Since Kou Ji agreed to accept Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong as students and also agreed to let them study in Wenchang Academy, there would be nothing to do without them in the study.
Despite their illustrious reputation in the history books, they are now just two young boys who can be crushed and rounded by others.
Cai Qi just waved his hand, and the two young boys wisely exited Kou Ji's study.
After the two young boys left.
Kou Ji picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and asked with a smile: "Is there anything else, Mr. Cai?"
Cai Qi nodded solemnly.
He is a bit unruly in private, but when it comes to serious business, he is serious and serious.
"There are still many things I don't understand here in Jiaozhi, and I need to ask you for advice."
Kou Ji was stunned.
Cai Qi continued: "I am going to Jiaozhi to help me in the Song Dynasty to guard the big granary of Jiaozhi. But I don't know the customs of Jiaozhi, nor do I know how to plant or harvest Jiaozhi's crops.
After all, the difference between three crops a year and four crops a year should be very different from the rice of the Song Dynasty.
Please clarify which place has three crops a year and which place has four crops a year.
If I could know more about Jiaozhi, I wouldn't be blinded after I go there.
If I can know more about Jiaozhi, I can build granaries as soon as possible after I go there, so that the people of my Song Dynasty will starve to death less often."
Kou Ji greatly admired Cai Qi's spirit of holding a high position, having profound knowledge, and not being ashamed to ask questions from his subordinates.
Before Cai Qi came, he must have learned some information about Jiaozhi at Honglu Temple.
It was completely unnecessary for him to tell Cai Qi those false words.
Cai Qi showed an attitude of not being ashamed to ask questions, obviously hoping that he could give him some information.
Kou Ji said with a smile: "Cai Gong is joking. Cai Gong is working hard for me, the people of the Song Dynasty, and I can't hide my secrets. Although I have never been to Jiaozhi, people in my house have always had business dealings with Jiaozhi.
There are also some who live in Cochin all year round.
Later, when Cai Gong rushes to Jiaozhi, I will select one or two from them and let them follow Cai Gong.
In addition, I also handed over some of the terroirs of Jiaozhi and the habits of Jiaozhi's crops that they have sorted out over the years."
While talking, Kou Ji stood up, took a book from the bookshelf behind him, and handed it to Cai Qi.
After Cai Qi got it, he couldn't wait to read it.
Since Kou Ji had been concerned about Jiaozhi a long time ago, he sent people to collect all the information about Jiaozhi a long time ago.
Mountains, rivers, geography, trees, flowers, animals, etc. were all recorded in detail.
Nearly 100,000 people helped Kou Ji collect information in Jiaozhi, so Kou Ji had the most comprehensive information on Jiaozhi.
Even Cao Yongli, who is now in control of Jiaozhi, does not have as complete information as he has.
When Cai Qi was flipping through the information, Kou Ji smiled and said: "There are a total of twenty-one books about Jiaozhi, and this is just one of them.
I will send someone to deliver all twenty-one books to your house later."
Cai Qi didn't even raise his head or reply.
He has been deeply attracted by the book given by Kou Ji.
The things recorded in the book given by Kou Ji were far more comprehensive than he imagined.
The book not only has text, but also illustrations.
The illustrations are vivid and combined with the text, people can easily understand everything about Jiaozhi.
When Kou Ji saw that Cai Qi ignored him, he knew that this kind of person who was obsessed with work had already devoted his attention to Jiaozhi through the book he gave him, and had no time to agree to him.
Kou Ji didn't bother either.
He stood up and walked out of the study, giving instructions to the servant at the door.
"I'm afraid Mr. Cai will stay here tonight. Find someone to take care of you in turn."
The servant agreed and hurried to find someone.
Kou Ji then said to Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong who were guarding the door: "You two, don't stand here anymore. There is a row of wing rooms in the west of the courtyard, with everything in them. You choose one to live in."
Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong bowed respectfully to Kou Ji.
"Yes... sir..."
Kou Ji waved his hand, dismissed them, and walked away from the place.
Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong looked at each other after Kou Ji left. There was ecstasy, doubt, and fighting spirit in their eyes.
