Kou Ji felt that it would be awkward to lie down with another woman in front of his wife.

But Xiang Yan doesn't seem to think so.

She seems to feel that Chun'er is her maid in marriage and a maid in the room, and when she can't take care of Kou Ji, Chun'er naturally has to replace her and take care of Kou Ji.

This is not Xiang Yan's feelings and thoughts alone.

In Bianjing City, and even the wives of the entire Song Dynasty wealthy families, it seems that they all have this idea and feeling, and they are also keen to put this matter into practice.

It seems that this kind of thing can't be mentioned, and if you mention it, it is easy to make people sleepless.

Kou Ji was on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

He glanced at Xiang Yan, who was sitting under the candlelight, and then jumped out of bed suddenly, and carried her back to the bed in Xiang Yan's exclamation.

……

Nothing was said all night.

Following.

In Xiang Yan's complaining eyes, Kou Ji got up, washed up, and left Kou Mansion with the Jiaozi template he had made.

He rode a donkey and wandered around Bianjing City for half a circle to a shop covering an area of 100 acres.

There were two small servants standing at the door of the shop, and beside the small servants, there was a proud figure.

After Kou Ji arrived, the arrogant figure suddenly lowered his waist and met Kou Ji in three or two steps.

"Young Master......"

Lu Ming bowed and shouted closely.

Kou Ji stared at Lu Ming, glanced up and down, and sighed: "The gentleman in the house said that among you, Erbao and Bao'er, you are the most wise and the most promising to be admitted to the Jinshi.

Why don't you want to read anymore?

Do you think that I can't support you, young master, or do you think that if you are admitted to the Jinshi in the future, I can't give you a good future, young master? ”

Lu Ming grinned and said, "Mr. said that if you pass the Jinshi examination, you can't be a servant for others." Even if you want to be a servant, you can only be a servant for the official family, not a servant for you, the young master. ”

Kou Ji stared at Lu Ming and said seriously: "If you pass the Jinshi examination, you can become an official." With the young master, I will carry you, you can not only be an official, but also a big official. Once you become a big official, you will be able to become famous in history and glorify your ancestors.

You don't want any of this? ”

Lu Ming laughed in a low voice: "The villain doesn't need to glorify his ancestors, because the villain has no ancestors. The villain also doesn't need celebrities to go to history, because the villain doesn't care. The villain only knows that when the villain was sold as a slave, it was you who saved me, young master.

The villain has read a lot of books over the years, but the truth in the book, the villain only reads one sentence.

That is the grace of a drop of water, when the spring reciprocates. ”

Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "If you become an official, you can also repay my kindness." ”

Lu Ming shook his head and said, "The villain is afraid of becoming an official, his tail is too high, and he forgets your kindness, young master." ”

Kou Ji frowned and said, "Why do you have this idea? ”

Lu Ming said with a smile: "When Ding Wei was beheaded, Mr. took the villain and Erbao to watch at the entrance of the vegetable market. At that time, Mr. told the villain that among the crowd of onlookers underground, there were many people who were carried up by Ding Wei.

The villain didn't see them begging for their lives, nor did he see them crying.

The villain only saw their eyes that hated Ding Wei immortal.

The villain didn't want to be like them, and after climbing to a high position, he forgot the grace of the past. ”

Hearing Lu Ming say this, Kou Ji knew that Lu Ming had made up his mind.

He no longer spoke to admonish, but sighed deeply.

He raised his hand and wanted to pat Lu Ming's head, but found that Lu Ming had grown into a big man, and it was no longer suitable to pat him on the head in public.

Kou Ji put his hands behind his back and sighed, "That's it...... That's it...... Since you don't want to go to the Jinshi examination, then keep an eye on it for me in the Jiaozi shop. When Jiaozi is rolled out, you will have another chance.

In the future, your achievements may not be lower than those of Jinshi. ”

Lu Ming smiled brightly and did not speak.

Kou Ji asked, "Are the people of the Mu family here?" ”

Lu Ming bowed down and said, "The people of the Mu family, the Qian family, and the Meng family are all here. ”

Kou Ji nodded, "Go in and talk." ”

Lu Ming led Kou Ji into Jiaozi Shop.

The heads of the Mu, Qian, and Meng families came out.

After giving each other salutes, they took a seat in a room on the second floor.

The head of the Mu family is the second master of the Mu family, named Mu Chong.

The head of the Qian family is a thin tall man with two beards, and he laughs happily, like a good gentleman, named Qian Le.

The head of the Meng family is a tall, chubby middle-aged man with a long beard hanging down to his chest, not smiling, not angry and arrogant, more like an official than Kou Ji, named Meng Weizhong.

