Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 571
"Sea monkey, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are quite fat for nothing!?"

Hearing Wang Tong's joke, the sea monkey kowtowed respectfully, and replied cautiously:
"Thanks to the great master's kindness, the villain has such a blessing."

The sea monkey has indeed become much fatter than when he first came to Tianjin Wei. It's no wonder that he was under house arrest all day long, with much less activities and regular meals, so he didn't treat him badly.Living in this way, people are like enjoying a blessing, and gradually gain weight.

There was no one else in the room except General Tan, Wang Tong asked with a smile:

"What kind of wives and children does Shen Wang have?"

The sea monkey hesitated, and said:
"Shen Wang went out to sea because he broke his family back then. There should be no one in the family. When he was 23 years old, he got a wife in Fujian and gave birth to a boy and two girls."

Wang Tong listened very carefully. Seeing his expression, the sea monkey became more cautious, paused, and continued:
"At the age of 23, Shen Wang already had more than 400 people and dozens of boats under his command. No one with such status at sea had more than a dozen wives to raise in the back house. Shen Wang was very precious, so he didn't buy any more , but in the fifth year of Longqing, when Shen Wang went out to sea to do business, his enemy led people to steal the way, and everyone in the family died in that incident."

"It's not easy to be where you are today!"

Wang Tong sighed, and the sea monkey answered:

"It was after this incident that Shen Wang's heart hardened. After two years of fighting, everyone recognized him as the master!"

"He has such a big business in his hands, it's not good that he doesn't even have an heir, should he marry again?"

"Reporting to what the old man said, Shen Wang is still alone so far, and his foundation is located in Hirado, Japan, and I don't see him having a woman, but he just went to a yard or something."

Wang Tong pondered for a while, and asked:
"Who do you pass on the rules of the sea, your own men and ships? Don't you give them to your children and grandchildren?"

The sea monkey had a puzzled look on his face, probably because he was confused by Wang Tong's question, but he didn't dare to be negligent, and he replied in a well-regulated way:
"When the old man is joking, the hard-earned things will naturally be kept for his children and grandchildren."

Wang Tong knocked on the tea table beside him, pondered for a while, then waved his hand and said;
"Go down, stay in that house with peace of mind, sooner or later you will benefit."

The sea monkey kowtowed again, and he was taken down by Wang Tong's soldiers. Just as he left the house, Wang Tong suddenly asked General Tan:

"If someone hijacks Da Hu and Er Hu and asks you to come to harm me, what will you do?"

Tan Jiang was taken aback, this question was too abrupt and rude, Tan Jiang is not the kind of person who pretends to be false, and this question is indeed difficult to answer, he hesitated for a long time but did not say anything, Wang Tong smiled He waved his hand and said:
"Don't be embarrassed, this kind of thing won't happen, but one thing is certain...Call Mr. Yang to come in!"

Not long after, Yang Sichen walked into the room and saw Wang Tong sitting there with a smile on his face. These days it was rare to see Wang Tong in such a good mood. As soon as he met the ceremony, Wang Tong said:
"Mr. Yang, first draw up an official document, saying that there are bandits fleeing Xianghe County in Tianjin Wei. Because of the seriousness of the relationship, Jin Yiwei will go to arrest them. After finishing writing, I will take it to Gao Tongzhi of the Qing Military Office for seal, and ask him to write it according to the rules. A written notice."

Tianjin Wei is in Hejian Mansion, Xianghe County is in Shuntian Mansion, Jinyiwei is not limited by this prefecture, but it is more convenient to have official documents to support the matters between the two prefectures.

Yang Sichen was also familiar with making this kind of official letterhead, and he finished it overnight. After writing it, he handed it to Wang Tong for reading. He took Wang Tong's notice letterhead and hurried to Tianjin Qingjun Office to handle the errand.

Not long after Yang Sichen went out, Sun Dahai was called into the house again, and Wang Tong said:
"Now go to buy a house. The two-entry house has all the furniture. The maids, servants, cooks, and servants are all set up together. I will give you three days. Don't worry about money. It doesn't matter whether you are inside or outside the city, stay away from us. The soldiers and officers are nearer."

Seeing that Wang Tong was smiling, and he was talking about building a house again, Sun Dahai couldn't help thinking about it, coughed twice, leaned forward and said:

"My lord, if it's about the private house, it's so close, there are so many people, and if someone talks too much, it will be inconvenient."

Hearing what he said, Wang Tong was taken aback for a moment, then realized, pointed at Sun Dahai with his finger, and said dumbfoundedly:

"Do you think that the official raised a woman outside? Don't think about it. You and I are a family. If we really have one, why don't we tell you?"

Only then did Sun Dahai realize that he had misunderstood. He smiled awkwardly there, and quickly bowed to accept the order. Wang Tong stood up and walked out, and said:
"Hurry up and do it here. It's approaching the end of the year, and you're extraordinarily busy. It's hard work. Take a good rest at the end of the year!"

