Chapter 1012: All Families Gather
Liu Yong was a little more free and easy, and in the face of Kou Ji's question, he smiled and said, "In another three and a half years, the student will be sixty." It's almost sixty years old to enter Bianjing, and it won't take a few days to mix, so it's better not to mix.
Besides, the official system of the Great Song Dynasty is very different from before, and students can't understand the government affairs in some places.
Instead of a corpse vegetarian meal, it is better to go away in style.
The first half of the student's life is absurd, and the second half of his life is restrained.
For the sake of the career, students can be said to work hard.
After entering the official career, the students found that the official career was just like that.
Instead of continuing to mix in the officialdom with restraint, it is better to live the second half of your life as you like. β
Kou Ji sighed with emotion: "I remember that in the past, you regarded your career as more important than your life. β
Liu Yong smiled indifferently: "That is the former Liu Yong, not the current Liu Yong." Since the students saw the retirement of Mr. Kou Gonghe, the students' pursuit of career has been much weaker. β
Kou Ji smiled and shook his head, "Since you have arrived in Qingguo, then I can't leave you alone." Tell me, how do you want to live in the future? β
Liu Yong said proudly: "The students are going to stay in Wenchang Academy to teach poetry, and they don't dare to say anything else, but in poetry, there is no more than one hand that can beat students in the world." β
Kou Ji grinned and said, "Don't talk too much, I'll introduce you to a little guy when I go back." β
Liu Yong was stunned for a moment, stroked his beard and said, "The little guy Mr. said, but Su Shi, the child of the Su family?" β
Koji nodded.
Liu Yong said heroically: "Su Shi, a child of the Su family, has some talent in poetry and is also very aura, but Puyu still needs to be carved.
The students themselves believe that no one is more suitable for carving this piece of jade than the students. β
Kou Ji nodded and smiled: "That's very good, then I'll arrange it for you later." β
When Liu Yong heard this, he got up and arched his hand and said, "Then the student won't bother." As soon as I arrived here, my wife and children at home still needed to be settled, so I said goodbye first. β
Kou Ji got up to see him off, and after walking to the door, he asked curiously: "The insect lady is over fifty years old, and she has added two sons to you, how did you do it?" β
Liu Yong was stunned for a moment, and laughed and said, "Without him, work hard." β
Kou Ji smiled.
After sending Liu Yong away, Zhao Run appeared in front of Kou Ji with a thief.
"Student Zhao Run, I have seen Mr. ......"
Kou Ji returned to the tea room, went to the first place, tasted a sip of tea, and asked Zhao Run without being salty or light, "You are not the prince of Bianjing City, what are you doing here?" β
Zhao Run grinned, "Don't dare to deceive Mr., the student has been appointed as the county magistrate of Longyuan County under the rule of Liaoyang Prefecture, and he came here to take office this time."
Longyuan County is separated by a river from Qingguo.
When the students arrived in Longyuan County, they naturally wanted to come over to visit Mr. β
"Longyuan County Order?"
Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "Why did you think of going to Longyuan County to serve as the county commander?" You've been framed again? β
Zhao Run shook his head, "That's not true." This matter was decided by my father. My father, the emperor, has decreed that after the older prince leaves the cabinet, he must go incognito to the local government to serve as a magistrate.
If he can achieve a small achievement, he will be eligible to inherit his throne.
If you are unknown, you will be ordinary for the rest of your life. β
When Kou Ji heard this, he groaned for a moment and sighed with emotion: "Your father is going to raise Gu." β
Zhao Run smiled bitterly and nodded.
Kou Ji said frankly: "Although it is a little cruel, it is good for the Great Song Dynasty. It's just that it's a little unfair to you, the crown prince, and I see that there is an extra layer of variables on the throne in my hand.
It is very likely that he will lose the throne because of this variable. β
Zhao Run said bluntly: "Students are prepared. β
Kou Ji thought about it for a moment and said with a smile: "If you really want to be an emperor, you don't have to be so troublesome." Although you, sir, and I have left the Great Song Dynasty, we still have some influence on all parties in the Great Song Dynasty.
Especially the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty.
As long as Di Qing and I help you get the strings, as long as you are willing to spend the money, ninety percent of the Great Song Dynasty soldiers and horses will take refuge in you.
