Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 1032

There were people around the house looking around, this was really nothing to Wang Tong, since he had his own house, there were all kinds of people staring at him, including enemies and his own people.

"I don't have time to entangle with them, just drive them away."

Wang Tong didn't bother to pay attention to this, now he was already in a state of being idle, and he didn't want to be idle. He had done all the things of killing chickens to make an example of monkeys.

The wealth in the south of the Yangtze River is relatively light. Among Wang Tong's family members, Zhai Xiu'er and Lu Ruomei are from their hometown, and their eating habits are not so suitable for the three of them, Han Xia, Zhang Hongying, and Song Chanchan. , young girls are not so used to it.

It’s easy to talk about food and drink. The boats coming from the north know how to flatter them, but this homesickness can’t be helped. Han Xia misses her brother and uncle, and Zhang Hongying and Song Chanchan are not in high spirits. , Wang Tong now has a lot more time than before, and he has to talk to his wife and concubines at home. Wang Xia is growing up day by day, which makes Wang Tong happy.

However, for a man who leads a large army to fight in all directions and is in charge of the internal guards, such a family life is really boring, so Wang Tong often has to go out for a walk, strolling around the city and the pier regularly, which can be regarded as patrolling, but also It can be regarded as a release, the helplessness of a family man is like this.

Around the beginning of November, both Zhang Hongying and Lu Ruomei had symptoms of pregnancy. They were confirmed by a doctor after consultation. Wang Tong only had a son with this status. Although he thought it was nothing, many people worried about him. This time it was a double blessing. The local Wang Tong's subordinates all came to congratulate him, which made it very grand.

Wang Tong himself was also happy, but there were some small episodes. For example, Song Chanchan and Zhai Xiuer were both busy inside and out with smiles on their faces. They were as happy as everyone else, but they were actually different. Han Xia and Wang Tong reminded that Song Chanchan Both Zhai Xiu'er and Zhai Xiu'er have cried in secret. Although Wang Tong can make a bowl of water even, the status of the female family members in the inner house is more or less related to whether they have children, and the women themselves think a lot in their hearts.

It was inevitable that Wang Tong would go to comfort him again, and he would have to stay with him for a few more days. Zhai Xiu'er was alright, but Song Chanchan had been suspicious all the time, wondering if someone had given him some medicine back then, so there was no news now. Famous doctors were specially invited from Nanjing City for diagnosis and treatment.

That famous doctor is capable, after some diagnosis, he concluded that the time has not come, so don't worry, this is considered to ease the minds of a few women.

For Wang Tong, the experience during this period of time was really exhausting, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was overwhelmed, it was really boring.

The county magistrates, county magistrates, and county magistrates in Shanghai are all ready to resign. Some people understand the truth, and some people see the prosperity of Shanghai County day by day, and they are thinking about continuing to use them. It was a "coincidence" that I experienced some things, and then I was ready to resign in fear.

Right now Songjiang port opening is in full swing, and the position of magistrate has become a good job. Many people have thought about it, but Wang Tong's meaning is very clear. He has decided on this position, and everyone shrank back automatically. .

Yang Sichen, who finished the Wangtong system in the capital, will come to Songjiang soon. He has the status of a juren, so it is not too much to be the county magistrate.

There are not many literati around Wang Tong. Lu Wancai is now the fourth-rank Shuntian government official, and Xu Guangguo is also a third-rank local official. Only this Yang Sichen has been asking for nothing. This time, Yang Sichen actually declined the position of county magistrate. Tong said that he would only accept it if there was a trustworthy person in charge of this area.

After everything was developed, the position of Shanghai County Magistrate would be greatly blurred, so to put it bluntly, he was still Wang Tong's clerical staff. Perhaps it was because of this that Yang Sichen accepted it.

Wu Er is already married, and he married the daughter of a local tycoon in Yanzhou Prefecture. This tycoon is more or less related to private salt, so it goes without saying.

Wu Da and Wu Er are already separated. It's not that life is not good, but life is too good. Wu Da seems to be a big man on the line between Tianjin Wei and Beyond the Great Wall. Many nephews and nephews follow suit. Wang Tong Going to the south, Wu Da was a bit reluctant to part with the scene in the north, but he also felt that following Wang Tong would definitely have a better chance, so the brothers summed up, Wu Er had been with Wang Tong for a long time, this time he followed Wang Tong. Come here, if the family members and nephews are willing to come, they can also follow.

After Wu Er arrived, under Wang Tong's instruction, he first led people to clean up the illegal salt in Songjiang Mansion. This business was very profitable, but Wang Tong didn't necessarily notice it, but the team that trafficked illegal salt often They all have swords and soldiers, which is a troublesome scourge and cannot be kept.

