Chapter 1028 This time I have to take the lead

Although several counties of Songjiang Prefecture are bordered by the sea, the transportation from the county seat to the sea is not convenient, and there are no facilities on the seaside, after all, when the Japanese invaders were the most violent, Songjiang Prefecture suffered a lot here, and the policy of banning the sea was implemented very effectively here, and it was slowly abandoned.

Tianjin Wei also has a military port wharf, there is a foundation, Songjiang Mansion has to be re-planned and built, and all projects must be started from scratch.

All projects are construction from scratch, the project is not small, whether it is the construction of the materials required manpower, the material is good to say, Songjiang is rich, because the opening of the port court also gave privileges, taxes can be used for construction, with money and materials do not worry, Songjiang Mansion is adjacent to the Yangtze River East China Sea, there are several rivers in the territory and the rest of the provinces are adjacent, it is more convenient to transport by ship.

What really worries people is manpower, all the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River are densely populated, but there are few homeless and hungry people in the south of the Yangtze River to recruit.

When Wang Tong came to Songjiang Mansion, he learned that the local people eat white rice and dried fish on weekdays, which may not be possible for ordinary small landlords in the north.

Many coastal cities in the Ming Dynasty immediately changed from prosperity to decay after the ban on the sea, and Songjiang Prefecture is different, after the ban on the sea, he relied on the local cotton textile industry to maintain the master, and even because of the expansion of the scale and more prosperous, the local fields are fertile where they are cultivated, and the rest of the places are to spin and weave, or to run for the cloth industry, and the workshops in Songjiang Prefecture have to hire people from other prefectures and counties every year, and there is no spare manpower to participate in the infrastructure.

In addition, the surrounding provinces of Songjiang Prefecture are in a similar situation to Songjiang Prefecture, and a large number of outsiders are hired to work as tenants, but it is difficult to provide manpower.

Therefore, the local conquest and labor did hurt the interests of the gentry and the common people, and he went to work on the infrastructure for a day, and the work of the family was delayed, and he made less money.

At the beginning, it only relied on the more than 1,000 hard labor that Songjiang Mansion cleaned up, and then shared the burden of each family as much as possible, but fortunately, hundreds of people were killed, more than 1,000 people were arrested, and Songjiang Mansion was scared up and down, this is what it maintains, but it is not a long-term solution.

Therefore, the sea to exterminate pirates has become a good way to supplement manpower, because of the rise of Tianjin Wei, the scope of activities of several big people on the sea is to the north, and the sea surface of Nanzhili and Zhejiang has become a power vacuum, many small pirate gangs are active here, the sea is not quiet, the merchants are as far as possible to detour, pirates are rampant and collude with bandits on land, so that all prefectures and counties are also a miasma.

To exterminate pirates, one is to capture a large number of manpower, and the other is to secure the trade routes, counting in one fell swoop, not to mention that you can use the seized property to buy food and materials, which is used to supply the needs of the port opening project, this is one of the innate advantages of the opening of the port in Songjiang Prefecture, he itself is a place where the grain is abundant, and you can buy food if you have money.

The local people were originally quite frightened by the actions of Liao Guogong, which was too bloody, but as soon as the pirates were cleared, everyone applauded.

Wang Tong was negotiable when he assigned labor to each family, but the training of this township warrior regiment was absolutely non-negotiable, even if there was a coolie replacement, it must be maintained, and each family originally had grievances and complaints, but after seeing a team of pirate prisoners, everyone supported it, protecting the territory and the people, and doing it was of real benefit to their own family.

As for the seized stolen goods, Wang Tong sold them in Songjiang Mansion and purchased a large number of materials needed for the project, which attracted merchants from all over the world and made the market of Songjiang Mansion greatly prosperous.

There are so many pirate coolies, and some people are worried about whether they will make trouble, and now the soldiers of the thousands of households in Songjiang Mansion are not very good, and the ones who can fight are the hundreds of guards in the hands of the Duke of Liao and the sailors on the big ships, but those big ships are not always there, and they are unreliable.

In fact, when the number of captives and slaves reached about 2,000, they also saw that there were not too many people guarding them, so they got up and made a fuss for a while, and only Wang Tong's 200 guards were guarding them at that time.

As soon as they saw the chaos here, some people hurriedly went to the county seat to report the news, and the news spread along the way, and everywhere was panicked, and every household gathered people or ran to the city.

When hundreds of people gathered in the city to come to the rescue, they found that the rebellion of the captives had been suppressed, and in a short period of time, the two hundred guards had killed nearly four hundred people.

The head of the corpse was hung up for public display, wasting a lot of wood and bamboo, which made the later people even more frightened, and also made everyone more confident in Wang Tong's strength, however, for the training of Ding Yong and the people, everyone was also enthusiastic, and it did not cost their own people's strength, so they had to use prisoners, and they were afraid of chaos with prisoners, and it was also rest assured that they were young and strong in their hands, and they were all their own people.

