I can only put on a bright smile and say: "As long as you are happy..."
Kou Zhun snorted with satisfaction.
"Our grandparents have made such a fuss, and now we are stepping away from it, but Liu E's plan may not be straight forward. I wonder how you plan to deal with it?"
After chatting about casual things, it’s natural to talk about serious matters.
It seems that no one mentioned Liu E's plan among the grandparents, but they always remembered it in their hearts.
Now that I have some free time to discuss it, I naturally want to make it clear.
Kou Ji spread his hands and said, "What else can be done? Liu E's plan was probably completed by Xia Song and Wang Qinruo. These two people have been in the officialdom for many years and are already proficient in calculating people. They will not reveal any flaws at all.
Let's catch it.
So we can only wait patiently until they are about to succeed, and then we can strike out and be like the oriole."
Kou Zhun frowned, his face no longer showing the unscrupulous look he had on his face. He said solemnly: "Once Liu E forces Zhao Yuanyan to cause trouble, many people will probably die."
Kou Jizheng said solemnly: "On this point, my thoughts are consistent with Liu E's. Instead of waiting for Zhao Yuanyan to accumulate strength to start a rebellion and usurp the throne, it is better to help him rebel as soon as possible.
If he keeps leading but does not respond, he will be like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, always making people feel chilled and uncomfortable.
It would be better to get him to cause trouble as soon as possible and wipe it out in one fell swoop.
Moreover, if Zhao Yuanyan was allowed to gather the strength to start an uprising on his own, it would probably take a long time.
If it takes too long, the people he recruits will easily become loyal to him through his various courtesy and corporal methods.
When the time comes, if he starts to cause trouble again, more people will die."
Kou Zhun frowned and said, "Can't we find a way to strangle him before he gets into trouble?"
Kou Ji smiled bitterly and said: "Grandpa, I am a human being, not a god. Many things cannot happen as you wish. Zhao Yuanyan is also a direct prince. As long as he does not raise the flag of rebellion, who can do anything to him?
As far as his current actions are concerned, even if they are exposed, they are not fatal.
If it was framed and framed, if someone saw the flaw and publicized it, Zhao Yuanzuo might not be able to sit still.
If that person makes a fuss, Bianjing City will give him some relief."
Hearing this, Kou Zhun smiled bitterly.
According to Zhao Yuanzuo's temperament, if he knew that someone was framed to frame Zhao Yuanyan, Bianjing City would probably be in turmoil.
"That's all..."
Kou Zhun sighed feebly, "If something can't be done, there's no need to force it. Just do what you want. When you need me to step in, just speak up.
I have already told Zhu Neng to fully cooperate with you."
"Thank you, grandpa..."
Kou Ji bowed his hands and saluted.
Kou Zhun looked at Kou Ji disdainfully, "You'd better put on your clothes and salute me again."
Kou Ji didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said, "You don't blame me for this."
Kou Zhun snorted coldly and said, "I'm going out..."
"grandfather!"
When Kou Ji saw that Kou Zhun was about to leave, he immediately called out to Kou Zhun and said, "Grandpa, I intend to deal with some of the family's properties. Do you have any opinions?"
Kou Zhun waved his hand without looking back and said: "I have given the key to the treasury to Yan'er. From now on, you and your wife will be in charge of the Kou Mansion. You can do whatever you want without asking me."
I don’t need the family’s money to live.”
When Kou Ji heard this, he couldn't laugh or cry.
Kou Ji also informed Kou Zhun of the matter out of respect, but he did not expect that Kou Zhun would speak so grandly.
What Kou Zhun said is true.
He really doesn't care about the money in the house.
Even if Kou Ji ruined all the Kou Mansion's property and made the Kou Mansion bankrupt.
Kou Zhun couldn't be hungry either.
Although Kou Zhun has left the center now, his treatment is almost as good as that of Zhao Yuanzuo.
As long as the Song Dynasty does not fall, he will never have to worry about going hungry.
Don’t worry about running out of money to spend.
After Kou Zhun left.
Kou Ji got up, washed up, and took Xiang Yan with him to the main hall of the courtyard.
The managers of various businesses in the Kou Mansion had gathered in the main hall after being informed by Kou Zhong.
Under Kou Ji's shock.
Xiang Yan took stock of the properties in the house. Except for the Wanxiang Building, Wanxiang Pawn Shop, Yizijiaozi Shop, textile workshop, and forging steel workshop, the other properties were integrated together. She calculated a reasonable price and waited for Cao Cao.
The government brings money to receive it.
In this regard, the managers of various businesses were quite critical.
He kept begging Kou Ji to take back his life.
Kou Ji turned a deaf ear to this.
No mercy.
The Kou Mansion's industry is large enough and its business is complex enough.
Therefore, there are many tricks in various industries.