Official salt is a piece of nonsense, and the consumption of Songjiang prefecture still depends on this private salt, and Songjiang prefecture’s own salt farm has collapsed long ago, so the private salt business is naturally handed over to Wu Er, although The price of private salt here is not high, but it is also a big business, and Wu Er also has a part in the leather goods business, so he really feels that he has come to the right place.

Under the instigation of a group of people, the capital is ready to grant Shadong Ning the official position of Songjiang garrison. When Wang Tong was in control of the army, the imperial court restricted him in every possible way. Now that he lives in Songjiang, Emperor Wanli wants to give him as much privilege as possible. , to show his favor and grace.

Compared with the ranks of the generals of the Huwei Army, which are now the lowest and the ranks of the generals, Sha Dongning's defense is nothing, but fortunately, Wang Tong can administer it, which is just convenient.

Shi Qi in the guard also has an official title. He is a hundred households directly under the jurisdiction of the Jinyiwei Yamen in the capital, and he is stationed in Songjiang. In the end, it can have the scale of Tianjin Wei, so it is reasonable for this hundred households to become thousands of households.

The martial arts gym that Shi Qi opened "privately" is still there, and the place used is the two monasteries that were raided by thieves. This time, some children were brought back during the suppression of pirates. Naturally, they were released back, and some were already orphans, so they were taken in.

This "martial arts hall" in the temple often has some "instructors" to teach. Although it is just a martial arts hall, the cost is almost half of that of Wang Tong's veteran guards. It is very expensive, but the money here is not The public accounts and public expenses were allocated exclusively by Song Chanchan.

Liao Lang, a water thief who was born in the south of the Yangtze River, got an official position as a river inspector. Although the inspector was a rank nine military officer, he actually controlled all the waterways in Songjiang Mansion.

It is said that the subordinates have their own positions, but in fact there is no change in normal life. They are all doing business in Shanghai County, and everyone performs their own duties. Sha Dongning is away for three days because he is going to Songjiang Mansion. The forts and thousands of households in various places inspected the soldiers to avoid any mistakes.

*****************
If Shanghai County’s regulations were placed in the north, it would be enough for a prefectural city. Even before the opening of the port, it would be extremely prosperous.

It takes about half an hour to walk from the Liao Kingdom’s mansion to the county seat. After cleaning up everywhere, Wang Tong often comes to the city in casual clothes, accompanied by his guards, to have a look. watch.

Wang Tong was dressed in plain clothes, and a group of personal guards were also in plain clothes, following him back and forth. Anyone with a discerning eye would know that they were big shots at a glance, and they didn't dare to provoke them. The Duke's banquet, he dared not neglect, just pretended not to see it.

"The people watching outside our house are gone now? According to the original rules, you can't get close, but there are always people watching from afar!"

Walking on the road, Wang Tong asked very strangely, and Sha Dongning, who was by his side, replied with a smile:

"Grandpa doesn't know. At the beginning there were three groups of people. After the prince got angry, all of them withdrew. Later, there was only one person there, and that person is hiding far away now."

While talking, a personal guard behind stepped forward and said something in a low voice. Sha Dongning frowned, looked back, and said helplessly:

"That person is still following!"

Wang Tong turned his head and looked back. He didn't need to use any detective methods. He found it in the distance behind him. It was a middle-aged man in a long gown, following him. It seemed that there was a need to hide his traces, but the secret The act of covering up made him more conspicuous.

"who?"

"It is said that he is the concubine son of a nobleman in this city. He didn't have any fame in his studies. He got married and divided some property to live. I didn't hear that he had any troubles with the government or the local area, so the subordinates didn't pay much attention to it."

Wang Tong nodded, and it seemed that he was coming to the city gate. When he saw Wang Tong coming, the guards and guards at the gate hurriedly kept their eyes on each other, pretending to be loyal, and they were terrified of Wang Tong. The first time I saw Wang Tong coming, I kowtowed, but I was reprimanded. Now I am much more honest, and I just pretended not to see.

After a group of people entered the city, Wang Tong liked to go to the tavern on Nonghai Street in the west of the city. The tavern was clean, but the wine was the high-quality yellow rice wine brought from Shaoxing. The local dried fish is very suitable for Wang Tong's appetite. It is a good way for him to relax after drinking a little and watching the people coming and going on the street.

Today, when I walked to the door, the shopkeeper in the store also vaguely guessed the identity of this regular customer, and was extremely flattering. Seeing him coming, the shopkeeper greeted him warmly.

Wang Tong just nodded with a smile, but he heard a commotion behind him, and someone shouted:

"My lord, be the master!!"
