Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 476
On July [-]th, Wang Tong, a thousand households stationed in Tianjin Jinyiwei, left Tianjin for business. It is said that the officials guarding one side should not leave the jurisdiction lightly, but Wang Tong was obviously an exception, and everyone was used to it.

Tianjin Wei has its own rules for various affairs, and Wang Tong's short-term departure does not affect the normal operation of the entire system, and no one cares about it.

Coupled with the recent assassination incident, many people speculated that Mr. Wang might be relaxing in Zhuangzi near Tianjinwei, or that he just let out smoke, but he did not leave Tianjinwei.

More discerning people noticed that there was no shortage of soldiers and servants in Jinyiwei of Tianjin Wei, and the training and inspections everywhere were as usual, which further showed that Wang Tong had not gone far.

But this is not the main concern of everyone. The most important thing in Tianjinwei is to do business and make a fortune. Since the smooth sailing in April, insurance companies have provided insurance, and Sanjiang Commercial Bank has taken the lead to go to Liao Town twice.

Every time I go, I leave with a full load and return with a full load. Often, a large number of logs are dragged behind the boat.

Merchants with some strength want to participate, but the ships are limited, and Sanjiang Commercial Bank has to do a long-term business, so they are strict with those who participate, so every time they try to grab it.

Originally, it would take the second half of August to collect the boats for the third trip, but due to the sudden addition of dozens of seagoing ships, Sanjiang Trading Company plans to assemble the caravan again in early August, so that they can at least run three more times before the year.

With three more opportunities, countless people can take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune. Every day, Gu Zibin and Zhang Chunde are unable to manage accounts normally, and businessmen from all over Tianjin Wei have to step through the threshold. In the end, I can only hide and see no visitors.

The merchants now only hate why they didn't invest in the insurance company. Those who have a part in the insurance company are considered powerful, and they will be selected first when they go to Liao Town.

Most people couldn't see the managers of Sanjiang Commercial Bank, but a few merchants received private invitations from Sanjiang Commercial Bank at this juncture, which really surprised and delighted them.

"...your account is owned by the Yamen of the Chief Secretary of Shandong..."

"...The proprietor of your name is the Shandong Governor's Office..."

"...I didn't expect you to be owned by Duke Yansheng..."

"... Lu Wang Qiansui is too low-key, wouldn't it be good to say hello early..."

These shops were invited to come here, but they were surprised to find that the details of their own houses were found out by Sanjiang Trading Company, but this is not a secret, and those who are interested can find out after a little investigation.

"My lord Wang has ordered that since your name has such a long history, if you go to Liao Town for business, this time you will naturally be counted as a part of your name, but there are some things that will cause trouble..."

Being able to go to Liao Town once is almost worth a few months of business, and if you do well, it can be worth a year. The money is earned for the family, and no one will have trouble with the money.

**************
"Master, Dongguang County is ahead."

"Find a big car shop outside the city, let them prepare food and fodder first, and we can settle down there!"

"Follow orders!!"

A soldier immediately agreed, and turned his mount to go there first. Wang Tong stood up from the grass by the river, and all the people around him also stood up. After a little tidying up, they all mounted their horses. action.

"Master Wang..."

"It's all in casual clothes, so why are you here, call me a master!"

"Master Wang, since you are willing to take action, you must not be careless. This kind of person, let alone save the whole family. If something happens to you, Dong can take care of him."

Wang Tong is now dressed like a rich man, and his subordinates, including Dong Chuangxi, are all dressed as servants. Hearing what Dong Chuangxi said, Wang Tong said:
"How many Wu family brothers are there? I remember that Mr. Dong said that there are more than a hundred riders. That's right!!"

Seeing Dong Chuangxi nodding, Wang Tong said again:
"He has more than a hundred riders, and this officer has brought a hundred people, so it's called carelessness."

Dong Chuangxi became a little anxious when he heard this, and said with gestures:

"They are all bandits and robbers. More than a hundred riders are enough to serve as thousands of officers and soldiers. They come and go like the wind. I beg my lord to bring my battalion to destroy them, but my lord also brought a hundred people. This is not a child's play. , Dangerous, extremely dangerous!!"

"Oh? A hundred thieves are to be feared, but a hundred soldiers are not to be relied upon. Do you think that the elite of this officer are as useless as your officers and soldiers in Shandong?"

Being pushed back hard by Wang Tong, Dong Chuangxi opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything. He sighed and got on his horse with a frowning face to keep up with the team.

Thousands of Wang Tong beheaded more than 200 heads of Tartars on the grasslands. Dong Chuangxi knew about this great achievement. The number of beheadings shows that Wang Tong's soldiers and horses are still strong. We can count on inviting them to Shandong to suppress the thieves this time. Wang Tong was asked to bring these thousands of people there, but he did not expect that Wang Tong only brought one hundred and five people with him.