Sun Dahai followed behind Wang Tong, and said with a smile when he heard this:

"My lord's words are out of line. If there is no adult to take care of me, my subordinates will have today. This busyness is my duty. If the villain says something offensive, my lord will be eighteen this year. Common people, children of this age can walk on the ground. Yes, my lord, Aunt Ma's side, those of us who are close to you are all worried about your lord!"

When Wang Tong heard this, he stopped, looked ahead, shook his head and said:
"What's the rush? In the current situation, finding a woman, what kind of woman you are looking for, will either drag me down or drag down the woman. Let's talk about it later!"

Sun Dahai paused, hesitated before smiling and said:

"Your Excellency said the same thing. With your status and status, Lord Long Live must point out a rich lady from a wealthy family. Now in Tianjin Wei, there is no big family."

Wang Tong shook his head, but did not answer.

************
Wu Liwen, magistrate of Xianghe County, was really terrified after receiving the official document from Tianjin Wei. Although he is a small county magistrate, even though he is under the jurisdiction of Shuntian Prefecture, how could he offend Wang Tong, a thousand households of Jinyiwei.

Qianhuzheng fifth rank is already higher than the magistrates of the seventh rank, not to mention, Xianghe County is under the jurisdiction of Shuntian Prefecture, and Shuntian Prefecture presides over Lu Wancai as the magistrate of Xianghe County, but from Xianghe County itself, the officials from Tianjin Wei He can't afford to offend.

Xianghe County is surrounded by wealthy and noble Zhuangzi in the capital. The locals are not tenants, or they farm their own land, or do some small businesses.

It turns out that in those years, the grain and production of Xianghe County were sold to Tongzhou. Recently, these non-staple foods, as well as artificial labor, have all flocked to Tianjin Wei.

The production of Zhuangzi’s farmland has a market, and labor can earn wages. Xianghe County’s imperial grain and national tax can be collected a lot. Nowadays, officials are assessed in the world, and how much tax is completed is a first-class rule. Wu Liwen, the magistrate of Xianghe County, has scored "upper" in the performance appraisal of the official department for two consecutive years. In another year, he will either go to a prefecture to be a magistrate, or he will be transferred back to Shuntian Prefecture to be a sixth-rank or sixth-rank official.

Not to mention, because Xianghe County got a lot of money for material transfer on the road between Tianjin Wei and the capital, the money naturally fell into the pockets of the county magistrate.

It can be said that the prosperity and wealth of Wu Liwen, magistrate of Xianghe County, all belong to Tianjin Wei. He also knows that if Wang Tong's wishes are violated, the other side will not like it, so there is no need to use official connections to do something in Tianjin Wei. What, I can't eat and walk away.

But Wu Liwen was also puzzled. Although he was not a famous minister of Qingtian, he knew the general affairs in Xianghe County. Although Xianghe County was not a peaceful world, it was not a messy place either. In any remote place, even if there are fugitives, they will not stop in Xianghe County foolishly. What is this Wang Qianhu doing in Xianghe County?

After being puzzled, he also sent his cronies to inquire, but found that there was no sign, and everything in Xianghe County was normal.

*************
"Wuzhi County, Jinyiwei will take action tomorrow morning. The place where the action will be done is Paifang Street. The three surrounding streets will be closed by people from your county. But please order the convener early tomorrow morning, and don't do anything tonight!"

Wu Liwen didn't expect that when the official document arrived in the morning, someone would come to visit in the afternoon. Looking at the clothes, he thought it was a business owner. His family wanted to chase him away, but the other party showed the badge of Jin Yiwei. Wang Tong actually came in makeup, with only three followers.

While surprised by Wang Tong's youth, Wu Liwen had a smile on his face, and said politely:

"The lower officials will definitely do it, but Mr. Wang is only bringing three servants, how can he get people!?"

Wang Tong said with a smile:

"Second watch, please ask Wuzhi County to send someone to open the east gate of the city. At that time, soldiers and horses will naturally enter the city. However, from now on, Wuzhi County, people in the house are not allowed to go out, and they will not move until night. The thieves are cunning, and everything is strictly controlled , so as not to alarm him, please forgive me for any inconvenience."

The smile on Wu Liwen's face froze, but it wasn't a big deal, he just nodded and smiled in agreement, greeted the outside, and sat here.

In addition to the four masters and servants of Wang Tong, there are also Wu Zhixian and a personal attendant in the house. The two sides are bored with each other. The personal attendant also went to the county to check. Wu Zhixian asked in a low voice, puzzled:
"Isn't Paifang Street home to a few big families in Xianghe County?"

The voice was not high, but he didn't hide it from Wang Tong and others. The follower nodded and said:
"My lord said that there are only two families on the other side of Paifang Street. One is a patrol inspector who retired from Luyan Farm when he was old, and the other is a businessman. The man is away all the year round..."

This was also heard by Wang Tong. Wang Tong said with a smile:

"I don't know if you have found out, but the hostess of this family gave birth to a fat boy last year."
