On the second day of the month, the hottest days were about to go out, and in the morning, I only felt a little cool.

From dawn to noon, from quiet to noisy. Everything is as usual inside and outside the city, busy on the pier, and boats coming and going on the canal are the same.

At the side of the canal dock, it was originally said that the red boat that was being blocked today was not out. The grain-supervising father Wan Dao didn't send anyone to make money on the river.

More than a dozen sea boats on the edge of the Haihe River were not in pain yet. However, the work of checking the value of goods and calculating taxes was almost finished. Sun Dahai found dozens of soldiers with good water quality. They arrived at the place where the shipwreck was and took turns to check.

The cargo on this ship was surprising. Except for the oxtail medicine that had been soaked in water, the rest were deer skin.

The ship was caught up and down. He experienced the power of artillery himself and was very obedient. He knew why these two cargoes were transported as soon as he asked.

The oxtail medicine was only 50 cents a pair in the Ming Dynasty. However, it could be sold for 400 cents when it arrived in the Lu Kingdom. There were a few medicinal herbs in the Ming Dynasty, but there were not in the Lu Kingdom, but there were many people who used this disease in the cattle and horse diseases.

This medicine was a low-key person in the Ming Dynasty, and it was understandable that it was sold to the people of the country to make huge profits. If they didn't run away, Wang Tong would not bother to care about where they went after the tax.

One deer skin was sold for two taels of silver in the Ming Dynasty, and one tael of gold in Japan. The profit was so high, but the buyers were the daimyo of the Lu Kingdom and the samurai below. Because deer skin was an important material for making armor and protective gear, the deer of the Lu Kingdom itself was already very rare. It was a transaction with the vassals of the Lu Kingdom. This was a real traffic in the Lu Kingdom. It was no wonder they wanted to run away if they were ill-behaved.

After Wang Tong surrounded the firearm workshop yesterday, he did not wait for the search results. He explained to the firearm workshop that all the serious crimes were done by Eunuch Lu and their fellow party members, and had nothing to do with the lower part. However, the workshop must be blocked. Please work as usual and wait for the case to be revealed.

This fireworks workshop is a semi-enclosed place, and the craftsmen's residence is in the workshop area. There is no place to go. Moreover, Wang Tong immediately transferred the foreigners and the craftsmen who were originally here from his ironworks workshop, and gave everyone white rice and pork, which quickly stabilized.

After stabilizing the firearm workshop, the overall situation outside the city was basically certain, but Wang Tong did not return to the city to rest. Instead, he returned to the river and camped with the soldiers stationed by the river for a night.

It was quiet all night, but there were too many mosquitoes and people couldn't sleep well. When the sky was dawn, Wang Tong got up.

Just as some noise was made in the tent where he stayed, someone lowered his voice outside and said:

"Sir, three of the five incense heads of the boat head went out of the city last night, and two were still closed early. They did not send anyone to contact the boatman outside.

Wang Tong rubbed his face and walked out of the tent, and said to a civilian dressed in a beak outside:

"Continue to stare. If there is any abnormal movement, take my letter and send troops to get people nearby."

The civilian bowed, turned around and left in a hurry. After walking more than a dozen steps, Zhang Shiqiang walked quickly. The civilian did not go aside and bowed slightly to salute.

Zhang Shiqiang nodded and said, "The hidden stakes arranged by Wang Tong are everywhere to visit him." Zhang Shiqiang is responsible for contacting and managing. He went to the capital to deliver urgent letters. He came back last night, so Wang Tong arranged for him to stay in the city.

"Sir, yesterday when the firearm workshop was occupied outside the city, someone entered the office of the two men's military preparation road and grain supervision. Then the two mansions sent people to General Li Shen's camp outside the city. After General Li Shen withdrew his troops, he sent people to the two men. Because these two men stayed away, they sent messengers out of the city before dark and headed towards the capital.

Wang Tong sneered a few times and said:

"These people still have to take care of Tonglu's matter, and they are really intimate with each other."

Hearing Wang Tong's words, Zhang Shiqiang thought about it and reported again:

"Sir, I'm here now, just those two people's eyeliners have news. The Bing Beidao Panda seemed very happy and said, "I'm so stupid, I can see who can protect you." Wan Dao saw two guests. These two guests were in and out and rode on horses and walked quickly. Our people didn't have time to keep up, but after seeing them, they became very angry in their own house.

The reactions of these two people were beyond Wang Tong's expectations, but to be able to do this, the hidden lines set up when they came to Tianjin had the effect. Now there are very few people under Wang Tong's subordinates responsible for inquiries about undercover, and they cannot force them.

"How about the Qing Military Department and the Ministry of Revenue Transfer Department?"

"If you want to know the master, there seems to be no movement in those two places, everything is as usual."

