Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 780
The four words after-sales service are indeed new words, but the meaning of the word is very clear, and everyone below immediately understood it.

Now that such a promise has been made, Wang Tong's proposal can indeed be considered carefully. To do business in Daming, you need shopkeepers and storefronts, and you don't need too many people. But when you do business on the grassland, who doesn't have it? Dozens or even hundreds of young and strong, these people are said to be buddies, but walking on the grassland, when they really encounter blood, these people will also go up.

Going further afield means recruiting more people, but earning more money, and it's all worth it if you have the equipment.

Merchants gathered in this open space. After Wang Tong finished speaking, he was not in a hurry to let everyone make a decision. He got out of the carriage, chatted with a few giant merchants, and then went back to his tent.

Although Wang Tong left, several light cannons were dragged in for exhibition in this area. Cavalry, infantry, artillery, as well as firecrackers, cannons, armor, carts and other equipment are all for viewing and trying out at will. , nothing more than the guidance of soldiers.

The merchants stayed in the outer circle to watch at the beginning, and found that the soldiers were very friendly, so they got closer and closer, and even started talking and asking.

After hearing Wang Tong's words just now, many people felt that they were watching a show when they watched the weapons and military drills, but now they need to watch carefully and understand as much as possible.

Some people also brought the iron armor and leather armor that were used as targets just now, studied them carefully over there, and asked the soldiers to try again to see if they could penetrate the iron armor.

Naturally, there was no suspense in the result. The iron armor was pierced by the firecracker. This result made everyone nod frequently, and some people deliberately walked from the firing place to the target to measure the distance.

All businessmen in the world, except for the imperial merchants and salt merchants who collect money on the ground, the rest of the merchants have to be careful in doing business, and they have to make judgments and research on everything before they can draw conclusions. Wang Tong just said it was good, but they Still need a little verification.

The officers and soldiers in the open space have already received orders, answering all questions, and are never tired of the demands of the merchants, repeating actions over and over again, such as connecting the fenders of the carts, and then getting on the carts to prepare for defense, such as fire The gunmen's repeated loading and shooting made the merchants watch carefully.

The familiar merchants in the field also gathered together to discuss what the imperial envoy said. There were many well-informed people. The Tartar cavalry in Guihua City had horses, knives, guns, bows and arrows. They all wear armor and even have large siege equipment. They know this, but they also know that there are many small tribes on the grassland. They are all used by sharpening the ends of wooden poles, armor is even more rare, and the leather robes around their bodies are used as armor.

Such a small tribe is weak, but it is this small tribe that often rushes out on the grassland to rob caravans. It is nothing more than poor people whose lives are cheap and worthless. There are a few more iron weapons than these small tribes.

With the weapons Wang Tong promised, dealing with these small tribes and horse thieves is indeed very simple. Even if they don't rob them, walking on the grassland can guarantee safety.

Although many people have seen the carriages of the Huwei army in Datong and Shanxi, it is better to see them from a distance than to see them from a distance. There are already imitated carts in Shanxi, but after seeing them today, I realize that there are so many specialties, such as the detachable gear. Plates, axles and spokes, as well as circlip iron regulation.

Some people even asked the soldiers of the Huwei Army to put bags of soil on the cart to see how much it could hold when it was full, and then went back to discuss.

". With so many things in it, if you can hold it, you can really go far."

"The business in Sanbian, Shaanxi is not doing well, and the Western Region tribe who was born in Yilibali is very rich. If we can do business there."

".The firecracker and the small cannon, can they all be sold? Even though they are all good things now, what should we do if they are not good in our hands?"

"It seems that the imperial envoy is easy to talk about. Why don't you set a rule and try shooting. If it doesn't work, we don't want it. He wants to make a long-term business."

There was a lot of discussion, but no one had any doubts about other things, just thinking about some details, Wang Tong seemed to suddenly open a door for them, and the complete victory of Guihua City also added countless confidence to them. We are so vulnerable, it turns out that we can do business so far.

According to what Wang Tong said, people no longer have any doubts about using such a large cart to pull goods, guard the caravan with firearms, and go to farther places for business and trade. What everyone is concerned about now is how their own people can do business. After learning these weapons, how can he use them.

Regarding this, Wang Tong said vaguely, and everyone was suspicious, and this was what they were most concerned about, but this garden party has reached this level, and everyone has already learned and known a lot of information.

Not long after staying here, the Han merchants in the city also began to send people over to invite them. They were old acquaintances, or they needed to buy and sell. They robbed so many things, many things can’t be kept in their hands, and they need to hurry up It is necessary to replace it with the necessary materials.

