At present, Gao Pragmatic's worries seem to be somewhat unnecessary, because after Cen Shaoxun made the idea of "hiding in name only," he moved to Fenzhou (which has nothing to do with Shanxi, but is a subordinate state of Sicheng Prefecture) in just one day.
In today's Xiajia Township, Lingyun County (located 20 miles southeast of Lingyun County), he lived in seclusion in a villa in Fenzhou. He set up a Diaoji by the Chengbi River here to relax and recuperate.
After Cen Shaoxun left, the Xu family naturally followed him. After Cen Ling said goodbye to his brother, he began to clean up the house.
Gao pragmatic did not care about his internal affairs. He continued to do the inspection work seriously as before in Siming Mansion, and changed several small cases to show that he was not here for fun and was involved in the Huangma Rebellion.
It has nothing to do with it.
As for whether the chieftains believed it or not, he believed it himself.
The civil strife in Sicheng Prefecture was very fierce that day, and the city was in a mess. However, the final count showed that the property losses among the people were relatively heavy, while the personal losses among the wolf soldiers were not large.
The total number of casualties among the chieftains from each family was more than 300. On Huangma's side, more than 200 and nearly 300 were killed in the battle. The rest were scattered everywhere. Cen Ling asked Gao pragmatically to temporarily hand over the chieftain's troops to his command. At the same time, he also
Mobilize troops from all over Sicheng Prefecture and use them together for encirclement, suppression and pursuit.
After Gao pragmatic thinking, he handed over the soldiers and horses of the four chieftains of the Cen clan, including Zhen'an and Tianzhou, to Cen Ling, granted him a one-month period, and asked him to be responsible for the rewards and pensions of these wolf soldiers during his command. Cen Ling
Ling also agreed.
And Gao Jingshi also had to raise money himself - in fact, it should be said that he allocated reward money, because he had to cash in the reward promised by Cao Ke. Except for the results of the battles of the Gao family's servants and the results of Cen Ling's subordinates, the other chieftain wolves were not required to pay for the time being.
The soldiers had more than two hundred heads, all of which required money in exchange for merit.
In addition, Gao Pragmatic didn't like letting people work for nothing, and with a wave of his hand, all wolf soldiers who had participated in the battle and did not violate military discipline would be rewarded with one tael of silver.
This news was announced in public. As soon as it was announced, it won Gao Jingshi a huge reputation. No matter which wolf soldier he was, whenever he mentioned Gao Jianshi, he would raise his thumbs and praise him: "Gao Jiantai is a brave and kind man. Help him fight the war."
What a pleasure!”
As for the chieftains, Gao was equally unambiguous. He promised each of them a set of Yu porcelain (Jun porcelain), tea sets, cups, or vases, depending on how much effort (troops) they contributed.
This reward is not light. After all, "gold is valuable, but gold is priceless." Few of these chieftains who have manpower but no financial resources can afford to buy Jun porcelain. Now, they can actually exchange it for a small favor by sending troops to help.
They were so excited about a set of heirlooms that they couldn't sleep. If the Jun porcelain promised to them by Gao Xun had not been shipped from the place of origin, they would have gone back and stored it away after receiving the reward overnight.
Gao Pragmatic was also very satisfied. He had just failed to meet the expectations of his cheap mother, so he invested money in restoring the North Porcelain industry. Unexpectedly, Junci's name was so resounding that even the toasts in this mountain village knew it.
That thing is amazing. When I heard that I was going to reward Jun porcelain, everyone's eyes turned green, like a pack of hungry wolves. They were afraid that Gao Pragmatic wouldn't keep his words and would hang out in front of him all day long.
Gao Pragmatic thought of something. Logically speaking, Guangxi seemed to have produced porcelain clay in later generations. Why is there no porcelain-making industry worth mentioning now? Should I ask my mother if I can support a group of talents who know how to make porcelain?
Come to Guangxi to set up a porcelain factory? There is no need to bake Jun porcelain here - in fact, it seems that there is something wrong with Jun porcelain if you leave the place of origin. It may be that some trace elements in the raw materials are different.
