In fact, Gao Pragmatic didn't really want to talk to Zhu Yijun about this issue, especially at this point in time.

When the Duke of Yongning wanted to see him, it must be impossible to just apologize for the incident that tricked him more than a year ago, Gao Pragmatic estimated that she should have raised this request with Zhu Yijun out of the intention of "seeing him for the last time".

Although Zhu Yijun and Princess Yongning both knew that there could be nothing between themselves and the princess, today's meeting was largely just for the princess to cut off the front edge - if there was one.

However, at this time, Gao Pragmatic felt that he was still not suitable to talk to Zhu Yijun about the matter between himself and Huang Zhiting, after all, the princess was his own sister, in case Zhu Yijun was not happy to hear it, wouldn't he be unlucky in the end?

"In the minister's view, the views of the people of the world on the family are too old, and many of them are not approved by the ministers." Gao pragmatic said: "For example, in the middle, as long as someone is on the list of dragons and tigers, he is the world's highest-ranking family and the envy of the world." However, if a jinshi does not have the ability to govern the country, and after he becomes an official, he only knows that he is a fly camp and a dog, and uses power for personal gain, how can such a person be considered a noble person? ”

Zhu Yijun was a little surprised: "Then how can you be considered a noble family?" A reward for the world? ”

"A man's life should be spent in such a way that when he looks back, he will not regret that he wasted his time, nor will he be ashamed of his inaction, but when he is dying, he will be able to say with a clear conscience: I have given everything I have to my country and my people."

Gao pragmatic said: "Therefore, who can be regarded as a noble person depends on where he uses his abilities and talents, whether it is for the country, the people, or just for himself."

For example, if a beggar on the street encounters a Tatar attack on the city one day, he is angry and resists, and dies in battle because of the captivity, this person is a hero, he is Gaodi! Even when the leader of the list passed by his grave, he should get off the sedan chair and bow down.

For example, if there is a person, such as a minister, but relying on the shadow of his ancestors, bullying men and women, and doing all kinds of evil, no matter how heroic the ancestors are, they are just a giant beetle, and people hate ghosts. If he is a little worse, he actually colludes with Tartars, bandits, and betrays Daming and thousands of compatriots, then it will be even more angry with heaven and earth, and everyone will be punished! ”

"Good! You can say that again! Zhu Yijun praised loudly: "If everyone is in such a state of mind as pragmatic as you, why not be happy in this world!" ”

Zhu Yijun was full of emotion and said excitedly: "Pragmatism, with your background, it is really surprising that you can have such an idea, but this also makes me understand your ambition even more." I now know that you are not the one who is the 'nephew of Gao Wenzhenggong', but you want to be this hero yourself, and you hope that your 'noble family' will not come from the shadow of your ancestors, but from yourself. ”

Gao Pragmatic didn't dwell on this issue, but changed the topic a little and said: "Your Majesty, there is another point you don't want to ignore - the minister's recognition of the noble family is not just how many merits this person has made, but whether he is dedicated to it. The greater the ability of a person, the greater the responsibility.

It's like...... For example, when the flood in Henan, the local celebrities and gentry donated money for disaster relief, and the ordinary squires donated ten taels or eight taels, which was also a thought, and it cannot be said that they were not devoted. But if the minister only donated ten taels or eight taels, it would be a joke, because the minister's ability is obviously more than that. ”

"Haha, yes, I know what you mean." Zhu Yijun is not stupid in the end, he has already reacted, and said with a smile: "Although Huang Zhiting is just a toast, judging from her merits in this battle to pacify Annan, she should indeed be regarded as doing her best, huh...... It's very much in line with your view of 'high doors and noble people'. ”

"But ......" Zhu Yijun frowned slightly: "The reward for this incident has passed, but I don't want to take it out again and reward it again." ”

Gao pragmatic waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is not asking for a reward for her, if you say that you want to reward, if Huang Zhiting wants to reward, Cen Ling and others will also be rewarded...... How can that make sense? If they continue to do their best as they did this time in the future, and make new contributions when the time comes, it will not be too late for the emperor to reward them generously. ”

Zhu Yijun said happily: "Yes, what you said makes sense. Then he paused, and then said: "If you just said, then this Huang ...... Well, what kind of official is she now? ”

"Oh, the emperor asked about this, and the minister was about to tell him." Gao Shishi's face suddenly became a little serious.

Zhu Yijun beckoned and said, "Say while walking." Then he walked forward again.

Gao pragmatic followed and said: "The matter of the relocation of the Tusi in Guangxi has been going on, and in the past few months, nearly half of the local people under the rule of the Cen and Huang families have been transferred to Annan. Zhang Futai also mentioned in his private letter to his ministers that the Han population in Guangxi is not very large, and even if there is, they are not willing to migrate casually......"

Zhu Yijun nodded: "This is a matter of course, it is human nature that it is difficult to leave the homeland...... However, how does Zhang Ren plan to solve it? ”

"What Zhang Gong means is that it is difficult to achieve results in Guangxi alone, and the imperial court must have other measures."