As long as you wave your hand, millions of heroes will come to Bianjing, and the throne will be captured. β
When Zhao Run heard this, he shuddered, stared at Kou Ji with a frightened face, and said, "No...... No need ......"
Kou Ji said curiously: "The opportunity is rare!" Since I dare to openly support you in taking the throne, at least there is a 70% chance of victory. You really don't think about it? β
Zhao Run cried with a sad face, and said mournfully: "I don't want to go up or down." β
Kou Ji scolded with a smile: "Gallless rat ......"
Zhao Run hurriedly arched his hand, "Sir, I haven't seen Tianci for a long time, I miss it very much, I went to find Tianci." β
After saying this, without waiting for Kou Ji to speak again, Zhao Run hurriedly escaped from the teahouse.
Kou Ji laughed at the back of Zhao Run who escaped from the tea room.
After Liu Yong and Zhao Run met Kou Ji, one settled his family in the gentleman's residence in Wenchang Academy, and the other found Kou Tianci and asked Kou Tianci to take him to play around Qingguo.
And so it passed for three or five days.
Xiyang's envoy appeared in front of Kou Ji with a letter.
The messenger was a guest from Kou Mansion who Kou Ji had previously sent to assist Liu Boxu.
After the doorman saw Kou Ji, he didn't say much to Kou Ji, and quickly gave the letter to Kou Ji.
Kou Ji originally thought it was a letter from Liu Heng, but after seeing the words 'Uncle Qi' written on the envelope, he knew that the letter was written by Liu Boxu.
Kou Ji opened the letter, glanced at it a few times, was slightly stunned, and then carefully looked at Liu Boxu's letter.
After reading Liu Boxu's letter seriously, Kou Ji looked at the doorman with a strange expression.
"What he said in his letter, but it's true?"
The doorman nodded with a smile and said, "With the help of the villain and many other strategists, the king of Xiyang County has learned to govern, and he is even better than the villain and others.
Everything in Xiyang is proceeding in an orderly manner according to the arrangement of the king of Xiyang.
But since the old prince returned to Xiyang, everything has changed. β
Speaking of this, the doorman hesitated.
Kou Ji finished what he didn't finish saying for the doorman, "Liu Heng obviously doesn't know how to govern the place, but he feels that he has been an official for many years and knows more than Bo Xu, so he blames and messes up the decrees implemented by Bo Xu?" β
The doorman smiled wryly and nodded.
Kou Ji shook his head and smiled: "I thought that Liu Heng would recognize himself, and after returning to Xiyang, he would only meddle in Xiyang's military affairs. Unexpectedly, Liu Heng still held it up.
He is not only meddling in Xiyang's military affairs, but also in Xiyang's government affairs.
How many pounds and taels does he himself, doesn't he know it himself? β
The doorman bowed his hand to Kou Ji and said: "It doesn't matter if the old prince interferes in Xiyang's government affairs, as long as he does it right, his subordinates will naturally believe in the old prince."
But the old prince is completely messed up.
The king of Xiyang finally combined the situation in Xiyang and formulated an edict, which was overturned by him by nearly thirty percent.
If he continues to make trouble, I am afraid that the efforts of the King of Xiyang County for many years will be in vain. β
Kou Ji said angrily: "So Bo Xu asked you to send me a letter and let me get Liu Heng here, it is best to tie Liu Heng firmly here, and not let him go back to Xiyang to make trouble?"
Is he still a son?
How can a son be so right to his father? β
The doorman hurriedly said: "The king of Xiyang County said that he can send the two sons under his knees to the old prince and let the old prince play." β
The corners of Kou Ji's mouth twitched.
"That's it, and no one else is to blame for this. After all, Liu Heng spent too little time with Bo Xu, so that Bo Xu didn't have much affection for him, so it was difficult to get close to him again.
Liu Heng tossed blindly in Xiyang, which is indeed not conducive to the development of Xiyang.
Xiyang is not as good as Qingguo, and it takes a lot of time to digest.
I'll fix a book in a while, and I'll bring it to Liu Heng when I go back.
As for Liu Hengken's refusal to come, it's not up to me to decide. β
The doorman nodded violently, "Your letter must be useful, the old prince will listen to you if he doesn't listen to anyone." β
Kou Ji glanced at the doorman, "You plan to follow Bo Xu's path to the end, and you don't plan to return to Kou Mansion again?" β
When the doorman heard this, he said with a guilty face: "The villain is not an ungrateful person, but the villain will do more if he stays in Xiyang." β
Kou Ji said with a smile: "You don't have to be like this, when I sent you to Xiyang, I had the intention of leaving you in Xiyang." I'm just afraid that you won't agree, so I haven't spoken.
