Chapter 161: Nancha Turmoil (10)

Gao Shishi didn't want to say it directly, but it was not good not to say it at this moment, but he was actually too cautious. Cao Yan, as his subordinate general in Liaofu, was "fished out" from prison by his superiors, and now every time he writes a letter, he must be called "Entang".

For such a person, he naturally has a strong influence, not to mention that the emperor will not be surprised when he hears it, even if Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue hear it, there is no special reaction, everyone takes it for granted.

In the final analysis, Gao Pragmatic does not want to behave like a follower in a "society governed by man", but always requires his own thinking to work in accordance with the "rule of law society". And whether it is Zhu Yijun, Shen Shixing, or Wang Xijue, they are accustomed to all the rules of the society governed by man, so they think that this is normal.

As the saying goes, "the law is nothing more than human feelings", which means that the law generally does not go beyond the emotions of human society, that is, it is basically in line with the ethics and morals of society and people's feelings and thoughts. Therefore, all laws, whether strict or lenient, should be humane.

Of course, the "human feelings" here are not understood as the sophistication of human feelings that circulate in society, but refer to human emotions.

From this point of view, law is the bottom line of morality, and morality is originally biologicalized by human feelings, so the existence of law is to maintain the existence of human feelings. That being the case, it is obviously perfectly reasonable for a rescued person to be more willing to obey the rescuer's request.

Perhaps, only Gao Pragmatism will subconsciously downplay this human factor, trying to just "reason" in everything.

Sure enough, Zhu Yijun smiled and said naturally: "That's the best, I think you might as well be more detailed and let him know how to fight this battle." ”

Well, this is again a typical hyperpragmatic dependency. In Zhu Yijun's eyes, it seems that as long as he is pragmatic and strategic, Cao Yan can win this battle even if he is thousands of miles away.

What's even more weird is that it seems that not only Zhu Yijun thinks so, but Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue also have such worries.

So Shen Shixing had to stand up at this time and took the initiative to speak: "Your Majesty, although Cao Yan is the deputy chief soldier of Liaoyang, Liaofu is in Liaoyang, and it is not good to go over the ministers and be in charge of the ministers alone. The minister thought that Liao Fu should still be in charge of military affairs, and Cao Yan could only take care of the front-line operations. ”

This is the practice of the Ming Dynasty, although Zhu Yijun knew that Li Song and Gao Pragmatic were not all the way, but he couldn't refuse directly, he just groaned and glanced at Gao Pragmatic.

Gao Pragmatic originally lowered his head slightly, but after feeling the emperor's gaze towards him, he raised his head and said: "The minister thinks that what Yuan Fu said is extremely true, and it is only right that the military affairs of Liaodong are naturally led by the governor. ”

Zhu Yijun quietly breathed a sigh of relief, if Gao Shishi had refused just now and insisted on letting Cao Yan command this operation alone, then he would have been more embarrassed. Fortunately, high pragmatism is always high pragmatism, and he never embarrasses the emperor, which avoids the embarrassment of the emperor.

But Zhu Yijun didn't notice that Gao pragmatic played a small trick here: Shen Shixing originally only mentioned that the battle should be in charge of Li Song, the governor of Liaodong, but did not mention Zhou Yong, the governor of Jiliao, but Gao pragmatic's answer was "led by the governor".

Even though both are theoretically central commissioners, they are mission officers and there is no difference in rank, but customarily speaking, the governor is still in front and the governor in the back, and the governor's own position in the center is usually a little higher than that of the governor. For example, when the governor is the title of the imperial historian of the capital, the governor is basically the rank of squire of the military department; If the governor holds the rank of squire of the military department, the governor is likely to hold the title of secretary of the military department.

And now, because Li Song is the first governor, his own rank is not high, but he is the right of the Imperial Palace, and Zhou Yong, the governor of Jiliao at this time, is the rank of squire of the military department.

The right is the fourth product of the imperial history, and the third product of the military department, so once according to the pragmatic statement, the battle is "led by the governor", of course, it is still dominated by Zhou Yong, the governor of Jiliao.

What's more, this is a war, and unless the governor does not care or lacks skills, the "priority" of management is higher than that of the governor, so this time is different from when Gao was pragmatic and served as Liaofu.

When Gao Pragmatic was appointed as Liaofu, Zhou Yong, as a pragmatic official from the Henan Township Party of Gao Pragmatic, would definitely not disagree with Gao Pragmatic, so Zhou Zhitai did not interfere with Gao Pragmatic in any arrangements for Liaodong at all, and Gao Pragmatic had the final say.

