In this time and space, Wang Tong grew up in the capital since he was a child. He lived in Macau for half a year and spent almost five years in Tianjin Wei. He spent most of his time in the capital.

But after so many things, Wang Tong felt an indescribable sense of intimacy when he saw the familiar port and the bustling city not far away.

Perhaps it is because it is too rich, with many people and many craftsmen of all kinds. The water in this section of Tianjin Wei is quite turbid, and even the sky looks gray. To put it bluntly, Tianjin Wei seems to be dirtier than elsewhere, but Wang Tong has no disgust, but is full of pride.

Such dirtyness does not mean destruction, does not mean backwardness, but represents prosperity, and this prosperity was created by himself.

"Brother, Tianxun Wei, all walks of life, are looking forward to your arrival, so I've been preparing for it!"

Li Hutou was wearing armor and stood majestic behind Wang Tong, and said to Wang Tong with a smile that Li Hutou is now the chief general of the Huwei Army. The general who guards Tianjin Guards in Jizhen is also controlled by him in a sense. He is the military officer with the highest status and greatest power in Tianjin Guards.

"Sir, get off the boat!"

Cai Nan also said with a smile. Seeing the people below so enthusiastic, they also felt glamorous when they hosted the Tianjin Wei.

Wang Tong nodded and walked off the ship with a smile. Tianjin soldiers prepared the road, Tianjin grain supervision, Tianjin generals guarded Tianjin, and the Qing Military Department, the chief military officer of Tianjin. When he saw Wang Tong get off the ship, he bowed and said, "Sir, please see the Marquis!"

Regardless of the identity of the commander of the Jinyiwei, the identity of the Dingbei Hou was really respectful. It turned out that when Wang Tong was in Tianjin, he could still fight with Wang Tong, but now he looked up. Times have changed, everything is different.

Wang Tong greeted him a few words in a kind voice, and then there were a group of people from the Huwei Army system. Tan Bing, Li Tao, Sun Xin, Chen Dahe, and Mu En all saluted, and then the leading figures in the Tianjin Wei and Business Industry. These people were not qualified to salute in front of Wang Tong, and most of them knelt down and kowtowed.

I just responded to the people in front of me with a few words, but I had more words with the merchant Wang Tong. I asked about the recent business and chatted a few words, which made these wealthy merchants feel flattered, but I also felt much closer.

Because Wang Tong's job was in Songjiang and only stayed at Tianjin Wei for a few days, there were not so many cumbersome procedures. The greeting was considered as the first time. At noon, Zhang Chunde from Sanjiang Trading Company came out and booked the largest restaurants by the Haihe River to entertain the top figures everywhere.

On the way to the other side, Wang Tong rode a horse, but Li Hutou followed him on horseback. While asking everyone else to go down, he leaned closer and said, "Brother, Your Majesty's arrangement is really annoying. I understand this. It's just that the elder brother's contribution is too great. If he doesn't say such an angry word, brother, if he stays in the capital, it's better to go back to Tianjin Wei. At that time, the brothers will follow the elder brother as before. Moreover, Tianjin Wei is now a prosperous place in the world. Staying here is not as happy as being in the capital!"

Wang Tong smiled and shook his head, and said, "How can I leave at this location now? Don't say anything else, what are you now? If you say such words so unscrupulously, it will be your trouble if you are heard!"

Wang Tong and Li Hutou spoke quite casually, and he didn't know what to do when he was taught a lesson. Li Hutou reached out and scratched his head and said in a muffled voice: "Eunuch Cai told me this too. It was better when I was with you when I was with you, brother. I had to worry about fucking so much now. Now I am so arrogant and very upset!"

"Everyone needs to grow up!"

Wang Tong sighed, the horse galloped, and the neighbors could not hear it when the sound was not loud. Li Hutou was stunned and asked, "What did the elder brother say?"

Wang Tong shook his head with a smile and said nothing. When he arrived at the restaurant, his personal guards and others took over the horses. Wang Tong and Li Hutou dismounted. Wang Tong said, "Hutou, many people in the Huwei Army have been in service for almost seven years. Those who have no hope of being promoted will be allowed to retire from the army and start a family and start a business according to the previous rules."

Hearing this, Li Hutou pondered for a while and said, "Brother, these veterans of the army are all backbones. Last time, they had already left a group of them in Guihua City. If they retreated this time, their combat power would probably be on the way."

"There are training rules, excellent soldiers and armor, and full food and salary. In addition, the army will remain unchanged, and the backbone will be left behind. Even if there are new recruits and new blood, they will soon become an army. These people in our army are all children. After staying for a long time, they will definitely miss homesickness. If they are always in the army, and everyone in the local area sees it, who will come when you want to recruit new recruits?"

After Wang Tong said this, Li Hutou felt thoughtful. Wang Tong said again: "It is a good time to vomit the old and accept the new. Don't be in a hurry, you can't even do it."

