Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 454
In this busy season, what does Yu Jiyong, who is not very relevant in normal times, come to do?What's more, Yu Ji Yong is really not friendly to Wang Tong, and Wang Tong has done a lot of actions that can be called "humiliating".

Moreover, he was worshiping in the mourning hall during the day, and did not watch Yu Ji Yong speak, and suddenly something happened at night.

Could it be that it is an important matter to go to the army, this is Wang Tong's first reaction, he took off the sackcloth on his body, and hurriedly walked towards the living room.

"Master Wang has worked hard today, and Yu has to come over to disturb me. I'm really sorry!"

Don't talk about the usual relations, but you still have to talk about politeness at this time. When Yu Jiyong saw Wang Tong coming in, he stood up with a smile and said hello.

Yu Jiyong was wearing a blue and black Taoist robe today, which is his daily attire. Wang Tong became more and more puzzled, so he just nodded and said politely:
"The people below are all busy, so it's not hard work. Do you have any advice from Sir Yu today?"

The guards served tea and retreated. The two sides sat down. Yu Ji Yong pondered for a while and said:
"But there is something I need to inform Mr. Wang. I got the news a certain hour ago that Cangzhou is going to set up a trap on the river, and we are also imitating Tianjin Wei to collect taxes..."

As soon as Wang Tong picked up the teacup, his eyes immediately widened when he heard this. Yu Jiyong was startled by Wang Tong's sudden change of color, but then there was a smile on his face, and he continued:

"It's like our card in Tianjin Wei. In the past, the goods were also taxed at [-]%. Tomorrow, we will block the river and set up a card. It was also a friend of Yu who has some acquaintances in Cangzhou. He came here today and told me."

"Over there in Cangzhou... except for the Changlu Salt Transport Department, which is also known as the Zhizhou Yamen, do they have such courage?"

There are seven major tax customs on the canal, which were set up by the Ministry of Households. In addition, there is the Tianjin Wei tax customs set up by Wang Tong. Needless to say, the customs office set up by the Ministry of Households is also a checkpoint on the Tianjin Wei side to raise gold flowers and silver for the palace. The righteous name of the increase, just like this, has not yet been determined.

He, Cangzhou, is only a part of the Hejian Mansion, so how could he have such great abilities? Of course, why this Bingbei Road, who is usually eager to see himself make a fool of himself, come to remind him so kindly, this is another strange thing.

"Xu Guangguo, the magistrate of Cangzhou, is the nephew of Xu Qingshan, the left servant of the household department. It is said that he is also related to the company of a certain supervisor in the palace. , and I plan to do it in the name of raising money for the palace."

Yu Jiyong really changed his temper today, he was very kind, and he explained in detail. The seven major tax customs are similar to fakes. There are very few taxes in Tianjin, precisely because the cost in other places is not high, and there are so many business opportunities in Tianjin Wei, everyone can tolerate Tianjin Wei's policy of [-]% of the real income, and the goods are shipped in and out, and come here for trade.

But if you set up cards in other places, and they come and go in Cangzhou, which is less than [-] miles away from Tianjin Wei, it is equivalent to doubling the cost of trading in Tianjin Wei.

Moreover, he is a magistrate and an eunuch, and in the name of raising funds for the palace, Wang Tong can almost predict how much he will be greedy for Moke. Will abandon the location of Tianjin Wei.

If the number of people who come here to do business decreases, there will be a series of chain reactions. Not to mention the damage and dilapidation here in Tianjin Wei, if the Cangzhou family is successful, I don’t know how many people will follow suit. trouble.

Tianjin Wei is where Wang Tong started his career. Naturally, he will not tolerate such nonsense from others, but he has to admit that the tax card setting of his own Tianjin Wei is also set up first. With this example, if other people have enough connections, they must be able to Do it, and do it with no guilt.

Seeing Wang Tong pondering there, Yu Jiyong smiled again and said:

"Ma Shangshu of the household department is 65 years old this year. He has been talking about going back to Shaanxi for retirement and returning to his hometown after returning to his hometown. This year's event has been circulated up and down. The replacement is Xu Qingshan and Xu Shilang..."

When Shangshu entered the cabinet, the servant was the one who actually did the job. Xu Qingshan could be said to be the real head of the household department. No wonder Yu Ji Yong was so bold when he said that he had a relationship with the palace.

It's just why Yu Ji Yong is so kind, Wang Tong glanced at Bing Beidao sitting on the seat, clasped his fists and said:

"This matter is indeed a big hindrance to Tianjin Wei, thank you for letting me know."

Yu Jiyong also clasped his fists in return, with a smile on his face, and said quite righteously:
"The establishment of the card in Cangzhou is a great hindrance to our Tianjin health and people's livelihood. Please, Mr. Wang, deal with it as soon as possible... Alas, Mr. Yu passed away, Mr. Wang is sad and troubled here, and it is really impolite for Mr. Yu to come and disturb you." , I hope Lord Wang will forgive me."

People's livelihood in Tianjin Wei?When Yu Ji Yong led his people to set up a card on the canal to collect taxes, Wang Tong didn't believe why he didn't talk about people's livelihood, but the news was very useful.

