Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 2145 General Baikui (Forty) Instructions (Part [-])
Gao Yushi didn't care too much about Wang Tingzhuan's slightly exaggerated praise, but continued to add: "How to do these accounts specifically, how accurate each item needs to be, considering that you have not had a corresponding staff before. , so I have specially prepared a group of people for you, all of whom have studied in the Finance Department of Jinghua Craftsman School, and you will pick a dozen or so to take to Gansu."

"Liantang." When Gao Wushi said this, he suddenly became serious again, looked at Wang Tingzhuan seriously, and said, "The relationship between you and me is extraordinary, and I don't want to beat around the bush with some things. These people are assigned to you, aren't you?" I want to interfere with your errands in Gansu, but this is a big matter. If there is no such a group of professionals to help, even if I go to Ganzhou in person, I can't finish so many things in three months. So, I hope you Be considerate and don’t misunderstand.”

Wang Tingzhuan was indeed slightly displeased when Gao Yushi asked him to take so many people to Gansu to take up his post.This is because according to the established practice of the Ming Dynasty, the chief official of a locality may not be personally responsible for much "business work", and more often he just takes a general direction, and the staff team is often the one who actually does things for the official.

Therefore, the higher the official, the greater the real power in the hands of his staff, and at this moment, Gao Yushi directly asked him to bring "a dozen" "staff" trained by Jinghua to the past, so Wang Tingzhuan basically did not have to bring What kind of staff, it means that if this staff group wants to, it can easily lift him up.

However, Gao Pragmatism directly pointed out this matter, and the nature is different.What kind of person is Gao Pragmatic? Wang Tingzhuan is basically sure when he asks himself.Simply put, this is a capable minister with great ideals.

In Wang Tingzhuan's view, Gao Yushi definitely wants to carry out a major reform with huge and far-reaching influence, but he has learned the lesson of Wang Anshi in the Song Dynasty, and he did not introduce a lot of reform measures at once, while making society suffer. It is difficult to adapt to the level, and on the one hand, the old interest groups want to eat their flesh raw.In the end, the reform was aborted due to problems caused by some mistakes in employment, and it was later regarded as a typical example of "nonsense" reform for a long time.

In Wang Tingzhuan's eyes, high pragmatism not only has big ideals, but also has a deep city, and it is very important to hide things in your heart.People who can't help but yell everywhere when they have any ideas are always the most unreliable. If you make friends with this kind of people, or even talk to them, then no matter whether they are active or passive, intentional or unintentional, there is a high probability that they will fall into the trap sooner or later. you.

Gao Yushi never mentioned his final idea of ​​reform, but he always launched an appropriate reform at the right time, and when you thought he just saw the opportunity and took action, when you look back, you find that he has already done so. layout for many years.

This is astonishing, even terrifying.Because it means that when you don't even notice the signs of the problem, he has already figured out the solution and deployed his strength in advance, so that he can solve it as soon as the problem arises.

What level of "big doctor" is this?This is Bian Que's elder brother's level, but he chose the timing of his second brother's attack!
Bian Que's elder brother is that you are not sick yet, so he first finds a way to keep you from getting sick; his second brother is that you just have symptoms, and he is easily blocked by him when you are still in the mild stage of minor illness, so that you cannot get serious illness.

The reason why Gao Yushi could not choose to be "Big Brother Bian Que" is because the disease did not originate in his time, so he can only solve it immediately when the disease occurs.However, considering his early deployment, it is conceivable that he is actually doing the work of the second brother at the level of the eldest brother, and there is no need to wait until the serious illness like Bian Que to treat him.

Big ideals and strong abilities, this is Wang Tingzhuan's evaluation of high pragmatism.In addition, there is another most critical problem: Gao Pragmatism seems to have no selfishness.To be honest, this is what Wang Tingzhuan couldn't understand the most.

For thousands of years in China, everyone knows the high-sounding words, but how many people can you find who are dedicated to the public?

Yes, Gao Yushi is now the richest man in the world. It seems a little awkward to say that he is "one-hearted for the public", but if you really think about it, you can't help but ask another question: His Jinghua is really built for himself to collect money ?
How much has Jinghua done in the past 20 years, and how much has it contributed to the "Wanli Zhongxing" of the Ming Dynasty?

