The four hundred and fortieth chapters are all for the hearts of the people
"...I will live up to you and your family, don't worry!!"
On the school grounds north of Tianjin Acropolis, Wang Tong said in a solemn voice on the wooden platform. After saying that, he bowed down in the north direction. The drum music board behind him rolled up a tone of sorrow and music. The families of the soldiers who died in battle cried there.
During the battle outside the frontier, the formation of the Huwei Camp has not been dispersed, and in the cover of the chariot formation, the soldiers were not killed or injured. The six killed in battle were all killed by arrows shot in from outside by the Tartars.
When I returned to Tianjin Wei, because it was almost March, countless merchants came to Tianjin Wei. Those with great prominence came to invite him, but Wang Tong refused.
The labor craftsmen who were building the horse farm there were urgently transferred back nearly a thousand people, and wanted to build a ancestral hall outside the school ground to become a temple of heroes, specializing in tablets for soldiers who died in the battle in Huwei Camp.
Wang Tong also carefully invited people to discuss the funeral ceremony. Although many people couldn't figure it out, Wang Tong was not a little careless.
On the second day of March, the entire Huwei Camp gathered and stood on the school ground. Wang Tong loudly told the bravery of these soldiers who died in battle, and gave their own pensions and rewards to their families... Finally, several cannons fired in unison. "Third brother, have you seen that the waists on the upper and lower parts of Huwei Camp were much straightened. Even when the master Fu Dian was in his mind, he did not come up with such a way!"
"Brother, looking at the security guards and the fragrant young people around, those young and strong who were watching the fun everywhere, bang, his face was full of envy and his blood was boiling, and he was afraid that they would die at this time.
The speakers were General Tan and Tan Bing. They clearly observed that in such a solemn ceremony, the soldiers all raised their chests, while the young and strong boys watching around were envious.
This is a sense of belonging, a kind of honor, and it makes each of them feel that it is worth doing so, and it is a kind of honor to die for such an army and collective.
Some people also saw the silver coins under Wang Tong’s personal hands and the treatments he said. It is false to have soldiers killed in battle and enter the ancestral hall to enjoy incense and worship. However, it is real to have 50 years of tax exemption from the family, and the children of martyrs’ families have various priority.
For example, the hottest industry in Tianjin now is to work in various shops and shops. If you go to work, you must have a guarantor and a certificate issued by the yamen. In addition, it is also good to work in various yamen that collect money and manage business in the inner and outer city of Jinyi Alumina City, but this is more stringent.
The families and children of the lie family are guaranteed by the Tianjin Jinyiwei and proved by the Tianjin Jinyiwei that they are serving as a military officer and are given priority for recruitment. If there is any dispute with others, the Tianjin Jinyiwei will support them. Although these conditions have a certain age, they are really wealthy, just like someone in the family who passed the exam for fame. "Oh, with such conditions, it is worth sending a son to die."
"Depending on your virtue, you send your son, it's not necessary for the other party to send him. However, I heard that I can get enough money for this Huwei Camp, and I can win a lot of money, and I can win battles. It's not a bad thing to be a soldier here...-"
Not only the military generals present were talking, but even the people watching outside had their own feelings. No matter what, the memorial ceremony was very effective.
But when they dispersed, General Tan and Tan Bing walked behind. General Tan's family had a high status in the imperial concubine and Huwei Camp, and everyone admired him. They had something to talk about, but the others avoided him. "Third brother, there are a few more soldiers like Huwei Camp, which can be called a strong army in the world!" "Not only, not only, I heard from Lord Wang that if he followed his statement, it would be really hard to think about in a few years." Listening to Tan Bing's evaluation, General Tan smiled and nodded and said in a deep voice:
"Since that's the case, you and Tan Jian don't have to report everything. Isn't such a strong army and horse just what the old man wants? Lord Wang is young and he is inevitably a little ignorant of his work. If there is a thing that is not in line with the minds of the nobles in the capital, it will be so dispersed: i;...r..." Speaking of this, Tan's tone became more earnest and said, "It's rare that Lord Wang is young, but he is loyal to the emperor and the country, and has no selfish thoughts. Third brother, you and fifth brother should not keep an eye on it so tightly."
Tan Bing and Tan Jian both have the identities of Dongchang and Jinyiwei. They used to monitor Tan Lun, the Minister of War, but now they are monitoring Wang Tong. The trial season is still good, but the matter at the Xuanfu level is really too sensitive. Although Wang Tong has his own reasons, if he is a little careless, he may be unlucky and may cause trouble.
But when we arrived at Tianjin Guard, the news from the capital was coming continuously, indicating that the news from there was probably sent over when Huwei Camp left Xuanfu.
