In addition, the Mongolian tribes were attached, and the opening of the horse market could not only solve the problem of horses, cattle and sheep for the soldiers and civilians of Liaodong, but also attract businessmen from Shandong and Jiangnan.
Daily necessities such as needles, threads, and seasonings for iron pots can basically make huge profits as long as they can be transported to the horse market for trading.
Liaodong's government giving up its monopoly and giving some opportunities to foreign merchants will undoubtedly be an effective means to promote commerce and accelerate prosperity in the long run.
"Selling mirrors to Mongolian princes should make a lot of money." Guo Dajing thought about his own business again, although a considerable part of the profits was invested in the Dongjiang Army.
"In addition to cattle, sheep and horses, we have purchased a large amount of wool from various Mongolian tribes, and the conditions are almost complete to start the wool spinning industry in Liaodong." Guo Dajing ate mutton in his mouth, and his thoughts became broader.
With the development of the wool textile industry, Liaodong can gradually solve the clothing problem. Being able to be self-sufficient in food and clothing has always been the goal that Guo Dajing wanted to achieve.
More importantly, the wool spinning industry requires a large number of workers. To be precise, female workers are the best. This not only promotes employment and increases the income of ordinary people, but also promotes business prosperity.
In Liaodong, women still have a relatively relaxed environment for employment. In order to survive, there are not so many feudal ideological constraints.
Especially for newly arrived immigrants, the whole family works together, and there is no reason to support others. They all hope to settle down as soon as possible and have no worries about food and drink as soon as possible.
These plans are all in Guo Dajing's mind, and some of them have been written down, but they are relatively rough. But the preparations have already begun, such as hiring Western technicians, formulating the wool spinning process, and a small amount of trial production.
At that time, at least in the Ming Dynasty, there was no wool spinning. The Mongols either discarded the wool or rolled it into felt, which was the simplest rough processing.
Although in the early days, the materials woven from wool may not be as delicate and comfortable as cotton. But for the common people, cheapness is the last word.
In fact, there is no need for Guo Dajing to come up with any complicated business methods. As long as there is no war and the people have enough to eat, Liaodong, which is in desperate need of prosperity, will soon stabilize and prosper.
Since Liao coins are circulating internally and have been recognized by the people, there is no need to engage in high technology such as bonds and fund-raising.
Just like a new regime that has just ended the war, it is full of waste and people are at ease. As long as there is enough land, it is easy to rebuild and develop.
"The imperial court wants to send eunuchs to supervise the army. In my opinion, they are much better than civilian officials." Mao Wenlong said casually: "It is naturally better to be content with one's duties like Fang Zhenghua."
Guo Dajing already knew that he was probably sent by Gao Qiqian. This guy's greed and incompetence were famous in history. But when he arrived in Liaodong, he wanted to show off his power, but that was blind to him.
Even the emperor didn't pay attention to him, let alone a eunuch. But Guo Dajing didn't say anything. After all, he hadn't arrived yet and he didn't know what his virtue was.
"If the Liaodong Dusi Prefecture is reestablished, the military eunuchs will not be able to interfere in government affairs, but it will not have much impact." Guo Dajing said lightly: "Besides, if he dares to be rampant in our territory, we will deal with him."
Mao Wenlong could only shake his head in response to Guo Dajing's often arrogant words and persuade him, "After all, he is a personal servant of Long Live, and he is also sent by the imperial court. If it is not too excessive, it is better to save some face."
To give face to Chongzhen or to the court? Guo Dajing rolled his eyes secretly and did not take Mao Wenlong's advice seriously.
I will give you face only if you need face. Look at what the Ming Dynasty is like now, and look at the virtues of the emperor and ministers. It is really difficult to inspire awe and respect.
"Is there any new news about Marshal Mao from the imperial court?" Guo Dajing changed the subject and said solemnly: "Commander, I have discussed this with you before, so please don't waver."
Mao Wenlong nodded vigorously and said: "Don't worry, I know that I will keep my word and will not go back on my word."
Guo Dajing hoped that Mao Wenlong would not become his weakness. Even if he could be ruthless, Mao Wenlong's influence on the Dongjiang Army would still cause him great trouble once it was used by the court.
It is impossible to go to the capital. Even if he retires and returns to his hometown, Guo Dajing can feel at ease. After all, his next military actions are likely to frighten the court and take countermeasures.
Of course, Mao Wenlong had no idea how earth-shattering or treasonous things his promising successor would do.
Being a warlord was already Mao Wenlong's greatest ideal, and he was not the kind who was too tough on the court.
And Guo Dajing's goal is not only the Nine-Five Supreme Being of the Ming Dynasty, but his ultimate ideal is to dominate the world. This world is vast and boundless beyond the imagination of Mao Wenlong and others, and it is almost the entire world.
"Can the imperial court hand over Shanhaiguan to our army for garrison?" Guo Dajing asked sarcastically while chewing barbecue: "It used to be Guan Ning's army, but now it's only Ningyuan. In other words, Liaodong outside Shanhaiguan was given to us by the imperial court."
Mao Wenlong took a sip of wine, smiled, and said: "Shanhaiguan must be guarded by troops sent by the imperial court. Otherwise, how can the princes in the imperial court sleep well?"
It saved some face for Chongzhen and did not say that the emperor was going to have a nightmare. But the original precautions against Liao Town must now be transferred to the Dongjiang Army.
The pacification of Liaodong was certainly a great joy, but from it, Chongzhen and his courtiers also saw clearly the strength of the Dongjiang Army. As there was no way to weaken and control it for the time being, prevention was a must.
But Guo Dajing disapproved of this, and even looked down upon him with contempt. If the Dongjiang Army wanted to enter the pass to rebel, Tianjin and Qinhuangdao would be the best places to land.
What's more, you can also learn from Jianlu and enter the pass through the side wall. Tens of thousands of cavalry will be difficult for the Ming army in the pass to resist.
"Since the imperial court is so vigilant, it may be difficult to obtain permission to expand camps in Tianjin and Qinhuangdao."
Guo Dajing frowned and said slowly: "However, the court's delay in issuing the reward money is a good reason for bargaining."
Not only should we expand the camps for victims in Tianjin, but we should also set up camps inland, such as Baoding, Zhengding, and even directly to Taiyuan.
First, it is to facilitate the transportation of disaster victims so that they will not die of cold and starvation on the road. As for local governments, they basically cannot count on it.
Secondly, they used this to spread their intelligence and stockpile supplies to prepare for future battles within the pass.
"As long as there are no troops stationed, the imperial court will probably agree." Mao Wenlong said uncertainly: "In terms of the reward of silver, it is indeed the imperial court's fault and unfair to the soldiers of Pingliao. If it is publicized, who will be willing to fight bravely?"
This is to the point. The Ming Army in Guannai is making every effort to suppress the peasant uprising, and naturally they do not want this negative news to affect the enthusiasm of the officers and soldiers for combat.
He had no money and wanted to save face. Guo Dajing complained about this, and he didn't want to suffer the loss of being dumb.
Immigration will be the key to the reconstruction and recovery of Liaodong. This reason should make the court agree. Anyway, it is not easy to take advantage. Even the emperor has to pay other prices.
