Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1338 The Nancha Disturbance ([-])
Gao Pragmatic didn't want to say these words outright, but at this moment it was hard not to say them, but he was actually too cautious.Cao Yu, as his general in Liaofu, was "fished out" from prison by his superiors, and now he must be called "Entang" every time he writes to him.

For such a person, he naturally has a strong influence, not to mention that the emperor would not be surprised when he heard it, even if Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue heard it, they didn't have any special reaction, everyone took it for granted.

In the final analysis, Gao Pragmatism does not want to act like a follower in a "society ruled by men", but always requires his thinking to work according to the "society ruled by law".Whether it's Zhu Yijun, Shen Shixing, or Wang Xijue, they are used to all the rules of a society ruled by men, so they think it's normal.

As the saying goes, "the law is nothing more than human feelings", which means that the law generally does not go beyond the emotions of human society, that is, it basically conforms to social ethics and human emotions.Therefore, all laws, whether strict or lenient, should be humane.

Of course, the "human feelings" here are not to be understood as human feelings and sophistication circulated in society, but to refer to human emotions.

From this perspective, law is the bottom line of morality, and morality is born of human feelings, so the existence of law is to maintain the existence of human feelings.That being the case, it is obviously a perfectly reasonable thing for a rescued person to be more willing to obey the demands of his rescuer.

Perhaps, only high pragmatism will subconsciously downplay this human factor, trying to just "reasonable" in everything.

Sure enough, Zhu Yijun smiled, and said naturally: "That would be the best. I think you might as well explain it in detail, so that he knows how to fight this battle."

Well, this is another typical high pragmatic dependency.In Zhu Yijun's eyes, it seems that as long as he is highly pragmatic and strategizing, Cao Yu can win this battle even if he is thousands of miles away.

What's even more weird is that it seems that not only Zhu Yijun thinks so, but Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue also have such worries.

So Shen Shixing had no choice but to stand up at this time, and took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, although Cao Yu is the deputy general of Liaoyang, Liaofu is in Liaoyang, so it is not easy to let the Fuchen take charge of this matter alone. I think that Liao Governor should still be in charge of military affairs, and Cao Yu should only take care of the frontline operations."

This was the practice of the Ming Dynasty. Although Zhu Yijun knew that Li Song and Gao Yushi were not in the same way, he couldn't refuse directly, and just glanced at Gao Yushi thoughtfully.

Gao Wushi lowered his head slightly at first, but after feeling the emperor's gaze on him, he raised his head and said, "I think what Yuanfu said is very true, and it is only reasonable that the military affairs of Eastern Liao should be dominated by the governor."

Zhu Yijun quietly breathed a sigh of relief. If Gao Wushi had refused just now and insisted on letting Cao Yu command the battle alone, he would be more embarrassed.Fortunately, high pragmatism is always high pragmatism, never embarrassing the emperor, and thus avoiding embarrassment for the emperor.

But Zhu Yijun didn't notice that Gao Yushi played a little trick here: Shen Shixing originally only mentioned that Li Song, governor of Liaodong, should be in charge of this battle, but did not mention Zhou Yong, governor of Jiliao. Gao Yushi's answer was "" led by the governor".

Governors and governors, even though both of them are special officials of the central government in theory, they are dispatched officials themselves, and there is no difference in grade, but from a customary point of view, the governor is always in front and the governor is in the back. higher.For example, when the governor is given the title of censor of the capital, the governor is basically given the title of Minister of the Ministry of War;

But now, because Li Song is the first governor, his job title is not high, but the right of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Zhou Yong, the Governor of Jiliao at this time, is the Minister of the Ministry of War.

Youqian Capital Yushi is the fourth grade, and the Minister of the Ministry of War is the third grade, so if according to Gao Pragmatic's statement, this battle is "led by the governor", then of course it will be dominated by Governor Zhou Yong of Jiliao.

What's more, this time it's a war. Unless the governor doesn't care or has no skills, the "priority" of management is higher than that of the governor, so this time it is different from when Gao Yushi was the Liao governor.

When Gao Yushi was appointed governor of Liaodong, Zhou Yong, as an official of Gao Yushi's Henan Township Party, would certainly not disagree with Gao Yushi's opinions. Therefore, Zhou Zhitai did not interfere with Gao Yushi's arrangements for Liaodong at all, and Gao Yushi was alone. People have the final say.

Although at this time Gao Wushi didn't know whether Shen Shixing's sudden statement was just to maintain the tradition of civil servants suppressing military officials, or whether he wanted to find a way to take the lead in this battle so that he could share the credit in the future, or he simply planned to let Li Song delay Cao Yu. hind legs.