With General Tan's knowledge, he knew that Wang Tong was doing things in Tianjin wards that benefited the country, the people and the army, but Wang Tong had a good relationship with the big bosses in the capital. If Tan Bing was allowed to spread such news, Tan Jian would keep spreading, and anyone would pick a problem, and it would cause disaster and everything would disappear. Tan Bing stopped there, sank for a while, then turned around and smiled bitterly:
"Brother, I have a job, and I often have no choice but to let Lao Wu and I. Brother, do you think that the only one in Tianjin harbor is the only one who is staring at Lord Wang? If our brothers report it, there will be a few good things. Others report it but don't know how to say it, and they say it again. Lord, he really doesn't know about this, I'm afraid it's more when passing the message!"
"Master, Sanjiang Trading Company, small trading company and Boss Zhang's trading company, the surplus at the end of the year has come out. Please take a look at it."
When I returned to Tianjin, the military affairs were orderly, but civil and business had accumulated a lot of things. I commemorate the heroes at the school during the day and hold a banquet in my private house at night.
It’s not about greeting the wind, but about using this private banquet to touch some of them in advance. Yingyu is just a piece of white paper, but the handprints of Gu Zibin and Zhang Chunde were underneath to show that they were correct.
Seeing the number on the paper, Wang Tong raised his eyebrows, handed the paper to Yang Sichen beside him and put it away, and smiled and said, "I didn't expect to make so much!" Zhang Chunde became more honest and honest, while Gu Zibin was relaxed. Seeing that Wang Tong was quite satisfied, he smiled and said:
"We have done a lot of businesses early and familiar. Tianjin Wei has a big business. When the customer introduces customers, it doubles and grows like a snowball. In addition, when we go to Liaofu, our family has the most goods. In addition, we have the master's relationship, many wealthy merchants in Liaofu have ordered goods with us. After the goods are fully prepared, they have to go again. They have to make the business mature. I don't know how much they will earn." Gu Zibin was proud of his words, and Zhang Chunde was also interested and said:
"Maybe I don't know that the various prefectures in the Northern Zhili provinces, including Xuanfu and Jifu, many merchants come to Tianjin Wei and recognize our business. Some merchants would rather spend more money than buy the goods we handle. They are all powerful!"
Originally, both of them wanted to call the master, but Zhang Chunde's daughter married Ma Sanbiao. With this relationship, she called the adult. After they said that, they saw Wang Tong smiling and looked at each other. Gu Zibin said:
"This time, when the young man went out to celebrate the Chinese New Year at home, he calculated the profits of the insurance bank's construction and rent. It was really scary. The master also saw the money we made. The insurance bank can take out money to do it, and our family can also take out money to do it. Why make money for other families in Tianjin Wei? These merchants will withdraw the money and leave when they encounter any trouble. It would be better if we make this money and let the master do something big." Wang Tong picked up the teacup and drank it. He shook his head and said:
"No need, it's enough to make money by taking business with Liaodong. We need to make money from leveling the land, opening plots, and building shops. Even if we want to do it, it will take five years at the latest. When the plate is big, we will get one more piece, and others won't feel anything?"
Although Tianjin and Wei are booming today, they are just starting out, and everything is still unstable. Wang Tong is trying to attract merchants from all over the world to come, give them an environment to make money with peace of mind, and give them the opportunity to make money. Sanjiang Trading Company is rich and powerful. If you intervene in those profitable businesses now, it will naturally make a big profit, but it will also make many people afraid to enter Tianjin and dare not do business for fear of Sanjiang Trading Company fighting.
Although there are huge profits in the short term, it is not a long-term solution. Wang Tong naturally will not adopt the idea of using insurance companies to win over the hearts of Tianjin Weihao merchants. Everyone in the room knows it. Seeing Wang Tong insisting, they no longer say anything.
Gu Zibin drank the wine, changed the topic directly, and said:
"Master, now the ship goes to Liaoyou, buys goods, brings the specialties and big wood there, and comes back with it, which means bringing a full ship of silver. But we only have eight aluminum ships in our hands. If we want to load more, we can only hire those sea ships. If we hire more, we may be familiar with this road. We will definitely grab business at that time." Wang Tong heard this and then closed it and sighed, "There are indeed not many ways to do this ship. Sanshui 5-pin tightly, and it is really hard to find a ship craftsman. Let's wait until the sea is opened, and then think of a way!" After saying this, Zhang Shiqiang said in a muffled voice:
"Sir, there are not enough people who collect Ping An Prophets in the canal and Haihe River. There are too many places to collect money. There are too few people in our country. Some people cannot receive money, and some people cannot embezzle money, but they cannot summon money. There will definitely be big trouble in the future. You must make an idea as soon as possible." "This is simple, open a school, and specializes in teaching people to settle accounts and check the money."
