"Qi Qing, the Ministry of War and the Privy Council do not have the idea of dividing each division into two types: stationed and non-stationed." Zheng Kezhang comforted Qi Zhixin, who was aggrieved. "The division eats in turn in order to alleviate the central financial resources and to suppress the localities, but it can ensure that the system of the provincial garrisons will not change every five years, and the third division of the Xuanwei Army will inevitably have the day when it is ordered to march north."

"Your Majesty, that's not what the ministers really care about." Qi Zhixin was already an assistant general in Wubing Town before Shi Lang attacked Taiwan, and his status was far above Yin Long and others, who were just stormtroopers at the time, but he had never been an instructor in the boy boys' camp, so his promotion was far inferior to the other party, and now he is only a division commander, and it is impossible to say that there is no grudge against this. "It's just that the general army yamen has directly transferred the brigade and regiment levels over the ministers many times, and the ministers may think that something is wrong."

Qi Zhixin's reply made Zheng Kezhang fall into thought, in Zheng Kezang's planning, the provincial commander-in-chief yamen is similar to the provincial military district in a different time and space, but it should not have the power to directly mobilize the garrison army, but because Zheng Fan's recovery of southern China has only been six years, the three-level military service system has not yet been fully finalized, so as the provincial military district governor, the general guard army accepts the entrustment of the governor who is also the governor of the Privy Council, and the command and transfer of the local garrison cannot be regarded as excessive.

So after thinking about it for a while, Zheng Kezang, who acted as a peacemaker, said: "The rank of the general military officer of a province is higher than that of the commander of a division, for example, before the army, the presidential officer transferred the headquarters of a certain division, does the secretary also want to ask for an explanation?" ”

Seeing Qi Zhixin, who was red-faced, opened his mouth to argue, Zheng Kezhang waved his hand: "Of course, the shape of the place may not be as ever-changing as it was before the army, but the truth is the same, don't resist." Besides, a spark can start a prairie fire, once there is chaos in the place, it is better to strangle it at the beginning, if you follow the rules and let the literature come and go, I am afraid it will cause a big mistake. ”

Zheng Kezhang also did not blindly criticize Qi Zhixin for not having a view of the overall situation: "However, there should also be a system for the general military officer to transfer the garrison, and when there is nothing to do, there must be the authorization of the governor and the yamen, and the garrison should also be written in advance, and the commander should make proper arrangements. ”

"As for once the prefecture and county submit a report to the general army yamen and the documents requesting troops, the general army yamen may transfer troops according to this or set an example before the army."

Zheng Kezhang can also be regarded as a bowl of water, so Qi Zhixin, who has a conflict with Yin Long, can only respond even if he is still a little reluctant: "The king is Shengming, the minister thinks that there is this criterion, and the upper and lower levels are safe." ”

"You can't just settle for a little rest." Zheng Kezhang shook his head. "Now that the system of meritocracy and the people has not yet been perfected, all divisions of the town army should transfer staff officers and military attachΓ©s at all levels to enter the general army yamen and guard the yamen, first, to counsel military affairs, communicate the contact between the local and town army, and second, to supervise the training of township warriors and regimental training to replace the town army and the town."

"Your Majesty, it seems that something is wrong with the town army colluding with the locality." All Chinese dynasties were very vigilant about the martial arts' control of local financial power and governing power, and the martial artists may not dare to contact the local government lightly, and it is with this idea that Qi Zhixin seems a little worried. "Please think twice about the king."

"There is a more law, and Lone is still worried that you will not be able to cut the land by yourself?" Zheng Kezhang was confident that the meritorious system and martial arts system and other institutional constraints could limit the emergence of warlords. "Besides, it's not for you to interfere in the affairs of localities, prefectures, and counties, but to strengthen ties between you and local guards."

Qi Zhixin thought about it and felt that Zheng Kezang was reasonable, after all, it was only the internal connection between the town army and the military affairs system, and it was indeed impossible to hook up with the place, but he was still worried: "Your Majesty, each division of the town army sent people to enter the general army yamen and guard the yamen, is it true that the general army and the sub-guard yamen should also send people into the town army headquarters?" ”

"Naturally." Not only should the provincial military districts and military subdivisions send people to the garrison troops, but also the military police and secret service agencies should also send people to the garrisons. "Do you have questions?"

Qi Zhixin nodded: "The ministers are afraid that the chief soldier yamen and the people who guard the yamen will overstep the command when the time comes." ”

It may be impossible for the liaison officers sent by the general army yamen to suppress the division system, but there are no more than two or three divisions in a province's town army, and there may be only one division or even one division.

It can't be said that Qi Zhixin's idea is unfounded, once the founding of the country is long, the authority of the central government declines, and someone will inevitably be eager to try, Zheng Kezhang squinted his eyes and muttered for a moment: "Qing reminded well, Lone Zi will arrange for the Ministry of War and the Privy Council to properly agree on the provisions, and in the future, once the country has its own system, those who disturb the system will be dealt with****??"

Perhaps it was Qi Zhixin's words that disturbed Zheng Kezang's mind, so he seemed absent-minded about the next inspection to Zhaoqing, so that Yin Long, the deputy commander-in-chief of Guangdong, was quite suspicious about this.