But in any case, it is impossible for Gao Wushi to remain indifferent, and he must prepare some countermeasures to avoid being passive in the future. Zhou Yong, Governor of Jiliao, who can meet this demand at this time, is obviously the best candidate.

Zhu Yijun didn't notice it, but Shen Shihang and Wang Xijue obviously noticed it, but the high-practical words were the same as Shen Shihang's proposition, and they were also traditional. Although Shen Shihang felt it was inappropriate, they couldn't find a suitable reason to object.

However, Shen Shixing thought about it secretly and felt that the problem was not too serious, because even if Zhou Yong wanted to intervene, it would not be so easy.

It's not that it's not easy to intervene in terms of power, but it's a geographical location: Governor Ji Liao's residence is in Miyun, which can be said to be right next to the capital, and it's really a thousand miles away from the starting point of this battle.The governor of Liaodong is based in Liaoyang, only three hundred miles away from Kaiyuan, and it only takes less than two days to spread the news.

This matter was settled, and the meeting was basically completed, but since everyone came together today, Zhu Yijun also fulfilled the promise he made to Shen Shihang during the previous slander case.

At that time, he replied that he would ask Gao Yushi to understand the situation face to face about the so-called slander of the emperor. Now it is more convenient and more fair to ask in front of all the cabinet elders.

However, there is nothing worth mentioning about this matter. "Slandering the emperor" is a frame-up, and Shen Shixing's proposal is only to protect those officials who speak too much. At this time, the case of slandering the emperor has already been concluded, let's talk about it There is no way to talk about it.

Therefore, Gao Yushi explained a few words casually, and Shen Shixing, on behalf of the cabinet, expressed his understanding of his defense, and the matter was considered to be exposed.

Gao Yushi once hoped that the situation of Wang Xijue jumping into the pit would not happen. Wang Xijue would not jump into the pit at all, but other goals were basically achieved; Caught a few typical ones.

On the whole, both sides are not very satisfied this time, but they are still within their respective acceptance ranges.Now that the emperor picked such a time to bring up the matter, he probably meant to persuade him to make peace.That being the case, let's do it first.

On the way back, since the palace could only be walked on foot anyway, Zhang Xueyan and Wu Dui simply found Gao Yushi to "chat a few words".Because Zhang Xueyan was a minister of the household department, he was in charge of the household department in the cabinet, and Wu Dui was in charge of the military department, which was also related to this war. It seemed normal for them to seek high pragmatism.

Zhang Xueyan was mainly worried about the situation of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Liaodong's military reserve work had not been going on for a long time, and the imperial court was currently short of money. It was hard to say whether it would be able to reserve as planned in the next three years.Now that such a incident has occurred, the pressure on the household department is obviously even heavier. Zhang Xueyan is worried whether Gao Yushi can handle it.

As for Wu Dui, he quite believed in Gao Pragmatic's financial management ability. He sought Gao Pragmatically mainly because he wanted to get a relatively accurate "available quota" - after all, he couldn't let the Liaodong side open up.

In fact, these are all trivial matters. Gao Yushi gave Zhang Xueyan an affirmative answer, saying that as long as the Jiangnan Commercial Taxation can be settled, these expenses will not be a problem.

Zhang Xueyan was a little worried, and asked what should I do if I couldn't get it off?Gao Wushi said that even if there is an accident and it is really impossible to take it down, he also has emergency measures so that Mr. Zhang Ge doesn't have to worry.

Although Gao Yushi didn't say what the emergency measures were, judging from past experience, Gao Yushi's words were more reputable, so Zhang Xueyan stopped asking.

Wu Dui's question was easy to answer. Gao Yushi told him that Liaodong's current reserves can be fully supplied except for armor and cold weapons. You need to ask the Wang family's arsenal.Not only firearms can be used openly, but even winter clothes and food can be supplemented according to the full satisfaction of combat.

Wu Dui was a little surprised, and the firearms were ignored. After all, Jinghua’s Kaiping Industrial Zone is not far from Liaodong, and it can also be transported by sea to inland rivers.But he was a little surprised that winter clothes and food were available.

In this regard, Gao Wushi explained that this year's corn production is said to be increasing gratifyingly. Next year and even in the future, the planting area will definitely continue to expand, and the production will climb strongly. By then, the Liaodong Army's food problem will definitely be solved.Even not only the problem of food, but also the feeding of war horses will be guaranteed-more than half of corn is used as feed raw material in later generations of China, and it is a very good feed raw material.

