Gao Pragmatic didn't want to say these words directly, but it was hard not to say them at this moment, but he was actually too cautious. As his general in the Liao Dynasty, Cao Yu was the one who "snatched money" from prison when he was in charge.
"Come out", now every time I write to him, I will call him "Entang".
For such a person, he naturally has a strong influence. Not to mention that the emperor would not be surprised when he heard it. Even Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue had no special reaction after hearing it. Everyone took it for granted.
In the final analysis, Gao Pragmatic does not want to behave like an official in a "society ruled by man", but always requires his thinking to work in accordance with the "society ruled by law". Whether it is Zhu Yijun, Shen Shixing or Wang Xijue
, they are accustomed to all the rules of society governed by humans, so they think this is normal.
As the saying goes, "Law is nothing more than human feelings", which means that laws generally do not go beyond the emotions of human society, that is, they are basically in line with social ethics and human feelings and thoughts. Therefore, all laws, whether strict or lenient, should be
It is full of humanity.
Of course, the "human feelings" here are not understood as the human feelings spread in society, but refer to human emotions.
From this perspective, the law is the bottom line of morality, and morality is born from human feelings, so the existence of law is to maintain the existence of human feelings. In this case, a rescued person is more willing to obey the request of the rescuer, which is obviously a
A completely reasonable thing.
Perhaps only those who are highly pragmatic will subconsciously downplay this human element and try to just "reason" in everything.
Sure enough, Zhu Yijun smiled and said naturally: "That would be the best. I think you might as well explain it in more detail and let him know how to fight this battle."
Well, this is another typical case of high-pragmatism dependence. In Zhu Yijun's eyes, it seems that as long as Gao-pragmatism is in charge of strategizing, Cao Yu can win this battle by following the example of a cat and a tiger even though he is thousands of miles away.
What's even weirder is that it seems that not only Zhu Yijun thinks so, but Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue also have such concerns.
So Shen Shixing had to stand up at this time and took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, although Cao Yu is the deputy commander-in-chief of Liaoyang, the governor of Liao is in Liaoyang. It is not easy to let the governor take charge of this matter alone.
I think the commander-in-chief of the Liao Dynasty should be in charge of military affairs, and Cao Yun should only be responsible for the frontline operations."
This was the practice of the Ming Dynasty. Although Zhu Yijun knew that Li Song and Gao Yingshi were not from the same family, he could not refuse outright. He just glanced at Gao Yingshi in silence.
Gao Pingshi had his head slightly lowered. After feeling the emperor's gaze directed towards him, he raised his head and said, "I think what Yuan Fu said is true. It is only right that the military affairs in Liaodong should be led by the governor."
Zhu Yijun breathed a sigh of relief. If Gao Jingshi had just refused and insisted on letting Cao Yu command the battle alone, then he would have been more embarrassed. Fortunately, Gao Jingshi was always Gao Jingshi and never made things difficult for the emperor, which prevented the emperor from doing so.
of embarrassment.
But Zhu Yijun didn't notice that Gao pragmatically played a little trick here: Shen Shixing originally only mentioned that Li Song, the governor of Liaodong, should be responsible for this battle, but did not mention Zhou Yong, the governor of Jiliao, but Gao pragmatically responded: "
Led by the Governor”.
Governors and Governors, even though in theory they are both special officials of the Central Committee, they are dispatched officers themselves, and there is no difference in rank. However, customarily speaking, the Governor is in front and the Governor is in the rear. The Governor's duties in the Central Center are usually higher than those of the Governor.
A bit higher. For example, when the governor holds the title of Censor of the Ministry of War, the governor usually holds the title of Minister of the Ministry of War; when the governor holds the title of Minister of the Ministry of War, the governor usually holds the title of Minister of the Ministry of War.
But now, because Li Song was the first governor, his title was not high. He was just the right censor of the Imperial Procuratorate, while Zhou Yong, the governor of Jiliao at this time, had the title of Minister of War.
The Censor of Youqiandu was in the fourth rank, and the Minister of War was in the third rank. Therefore, once Gao pragmatically said that this battle was "led by the governor," of course the governor of Jiliao, Zhou Yong, would take the lead.
What's more, this time is a war. Unless the governor is indifferent or has no skills, the "priority" of management is higher than that of the governor. Therefore, this time is different from when Gao Pragmatism was appointed governor of Liao.
When Gao Jingshi was appointed governor of Liaodong, Zhou Yong, as an official of the Practical School who came from the Henan Township Party, would definitely not disagree with Gao Jingshi. Therefore, Zhou Zitai did not interfere in any of Gao Jingshi's arrangements for Liaodong, and Gao Jingshi was left alone.
People have the final say.