****************
It was also very lively in Wang Tong's tent. Not only businessmen from Shanxi came from Datong, but also people from Xuanfu and Tianjinwei.

"Gu Zibin, this year hasn't passed well, has there been any disturbance along the way?"

Listening to Wang Tong's greeting with a smile, Gu Zibin stood up and replied with a smile:

"Thank you for your concern, master. The master led the soldiers to fight to death on the grassland. The younger one was just waiting in Shanxi. He is already ashamed. Thanks to the master, the journey was very peaceful and nothing happened."

Wang Tong nodded, motioned Gu Zibin to sit down, and said again:
"There are a lot of trophies in the city. This should be transported back as soon as possible. Now that the trade roads have been cut off for a while, many supplies in the city are lacking. You should lead someone to investigate clearly as soon as possible, and then bring them here!"

Gu Zibin quickly nodded in agreement, and Wang Tong tapped his fingers on the table, saying one by one:

"It shouldn't be difficult for Sanjiang Commercial Bank to become the largest merchant in Guihua City and control several necessities in the trade. Hurry up and transfer people from the mainland. The fields and population outside the city must be sorted out as soon as possible. First, we will Follow the farm rules in the north of Tianjin Wei."

Gu Zibin quickly agreed, paused and said:
"I just heard from Xiao Chen and the others about the situation outside the city. Those serfs were treated like livestock by the Tartars. Many of them were in poor health, and some of them were about to starve to death. I still need to ask the master to allocate food here, but Now it’s too late to mobilize food from Datong, and the price of food over there is already [-]% higher than the current price due to the purchase of military rations, so the purchase may also be costly.”

Wang Tong pondered for a moment, then turned his head and said to Cai Nan with a smile:
"Supervisor, after the city was broken, all the large grain villages of the Tartars were burned down, right?"

Cai Nan, who was sitting on the side, was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses, turned around and took out a book from the desk, took a brush to correct it a few times, and said:
"My lord said that the grain village was set on fire by the Tartars, and so much was burned that it was too late to save them!"

Wang Tong nodded, and said to Gu Zibin:

"The grain stores in the city can be transferred out of the city today, and if they need manpower, they can be seconded to the wealthy merchants of the Han people in the city to provide relief and appease them as soon as possible. The hearts of these 20 Han people must be captured in Daming's hands. Don't let the treacherous villains take advantage of it." .”

The so-called burnt grain stores are naturally intact, but after one or two corrections in the accounts, they become burned and can be used at will.

When Gu Zibin heard this arrangement, he bowed and thanked him, and said:
"Those serfs and Han people are in a terrible situation. Originally, Xiao Chen also thought that although they were poor, they should have some food at home, so they were negligent when the relief was distributed once. But the Han people asked for help the day before yesterday, and only then did I know how far they have come. , I heard that the Tartars don’t care about life and death every year, and the shortfall is made up by looting. The batch of grain allocated by the master should be enough for them to sow and reap!”

The city was destroyed too suddenly. The people from our department waited for someone to think of setting fire to the granary, but it was already too late. The Ming army rushed to put out the fire, and the amount of grain stored in the city could be replaced by a huge amount To describe it, there are many large grain villages even outside the city.

I am accumulating food and learning the siege equipment. The plan is very big, but if we reduce the exploitation, treat the serfs better, and turn these people into our own strength, how will the battle be, I am afraid the outcome is unknown. But now these grain villages have become Wang Tong's tool to grab people's hearts.

Wang Tong glanced at Cai Nan, Cai Nan cleared his throat, and spoke:
"Gudong, the grasslands are full of chaos and lawlessness. Since Sanjiang Trading Company is going to be the largest trading company, it also needs to build the largest guard team. Manpower, horses, and weapons must be drafted and reported as soon as possible. Everything is urgent now. Just hurry up."

When Wang Tong was not in Tianjin Wei, Cai Nan had the highest status in Wang Tong's system. Although he was only concerned about military affairs, he could also order other things. It was inconvenient for Wang Tong to speak about things like the guards, but it was up to Cai Nan to talk about them.Gu Zibin quickly agreed, and Wang Tong then added:
"Guards should not be limited to Han people. Those from the small tribes, those from the Western Regions, and those from Wuliangha can be used as long as they are not born and bred in the local area. But you have to remember that no firearms workshop can be set up in Guihua City. , can only be in Shanxi, the shipping fee would rather be subsidized by the head office!"

While talking, someone outside announced that Yang Jin had arrived, and the deputy general of Ji Town, Yang Jin, walked into the tent, and said in a deep voice after seeing the ceremony:
"Marshal, selling weapons to merchants is not appropriate.
