Luzon, military guard.

Gao Gong is a man who talks about young men and is busy for more than half a year.

As soon as Chen Mu left, the entire Nanyang Military Palace's problems were all on the shoulders of this little old man. Some things he could handle, and some things he couldn't handle were forced to deal with, which made him feel very troublesome.

This has nothing to do with talent. The regular affairs of the Nanyang Military Office are easy to be clearly defined, but Gao Gong does not understand more about technical means, and even if he has some speculations, he dare not do it.

"It's almost winter. Before winter begins, I will transport the last batch of supplies and food to Jiuzhou Island. The next time I will transport food there, it will be February of the next year, so that General Chen Bazhi can take it. This year, the remaining food and food in Luzon will be sent to Malacca, and the rice and food in Chen Shuai's side are enough for the winter."

"The military government bank treasury allocated another 220,000 taels to buy rice and grain from Sulu, Java, Ryukyu and other tribute countries, and stockpiled military government guards in case of emergency needs; Ruan Huang from Shuhua, Annan, wrote a letter saying that he had built a ship port and asked Ming merchants to go trade. The letter was sent to Lu Haojing Huang Cheng, asking him to summon Hexingsheng merchants to discuss the thirty great blessing ships twice a year, and Chen Shuai promised his soldiers and armoured muskets to transport them as they were.

"The chief guards of the guards went west to Myanmar, and the Nanyang Army's winter cattle should be the same. The military government discussed the Qianhu Office every month, and each army discussed when to come to the Military Office. Every ten days, the military officials would send it to the Qianhu Office. It would be sent to the Qianhu Office every thousand houses and would have to be sent by the Clippers."

"As for Guangdong, alas, Guangdong."

Gao Gong was once the prime minister of the empire, and even the most ambitious prime minister since the entire Ming Empire. He attempted to constrain the imperial power in the form of law and re-establish the power of the Ming Dynasty to truly determine the cabinet as the political dominance of the country. However, he was also excluded by the harem, eunuchs, and court officials at the same time, interrupting his political career.

The governors of Luzon and other countries were not a problem for commanders to train troops. The war against Japan had shifted from the most intense military confrontation to the confrontation stage. Governor Lin Feng of Java also did a good job. These were easy for Gao Gong, but the affairs in Guangdong gave him the most headache.

For no other reason, Gao Gong is a person who values ​​authority. Whether as the chief minister or as the deputy governor of the Nanyang Military Office, he has his own boundaries of his authority in his heart. He has to achieve all his strength within the boundaries, and outside the boundaries, he must first try every means to expand the boundaries before doing it.

But Chen Mu is different. The boundaries in the minds of the military governor are very blurred. The imperial court's "Nanyang" is expanding, and in addition to overseas affairs, he is also using official power to influence Guangdong.

This is not what the Nanyang Military Office should do in Gao Gong's eyes, but everything Chen Mu did was to influence Guangdong, and - this is not wrong.

If there is a theme in the Nanyang Military Prefecture, then the theme is to use overseas power to feed back the two capitals and 13 provinces. The Guangzhou Prefecture in Guangdong is the only official channel for the empire's interests in Nanyang, and the Nanyang Military Prefecture and Guangdong are naturally inseparable from interests.

However, the changes in Guangzhou Prefecture made Gao Gong a little confused. No matter the atmosphere, environment, or appearance, it has become different from those under the rule of the court. Even Gao Gong couldn't help but hesitate to see such a situation.

He had always been sending a message to Wu Dui of Xuanda. He knew the situation there. Wu Dui attached great importance to collective labor and remuneration based on merits and had the power of Governor of Xuanda. From the Xuanfu Military Equipment Bureau, the textile factory, to the current employment and production of coal mines, they have shown great talent, but the situation in Xuanda is different from that in Guangdong.

Xuanda has many factories that have affected the people's farming. Now Chen Mu has to go back three hundred miles from Altan to Bansheng's barren land, which has planted sweet potatoes, but this still cannot change the situation where the originally fertile fields are gradually abandoned.

The farmers flocked to the factory to become workers, which was also considered a fortune. A famine occurred and helped Wu Dui, asking the landlords in Xuanda to hire more tenants. Before the war in Annan began, those landlords were called "farmers" by Chen Mu, which sounded a bit encouraged such land annexation.

But Gao Gong felt that this was a big problem, and so was Wu Dui, because Xuanda’s dependence on silver was getting heavier and heavier.

