Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 690 Pre-war Preparations (Part [-])
Gao Pragmatic's worry seems to be a bit superfluous at present, because Cen Shaoxun moved to Fenzhou (it has nothing to do with Shanxi, it is a prefecture under the jurisdiction of Sicheng Prefecture, In today's Xiajia Township, Lingyun County, located [-] miles southeast of Lingyun County), she lived in seclusion in a courtyard in Fenzhou.He set up a fishing rock by the Chengbi River here for leisure and recuperation.

After Cen Shaoxun left, the Xu family naturally followed him. After Cen Ling bid farewell to his elder brother, he began to clean up the interior.

Gao Wushi did not take care of his internal affairs, and continued to do inspection work in a serious manner as before in the Siming Mansion, and commuted a few minor cases to show that he was not here just for fun. It doesn't even matter.

As for whether the chieftains believed it or not, he himself believed it anyway.

The civil strife in Sicheng prefecture was very violent that day, and the city was in a mess, but at the end of the count, the property losses of the people were relatively heavy, and the losses of the wolf soldiers were not large.

There were more than 300 chieftains casualties in total, more than 200 and nearly [-] were killed on Huangma's side, and the rest were scattered everywhere. Cen Ling asked Gao Yushi to temporarily hand over the chieftain's soldiers and horses to his command. Troops were mobilized from all parts of Chengzhou, and they were all used to encircle and hunt them down.

After Gao Pragmatic thought, he gave Cen Ling the soldiers and horses of the chieftains of the four Cen clans including Zhen'an and Tianzhou, and promised him a one-month term, and asked him to be responsible for the rewards and pensions of these wolf soldiers during his command. Ling also agreed.

And Gao Yushi himself had to raise money—in fact, it should be said that he was allocating reward money, because he had to honor Cao Kexu's reward.Except for the victories of Gao Jiajiading and Cen Ling's men who don't need money for the time being, the rest of the chieftain wolf soldiers have more than 200 heads on hand, all of which require money for meritorious service.

In addition, Gao Yushi didn't like to make people work for nothing, and with a big wave of his hand, all wolf soldiers would be rewarded with a tael of silver as long as they had participated in the war and did not violate military discipline.

This news was announced in public, and once it was announced, it won Gao Yushi a huge reputation. No matter which wolf soldier mentioned Gao Yushi, he would give a thumbs up and praise him: "Gao Shitai is a heroic and kind man, help him fight What a joy!"

As for the chieftains, Gao Yushi was also unambiguous, and each of them was allowed a set of Yu porcelain (Jun porcelain), or tea sets, cups, or vases, depending on how much they contributed (sent troops).

This reward is not light. After all, "gold is priceless and gold is priceless." Few of these chieftains who have manpower but no financial resources can afford Jun porcelain. A set of family heirlooms, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep. If the Jun porcelain promised to them by Gao Xun had not to be transported from the place of origin, they would have to go back and collect it after receiving the reward overnight.

Gao Pragmatism is also very satisfied. At first, he just failed to meet the expectations of his cheap mother, so he invested money in the restoration of Beici's industry.Unexpectedly, the name of Junci is really famous. Even the chieftains in this kind of mountain know that it is a big thing. When they hear that they want to reward Junci, their eyes turn green, like a pack of hungry wolves, for fear of high pragmatism Talking doesn't count, and if you have nothing to do all day long, you hang around in front of him.

Therefore, Gao Wushi thought of one thing. It stands to reason that Guangxi also produced porcelain clay in later generations. Why is there no porcelain firing industry worth mentioning now?Should I ask my mother, can I support a group of talents who know how to make porcelain to set up a porcelain factory in Guangxi?There is no need to burn Jun porcelain here - in fact, Jun porcelain fired outside the original place seems to be almost nothing, it may be that some trace elements in the raw materials are different.

However, it should be feasible to burn some medium and low-grade porcelain in Guangxi. After Qinzhou Port is completed, Guangxi's porcelain can also be exported to earn foreign exchange.Anyway, those Westerners are not very knowledgeable, and mid-range porcelain is sold to them at a high price.

