Chapter four hundred and ninety-eight see the old man and set up the bank

"The former governor of Cangzhou Xu Guangguo asked to see the Lord?"

Despite the busy military affairs, Wang Tong was still stunned when he heard this name. Xu Guangguo, the governor of Cangzhou, wasn’t that the person who set up a checkpoint on the Cangzhou Canal some time ago to prepare for tax robbery?

It's also a pity that he has the reputation of claiming to be the former governor of Cangzhou. After being forcibly stopped by Wang Tong, Xu Guangguo was removed from office. If it weren't for his uncle Xu Qingshan, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he would have been imprisoned now.

In Wang Tong's impression, this person was just a playboy and wanted to take advantage of a loophole. He didn't care at all. The temporary spy arranged in Cangzhou was also rewarded, saying that after Xu Guangguo was dismissed, he hurriedly left Cangzhou and disappeared.

No one expected that Xu Guangguo would come to ask for a meeting today. On that day, he set up a checkpoint, Wang Tong sent elite troops to harass him, and finally sent the horse team out, causing Cangzhou to lose all his face. Is Xu Guangguo's head broken or he got the courage of the bear heart and leopard, and he actually took the initiative to come to the door.

"I'm so busy, I won't see him!"

Wang Tong's answer was straightforward and the guards bowed out, but the military affairs were busy, and some people could not be seen, while others had to meet.

For example, Chen Sibao and others who came from the capital again. For Wang Tong, the relationship between these nobles in the capital was good. The key was that they had hundreds of thousands of taels of silver invested in Tianjin Wei. If they did it well, they would definitely have more in the future. The wealthy people in the capital had really accumulated a lot of gold and silver. It could attract this wealth to Tianjin Wei, which was a great thing to benefit from.

"I'll call Ma Sanbiao to go to the horse farm, and I'll set off now."

Wang Tong ordered, and got up and went out. Xiangcheng Bo Chen family, the imperial merchant Tang family and the rest of the company invested more than 300,000 taels of silver in Tianjin Wei. The insurance bank and Sanjiang merchant bank each took out another silver and raised nearly one million taels of silver for loan turnover and guarantee.

In the current situation, this silver has been expected to make a lot of bonuses. The fleet from Tianjin Wei to Liao Town, as well as the border trade to Xuanfu and the grassland. These two businesses are profitable and unaccompanied. However, many businesses cannot make up because they need too much money at one time, so they need to borrow money and pay it back after the turnover.

The original arrangement would have been that the bonus would be delivered directly to the capital, and it would be safe with the team escorting the gold and flowers. However, after sending the account to the capital, the other side wrote back not long after, saying that it would be fine for Wang Tong to send it there, and they sent someone to pick it up. If there was another arrangement, they would let them go.

Wang Tong could probably guess that these flowers, Tai Sui, were almost tired of staying in the capital, and came to Tianjin Wei to visit. It turned out that the capital was the most prosperous place in the north. Now, today, the city of Tianjin Wei has become a prosperous place, and it has become a place of prosperity. The novel and prosperous world is nowhere to be compared. The wealthy and noble children in the capital naturally follow it.

Chen Sibao and others arrived the day before yesterday, but Wang Tong had just received the order. It was when he couldn't get rid of himself. He expressed his apology, saying that he had held a banquet to welcome him these days.

Chen Sibao and others were happy and wandering around these days, and were extremely happy. I don’t know why I saw Huweiying in the horse farm in the northeast of the city.

These people are a little different from those young men who are addicted to alcohol. Chen Sibao and Tang Sihai are quite fond of martial arts, so they naturally have a great hobby of armor and horses.

At the beginning of the year, when Xuanfu went out of the frontier, Wang Tong brought back thousands of cattle and horses outside the frontier. In the end, only 500 horses were selected. They were all selected good horses. After returning to Tianjin, they set up a special horse farm to raise them. After feeding and training this year, the magnificent and vigorous horses could be called a horse.

Chen Sibao and the others fell in love with him at first sight, so they sent someone to ask for it, so it would be fine. Wang Tong agreed, but the group of people didn't know what their temperament was. They asked Wang Tong to come over in person and had a banquet there to discuss.

It’s just that everyone likes a lively and fresh place, and there is always a welcoming banquet, so it doesn’t matter where it is. Wang Tong has been a little dizzy in the arrangement of military affairs these days, so he agreed.

The gate of Wang Tong's mansion was open, and dozens of cavalry guarded Wang Tong out. Wang Tong went out to look at both sides, but he met a person standing on the right side of the door. The man was wearing a gray Taoist robe and had to see that he had not been sorted out for many days. He looked quite depressed. Seeing Wang Tong looking over, the man shouted:

"Mr. Wang, villain Xu Guangguo is asking for a meeting!"

While speaking, he knelt down. The guard beside him looked over. Wang Tong just shook the reins and said:

"Ignore him and leave us!,

The guards responded to the promise, rode their horses together and left. The guards at the door looked at Xu Guangguo who was kneeling there coldly. Their adults didn't say they wanted to drive him away, but just closed the door on their own. Xu Guangguo hesitated, but still knelt there without moving.

