Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 1029
Although several counties in Songjiang Prefecture are close to the sea, the transportation from the county town to the sea is not convenient, and there are no facilities on the seashore. After all, when the Japanese pirates made trouble the most, Songjiang Prefecture suffered a lot. The policy of banning the sea The implementation here is very effective, and it slowly falls into disrepair.

Tianjin Wei also has a military port wharf, which more or less has a foundation. The Songjiang Mansion has to re-plan and build, and all projects have to start from scratch.

All projects are built from scratch, and the project is not small, no matter the manpower required for the construction materials, the materials are easy to say, Songjiang is rich, because the opening of the port also gave privileges, taxes can be used for construction, If you have money and materials, you don't have to worry about it. Songjiang Mansion is adjacent to the East China Sea of ​​the Yangtze River, and there are several rivers in the territory that are adjacent to other prefectures. It is more convenient to transport it by boat.

What really worries people is manpower. The prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River are densely populated, but there are few refugees and hungry people in the prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River to recruit.

It wasn't until Wang Tong came to Songjiang Mansion that the local people ate white rice and dried fish on weekdays, a life that ordinary small landlords in the North might not be able to do.

Many coastal cities in Ming Dynasty changed from prosperity to decline immediately after the sea ban, but Songjiang Mansion was different. After the sea ban, it relied on the local cotton textile industry to maintain itself, and even became more prosperous because of the expansion of the scale. The fertile part of the local fields is plowing, and the rest of the place is used for spinning and weaving, or running for the cloth business. Each workshop in Songjiang Prefecture hires people from other prefectures and counties every year, so there is no spare manpower to participate infrastructure.

Moreover, several prefectures around Songjiang Mansion are in a situation similar to Songjiang Mansion, and the local area has to hire a large number of outsiders to work as tenants, so it is very difficult to provide manpower.

Therefore, the conquest of labor in the local area has indeed hurt the interests of the gentry and the common people. If he goes to work on infrastructure for a day, the work at home will be delayed and he will make less money.

In the beginning, they only relied on thousands of hard labors from the Songjiang Mansion to deal with it, and then shared the burdens of each family as much as possible. Fortunately, hundreds of people were killed and thousands of people were arrested. It's frightening, this is the way to maintain it, but it's not a long-term solution.

Therefore, exterminating pirates at sea has become a great way to replenish manpower. Because of the rise of Tianjin Wei, the range of activities of several people at sea is all to the north, and the seas around Nanzhili and Zhejiang have become a power vacuum. Activities here, the sea is not calm, the merchants are trying to detour as much as possible, the pirates are rampant and colluding with the bandits on the land, so that all the prefectures and counties are also full of smog.

To eradicate pirates, one is to capture a large number of manpower, and the other is to secure business routes, and get multiple in one fell swoop, not to mention that the seized property can be used to buy food and supplies to supply the needs of the port opening project. This is the opening of Songjiang Prefecture. One of the innate advantages of the port is that it is the place where the grain is abundant, and if you have money, you can buy grain.

The local people were quite frightened by what Duke Liao had done, it was really too bloody, but once the pirates were cleared up, everyone applauded.

Wang Tong can discuss when assigning labor to each family, but the training of this township valor group must not be discussed. After a group of pirates were captured, everyone supported it instead, protecting the environment and the people, and doing what they did was of real benefit to their own family.

As for the seized stolen goods, Wang Tong sold them in Songjiang Mansion and bought a large amount of materials needed for the project, which attracted merchants from all over the place and made the market in Songjiang Mansion greatly prosperous.

There are so many pirate coolies, and some people are worried that they will cause trouble. Now the soldiers of the Thousand Households in Songjiang Mansion are not very hopeful. The only ones who can fight are the hundreds of guards in the hands of Liao Guogong and the sailors on the big ship. But those big ships It's not always there, and it's also unreliable.

In fact, when the number of prisoners of hard labor reached about [-], they also saw that there were not many guards, and they got up and made a fuss for a while. At that time, only Wang Tong's [-] guards were guarding them.

Seeing the chaos here, some people rushed to the county to report the news. The news spread along the way, and everyone panicked. Every household gathered people or ran into the city.

When hundreds of civilians gathered in the city and came to rescue, they found that the captives' riot had been suppressed. In a short period of time, the two hundred guards had killed nearly 400 people. The captives had never seen such a tiger and wolf, and they were frightened .

The heads of the corpses were hung up to show the public, wasting a lot of wood and bamboo materials, which made the people who came later fearful, and made everyone more confident in Wang Tong's power. However, regarding the matter of training Ding Yongmin Zhuang, everyone They are all enthusiastic, and if they don’t waste their own people’s power, then they have to use captives. If they use captives, they are afraid of trouble, and they can rest assured that they are young and strong.

But they didn't expect that the soldiers trained by Wang Tong would definitely be Wang Tong's subordinates.
***************
"Liao Lang has been catching thieves on the Taihu Lake and the river these days. He was scolded miserably for being here first, the so-called number one scum in the green forest!"