Although at this time, Gao Shixing did not know whether Shen Shixing's sudden proposal of such a sentence was just to maintain the tradition of Wenchen suppressing Wuchen, or whether he wanted to find a way to control the battle in order to share the merits in the future, or simply planned to let Li Song drag Cao Yan's hind legs.

But in any case, it is impossible for Gao Pragmatic to be indifferent, and he must prepare countermeasures to avoid falling into passivity in the future, and Zhou Yong, the governor of Jiliao, who can meet this demand at this time, is obviously the best candidate.

Zhu Yijun didn't notice it, Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue obviously noticed, but Gao Shixing's words were the same as Shen Shixing's proposition, which was also traditional, and although Shen Shixing felt that it was inappropriate, he couldn't find a suitable reason to oppose it.

However, Shen Shixing secretly pondered it and felt that the problem was not too serious, because even if Zhou Yong wanted to intervene, it would not be so easy.

It's not that it's not easy to meddle in terms of power, but it's determined by geographical location: the location of the governor of Jiliao is in Miyun, which can be said to be on the edge of the Jingshi, and it is a thousand miles away from the starting point of this battle. The governor of Liaodong was stationed in Liaoyang, only 300 miles away from Kaiyuan, and it only took less than two days to pass on the news.

This matter is negotiated, and the summoning is basically completed, but since everyone is here today, Zhu Yijun will also fulfill the promise he made to Shen Shixing in the previous slander case.

At that time, he replied that he would find Gao Pragmatic to understand the situation in person about the so-called slander of the monarch, and now he asks in front of all the cabinet elders, of course, it is more convenient and fair.

However, there is actually nothing worth mentioning about this matter, "slandering the monarch" is originally framed, and Shen Shixing's vote is only to protect those officials who speak excessively, and at this time, the slander case has been decided, and it is impossible to talk about it again.

Therefore, Gao Shixing casually explained a few words, and Shen Shixing expressed his understanding of his defense on behalf of the cabinet, and the matter was revealed.

Gao Pragmatic once hoped that the situation of Wang Xijue jumping into the pit did not appear, and Wang Xijue did not jump into the pit at all, but other goals were basically achieved; Shen Shixing's plan to protect the officials of his faction was also not successful, but fortunately, he protected the vast majority, and only a few typical examples were arrested.

On the whole, both sides are not very happy this time, but they are still within their respective acceptable ranges. Now the emperor chooses such a time to bring up the matter, which probably also means to persuade peace. In that case, let's do it for now.

On the way back, because the palace could only walk anyway, Zhang Xueyan and Wu Dui simply found Gao Pragmatic to "chat a few words". Because Zhang Xueyan is a person who has been a secretary of the household department, he is in charge of the household department in the cabinet, and Wu Dui is in charge of the military department, which is also related to this battle, and it seems normal for them to look for high pragmatism.

Zhang Xueyan was mainly worried about the situation of the household department, the military reserve work in Liaodong had been carried out soon, and at present, the imperial court was seriously short of money, and it was difficult to say whether the reserve could be carried out according to the plan in the next three years. Now that such a thing has happened, the pressure on the household department is obviously heavier, and Zhang Xueyan is worried about whether Gao Pragmatic can cope with it.

As for Wu Dui, he quite believes in Gao Pragmatic's financial management ability, and he is looking for Gao Pragmatic mainly to get a relatively accurate "available quota" - after all, it can't let Liaodong open up.

In fact, this is all a trivial matter, and Gao Pragmatic gave Zhang Xueyan a positive answer, saying that as long as the Jiangnan commercial tax matter can be taken down, these expenses are not a problem.

Zhang Xueyan was a little worried, and asked what if he couldn't take it down? Gao pragmatic said that even if there was an accident, he really couldn't take it down, and he also had emergency measures there, so that Zhang Ge didn't have to worry.

Although Gao Pragmatic didn't say what this emergency means was, judging from past experience, Gao Pragmatic was still more reputable to speak, so Zhang Xueyan didn't ask more.

Wu Dui's question was easy to answer, and Gao Pragmatic told him that the current reserves in Liaodong, except for armor and cold weapons, which need to be asked about the Wang family's arsenal, can be fully supplied. Not only firearms can be used in the open, but even winter clothing and food can be replenished according to the full satisfaction of the operation.

Wu Dui was a little surprised, even if it was firearms, after all, Jinghua's Kaiping Industrial Zone was not far from Liaodong, and it could also be transported by sea to inland waterways. But winter clothing and food could be supplied openly, and he was a little surprised.