Tianjin Wei left the city and headed northeast. Because it was bordered by the sea, there were many wastelands in the salt flats. In addition, the sea was forbidden during the Jiajing period, and it moved inward for dozens of miles. A large number of wastelands were prosperous today. However, most of the people from all over the world lived on both sides of the canal and on the west and south of the Tianjin Wei, and there was no population in the north.

This has made Huwei Camp convenient, and several training grounds and newly built horse farms are built there.

side.

On the way, Ma Sanbiao led his men and Wang Tong's team to join. Since Wang Tong issued the order, all battalions were preparing, and the same was true for the horse team. The Triangle Dianjianfang made some things. The horse team had been equipped there these days. Wang Tong also knew that Ma Sanbiao had reported a few words of progress, and both sides continued to move forward.

Tianjin Wei, if anyone likes the horse farm the most, it is Ma Sanbiao. He and his cavalrymen stayed at the horse farm, taking care of the horses and training every day.

Ma Sanbiao's father-in-law Zhang Chunde was quite satisfied with this son-in-law, but one thing he often complained to Wang Tong, that is, his wife was taken by Ma Sanbiao too crazy. She was young and could ride a horse like a boy. This is also one of the jokes between Tianjin Wei.

When he arrived at the horse farm, Wang Tong's first words when he dismounted was to say with a smile:

"You guys are going to burn this horse farm!"

"When you are the one who is Wang, we brothers have cleared the surrounding plants and trees, and there will definitely be no accident!"

Seeing Wang Tong dismount, Chen Sibao and Tang Sihai and others quickly smiled and clasped their fists to greet him. If it turned out that Chen Sibao was the garrison of the Beijing Camp, and his grade was higher than Wang Tong's Jinyiwei's Qianjiajia, and Wang Tong is now an official of the Huwei Camp, and the Jinyiwei commander's affairs, and the grade was higher than Chen Sibao.

On the east side of the horse farm, Chen Sibao and his men cleared a piece of land, set up a rack, lit a fire and roasted a sheep on it. Several followers were turning around there and brushing them with seasonings.

A piece of felt was laid on the side, and a food box and wine jar was placed on it. It looked like a picnic. After the few people greeted the ceremony, they sat over with smiles and smiled.

"There are grass everywhere here, and there are groups of good horses over there. It looks like the grassland outside the border. Let's learn how to eat shoes on the grassland!"

Ma Sanbiao greeted him and went to the other side of the horse farm. Chen Sibao sat down and said with a smile. Tang Sihai said next to him:

"I'm going to blame the fire on the grassland to clear the surrounding plants and trees. This is what Teacher Yu said at the Huwei Wu Hall."

Speaking of this, everyone was silent. When talking about Yu Daxian who had passed away, the atmosphere was a little heavy. When Tang Sihai looked around, he smiled and said with a loss:

"I'm just saying this, but I'm wrong. Young people, serve the food!!"

The sheep there had been grilling for a while. When he heard the shout, someone took a knife and cut off the meat from the sheep on the chair and placed it on a silver plate. Tang Sihai explained first:

"At that time, we brothers wanted to come here to worship, but Brother Wang, you also know that brothers, such as the people in the capital, have various inconveniences in their actions."

The nobles in the capital acted, were domineering and were arrogant and extravagant, but if they showed a tendency in the officialdom and politics, they should be extremely careful. Such worshiping matters also belong to this category. Of course, it is hard to say whether these noble families who later entered the Humao Martial Arts Hall were sincere.

It’s already good to remember it. Wang Tong didn’t want to get too entangled with this issue. He waved his hand, picked up a piece of mutton with a dagger and put it into his mouth, nodded and said:

“The taste has entered, it’s good!”

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

"But I didn't expect that Brother Wang, you have so many good horses, including the capital and the Northern Zhili. Such good horses are either from the marquis or above, or from the hands of the generals in charge. It's quite difficult to get one. There are ones in Shaanxi, but it's too troublesome to come here. After the brothers joined the army, they couldn't find any good horses, but they didn't expect that they could get it without any effort. Brother Wang, sell it to the brothers!"

"Why do you have to buy it? Go in and choose it later. If you choose it, you will give it to you!"

Having said that, the atmosphere became relaxed. Chen Sibao laughed and thanked him, and said:

"The money invested in has so many bonuses in a year. Many people who were waiting and watching in the capital were moved. They didn't bring back the bonus this time, so they brought some more, so they put it on Tianjin Wei to make money!!"

“How many have you brought in total!?”

"The bank of the fifteen companies, including the dividends and the capital invested last year, is more than 820,000 taels."

After hearing this number, Wang Tong pondered for a while. He had a plan for this and immediately spoke:

"I will pay another million taels here. This one million taels will be used as principal. What is the name of the store called Sanjiang Money House?"

"Brother Wang is the only one who puts the money here and asks Brother Wang to help with business and make money, but he can't help much. If Brother Wang has any needs in the capital, just talk... "

"With Brother Wang's relationship, do you still have to speak to you and me if you do anything in the capital? What a joke!"
