Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-One Famous and Participating Spending for the Public
A prisoner, another barbarian, died if he died. Although it was a bit disappointing, it was just a disappointing one, and no one would worry much about him.
There were even people in the court who were secretly happy. If the emperor offered prisoners in the Taimiao, then His Majesty's reputation would be further increased and the warriors would become more uncontrollable. What would the court do?
The news that Jit was poisoned to death gradually became known. After the victory, no one wanted to be unhappy by this matter, so he suppressed it.
The personal soldier in charge of escorting was sent to the most miserable fortress in Jizhen as the chief officer. After completing this term, the magistrate of Shunyi County was transferred to a poor place in Shaanxi to be a magistrate, which was similar to exile.
The matter was handled in a low-key manner, and tacitly suppressed by all parties. However, Qi Jiguang and Li Rusong were still scared into a cold sweat after knowing the truth. The Taimiao prisoner was offered. This ceremony was very glorious even for the emperor. What's more, the young emperor like Wanli who had studied at the Huwei Wu Pavilion should be more harsh, and everyone might not be able to keep his mind. Fortunately, it is now Empress Dowager Li, Eunuch Feng, and Old Zhang Gezheng. They do not value such things very much, or they do not want Wanli to take advantage of this matter too glorious.
But this is all a story. In the second month of the first lunar month, the whole world was attracted by the great victory outside the wall of the Miyun defender. This was a great victory that had not been seen since the Xuande year. Qi Jiguang was originally a famous general in the world. Li Rusong was the eldest son of the general. He occupied a lot of great military achievements in Liaozhen.
It is reasonable to lead the army to win this battle outside the Miyun defender. Everyone thought that the famous general was indeed outstanding.
The Ministry of War has named this victory "Gubei Great Victory". With the light of these two people covering up, everyone is not so careful about the Huwei Army having participated in this battle.
Intentionally or unintentionally, the imperial guards even went out to the frontier to experience training and were besieged by the Tartars. Then Qi Jiguang, the general of Ji Town, and Li Rusong, the general of Xuanfu, calmly dispatched them and used the tricks, which instead annihilated most of the Tartars, hurting the vitality of the Tartars.
In this hustle and bustle, far away in Fenzhou, Shanxi, the gate of Yongsheng Bo Mansion was closed during the first lunar month of the twelfth lunar month.
During the Chinese New Year in the first lunar month, Yongsheng Bo Mansion did not have any celebration. Instead, he prepared a carriage and horse, as if he was going to travel far away. Some people also saw this.
But after a while, everything happened again in Yongsheng Bo’s Mansion, and a banquet was welcomed by guests, and a certain general in Datong also had some abnormal movements.
All of these are in Shanxi, and they returned to normal in the first month of the year. When everyone is happy about the victory, even if someone knows it, they will not pay attention, and will not be taken to the table to discuss it.
After the 20th day of the first lunar month, although the court did not have a clear document, the news had already spread. Qi Jiguang, general of Jizhen, and Li Rusong, general of Xuanfu, both received the title of Count. Qi Jiguang was the Yibei Bo and Li Rusong was the Zhongbei Bo. The troops led by him were rewarded and rewarded.
Although the Huwei Army was ignored intentionally or unintentionally, the real level of the thousands of goods brought back were not fake. Even if they were pressed, they would have to give an explanation, not to mention that Emperor Wanli and Zhang Cheng were always putting pressure on them.
Wang Tong joined the Jinyiwei to command Tongzhi, and was General Xuanwu. This was from the fourth rank of the rank. Although it was a virtual position, many of the ranks obtained by Qianhu were from the seventh and eighth ranks. Wang Tong was awarded the ranks for the first time, and he was from the fourth rank.
However, this level of the fourth grade can be said to be useful or useless. If you don’t have any rights, it is equivalent to a title. If you keep your word, the level of the level of the level of the level of the level of your actual job is.
Li Hutou, Li Tao, Sun Xin and others were also given the so-called General Wude this time.
The Ministry of War Military Selection Office reviewed the merits and found that Tan Bing had already had a grade of thousands of households. This time he was also given a rank from the fifth grade, which was a compliment. The rest of the people were promoted, both big and small.
The Tan family members took these things lightly. Li Hutou and others were also confident in their hearts after receiving the promise of Emperor Wanli, and Wang Tong could afford it.
In addition to this, the private positions of Haihe Inspection and Canal Inspection have obtained legal status and set up the Tianjin Department of the Imperial Horse Supervisor in Tianjin.
The Ministry of Revenue has thirteen departments named after the thirteen provinces in the north and south of the world, each with its own affairs. Although the Imperial Horse Supervision is in charge of the income and expenditure of the internal affairs, it is really inappropriate to set up such a Tianjin department. However, the establishment of internal supervision agencies is much more convenient than adding a yamen to the six departments of the outer court.
Moreover, there are millions of taels of gold, flowers and silver sent to the palace every year in each checkpoint of Tianjin. With such a large amount, it is also necessary to set up an inner court yamen here.
The Tianjin Department has a Haihe Inspection and a Canal Inspection. Each of them has two deputy inspectors, the eighth-rank inspector, and each of them has fifteen servants. They set up checkpoints in the canal and Haihe River to collect taxes, and are allowed to recruit private men and soldiers as idle and cooperate with all matters.
Because the Tianjin eunuch is responsible for collecting the treasury, the amount is huge and it is also the top priority, so the eunuch in charge is Zhang Cheng, the eunuch in charge of the Sili Supervisor, and is under the jurisdiction of Wang Tong, a Qianhu, a Jinyiwei stationed in Tianjin.
This inappropriate inner court office brought real benefits to Wang Tong. Haihe Inspection and Canal Inspection were originally privately appointed by Wang Tong, and there was no official clear recognition of the establishment of card taxes. It was not justified to place the trustees there, and they were all strongly maintained. Now at least there is an argument.
The inspector, the deputy inspector, had a total of six people and thirty servants, which was nothing. However, the permission to recruit civilians made the guards of the Tianjin Security Army and the Chuantou Xiangzhong become official recruited gangs, and they had a semi-legal identity.
The greater benefit Wang Tong got was that the appointment and establishment of the organization of Emperor Wanli were equivalent to asking about other income besides the tax revenue of setting up a card.
Although in the future, part of the income from Haihe River will be transferred to the port, and Haihe Inspection will definitely take into account the port, the majority of the income will be the rental of shops in various places, the trade between sea and several special items of goods, which are the transactions of gold and silver.
Originally, the legalization of tax cards in various departments of Tianjin Wei and the establishment of the Tianjin Department would definitely strive to oppose it. However, the few cards on Tianjin Wei have actually existed for a long time, and there was also the great victory in Gubeikoubei. If Wang Tong was not promoted and rewarded for military merit, he would always make concessions in other aspects.
In fact, some officials from the Ministry of Science and Technology submitted a memorial to agree, saying that it is better to set up an official office in the court and use laws and regulations to restrict it. This is the way for both officials and the people to benefit.
Because of the proposals of these Qingliu people, Wanli even wanted to set up a single yamen similar to the Salt Transport Department in Tianjin. However, he tentatively asked the cabinet bosses, but he was firmly resisted to go back.
Although the court boycotted this time, they were all Grand Secretary and Monks. The group of ministers spoke out, and the middle and low-level bureaucrats such as Langguan and Kedaoguan were low-key.
"Sir, Xu Guangguo returned to Tianjin Wei the day before yesterday and wrote off 5,470 taels of silver from his subordinates. One thousand four hundred taels was the expense of buying a house and buying a man. The rest were banquets and gifts. The subordinates accepted the orders, but Xu Guangguo was left and waited for the adults' inquiry."
After Sun Dahai finished speaking, he handed over a thin account book. Wang Tong took it to search. The lines on it were clearly written. It was nothing more than the details purchased in major shops in the capital. He also understood it with someone, but there was no high-quality official.
"Xu Guang, the State Council, should spend money, but judging from this attitude, it is obvious that he is spending money on his own with the money he has made. It is really unreasonable."
Although Sun Dahai and Zhang Shiqiang are old and have high status, they respect the scholars around Wang Tong and always have to add the title of gentleman, but they look down on Xu Guangguo. This person had previously speculated on setting up a card, but later Wang Tong was looking for a job, and now he spends money in the capital, so how can Sun Dahai, the housekeeper, beholder?
Wang Tong looked through a few pages, and he often read the account details of Sanjiang Commercial Bank. He probably remembered the price of the goods. He couldn't tell anything wrong with the details of Xu Guangguo's spending in his hand. He raised his hand to stop Sun Dahai's words and said:
"Call Zhang Shiqiang!"
Sun Dahai quickly bowed and stepped back and went to call for someone, but he was a little puzzled. After talking for a long time, why did Xu Guangguo call Zhang Shiqiang?
When Zhang Shiqiang called out, Wang Tongyang asked:
"Xu Guangguo spent money in the capital, how do you send people to repay?"
"He did buy the maids and servants in the house. He lived a frugal life on weekdays. He didn't buy gifts or anything else. He would take his servants with him when making accounts, and never avoided people."
Wang Tong nodded. Xu Guangguo went to the capital. Of course, Wang Tong could not let him leave no one there, and he also had a slut. Hearing Zhang Shiqiang say this, Wang Tong probably had a background in his heart.
"This time, Qingliu spoke to us for the first time. I wonder if it was your credit?"
Hearing Wang Tong say this, Xu Guangguo, who was kneeling on the ground, had a look of complacent on his face. Wang Tong smiled and continued:
"Or your camp, or those officials have business on our side, and they care about interests, so they stand up and speak."
Seeing Xu Guangguo bowing his head, Wang Tong said with a smile:
"Some people say you spend too much money in the capital, and say you are doing things in it, don't rush to distinguish it. When you interact with those officials, you have to be so dignified and decent, right? You pay for your own accounts and pay money everywhere, so that you can follow me and make a certificate, right?"
“What the master said!”
Unexpectedly, Wang Tong understood the key points so well. Xu Guangguo was stunned for a moment before answering. Wang Tong nodded with a smile and said:
"Others say you, I believe in you, and I will spend as much as I want. As long as it is used on official business, I will withdraw it. If you do it with your heart, I will definitely be rich and honored here!"
