"Everyone, these five hundred horses are for Huwei's own use, you are not too late, but if you can afford it, you can go to Xuanfu City or Zhangjiakou Fort in May, and then Tianjin Wei will open a warehouse trade there, and you will be given a discount. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

It has been two days since the Huwei Battalion's brigade left Xuanfu Wacheng, and the large number of livestock they brought with them were almost sold in Xuanfu City, and the rest of the horses were ready for the Huwei Battalion's horse team for their own use.

The horses that are carefully selected and left behind are naturally good horses, and the three labels of the horses are staring very closely, for fear of being sold again, but those people everywhere who get the news late are still unrelenting to keep up with the entanglement.

Since your Huwei camp started selling in Zhangjiakou Fort, why don't you sell it now, now these animals are all high-quality, and everyone is even willing to buy them at a price of 20%.

The Huwei battalion has strict military discipline, but it is very polite to these sincere people who do business, and specially sent Cai Nan to contact him, leaving his name, and it will be easy to deal with in the future.

The Ma family and the Li family gave Wang Tong a total of ten taels of silver, and the Li family still had some of it and could not take out some of it, so they put forward a condition for Wang Tong, that is, Wang Tong was allowed to open a store and warehouse in Xuanfu and participate in the border trade.

The Ming Dynasty does not need the goods on the grassland, but the grassland needs the goods of the Ming Dynasty, and they trade with each other, which is normal.

Since the end of Jiajing and Altan Khan's peace talks, the border trade has been continuous, but the trade of salt, iron and livestock has a strict quota, and no certain quota is allowed.

But there is a will, there is a countermeasure, even when the enemy country is at war and the fight is inexorable, the trade between the nine borders of the Ming Dynasty and the grassland has not been cut off.

The reason is very simple, the border generals want money, to let the military academy below pro-soldier wealth, in addition to deducting military salaries and military supplies, the biggest source of wealth is to trade with various tribes in the grassland, the profits of the Ming Dynasty's goods trafficking to the grassland are greater than the profits of the Ming Dynasty's southern goods and the north, and even not inferior to the private salt and sea trade, large and small businessmen flock to it, and the border generals will set up cards for these merchants to collect money, draw taxes, and even participate in it.

Waiting for border trade is the financial power of the border general, and it is also a kind of privilege to recognize, not to mention that in the border feed, the border general is a man of his word, without his permission, he can't do business at all.

After Tianjin Wei opened the sea, a large number of goods from the south and foreign oceans gathered here from everywhere, and then scattered everywhere with Tianjin Wei as the endpoint, but the northernmost also went to Beijing, Ji Yu and Xuanfu could not enter, but the merchants over there came to purchase, although the profits were also very high, but there was no interaction at all.

But after getting Ma Fang's permission, Sanjiang Commercial Bank can open a branch here in Xuanfu, and the land shop does not have to worry about Wang Tong's side, and the taxes are all exempted, and the border trade is returned, and the taxes are also completely exempted.

In the store opened in Xuanfu City, the Ma family accounted for 30% of the shares, and the first two years were not divided into penny, and after two years, the accounts were divided according to shares.

One thousand two hundred, three hundred and twenty one, three hundred and sixty thousand taels of silver, Ma Fang only gave half of it this time, and one shop discounted nearly 200,000 taels of silver.

But Wang Tong originally planned to buy a few taels of silver, dozens of taels of silver, but the silver he got was all in vain, and with the branch of Sanjiang Commercial Bank Beryllium in Xuanfu, the goods collected by Tianjin Wei will also be sold to Xuanfu through this point, and can even be sold to the grassland.

This is tantamount to doubling the business territory of Tianjin Wei, if you count the grassland, this number is even more than that, the profit of 180,000 taels, Cai Nan and Wang Tong roughly estimated that they could earn it back in the first year, which was really a real profit. "My lord, ten miles of mangmian is to feed the border city! Wang Tong rode on the horse, a pro-soldier came over to report, he nodded, the pro-soldier rode to the front of the team again, Wang Tong turned his head to Cai Nan who was sitting in the carriage and said: "Prison army, we are in Shuntianfu tonight." ”

Hearing this, Cai Nan stood up at the front of the cart, looked around with his hand on the pergola, and said with a smile: "I didn't think Tianjin Wei was my hometown, but I have only been away for more than a month, but I think like this in my heart, it is really weird, it is really weird......

Because of the heavy land of Gyeonggi, there is a side wall between Shuntianfu and Xuanfu, and this border city is one of the passes, Wang Tong looked at the border city and side wall in front of him that had revealed the outline, looked back again, and said in a deep voice:

"I really don't want to stay in Xuanfu for one more S1, I always feel that it is boring here, such a general soldier, such a general, such a side feed, it is really ......"

Wang Tong said a few words, knowing that some words could not be said too clearly after all, and spit on the ground. Spitting, nine sides of the heavy feed, spending nearly 10 million silver every year, is the biggest burden on the Ming Dynasty's finances, but the cost is so huge, but there are such generals who dare not go out of the plug "old Cheng heavy" even the level has to spend money to buy, the army will not dare to fight with the Tartars, so what is the use of them.

