"Why do you have to hand over something you grabbed based on your ability?"
Gao Chugong shouted angrily.
Kou Ji said with a smile: "It's true that you grabbed the members of Yizijiaozipu with your own ability, but whether you can hold on to them is another matter."
Gao Chuanggong stared at Kou Ji without saying a word.
Kou Ji continued to laugh and said: "The government is very determined to take back the elements of Yizijiaozipu. Anyone who holds the elements of Yizijiaozipu will not end well.
The three families of Mu, Qian and Meng serve as lessons from the past."
Gao Chugong gritted his teeth and said: "My Gao family is not the Mu, Qian, and Meng families. Anyone who wants to touch my Gao family must be prepared to have a tooth broken."
Kou Ji frowned slightly and said thoughtfully: "Is it worth it to go against the official family for the members of Yizijiaozipu?"
Gao Chugong looked a little uncertain and said: "Man is dead for money, and birds are eating me. You can take the members of Yizijiaozipu, why can't I, the Gao family, take it?"
Kou Ji sighed and said: "How many of the thieves of Kuangfu Sheji's artifact met a good end?"
"snort!"
Gao Chugong snorted coldly and said nothing.
Kou Ji shook his head, picked up the wine glass on the table, drank it down in one gulp, then stood up, cupped his hands, and left Chen Lou.
If the words are not speculative, there is no need to continue talking.
After Kou Ji left, Gao Chugong said to himself with a gloomy face: "My Gao family is not the only one who has members of Jiaozipu in the court, but your Kou family also has members. If your Kou family doesn't make friends with you, why would you trick me into doing so? Can your Kou family do it?"
As a member of the Yi Zi Jiao Zi Pu, why can’t I, the Gao family?”
Gao Chugong stopped Kou Ji's bike today mainly to use Kou Ji as a springboard to participate in the management of Yizijiaozipu.
But he didn't expect that before he opened his mouth, Kou Ji had already blocked his way.
Kou Ji naturally knew what Gao Chugong was thinking.
When Gao Chuanggong said the words "Yizijiaozipu", Kou Ji had already guessed Gao Chuanggong's intention of stopping his carriage.
He opened his mouth to admonish Gao Chugong, but Gao Chugong refused to understand.
Kou Ji had no choice but to get up and leave.
After leaving Chenlou, I got on the carriage.
We followed the main road all the way out of Bianjing City and returned to Koufu Courtyard.
The backyard of the other courtyard.
Xiang Yan was holding Kou Tianci and basking in the sun in the yard when she saw Kou Ji and took the initiative to greet him.
Kou Ji stepped forward, took Kou Tianci from Xiang Yan, teased Kou Tianci a few times, and said to Xiang Yan: "Yan'er, go back and withdraw all the stewards from Yizijiaozipu.
I will also withdraw all the money that I have at Yizijiaozipu in my house. I will send someone to transport it away later.
The money-making workshop in Jiangling must also have been withdrawn.
Part of it will be sent to the Ministry of Industry, and Wang Yunsheng will look at the arrangements.
Keep the other part for me to make my own arrangements later."
When Xiang Yan heard this, she was shocked, "My husband is planning to sell off the members of Yizijiaozipu?"
Kou Ji shook his head and said: "It's not selling, but giving it to the officials."
Xiang Yan's expression changed greatly, "The official asked you to hand it over?"
Kou Ji still shook his head and said: "The officials didn't ask me to hand it over, but I was prepared to hand it over on my own initiative."
Hearing this, Xiang Yan breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly: "Since the officials didn't ask you to hand it over voluntarily, it means that the officials allowed you to hand it over to the members of Zipu.
Why do you need to push your money away?"
Kou Ji glanced at Xiang Yan and said calmly: "The Kou Mansion now has a big business, with countless overt and covert industries. Wanxiang Tower, Wanxiang Pawn Shop, and the entire Song Dynasty, the fabrics produced by textile workshops every year
, the values are endless, the entire Song Dynasty can be sold.
These three businesses alone bring a huge amount of money to the Kou government every year.
Steel forging workshops have entered a period of vigorous development, and branches will be established in many places in recent years.
It can bring more money to the Kou government.
Counting the property of the Kou government in Jiangling, Baozhou, Bianjingcheng, Leizhou, Hexi and other places.
The family fortune of Kou Mansion has become so large that it exceeds any other martial arts family in the court."
The properties of Kou Mansion were not only those mentioned by Kou Ji, but also some hidden properties, which Kou Ji did not tell Xiang Yan.
For example, Leizhou Cao used what he and others gained from going to sea every year, such as Zhang Yuan's harvest in Yuanshan Department was dedicated to the Kou government every year, etc.
Kou Ji looked at Xiang Yan and said with a smile: "I'm afraid you can't even calculate how much money the Kou family has now, right?"
Xiang Yan gave a bitter smile and said nothing.
Everyone in the world knows that the Kou Mansion is rich, but no one knows better than Xiang Yan how rich the Kou Mansion is.