Now that you have the heart to stay in Xiyang, I have a heart problem. β
The doorman knelt at Kou Ji's feet with a solemn face, and kowtowed to Kou Ji three times in a proper manner.
Koji helped him up, wrote a long letter, and handed it to him.
After the doorman got the long letter, he didn't stay in Qingdu longer, he disposed of the goods brought from Xiyang, and left by boat.
It's not easy to get from Xiyang to Qingguo.
Whatever you do, bring some goods back and forth.
Qingguo is now in the midst of large-scale construction, and the goods are not abundant, so the doorman needs to go down the coast to Dengzhou in the Great Song Dynasty to buy a batch of goods, and then return to Xiyang.
After Kou Ji sent away Xiyang's people, he met Di Qing in Wenchang Academy.
In just a few months, Di Qing had already cleaned up the savages in his fiefdom.
killed a group of resistants, leaving a large group of obedient people to stay in the fiefdom to engage in infrastructure construction.
Most of Di Qing's fiefdoms were some nomads and some wild people in the mountains and forests.
Almost all of them live in tents, and they have no fixed place to live.
Therefore, Di Qing's fief can be said to be still in a relatively primitive state.
Kou Ji combined the reality of Di Qing's fief and designed a set of plans for Di Qing to operate the fief.
The first is to establish a city.
With the city, the local people have a gathering place and can develop.
There were not many people in Di Qing's fiefdom, so it was impossible to build too many cities.
Kou Ji's suggestion to Di Qing was to have thirty-six forts in one city.
Kou Ji suggested that Di Qing build a complete city in the middle of the fief, and then set up thirty-six ring fortresses at the edge of the fief.
The fortress was used as a garrison and for the inhabitants, and it was also the prototype of the city.
After the number of people in Di Qing's fiefdom gradually increased, the thirty-six ring fortresses could be turned into cities.
Anyway, in the land outside the territory, Da Song is too lazy to care.
Di Qing can occupy as much as he wants.
Even if Di Qing expanded the three hundred miles of fiefdom under his hands to the north and west, no one cared.
Therefore, Di Qing can build a city on the fief as he likes.
The first thing Di Qing had to do now was to build the first city of the fiefdom and the dock near the sea.
Kou Ji invited some construction masters to discuss it together, and formulated a plan for Di Qing to save money and manpower.
Kou Ji also allocated a group of ships and craftsmen to Di Qing.
Di Qing didn't refuse, and all laughed.
It's not that Di Qing is thick-skinned, but that Di Qing feels that he and Kou Ji are one.
He is not good at running places, he can only fight.
Therefore, he took over the war between Qingguo and the fiefdom of the king of Beihai County, and in terms of management, it was all handed over to Kou Ji.
Di Qing didn't care about those things in the name, and he didn't care that Qingguo and the fiefdom of Beihai County were mixed together.
Di Qing once mentioned to Kou Ji that he was willing to merge the fief of the king of Beihai County into Qingguo, but Kou Ji refused.
So Di Qing could only run the fiefdom by himself.
If this matter is said, others may think that Di Qing is stupid.
But in the eyes of a true wise man, Di Qing's move was very clever.
Di Qing himself is not good at running places, so he decisively gave up his place and let others run it.
It's a wise choice.
If you don't know how to run the fiefdom and run it head-on, it will only get worse and worse.
Maybe it will make the people under its rule miserable and eventually fall apart.
Therefore, it is definitely a very wise choice to hand over the fief to Kou Ji to manage.
As for whether Kou Ji would be greedy for his fiefdom, Di Qing was not worried at all.
Di Qing didn't care about his fiefdom.
After Kou Ji finished planning the construction of the fief for Di Qing, Di Qing once again rushed to his fiefdom with people in a boat.
This time, the number of people and horses that Di Qing brought over was quite considerable.
After Di Qing left.
Together, Kou Ji met with the Liuqiu Cao family, the Eastern Tianzhu Cao family, the Western Tianzhu Zhang family, the envoys of the Black Khanate, the envoys of Dongyang, and the envoys of the two Great Song vassal kings who occupied most of the territory further west of the Western Regions.
