Chapter 51 Wu Gao has arrived

It was not an easy thing for He Xi to meet Lan Yu.

After all, He Xi got so much money from Lan Yu, even if the big war was imminent, Lan Yu didn't care, He Xi couldn't say nothing, but in the warehouse in Liaodong, there were all kinds of materials, and even food was not too lacking.

But there really isn't such a thing as silver.

Almost He Xi got the silver, and he went out to buy all kinds of raw materials.

Otherwise, how did the textile mill run before?

He always had to give Lan Yu some explanation.

So, He Xi turned his family's silver into Liaodong silver. It's not much, about 400,000 taels, and it will be given directly to Lan Yu, which is enough to deal with Lan Yu. Of course, this is personal.

There are also some official duties, which I will not go into detail here.

Yang Shiqi was also in awe, he has also seen a lot over the years. I have seen a lot of corrupt officials, and I have also seen a lot of clean officials. But He Xi has never seen this kind of person who sticks money to the people of the imperial court. Don't say that He Xi is a relative of the emperor. Closely related to the country, Yang Shiqi has seen more imperial relatives, but he doesn't have such an idea as He Xi, they are more willing to make money from the imperial court. I would never want to post money.

Yang Shiqi said: "My lord, it's hard work. ”

He Xi said: "There is no need to say these words. Hurry up and arrange the loading, I'll go to Goryeo, by the way, please ask Lord Huang to come too. In a word. I still have a lot of things to arrange. ”

------

There are three major things to be arranged when He Xi leaves Liaodong.

The first major event is that production in various places cannot be stopped, although it is said that Liaodong is still tight. But it's still possible to keep production moving forward.

The second major event is the autumn harvest.

He Xi predicts that when he harvests in the autumn, he will probably not be able to come back. So this one thing should be arranged in advance. The grain decision is Liaodong, not the top priority of the entire Ming Dynasty, whether it is in the south or in Liaodong. Today, Liaodong's dependence on foreign countries is the highest grain.

Once Liaodong was able to be self-sufficient in grain. He Xi can save I don't know how many silver taels.

The third major event is the military of Liaodong.

Although the past two years have been relatively peaceful. But it does not mean that there is no war in Liaodong. Don't say anything else. Just talk about the Fushun rebellion. One can't get it right. It's also embarrassing. Not to mention, the safe town of Changchun Fort. There have been sporadic engagements.

Very often, it was not with the Mongols, but with the tribes of the Northeast Plain.

Sometimes, it's not interesting to go south. It's just that when the prairie loses its authority, chaos is the main theme. In the midst of the chaos, many people don't care who they are dealing with. Even if the Ming army left Changchun Fort more than ten miles away, these people still killed people.

Anyway, this year, deep mountains and old forests. Desolate place outside a town. Even if you are a royal prince and noble, you will not be able to find the murderer if you kill you.

It's just a military matter, and He Xi couldn't find anyone to entrust him for a while.

He Xi couldn't help but sigh and said, "It's good that General Ye is still here." ”

Yes. Ye Wang has been guarding Liaodong for more than ten years, and not only the people of Liaodong are familiar with General Ye, but even the enemy is also familiar with General Ye. As long as Ye Wang is still alive, even if he lingers on the sickbed and can't get out of bed, it is enough to make the upper and lower levels feel at ease, and it is enough to make the enemy dare not act rashly.

Even if Ye Wang said that Ye Shen had already outperformed him in the use of soldiers. But Ye Wang's prestige in the past few decades is not owned by Ye Shen.

If Ye Wang was here, He Xi wouldn't have to make any arrangements at all.

It is simply said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and at this time, someone suddenly came to report. said: "The new commander of Liaodong, the Marquis of Jiangyin, Wu Gao, has arrived. ”

He Xi was overjoyed and said, "Please, please." ”

------

He Xi didn't know that Wu Gao had been here for several days.

Wu Gao came by sea and took his own sea boat. Although it is said that when He Xi opened the sea to win over Xungui, Wu Gao's father and uncle were no longer there. However, after all, the Wu family also has a little prestige among the nobles. Although it is not as good as it was back then, it will not bypass him.

