Chapter 713: Enrong
Seal the Langshan and coastal defenses, control the Western military and government, expand the guards, and negotiate with the countries.
The message of this decree is truly astonishing.
Because before this, many people's judgment is that as Langshan becomes more and more prosperous, and the Hao family's control over Jiaozhi is getting deeper and deeper, the imperial court will definitely impose some clamps on the Hao family, which is a matter of course.
Therefore, Mo said that it is all the people of Langshan, that is, Hao Zheng, and he has been prepared, naturally, the advantages of the Hao family are not nothing, on the one hand, the favor of the Son of Heaven to the Hao family is still there, as long as there is no excessive action, it is probably just some measures that do not hurt, and after all, it is too far away from the center of power, far less than the feudal kings scattered in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty when Jianwen, from Beiping, Ningcheng, and then to Kaifeng and Jingzhou, the interior of the Ming Dynasty is full of feudal towns, and what is more terrifying is that They actually have tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the Hao family's domain is in this uncivilized place after all, after all, it is a barren land, and it is impossible to raise military horses after all, so with this, even if the imperial court cuts the domain, it is probably only to prohibit the continued expansion of the Hao family and cut off the Hao family's infiltrated siblings, and the existing interests can definitely be preserved.
But now, the will of the imperial court to reduce the feudal domain did not come, and it actually did the opposite, and actually added grace and glory to control the Western military and government, which means that the Hao family can manage the army and the people in Dingnan and Jiaozhi. This is a living earth emperor who can do almost anything he wants, as long as he does not rebel. Everything is justified. As for the expansion of the guards, it is to ensure the Hao family's control of Dingnan and Jiaozhi, the Hao family now only has two guards and horses, one Langshan guard, one Shenji guard, Langshan guard 5,000 people, Shenji guard 2,000 people. There is no full number, these 7,000 soldiers and horses, although they are all real elites. It is enough to run rampant in the West, but after all, there is a shortage of manpower, and although the siege of the city is good, it is necessary to ensure the defense of these many military towns. But it is inevitably a little tight. Originally, Hao Zheng had a plan to expand the second guard, all of which were full of 7,500 people, but the full number of guards was a big taboo, and there was an unwritten rule in the Ming Dynasty, and the establishment of the imperial court for the protection of the domain was 7,500 people, but if you were really full. It can't help but lead people to think that you have bad intentions. Hence the name Seven Thousand Five. The vast majority of vassal kings have a five-thousand, three-two-thousand, and there is a vassal king in Guangxi, who is really poor, and he is only eight hundred.
Now, however, the situation has changed.
In this era, the so-called exchanges between countries, in fact, have always been a trouble for the imperial court, for no other reason, that is, the imperial court does not get any return at all, and the customs of various countries are different, some are still very courteous, and some are very polite, and some are every once in a while to provoke right and wrong. What the imperial court wants is nothing more than face, so that these countries will call themselves vassals, obediently come to Jinling on time to report, and pay tribute, that is.
This is tantamount to giving Langshan the right of the fox to fake the tiger, of course, the Hao family is in the West, it is originally a tiger, and the tiger will eat people.
After Hao Zheng received the will, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and under the ecstasy, he naturally hurriedly greeted the angel, and had to invite him to sit in and wash the dust.
The Hao family's doormen and staff were also full of joy, and these doormen and staff members numbered hundreds, each with their own strengths, some of whom spoke Western Chinese and were good at dealing with various countries. Some of them are Chen Xue's masters, who made suggestions for Chen Xue's expansion and the construction of the school, and some are proficient in civil engineering, and the planning of Lang Son and even the entire Cochin is from these people; There are also people who are well versed in the way of officialdom, and have a unique understanding of the personnel appointment of the imperial court and the promotion of some important figures. These people have their own strengths, but they are all important talents listed by the Hao family, and they have always been valued by Hao Zheng for the work of inspecting the place and formulating solutions to many problems, which is also the team he intends to leave to Hao Fenglou in the future.
