Chapter 110: Laying Out the World (Part II)
Fang Yanqian also went to Jinyang? Gao Yanzong was a little surprised, but he didn't raise any objections, just asked, "Could it be that the Turks have already responded?" ”
He thought about it, and it could only be like this.
As a lieutenant, Gao Yanzong could not really be ignorant of the government, he knew that the court was extremely concerned about this mutual market.
His Majesty wants to start trade with Nanchen, Khitan, Turki, and Goguryeo at the same time, and if the Turks have not agreed, His Majesty will definitely not make such arrangements for Jinyang.
Gao Wei scrubbed his fingertips that had been cut, and said lightly: "A few days ago, the Yanzhou Thorn History played the imperial court, saying that the Turkic envoy and Ashinaku, the younger brother of the wooden pole, would arrive in Yecheng in a few days, and they were so eager that this matter was already half ......."
"What does Your Majesty mean now?" Gao Yanzong carefully looked at His Majesty's expression, it was a good thing that the matter had reached a cost, but it seemed that His Majesty's interest was not high......
Cushman & Wakefield's interest is indeed not high, not because things are not going well, on the contrary, the Turks agreed so happily, which is beyond Cushman's expectations.
According to the insatiable nature of the Turks, shouldn't they let people bargain first, and only then will they be satisfied?
With such a happy promise, Muzhu also sent his younger brother to facilitate this matter, which not only exceeded Cushman & Wakefield's expectations, but also fully demonstrated the importance they attach to this cooperation, which is a very pleasant thing.
However, it was precisely because the Turks took too much importance that Gao Wei felt strange.
[What the hell is that old guy on the wood, what the hell is going on? 】
Thinking of this, Gao Wei's brows furrowed slightly.
But now he was only speculating, so he simply stopped dwelling on the subject, and said to them:
"It's nothing, I'm afraid it's not that simple for the Turks to come here, let's cover it with water...... anyway, the envoys of the Southern Dynasty will also pay a return visit this month, so we simply solved it together."
Gao Yanzong suddenly realized and asked, "Then Your Majesty summoned the Guild to enter the court yesterday ......?" ”
Gao Wei glanced at him and said, "I just transferred him to the court for the time being, so that he doesn't get in the way in the south......"
Wang Lin is the head of the Northern Qi army in the Jianghuai area, and even among the many generals in the Northern Qi who hold military power, Wang Lin is also ranked first.
Don't look at him now reading and fishing at home every day, it is no different from retiring, but Wang Lin's control over his subordinates is still very strong, and he has a great influence on the Jianghuai region.
Cushman & Wakefield wants to ally with Nan Chen, but Wang Lin has a deep hatred with Nan Chen, if he is dissatisfied with this, will he stir up the situation? …… Or even rebellion?
It's also something that doesn't know......
Therefore, Cushman & Wakefield must take precautions and make a move to rise and fall.
Anyway, before the envoy of Nan Chen starts to leave, let's get Wang Lin to Yecheng first.
Xu is a high-ranking official, and he still has enough authority to fully show Gao Wei's love and attention.
If Wang Lin comes, then it will be the best of both worlds. Wang Lin is a very capable person, and his entry into the court can decentralize the power of the Privy Council. Moreover, Wang Lin also has enough understanding of Nanyang and Nanchen, which can be used as a sufficient preparation for the layout of the Southern Dynasty in the Northern Qi Dynasty, which is an advantage that other privy council envoys do not have.
At the same time, Cushman & Wakefield can not only smoothly carry out mutual markets in the south, but also slowly divide the control of local military leaders such as Wang Lin and collect power to the imperial court.
But if Wang Lin said that he was sick and couldn't come, then this intention ......
This is not Cushman & Wakefield's malicious speculation, think about it, if Wang Lin really claims that he is sick and can't come, isn't it dissatisfied with the court and Cushman Cushman?
If he deliberately sabotaged the mutual market cooperation with Nan Chen, or even provoked a war between the two countries, what would Cushman do?
A military leader with real power is nesting underneath, and Gao Wei has to be careful at all times, and he is wary of blowing up his hair, which is really unpleasant.
Even though this thorn has always done his duty and behaved very obediently, Gao Wei is still not at ease, and he has to get him under his nose to look at Gao Wei to rest assured.
Instead of watching this thorn there, worrying about him every day, it is better to directly pull out this thorn, or, melt it into flesh and blood!
Speaking of military leaders, there are also many on the Jinyang side, and the army is equivalent to the private army of the generals, and the generals have absolute authority over the army below.
Life and death are just a matter of the Lord's words.
If it was just one or two, Cushman would have slaughtered them a long time ago, and then let them go, and have a mighty rectification.
But it's not one or two, it's not seventeen or eighteen, it's a big piece! It's all military heads!
Most of the troops of the Northern Qi Dynasty were hoarded in Jinyang, with an army of two or three hundred thousand!
If Cushman & Wakefield dares to do it directly, it will be on the opposite side of the entire Jinyang Six Towns!
Cushman & Wakefield, which lost Jinyang's support, is no different from losing most of the country at once.
Jinyang, the world's hegemon, Emperor Gao relied on to dominate the world, its status is important, its influence is far-reaching, it is not a joke.
Since the founding of the Northern Qi Dynasty, every large-scale war against the Northern Zhou Dynasty has not been based on Jinyang.
