Chapter 498 Seeing the Old Man Establishing a Bank

"The former governor of Cangzhou, Xu Guangguo, is asking to see your lord?"

Although he was busy with military affairs, Wang Tong was still taken aback when he heard the name. Wasn't Xu Guangguo, the governor of Cangzhou, the one who set up a card on the Canal of Cangzhou to rob tax some time ago?
It was also thanks to him that he had the face to claim to be the former magistrate of Cangzhou. Xu Guangguo was dismissed after being forcibly stopped by Wang Tong. If it wasn't for his uncle Xu Qingshan, the servant of the household department, he would have been imprisoned by now.

In Wang Tong's impression, this person is just a dude who just wanted to take advantage of the loopholes. He didn't take it to heart at all. The temporary eyeliner he arranged in Cangzhou was also a reward. He said that Xu Guangguo left Cangzhou in a hurry after he was dismissed. .

No one thought that Xu Guangguo would come to ask for an interview on his own initiative today. On that day, he set up a card, Wang Tong sent elite troops to harass him, and finally sent out the cavalry, causing Cangzhou to lose all face. Is this Xu Guangguo's brain broken, or After eating the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard, he actually came to the door on his own initiative.

"So busy, why see him, no see!"

Wang Tong's answer was crisp and clear, and the guards bowed out, but the military was busy, some people could not be seen, but some people had to meet.

For example, Chen Sibao and others who came from the capital again. For Wang Tong, these honored children of the capital, the relationship between classmates in Huwei Martial Arts Hall is not bad. The key is that they have a few hundred thousand taels of silver to invest in Tianjin Wei. There will definitely be more in the future. There is really a lot of gold and silver accumulated in the hands of wealthy people in the capital. It is a great thing for both parties to attract this wealth to Tianjin Wei.

"Shout Ma Sanbiao to go to the racecourse, this officer will set off now."

Wang Tong gave an order to get up and go out. Uncle Xiangcheng, the Chen family, the Huangshang Tang family and several other families invested a total of more than 30 taels of silver in Tianjin Wei, and the insurance company and Sanjiang Commercial Bank each contributed a sum of money. , Collected nearly a million taels of silver for loan turnover and guarantee.

Under the current situation, this money has earned a large amount of dividends as expected. The fleet from Tianjinwei to Liaozhen, as well as the border trade to Xuanfu and the grassland, these two businesses are stable profits No, but many merchants can't make up the money because they need too much money at one time, so they need to borrow money and pay it back when the turnover comes.

According to the original arrangement, the bonus will be sent directly to the capital, and it will be safe with the team escorting gold flowers and silver. Send it over there, and they will send someone to pick it up. If there are other arrangements, they will leave it to them.

Wang Tong can also probably guess that these Huahua Taisui are probably tired of staying in Beijing, and they come to Tianjin Wei to play. Such a prosperous place, the novelty of the prosperous world is incomparable, and the wealthy children of the capital naturally flock to it.

Chen Sibao and others arrived the day before yesterday, but Wang Tong had just received the order, and when he couldn't get away, he was conveyed his apology, saying that he had hosted a banquet for the past few days to welcome the wind.

Chen Sibao and the others were happy and at ease, wandering around in the past few days, very happy, but for some reason they saw the horse farm of Huweiying in the northeast of the city.

These people are also somewhat different from those young masters who are addicted to wine and sex. Chen Sibao and Tang Sihai are quite fond of martial arts, and naturally they are extremely fond of armored horses.

At the beginning of the Xuanfu period, Wang Tong brought back thousands of cattle and horses outside the Great Wall. In the end, only [-] horses arrived in Tianjin Wei. They were all well-selected horses. After being trained, they became more and more vigorous, and each horse could be called a steed.

Chen Sibao and the others immediately fell in love with it, so they sent people to ask for it, and it would be alright to give it to them. Wang Tong agreed, but this group of people didn't know what kind of temper they wanted, and wanted Wang Tong to go there in person, so they had a banquet and discussed there.

It's nothing more than the fact that everyone likes a lively and fresh banquet, and there must be a welcome banquet. It doesn't matter where it is set up. Wang Tong was a little dizzy with the military affairs arrangements these days, so he agreed.

***********
The gate of Wang Tong's mansion was opened, dozens of horsemen escorted Wang Tong out, Wang Tong went out to look at the two sides, but he met a man standing on the right side of the gate, that man was wearing a gray Taoist robe, his beard and hair looked like he hadn't seen him for many days The tidying up looked rather downcast, but when he saw Wang Tong looking over, the man shouted:
"Master Wang, the villain Xu Guangguo is asking to see you!"

While speaking, he knelt down, and the guards at the side looked over, Wang Tong just shook the reins, and said:
"Ignore him, let's go!"

The guards suddenly agreed, rode their horses together, and walked away. The guards at the door gave Xu Guangguo who was kneeling there a cold look. His lord didn't say that he would drive him away, but just closed the door on his own. Xu Guangguo hesitated. He slammed down, but still knelt there without moving.

Tianjinwei goes out of the city to the northeast. Because it is close to the sea, there are many salt flat wastelands. In addition, the sea was banned during the Jiajing period, and a large number of wastelands were moved inward for dozens of miles. Now Tianjinwei is prosperous, but most of the people from all over the world live on both sides of the canal. And the area to the west and south of Tianjin Wei, but the north is not very populated.