The person sent by the Cao family was Cao Tong of the Cao family.
The person sent by the Cao family of Dongtianzhu was a person unknown to Kou Ji, another grandson of Cao Zhan, whose name was Cao Zhan.
The Zhang family of Western Tianzhu sent Zhang Yuan's son Zhang Bao.
The envoys of the Black Khanate are still Gargamel's henchmen Hatuk.
The Li family sent Li Zhaoliang's son, Li Chun.
The Zhu family sent Zhu Neng's son Zhu Fu.
The Dongyang breeder sent the second son of Chong Shiheng to diagnose it.
Several people, both old and young, were invited by Kou Ji to a hospitality flower hall in Wenchang Academy.
Kou Ji invited the group to sit down and ordered someone to serve tea.
After nodding at Cao Tong and the others, he said with a smile: "I just took a look, and the gifts you brought are not light." I deserve it. β
Cao Tong said with a smile: "The fourth brother said that he was joking." Several of our families were able to tear the earth and seal the king, all of which were planned by the fourth brother. Without the fourth brother, there would be no of us today.
In the past, the fourth brother was in the Great Song Dynasty, and we couldn't give each other a gift, for fear of being gossiped.
Now that the fourth brother has left the Great Song Dynasty, we naturally don't need to scruple. β
Kou Ji laughed and said: "Your scene is not small, it is comparable to you entering Bianjing City to meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty." β
Cao Tong and the others were slightly stunned for a moment when they heard Kou Ji say this, and several people made eye contact, and then looked at Kou Ji with a smile.
Kou Ji didn't see them making eye contact, he stared at Cao Tong and said: "Liuqiu's development is good, I heard that you have bought a lot of women from the Eastern Tianzhu Kingdom and the Western Tianzhu Kingdom, and they have been shipped to Liuqiu, and they are officially matched by the people of Liuqiu."
Today, the number of people in exile has reached 150,000. β
When Cao Tong heard this, he said with emotion: "Although there are 150,000 people in my bequest, more than 90,000 of them are naΓ―ve children, and when they grow up, I am afraid it will take more than ten years."
Now I have only 60,000 people who can use it.
Among them, there are only 10,000 soldiers and horses who can fight. β
Kou Ji said with a smile: "The soldiers and horses who can be evaluated by your Cao family as capable of fighting must be fierce soldiers." 10,000 soldiers, which is already a lot. It is more than enough to keep the flow of begging. β
Cao Tong said bluntly: "There are too few people, and the land is too small......
Kou Ji raised his eyebrows, pointed at Cao Yan, shook his head and smiled.
Cao Tong smiled and didn't speak.
Kou Ji looked at the seed diagnosis and asked with a smile, "Is the seed man good?" β
The age of the doctor is younger than Kou Ji, and when he heard Kou Ji's words, he said implicitly: "My father can eat and sleep, and he can also lift the biggest stone lock on the school field." β
Kou Ji nodded and smiled: "In this way, is it old and strong?" β
The doctor hugged his fists and said: "Uncle Lao is worried." β
Kou Ji waved his hand, "I heard that after your farming family arrived in Dongyang, you have adopted a lot of widows?" β
The doctor did not hide it, and said bluntly: "My father incorporated some of the Japanese people in Dongyang into the army and established a servant army. But my father has never forgotten that if he is not of my race, his heart will be different. Therefore, the father of the family uses the Japanese people, but does not reuse the Japanese people.
In addition, my father was also following Xiyang's methods to gradually eliminate the Japanese people.
It's just that my father's methods are not as fierce as those of King Xiyang, so the effect is a little slower.
My father once said that war is the most convenient way to control the population, and it only takes a few battles to solve everything. β
Kou Ji nodded with a smile and looked at Cao Zhan of the Cao family in Dongtianzhu.
"Is it good to use it?"
It is a word used by Cao.
Cao Yu is now considered the lord of a country, and Kou Ji is not easy to call him by his name in front of his juniors, so he uses words to call him.
Cao Zhan arched his hand and said: "Grandfather has suffered from a serious illness in recent days and is recuperating on the couch. β
When Kou Ji heard this, he sighed with emotion: "Use it to fight for a lifetime, work hard, and enjoy your old age." β
Cao Zhan smiled bitterly and said: "It's because my descendants are not angry, and few of them are capable, so that my grandfather is nearly seventy years old, and he is still working hard for us." β
Kou Ji said with a smile: "The Cao and Zhang families shared Tianzhu, and successively occupied the small states on the east and west sides of Tianzhu. Doesn't seem like there's anything to be tired of, right?