Jinyang City is known as the "Golden City Soup Pool", the one who gains is prosperous, the one who loses is frowned, the one who comes first wins, and the one who comes later is covered.
This natural geographical advantage became the first choice for the Gaoqi Dynasty to build Jinyang into its own base.
It is the hub of north-south transportation, and under the vigorous management of the Northern Qi royal family, a traffic artery with Jinyang as the center has been formed.
The essence of the Northern Qi Dynasty is in Jinyang, of which the power of the six towns of Xianbei is the most important part, if there is no six towns of Xianbei, Jinyang is not called a tyrant or two things.
Gao Huan started his business, relying on the strength of Xianbei in the six towns, defeated Er Zhuzhao, chased the world, and established the Great Prime Minister's Mansion to control the whole country here.
Therefore, although the capital of the Eastern Wei Dynasty was Yecheng, the real center of power was Jinyang.
As the accompanying capital, Jinyang's influence is even higher than that of Yecheng.
The emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty spent most of the year in Jinyang, not Yecheng, which is very revealing.
That is to say, this year's affairs are busy, and there are too many tasks such as "rectification", "field division", and "reclamation", otherwise Cushman & Wakefield is now on the way to Jinyang.
So no matter what, Jinyang is a place he must control!
He really wanted to drive Jinyang, but not now.
The current Cushman & Wakefield, first, has not strengthened the country's momentum, and second, has not seen the results of various policies, and he is young. If we go to Jinyang to carry out reforms at this time, then Cushman & Wakefield has no authority, and the second has no authority, and it will be difficult.
Although he doesn't go back to Jinyang, he can settle down in Jinyang first. This chess piece is Gao Yanzong and Fang Yanqian, and it is the best choice for them to open up the situation for Gao Wei in Jinyang first.
"Brother Wang, you go to Jinyang this time and transfer all the people and horses of the Western Battalion away......"
If Gao Yanzong goes to Jinyang like this, it will be difficult to make achievements, and Gao Wei will give Gao Yanzong absolute support in this regard.
"What about Yecheng here, ......?" Gao Yanzong expressed concern about the remaining military strength in Yecheng.
Gao Wei said: "It's okay, Hu Changjie and Uncle Zhao Wang have gathered a lot of strong men who are willing to serve in the military, more than 70,000 people, enough to fill the gap in the forbidden army, you just take it, there are still 30,000 elite forbidden troops in the East Battalion, it should be no ......big problem."
There are forbidden army camps in Yecheng, the North Camp, the East Camp, and the West Camp, all of which are not the forbidden troops guarding Yecheng.
The original intention of the establishment of the Yecheng Forbidden Army was originally to balance the nobles of the Six Towns and at the same time suppress the power of the Hebei family!
It can be said that the current Northern Qi can be divided into three major military groups: the six towns of Jinyang, the Yecheng Forbidden Army, and the Wubao of the Hebei family!
After the purge of the Langya King rebellion case, Gao Wei has completely controlled the Yecheng Forbidden Army. Now, he wants Gao Yanzong to play the striker and stretch out his hand to Jinyang!
"Fang Qing, your task is equally important." Gao Wei looked at Fang Yanqian with burning eyes.
If Gao Yanzong's side has to wait patiently little by little to see results, then Fang Yanqian's side is really good and can see the benefits in the short term.
This is a very direct achievement. Nothing reflects a country's strength more than financial resources.
With money, you can do anything!
In fact, Cushman & Wakefield attaches great importance to the mutual market in Jinyang, and there are three main reasons:
He wanted to revitalize the country's economy, allow wealth to circulate, and increase state taxes. Second, to achieve further control over Jinyang, and the control of finances will affect all aspects of the lives of the young people such as Xianbei, Khitan, Xia, and Gaoche. Third, it is necessary to seize the opportunity to clean up the currency of the whole country and carry out fiscal reforms.
This is the medicine that has been smeared with honey, as long as you get it and taste the sweetness, you can never do without it again.
If you can achieve long-term political goals and see short-term benefits, why not?
The reason why Jinyang was chosen is because since its establishment, Jinyang has always been the hub of north-south transportation, and the political, economic and military town of the north.
In this era, although commerce and trade were still not prosperous, Jinyang was an exception, commerce was extremely active, trade was extremely prosperous, and Jinyang became the trade center area in the north at that time.
In the Northern Qi Dynasty, merchants who made profits by renting shops had already appeared in Jinyang City.
In addition, Jinyang City is also a place where materials are distributed and jewelry gathers, and a large number of horses and jewelry flow from Jinyang City to various places.
Jinyang not only has developed commerce internally, but also has merchants from the Western Regions who come to Jinyang for business activities from far and wide, and He Shikai's father is one of them.
Jinyang once became another connecting point of the Silk Road. In addition, Jinyang is close to northern Xinjiang and has control over the northern states and counties, so Cushman & Wakefield will use Jinyang as the center of mutual commerce and trade, which is actually a very suitable choice.
"Jinyang commerce and trade has become its own system, and Aiqing is going to expand commerce and trade on the original basis, so that the court can regulate and control the market at the macro level...... The specific situation still needs to be opened by Aiqing herself, if there is a problem with the cabinet's proposal, Aiqing can directly play it to my ......"
Gao Wei's eyes were bright, Jinyang is the land of Gao's Longxing, Gao Huan will fight for the world from here, and he will also completely open up the situation of internal and external difficulties in Northern Qi here!
