Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1198
After sending the letter to Nurhachi to Baiyulou for filing and sending it to Liaodong, Gao Wushi did not have time to spare. He dealt with several groups of officials who had sent people to inquire about the news. The military governor's office discussed matters with Zhu Yingzhen and others.

This is often the case in the daily life of court officials, picking out the most important ones out of a lot of things to focus on.Gao Yushi's current situation is of course a bit more complicated than that of ordinary officials, but in the final analysis, his job is to be a minister of military affairs, so the two tasks of the Imperial Guard and the Production and Construction Corps are his most basic tasks, which belong to "absolutely no mistakes" s project.

It was not his own idea to come to the Dudu's Mansion of the Five Armies today, but a request from the Dudu's Mansion of the Five Armies. It is said that it is a troublesome matter that "if Gao Gong does not come, the Wufu will be helpless".

Well, a good leader is one who can help his subordinates solve big troubles that they cannot solve by themselves. Gao Yushi has this awareness.

Uncle Zhangwu Yang Bing, the uncle who is the governor of the Jingying Rongzheng, has no airs. He personally welcomed Gao Wushi, the assistant director of the Jingying Rongzheng, at the gate of the Chinese Military Governor's Mansion. Gao Wushi smiled and said a few words politely. , Shi Shiran entered the gate of the Zhongfu with the appearance of a master.

Those who are not familiar with the special system of Ming Dynasty may find it difficult to understand why the second in command is tougher than the first in command, and who is the governor and who is the assistant.

Yang Bing obviously did not have such doubts, he was fully aware of his status - he was just a mascot, where would it be his turn to be in charge?Not to mention that the "assistant" Gao Yushi has at least ten times more real power than him, even the other governors of the five prefectures, such as Xu Wenbi, Zhu Yingzhen, Zhang Yuangong, etc., no matter who they stand up to speak out, they are much better than him.

To ask why?
Hey, he is the Duke of the State, and there are two others who are also Lords of the State. Naturally, they are better at speaking than his uncle!This is an era when the achievements of the ancestors determine the status of the descendants. You have to obey, and you have to obey if you don’t.

If you really can't accept it, you go to the imperial examination!If you have the same ability as high pragmatism, then you can change and change, but whether this way is suitable for Xungui is another matter. Anyway, I haven’t heard of any Xungui’s family who has a Jinshi master or even a champion. Wenquxing's.

Yang Bing welcomed Gao Wushi to the outside of the White Tiger Hall, and Zhu Yingzhen and Zhang Yuangong had already greeted him at the door. Seeing Gao Wushi coming in, they all smiled and saluted.

But at this time, Gao Yushi can't let them salute first. After all, the Duke of the State is the top of the noble family, and he still has to have the courtesy he deserves, so Gao Yushi raised his hand first: "Your lords, you lords, Bo Lord, it’s too late to be pragmatic, and I beg Haihan.”

Today Ding Guogong Xu Wenbi is not here, Zhu Yingzhen has the highest status, so he hastily responded on behalf of everyone: "Hey, what did Gong Bao say, it was me who bothered Gong Bao with something, and I should be the one who said 'Wanqi Haihan'. Besides, Kung Pao must be busy with things these days, so I am extremely grateful for being able to take the time to come here."

Huh?Zhu Yingzhen's style of speaking today is a bit strange.He usually looks like he is very close to him, and he speaks and acts naturally, why is he so polite today?

Gao Wushi's heart moved, but he was relieved when he thought about what they said before that there was a big trouble.

"Master Guo, you are being polite..." Gao Wu changed his mind and said, "However, we are really busy these few days, and we are not outsiders, so don't waste your time being polite, let's go in and talk about business."

Zhu Yingzhen and the others glanced at each other, and quickly invited Gao Wushi into the White Tiger Festival Hall.

At this point, Gao Yushi can no longer "look like a master", and the rules that the court should have must still be in place.So Yang Bing, Zhang Wubo, the Governor-General of Jingying Rongzheng, sat in the first seat without hesitation, Gao Yushi sat in the second seat a little next to him, and the other four governors sat on both sides.

However, Uncle Zhangwu first explained to Gao Wushi: "Mr. Dingguo has been in poor health recently, and has been recuperating in a hospital in the suburbs of Beijing, so he can't come today. He asked me to apologize to Gao Gongbao..."

Gao Wushi nodded: "I know about Duke Ding's situation. I sent someone to deliver some medicine a few days ago. There is no need to say anything about it. I only hope that Duke Ding recovers soon."

Xu Wenbi's physical condition has not been very good. If there is any serious illness, it is not that he has some congenital asthma, and it is easy to trigger it every time he changes to a new environment.

