Because Gao Gong presided over tribute and mutual trade, and strictly required fair trade, and at the same time, taking into account the needs of ordinary Mongolian herdsmen, he allowed them to open "small markets". After this series of measures, the Mongolian people's perception of Gao Gong was really like Look like a Bodhisattva.
According to Cao Gan, when the news of Gao Gong's death reached Tumut, many tribes in Tumut burst into tears. Countless herdsmen took the initiative to follow Han customs and put mourning on Gao Gong. He looked older than dead. Khan is still sad.
Gao Pangshi was shocked when he heard this. The Mongolians these days are inhumane when it comes to cruelty, but when it comes to being honest, they are as honest as a child.
It seems that my idea back then was right. Although there are murderous people in this world, it is impossible for an entire nation to be murderous. In many cases, murderousness is caused by profit-people are so poor that they have nothing to lose. , if they don’t rob or kill, they will starve to death, so how can they not be murderous? Ants are still greedy for life, how much worse is it for humans!
The newly born twin brothers will still fight for milk! It can be seen that survival is the foundation of human nature.
However, this also seems to herald another thing: if Tumote really had a stable trade with the Ming Dynasty for decades and fought wars as in history, then I'm afraid it would be really bad.
You know, because of the relationship between Beijing and China, the trade between Daming and Tumut should be larger than in history. In addition, Gao Pragmatic himself has been importing luxury goods to Tumut, which may accelerate this. kind of "corruption".
Of course, there is good news, that is, his plan to control Tumut should go more smoothly - this is really a double-edged sword, and Gao Pragmatic feels that he has to think carefully about how to strike a balance.
And another good news, even great news, is the issue of "becoming a Buddha".
Gao Gong is his third uncle, and he is the successor of Gao Gong's mantle known to the world. So Gao Gong's lofty reputation among the Tumote people, he is so pragmatic that he would not take advantage of it unless he is stupid.
Especially at this point in time, when a new Great Khan is about to appear in Tumut, Gao Pragmatism happens to be responsible for the canonization. How about making good use of Gao Gong's prestige? Gao Pragmatism is not Gao Pragmatism. !
Leading one thousand Beijing cavalry and three thousand cavalrymen, Gao Pingshi and his party rushed to Datong in a mighty manner.
He found that the scenery along the way was very different from ten years ago.
Ten years ago, many places that had been battlefields became barren lands, but now they have been opened up into fertile fields again. It is spring now, and the fields are busy with spring plowing. It is a peaceful and happy scene. We look at it highly and pragmatically. Extremely gratified.
Especially when the villagers on the roadside and in the fields knew that the visitor was Gao Longwen, Gao Longwen, the nephew of Mr. Gao Ge and the Sixth No. 1 Scholar of the Ming Dynasty, they all hurriedly bowed to him. Many of the more courageous villagers would even shout, "Thank you, grass man, Gao Ge." "Thank you Gao Qingtian"...
Gao pragmatic almost shed tears when he saw it.
I have traveled through time for more than ten years, and my busy life is finally not in vain!
Third Uncle, you have a spirit in heaven, but have you seen the respect and gratitude these ordinary people have for you?
Cao Gan was also full of sighs and said: "I think back then, when the villain had no choice but to become a bandit, how could he know that the court was not really dominated by treacherous people, and that there was still a Qingtian lord like Gao Wen Zhenggong who wholeheartedly served the people..."
Whether he was dedicated to the "people", Gao Pragmatic didn't dare to vouch for it, but Gao Gong did everything for the Ming Dynasty.
Looking back now, Sanbo's death was not so much caused by the emotional outburst of his old friend Zhang Juzheng's depression. In fact, it was more likely that he was overworked... He has always been a workaholic, and he is getting older.
Alas, I, as a nephew, am also incompetent, and I can't persuade him even if I stay by his side. How happy he would be if he could see this scene with his own eyes...
Thinking about it, my nose couldn't help but feel sore.
The entire journey was silent.
When he arrived in Datong, Gao pragmatic found that the three towns of Xuanda were paying special attention to this mission. Although Xuanfu Governor Xiao Daheng and Shanxi Governor Xin Yingqian could not leave their posts without permission, they sent their trusted masters to come. The masters all claimed that they were here to "wait for orders."
Zheng Luo, the governor of Xuanda, also came to Datong in person, and together with Datong governor Jia Yingyuan, Datong garrison eunuch Liu Ping, and Datong chief military officer Ma Jin, welcomed the imperial envoy.
Zheng Luo was Gao Pragmatic's senior, so Gao Pragmatic naturally did not dare to neglect him. After going through the imperial envoy etiquette, he stepped forward with a smile to greet him. Zheng Luo had a good impression of Gao Dang, the future leader. He laughed and talked with him, and then introduced the other three "Big Three of Datong".
Although Jia Yingyuan, the governor of Datong, was a member of the Jin Party, Gao Pangshi was not very familiar with him. He only knew that his given name was Renfu and that he was from Zunhua County, Zhili. It is said that he was eager to learn since childhood and studied hard, and finally won the Jinshi in the 41st year of Jiajing.
Of course, I have seen his basic resume before he came here. He first served as the head of the Maintenance Department of the Ministry of Industry and was in charge of the Linqing Brick and Tile Factory. He later served in Jinan and Yangzhou. , none of my subordinates dare to pretend to be public for personal gain. Later he was promoted to deputy envoy to Shanxi and took charge of the army's logistics work. All military pay, tax and tribute accounts he managed were carefully verified and accurate, and Shanxi officials of all sizes respected him.
So he moved to Youqiandu as censor and governor of Datong. Last year, he also stated eight things: increasing the people's fort, adding piers and platforms, preparing equipment, consolidating the border city, setting up farmland, catching thieves, selecting regular officials, and returning native soldiers.
Well...it's all right, but whether it's done well or not is hard to say.
Gao pragmatically met Jia Yingyuan as a junior, but Jia Yingyuan refused to accept it because he said something that even Gao pragmatically didn't know: he was Guo Pu's disciple - Guo Pu was one of the same examiners in that subject. , Jia Yingyuan was chosen by him.
Damn it...it's a classmate from the teacher's school who's been causing trouble for a long time.
Since they were classmates, it was easy to talk. The two of them just made their relationship clear and didn't say a single word. The atmosphere actually became intimate.
This is the characteristic of the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty.
Liu Ping, the local eunuch who guards Datong, is an old acquaintance - his uncle is Huang Mengyu.
Eunuchs are eunuchs, and they are more shameless than civil servants, so when Liu Ping came up, he knelt down respectfully to Gao Pragmatic, and said in a very affectionate manner: "My nephew Liu Ping, I have met Uncle Gao Shi."
Uh... I'm on good terms with your uncle, but when did I promise you to be my nephew?
Well, I couldn't say this directly, so Gao Pragmatic had no choice but to nod his head quietly in the surprised eyes of the other three people, and said with an air of dignity: "Get up, before I came, your uncle told me, let me Let’s see if you have done anything wrong here under his guise, if so...he asked me to whip you with a whip.”
Liu Ping said hurriedly: "My nephew, how dare you? Datong is where my uncle made his fortune. My nephew is very honest and well-behaved in Datong. Zheng Zhijun, Jia Junmen and Ma Zongrong can all testify."
"That's good." Gao pragmatic nodded and looked towards Ma Jin.
Although this was the first time we met, he was not an outsider - he was Ma Gui's biological eldest brother.
