Kou Ji's intention was almost instantly understood by Mu and Chong.

This is to prevent others from forging, and to prevent people below from having different intentions and collaborating with others to harm the interests of Jiaozipu.

If you understand it more deeply, it can also be regarded as a means of controlling your subordinates.

People with high status know far more than people with low status, which consolidates the status of people with high status.

Regarding Kou Ji's request, Mu and Chong all nodded in agreement and had no objections.

Kou Ji took back the Jiaozi template and put it in the box. After locking it, he put away the key and reminded the three of them: "The cost of the newly released Jiaozi is not low, especially the color ink used to print Jiaozi.

The price is much higher than ordinary ink.”

Meng Weizhong, Qian Le and Mu Chong grinned when they heard this.

Qian Le asked with a smile: "Can they be more expensive than gold?"

Kou Ji shook his head and said, "That's not true..."

The three of them, Mu Chong, smiled knowingly.

Mu Chong said with a smile: "Everything depends on Minister Kou. The three of us have no objections to Jiaozi printing."

Although businessmen value profits, they are also willing to spend money.

No matter how high the cost of a Jiaozi is, it cannot exceed the normal amount.

After Jiaozi is issued, the lowest face value will be Guangqian.

As long as Jiaozi can be issued, it will be a profit for them.

As for the issuance of one or two copper coins, or more than ten copper coins, none of the four people mentioned it.

In the eyes of the four of them, one or two copper coins, or more than ten copper coins, are not qualified to be exchanged in Jiaozi shop.

From the moment it was born, Jiaozi has been serving businessmen and wealthy families.

Jiaozi is not cheap enough to serve for one or two copper coins or more than ten copper coins.

The four of them sat together and chatted for a while.

Qian Le mentioned during the conversation that after the issuance of Jiaozi, there was an issue with the pricing of the custody fees charged.

Meng Weizhong mentioned that after the issuance of Jiaozi, the copper coins stored in the warehouse can be used to lend money and make profits.

Mu Chong mentioned the transportation and storage issues of copper coins.

Kou Ji answered the questions raised by the three people one by one.

With Kou Ji answering, the three of them do not need to continue to worry about many questions. They can act based on the answers they get from Kou Ji.

After a conversation, the three of them had nothing but admiration and awe for Kou Ji.

They also understood that cooperating with Kou Ji was the wisest choice.

Among the three of them, some of them had had different intentions in the past and thought that if the relationship with Kou Ji fell apart, they would be their friends.

After talking to Kou Ji, they no longer had such objections.

As they talked more deeply with Kou Ji, they discovered that Kou Ji's understanding of Jiaozi was far beyond their knowledge.

If they were to make friends on their own and fight against Kou Ji, they would lose even their pants.

The four of them chatted until the evening.

Meng Weizhong warmly invited Kou Ji to have fun in a secret prostitution parlor in Bianjing City.

Kou Ji declined his invitation.

In the envious eyes of the three of them, they handed the box containing the Jiaozi template to Lu Ming, and also handed the key to Lu Ming.

He also told Lu Ming to start printing tomorrow with the people sent by his family. At that time, he would send people to deliver the colored ink used for printing.

Lu Ming carefully accepted the box and key, found a rope on the spot, tied the key on it, and hung it around his neck.

He solemnly promised Kou Ji: "The key is there, and the person is there. If the person is gone, the villain will try his best to return the key to the young master."

Kou Ji couldn't help but patted Lu Ming on the shoulder and said, "Don't be so stupid. If you lost the key, just come to me and I'll make another version. There's no need to risk your life for it. This thing is priceless to others.

As far as I'm concerned, your young master is not worth much."

Seeing this, Mu Chong and the other three looked envious.

They suddenly felt that being Kou Ji's servants seemed better than being Kou Ji's partners.

Kou Ji gave Lu Ming some instructions, hugged his fists at Mu Chong and the others, and left Jiaozipu.

Return to the house.

As soon as I walked to the main entrance, I found that the main entrance was crowded with scholars.

Each of them held rolls of articles and ingots of gold and silver in their hands, and stuffed them into the hands of the gatekeepers of the Kou Mansion.