From this, Gao’s pragmatic thoughts turned back to get rid of poverty and become rich. After staying in Sicheng Prefecture for the same ten days, he distributed the reward money and made an agreement with the chieftains to go to Nanning to receive the reward and hold a meeting a month later, and then he said go home.

Oh, it's not considered going back home, he didn't go back to Guilin, but went east along the Youjiang River and returned to Nanning Mansion.

He is going to hold a conference in Nanning to discuss the "Great Development of Guangxi".

The news that the imperial court approved the transfer of Lianzhou Prefecture (including Qinzhou) to Guangxi has come, and Guangdong and Guangxi provinces are now engaged in handover.In fact, most people in Guangdong didn't feel much about the transfer of Lianzhou to Guangxi. Only some officials related to it were not happy about it. Liu Yaohui had already opposed it when he approved it, and Shen Shixing and Shenge always vaguely helped He said a few words, but was directly refuted by Guo Pu, and the emperor didn't discuss any more.

Guo Pu made up his mind to retire as an official next year, so this year's attitude became more rigid than before. Shen Shixing understood this in his heart, and naturally he didn't want to confront Guo Yuanfu, so he might as well wait until he becomes the second assistant next year to discuss anything.

In Lianzhou, there are actually three ports in later generations: Beihai Port, Qinzhou Port and Fangcheng Port.

In terms of future generations, the three ports are very good, but at this time, the most convenient must be Qinzhou.Because Qinzhou is connected to the river, it is an estuary port, and the traffic is more convenient than the other two places.

There are railways and highways in later generations, but there are no such things these days. How can walking on mountain roads be as convenient as taking waterways?Didn't you see that after Gao Yushi came to the south, he took a boat instead of a horse wherever there was a water post.Since the millennium, China has always been in the north and the south, which is not without reason.

After arriving at the Nanning Procuratorate, good news began to come one after another. Now the "vanguards" of various industries he planned to build in Guangxi have arrived one after another.

The one who came the fastest was the Jia Ding Guard Group led by Gao Yu. Gao Yu felt that since he wanted to prepare to fight in an unfamiliar place like Guangxi, it was essential to be familiar with the environment and climate in advance, so he would rather wait for equipment than wait for others. , first pull the team to Guangxi to adapt to adapt.

But they are still in Qinzhou now, and they haven't reached Nanning all the way - Gao Yu thinks it's better to be fully armed when going to Nanning, otherwise a group of people will run over empty-handed, so as not to be robbed on the way, it would be too ugly .

Although Gao Wushi thinks that the four thousand family members are unlikely to be robbed even if they are empty-handed, it is no problem for them to adapt to Qinzhou first. The seaside climate is easier to adapt to than the mountainous area - at least there will be no miasma and the like on the seaside stuff.

In addition, Guangzhou Port also began to deliver supplies to Gao Yushi under the command of Gao Mengnan. The first batch of [-] shi of grain has arrived in Qinzhou Port (now it is only a small broken port with limited docking capacity), but the new The established inland river transport fleet has not had time to transport them all away, but only transported about [-] shi to Nanning, and the rest has to be transported slowly.

This inland river fleet was said to be "newly built", but it was actually hired temporarily. Although Jinghua's sign was displayed first, there was no Jinghua in the fleet, and the ships were all their own.

Jinghua’s own inland river shipping team in Guangdong and Guangxi is still stuck in the paper plan. If the shipyard does not start up, it will not be able to expand on its own. As for buying ships... First, ships are usually reserved, and finished products are temporarily purchased Second, in order to develop the timber market in Guangxi, the shipyard in the high-level plan is very large, but considering that there are many novices among them, he thinks it is good to let them build some inland waterway ships to practice. train of thought.

In addition, some strategic reserve materials have already arrived at Qinzhou Port, but they are also facing the same trouble as food, that is, Qinzhou Port is still too small and needs to be expanded urgently, otherwise there will be no place to put it.
