ji said earnestly: "I don't care if the wealthy and big households do business separately. As long as the taxes are paid in accordance with the truth and everything is under the restraint of the law, then they will be on the stage.
What I want to argue with you today is that the opening you opened for your Wen Family and Liu Family in Langxie Mansion is a bit big.
Now in Langxie Mansion, 50% of the merchants belong to your literary family, and 40% of the merchants belong to the Liu family.
Businesses in other places are less than 10% of your two.
There are not even 10% of the merchants among the local people. "
Wen Yanbo explained: "Sir, it's not that the students are seeking public for personal gain. It is the Langxie Mansion after the war, waiting to be revived. Langxie Mansion does not have such a convenient dock as Bohai Mansion.
Wen Jia and Liu Jia are willing to abandon their ancestral business and invest all their wealth in Langxie Mansion out of trust in the students and also to help the court.
Now Langxie Mansion has improved, and the Wen Family and Liu Family's various businesses have also started.
That's why they had made a huge amount of money in the early stage.
It's not that the students are giving them a lot of benefits in secret.
Others only saw Wen's and Liu's eating meat and soup, but they didn't see Wen's and Liu's eating bran throat vegetables. "
Kou Ji waved his hand and said: "You don't have to be wronged either. I know the reason behind this. The reason I remind you is because the Wen family and the Liu family are too big.
It is not a good thing that the Wen family and the Liu family dominate the business of the same mansion.
You can do business in other provinces, or you can go to other provinces to become members.
But one can't dominate alone.
You dominate a mansion, and you have a huge number of followers, and it is easy to influence the officials of the court.
It is easier to give birth to a lot of wealthy people oppressing the poor.
Your literary family and Liu family are also considered interesting, and did not oppose the court.
So I don't hope that one day, the sword and axe of the court will fall on the Wen family and the Liu family. "
Wen Yanbo pondered and said, "Is the court afraid of merchants sitting up?"
Kou Ji slowly shook his head and said: "The court is not afraid that you will have a wealth of wealth by doing business, and it is not afraid that you will be rich in the enemy's country. What the court is afraid of is that you stay on one side, dominate one side, influence the government of one party, and oppress the people of one party.
As long as you don't squeeze the people, don't oppress the people, don't affect the court's decree, abide by the court's laws, and pay business taxes to the court as usual.
How you do business, how to make a fortune, the court will not control.
You are rich enough to be an enemy country, and the court will not snatch it. "
Wen Yanbo pondered and said, "Is this the court's attitude towards merchants?"
Kou Ji nodded solemnly.
Wen Yanbo tentatively asked, "Where is the Bafang Jiaozi shop that was destroyed before?"
Kou Ji smiled non-smiling Wen Yanbo, "You may have heard something from others, but I can tell you frankly.
The thing behind Bafang Jiaozipu is indeed what I call. "
Wen Yanbo's expression changed slightly, but he didn't say anything.
Kou Ji continued: "I move Bafang Jiaozipu, not because they are not allowed to do business, but because they are not allowed to steal the country's important weapons.
Without the supervision of the court, lending money is killing money.
When a very low-cost jiaozi can become ten, one hundred, or even one thousand.
It is easy to cause greed in the hearts of businessmen.
Your literary family also has business. You should understand that the greed in people's hearts, especially in the hearts of businessmen, is endless.
In order to satisfy their greed, they will take risks.
For example, like Jiaozipu in Shuzhong, it is over-issued without sufficient financial support.
Once someone pierces the matter, a run will form.
As long as Jiaozipu can't get enough money to cope with the run, it will be a disaster no less than Hong and Bai.
Therefore, borrowing must be carried out under the supervision of the imperial court.
The same is true for handing out children.
Do you think a businessman should have such authority? "
Wen Yanbo shook his head solemnly.
Kou Ji continued: "Besides, dealing with Bafang Jiaozipu is also because Bafang Jiaozipu took the lead in provocation."
Wen Yanbo and Zhang Fangping looked at each other and looked at Kou Ji together.
