In August of the 11th year of Wanli, the capital was already a little cold sooner or later, and the Jinyiwei's affairs were getting on track, and Wang Tong had less and less busy things. Since the second half of July, the envoys sent to Tianjin Wei from Wang Tong to report to Tianjin Wei and officials of all sizes and big and small to report to Tianjin Wei.

The training intensity of the artillery team of Tianjin Weihuwei Army has also increased, and the standing forces of the security army have also strengthened training. A group of personnel in Sanjiang Trading Company who specialize in serving the Huwei Army began to count the accumulated arms in the treasury, and the military supplies in the Huwei Army have also begun to count the equipment and exchange defective products.

Sanjiang Jiangfang began to work overtime again, producing various items, and several farms started to store grain in the grain garrisons, everything was in full swing.

After coming to the capital, despite the busy official duties, Wang Tong's daily training time was still not reduced. Starting from the second half of July, Wang Tong and his personal guards also increased the training volume. Fortunately, the young people were strong and able to withstand it.

Yang Sichen also has an errand now. Every day, he takes a carriage to a farm outside the west gate of the capital. He stays in that farm for a while, asks about the farm harvest and other things on the farm, and then returns by carriage.

Wang Tong is now a force in the capital, so naturally there are people of all kinds of people staring at him. Although Yang Sichen is a juren, everyone knows that this juren is Wang Tong's assistant and a figure like a master. Such a person, with Wang Tong's wealth, can be bought by him for thousands of acres of land. Why do you go to this village to care about such trivial matters? The matter is strange, but you can't see any other problems, so you no longer pay attention to the work.

What they didn't know was that the people sent by Sanjiang Trading Company and Wang Tong to Shanxi came to the capital to report that they would stay in this village at night, and then meet Yang Sichen the next day.

The messengers who communicate with Tianjin Wei every time they come in and out, and those who communicate with Shanxi are the same now...

After the routine report every day, Yang Sichen had another task, which was to tell Wang Tong the allusions of the rules and stories in the Ming Dynasty officialdom. After so long, Wang Tong found that he had to learn too much. After all, it was such a big yamen that was concerned about the world. There were so many things that were complicated and we had to understand them more.

"After Xu Jie left the cabinet, he managed his family business at home, which is interesting. When Yan Song was in power, everyone in the world said that Yan Song was greedy and Xu Jie was praised by scholars. However, Yan Song's family business after he was resigned from prime minister was not even a quarter of the family business after Xu Jie retired... At that time, Emperor Shizong built a palace and temple view, and Yan Song submitted a memorial to object, so he fell out of favor. Xu Jie asked his son Xu Fan to serve as the Minister of Works to take charge of the matter. After the repair, Xu Bo returned to Songjiang. Some people said that the Xu family became rich in this project."

Yang Sichen sat upright, sorting the texts or adding marks, while opening his mouth to Wang Tong, saying that Xu Jie passed away, and the evaluations given by the court in the palace were very high, so Wang Tong naturally had to understand them. Since Yang Sichen drew a clear line by Shen Shixing, he has become much more free and easy, saying that such allusions will not be bound by official remarks, and there are some allusions.

"Zhang Juzheng cleared his ranks of land in the world to investigate the land that ordinary people had entrusted to wealthy families. Xu Jie was in Songjiang Prefecture. Even in Nanzhili, he was a person with a word of contention. Who could offend him? There was a lot of land in all directions. Moreover, Songjiang Prefecture was the richest place in the world. One acre of land here was enough to match a few acres of northern land. But there were many people who defected to him. Even a powerful family could surpass the Xu family. It was swallowed up by his family. It is said that by the time of Longqing Nian, there were already more than 400,000 acres..."

Even if Wang Tong was used to seeing the role of a sea of ​​gold and silver, he was very surprised to hear this number. There were more than 400,000 acres of fertile land in Songjiang Prefecture. Perhaps there was not so much field in Songjiang Prefecture, but the Jiangnan area was not fertile land. These fields were treasure houses for making money. In addition to the fame of the Xu family, these were tax-free and even more unacceptable.

"Hai Rui was the governor of Yingtian. As soon as he arrived in Jiangnan, he sued the Xu family for occupying the fields. Hai Rui never vaguely said that the Xu family had spit out the fields they occupied. After the Xu family vomited tens of thousands of acres, Hai Rui still refused to stop and insisted on pursuing them to the end. As a result, the Xu family gave Dai Fengxiang 30,000 taels of gold. Then Dai Fengxiang impeached Hai Rui, saying that he was suspected of murdering his wife and concubines. The adults also knew that Zhang Juzheng could have where he could have.

The position is inseparable from Xu Jie's arrangements and support. Moreover, Hai Rui has no idea of ​​cliques, so Zhang Juzheng is afraid that Zhang Juzheng himself will not be at ease in the officialdom, so he will take this opportunity to let Hai Rui serve the people at home. There is another saying in Shilin that Xu Jie will follow Hai Rui, and he will be able to win the court's style. "It is quite appropriate, but now Zhang Juzheng is sick and Xu Jie is sick. Hai Rui, who lives in Nanjing, should have recovered."

