Chapter 10023 Smoke Miasma Songjiang Mansion

In fact, there were still many major events in the middle of the sixteenth year of Wanli, such as the armed forces of the naturalized merchant group and the Horqin Department carried out several major battles and beheaded countless people, such as the Jingshi Xungui recruited poor people in Shandong and Henan to open up the wasteland, for example, Wang Tong went to Songjiang Mansion to be the general office.

Everything had to be discussed by the government and the opposition in the past, and there were countless disputes and analyses, but at this time, it was not a big deal, and the victory of the imperial army to conquer Liaozhen and destroy the Jianzhou Jurchens was so brilliant that everyone didn't pay much attention to other things at all.

In the middle of the previous year, the savings were exhausted and the harvest had not yet arrived, and it was often the most critical time for the economy of small civilian households, and the slightest fluctuation was bankruptcy and bankruptcy, and then there would always be such and such chaos in various places, and the hungry and displaced people gathered in the crowd, or there were people with intentions to incite the poor people, and the situation this year has been much better, and this kind of riots of all sizes are at least 40 percent less than last year, and even less than 70 percent less than before.

What is the reason, it is nothing more than that outside the customs and outside the plug, there are a large number of fields that need people to cultivate, and people are being recruited everywhere, which invisibly absorbs the displaced and poor, and people have a way out, and they can ask for food and clothing, so they will not make any trouble.

After this conclusion was reached, the cabinet secretary talked to friends, and the news soon reached the ears of a certain cabinet boss, and then the secretary was sent to Huguang to be the prefect with an outstanding evaluation.

Although Wang Tong went to Songjiang, but what he did was still there, military, economy, people's livelihood, everything is dazzling, he is a military general has such an achievement, no matter what later generations do, everything has a comparison, if you do not do well, it is naturally inferior, if you do well, it must be carried forward what Wang Tong did, everyone is at the highest level in the world, they are all arrogant people, let people evaluate like this, no one is reconciled.

But I don't want to hear it, I don't want people to compare, it doesn't mean that Wang Tong doesn't exist, the hereditary Duke of Liao, and the overseeing of the opening of Songjiang Port in the world, it's difficult not to hear it.

From the end of the fifteenth year of Wanli to the end of the sixteenth year of Wanli, the opening of Songjiang port has been stumbling, and it has not been an inch at first, and then it has no choice but to transfer a cadre of Tianjin Wei to Songjiang Mansion, which is slowly moving, but it is still progressing very slowly.

Tianjin Wei opened the port is only ten years, and on the edge of the Beijing Division, many people remember how Tianjin Wei developed, a small city that existed because of the transit of grain, suddenly gathered the world's wealth, prosperous, and not that kind of messy pattern.

The city is well organized, and the orderly expansion of the city has made people who have been there feel that there are many more rules than the Jingshi, and everyone thinks that everyone should learn from this regulation, and they should all follow this.

Before the advent of Tianjin Wei, few people could have imagined that such a thriving city could be as safe and peaceful as the market, and that everyone from officials to merchants to the common people below could benefit, and it was very clean, which was really rare.

It seems to be a very simple thing, but it is to build a harbor near the sea, build a river near the river, divide the area in a checkerboard way, each area has a fixed public use, recruit a lot of errand officers, and take care of everything, by the way, dig sewers, clean up garbage or something.

Many scholars have been to Tianjin Wei, and many of them have also taken notes and pondered about it, some of the work done by these scholars is their own curiosity, and some are done for the bigwigs of the DPRK and China.

Everyone thinks like this, since Wang Tong can do this as a martial artist, we have been officials for many years and have rich experience in reading sage books, wouldn't it be better to take his know-how.

That is, with this plan, when Wang Tong proposed the opening of Songjiang Port, the courtiers agreed one after another, and on the one hand, they wanted to prove that they were not worse than Wang Tong.

It's easy to think, it's easy to say, it's not easy to do, the current situation in Songjiang Mansion proves this, you must know that the person who went to promote various policies is Zheng Guotai, when it comes to being prominent and favored, Zheng Guotai, the younger brother of Queen Zheng, said first, no one dares to admit the second.

However, the opening of Songjiang Port is still a mess, not to mention the mess, and it has been exploited by many people with ulterior motives.

According to the news from the Nanjing Jinyi Guardian, Songjiang Mansion has now become a place for pirates in Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong to write off their accounts, and they went ashore in the name of merchants to sell all kinds of goods looted at sea.