Gao Wushi didn't pay much attention to this situation, according to the Chinese medicine doctor, but according to his previous life's thinking, it is probably that this person is more prone to respiratory allergies, and an allergy triggers asthma, which leads to some problems such as difficulty in breathing.In this situation, as long as the cats are raised well, they will not be fatal, but it is necessary to avoid running around as much as possible, and it is best to stay in a familiar environment and isolate allergens.

It is estimated that the imperial physician of the imperial hospital and the famous doctor invited by his family should have told him these precautions, so he seldom walks around recently, and he will not appear in person unless it is extremely important. If it is not possible, he will send a representative.For example, his representative was present today, that is, Xu Xigao, whom Gao Yushi is very familiar with—he is the eldest grandson of Xu Wenbi.However, because he has neither a title nor an official position, he can only accompany the last seat.

After finishing the gossip, Gao Wushi looked around at Zhong Xungui and asked, "Okay, what's the trouble, let's hear it."

Well, to cut to the chase, it's very pragmatic.

But everyone here and Gao Yushi are old acquaintances, and they are familiar with this style, so they don't feel awkward.

Several people looked at each other, and it was still Zhu Yingzhen who spoke as the representative: "That's right, the Production and Construction Corps has been gradually on its way, but there is a troublesome thing right now... To be honest, you know the location of the emperor's birthday palace has been decided, right? ?”

"I know, what's the matter?" Gao Wushi was a little confused.

It is normal for the emperor to build the longevity palace early, especially Zhu Yijun experienced the embarrassment of having no place to bury him after the death of his father, Emperor Mu Zong, so his longevity palace was built very early, and it seems that he started planning when he was 20 years old.Now it has been delayed for so long to start work because of the continuous war.Now it's so easy to stop fighting for the time being, and this matter was immediately put on the agenda by the courtiers - the courtiers also felt that the situation like Mu Zong's was not good, and the courtiers couldn't hold back their faces.

And speaking of it, at that time Mu Zong was also thanks to his father, Emperor Jiajing, who built a longevity palace for his father Emperor Xingxian in Tianshou Mountain, but in the end he didn't move the tomb of Emperor Xingxian from Hubei, so the longevity palace has been empty. with.After Mu Zong died, no one in the imperial court dared to come up with random ideas, and it was too late to build a new longevity palace. In the end, Gao Gong made the final decision—the longevity palace was used.

So, the grandson lived in the birthday palace originally prepared by his father for his grandfather.

This... I'm afraid that Gao Gong dared to make this decision. After all, in the court of Daming, which was very ancestral, few important officials dared to say that "the law should be changed to keep pace with the times".

Zhu Yingzhen coughed dryly, and said with a little hesitation: "Well, it stands to reason that it is only natural for the Beijing camp to contribute to such things as the emperor's longevity palace. But to be honest, you once said when the Production and Construction Corps was established. However, in the future, we can’t always let the imperial court use these people for nothing, the money that should be distributed must always be distributed, otherwise this production and construction corps will be different from the previous Beijing camp..."

Oh, that's what happened.

When Zhu Yingzhen mentioned this, Gao Wushi guessed what was going on.It must be that the emperor needed people to repair the longevity palace, and the Ministry of Industry directly issued an order in accordance with the past "tradition" to recruit craftsmen from the Beijing camp to repair the longevity palace.

Some people may ask: the Ministry of Industry is not the Ministry of War, why does it transfer people from the Beijing camp to work?

If we want to expand this situation, it is more complicated, but we can put it in a simpler way.Probably because the former Beijing Camp had no status anyway, and was often transferred by the court to do projects. There were all kinds of miscellaneous tasks, high-end such as repairing the emperor's mausoleum, low-end such as digging out cesspit, important such as repairing the city wall, Secondary things like paving roads, anyway, the Beijing camp has done everything.

But it doesn't mean anything if you have done it. The key is that there are two miserable things.

To mobilize them at the beginning, the Ministry of Industry first needed to ask the emperor for instructions, and then the emperor gave an order to the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War issued a transfer order, and the five armies' governor's office would then transfer troops to do things.Later, it may be that there are too many such things, such as dredging the sewers in the capital, you have to ask the emperor for instructions. Of course, the emperor also found it annoying, so these processes were gradually simplified, and the Ministry of Industry ordered it directly, and gradually formed. Default rule.

The second point is that the Ministry of Industry asks Jingying to do projects, and most of the time they don't pay wages.Because according to everyone's understanding, your Beijing camp already has military pay, and now you are idle, and doing the project itself is a task given to you by the imperial court. Why do you need to take another sum of money?
This makes the Beijing camp very unlucky, because although the imperial court pays the Beijing camp, it is true, but most of the salary does not belong to the nature of "salary". facilities etc.As for the military salary of the real salary nature, it is actually very little. The reason is that the Beijing Camp already has a large amount of land on the register, and these lands are used to raise soldiers according to Zhu Yuanzhang's idea back then.

