Kou Ji stared at Chen Lin with a gloomy face and asked questions.
Chen Lin glanced at him and said calmly: "You don't want an official wedding to be too shabby, right?"
"Of course I don't want to..."
Kou Ji said without thinking.
When he got married, Zhao Zhen almost blew up Ma Xing Street with firecrackers.
Although Zhao Zhen's behavior was a bit childish, Kou Ji felt his thoughts.
If Zhao Zhen was getting married, he naturally didn't want it to be too shabby.
But after he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that there seemed to be something wrong with Chen Lin's words.
Kou Ji said with some suspicion: "As far as I know, every year the imperial court transfers about two million guan from the national treasury to the inner treasury, plus some vassal tributes accumulated in the inner treasury, there should be a lot of money in the inner treasury, right?"
?
There is so much money, but it’s not enough for the official family to hold a big wedding?”
Chen Lin narrowed her eyes, looked at Kou Ji, and snorted coldly: "It's not like our family is in charge of the inner treasury alone."
Kou Ji raised his eyebrows.
Chen Lin's words were full of profound meaning, but Kou Ji did not ask further questions.
From what Chen Lin said, Kou Ji analyzed that 80% of the money in the inner treasury had been tampered with, and the amount was quite large.
Only Zhao Zhen and Liu E were able to use the money in the inner treasury.
Since Zhao Zhen did not move, it must be Liu E who used the money in the inner treasury.
Liu E suddenly moved a large amount of money. What he did needs to be investigated carefully.
Kou Ji stared at Chen Lin and said: "Even if the official family has a big wedding, it will be at the end of next autumn. Guangnan's money will not be needed by then. The money earned from Jiaozi Shop alone will be enough for the official family to hold a grand wedding.
.
It's just that when the time comes to distribute the profit from Jiaozipu, you have to watch out for the officials.
Don’t let anyone else take it from you.”
Chen Lin said coldly: "Our family has suffered a loss once, and we will never suffer a second time."
Kou Ji nodded slowly.
Chen Lin stared at Kou Ji and said, "There is something we think we need to remind you of."
"What's up?"
Kou Ji questions.
Chen Lin said surreptitiously: "Since the Queen Mother lost power, Guo Huai's man went to the Cao Mansion very frequently. I heard that he squeezed a lot of money from the Cao Mansion."
Kou Ji said in astonishment: "Cao Mansion will give him money?"
Kou Ji felt that Chen Lin was teasing him.
Guo Huai really wants to go to Cao Wei's house to ask for money. Cao Wei can beat the shit out of him.
Chen Lin's old face darkened and she glared: "What we are talking about is the Cao Mansion where Cao Liang is located."
As soon as these words came out.
Kou Ji looked strange.
As we all know, Cao Lili was Liu E's confidant.
Guo Huai was also Liu E's personal eunuch.
Liu E's personal official, looking for Liu E's confidants to extract money?
No matter how you hear it, how do you think it is a joke?
Chen Lin saw Kou Ji's strange expression and said with a dark face: "You think we are joking with you? What we are telling you is the truth."
Kou Ji had doubts in his heart, but he said: "If you are willing to tell me this, you must have checked it out in advance, and you will definitely not make fun of me. I just think that a personal eunuch of the Queen Mother would find a confidant of the Queen Mother to exploit
Money, for what? What do you want?"
Chen Lin's expression softened a bit and she said calmly: "How do we know? We just don't want to explore the Queen Mother's thoughts, so we tell you about this and let you find a way to find out."
Kou Ji nodded thoughtfully.
"I will find a way to investigate."
After saying this, the two of them stopped talking.
Because Zhao Zhen had already inspected Jiaozi Pu and returned to the third floor.
As soon as he entered the third floor, he asked Kou Ji with some surprise, "The printing technique used by your printer..."
Kou Ji smiled and said: "Secret..."
Zhao Zhen was stunned and said with a smile: "Then I won't ask."
Kou Ji nodded, and when he saw that the time was almost up, he reminded Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen generously sent Chen Lin to deliver the order and approved the opening.
Amidst the sound of firecrackers.
Mu Chong unveiled the signboard of Yizijiaozi Shop.
Pedestrians on the road stopped to watch one by one.
It's just that not many of them understand what Jiaozi is.
So I just stood aside and watched the fun.
A few moments.
After the firecrackers have finished burning.
Mu Chong had someone put up a notice in front of Jiaozi's shop, explaining the uses of Jiaozi in general.
There were very few scholars in the Song Dynasty, but there were many scholars in Bianjing City. Some scholars who would attend the Spring Festival next year had already arrived in Bianjing City.
Therefore, there are many literate people in the crowd.
After the notice on Jiaozipu was posted.
Someone read it loudly to others around them.
Soon, the onlookers all knew the purpose of Jiaozi.
Many pedestrians sneered at this, thinking that spending money to store money in Jiaozi shops was a pure waste of money.
Isn’t it good to live at home?
It doesn't cost anything and doesn't take up much space.
