Chapter 173: Various Speculations (4 More Than 10,000)
So Jiang is still old and spicy, when Zhu Yijun watched Gao Shi's secret performance before, he didn't expect that his plan, which seemed quite perfect, might have so much trouble inside.
But Zhu Yijun is indeed quite confident in Gao Pragmatism, he feels that with Gao Pragmatism, these troubles will definitely be solved, the only problem is how to convince these cabinet elders now - you can't just say "I believe in pragmatism" and send it away, that doesn't sound like Mingjun at all.
He could only take out what he said to Chen Ju that day and explain it again, and said: "In the mountains of Guangxi, you can't plant a few acres of land, so let the toasts change from Guangxi to Annam, presumably they are still willing, it's nothing more than how to determine the proportion of this replacement, I think...... Just like what Mr. Zhang just said, this kind of 'doing business' general thing should be difficult to be pragmatic. β
In terms of doing business, you don't have anything to say, Gao Pragmatic's ability in this regard is obvious, he doesn't buy land, he doesn't sell salt, he has such a big industry in ten years, and no one is embarrassed to question his ability to do business.
After all, people still have serious things to do in the past ten years - he read and watched politics as a companion, and he also took the top six exams, who dares to say that these two things are not serious? So, no matter how much effort he puts into doing business or something, everyone can only say that he is just playing casually......
But this is too ruthless, you can't even think about it: you just play like this?!
You must know that his industry is now incomparable to even the Zhang family, which monopolizes the Changlu Salt Farm, who dares to question the level of doing business?
The Zhang family did monopolize the cornucopia-like Changlu Salt Farm, but Gao Pragmatic almost monopolized the port of Daming! In recent years, the tax collected by the port has been rising year by year, and everyone is an elder, who can not know?
What does that mean? That means that Gao Pragmatic earns more here!
Except for Mr. Guo Pu, who has no interest in money, all the elders think of this matter, who doesn't sigh in their hearts: Why didn't the old man think about going to those broken ports to buy a few wasteland and tidal flats like Gao Pragmatic? Seeing the price of those lands rise faster than bamboo......
But doing business is doing business, and being able to convince Guangxi Tusi is only one aspect, and the more critical thing is what to do with Annan.
Yu Youding glanced at Shen Shixing, took the initiative to take over the topic, and said: "Since Guangxi Tusi is willing to send 50,000 troops to follow the southern expedition, it must be possible to persuade them, and the minister is not too worried about this." The minister is worried that it is mainly the people of Annam, and since the Li clan and the Zheng clan are traitors, it is okay to punish them, even if their territory should be taken back and distributed to the Tusi, it must be able to be suppressed, but the land of the Li clan and the Zheng clan alone does not seem to be enough...... When the time comes, will you still have to divide the territory of the Mo family? That Mo was beaten by mistake before, and if he had to divide his territory later, he was afraid that it would be easy to force them to take risks. β
The so-called mistaken beating refers to the fact that at the very beginning, Gao Pragmatic used the reason of "Mo's assassination" to start a war, and later after Mo's pacification, Gao Pragmatic actually said that it was a complete misunderstanding before, and it turned out that Zheng Song did the assassination - doesn't this mean that Mo's was wrongfully beaten? Although it doesn't make sense for a father to beat his son in this era - it's good that Lao Tzu is happy, but this ...... It's still a loss.
Especially now that Annan's land estimate is not enough, what should I do? If you go to divide Mo's land again, isn't it too wronged for Mo's family?
It doesn't matter whether you are active or passive, anyway, people will follow you to the south and participate in the counterinsurgency, even if you don't have merit, you have to have a hard work.
This is too unbenevolent, after all, our Ming Dynasty is the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and it is impossible to get by doing this kind of thing.
Face is such a thing, it may not be important when you want to die or live, but you still have to maintain it in normal times, and you can't do this kind of thing inexplicably, otherwise there are so many vassals and so many toasts in the Ming Dynasty, if you know that there is no benefit in following the Ming Dynasty, and you will even be slaughtered, then how can you maintain the system of the Heavenly Empire?
