Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 452 Inexplicably Asking the Famous General to Go West
Hearing the announcement from outside, Wang Tong stood up from his chair, nodded to Bao Xiaozhi, and strode out of the room.

"...I can't do it anymore" said this sentence, there is nothing rude or impolite.

When Wang Tong went out, he saw a guard who was serving at Yu Dayou's side full of anxiety. As soon as Wang Tong came out, he would go forward and report:
"Master, let's go!"

"Didn't you tell me when I went to see it in the morning, why is it like this now?"

Wang Tong quickened his pace and rushed towards the back, while asking aloud, the personal guard hurriedly followed behind and whispered:

"I drank some porridge in the morning, and I was helped to walk a few steps. When I went back, I was still lying on the bed in a daze. I never thought that I suddenly became more energetic. The doctor said it was not very good, so I asked the little one to come and invite the adults quickly! "

This was clearly a sign of returning to the light, Wang Tong's heart twitched, and he couldn't help running. The servants and guards in Wang Tong's house rarely saw Wang Tong's appearance of losing his composure. They watched in surprise and stepped away.

Yu Dayou himself lived in a single courtyard with three entrances. His two sons and their family members had already rushed over. When Wang Tong entered, the female family members in the courtyard did not treat him as an outsider, did not dodge, or had no intention of doing this at all. , several female relatives were crying on the corridor.

A middle-aged man in his 40s was looking at the door of the house. He was the eldest son of Yu Dayou. When he saw Wang Tong coming, he rushed forward and said:

"Go in quickly, my lord, my father is waiting for you..."

"My lord, drink the ginseng soup!"

As soon as he entered the door, he heard the doctor whispering there, Yu Dayou was leaning on the bed, the weakness of these days was gone, his face was faintly rosy, and his spirit was much better, he said with a smile:

"Ginseng soup is for dying people to hang their lives. This old man will not live an hour longer if he drinks this sip. If he drinks less this sip, he will not live less. No need, no need."

Wang Tong rubbed his face with his hands, and said with a smile:

"What did the old man say, the spirit has improved today, and there are still decades to live!!?"

Yu Dayou waved his hand, beckoning Wang Tong to come, and said heartily:
"For so many years, I have seen a lot of life and death. At this age, I have enough money. Why do I still live so much? Wang Tong, I have been with you for a few years, and I have seen your ability to make money and make a fortune. Needless to say, this battle training is not bad, from the martial arts hall to outside the Xuanfu Fortress, it is really amazing to be able to cut off thousands of heads at once."

Listening to Yu Dayou's loud voice of praise, Wang Tong's expression was numb, but he couldn't help but be numb. He was afraid that his expression would change and he would shed tears. Yu Dayou continued to say:
"The old man asks you, you earn so much money, train such strong soldiers, and get so stiff with civil servants, what are your plans!!?"

Wang Tong cleared his throat and said:
"Making money is to enrich the national treasury, to make the country rich and strong, to train soldiers to be loyal to the emperor and protect the country, to kill Japanese and Tartars!"

"Don't tell the old man such bureaucratic articles. There are no outsiders here. Tell me what's in your heart!"

Yu Dayou was still so forthright, he interrupted Wang Tong with a smile, Wang Tong paused, and said in a deep thought:

"It's indeed like official words, but my lord, if Wang Tong has other thoughts, why do so many useless things, why bother so much, if I don't do these things, I can definitely become a bigger official and earn more of silver..."

"Yes, yes, but you have worked hard. There are nearly a million soldiers on the Nine Sides, and more than [-] of them are capable of fighting. This is not counting the two capitals and the provinces. It is nothing if you train [-] soldiers. "

Wang Tong heard something, couldn't help but shook his head and said with a wry smile:

"My lord, I have worked so hard, and you keep saying that, it seems that I have some intentions."

When Yu Dayou heard him say this, he also smiled, and said:
"Once a person gets old, there are always some messy things going around in his head. It's uncomfortable not to say it, but it makes people laugh when he says it. It's really..."

He spoke halfway, but did not continue, and hurriedly called Wang Tong, as if he wanted to ask this inexplicable question. After asking this, it could be seen that Yu Dayou seemed to have lost his mind, and he quickly relaxed.

But as soon as he relaxed, he could see that the rosiness on Yu Dayou's face just faded away quickly, and his whole body became sluggish. Yu Dayou saw that he wanted to raise his hand, but his shoulders trembled but he didn't move. He just said weakly :
"You've only recovered for a while, but now you're tired. You should work hard. You will have a bright future. Stay with the Holy One and spend time outside. I don't know when the scholars will find out your faults. You should work hard..."

Just like that, with the help of the serving servant, he slowly lay on the bed, and when he lay down, he closed his eyes.

Yu Dayou's family members rushed into the house, Wang Tong stepped forward, but heard the old man humming some kind of song, which seemed to be a folk song village tune, with a simple rhythm and intermittent.

