The third thing is because of Huang Zhiting's letter. ，

In the Jinghua system, no matter who writes a letter to Gao Shishi to report things, he needs to indicate the category on the cover, which is somewhat like the imperial court's recital.

But Huang Zhiting is theoretically not a subordinate within the Jinghua system, and her letter to Gao Pragmatic is exceptionally clean on the cover, that is, "Haidong Town Guard Huang Zhiting respectfully presents the servant Gao Gong pragmatic and personally Qitaijian".

If it weren't for Huang Zhiting's special identity, this letter would even be a little arrogant.

Although the Haidong town guard envoy is Annan's official position, Annan is now a "subordinate", and this town guard envoy is also a military position, although his authority in the local area, because of the famous halls played by Gao Pragmatic, it can basically be called one and the same, and the proper real power faction, but if you really want to talk about status, it is really not worth it in the face of high pragmatism.

Especially after the Battle of Monan, when several general soldiers under the command of Gao Pragmatic wrote to him, they inevitably called themselves lackeys, and even Li Chengliang, the Liujue Uncle, who had Ning Yuanbo on his head, wrote a letter of thanks to Gao Pragmatic as "Li Mou, a lackey under Muen's door".

Although Huang Zhiting has a strange commandment, after all, she is a full-time military attaché, and she is not as good as the general soldier in terms of rank, and it is cheap to be able to claim to be like this group of general soldiers.

Of course, when Huang Zhiting sent this letter, she probably didn't know Gao Shishi's great achievements in Monan.

Judging from the high and pragmatic high standards of the article, Huang Zhiting's letter is a bit "scattered", and the structure is very problematic, and it seems that the priority is unclear and the focus is unclear. Of course, he can still understand it, firstly, Huang Zhiting's level is limited, and he is definitely not comparable to those jinshi who are higher than him, and secondly, Huang Zhiting does not treat him as an official, but as a lover, and writes letters or something, so he is naturally more casual.

There are several things mentioned in this letter, and the first part of the long article is about the relocation and resettlement work of the Anbang Xuanfu Division, and in general, it is just one sentence: everything is under control. ^^ is advancing in the direction that Gao Pragmatic planned for her before, and there are no unexpected forks.

Next, Huang Zhiting mentioned one thing, she wanted to come to Beijing to pay tribute on behalf of the Annan Metropolitan Division.

Of course, the Commander of Annan needs to pay tribute to the emperor, and there is no need to explain this, but the problem is that according to custom, the tribute minister should be a famous civil official in Annan, and it will not be Huang Zhiting's turn anyway.

You must know that she is not only a military attaché, but also a foreign officer, and her actual status in Annan is no different from that of the Jiedu envoy in the late Tang Dynasty.

However, as soon as Gao Pragmatic saw this statement, he knew that Huang Zhiting was obviously a drunkard, not in wine, but in the mountains and rivers.

She wants to come to Jingshi, where is it to pay tribute, she definitely wants to come to meet her. A woman in love really has all her thoughts on love.

Originally, it didn't matter if this matter was agreed, anyway, after Gao Pragmatic made the Jinghua Sixteen Articles, the Annan Metropolitan Command Department was a nominal yamen, and the only role was almost to cover a radish seal, and the real power was in the hands of the Jinghua Group.

Besides, Huang Zhiting only said that she wanted to come to pay tribute, but did not say that she had to be a regular envoy, and arranged for her to be a deputy envoy, and was responsible for the safety of her entourage.

However, if she is asked to come to Beijing now, there seems to be a bit of a problem with the timing.

If Annan comes to pay tribute this year, there is only one name, which is Zhu Yijun's birthday on the Wanshou Festival.

Zhu Yijun is three months younger than Gao Shipra, it is the birthday of the month, and now Annan is notified to come to pay tribute for the Wanshou Festival, and it is very likely that Annan will be too late to take the land route.

The Ming court had regulations that Annan could only pay tribute through Zhennanguan and enter China through Guangxi.

Of course, this problem is actually not big, if Gao Pragmatic is willing to speak, Zhu Yijun's side can definitely use the "exception" as an excuse to relax the restrictions, and let the Annan Gong envoy directly take the ship of Jinghua and take the sea route all the way to Tianjin Port and enter Beijing. In that case, a month is almost up.

But whether it is three months or a month, Gao Pragmatic feels that there is a problem, because today he has discussed with Zhu Yijun and is ready to go to Liaodong to make up for the vacancy of Liaodong Yuan Ma Siqing asked for Zhishi at the end of last year, Zhu Yijun was immersed in the pie that Gao Pragmatic drew for him, and he was planning Tumut, where would he have time to deal with the resignation of this small feudal in southern Liaoning? So it dragged on.

And now that Gao Pragmatic wants to go to Liaodong to mix his qualifications, he must strike while the iron is hot, and take advantage of his great exploits in the battle of Monan to be sent over quickly, so that it is enough to form a sensation and give Li Chengliang a deterrent.

Therefore, Gao Pragmatic estimated that he should leave for Liaodong in a short time, and when Huang Zhiting entered Beijing but could not see him, he was afraid that he would be even more depressed. A woman in love is already sensitive, but don't misunderstand that Gao Pragmatic is avoiding her at that time, then it won't be beautiful.

Even if Gao Pragmatic told her the reason, it didn't make much sense, Huang Zhiting might be able to come to Beijing in the name of tribute, but what reason did she have to suddenly go to Liaodong after paying tribute?

Therefore, it is better not to enter Beijing, if you have to meet, it is better to think of another idea and go directly to Liaodong.

Annan and Liaodong can't seem to think of anything to do with each other, but Gao Pragmatic is Gao Pragmatic after all, he thought about it for a while, and really came up with a reason for him.

Trade in salt grains.

Theoretically, Annam has a good base for salt production, but that is only a theory, in fact, until the later generations of high pragmatism crossed, Vietnam's salt production was very low, when China's raw salt production reached about 60 million tons, Vietnam's salt production barely exceeded 1.5 million tons.

Even if China still has a small part of its salt production, even if it is only sea salt, China has a crushing advantage over Vietnam. If we take the length of the coastline as an average, China is still more than ten times that of Vietnam.

Therefore, the current Annan is actually short of salt.

Gao Pragmatic has not yet started drying salt in Liaodong, but in terms of the manpower, material and financial resources that he can control, this matter itself is not difficult to do, and it can almost be said that as long as he arrives, he can start doing it immediately, and he does not have to wait for next year, he can produce salt this year.

But Liaodong must be short of food, although the land in Liaodong is fertile, but because Li Chengliang's defensive method is to wait for the Mongols to come in and then counterattack and pursue, rather than a quick repulse like Qi Jiguang, so although Liaodong's combat effectiveness is strong, it is still often attacked and looted.

Being harassed and looted must have caused the people to be unable to be content with production, which aggravated the shortage of grain, so much so that it was often necessary for the imperial court to transfer grain from Shandong to Liaodong.

In addition, Liaodong is still very unlucky this year, and there are floods and windstorms, and the reduction of grain production has been ironclad.

It's actually pretty good now, at the end of the Ming Dynasty in history, the imperial court needed much more food to support Liaodong.

In any case, Liaodong is short of grain and Vietnam has more grain, and Liaodong will soon be able to produce salt alone while Vietnam is short of salt, which can already form a complementary, and it can be used as a reason for Huang Zhiting to run in person.

The only question is whether it is still cost-effective after adding the cost of transportation.

Of course, it would be even better if it was cost-effective, and in the future, Vietnam's grain could even be used in the north of the Ming Dynasty.

Well, let's give it a try, no. 11
