Chapter 0899 A gift to the hero!(1/3)
If they are guilty and unwilling to let their children study, then the Song Dynasty court can consider moving them to the kings' fiefdoms. As for how much killing and evil the kings have committed on their fiefdoms, then
It was not something that officials of the Song Dynasty could interfere with, nor could it be restrained by secular etiquette.
Officials and people of the Song Dynasty called them demons, demon kings, and gods of death, which did not affect their rule over the fiefdom.
After the soldiers who had transformed from the imperial army into local soldiers left with some prisoners.
The people who had been moved here by the imperial court also arrived.
Nearly 800,000 people poured into Liaoyang Mansion in a mighty manner, and Kou Ji looked very sad.
The Song Dynasty was obviously the overlord of the world, but there were still people in the Song Dynasty who were not fully clothed.
A few rags covering the body are considered clothes.
All of them were dirty and skinny and could be blown down by a gust of wind.
They didn't say anything when they met officials. They looked straight at the officials with their round eyes, showing nothing but timidity.
Kou Ji took a few steps towards the people, but the people silently took a few steps back.
Seeing this, Kou Ji angrily glared at Lu Gongzhu, who was responsible for relocating the people, "Where are they refugees from?"
Lu Gongzhu saw the anger in Kou Ji's eyes and answered cautiously, "They are extremely poor people everywhere, not refugees..."
Kou Ji asked coldly, "If you're not a refugee, why don't you even have decent clothes?"
Lu Gongzhu hesitated for a moment and whispered: "I am too poor to buy clothes..."
Kou Ji snorted coldly, "Then why doesn't the court prepare clothes for them? Don't tell me that the court has no money to prepare clothes for them, or I will kill you."
Lu Gongzhu was startled and said hurriedly: "You are so urgent. The court has no time to prepare clothes for them."
Kou Ji gritted his teeth and said, "Then you should at least give them a bath and remove their lice, right? Don't tell me I don't have time."
Mr. Lu made a sad face and admitted his mistake: "This matter was my negligence."
Kou Ji glared at Lu Gong and scolded: "Do you know that their appearance is worse than that of prisoners in the army? We, the Song Dynasty, are rich all over the world, but some of the people under our rule don't even have decent clothes.
How can I, the Great Song Dynasty, have the face to face all nations and call myself the Celestial Empire?
Now, take them immediately to remove their lice, and then go to the military warehouse to get some of the captured cloth and give each of them a pair of decent clothes."
Lu Gongzhu stared at Kou Ji in astonishment, "Making clothes also takes time, and isn't it inappropriate to use the things captured in the army?"
Kou Ji snorted coldly, "Within three days, I want to see that they have decent clothes. I don't have enough time, so I have to think of a way."
As for whether the seizures during the military mobilization are appropriate or not, is it you who has the final say?
If you can't handle this matter well, you can quit the official career just as I asked you to do.
Your father can't protect you either."
Lu Gongzhu's expression changed and he looked humiliated.
Kou Ji shouted: "Why don't you go quickly?!"
Mr. Lu lowered his head and went down to follow Kou Ji's instructions.
After Lu Gongzu left, Zhong Shiheng stepped towards Kou Ji and whispered: "Isn't it inappropriate to embarrass Lu Gongzu and turn against Lu Yijian over such a trivial matter?"
Kou Ji glanced at Zhong Shiheng coldly and said, "We treat prisoners with humanity, but they treat the people of the Song Dynasty like animals. I take it lightly when I trouble them. I didn't chop him, but I already gave him to him."
Lu Yijian lost face."
Zhong Shiheng said dumbfounded: "I'm afraid this matter has nothing to do with Lu Gongzhu. It's not appropriate for you to vent your anger on him."
Kou Ji snorted coldly: "The imperial court doesn't provide cloth, and the imperial court doesn't distribute clothes to the people. What can he do if Mr. Lu does it? The Lu family is also a big family. Even if they can't afford tens of thousands of clothes, they can spend ten or twenty thousand. I also treated him as Mr. Lu and tried my best.
But he didn't take any of Mr. Lu's clothes.
What do the people think of him?
Does he still have any compassion?
How can one be an official without compassion for the people?"
Zhong Shiheng muttered: "No matter how big the Lu family's fortune is, it is still the private property of the Lu family. Public and private affairs cannot be confused."
Kou Ji stared at Zhong Shiheng coldly, "Then after we captured Shangjing City, what about the fabrics in Shangjing City?
I told Chen Lin clearly that except for Yelu Zongzhen's corpse, he was not allowed to touch anything else in Shangjing City.
With Chen Lin's personality, otherwise she wouldn't touch my brow over such a trivial matter.
When Lu Gongzhu led the people to pass by the capital, why didn't he use those fabrics to make clothes for the people?"
