"My lord, how much is the Tianjin Jinyi Guard?"

"One thousand and thirty-five!"

"My lord, how many people are in charge now?"

“……”

"The students said for the adults, the seven battalions of the regular soldiers, one battalion of the horse team, and thirteen reserve battalions, the students also saw the soldiers and horses training when they were in their hometown, and the soldiers and horses of the Beijing division were already known as the elite, but the students felt that those soldiers and horses were fighting weapons and training exercises were not as good as the reserve battalions of adults."

Yang Sichen said in a deep voice, although Wang Tong's face was solemn, but he was a little proud in his heart, Yang Sichen said again:

"There are several financial resources in Tianjin, Tian Fu is the lightest, Ping An Qian is second, the canal tax is two, and the Haihe River tariff is the first, among them, Ping An Qian, the canal, and the Haihe River tariff are in the hands of adults, although the Tianjin Acropolis is not big, but it is the most businessmen in the North Zhili, the place where the materials are gathered, and the financial resources in the hands of the adults are almost as big as a few mansions."

Wang Tong nodded, these things can be observed as long as you are careful, Yang Sichen did it decently, Yang Sichen opened his mouth again:

"The adult is also the ambassador of the firearms workshop, the manufacture of firearms, the creation of weapons, are all in the hands of the adult, and the adult himself is a thousand households in brocade clothes, and the responsibility of supervising and spying is also on the adult."

Wang Tong smiled and was about to speak, but Yang Sichen stood up and said with a deep sigh of solemnity:

"My lord, disaster is coming!"

Hearing this, Wang Tong was stunned for a moment, and then slapped his forehead with his hand with a smile, said a bully, and then calmly said the solution.

This kind of marketing method is not uncommon for Wang Tong, and it is also one of the common methods, but Yang Sichen looks at the unpredictable and profound appearance, but he makes such a hand, which is really boring.

"Mr. Yang, if you have something to say, why bother with the bridge in this drama!"

Wang Tong's words were already a little unhappy, but Yang Sichen didn't seem to hear it, and clenched his fists and said:

"The adults control the military power and financial power, and they are located in the hub of the grain transshipment, and they are not mediocre and incompetent, what if you say that the adults have bad intentions, how can the adults deal with themselves?"

This is true, Yang Sichen said again:

"Canals, Haihe, inside and outside the city, there are many young and strong, adults control the firearms workshop, you can build a large number of weapons at any time, if you have the heart, coerce the strong men to send weapons, that is the side of the Beijing Division, can mobilize tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and there are the grain tuns of the Tianjin Acropolis, and there are waterways for the south to go north, this is not a big trouble."

Wang Tong said with a cold face:

"This official won't do that!"

"But the lords of the court will say like this, the Son of Heaven is kind to the lord, but Beijing and Tianjin are a few miles away, and the princes of the court and the central government have never liked adults, don't you know the saying that three people become tigers?"

"The officer knows, the officer knows......"

Wang Tong muttered that what the royal family values most is whether it can maintain this dominant position and whether it can continue the existence of the dynasty.

Any unstable factors must be wiped out, Wang Tong trained soldiers and horses, amassed financial resources, although everything was for the emperor and the Ming Dynasty, but he was dictatorial everywhere for the sake of efficiency, everything was in his hands, military power, financial power in control, and even had the power to manufacture weapons and control the arsenal.

If you think about it, you will indeed think of a lot of unpredictable places, the emperor has a good relationship with himself, and he is constantly competing for his interests outside to consolidate the monarchy of Wanli, but if someone provokes the above thoughts, what kind of trade-offs will the Wanli Emperor make, it is easy to judge.

Even if Emperor Wanli doesn't make such a trade-off, Empress Dowager Li, Feng Bao, and Zhang Juzheng will also make such a trade-off, as for why he is still sitting in this position safely, it is nothing more than that his strength has not yet reached that point.

But at the moment, everything is expanding rapidly, and the time is almost there......

Being picked up by Yang Sichen like this, Wang Tong's face was cautious, he fell into contemplation, thought for a while, and then raised his head with a smile and said:

"What Mr. Yang reminded is that since the Jingshi side is not at ease, then the official will delegate power."

Hearing this answer, Yang Sichen was taken aback, and then bowed solemnly, and said:

"The adults are very knowledgeable, and the students are very impressed."

What can you do if you can mobilize tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, there are more than 100,000 Jizhen nearby, more than 100,000 in Beijing, nearly 100,000 in Xuanfu nearby, and more than 100,000 in Liaozhen, not to mention that there are soldiers and horses in Shandong and Henan.

***********

On the fifth day of the ninth month, the king of Tianjin Jinyi Wei Qianhu was on the emperor of heaven, saying that he could not be responsible for many affairs, and he was afraid that he would be disappointed in the grace of the saint, so he asked His Majesty to send a capable person to be responsible.

There is also a secret letter, stating that in addition to its own establishment, there is also a soldier and horse that His Majesty promised to train when he left Beijing, and now there are 3,000 people, and there are soldiers and horses, so it should be in accordance with the regulations of the imperial court, and a supervisor should be sent to monitor it.

Ping An money, canal taxation, Haihe tariff, these three places, are all set up to raise gold and silver, although the imperial court dialed back a lot of money, but a large amount of money in and out, is also sensitive, please also ask the palace to send someone to check and count.