Zeng Gong was the first to speak, "What do you think of our gentleman?"
Wang Anshi pondered for a moment and said, "The laughter, anger and curses are all on his face."
Zeng Gong looked at Wang Anshi in confusion and asked, "What kind of evaluation is this?"
Wang Anshi clasped his hands behind his back like a young adult and said with emotion: "There are not many people above me in the Song Dynasty who can laugh, laugh and curse on their faces.
Counting our husband, there are only two of us."
Zeng Gong instantly understood the meaning of Wang Anshi's words.
Wang Anshi was telling him that Kou Ji could do whatever he wanted.
And in the field of power, those who can do whatever they want are those who are at the pinnacle of power.
Zeng Gong praised: "Sir, he is in the position of prime minister at a young age, so he is naturally outstanding."
Wang Anshi sighed: "Not only is there something extraordinary..."
Zeng Gong asked again: "What do you mean?"
Wang Anshi said frankly: "I thought he would turn me away because of my origin, but I didn't expect that he didn't ask about my origin at all."
Zeng Gong muttered: "Maybe he already knew..."
Wang Anshi laughed and said: "My father is just a small county magistrate. When we get to Bianjing City, we can't even enter his gate."
Zeng Gong stared at Wang Anshi and said, "You mean, his acceptance of us has nothing to do with family status?"
Wang Anshi nodded and said: "There is a popular rumor among the people that he accepted Di Qing as his adoptive brother because the noble daughter of the Cao family had long valued Di Qing and specifically asked him to promote Di Qing's identity.
Now it seems that it is unfair.”
Zeng Gong nodded and said: "It is indeed unfair. But saying that he refused to accept King Shou can't be false. My father said that if Cao Gong hadn't left a legacy before he died, King Shou probably wouldn't have been able to enter his house.
Door wall.”
Wang Anshi said: "Some people in Bianjing say that he is exaggerating his own worth..."
Zeng Gong complained: "That's because they wanted to enter the gate of Kou's house but couldn't, so they said harsh words."
Wang Anshi added: "From the government to the public, people who want to join his sect will probably have a large number of people in their car, right?"
Zeng Gong nodded solemnly, "If he opens the door to accept disciples, I'm afraid some officials in the court will come to apprentice."
"But those people didn't come in, but we did."
When Wang Anshi said this, two flames flashed in his eyes.
Zeng Gong nodded excitedly.
"My dad just made a joke at the time, but I didn't expect it to come true..."
"Yes! I never thought in my wildest dreams. Yesterday we were still fighting with others in Chun Man Tang, but today we surpassed them by so many."
"..."
The two young men pretended to be deeply emotional for a long time.
In the end, Wang Anshi bowed deeply to Zeng Gong and said, "Thank you so much, senior brother. If it weren't for your support, senior brother, I probably wouldn't be where I am today."
Zeng Gong said with a bright smile: "Since you and I are brothers, why bother so much. Look at Sir, and then look at General Liu.
Their brotherhood is enough to make many people envious for a lifetime."
Wang Anshi raised his eyebrows at Zeng Gong and whispered: "We are your disciples."
Zeng Gong was stunned for a moment, then understood the meaning of Wang Anshi's words and nodded excitedly.
Kou Ji allowed them to bring Shu Xiu over to perform the apprenticeship ceremony, which meant he accepted them into the gate.
Like Su Xun, Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu and others, the student named Kou Ji was just a student who came out of the examination room.
One taught it myself, and the other picked it up along the way.
Which one is more valuable, it goes without saying.
The two little guys are famous in history books, but they are just teenagers now.
The young man couldn't hide the joy in his heart.
The two little guys wandered around and found a room in the west wing. After getting in, they lay on the kang together and talked excitedly without lighting a lamp.
It lasted all night.
Although they acted very calmly in front of Kou Ji, in fact, when Kou Ji agreed to accept their entrance wall, they were extremely excited.
Not only can young people not be able to hide their joy, but they can also easily admire someone from the bottom of their hearts.
In the Song Dynasty, the person most worthy of admiration by young people was Kou Ji.