Among the stewards, there are very few who are truly clean.
For those who were really clean, Kou Ji had already sent Kou Zhong to give them a message, so naturally they wouldn't say anything.
Therefore, most of those who speak are unclean.
It's not just relying on the reputation of the Kou Mansion to act arrogantly outside.
He secretly embezzled some money from the Kou government.
When Xiang Yan took over the Kou Mansion's business before, she cleaned up a lot of them.
However, the managers of various businesses did not clean up the business ruthlessly.
Because they control the lifeblood of various businesses in the Kou Mansion, if they clean them up ruthlessly, it will have an impact on the Kou Mansion.
Now that Kou Ji takes action, he naturally has to clean it up.
Kou Ji thought that they had done a lot for the Kou government for many years and had some merit, so he did not kill them all.
Just kick them out of the bandit's house and let them fend for themselves.
The managers of various businesses begged for a long time, but could not get Kou Ji to take back his life, so they had no choice but to accept his fate like a concubine.
It took three full days.
After cleaning up all the industries.
Kou Ji let the stewards leave the house.
After they leave.
Kou Ji told Kou Zhong, "Send someone to keep an eye on them secretly. If anyone is ignorant and uses this to ruin the reputation of Kou Mansion, teach them a lesson. If anyone takes advantage of the bad debts they incurred while taking care of business,
If bad debts go to the mining camp, then all of them will be sent to the Imperial City Department.
I will give Liu Heng a good greeting, and when the time comes, he will use the power of the Imperial City Division to make these people disappear forever."
Kou Zhong received Kou Ji's instructions and immediately went down to send people to do things.
For the sake of the love between master and servant, Kou Ji did not want to kill them all.
But if they didn't care about the relationship between master and servant and turned their backs on the Lord to seek glory, he wouldn't mind sending them to the West.
After Kou Ji counted the properties of Kou Mansion and confirmed the amount that could be delivered, he sent someone to Cao Mansion to inform Cao Yi.
After Cao Wei returned home that day and told Cao Wei and his father about the Kou Mansion's intention to change the business, Cao Wei only thought about it for a while and agreed.
Kou Ji intended to give money to the Cao family, so Cao Wei had no reason not to agree.
Cao Wei didn't think that Kou Ji would plot against the Cao Mansion on such a matter.
With Kou Zhun, Kou Ji's ancestors and grandson's current status, they would not be able to manipulate some small amounts of money to scheme against Cao's family.
The Cao Mansion quickly sent someone to give Kou Ji a reply, and he could only finish the inventory of Kou Mansion's properties.
After the inventory of the Kou Mansion's properties was completed, Kou Ji sent someone to deliver a message to Cao Yi.
On the second day, Cao Yi arrived at Ruian Villa where Kou Ji was staying.
Entered the main hall of Kou Mansion.
Cao Yi took a box from Chang Sui and pushed it in front of Kou Ji.
"Two million three hundred and fifty thousand dollars has been deposited into Yizijiaozi shop, and there are deposit checks inside."
Since the emergence of Yizijiaozipu, many large-scale transactions have got rid of the scene of huge cash transactions.
There are no more carriages filled with copper coins in Bianjing City.
After the reputation of Jiaozi in Yizijiaozi Shop was recognized, most people decisively chose to use Jiaozi for large-scale transactions.
The emergence of Yizijiaozipu.
It not only solves the trouble of large-scale transactions, but also makes some private and shady transactions and bribery more convenient.
Kou Ji opened the box casually, glanced at the Jiaozi inside, and handed it to Xiang Yan who was standing aside.
"You go down first."
Xiang Yan nodded, held the box, and left the main hall.
Kou Ji handed a box on the table to Cao Yi.
It contains the land deeds and house deeds of all the properties that the Kou Mansion wants to abandon, as well as the personal deeds of many people who have signed long-term contracts with the Kou Mansion.
Cao Ji took the box without looking at it, handed it to the attendant behind him, and asked him to take it back to the mansion.
The reason why Cao Yi didn't look at it was because all the properties of the Kou Mansion were visible.
The Kou Mansion had already handed a series of lists to the Cao Mansion.
The Cao Mansion is also ready to receive it.
After the Cao Mansion got the contract, all they had to do was accept it.
If there is really a shortage or shortage, you can definitely find Kou Ji.
When Kou Ji and Cao Yi were left in the main hall.
Cao Yi walked over to Kou Ji and sat down beside him, and said plaintively: "Fourth brother, you have to help me."
Kou Ji smiled and said, "Can't you stay idle?"
Cao Yi nodded and sighed: "I don't have anything real to do now, and I have nothing to do. I can't live in the house all day like a worm. When I think about how I have to live like this,
For decades, I have wanted to die."
"Help me, fourth brother!"
