Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 447
"...I will not disappoint your family members, don't worry!!"

On the school field in the north of the Tianjin Acropolis, Wang Tong said solemnly on the wooden platform. After finishing speaking, he bowed in the direction of the north, and the drum music board behind him played a mournful tune, and the families of the soldiers who died in battle cried there. One sound.

During the battle outside the Great Wall, the Huwei Battalion remained in formation and was sheltered by the chariot formation. The casualties of the soldiers were not serious, and the six killed in battle were all killed by arrows shot by the Tartars from outside.

Back to Tianjin Wei, because it was almost March, and there were countless merchants from Tianjin Wei, and those who had a reputation came to invite them, but Wang Tong refused.

The labor craftsmen who were building the racecourse there were urgently transferred back nearly a thousand people. They wanted to build an ancestral hall outside the schoolyard, which became the Hall of Martyrs, dedicated to enshrining the tablets of the soldiers who died in the Huwei Camp.

For the burial ceremony, Wang Tong also carefully invited people to discuss it. Although many people couldn't figure it out, Wang Tong was not sloppy.

On the second day of March, the whole army of the Huwei Battalion gathered and stood on the school grounds. Wang Tong loudly recounted the bravery of the soldiers who died in battle, and handed out the compensation and rewards to the families... Finally, a few trumpet guns It all started in unison.

"Third brother, did you see that the backs of the Huwei camp have straightened up a lot, even when the master led the troops, he didn't think of such a way!"

"Brother, look at the young and strong security guards and Xiangzhong around, those young and strong looking around, don't they have envious faces and blood boiling, I am afraid that they are the ones who wish to die at this time."

It was Tan Jiang and Tan Bing who spoke. They clearly observed that in such a solemn ceremony, the soldiers all puffed up their chests, and the young and strong teenagers around were envious.

This is a sense of belonging, a kind of honor, and it makes each of them feel that it is worthwhile to do so. It is an honor to fight and die for such an army and collective.

Some people also saw the silver taels handed out by Wang Tong himself, and the treatment mentioned. The soldiers who died in battle were called "martyrs". It is true, and the children of martyrs have various priorities.

For example, the most popular industry in Tianjin Wei now is to work in various shops and commercial firms, but to do the work, you must have a guarantor and a certificate issued by the yamen, and it is also good to go to the yamen that collect money and manage affairs inside and outside Jinyiwei City. Okay, but this one is more stringent.

The family members and children of martyrs will be guaranteed by Tianjin Jinyiwei and certified by Tianjin Jinyiwei. They will be recruited as soldiers for tolerance. If there is any dispute with others, Tianjin Jinyiwei will come forward to support them.

Although these conditions have a certain number of years, they are really generous, just like someone in the family who has passed the exam.

"Oh, under such conditions, it is worth sending a son to die."

"Look at your virtue, you send your son, the other party is not necessary, but I heard that you can get enough money to serve as a soldier in this Huwei camp, you can get enough food, and you can win battles. Come here to serve as a soldier. It's really not a bad thing..."

Not only the generals present were talking about it, but even the people watching outside had their own feelings. Anyway, the effect of this memorial ceremony is full.

*************
But when they left, General Tan and Tan Bing walked behind. General Tan's family had a high status in Jinyiwei and Huwei Camp, and everyone respected them. The two of them had something to talk about, and the others avoided it.

"Third brother, if there are a few more years of soldiers and horses like Huweiying, they can be called a powerful army in the world!"

"Not only, not only, I heard Master Wang said that if he said it, after a few years, it's really hard to think about it."

Hearing Tan Bing's evaluation, Tan Jiang nodded with a smile, and said in a deep voice:
"Since that's the case, you and Tan Jian don't have to report everything. Isn't such a strong army just what the boss wants? Mr. Wang is young, so it's inevitable that he will be a little inappropriate in doing things. What if there is something that doesn't suit the nobles of the capital?" Thoughtful, it was managed with great difficulty, so it just fell apart..."

Having said that, Tan turned his tone more sincere, and said again:

"What's rare is that Mr. Wang is so young, but he is so loyal. He is loyal to the emperor and the country, and he has no personal thoughts. Third brother, you and fifth brother, don't watch so closely."

Both Tan Bing and Tan Jian have the identity of Dongchang and Jinyiwei's secret piles. They used to monitor Tan Lun, Minister of the Ministry of War, and now they monitor Wang Tong. Sensitive, although Wang Tong has his own reasons, but a little careless operation is not good luck, and may cause disaster.

But when they came to Tianjin Wei, news from the capital continued to come in, indicating that the news from there might have been delivered when Huweiying left Xuanfu.

Based on General Tan's knowledge, he knew that Wang Tong's actions in the Tianjin Guards were beneficial to the country, the people and the army, but the relationship between Wang Tong and the big men in the capital was not good. If news like Tan Bing and Tan Jian were allowed to continue It has been passed down that if someone picks on a fault, it may cause a disaster, and everything will disappear.