However, they didn't expect that the soldiers who were trained by Wang Tong would definitely be Wang Tong's subordinates

"Liao Lang has been catching thieves on Taihu Lake and the river these days, he was scolded miserably first, the so-called first scum of the green forest!"

Wang Tong said with a smile, today the Liaoguo Mansion set up a family banquet, banquet for Jinyi Wei Baihu Sha Dacheng, Wang Tong is under the hands of Tianjin Wei, most of them have an official rank in Jinyiwei, and they have an official identity, after all, it is convenient.

This family banquet is simple, Wang Tong naturally sits on the top, Wu Er, Shi Qi, these guards also have a seat, hearing Wang Tong say this, everyone laughed, Wu Er even said:

"Grandpa must have heard that there are still those characters on the river in the Taihu Lake Waterway, and while scolding, he sent someone over to say hello, saying that if the grandpa takes a fancy to them, they will immediately offer the power in their hands, just begging the grandpa to give them a chance to mend their ways, and they will come to Songjiang Mansion to be a good citizen."

Everyone laughed again, Wang Tong raised the wine glass and signaled, everyone hurriedly stood up and saluted, Sha Dacheng, who was sitting on Wang Tong's right hand, was already a lot whiter than when Wang Tong first saw him, after all, he had been pampered in Tianjin Wei for so long, and he didn't have to sleep in the open air, and he was much more comfortable, and he had a rich appearance.

"Sha Dacheng, I said that you should send someone over, why did you lead the fleet over, don't delay the business in Liaozhen."

"Please rest assured, from Tianjin Wei to Liaozhen Hailu Taiping, there is no wind and waves, the sons and daughters themselves are also proficient, there is no delay, grandpa's side is the most important, how can you let others do it, subordinates lead people over first."

Speaking of this, Sha Dacheng said with a smile again:

"So that my grandfather knows that this trip is not a loss, when I came, it was full of alkali and leather goods, and when I went back, it was full of silk and cotton cloth, and this trip back and forth is a few times more money, and I will come more in the future!"

The transportation cost of goods trafficking between the north and the south is almost five times or even more than that of sea transportation, not to mention those jams along the way, which costs more.

Everyone laughed again, and Wang Tong also nodded and said:

"Songjiang opened the port, many people in the government and the opposition are still discussing, saying that there is no alkali here, no leather goods in Songjiang, and seeing what kind of profiteering things can be made by Wang Tong, they didn't expect that the things in the north were transported to Songjiang by sea, and the things in the south were sold along the Yangtze River, and the things in the south came to Songjiang and shipped to various places, and this communication was enough to make Songjiang prosperous."

Everyone here has been following Wang Tong for a long time, and they can understand what Wang Tong said, everyone nodded, and Wang Tong asked again:

"Shen Vao's children have also entered the school now, it is said that Shen Vao is now settled in Tianjin Wei?"

"Yes, Shen Vao is now specializing in the business of going to the Wa Kingdom and Goryeo in the north, and he rarely comes to the south of Haizhou, and his subordinates say something offensive, if it weren't for Shen Vain and his subordinates in Tianjinwei, where these miscellaneous things can be allowed to do nonsense here, Shen Vain is also a hero, and now his mind is all on his child."

Sha Dacheng said with a smile, but looked at Sha Dongning standing next to him proudly, Wang Tong nodded with a smile and said:

"If we come here a few years later, maybe the people from the south will come over, maybe there will be a character like you in the local area, but now that we come, there will be no chance for them to grow up."

After saying a few words, everyone drank and chatted, there were new things to see and hear from Beijing and Tianjin, and there were also insights from Jiangnan, and they chatted with each other quite happily, Sha Dacheng glanced at Sha Dongning, hesitated and said:

"I originally came here to ask my grandfather for something, but I was afraid that I would cause trouble to my grandfather."

Wang Tong smiled and nodded, it was not a dilemma to be able to take this occasion to say.

"The Sha family wants to move over and contribute to Grandpa's affairs in Songjiang, and the current situation must cause a lot of trouble to Grandpa"

"Oh, that's a good thing, but your situation in Tianjin Wei is not small now, are you willing to come over like this?"

"That situation is not the grace of the grandfather, besides, what the Sha family ship company has to do is to go from Tianjin Wei to Liaozhen, there is no trouble with Dongning and his uncle, don't hide it from the grandfather, Tianjin Wei is such a big situation but Shen Vain has come out on top, and his subordinates are very greedy, now that Songjiang is opening a port, his subordinates can't give this opportunity to others."

After speaking, he laughed out loud, everyone in the room laughed along, Wang Tong put the wine glass on the table, and said:

"It's good for you to come to help my father, the naval forts over there in Tianjin Wei are all complete, and the Songjiang Mansion is still full of holes, and you are also thoughtful when you come, but you can't just come over, Sanjiang Insurance Bank, Sanjiang Qianzhuang, Sanjiang Shipyard, and Sanjiang Craftsman are all coming over, I will draw up a document, and you can bring it back to Tianjin Wei."