Just the amount of money the Kou government earned from minting new coins from old coins was a huge figure, not to mention other businesses.
From the moment Xiang Yan took over the Kou Mansion's business, until now, the number of accounting offices under her has been increasing.
The increase of dozens of people every year still cannot meet the needs of the Kou government.
Seeing Xiang Yan's wry smile, Kou Ji continued: "Money is a good thing, but there is no need to seek too much. Our Kou family is sparsely populated, and even if we squander the money in our hands, we may not be able to use it in a few lifetimes."
Finished.
Therefore, no matter how much money is accumulated, it will not have much effect on our government.
This is a critical business. It is enough for us to control one steel forging workshop. We do not need to control another one."
Xiang Yan heard Kou Ji's words, pondered for a long time, and said, "Ms. sir, something has changed about Yizijiaozipu?"
Kou Ji nodded slowly, "Now the officials hold 60% of the members of Yizhijiaozipu. It is the general trend that the officials have full control over Yizijiaozipu. That idiot Gao Chuanggong is willing to risk his life for money.
Fight to the end with the officials.
The bunch of idiots in the Wei Palace are probably not much smarter than Gao Chuang Gong. They will definitely fight the officials to the end.
The three families of Mu, Qian and Meng have collapsed.
The Gao family and the Wei Palace have taken advantage of it, how can others be willing to do so?
The martial arts warriors had previously supported Gao Chugong's fight with the Prince of Wei, because the martial arts warriors wanted to get a piece of the action.
Now that the benefits are exclusively enjoyed by the Gao family, how can they sit back and watch?
The civil servants in the court who supported the Wei royal family were now purged by the officials.
There are only two or three civil servants left who can help the Wei Palace.
The official family, Wang Zeng, Lu Yijian, Zhang Zhibai, etc., and even me, do not want to see people from the royal family of Wei holding hands with members of Yizijiaozipu.
Do you think the Yizijiaozipu members from the Wei Prince's family can still be retained?
From now on, the fight in the court for the members of Yizijiaozipu will only become more fierce.
If you are not careful, your family will be confiscated and your family will be destroyed.
If those civil and military ministers really get jealous, I am afraid that our government will also be implicated.
It is true that I have a deep relationship with the officials, but if the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty put pressure on the officials together for our sake, the officials would also retreat.
Rather than wait until that time and let the officials and our government be in trouble together, it is better to present the members of Yizijiaozipu as soon as possible and nip all troubles in the cradle."
Xiang Yan said a little aggrievedly: "Then my husband, aren't you very aggrieved? You founded Yizijiaozi Shop with your own hands."
When Kou Ji heard this, he was happy, "Aggrieved? How could I possibly wrong myself? I, Kou Ji, have never done any loss-making business since I entered Bianjing City."
Xiang Yan looked at Kou Ji with confusion.
Kou Ji smiled and said: "Our government has given up such a huge profit and dedicated it to the officials. How could the officials mistreat our government? Even if the officials would mistreat our government out of conscience, none of the officials would do the same."
promise.
In addition, our government has donated members of Yizijiaozipu, so the imperial court must compensate us to some extent, right?
The cloth shops and textile workshops of the three families of Meng, Qian, and Mu, as well as the tens of thousands of acres of mulberry fields and hundreds of embroidery buildings of the three families in Shu, should all be compensated to the Kou Mansion by the imperial court?
Once our Kou government takes over the cloth business of Mu, Qian and Meng families.
Half of the cloth in the entire Song Dynasty will be controlled by our Kou government.
The benefits our government can derive from this are far beyond your imagination."
Xiang Yan lowered her head and thought about Kou Ji's words.
Kou Ji didn't say much. He hugged Kou Tianci and returned to the room.
Not long after, the hearty laughter of father and son Kou Ji and Kou Tianci could be heard in the room.
When Kou Ji first established Yizijiaozipu, he did not think about handing over the members of Yizijiaozipu.
Because he was worried that the members of Yizijiaozipu would fall into the hands of the courtiers and would be abused by the courtiers.
Now that he saw that Zhao Zhen had no intention of handing over Yizijiaozipu to the imperial court, Kou Ji's thoughts on controlling the members of Yizijiaozipu became much less intense.
As long as Yizijiaozipu was not under the control of the imperial court, it would be easy for Kou Ji to do whatever he wanted to do with Yizijiaozipu.
It doesn't make much difference to him whether he controls Yizijiaozipu or not.
Giving up being a member of Yizijiaozipu is nothing more than giving up some benefits.
The Kou government is now unsure of its share of the benefits.
There is no need to take risks for the members of Yizijiaozipu.
That guy, Gao Chuang Gong, made it clear that he wanted to fight for the members of Yizijiaozipu.
A family can be bitten to death if they start a fight.
Kou Ji didn't want the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to bite the Gao family to death, then turn around and find that the Kou family was also in charge of members of Yizijiaozipu, and then pounce on the Kou family.
