Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 449
In the second half of March, Tianjin Guard gradually became lively, and the Ministry of War was reluctant in every possible way, but since Tianjin Guard had reported the merits, it still sent a member of the Military Selection Department, a member of the Military Selection Department, and a head officer to inspect the head.

Naturally, there was nothing wrong with the inspection, so I wrote an official document to confirm and reported it. The fast horse contact between Tianjin Wei and the capital, Wang Tong has already got the news, saying that Wang Tong's promotion from a thousand households to a commander is already a matter of course. It's a done deal.

The plan of the business school has also been communicated with the major businesses in Tianjin Wei, and everyone applauds it without exception. The lack of useful manpower makes everyone feel that it is a lot of trouble. There is such a convenient solution, and everyone is really happy. .

Now everyone has a lot of money in their hands. To build a big house and provide some food, the money spent is really nothing, and they can afford it, not to mention the people trained in it have to use it for themselves.

After opening the sea, Sanjiang Commercial Bank teamed up with more than a dozen merchants to transport goods to Liao Town by sea, but the lack of ships is still a shortcoming. After the sea ships in the south are unloaded, it depends on whether the other party can spare time to run This time, Wang Tong is still looking for a boat builder.

The Portuguese craftsmen have adapted to the life in Tianjin Wei. Although they don’t have much personal freedom now, and they have to be followed and monitored when they go in and out, they are doing business in the extremely prosperous Tianjin Weihai River with a much higher salary than before. Walking around the area, people have a lot of expectations.

Haihe inspection Tangshan recruited a group of young men from fishermen and sailors, and now they have started to learn various skills on the Feilu.

The dozens of Portuguese soldiers who followed Wang Tong to the outside of the Great Wall and fought together were still silent. Although they moved from the isolated area to Wang Tong's new factory, they were few in number, and they were meticulous in training every day. Wang Tong's side The soldiers of the Huwei Battalion were also paid according to the usual practice. These Fan soldiers had actually made a gesture, but Wang Tong didn't have much time to pay attention to it now.

Lijia's fur shop opened in the best part of the commercial area, and the business was very good just after opening. All kinds of fur goods are the favorite of sea merchants, and there are many things that can be sold overseas.

It was exactly as Wang Tong thought. After Wang Tong sent back the money he earned from the two carts of caustic soda, Ma Yun, the steward of Ma Fang, the former general of the Xuan Mansion, came to Tianjin Wei in person. A warehouse that sells all kinds of special products from the north. Wang Tong guessed that the special products are most likely the alkali.

Sanjiang Commercial Bank has already sent people to Xuanfu. Although the demand for various materials there is not as huge as Liaozhen, it is still not small. More importantly, some merchants in Xuanfu do not only represent themselves. It is often related to this or that tribe on the grassland, and there are many demands for this.

On the fifth day of April, Liao Town sent people to bring various special products from the northern regions outside the pass, as well as large logs tied into rafts.

***********
Chai Fulin had already arrived in Fenzhou on March 25th. He lived in the largest inn in the city, and every day he sent someone to visit Yongsheng Boyu's house.

Shanxi merchants engaged in border trade and salt and iron trade are now an important commercial force in Ming Dynasty, and Fenzhou and Taiyuan are the two centers of Shanxi merchants.

Although Fenzhou is just a small state city, its prosperity is not inferior to that of Taiyuan Datong. The extravagant enjoyment of the capital and Nanjing is not lacking here. Chai Fulin lives in the private courtyard of the inn, as if it is a separate business of a big family. , there is no shortage of delicious food and beauty every day.

At the beginning, Chai Fulin came to Fenzhou quite easily, but as the days went by, his temper became more and more serious. On the fifth day of April, his long follower came into Chai Fulin's room dejectedly with a post and entered the door. After that, he bowed his head and said:
"Master, the Yu family still doesn't let the young one in, and just threw the post back."

Chai Fulin was drinking a bowl of lotus seed soup there, but when he heard Chang Sui's words, he widened his eyes and slammed the lotus seed soup in his hand.

Hearing the commotion inside, a big man outside stretched out his hand to open the door, looked inside, and then closed the door again. Chai Fulin pointed at the attendant and cursed:

"Useless things, how many red envelopes did the concierge of the Yu family give, did you embezzle them again!!"

Hearing that, the long follower knelt down on the ground with a plop, and said:
"Master, the young one never dared to swallow a cent of the 300 taels of red envelopes, and the young ones even had the courage to promise him a word, pass it on, and give him another 200 taels."

Panting heavily, Chai Fulin asked:

"He still doesn't want 500 taels..."

"Master, he asked for it. He went in once, but when he came out, he threw the money on the little one. He looked like he was beaten."

Hearing this, Chai Fulin slapped the table heavily and cursed:
"Get out, get out, call the leopard in!!"

