Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 816 Imperial Envoy Gao Returns to Datong
Because Gao Gong presided over the tribute and mutual market, and strictly demanded fair trade, and at the same time considered the needs of ordinary Mongolian herdsmen, allowing them to open "small markets". After this series of measures, the Mongolian perception of Gao Gong is really like Look like a Bodhisattva.

According to Cao Gan, when the news of Gao Gong's death reached Tumed, many tribes in Tumed cried, and countless herdsmen took the initiative to follow the custom of the Han people, wearing hemp and filial piety for Gao Gong. Khan is still sad.

Gao Wushi was shocked when he heard that, the Mongols these days are inhuman when they are cruel, but they are as simple as a child if they are simple.

It seems that my thoughts back then were still right. Although there are bloodthirsty people in this world, it is impossible for an entire nation to be bloodthirsty. Many times, bloodthirsty is caused by profit—it’s okay for people to be so poor. , If they don't rob or kill, they will starve to death, so how can they not be bloodthirsty?Ants are greedy for life, what's more, people!

The newly born twin brothers will still grab milk!It can be seen that survival is the foundation of human nature.

However, this also seems to indicate another thing: if Tumed really traded with Daming for decades in peace and stability like in history, and fought wars and so on, then I'm afraid it really won't work.

You know, now because of the relationship between Jinghua, the trade between Daming and Tumed should be larger than in history. In addition, Gao Yushi himself has been importing luxury goods to Tumed, and I am afraid that this will be accelerated. A kind of "corruption".

Of course, there is also good news, that is, his plan to control Tumed should go more smoothly-this is really a double-edged sword, and Gao Yushi feels that he has to think carefully about how to balance it.

And another piece of good news, even great news, is the issue of "becoming a Buddha".

Gao Gong is his third uncle, he is the successor of Gao Gong's mantle known to all the world, so Gao Gong's lofty reputation among the Tumet folk, Gao Gong will not take advantage of it unless he is a fool.

Especially at this point in time, when Tumet is about to have a new Khan, he happens to be in charge of the canonization. This is not to make good use of Gao Gong's prestige, high pragmatism is not high pragmatism !
Leading one thousand Jingying cavalry and three thousand cavalry, Gao Wushi and his party rushed to Datong in a mighty manner.

He found that the scenery along the way was quite different from ten years ago.

Ten years ago, many places that used to be battlefields became barren lands, and now they have been recultivated into fertile fields. Now it is spring, and the fields are busy with spring plowing. The scene of peace and happiness is highly pragmatic. Very pleased.

Especially when the villagers on the side of the road and in the fields knew that the person who came was Gao Ge’s nephew, Gao Longwen, the number one scholar of the six poems of the Ming Dynasty, they hurriedly bowed down. Old Citian", "Thank you Gao Qingtian"...

Gao Wushi almost wiped away tears.

I have been traveling for more than ten years, and my life is finally not in vain!
Uncle, you have a spirit in the sky, can you see the respect and gratitude these ordinary people have for you?

Cao Gan was also full of sighs, and said: "I think back then the villain had no choice but to become a bandit. At that time, how did he know that the court was not really a traitor, and there was still a Qingtian master like Gao Wenzheng who was dedicated to the people..."

Whether it is for the "people" wholeheartedly, Gao Yushi dare not guarantee it, but Gao Gong is indeed doing everything for this Ming Dynasty.

Thinking back now, Sanbo's death was not so much caused by the outburst of emotions caused by the depression of his best friend Zhang Juzheng in the past, but actually more because of overwork... He has always been a workaholic and is getting old.

Alas, I am also incompetent as a nephew, and I can't persuade him to stay by his side.How happy he would be if he could see this scene with his own eyes...

Thinking about it, the nose can't help sore.

Speechless all the way.

When he arrived in Datong, Gao Wushi found out that the three towns of Xuanda seemed to attach great importance to this mission. Governor Xiao Daheng of Xuanfu and Governor Xin Yinggan of Shanxi could not leave their posts without authorization, but they sent their trusted teachers to come. The master claimed to be "waiting for orders".

Zheng Luo, governor of Xuanda, also came to Datong in person, and together with Datong governor Jia Yingyuan, Datong eunuch Liu Ping, and Datong commander-in-chief Ma Jin, greeted the imperial envoy.

Zheng Luo was regarded as a senior with high pragmatism, so Gao pragmatism naturally did not dare to neglect, after going through the imperial envoy etiquette, he smiled and stepped forward to salute.Zheng Luo had a good impression of Gao Dang, the future leader, and laughed and talked with him, and then introduced three other "Big Three of Datong".

Although Jia Yingyuan, the governor of Datong, was a member of the Jin Party, Gao Yushi didn't know him very well. He only knew that his alias was Renfu, and he was from Zunhua County, Zhili.It is said that he was eager to learn since he was a child, and he studied hard, and finally won the Jinshi in the 41st year of Jiajing.

Of course, Gao Yushi had read his basic resume before he came here. He first served as the head of the Construction Department of the Ministry of Industry, in charge of the Linqing Brick and Tile Factory (really called this...), and then worked in Jinan and Yangzhou. He is capable and decisive in handling affairs, and his subordinates dare not pretend to be public servants for personal gain.Later, he was promoted to deputy envoy of Shanxi, and took charge of the logistics work of the army.All the income and expenditure of military salaries and accounts of taxes and tributes managed by him are carefully verified to be accurate, and all officials in Shanxi respect him.

So he moved to Yushi, the capital of Youqin, and governor of Datong.Last year, he also made a list of eight things: increasing the people's fort, adding piers, preparing equipment, strengthening border towns, Zhang garrisoning fields, catching thieves (exempting fugitives from taxes), electing officials, and returning to native soldiers.

Uh... yes, all of them are correct, but it's hard to say whether it will be done well or not.

Gao Yushi met Jia Yingyuan with a junior gift, but Jia Yingyuan refused to accept it, because he said something that Gao Yushi didn't know: he was a student of Guo Pu——Guo Pu was one of the same examiners in that subject , Jia Yingyuan is what he hit.

Fuck...it's Shimen's classmate who has been arguing for a long time.

Since they are classmates, it's easy to talk. The two of them just pointed out their relationship without saying a word, and even the atmosphere became intimate.

This is the characteristic of the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty.

Liu Ping, the local eunuch guarding Datong, is even an old acquaintance—his uncle is Huang Mengyu.

Eunuchs are eunuchs, and they are more arrogant than civil servants, so Liu Ping came up and bowed respectfully to Gao Yushi, and said very affectionately, "Little nephew Liu Ping, I have met Uncle Gao."

Uh... I'm on the same level as your uncle Yao, but when did I promise you to be my nephew?
Well, this can’t be said directly, so Gao Wushi had no choice but to nod his head quietly in the surprised eyes of the other three people, and said with airs: “Get up, before I come, your uncle Yao told me, let me Let's see if you are doing anything wrong under his guise here, if so...he asked me to whip you."

Liu Ping hurriedly said: "How dare my nephew, Datong is the place where Uncle Yao made his fortune. My nephew is very honest and well behaved in Datong. Zheng Zhijun, Jia Junmen and Ma Zongrong can all testify."

"That's good." Gao Wushi nodded and looked towards Ma Jin.

This one, although meeting for the first time, is not an outsider - he is Ma Gui's elder brother.
