With the channels that Zhu Youzhen now has, it is very easy to inquire about the background of a store.

When Zhu Youzhen returned to the inn and drank the first cup of tea, Wang Chengen brought the so-called "public borrowing" information.

Wang Chengen said cautiously: "Your Highness, the owner of that shop is surnamed Jin, and it is said that the owner behind it is Qin Ximing, the garrison of Tianjin. ”

Zhu Youzhen frowned, "When did this store open?" ”

"This shop was opened in the forty-seventh year of Wanli. Originally, it didn't have a name, but it was called a pawnshop. The name was only given in October last year. Wang Chengen flipped through the information and said in detail.

"According to other news, our money bank has stopped accepting small deposits since October last year."

"Hmm." Zhu You replied, picked up the tea bowl and slowly tasted the tea.

After listening to these materials, Zhu Youzhen already had a general judgment on the matter, and he only hoped that the result would not be the worst.

"How many branches do we have in Tianjin?" Zhu Youzhen asked solemnly.

After a few sips of tea, Zhu Youzhen had already made up his mind.

Volkswagen is extremely important to him, and he can't leave anything to chance.

"We have three stores in Tianjin. All three stores are now not accepting small deposits. Wang Chengen immediately answered what Zhu Youzhen wanted to ask, and didn't look at the information at all.

"Has the Beijing General Operator received a report on this?"

"The old slave doesn't know this." Wang Chengen did not dare to make a judgment.

"Wang Miyan, send a message back, and ask Gao Qiqian to investigate all the behaviors of Tianjin Qianzhuang in detail. Be careful, call the high dive and make sure not to alarm them. Zhu Youzhen said solemnly.

In a hidden room in Tianjin.

"You're not kidding, are you?" A middle-aged scribe frowned.

In the shadows on the other side, a gruff voice said lightly, "Do you think I'm joking?" ”

"Aren't you kidding? Isn't this whimsical plan a joke? Do you think Tianjin Wei is a place where you can come and go whenever you want? It's ridiculous. Hehe. ”

The middle-aged scribe also deliberately laughed mockingly.

The rough voice did not fluctuate in the slightest, and still said steadily: "I don't need you to do anything." All you have to do is follow the normal procedure. ”

As he spoke, a piece of paper was thrown out of the shadows.

"This is for your master, you just need him to follow the normal procedure." The rough voice said lightly, and then he said no more.

The middle-aged scribe caught the piece of paper and glanced at it, and his breathing instantly became rapid.

Under the light, the words 10,000 taels on the paper were eye-catching, reminding him how expensive this piece of paper was. The middle-aged scribe asked with some surprise: "With so much money, you can't just buy it, why take such a risk?" ”

This time, the shadow man finally had some changes, and he seemed to smile bitterly: "If that stubborn old man is willing to sell, who will run here to find this sin." ”

Glancing at the piece of paper again, it was confirmed that it was the silver ticket of the public bank, and the middle-aged scribe took the silver ticket into his arms. He arched his hand into the shadows, "Since you insist on this, then I wish you good luck!" ”

Tianjin City, Tongfu Inn

"What? I said, third brother, why didn't you mention such a crucial matter earlier? Zhu Youzhen complained about Zhang Zhidu without blushing at all.

Leaving the matter of the money bank, Zhu Youzhen heard a bad news.

If they want to see the treasure ship, they have to go nearly a hundred miles.

Faced with Zhu Youzhen's complaints, Zhang Zhidu shook his head helplessly.

What can Zhang Zhidu say?

Zhang Zhidu never thought that His Royal Highness King Xin's common sense would be so poor. His Royal Highness King Xin didn't even know that Tianjin City was not on the seaside. In vain, he thought that His Royal Highness King Xin had come to Tianjin City specifically to play.

After complaining about Zhang Zhidu, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but laugh to himself.

It seems that he can't see the treasure ship today.

I can't see the treasure ship for the time being, I really can't complain about it, I can only hope that Zhu Youzhen is confused.

The eldest brother Zhu Youxiao said that the Zhenyun ship was in Tianjin Wei, not that the Zhenyun ship was in Tianjin City. Tianjin City is not close to the sea, it is nearly 100 miles away from Tianjin seaport.

If they set off now and arrive at the port of Tianjin, I am afraid that the sky will be bright.

Zhu Youzhen wanted to go to Tianjin Port to see the treasure ship, and according to reason, they should not enter Tianjin City. When they entered Tianjin City, they obviously took a detour.

Of course, from a certain point of view, Zhu Youzhen's complaint against Zhang Zhidu cannot be wrong.

After all, Zhang Zhidu knew Zhu Youzhen's final destination. Seeing that Zhu Youzhen was stupid and entered Tianjin City, Zhang Zhidu did not remind Zhu Youzhen, and he deserved Zhu Youzhen to complain.

Looking at Zhang Zhidu's speechless appearance, Zhu Youzhen didn't complain.

It's all wrong, what else. Instead of rushing to the night to make everyone suffer, it is better to spend the night in Tianjin. Compared with the hotels outside the city, after all, it is more comfortable to live in the city.

Tianjin City in this era is still very prosperous, and there are still a lot of places with various hooks and alleys, and there are still many places where the lights are bright and green.

Zhu Youzhen was very suspicious that Zhang Zhidu deliberately did not remind him for this reason.

Well, Zhang Zhidu's heart is greatly broken. Zhu Youzhen secretly slandered himself.

On the official road, the four-wheeled carriage was moving at a rapid pace.

"The fiery red sun has just come out of the mountain, and the morning glow fills half of the sky. ...... on the road."

On the carriage, Zhu Youzhen hummed a little song, comfortably admiring Zhang Zhidu's embarrassment of nodding vigorously.

"You deserve it, so that you know the detour but don't remind me; so that you know that you will leave early this morning and go to drink flower wine; If you are told to drink flower wine, you will not take me with you. ”

Zhu Youzhen complained at Zhang Zhidu in his heart, but on the surface, he patted Zhang Zhidu's shoulder seriously: "Third brother, look, there is a bird." Look, there's a rabbit over there. ”

All in all, in front of the resentful Zhu Youzhen, Zhang Zhidu still wanted to take a nap peacefully, but there was no door.

Tianjin City is really not close to Tianjin Port. Although Zhu Youzhen and his entourage had a carriage to travel, it took most of the day to run nearly 100 miles.

When the sun was setting in the west, the port of Tianjin had finally arrived.

The scale of Tianjin Port in this era was not large. It is said to be a seaport, but in fact it is just a small wharf at the mouth of the Haihe River.

During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, after the Yongle Emperor decided to move the capital, in order to protect the capital, he deliberately set up a guard in Tianjin to protect the capital.

Since then, the Ming Dynasty has built the city of Tianjin. Later, a fort was built at the mouth of the Haihe River to defend against the invasion of enemies at sea.

This fort at the mouth of the Haihe River is the later famous Dagukou Fort.

The Dagukou Fort guards the mouth of the Haihe River, and all foreign sea ships cannot cross the fort and enter the inland river without a purpose. In this way, a harbor for ships to be stationed under the fort gradually formed.

In fact, since Zheng He's fleet rotted in the Ming Dynasty, the port of Tianjin has long been abandoned. It was not until Wanli came to aid Korea to resist the Japanese that it was reactivated.

Tianjin Port really came in handy, but it was Yuan Keli who became the governor of Denglai in the past few years.

If it weren't for Yuan Keli, maybe Tianjin Port would still only be moored with a few small fishing boats.
