Xu Wenbi may not be able to hold on to his body, so he only talked to Gao Shishi about this matter, and then left Shangshu Mansion and went back to the mansion to rest.

Zhu Yingzhen and others stayed, and first chatted with Gao Shishi about the recent operation of the Production and Construction Corps.

The most important feature of the reform of the Beijing camp is very interesting, as I have already said, that is, the Janissary Army, a real combat unit, is separated from the "logistics department" of the Production and Construction Corps.

There is nothing to say about the Praetorian Guard, the emperor has the supreme power to command the army, the right to command, and the right to appoint and dismiss all personnel, but in peacetime these powers are "delegated" to the hands of the military department Rong Zheng Lang, who acts on behalf of most of the power, especially the power to command the army. The real command is still in the hands of the commander of the Praetorian Guard, but the commander of the Praetorian Guard can only command, but does not have the right to transfer troops - the right to transfer troops is the right to command the troops.

At the same time, another important guarantee of the loyalty of this army is the separation of logistics to the Production and Construction Corps.

The so-called logistics is not only the supply of military rations, but also other materials such as barracks and marching tents, including clothing, clothing, clothing, and other materials, all of which are provided by the Production and Construction Corps. Moreover, major consumables such as military rations can only receive half a month's needs in peacetime, and excess is not allowed. This is similar to Gao Shishi's method of controlling the garrisons in southern Xinjiang in Beijing.

These are considered military quartermasters, and in addition to ordnance. The Janissary Guard's ordnance warehouse adopted the "imitation tiger charm system", that is, the warehouse key was divided into two, and the warehouse management personnel of the Praetorian Guard and the Production and Construction Corps each held half of it, and only when the two keys were unlocked, the warehouse could be opened smoothly.

In peacetime training, there are also regulations on the distribution of weapons, of which four-fifths are cold weapons and one-fifth are firearms. Why are there fewer firearms? It is to prevent change, but in this way, it does not meet the requirements of high pragmatism to increase the proportion of firearms, so the firearms training of the Praetorian Guards adopts a rotational training system - there are so many things, everyone takes turns to train, and the replacement does not change the gun.

Of course, not changing the gun is just a saying, in fact, it still has to be changed, but after this batch has been beaten, it will have to be handed over to the production and construction corps in exchange for another batch of use.

Of course, there are many details in this, such as the Praetorian Guard must carefully inspect every time they receive ordnance, otherwise the damage to the training will have to be accounted for; The same is true for the Production and Construction Corps, every gun must be carefully checked, otherwise if it is not counted in person, the next time it is given to the Praetorian Guard, people will naturally not accept it, and then the account will be credited to the Production and Construction Corps.

Since there is no real relationship between the two sides now, of course, they will usually keep an eye on each other for their own interests, so they have reached high pragmatic expectations and formed the "mutual supervision" he hopes.

In this era, the driving force of interests is obviously 100 times higher than the so-called "responsibility" and "honor", and Gao Shipra would rather let them supervise each other because of their interests, rather than expect them to realize what national responsibility and national righteousness are.

The production and construction corps is in the hands of the nobles, and the nobles themselves are an extension of the imperial power, and any appointment and dismissal of the governors of the five armies is of course also decided by the emperor, so the emperor is the real source of power for them.

The emperor gave them power, and they reciprocated with loyalty, but also with money—those provided to the Praetorian Guard.

However, Gao Shishi, as the "assistant director of the Beijing camp Rongzheng" at that time, of course could not forget himself, so the Rongzheng Shilang supervised the production and construction corps on behalf of the emperor.

The word "overseer" is interesting, especially in the context of the Ming Dynasty.

The governor supervised the officials of a place, and gradually became a feudal territory; The commander of the East Factory supervised Jinyiwei and gradually became Jinyiwei's boss.

Rong Zheng Shilang supervised the Production and Construction Corps, and of course he actually became the "number one" of the Production and Construction Corps. In this way, coupled with the fact that Rong Zheng Shilang had all the powers that the commander of the Praetorian Guard exercised on behalf of the emperor, the two parts of the Beijing camp were actually in the hands of Rong Zheng Shilang.

However, Rong Zheng Shilang himself was only a civil official, and his position was appointed and dismissed by the emperor, and like other holy decrees, this appointment and dismissal required the attachment of the cabinet and the six sections, so the civil official group also held important powers.