Seeing this, Kou Ji smiled and said: "It seems that you only know one thing, but you don't know the other. The eight owners behind Bafang Jiaozipu, before establishing Bafang Jiaozipu, concentrated their gold and silver in the market. Collect copper coins on a large scale.
The four palaces under the imperial court were affected and almost caused a money shortage.
If it weren't for me and the officials to act in a timely manner to shock one or two, I am afraid the scope will be wider.
The imperial court is now gradually withdrawing the coinage rights, and is working hard to restore the use of Tianshengtongbao among the people.
The purpose is to expel all miscellaneous money and iron money.
Unify private use of money.
Provide a certain degree of fairness and justice for businessmen to do business, but also to prevent the civilians from being squeezed by miscellaneous money and iron money.
If they make a money shortage, everything the court has done will be in vain.
Therefore, for those who dare to provoke the court, they dare to be enemies of the court's decree.
Neither the official nor I will be soft-hearted.
If it weren't for them, after feeling the pressure from me and the officials, they would decisively stop.
It was not them who were beaten to death by the people.
It's their tribe. "
Wen Yanbo and Zhang Fangping looked at each other, and both saw the consternation in each other's eyes.
How big is the heart of playing tricks in front of the two killers Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen
After a brief consternation, Wen Yanbo handed his hand to Kou Ji: "The student will write a letter to his father when he comes back, asking his father to give up part of Langxie Mansion's business to the people, and then move part of Langxie's business out.
Kou Ji nodded with satisfaction: "Go to the northeast. Although the northeast is a bit colder, the northeast is not as barren as you think.
Now that the northeast is a waste of money, if you can seize the first opportunity, you can also make a lot of money. "
Wen Yanbo nodded solemnly.
After Wen Yanbo instructed, Kou Ji looked at Zhang Fangping.
Zhang Fangping is two years younger than Kou Ji, but looks older than Kou Ji.
Roughly because of the cold wind blowing in the Western Regions and Gu Meng Mansion.
He has a beard, and the beard is very dry, like a ball of withered grass.
"You did a good job at Gumeng Mansion..."
Kou Ji gave a compliment.
Zhang Fangping hurriedly said, "Thank you Kou Xiang for the compliment."
Kou Ji shook his head and smiled: "In three years, you have transformed a deserted ancient Meng mansion and an ancient Meng mansion with only more than one hundred thousand abject people and hundreds of thousands of criminal records into one where everyone has food and everything. The place to wear clothes is really good.
You learned from the example of Li Gong planting trees and reclaiming wasteland in Hexi.
You can also learn from the example of Wang Sui planting trees and reclaiming wasteland in Xingqing Mansion and other places.
But you didn't apply it directly.
It is a combination of planting trees, grazing, and farming.
One huge farm after another was established.
It is really good to find a way to get rich for the people of Gumeng Mansion.
Huge farms are not suitable for other places in the Song Dynasty.
However, it is definitely an excellent way to get rich in Gumeng Mansion, Yanshan Mansion and other places.
Now Wang Sui has put down his figure and sent people to Gumeng Mansion to learn about the farm you founded.
It can be seen that Wang Sui has recognized your achievements.
Wang Sui is an upright person, and it is not easy to get his approval.
If it weren't for Wang Sui's outspoken remonstrance back then, perhaps he has a place in the political affairs hall today. "
Zhang Fangping heard Kou Ji's words and said with a wry smile: "In fact, there is no way to go to the official position. There are mountains and rivers in the rest of the Song Dynasty.
Only a few places such as Gumeng Mansion and Yanshan Mansion are an endless grassland.
There is not much reference for the subordinates.
Not only did the subordinates govern the people of Gumeng Mansion, they also had to take care of those crimes.
The guilt is completely different from the people’s lifestyle.
The only way to achieve perfect integration can be through the farm. "
Kou Ji nodded and said: "Now my Da Song has a vast territory, and the situation in different places is different. A bold attempt is necessary. You did not copy my Da Song's governance method in the hinterland of the Central Plains. Instead, you adjusted the measures to local conditions and came up with a suitable for Gu Meng Mansion. The method is already very good.
