Chapter 196: Gao Mo reports
Liaodong, Fuyuan, backyard study.
Gao Mo, the director of the Jinghua Department of Internal Affairs, who had not appeared by Gao Pragmatic's side for a long time, was reporting something, and on the big desk in front of Gao Pragmatic, there were several thick stacks of files.
In addition to soap, cement and other goods that were originally in a monopoly nature, Jinghua's iron products began to appear in Nanzhili and Jiangxi, Zhejiang and other places on a large scale. In addition, Guangxi's sugar products have quickly opened up sales in Nanzhili, and the momentum is very strong, according to the director's estimate, it may now account for more than half of the bulk sugar trading ...... in Nanzhili and other places."
"The Advisory Bureau of the Embassy of Annam Metropolitan Government reported that the Envoy of Annam, Mo Maocha, seems to have recovered from his eye disease, and the Advisory Bureau is continuing to observe and closely monitor him.
"The Annan Advisory Bureau reported that Cen Ling, the envoy of Jingxi Town, was ordered by the Advisory Bureau of the Metropolitan Unification Department to preside over the elimination of Li and Zheng Yuxi, and since the beginning of this year, 27 battles of all sizes have been fought to exterminate Li, Zheng Yuxian or nine bandits and bandits in their names, totaling about 30,000 people, all of whom have achieved victory. Three of these operations were assisted by generals such as Mo Yulin and Ruan Ti; At the same time, two operations were aided by the commander of the Thang Long Garrison, Gao Ming. ”
Gao Mengnan, the commander-in-chief of the three towns of Nghe An, Hue and Quang Nam, and the deputy envoy for the preparation of the Golden Port, Gao Mengnan, and the deputy envoy for the preparation of the Golden Port, Gao Shiqin, reported that the construction of the third phase of the Golden Port project has been completed in November this year, the construction of the port, the main urban area and the city wall has been completed, and the construction of the fourth phase of the project, namely the cultural, educational and leisure areas, is expected to start in February next year.
However, now they have found a problem, that is, although the number of Han people has increased rapidly, most of these people are Hakka people in the past in Liangguang and Fujian, these people are grouped separately by provincial origin, not very controlled, and there are often armed fights, and I heard that a large number of various gangs have developed. Gao Jing, the commander of the Jingang garrison, suppressed it twice and killed more than 300 people, although the situation seemed to be suppressed, but Gao Mengnan and Gao Jing disagreed on this matter......"
When Gao Shishi heard this, he interjected for the first time and said, "The gang problem, just crack down on it, I don't need this." ”
Gao Mo didn't have a superfluous expression on his face, he just asked: "But the second master of Dafang (Gao Mengnan) said that there are many gangs formed according to professions, and many gangs are formed according to regions, if they can be united, it will also be of great benefit to the stability and development of Jingang." ”
Gao pragmatically waved his hand coldly and said, "First, without them, I can also make Jingang prosperous and stable; Second, I can tolerate the emergence of guilds from all walks of life, and I can also tolerate the Han people from all over the country to organize fellow villagers' associations. However, all this is based on the premise of abiding by the rules, and if they rely on the strength of the crowd and break the rules I set, there is only one way to be banned.
Hmph, gather a crowd to fight? Yes, let Gao Jing fight them well, if they are so capable and can fight more than 30,000 Jingang garrisons, I will give them this Jingang City. ”
Gao Mo was shocked when he heard this, and said secretly: The murderous aura on the master's body is much heavier than before.
Then he lowered his head and replied, "Yes, master." ”
Gao Shi nodded slightly: "Continue." ”
Gao Mo said again: "Under the active contact and mediation of Father Luo Mingjian, Cass ...... The kingdom of Tilia was very interested in the trade plan proposed by the lord, and I heard that the king himself wrote a letter to the lord, which has now been sent to Annam. According to Father Luo Mingjian, the king was about to ...... to Franc Oh, and to wage a war of unification against Portugal (which was actually already waged and close to victory at this time), he assured, the Portuguese would join the framework of the plan at that time. ”
Gao Shishi bowed his head and said: "This battle should have begun, and Castile can easily win, although there are many people in Portugal who oppose Philip II, but there are also many people who support him, plus with his strength, this trade agreement can definitely be signed as long as he agrees." ”
This topic was beyond Gao Mo's cognitive ability, and he couldn't talk about it, so he could only say: "Master, a pedantic celestial, since you say so, things will definitely develop like this in the future." However, since the naval battle with the Portuguese, Gao Jing's side has expanded the scope of reconnaissance, and there have been two naval confrontations with the Portuguese since then......
In addition, the Lao Dao family sent someone to send news that they had contacted the 'black prince' of Siam, and the black prince said that the Burmese thieves had colluded with the Portuguese to not only buy some weapons, but also hire some Portuguese mercenaries and even sailors......"
Speaking of this, Gao Pragmatic had a little headache, but after estimating a few points in his heart, he still said slowly: "The Portuguese side still has the energy to take care of these idle matters, but the time will not be too long...... Let's just say that the Ming Empire does not want the Kingdom of Portugal to support the Burmese rebellion, and if Portugal continues to go further and further down the wrong path, the Ming Empire will not only give the most resolute military strike, but also terminate all trade related to it. ”
"Yes." Gao Mo said again: "Although the progress of exploration on the Taiwan side is not fast, we have successfully landed in the three places designated by the lord and opened up coastal footholds, and built a total of seven villages, but the new immigrants are only more than 2,300 people, which is far less than the pirates and their families and slaves that were collected before, this situation is not easy to solve for a while, mainly because the coastal people of Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangdong would rather go to Annan than go to Taiwan......
At this time, the degree of development of Taiwan was very low, to be precise, it was equivalent to no development at all, and Annan, on the contrary, was China's territory or subject country "since ancient times", and the degree of development was much higher.
However, this situation still needs to be changed, and Taiwan has Taiwan's usefulness, not to mention that it can dry salt and grow sugarcane economically, and so on, and that it cannot give up its geographical location and high pragmatism, so the development work must be continued.
After thinking about it, everything is difficult at the beginning, why not use the old methods of the European colonizers? Gotta give it a try.
"An order was sent to Annan, and Annan added a new penal colony for criminals, and in the future, all the exiled prisoners in Annan were sent to Taiwan for reclamation."
Gao Mo wrote it down and said, "One last thing...... Miss Huang, the envoy of Haidong Town, arrived in Beijing as the deputy envoy of Annan, and after calculating the time, she may have been received by the emperor today. ”
Gao was stunned, sighed slightly, and asked, "Where does she live in Beijing?" Where is the host and guest of the Ministry of Rites arranged? ”
"Yes."
Gao pragmatic closed his eyes and said: "In my name, send someone to invite her, and she will live in my mansion during her stay in Beijing, in the city or in Baiyulou, she can go wherever she wants." ”
Gao Mo didn't ask any questions, nor did he persuade anything, and said simply: "Yes, master." ”