Kou Ji pondered for a moment and said: "Yizijiaozi shop still needs a strong manager. Do you want to give it a try?"
Cao Yi's eyes widened for a moment, and he said in shock: "Yi Zi Jiao Zi Pu?"
No wonder Cao Yi wasn't shocked.
Yizijiaozipu is now growing bigger and bigger, and the amount of money stored has long exceeded many people's imagination.
The money has already exceeded the control of the imperial court.
If it weren't for the big boss Zhao Zhen, I'm afraid the dignitaries in Bianjing City would have swarmed up and swallowed up everything.
Cao Ji was not surprised that Kou Ji was willing to let Cao Ji take charge of such an important place.
In Cao Ji's shocked eyes, Kou Ji smiled and said: "Of course..."
Cao Yi's face burst into ecstasy.
But he heard Kou Ji say again: "But not now..."
The smile on Cao Yi's face disappeared instantly, and he said angrily: "Fourth brother, are you kidding me?"
Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said: "The official family is the big owner of Yizijiaozi Shop, and we need to ask the official family for instructions on this matter. Besides, even if the official family and I agree, now you are in charge of Yizijiaozi Shop."
Zipu, do you dare to go?"
Cao Yan said seriously: "Why don't you dare?"
Kou Ji curled his lips and said: "You really don't dare... The money saved in Yizijiaozi's shop is beyond your imagination. Such a huge amount of money is handed over to you, a man with a general background. Do you think that the civil and military talents of the whole dynasty are so powerful?"
rest assured?"
Cao Ji opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything to refute Kou Ji.
He sighed dejectedly and said in a low voice: "So... I have no chance to take charge of Yizijiaozipu. Are you just teasing me?"
Kou Ji smiled and said: "That's not true...as long as your Cao family can prove your loyalty to the officials again, the officials will help you deal with the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty."
Cao Yi's face darkened, "My grandfather, my eldest uncle, my second uncle, and my third uncle, which one did not shed the last drop of blood for the Song Dynasty? My fourth uncle has hundreds of large and small scars on his body, which is not enough to explain that I, Cao
Is the family loyal to the official family?
Countless of my Cao family’s descendants died on the battlefield, don’t the officials know about it?”
Kou Ji rolled his eyes, "The achievements of your Cao family are known to both the government and the public. But you should also understand the principle of once the emperor and the ministers. Nowadays, the officials are not very old. If they want to intimidate the officials, they need to be like you."
The Cao family showed their loyalty and support for the official family in such a significant way. Only in this way can the official family's authority be deepened.
The reason why you, the Cao family, are asked to show your loyalty is not for the officials to see, but for the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty.
In this way, when the officials favor your Cao family in the future, they will have reasons to argue with the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty."
After listening to Kou Ji's words, Cao Ji understood what Kou Ji was thinking. He said dejectedly: "Now that the world is at peace, unless we take the initiative to provoke a war, how can I, the Cao family, show loyalty?"
Kou Ji smiled and said: "Don't worry, it will be available soon."
Cao Yi looked at Kou Ji in shock, "What do you mean?"
Kou Ji smiled lightly and said: "If what I predict is correct, the imperial court will soon implement a decree to streamline the Xiang army in the hinterland of the Central Plains. Since your Cao family has accepted the certificate of surrender, why don't you do it more thoroughly?"
Cao Yi's face changed and he whispered: "No! My Cao family bows to the court behind their back because they don't want to have a dispute with the court. At the same time, they don't want to see the old, weak, sick and disabled being driven to the battlefield again.
In the final analysis, the reason why our Cao family made the concession was entirely because my fourth uncle sympathized with the soldiers and did not want to see our military system in the Song Dynasty become so corrupt that it would lead to defeat in foreign wars.
But our Cao family can only do this secretly, but we cannot make it known to the public.
Otherwise, there will be no place for our Cao family to gain a foothold among the military honors.
Our Cao family will never be the target of public criticism."
Kou Ji nodded slowly, he just asked tentatively, what if the Cao family agreed?
Cao Yi's answer was also what Kou Ji had expected.
"Since your Cao family is unwilling to come forward, you can only make other plans... But if you make other plans, your Cao family will have to make great efforts. I wonder if your Cao family is willing to do so?"
Cao Yi was stunned, frowned and said, "What Dali?"
Kou Ji smiled and said: "I have to sacrifice some parts..."
Cao Yi frowned.
He didn't dare to make the decision, and he couldn't make the decision when it came to making plans with his own life.
Not only him, but also his father, the newly promoted head of state, cannot make the decision.
From top to bottom in the Cao Mansion, only Cao Wei is qualified to make the decision.
The song is the foundation of a general.
The generals must not only rely on them to control the troops and horses and fight on the battlefield; they must also rely on them to protect their families; they must also rely on them to prevent the royal family from being exterminated.