Why is there so little opposition to such a big issue as the reform of the Beijing camp within the civil official group? Here's the reason - the civilian clique is the beneficiary, and through this restructuring, the civilian clique has completely overridden the heads of the military ministers, including the Xungui clique.

But there are two very strange points: one is that Gao Pragmatic himself does not agree with the model of "Wen Shi Wu is like a dog", why did he do this?

The second is why the Xungui and Wuchen clique did not object.

The first problem is actually not that complicated, and there are only two reasons: First, the reason why Gao Shicheng did this is because he knows that he cannot let the civil official clique think that he is an "anti-backbone" now, and he must insist on showing that he has always been working for the civil clique, so that the road of officialdom can continue.

Second, although Rong Zheng Shilang has so much power, in fact, it still varies from person to person. In other words, if he is highly pragmatic in office, Rong Zhenglang will be able to completely override the head of the Praetorian Guard and the Production and Construction Corps, saying that the east is the east, and the west is the west. But once the person is changed, it is difficult to say whether the uniformed squire can still do this.

Why? One is that the saints are different, and the other is that the control over the nobles is different. There is no need to explain the saint's family at all, and there is no need to explain too much about the control of the nobles: the Beiyang Maritime Trade Alliance is one thing, and many of the transactions of the Production and Construction Corps are constantly involved with Jinghua on the other hand.

This is the influence of high pragmatism on the production and construction corps, and he actually has an impact on the Praetorian Guard - the officers of the Praetorian Guard start from Qi Jiguang, the commander, and the next to the battalion level, which one is not a high-level pragmatic person?

No matter how powerful the next Rong Zheng Lang is, can he directly ignore the existence of Gao Pragmatic, and give the Praetorian Guard all from top to bottom, and then replace him with his people?

If he doesn't change people, Gao Shishi's influence will still be there, because he is not Zhishi returning to his hometown, his future is very good, and the people of the Praetorian Guard are not stupid.

On the whole, the highly pragmatic reform of the Beijing camp left only a small "back door", that is, according to his current practice, the Production and Construction Corps itself has achieved basic financial independence, and this independence is external to the financial system of the imperial court.

Gao pragmatic is not a saint, he also has his own interests: at that time, he needed the production and construction corps to be financially independent and not be affected by the household department - because being influenced by the household department is also influenced by the cabinet, and the first assistant of the cabinet is Shen Shixing after all.

However, Gao Pragmatic didn't expect that he would actually come to be the head of the household, so some things had to change a little. For example, it is necessary to take back this financial power back to the household department now.

This matter was originally quite troublesome, but now it is a blessing in disguise - the nobles have taken the initiative to come to the door.

Because they were worried that the emperor would be deceived by Shi Xing, a guy who had become an anti-bone boy nine times out of ten, the nobles were afraid that their interests would be damaged, so they took the initiative to come to inform them of what they knew, and at the same time hoped that Gao Pragmatic would rescue them.

Here's your chance.

After listening to the worries of Zhu Yingzhen and the others, Gao Pragmatic sighed, and said solemnly: "Your worries are reasonable, the matter of Linggong is no different, but no one dares to push back on this matter. ”

Zhu Yingzhen, Zhang Yuangong and the others glanced at each other, and said cautiously: "But seek truth, this system is the ...... you have set."

Gao pragmatic stretched out his hands: "That's no way, no matter how big the face of the little brother is, it can't be as big as the emperor." What's more, my Gao family has been deeply favored by the emperor for generations, if the emperor's longevity palace is really in need, even if the younger brother is allowed to donate by himself, it will be fully supported, not to mention that the system set is a little exceptional? ”

"Yes, yes, the truth is naturally this truth. If necessary, one of us is counted as one, and we are also willing to share the emperor's worries......" Zhu Yingzhen said, paused, and said embarrassedly: "But if the use of the Production and Construction Corps is opened up like this, it will be difficult to do things in the future." ”

Gao pragmatic glanced at him, suddenly smiled, and said, "Little brother heard that the production and construction corps made a profit of more than 100,000 taels last month?" ”

Zhu Yingzhen knew that Gao Pragmatic could check the accounts before, so he naturally didn't dare to hide it, and said with a dry smile: "Yes...... Last month, it made a total profit of 113,700 taels. ”

Gao pragmatically smiled: "According to this calculation, the annual profit of the Production and Construction Corps can exceed 1.3 million taels, no wonder you are afraid that you will return to the situation where you may be beaten at any time in the future." ”

Therefore, it is very important to liberate the productive forces, according to the previous method, the Beijing camp was "exploited" by the imperial court, and secondly, the nobles and nobles were privately enriched in their own military registration and military camps. First, everyone must maintain the old garbage system, and secondly, they dare not put it on the table to make a big deal, and the people below have no enthusiasm for production, which naturally leads to low efficiency at all levels and extremely low returns.