After the four of them sat down, Mu Chong introduced the other two to Kou Ji respectively.

After the introduction.

Qian Le was the first to speak, and said with a smile: "Kou Shilang, the three of us have bought this shop in Bianjing City according to your instructions, and we have also repaired it according to your instructions.

I don't know when Jiaozi can be issued, and how should it be issued? ”

Kou Ji smiled indifferently: "The issuance of Jiaozi is not an overnight thing. Rushing too much will only cause you to repeat the trouble you caused before. ”

The smile on Qian Le's face was a little stiff.

Meng Weizhong said in a deep voice: "When does Kou Shilang plan to release Jiaozi?" I'll give the three of us a moment. As you know, the three of us have a lot of business to do behind our backs, but we don't have that much time to spend in Bianjing City. ”

Kou Ji knocked on the table and said lightly: "I've been sitting for so long, don't you plan to let someone serve me a cup of tea?" ”

The three of them were stunned.

Mu Chong hurriedly greeted and asked Kou Ji to serve a cup of tea.

After Kou Ji took a sip, he said, "How big business can you have behind you, can it be bigger than the business of Jiaozipu?" ”

Without waiting for the three of them to speak, Kou Ji said again: "How Jiaozipu makes money and how much money it can make, you have already tried it, and I don't need to say more." ”

The three of them looked at each other, groaned, and did not speak.

Kou Ji continued: "Before Jiaozipu can open, there are two things that need to be done. ”

Meng Weizhong frowned and said: "Bianjing, Sichuan Mansion, Jiangning Mansion, the three Jiaozi shops are all run by the three of us. You're a part, but you're not doing anything......"

Kou Ji glanced at him and smiled, "Are you dissatisfied with the way I do things?" ”

Meng Weizhong said in a stiff tone: "Don't dare, I just think that if it's actually doing business, then everyone should contribute." We can give out the money, but we can't do all the things. ”

Kou Ji's face turned slightly cold, and he sneered: "You really think this is a business? What is related to Jiaozi is money, if we really achieve the world, then we have all the money in the world and the lifeblood of the court.

It's not just a business.

Therefore, all aspects must be taken into account, and if you are not careful, it will cause a big disaster in the future.

If you're not happy with the way I'm doing things, you can quit.

Your share of the Meng family, I will eat it.

I don't pay because I'm wise.

If I pay, what else will happen to you? ”

Meng Weizhong stared at Kou Ji with an ugly face.

Qian Le saw that the two had a quarrelsome posture, and hurriedly admonished: "Harmony makes money...... Harmony and wealth ......"

Kou Ji snorted coldly, "I just let you do a little thing, and you feel uncomfortable." Someone takes 30 percent of the portion, but doesn't have to do anything, why don't you feel uncomfortable?

Though I have one component, the other three percent are under my control.

I have a voice in the quarters.

So I hope that my words will not be questioned by the three of you in the future.

The reason why I left you to continue to be Jiaozi is not because I have no money and can't afford to be Jiaozi.

It's that I think you have made a contribution to the establishment of Jiaozi, and you deserve to occupy a place in the issuance of Jiaozi.

Without you, I can still fight and make friends, and I will do it faster and better. ”

Mu Chong smiled bitterly: "Kou Shilang doesn't need to be angry, Brother Meng's family is in some trouble, so he is a little unhappy in his heart, so he will speak against you." Don't worry about him when you play with your money.

If you have any commands, just say and we will do it. ”

Qian Le nodded vigorously.

Meng Weizhong hesitated for a moment and nodded stiffly.

Seeing this, Kou Ji's face softened a little.

"First of all, Jiaozipu is still missing a signboard, after the signboard is set, Shuzhong Jiaozipu and Jiangning Jiaozipu must be the same as Jiaozipu in Bianjing, with a signboard.

Secondly, the staff above the steward of the three major Jiaozishops need to be called into Beijing to participate in training. ”

When Qian Le heard this, he hurriedly spoke: "The signboard of Jiaozipu, we have already thought about it......"

Without waiting for Qian Le to finish speaking, Kou Ji interrupted him and said, "You have thought about it, is it useful?" ”

Mu Chong instantly understood the meaning of Kou Ji's words.

Qian Le didn't understand, frowned and said, "How can it be useless?" ”

Mu Chong tugged at Qian Le's sleeve and pointed to the sky.

Qian Le was stunned at first.

Then he hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, it's useless for me to think about it...... No, I never thought about it, I never thought about it......"

