Henan Political Envoy Division, Weihui Mansion, Huojia County. The pragmatic team of horses is to stay here for a while.

This is Gao Pragmatic's itinerary set in time, because the matter of escorting Gao Gong's coffin back to his hometown must not be delayed, and returning to Xinzheng from the south of Beijing will pass through Wei Hui, if he does not personally inspect his own industry, by the way, he will meet with Wei Hui and the officials and gentry of neighboring prefectures and counties, and pull feelings, which is simply a waste for Pragmatic.

To do business, you have to have the attitude of doing business, and if you don't make it, you will lose money. The same is true of Shilin Yangwang, when he arrives in a place, he does not exchange feelings with the officials and gentry in that place, and he cannot let them get close to him, which is equivalent to a loss. Therefore, Gao Pragmatic and his entourage deliberately adjusted their itinerary, stayed in Huojia County that night, had a meal with Wei Hui and the officials and gentry of nearby prefectures and counties, bragged about cattle for a while, and everyone praised each other

Of course, the process of this kind of face project is very easy to walk, and Gao Pragmatism has long been familiar with it, and the specific details do not need to be said. Today he had to stay in Taka mainly because he wanted to meet a person, to be precise, the plenipotentiary of this person.

There are still people in Henan who put up a stand in front of Gao Shipra, and send a representative to come without coming to see him in person?

There really is, but it's not for a show, but you can't come in person.

Because what Gao pragmatic wants to see is the people of King Zheng's Mansion and the plenipotentiary representative of King Zheng Zhu Houhan. King Zheng was a vassal king, and of course he was not allowed to leave his fiefdom at will.

Contemporary Zheng Wang Zhu Houhan is a good person, he has at least one thing is that he is highly pragmatic and quite admired Emperor Shizong Jiajing was addicted to Taoism, Zheng Wang Zhu Houhan knew that Jiajing was a person who did not listen to persuasion at all, and still insisted on personally going to the court, persuading Emperor Jiajing to focus on national affairs and ancestral inheritance, not to indulge in cultivation, let alone take pills indiscriminately in order to seek longevity.

Emperor Jiajing was very decisive, and immediately ordered Zhu Houhan to be demoted to a concubine, a Zongren mansion, and imprisoned within the high walls. Zhu Houhan's eldest son, Zhu Zaiyu, was also unlucky, was removed from the status of a prince, and was demoted to a concubine.

It was not until Mu Zong Longqing succeeded to the throne that this unjust prison was rehabilitated and the status of King Zheng and King Zheng's son was restored.

After Wei Hui staged the big drama of "Scattered Wealth Boy" and "Ten Thousand Families Born Buddha", he set up an industry near Huojia County in Weihui Prefecture and Xiuwu County in Huaiqing Prefecture, opened several mines, set up several factories, and properly resettled a large number of displaced people in Henan, which not only brushed a wave of prestige in the officialdom, but was also praised by many people in the local area.

The praise in the officialdom is true and false, but the local gentry's feelings for Gao Pragmatic are very real, as real as real money, because Gao Pragmatic does make them earn real money.

Why did the high pragmatism of opening mines and factories make the local gentry earn real money?

This thing is really too simple to say, everyone in later generations may understand this truth, after a large number of displaced people are placed here, so many people need to eat, need to wear, need to use, and these things are highly pragmatic factories and mines can not be produced, they can only buy from the surrounding prefectures and counties, and the grain, cloth and all kinds of daily necessities in the surrounding prefectures and counties, the bulk of which is not in the hands of these local gentry?

Therefore, Gao pragmatic and stubbornly turned a group of displaced people who have caused major hidden dangers to the safety of their lives and property into a stable and huge consumer market.

What's more, Gao Pragmatic is still a very good person who is very willing to take care of Xiangzi in their eyes, when these factories and mines began to produce and find a market, and began to make stable profits, Gao Pragmatic came forward through his mother Zhang, and invited Wei Hui and Huaiqing to participate in the gentry.

Originally, the gentry of the two governments felt that it was easy to borrow money, after all, Gao Pragmatic was equivalent to having Changlu Salt Farm behind him, and he was not afraid that he would not be able to repay the money, but he was a little hesitant to participate in the shares, because the scale of the factory and mine opened by Gao Pragmatic here is really a bit large, in case of loss, it is not a small number.

However, at that time, it happened that Zhang Juzheng fell, and the Gao Party achieved a comprehensive advantage in the imperial court.

However, since they only bought shares for the sake of giving face to Gao Gong, the ratio of their final shares to the total shares was not very high, and it was only 17 percent when added together.

As a result, unexpected things were born, because of the high pragmatic understanding of cement, and there are large reserves of limestone mines, coal mines and iron ore near the two counties of Huojia and Xiuwu, so the newly built Jinghua Cement Plant Henan Branch here suddenly became a fragrant glutton, the first year of the total side of the river from here to buy up to 110,000 taels of cement, and later with the gradual improvement of the national finance, the river engineering funds have also increased year by year, Wanli five years, the total side of the river in the Jinghua Cement Plant Henan Branch bought 190,000 taels of silver cement!

The factory is not only a business of the river general, you must know that these two counties are not far from the Yellow River, and all the interconnected water systems along the Yellow River and even in the basin can easily obtain cement, because the transportation cost is very low!

In this way, the vast majority of the gentry and magnates in Weihui and Huaiqing have made money, and their feelings for Gao Pragmatic are naturally as real as real money.

And Zheng Wangfu's contact with Gao Pragmatic this time is because when Zheng Wangfu was imprisoned before, Zheng Wangfu suffered huge losses, and the wealth accumulated in the past 150 years was scattered, and he was anxious to return to blood, and Gao Pragmatic happened to take a fancy to some of the land under King Zheng's name, King Zheng's fief Huaiqing, and many of the land in Huaiqing Mansion belonged to his family.

Although theoretically speaking, because the civil officials have been in power for a long time, many of the fields under the name of the palace are not directly controlled, but the local government is responsible for giving benefits on behalf of the government, but in fact, just like the hidden fields of the officials and gentry, there are also many hidden fields in the palace, coupled with the rewards of the emperors of the past dynasties and the ingenious seizures of the kings of the past dynasties, there is no palace that does not have a large number of land that is not in the Yellow Book.

King Zheng is still good here, the main land is basically in Huaiqing Mansion, if you want to change it to the King of Shu, don't talk about other places, just Chengdu, the area of King Shu Mansion will reach 7

As for the plot of land that Gao pragmatic wants, needless to say, if you open the map, you will know that it must be near Jiaozuo in the future!

Jiaozuo not only has huge reserves of high-quality coal mines, but also a lot of iron ore, as well as a large number of high-quality limestone mines needed to produce soda ash and cement, as well as rivers that lead directly to the Yellow River.

In addition to discussing the matter of King Zheng's mansion becoming a shareholder in the form of land, Gao Shishi was also very concerned about the envoy sent by King Zheng this time, because he was the son of King Zheng Well, this is not important, the important thing is that his name is Zhu Zaiyu.

Who is Zhu Zaiyu, who is so valued by Gao Pragmatic? In later generations, he was called the "Oriental Renaissance Saint" by many Chinese and Western experts and scholars, and even called the "Law Saint"!