As for whether these lands are now raising soldiers or nobles, or even raising a large number of hereditary officers, I'm sorry, the court doesn't ask this...

So every time the Beijing camp was transferred to start a major project, the unlucky ones were the people underneath.Not only do they not get wages most of the time, they even have to bring their own dry food to do the work. Only occasionally when the project volume is too heavy, or when the delivery time of the project is very tight and they need to work in shifts, the court will give some wages as a "discretionary" Subsidy-this is discretionary, if it is half of the normal wages in the market, then the people in the Beijing camp can burn incense to celebrate.

But this situation was broken after Gao Yushi established the Production and Construction Corps, because according to Gao Yushi's regulations, no matter what the Production and Construction Corps does, it must consider the issue of income—at least you can't lose money.

This is a little troublesome, although Zhu Yingzhen and others don't really care about the Ministry of Industry's calling of the Production and Construction Corps, because they are actually used to it, and to be honest, they are not the nobles who are unlucky.

But now it is different. The nature of the Production and Construction Corps is different from that of the Beijing Camp in the past. It needs to pay its account now!Gao Pragmatism stipulated that the production and construction corps should implement a set of revenue and expenditure management procedures similar to those in the Jinghua system. This account should be handed over to the Ministry of War for review and approval—of course, it was actually handed over to him, the assistant manager of the Jingying Rongzheng review and approval.

In this way, the Ministry of Industry directly calls people from the Production and Construction Corps to repair the Shou Palace. The biggest trouble is Gao Wushi. Without his approval, Zhu Yingzhen and the others dare not release them at all, otherwise the accounts will not be correct. High pragmatism dares to let them post their own money.

Everything else is easy to say, how can you bear it by posting money yourself?So Zhu Yingzhen and the others discussed and discussed, but in the end they could only report the problem to Gao Wushi.

We really can't figure it out, so your Ministry of War should go to the Ministry of Industry to file a lawsuit.

Originally, after Zhu Yingzhen faltered and explained the matter, he was a little worried that Gao Yushi would not intervene directly, because the style of civil servants has always been like this: I just assign tasks, if you military officials can't do it well, it is because of your own incompetence.

However, Gao Yushi's reaction was beyond the expectations of the nobles. Not only did Gao Yushi not shirk, but he nodded repeatedly and praised: "Good! You can strictly adhere to the system regulations of the Production and Construction Corps. Rejoice."

Although Gao Wushi had a smile on his face, but because he did not call himself "I" this time, but replaced it with "Honbutang", which means that he is now talking about business as an assistant to the Jingying Rongzheng, so all the nobles also They all subconsciously sat up straight, as if listening respectfully to the lecture.

But everyone still has no idea: praise is good, but this thing is worthless, the key is whether they are highly pragmatic and willing to directly help solve the problem.

Of course, the high-practical high-mindedness who knows the stinky virtues of the nobles will not disappoint them. He just pondered for a moment, then smiled and said: "You may think that this matter only needs to be negotiated with the Ministry of Industry, but this Otherwise, the key to this matter is not in the Ministry of Industry, nor in the Ministry of War.”

All the nobles were taken aback, Zhang Yuangong interjected: "Where is that?" Then he asked himself and added a sentence: "Do you want to find the cabinet?"

Gao Wushi shook his head: "The cabinet must report it, but the most important thing is the emperor."

Everyone was suddenly enlightened, and Gao Wushi added: "Originally, the emperor's approval was required to transfer people from the Beijing camp to start large-scale projects, and this time the Ministry of Industry was transferred for the purpose of repairing the longevity palace...as long as the emperor understands that the Production and Construction Corps If you are willing to support the restructuring of the Production and Construction Corps, then this matter will naturally turn around, and even change the past process and establish a new set of methods.”

Uncle Zhangwu Yang Bing didn't want to talk at first, but Zhu Yingzhen and Zhang Yuangong gave him a look and had to stand up and ask a sensitive topic. He coughed dryly and asked awkwardly: "Gong Bao's words are justified. But this matter ... Uh, after all, it is for the emperor to repair the longevity palace, which is what we should do..."

Fart, what you want to say is not this at all, and what you want to ask is also not this.

Gao Wushi interrupted directly: "Uncle, do you want to ask: Will the Emperor be furious because the Production and Construction Corps has to collect money for the emperor's longevity palace?"

"Uh..." Yang Bing hesitated for a moment, and apologized with an embarrassed smile: "Well, Gong Bao really... really has a sharp eye."

Gao Wushi smiled, and said lightly: "You can rest assured, since the new system is decided by the main hall, the responsibility of persuading the emperor should naturally be taken by the main hall."