To this end, Wu Dui also specially requested an imperial edict from the court, stipulating that prices would last forever, from potatoes, sweet potatoes, rice and grain to various vegetables between Xuanda, and those who violated the law would be punished.

Xuanda is still under the control of the court, because although there are many factories there, those factories are directly under the court. The military weapon bureau, textile factory, and coal factory managers are all newly established officials of the court, and the goods produced in the end also belong to the court, which is easier for the court in terms of management.

Advantages and disadvantages are obvious. When production can be maintained and the market still exists, workers will be able to maintain profits from drought and flood; but once the market collapses and the income and expenditure of Xuanda are not offset, workers will not get wages and have no land to support themselves. All this will be borne by the court.

That was a one-year wage of millions of taels, not just a disaster that could provide relief for more than 100,000 taels of silver.

But the situation in Guangdong is different. Except for the Xiangshan Shipyard, Nanyang Welding Factory, Nanyang Military Welding Bureau, Nanyang Military Welding Bureau, and Nanyang Military Welding Bureau, Nanyang Military Welding Bureau, Nanyang Military Welding Factory, the remaining factories are no less than 800, and all of them are merchants.

For example, Foshan Iron Factory jointly established a factory for 120 households and iron households; Xinhui Longhu Shipyard, 37 households in Xinhui, was looted 124 fishermen, seven Taoist priests, and three novelists. It was originally named Longhu Daojun Shipyard, right next to the Longhu Zhenjun Temple. Because of his superstition of lewd sacrifice, he was ordered to change his name by the government.

This is the case with factories all over Guangzhou Prefecture, either jointly run by the people, or jointly run by merchants, or unemployed officials and the people. The relationship is complicated, and with Chen Mu's full support, all kinds of factories are in full swing, and there is no risk of bankruptcy - a large number of raw materials are transported from all over the country, including overseas, and the products are sold to various places. If they really can't be sold, they are piled in Haojing, and there is always a big blessing ship that can transport them away.

With such confidence that comes from nowhere, people are like crazy.

This trend even affected Fujian, Guangxi, Jiangxi, and Huguang. However, most of those places were not affected by Chen Mu. Even if they had influence, they were extremely limited. Officials held high priority and strictly prohibited the opening of factories. This led to the formation of the primitive industrial and commercial circle radiating the entire Guangdong with Guangzhou Prefecture as the center.

Following the strict law prohibiting opening of factories, people were prohibited from moving. People were too serious in pursuing profits and they had to flee to Guangdong to open factories after leaving their hometowns. The government has repeatedly banned them, and the adjacent provinces have experienced the problem of land desolation of varying degrees. However, there is no danger. People rushed to sell the land, which lowered the land prices and would not seem to shake the country's foundation in a short period of time.

There are always fish that miss the net. Gao Gong wrote a letter to Chen Mu's uncle, asking the Shaw clan to close the Shaw shipyard in Fujian. It was difficult for the Fujian governor to directly manage it, so he could only write a letter to the Nanyang Military Palace.

In the past, poor people would become refugees after land annexation, but now poor people give up as tenants and land annexation occurs.

"well!"

Gao Gong sighed long, he didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing. If it weren't for Chen Mu, he would just need a letter from the court to close all factories. But the problem was that Chen Mu stood behind those factories without saying a word. He never waved his flag and shouted, but anyone with a discerning eye knew that he was fighting everywhere to find raw materials to buy land for these factories that were like mushrooms after the rain and sell land.

Land annexation, which has been paid the most attention to in all dynasties, is becoming more and more serious.

More importantly, just a few days ago, Gao Gong had just ordered that no one in the military guards should send letters to Chen Mu in Myanmar without privately sending letters to Chen Mu in Myanmar. All letters must be reviewed by the Jinyiwei. He dared not write to ask Chen Mu about these issues.

For no other reason, Yan Qingyao was about to give birth. This matter was the top priority of the entire Nanyang Military Palace. Mr. Gao was particularly concerned and made a special trip to convene the 17 most famous Wenpo from Guangdong. The military guards prepared two small banners of gynecologists, and did not dare to let Chen Mu know the news to affect his judgment in the war.

"I can only wait until this little handsome man comes back!"

Note: Gynecology Department—In the fifth year of Longqing in the Ming Dynasty, the Imperial Hospital transformed the thirteen departments into the eleven departments.
