Before Gao Pangshi officially "went to work", he did go to Ji Town, but he did not go directly to Ji Town, but went further, directly to Yongping Mansion.
In later generations, Yongping Prefecture included most of Tangshan and Qinhuangdao, and was governed in Lulong County. However, the real number one official in Yongping Prefecture was neither the Yongping Prefect nor the Lulong County Magistrate, but the Yongping Road Coast Guard and Marine Defense Force.
Deputy envoy of military preparation, referred to as deputy envoy of military preparation in Yongping, also known as deputy envoy of military preparation in Jizhou.
The current Deputy Military Envoy of Yongping is Wu Dui - the only disciple of the Gao family who dared to take the risk of sending Gao Gong off when he was forced to retire last time.
Of course Gao Pragmatic will go to Yongping to see him, so there is no need to say more.
Wu Dui is forty-six years old this year, which is nearly forty years older than Gao Pragmatic. However, he has recently heard the news that Enxiang's nephew is another prodigy of the Ming Dynasty. As for Gao Pragmatic's special purpose,
Jian Ba also knew very well about the fact that he was studying with the prince, so he did not dare to make excuses when they met. He followed the etiquette of meeting brothers and gave him enough face.
Gao pragmatically came to see him, and his main purpose was to buy land - not to buy fertile land, but to encircle a large area of wasteland, tidal flats and ownerless barren mountains that are useless now. This is easy to say, and it is not too big.
Especially the tidal flats. The imperial government had a policy many years ago. Coastal residents have moved inland several times, so the population is now very small.
It doesn't matter if it's barren mountains or wasteland. Jizhou is a famous military town. In order to avoid being beaten at every turn, households live in relatively concentrated areas. Most of the areas designated by Gao Pragmatic seem to fall into this category.
A land of shit. According to the habitual mentality of local officials in the Ming Dynasty who basically didn't care about land other than fertile farmland, Wu Dui patted his chest and assured that there would be no problem selling these waste lands to Gao Jingjing, and the price would be easy to negotiate.
The real trouble lies in the fact that Gao Pingshi has taken a fancy to Kaiping Town, the seat of Kaiping Zhongtunwei.
But when Wu Dui frowned and said that this place was a military garrison and there would be a lot of trouble in the procedures to buy it, the pragmatic and pragmatic junior brother Gao, who had always been very humble in front of him and was very easy to talk to,
Suddenly he became difficult to talk to. He insisted that he must buy this land, and for this reason he did not hesitate to propose that "I will build a new city for the Wei at my own expense".
Wu Dui was shocked when he heard this, and then urged Gao Qingshi not to do this... well, don't spend money randomly like this.
Kaiping Zhongtun Guard Office is also known as Kaiping Town, nicknamed Sanmenzhuang. It belonged to Youbeiping County in the Qin Dynasty, Shicheng County was established here in the Han Dynasty, and was later renamed Haiyang County. After the Jin Dynasty, it belonged to Liaoxi County. After the Five Dynasties, Emperor Shi Jingtang of the Jin Dynasty ceded the territory.
It was given to the Khitan (later Liao Kingdom) as Pingzhou, and "Luanzhou was settled with captured households".
It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with Yushan Mountain above and Yuhe River below. It successively governed Yifeng County, Macheng County and Shicheng County. In the first year of Long Live Tongtian (the first year Wu Zetian became emperor, 696), it was changed to Shicheng County. Yifeng County, "
Huangluocheng originally belonged to Liaoxi County in the Han Dynasty. It was abandoned for a long time. At the end of the Tang Dynasty after the Five Dynasties, it was transferred to Khitan. During the reign of Emperor Shizong of the Liao Dynasty, a county was established with 4,000 households."
In the first year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1403), Kaiping Zhongtunwei first moved from Daning Shaling to Zhending (now Zhengding, Hebei Province), and then moved north to Shicheng Waste County in the third year of Yongle. As a result, Shicheng County became
There were heavy troops stationed there and it became an important town. It was called Kaiping Town from then on and it has been 170 years now.
Kaiping was originally a low-rise small earthen city in the early days. In the second year of Chenghua, Li Gong, the censor of Youdu of the Ducha Yuan, reported to the emperor, Duan Ji, the general judge of Yongping Prefecture, and Chen Xu, deputy Qianhu of the Zhongyi Zhongwei, presided over the reconstruction.