Wang Tong nodded and ordered:

"Go to the city and send Cai Nan over quickly. Brother Zhang, maybe you have to work hard again today or tomorrow, and you have to go to the capital to deliver a letter

"It is a subordinate's position to do things for adults. What's the hard work?"

Zhang Shiqiang bowed and said. Wang Tong said with a smile:

"Take Chihei and ten farmers, each with two horses, and there may be danger on the road,

While talking, the smell of food came. Both of them were empty-bellied in the morning, and they couldn't help but stop talking when they smelled the smell. The creaking sound of wooden wheels crushing the ground, and the carriage containing large wooden barrels of food came here. Wang Tong waved to Zhang Shiqiang and said:

"You go back to the city to have something good. I won't leave you here anymore

Zhang Shiqiang said goodbye and followed the carriage that transported food to the river. The fort and the encirclement behind him were already in shape, and the rest was carefully decorated.

The base built by the fort yesterday was not reliable. It was estimated that it would be dispersed after a few shots, but now it has won time, so the next step is to strengthen the repair.

The sun had not come out yet, but everywhere was already busy. As soon as the big cart that delivered food walked near the fort, the soldiers who were guiding shouted loudly:

"Our Lord Wang is here to deliver food to everyone!!"

Seeing the steaming food, the adults from his family came to deliver it in person. The soldiers of the Jinyiwei cheered loudly and did not arrive at a fort. Wang Tong and his husband took the big wooden barrel from the car. Then they served each soldier with steaming food and gave a few words of condolences.

Under the rumor of intentional or unintentional, Wang Tong's image in the hearts of the soldiers was extremely tall, although Wang Tong was extremely respectful to him than most people.

Yesterday, two battalions of troops brought to the firearm workshop. One battalion was left there and the other battalion was brought back. Facing several times the soldiers and horses of his own, Lord Wang chatted and laughed, and calmly faced him, dismounted and led everyone to attack. The soldiers and horses of his own retreated without fighting. Such a prestige has spread.

Nowadays, the soldiers not only regard Wang Tong as their boss, but also as their heroes. Yesterday, they were busy or fighting, and they had to work overnight. They were hungry. At this time, Wang Tong personally sent hot meals. They greeted and talked cordially. The recruited soldiers of the Jinyi Guard were originally simple-minded soldiers. Although they came here to practice hard, they had enough money and had enough food and fullness. They were treated so well by their bosses, and they were all very excited.

After leaving the five forts, the bank of the Haihe River was already boiling, and people kept shouting:

"Thank you, Lord Wang! I'm willing to die for Lord Wang!! Even if you go up to the mountain of swords and seas of fire, the small ones are willing to go

Words of loyalty come one after another, and just practice in the camp cannot cultivate any loyalty. Only in such actions can people accept their hearts.

After victory, when hunger is the most exciting and fragile time for the human heart. At this time, some actions will be the greatest effect. Wang Tong knows how to grasp this point and how to use it.

I walked through all the forts first, and then walked past all the camps stationed here. The sun had risen and Cai Nan had arrived long ago.

After Wang Tong finished his work, his forehead was also sweating. He wiped his sweat with a towel on the net, but a soldier ran over to report:

"Mr. Wang, yesterday; there was no hunch in the ship. The owner begged the villain to come to the adults in the guard office, saying that he would pay the fine of the silver tax, and only asked the adults to let them go.

This ship that did not sink or hukou was not a big mistake. It was just a run. These days, the ships who went out to sea wanted to make money, would have to run to Luguo and Nanyang. People who traded may not be pirates or pirates, and the background was not clean.

Wang Tong wanted to collect taxes in Tianjin switches, so he naturally had to let overseas trade go. Hearing the soldier's report, he asked Cai Nan with a smile:

“Have the cargo on this ship been inspected?

"Sir, the goods on this ship were only seen by our own people. They were filled with poplin, a total of 3,000 pieces, and a total of 2,200 taels of silver were charged."

Wang Tong was stunned and asked in confusion:

“How much does a poplin capital cost?

"Two or three cents, the bulk trading price is slightly cheaper. Yesterday, the accountants of the two warehouses said that they were small and remembered.

Wang Tong patted his forehead and said with a smile:

"When I left yesterday, the taxes on those who didn't run were more than 2,000 taels. This one ran so much. Is it worth the effort if it was the money?"

Cai Nan thought about it and showed a sudden enlightenment. Wang Tong said with a cramped smile on his face.

"Go to the person who came down from the sunken cargo ship to find the highest-ranking shipman and tell him that as long as there is something strange, I will give him five hundred taels of silver and I will release him immediately!"

Cai Nan agreed with a smile and immediately went to give orders. Wang Tong was in a relaxed mood and bit a grass stick in his mouth. He hummed a small song.

,.

Due to insufficient staff, the only people in the Jinyiwei Qianhu in Tianjin can follow the fragrant heads of the boat head. However, they did not notice that some people frequently enter and exit the homes of each of them.
