Chapter 231: Meeting of Senior Relatives ([-])
Qi Jiguang's sketch is a real sketch.But Gao Wushi still quickly saw that the line he drew on the top of the paper was the Great Wall defense line of Ming Dynasty, and the circles of different sizes drawn to the south of the line included Jizhou, Some cities including Yongping Province.

Suddenly, Qi Jiguang drew a line from the circle in Jizhou City, and went all the way to the right through several small circles to Yongping Mansion, and then continued to connect to Shanhaiguan from Yongping Mansion to the right. [Wufeng Note: I personally recommend a set of maps here, which are Ming Dynasty series maps drawn by a net name "Ningnan Zuohou". Very detailed, I personally quite like it. ]
At this time, Gao Wushi suddenly discovered that Kaiping Town was not on this line, and its location was a bit lower than this line. Geographically speaking, it was about tens of miles to the south.

Qi Jiguang saw the surprise in Gao Yushi's eyes, and then he smiled with satisfaction: "Gao Shidu can see it now? From Jizhou to Shanhaiguan, in terms of the shortest distance, the road only needs to go through Yutian County, Fengrun County, Yongping Prefecture, Funing County, and Kaiping Town are located a little to the southeast of Fengrun County... But the problem lies here. The distance between Fengrun County and Yongping Prefecture is the farthest among the counties on this road. station, and Kaiping is not on this line!"

Gao Wushi immediately added: "In other words, between Fengrun County and Yongping Prefecture, it is necessary to build a new county or military town, because Kaiping is not at this optimal point, so it can be moved to the northeast as a whole. Dozens of miles!"

Qi Jiguang laughed with satisfaction, and said: "That's right, Gao Shidu's eyes are burning like a torch——Based on my estimation, we need to move our defenses about seventy miles to the northeast."

Of course, Qi Jiguang did not measure the distance, but his "estimation" was very accurate, because the line he just mentioned is almost a section of the Beijing-Harbin Expressway in later generations, and Kaiping is the part of Tangshan in later generations. The Beijing-Harbin Expressway is almost halfway between Fengrun County and Luanhe County, which is less than 37 kilometers away, which is about [-] miles according to Qi Jiguang.

It seems that the reason why people are famous is that they really have the ability to show them. Let alone training and fighting, if one's own defense area is familiar to such a degree, isn't it necessary to win every battle?

Gao Yushi stared at the "best position", and his mind turned: How can we move the Kaiping Zhongtunwei to there?
Qi Jiguang laughed at this time: "Gao Shidu, don't read it."

Gao Wushi was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Qi Jiguang with an inquiring expression.

"Let Qi take care of this matter." Qi Jiguang said with a smile, "However, I hope Gao Ge will speak justice for Qi in court when he gets old."

Gao Wushi suddenly realized.Dare Qi Jiguang felt that the location of Kaiping Town was not good enough for a long time, and he might have hoped that it could be moved to the northeast to make up for the missing point on the Yifeng Post Road. Most of the court refused.

But it’s different now. Gao Wushi himself took the initiative to buy land near Kaiping. Since the vicinity of Kaiping is full of military farms, although most of them are cheap wasteland, there are still some fields after all. So Qi Jiguang, as the general soldier of Jizhou, can Shangshu imperial court said that it would be better to sell the military farmland here, and the money from the sale of the land would be used to move the guards in Kaiping, so as to plug the only loophole on this post road.

The biggest advantage of his method is that it is obviously the same thing. The imperial court actively sells the military settlements to move defenses and is pragmatic and forced to buy military settlements to open mines. Obviously, the former is a normal operation, while the latter will be the world's best. looked sideways.

Qi Jiguang kills two birds with one stone, wonderful!

According to his method, he just shifted the initiative to a different position. As a result, not only will there be no turmoil between the government and the public, but also the construction of transportation channels and defensive bases along the post road will be done, and Gao Wushi will buy Kaiping to mine and set up a factory. Also became!

This is not killing two birds with one stone, this is killing three birds with one stone!

Gao Wushi asked resolutely: "What Dudu Qi means is that you went to the Shu to ask the imperial court to allow Kaiping Zhongtun to move its defense?"

"Of course." Qi Jiguang nodded.

Gao Wushi thought for a while, and then asked: "How about the cost? You just said that I want to buy land from the beginning?"

Qi Jiguang was taken aback for a moment, and asked back, "Can't you?"

Gao Wushi murmured: "It's not about whether we can do it or not. It's just that the cooperation between us...will it be too obvious? If someone wants to make a fuss about this..."

Qi Jiguang was surprised, and thought: Is this really a child less than ten years old?Why do you have to think about the way out before everything, which is a bit like the saying in military books that "the victory is not expected, but the defeat is expected first"?Could this be the Gao family's family background and official experience?However, Mr. Gao Ge doesn't seem to act like this!

Of course, Gao Gong was born as a Jinshi, a scholar in the Hanlin Academy, and later an emperor's teacher. For him, as long as Long Qing is in power, there is no need to expect defeat.How about being pragmatic?In his previous life, he was only a small secretary. In the government unit, the ability to survive is to observe words and actions, and do things reliably, which has formed a habit.

And in this life, he is the only one who knows that Long Qing's birthday is not long, and he is also the only one who knows that Gao Gong, the friend of Long and Wan, has "succumbed to a catastrophe". What?Of course, you have to clean up the bottom of your butt first, or else wait for Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao to settle the matter?Even if Zhang Juzheng still has some face, he doesn't have to put the entire Gao family to death, but Feng Bao has always brought up the case of Minister Wang in order to frame Gao Gong, who has already retired from office. I don't want any face!Can Gao Pragmatic be a little more careful?

"Then, what does Yi Gao Shidu mean?" Qi Jiguang originally thought that if Gao Gong agreed to this matter, it would basically be easy to handle. To tell the truth, he should not object—on this point, Qi Jiguang believed in Zhang Juzheng.It's just that Gao Wushi doesn't want to bear the rumors right now, so Qi Jiguang has nothing to do. After all, he himself has always been surrounded by rumors. If he has the ability to solve the problem of rumors, why is this so?

Gao Wushi thought for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "There is a way."

Qi Jiguang looked at him in surprise, and asked, "Will the plan be released?"

Gao Wushi narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the scenery outside the tower, and said slowly, "Auction."

"Auction?" Qi Jiguang was stunned: "What is an auction?"