These people are the core of the real Jiaozhi, and after repeated experiences, they all have a certain ability to take charge of themselves.
In fact, they have already discussed with Hao Zheng, thinking that the imperial court is very likely to cut the feudal domain, so they have also negotiated a response plan and some alternative plans to ensure that the maximum extent possible, in the turmoil of the government, as much as possible to reduce the losses of the Hao family, and unexpectedly, things are completely opposite, Hao Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, they couldn't help but celebrate, and the next thing is to reformulate many regulations.
In order to expand the armament, the Western countries must also send personnel there, and even change some means of negotiation, the process of infiltration and control in Siam must be accelerated, with the support of the imperial court, and some railways in Dingnan Province can also be built in advance.
One qiē, all changed.
This is a welcome change, because the Hao family can be more justifiable, and at the same time, they can confidently seek more benefits.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Of course, this decree affected more than just a Hao family, the whole Lang Son was close to madness at this time, the first thing it brought was the rise of various prices, and then, the major commercial houses also began to expand their production plans, and the manpower on the market became more scarce, and the wage also increased a lot.
It is also ridiculous to say that industrial production is inevitably affected by the policy, to put it more clearly, that is, production is subject to the Hao family, any news of the Hao family, may fluctuate in the market, such as the production of steel, the construction of the railway by the Hao family, immediately brought great benefits to the market, many firms began to expand production, because in their expectations, in the future, with the beginning of large-scale construction of the railway, there will be a large number of steel purchases, in the future, steel will be in a state of shortage, Then expanding production is naturally a favorable choice.
However, the expansion of production, but there must also be room for it, although the benefits brought by the railway are great, but everyone clearly understands that Langshan and even Jiaozhi today, although from the Hao family, rather than so, more thoroughly, that is, from the imperial court, the attitude of the imperial court towards the Hao family, is an extremely important issue, if one day, the imperial court is suspicious of the Hao family, adopt a high-pressure situation, then the expansion of production, it is possible to smash all in the hands, so the merchants have this worry, often take some prudent means, There was some surplus money left in his hand, in order to prevent the imperial court from weakening Lang Son in some way, and he had enough silver in his hand to be able to deal with it.
And now, there is no such worry, in the market, in fact, the most important thing is not capital, not necessarily the market, but confidence, when there is confidence, there are good expectations for the future, then everyone dares to take out their own net worth, to use money to make money, money into workshops, it is necessary to recruit more people, people have salaries, in the production at the same time, there will also be consumption, consumption generation, the market is more prosperous, and have to produce new production, and new consumption methods.
At the same time, the recruitment of horses for the Two Guards began after January.
The two new guards are Jiaozhou Wei and Dacheng Wei, each recruiting 5,000 people, is 10,000 strong, the recruitment of the list has been posted everywhere, the young and strong who signed up are enthusiastic, originally everyone said that good men are not soldiers, but here, but this is not the case at all, the soldiers of this era, it is indeed shabby, the usual guards, to put it bluntly, is a group of farmers, every day for the official master to farm and plough the land, once something happens, with the lethality of that group of farmers, I am afraid that in the face of bandits, there are also heavy casualties.
But the guards of the Hao family are different, they usually practice, they have excellent food for three meals a day, and the salaries are naturally needless to say, there are also them, and there are Lang Shan Wei and Shen Ji Wei who have won all battles first, even if they are injured in the future, they will also have support, not to mention, in the future, they will be relieved and returned to the field, and the major businesses are also willing to hire first, so applicants are eager to hire them.
After the selection of the two guards, they were quickly set up, and they quickly began to compile and practice, and most of the military attachés and even the lowest-level small flags were drawn from the original Lang Shan Wei and Shen Ji Wei, with these backbones, of course, the training was handy, but it did not bother others to worry about it.
At the beginning of spring, Hao Zheng still sits in the hall every day, even after a few months, his joy at the will has not dissipated, but he also knows that there are still many things to do next, and at this moment, there are really many things to deal with.
And a newspaper also fell on his desk.
Regarding this report, Hao Zheng's attitude has become extremely cautious.
