Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 379 Tianjin Wei's Early May

"Wang Tong, you are the most loyal person around me. Two years ago, you were the one who persuaded me in this delicious restaurant. Two years later, you are still here to tell me. No one dares to tell me the truth. "

"Your Majesty, when I left Beijing, there were several correspondences with His Majesty. It is clear that Your Majesty can afford to wait. Your Majesty is young and has a lot of time."

"I have to calm down and wait, Wang Tong, you are about the same age as me, let's wait together..."

"Your Majesty, you must not tell others about your secret visit to Beijing. After telling Your Majesty, I will feel at ease and return to Tianjin overnight."

"Now it takes more than four days for the letter to go back and forth. Wang Tong, do you have a way to make it faster?"

"After the minister returned, on the way from the capital to Tianjin, an inn was set up every [-] miles, with horse messengers. If there is information, it is possible that the horses will be rotated continuously within two days or even sooner. "

***********
Everyone in the capital praised the wiseness of the Empress Dowager Li, regretted that Emperor Wanli could not control himself, and was pleasantly surprised by the emperor's reining in. Brothels and teahouses, streets and alleys were all talking about it.

Zhang Juzheng, the chief assistant of the cabinet, gave a stern memorial, and all the officials of the court gave a remonstrance, saying that His Majesty should restrain himself, and it must not be so absurd.

Different from the strong anger in the past, this time the Wanli Emperor sincerely accepted the remonstrance and issued an edict of guilt. The courtiers said that the officials were more and more happy with the war, but the emperor had such a humble and humble attitude, they would not Continuing on, the ministers went on a lot of lectures on great principles and sages, and they became dull.

The only unlucky person should be the eunuch Sun Hai, the admiral of the Imperial Horse Supervisor. He was sent to Fengyang, the central capital, to clean the imperial tomb, but he was not executed. But for an eunuch, cleaning the imperial tomb in the central capital is worse than death The uncomfortable thing is that there will never be a bright future in this life.

When Sun Hai came out of Beijing, he didn't even think about why he came to this point. He wanted to curry favor with the emperor, and no one interfered every step of the way. Why did all parties suddenly work together to make him irreparable.

After Sun Hai, the admiral of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, stepped down, the Imperial Horse Supervisor reshuffled the cards again. The eunuchs who were promoted when Sun Hai was favored were all removed and replaced, and all parties took the opportunity to stuff people in. This is also the case every time the official position is changed. inevitable.

Since it was a Cypriot, it would be easier for the Yumajian's own people to attack. The eunuch Zhang Jing and the supervising eunuch Lin Shulu both got a few positions.

On April 25th, the palace decreed that Chu Zhaoren, the guardian eunuch of Nanjing, returned to the capital to serve as the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and Hu Zhizhong, the head of the Sixth Division of the Rites Supervisor, was respectful and reliable, and replaced the post of guardian of Nanjing.

Zou Yi, the former Longxiang Zuowei Supervisor who was demoted because of the corruption case of Yumajian, took up the post of Chief of the Sixth Division of the Rites Supervisor because of his reformation and loyalty in his work.

The empress dowager was furious, the emperor pleaded guilty, and there were changes in important positions in the inner court. In the ups and downs, everyone seemed to have forgotten the investigation team sent to Tianjin Wei and the investigation results that did not meet the original intention of the dispatch.

Those who are dissatisfied with this, seeing Hu Zhizhong's high promotion appointment, and seeing how stable the investigation officials are in their original positions, can roughly judge the imperial court's attitude towards this, and dare not continue to live for a while. It's over.

***********
Inside and outside the palace, some dignified persons and families are spreading such a saying. It is said that it was said by the Empress Dowager in private, but no one dares to judge whether it is true or not.

"Wang Tong is reliable and diligent in his work. What is rare is that he has an upright and loyal mind. He understands the truth and persuades the emperor with loyalty and sincerity. Not bad, not bad."

What the Empress Dowager Cisheng said did not really speak, and there was no way to be sure, but it explained something.

After this incident, someone with a heart found that the status of the Empress Dowager Li seems to be a little higher. In the past, she was the master of the inner palace. There is no doubt about it, but the Empress Dowager Chen also has her right to speak in the inner palace.

But Sun Hai was exiled, so that the 24 yamen of the Inner Palace were firmly controlled by the Empress Dowager Li. Now he is the complete and real master.

Rensheng Empress Dowager Chen decided to recuperate behind closed doors without seeing guests because her body was weak. This seems to explain something, but this is something that everyone has tacitly understood.

***********
However, there was a trend that was set off in early April, but it was hidden in the thrilling political battles. It was only when the dust settled at the end of April that this trend became more and more intense.

Go to Tianjin Wei to make a fortune. People from well-to-do families in the capital, wealthy businessmen, rich scholars, officials, even wealthy nobles, and eunuchs in the inner palace, as long as they are interested in money, they all know that going to Tianjin Wei now is a must. If you can make money, you can definitely make money...

It is said that the quick-witted people who went early rented a shop by the Haihe River, and sold whatever goods they bought. Even if the business failed, the price of the rented shop had already been doubled by someone. Sublease, sit on the ground and collect money.

