The first step in entering the Tianjin Acropolis was to place his troops. After consideration, the Logistics Division of the Ordnance Department of the Guards Battalion was placed in the city, and the left and right battalions were stationed outside the city, living on both sides of the Haihe River.

The battalion of guards entered the acropolis and immediately took over the defense of the city from the guards. There are more than 10,000 soldiers registered in Tianjin Sanwei, but most of them are distributed in Luanping, Wuqing and other guards. There were more than 1,000 guards in charge of defense in the city, and Chen Yue simply let these people out and let them go about their own affairs, and they would not be on duty again in the future.

There was no need to take turns on duty, so they had more time to manage their own affairs, and both the officers and men were overjoyed and excitedly laid down their weapons and went out of the city.

"Lord Zhongcheng, this is a little inappropriate." Bingbei Daoyuan Yuzong persuaded that the military households were all released with ducks, if there was something wrong, how would it be good.

"It's okay, my standard camp is enough to defend the city, and I'll gather them when there is something." Chen Yue disagreed, these guards have no combat effectiveness, it is not a matter for them to gather together, it is a pure waste of food, it is better to disband and let them go to farming.

"In the future, the guards will be in charge of the original lord, spring is coming, it's time for spring ploughing, don't let them delay the season, the money and grain collected by the guards every year are a lot." Chen Yue commanded casually. Bing Beidao, responsible for the combat readiness of these guards, this mess will be handed over to Yuan Yuzong to be responsible, there is only one month before the fall of Beijing, Chen Yue really has no time to pay attention to these things.

In the afternoon, a large merchant outside the city jointly posted a post inviting the new governor to Yunqing Tower for a banquet.

When the magistrate takes office, the local big households naturally want to express themselves, which is the proper meaning of the question, and for Chen Yue, this is also an opportunity to reap the benefits, and he will naturally not let it go. So he rushed to the banquet with dozens of personal guards.

Yunqing Building, is the largest restaurant in Tianjin, the decoration is extremely luxurious, is the first choice for wealthy businessmen to gather.

Tonight, the entire restaurant was packed, and the merchants of Tianjin Wei were able to give a joint banquet to the governor. Chen Yue led people to the restaurant, and all the merchants greeted the door with smiles on their faces.

After the guards went upstairs to check it, Chen Yue walked into the building with a smile. The banquet is on the second floor, and when you open the window, you can see the flow of the Haihe River and the boats on the canal, and the scenery is extremely beautiful.

Chen Yue sat on the main seat first, after the merchants introduced themselves, they sat on both sides according to each other's identities, Chen Yue listened casually, there were three salt merchants, five grain merchants, two silk merchants, and one tea merchant. Since they were able to participate in this banquet, they should all be the most powerful people in Tianjin.

After the introduction, the sound of silk and bamboo sounded, a burst of fragrance came, and the beautiful singer walked into the building, smiling and sitting next to everyone.

"Lord Zhongcheng, this is the top Xiangxiang girl in Cuiyun Building, but she is a thin horse from Yangzhou." A salt merchant in a brocade robe smiled at Chen Yue in a daze.

Chen Yue smiled and glanced at the Xiangxiang girl beside him, but did not speak. He is not a gentleman who sits still, but he has no intention of doing so in this tense situation. The reason why he was willing to come to the banquet was because of the idea of knocking on a bamboo pole. Anyway, the army is coming, and the wealth of these people is not still cheap in the end, so it is better to take out some for themselves as military expenses.

Although there are still more than 200,000 taels of silver in the army, and the grain depot of the Tianjin Acropolis is also in their own hands, there is always too much money and grain, and with money and grain, more and stronger armies can be formed in the future!

"Lord Zhongcheng, today is your first day of business, our merchants in Tianjin Wei have prepared thin wine together, for you to catch the wind and wash the dust, we salute your glass!" The salt merchant seemed to be the leader of the merchants, and he smiled and raised his cup, and the other merchants raised it as well.

Chen Yue squeezed the cup with a smile, but he didn't mean to pick it up. Then all the merchants looked at him nervously, not knowing what the new governor was planning.

"Hehe, whatever, sorry, I forgot your name. You say it's thin wine, but I've never seen this table so big. Chen Yue smiled, the salt merchant's face suddenly turned red, he claimed to be a celebrity in Tianjin, who knew that Chen Yue didn't even look at him, and he suddenly felt ashamed in his heart.

"Not only have I never seen such a sumptuous banquet, but I am afraid that all the brothers in our army have never seen it. Alas, thinking that some time ago they were still eating chaff vegetables, and the brothers could not even get a full meal, but now that there is such a sumptuous feast in front of them, the official does not know what to do! ”

Obedient and obedient, those of you here can become big businessmen, which one is not a human spirit, Chen Yue complained that the army had poor food and could not eat enough, so why not send a signal to these people and let them donate money to help the army. But who wants to give his money? So they all smiled and pretended not to understand. 、

These people are all giant businessmen, who do not have a tough background behind them, and many of them still have the fame of showing off talents, and they are not very afraid of Chen Yue in their hearts. The reason why he was willing to come forward to entertain Chen Yue was just a routine in officialdom.

Seeing that these people didn't accept the recruitment, Chen Yue smiled indifferently, now he is the governor of Tianjin, controlling the Tianjin Guard, and there are 5,000 elite soldiers under him, and some have the opportunity to clean up these people.

The banquet was not salty or light, during which someone proposed a wine order, and Chen Yue did not look interested, so the banquet ended hastily. Chen Yue rejected the offer to cross Wushan with Miss Xiangxiang, left the restaurant with his guards, and returned directly to the Acropolis.

"What does this surname Chen mean, we kindly feasted him, and he actually made this appearance of neither yin nor yang, is it clear that he doesn't give face to us people?" After sending Chen Yue away, these people came back again, and a salt merchant surnamed Zhao complained.

"Obviously, he wants us to donate silver to the army, but our silver is not blown by the wind." Another merchant said.

"Don't pay attention to him, he doesn't even have a reputation, what kind of thing, I don't believe he dares to do anything to us, and he turned against him!" Another salt merchant said disdainfully, relying on someone in the court.

"Hahaha, his surname Zhao is not blessed to enjoy these beauties, so let's have a good time." The leader of the merchants put his arm around the Xiangxiang girl and smiled lewdly.

"Ah, old money, why did you snatch Miss Xiangxiang away, no, you have to give it to me today." The merchant surnamed Zhao screamed loudly.

"Hahaha, hahaha" The lewd laughter rang out, spread far away, and gradually drifted away in the night wind.
