There is nothing strange about the news coming from all over the world. It was all within Wang Tong's expectations. After the Tianjin Wei opened its port, with the Tianjin Wei's strong commercial and handicraft capabilities, the Huwei Army also greatly strengthened. The Huwei Army destroyed the Altan tribe on the grassland, breaking the balance between the Ming and Mongolia. This series of things had an impact everywhere, causing changes in all aspects of the Ming Dynasty.

For example, in recent years, officials of the Ministry of Revenue in the court have paid more and more attention to commercial taxes. Scholars were originally ashamed of discussing profits and taxes, and felt that it was insulting to be gentle. Even a specialized yamen like the Ministry of Revenue was the same. However, some more professional officials have begun to discuss why Tianjin Wei has such a large income. The Ming Dynasty established seven tax customs on the canal, so why is the income so small?

The Ministry of Works also sent additional staff to the Tianjin Wei craftsman's craftsman's workshop. Everyone was doing things. Why was the Tianjin Wei Wang so outstanding? Other places were full of curses.

Nowadays, the army in the north applies for weapons and armor, and would rather spend money to buy them at Tianjin Harbour than take away the things in the arsenal for nothing.

After all, this shoddy thing may cause people to lose their lives once it goes to the battlefield, while the weapons and armor of Tianjin Guards can make contributions to their lives. Of course, these are all private soldiers and soldiers who give various military generals, and they are reluctant to spend a large amount of money.

The folk customs are also changing. In the past, the most influential local officials were officials, followed by scholars. Even if merchants have money, they must rely on fame and fame, make friends with officials, or hire scholars and son-in-law, otherwise they will not be able to raise their heads. But now around Tianjin Wei and the Northern Zhili Prefectures, which are deeply influenced by Tianjin Wei, having fame is not a bad thing, and having an official position is a good thing, but compared to the extremely glorious merchants in Tianjin Wei, nothing is considered.

There are many people in Tianjin Wei who were once innocent, but now they are all developed. Some go to border trade, some go to sea trade, and some are smart. They have discovered their own opportunities in Tianjin Wei, where business opportunities are endless. These people have no fame and no longer rely on power to make money, but they still make a fortune with dignity. This example is so valuable.

Even if you pass the exam for a scholar and pay less taxes at home, you will never see any meat and fish in a year. If you pass the exam, if you can't become an official, you will be a decent person at home. However, how many people can pass the exam for a scholar and how many people can pass the exam? But when you go to Tianjin Wei to be a craftsman, a guy, or something, you still have enough food. If you are smarter, there will be more developed prospects waiting for them.

This made many people think that there are many benefits of reading and doing business. Most people see immediate benefits. Going to Tianjin Health or Business to do business has become the choice of most people.

As for scholars, except for those extremely pedantic masters, the rest of them are more than the people think. They also think that if I endure this hardship, many people who are not as rich as me in Tianjin Wei, why can't I do it? It's really not easy for scholars to pass the imperial examination. Even if they pass the imperial examination, they have no strong backers, and they can only go to remote prefectures and counties to become officials. Otherwise, they would rather do business and make money, make money, and live a better life at home and be happy for themselves.

Those who have land for rent at home also found that this guy was not easy to do. If the same wage as before could not be kept, the people who were working in Tianjin Macao were working, which was much better than farming. Moreover, the money invested in this field every year, and the money earned too little. If you throw this money into Tianjin Macao to do business, you might make a lot of profit.

The scholars, gentry, the people, and the officials and the powerful are even more so. Just before the tenth year of Wanli, everyone had to do a lot of land. The so-called industry and commerce were just to open a few shops in the capital and Jiangnan, and to open a few mills, citrus, oil mills, etc. in their own villages. Only the land was the most valuable. Now, when everyone has money, they have to invest in Tianjin Wei, Zhangjiakou Fort and Datong, Shanxi, and they also boldly went to Guihua City to invest in silver, sea trade, border trade, fur, livestock, and alkali. They all wondered why they had never discovered so many ways to make money in the past. If they had known how good this place would be for their own family.

While regretting, I sold some of the fertile land in my hand, raised more money, and invested in Tianjin Wei. The most safest one can also put the money in Sanjiang Money House and Sanjiang Insurance Bank to earn interest rates. This income is much more than buying a rent in a farm. Even if I don’t want to take risks outside, open a shop in the capital or a big city, or open a workshop or a workshop, I will earn more than farming.

Of course, if you want to make money, you must learn the rules of Tianjin Wei, especially the rules of Sanjiang Commercial Bank. The rules are strict and thorough, and it is difficult for people to take advantage of loopholes.

