Chapter 330: The dull world, no chatter

Teached a private port in Tangjiahe. There was no more Burgundy River in the north and south. If you want to buy, sell and unload goods, you can only be in Tianjin.

Fifteen ships were severely fined by Wang Tong. After the goods were brought back to Tianjin Acropolis, they were sold on the spot, and the price was 30% cheaper than the market price. Merchants in the city were rushing to buy them like crazy.

Not to mention these business people, even the residents in the city and pedestrians and merchants traveling north and south on the canal have come. The best southern goods are so cheap, and it is a fool to not buy them.

There are really a lot of goods brought by these fifteen sea ships, and it is approaching the twelfth lunar month, so everyone has a few extra money and wants to celebrate the New Year.

Not to mention the large-scale profitable goods of mercury and deer-skin in the shipment, even if there is 10% of the profits this time, it will make a small profit. The merchants' hearts are bleeding from Jiang's blood, but in order not to lose money this time, they should raise fines as much as possible to redeem the ship and cargo.

With just the money sold in such a batch of goods, plus various income such as taxation, Wang Tong gave another 100,000 taels of silver to the capital in November.

Originally, in the second half of the year, it was proposed to increase the amount of gold and silver by one million taels. The emperor patted his chest and said he would raise money by himself. Everyone thought it was a joke. Now, he planned to do so. Maybe the amount of money would be all out in March next year.

One million taels of silver, and tens of thousands taels in the treasury. Some of the nobles and officials in the capital were all moved, thinking about what kind of gold and silver there was in the Tianjin Wei area that could actually make so much money.

The rules of the officialdom are to give tens of tens to the superiors, and those who fall into their hands don’t have five points or threes, and those who are not in a bad mind can make tens. If this is the case, wouldn’t Wang Tong lose at least 300,000 taels in less than half a year?

Wang Tong still went online, and started taking over the Internet every month, and he was very knowledgeable about his status and status. Although the censors kept scolding, Wang Tong was not scratched on the ground in Tianjin. It is said that the money paid for business transactions is much less than before.

All of this shows the problem. The problem is that Tianjin is indeed a treasure land. As long as it goes, you will naturally have a lot of money. Now I heard that Haihe is building a lot of construction, and many businesses are using money to invest money to rent shops. There are so many businesses there. No matter how you look at it, you will be rich.

Now there are some lively people in the capital who are thinking about going to see it. Wang Tong is fat, but no one dares to touch this piece of meat on the tiger, but no one can stop him from investing money.

If you think a little longer, you will know that Tianjin Wei has opened the sea and a large number of southern goods will come from the sea. If you don’t take advantage of this time to get a spy there, it will be too late to start. I’m afraid you won’t make money and you will suffer a big loss.

The wealthy families in the capital have their own plans and ideas. The capital is smart and the rest is not stupid. People from Linqing, Jinan, Jining, Baoding in northern Zhili, and even Shanxi and Henan have received news. Everyone is going to come to Tianjin Wei to take a look. There are only so many ways to make money now. Tianjin suddenly pointed out a golden road to everyone. Isn’t it a pity to Lord Wang if I don’t come.

More than a dozen generals from the Zhun family followed Wang Tongkui for two years. They have been coaching in the Huwei Army. With their rich training experience and combat skills, they should have become generals long ago.

However, Wang Tong never gave them any title. He was just a teaching position. It was not until November that he sniped Li Dameng that his family was allowed to go deeper and lead troops. The position he gave was called the battalion deputy, responsible for training troops and fighting with assisting battalion officials. This arrangement was quite awkward. You should know that all the officers in the twenty battalions were almost trained by Wang Tong and Zhun’s generals, and they respectfully performed the rituals of master and apprentice on weekdays.

No matter how awkward it is, the generals of all families, who are at least 33 years old, still accepted this arrangement. In the past, Wang Tong did not even let them take charge of the troops, but now he has accepted that they have entered Wang Tong's core circle.

The veteran Yu Daou's spirit gradually weakened. However, his busyness was getting bigger and bigger. In addition to staring at the training of troops, he called the generals in the camp over and told them stories every day.

The old man is old and talks and repeats his words. Even if he is as strong as Yu Dazhuo, he is no exception. The first person who feels tired of it is Li Hutou

"It's interesting to ride a horse and hold a gun every day, urging the soldiers to practice hard, and listen to Grandpa Yu talk about what he does all day long."

This is what he said to Wang Tong. Wang Tong's answer was very simple, just slapped him hard according to the forehead. Li Hutou was so impatient, and it was not easy for him to calm down and sit down at the age of a while. He also had this attitude when he was listening to Huang Yang's marching class at the Huwei Martial Arts Hall that day.

"What Lord Yu said? Listen honestly and write it down. If you can't answer that day, I will ask you to go back to Beijing and accompany your father to patrol the streets!"