Zhu Yijun frowned and said, "The imperial court? Well...... The imperial court should have taken some measures, but where did the imperial court give him the migration of people? Guangdong may have it, but the people of Guangdong are probably not willing to go to Guangxi, right? Besides, if the population of Guangdong is moved to Guangxi, the magistrates in Guangdong are only afraid and unhappy, and when the time comes, the two sides will pass the buck, and it will be difficult for the imperial court to deal with it. ”

Gao pragmatic said: "From last year to this year, there are two disasters in Daming that are more serious, one is the flood in eastern Liaodong, which has little to do with Guangxi for the time being. The other is that the flood disaster in the south of the Yangtze River and the wind disaster occurred at the same time, and I heard that the Nanzhili side has reported to the imperial court several times, and the refugees in the Jiangnan area are no less than two or three million ...... including Zhejiang."

"Do you want to move these victims to Guangxi?" Zhu Yijun frowned: "I'm afraid this is not easy to do, right?" Thousands of miles away, how much food does it cost to migrate like this? It's not that I refuse to open Taicang, but I'm afraid that the grain in Taicang may not be enough, and the grain in Taicang is related to the stability of Nanjing and Suzhou. ”

Gao pragmatically said: "It is not necessary to take the land route, this matter has an idea: the minister's Jinghua Group is responsible for transporting the refugees from Jiangnan to Qinzhou Port by sea, and then the Guangxi side will resettle them to various places in western and southern Guizhou to make up for the shortage of Tusi people." ”

Zhu Yijun thought about it and found that there were at least two problems in this plan that were not clear enough, so he asked: "Let's not talk about whether Jinghua Group can have such capacity, let's just say that there is, so what about the freight?" This matter is a state affair, I can't let you post your own money to do this loss-making transaction, how much does it cost Jinghua to do this, you have to give me a number. ”

Then he added, "Also, although I don't know the cost of sea transportation, these refugees still need to eat at sea anyway, right?" Where does the food come from, and if you still need to store food in Taicang, then the question will turn back. ”

Speaking of this, he remembered one more thing and said, "Oh yes, and what will they do after they arrive in Qinzhou?" These are all refugees, there must not be much money left, what will they eat after arriving in Qinzhou? I'm afraid Guangxi can't support the food of these two or three million people, right? ”

These two or three million refugees are scorched down even in the Jiangnan region, which is so rich that it has entered the embryonic state of capitalism, let alone Guangxi?

But Gao Shishi's face was calm, and he said calmly: "It's easy to do, let them eat Annan's grain." ”

Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment, and hesitated: "What do you mean by this?" Let the Annan Metropolitan Secretary take food to help these people? This one...... It won't provoke Annan's change, right? ”

Taking down Annan is now a great achievement for his Wanli Emperor, but there can be no repetition, so Zhu Yijun is a little nervous.

Gao pragmatically said: "The minister has such a plan: let the two major toasts of Cen and Huang go to the Annan Metropolitan Department to discuss the matter of grain, and then the imperial court will take some immigrants to find the two major toasts of Cen and Huang in exchange for food." ”

Zhu Yijun was stunned: "Take immigrants for food? What is the use of these two toasts to emigrate? He didn't think that giving these immigrants to Cen Huang and the two Tusi was "selling", because for him, the emperor, the Tusi was also his courtiers, and these immigrants were only transferred from the place of Liuguan to the place of Tusi governance, but they were still the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Gao pragmatically said: "The people of Jiangnan have always been good at farming, and although the fields in the south of the Yangtze River are not the most fertile in the world, they rank first in the country in terms of high yield per mu. Your Majesty, these people are in the south of the Yangtze River, and now they have no land and no land, and they have become a hidden danger affecting stability, but if they go to Guangxi and Annam, their farming technology is the most scarce in the local area. ”

He paused slightly, and said: "Guangxi and don't talk about it first, let's just talk about Annan, although that place is hot and full of mosquitoes and miasma, but in fact, the soil is quite good, as long as the cultivation is good, after a few years, maybe not inferior to Jiangnan, Cen Huang and Huang Tusi If they have foresight, they should know that these homeless people are really strange to live in." If they don't have that vision...... Well, the minister can write to them and point them out. ”

Zhu Yijun doesn't think that Gao Pragmatic said that he went to believe in "guidance" is a bragging, in his opinion, how can Gao Pragmatic's level be comparable to that of the toasts? It is a blessing for them to be able to guide them.

He pondered: "In other words, it is a bad thing for these people to stay in Jiangnan, and it will be a good thing to send them to Guangxi and Annan; They are plague gods in the south of the Yangtze River, and the local people are eager to send them away as soon as possible, but if they can go to Guangxi and Annam, then the two places are very welcome? ”

"Your Majesty, that's the truth."

Zhu Yijun frowned and thought about it, in fact, for him, the development of Guangxi is not very important, and the development of Annan is not important at all, but it is very important to maintain the stability of the Jiangnan region - there is the money warehouse of the Ming Dynasty.

"After you go back, calculate what to do with the cost, how much money the court needs to spend in the end, what things to do at the local level, and whether you have the ability to do it well."

High pragmatism promises.

At this time, the war situation is coming.