After Ma Fang finished selling the grade, he said that he would open a store in partnership, provide convenience, and exempt himself from taxes. When he first came to Xuanfu, Li Yunsheng, the deputy chief soldier, also understood that whether they were generals of the Ming Dynasty or businessmen who made money and made money, this really made people unable to judge, but Wang Tong knew that such generals could not fight, thinking about making ruthenium every day, and having a heavy net worth, who would think about being loyal to the country and fighting to the death. "Pear, we will come to the grassland every year in the future to cut off our heads, and then sell them to your family, and we will all build a good armor......"

"Li Hutou, you are endless, the Xuanfu is like this, my family bought it, Ma Dashuai's family also bought it, Ma Dashuai's family bought so much, several generals and guerrillas in the Xuanfu, and even the garrisons below have passed, who doesn't want to be even." 11 r 111 1 tsk ● You Xuanfu 1111111" "Master, I killed the enemy on the grassland, and I also rushed to the front with a sword, and I have also seen blood, besides, I will start to clean you up...... "Cut, try to see who is afraid of ......" "Don't make trouble, don't make trouble, adults are in front, this way of marching, up and down are all rules, we are not decent." ”

Wang Tong and Cai Nan's conversation was interrupted by the noise behind him, Wang Tong looked back with a smile, Li Tao's face was already flushed, Li Hutou was laughing and mocking there, and Sun Xin was there to persuade, which made Wang Tong feel a lot better, and said: "Sun Xin is a heavy rank, these days are depressed, and they are always happy to see the tiger head." Tan Jiang on the side kept sinking, and interjected at this time:

"Master, except for Qi Dashuai's side, all the border towns are almost like this, and many of the Xuanfu actions have been regarded as convergence, but that Marin has always had a strong reputation, and it is said that he is about to go to Datong to be a general of the guard, the lord has seen him, how to evaluate it?" Wang Tong shook his head and said:

"The delivery of silver is led by Marin, and they also chatted together, although he likes to be a scholar, but he is still quite interested in how to win, but he asked the price of our cart and artillery, but shook his head and said, there is silver to do, can ask this, the pattern is really limited." A few people on the side looked over, and Wang Tong said with a sneer:

"The Ma family's mansion is comparable to a prince, can spit out some of this silver, carts and artillery can't do anything, while not willing to eat less silver, while still doing things, there are such wishful things in the world." Speaking of this, Cai Nan on the side smiled and said:

"There is a prince, a group of tyrants, the women in the family are dressed as if they are the fans of the Qin Pavilion, the banquet costs a lot, but the cold dishes are on the top, the Jun porcelain is used, but the cold dishes are made of white porcelain to show cleanliness, he doesn't understand the rules of etiquette, and he also lets people hold on, our family wanted to laugh at the time, this habit was not Xingbu five years ago."

Cai Yu is also young, and he has eaten it in the palace, and this ridicule is estimated to be buried in his heart for a few days. "It is indeed the habit of a tyrant, as a general, he is content with pleasure, and he does not go to strong fitness and gymnastics to train soldiers and horses, but he learns what is rich and noble, and he still learns nondescript, which is really ridiculous."

Hearing Cai Nan's evaluation, everyone laughed, and Wang Tong also sighed a few words. Speaking of the Ma family, he remembered a matter and said:

"Having said so much, the Ma family is now doing business in partnership after all, so the two truckloads of soil alkali brought by Ma Yun should be taken care of, don't make any mistakes, after all, so much of our grain and straw are given by the Ma family."

Now the carts of the Huwei camp are full of grain, Ma Fang directly allocated it from the treasury, and after Wang Tong left the Ma family, the housekeeper Ma Yun privately asked Wang Tong for a matter.

Said that there are some small businesses at hand that want Wang Tong to help take care of them, Ma Yun is old in the Ma family, is Ma Fang's confidant, Wang Tong is also willing to help him, Ma Yun arranged a small guy to follow, the goods made Wang Tong a little surprised, it is two big cars of alkali, alkali Wang Tong doesn't know much, I just think that the kitchen is used, what money can this thing be sold for, Wang Tong really doesn't understand. "Say one thing this year, this time, the Huwei camp encountered a small group of Tartar invasions, and you fought hard and cut two hundred, do you know?"

After entering the Shuntian Mansion and encamping at the mouth of the river, Wang Hui summoned the officials of each battalion and 100 households, and solemnly told him this order.

Cut two hundred, everyone was a little puzzled, there were thousands, how did it become so little, Wang Tong looked at everyone puzzled, raised his voice and said: "The reward is naturally calculated according to the actual military merits, and the official has to increase the weight, but externally, it is all declared that the two hundred will be cut, and each battalion will notify the soldiers, who is not in the right caliber, and the military law will be engaged!" ”

Listening to what Wang Tong said seriously, everyone solemnly received the order, and each returned to the camp, Wang Tong shouted Li Hutou again, and said: "You go to Beijing early tomorrow morning, and make an appointment with Zhang Cheng and Zhang Gonggong for me."