Those officials in other places are still copying my Da Song governance methods in the hinterland of the Central Plains.
So they will have a long time to make contributions.
It will be effective without you. "
Zhang Fangping arched his hands and said, "Kou Xiangmi praised it."
Kou Ji smiled and said: "When the king recommended you to me, I wanted to see if you could take on the big responsibility. So I was sent to the Western Regions to join the army.
I didn't expect you to do well in the Western Regions.
Later, Da Song took the Liaodi, and I thought of you again, so I threw you to Gumeng Mansion.
Now it seems that you are indeed worthy of Wang Zeng's recommendation. "
Zhang Fangping solemnly said: "The prince recommends, the subordinates will remember it in their hearts, the Kou Xiangxiang's love, the subordinates will never forget."
Kou Ji pointed to Zhang Fangping and smiled: "The lie was so generous with what you said. If someone treats me like this, I would have begun to scold my mother."
Wen Yanbo laughed loudly when he heard this.
Zhang Fangping couldn't laugh or cry.
Kou Ji also laughed for a while, and told Zhang Fangping: "Although you can do things, the methods are too arrogant. When you first came to Gumeng Mansion, in order to feed the people of Gumeng Mansion, you did everything you could do. He even took them to looting further north.
If it weren't for me, I think that you have been a public man and have blocked a lot of impeachment for you.
I'm afraid you have long been overwhelmed by the memorials of the Manchu dynasty.
You are a civil servant, an official of a herdsman, so you should not be so arrogant.
Not to be able to always think of going beyond the rules to do things.
The arrogant methods belong to the lieutenant generals.
Those who do things beyond the rules are risky ones.
You are now a big official, and you have to do things smoothly and squarely. "
Zhang Fangping solemnly said: "Thank you Kou Xiang for your teachings."
Kou Ji waved his hand and said, "Okay, you have just returned to Beijing. I am afraid that there are many people who want to visit, and there are many old classmates who want to visit, so there is no need to waste time here.
Take the things you brought with me when you go out.
If I didn't learn well at a young age, I actually learned to give gifts.
It's nothing more than giving gifts. I will also accept some of the souvenirs you have appointed.
What are precious things
I, Kou Ji, is the kind of person who is greedy for money
If I am greedy for money, you may not even be able to get in. "
Kou Ji's joking beating caused Wen Yanbo and Zhang Fangping not to laugh or cry, but also awakened them.
After the two bowed their hands, they walked out.
Kou Ji exhorted, "Don't give too expensive gifts to other people's houses. Otherwise, be careful I ask the officials to clean up the officialdom."
The two turned around, arched their hands, answered, and left the bamboo courtyard dumbfoundingly.
Therefore, there is a reunion and classmates reunion, so it is natural to celebrate.
Visiting the garden, holding a poem party, visiting the fireworks and willow alleys, and boarding the flower boat for fun.
Because of this group of guys returning to Beijing, Bianjing has become more extravagant.
Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen didn't like extravagance, but they didn't stop it either.
A group of them had been serving as officials in a poor place before, and had suffered a lot. After returning to Beijing, Kou Ji could understand.
In addition to the opening of the Song Dynasty folk customs, the unobstructed convention and other grand gatherings are all elegant events.
So they are open to play, it is not easy to blame.
However, not everyone likes elegance.
Bao Zheng is a very stubborn and not very gregarious kid.
When Wen Yanbo, Ouyang Xiu and others embraced the beauties, drinking and singing, Bao Zheng carried a bag of pastries and went to the bamboo courtyard.
Seeing Bao Zheng carrying a bag of pastries and wearing a simple Tsing Yi appeared in front of him, Kou Ji looked surprised.
Kou Ji looked at Bao Zheng up and down, and said with an unbelievable expression: "From the time I met you until now, except for the old teacher appreciating banquet, you gave me a good book. At other times, I went to the house and gave nothing.
Why did you break the vow today? "
…