Therefore, after an hour passed when Jiaozi Shop opened, no one went to Jiaozi Shop to deposit money.
Third floor.
Chen Lin stared at the crowd downstairs and said sarcastically to Kou Ji: "It seems that the people are very smart and will not be fooled by your little tricks."
Kou Ji glanced sideways at Chen Lin but said nothing.
He called Lu Ming, whispered in Lu Ming's ear, and Lu Ming hurried downstairs.
After a while.
A carriage filled with copper coins appeared at Jiaozi Puqian.
The man dressed as a businessman sitting on the shaft of the carriage bowed his hands to the steward of Jiaozi Shop and asked someone to carry the copper coins into Jiaozi Shop.
"I spent my own money to find someone to show off... hehe..."
Chen Lin mocked.
Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen both glanced sideways at Chen Lin.
Chen Lin was stunned and smiled bitterly.
He was only focused on finding trouble for Kou Ji, but he forgot that Zhao Zhen was the biggest owner of Jiaozi Pu.
If Jiaozipu has no money to make, Zhao Zhen will also have no money to make.
Can Zhao Zhen be happy?
Chen Lin quickly apologized to Zhao Zhen and said, "I made a mistake..."
Zhao Zhen snorted and ignored him.
He continued to stare downstairs.
After the first carriage arrived at Jiaozi Pu, the following carriages began to arrive in front of Jiaozi Pu.
Carloads of copper coins were delivered to Jiaozipu.
When the tenth carload of copper coins arrived at Jiaozipu, the faces of the people watching no longer looked like they were watching the excitement, but instead had expressions of astonishment on their faces.
When the fiftieth carload of copper coins arrived at Jiaozipu.
The people in Bianjing City were shocked.
Some wealthy families were also shocked.
Fifty cartloads of copper coins is a huge amount.
What's more important is that after the fifty carts of copper coins were transported into Jiaozi's shop, there were still carriages coming outside Jiaozi's shop.
Looking from the door of Jiaozipu along the carriage, there is no end in sight.
Some wealthy people immediately dispatched their stewards to Jiaozipu to investigate the situation.
When the one hundredth cartload of copper coins was transported into Jiaozipu.
Everyone in Bianjing City was shocked.
The heads of wealthy families couldn't sit still.
All civil and military officials could not sit still.
Kou Zhun in Zishi Hall couldn't sit still either.
Even Liu E, who was hibernating in the palace, could not sit still.
Horses and sedan chairs appeared outside Jiaozi Shop one by one.
The street in front of Jiaozipu instantly filled up.
All the dignitaries could not move their eyes away when they looked at the carriage filled with copper coins.
Chen Lin looked at the familiar faces that gradually appeared, with a look of astonishment on her face.
"It's really...the money is really touching..."
Zhao Zhen stared at the familiar faces downstairs with an unspeakable feeling in his heart.
He looked at Kou Ji with a slightly deep look and said, "Were they not so active when they went to court?"
Kou Ji seemed to have expected such a scene, so he didn't have any extreme expression on his face. He just smiled calmly and said: "This is the charm of money..."
Zhao Zhen nodded thoughtfully and continued to look down.
In front of Jiaozi Pu.
Wang Qinruo and Li Shen gathered together and stared at the carts of copper coins.
Wang Qinruo said with greedy eyes: "Who has such a huge amount of money?"
There was no greed in Li Zhen's eyes. He just looked at the carts of copper coins and said thoughtfully: "It is said that he is a businessman from Sichuan..."
Wang Qinruo chuckled, "Such a huge amount of money is only worthy of a businessman."
Li Zhen nodded in agreement and said: "It should be left to my Third Division to take charge. If our Third Division can take charge of this money, many things will not require such laborious planning."
Wang Qinruo looked at Li Zhen and smiled knowingly.
Li Zhen looked at Wang Qinruo and said, "I heard that you have an old friend who works in the Inspection Department. Let them test the water and see how deep the water is in Jiaozi Shop and who is behind it."
Wang Qinruo said with a smile: "On the way here, I heard someone say that the kid from the Kou Mansion is related to this Jiaozi Pu."
When Li Zhen heard this, he smiled coldly and said, "I'm afraid you and I are not the only ones who are thinking about such a big piece of meat.
Let people test the water first and set an example for those who are waiting to see.
As long as people care about this piece of meat, they will flock to it.
We will have the opportunity to reap the benefits.
When the time comes, let alone the kid from the Kou Mansion, even if Kou Zhun comes forward, he can't stop us from taking the money."
Wang Qinruo said with a bright smile: "Kou Zhun would not dare to offend all the nobles...unless he has ulterior motives..."
Li Zhen smiled and nodded.
However.
Just as the two of them said, after seeing such a piece of fat appear, they were not the only ones who were thinking about them.
Not far from them.
Gong Gao, Cao Wei stood side by side.
Gao Chugong stared at the huge amount of copper coins, squinted his eyes, and whispered: "Who is the owner of Jiaozipu?"
Cao Wei did not hide anything and said bluntly: "It is said that it is Kou Ji and several businessmen from Shu."