One person with two horses or three horses. Sure enough, young people are not very reliable in their work, and they see bandits as a joke. Wu Jiayong has hundreds of bandits on his hummerous horses, and nearly a thousand ordinary officers and soldiers can't stop them from charging. These more than 100 people can be a What, Dong Chuangxi looked at it immediately, and sighed again, what can those fanatics do, they just look scary.

While sighing there, Dong Chuangxi heard the sound of horseshoes behind him, and before he turned his head, someone whispered "my own people", and Dong Chuangxi didn't even bother to look at it.

Since leaving Tianjin Wei, several times or once a day, there are fast horses chasing up from Tianjin Wei, as if there is something to inform Wang Tong. and go.

He worked so hard at such a young age, don’t he know the joy of being an official? Dong Chuangxi slandered him countless times. He was about to arrive in Dongguang County. After passing through Dongguang County, it took only a day and a half to ride a horse and he was about to enter Shandong. Twice during the day it was a fast horse messenger from the south.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like you are seriously preparing to suppress the thieves. You really don't know the severity. If something happens, you don't know how to explain it. Thinking of this, Dong Chuangxi thought of one thing. If Wang Tong really made any mistakes in Shandong, he must If the court is alarmed, no matter how rampant the Wu family is, they will probably be wiped out completely. This is not a bad thing.

Dong Chuangxi's eyes flickered there, thinking wildly, but the others ignored him at all and marched forward on their own.

************
They themselves thought it was a march, but outsiders thought it was a rich man traveling with a caravan. A team of hundreds of strong men and hundreds of horses is not something ordinary people can afford.

Since Tianjin Wei started, along the canal all the way south, along the Hejianfu canal line, there are counties or towns every one hundred or fifty miles.

These cities and towns, relying on the canal and being influenced by the prosperity of Tianjin Wei and the Changlu Salt Field, are quite prosperous. Wang Tong's group marches, and they don't have to worry about food and fodder supplies.

Dongguang County is 110 miles away from Dezhou, and it is on the edge of the canal. It is also considered an important place for transportation. There are large car shops and inns outside the city. However, a team of Wang Tong's size still cannot stay in one shop. Wang Tong sent People ordered four big car shops, and then they settled down.

With so many people, the big car shop in the county town didn't even dare to take the job, they all thought it was a scammer, but fortunately, when they threw in a lot of money, they immediately knew that the God of Wealth had come to the door, and hurried to buy it.

After a few days of driving, Wang Tong and his party were also a little tired. After they unloaded the harness and luggage of the horses, they arranged for night watchmen to greet them and went to rest.

General Tan did not follow this time. Six generals from the Tan family, including Tan Bing, Tan Jian, and Tan Gong, were bodyguards. Wang Tong lived in a private courtyard. Practice with a long gun to relax your body.

When he was practicing, someone greeted him outside the courtyard. Tan Jian who was sitting beside him went to open the door, but Li Tao walked in. After entering, he bowed and reported:

"My lord, Dong Qianhu is changing clothes and will be here soon."

Wang Tong nodded and said:
"You and Sun Xin are on duty tonight. If there is any news coming from the north and south, no matter if I sleep or not, you must let me know immediately!"

Li Tao stood at attention and took the order, turned around and went out, Tan Jian looked out when closing the door, turned around and said with a smile:

"Master, coming out this time is an eye-opener. I used to think that these people only use swords and spears, and then they have excellent firearms, but I didn't expect that there are weapons like Xuanhua axes."

Wang Tong knew exactly what kind of weapon Tan Jian was referring to as the Xuanhua axe. It was about four feet shorter than the Ming-style spear, and it also had a spear tip, which was one-third shorter than the normal spear tip. There is also a half-foot-long small ax with a wide blade and a pointed end at the end of the ax body.

Such a long-handled weapon was requested by Hans. His ten Fans were stroked. Although everyone could shoot firecrackers, four of them used cold weapons on weekdays, two with spears and two with guns. The most important thing is this "Xuanhua axe".

The name of the Fan people is definitely not "Xuanhua Axe", but no one has any convincing means of translating the pronunciation.

Hans made a request, and Wang Tong asked the workshop to make it. This is extremely simple, and all the materials are available. Moreover, the Fanren craftsmen are obviously familiar with this weapon, and luckily brought the weapon over on the third day.

************
Wang Tong sent someone to greet him, Dong Chuangxi naturally did not dare to neglect, he arrived soon, and Wang Tong asked directly after entering the door:
"Have you ever heard of a man named Gai Iron Tower?"

After hearing this name, Dong Chuangxi was taken aback, and then said:

"The iron tower was built by Dahao in Yantou Town outside Jinan City. There are four miles and eight villages, and everyone knows his name everywhere."

Wang Tong nodded with a smile, but turned away from the next question, and asked with a smile:

"Is there anyone under Master Dong who can be trusted?"