Although Gao Pragmatic didn't know at this time whether Shen Shixing's sudden statement was just to maintain the tradition of civil servants suppressing military ministers, or whether he was trying to find a way to take the lead in this battle so that he could share the credit in the future, or whether he was simply planning to let Li Song drag Cao Yun away.
hind legs.
But in any case, Gao Pragmatic cannot remain indifferent, and must prepare countermeasures to avoid being passive in the future. And who can meet this demand at this time, Zhou Yong, the governor of Jiliao, is obviously the best candidate.
Zhu Yijun didn't notice it, but Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue obviously noticed it, but Gao Pragmatic's words were the same as Shen Shixing's proposition, which was also traditional. Although Shen Shixing felt it was inappropriate, he couldn't find a suitable reason to object.
However, Shen Shixing thought about it secretly and felt that the problem was not too serious, because even if Zhou Yong wanted to intervene, it would not be that easy.
It’s not that it’s not easy to intervene in terms of authority, but it’s determined by the geographical location: the governor of Ji Liao’s residence is in Miyun, which can be said to be right next to the capital, thousands of miles away from the starting point of this battle. And the governor of Liaodong is resident
In Liaoyang, which is only three hundred miles away from Kaiyuan, it only takes less than two days to convey news by fast horse.
The matter was settled, and the meeting was basically completed. However, since everyone was here today, Zhu Yijun also fulfilled the promise he made to Shen Shixing during the previous slander case.
At that time, he approved that he would ask Gao Pragmatic to understand the situation face to face about the so-called slander of the emperor. Now, it is of course more convenient and more fair to ask him in front of all the cabinet ministers.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, there is actually nothing worth mentioning about this matter. "Slandering you" is a frame-up, and Shen Shixing's vote plan is only to protect those who speak excessively.
At this time, the case of slandering the emperor has been concluded, and no further discussion will lead to success.
Therefore, Gao Pragmatic explained a few words casually, and Shen Shixing expressed understanding on behalf of the cabinet, and the matter was considered resolved.
Gao Pragmatic once hoped that Wang Xijue would not jump into the trap, and that Wang Xijue would not jump into the trap at all, but other goals were basically achieved; Shen Shixing's plan to protect the spokesman of his faction also failed to succeed, but fortunately, most of them were protected, but they were
I caught a few typical examples.
On the whole, both parties are not very happy this time, but they are still within their respective acceptance ranges. Now that the emperor has chosen such a time to raise the matter, he probably has the intention of persuading peace. In this case, let's leave it like this for now.
On the way back, since the palace could only be walked on foot anyway, Zhang Xueyan and Wu Dui simply went to Gao Pragmatic to "have a few chats." Because Zhang Xueyan was the minister of the household department, he was in charge of the household department in the cabinet, and Wu Dui was in charge of the household department.
Dui is in charge of the Ministry of War, which is also related to this war. It seems normal for them to seek high positions and be pragmatic.
Zhang Xueyan is mainly worried about the situation in the Ministry of Household Affairs. The military reserve work in Liaodong has been going on for a short time, and the court is currently very short of money. It is hard to say whether the reserve can be carried out as planned in the next three years. Now such a thing has happened.
, the pressure on the household department is obviously even heavier, and Zhang Xueyan is worried about whether Gao Pragmatic can cope with it.
As for Wu Dui, he quite believed in Gao Jingjing's financial management ability. He wanted to find Gao Jingjing mainly because he wanted to get a relatively accurate "available quota" - after all, he couldn't let Liaodong spend it freely.
In fact, these are all trivial matters. Gao Pragmatic gave Zhang Xueyan a positive answer, saying that as long as the Jiangnan Commercial Taxation matter can be settled, these expenses will not be a problem.
Zhang Xueyan was a little worried and asked what he would do if he couldn't get it off. Gao Pragmatic said that even if there was an accident and he really couldn't get it off, he had emergency measures so Zhang Ge didn't have to worry.
Although Gao Jingshi did not say what the emergency measures were, judging from past experience, Gao Jingshi's words were quite reputable, so Zhang Xueyan stopped asking any more questions.
Wu Dui's question was easy to answer. Gao Pingshi told him that Liaodong's current reserves can be fully supplied except for armor and cold weapons. You need to ask the Wang family's arsenal. Not only the firearms can be opened and used, but also winter clothes and cold weapons.
Food can be replenished to fully satisfy the battle.
Wu Dui was a little surprised. Forget about firearms. After all, Jinghua's Kaiping Industrial Zone is not far from Liaodong, and it can also be transported by sea and inland rivers. If it doesn't work, Jinghua can be pragmatic and supply it in advance, which can be regarded as a credit to the court. But winter clothes and
He was a little surprised that food could be freely supplied.
