The shop is almost twice as big as it was a year ago, but it's still overcrowded, and in addition to eunuchs and guards, there are also some ordinary people.

Or to be precise, people dressed as ordinary people, these people have a spirit of toughness between their gestures, and they often have to carry this long or short burden.

Dressed like this, even the widow Ma can see that these people are not ordinary people, Wang Tong smiled even more bitterly, there are eunuchs in the palace in the store, and there are guards on duty, seeing such abnormal "civilians", how can there be a reason not to grasp the inquiry, but the two sides are so peaceful, this is even more telling the problem, ten are the guards arranged here by Dongchang or other yamen.

These people have increased a lot of passenger flow, not to mention, even those children in the martial arts hall have been arranged to open here, on the first day of the opening of the seventeenth day of the first month, the passenger flow has increased several times compared with the most prosperous time of the previous year.

If it is so prosperous every day, the net profit of more than 8,000 taels of silver per year will be stable in hand, but this money, which is also a huge amount of money in this era, is not too much in Wang Tong's eyes at the moment.

In Wang Tongtang's house, Ma Sanbiao, Sun Dahai, Zhang Shiqiang, Li Wenyuan, as well as Lu Wancai, Wang Si, and Li Gui, all gathered together.

On the brick floor of the hall was the silver with white flowers, which had been divided into two piles, and a scale was put aside, except for Wang Tong and Li Wenyuan, the others never left the silver in front of them.

"Last night, Sanbiao and Brother Zhang ordered it all night, and they all went through the scales, which was a little more than we expected, a total of about 6,230 taels."

Wang Tong stood there and said with a smile, since it was He Jinyin who had accumulated the money in the cellar, and it was concealed by Wang Si in time, there was no reason to push out the silver that was sent to the door for nothing.

But if you want to win people's hearts, you must achieve a fair distribution of everyone's wealth, and Wang Tong is not ambiguous, and directly divides the silver into two parts.

"Lord Lu, Jinyiwei on my side, Shuntianfu on your side, let's divide this silver equally on both sides, how about three thousand one thousand taels each!?

"Lord Wang, brother said something offensive to people, isn't it too unfair for you to do this!"

Lu Wancai suddenly became serious, Wang Tong was stunned, Ma Sanbiao and Sun Dahai's eyes widened at that time, and Li Wenyuan took two steps to the side, leaning on a long stick over there.

"If there is no Lord Wang, the brothers can earn so much silver, even if the adults want to divide it equally, the brothers will not agree, it is still Qisan!!"

Wang Si and Li Guilian echoed, and now they know that they are caught in a big whirlpool that they can't afford at all, and if they want to survive, the hope they can see at present is this Lord Wang, who seems to have hands and eyes to the sky, and has an amazing background.

"When you are brothers, this is divided equally, in the future, Wang will still have a place to use you, besides, then dozens of brothers come, if they run away in vain, how will they deal with each other in the future."

Looking at Lu Wancai's slightly embarrassed expression, Wang Tong said with a smile:

"Brother Lu, remember to talk about Wang Tong's benefits when the silver goes down, let's not worry, the water will flow for a long time!!"

As soon as Wang Tong's sentence "Brother Lu" came out, Lu Wancai's black face suddenly burst into laughter, and this little Lord Wang finally accepted himself, and nodded again and again, and praised again and again, saying that Wang Tong's side is righteous and cloudy.

Let them be at ease on errands, everything is in their own hands, Wang Tong sent Lu Wancai and the two catchers away, and now the house is his own people.

"Brother Li, you take three hundred taels, you take two hundred taels for the third standard, Sun Dahai you take three hundred taels, and your brother is one hundred taels each, wait for the third standard to send you back."

Hearing Wang Tong's order, all the people who were named agreed happily, weighed and distributed with the scale, Wang Tong turned his head and said to Li Wenyuan:

"Brother Li, I know that your family is hard, but in the future, we can work hard, don't be bitter Li Hutou, this child will definitely have a great future in the future......"

Li Wenyuan nodded proudly, and Wang Tong continued:

"Eat beef and mutton for him, white flour and white rice, boil his body, Brother Li, this is not a joke, this is how the little brother's strong and healthy came about, to put it mildly, don't be surprised, in the future, the flower of the tiger head will be counted on the little brother, and it is too much, the tiger head will be Wang's relative in the future."

The words are indeed numb, but think about Li Hutou's ten-year-old age, he dared to lurk outside all night, and burst out to kill people in the early morning, this boldness, this ruthlessness, and this scheming are not comparable to ordinary children, and even many Chengren are far from being comparable, this Li Wenyuan's calm surname and strong means are also a big help for him at present, the father and son are so good, what is wrong with the flesh and numbness.

Li Wenyuan, who has always been solemn, smiled when he heard this, nodded and said:

"Adults look up to him, this is the blessing of the tiger head, he likes to run here when he has nothing to do, so let the tiger head regard this place as his home."

"The best, the best, the three standards, you drive the car to send the sea and Brother Li's silver back by the way, and then come and get your share."

From beginning to end, Wang Tong didn't say how much Zhang Shiqiang should take, Zhang Shiqiang didn't speak, his expression was calm, and he stood aside with his hands down.

