Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 443
"Everyone, these [-] horses are for Huwei Camp's own use. You are late, but if you can afford it, you can go to Xuanfu City or Zhangjiakou Fort in May. At that time, Tianjin Wei will open a warehouse trade there. Give you a discount."

It had been two days since the Huwei camp's brigade left Xuanfu town, and the large amount of livestock they brought with them was almost sold in Xuanfu city, and the rest of the horses were prepared for the Huwei camp's own use.

The carefully selected horses are naturally good horses. Ma Sanbiao is watching closely, for fear of being sold again, but those who got the news late are still relentless in following up and pestering.

Since your Huweiying started selling it in Zhangjiakou Fort, why not sell it now, these animals are top-grade now, and everyone is even willing to increase the price by [-]%.

The Huwei camp has strict discipline, but they are very polite to those who come to do business sincerely. They specially sent Cai Nan to contact them, and left their names, so that they will be easier to deal with in the future.

The Ma family and the Li family gave Wang Tong a total of 30 taels of cash, and the Li family could not get some of it. They imposed a condition on Wang Tong, which was to allow Wang Tong to open a shop and warehouse in Xuanfu and participate in the border trade.

Daming does not need the goods on the grassland, but the grassland needs the goods of Ming Dynasty. It is normal to trade with each other, but the two sides are enemy countries, and the trade is often interrupted for various reasons.

Since the end of Jiajing's peace talks with Altan Khan, the border trade has been continuous, but the trade of salt, iron and livestock has strict quotas, which must not exceed a certain amount.

But there is a decree, and there is a countermeasure, even when the enemy country is at war, the trade between the nine borders of the Ming Dynasty and the grasslands has not been cut off.

The reason is simple, the frontier generals want to make a fortune, and the military academies below want to make a fortune. In addition to deducting military pay and supplies, the biggest source of income is to trade with various tribes in the grassland. The profit from the goods going north is even greater, not inferior to private salt and sea trade. Merchants, big and small, flock to them, and the generals will set up cards to collect money from these merchants, take out taxes, and even participate in it themselves.

This kind of border trade is the financial power of the border general, and it is also a default privilege. Besides, in the border town, the border general is a person who promises everything. Without his permission, no business can be done at all.

After Tianjin Wei opened the sea, a large number of goods from the south and overseas gathered here from all over the place, and then spread to various places with Tianjin Wei as the endpoint, but the northernmost is to the capital, Jizhen and Xuanfu are inaccessible, but there Many merchants come to purchase, although the profit is also high, but there is no interaction at all.

But after getting Ma Fang's permission, Sanjiang Commercial Bank can open a branch in Xuanfu, and Wang Tong doesn't need to worry about land stores. Taxes and taxes are all exempted, and border trade returns are all tax-free.

In the store opened in Xuanfu City, the Ma family accounted for [-]% of the shares. They didn't pay a penny for the first two years, and after two years they divided the account according to the shares.

300 heads, 36 taels a piece, and 20 taels of silver. Ma Fang only gave half of it this time, and a store discounted nearly [-] taels of silver. It seemed that Wang Tong was really at a disadvantage.

But Wang Tong and other leaders originally planned to buy a few taels of silver, dozens of taels of silver, and the money they got was free, and with the branch of Sanjiang Commercial Bank in Xuanfu, the goods collected by Tianjin Wei will also be sold through this point. When you come to Xuanfu, you can even sell it on the grassland.

This is tantamount to doubling the commercial territory of Tianjin Wei. If the grassland is included, the figure is even more than that. The profit of 18 taels, Cai Nan and Wang Tong roughly estimated at night, can be earned back in the first year. This is a real waste of money.

"My lord, the frontier town is ten miles away!"

Wang Tong was riding on a horse, and a soldier came to report quickly. He nodded, and the soldier rode to the front of the team again. Wang Tong turned his head and said to Cai Nan who was sitting on the carriage:

"Supervisor, we will be in Beizhili tonight."

Hearing this, Cai Nan stood up on the front of the cart, set up a pergola to look around, and said with a smile:

"At first I didn't think Tianjin Wei was my hometown. It's really weird to think so in my heart after leaving for more than a month..."

Because Gyeonggi is an important place, there is still a side wall between Beizhili and Xuanfu. The border town of this town is the gateway. Wang Tong looked at the frontier town and the side wall that had already been outlined, then looked back, and spoke in a low voice. said:
"I really don't want to stay in Xuan Mansion for a while longer, I always feel that this place is boring, such a general, such a general, such a border town, really..."

Wang Tong said a few words, knowing that some things cannot be said after all, he was too bright, and spit on the ground. Nine border towns spend nearly ten million silver every year, which is the biggest financial burden of Ming Dynasty, but the cost is so huge, but there is Such generals who dare not go out of the fortress, who are "mature and prudent", and who have to spend money to buy even their heads, and generals who dare not fight against the Tartars, so what use are they.

