Make sugar, buy wood, and draw Gui in Lianzhou.
For these three major events, Gao pragmatically thought about it before and after, and the planning was basically completed. Of course, this is just a general strategy, and the specific details must be carefully planned.
At least, it must be clearly defined where the sugar refineries related to the sugar industry should be located, when and where personnel should be trained, where they will be deployed and recruited, how much investment will be made, etc., right?
At least, after buying the wood, you can't just keep it for good looks. Even if the wood needs to be dried before it can be used, the construction of the corresponding Jinghua Shipyard Southern Branch or a separate new corresponding shipyard should also be considered, right?
So, where is this shipyard located? Guangzhou has the advantages of Guangzhou, and Qinzhou has the advantages of Qinzhou. Do we need to weigh them? As for personnel issues, investment issues, etc., which are the same as those for sugar refineries, they also need to be planned and calculated, right?
Although after ten years of entrepreneurship, Gao Pragmatic now does not need to start from scratch when establishing these two new factories as it did ten years ago. Some management talents can be deployed from within Jinghua, but the specific deployment must also be internally selected or recommended, right?
Besides, it is impossible to deploy them all from within Jinghua. The place where the factory is built must recruit people. For example, the Guangzhou Port has been recruiting talents for manufacturing sea-going ships since it was first taken over by Gao Pragmatic. This group of people can be considered now. On duty.
However, the sugar refinery is a bit troublesome. This is not a project that Gao Pragmatic had planned ten years ago, but a temporary project, because Gao Pragmatic originally did not expect that he would come to Guangxi to work, let alone that there would be people in Guangxi. Such an opportunity.
Controlling chieftains is not entirely about helping the court reduce the threat of chieftains. Although that is the main reason, the secondary reasons are not really secondary to Gao Pragmatic.
Gao Pragmatic had coveted Nanyang ten years ago! Otherwise, why would he have been recruiting people to build ocean-going ships so early? Otherwise, why would he have so many servants as guards, mine protection teams, and factory protection teams?
Just kidding, with his current high-level connections, does his factory or mine near Gyeonggi Province need to worry about being robbed? Even if it is a team transporting goods, those bandits and thieves may not dare to move!
Since the success of the tribute, Xuanda and Shuntian have long been quiet. Qi Jiguang has an immortal sword in Jizhen, Li Chengliang has a sharp edge in Guangning, and the foreign enemies from Beilu cannot threaten the three major factories in Kaiping. Logically speaking, they are highly pragmatic. Now it would be okay if all the factory and mine protection teams near Gyeonggi Province were withdrawn. At most, a few cavalry guards from Jinghua Trading Company would be left.
Is he keeping these paramilitary organizations just because he has too much money? That’s all preparation for the future!
Gao pragmatically didn't have much confidence in his own military training, so he handed over the infantry and cavalry to Qi Jiguang and Ma Fang, whom he considered the most reliable future figures, to help train them in advance, and he always maintained it, in order to one day Whenever there is a need, they can be summoned and they will be able to fight!
Where to fight? It can't be a rebellion, it must be fighting outside!
His original plan was to wait until his business in the south of the Ming Dynasty was gradually established, and then quietly send troops to occupy Taiwan. He would first occupy a stronghold in Kaohsiung and build it, and then use it as a base to conquer the Philippines from the Spanish.
However, the plan could not keep up with the changes. After he was sent to Guangxi, he suddenly discovered that Taiwan was not in a hurry, and the Philippines was not in a hurry. He might as well practice with Annan first.
Because taking Annan can kill multiple birds with one stone!
First of all, Ming Dynasty has always been dissatisfied with Annan. However, in view of the old events of Yongle and Xuande dynasties, it felt that attacking Annan would not be good, so it pinched its nose and accepted the current situation. But if Annan can be dealt with, the court will definitely welcome it. The imperial court should also be interested in the plans that Gao Jingshi plans to give to the court at that time...
The chieftains were used as the main force to attack Annan. After the capture, the chieftains were moved out of the country, and Han people were moved to the interior of Guangxi to supplement the army. As long as it can be realized, the imperial court will not only gain half of Guangxi's official territory in vain, but Annan will also become the territory of the Ming Dynasty - a chieftain will still be a chieftain, and he will still bear the court's tribute and levy! Isn’t this a big profit without spending a penny?
The chieftain is not at a loss either. He used to live in the ravines in western Guangxi and southern Guangxi. After going south to Annan, even if he only gets Annan's Northern Dynasty and Mo Dynasty, there is also a world-class barn in the Red River Plain. This business is guaranteed to make a profit. ah!
As for Gao Pragmatic, he doesn't have to worry. He can't dig out the 200 billion tons of coal in the Red River Plain area alone in five hundred years. If the situation is smoother and the Hou Le Chao in the south is directly settled, there will still be a Ha Tinh iron mine! Your Cen and Huang families occupy the land, and I, Gao, only have two mines plus commercial interests. Isn’t this treating you unfairly?
Oh, I may have to occupy one or two ports or something, I think you won't mind.
If we were to say where the trouble lies in this matter, it may mainly lie in whether the Cen and Huang families can join forces, and whether the two families have sufficient military strength.
Although the two of them combined can muster 100,000 wolf soldiers, that is a desperate attack, which is generally not advisable. It is better to have less, and 50,000 wolf soldiers will be enough.
However, Annan has a lot of soldiers and horses. It is doubtful whether fifty thousand wolf soldiers are enough to defeat Annan, especially since the Cen and Huang families are poor chieftains. It is far from satisfying what the general of the Red Dynasty said: "With both beautiful weapons and equipment and a Guangxi accent, he must be the best among the best."
I already have a Guangxi accent, but I just need fine art equipment.
Well, Gao Press plans to spend his own money to replace it with "high-tech equipment", but it is absolutely impossible to give it away for free. It must be agreed in advance that the mining areas that Gao Press has chosen after taking Annan, The port must be sold to him in advance.
By the way, Gao Andai is not completely useless. When the time comes, it is completely conceivable to send thousands of servants to come and train. Although Gao has no experience in fighting, his subordinates have also been trained by Qi Jiguang. Yes, there are also wolf soldiers from the Cen and Huang families, so it shouldn't be a big problem no matter how you look at it.
After all, the leader of the Mo Dynasty, King Qian Mo Jingdian, has died of illness. If this is not enough to bully him, it is really unjustifiable.
Before coming to Guangxi, I didn't know there would be such a big change. However, the censor's term of office is only one year. Now we really don't have time to wait!
All work must be started quickly, without stopping for a moment, but... there is a problem.
Gao pragmatic frowned. He had not yet revealed his identity in front of Huang Zhiting. He had no one at hand. He could not even send someone to contact the Guangzhou Port and ask them to convey his order to the capital.
No, I can't afford to waste this time. I have to confess to Huang Zhiting immediately, oh no, I need to explain it clearly to her.