Wu Gao is a person who says that it sounds good, it is called cautious, and if it is not good, it is called timidity. As for the matter of opening the sea, he just followed the crowd, only got one or two boats and arranged a housekeeper to take care of them. Pursue not to offend anyone. I don't expect to make much money.

But even so, in a few years, the Wu family has accumulated more than 100,000 taels of belongings. Compared to those Big Macs, they are naturally a small shrimp, not even as good as the business name of the upper family. But this business jumped up and became the most profitable business of the Wu family.

The Wu family is different from the Lu family, and the two brothers of the Wu family defected to Zhu Yuanzhang with their subordinates. What does this mean? It shows that the Wu family itself has a family background. followed the process of Zhu Yuanzhang's conquest of the world, and the Wu family gathered land and got involved in the process of buying and selling in various places.

The richness of the Wu family is not comparable to that of the Lu family.

Haimao became the most profitable business of the Wu family, which shocked Wu Gao, who was still guarding filial piety at that time. He Xi, who started this incident, also has a certain good impression. I feel that this He Xi is my own person.

It's just that he was suddenly promoted several levels in a row and served as the commander of Liaodong, which is a feudal official. This couldn't help but make Wu Gao hesitate.

Wu Gao never worried that he would not be able to become a feudal official.

But he didn't expect to get to this position so soon. Wu Gao felt the subtle feeling between Zhu Yuanzhang and Xungui. He is even more cautious in his words and deeds, only to keep the title passed down from his ancestors, and nothing else. I knew that I was far inferior to my father and uncle.

It is also to do things, only without fault, not for merit.

After all, the Wu family has been rich and noble for generations, and now they need to keep it. Instead of being in the limelight.

Therefore, when Wu Gao knew that he was going to Liaodong, he learned about the situation in Liaodong and thought more.

Wu Gao found a problem, Liaodong seems to be another world, a completely different world from the Ming Dynasty, and everything in Liaodong seems to be covered by something intangible. Nanjing Center, discussing this and that, doesn't seem to mention Liaodong.

This is a fact that Wu Gao can't believe.

He didn't believe that in the Ming Dynasty, someone could cover the sky with one hand, so that the situation could not be reached.

If anything, only two people can do it.

One is the crown prince and the other is the emperor.

Except for these two, Wu Gao couldn't think of anyone else.

No matter which of these two, or the two of them together, doing such a situation made Wu Gao tremble.

If there was a choice, Wu Gao would not want to come here. But does Wu Gao have a choice?

Naturally, there is none.

He can only come here. Therefore, he came quietly, and before saying goodbye to He Xi, he had already turned around Yingkou several times, and he even had a silver ticket of five hundred taels in his hand. It made Wu Gao even more frightened. Without him, His Majesty has issued many harsh laws and regulations for the implementation of treasure money, and now there are people here who have set up another treasure banknote.

Although no one says that the issuance of treasure money is only a central power. But this is something that is self-evident, and there is no need to add legal provisions at all to increase authority.

Why dare you do such a thing, what else would you not dare?

Wu Gao secretly said in his heart: "Let's go, now there are two possibilities." He Xi is the prince's man. For the prince to run this place, do a cunning rabbit three holes," then Wu Gao shook his head, thinking that it was unlikely, and then said secretly: "Either He Xi is His Majesty's person." It is for His Majesty to try out a new law. If this is the case, some rumors between the prince and His Majesty may not be true. If Your Majesty really wants to abolish the crown prince? ”

In short, Wu Gao thinks about it, and there are huge risks. However, for now, he can only go up. He gritted his teeth secretly and said secretly: "No matter." This Liaodong is the tiger's den of Longtan, I also want to break through, even if I throw my life here, I can't lose the title of Marquis of Jiangyin. Whatever Your Majesty tells you to do, do it. ”

After some thought, Wu Gao was prepared for the worst-case scenario. Even as soon as he saw He Xi, He Xi called out the knife and axe hand and chopped him into pulp, and he was ready. It's just that a gentleman can't avoid the crown when he dies.

It's just that he never thought of it. The scene where He Xi saw him was a little too unexpected for him. The good ones made him a little unbearable.
