Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 342
The Haihe River is close to the sea, and the sea breeze in summer is quite pleasant. This is the coldest time near the end of the year, and the sea breeze is the so-called knife wind.

Wang Tong and a group of people walked on the bank of the Haihe River. A few warriors were only wearing leather robes. Behind them were tents and buildings, wrapped tightly in leather robes and cotton clothes.

Now it's freezing here, and the land on both sides of the Haihe River is as hard as iron, making it extremely difficult to start construction, so the construction has stopped, and the laborers have to do other things.

"Fifty percent of the shops have already been sold, and people have been asking for the prices of the few shops left by your lord. According to the original order, I rented two rooms to him."

Zhang Shiqiang followed behind and explained.

Wang Tong nodded, looked at the fort by the river, but frowned, raised his voice and said:
"Who is the creator of Riverside?"

A man ran out from behind in a panic, Wang Tong pointed around the fort and said:
"There must be an open space behind the fort and the barracks behind. You piled up the earth like this, do you want to block my soldiers and horses there?"

Listening to Wang Tong's words, there was a bit of anger in it. It was a cold day, and the sweat flowed down his forehead, and he quickly explained:
"Master, don't be surprised. We have brothers and sisters here, and the houses are built quickly. There is not much space inside, and it is expected to walk from the river. Everywhere, the other side is placed there."

"Pan Ming, I'll send your people over this afternoon, and the area around the fort must be cleaned up."

Pan Ming, who was wearing the soldier uniform of Jinyiwei, trotted over and quickly agreed. His two children have now signed up for the official school run by Jinyiwei, and they are even more determined to do so.

Originally, the builder was waiting to be punished tremblingly, but Wang Tong just said "Don't do this next time", and led the people to move forward.

"Over the fort and the barracks, you led someone to look at it a few years ago. It's freezing cold, so the barracks should not leak air. You should also pay attention to the distance between the living place and the place where the gunpowder is stored, so as not to catch fire."

Wang Tong watched and said, the relevant people around nodded repeatedly, and the leader of the building agreed a few words, and the panic was gone, and he walked two steps forward and said:

"Master, I heard that half of the shops on the shore have been rented out. In the spring of next year, when boats come from various places, there must be a large number of rich people coming. By then, the shops may not be enough to rent. The younger ones look at that." There is still a lot of open space next to the sea, why not include that side as well?"

Having said that, Wang Tong stopped in his tracks, glanced at him with a smile, and said leisurely:
"You've done a good job, go there more when you have nothing to do, and come to me when you figure it out."

Before that confidence and majesty, no one would pay attention to Wang Tong's age. He looked at the seaside in a daze, and vaguely felt that this was not a bad thing. said:
"Master, don't worry, the little one must go and have a look."

Wang Tong nodded with a smile, turned around and walked forward, and said:
"To build this thing is to make it bigger and make money. If you want to make it bigger, I can help you with some money."

At this time, as long as you are not a fool, you will know that something good has happened from the sky, so the construction is to kneel down and kowtow, and say loudly:

"My little one, thank you master for your generous reward."

People around looked at this construction with envious eyes, and someone laughed and joked:
"Old Gui, this year you have to kill sheep and pigs to make offerings to your ancestors, and if you are favored by Mr. Wang, that's really good deeds from your ancestors!"

This builder's surname is Gui, and his popularity is quite good. He is also the No. [-] builder in the Acropolis of Tianjin. He looks weird, with a big mouth, a long neck, and a round head. Some vicious people call him "Turtle" .

Wang Tong turned around with a smile. Developers and construction companies were the most profitable business back then. I don't know what will happen in this era, but in the future, if I want to do a lot of construction, it will be useful to have a construction team in hand.

Unexpectedly, Gui Zhuang behind him didn't get up, but instead kowtowed and said:

"My lord, please forgive me. I have a request for you, my lord, please agree."

The group of people was a little quiet all of a sudden, because they didn't know what was good or bad. How could they make such progress after giving you such a big benefit? Wang Tong also frowned, and before he turned his head, he heard someone behind him say:
"The youngest son is twelve years old this year. The youngest one doesn't ask for anything else, but that the adults can take the dog in and go to Jinyiwei's school to study and learn martial arts..."

The atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot. It was not a mistake to plan for his own children and ask for school. Wang Tong turned around with a smile and helped Gui Zao up, and said with a smile:

"From now on, everyone will be a family. This matter is easy to talk about. Bring the children here tomorrow and record their names!!"

Gui Zhazo didn't expect this thing to go so smoothly, he kept agreeing, and couldn't help crying, just now he wanted to take advantage of Wang Tong's good mood to take a risk, but he didn't expect it to happen.

