Fortunately, the toasts in western Guizhou were going to come to Nanning Mansion to receive the reward, and Gao Pragmatic simply issued a license to the toasts in southern Guinan, so that they could all come to Nanning to hold a conference and discuss the plan to make a fortune.

In addition to Tusi, Gao Pragmatic also wrote to Guilin, informing Zhang Ren of this matter, and by the way, he attached a private letter to ask how his Gu poison problem was handled.

At the same time, Gao Pragmatic also discussed with Zhang Ren in a private letter about the taxation of Jinghua industries in various parts of Qinzhou - Gao Pragmatic theoretically has to pay very little tax, only the point set by Gao Gong, but he is ready to pay an extra fee on this basis to "buy peace".

Although the pre-occupation law is obvious, it is a system that has been established in the Hongwu Dynasty, but the "land" mentioned in the pre-occupation law is actually mainly the "field" that has been tacitly acquiesced by the Chinese dynasties.

This was a missing item in the Ming legal system, so in order to ensure that there were no accidents, he planned to have Zhang Ren set up a system in the name of the governor of Guangxi, and Gao Shishi would rather pay some taxes than ensure that the port of Qinzhou was clearly owned by his Jinghua in the legal sense.

In fact, before the advent of a truly rule-of-law society, many systems of local administration were formulated by local officials according to local conditions, and once they were effective, they would become traditional.

Gao Pragmatic actually has this power himself, but he is not good at making the decision to "sell" Qinzhou Port and the nearby land to himself, after all, it is an act that may become a handle in the hands of political enemies in the future, so he has to find Zhang Ren to come out and shoot this board, or carry this pot.

At the same time, in order to "become a tradition to be effective", he intends to spend a small amount of money, which is equivalent to paying a tax.

The "tax rate" is certainly very low, needless to say. The port area of Qinzhou Port can't find a few hairs now, for the local area, isn't it good to take a few or few? Even if you only receive one tael of silver a year for an acre of land, that's money.

Gao Pragmatic circled hundreds of acres of land, Daming 100 acres for one hectare, if Gao Pragmatic won tens of thousands of acres of fertile land with this point, of course it would cause controversy, but now this is just tens of thousands of acres of wasteland, and it is useless for the local government.

However, in this large area of wasteland, you can still collect a few hundred taels of silver every year, so why not?

You must know that there is a Siming Mansion, and you only pay this amount of money in a year. After all, this is Guangxi, not Suzhou and Hangzhou, otherwise a prefecture in Suzhou is equivalent to the annual income of a province in Guangxi, and there is no chaos among people, how to compare?

Of course, Guangxi is very satisfied with the sale of wasteland and can continue to generate income, if it is not for the high pragmatism as long as the port is nearby, I am afraid that they will be eager to directly package and sell the entire Qinzhou, anyway, the population of Qinzhou has continued to decline for many years, and now there are tens of thousands of people left, and they can't collect a few taxes at all, and from a financial point of view, it is really not as cost-effective as selling land.

In fact, Guangxi pays more attention to the Lianzhou Prefecture, that is, near Beihai City in later generations, because there is a salt field there, which can share the salt profits, as for pearl diving or something, although it sounds like it is very powerful, in fact, the income is also average.

In less than ten days, Zhang Ren's urgent reply letter was sent to Nanning. For these things proposed by Gao Pragmatic, Zhang Ren agreed, and said that he had long heard of Gao Pragmatic's name of turning stones into gold, and Zhang Ren welcomed Gao Zhizhi's willingness to settle Jinghua's subordinate industries in Guangxi, especially for his willingness to leave part of the income to share profits in Guangxi, and he was very grateful.

Gao pragmatic looked at this letter, and couldn't help scratching his head a little, and said that he had underestimated Zhang Ren before, and he couldn't imagine that he still had the advanced idea of "attracting investment"?

However, this is actually his own thinking too much, Zhang Ren's psychology is actually exactly the same as what he said in his letter, he values only the two items of high pragmatism and profit sharing, and does not expand this idea to the level of attracting investment.

In other words, because this thing is to be done in a pragmatic way, he thinks it is wonderful and has a drama, if he is replaced by someone else, it is estimated that he may lack interest.

After finishing the matter, Zhang Ren mentioned his Gu poison problem again, and through communicating with Ah Li girl in Luoyu Village, the Gu poison in his body has been confirmed, and he said that it is called Ah Mina Gu...... Well, the name doesn't matter, the important thing is that this Gu can be cured.

It's just that Miss Ah Li said that since he didn't solve the Gu as soon as possible after being hit by the Gu, even if he is cured now, he will inevitably have some sequelae in the future.

It is mainly a problem of physical weakness, and in the future, we should try to ensure that there is no strenuous exercise and overwork, and rest more if we can rest, as long as we feel dizzy and weak, we must rest immediately.

Gao Pragmatic thinks that this is good news, at least pick up a life, right? As for resting more or something, it is necessary to see how hard he will work before he feels tired.

