Chapter 034 Envoy Gao Qin comes to Datong again (3 updates exceed 10,000)
Because Gao Gong was in charge of paying tribute and mutual trade, and strictly required fair trade, and at the same time taking into account the needs of ordinary Mongolian herdsmen, he allowed them to open "small markets". After this series of measures, the Mongolian people's perception of Gao Gong was really like
Look like a Bodhisattva.
According to Cao Gan, when the news of Gao Gong's death reached Tumut, many tribes in Tumut burst into tears. Countless herdsmen took the initiative to follow the custom of the Han people and put mourning on Gao Gong. He looked older than death.
Khan is still sad.
Gao Pangshi was shocked when he heard this. The Mongolians these days are inhumane when it comes to cruelty, but when it comes to being honest, they are as honest as a child.
It seems that my idea back then was right. Although there are murderous people in this world, it is impossible for an entire nation to be murderous. In many cases, murderousness is caused by profit-people are so poor that they have nothing to lose.
, if they don’t rob or kill, they will starve to death, so how can they not be bloodthirsty? Ants are greedy for life, let alone humans!
Newly born twin brothers will fight for milk! It can be seen that survival is the foundation of human nature.
However, this also seems to herald another thing: if Tumote really had a stable trade with the Ming Dynasty for decades and fought wars and so on, as in history, then I'm afraid it would be really bad.
You know, because of the relationship between Beijing and China, the trade between Ming Dynasty and Tumut should be larger than in history. In addition, Gao Pragmatic himself has been importing luxury goods to Tumut, which may accelerate this.
A kind of "corruption".
Of course, there is good news, that is, his plan to control Tumut should go more smoothly - this is really a double-edged sword, and Gao Pragmatic feels that he has to think carefully about how to strike a balance.
And another good news, even great news, is the issue of "becoming a Buddha".
Gao Gong is his third uncle, and he is the successor of Gao Gong's mantle known to the world. So Gao Gong's lofty reputation among the Tumote people, he is so pragmatic that he would not take advantage of it unless he is stupid.
Especially at this point in time, when a new Great Khan is about to appear in Tumut, Gao Pragmatism happens to be responsible for the canonization. This is not to make good use of Gao Gong's prestige. Gao Pragmatism is not Gao Pragmatism.
!
Leading one thousand Beijing cavalry and three thousand cavalrymen, Gao Pingshi and his party rushed to Datong in a mighty manner.
He found that the scenery along the way was very different from ten years ago.
Ten years ago, many places that had been battlefields became barren lands, but now they have been opened up into fertile fields again. It is spring now, and the fields are busy with spring plowing. It is a peaceful and happy scene. We have a high and pragmatic view.
Extremely gratified.
Especially when by the roadside, the villagers in Tianzhong knew that the visitor was Gao Longwen, the nephew of Mr. Gao Ge, the Sixth No. 1 Scholar of the Ming Dynasty, they all hurriedly bowed to him. Many of the more courageous villagers would even shout, "Thank you, grass man, Gao Ge."
"Thank you Gao Qingtian"...
Gao Pragmatic almost shed tears when he saw it.
I have traveled through time for more than ten years, and my busy days are finally not in vain!
Third Uncle, you have a spirit in heaven, but have you seen the respect and gratitude these ordinary people have for you?
Cao Gan was also full of sighs and said: "I think back then, the villain had no choice but to become a bandit. At that time, he didn't know that the court was not really full of treacherous people. There was still a Qingtian lord like Gao Wenzhenggong who was dedicated to the people..."
Gao Pragmatic couldn't say for sure whether he was dedicated to the "people", but Gao Gong did everything for the Ming Dynasty.
Looking back now, Sanbo's death was not so much caused by the emotional outburst of his old friend Zhang Juzheng's depression, but in fact it was more likely that he was overworked... He has always been a workaholic, and he is getting older.