He had vaguely heard some rumors about the background of this young Qianhu, and he had seen with his own eyes what this Qianhu had done in Tianjin Wei. Just now, the adult wanted to take the initiative to help him, and Gui Zao took advantage of the situation to plead.There are two intentions in the action, one is to send his own child there as a hostage, and the other is to gamble that the child will follow Mrs. Wang, so he can have a future in life.

"You are also a man, why are you crying like a woman!"

Someone made a joke, and everyone laughed, but some of the children in the family were of the right age, but they were all excited. The school Mr. Wang opened to learn literature and martial arts is indeed better than any private school.

Now everyone can see that this is the ability to seize opportunities, and everyone wants to speak again, but at this time it is not easy to talk, and they can only follow along in desperation.

"Be careful with the fire and candles. This place will be densely packed with shops in the future. It is close to the sea and the wind is strong. If a family catches fire, it may spread to this area... Pan Ming, you have specially dispatched 100 people to put out the fire. If you know something, go to the Qing Army Hall in the city to find someone who knows how to do it....Remember, it is not allowed to light a fire and cook in the shop here, you can only bring it when you have prepared it, or live in..."

A group of people behind were lamenting Wang Tong's whimsical ideas, and a few clerks were struggling to record with hard pens, but they didn't expect that Wang Tong was also thinking about it.

Everything that can be thought of in that life, as well as associations, must be used here. Wang Tong became more and more excited as he walked along the Haihe River. Looking at the shops and paved streets nearby, he looked at the A construction site where work is temporarily suspended, this is not the emergence of a prosperous and prosperous city, this is clearly the emergence of a city in his own hands.

Watching a piece of wasteland grow and grow in my own hands, and gradually become a city, and it is also a prosperous and prosperous city that wants to give many people wealth and happiness. What kind of great cause is this.

The Spring Festival was approaching, the weather was freezing, and there was still a large construction site by the Haihe River. Apart from Wang Tong's team, there were only four or five groups of people walking around.

Some were soldiers on a temporary patrol, and some were merchants who came to see the place nearby. Wang Tong and his party were surrounded by dozens of soldiers.

While Wang Tong was talking and walking, a dozen people came in front of him, and the soldiers yelled a few words, and the dozen people immediately stepped aside.

When passing by, Wang Tong glanced casually, and could see a dozen or so men, except for two men wearing sheepskin jackets inside out, all of them were tightly wrapped, such as cotton jackets, fur robes, cloaks, cotton hats, earrings, etc. Put on a hood, everything that can keep out the cold, and show two eyes, which looks very ridiculous.

It was so tightly packed, and a group of people were still stomping their feet. It was obviously very cold, but such people were not uncommon. Merchants from the south would be frozen like this if they came to the Northland for the first time.

But this is also heart-pleasing, because everyone can understand the value of the Haihe River, and even merchants from the south come to have a look in this cold weather.

************
"I didn't expect to meet Fanzi in this cold weather. On this day, those errands in the south are all huddled in the teahouse and restaurant."

When Wang Tong and the others passed by, one of the people dodging by the side of the road spoke out, but it was in Fujian dialect, and the two men in sheepskin jackets looked back, but neither of them could understand.

"Those guards in brocade clothes are strong soldiers, maybe they have to borrow warriors from the Japanese country."

Another person interjected, looked around while speaking, the person beside him was tall, with his hands in his sleeves, he was the only one who didn't stomp his feet and feel cold, his companion said so, but he was looking in another direction , Those forts by the river shook their heads while watching.

Seeing that he didn't speak, these "traders" from the south kept silent. The man looked at it for a while, then turned his eyes back to the land, looking at the rows of shops and the already large-scale warehouses.

"Both, how many shops here are rented?"

He did not speak with a Fujian accent, but authentic Mandarin. When the two men heard the question, they turned back very politely and said:
"Hui Ye said that half of them have been rented out. The shopkeeper said that the news has spread along the canal. After the New Year, and in February, it is unknown how many merchants will come from east, west, north and south. What a treasure!"

The person who asked the question laughed out loud, and everyone looked at him. The person nodded and said:

"Next year when the river opens and the sea opens, there must be a collection of people and wealth here. The treasure land there is clearly a cornucopia full of gold and silver treasures, but there are only a dozen forts on the shore, guarded by thousands of people, and there is not even a wall.... "

He paused, smiled and continued:

"When the time comes, bring the brothers and move all the contents of this cornucopia onto our boat!"

Before the words fell, everyone lowered their voices and laughed out loud.
