Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 4

Tian Ronghao took the wooden box with surprise on his face, but he didn't expect the wooden box to be so heavy that he almost fell, so he put his arms around him and lifted the lid.

With a "hiss", Tian Baihu and the people behind him gasped. They had done a lot of raids and arrests. They had seen a lot, so they naturally recognized what was in front of them. It was pure gold. .Tian Ronghao estimated the weight to be about a dozen catties, which is at least a thousand or several hundred taels of silver.

Although Jin Yiwei is majestic, but at the feet of the emperor, dragons and snakes are mixed, and they dare not be too presumptuous. The benefits are not as many as outsiders can see. Since the Jiajing Dynasty, the largest number of foreign errands has become less and less, and everyone is relatively poor.As for Southern Guangdong and Macau, the journey is far away, and it is considered a place of smog, so Wang Li was sent there.

Unexpectedly, in Macau, Huayang's maritime merchants are rich and powerful, and there are many shady activities. Wang Li received a lot of benefits, and the few subordinates who followed Wang Li made a lot of publicity after they came back. Liu Xinyong's generation.

So much silver is really a lot of money for people like Tian Ronghao. What's more, in front of everyone, this kid Wang Tong clearly explained the cause and effect. It was Wang Li who borrowed it from himself. Clear, reasonable, no one can say otherwise.

Jin Yiwei has a lot of weight. Although the rank of Baihu is not high, the real power is extremely heavy. Those who can achieve this position are all smart people. Tian Ronghao's arms are heavy, but he looks at Wang Tong who is standing in front of him, and asks in a deep voice :

"Did your father say anything else?"

Wang Tong knelt down with a "plop", kowtowed a few times, and said in a crying voice:

"Returning to the adults, the late father... the late father said that the villain is lonely and helpless, and wants to ask the adults to take care of him, so that he can make up a vacancy in Jinyiwei, so that the old uncle can take care of the young one..."

He said it was sad, but Wang Tong was very lucky in his heart, he made the right bet, the people in the officialdom really knew the hint, there was an inexplicable extra sum of money, the other party must have something to ask for, as expected, Tian Ronghao asked back.

One thousand, 600 taels of silver is exchanged for the shortfall of Jinyiwei. This price is really hard to say whether it is expensive or not. This can only be said that the person concerned feels that it is worth it.

"Master Tian, ​​is Wang Tong too young?"

No one expected that it would be General Banner Liu Xinyong who spoke first. This Liu Xinyong's face was full of doubts, and he couldn't see anything strange, but it confirmed Wang Tong's thoughts.

Tian Baihu glanced back coldly, Liu Xinyong's heart trembled, knowing that what he said was rash, Tian Baihu said indifferently:
"What's so small about being 13? Didn't your nephew make up for food at the age of 11?"

Liu Xinyong lowered his head remorsefully, not daring to speak again, Tian Ronghao turned to Wang Tong, and said solemnly:

"They are all children of my own family. Since your father wants you to continue to eat this money, after you understand these things, you can go to me and fill you in the position of a strongman!!"

The most basic members of Jinyiwei are called Lishi, and those who are more qualified become captains. Hearing Tian Ronghao's words, Wang Tong felt at ease and kowtowed heavily.

No one was willing to stay in this mourning hall for too long. Now that they had settled down, everyone turned around and left. Before going out, Baihu Tian Ronghao turned around and asked casually:
"Return all the money to us, what will you do with your child's food, how much money do you have left?"

Wang Tong was taken aback, knelt there and replied:

"There are more than 100 taels of silver. When the errand gets his salary, he will be able to live enough."

Tian Ronghao nodded with a smile, turned and left, Wang Tong was stunned for a while, but the cold wind outside the mourning hall made him shiver.

It was the last question and answer, which made him sweat all over his body. Tian Baihu was already moved by taking out so much gold at one time. He wanted to test how much silver Wang Tong still had in his hand. If there was more, he might have to He wanted to conspire to seize the family property, but Wang Tong reacted quickly and reported a sum that was not worth it.Everyone also felt that children simply cannot tell lies, so they avoided a catastrophe inadvertently.

Jinyiwei never had any vacancies, and if there were vacancies, their nephews and relatives would inherit and make up for them. However, after the orthodox year of Emperor Yingzong, they began to be selected from among the good people. Later, the system deteriorated, and Jinyiwei often had nephews but could not fill the vacancies, and the vacancies were replaced by other people. .

After finishing the funeral affairs and resting in the soil, Wang Tong still had 420 taels of silver in his hand, which he hid under the secret compartment in the bedroom.

When he and his father depended on each other, they also knew the expenses. The food and clothing of the Wang family were considered upper class, and the annual cost was less than ten taels of silver. The 420 taels can do a lot of things, but sitting and eating is not a long-term solution, let alone Survive and survive in this world.

The red and white events are big things to do, but Wang Tong is lonely, and after seven days of mourning at home, he goes to Jinyiwei to sign up for duty.

Although Jinyiwei is also a guard, but because of its special functions and composition, it is not stationed in a centralized manner. Except for special institutions, the members of Jinyiwei all live at home and go to do errands every day. It is impossible to report to the Siyamen.

So according to the usual practice, the Jingshi Jinyiwei will go to their respective hundred households to gather and wait for orders to be distributed.

On the second day of October, Wang Tong woke up early. Modern experience told him that he must go early on the first day of employment and make a good impression on his boss.

Although the clothes on his body were half old, they had been washed and cleaned a long time ago. Wang Tong tidied them up before going out.

The area that Tian Ronghao was in charge of was nearby, and it was only a short journey from home to Tian's house, but it was not far away.When he went out, the sky was dimly lit, and when he arrived at Tian's gate, he couldn't see anyone. Wang Tong was not in a hurry, and just waited there slowly.

The first person to see him was a white-haired domestic servant who came out of Tian's house. After asking about his purpose, he turned back, and after a while, another person came out and led Wang Tong in.

Tian Ronghao was practicing boxing in the yard in casual clothes, he was a little surprised when he saw Wang Tong coming, but he nodded approvingly immediately.

The people Tian Baihu often sees around him are rough men who are very street-like and sloppy. Wang Tong is neat and tidy, with a gentle and decent demeanor. He looks very comfortable. Yinzi's friendship naturally made a great impression.

After a few words of advice, Tian Ronghao arranged for a person to take Wang Tong to the Jinyiwei Experience Department in the West City to receive a waist plate uniform, and asked him to come back to receive an errand after finishing the process.

After going through the Siyamen, he was in the west city of the capital. When he came back with his waist card and a suit of clothes, the sun was already in the west.

The time for assigning errands has passed, and the main entrance of Tian Baihu is as empty as when he came in the morning, and there is a middle-aged man waiting at the door.