At present, this is somewhat similar to the implementation of the shareholding dividend system at the top level of the Production and Construction Corps, while the "joint production contract system" has been implemented at the grassroots level.

At such a time, the nobles suddenly found that the good days might be coming to an end, so who could stand it? Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, not to mention such a large sum of money? It's really unbearable!

However, at this time, Zhu Yingzhen misunderstood Gao Shishi's meaning, and after hearing him say this, Zhu Yingzhen immediately exchanged glances with Zhang Yuangong and others, and then said with a smile: "This is actually your credit for seeking the truth, we are different from some people, and the gratitude is written in the bones...... So we've discussed, all this money should have a share of yours. ”

Gao Pragmatic was slightly stunned, and only then did he know that this group of people was planning to use a dividend to buy themselves to help deal with this trouble, and he couldn't help but cry and laugh.

To be honest, although he Jinghua is also in a period of financial tension now, he really won't be bought by this money - even if the Production and Construction Corps earns 1.3 or 400 million a year, how much can they give themselves? If you give him one-tenth of the day, it will only be 130,000 or 40,000 a year.

Hundreds of thousands of taels are not a small amount of money anywhere, but in front of Jinghua's owner Gao Pragmatic, it is really just that.

For example, let's say that Jinghua recently planned to build a third-class battleship program but has temporarily stopped the plan, so what is the standard and price of the third-class battleship?

The three-stage sail battleship set by Jinghua has a design displacement of 1,600 tons, adopts two-deck gun specifications, has 72 guns of various types, has a crew of 460 people, and the cost of a single ship is as high as 240,000 taels of silver.

Although Jinghua's previous construction plan was only three, and the plan was temporarily stopped, that is not the key, the key is the total cost - 240,000 taels for a single ship!

This kind of battleship built entirely for combat has such a terrifying ability to swallow gold, so the navy is really not something that a weak and small country can afford. With such a large trade volume in Jinghua, once the financial constraints are tight, the construction has to be suspended.

But having said that, Jinghua had such a plan before, and it can be seen that Gao Pragmatic will definitely not care about the "small income" of more than 100,000 taels of silver per year.

Gao pragmatic then smiled: "Good intentions, but this is not necessary." Then he stretched out his hand to stop Zhu Yingzhen, who was about to speak, and comforted: "Actually, although this matter is difficult, but it is a coincidence that the younger brother has gone to the household department now, but there is a way to use it, but it is just ......."

"Just what?" All the nobles sat up straight, leaned forward slightly, asked these four words in unison, and then waited for a pragmatic answer.

Gao pragmatic smiled slightly: "I just don't know if you can trust your little brother." ”

"What's that called?" Zhu Yingzhen looked surprised: "If we can't even trust you, then who else can we trust?" Ji Bu Yinuo is just a daughter, you Yinuo...... That's 300,000 taels! ”

Zhang Yuangong also nodded again and again, and said with great certainty: "There is no need to ask this kind of thing, the most trustworthy person in this world is you who seek truth from each other, not to mention the friendship of more than ten years, just say that the transactions you have done with you over the years, when have you made us suffer?" If I can't figure out this reason, I look at this person as hopeless. ”

Gao pragmatic glanced around at the rest of the nobles, and everyone still didn't understand anything, so they naturally said that they could trust it completely, and our trust in you Gao Qiuzhen was more certain than believing in my father.

Seeing this, Gao Pragmatic nodded, his face was solemn, and he said: "This method is that the financial income of the Production and Construction Corps will be handed over to the Household Department first, and then the Household Department will return it to the Corps according to the needs of the Corps and the Praetorian Guard. Only then will I have a reason to push back the demands of the Ministry of Works for you. In other words, once this is the case, if the Ministry of Industry wants to use the Corps, it must first pass the level of our household department - even if the emperor wants to use it, he must come to me first. ”

The nobles could not oppose the emperor, and they could only do whatever the emperor said, but the civil officials were different, and it was not uncommon for the civil officials to push the emperor's intentions back.

Merely......