Others don't know the details of Jiaozipu, but Cao Wei knows a little bit about it. After all, Cao Ji hangs out with Kou Ji all day long. People in the Cao Mansion have been paying attention to Kou Ji. Kou Ji went to Jiaozipu several times. Cao Mansion
people also know.
The three of them, Mu Chong, are just businessmen. If they dare to take out so much money at once, they must have something to rely on.
So it's easy to think of Kou Ji.
When Gao Chugong heard this, he thought thoughtfully and said, "That kid Kou Ji is too bold. If you spend so much money at once, you don't have to worry about others thinking about it."
Cao Wei looked at Gao Zhanggong with a half-smile, and said, "Are you concerned about me?"
Gao Chugong rolled his eyes and glanced at Cao Wei, "Don't you care about me?"
Cao Wei smiled calmly and said: "That kid Kou Ji always has a way of doing things. If he dares to take out so much money, he must have the means to keep it. I know him, so I am not greedy for this money."
The higher-up man laughed mockingly and said nothing.
He didn't believe that Cao Wei was not moved by the money.
How did he know that Cao Mansion had already placed a bet on Kou Ji.
Now Cao Yi first got a stake in the Wanxiang Building, and then got a stake in the textile workshop being built outside the city.
There is no need to say more about whether the members of Wanxiang Tower are worth the money.
Everyone in Bianjing City who is greedy for money secretly calculates Wanxiang Tower's annual profit.
Know how profitable Wanxiang Tower is.
The textile workshops outside the city are large in scale and use homeless people who don't have to spend any money. It would be strange if they don't make money.
The members of the Wanxiang Building and the textile workshop alone have already made the Cao Mansion well fed.
How could Cao Wei break up with Kou Ji and rush into Jiaozipu to fight with others?
Although the money Cao Yi earns now will not go into the Cao Mansion's treasury, it is still the Cao Mansion's money.
Cao Wei and Gao Zhanggong each had their own plans in mind, and they didn't say much where they stood.
He stood for a long time.
Gao Chugong's eyes suddenly widened and he cursed in a low voice, "This mallet..."
Cao Wei followed the news and saw a dandy, leading a bunch of thugs, rushing into Jiaozi's shop.
He also cursed secretly.
"It's really a stick..."
The dandy who broke into Jiaozi Shop.
The two of them also knew each other, they were Shi Xiaosun, the second son of the second wife of the Shi family.
His father was Shi Baoji, the second son of Shi Shouxin, the Duke of Xiping County, and his mother was the eldest princess of Jin State, the second daughter of Taizu.
Relying on the support of his ancestors, he got a job as a treasury envoy in Zuozang, Xijing, and received a salary.
He hangs out in Bianjing city on weekdays and is a famous libertine.
This guy is also used to being domineering. When he sees the huge amount of money, he can't hold back his hands. He doesn't even check the person's feet, so he goes into battle naked and breaks in.
He is not Bang Chui, who is Bang Chui?
When Shi Xiaosun entered Jiaozi Shop, Qian Le took the initiative to greet him and asked with a smile: "Do you want to save some money?"
Shi Xiaosun said carelessly: "Where is your boss? I have a big business to discuss with your boss."
Qian Le was stunned, looked Shi Xiaosun up and down, and then glanced at the domineering scoundrels behind Shi Xiaosun, and immediately guessed that this person was here to cause trouble.
He didn't reveal his identity to show off his identity, but said with a smile: "Our boss is on the third floor. I'll find someone to take you up."
"Why don't you hurry up?!"
Shi Xiaosun urged loudly.
Qian Le asked someone to take Shi Xiaosun up to the second floor.
When they arrived at the stairs on the second floor, the guards guarding the stairs stopped Shi Xiaosun.
"You can't go up there!"
The guards spoke coldly.
Shi Xiaosun sneered and said: "There is no place in Bianjing that I can't go to. Get out of here if you are wise, or I will have you thrown out."
"Let him come up."
Kou Ji stuck out his head from the stairs on the third floor and gave instructions with a smile.
Shi Xiaosun led people into Jiaozipu, where Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen could see clearly.
I also guessed that this guy was here to cause trouble.
So Koji specially asked someone to put him up, preparing to give him a surprise.
Shi Xiaosun was slightly startled when he saw Kou Ji, but he was not afraid of Kou Ji.
He is a serious relative of the emperor, so there is no need to be afraid of Kou Ji.
Moreover, his mother is still alive. Even if he makes a big fuss, no one can do anything to him with his mother protecting him.
Shi Xiaosun snorted coldly at the guards and stepped up the stairs.
The dog-legger behind him was stopped at the top of the stairs.
He ordered the henchmen, "You just stay here. Young Master, I am also a person of status. The owner of Jiaozi Shop does not dare to do anything to me."
After saying this, Shi Xiaosun abandoned the henchmen and continued to climb the stairs.
As he walked, he asked Kou Ji, "Are you the owner of Jiaozipu?"
Kou Ji said with a smile: "So...but not the big boss..."