"More than 400,000 mu, more than 400,000 mu, tsk, what a big house business, what a big house business!"

Wang Tong shook his head there and exclaimed, Yang Sichen picked up a copy of the text and expanded it, and placed it:

"There are all such wealthy families in Jiangnan. They say that going to be an official in the countryside is a joy in the world, but this year is not a high-ranking family. Who dares to be a local official in Jiangnan? There is a casual walk on the street, and maybe it is related to someone in the cabinet and can't afford to offend. The officials and masters in the yamen are all slaves and servants of local wealthy families. They can't control anything and are subject to restraint everywhere. Such an official position is naturally a chore."

These allusions sound quite interesting, and Wang Tong didn't feel bored. They said inside and outside that Xu Jie was a virtuous prime minister and deeply mourned him, but they didn't expect that there would be such a secret matter. He heard a lot of the name Hai Rui in that life. After hearing a few words, he asked again:

"These 30,000 taels should be extremely secret. How did this come about?"

"I don't know how many people hate Xu Jie in the south, so I must have found out. In addition, the student is a Qingke under Lord Shen's disciple, so I know some secret matters."

"This is something that can be written, and some people will definitely be willing to listen to it."

After Wang Tong said this, Yang Sichen agreed with a smile:

"If you want to make up such a play, I'm afraid the palace will not let you perform. Speaking of this, those people have read the student who wrote it. It was not bad at the beginning, but now it is more civilized. The students are reading this new book. This, you are an unfilial son and you have to be angry for your mother." What is the difference between this and in daily life?"

Hearing this, Wang Tong laughed loudly. After the laughter stopped, he said to Yang Sichen:

"We are just for the people of the village. If you can't understand it in a literary way, what's the use? Mr. Yang, you are obsessed with it. Every time you send these books to me, I ask them to read them to those who are not good at listening. I only look for those who are illiterate and have no knowledge. If you don't understand, I will go back to rewrite them. Now, I hear Mr. Yang say that the village customs, but I think I can almost use them."

After hearing Wang Tong's joke, Yang Sichen smiled a little embarrassedly and said:

"Whenever Bai Juyi wrote a poem, he had to read it to his mother. Only when the other party understood it would be considered as capable."

"If I say it, I will just say it to the old woman and say it's stingy, and I really can't understand it for a while."

After saying that, the two looked at each other and laughed out loud. Yang Sichen took out a copy of the case file beside him and handed it to Wang Tong and said:

"The Shanxi report I received yesterday was sorted out. The students have found out that 80% of the goods sold to the north were sold, and some were sold salt and cloth, but some were sold ironware, and some even deceived craftsmen to go out, saying that a blacksmith could exchange for ten horses. There were many blacksmiths in Lu'an, which is said to be a big business."

The smile on Wang Tong's face dissipated and gradually became gloomy. After hearing Yang Sichen's words, he sneered and said:

"Since that's the case, you don't have to worry about any innocent things, just do it."

Yang Sichen nodded, took a note, wrote the date on it, and handed it to Wang Tong. Wang Tong took out a seal to cover it, and Yang Sichen said again:

"The news will be heard from the capital in the afternoon, and the horses will be traveling around quickly. In five days, Shanxi will know."

The stamped note with the date is stamped. After Yang Sichen left Beijing to deliver the oral message, he had to take the note back and destroy it. The main purpose is to make a voucher. This is also the private rule of Wang Tong.

While I was talking, I heard footsteps outside, and someone stood at the door to report:

"Master, there is something wrong in Shanxi, and the report has been brought."

Wang Tong ordered that when Shanxi report to the Jinyiwei newspaper, he would inform him as soon as possible. The Department of History was responsible for handling the documents. Hou was really in charge of the matter. After the newspaper was available, he copied a copy and sometimes sent it directly. The news was indeed very convenient.

The inside answered, and the people outside dared to open the door. Yang Sichen went over to pick up the newspaper. Wang Tong took the newspaper and opened it directly and started to look relaxed. As he looked at it, his expression became solemn. Seeing that he finally closed the document, Wang Tong was full of joy. He stood up from his seat and walked a few steps back and forth, very excited.

"I was worried that I would go to Shanxi for no reason, so I would come here to send you something. God bless you!!"

While speaking, he handed the document to Yang Sichen. Yang Sichen opened it with some confusion. Wang Tong smiled and said:

"That day, Zhang Xueyan talked about the military expenses of the Nine Borders and the Lumi clan of the royal family. It was a coincidence that when it came to the Lumi clan of the royal family, Taiyuan Prefecture and Datong Prefecture started to have a quarrel. Such a matter was nothing more than the eunuchs or trusted ministers in the palace who could be investigated except for the official..."

He paused and said:
