Chapter 827 My
In this time and space, Wang Tong grew up in the capital, lived in Macau for half a year, lived in Tianjin Wei for almost five years, and spent most of his time in the capital.
But after so many things, seeing the familiar port and the bustling city not far away, Wang Tong felt an indescribable intimacy.
Perhaps because it is too developed, there are many people, and there are many craftsmen of various colors. The canal water in this section of Tianjinwei is quite turbid, and even the sky looks gray. To put it bluntly, Tianjinwei looks dirtier than other places, but Wang Tong Tong didn't have any disgust, but was full of pride.
This kind of filth does not mean destruction, it does not mean backwardness, it means prosperity, and this prosperity is created by himself.
"Brother, all walks of life in Tianjin Wei are looking forward to your arrival, and have been preparing for it for a long time!"
Li Hutou was wearing armor, standing majesticly behind Wang Tong, and said to Wang Tong with a smile, Li Hutou is now the chief general of the Huwei Army, and in a sense, he is also the general of the Tianjin Guard in Jizhen. Under his control, he is the highest-ranking and most powerful military officer in Tianjin Wei.
"My lord, get off the boat!"
Cai Nan also said with a smile, seeing that the people below are so enthusiastic, those who host Tianjin Wei also feel honored.
Wang Tong nodded, and walked off the boat with a smile on his face. Tianjin Bingbeidao, Tianjin Supervising Grain, Tianjin General, Qing Military Office Tongzhi, this is the main civil and military official of Tianjin Wei. Seeing Wang Tong get off the boat, They all bowed and saluted together, and said:
"The next official sees Lord Hou!"
Regardless of the status of the commander of Jinyiwei, the status of Dingbeihou is really respectful. It turned out that when Wang Tong was in Tianjin Wei, the soldiers and the guards were able to fight with Wang Tong, but now they look up to him. Times have changed. , everything is different now.
Wang Tong greeted a few words in a friendly manner, and then came the members of the Huwei army system. Tan Bing, Li Tao, Sun Xin, Chen Dahe, and Mu En were all marching salutes, and then the top figures in the Tianjin Wei business circle. People are not qualified to salute in front of Wang Tong, most of them kneel and kowtow.
With those people in front, I just deal with a few words politely, but I talk more with the merchants Wang Tong, ask how the business is going recently, and chat a few words, so that these wealthy merchants feel flattered, but also feel a lot closer.
Because Wang Tong's errand was in Songjiang this time, and he only stayed here for a few days when he came to Tianjin Wei, so there were not so many complicated procedures. The reception was spontaneous, and Zhang Chunde from Sanjiang Commercial Bank came forward at noon and took care of it. The largest restaurants by the Haihe River entertain dignitaries from all over the place.
On the way there, Wang Tong was riding a horse, but Li Hutou followed him on horseback. While letting everyone else get off, he approached and said:
"Brother, Your Majesty's arrangement is really irritating. I also understand this. It is nothing more than the contribution of the elder brother. Don't say this stuffy. Brother, if the stay in the capital is not going well, why don't you come back to Tianjin Wei. When the time comes, brothers I still work with my elder brother as before, and this Tianjin Wei is now a first-class prosperous place in the world, staying here is not as happy as being in the capital!"
Wang Tong shook his head with a smile, and said:
"In my current position, how can I leave as soon as I say it? Don't say anything about some things. What is your current position? If you say such unscrupulous words, if people listen to you, it will be your trouble!"
Between Wang Tong and Li Hutou, they talked quite casually, and they didn't mind being taught a lesson. Li Hutou stretched out his hand and scratched his head, and said in a muffled voice:
"Cai Eunuch also told me the same way. It's better when I was with you, brother. You didn't have to worry about it. Now that you are an official, you are very sullen!"
"Everyone has to grow up!"
Wang Tong said with emotion, the horses are galloping, the noise is not loud enough for neighbors to hear, Li Hu was stunned and asked:
"What did your brother say?"
Wang Tong shook his head with a smile and didn't say any more. When he arrived at the restaurant, his own guards and others took over the horses. Wang Tong and Li Hu dismounted. Wang Tong said:
"Hutou, many people in the Tiger's Might Army have served for almost seven years. Those who have no hope of being promoted will be discharged according to the old rules and go back to start a family."
Hearing this, Li Hu pondered for a while, and said:
"Brother, these veterans in the army are all backbones. Last time they stayed in Guihua City, and if they retreat this time, their combat power will probably be reduced."
"There are training rules, excellent soldiers and full rations, and the generals will remain unchanged, and the backbone will be left behind. Even if there are new recruits and new blood, they will soon form an army. Our army These people are all local children, and they will definitely feel homesick if they stay for a long time, if they are always confined to the army, everyone in the local area will see it, when you want to recruit new soldiers, who will come?"
When Wang Tong said this, Li Hutou was thoughtful, and Wang Tong said again:
"At the moment of peace, it is a good time to let go of the old and take in the new. Don't wait until you are in a hurry, and you can't do what you want to do."