On November 11 of the first year of Taishun, Zheng Kezhang returned from Zhaoqing, but Zheng Kezhang did not enter Guangzhou directly, but first arrived in Foshan, "commonly known as the four major towns in the world, Foshan and Yan in Guangdong." The town belongs to the South China Sea, the merchants are divergent, the department stores are gathered, the shore is uneven, and it stretches for dozens of miles. In the rich and prosperous area of the South and Central, there is no one who exceeds this. ”

Although Foshan is prosperous and gathers more than 100,000 people, at this time Foshan is just a small town subordinate to Nanhai County, and the highest governor is only a county official of Nanhai County and an inspector of the inspection department, in addition to more than a dozen officials to maintain the market, which is an inconspicuous point on the political map of China.

Therefore, Zheng Kezang's arrival not only caused a sensation in Foshan, but also brought an impact on Guangzhou officialdom.

In order to ensure Zheng Kezang's Anqing, in addition to the palace guards and a regiment of the Praetorian Guard, Yin Long and Qi Zhixin respectively commanded a regiment to defend the periphery, the first division of the Longxiang Army also sent a regiment of troops to Shunde to echo, Guangzhou Prefecture and Nanhai County also sent a large number of officials to Foshan, for a time except for Zheng Kezang himself, Guangdong up and down as if facing a great enemy.

In this regard, Zheng Kezhang disagreed, he thought that although he did not have many escort forces, he was definitely not a white dragon fish suit, so he spent a lot of time inspecting in Foshan. At this time, Foshan is famous for handicrafts and commerce, among which the handicraft industry is smelted again, there has always been a saying that "Qin, Jin, Huai, Chu, Hunan, Fujian, and Guangzhou mountains are all produced in the mountains, and the Guangzhou iron is good", and in the Guangzhou Railway, "Zhuye is the best Luoding Datang base furnace iron, all are iron, smooth and soft, can be pulled out as a line, the woks are also strong, and the price is more expensive than the furnaces. The iron smelting of all furnaces has been completed, and they are all exported to Foshan Port. ”

Foshan's smelting industry for Zheng Fan is the most important source of pig iron before Shilu, Ma'anshan, Daye and other iron mines were not put into production, as early as the Zheng Jing era, Zheng Jun had troops in Foshan, robbed 300,000 catties of pig iron, Zheng Fan controlled half of southern China, Foshan iron became the most important military goods, Zheng Fan's military department purchased Foshan pig iron and refined it in Dongning and Jiangnan and other places, in order to make artillery, rifle guns and other weapons, almost 80% of the Guangzhou Iron was directly bought by the government, It further stimulated the prosperity and development of Foshan's metallurgical industry.

After inspecting several smelting mills and iron shops, Zheng Kezhang then inspected the pottery industry in Foshan's handicraft industry.

Foshan's pottery industry inherited the Guangdong pottery industry in the Song and Yuan dynasties, mainly civil pottery, and imitated famous porcelain from all over the country, with its own characteristics, and formed a pottery guild and pottery family, the internal sales of Liangguang and Fujian, the external sales of Beihe, Guangnan and part of the sales to Japan, is also famous.

However, what attracted Zheng Kezhang was not the prosperity of the smelting and pottery industries, but the pattern of the east and west lines that appeared in the handicraft industry in Guangdong. As the name suggests, the owner is the representative of the management, while the west is the representative of the workers, and the two parties negotiate to settle the labor dispute. If it is the owner, there is no one to work for him. ”

In the Jiangnan region in the north, the economy is also extremely prosperous, and labor disputes are also continuous, because there is no similar trade union organization in the Xijia Bank, and the silk weaving and cloth workers in Jiangnan often organize strikes called "call for rest" because of wage problems, and the losses caused by this have certainly affected the owners of the capital, but also have an impact on Zheng Fan, who takes commercial tax as the basis for the operation of the central government.

"Copy the rules of procedure of the East and West Banks to the Ministry of Planning (Salt and Iron) and try it with the Jiangnan Salt and Iron Envoy Yamen." Zheng Kezhang ordered. "If Jiangnan Shi is feasible, it should be implemented throughout the country, and the imperial court and local government should no longer intervene in disputes between merchants and workers, so as to prevent the party suffering from the loss from angering the government."

Zheng Kezhang would never have made the establishment of a state and the removal of Manchurian rule his ultimate goal in his rebirth, so when the social transformation began, the fierce class conflict could not help but express a certain forward-looking concern. In order to deal with the confrontational behavior of the marginalized groups at the bottom, the society needs to have several lines of defense, such as fair economic treatment, legitimate interest organizations, harmonious social networks, mutual assistance and public welfare organizations formed by the people, the constraints of etiquette and law, government relief, fair justice, and state violence.

Although some of them Zheng Kezhang can't do it now, and the official perception of Cheng DΓΉ is not so high, he must start now, otherwise once the curtain opens, the irreversible trend will inevitably cause a great impact. Of course, he can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and now that the small-scale peasant economy is absolutely dominant, all he can do is subtle.

"Okay, I've seen what I should have seen." What should have been seen had already been seen, and the commerce of Foshan could no longer attract Zheng Kezang's attention, so he ordered. "It's really difficult to be alone in Foshan for the sake of Guangzhou Mansion and Nanhai County, so let's be interested, and set off, right?"

Sorry, I've been going for ten days, but I'm flying to Bali tomorrow.
