Things like patrolling, customs, and defense all follow procedures. With Wang Guoguang, the censor of Zuodu, taking care of things, naturally everything will be done as quickly as possible, let alone the Ministry of Personnel, so there is no need to mention it further.
But no matter how fast it is, this process will take at least three to five days. And after three to five days, it is estimated that Gao Pragmatic still won't be able to leave, because the big seal of the Guangxi patrolman has not returned yet - the former patrolman Hu You is a filial son, and he knows
After his mother's death, he left directly with his crown, and all the seals and other related items had to be quickly returned to the capital from Guangxi.
There are no trains or planes these days, so the time it takes to get from Guangxi to the capital varies according to the level of the stagecoach express. According to the estimates of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the big seal that symbolizes the high pragmatism of Guangxi's censor status
It is estimated that it will take ten days and a half to reach the capital. So Gao pragmatically plans to use this half month to arrange some things.
Jian Xinzhai must arrange it quickly. After Liu Wei left, Ma Fang and Liu Xian both retired to work and were hired by Gao Pragmatic as consultants. However, they were nominally consultants on firearms design needs, but in fact
He was mainly responsible for helping Gao pragmatically arrange the armed servants, so he did not live in Jianxinzhai near the capital, but went to Kaiping.
Originally, Liu Xian took Liu Xin away at first, but he happened to take her back to the capital in the past two days. Liu Xian told Gao Pingshi that because the drug store in Jinghua began to need a large amount of high-quality Panax notoginseng as the main ingredient of Baibao Xuanming Powder,
Only the Panax notoginseng in the southwest was the most effective, so he planned to ask Liu Xin to go to the southwest and contact his old department to see if he could find a stable supply.
Gao Pragmatic couldn't understand Liu Xian's thinking. Previously, it was okay for Liu Xin to follow Liu Wei back to Beijing. After all, with such a big brother here, safety would definitely be guaranteed. But now that all Liu Xian's people have gone to Yunnan, Liu Xin is now asked to
Xin, a big girl is traveling to the southwest... are you a bit too worried? This is your own daughter!
But Liu Xian was very relieved. He patted his chest and assured Gao pragmatically that Liu Xin was no match for her brother in terms of martial arts, but two or three military junior high schools and junior high schools would definitely not be able to defeat her. Moreover, she had been with him for a long time and was familiar with the military.
If we were to talk about command alone, I am afraid that Liu Wei would be even inferior to his sister.
Talking about command alone, that is to say, we should ignore Liu Xian's personal martial arts and the psychological advantages this martial arts brings to his subordinates. But even so, it can be seen that Liu Xian has confidence in his daughter. He is fighting
People who have been fighting for a lifetime should not be mistaken on this issue.
Although Gao Pragmatic thought this was a bit unbelievable at first, he then thought about it. Aren’t the anti-Japanese heroines Mrs. Wa and the loyal Marquis Qin Liangyu also female generals? It can be seen that the ability to lead troops mainly depends on the brain, and it does not have to be all
Like brothers Ma Fang and Liu Wei, who are fierce generals, they have to go up and kill the generals in person.
Moreover, Liu Xian also told Gao Pangshi that he would bring the two hundred servants around him to Liu Xin. After all, he now has the Gao family's guard servants around him, so there will be no safety problems.
What Liu Xian meant was that Liu Xin and Gao Xinshi could go on the road together, go to Yuezhou Prefecture or Changde Prefecture in Huguang, and then separate. Gao Xinshi would go south to Guangxi, and Liu Xinxi would enter Sichuan.
There is no problem with the route arrangement, but in Gao Pragmatic's impression, the best Panax notoginseng should come from Yunnan. Liu Xian asked Liu Xin to go to Sichuan, which seemed to be a coincidence.
He told Liu Xian about this, and Liu Xian said that he also knew that Yun Sanqi was the most effective medicine, but his old troops were mainly in Sichuan. Although Liu Wei had already gone to Yunnan, he had not seen anything like this not long after he took office.
The ability to get a lot of Sanqi.
Gao pragmatic thought for a while. Although Gao Dang had people in Yunnan, it didn't seem right to bother them about some medicinal materials, so he agreed with Liu Xian's reasons. The issue of Yun Sanqi will wait until Liu Wei takes a firm stand there.
It's not too late to say it again.
After negotiating this matter, Gao Pragmatic began to arrange industrial issues near the capital. However, he found that he did not need to arrange many things at the moment. The production of various factories and mines had already entered a regular state, and Ming Dynasty did not have any major problems at present.
Whether it is iron or coal, the demand is relatively stable and does not require much adjustment.
Things like Tianjin Port are similar. They all just follow the steps. At most, there are some minor repairs and expansions. Gao Mengnan and Shuai Jiamo can decide, and there is no need to trouble Gao Pragmatic, the hands-off shopkeeper.
Even the Jinghua Shipyard in Laizhou, Shandong Province has nothing to worry about now. They are still producing flat-bottomed sand barges. This is a ship type with a lot of production experience in Shandong, and there is no need to worry about anything. And what about sharp-bottomed sea-going ships?
All of them are still in the technical reserve stage, including suitable wood being stored (shipbuilding wood needs to be stored for several years before it can be used), so no big moves can be made.
Not to mention Jinghua Soap and the like, these are all old and pragmatic industries, how could he have to worry so much.
However, the Jinghua Musket Factory and the Jinghua Artillery Factory need to be explained a little bit - mainly to get Gao Jiongduo and Wu Dui in touch. Wu Dui is not only an important figure in the Gao Party and the Minister of the Ministry of War, but also an important figure in the next step of the Gao Party, the two arsenals.
The business will definitely need some help from him as a soldier, at least not to be tricked by others.
One thing worth mentioning in the private military industry is that in addition to the Jinghua Musket Factory and the Jinghua Artillery Factory, the Ming Dynasty now has another Wang weapons factory. The actual owner is Wang Qian, the son of Wang Chonggu. Wang Qian was a Jinshi in the fifth year of Wanli.
He is now the head of the Ministry of Industry, and his weapons factory is of course the same as Gao Pragmatic's, and is controlled by his son.
However, the source of iron for his family's arsenal comes from Gao Jingshi's three major factories in Kaiping, and it specializes in the manufacture of cold weapons and armor, so there is no direct business competition with Gao Jingshi at the moment.
I also heard that the Ma family in Shaanxi also wanted to get involved, but Ma Ziqiang had only died two years ago, so they haven't made a decision yet.
After such a calculation, although Gao Jingshi had many properties in the capital, most of them were already on the right track and hardly required his excessive interference. So Gao Jingshi felt relieved and began the final "walking from house to house" - in fact,
It is to visit the ministers of Gao Dang in Beijing, and by the way, we also invite the Jinshi who studied in the same field this year and successfully stayed in Beijing to gather together.
In addition, you also need to visit a group of his teachers - in fact, they were the officials who Zhu Yijun served as lecturers in the past ten years from the prince to the emperor. Although among these people, they studied the Party in practice, studied the Party in heart, and had no clear political orientation.
There are many people, but no matter what, etiquette must be in place. If you really don't have time to visit one by one, you will send someone to send a letter to express your apology.
The funniest thing is that Gao Pangshi actually "made" a sum of money before he left - almost all officials who had a relationship with him, whether they were teachers, colleagues, the same year, or even
Including Zhu Yingzhen and other business-connected nobles, they all sent him various amounts of Cheng Yi, ranging from ten taels to as much as a hundred taels.
In the end, Cao Ke calculated it for him and found that Cheng Yi had received more than 7,000 taels of silver in total, which really surprised Gao Pragmatic himself - I know so many people!
