Make sugar, buy wood, and draw cinnamon in Lianzhou.
For these three major events, Gao Pragmatic has considered them before and after, and the planning is basically completed. Of course, this is just a general strategy, and the specific details must be carefully planned.
At least, it must be clearly defined where the sugar refineries related to the sugar industry should be located, when and where personnel will be trained, where they will be deployed and recruited, how much investment will be made, etc., right?
At least, after buying the wood, you can't just keep it for good looks. Even if the wood needs to be dried before it can be used, the construction of the corresponding Southern Branch of Jinghua Shipyard or a separate new corresponding shipyard should also be considered, right?
So, where is this shipyard located? Guangzhou has the advantages of Guangzhou, and Qinzhou has the advantages of Qinzhou. Do we need to weigh it? As for the personnel issues, investment issues, etc. like the sugar refinery, we also need to plan and calculate.
?
Although after ten years of entrepreneurship, it is no longer necessary for Gao Pragmatic to build these two new factories from scratch as it was ten years ago. Some management talents can be deployed from within Jinghua, but the specific deployment must also be internally selected or recommended, right?
Besides, it is impossible to deploy them all from within Jinghua. The place where the factory is built must recruit manpower. For example, the Guangzhou Port has been recruiting talents for manufacturing sea-going ships since it was first taken over by Gao Pragmatic. This group of people can be considered now.
Got on duty.
However, the sugar refinery is a bit troublesome. This is not a project that Gao Jingshi had planned ten years ago, but a temporary project, because Gao Jingshi did not originally expect to work in Guangxi, let alone that there are people in Guangxi.
Such an opportunity.
Controlling chieftains is not entirely about helping the court reduce the threat of chieftains. Although that is the main reason, the secondary reasons are not really secondary to Gao Pragmatic.
Gao Pragmatic had coveted Nanyang ten years ago! Otherwise, why would he have recruited talents to build ocean-going ships so early? Otherwise, what would he have done with so many servants as guards, mine protection teams, and factory protection teams?
Just kidding, with his high-level connections now, does his factory, mine, etc. near Gyeonggi Province need to worry about being robbed? Even if it is a transport team, those bandits and thieves may not dare to touch it!
Since the success of the tribute, Xuanda and Shuntian have long been quiet. With Qi Jiguang in Jizhen and the sharp-edged Li Chengliang in Guangning (the general officer of Liaodong is stationed in Guangning), there is no threat from foreign enemies from the North.
When we arrived at the three major factories in Kaiping, it stands to reason that Gao Wuzhi had already withdrawn all the factory and mine protection teams near Gyeonggi and it would be fine. At most, there would be only a few cavalry guards from Jinghua Trading Company left.
Is he keeping these paramilitary organizations just because he has too much money to support himself? They are all preparing for the future!
Gao Pragmatic never had much confidence in his own military training, so he handed over the infantry and cavalry to Qi Jiguang and Ma Fang, two famous future figures he felt were the most reliable, to help train him in advance, and he maintained it all the time, in order to one day
Whenever there is a need, they can be called upon and they can fight when they come!
Where to fight? It can’t be a rebellion, it must be fighting outside!
His original plan was to wait until his business in the southern part of the Ming Dynasty was gradually established, and then quietly send troops to occupy Taiwan. He would first occupy a stronghold in Kaohsiung and build it, and then use it as a base to conquer the Philippines from the Spanish.
However, the plan could not keep up with the changes. After he was sent to Guangxi, he suddenly discovered that Taiwan was not in a hurry, and the Philippines was not in a hurry. He might as well practice with Annan first.
Because taking Annan can kill multiple birds with one stone!
First of all, Ming Dynasty has always been dissatisfied with Annan. However, in view of the old affairs of Yongle and Xuande dynasties, it felt that attacking Annan would not be good, so it pinched its nose and accepted the current situation. But if Annan can be solved, the imperial court will definitely
Welcome. And the imperial court should also be interested in the plan that Gao Pragmatic plans to give to the court at that time...
Use the chieftains as the main force to attack Annan. After conquering the chieftains, move the chieftains out of the country, and move the Han people to the interior of Guangxi to supplement them. At the same time, they will return the native land to the locals. If this can be achieved, the court will not only gain half of Guangxi's official territory in vain, but also Annan.
It has become the territory of the Ming Dynasty - a chieftain is still a chieftain, he still bears the court's tribute and recruitment! Doesn't this make a lot of money without spending a penny?
The chieftain is not at a loss either. He used to live in the ravines in the west and south of Guangxi. After going south to Annan, even if he only gets the Northern Dynasty and Mo Dynasty in Annan, there is also a world-class barn in the Red River Plain. This business is guaranteed to make a profit.
ah!
As for Gao Pragmatic, he doesn't have to worry. He can't dig out the 200 billion tons of coal mines in the Red River Plain area alone in 500 years. If things go more smoothly, he can directly settle the Houli Dynasty in the south.
Then there is the Ha Tinh Iron Mine! Your Cen Hwang family occupies the land, and I, Mr. Gao, only need two mines plus commercial interests. Isn’t this treating you unfairly?
Oh, you may have to occupy one or two ports or something, I think you won't mind.
If we were to say where the trouble lies in this matter, it may mainly lie in whether the Cen and Huang families can join forces, and whether the two families have sufficient military strength.
Although the two of them can put together 100,000 wolf soldiers, it is a desperate attack, which is generally not advisable. It is better to have less, and 50,000 wolf soldiers will be enough.
However, Annan has a lot of soldiers and horses. It is doubtful whether fifty thousand wolf soldiers are enough to defeat Annan, especially since the Cen and Huang families are poor chieftains. The wolf soldiers under their command are very ruthless, and the equipment is really hard to get.
It cannot satisfy what the general of the Red Dynasty said: "With both beautiful weapons and equipment and a Guangxi accent, he must be the best among the best."
I already have the Guangxi accent, but I just need the fine art equipment.
Well, Gao Press plans to spend his own money to replace it with "high-tech equipment", but it is absolutely impossible to give it away for free. It must be agreed in advance about the mining areas that Gao Press is interested in after taking Annan.
The port must be sold to him in advance.
By the way, Gao Andai is not completely useless. When the time comes, it is completely conceivable to mobilize thousands of servants to come over for training. Although Mr. Gao has no experience in fighting, his subordinates have also been trained by Qi Jiguang.
Yes, there are also Cen and Huang's wolf soldiers pressing the battle, so it shouldn't be a big problem no matter how you look at it.
After all, the leader of the Mo Dynasty, King Qian Mo Jingdian, died of illness. If this is not enough to bully him, it would be a bit unjustifiable.
Before coming to Guangxi, I didn't know there would be such a big change. However, the censor's term of office is only one year. Now we really don't have time to wait!
All work must be started quickly and cannot be stopped for a moment, but... there is a problem.
Gao pragmatic frowned. He had not yet revealed his identity in front of Huang Zhiting. He had no one at hand. He could not even send someone to contact the Guangzhou Port and ask them to convey his order to the capital.
No, I can't afford to waste this time. I have to confess to Huang Zhiting immediately, oh no, I need to explain it clearly to her.