Having said that, Li Hutou nodded solemnly, and said:
"Brother is right. I will discuss it with Eunuch Cai and the others tonight."
***********
Naturally, the banquet was full of excitement. Although Wang Tong's status was valuable, it was not an official business in Tianjin Wei. All the people who could attend had dealt with Wang Tong before, and they all had friendship with Wang Tong, and they could say a few words. In addition, Wang Tong did not put on airs, and interacted with everyone politely, so naturally everyone was happy.
All the businessmen who came to the banquet came to offer a toast to Wang Tong. Those who were of sufficient status would come to toast by themselves, and those who were not of sufficient status would invite a few companions to join them.
This is a toast to Jinyiwei's Dutang and Dingbei Marquis. How much face you have, you can talk about it when you go back. In addition, Marquis is the Supreme Emperor of this Tianjin Wei area. If you please him, you will give him some face in business in the future. Then you can't eat it all.
It's different from the one at a wedding where you have to drink it all up. Now that you are here, even if Bing Beidao comes to toast, it's just a dip, but the other party wants to drink it up, which makes Wang Tong a lot easier.
Noon was lively and bustling, and it was fun, Tianjin Wei Wangtong knew the way, and he didn't need anyone to accompany him on the tour, Wang Tong arranged it himself and let someone lead the way.
************
The first place Wang Tong is going to is the seaport. When he left Tianjinwei, the seaport at the end of the Haihe River had just started construction, and now it is quite large.
In the 11th year of Wanli, the harvest in Beizhili was not very good, especially in Hejian Mansion and Zhending Mansion. The reason why there was no trouble was that the construction of the seaport in Tianjin Wei required a large number of manpower, plus the remuneration. And enough, invisibly, it can be regarded as relief with work, which appeases the people.
"It is all according to the command of the adults. First build the fort, and then connect it with dots. After the defense is done, the various facilities will be built step by step."
Sun Dahai is in charge of this matter, he is there pointing out and explaining, in fact, he does not need to say too much, these plans were originally decided by Wang Tong, and he is just watching them become reality.
"Just like what your lord said at the beginning, the docking of bulk cargo and foreign ships is arranged here. The warehouses and empty yards have been built, and there are already maritime merchants from Zhejiang who have come to long-term contracts."
Wang Tong nodded, but he didn't continue to move forward. Instead, he walked towards a mound on the side. It was still a large construction site, and there were a lot of earthworks left. Knowing why, but still quickly followed, Wang Tong stood on a high place and looked around, and said in a deep voice:
"It takes more than half a day for Tianjin Wei to go out of the city gate and ride a horse to the beach, but the sea breeze is still strong at the city gate. Why, the terrain is flat and there are no hills to block it."
Everyone in Sun Dahai was confused and didn't know why Wang Tong talked about geography. At this moment, Wang Tong turned around and said to Li Hutou:
"Hutou, the Tiger's Mighty Army must have at least one regiment stationed near the port in the future. When the port is repaired and the fleet enters, it will be easy to handle a large amount of cargo. Similarly, if a large group of people arrives, it will be easy to land ashore. From the port to From the city of Tianjin to the side of the canal, there is no terrain barrier, it is very easy, now your defense focus should be on this side."
Hearing Wang Tong's words, everyone came to their senses. Li Hu froze for a moment, then bowed solemnly and said:
"What the commander-in-chief said, Hutou obeyed!"
"What's the name of the handsome man? It's just a no-brainer!"
Wang Tong cursed with a smile, everyone laughed, Li Hutou also laughed, Wang Tong has been the commander for so long, he has a comprehensive understanding of offensive and defensive military, he is already considered a handsome talent, but Li Hutou is still limited to "general "This level, if Wang Tong doesn't say it, he may not be aware of it.
*************
When he came to the shipyard, Wang Tong sent Li Hutou and the others away. The Sanjiang shipyard was Wang Tong's private property, and it was human nature to see how his own private property was.
"Master also came here by coincidence this time. The big ships Zhenhai and Feilu have all come back from Liao Town. The master is here, just take a look!!"
Several craftsman leaders of the shipyard, the Tianjin Division inspecting Tangshan, and the captain of the Feilu, Juan, and others are waiting in front of the shipyard. In fact, the shipyard is also a port for these gunboats to berth. All the ships moored are the ships under the Sanjiang Commercial Bank. If you want to repair the ships of other houses, you can only send people to ask the boatman and shipwright to go there.
The sun was already westward, and the afterglow of the setting sun was projected on the gunboats in the port, and the gunboats were covered with a layer of brilliance.
"Originally, there was a shortage of manpower. Thanks to Boss Sha's help, he helped us train sailors. With his side and our own training, there are enough manpower on this ship."
Tang Shan smiled and introduced that the three-masted Galen ship had at least forty guns on board. This was the most powerful warship at sea in this era, but unfortunately no one noticed.
"This is my ship."
"Naturally, it's the master's boat. Hehe, the smallest boat will earn 8000 taels for a trip to Liao Town."
Tang Shan on the side said with a smile.