Kou Ji is like a blazing sun. From the moment it appears, it hangs in the sky, climbing all the way up until noon, shining on the earth.
Everyone looked up at him, but couldn't look directly at him.
He is the goal, role model and idol of young people.
Two young people who were just starting out, when others were still looking up to their idols, they took the first step to come under the idol's wings, and they were still at the center of the idol's wings.
Naturally, I was too excited to fall asleep.
You know, before the two of them entered the Wings, there was only one person in the center of the Wings.
Longevity King Zhao Run.
The two little guys were so excited that they didn't sleep all night.
Kou Ji didn't sleep well either.
He thought about it all night.
It's about one of his students.
He knew that his students were not ordinary people and were destined to do great things in the future.
He was considering whether to drive this fussy student out of the door or to keep him for training so that he could be used in future battles.
After thinking about it for half a night, he finally decided to keep this student for training so that he could be used in battle.
After all, there are not many good pawns.
There are even fewer pawns like this who dare to defy the sky, the earth, and the air.
If you have something to do, if you ask me to help you, you can ask this little guy to do a lot of things for you.
Kou Ji has already thought about what to do specifically.
According to the course of history, it will definitely not work to let him preside over reforms.
By the time he ascended to the rank of Immortal...and ascended to the imperial court, Kou Jiqi had already done all that he had to do.
So he has no part in the reform.
The only thing he can do is spread knowledge.
Dashi’s knowledge, and Kou Ji’s own knowledge.
He dared to shout the slogan "Destiny is not enough to be feared, and ancestors are not enough to follow the law" and used the knife on the Song Dynasty.
I believe he can also shout, "Everything my husband said is right" to talk to all the heroes in the world.
This kind of person is very suitable for spreading knowledge.
Not allowing him to spread knowledge is simply disrespecting his talents.
The shackles that Confucianism placed on the Song Dynasty should be removed, and a hundred schools of thought contend and a hundred flowers bloom. This is the road to the prosperity of the Song Dynasty.
He is definitely the toughest fighter on this road, countless times tougher than Koji.
It is much easier for him to go out and spread knowledge than it is for Kou Ji to go out and spread knowledge himself.
Now, what Kou Ji has to do is to let them fully appreciate the knowledge of Dashi and Kou Ji's own knowledge, and break the shackles that have been solidified on them.
After Kou Ji figured out the purpose of a certain student, he slept very soundly until dawn.
Until Xiang Yan shook him and pushed him awake, then she leaned forward with a curious look on his face.
"Ms. sir, have you admitted two students?"
Kou Ji was pulled up from the bed by Xiang Yan and hummed in a daze.
Xiang Yan's voice rose a few degrees again, "Ms. sir, have you admitted two students?"
Kou Ji was awakened by Xiang Yan's sharp voice. He looked at Xiang Yan suspiciously and said, "Is there a problem?"
Xiang Yan said with a bright smile: "No problem...can we accept a few more? You don't know that every time I go out, those ladies will climb up and get close to me, hoping that the children of the family will come to me."
Under your door.
I didn't see you open the door to accept a disciple, so I didn't dare to agree.
Now that you have accepted two boys of unknown origin, can others be accepted as well?"
Kou Ji yawned and asked, "How much benefit have you received from others?"
Xiang Yan shook her head, "I have seen the world, and I really don't look down on the little things they have. Even if the queen shows off her treasure in front of me, I think she sounds poor.
of."
Kou Ji stared at Xiang Yan in astonishment.
What a loud tone.
Queen Cao is now the largest landowner in this land.
Her man is not only the largest landowner in this land, but also the richest person in this land.
Just the leakage of the amount of money in her Yizijiaozi shop is enough to scare many people to death.
What gave you this illusion that made you look down on their family?
Xiang Yan seemed to have read Kou Ji's thoughts. She raised her head proudly and said, "Her family is not as knowledgeable as our family. Her family will not be able to finish learning all the knowledge that my husband has, even if they study for a lifetime."
Compared with knowledge, money is nothing."
Kou Ji opened his mouth, not knowing how to refute.