The pirates are doing business here, and the real sea tycoons are reluctant to come, sea lords like Shen Yuan and Sha Dacheng, with thousands of ships under their hands, and thousands of men who can go out to fight, I don't know how many times stronger than these pirates, but for them, sea business and collecting taxes and fees for sea passage are the main income, killing people and goods, but it is a side business, which is only used for deterrence.

After all, there are many ships running on the sea, and they have received more silver, and they are really going to kill them all, that is, they will dry up and fish, and there is no benefit at all.

For these sea owners who crisscross the sea, what they need is a port where they can buy a large number of goods at any time and buy the goods they bring in, and the current appearance of Songjiang Mansion is not what they need.

A stable supply of a large number of goods, as well as a large amount of cash and silver purchases, enough credit, can maintain long-term contact, such a person has to be the rich and wealthy in the Jiangnan provinces, to have an official relationship, but now Songjiang Mansion is in a mess like this, these wealthy businessmen and rich people do not want to come, feel embarrassed and fall, and everywhere are the kind of outlaws on the sea, a few small boats kill people at sea and cross the goods, and the sale of some scattered stolen goods, selling stolen goods is a small profit, this little money is not interesting, not to say, I also get myself into trouble.

The big businessmen on the sea are reluctant to come, and the wealthy merchants from all over the south of the Yangtze River are not willing to come, and Shanghai County, Songjiang Prefecture is now a den of thieves.

Everyone is counting on making a fortune here, isn't it a joke to collect money from those dice shops and prostitution dens, and confiscate some stolen goods?

So after Zheng Guotai stayed in Songjiang for a few months, he hurried back to Beijing, and if things can't be done, there is no credit, it is better to leave in advance, don't get into trouble in the end.

When Wang Tong came here, everything was different

On the second day of the eighth month, the clerks, errand servants, and the white and strong men of the Shanghai county government, as well as two inspectors and subordinates, in other words, all the people who were in charge of the yamen in Shanghai County were invited to the house by Wang Tong to attend a banquet.

Needless to say, the county order and the two inspectors are all officials with grades, and the rest are nothing, but they have an identity in the yamen.

Such a big person, suddenly received an invitation from the Minister of Liao, how can there be a reason not to go, there is a saying that the county official is not as good as the current management, Wang Tong is now in charge of Songjiang, it is in charge of them, and he dare not go.

The port chosen for the opening of Songjiang is in Shanghai County, and there is no need to say that there is a miasma of smoke in the county, and there are constant cases all day long, but no one pays attention to this by the servants and the fast catchers, and it is important to go to the banquet.

The Liaoguo Mansion began to be built a few years ago, outside the county seat of Shanghai, it is needless to say that it covers a vast area, it is a feature to be close to the riverside, and the mansions of the wealthy families are rarely close to the riverside Haikou, but look at the Liaoguo Mansion is still next to a port, and those big ships are moored in the port, and everyone will understand why.

There were more than three hundred people who came to the banquet, and in terms of the scale of Wang Tong's mansion, it was not a big deal, and the banquet was also arranged, and it was still in the courtyard.

The guest was greeted by Sha Dongning, the leader of the guards beside Wang Tong, Sha Dongning was in front of the door with more than a dozen personal guards, and Sha Dongning now also has the rank of a guerrilla general.

In terms of grade, not to mention the two inspections, even the county magistrates of Shanghai County have to call themselves subordinate officials, and those errand officers naturally dare not make mistakes, and they all look respectful.

These veterans who were selected as Wang Tong's guards, all of them were elite soldiers, brave people who had seen blood, they were placed outside the door, and the cadres in Shanghai County were afraid when they looked at it.

Sha Dongning didn't have a smile on his face, but he was also polite, and when the people in the brigade passed, he said disdainfully to the people around him:

"These people say that they are public, and they don't even look as good as Tartars, what do they look like when they are all angry, are they catching thieves or thieves?"

The next few people were all laughing, and someone joked and said:

"Our grandfather is here, all cows, ghosts, snakes and gods will be swept away, let them be unlucky!"

While he was talking, a guard ran out of the courtyard, approached and whispered to Sha Dongning:

"The sand team, everyone has arrived, and the people on the list have arrived, and they have been ordered twice."

On the other side, a man with a turban on his head rode over, turned over and dismounted, and said:

"Sand team, except for those who are watching the port, the rest of the people who can come over have come."

"Then I'll bother you to watch it."

"What kind of tiredness, the sand team's business today is diligence."

Sha Dongning smiled, waved his hand and said meaninglessly:

"The door is closed here, don't go one, I'll go."