Wang Tong didn't think so yet, but Yu Dayou's son behind him was already crying. Wang Tong didn't know what to say for a while, but suddenly he heard Yu Dayou's voice grow louder, saying a few words in a hurry, and then nothing sound……

Compared to the voice just now, these words were already shouted. Wang Tong raised his head and looked over. Yu Dayou was lying there motionless. Arching his hands, he sighed and said:

"Boss and Immortal have passed away, please mourn."

There was loud crying in the room, Wang Tong lowered his head, raised his head after a while, and asked in a shy voice:

"What is the last sentence of the boss!?"

Although the members of the Yu family were grieved, but when they came to Tianjin Wei and saw Yu Dayou getting weaker and weaker day by day, they were naturally heartbroken when he passed away, but they were prepared in their hearts after all, and they also knew that they might rely on the place of Lord Wang in the future Many, Yu Dayou's eldest son turned around and replied:

"My father spoke the dialect of his hometown, saying 'Kill the Japanese pirates!'..."

The most brilliant deed of Yu Dayou's life was the suppression of the Japanese and the suppression of the chaos. When Wang Tong heard about it, he was stunned there for a while, and then went on to pay homage.

**************
Yu Dayou's job title was not high at that time, but his status was extremely high. When he passed away, Wang Tong's side not only made arrangements for the funeral, but also sent someone to report to the capital.

After the death of such famous generals, the capital will receive awards and gifts. Firstly, it is to evaluate this person's life, and secondly, to consider whether to shelter future generations. Apart from considerations of court etiquette, there are so many things in private, and there are so many troubles , but Wang Tong doesn't need to worry about these things, his own people will take care of them.

Even so, there are still many things that need to be confirmed by Wang Tong, and he is very busy every day. In May, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the corpse cannot be parked for too long. The funeral is going to be held on the second day of June, which is considered busy. A paragraph, on the night of the first day of June, a group of people gathered in Wang Tong's study to sort out the recent affairs together.

"My lord, news came back from the Department of Public Security that my lord will posthumously present the Zuo Dudu."

Cai Nan flipped through the paper and said, Wang Tong frowned, Zuo Dudu is just an honorary title, it is of no benefit at all, and the children will not get any protection, he asked:
"With the meritorious service of the boss and the experience of teaching martial arts to the emperor, can't you be named uncle? What's the use of the title of Zuo Dudu?"

General Tan sighed and said:

"My lord, my lord has had many ups and downs in his life. Before he came to the capital, he had no real job. It is already a favor from the palace to be able to posthumously present the Zuo Dudu."

Wang Tong waved his hand and said irritably:

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, what request does the elder's family have, we will try our best to meet it here, and don't let them be wronged."

Getting along day and night seems to be the death of a relative, which naturally makes people sad, but the few questions Yu Dayou had when he was dying made Wang Tong very uncomfortable. When thinking about it, he felt a little inexplicably uncomfortable.

After finishing talking over there, Sun Dahai said here:
"My lord, three days ago, Shopkeeper Gu and Shopkeeper Zhang came to report that there were businessmen from Zhejiang and Fujian who wanted to buy large quantities of alkali and ship it out for sale, but I don't know how the tax is determined?"

On the Tianjin Wei side, the southern goods shipped by sea ships are all produced in Jiangnan, and most of the goods that can be shipped out are sold to Japan and Nanyang. The Haihe River usually charges heavy taxes, but this large-scale transaction is also expensive. Only in the past few months, so I came to ask.

Wang Tong pondered for a while, and said:
"A tax of [-] percent."

Those who knew a little about Tianjin Wei’s taxes all raised their heads in surprise. On the rivers and seas, the minimum is [-]%. This base is so profitable, why only [-]% is charged. Seeing the expressions of everyone, Wang Tong opened his mouth to explain said:
"Alkaline comes from the north, and they are all brought in by oxen, horses and carts. In terms of the cost of transportation, there is no difference between transporting to Tianjin and other places. Only then will the supply come in a steady stream, and we have already made great profits in terms of business, and it is also good for taxation."

Wang Tong's words were a decision. After hearing the explanation, everyone nodded, and Yang Sichen quickly took notes. According to the rules, he will write them down for Wang Tong tomorrow, so that the rules will be formed as soon as possible.

"The additional amount of gold flowers and silver given to the palace has already left the city this morning. This time, 25 taels will be sent. If there is no accident, in the second half of July this year, all the silver that should be paid this year will be paid."

"Come back on horseback. From now on, I will give away one hundred thousand at a time. Don't give away the one-year quota so quickly!"

Wang Tong said something in a cold voice, Zhang Shiqiang who reported it was stunned, and quickly got up to make arrangements, Wang Tong also stood up, walked a few steps in the room, walked to the door and turned around and asked:

"Has Bao Xiaozhi from Haizhou left?"

"Three days after I left that day, I sent someone to inform me that I would like to have more hospitality from my lord. He has returned to Haizhou."

Sun Dahai hurriedly answered, Wang Tong patted his forehead and said:
"I was in a hurry that day, and I always felt like I forgot something?"