Zhu Yijun was also embarrassed, and said in his heart that this matter is pragmatic, if you have any way, you have to tell me in advance, what do you say now?
However, Guo Pu suddenly thought of something and asked: "Your Majesty, the old minister seems to remember that he should have mentioned some measures to calm the people's hearts in Annan?" β
"Oh, yes." Zhu Yijun nodded.
"The emperor forgives the sin, the old minister is old, and some of them can't remember clearly, I don't know if the emperor remembers what he said?"
Zhu Yijun was slightly stunned, but his memory was not bad, and he immediately said: "Oh, he said that he would compile the people's register, reduce the land endowment, build schools, install new officials, repair water conservancy, and open up mining ......."
As he spoke, he was stunned for a moment.
Guo Pu really laughed and said: "It seems that there is indeed a plan for it, and the so-called compilation of people's registration, reducing the land endowment, and revitalizing schools in front of it are all clichΓ©s, and there is nothing to say." But for the latter three articles, Lao Chen estimated that he had a plan. β
Shen Shixing frowned and said, "What's the plan?" It is good to put the new officials to say, as soon as Li and Zheng are removed, their rebellious henchmen will definitely be brought to justice, and many official positions will definitely be vacated at that time, and these positions can naturally accommodate some people, but who are these positions used to replace? Surely the toasts won't be happy to go, right? β
Of course, the Tusi would not do it, even if it was a hereditary prefect, but if it weren't for the Tusi's kind of Tu Governor's Mansion who decided on the territory under their rule, they would definitely not do it, how good it is to be the Tu Emperor.
Yu Youding also said: "That's right, and the water conservancy is ...... While there are certainly benefits in the long run, at least in the short term, they are certainly cost-back. Since the imperial court does not plan to directly govern Annan, who will pay for the water conservancy repair? If Annan came out, Mo Shi could take it out and didn't say it, at least whether he was willing to take it or not, the minister thought it was difficult to say. β
Xu Guo followed and said: "That is to say, only mining is a good thing that is beneficial to both parties, and the imperial court will definitely not go all the way to Annan to mine, and this matter will finally fall on the head of the press, maybe the press will give Mohs a part of the mineral profits at that time, so as to calm Mo's anger?" β
Zhu Yijun coughed lightly and added: "Oh, Mr. Xu mentioned this matter, I want to say it, Gao Shishi said that when the time comes, you can pay the imperial court 200,000 catties of iron ore and 80,000 catties of copper ore every year, or convert it into pig iron, refined iron, wrought copper, bronze and the like according to the proportion...... Well, he's talking about pure tribute, and you don't have to give it back. β
The ministers looked at each other, and thought in their hearts: Gao Pragmatic, this kid is not good at "observing the earth", just arrived in Annan, you know that Annan has copper and iron, and as soon as you open your mouth, you promise so many tributes that don't want to be returned?
Of course, copper and iron are good things, they belong to strategic materials that are only afraid of less and not afraid of more, the army on paper of the imperial court is nearly one million, and the New Deal has been carried out for nearly ten years, and the reloading of a Longqing Type II musket has not yet been completed, where will there be no need for iron? Needless to say, copper is not needed to cast money and artillery, fortunately, Emperor Taizu is wise and martial, and he holds Yunnan firmly in his hands, otherwise the Ming Dynasty is now lacking copper even more.
However, the copper mines run by the imperial court are getting more and more loss-making, and now they are about to be unable to do it, so that they have to "routinely run the household compradors" every year to mint money, so if there is a copper mine in Annan, and Gao Pragmatic can also provide 80,000 catties of copper ore for free, it is almost more than 20,000 catties of copper, which is a lot.
If Gao Pragmatic still wants to distribute profits to Mohs, then ...... He's planning to dig in Annan, isn't this guy a groundhog, so fond of digging?
