In Gao Gong's view, Gao Gong's ultimate goal, whether it is leading or guiding, is the same: to prompt me to propose Tonggong.

But Gao Pragmatic knew that in fact, I didn't need to go to the matter of Tonggong at all, because that's what he did in history - what he had been thinking about for the past 30 years was to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and war was the last resort he had to do.

It's ironic.

However, Gao Shishi still felt that he had to go to the border in person, not for the sake of Tonggong itself, but only to engrave his name in the following incident of paying tribute.

He knew his current situation well, or from the very beginning when he planned to approach the crown prince, he knew what situation he would face: Mu Xiu Yu Lin.

This is a very dangerous word, because it is always "the wind will destroy it".

Think about it, Gao Pragmatic came to Beijing with Gao Gong from Xinzheng, and it has only been a little more than half a year so far, but what he has done is not small:

When he first came, he had to rely on his third uncle for food and housing, and then he got a "blood allowance" from his uncle's family and a courtyard with a seemingly large ground but in fact limited income, but it was real estate, and the actual funds on hand were very limited.

However, relying on a sudden encounter, he seized the opportunity to subdue the Bailixia smuggling group called Xiangma, and immediately obtained a fairly ample starting capital. Then, he relied on the funds to expand the scale of smuggling and launch Jinghua soap. In this way, he relied on the smugglers to get close to the border army relations with the so-called "high-arched descendants" of Xuanfu, Datong, and Shanxi, and relied on the profits of soap to win over the top nobles in the capital, and by the way, began to buy coal fields and iron mines near Kaiping and Luanzhou on a large scale with surplus profits.

At present, although his focus is tilted towards officialdom, Sanshenyuan has already produced a batch of pedal molds and supporting coal furnaces used in the manufacture of honeycomb coal, but because of the recent high pragmatic funds tilted to other aspects, the coal mine in Sanshenyuan is only trial mining so far, and the production capacity is limited, so it has not been put into the capital market for the time being. But in any case, the preparations for honeycomb coal have basically been put in place, and only the final capital investment is needed to expand the scale of coal mine production. As for the market, Gao Pragmatic is not worried, the combustion efficiency of honeycomb coal far exceeds that of wood and old-fashioned briquettes, and it is already very scary to have the huge market of Jingshi, not to mention that he can also find a way to provide it to the border army - this thing is more cost-effective than burning wood, and the poor jingle border army will definitely not refuse.

As long as the next I answer the tribute is successfully promoted, Gao Pragmatic will have the largest share in Xuanfu, Datong, and Shanxi Towns and Mashi because of his first-mover advantage and relationship with Hannaji, which is basically the rhythm of waiting for money. Of course, there is still a little trouble here, that is, as soon as the horse market opens, Shanxi businessmen will inevitably enter in a big way, and Wang Chonggu, Zhang Siwei, and Ma Ziqiang's three alliances will definitely not let go, and when the time comes, he and his uncle will definitely have a negotiation to divide the circle of interests.

He will not give up the immediate interests for no reason because his uncle has given him initial support before, and Zhang Siwei will not order his own business to avoid Gao pragmatic management because he is his nephew - because they represent not only themselves, they all have a large group of people under their command who rely on them to eat!

It's not that family affection won't be talked about, but it is precisely because family affection is to be talked about that the scope of interests should be negotiated earlier, so as not to hurt feelings in the end - the old saying that brothers settle accounts is not unreasonable.

However, his performance in the mall, among which is really in the open and visible to everyone, is actually only Jinghua soap. But even if there is only Jinghua soap, it is enough to shock the high pragmatic ability to make money:

Of course, the two "Forbidden City Special Editions" of "Imperial Tribute" and "National Color" are not for sale, so let's not mention them for the time being. "Guoshi" and "Tianxiang" are the lite versions of the first two special editions, and each piece is priced at one tael. In the first two months, the "Guoshi" had been selling better, and in the next three or four months, the sales of "Tianxiang" suddenly exploded, and now it has reached more than three times that of the "Guoshi", and the gross profit brought by the two types of soap to Gao Pragmatic was as high as nearly 70,000 taels of silver, which still removed the part of the honorable dividends - why did the Zhu Xizhong brothers and Zhang Rong support Gao Pragmatic at the Imperial Meeting? Money can be spiritual.

Every time Gao Pragmatic saw the salivating expression when they accepted the dividends, he couldn't help but think, if I didn't have the identity of "Gao Gong's nephew", I was afraid that these noble fathers and marquis would have to hold a meeting to find a way to seize this property, right?

This is just the "wood show in the forest" in the shopping mall, and what makes many people sleepless is his performance in the political arena:

Originally, when Gao Gong returned to Beijing and brought him to appear in front of the hundred officials who greeted him, everyone just thought that Gao Gong was old and childless, and he might have planned to train this nephew as a mantle heir, but because Gao Gong was too young, everyone didn't really take it seriously - even if you are as precocious as Yang Tinghe and Yang Shen's father and son, you have to be in your twenties to be on the gold list. Even if you are smarter, we can accept it, after all, the Jinshi master in his teens in the Ming Dynasty can indeed find a long list, but after all, it will be almost ten years later, so why rush now?

However, what people never expected was that because of the emperor's whim, the "prince playmate" incident was created, and then it developed to the point that it was necessary to find a prince to read - sure enough, this laurel was taken away by Gao Pragmatic.

Well, the prince reads with the prince, after all, he is not a formal official, even if you have a good relationship with the prince, you can't stand the prince's young age, his status is noble, but he has no real power, and you still have to wait for the future to be admitted to the Jinshi before you can really enter the official career and play a role in the political arena.

Who knows that there are accidents every year, especially this year. The prince reads the book, and suddenly there is a "view of the government" system, every day there is a piece of the chapter and the cabinet vote of the chapter needs to be presented to the prince for reading, although the prince is only nominally "watching the government to study", but he is not a dead man, since he wants to "study" after reading, he must speak, and the emperor has always been particularly concerned about the prince's studies, and the evaluation of the prince after the "view of the government" is also very important, so it leads to the fact that although the prince does not "participate in politics", but in fact has a certain impact on government affairs.

If it's just like this, in fact, it doesn't matter, the concert that the prince gets, in addition to the concert itself and the vote, after all, there is also a "red", which is approved by the celebrant in accordance with the emperor's will, even if the prince expresses his opinion, it is unlikely that he will clearly oppose it. However, the surprise is that Gao Pragmatic is too easy to lead the prince's thinking, and this guy is also unexpectedly eloquent, so that Feng Bao, the first eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor and the commander of the East Factory, who has always regarded himself as a "Confucian eunuch" and is quite conceited about his talents, has suffered a big loss in front of this kid!

At this time, hundreds of officials and even local officials in Beijing began to pay attention to this "little pavilion elder".

The word Mu Xiu Yu Lin, Gao Pragmatic has been fully implemented in both politics and business!

What to do? Wait for the wind to destroy it?