Wang Tong then threatened, Li Hutou led troops to fight in the Tianjin Huwei Army. Although he was tired and boring every day, he was very happy.

To be honest, the old Third Division is in charge of South Street. As a member of the Jinyiwei section of the Public Security Department, Jean-Hanhe is mostly swelling. However, Li Hu was born to like this military life. Secondly, he was unwilling to meet with Li Wenyuan, who was strict. This threat was very useful, and he immediately became honest.

Later, Wang Tong realized that the group of students who came out of the Huwei Martial Arts Hall, Li Tao, Sun Xin, etc., were unwilling to listen to this, so he urged Li Hutou to do this.

I had to call out these people and scold them.

However, the days of the Tianjin Acropolis Jinyiwei system have become dull. The sea boats dare not take any loopholes. They come honestly to unload and load goods and pay taxes. The construction by the Haihe River is progressing step by step. It is becoming more and more shaped. There are more and more merchants coming from all over the country. Everyone has seen the richest supply of southern goods and foreign goods in the north and the foreign goods, and also saw the merchants who have arrived here. Everyone has realized the huge business opportunities here.

The same is true for military training. Due to taboos and other considerations, the Tianjin Wei Jinyiwei Qianhu no longer recruits soldiers. However, the improvement of equipment has been carried out. Tang Jiahe's action made Wang Tong realize the role of horses on the motor power, and he began to buy available horses everywhere through merchants.

But the mule and horse markets in Shandong and Henan are also at the closure of business. It is not so easy to buy horses, so you can only let go of this matter.”

The plainness of Tianjin Wei seems to be very consistent with the trend. Except for the small disharmonious notes in the world, the rest are all running in the plan of Jiao Zhang Juzheng.

It seems that something is wrong to talk about the disharmony of Tianjin Wei. According to the trusted people of the Pavilion Master, the Pavilion Master is already considering adding taxes from officials everywhere to the assessment next year. Although the world tax is a fixed number, financial taxes are originally rules, and it is not wrong to be strict.

The normal operation of the world and everything in Tianjin became regular, but Emperor Wanli felt bored.

Tianjin Acropolis, which has always given him a sense of freshness, gave him a small surprise after siege of private ports and maritime merchants. Everything was carried out step by step. The regular papers were just about training today. There were several taxes today, and there were a few ships on the sea today. How to build today?

These things are the same as the major policies discussed at the daily court meeting. Although Wanli knew that these things were necessary and important, he really couldn't raise any interest.

The world has a mother, Feng Daban and Mr. Zhang, and Tianjin Wei is in order. Emperor Wanli feels that he has learned the means to govern the world and has the ability to balance the ministers. However, there is no place to use his skills, all he does is just sit there.

After all, Emperor Wanli was only fifteen years old. Since he was bored, he had to find some interesting things to do.

A queen with a scheming personality and an ordinary appearance could not raise any interest in Emperor Wanli. If the two empress dowagers were not staring at her, Wanli would not even want to sleep with her.

But Emperor Wanli felt that a wedding was a very good thing, because after the wedding, the empress dowager's routine day and night warning was no longer needed, and the time he could arrange himself increased greatly. He finally wanted to do something he wanted to do.

Although the imperial city is big, it is just like this. When you go out for a walk, there is no Wang Tong and Hu Weiwu Hall on the south street, which is no different from the imperial palace.

After Emperor Wanli was free for a few days, he spent most of his time in the imperial study room. Although it was boring to read the documentary and memorials of various places, he seemed not much fun to wander around.

On November 24th, the third snowfall since the beginning of winter in the capital was the largest. After two days and one night, the snow stopped at night, and the snow on both sides of the road could reach knee-deep snow. Of course, if Wanli had not given special instructions, the place would have been cleaned up long ago.

The lights in the imperial study were brightly lit. Emperor Wanli was reading Wang Tong's report alone in the imperial study, but Zhang Cheng was not there. As the end of the year approached, the Sili Superintendent and the six cabinet ministries had to calculate the annual expenses. The eunuchs and grand scholars who were always friendly with each other often had a red face and arguing when they wrote off the bill at the end of the year. But no one dared to ignore it. After all, this was how much responsibility they took on this year and how much money they spent the next year.

Feng Bao, Zhang Cheng, Zhang Hong and his team stayed up all night every night, and Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Siwei, and Shen Shixing were the same. Emperor Wanli was happy to be purified. He didn't have to worry about it anyway. Even if he was making a decision, Empress Dowager Cisheng, Li, made the idea.

"Long live the emperor, the Royal Horse Supervisor, Eunuch Sun Haisun, asked for a visit."

Zhao Jinliang made a meticulous announcement outside, and Wanli, who was drowsy by the calculation of Tianjin health revenue, was stunned. Sun Hai, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, was the direct descendant of Empress Dowager Li. What did he do?