When everyone went out, Wang Tongchang let out a breath and sat on the chair, Zhao Jinliang had been placed in Ma's house to take care of his illness, and there were just two of them in the house.

Zhang Shiqiang went to pour a cup of tea and respectfully put it on the table, Wang Tong said a little tiredly:

"Brother Zhang, how is the recruitment of our martial arts hall going?"

The master-servant relationship between Wang Tong and Zhang Shiqiang is now quite natural, and when he heard Wang Tong's question, Zhang Shiqiang's face was a little embarrassed, and he said:

"Lord Wang, yesterday I said that the little one took the silver to the Dongcheng side, and when he went to the guard office, he was almost beaten out as a liar, but he still showed his waist card with the local Qianhu to come back."

Wang Tong was a little stunned, and hurriedly asked:

"Brother Zhang, what did you say, why did you come to beat you?"

"According to the rules of our errand, we will eat and live, and we will pay five taels of silver a year......

"That's what you said?"

Seeing Zhang Shiqiang's anxious nod, Wang Tong patted his forehead with a wry smile, looking at the other party's increasing embarrassment, Wang Tong explained helplessly:

"Brother Zhang, this high condition is unbelievable, those brothers who are on errand by the wall of Niulan Street in our Jinyi pro-army, they can also get five taels of silver for food and shelter, they are all greedy, you tell this to the military households outside the city, who will believe the silver falling from the sky, no wonder they treat you as a liar."

If it weren't for Wang Tong talking with a smile, Zhang Shiqiang would have knelt on the ground a long time ago, and even then he was a little overwhelmed, but Wang Tong didn't care much and said:

"You keep the two hundred taels of silver yourself, just take this profit, wait for the next three standards to come back, let him go with you with the silver, at least find thirty sturdy young men, the three standards that person is lively, this person will definitely be able to find, but what kind of person Brother Zhang, you have to pass, you have to have a father and mother, a child of an innocent military family, don't be over seventeen years old, if you can't reach this standard, then we would rather not, how to recruit people to do the three standards, what kind of people you can do!"

Zhang Shiqiang, who was already willing to be a subordinate, didn't expect that Wang Tong not only did not blame, but gave him private silver, and he was speechless for a while.

And Wang Tong was completely caught up in his own planning, and his mouth never stopped:

"Before, I wanted to open the martial arts hall here, but now it doesn't look appropriate, but it can't be too far, just look for a few houses on the side of Tian Baihu, buy it and open it up and put it together, and there is also a sign of the martial arts hall, Brother Li and I go to train every morning, don't buy knives and guns first, just prepare long and short wooden sticks first......

After Ma Sanbiao came back, he listened to Wang Tong's request, smiled, took fifty taels of silver on the ground, patted his chest and said that he would definitely recruit people.

Unlike before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Wang Tong was extremely busy at this time, Ma Sanbiao and Zhang Shiqiang had just gone out, and Zou Yi, who was dressed in black, led several burly men in.

These five big men are wearing nothing more than the short robes of martial artists, but the kind of calm aura on their bodies shows that they are not civilians who are good at martial arts, such a temperament can only exist in the army, and they must be elite divisions.

"Lord Wang, these people are the teachers of the martial arts hall, let's see them!"

It is rare for both sides to hug their fists as a salute, but after several big men saw Wang Tong, the contempt in their expressions did not even hide much, seeing that Wang Tong and other half-grown children are also called "adults", and a bear and tiger man like himself has to hug his fists with such children as a courtesy, and he has to be contemptuous.

Wang Tong feels that he is a sincere person, but his age and appearance are here, there is no in-depth contact, and no outsiders who have experienced anything together despise him and despise him, but it is also a normal reaction, and Wang Tong doesn't care.

After complaining, Wang Tong said bluntly:

"Father-in-law Zou also asked to tell Father-in-law Zhang that Wang is going to be a student, but he will only come in the afternoon, a few teachers and students will sit down, and Wang will tell you about the arrangement of this course!"

At the beginning of the lecture, the contempt in the eyes of the instructors was still strong, but after a few words, the expression on their faces began to change from disdain to surprise, from surprise to shock, and then to solemnity.

"This method is somewhat similar to Qi Shaobao's rules for training soldiers......"

“…… It's just right for this age to practice, if you practice this, you will be a first-class soldier in the army, and it will be a good material for your own soldiers......"

“…… After I go back, I have to find some children to practice according to this method, no worse than their Zhejiang soldiers......"

Zhejiang soldiers specifically refer to Qi Jiguang trained out of the elite of a hundred battles, Qi Jiguang first came to Jizhen, Jizhen will display soldiers and horses to review, suddenly heavy rain fell from the sky, Jizhen soldiers and horses have scattered to avoid the rain, and Qi Jiguang with three thousand Zhejiang soldiers stood in the rain, not moving like a mountain, this scene in the Ming army for a beautiful talk.

When the instructors made such an evaluation, they obviously praised Wang Tong's method very much, and some people wondered how Wang Tong knew how to train soldiers at a young age.

Wang Tong didn't understand, but what he was talking about was what was taught in modern physical education classes, and those were the concrete manifestations of modern military skills and collective training.