But it should still be feasible to bake some low- and medium-grade porcelain in Guangxi. After the Qinzhou Port is built, Guangxi's porcelain can also be exported to earn foreign exchange. Anyway, those Westerners are not very knowledgeable, so selling mid-grade porcelain to them is a good idea.
It's also quite expensive.
Gao's pragmatic thoughts began to turn back to getting rid of poverty and becoming rich. After staying in Sicheng Prefecture for the same ten days, he distributed the reward and made an agreement with the chieftains to go to Nanning to receive the reward and hold a meeting in a month, and then left.
Return home.
Oh, it doesn’t count as going back home. He didn’t go back to Guilin, but went east along the Youjiang River and returned to Nanning Prefecture.
He wants to hold a conference in Nanning to discuss the "Guangxi Development".
The news that the imperial court approved the transfer of Lianzhou Prefecture (including Qinzhou) to Guangxi has come. Now Guangdong and Guangxi provinces are in the process of handover. In fact, most people in Guangdong have no feelings about Lianzhou being transferred to Guangxi.
Some relevant officials were not happy about this. When they approved Liu Yao's teaching, Shangshu objected to it. Shen Shixing and Shen Ge gave him a few vague words, but Guo Pu directly refuted it, and the emperor did not discuss it further.
Guo Pu has made up his mind to retire next year, so his attitude this year has become more tough than before. Shen Shixing understands this in his heart, and naturally does not want to confront Guo Yuanfu. He might as well wait until he becomes the second assistant next year to discuss anything.
Lianzhou actually had three ports in later generations: Beihai Port, Qinzhou Port and Fangcheng Port.
In later generations, all three ports were very good, but at this time, the most convenient one was definitely Qinzhou. Because Qinzhou was connected to a river and was a river mouth port, transportation was more convenient than the other two places.
There were railways and highways in later generations, but there were none these days. Where is the convenience of walking on mountain roads and waterways? Didn’t you see that after Gao Pragmatic came to the south, he took boats instead of riding horses in places with waterways? For thousands of years, China has
It's a ship from the north to the south, which is certainly not unreasonable.
After arriving at the Nanning Procuratorate, good news began to arrive one after another. The "vanguard troops" of various industries he planned to build in Guangxi were now arriving one after another.
The fastest one to arrive was the servant escort group led by Gao Jue. Gao Jue felt that since he was preparing to fight in an unfamiliar place like Guangxi, it was essential to familiarize himself with the environment and climate in advance. Therefore, he would rather wait for the equipment than wait for the equipment.
, first bring the team to Guangxi to adapt.
However, they are still in Qinzhou and have not gone all the way to Nanning - Gao Jue thinks it is best to be fully armed when going to Nanning, otherwise a group of people will run over empty-handed, but don't get robbed on the road, which would be too ugly.
.
Although Gao Pragmatic believes that the four thousand servants are unlikely to be robbed even if they are empty-handed, there is no problem in letting them adapt to the climate in Qinzhou first. It is easier to adapt to the climate on the seaside than in the mountainous areas - at least there will be no miasma on the seaside.
stuff.
In addition, Guangzhou Port also began to deliver supplies to Gao Pragmatic under the command of Gao Mengnan. The first batch of 80,000 shi of grain has arrived at Qinzhou Port (now it is just a small port with limited docking capacity), but the new
The established inland water transport fleet did not have time to transport them all, but only transported about 30,000 shi to Nanning, and the rest had to be transported slowly.
This batch of inland river fleet is said to be "newly built", but in fact it is better to say that it is temporarily hired. Although Jinghua's brand was displayed first, there is no one from Jinghua in the fleet, and the ships are all their own.
Jinghua's own inland river shipping team in Guangdong and Guangxi is still a paper plan. Until the shipyard is opened, there is no way to expand on its own. As for buying ships... First, ships are usually reserved, and finished products must be purchased temporarily.
Secondly, in order to develop the Guangxi timber market, the shipyard under high pragmatic planning was very large, but considering that there were many novices among them, he thought it would be a good idea to let them build some inland waterway ships to practice their skills first.
ideas.
In addition, some strategic reserve materials have now arrived at Qinzhou Port, but they also face the same trouble as food, that is, Qinzhou Port is still too small and needs to be expanded, otherwise there will be no place to store it.
