"A commercial center, to have a superior geographical location, developed water and land transportation, these two Tianjin Wei are not lacking, the east of the sea, south of the canal, located between the densely populated Shandong and the rich Liaodong, backed by the world's largest city, millions of consumer markets, thousands of officials, thousands of wealthy merchants, the last power of the empire, but also the most consumption power of a group of people......"

Tang Yi talked eloquently, summing up the advantages of Tianjin, the people below listened sideways, and analyzed them one by one, they all burst into tears, God, they Tianjin Sanwei is also too good, it is simply a God-given treasure, if it is not rich and prosperous, it is simply intolerable!

Tang Yi continued: "Everyone must have heard the story of Zhong Yong, a person who squandered and wasted his talent would be unpopular. The same is true for a city, God has given the opportunity, and it depends on how we all grasp it. ”

"Wen Xiangjiao went to Tianjin to make trouble, and easily gathered tens of thousands of people, the official doesn't want to hold anyone responsible, but the official must tell the big guys that those who want to follow the back of the Wenxiang Sect's ass, pick up a little soup and water, and get some cheap people, are completely blind and confused! They regard Kaihai as a piece of fat, and they all want to fight for it, to bite a piece down, no matter how much, to eat it in their stomachs first. But have you ever thought about it, everyone wants to eat a piece, and the result is that Tianjin's business environment has deteriorated, and it is very likely to become a second canal, entrenched by all kinds of strange forces, constantly being sucked blood, and being exploited, you may pay the price of one hundred taels of silver the day after tomorrow for the cheapness of one or two silver today! ”

Tang Yi's voice was like a bell, knocking on the heart of every Tianjin gentry, "Someone wants to ask, after the opening of the sea, what benefits can it do to Tianjin?" First of all, the first one. The rise of Tianjin seaport, porters, shipbuilders, bookkeepers, tooth shops, wineries and tea shops. The inn Qinglou, the warehouse and the car dealership, all aspects add up, at least 50,000 workers are needed, and now there are less than 100,000 people in Tianjin Sanwei, that is to say, your children and nephews can find jobs and have no worries about food and clothing. Even if young people in Tianjin fail the imperial examination, they only need to know a few words. If you know how to settle accounts, you can find a good way to live and live an easy life. ”

"If you don't think it's enough, after the opening of the sea, Tianjin City will definitely expand exponentially, thousands of merchants will pour in, and the land price will increase several times, and your worth will not be the same at that time. If you are ambitious. If you have ambitions, you can invest in workshops. Establish a commercial bank to deal in goods from the north and the south, and make a lot of profits. If you don't have that ambition, you can be well-off just by guarding the land in your hands and eating tile rice. It won't be long before Tianjin is full of gold. Opportunities abound. ”

Tang Yi's mouth was dry, he grabbed the teacup and drank two sips, and while he was drinking tea, he glanced at the gentry below, all of them looking excited. The fists are clenched and gurgling, the face is red and the heart is hot, and I can't wait to shake my arms and do it immediately!

For a moment, Tang Yi felt that he had some talent for dissipation, and then thought about it, after all, the people of the Ming Dynasty were still too naïve, far less shrewd than the people bombarded by the information bombardment of later generations, and their own ability to deceive honest people!

Tang Yi changed his words and said: "The prospect is bright, but the road is rugged, I just said that the opening of the sea should not be regarded as a piece of fat, but should be regarded as a seed, and when it grows into a big tree, you can reach out and pick sweet fruits." The meat will be eaten up, but the fruit will be there every year, and it will be endless. What we need to do most now is to set up the most suitable set of norms for Tianjin, and create the best soil for seeds to survive, and the opening of the sea in Tianjin is not a matter for the imperial court, but a matter for every Tianjin people......"

Tang Yi spent ten days in a row, asking the gentry and people everywhere to give speeches, this Tang great champion did not talk about the slightest Confucian and Mencian Dao, he talked about his business experience, and told everyone that you can get benefits from opening the sea.

In the last few days, street vendors, ordinary citizens, and even peasants from the surrounding villages and towns came to the lectures.

By the end of the speech, even the beggars knew that as long as the sea was opened, those with sound hands and feet would be able to find a job, and even if they couldn't do the work, so many high-ranking officials and dignitaries would come over, and the money for charity would increase.

Tang Yi's actions made Lu Bing almost cry!

When he arrived in Tianjin, he didn't stop for a moment, but he didn't end well, but instead caused a rebellion in the smelling incense sect, so that he could overturn in the gutter.

But what about Tang Yi, just by moving his mouth, he fooled people into obsession, looking at the degree of obsession, it was even more powerful than Wang Sen of the Wenxiang Sect.

Lu Bing even suspected that if Tang Yi ascended to the heights and shouted, these people would be able to follow him and shout "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand", and they did not hesitate to do the great cause of changing the day.

Of course, this is just Lu Bing's illusion, and the main reason why Tang Yi can cause a sensation is that his identity is too special.

As the most brilliant person in the history of the Ming Dynasty, ordinary people regard him as Wen Kuixing, and the words he says are all immortals, do you dare to refute them?