Tan Bing stopped there, was silent for a while, then turned around with a wry smile and said:

"Brother, I'm on an errand, and it's not up to me and Lao Wu most of the time. Brother, do you think that Lao Wu and I are the only ones watching Mr. Wang in this Tianjin Wei place? Our brothers will report a few good things, and others will report it." Those who went up didn’t know how to say it, but then they said it again, my lord really doesn’t know about this matter, and I’m afraid there will be more times through spreading the word!”

***********
"Master, Sanjiang Commercial Bank, small commercial firms, and Boss Zhang's commercial firm have surplus at the end of the year. Please take a look at it, Master."

Back in Tianjin Wei, the military affairs are in good order, but there are a lot of civil and business affairs accumulated. During the day, they pay homage to the heroic spirits in the school grounds, and hold banquets in private houses at night.

It's not about taking the wind, but taking advantage of this private banquet to touch some things in advance. The surplus is just a piece of white paper, and the bottom is the handprints of Gu Zibin and Zhang Chunde to show that it is correct.

Seeing the number on the paper, Wang Tong frowned, handed the paper to Yang Sichen who was beside him, and said with a smile:
"I didn't expect to earn so much!"

Zhang Chunde is more honest and honest, but Gu Zibin is more relaxed, seeing Wang Tong's expression is quite satisfied, he said with a smile:

"Many businesses have been done by our firm early and well. Tianjin Wei's business plate is getting bigger. When customers introduce customers, it doubles and grows like a snowball. In addition, when we go to Liao Town, our family has the most goods. , plus the relationship with the master, many wealthy merchants in Liao Town have ordered goods with us, and when the goods are ready in Kaihai, they have to go again to familiarize themselves with the business. I don’t know how much more they will earn. .”

Gu Zibin was proud of what he said, and Zhang Chunde beside him also became interested, and he followed up and said:

"Your Excellency may not know that in the prefectures of Beizhili, counting the two border towns of Xuanfu and Jizhen, many merchants who come to Tianjin Wei have identified our firm. Some merchants would rather spend more money to buy The goods we handle are all under the prestige of adults!"

Originally, both of them were going to be called Master, but Zhang Chunde's daughter married Ma Sanbiao, and with this relationship, she called her Master. Bin said:
"Master's expedition this time, when I was at home to celebrate the New Year, I calculated the profit of the insurance company's construction and rental. It was really scary. The money we made, the master also saw it. If you can spend money to do it, why bother to make money for other people in Tianjin Wei, these merchants will withdraw their money and leave when they encounter trouble, if we earn this money, let the master do some big things."

Wang Tong took a sip from his teacup, shook his head and said:
"No, holding the business with Liaodong in your hands is enough to make money. We still have to earn money for leveling the land, developing plots, and building shops. Even if we want to do it, it will take five years at the latest. When the plate is big, if we share an extra piece, won't others think it?"

Although Tianjin Wei is booming and prosperous now, it is the first time after all, and everything is still unstable. Wang Tong is trying to attract merchants from all over the world to come, give them a safe and profitable environment, and give them the opportunity to make money. Sanjiang Commercial Bank has Money has power, if you intervene in those profitable businesses now, you will naturally make a lot of money, but it will also make many people afraid to enter Tianjin and do business, for fear that Sanjiang Trading Company will come to compete.

Although there are huge profits in the short term, it is not a long-term solution. Naturally, Wang Tong will not adopt it. Everyone in the house understands the idea of ​​using an insurance company to win over Tianjin Weihao merchants. Seeing Wang Tong's insistence, there will be no more of them explain.

Gu Zibin took a sip of wine, changed the subject directly, and said:
"Master, now the boat goes to Liao Town, buys goods, and brings the special products and big wood from there. When you come back, it is equivalent to bringing a boat full of silver, but the boats we can use are only eight, and we want to load more. We can only hire those sea-going ships, if they hire more, I am afraid they are familiar with this way, and they will definitely grab business by then."

Wang Tong was silent for a while when he heard this, and sighed and said:
"It's true that there aren't many ways to do it on the boat. Sanshui Wang's pinch is tight. It's really hard to find a boatman. Let's wait until the sea is opened, and then we can think of a way!"

After saying this, Zhang Shiqiang said in a muffled voice beside him:
"My lord, by the canal and the Haihe River, there are not enough policemen in and out of the city to collect money for peace. There are too many places to collect money. We have too few people. Some money can't be received. Some policemen take money for themselves, but they don't care about it. If not, there will definitely be big troubles in the future, my lord must make up his mind as soon as possible."

"This is simple. Open a school and public school, which specializes in teaching people to calculate and check accounts, and collect money to calculate money."

Wang Tong had already planned this matter, he said it this way, everyone in the room thought about it for a while, their eyes lit up, Wang Tong patted his forehead, and said again:
"Almost forgot, I brought back two carts of caustic soda from the Xuanfu..."