After Ma Fang sold the head, he mentioned the measures of opening a joint venture, providing convenience, and exempting taxes. I really can't think of a commander who knows so much about business. It can be seen that Marshal Ma has carefully observed the prosperity of Tianjin Wei. There are also shops operating in Tianjin Wei.

When he first came to Xuanfu, Li Yunsheng, the deputy commander in chief, also understood so well. Whether they were generals serving the imperial court of the Ming Dynasty, or businessmen who made money well, it was really difficult for people to make a judgment, but Wang Tong knew, so Generals can't fight. They think about making money every day, and they have a lot of money. Who would want to be loyal to the country and fight to the death.

"Lizi, we will come to the grassland every year to chop off our heads and sell them to your family. We will make good armor..."

"Li Hutou, you can't finish it. The Xuanfu is like this. My family bought it, and Ma Dashuai's family bought it too. Ma Dashuai's family bought so much. The Xuanfu's generals and guerrillas, and even the garrison below, have passed. Everyone Who doesn't want to be more even."

"... Tsk tsk, you Xuanfu..."

"Master, when I killed the enemy on the grassland, I rushed forward with a weapon, and I have seen blood. Besides, I will deal with you..."

"Tch, who is afraid of the competition..."

"Stop making troubles, stop making troubles, your lord is in front, marching all the way, up and down are in order, we are not decent."

The conversation between Wang Tong and Cai Nan was interrupted by the noise behind him. Wang Tong looked back with a smile. Li Tao's face was already flushed. Li Hutou was laughing and mocking, and Sun Xin was there to persuade him. Much better, and said:
"Sun Xin is steady. These days, he is depressed. Seeing the tiger head and the others always makes people happy."

General Tan was silent all the time, but at this moment he interrupted and said:

"My lord, almost all border towns are like this except Marshal Qi's side. The Xuan Mansion's many actions have already been restrained, but Marin has always been known for his staunchness. It is said that he will soon go to Datong to serve as a general. My lord Having met him, how would you evaluate him?"

Wang Tong shook his head and said:
"The delivery of the silver was brought by Marin, who also chatted with him. Although he likes to be a scholar, he is still quite interested in how to win. But he asked the price of our carts and artillery, but shook his head and said, It is made of silver, and the pattern is really limited if you can ask this question."

Several people around looked over, Wang Tong said with a sneer:

"The Ma's mansion is comparable to that of a prince. If you can spit out some money, carts and artillery can't do anything. You don't want to eat less money, but you still have to do things. There is such a happy thing in the world."

Speaking of this, Cai Nan smiled and said:
"It's a princely place. It looks like a nouveau riche. The girls in the family are dressed like Qin Guan's fans. The banquet costs a lot, but the cold dishes come second. Jun porcelain is used, but the cold dishes are made of white porcelain to show cleanliness. He didn't understand the etiquette and rules, and he was supported by others. Our family wanted to laugh at that time. This habit died in the capital five years ago..."

Cai Nan is also young, and has eaten and seen it in the palace, this ridicule has probably been buried in his heart for a few days, and when he mentioned it today, he also said it all.

"It is indeed the habit of nouveau riche. As a general, he is content with pleasure and does not go to gymnastics to train soldiers and horses, but he learns how to be rich and noble, and even learns nondescript. It is really ridiculous."

Hearing Cai Nan's evaluation, everyone laughed, and Wang Tong also expressed a few words.Speaking of the Ma family, he remembered something and said:
"Having said so much, the Ma family is now a partnership after all. The two trucks of soil and alkali that Ma Yun brought over must be taken care of so that nothing goes wrong. After all, the Ma family gave us so much food and fodder."

Now the carts in Huwei Camp were full of grain and fodder, and Ma Fang directly transferred it from the treasury. After Wang Tong left Ma's house, the butler Ma Yun privately asked Wang Tong to do something.

He said that he wanted Wang Tong to take care of some small business at hand. Ma Yun was an old man in the Ma family and was Ma Fang's confidant. Wang Tong was also willing to help him. I was a little surprised, it was two big car alkalis, Wang Tong didn't know much about alkali, he only thought it was useful in the kitchen, Wang Tong really didn't understand how much this thing could be sold for.

**************
"I have one thing to say. This time, the Huwei camp was attacked by a small group of Tartars. You all fought hard and beheaded two hundred people. Do you understand?"

After entering Shuntian Mansion and camping at Yanhekou Station, Wang Tong summoned hundreds of battalion officers and households and gave them this order seriously.

Beheading two hundred people, everyone was a little puzzled, there were a few thousand, how did it change so little, Wang Tong looked at the doubts of the people, and raised his voice and said:
"The reward is naturally calculated according to the actual military merit, and the official will have to increase it, but the public will all claim to behead [-] people, and the battalions will notify the soldiers. Whoever speaks the wrong words, the military law will do it!!"

Hearing the seriousness of Wang Tong's words, everyone accepted the order solemnly and went back to the camp. Wang Tong called Li Hutou again and said:
"You go to the capital early tomorrow morning and make an appointment with Zhang Cheng and Eunuch Zhang for me."