What the Cao and Zhang families should do now should be to recuperate and completely digest the territory they occupied.
It is best to turn it into a place completely ruled by the two of you in a very short time. β
Cao Zhan said bluntly: "My father said the same thing. It's just that my grandfather said that the most people in Dongtianzhu are outsiders today, and outsiders are the most unreliable. Grandfather also said that you have always disliked outsiders, and the most people in Dongtianzhu are outsiders today.
If my Cao family controls the Eastern Tianzhu Kingdom for several generations, and the Eastern Tianzhu Kingdom is snatched back by those outsiders, you will definitely scold him.
So my grandfather's thoughts were the same as those of the king of Dongyang County, and he wanted to kill those outsiders through war. β
Kou Ji pointed at Cao Zhan with a smile and said, "You kid can talk." β
Cao Zhan smiled shyly.
Kou Ji looked at Zhang Bao again, he didn't directly ask Zhang Yuan's recent situation, but first asked about Zhang Bao's recent situation, "You grew up in Bianjing City since you were a child, are you still used to going to Xitianzhu?" What are the habits of getting along with your good-looking siblings? β
Zhang Bao was very close to Kou Ji.
After all, when he was young, Zhang Yuan was in the Western Regions, and Kou Ji played the role of a father in Zhang Bao's childhood.
Kou Ji went to see their mother and son almost every half a month, and every time he went, he brought them a lot of things to eat and drink, and often took Zhang Bao out to play.
Zhang Bao was bullied in the school, and it was also Kou Ji who secretly sent someone to give the head.
So Zhang Bao has a special affection for Kou Ji.
In the face of Kou Ji's question, Zhang Bao was very open, and he said with a smile: "Back to my uncle's words, I was really a little unaccustomed to it at the beginning. But after getting along for a long time, I found that they were stupid.
The nephew was able to eat them to death with just a few things he had learned.
With a higher level of learning, that is to bully them.
Now the nephew's younger brothers and sisters are all looking at the nephew's horse. β
Kou Ji nodded with satisfaction, "That's good." What I'm most afraid of is that you are not close to your father and will be bullied by those weird-looking younger brothers and sisters.
Now that I've heard that you're doing well, I'm relieved. β
Zhang Bao pursed his lips and arched his hand: "Thank you uncle for your concern." β
Kou Ji said with a smile: "When you go back, pick a big boat and bring it, and in the future, when you have leisure, you will come over to play on a big boat." β
Zhang Bao nodded heavily.
Although he is already an adult.
But in the face of Kou Ji's word 'play', he was not disgusted at all.
After all, no matter how old he is, his Uncle Kou is still his Uncle Kou.
Kou Ji continued to ask, "How is your father?" β
Zhang Bao did not hide it, he said decisively: "My father is ambitious. My father asked me to tell you that he did not change his original intention, as long as you are in need, the 100,000 heroes of the West Tianzhu Kingdom will obey his orders. β
When Cao Tong and the others heard this, their expressions were different.
Kou Ji shook his head with a smile and said, "I don't rebel, what's the use of asking for 100,000 male divisions of the Western Tianzhu Kingdom?" β
Zhang Bao grinned.
Kou Ji pointed at Zhang Bao and did not say anything more.
Koji looked at Hatuk, didn't make much detours, and asked straight to the point: "When will Gargamel hit Baghdad?"
He asked the Seljuks for help, so he must have entered Baghdad, right? β
Hatuk said in a deep voice: "Back to the gods, originally my king's plan went well, but there were heretics who defected to the Roman Empire, and used the soldiers and horses of the Roman Empire to resist my king's Black Khan alliance and the Seljuks' soldiers and horses.
Although the Seljuks now occupy Baghdad, they have promised to return Baghdad to my king.
But the people of the Roman Empire are frequently present on our battlefields.
We don't want to act rashly. β
Koji couldn't believe it, "Roman Empire? Will your people still take refuge in the Roman Empire? β
With the domineering style of Gargamel's religion, subjugating others is their main theme, and taking refuge in others is telling jokes.