Speaking of this, Li Hutou nodded solemnly and said, "What brother said makes sense. I will discuss with Eunuch Cai and the others tonight."

...

The banquet was naturally very lively. Although Wang Tong's identity was precious, it was not a business in Tianjin Wei. Everyone who could attend had dealing with Wang Tong in the past and had friendships. He could say a few words. In addition, Wang Tong was not arrogant and politely interacted with everyone, so he naturally was very happy.

Any merchant who came to this banquet came to worship Wang Tong. If he had enough status, he would like to worship himself. If he had not enough status, he would invite a few companions to come together.

This is toasting the capital of Jinyiwei and Marquis Dingbei. No matter how much face you are, you can be glorious when you go back and talk about it. In addition, Marquis is the emperor of Tianjin Wei. If he pleases him, he will give him some face in business in the future, so he will be out of food.

Unlike the kind that must be drunk at the wedding, now that the identity is here, even if the Bing Beidao comes to toast, it is just a complacent thing, but the other party wants to drink it clean, which makes Wang Tong much easier.

It was a lively afternoon, and it was a fun time. Tianjin Wei Wang was familiar with the roads, so there was no need for anyone to accompany him to visit. Wang Tong arranged it himself and asked someone to lead the way.

The first place Wang Tong was going to was the harbor. When he left Tianjin Wei, the harbor at the end of the Haihe River had just begun to be built, and now it is quite large. The harvest in northern Zhili was not very good in the eleventh year of Wanli. Especially the Hejian Prefecture and Zhending Prefecture, the reason why there was no trouble was that the Tianjin Wei needed a large number of people to build the harbor, and the reward was sufficient, which invisibly it was considered to use labor for relief and comforting the people.

"According to the instructions of the adults, they first build the fort, then connect the lines with points, and then build various facilities step by step."

Sun Dahai was responsible for this matter. He was there to give some advice and explain. In fact, he didn't need to say too much. These plans were originally decided by Wang Tong, and he just saw that they became a reality.

"Just what the adults said at the beginning, the docking of bulk cargo and foreign ships is arranged here. The warehouse and empty yard have been built, and some marine merchants from Zhejiang have come to take it out for a long time."

Wang Tong nodded, but did not continue to move forward. Instead, he walked towards a pile of earth on the side. This was still a large construction site. There were a lot of these earthwork projects left. Wang Tong had landed on earth. Everyone didn't know why, but he hurriedly followed. Wang Tong stood at a high place and looked around and said in a deep voice: "It took more than half a day to ride a horse to the beach from Tianjin Wei to the city gate, but the sea breeze was still strong at the city gate. Why? The terrain was flat and there was no barrier between hills."

Sun Dahai and his group were confused. They didn't know why Wang Tong talked about geography. At this time, Wang Tong turned to Li Hutou and said, "Hutou, at least one regiment will be stationed near the port in the future. The port will be repaired and the fleet will enter, and a large number of cargo will be transported. Similarly, if a large group of people come, it will be easy to land on the shore. From the port to the city of Tianjin and to the canal, there is no terrain barrier. It is very easy. Now your defense focus is here."

After hearing what Wang Tong said, everyone woke up. Li Hutou was stunned and bowed solemnly and said, "What the Grand Marshal said is, Hutou obeys the order!"

"What's the name of the Grand Marshal? I'll be born in vain!"

Wang Tong laughed and scolded, everyone was laughing, and Li Hutou was also laughing. As the head coach for so long, Wang Tong had a comprehensive understanding of offense, defense and military affairs, and was already considered a coach, but Li Hutou was still limited to the level of "general". If Wang Tong didn't say it, he might not realize this."...

When he arrived at the shipyard, Wang Tong beat Li Hutou and his men away. Sanjiang Shipyard was Wang Tong's private property. It is normal to see how his private property is.

"The master is here by chance this time. Zhenhai and Feilu are all back from Liao Town. The master is here, just for a look!!"

Several craftsmen leaders of the shipyard, Tianjin inspector Tangshan, and the captain of the Feilu, Hu An and others were waiting in front of the shipyard. In fact, the shipyard is also a port for these gunboats to be parked. Those who can park here are ships under Sanjiang Trading Company. If other ships want to repair the ships, they can only send people to invite boatmen and shipmen to come over. If you want to buy a ship, the ship will also drive out from here and deliver goods elsewhere.

The sun is already westward, and the afterglow of the setting sun is projected on the gunboats in the port, and the gunboats are shrouded in a layer of light.

"I was short of my own hands, thanks to Boss Sha's help, helping us practice sailors. His side and we trained ourselves, the people on this boat are enough."

Tang Shan smiled and introduced that the three-masted Garen ship, with at least forty cannons on the ship, was the most powerful warship on the sea in this era, but unfortunately no one noticed it.

"This is my flight"

"Of course it's the master's ship. Haha, the smallest ship runs to Liao Town once, and there are 8,000 taels of money back and forth."