By that time, all the civil and military officials in the dynasty will be jealous. Who cares whether you are the founder of Yizijiaozipu or not.
Three of the five founders of Yizijiaozipu have already fallen, and it doesn’t matter if one more falls.
After Xiang Yan received Kou Ji's instructions, she started to do it according to Kou Ji's instructions.
Kou Ji didn't pay too much attention, but just reminded Xiang Yan'er to deal with all the traces left by the Kou family in Yizijiaozi shop to avoid unnecessary trouble.
The incident in which the Kou government withdrew its personnel from Yizijiaozipu did not cause much fluctuation in the government and the public.
Everything is going on quietly.
Kou Ji rested at his house all night.
The next day, he entered the palace with the documents signed by Yuan Shanbu and Qingtang.
After entering the palace, I found that Wang Zeng and others had arrived.
Everyone took out the documents together and gained a lot.
Except for the Liao Kingdom and Goryeo, all other envoys signed the covenant established by the Song Dynasty.
Now, all you need to do is wait for the envoys from each group to hand back the documents and replace them with official credentials.
Now that the covenant has been finalized, it's time to start dealing with Xixia.
Inside the Zishi Hall.
Zhao Zhen sat high on the seat and said nothing.
Wang Zeng said with a stern face: "Since Xixia has signed the covenant that we, Song Dynasty, have signed, then we, Song Dynasty, have the right to use the covenant to bind Xixia. According to the terms of the covenant, Xixia should not harbor our imperial invaders from Song Dynasty.
Who do you think is better to search the Xixia Post House?"
Several important ministers looked at each other and thought secretly in their hearts.
Kou Ji pondered for a moment and suggested, "Let Yang Wenguang go there."
"Yang Wenguang?"
Several important ministers were a little surprised.
Wang Zeng wondered: "Why Yang Wenguang?"
Kou Ji smiled and said: "Not too big, not too small, just right."
Wang Zeng was stunned for a moment, pointed at Kou Ji and shook his head in confusion.
He understood the meaning of Kou Ji's words, and several important ministers also understood it.
The person who was sent to search the Xixia Posthouse had a high status and looked up to Xixia too much.
His status is too low, and he can't control the situation.
Yang Wenguang was a Marquis of the Song Dynasty, and Li Deming, the Lord of Xixia, was also a Marquis of the Song Dynasty.
A person with a title equal to that of the Lord of Xixia went to search the Xixia Post House, which not only gave Xixia face, but also saved the court's face.
After deciding on the candidates to search the Xixia Post House, Wang Zeng sent someone to convey the order to the Yang Mansion.
After Yang Wenguang received the decree, he did not hesitate. He immediately led the manpower of the Inspection Department and the Criminal Department, plus 300 soldiers and horses, and rushed to the Xixia Post House.
The entrance of Xixia Posthouse.
After listening to the report from his subordinates, Ye Liyuqiu found out that the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty appeared outside the post house. He hurried out of the gate of the post house and happened to bump into Yang Wenguang, who was about to send someone to knock on the door.
After Ye Li Yuqi saw the elite soldiers behind Yang Wenguang wearing armor and holding swords, he sullenly shouted angrily: "Shangbang is a state of etiquette. Does a state of etiquette use swords and weapons to treat guests?"
As Ye Li Yuqi roared, the Xixia soldiers from the Xixia envoy quickly appeared outside the door of the post house, pulled out their scimitars, and surrounded Ye Li Yuqi.
Yang Wenguang stared at Ye Li Yuqi, and walked forward expressionlessly, walking all the way to the scimitar of the Xixia soldier at the front, and stopped when the scimitar touched his armor.
Seeing this, the Xixia soldiers looked at each other, but did not dare to move.
Because behind Yang Wenguang, three hundred elite soldiers were holding crossbows and aiming at everyone at the entrance of the post house.
Yang Wenguang seemed to have not seen those Xixia soldiers, staring at Ye Liyu and begging: "Who are you?"
Ye Li Yu Qi gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "The Great Xia Envoy is an envoy, Ye Li Yu Qi..."
Yang Wenguang nodded slowly and asked, "Who are you, Ye Li Wangrong?"
Yeli Yuqi said with a little sadness and anger: "My brother..."
Yang Wenguang nodded again and said calmly: "I cut off his head. He killed him with one knife. The blood splashed all over my face."
Yeli Yuqi's eyes turned red in an instant. He stared at Yang Wenguang, wishing he could eat Yang Wenguang alive.
But he didn't speak or move.
Yang Wenguang saw that Ye Li Yuqi was motionless, staring at him with red eyes, and nodded with slight admiration, "You are not controlled by your own anger, you are very good."
After a pause, Yang Wenguang put his hands behind his back and said calmly: "Xixia is a vassal of my Song Dynasty. Li Deming, the leader of Xixia, is a marquis who canonized me as a marquis in the Song Dynasty. I am also a marquis canonized by the Song Dynasty.
According to the rank, we are equal; according to the title, we are the same.
In this case, why are you disrespectful when you see me?"