Xiang Yan continued: "The reason why I asked you to recruit more students is because I want you to spread your knowledge. As long as your knowledge spreads throughout the world, you will also become a sage like your grandfather.
When the time comes, I will look at the gossips in Bianjing City, who will dare to say that you are ignorant and incompetent?"
Hearing this, Kou Ji said with a mixture of laughter and tears: "It's okay if you don't ask for this kind of fame."
Xiang Yan asked back: "Why don't you ask for it when you can? My husband, don't you really want to pass on your knowledge to others?"
If you don’t accept disciples, how can you pass it on?”
Kou Ji yawned and wanted to tell Xiang Yan that he had requirements for accepting disciples.
At least the records in history books must exceed two hundred words.
If it’s less than 200 words, why are you here?
Stand guard?
But he couldn't say this.
Kou Ji thought for a while and then said: "It's okay to accept a few more. Just the two boys who have just started. Among our peers, whoever can beat them, I will accept them to start."
Xiang Yan said happily: "I'm afraid my husband's disciples will spread all over the world."
Kou Ji mourned for Xiang Yan for a while with great pity in his heart.
A well-known great writer, a person who shook the history of history.
Two iron door gods are guarding the door, who can come in?
I am afraid that only Zhang Zai, known as Zhang Zi, and Su Shi, known as Su Xian, can knock on the door.
Sima Jun actually considered the possibility of knocking on the door.
But even if he knocked on the door, Kou Ji wouldn't accept it.
Given his willingness to send away the territory conquered by the Song Dynasty, why did Kou Ji accept him?
Lift him up a step and let him give more?
Everyone else, go to bed.
After all, most monsters have already entered his door in another way.
Xiang Yan didn't know what Kou Ji was thinking, so she asked excitedly: "What about those who are younger than them, or older than them?"
Kou Ji thought for a while and said: "Those older than them should look for Ouyang Xiu, Wen Yanbo, Bao Zheng, and Fan Zhongyan.
Those who are smaller than them will not be accepted for the time being."
Xiang Yan nodded with a bright smile, "Then it's settled."
After saying this, Xiang Yan went out excitedly.
Kou Ji looked at Xiang Yan's back and shook his head slightly.
"Ignorance is bliss!"
Kou Ji got up, washed up, and as soon as he left the door, the housekeeper was waiting outside.
"Sir, your two students, as well as Mr. Cai, are already waiting in the main hall. They say they want to hold a ceremony to become masters."
Kou Ji nodded.
Following the housekeeper to the main hall, I saw Cai Qi, Wang Anshi, and Zeng Gong all there.
After a simple salute.
Kou Ji took the main seat.
Cai Qi sat on one side.
Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong stood aside.
Just when the apprenticeship ceremony was about to begin.
Zhao Run rushed in in a hurry.
He shouted as soon as he entered the door.
"Sir, I heard that you have accepted two junior brothers for me?"
Kou Ji glanced at him without saying anything.
On the other hand, Cai Qi, Wang Anshi, and Zeng Gong saluted Zhao Run.
Zhao Run returned the favor to Cai Qi.
Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong do not have that qualification.
After Zhao Run saluted Cai Qi, he carefully looked at his two junior brothers and found that there was nothing special about them, so he lost interest.
He moved closer to Kou Ji and was about to speak.
Kou Ji just pointed at the location not far away from him.
Zhao Run shut up and stood over.
When Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong saw this, their eyes gleamed and they almost shouted "Domineering".
After Zhao Run stood still.
Cai Qi presided over the apprenticeship ceremony.
He simply offered a gift for apprenticeship.
Kowtow, serve tea, and lecture.
The procedure is very simple.
But everyone looked very solemn throughout the whole process.
It was impossible for Kou Ji to show off his weak knowledge of scriptures in front of Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong, so he simply gave a few rules.
"When you enter our gate, remember to respect your teachers and principles, restrain yourself and return etiquette, seek truth and be pragmatic. The most important thing is not to hurt people's lives, and take it as your responsibility to protect yourself, your family, and your country."
"Students please remember..."