The disciples of the Kou Mansion looked at the ingots of gold and silver with envy, but they did not dare to accept any of them.

The main entrance was crowded with people, and Kou Ji couldn't get in, so he had to enter the house through the secret door of Kou's house.

As soon as you enter the house.

Kou Ji summoned the steward of the house.

"What are those scholars gathering at the door doing?"

The steward said respectfully: "Young Master, those scholars are here to submit papers."

"Submission?"

Kou Ji said suspiciously: "My grandfather is not here, so what's the use of submitting papers?"

Hearing this, the steward was stunned for a moment, and then said suspiciously: "Young Master, Qiu Wei is coming soon, and you are one of Qiu Wei's sub-exams. They came to submit their papers at this time, just to let you see, young Master.

Take a look at their literary talent, and then give them some guidance during the Qiu Wei Science Examination and let them leave their names on the list."

After a pause, the steward added: "In previous years, when I was the examiner, more people came to submit papers."

After being reminded by the steward, Kou Jicai suddenly remembered that he was also the deputy test taker for the Qiu Wei Science Examination in Bianjing City.

"I was so busy dealing with Jiaozipu that I almost forgot about such an important thing..."

Kou Ji stamped his feet and sighed.

"Jiaozipu?"

The steward looked strange and said: "Young Master, haven't you always stayed at the house to accompany the Young Madam?"

Kou Ji glared at the steward and scolded: "Don't talk too much! Send someone to tell Madam that I am going to the Li Mansion to discuss the Qiu Wei scientific examination, and I will not return home tonight."

Leave this sentence behind.

Under the stunned eyes of the steward, Kou Ji left the Kou Mansion through the secret door.

In order to avoid being regarded as a night trespasser by the inspectors patrolling the streets, Kou Ji hung his waist tag on the donkey's ears and walked unsteadily towards Li's house.

However.

On the way to Li's Mansion, he bumped into seven or eight waves of people from the Inspection Department, but no one came forward to catch him.

Although night has fallen, there are many pedestrians on the street.

There are those who get too drunk and sing in the street while carrying a bottle of wine, there are also those who are wrestling shirtless on the street in the cold weather, and there are those who are lying on the ground and hunched over, saying that they are worms in the trees.

There are all kinds of people.

The inspectors seemed to be unable to see these people; they only arrested those who were drunk and causing trouble on the streets.

Kou Ji stopped a group of patrol officers patrolling the streets.

The soldiers of the Inspection Department took up lanterns and took a photo of Kou Ji. After seeing the badge hanging on the donkey's ear, he quickly bowed and saluted.

"The humble minister and others have met Shangguan."

In fact, they didn't see clearly what was written on Kou Ji's belt. They just vaguely saw the decorations on it and the style of the belt, and they knew he was someone they couldn't afford to offend.

As for the authenticity of the waistband, they had no doubts.

The person who stopped them in the street and shouted at them for questioning was definitely not a fake official.

After Kou Ji waited for them to bow and salute, he asked: "Is King Wu unable to restrain himself tonight?"

The soldier from the Inspection Department was stunned and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid Shangguan hasn't been on the street for a long time, right?"

Kou Ji nodded slowly.

The soldiers of the Inspection Department bowed their hands in the direction of the imperial city and said with a wry smile: "When the late emperor was in power, he imposed curfews many times, but the effect was not good. There were always nobles leading the night, and they couldn't help it.

That is to say, during the period when the late Emperor was ill and in the period after the late Emperor's death, under the strict order of the Grand Master, our brothers from the Inspection Department all dispatched and reluctantly banned it for a period of time.

A few days ago, when Minister Kou got married, the official family took the lead in breaking into the night, and the curfew couldn't be restrained."

Hearing this, Kou Ji said with a bit of laughter and tears: "Okay, I understand, you can continue to do your errands."

The soldiers of the Inspection Department bowed their hands and prepared to leave.

After taking two steps, the leading soldier from the Inspection Department seemed to remember something and caught up with Kou Ji who was swaying forward on his donkey.