Alas, as a nephew, I am also incompetent. I can't persuade him to stay by his side. How happy he would be if he could see this scene with his own eyes...
As I thought about it, my nose couldn't help but feel sour.
The whole journey was silent.
When he arrived in Datong, Gao pragmatic found that the three towns of Xuanda seemed to attach great importance to this mission. Although Xuanfu Governor Xiao Daheng and Shanxi Governor Xin Yingqian could not leave their posts without authorization, they sent their trusted masters to come. The masters all claimed that they were here to "wait for orders".
Zheng Luo, the governor of Xuanda, also came to Datong in person, and together with Datong governor Jia Yingyuan, Datong garrison eunuch Liu Ping, and Datong chief military officer Ma Jin, greeted the imperial envoy.
Zheng Luo was Gao Pragmatic's senior, and Gao Pragmatic naturally did not dare to neglect him. After going through the imperial envoy etiquette, he came forward with a smile to greet him. Zheng Luo had a good impression of Gao Dang, the future leader, and talked to him with a smile. Then he introduced the other three "Big Three of Datong".
Although Jia Yingyuan, the governor of Datong, was a member of the Jin Party, Gao Pragmatic was not very familiar with him. He only knew that he was named Renfu and that he was from Zunhua County, Zhili. It is said that he had been studious since he was a child and studied hard. Finally, in the 40s of Jiajing He won the Jinshi title in one year.
Of course, I have read his basic resume before I came here. He first served as the head of the Maintenance Department of the Ministry of Industry and was in charge of the Linqing Brick and Tile Factory (really called this...), and later worked in Jinan and Yangzhou. He was capable and decisive in his work, and he was devoted to the public affairs. None of his subordinates dared to pretend to be public servants for personal gain. He was later promoted to deputy envoy to Shanxi and was in charge of the army's logistics work. All the military salary revenue and expenditure, tax and tribute accounts he managed were carefully verified to be accurate, and Shanxi officials, big and small, Everyone respects him.
So he moved to Youqiandu as censor and governor of Datong. Last year, he also stated eight things: increasing the people's fort, adding piers and platforms, preparing equipment, solidifying the border city, establishing Zhangtun fields, and catching thieves (exempting fugitives from taxes). Select regular officers and return to the local soldiers.
Well...it's all right, but whether it's done well or not, it's hard to say.
Gao pragmatically met Jia Yingyuan as a junior, but Jia Yingyuan refused to accept it because he said something that even Gao pragmatically didn't know: he was Guo Pu's disciple - Guo Pu was one of the same examiners in that subject. , Jia Yingyuan was chosen by him.
Damn it...it's my classmate who has been causing trouble for a long time.
Since they were classmates, it was easy to talk. The two of them just made their relationship clear and didn't say a single word. The atmosphere actually became intimate.
This is the characteristic of the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty.
Liu Ping, the local eunuch who guards Datong, is an old acquaintance - his uncle is Huang Mengyu.
Eunuchs are eunuchs, and they are more shameless than civil servants, so when Liu Ping came up, he knelt down respectfully to Gao Pangshi, and said in a very affectionate manner: "My nephew Liu Ping, I have met Uncle Gao Shi."
Uh... I'm on good terms with your uncle, but when did I promise you to be my nephew?
Well, I couldn't say this directly, so Gao Pragmatic had no choice but to nod his head quietly in the surprised eyes of the other three people, and said with an air of dignity: "Get up, before I came, your uncle told me, let me
Let's see if you have done anything wrong here under his guise, if so...he asked me to whip you."
Liu Ping said hurriedly: "My nephew, how dare you? Datong is where my uncle made his fortune. My nephew is very honest and well-behaved in Datong. Zheng Zhijun, Jia Junmen and Ma Zongrong can all testify."
"That's good." Gao Pragmatic nodded and looked towards Ma Jin.
Although this was the first time we met, he was not considered an outsider - he was Ma Gui's biological eldest brother.
