Before Gao Pragmatic officially "went to work", he really went to Jizhen, but not directly to Jizhen, but ran a little farther, directly to Yongping Mansion.

In later generations, Yongping Prefecture included most of Tangshan and Qinhuangdao, and was governed in Lulong County. However, the real number one official of Yongping Mansion is neither the Yongping Prefect, nor the Lulong County Commander, but the deputy envoy of the coastal defense and water conservancy garrison of Yongping Dao, referred to as the deputy envoy of Yongping military garrison, also known as the deputy envoy of Jizhou military garrison.

The current deputy envoy of Yongping's military garrison is Wu Dui, the only protégé of the Gao clan who dared to take the risk when Gao Gong was forced to send him last time.

Gao pragmatic to Yongping, of course, wanted to see him, so there was no need to say more.

Wu Dui is forty years old this year, and the age difference between Gao Pragmatic is close to forty years old, but he has also heard the news that Enxiang's nephew is another prodigy of the Ming Dynasty, and he also knows a lot about Gao Pragmatic being specially promoted to the prince's companion, so he didn't dare to trust him when he met, and he gave enough face according to the etiquette of the senior brother meeting.

Gao pragmatic came to see him, mainly with the intention of buying land—not to buy fertile land, but to encircle a large number of wastelands, tidal flats, and unowned barren mountains that seem to be useless now, which is easy to say, and there is no great trouble. In particular, the tidal flats had a policy in the imperial court many years ago, and coastal residents migrated inland several times, so the population is now very small.

It doesn't matter if it's barren mountains and wasteland, Jizhou is a famous military town, and the households live relatively densely in order to avoid being beaten grass valleys at every turn, and most of the areas zoned out by Gao Pragmatic seem to belong to this kind of place where birds don't. According to the habitual mentality of local officials in Daming who basically don't care about plots other than fertile land, Wu Dui patted his chest and assured that it was no problem to sell these waste lands to Gao Pragmatic, and the price was easy to say.

The real trouble lies in the fact that Gao Pragmatic took a fancy to Kaiping Town, the seat of Kaiping Zhongtunwei.

But when Wu Dui frowned and said that this place was the seat of the military garrison, and there was a lot of trouble in the procedure to buy it, the senior brother who had been acting very humble and easy to speak in front of him suddenly became difficult to speak, and he insisted that he had to buy this land, so he did not hesitate to propose "I will build a new city for the guard at my own expense to move it."

Wu Dui was stunned when he heard this, and then strongly persuaded Gao Pragmatic not to do this...... Uh, don't spend money like that.

Kaiping Zhongtun Health Office is also known as Kaiping Town, nicknamed Sanmenzhuang. Qin belonged to the right Beiping County, the Han Dynasty placed Shicheng County here, later renamed Haiyang County, and belonged to Liaoxi County after the Jin Dynasty. Five generations later, the Jin Emperor Shi Jingjiao ceded land to the Khitan (Later Liao State) belonging to Pingzhou, "to capture Luanzhou".

Here the negative mountains with the river, on the Yushan, down to the Yuhe River, successively govern Yifeng County, Macheng County and Shicheng County, long live the first year of Tongtian (Wu Zetian called the first year of the emperor, 696 years) changed to Shicheng County. Yifeng County, "Benhuang Luocheng, Han Liaoxi County, long abandoned, five generations after the end of the Tang Dynasty, into the Khitan. During the time of Liao Shizong, the county was placed, and the household was 4,000".

In the first year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1403), Kaiping Zhongtunwei first moved to Zhending (now Zhengding, Hebei Province) from Daning Shaling, and then moved north to Shicheng Waste County in Yongle three years.

Kaiping was originally a low small earthen city, in the second year of Chenghua, by the right capital of the Imperial Court Li Gong played the quasi-emperor, by the Yongping Mansion through the judgment Duan Ji, Zhongyi Zhongwei deputy thousand households Chen Xu presided over the reconstruction, it took only half a year, built a circumference of 4,639 zhang, two zhang high three new city wall, and opened the south gate, to the frontal momentum; He made the east and west gates to lead to the future, and dredged waterways, built bridges, and dug moats. The city wall has the city gate tower in the east and west, and only the north side is just a coupon hole, so Kaiping is commonly known as "Sanmenzhuang". In addition, there is a suspension bridge outside the south gate, which was later changed to a stone bridge, and the name is "Puguang Bridge".