Then I have to say that the accumulation of many years of traffic travel, there are also many merchants in Tianjin who have business dealings with them, and they don't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, they also have to hold Tang Yi.

But no matter what, Tang Yi has created momentum.

What Tang Yi did next made Lu Bing confused again, this person was not in a hurry to repair the port, nor was he in a hurry to get the money warehouse, but called on all the people to launch a "cleaning campaign".

Starting from the yamen at all levels, all officials, including Jinyi Wei, went to the streets to clean up, and specially sent people to every household, and all those who did not have toilets were all helped to build toilets, and those who saw urine and urine on the streets were severely punished......

In fact, compared with the West at the same time, China's urban sanitation conditions are not bad, take the West as an example, it is even more feces everywhere, not to mention how dirty, ladies wearing high heels is to reduce contact with the ground, saving from stepping on landmines. As for the brimmed hat on the head, it is to guard against the dung soup that falls from the sky.

But to be honest, Tianjin's sanitary conditions are still far from Tang Yi's requirements.

To solve the problem of toilets, Tang Yi set up baths everywhere, requiring everyone to take a bath at least once a month, dress neatly when going out, renovate the houses along the street, plant flowers and trees on both sides of the main street, and put domestic garbage in a designated place, and then be transported away by a special person. In addition, the mass graves outside the city must also be cleaned up, and corpses are not allowed to be discarded at will, and livestock must be slaughtered in designated places......

There are no less than 100 regulations.

Not to mention ordinary people, even Lu Bing's scalp was numb when he saw it, "I said okay, the entire Ming Dynasty, except for the Forbidden City, is also the rule of Tianjin, didn't you say that you want to do the right thing, what are you doing with these things?" ”

Tang Yi has to patrol everywhere almost every day, and his voice is hoarse, but he is full of energy.

"Lu Taibao, what I'm doing is the right thing."

Lu Bing was confused and puzzled.

Tang Yi said hoarsely: "The city is a big pool of people and wealth, you dress up the city with flowers, you can naturally attract rich businessmen to come, with them stationed, the popularity will come up, smart people will smell a different taste, at that time, they will take the initiative to rush forward, it is much easier than us to catch up with a whip, if you don't believe it, just look at it!" ”

Lu Bing was very puzzled by Tang Yi's behavior of doing the dojo without chanting scriptures, but he couldn't resist Tang Yi, so he could only watch, and when Tang Yi arrived in Tianjin for more than three months, businessmen from the north and south came to Tianjin one after another.

There are Shandong, Jin merchants, Hui merchants, Fujian and Zhejiang merchants, more merchants from Susong and other places, and even more surprising even Liaodong merchants, jewelers, timber merchants, fur merchants have rushed here, if not limited to China, it is estimated that North Korea and other places, as well as Western merchants will come.

However, these people alone have made Tianjin very lively, and there are people everywhere, and teahouses and restaurants are full of people talking.

The first feeling of the big guy in Tianjin is that it is clean, from the city to the outside of the city, it is very neat and tidy, even so, there are people from time to time to sprinkle and sweep.

Then there is the kindness of the officials in Tianjin, and there is no messy tax when entering the city, and some officials and officials even take the initiative to help the merchants guide the way and introduce their residences, which makes the merchants flattered, and their hearts say that the sun has come out of the west.

As we gradually adapted to the situation in Tianjin, we were pleasantly surprised to find that Tianjin was full of charm.

For example, there are new guild halls in the city, and in the guild halls, not only the places to stay, but also the patrol will send people to deliver the latest business news every day, including the prices of various places, the advertisements of some tooth shops, recruitment information, the work process of the yamen, as well as the construction progress of Tianjin Port, and the planning of opening the sea...... Without leaving home, everything is clear.

For ordinary people, it may be just a talking point, but for sensitive businessmen, this is a business opportunity, it is silver!

Every businessman who goes to Tianjin has a deep feeling, looking at the whole Ming Dynasty, there is no more suitable place to do business than Tianjin!

With this judgment, these businessmen made a decisive move, bought houses, rented shops, and took advantage of the cheap land price to decisively card the space, first come, first served, and then there was no more.

You buy it, I buy it, the streets of Tianjin in July and August are full of businessmen sweating profusely and waving a lot of silver tickets in their hands, they are like locusts crossing the border, and they will not let go of everything they see.

In just two or three months, house prices and land prices have more than tripled, and they are still rising.

Up to now, Lu Bing only has one word left, that is: Serve!

The heart is taken orally, from the top of the brain to the soles of the feet.

There is no need to open the sea, just to collect taxes on housing and real estate transactions, Lu Bing has almost more than 200,000 taels of silver in his hands, what kind of cleaning, building baths and toilets, the cost is enough, and there are still 70,000 or 80,000 taels left.

He made his own decisions, and first gave Jiajing 50,000 taels of silver.

On August 15, the first batch of grain and cloth shipped from the south of the Yangtze River will be shipped to Tianjin, and everyone is holding their breath and waiting for this critical moment! (To be continued.) )
