Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 737 Various Speculations
So Jiang is still old and hot. When Zhu Yijun watched Gao Yushi Mizuo, he never thought that his seemingly perfect plan would have so many troubles inside.

But Zhu Yijun is really confident in Gao Pragmatism. He feels that these troubles can definitely be solved with highly pragmatic means. The only problem is how to convince these cabinet elders now—I can’t just say "I believe in pragmatism" Let it go, it doesn't sound like Mingjun at all.

He could only explain what he said to Chen Ju that day, and said: "In the mountainous areas of Guangxi, there are not enough acres of land to grow. Let the chieftains change from Guangxi to Annan. They must be willing. It's nothing more than this." How should the replacement ratio be determined? I think... just like what Mr. Zhang said just now, this kind of "doing business" should not be difficult for Gao Pragmatic."

In terms of business, all the elders have nothing to say. Gao Wushi’s ability in this area is obvious. He doesn’t buy land, he doesn’t sell salt, and he has such a big industry in ten years. He's good at business.

After all, he still has serious business in the past ten years - he read and observed politics in front of him, and he himself got the number one score in the six-song exam. Who dares to say that these two things are not serious business?So, no matter how much thought he puts into doing business, everyone can only say that he is just playing around...

But this is too ruthless, I can't even think about it: You just played like this after just playing around? !

You must know that his current industry is even inferior to the Zhang family who monopolizes the Changlu Salt Field. Who would dare to question this level of business?
The Zhang family has indeed monopolized the Changlu Salt Field like a cornucopia, but Gao Pragmatic has almost monopolized the port of Daming!In the past few years, the tax collected by the port has been increasing every year. Everyone is an old man. Who doesn't know?

What does that mean?That means that Gao Pragmatic earns more here!

Except Mr. Guo Pu, who has no interest in money, when all the elders think of this incident, who doesn’t sigh in their hearts: Why didn’t the old man think of going to those broken ports to buy a few pieces of wasteland and tidal flats like Gao Wushi?Watching those lands rise in price and grow faster than bamboo...

But doing business well is doing business, and being able to persuade the chieftain of Guangxi is only one aspect, and what is more critical is what to do with Annan.

Yu Youding took a look at Shen Shixing, took the initiative to take up the topic, and said: "Since the chieftain of Guangxi is willing to send [-] troops to follow the southern expedition, he must be sure to persuade them, and I don't think too much about it." I'm worried. I'm worried that the Annan people are the main ones. Since the Li family and the Zheng family are traitors, it doesn't matter if they are punished. Even if they should take back their territory and distribute it to the chieftain, they must be able to suppress it, but there are only the Li family and the Zheng family. It seems that the family's land is not enough... Is it necessary to divide Mo's territory at that time? Then Mo's was beaten by mistake before, if he still needs to divide his territory in the future, it will easily force them to take risks."

The so-called mistaken attack means that at the beginning, Gao Yushi used the reason of "Mo's assassination" to launch a war. Later, after Mo's pacification, Gao Yushi actually said without blushing that it was a complete misunderstanding before. It was Zheng Song who did it - doesn't this mean that Mrs. Mo was beaten unjustly?Although it is said that in this day and age, it is not necessary for a father to beat his son for reason - I just want to be happy, but this... is still unreasonable.

Especially now that Annan's land is estimated to be insufficient, so what should we do?Wouldn't Mo's be too wronged to divide Mo's land?
It doesn't matter whether you are active or passive, anyway, people followed you to send troops to the south and participated in countering the rebellion. Even if you don't have credit, you still have to work hard.

This is so inhumane, our Daming is a kingdom of heaven after all, it would be embarrassing to do such a thing.

Things like face may not be important when you are dying, but you still have to maintain it at ordinary times. You can’t just do this kind of thing for no reason. Otherwise, with so many vassals and chieftains in Daming, if you know how to work with Daming, it will be beneficial No, even if he was slaughtered, how would he maintain the system of the Heavenly Kingdom?
Zhu Yijun also became embarrassed, and said to himself that it is a matter of being pragmatic, and you have to tell me in advance if there is any way, what should I say now?
On the contrary, Guo Pu suddenly thought of something and asked, "Your Majesty, I seem to remember that the memorandum should have mentioned some measures to stabilize people's hearts in Annan?"

"Oh, yes." Zhu Yijun nodded.

"The emperor forgives the sin. The old minister is old, and some of them don't remember clearly. I don't know if the emperor remembers what he said?"

Zhu Yijun was slightly taken aback, but his memory was not bad, and he said immediately: "Oh, he said that he would compile the civil registration, lower the land tax, establish a school, install new officials, repair water conservancy, and open mining..."

As he spoke, he froze for a moment.

Guo Pu laughed as expected, and said: "It seems that there is indeed a plan. The so-called registration of the people, the land tax, and the establishment of the school are all clichés, and there is nothing to talk about. But the latter three, the old minister probably He has a plan."

Shen Shixing frowned and said, "What's the plan? It's easy to talk about setting up new officials. Once Li Ni and Zheng Ni are eliminated, their affiliated party members will definitely be brought to justice. By then, many official posts will be vacated. Naturally, these positions can be filled. Some people, but who are these positions used for? The chieftains will definitely not be happy to go, right?"

Of course the chieftains would not do it, even if it was a hereditary prefect, but if it wasn't for the chieftains who are the kind of chieftains who can make a decision on the territory under their control, they would definitely not do it. It would be great to be the emperor.

Yu Youding also said: "That's right, and the construction of water conservancy... Although it will definitely be beneficial in the long run, at least in the short term, it will definitely be a loss. Since the imperial court does not plan to directly govern Annan, the money for water conservancy repairs Who will come out? If Annan comes out, whether Mrs. Mo will take it or not, at least whether he is willing to take it or not, I think it is very difficult to say."

Xu Guo followed up and said: "That is to say, only mining is a good thing that is beneficial to both parties. The imperial court will definitely not travel thousands of miles to Annan to mine. Now, maybe when the time comes, we should distribute a portion of the mining profits to Mo Shi, so as to appease Mo Shi's anger?"

Zhu Yijun coughed lightly, and added: "Oh, Mr. Xu mentioned this matter, I would like to talk about it. Gao Yujun said that at that time, 20 catties of iron ore and [-] catties of copper ore will be paid to the imperial court every year. Or convert it into pig iron, refined iron, wrought copper, bronze, etc. according to the ratio... well, what he said is pure tribute, no need to give back."

All the cabinet ministers glanced at each other, thinking in unanimous agreement: Gao Yushi, could it be that he can "observe the atmosphere of the earth", just arrived in Annan, you know that Annan has copper and iron, and he promised so much not to go back when he opened his mouth A tribute given?

Copper and iron are of course good things. They are strategic materials that are not afraid of too much. The imperial court has nearly 100 million troops on paper. The New Deal has been in place for nearly ten years, and the replacement of a Longqing Type [-] musket has not yet been completed. Well, where is iron not needed?Not to mention copper, copper is not needed for casting money and cannons. Fortunately, Emperor Taizu was wise and powerful, and he held Yunnan firmly in his hands, otherwise the copper shortage in Ming Dynasty would be even worse.

However, the official copper mines of the imperial court are getting worse and worse, and now they are almost out of business, so that every year, the first thing to do is to "comprador the household department" every year, so if there are copper mines in Annan, and they are highly pragmatic, they can provide copper ore for free 2 catties, that is almost [-] catties of copper, which is quite a lot.

If Gao Wushi wants to distribute profits to the Mo family, then... he is planning to dig a lot in Annan. Could it be that this guy is a groundhog and loves digging so much? ——
