Chapter 712 Everything starts at the end

My nephew was beaten and sent to Tianjin Wei's village for labor. After all, the few who were grateful to the Luo family were the ones who were inevitably grateful, and resentment was inevitable.

But thinking about Sun Yonggang, a descendant of Ning Xibo, who was beaten on the street that day, everyone gritted their teeth and endured it. If they really didn't know that they would come to the door to cause trouble, they would probably cause even greater disasters.

But the street lieutenants of the Jinyiwei Police Department walked on the street, and encountered those who were extorted, thieves, robbed in the street, and bullying the weak. They reached out to take care of them and brought the prisoners to justice. Of course, the people they rescued were very grateful. Some stores were forced to give plaques, some wine and meat to reward them.

A plaque, whether it is black-based, red-shaped or gold-shaped, will not be less than five taels of silver. If it is slightly better, it will cost more than ten taels of silver.

Someone spread the news to Wang Tong, and Wang Tong said with a smile:

"If I continue to send this, wouldn't there be plaques in the Jinyiwei Yamen's duty room? Just give me a flag."

Wang Tong said casually about the pennant, but the person who asked was a little confused. He didn't know what it was. He had to ask a few more questions. Wang Tong explained:

"A square flag with praise written on it, it saves money and expresses gratitude."

When this was passed, someone naturally followed suit. The store first took over the sale and said thanks and praises, and they made it.

Even the business of the advocacy team in the capital has improved a lot. If you want to send things to the Jinyiwei Yamen, you can't go there for nothing. You have to play and beat them up and make a sound, and there will be glory in both sides.

The Jinyiwei turned out to be extremely bad in the capital and even in the world. To put it as a "hawk" it is already a compliment without prejudice. He thought that these people were the most shameless and evil villains. In the past, the Jinyiwei's performance was indeed worthy of this name. He liked to take advantage of small gains, bully good people, and was timid and afraid of things. He never cared about theft and robbery. Such people would not look at them directly.

Since the establishment of the Police Force and the Street, we have done a lot of things to do to act bravely, punish evil and promote good, and to be serious about the law, and everyone's feelings for them have also changed a little bit.

However, after all, there have been only a few months like this, and some deep-rooted concepts will not be changed for a while. However, the old lady of the Luo family sent a plaque to the Jinyiwei yamen. Thanks to the Jinyiwei for disciplined her own slut, but it was a story that was talked about on the streets and alleys. The prodigal son turned around and was not exchanged for gold. Everyone was most willing to listen to and talk about such things.

The capital officialdom was originally chaotic because of Wei Yunzhen's memorials, and mourned the passing of Xu Jie, a veteran of the two dynasties and the famous minister of the world. They kept shouting and couldn't care about anything else.

I didn't notice the changes in the hearts of the Jinyiwei in the capital. Having said that, even if there were not so many chaotic things, no one would notice them.

Shima Lane is the most prosperous street in the capital. It is adjacent to this street and even separated by two streets, which are very lively and prosperous. The ground and shops are much cheaper than Shima Lane. In June, I didn’t know that the Haoke came there and bought a very large place.

I thought it was to be used to open a shop to do business, but after the house inside was demolished, the outside was built with wooden poles and bamboo frames, surrounded by tarpaulins, so that people could not see clearly what was inside. I saw trucks of wood and bricks pulled in from outside the city all day long, and the sound was jingling.

Except for other places in the capital, of course no one pays attention to you, but in the capital, you surround such a large area, but don’t let anyone see what you do inside. If there is a department, you will come and ask. The Jinyiwei School Captain who patrols the streets went in and asked, and then ignored it again. The Five City Military Officers also came to ask, and the Shuntian Mansion also came to ask, and they also ignored it after asking, and they would do whatever they should do.

I have never seen any scenes in the capital. When I saw that the yamen in various places were like this, I knew that this background was probably very impressive. All yamen in various places could not afford to offend them, and there was no need to worry about any chaos in it.

These days, the opera troupes are really good, good at singing and performing well. They will not make money by appearing on the street, but are raised by wealthy families. In addition to performing, the small operas in the opera troupe will sometimes become concubines of wealthy families. As for those musicians and musicians, they all have a lot of income, and their food and clothing cost is much better than those of medium-sized wealthy families.

But those who set up a stage to perform in teahouses and restaurants will be much different. Not to mention the noisy eating and drinking, no one pays attention to you. The profit from performing is just a food and clothing. If you want to make more money, don’t think about it. Occasionally, some rich families will do birthdays, some villages to worship gods, and invite teams to sing some big shows. This is a good deal.

Because it is difficult to make a living, there is not so much attention. The large opera troupes need to be elegant and have a particular literary style. These opera troupes can sing whatever they want, erotic lyrics and slutty songs, and swear songs. Only when they support them in the audience can they earn some rewards.

It was also in early July that two troupes who had worked hard to survive in the south city of the capital suddenly disappeared. Without these two teams, it made it very inconvenient for some families who were looking for churches and a teahouse and restaurants. Although these two companies are grass-roots teams, their singing skills are pretty good. They often produce new songs, and the guests are still supporting them. However, they do not make much money. It is said that only during the singing meeting can you see some meat and fish, which is very bitter. Such a team is indeed a pity, but it will disperse. There are many such teams in the capital, and it is not bad for this company to find something else.

Tianjin Wei’s Sanjiang Commercial Bank has been doing a big business, which means that in the past five or six years, it is like selling and selling. Needless to say, the business on the sea is full of business in Xuanfu, Jizhen, Datong and Liaozhen. Every day, it is full of money from the family.

Anyone who has been on the ground of Tianjin Wei for five years remembers that Tianjin Wei did not have the Sanjiang Trading Company at that time, but Tonghai, Jinhe and Yongsheng were the three companies.

In just a few years, these three merchants either disappeared or were taken down by Sanjiang Business. Now outsiders who are doing business in Tianjin Wei are sometimes unwilling to deal with Sanjiang Business, so they go to other homes, or old customers of Tonghai, Yongsheng and Jinhe are unwilling to rotate.

However, they didn't know that these three companies were already the industries of Sanjiang Commercial Bank. These three merchants had several old relationships that Sanjiang Commercial Bank could not compare with. For example, the grassland departments in the north of Datong border town have been doing business with these three merchants for many years. Many merchants from Datong Town also purchased goods from these three companies.

After the tenth year of Wanli, Tonghai, Jinhe and Yongsheng's business on the grassland was hindered. I don't know why, because the Tartars did not do business with these three companies.

This situation is easy to solve. It is nothing more than changing the name, and even opening a warehouse store in Datong Prefecture and Taiyuan Prefecture, and then transporting and selling the goods.

Ma Dong, the former deputy general of Datong Town, now temporarily acting as the general, always cared for the business of Sanjiang Commercial Bank. With this care, even the Tartars on the grassland will have to give face.

The grassland is different from the Ming Dynasty. At least there is a rule of law in the Ming Dynasty. Some people plunder caravans in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the local tolerances, and even officers and soldiers will go to arrest them. It is always the ends of the world, and there is no place for you to run, but the grassland is different. This is the territory of the barbarians of the Tartars, not the land of kingship. Although most of the Altan tribes have set rules, the vast grassland is like the sea. The wandering horse bandits and robbers, and some small tribes, will rob them if they rob them. They will kill and hurt people and expose their bodies in the wilderness, and there will be no place to reason. Then the government will sue you, let alone rob them and run away. There is a rumor there.

Some generals directly under Altan's department led cavalry out to do their jobs privately, and there was no place to reason, so they could only accept it with their noses. However, the grassland was extremely dependent on various goods from the Ming Dynasty, and merchants did not dare to come, which was equivalent to destroying their own interests. Such things were not excessive.

Sanjiang Trading Company used to do business on the grasslands and caravans, but nothing happened. However, in July of the 11th year of Wanli, the businessmen on Tianjin Wei knew that many caravans of Sanjiang Trading Company had been robbed on the grasslands north of Datong. Speaking of which, Tianjin Wei had the ability to do business with the Tartars in Datong, which was the Sanjiang Trading Company.

Since they were robbed and the business still had to continue, they had to find some ways to protect them. So Sanjiang Trading Company contacted the cavalry and horse team and asked them to send someone to help.

The Huwei Army was divided into two regiments, but the horse team and artillery team were not in the organization. In a strict sense, the horse team was a guardian team supported by Sanjiang Trading Company. Since it was not in the organization, it was naturally not under the control of the government. If it spent other people's money, it naturally had to help with things. He immediately set aside hundreds of cavalry to go to the guards.

These hundreds of cavalry were divided into several teams, but this scene still shocked the merchants in various parts of Tianjin Guard. It was a big deal. Even the cavalry guards were all one man and two horses, with complete armor. Such a guard would not be bad even if he was a personal soldier for the generals, but he actually went to guard the caravan.

When the first team of guards passed by the capital, Ma Sanbiao and more than a dozen people met with them and rushed to Datong, Shanxi.