Without Jinghua, would the Ming Dynasty be able to deter Mongolia's new cavalry army like this after years of training?Without Jinghua, did the hundreds of thousands of musketeers and artillery of the imperial court fall from the sky?Without Jinghua, would the maritime trade of tens of millions of taels a year and the imperial revenue of millions of taels come out of thin air?Without Jinghua, would the trade between the north, south, east, west and various countries be as grand as it is today?Without Jinghua...it's unimaginable!
But even so, Gao Wushi is more ruthless to Jinghua than anyone else!The most direct evidence is that Jinghua pays the highest proportion of taxes in the country every year, and the total amount is naturally the highest in the country!
How tall?It is basically on the same level as Nanzhili, the richest place in Ming Dynasty!What is this concept?You know, the autumn grain tax in Nanzhili accounted for nearly a quarter of the entire Ming Dynasty!

[Note: According to the data of the sixth year of Wanli (1578) in the original history, the autumn grain in Nanzhili accounted for 23% of the whole country.The reason why we don’t talk about summer grain is because summer grain accounts for as high as 20.49% in Southern Zhili, and secondly because summer grain is not the main force, but autumn grain is.Of course, the tax arrears in the south is relatively more serious than that in the north, and the actual payment may be slightly different.But at least from the available data, the statement of "nearly a quarter" should not be a big problem. ]
A Jinghua pays a tax that is almost equivalent to that of the entire South Zhili in one year. If this tax rate is placed on other people and other families, it can be called breaking the family for the country!But, did Gao Wushi say anything?No.

Not only did he not have one, but he added such an exaggerated tax rate step by step, which was the only one in the whole country, and there was no semicolon.And this is the most hard-core reason why no one has ever impeached Gao Pragmatism on the issue of "money".

The family has paid a tax in Nanzhili, and has never caused any social turmoil, and even attracted many people to make a fortune with him. How can people impeach him?The dog bites the hedgehog, and there is no way to eat.

Since he was such a person, Wang Tingzhuan naturally knew that Gao Yushi asked him to take Jinghua's staff team to Gansu because Gao Yushi wanted to do something.The reason why Wang Tingzhuan was a little displeased at first was because he felt that Gao Yushi did not believe in his own ability.

However, like a prophet, Gao Wushi took the initiative to give the steps: "Even if I go to Ganzhou in person, I can't finish so many things in three months."

After saying this, Wang Tingzhuan's anger immediately went smoothly - Tianxia Wealth Management No. 1 had already said that if he didn't bring these people along, he wouldn't be able to handle it himself.That being the case, it is only natural for me, Mr. Wang, to bring these people along!
"Yuanfu don't worry, the lower officials will naturally understand the truth." Wang Tingzhuan complied, and naturally stepped down the donkey, taking advantage of the situation, and then asked: "Then, what is the third thing Yuanfu said?"

Gao Wushi took a deep breath and let it out slowly, and said in a deep voice: "The third thing is to define the powers and responsibilities of the three important officials in this battle."

Wang Tingzhuan was startled when he heard this, and secretly felt something was wrong. He glanced at Xiong Tingbi next to him, but saw that Xiong Tingbi's expression was calm, so he looked away again, and asked pragmatically, "What is Yuanfu's decision?"

Gao Yushi said solemnly: "How the frontline army fights, the power and responsibility are all in the province (Liu Ting); the rear military supplies and food and grass are guaranteed, the power and responsibility are all in the Liantang; the local government and the army discipline, the power and responsibility are all in the air."

Without waiting for Wang Tingzhuan and Xiong Tingbi to ask questions, Gao Wushi continued: "The so-called rights and responsibilities are nothing more than the jurisdiction of orders. For example, if the front line is not well fought, as long as the supply of Liantang is guaranteed at this time and Feibai is already If the rules and regulations are in order, then I will only ask Liu Xingwu the responsibility for the failure of the war. As for the contributions of the two of you, there should be no less, and you will not be affected by Liu Xingwu.

In other words, if you in Liantang cannot supply the supplies Liu Xingwu needs on the front line in full, and you lose the battle in the end, then you will be the first offender in Liantang, and Liu Xingwu will be the second. However, no matter you win or lose, Fei Bai will not be able to shirk your responsibility. "

Xiong Tingbi originally wanted to wait for Wang Tingzhuan to express his position first, but Wang Tingzhuan seemed to be lost in thought and did not speak for a while.

He was worried that the scene would be cold, and Yuan Fu's face would not look good, so he said first: "Ting Bi has already made preparations to wrap his body in horse leather. Since he is not afraid of death, he is naturally not afraid of killing people. Since Yuan Fu said so today It is so clear that Tingbi also dared to issue a military order: If the military discipline of this war is broken, I will kill the criminals first, and then ask Yuanfu to kill me!"

