What can Kaiping do? Gao Pragmatism was a bit of a surprise.

After asking, he realized that there seemed to be something really wrong with Kaiping, and Gao Guoyan told him that their people had found traces of Jinyiwei in Kaiping.

It was normal for Jingshi and Jiubian to find Jinyiwei, because Jinyiwei was not only responsible for monitoring the hundred officials, but also responsible for foreign intelligence investigations, and they had their own hidden stakes in the left and right wings of Mongolia, the Jurchen tribes, and even North Korea. And Kaiping, as a necessary place to go to Shanhaiguan, has the traces of Jinyiwei haunting, which is completely reasonable.

But the situation reported by Gao Guoyan is different from others: first, the Jinyi Wei who was discovered by the Gao family did not wear the iconic flying fish suit, but dressed in plain clothes; secondly, they did not pass through Kaiping, but stayed in Kaiping to conduct secret investigations and visits; In the end, the Gao family also found that these suspected Jinyiwei spies were quietly wandering around several mining areas that Gao Shishi had been developing on a small scale.

Gao Guoyan therefore believes that Jinyiwei may be eyeing Gao's pragmatic mining plan.

Gao pragmatic listened but didn't understand a little, he frowned and said to Gao Guoyan: "Jinyiwei investigated me for opening a mine?" It doesn't make sense, three months ago, Qi Nantang's recital was approved by the imperial court, and Kaiping Zhongtunwei was ordered to move more than eighty miles to the northeast as a whole, and it was planned to be completed in three years. During these three years, I had to provide them with up to nearly 100,000 taels of silver every year for their migration, which was also a very good deal for the imperial court...... After all, there are not many good fields here in Kaiping, and who wants this kind of rotten land except for me who wants it? Check me? What do I have to look up? ”

"Well...... Gao Guoyan coughed dryly and said, "There is something I don't know if you have ever received the news." ”

"What's the matter?" Gao Pragmatic frowned, chuckling in his heart.

"Although the vast majority of people in the vicinity of Kaiping are military households, it does not mean that there are no ordinary households at all." Gao Guoyan was a little hesitant, rubbed his nose, and explained: "Some time ago, Deputy Wu moved to the right to the governor of Xuanfu, and Yongping Bingbeidao was replaced. ”

"So what?" Gao Shishi's face was a little displeased: "Although my matter was decided on Wu Dui's appointment, but if it is decided, it is decided, this is the resolution of the imperial court, even if the deputy envoy of Yongping military reserve is replaced, will he still overturn the proposal?" ”

"It can't be said that the overthrow of the imperial court's decision is mainly ...... With Deputy Envoy Wu in the past, it was easier to handle the relocation of those households, and we didn't have to come forward at all, and the military garrison yamen would naturally send someone to notify and arrange for them to move. Gao Guoyan said this, sighed, and said: "But after Deputy Envoy Wu left, this new Deputy Envoy Chen was not very willing to take care of us, not only did he not take care of us, but he also procrastinated, delayed, and hindered, our side is planned, and delaying time is equivalent to wasting money!" We had no choice but to send someone to negotiate with those households. ”

Gao pragmatic had an ominous premonition in his heart, and his eyes widened and said, "Then what?" Do you carry out forced demolitions? ”

"Demolition? What do you mean? Gao Guoyan obviously hadn't heard of this new term.

"It's just that people refuse to move, and as a result, you forcibly demolish their houses."

"No, no!" Gao Guoyan hurriedly waved his hand: "How could I do this?" I just sent someone to tell them that after Kaipingwei moved as a whole, the land was allocated to these households at the new site, and their new houses were newly built for them, so that they could clean up as soon as possible. ”

Gao pragmatic was a little unconvinced, looked at Gao Guoyan carefully, and asked, "That's it?" ”

"Uh...... Our people, that's all. Gao Guoyan coughed and added: "But the people of Kaipingwei are not as easy to talk as we are, especially the Xue Cheng Xue Commander who personally led people to ...... Go and ask those people who are struggling to leave quickly. ”

Gao Shishi's face changed, and he asked, "What did Xue Cheng do?" Don't tell me anything to urge people to relocate - is he causing trouble? ”

Gao Guoyan sighed and said with a wry smile: "Why are you always so smart? ”

Gao Shishi's face suddenly turned ugly, and he asked in a deep voice, "What did he do?" Did you lose your life? ”

"There were no deaths, but ...... Wounded a few. Gao Guoyan looked helpless and spread his hands: "This guy burned a small settlement that was the most uncooperative, and as a result, he burned four and crippled one. ”

"Rubbish!" Gao pragmatic said angrily: "There is not enough success, but there are more failures!" ”

Gao Guoyan was stunned for a moment, and hesitated: "The matter is a little too much, but he did it so as not to delay the progress......

"That can't be done!" Gao pragmatic accentuated his tone: "This is arson!" ”

Gao Guoyan was still confused: "What's wrong with arson?" ”

"The crime of arson goes up for ten years...... Belch? Gao pragmatic said, he was stunned for a while, and said in his heart: no, this is Daming, there is no such thing as endangering public safety.

From the perspective of the Great Ming Law alone, Xue Cheng was originally implementing the decisions of the imperial court at that time, even if the means were a little harsh, at most he would be punished for one year. Not to mention that there are no dead people, even if he accidentally burns one or two, he Xue Commander is amazing, that is, he will be punished with "Xue Chengguan is idle", and then suspended for three or five months to reflect, and he did not continue to return to office.

But isn't this method just "some" cruel?

Gao Pragmatic's rule of law thinking in his previous life came out, and the more he thought about it, the more unhappy he felt, and he couldn't help but say: "Why do you have to use such means? Can't you reason with them? No matter how bad it is, it's always okay to add money, right? ”

"It's definitely not okay to add money!" Gao Guoyan's eyes widened: "It doesn't matter if you add some money to them, but if you can add it to them, what if others also add it?" Do you want to add it all again? That's not how the wealth boy is! Besides, the relocation was a decision of the imperial court, and the specific compensation for the relocation was calculated by the military garrison yamen, and it was the number set by Deputy Envoy Wu at that time. If you add money to these people now, it is tantamount to saying that there is a problem with the relocation fee set by Deputy Envoy Wu at the beginning, and in the future, Deputy Envoy Wu will know about it, how will you explain it to him? ”

"It's easier to explain to one person than to so many people, not to mention that Wu Junze is my senior brother, how much trouble can I explain to him?" Gao Pragmatic looked distressed, let out a breath of turbidity, waved his hand, put this question aside first, and asked, "What are the people from Jinyiwei coming to investigate?" Even if Xue Cheng burned other people's houses and burned people, but after all, he did it, why did Jinyiwei come to check my property? ”

Gao Pragmatic didn't understand this: the commander of the guard station acted improperly, and naturally there was a local military reserve to manage it, and if the military preparation road didn't matter, there was also a patrol according to the imperial history to manage, which was the right reason - no matter who took care of it, it had nothing to do with Jinyiwei, what kind of excitement did Jinyiwei come to make around?
