Chapter 125: The highly pragmatic Kaiping City
The meeting between Gao Pragmatic and Liang Menglong was neither short nor long, for a total of an hour, and outsiders did not hear about it.
After a luncheon, Gao Pragmatic said goodbye to Liang Menglong and set off for Kaiping.
Kaiping has a high degree of pragmatism in the Ming Dynasty the largest "industrial base", originally often used to refer to the three major factories in Kaiping, in fact, the development so far, Kaiping does not stop at the three major factories?
Coal mines, iron mines, iron works, cement factories and two major arsenals, etc., all take Kaiping as the main factory, and Gao pragmatic even built a seaport at the mouth of the Luanhe River for this purpose, specifically for Kaiping's external transportation services. The huge scale of Kaiping's industry, in this era of the Ming Dynasty, can be said to be the best in the country, there is no semicolon.
Since Kaipingwei migrated under the joint manipulation of Gao Pragmatic and Qi Jiguang, after more than ten years of development and operation, today's Kaiping City can almost be said to have changed its surname to Gao.
According to a statistical report given to Gao Shishi by his cousin Gao Guoyan, who has been in charge of the financial audit of Jinghua Group, "seven out of ten" Kaiping City has been owned by Gao Shishi, and the local people sometimes even refer to Kaiping City as 'Gaojiacheng' or 'Longwen City'.
This point made Gao Pragmatic a little vigilant, although he himself came to Kaiping very rarely, but Kaiping was only about two hundred miles away from Beijing after all, and now Zhu Yijun didn't doubt him, what about later? Even, what about the emperor after Zhu Yijun?
So this time, Gao Pragmatic took advantage of the convenience of the road to come to Kaiping City to have a look, so as to determine whether he was diluting the Kaiping land controlled by his hands, or introducing other nobles or officials to set up factories in Kaiping.
Such worries are by no means superfluous, unless Gao Shishi can really be like Zhu Yingzhen and Zhang Yuangong, the two heartless grandfathers of the country, who have no heart and lungs, will be able to become civil officials in the future, then there is no need to worry - because once the prince is crowned, even if he is in power, it will basically end in his own generation, and it is unlikely that future generations will become officials after taking the title, oh...... To be exact, he will not become a civil servant through scientific examinations.
is like Wang Shouren's descendants, even if he is hereditary Xinjian Bo, he has also become the chief soldier of Caoyun.
Of course, the civil official said that the public is probably just those two buddies who said it in passing, which is just an auspicious word, and it is already very good to be a hereditary uncle like Wang Shouren.
When Gao Shishi, who was in a python robe and jade belt, came to Kaiping, Gao Rui had already brought a large group of people to wait outside the city.
Gao Rui is Gao Xiaozhuang, and Gao Pragmatic stays in Kaiping's number one henchman. As soon as Gao Rui greeted him, he understood why the locals called Kaiping "Gaojia City".
Because Kaiping was originally a guard station, it belonged to the military territory, when Kaiping Zhongtun Wei moved to defense, Kaiping City was not restructured - that is to say, Kaiping itself was not directly governed by officials, and its superior unit was Luanzhou, about fifty miles east of Kaiping.
In other words, the entire Kaiping City is managed by the Gao family, as long as the Luanzhou Governor does not interfere, this place is a highly pragmatic self-reserved land.
Groove ...... Dangerous.
Kaiping City is not an ordinary city, it is not only an industrial base, but also a place for the "training" of the Gao family, there must be at least 30,000 people of the Gao family every year to come here for rotation training, of which almost half of the horsemen. If we talk about things from this point of view alone, if someone in the DPRK wants to frame them, it can even be said that Gao Pragmatic has conspired to prepare an army of 30,000 two hundred miles east of Beijing, and can break into Yanjing at any time.
After Gao Pragmatic for a while, he was afraid that fortunately, the Admiral of Dongchang was Lao Tzu's ally, otherwise this matter might be in trouble at any time.
In fact, fortunately, it is still the early years of Wanli, and because of high pragmatism, and the early years of Wanli that have changed from the original history, the party struggle in the court is not particularly intense, and it has not reached the point of "either/or".
Because of this situation, the Heart School is not so filthy as to slander Gao Pragmatic with the intention of rebellion, after all, the idea that civil officials do not rebel still has to constantly strengthen the brainwashing of the emperor......
If you jump out and accuse Gao Pragmatic of intending to rebel, then this statement will be self-defeating, and once this statement is broken, the consequences may be subversive - oh, it turns out that civilian officials will also rebel, and it seems that the civil ministers and the military are unreliable, and the civilian officials are even more unreliable, or they should use honors and military ministers.
The officials of the world, no one dares to bear this consequence, if you do this, it is uncertain whether you can die high and pragmatic, but it is estimated that it will be easy to kill yourself - if you say this, you are a public enemy of civil servants, do you still have a little class position?
Gao Pragmatic didn't know this, he dared to do this before because of this, but now it seems that he still feels that his dominant position in Kaiping is too conspicuous, and it is indeed necessary to find someone to come and share it together, for example, the Maritime Trade Alliance can attract firepower, and they come, Gao Pragmatic does not have to worry about Kaiping City getting out of control.
After listening to the brief reports made by Gao Rui, Gao Yi and others on the development of Kaiping City, Gao Pragmatic revealed a little bit about diluting his control in Kaiping City.
Several of Gao Pragmatic's cronies seemed a little unhappy, but they also knew that Gao Pragmatic's worries were not unreasonable, Jinghua's control over Kaiping City was too prominent, which was indeed a very dangerous thing in the Ming Dynasty, and everyone reluctantly accepted this statement.
However, Gao Rui still said that he hoped that the nobles introduced could obey the management system that Jinghua had implemented in Kaiping for more than ten years, and not bring those small means in Beijing, otherwise, I am afraid that there will be some unexpected troubles and disputes.
Gao pragmatic agreed to this matter, and the management system of Kaiping City was originally made in accordance with the program he designed, and the actual "administrative body" was a "management committee", and he appointed Gao Rui and others as directors and deputy directors of the management committee.
But at the same time, there is also a "supervisory committee", the members of this committee are more interesting, they are "publicly elected", and the members of the management committee are not allowed to run for election, but are elected by the workers of each factory and mine, and they are not responsible for management in normal times, but only for supervision.
The Supervisory Committee has the power to supervise and report, supervision does not need to explain, reporting is to report to Gao Mo and Gao Guoyan, if they do not accept or procrastinate, they can even report directly to Gao Pragmatic himself, and at the same time, Gao Pragmatic will also call them to report to themselves from time to time on supervision.
The reason why Kaiping City has developed smoothly and there have been no major internal cases should have played a great role.
After the summoning was over, Gao Pragmatic took people out of the city and went to the Jiading camp outside the city to visit Ma Fang and Liu Xian, two veterans. I want to talk about "Daming Yuanfu" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