Wang Tong said with a smile, today, the Liao State Palace held a family banquet for Sha Dacheng, a hundred families of Jinyiwei. Most of Wang Tong's subordinates in Tianjinwei have official titles in Jinyiwei, and they have official identities. After all, it is convenient .

This time the family banquet was simple, Wang Tong naturally sat at the head, and Wu Er, Shi Qi and other personal guards also had seats. Hearing what Wang Tong said, everyone laughed, and Wu Er even said:
"My lord must have also heard about the waterway of Taihu Lake and those people on the river. While scolding, they sent people over to say hello, saying that if the lord takes a fancy to them, they will immediately give their strength to them. The Lord gave them a chance to reform themselves, and they will come to Songjiang Mansion to be good citizens."

Everyone was laughing again, Wang Tong held up the wine glass to signal, and everyone stood up quickly to return the salute. Sha Dacheng sitting on Wang Tong's right hand was much paler than when Wang Tong first met him, after all, he was so pampered in Tianjin Wei area For a long time, people who don't need to eat and sleep in the open air are much more comfortable, and they will look rich and noble.

"Sha Dacheng, when I told you to send people over, why did you lead the fleet here? Don't delay the business in Liao Town."

"Please don't worry, my lord. From Tianjinwei to Liaozhen, the sea road is peaceful. There are no storms. The sons and daughters are also proficient in running, so there will be no delay. The most important thing is the lord. How can you let others do it, subordinate Bring people over first."

Speaking of this, Sha Dacheng said with a smile:

"So that my father-in-law will know that this trip is not a loss. When I came here, it was full of alkali and leather goods, and when I went back, it was full of silk and cotton cloth. This round trip has doubled the money, and I will come back in the future." ah!"

For North-South goods trafficking, the transportation cost of water transportation is almost five times or more than that of sea transportation, not to mention the clips along the way, which is more costly. On this freight alone, sea transportation will make a lot of profits out of thin air, not to mention Sha Dacheng The North and the South that have been trafficked this time have beautiful goods that are in demand.

Everyone laughed again, Wang Tong also nodded and said:
"Songjiang opened a port, and many people in the government and the opposition are still talking about it, saying that there is no alkali, no leather goods in Songjiang, and see what profiteering things Wang Tong can make. They never thought that things from the north were transported to Songjiang by sea. Go to the south of the Yangtze River to sell along the Yangtze River, and the things from the south come to Songjiang to be shipped to various places, this communication is enough to make Songjiang prosperous."

Everyone here has followed Wang Tong for a long time, and they can understand what Wang Tong said. Everyone nodded, and Wang Tong asked again:
"Shen Wang's child has also entered the school now. It is said that Shen Wang has settled down in Tianjin Wei now?"

"Yes, Shen Wang now specializes in the business of going to Japan and Goryeo in the north, and he rarely comes to the south of Haizhou. If you want to say something offensive, if Shen Wang and his subordinates are both in Tianjin Wei, where can they be?" Let these bastards run amok here, Shen Wang is also a hero, and now his thoughts are all on his child."

Sha Dacheng said with a smile, but looked proudly at Sha Dongning standing beside him, Wang Tong nodded with a smile and said:
"If we come here a few years later, maybe people from the south will come here, and maybe there will be a character like you in the local area, but if we come here now, there will be no chance for them to grow up."

After talking a few words, everyone drank and chatted, Beijing and Tianjin also had new knowledge, and Jiangnan also had knowledge, and they chatted happily with each other. Sha Dacheng glanced at Sha Dongning, hesitated and said:

"I came this time because I wanted to ask my father-in-law for something, but I was afraid of causing trouble to my father-in-law."

Wang Tong nodded with a smile. It is not difficult for him to agree to this occasion.

"The Sha family wants to move here and contribute to my father-in-law's affairs in Songjiang. The current situation will probably cause my father-in-law a lot of trouble."

"Oh, this is a good thing, but you are in a good situation in Tianjin Wei now, are you willing to come here like this?"

"That situation is not due to the grace of the Lord. Besides, what Sha's Boat Company has to do is to travel from Tianjin Wei to Liao Town. With Dongning and his uncle looking at it, there will be no trouble. To tell the truth, Tianjin Wei is as big as it is. The situation gave Shen Wei a head start, and my subordinates are very greedy, now that Songjiang has opened a port, my subordinates can't let this opportunity go to others."

After he finished speaking, he burst out laughing, and everyone in the room laughed along with him. Wang Tong put the wine glass on the table and said:
"It's also good for you to come to help me. The naval forts on the Tianjin Wei side are all in place, and the Songjiang Mansion is still riddled with holes. You are well thought of when you come. However, you can't just come here. Sanjiang Insurance Company, Sanjiang Qianzhuang, Sanjiang Shipyard, and Sanjiang Craftsman are all coming over, and I will draw up a document for you to take back to Tianjin Wei."