Both parties had to be polite, and then sent the person away, sent the person out, closed the door, Zhang Shiqiang immediately followed, and reported:
"Master Wang, Yu Jiyong has two shops by the Haihe River and another in the city. Besides, he also has an industrial firm in Linqing."

The soldier prepares Yu Ji Yong to come to the door, and there is not much difference between Wang Tong's side and night owls entering the house. Without Wang Tong's order, Zhang Shiqiang's side will send someone to investigate.

Speaking of Yu Jiyong's industry, the reason why he came here to report emerges. Linqing is also one of the hubs of the canal. The big city in Shandong is extremely prosperous. Tianjin Wei has industries, and Linqing has industries. No, it must be to make a fortune and make money.

The tax card set up in Cangzhou happens to be stuck between Linqing and Tianjin Wei, and the goods coming and going between the two places will be taxed, which will increase the cost for no reason. Fame is treated equally.

If it is an ordinary businessman who is set up by the government to collect taxes, he will admit it with a gritted teeth, just to make less money, or not to make this trip, but Yu Ji Yong is also a fourth-rank official, so he just swallowed his anger in Tianjin Wei, so plainly How could he be willing to be stripped of his skin?

"Sanbiao, you go to the sea to collect your clothes, everyone in the horse team will change into ordinary people's clothes, and then go to Cangzhou!!"

Ma Sanbiao had just been handed over from the camp, and he was still a little ignorant. Hearing Wang Tong's order, he first accepted the order, and then asked:
"My lord, it may not be enough to attack Cangzhou by relying solely on the cavalry..."

Wang Tong was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said:

"What are you going to do in Cangzhou? First, go to Hehai and prepare to change clothes. If the people don't have enough clothes, go to various shops to buy them. Buy the clothes on them. When you're ready, there will be further orders!"

Over there, Ma Sanbiao and Sun Dahai hurried out, and Wang Tong said to General Tan beside him:
"How long does it take to go from Tianjinwei to Cangzhou?"

General Tan probably guessed Wang Tong's intentions, and said in a deep voice:

"There are two ways to run. If you can't run to death in less than two days, if you are not afraid of running to death, start tonight and arrive tomorrow afternoon!!"

Wang Tong nodded, and said decisively:
"Let Tan Jian and Tan Gong bring five people each. They can choose the people they want, the horses they want to choose, as long as they don't die, and go to Cangzhou tomorrow. No matter what you say, let me block this card. Don't let them in erected on the canal."

"Master, there are also soldiers in Cangzhou. Tan Jian and Tan Gong lead ten people, even if they are elite, they may not be able to stop them..."

"No one expects them to fight, will they pull the banner and pull the tiger's skin, will they be stalking, will they be fooling around..."

After asking a few questions, General Tan smiled helplessly, and said awkwardly:
"To tell you the truth, my brothers and I really don't know how to do it. What we learned is fighting bow horses and marching to form formations."

Wang Tong also laughed, slapped his forehead and said:

"Hurry up, hurry up, go to Hang Daqiao, he should be able to do this, General Tan, you can make arrangements now...someone, call Mr. Yang and the others to come over!!"

Tan Jiang walked out quickly, and after a while, Yang Sichen rushed over. Wang Tong's mansion by the Haihe River was newly built, and the house of his cronies was directly adjacent, so it was very convenient to call.

Yang Sichen was also busy during the day. At this time, he was still sorting out the papers in the study. When he heard the call, he hurried over. When Wang Tong saw him coming in, he said with a smile:

"Write a memorial and write two private letters."

Not every place is as efficient as Tianjin Wei. There is a canal two miles away from the city in Cangzhou, but you adults may not get up so early in the morning, and the sun is shining again at noon. You adults wait until the sun is westward. Just arrived outside the city.

Setting up checkpoints in the river is quite simple, just pushing a large boat into the river. From now on, this tank boat will be the wharf checkpoint for toll fees on the river. .

Normally, you don’t even have to look at it when you come out, but set up a card on the canal. Although you are learning from Tianjin Wei, everyone is not very confident, so you must know that when Master Xu of Zhou comes out to town, all kinds of guards of honor are required. put out.

By the riverside, there were already recruited tax collectors waiting there. The backbone of the so-called tax collectors was naturally the family and servants brought by Xu Zhizhou, and the assistants were local ruffians according to the rules of the world. serve as.

The originally lively riverside, as soon as these people appeared, the people all left cleanly, and the boats that wanted to come and dock also went upstream and downstream to avoid trouble.

"The opening of this customs is also to share the worries of the Holy One. Everyone, I have definite news from my side. Within half a month, there will be an official document to designate Cangzhou as a tax customs."

Xu Guangguo, the magistrate of Cangzhou, raised his voice and said that all the people around were bowing down to flatter him, and the master standing beside Xu Guangguo quickly waved his hand towards the river.

Seeing this sign, the people standing by the boat by the river were immediately ready to push the boat into the water. At this moment, with a "Dang", an arrow was nailed to the window lattice of the cabin, and the arrow feathers kept trembling.