In this regard, Gao pragmatically explained that this year's corn output is said to be gratifying, and the planting area will definitely continue to expand next year and even in the future, and the output will climb strongly, and the problem of eating for the Liaodong Army will definitely be solved at that time. Even not only the problem of eating, but also the feeding of war horses will be guaranteed - more than half of corn was used as a feed raw material in China in later generations, and it is quite an excellent feed raw material.

Of course, in fact, the corn planted by Gao Shishi in Liaodong is not completely smooth, especially the breeding problem. This thing originated in the Americas, and it must have been a little unsuitable for transplanting it to China, and the climate and environment of Liaodong were not good enough for the corn seeds he "introduced" by stealing, so most of the land was wasted.

However, the rest of it can be regarded as a locally bred breed, and although it is still far from the level of later generations in terms of yield and taste, if you don't think too much about the taste and only solve the problem of the stomach, even the current corn is quite good.

As for the output, although the unit output is only about half of that of later generations, that is not a problem, and what is the population of Liaodong today? As long as the planting area is expanded, none of this is a problem. And the planting area ...... It's a shame to say that there is really a lot of wasteland in Liaodong now, and you can expand it if you want to, as long as the labor force is in place, there is no land at all for the time being.

Even if it is those weak alkaline lands in southern Liaoning that are not suitable for growing grain, all kinds of corn that do not need fine care are not a matter at all - it is great that the unit yield is a little lower, it doesn't matter, my eastern Liaodong is vast and sparsely populated, and it is not Jiangnan!

As for winter clothes, this is also a credit to Gao Pragmatic. Although Tussah silk is also silk, its price is not as unattainable as silk, and Liaodong is also particularly suitable for the Tussah silk industry, which has developed rapidly under the push of high pragmatism.

Of course, winter clothes must not only wear a few layers of silk, but more importantly, cotton. The sunshine situation in eastern Liaoning is actually not bad, especially in southern Liaoning, and the development of the cotton industry is also gratifying - this "gratifying person" is also according to the population of Liaodong. At least three years later, cotton production in Liaodong will definitely be able to supply the winter clothing needs of the Liaodong Army.

In terms of weaving technology, there is a copycat enhanced version of Jenny spinning machine produced by Jinghua, and the production capacity is naturally greatly improved. As for how to adapt to cotton textiles, Gao Pragmatic has not taken care of the whole process - Jinghua has raised various masters for many years, and there must be some gains.

On the way back, Gao pragmatic thought carefully about Nurhachi's intention to go north this time. He found that Nurhachi's move this time may not only be as simple as dividing the north and south passes equally with Tumen, but it is likely that the development of Fushun Pass has reached its limit, so he needs to expand now.

At present, there are three horse markets in Kaiyuan: Xin'an Pass, Guangshun Pass and Zhenbei Pass, while Fushun has only one.

In terms of the frequency of mutual markets, in the early years of Wanli, Fushun had a city every three days, and the principle of opening was a market every day.

The number of people in the mutual market, the number of people in the Fushun mutual market is more than 100 in each batch, while the number of people in the Kaiyuan mutual market is often hundreds, or even more than 1,000 people. In the single tax draw of the horse market, the tax of each batch of Yiren in Kaiyuan is more than 40 taels, and the tax can reach 100 taels, while the tax of each batch of Yiren in Fushun is about 10 taels.

The overall tax collection of the horse market, Gao pragmatic remembers some. In the three months from April to July of the sixth year of Wanli: Fushun Ma City collected a total of 268 taels of tax silver; From the autumn of the 11th year of Wanli to the end of September, the silver of the old pipe of the Kaiyuan horse market was as high as 2,762 taels.

In the summer of the sixth year of Wanli, more than 150 taels of silver were used for the reward of the horse market, and about 11 years of Wanli, the silver used for the autumn reward of the horse market reached more than 1,481 taels.

There are also many differences between the goods traded in the two cities: in the Fushun Horse Market, all the goods sold by the Jianzhou Jurchens, such as grain, linen, horses, ginseng, roe deer skins, and fungus, and the items bought are pigs and cattle. The items traded in the Kaiyuan horse market involve Jianzhou, Haixi, savage Jurchen and Mongolian tribes, Jianzhou Jurchen ginseng and honey; pine nuts, fungus, mushrooms, hazelnuts of the Hercynian Jurchens; savage Jurchen mink, fox skin, roe deer skin and other furs; Mongolian horses, sheepskins, sheepskin jackets, felts, etc.

Therefore, if Nurhachi wants to get rid of the danger of strangling him with ginseng trade last time, one of the things that can be considered at present is to go north to open the plains. In this way, the scope of business has been expanded, so that it will not be limited to a single product of ginseng.

"Hmph, it's quite idealistic." Gao Pragmatic snorted lightly.
