What can happen in Kaiping? Gao Pragmatic is a little surprised.
After asking, he realized that something was really wrong in Kaiping. Gao Guoyan told him that their people had discovered traces of Jin Yiwei in Kaiping.
It is normal for Jinyiwei to be found near the capital and Jiubian, because Jinyiwei is not only responsible for monitoring officials, but also for external intelligence investigations. They have their own secret stakes in Mongolia's left and right wings, the Jurchen tribes and even North Korea.
Kaiping is the only place to go to Shanhaiguan, so it is completely reasonable for Jin Yiwei to appear there.
However, the situation reported by Gao Guoyan was different from others: first, the Jinyiwei discovered by the Gao family servants were not wearing the iconic Feiyu suit, but were dressed in plain clothes; secondly, they did not pass through Kaiping, but stayed in Kaiping to conduct secret investigations.
Visit; in the end, the Gao family's servants also discovered that these people who were suspected of being spies from Jinyiwei were quietly wandering around several mining areas that Gao Jingshi had already developed on a small scale.
Therefore, Gao Guoyan believed that Jinyiwei might be eyeing Gao Pragmatic's mining plan.
Gao pragmatic listened but was a little confused. He frowned and said to Gao Guoyan: "Jinyiwei is investigating my mining? It doesn't make sense. Three months ago, Qi Nantang's memorial was approved by the court, and Kaiping Zhongtunwei was ordered to go there as a whole.
The migration to the northeast is more than 80 miles and is planned to be completed in three years. During these three years, I will provide them with migration expenses of nearly 100,000 taels of silver each year. This is also a very cost-effective deal for the court... After all
There aren’t many good fields here in Kaiping. Apart from me, who else is interested in this kind of bad land? Check me out? What can I check?”
"Well..." Gao Guoyan coughed dryly and said, "I wonder if you have received any news about something."
"What's the matter?" Gao Pragmatic frowned, his heart skipping a beat.
"Although the vast majority of Kaiping residents are military households, it doesn't mean that there are no ordinary civilian households at all." Gao Guoyan hesitated a little, rubbed his nose and explained: "Some time ago, Deputy Ambassador Wu on your right
He was moved to the Xuan Prefecture as governor, and Yongping Bingbei Road was changed."
"So?" Gao Pragmatic looked a little unhappy: "Although my affairs were decided upon Wu Dui's appointment, it is finalized. This is the decision of the imperial court. Even if the deputy envoy of Yongping Military Preparation is changed,
Man, does he still want to overturn the decision?"
"It can't be said that the court's decision was overturned. The main reason is that... with Deputy Envoy Wu here before, the relocation of those households was easier to handle. We don't have to step forward ourselves at all. The Bingbei Yamen will naturally send people to notify and arrange for their relocation."
When Gao Guoyan said this, he sighed and said: "But after Deputy Wu left, the new Deputy Chen was not very willing to take care of us. Not only did he not take care of us, but he also procrastinated in doing things and pushed back and blocked us.
There is a plan over there, and delaying time is a waste of money! We have no choice but to send people to negotiate with those households."
An ominous premonition arose in Gao Pangshi's heart, and he opened his eyes wide and said: "Then what? Are you going to carry out forced demolitions?"
"Forced demolition? What do you mean?" Gao Guoyan had obviously never heard of this new term.
"They just refused to move, so you forcibly demolished their houses."
"No, no!" Gao Guoyan waved his hands quickly: "How could I do this? I just sent people to tell them that after the overall relocation of Kaipingwei, land was allocated for these households at the new site, and we will unify their new houses.
Arrange new buildings for them and let them clean up what they need to clean up quickly. If they arrive late, those good houses near mountains and rivers will be snatched up by others."
Gao Pingshi didn't believe it. He looked at Gao Guoyan carefully and asked, "That's it?"
"Uh... our people are like this." Gao Guoyan coughed and added: "But the people in Kaipingwei are not as easy to talk to as us, especially Commander Xue of Xuecheng, who personally took people there...
Go ask those households who are lingering to leave quickly."
Gao Pangshi's expression changed and he asked: "What did Xuecheng do? Don't tell me anything about urging households to relocate - did he cause trouble?"
Gao Guoyan sighed and said with a wry smile: "Why are you always so smart?"
Gao Pragmatic's face suddenly turned ugly, and he asked in a deep voice: "What happened to him? Did anyone get killed?"
"No one was killed, but...a few were injured." Gao Guoyan looked helpless and spread his hands: "This guy burned down a small settlement that was the least cooperative. Four of them were burned and disabled.
Got one.”
"Trash!" Gao Pragmatic said angrily: "If you don't succeed enough, you will fail more than you can!"
Gao Guoyan was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said: "Things have gone too far, but he did this so as not to delay the progress..."
"Then you can't do that!" Gao Pragmatic emphasized: "This is arson!"
Gao Guoyan was still confused: "What happened to arson?"
"The crime of arson will increase in ten years... eh?" Gao Pingshi said, and he was stunned for a moment, thinking: Damn it, this is the Ming Dynasty, and there is no such thing as endangering public safety.
From the perspective of the Ming Dynasty Law, Xuecheng was originally executing the court's decision at that time. Even if the methods were harsher, he would only be punished for one year at most. Not to mention that no one died, even if he accidentally burned one or two to death, he Xue Cheng
The commander-in-chief was given the punishment of "Xue Cheng Guan and live in leisure", and then suspended for three to five months for self-reflection, but he did not return to his post.
But this method is more than just "a little more intense"?
Gao Pragmatic's legal thinking from his previous life emerged, and the more he thought about it, the more unhappy he became. He couldn't help but say, "Why do you have to use such methods? Can't you reason with them? If it doesn't work, you can always add more money, right?"
"It's definitely not possible to add more money!" Gao Guoyan opened his eyes wide: "It doesn't matter if you add some money to them, but if you can add more money to them, what if other people also need to add more money? Do you want to add more money to them all? The money-spreading boy also
That’s not what it is! Besides, the relocation is a decision of the imperial court, and the specific relocation compensation was calculated by the Bingbei Yamen and set by Deputy Ambassador Wu at the time. If you add money to these people now, it is equivalent to
You said there was something wrong with the relocation fee that Deputy Ambassador Wu set at the beginning. If Deputy Ambassador Wu finds out about it in the future, how will you explain it to him?"
"It's easier to explain to one person than to so many people. What's more, Wu Junze is my senior brother. How much trouble will it cause if I explain to him?" Gao Pragmatic looked distressed, let out a sigh of relief, waved his hand, and said first
Putting the question aside, he asked: "Why did Jin Yiwei's people come here to investigate? Even if Xuecheng burned down other people's houses and burned people, he was the one who did it after all. Why did Jin Yiwei come to investigate my property?"
"
What Gao Pragmatic couldn't understand was this: if the commander of the guard station acted improperly, the local military preparations would naturally take care of it. If the military preparations were ignored, there would also be patrol censors to take care of it. This is the right thing - no matter who
Go ahead and take care of it. You have nothing to do with Jin Yiwei. Why is Jin Yiwei just here to join in the fun?