Of course, in fact, the corn that Gao Wuyang planted in Liaodong was not completely smooth, especially the problem of breeding.The origin of this thing is in the Americas, so it must be a bit unacceptable to suddenly transplant it to China, and the climate and environment in Liaodong are not good enough for the corn seeds he "introduced" by stealing, so many lands have been abandoned. .

But the rest of them can be regarded as fine varieties cultivated locally. Although they are still far below the level of later generations in terms of yield and taste, if the taste is not considered and only the problem of food is solved, even if Even the corn is pretty good right now.

As for the output, although the unit output is only about half of that of later generations, that is not a problem. What is the population of Liaodong today?As long as the planting area is expanded, none of these matters.As for the planting area... I am ashamed to say that Liaodong now has a lot of wasteland. If you want to expand, you can expand it. As long as the labor force is in place, there is no need to worry about running out of land for the time being.

Even in those weakly alkaline lands in southern Liaoning that are not suitable for growing food, all kinds of corn that do not require careful care are not a problem at all-it doesn’t matter if the unit yield is lower, I don’t care about the vast land and sparse population in Liaodong. Jiangnan!

As for the winter clothes, this is also a credit to the high pragmatism.Although tussah silk is also silk, its price is not as unattainable as silk, and Liaodong is particularly suitable for the tussah silk industry, which has developed rapidly under the push of high pragmatism.

Of course, winter clothes must not only wear a few layers of silk, but more importantly, cotton.The sunshine situation in Liaodong is actually not bad, especially in southern Liaoning. The development of the cotton industry can also be called gratifying-this "happy" is also based on the population of Liaodong.At least three years later, Liaodong's cotton production will definitely be able to supply the Liaodong Army's winter clothing needs.

In terms of weaving technology, there is a copycat enhanced version of the Jenny spinning machine produced by Jinghua, which naturally greatly improves the production capacity.As for how to adapt to cotton textiles, Gao Pragmatism has never been in charge of the whole process-Jinghua has raised various master craftsmen for many years, and there must be some gains.

On the way back, Gao Wushi thought carefully about Nurhachi's intention of going north this time.He found that Nurhachi's move this time may not be as simple as dividing the North and South Passes equally with Tumen. It may be because the development of Fushun Pass has reached its limit, so he needs to expand now.

Right now there are three horse markets in Kaiyuan: Xin'an Pass, Guangshun Pass and Zhenbei Pass, while Fushun has only one.

In terms of the frequency of the mutual market, in the early years of Wanli, there was one market in Fushun every three days, and the principle of opening is that there is a market every day.

The number of people in the mutual market, the number of people in the Fushun mutual market is no more than a hundred people per batch, while the number of people in the Kaiyuan mutual market is often hundreds, or even more than a thousand.For the single tax collection in Mashi, Kaiyuan usually collects more than 40 taels for each batch of barbarian buyers and sellers, and the maximum can reach a hundred taels, while the tax for each batch of barbarian buyers and sellers in Fushun is about [-] taels.

For the overall tax collection in the horse market, remember to be more pragmatic.Three months from April to July in the sixth year of Wanli: Fushun Horse Market collected a total of 260 taels of tax money; from the autumn of Wanli Year 11 in July to September, Kaiyuan’s old management of the horse market collected cents It's as high as 760 taels.

In the summer of the sixth year of Wanli, more than 150 taels of silver were used for the rewards of the horse market in Fushun, and more than 11 taels of silver were used for the autumn rewards of the Kaiyuan horse market in the 480th year of Wanli.

As for the traded items in the two cities, there are quite a few differences: in the Fushun Horse Market, all the goods produced by Jianzhou Jurchen are sold, such as grain, linen, horses, ginseng, roe skin, and fungus, and the items bought are pigs. Cattle.The items traded in Kaiyuan Horse Market involve Jianzhou, Haixi, Savage Jurchen and Mongolian tribes, Jianzhou Jurchen ginseng and honey; Haixi Jurchen pine nuts, fungus, mushrooms, hazelnuts; Savage Jurchen mink fur and fox fur , roe skin and other furs; Mongolian horses, sheepskins, sheepskin jackets, felts, etc.

Therefore, if Nurhachi wants to get rid of the danger that Gao Yu used the ginseng trade to kill him last time, one of the things that can be considered at present is to go north to Kaiyuan.In this way, the scope of business has been expanded so that it will not be limited to the single commodity of ginseng.

"Hmph, quite ideal." Gao Wushi snorted softly.