Kou Ji ignored Qian Le's words, he continued: "I will bring the words over when I go back, and you send someone to frame the plaque and hang it." ”

Mu Chong and the three nodded in unison.

Kou Ji took out the Jiaozi template from behind him and said, "In the future, this set of templates must be used for the issuance of Jiaozi." This set of templates corresponds to consistent money, five money, ten money, twenty money, fifty money, and one hundred money.

Jiaozi was uniformly printed by Jiaozipu in Bianjing City, and then distributed to Jiaozipu in Jiangning Prefecture and Jiaozipu in Shuzhong.

In order to avoid mistakes in the transportation process.

I will make three special seals for the three Jiaozi shops.

A Jiaozi stamped with a seal is a complete Jiaozi, and a Jiaozi without a seal is a piece of waste paper. ”

After Mu Chong and the three of them took out the template from Kou Ji, they stepped forward together and watched the template carefully.

Mu Chong was stunned and said: "What a fine template, it is several times more fine than the template we used before." ”

The three of them did not question Kou Ji's mention of Jiaozi's denomination.

They have been in the business for many years, so they naturally know the benefits of this denomination customized by Kou Ji.

At the same time, they guessed that Kou Ji had set a denomination for Jiaozi, and did not use the original handwritten denomination.

Customized denominations are more convenient to manage, not easy to make mistakes, and can save a lot of trouble in the middle.

It wasn't until this moment that they truly realized what a wise choice it was to work with Koji.

Just a Jiaozi template, Kou Ji has spent so much thought, far more than them.

The set of templates they used before, compared to Kou Ji's set of templates, is not an exaggeration to describe it as shoddy.

In an instant, Meng Weizhong's gaze at Kou Ji was more convincing.

Kou Ji took out a few finished Jiaozi from his cuffs, put them in front of the three of them, and said indifferently: "Don't patronize the Jiaozi template, look at the finished product." ”

Qian Le's gaze moved upward, a little stunned.

The five-colored Jiaozi, his eyes were straight when he saw it.

The Jiaozi they originally created were only two colors, but the Jiaozi made by Kou Ji had five colors.

White background, black letters, light green lines, green lines, blue lines, if it is stamped with red clay seals, it is six colors.

Mu Chong couldn't put it down, and sighed: "Kou Shilang is amazing...... You haven't done it before, have you? ”

Qian Le nodded vigorously and said, "This Jiaozi is like a painting." ”

Meng Weizhong smiled bitterly: "With it, I don't want to give it to others." ”

Kou Ji didn't care about the emotion and admiration of the three of them, he pointed to the Jiaozi in his hand and said: "The colors on it are not just for the sake of looking good, but a means to prevent others from copying them.

All three pigments are specially blended by me, and without my recipe, it is difficult for others to mix exactly the same color.

Therefore, if others want to imitate our Jiaozi, it is difficult to break through the level of pigment. ”

Mu Chong groaned: "There are many capable people in the world, and we can't be inferior to the people in the world." The Jiaozi we printed before, when we took it back, we found a few fake Jiaozi with a small number.

The person who faked Jiaozi didn't seem to have much ambition, so he didn't make much.

Otherwise, even if the three of us lose all our money, we won't be able to afford it. ”

Kou Ji said indifferently: "I have never had the idea of being inferior to the world, and the color is only three of them. In addition to these three levels, I also designed 30 hidden marks on them. ”

"Where?"

Mu Chong and the three of them took Jiaozi and looked at it for a long time.

Except for the three places discovered by Meng Weizhong, Mu Chong and Qian Le found nothing.

They don't look like the craftsmen in the Koufu who have superb eyesight.

Kou Ji pointed out to them the thirty hidden marks on Jiaozi.

Under Kou Ji's guidance, they discovered the existence of thirty hidden signs.

When they put down their handover, they looked at Kou Ji's eyes full of shock and admiration.

Even Meng Weizhong, who had quarreled with Kou Ji before, changed his dissatisfied look just now.

He looked at Kou Ji with a hint of awe in his eyes.

In the shocked and admiring gazes of the three of them, Kou Ji said, "I pointed out to you thirty secret marks. Go back and teach the shopkeeper of the three major Jiaozi shops how to distinguish the secret mark on it.

Remember, you can only tell them the twenty-four hidden marks on it.

You'd better negotiate in advance, and choose the same one of the twenty-four secret signs.

When the professor of the treasurer is asked to give the steward, he shall teach twelve.

When the professor in charge gave it to his buddies, he could only teach six places.

When the guys are issuing Jiaozi, they can teach the guests three places. ”