Zhang Ren also thanked Gao Pragmatic in his letter, after all, Gao Pragmatic himself had no obligation to save him, but as a result, even on the way to his "captivity", Gao Pragmatic did not forget to worry about him, and it would be too much to say without thanks.

Gao pragmatic himself is also very happy, although he has experienced a lot of things after coming to Guangxi, but looking back, on the whole, it is relatively smooth, at least from the point of view of the results, it is relatively smooth.

Now, all that remains is to take Annan.

Of course, before taking Annan, you must first unite the two factions of Guixi and Guinan Tusi under your own banner and tie them up with interests, so as to ensure that there is no trouble.

The overall situation is still good now, at least the owners of the Cen and Huang families can basically guarantee that they can listen to Gao and pragmatic greetings, and the Cen and Huang families are the leaders of the toasts in these two places, as long as the two of them move, it is difficult for the other toasts to hold on.

This is like Lingyun City quelling the rebellion, the four Cen clan toasts showed their support, and the other toasts followed suit, anyway, the sky fell and there was a high top.

The reason why Gao Pragmatic deliberately showed his "arbitrariness" in the process of counterinsurgency twice, even some did not conform to his previous consistent style, was actually to strengthen his image of "tall" in the minds of the toasts - this is like the civil officials have to suppress the military attaches from etiquette and other aspects when they have something to do, to put it bluntly, they continue to strengthen the thinking of "I am better than you", so that the military attaches become accustomed to nature, and later they subconsciously feel that they really can't compete with the civilian officials. Otherwise, you will definitely die an ugly death.

In this way, the civil servants succeeded. In the same way, Gao Pragmatic treats the toasts in this way, and he can also be successful.

Of course, Gao Pragmatism does not have hundreds of years to strengthen this kind of thinking, so he must also have both soft and hard preparations.

Needless to say, the "cake" that will be put out at the Nanning Conference is the sugar-coated cannonball that has been prepared for a long time: turning stones into gold and seeking truth will take them to make a lot of money together, and whoever is more obedient and willing to spend money will distribute the more cakes.

The hard hand is actually divided into two, one of which is the identity of the imperial history, which is the foundation of his ability to justifiably suppress the toasts; The second is the 5,000-Jiading Escort Regiment, which is about to complete its reorganization and adaptation training.

In terms of numbers, Gao Shishi's 5,000 people are not much, at least he estimates that if he really wants to send troops at that time, Huang Zhiting and Cen Ling alone, each family will have to mobilize almost tens of thousands of wolf soldiers.

Then sub-strong Tusi like Cen Clan's Tianzhou and Zhen'an Mansion, Huang Clan's Jiangzhou and Xiangwuzhou had to have troops ranging from three to five thousand.

But the 5,000 people of Gao Pragmatic are not 5,000 ordinary officers and soldiers, but all family members, which is very amazing.

At the peak of Li Chengliang's history, he had nearly 9,000 families, and most of them were elite cavalrymen, and this strength made him the de facto king of Liaodong, so that Nurhachi and others did not dare to move at all. If it weren't for the fact that he lost a lot of money in North Korea later, and Li Rusong, the most capable of fighting in the second generation of the Li family, died unexpectedly in battle, Nurhachi might not have had a chance to rise at all.

However, Gao Pragmatic took out 5,000 jiading at once this time, and even pulled it all the way from near Gyeonggi to Guangxi, and the energy contained in it alone, whether it was military or financial resources, was enough for the toasts in western and southern Guizhou to weigh it carefully.

5,000 families, it's hard to say whether 5,000 families can be made up of 50,000 officers and soldiers, and they have all seen these toasts now, so it's really not the level of making up the numbers.

Although they didn't get a fight when they were in Siming Prefecture, they did appear in Lingyun City.

At that time, although the Tusi did not see it with their own eyes, but after all, with a force of less than 300 people, two rows of guns broke down the Huangma wolf soldiers who were gathered to take down the state government, and killed Huangma's second brother on the spot.

Therefore, having a family member of this level of 5,000 should be enough to form a certain deterrent, at least much more powerful than the short patrol.

Besides, when there were only 300 Jiading by their side before, of course they were not equipped with any artillery, but since they concentrated 5,000 Jiading, it would be impossible to say that there was no artillery, and Jinghua would produce artillery itself!

And Gao Pragmatism is a cautious character, especially for the military aspects that he is not very good at, he would rather over-prepare, rather than play anything to attack the strong with weakness, so the firepower he prepared was originally in an over-standard state, and the ammunition prepared and the weapons prepared for possible battle damage were as high as seventy.

For example, in addition to the one for the Longqing II musket alone, he also prepared an additional 3,500 guns, which are now on their way to Qinzhou. Other supplies are basically prepared in a ratio of 5 to 70 percent, and ammunition is even more prepared.

In short, he would rather be better prepared and more adequate, and he was not going to risk his own family. It is better to rely on hard power than to put hope in situations such as the other party's mistakes and tricks that cannot be ensured.

No money is a play style without money, money is a rich style of play, Gao pragmatic is not very confident that he can train a Prussian-like iron army, but at least in the current period, he can use money to pile up a World War II American army!