Kou Ji took a book and a pen from the table and handed them to Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong respectively.
What was handed to Wang Anshi was a pen holder, and what was handed to Zeng Gong was a book.
Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong took the gifts respectfully.
Kou Ji continued: "When Zhao Run entered the wall, I gave him an ancient inkstone. Now that you enter the wall, I will give you a book and a pen holder.
If there is any special meaning, you can figure it out yourself.
Once you realize it, you will have it.
If you can’t realize it, you don’t have it.”
Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong bowed respectfully.
"Yes, sir."
Zhao Run couldn't help but said: "Sir, what you gave me has a profound meaning? What do you mean by giving me the ancient inkstone?"
Kou Ji sighed, glared at Zhao Run and said: "With your understanding, it may take a long time to realize the truth. Now that you ask, I will simply tell you.
Ancient inkstones are valuable and should be used wisely.
The thick ink in the inkstone is precious, so use it with caution.
If a pen stained with ink is too heavy to lift, don't use it."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of several people present changed.
The looks are different.
Kou Ji's words were easy to understand. They all understood what they meant, but some of them didn't understand what they meant.
To put it simply, Kou Ji told Zhao Run that he would take on big responsibilities in the future, think twice before doing anything, and be careful when writing.
But whether this important appointment was that of a prince or an emperor, Kou Ji did not say clearly, and no one dared to speculate.
After all, with Kou Ji's status, if he said something too clearly, it would be equivalent to taking sides.
The key is that his stance is different from others.
When others take sides, it is between the princes.
His side is between the prince and the prince's father.
If he supports a certain prince, then that prince can consider usurping the throne when his father is in his prime.
Kou Ji has the strength to support the prince in usurping the throne.
Seeing the different expressions on everyone's face, Kou Ji said with a smile: "Don't think so much... It's just a simple warning, it's not as complicated as you think."
As soon as Kou Ji said this, everyone pretended not to care about the matter.
Kou Ji didn't explain too much.
After Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong accepted Kou Ji's gifts, Kou Ji said with a smile: "I am busy with official duties and don't have time to teach you all the time.
But I have prepared many whetstones for you.
No matter how much knowledge you have, you can hone it on them.
Whether you can grind it out depends on your own luck."
Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong instantly understood what Kou Ji meant.
They are all smart people, so they naturally know what the whetstone Ko Ji talks about.
In fact, they had guessed it last night. After they entered the Kouji Gate, they would definitely be targeted.
When the time comes, there will inevitably be provocations from peers.
They are ready to be provoked.
If they were afraid of provocation from others, they would not have the shame to stay under Kou Ji's sect.
After becoming their masters, Kou Ji gave Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong a name card and asked them to take it and go directly to Wenchang Academy to register.
The two of them thanked Kou Ji and rushed to Wenchang Academy with their name cards in hand.
After the two of them left, Cai Qi left the Kou Mansion holding the twenty-one books given to him by Kou Ji.
After everyone left, Zhao Run couldn't help but ask: "Sir, why did you suddenly think of recruiting students?"
Kou Ji sighed: "I was tricked by someone, and I just gave up because I was confused."
Zhao Run hurriedly said: "If you are unwilling to accept them, I can find a way to make them disappear voluntarily."
Kou Ji looked sideways at Zhao Run.
Zhao Run said frankly: "If you have too many students, my student will become worthless. Besides, when I became a disciple, the gifts I gave you were much more valuable than theirs."
Kou Ji couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "They have to face the challenges of thousands of students all over the world, do you need to face them? Besides, recruiting students is not a business, there is nothing valuable or not.
You are not a businessman, so don’t always think like a businessman."
Zhao Run curled his lips and said, "But I want to be a businessman now."
When Kou Ji heard this, he thought of something. With a smile on his face, he asked: "Why do you want to be a businessman all of a sudden when you leave such a good prince alone?"
“Seeing my hard-earned money being taken away one by one, I felt so uncomfortable.
Four hundred and sixty thousand yuan! Before I could warm myself up or enjoy myself, it was completely plundered. Not a single copper was left for me!"