All aspects are changing. In the northern Zhili area where Tianjin Wei Neng radiates, the atmosphere of emphasizing industry and commerce over agriculture has gradually spread. Originally, merchants from Jiangnan came to the north and thought it was easy to do business and make money, because people in the north did not know much about business and had many loopholes to take advantage of. Only merchants in Shanxi were not easy to deal with, but now it is different. Everyone's business brains suddenly became alive, not as easy as they used to take advantage. Of course, there were much more business opportunities than before.

From top to bottom, we began to think about how to make money. The capital and the northern Zhili prefectures also had abandonment for the first time when the year was good. Many landlords did not hire short-term workers and long-term workers to do their work. Many people simply opened shops and workshops to let their tenants go in to work. Some people began to recruit farmers from poor places in Henan and Shandong...

After the implementation of the whip law, many taxes and corvee labor that have to be paid in kind and labor have become silver. Now, although the whip law is abolished on the name of harming the people and expending the people, the silver that should be given is still to be given. In order to pay taxes, small farmers and even small and medium-sized landlords have to sell the things produced in their fields. They have to be extorted by checkpoints to collect money when entering and leaving the city, and they have to be exploited by merchants during the transaction. During this process, many landlords went bankrupt and many small farmers lost their land.

This situation that occurred in other places was not in Northern Zhili, because it was easy for everyone to obtain money, because industry and commerce were prosperous, and the money was abundant, and the number of people farmed was decreasing, and there was no delay in paying taxes.

As a result, small and medium-sized landlords and farmers in northern Zhili and surrounding provinces of Shanxi went bankrupt due to the One Whip Law. They were easily refugees and became the root of subverting the regime. However, because of the prosperous industry and commerce in northern Zhili and the shortage of agricultural population, they were absorbed a lot, which was also an inexplicable blessing for the Ming Dynasty.

This change is one aspect, and there are also changes in the difference between civil and military affairs. Since the founding of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and the Northern Expedition of Chengzu Zhu Di, the Ming Dynasty has no martial arts. The defeat of Yingzong's Tumu Fort and the series of failures from then to the subsequent series of failures, the Ming Dynasty has always adopted a defensive policy to the outside world, and the inland has always been peaceful.

The result is that the border army is dangerous and unwilling to make progress, and the inland is peaceful and unwilling to guard. The generals raise family members as private soldiers and treat the rest of their subordinates like slaves.

In this state of being bad inside and outside, no one will join the army to eat food. It is a shame to say it, let alone not to mention that there will be no good background in fame, which means that there is a slight change when the Japanese fight against the Japanese in the Jiajing year of the Jiajing period.

It’s different now. To outsiders, how did Wang Tong get his prominent status? He was not conquered by his outstanding military merits. He was said to be a noble and amiable man. However, the big men in the court, the fame in the wild, and even the royal relatives inside and outside the palace, who usually called out the joy of the horse. When the army came, the sword had not been drawn out, and they all became honest.

I heard that at that grand dynasty meeting, Wang Tong led his troops to no death. Many censors were so scared that they wet their pants and didn't dare to give up a single fart. In this comparison, who would say that the literary nobles and martial arts are inferior?

There is another thing. Now that Long Sui has been offended too much by civil servants, he is quite close to military generals. The young man who came from the Humao Martial Arts Hall was the worst now and the garrison. In the future, he will be the general and the future of the deputy general. They have developed their own people and will not suppress the civil officials. Now that they are in the army, they may be able to catch up with this wave of benefits.

Moreover, the grasslands are different from those on the sea. The Tartars, who originally thought they were like tigers and wolves, were just like this. Now the grasslands are the world of Han cavalry. There are few Han people on the grasslands, and merchants always recruit people at high prices. If they are willing to work hard in the guards, they will make a profit. They can catch up with the burning, killing, looting, and make a fortune.

Many noble children from the capital have not yet become wasteful people who only know how to play with the wind and moon, and who are wandering around the kilns and play with their husbands. They have the intention of going to the grassland to see.

Nowadays, the nobles and wealthy families in the border towns and capitals are thinking about expanding industries and grazing and reclamation on the grassland, and they also need a large number of people to guard them. There are also rumors that some people tell the emperor about the experiences on the grassland to the emperor, and the emperor also praised them a lot, saying that those who can gallop on the grassland can lead troops to fight when they come back and become pillars of the country. Wang Tong also said that anyone who has stayed on the grassland and fought can gain fame from the army.

It is both risky and exciting, can burn, kill, loot, make money, and gain fame. This is what the noble family likes to do the most, and it is also what young people in the capital yearn for the most, or young people who live affluent life and are full of fantasy yearn for it.

As a result, in the Beijing-Tianjin area, from top to bottom, many young people had to join the army and go to the grassland. It was much easier for various businesses to recruit personnel from guards, especially the Sanjiang Business Company's guards, which selected many good seedlings.