Everyone is willing to make a fortune. If there is such a good thing, who is not the first to charge. Those with money at home have prepared money, and those without money at home are also thinking about finding a living there.

And everyone knows that you can't get anything late, the capital knows, Tongzhou and Xianghe don't know, Shuntian Prefecture knows that Hejian Prefecture knows, don't other prefectures in Beizhili don't know, go late and have nothing.

***********
"Master's side is really lucky. That Sun Hai is so dazed that he actually did such a bastard thing, he deserves to fall down."

In Wei Wangtong's mansion in Tianjin, Yang Sichen said happily that he didn't know the inside story of this matter, and Wang Tong didn't intend to tell him, so he just smiled and replied:

"It's really lucky. If Sun Hai stops, I'm afraid he will be the first to deal with this officer, and it's still a dead end."

Yang Sichen nodded in agreement there, the favor of the emperor is the most important thing to the courtiers, he represents infinite glory and wealth, no one is willing to be divided, especially when striving to be the closest to this position, then when It's really life and death, there is no possibility of kindness.

Wang Tong understood this, so the method he used was also a thunderbolt, which made Sun Hai completely unable to stand up. He had already been criticized by the courtiers. His body was smashed to pieces, Wang Tong knew this very well.

After joking a few words, Yang Sichen said again:

"The layout of the inn, as well as the purchase of horses, have been arranged by the people of Sanjiang Trading Company. It's okay to say that when the horses arrive, Ji Town has trade with Mongolia every year. The inn may not be able to do it in a hurry.

"If you don't have an inn, go to the nearby people's house first, and do your best. The courier who delivers the letter must be a reliable person from below, and you must always keep an eye on it, so as not to make any trouble."

Seeing Wang Tong's prudence, Yang Sichen quickly agreed, Wang Tong paused and said again:

"Smooth information is more important than anything else. Don't think that this matter is only used for government affairs. Sanjiang Commercial Bank and other businesses in Tianjin Wei may also be used for business."

Information is wealth, there is a fast and smooth information channel, whether it is communication with the emperor, or business transactions, it will be very convenient, not to mention the various things that happened in the capital this time, Wang Tong has already felt the trouble of slow communication .

While talking, Zhang Shiqiang walked in and said:
"Master Wang, Master Yu asked his subordinates to invite you over, and said that he wanted to walk along the Haihe River with you."

Yu Dayou asked, this will definitely not be rejected, Wang Tong stood up with a smile and said:

"After all, the few days in the capital are more leisurely, but when you come to Tianjin Wei, you can't be free for a moment. Brother Zhang, follow the guards and talk about it. Let's put on casual clothes. Anyway, there are guards from the Haihe River. .”

"Master Wang has worked hard..."

Yang Sichen followed suit, and Wang Tong waved his hand and said:

"It's not hard, but I'm not at ease for a moment when I'm free in the capital. No matter how busy I am in Tianjin Wei, I feel comfortable."

Walking out of the room while speaking, Wang Tong asked while putting on the robe handed over by the guard:
"Why did my lord remember to visit the Haihe River?"

"The subordinates don't quite understand, but Boss Yu has been walking by the Haihe River every day for a few days, watching carefully, but he doesn't know what to do!"

**********
"Sun Hai has fallen, is your position stable again!?"

"My lord can understand, don't worry about anything for the time being."

The sun was shining brightly, and there was a lot of people by the Haihe River, which made Wang Tong, who missed the bustling city, quite relaxed and happy. Although Yu Dayou was hale and vigorous, he needed crutches to walk.

The two of them chatted while walking, but they were very leisurely. They didn't take a few steps, but under the guidance of Yu Dayou, they walked towards the Haihe River.

When we actually reach the river bank, it is not as busy as the street inside, because this is a place reserved for storage yards and warehouses. Most of the ships unloading and loading are sailors and boatmen on board, laborers for unloading, merchants and tax collectors who receive the goods. Wait for the guards.

Walking here, Yu Dayou raised his crutches and pointed:

"When the old man was fighting against the Japanese in Fujian, he disguised himself and went to the private port of the pirates. It was already known as a collection of oceans and the richest in the world, but it was not as good as your port. It is true that you have the ability to turn stones into gold! "

"My lord praises that there is no shortage of silver or goods in the northern and southern provinces of Ming Dynasty. What is lacking is such a place where mutual exchange and trade are made. After all, private ports are private. Wang's side opens the sea in the name of the government. This sea The goods bought and sold can be connected with the water transport, pass through the north and south, enter the inland, and have an official identity, don't worry about being seized, and naturally gather business travelers from all over the world."

Yu Dayou nodded half-understood, after all, the way of economy is not the director of this class of generals, but he came today, obviously not what he was talking about, Yu Dayou raised his crutch again, this time pointing at the sea...

**********
In a corner of the street by the bank of the Haihe River, two idlers squatted in a remote place, talking in a low voice in Fujian dialect:

"The head of the family has ordered that the shop is full here, the shop is full of goods, and the letter will be sent when it is almost a month's business."