Xiong Tingbi said this resolutely, Gao Yushi slapped the table, and praised loudly: "Okay, you have a responsibility! But the military law you have to follow on this trip is different from usual. The cabinet will send someone to lead me to the army later. I will give you a copy of the military order at that time, and you can handle it according to that.”

Gao Yushi has his own set of military orders, and Xiong Tingbi knows this.Not only did he know it, but he almost remembered it—because the highly pragmatic military order was not only uncomplicated, it was even less stringent than the imperial court's military law.

Daming's military law is extremely strict when you say it, and you can see all kinds of "cut", "cut" and "cut" at a glance.For example, when a general is lecturing on the stage, the soldiers below, let alone whispering, turn their heads and look back.

The question is, your military law is so strict, does it really have high enforceability?Obviously not.Maybe it can be done roughly in the early days of the founding of the country, but after waiting for ten or twenty years, this kind of system will definitely become a dead letter, and no one will care about it in the end.

Because, no one can lead troops according to this system at all-who knows that one night when they go to bed, their soldiers will have their heads chopped off.Very

The highly pragmatic policy of governing the army is extremely "lenient and benevolent", and there are very few crimes that need to be punished, and there are not many in total.On the contrary, many items that were regarded as felonies according to the original military law have either become "confinement for a certain (various) day" or "fine a certain (various) two for a certain amount of money" in Gao Yushi's case. Clean the toilets of the headquarters (up to the company level) for one month.

It seems that this punishment is quite light, and it even makes a layman think it's a joke, but in fact it's just the opposite. There are always very few violations of discipline in the high-level military.

The truth is actually very simple. In the past, it was almost difficult to actually implement what was said to be punished. Everyone has long been used to not taking it seriously.Most discipline violations in the high-level military are only confinement and fines, which seem to be no big deal.

However, confinement is difficult to implement in wartime, so it is usually converted into fines, and fines are very simple to implement, but they are really terrible-you make a small mistake, and you will be fined one or two silver at every turn. The last few times I did it for nothing this month, it would be too terrible-I really paid for my life, how could I stand such indiscretion!

And when you get used to the military tenet of "no disobedience in the old army of Gaoge", and some minor problems that were not taken seriously at first are corrected by yourself after several fines, then you will naturally form good behavior habits over time. .Three people form a crowd, when everyone is like this, then the ethos of an army will change drastically, and it will be completely new from then on.

Therefore, the highly pragmatic attitude has always been clear: laws need not be too harsh, but enforcement must be very strict.

The significance of the existence of military law is to enable the army to order and prohibit, and to have a set of behaviors suitable for war, not to kill its own soldiers.On the contrary, killing one's own soldiers at every turn will only create a gap between officers and soldiers, and even an irreparable rift.

After such a long period of time, once something happened that made the officers unable to suppress it, wouldn't it be natural for the soldiers to gather and rebel?And this in turn continued to deepen the contradictions between the two sides, leading to mutual vigilance and no trust at all.

At this moment, Wang Tingzhuan suddenly said: "According to what Yuanfu said, I will be in Ganzhou, while Liu Xingwu is far away in the Western Regions. The two sides are thousands of miles away, so naturally it is inconvenient for me to control them remotely. This is the title I have no objection to what should be in it.”

Gao Wushi breathed a sigh of relief quietly, but unexpectedly Wang Tingzhuan continued: "However, I suddenly had some understanding of the three important things that Yuanfu identified, and I wanted to tell Yuanfu to listen to see if I guessed wrong. "

These words aroused Gao Wushi's interest, and he said with a smile, "Please tell me about Liantang, I know everything."

"The first thing is to clean up the payment arrears. In the final analysis, this matter has only one purpose: to stabilize the morale of the people and the army in Gansu, so that the local people and the local guards will willingly support the dispatch of troops.

The second thing is to organize your weapons.This matter is based on the premise that the hearts of the local people and the army have been guaranteed, to clarify their own strength, so as to determine follow-up supplies and ensure front-line combat power.

The third thing is to determine the rights and responsibilities.This matter is to clarify the respective errands of the three members, to ensure that the three members do not infringe on each other's rights and responsibilities (sit together), put an end to mutual blame, slander, etc., and work together to conquer the West. "

Gao Wushi was delighted to hear that, and was about to speak, but Wang Tingzhuan continued to conclude: "In other words, firstly, the people and the army are settled, and then the momentum is ready to go, and finally, the civil and military forces are united, and the army goes out - I don't know what Yuan Fu thought the subordinates saw. How much do you get?"

"Ten percent!" Gao Wushi clapped his palms and laughed, and said, "Seeing this in Liantang, I have no worries about this battle!"