Zhong Shiheng hesitated and said: "It is a thief's way to take it without telling anyone."
Kou Ji sarcastically said: "So he didn't even think about submitting a document to me? If he had the people in his heart, he would dare to use those cloths even if he risked beheading.
If Bao Zheng was in charge of this matter, would you believe it or not that he would even dare to kill the cattle and sheep we left in Shangjing City and other places, and then use the skins of those cattle and sheep to make clothes for the people."
Zhong Shiheng sighed and said nothing more.
Kou Ji's words came to this point, and he could no longer open up for Lu Gong.
Kou Ji was right. If Lu Gongzhu cared about the people, he would do something for them no matter what.
But he didn't have the common people in his heart, so the common people looked the same when they came out of the hinterland of the Song Dynasty, and they looked the same when they arrived in Liaoyang Mansion.
Kou Ji didn't have to ask Mr. Lu to try his best to get each of these people decent clothes.
He needed Mr. Lu to act like he was doing things for the people.
Even if he bought thousands of pieces of clothes, Kou Ji wouldn't be so angry.
Of course, based on the matter of clothes, it was a little hasty to conclude that Lu Gongzhu had no common people in his heart.
Because to help people get clothes, other than paying out of their own pockets, all other methods require a little risk.
It is understandable that Mr. Lu did nothing with the thought of doing more and making more mistakes and doing less and making fewer mistakes.
It can help people remove lice and take baths without risk.
Lu Gongzhu didn't even do this, so Kou Ji gave him a comment that he didn't care about the people, which was not an exaggeration.
"You stay here and watch until Mr. Lu helps the people get dressed and get rid of the lice, then let him go back home. Lu Yijian wants his son to be the magistrate of Liaoyang Prefecture and wants to build a Qingyun Ladder for his son. I Just don't let him get what he wants.
If Lu Gongzhu wants to be promoted, he will wait until he has the common people in mind."
Kou Ji gave cold instructions and prepared to leave.
Zhong Shiheng hurriedly said: "There is nothing wrong with Lu Gongzhu. Isn't it inappropriate to offend Lu Yijian by taking away his official career for such a trivial matter?"
Kou Jileng snorted: "Lv Gongzhu has some talent, and coupled with the influence of his Lu family disciples, he will become a high-ranking official in the future.
He has no common people in his heart. If he becomes a high-ranking official, how can the common people do well?
Besides, what if Lu Yijian and Lu Gongzhu were offended to death?
We are crowned kings, but from now on we have to stay in the fiefdom.
Even if the Lu family and his son leave again, can they still come to our fiefdom to take advantage of us?"
Zhong Shiheng was stunned and said with a puzzled look on his face: "After returning to Beijing, you don't plan to stay in Bianjing City? I can't stay in Bianjing City? My Privy Councilor is gone?
Didn't you say you want me to build a ladder for Di Qing?"
Kou Ji pondered for a moment and said, "I will definitely stay in Bianjing, but I'm afraid your privy envoy will be gone."
Zhong Shiheng stared in shock. After a long time, he said in a deep voice: "Yang Wenguang?!"
Kou Ji nodded, "Yang Wenguang did not participate in the conquest of Shangjing City, the Wei Dynasty, the East China Sea Nuzhi, and the war in Goryeo. His contribution was not enough to be crowned king.
After his period of filial piety comes, the official family should promote him to the rank of privy envoy.
After all, Yang Wenguang's appointment as Privy Council is more beneficial to the official family than you and Zhu Neng's appointment as Privy Council."
Zhong Shiheng sighed, "Yang Wenguang got an advantage for nothing."
Kou Ji curled his lips and said: "The official family has given you half your life to run your own fiefdom in a down-to-earth manner, and you are still not happy?
How about we change?"
Zhong Shiheng shook his head decisively, "I am self-aware, and I cannot afford to shoulder your heavy responsibility."
Koji snorted.
Zhong Shiheng pondered: "If you offend the Lu family and his son to death, once Mr. Lu comes to power, will they use the power of the imperial court to suppress us?"
Kou Jileng snorted: "As long as we live, they will never have the courage. When we die, Lu Yijian will probably become a withered skeleton."
As for Lu Gong’s work, let him fight my students first.”
Zhong Shiheng said with a surprised look: "Are you so confident in your students?"
Most of the important ministers of the Renzong Dynasty and the Yingzong Dynasty of the Song Dynasty were snared by Kou Ji. Do you think Kou Ji had any confidence?
Kou Ji glanced at Zhong Shiheng and left with his hands behind his back. He was too lazy to discuss this issue with Zhong Shiheng.
In the next few days, everyone in Liaoyang Mansion was busy making clothes for the people and removing lice.
After the people got rid of the lice and put on decent clothes.
