Chapter 73 Fu Youde’s thoughts
After walking out of the large blue jade tent, He Xi felt relaxed.
Although it is said that the He family's property was lost by him. He still didn't know how to explain it to Princess Anqing. Even, to a certain extent, He Xi's business in Liaodong had unclear accounts and no distinction between public and private matters. If He Xi was convicted in this way, there would be no problem at all.
However, He Xi didn't think so. But in fact, it is the concept of property rights. It was only determined by later generations. It has only been more than ten years since the Property Law was passed.
In ancient times, the ownership of each party was not clear. For example, some of the Jinghai companies are said to be palace shares. But in fact, it is owned by the He family. According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, imperial officials could not establish industries in their own jurisdiction. Therefore, He Xi should not have private property in Liaodong. There is also the Confucian tradition that parents do not divide property. That is to say. A person alone does not own property. What he calls property belongs to his family and clan. On the other hand, a wealthy family has the status of the patriarch and the property he owns. It's hard to say it's from his own lineage. Not from the clan.
There is family property here again. Sacrifice fields and so on.
There is no definite answer in many aspects. Very vague. Family property and private property. All aspects can be transformed. And many times, the agreement is made privately and is not registered with the government. And the government cannot make such a registration. The workload is too much.
so. It's a blur here.
A lot of it is empty space.
Sometimes, it's not that He Xi doesn't want to do things according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty. But what he did was not explained at all by the Ming Law. did not think of.
He Xi understands more and more that developing productivity is one thing. Adjusting production relations is another matter. The former may also have the possibility of obscene development. But the latter is a tough battle. All systems of the Ming Dynasty were centrally located, from central to local levels. From civil administration to military administration. From the royal family to the scholar-bureaucrats. All require a big change.
Sometimes He Xi doesn't dare to think too much.
Because he didn't know how to start.
He then shook his head and suppressed his worries about the future. Just do what's right in front of you.
The future is too far away, so people only need to live in the present. Even if you do everything well in the present, you may not be able to achieve a successful future. But if you can't even do the current thing well, it's useless to think so much.
What he wants to do now is to build Liaodong into the world's first industrial zone.
Lan Yu's departure is a foregone conclusion. He needs to have a good talk with his new future partner, Fu Youde.
------
The tea has been refilled three times.
He Xi drank another drink and said: "The situation in Goryeo is probably like this. However, I have not always been in the army. Marquis Yingchuan wants to know more. He can only ask the generals in the army."
He Xi told what he knew about the battlefield situation in Goryeo, the civil situation in Goryeo, and Japan's internal problems, etc. Whatever he knew, He Xi told Fu Youde without reservation. After all, the relationship between He Xi and Lan Yu does not affect the relationship between him and Fu Youde. He Xi will not affect the national plan because of his personal relationship, especially the attack on Japan. If He Xi is very strong. Determined not to spare any effort.
If he could, he could not wait to pull Lan Yu over. Tell Fu Youde all about Lan Yu's secret arrangements. But he knew that Lan Yu would never say anything.
He could only reveal the news to Fu Youde. As for how Fu Youde took over the intelligence network left by Lan Yu. It's not something He Xi can know. He could only let Fu Youde know that such an intelligence network existed.
Fu Youde picked up the teapot with his own hands and offered He Xi another cup of tea. Said: "Thank you Lord He. Without Lord He, I don't know where to start with today's situation. Lord He, please rest assured that all logistics matters will be entrusted to Lord He. As long as Lord He can supply all the needs of the entire army , I won’t ask more about other things.”
With this sentence, Fu Youde acknowledged all the conditions Lan Yu had reached with He Xi.
After all, Fu Youde is not as greedy as Lan Yu when it comes to money. In other words, compared to the Dukes of the Fu family, what does mere money mean? Fu Youde has seen how many rich people have become prisoners in troubled times. Just have enough money. Too much is not a fortune, but a disaster.
He just got here to take over the army. Lan Yu was so uncooperative. Most of the army were Lan Yu's cronies. He is in dire need of help. In addition, he also knew He Xi's talent and background, so he threw unimportant interests to He Xi in exchange for He Xi's full help. Of course it's a very good deal.
Of course, this is also the way people respect me and I respect others.
If He Xi introduces the situation here to Fu Youde again, he is fussy and even deliberately misleads and conceals it. Fu Youde is not like this. And He Xi knew everything and said everything. Through a conversation with He Xi. Fu Youde had a detailed understanding of the entire battlefield. Fu Youde naturally wanted to repay him. Fu Youde himself is a straightforward person. All of a sudden, he played out his chips.
After hearing this, He Xi was overjoyed and said, "Thank you so much, Lord Marquis."
Fu Youde said: "I have one more thing, please help Mr. He?"
He Xi said: "Master Hou, please speak."
Fu Youde said: "Please Sir He, please say hello to Uncle Yizhou and Uncle Henghai."
He Xi immediately understood that Fu Youde saw clearly.
Although Lan Yu is the general of the Eastern Conquest, the Lan Yu faction is also the core of the Eastern Conquest Army. But it does not mean that there are no people from other factions in the Eastern Conquest Army. This is impossible in any Ming army.
If this is the case, Nanjing will be the first to be unable to sit still.
Checks and balances are needed at all times. It's just that when Lan Yu was around, these generals from various factions were marginalized.
But when Fu Youde arrived, it was another situation. Some of the blue jade direct descendants will be exchanged and returned to the country. Another part will be marginalized and replaced by some of Fu Youde's direct descendants, and the other part will be the previously marginalized army.
Of course, Fu Youde is different from Lan Yu.
Lan Yu has a lot of adopted children. Once in the army, I wish I could replace all the generals with my own people. Often forgotten. The army is the army of the imperial court, not his army of blue jade. This is also the reason why Sapphire was so miserable in history. But Fu Youde is different.
Fu Youde's qualifications are different. Fu Youde had very senior qualifications in the army, just below Xu Da, Feng Sheng, Tang He and others. He is very experienced and has dealt with many generals. Either he had been a superior officer to these generals, or he had friendships with their superiors.
At this point, Fu Youde can control the situation. And the reason why Lan Yu formed cliques. It may have something to do with his shallow qualifications compared to veterans.
Therefore, Fu Youde needs some direct descendants as a foundation. But he does not need to replace all his soldiers with direct descendants. All he needs is for everyone to obey his authority as the coach. Anyway, if he takes credit. As for having fought this battle and working together again in the future, I don’t know when it will be. Why do you care so much?
This is probably due to the different methods of doing things by different generals at different stages.
Sapphire represents one stage, and Fu Youde represents another stage. And Xu Da represents the last stage. Xu Da even gave up his career in the military completely. I even want to give up. But Xu Da's prestige in the army became higher and higher.
Fu Youde doesn't mind using anyone else as long as he obeys his orders.
Bo Yechen of Yizhou and Bo Fangchengfeng of Henghai were both on the line of He Xi. As long as He Xi nodded. He expressed support. When executing orders, these two departments never dared to play tricks. Fu Youde trained the others one by one. As long as more than half of the army obeys. Coupled with the endorsement of national status, Fu Youde can force others to obey orders.
If you don't obey the order, just borrow a row of heads to sacrifice the flag.
If more than half of the army is stabilized, there will be no big mess out of control. As for the little mess. Fu Youde has been a general for many years and has never seen any kind of chaos. This kind of thing has been done for a long time.