It stands to reason that this Kaiping town is not big, and the cost of repairing the city itself is quite low, even if it is built according to the original size, it costs about 50,000 taels of silver, but the problem is that if you build a new small city for others, not only will you finish repairing the city, but you also have to build a house, you have to relocate, etc., there are a lot of troubles, and the money to spend will be more.

What's more, since Kaiping Town is a military town, although he, the deputy military envoy, is in charge of both the military and the people, it is impossible to decide the relocation of Kaiping Town at the level. This kind of thing must be agreed by the governor of Jiliao, the governor of Shuntian and the general soldiers of Jizhen, and then apply for relocation to the imperial court, and the imperial court approves it. What's more, Kaiping Zhongtunwei itself is subordinate to Wanquan Dusi in terms of establishment, which is related to the Jingshi Xungui, so under the mutual involvement, it is a hundred times more difficult to do this matter than to approve Gao Pragmatic to buy more wasteland and barren mountains.

But Gao Pragmatic still seemed to refuse to give up and insisted on going to Kaiping to check in person. Wu Dui didn't care about it, and he was afraid that Gao Pragmatic would cause trouble for his own kindness, so he had to accompany him personally.

Gao pragmatic then made a field investigation and found that the Kaiping City planned and built during the Chenghua period has four main streets in the city, and the intersection is cross-shaped, and the intersection of the cross streets is the center of the city. It is also the highest point of the city, and it is commonly known as the "pavilion" by the locals. The southeast, northwest and northwest of the pavilion are respectively called: east, west, south and north streets. There are nine villages, eighteen alleys, nine bridges, and four gardens inside and outside the city.

In terms of area, it is indeed not large, looking at those low old earthen houses, the value is probably not very good, even if it is really according to Gao Pragmatic, the cost of migration is all out of his own pocket, which is probably within 100,000 taels.

However, the trouble that Wu Dui said is indeed a trouble, after all, the relocation of a guard is already a major national event, and the trouble of Kaiping Zhongtunwei lies in its establishment and subordination.

The current governor of Jiliao is Tan Lun, but he is about to be promoted to the Beijing Division, and the next to take over is the current Yingtian Governor Liu Yingjie, who is the same year as Zhang Juzheng, but according to Gao Pragmatic's view, it belongs to the object that can be wooed, and now the "Gao Party" is getting closer to him. The candidate to take over as governor of Shuntian is most likely Yang Zhao, and Wu Dui will be promoted to governor of Xuanfu if there is no accident.

Gao Shishi wanted to leave Wu Dui in Jiliao for a moment in his mind and serve as the governor of Shuntian, but after thinking about it, he couldn't, because if he didn't go to Xuanfu, the next tribute would not be credited, so not only did he have to be the governor of Xuanfu, but it was best to be a few months earlier than in history.

Yang Zhao is the current Tuntian Governor of Xifeng West Road, Jizhou, also known as Miyun Politics. This person is not very familiar with Gao Shishi, I only remember that he is from Shaanxi, Jiajing thirty-five years of Jinshi, one subject earlier than Wu Dui, so he has more qualifications, which may also be the reason why he took over as the governor of Shuntian in history, and Wu Dui only got the governor of Xuanfu.

However, he is neither a high party nor a Zhang party, and there is no clear cabinet veteran backer in the DPRK and the central government, and according to the general situation, it is not impossible to win over - there is also a prerequisite here, that is, Zhang Juzheng likes to use southerners in addition to his protégé in the same year. Gao Gong is different, although he also takes more care of the same year and his protégés, but he is relatively not particularly particular about the distinction between north and south, and even does not pay much attention to the Henan villagers, but takes a little care of the Shanxi people - this may be because the Jin party is an ally.