The long heel ran out of the house, but the big man who was guarding the door came in, closed the door after entering, Chai Fulin calmed down, and said in a low voice:

"Leopard, can you go in once and see how my second brother is doing?"

The big man called "Leopard" was silent for a while, shook his head, and replied in a deep voice:

"The guards of the Yu family are all from the ranks of soldiers. His youngest son is still working in Datong Town. He rotates the elite with the young and strong in the family every year. Therefore, the mansion is tightly closed and it is difficult to get in. If you really want to I'm afraid that if it gets too big, it will delay the master and the second master."

Chai Fulin cursed a few words in a low voice, and said in a hateful voice:

"It's really not humane. It's just a matter of money. It's such a troublesome thing. Leopard, you go and have a look tomorrow..."

**************
Yongsheng Boyu's family is an honorable man married to the royal family, and his family is the largest in Fenzhou. The mansion occupies half of the city, not to mention the manor outside the city.

In the Earl's mansion in the city, in addition to the various houses where the master's house and servants live, there are also many houses specially for guests to live in, and of course there are dungeons and other places where lynchings are carried out.

The servant girls in the Earl's Mansion occasionally discussed something recently, saying that the twelfth lunar month in the mansion came and went, and the honored guest who came back in the first month was rounded up for some reason at the beginning of March. His personal guards are guarding, and no one is allowed to enter or leave.

The food sent in has also changed from the first-class food to the poor food that even the servants don't eat. According to those well-informed people, they may be sent to the dungeon in a few days.

What is the status of Uncle Yongsheng's family, even if someone is killed in the mansion, it can cover up the past. Although the servants are all guessing, they dare not say more, and the two housekeepers in the mansion often go to see it. Not allowed.

When Chai Fulin lost his temper in the inn where he lived, the big housekeeper of Uncle Yongsheng was at the gate of the house where the "circle people" lived. Several guards at the gate greeted him politely. One of the leaders said:
"Housekeeper, it's not that you have no rules. The master ordered that anyone who enters or exits must have the master's sign."

"Here is the waist plate. You did the right thing. You should keep a close eye on this door. No one is allowed to enter or leave without the master's sign."

The butler took out a waist card and handed it over, and encouraged the guard a few words. The boss thanked him politely, but he was still meticulous in checking the waist card, and after verifying that it was correct, he ordered his men to unlock the door.

Someone followed the butler into the house, and the two inside were unlocked, but there were five guard posts around the outer wall, so they couldn't get out at all.

After entering the main entrance, before entering the room, a middle-aged man greeted him, smiled and clasped his fists and said:

"Fourth Brother Yu, long time no see, why do you have the time to come here today?"

The butler waved his hand, asked his followers to stand outside the door, and said calmly:
"Second Lord Lin, my family is talking to those people in the north. Thousands of riders died, and they cannot be concealed from top to bottom. However, their King Khan is on the Tubo side, so there is still room for change."

The middle-aged man nodded with a smile, and he couldn't tell that he was the one being surrounded. After finishing talking over there, he said:
"We still have to bother the uncle. We didn't expect such a big incident to happen. It doesn't matter if you spend money. Just ask for an amount, and the capital can raise it."

The butler shook his head, sighed and said:
"Old Lin, you can hold your breath. To tell you the truth, if the north doesn't want to calm down like this, your life will be lost."

"Oh, I didn't expect that this matter would go so wrong. What is this head? It's just that we don't want to get along with each other."

While talking, someone outside raised his voice and said:
"Boss, the people from Tianjin Weiyongsheng Warehouse are here, and there is something urgent to report."

The butler got up and nodded, and went out by himself. When the door of the house outside was locked again, the friendly smile on the middle-aged man's face disappeared without a trace. Three dressed attendants walked out, and the middle-aged man asked:
"Is there any chance?"

"It is strictly guarded outside, there is no loophole to take advantage of."

**************
In the lobby of Uncle Yongsheng’s house, an old man in Chinese clothes was sitting upright, two middle-aged men in rich and noble clothes stood beside him, and at the bottom was the big housekeeper, who was kneeling at the door. The servant young man opened his mouth and said:
"Master, Young Master, Steward Qiu and the shopkeepers in the warehouse looked at the alkali together. Except for the ones from the north, there is no such good quality anywhere else..."

"Could it be that someone in the warehouse sold it privately!?"

A middle-aged man asked, and the young man kowtowed again, and reported:
"Back to the Eldest Young Master, Steward Qiu has checked the goods three times and checked the accounts several times. It is absolutely impossible for the warehouse to sell out by itself."

All the people in the room had anxious expressions on their faces, Qiqi cast their eyes on the old man sitting there, the old man in fine clothes pondered for a while, and then said:
"Send someone to Boyu's side to ask if there is anyone else involved in this business... Sifu, you can arrange it. The Lin family's hospitality will be better."