It only took half a year to build a new city wall with a circumference of 4,639 feet and a height of two feet and three feet. The south gate was opened to improve the situation; the east and west gates were built to connect the two, and waterways were dredged and bridges built.
, excavation of the moat. The city wall has gate towers in the east, west and south. Only the north side is just a gate, so Kaiping is commonly known as "Sanmenzhuang". In addition, there is a suspension bridge outside the south gate, which was later changed to a stone bridge and was named "Puguang".
bridge".
It stands to reason that Kaiping Town is not that big, and the cost of building a city in the Ming Dynasty is quite low. Even if you build a new city according to its original size, it will cost no more than fifty thousand taels of silver. But the problem is that if you build a small city for others,
Not only building the city is enough, but you also have to build houses, relocate, etc. There are a lot of troubles and a lot of money to spend.
What's more, since Kaiping Town is a military town, although he, the Deputy Military Envoy, is in charge of both the military and civilians, it is impossible for him to decide the relocation of a town in Kaiping. This kind of thing must be done by Governor Ji Liao, Governor Shuntian and Ji Zhen.
The three generals agreed, and then went to the imperial court to apply for relocation. Only when the imperial court approved it would it count. What's more, the Kaiping Zhongtun Guard itself was affiliated to the Wandu Division in terms of organizational structure, which was related to the nobles of the capital, so they were involved in each other.
, it is a hundred times more difficult to accomplish this than to approve Gao Pragmatic’s purchase of more wasteland and mountains.
But Gao Jingshi still seemed unwilling to give up and insisted on going to Kaiping to check it out in person. Wu Dui was unwilling to care and was afraid that Gao Jingshi would cause trouble for his family, so he had no choice but to accompany him on the trip himself.
Gao Pangshi then conducted an on-the-spot investigation and found that Kaiping City, which was planned and built during the Chenghua period, had four streets intersecting in the shape of a cross. The intersection of the cross streets was the center of the city. It was also the highest point of the city, and it was where the locals
Commonly known as "Pavilion". The southeast, northwest and northwest of the pavilion are called East, West, South and North Streets respectively. There are nine villages, eighteen alleys, nine bridges and four gardens inside and outside the city.
The area is indeed small, and the value of those low-rise old mud houses is probably not very high. Even if it is true according to what Gao Pragmatic said, the relocation costs will all be paid for by himself, which can be done within one hundred thousand taels.
However, the troubles Wu Dui mentioned are indeed troubles. After all, relocating a guard station is already a national event. The trouble with Kaiping Zhongtun Guard lies in its organization and affiliation. In future generations, this situation will belong to multiple leaders.
——Every level above must agree before things can be done.
The current governor of Jiliao is Tan Lun, but he is about to be promoted to the capital. The next person to take over is the current governor of Yingtian, Liu Yingjie. He is the same year as Zhang Juzheng, but according to Gao's pragmatic view, he is a target that can be won over. Now "Gao Dang"
We are getting closer to him. The candidate to take over as governor of Shuntian is most likely Yang Zhao, and if nothing unexpected happens, Wu Dui will be promoted to governor of Xuanfu.
Gao pragmatic thought for a moment that Wu Dui would stay in Jiliao and serve as governor of Shuntian, but he couldn't do it after a second thought, because if he didn't go to Xuanfu, I wouldn't be able to get any credit for the subsequent tribute, so
Not only do you have to be the governor of Xuanfu, it is best to do it a few months earlier than in history.
Yang Zhao is the current rectification officer of Jizhou Xifeng West Road, also known as Miyun Political Officer. I don’t know this man very well. I only remember that he is from Shaanxi. He was a Jinshi in the 35th year of Jiajing. He is one subject earlier than Wu Dui, so he has seniority.
More importantly, this may be the reason why historically he took over as governor of Shuntian, while Wu Dui only became governor of Xuanfu.
However, he is neither Gao Dang nor Zhang Dang. Currently, he does not have a clear cabinet-level backer in the government. Generally speaking, it is not impossible to win over him. There is also a prerequisite here, that is, Zhang Juzheng is not the same year as Zhang Juzheng.
In addition to his disciples, he likes to hire people from the south. But Gao Gong is different. Although he takes more care of his students of the same year and disciples, he is not particularly particular about the distinction between north and south, even for fellow Henan fellows.
There was not much care, but a little care for the Shanxi people - this may be because the Jin Party is an ally.

Some readers suggested that the progress should be accelerated during childhood. I think it makes sense, so I will test the waters from this chapter and see how it goes.