In this regard, Gao Pragmatic explained that this year's corn production is said to be growing at a gratifying rate. Next year and even in the future, the planting area will definitely continue to expand, and the production will climb strongly. By then, the Liaodong Army's food problem will definitely be solved. Not only the food problem,
Including the feeding of war horses will be guaranteed - most of corn was used as feed raw material in later generations of China, and it is a very excellent feed raw material.
Of course, in fact, the corn grown by Gao Jingshi in Liaodong was not completely smooth, especially the breeding issue. The origin of this corn is the Americas, and it must be a little acclimatized when it is suddenly transplanted to China, and the climate and environment in Liaodong are not suitable for him to "introduce it secretly"
"For corn seeds, the adaptability is not good enough, so most of the land was wasted.
But the rest of them can be regarded as locally cultivated improved varieties. Although in terms of yield, taste and other aspects, they are far from the level of later generations, but if you don’t consider the taste and only solve the problem of filling your stomach, even if
The corn right now is pretty good too.
As for output, although the unit output is only about half of that of later generations, that is not a problem. What is the population of Liaodong today? As long as the planting area is expanded, these are not problems. And the planting area... It is shameful to say that the current wasteland in Liaodong is really
Quite a few, if you want to expand, you can expand. As long as the labor force is in place, there is no need to worry about running out of land for the time being.
Even in the weakly alkaline land in southern Liaoning that is not suitable for growing food, the corn that does not require careful care is not a problem at all - if the unit output is lower, it doesn't matter. Liaodong is a vast land with sparsely populated areas.
Jiangnan!
As for winter clothes, this is also the work of Gao Jingjing. Although tussah silk is also silk, its price is not as high as that of silk. Moreover, Liaodong is particularly suitable for the tussah silk industry, which has developed rapidly under Gao Jingjing's push.
Of course, winter clothes must not only wear a few layers of silk, but more importantly, cotton. The sunshine situation in Liaodong is actually pretty good, especially in southern Liaoning. The development of the cotton industry is also gratifying - this "pleasant" is also based on the population of Liaodong.
In other words, at least in three years' time, Liaodong's cotton production will definitely be able to supply the Liaodong Army's winter clothing needs.
In terms of weaving technology, there is a copycat version of the enhanced Jenny spinning machine produced by Jinghua, which naturally greatly increases the production capacity. As for how to adapt to cotton textiles, Gao Pragmatic has not bothered with the whole process - Jinghua has raised various master craftsmen for many years, and there must be some gains.
On the way back, Gao Pragmatic carefully thought about Nurhachi's intention of going north this time. He found that Nurhachi's move this time may not be as simple as dividing the northern and southern passes with Tumen. It may be because the development of Fushun Pass has reached
limit, so he now needs to expand.
There are currently three horse markets in Kaiyuan: Xin'anguan, Guangshun Pass and Zhenbeiguan, while there is only one in Fushun.
In terms of the frequency of mutual markets, in the early years of Wanli, Fushun had one market every three days, and the principle was that there was no market every day.
The number of people in the mutual market in Fushun is no more than a hundred in each batch, while in Kaiyuan there are often hundreds or even more than a thousand people. In the horse market, the tax on a single transaction in Kaiyuan is as high as forty.
More than two taels, and the larger amount can reach a hundred taels, and the tax imposed by the foreigners for each batch of sales in Fushun is about ten taels.
I remember some of the overall tax collection of the horse market. In the three months from April to July of the sixth year of Wanli: Fushun horse market collected a total of 268 taels of tax money; from the autumn of the eleventh year of Wanli, starting from July,
By the end of September, the amount of money drawn by the old manager of Kaiyuan Horse Market was as high as 2,762 taels.
In the summer of the sixth year of Wanli, the amount of silver used to reward horses in the Fushun Horse Market was more than 150 taels. In the eleventh year of Wanli, the amount of silver used in the autumn of Kaiyuan Horse Market reached 1,400 taels.
More than eighty-one taels.
There are also many differences in the items traded between the two cities: In the Fushun Horse Market, the goods sold are all goods produced by Jianzhou Jurchens, such as grain, linen, horses, ginseng, roe deer skins, and fungus, while the items purchased are pigs.
Cattle. The items traded in Kaiyuan Horse Market involve Jianzhou, Haixi, Savage Jurchen and Mongolian tribes, Jianzhou Jurchen ginseng and honey; Haixi Jurchen pine nuts, fungus, mushrooms, hazelnuts; Savage Jurchen mink skin,
Fox skin, roe deer skin and other furs; Mongolian horses, sheepskin, sheepskin jackets, felt, etc.
Therefore, if Nurhachi wants to get rid of the danger that killed him in the ginseng trade last time, one option he can consider now is to go north to Kaiyuan. This will expand his business scope so that he will not be limited to ginseng, a single commodity.