***********

"Wang Tong, this person, I can figure things out."

After this recital was delivered to the Beijing Division, the recitals of the recital and the secret recital were first sent to the master of ceremonies according to the rules, and the local music sent to the Beijing Division, in the order of the speed and slowness, Wang Tong was very high, and the celebrant and the cabinet leaders did not think that there was anything important in Tianjin, it was nothing more than that Wang Tong was the first trusted courtier of the Wanli Emperor.

The fold was delivered, and even the eunuch Zhang Cheng didn't even look at it, so he first sent it to the desk of the eunuch Feng Bao, who was the eunuch of the palm seal of the celebrant and the eunuch Feng Bao, looked at it a few times, and gave this evaluation with a smile.

After laughing, Feng Bao re-read it carefully, picked up the red pen and asked for annotations on it, thought about it or put it down, and said loudly:

"Grandpa Zhang, come here!"

The court meeting has been dispersed, and this kind of recital is directly presented to the inner court, and the people in the outer court do not know, and everyone in the ceremonial supervisor is in a hurry to work.

Hearing Feng Bao's call, Zhang Cheng hurriedly walked in, Feng Bao handed over the fold in his hand, and said with a smile:

"Wang Tong, this kid thinks about things properly, he has caught too many over there, and it doesn't follow the rules, Gonggong Zhang will choose a few people in the palace who can be used and send them over!"

Feng Bao has monopoly power in the inner court, but he also knows that Zhang Cheng, the second person in the inner court, has some space to accompany the current emperor, and this Wang Tong is a person directly under Wanli and Zhang Cheng, so he will be arranged by Zhang Cheng.

What's more, two million taels of gold and silver, the household department is only responsible for one million taels, and the other one million taels are for Wang Tong to operate and raise, which is also for the good things in the palace, Feng Bao's impression of Wang Tong is not bad.

Coming out of the celebrant supervisor, Zhang Cheng was slightly angry in his heart, thinking that Wang Tong had the power to perform secret letters, but he still used this kind of music and secret music that everyone can see, isn't this centrifugation?

However, characters like him quickly figured out the joint, and the effect that Wang Tong wanted was to know as many people as possible, so that everyone would know his actions, and know that although Wang Tong of Tianjin Jinyi Wei Qianhu had great power and was favored, he could know the scale of advance and retreat, and he had no unpredictable ambitions.

*********

"It's just thousands of soldiers, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in and out, what did Wang Tong do so carefully, I asked him to go there on an errand, I can be trusted, Zhang Banban, write a letter to Wang Tong, let him do it boldly with peace of mind, don't think about these things."

Seeing Wang Tong's twists and turns, Emperor Wanli was very unhappy, in his thoughts, this was completely superfluous.

Now the power in the palace is in the hands of Feng Bao, the power outside the palace is in the hands of Zhang Juzheng, speaking counts, and it is the Empress Dowager Cisheng Li who adjudicates all sides.

Seeing that Wang Tong punched and kicked down so many power institutions, but suddenly a letter came, saying that he wanted to let go, and he couldn't manage so many positions alone, the little emperor was immediately anxious.

Whoever is sent to Wanli Emperor Yanjing is not reconciled, inside and outside the palace is either Feng Bao's person or Zhang Juzheng's person, and sending one is to share his own power.

"Long live the lord, Wang Tong is doing this is an old move, so much power is concentrated in the hands of one person, sooner or later it will be used by the courtiers and officials to talk about things, now he asks for a division of power, and all the appointments can be what the lord wants, if you wait for the foreign dynasty to propose this, I am afraid that I will not be able to help the lord of long live at that time......"

Emperor Wanli straightened up and leaned back on the back of his chair in a gloomy manner. Zhang Cheng said in his heart, 'Still a child who can't hold his breath', then took two steps forward and said with a smile:

"Long live the lord, send someone to go, anyway, there are also caring people in Tianjin now."

Emperor Wanli sat up straight again, and Zhang Cheng said leisurely:

"Fire Organ Workshop, let the Ren Yuan of the Ministry of Industry be the head, Wang Tong Inspector monitors, the thousands of soldiers and horses, let Cai Nan over there be a supervisor, as for the income and expenditure, let Wang Tong choose an errand to do a revenue and expenditure office, and report the candidate Long Live the Lord to be approved."

This arrangement is equivalent to the existing structure of Fudo Wangtong, but it has changed its name, and Emperor Wanli laughed after a little pondering.

Empress Dowager Cisheng Li and Empress Dowager Rensheng Chen knew that the news was not much later than Emperor Wanli, and the palace maid who was serving her privately said that Empress Dowager Chen saw this and said, "It's a child who is a duty, and he knows whose family is in the world", and Empress Dowager Li also smiled and nodded in agreement.

Many incense people have some savings in their hands, and when the bow incense is prosperous, they all think that their good words can last for thousands of years.

Now he is suddenly defeated, and he is unwilling to do the cheap work, he is idle at home a lot, and he has two spare money, and he is idle at home, so he naturally can't stay, and every day is nothing more than drinking and gambling money.

Ma Dafu, who lived in the east gate of Tianjin, ignored his mother-in-law's crying and scolding at night, and went to a nearby dice shop with the only two taels of silver left in the house.