This is convenient for Huwei Camp, several training grounds and new horse farms are built there.

On the way, Ma Sanbiao led people to meet Wang Tong's team. Since Wang Tong gave the order, all the battalions were preparing, and so was the horse team. The Sanjiaodian Craftsman had made some things. Wang Tong also knew about the equipment over there. Ma Sanbiao reported a few words about the progress, and the two sides continued to move forward.

In Tianjin Wei, if anyone likes this side of the racecourse the most, it is Ma Sanbiao. He and his cavalry are stationed here for a long time, taking care of the horses and training troops every day.

Ma Sanbiao's father-in-law Zhang Chunde is quite satisfied with this son-in-law, but he often complains in front of Wang Tong that his granddaughter is taken too crazy by Ma Sanbiao, she can ride a horse at a young age, just like a boy , This is also one of Tianjin Wei's jokes.

When he got to the racecourse, the first thing Wang Tong said when he got off his horse was to say with a smile:

"You guys are going to burn this racecourse!"

"Brother Wang, we brothers have cleared the surrounding vegetation once, and nothing will happen!"

Watching Wang Tong get off his horse, Chen Sibao and Tang Sihai greeted him with smiles and clasped fists. If it turned out that Chen Sibao was a garrison of the Beijing camp, and his rank was higher than Wang Tong's Jinyiwei, who was a thousand households. Now Wang Tong is already a member of the Huwei camp. As an official, Jin Yiwei commanded him, and his rank was higher than that of Chen Sibao.

On the east side of the racecourse, Chen Sibao and his team cleared out a space, set up a shelf, lit a fire and roasted a sheep on it, while a few attendants around were constantly turning there, brushing it with condiments.

A piece of felt was spread on the side, and there were food boxes and wine jars on it, which looked like a picnic. After a few people saw the ceremony, they sat down together with a smile.

"Grass grows everywhere here, and there are herds of good horses over there. It looks like a grassland beyond the Great Wall. Let's learn how the tartar eats on the grassland!"

After Ma Sanbiao said hello, he went to the racecourse. After Chen Sibao sat down, he said with a smile, and Tang Sihai followed him:
"Lighting a fire on the grassland requires clearing the surrounding vegetation. This is what Yu Jiaoxi said at the Tiger Mighty Martial Arts Hall."

Speaking of this, everyone fell silent. When it came to Yu Dayou who had passed away, the atmosphere was a bit heavy. Tang Sihai looked around and said with a self-conscious smile:
"I made a slip of the tongue when I said such things, little ones, serve the dishes!!"

The sheep over there had been roasting for a while. Hearing the yelling, someone took a knife and cut off the meat from the roast sheep, and served it on a silver plate. Tang Sihai first explained:

"At that time, I heard the news that Yu taught Xixian to go, and our brothers also wanted to come here to pay homage, but you also know, Brother Wang, that there are various inconveniences in doing things for brothers who are waiting in Beijing."

It is no problem for the nobles of the capital to be domineering and extravagant, but if they show inclinations in the officialdom and political arena, then they must be extremely careful. This kind of worship also falls into this category. Of course, these latecomers It's hard to say whether the aristocratic son of the mighty martial arts hall has sincerity.

It's good to remember, and Wang Tong didn't want to get too entangled in this issue. He waved his hand, picked up a piece of mutton with a dagger, and put it in his mouth. He nodded and said:
"The taste has gone in, it's good!"

He said this, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed. Tang Sihai opened the food box with a smile, and there were all kinds of seasonal fresh fruits and dishes inside. Chen Sibao said with a smile:

"But I didn't expect that you have so many good horses, Brother Wang. The capital and Beizhili, such a good horse is either from a marquis or above, or it is in the hands of the guarding general. It is not easy to get a horse. The Shaanxi side Yes, but it is too troublesome to come here, after the brothers joined the army, they have not been able to find any good horses, but they did not expect it would be easy, Brother Wang, sell some horses to the brothers!"

"Why do you say buy it? Go in and choose it later, and if you choose it, it will be sent to you!"

Having said that, the atmosphere became more relaxed. Chen Sibao thanked him with a laugh, and said again:
"There are so many bonuses for the money invested in a year. Many people who wait and see at the capital are tempted. This time, the bonuses are not brought back. They brought some more and put them on Tianjin Wei's side. Give birth to silver!!"

"How much did you bring in total!?"

"Fifteen's money, including bonuses and capital invested last year, is a total of more than 82 taels."

Hearing this number, Wang Tong pondered for a while, he had a plan for this, and immediately said:
"I will pay another one million taels here, and the 100 million taels will be used as the principal. How about calling the store Sanjiang Qianzhuang?"

"Brother Wang is the one who decides the name. Everyone puts the money here and asks Brother Wang to help with the business and make money, but it won't be of much help. If Brother Wang needs anything in the capital, just ask..."

"With Brother Wang's relationship, why do you still need to talk to you and me about what to do in the capital? What a joke!"

In the fifth year of Wanli, there was a saying that there were money shops. Before that, the folks already had the concept of money shops, but this article refers to junior banks.
