When the military discussion was before dark, Yang Jin and Ma Yong were all cautious, and the businessmen who were invited at dinner were even more respectful. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

If Wang Tong didn't mention the matter of the fields, they didn't dare to speak, and the news that Gu Zibin brought back to them in the afternoon scared these people half to death.

But I didn't expect Wang Tong to present these fields to today, and everyone's behavior of taking advantage of them has become a land fight with the emperor, which is really thinking that he will live a long life.

The merchants who can be qualified to come to this naturalized city have some net worth, and those who can drink and feast with Wang Tong are even more wealthy businessmen, these people are conceited and shrewd, but they dare not make any mystery in front of Wang Tong, a young Qincha, because they are not considered official positions and merits, even if they compare family business and business, Sanjiang Commercial Bank is also a behemoth.

Regardless of whether Wang Tong personally ran it, the existence of such a behemoth is enough to make everyone look up in fear.

But when they came to this camp, the wine was transported from Xuanfu and the Liu family sorghum was roasted, the dish was roast sheep, and Wang Tong was smiling, and everyone finally relaxed.

After everyone relaxed, there was a lot more talk, and they were invited to have a banquet because they said they were buying land, and the topic was always inseparable from this.

The businessmen said very carefully, many people pragmatically asked how to arrange the production of the field, listening to Wang Tong's meaning, the field of the naturalized city may become public land, that is to say, in addition to leaving the production for the farmers' own use, the rest of the rest of the hand to the imperial court, there is no waterway here, and it is far away from the Jingshi Road, the transportation of grain and grass is not too realistic, it is estimated that it will be sold on the spot, converted into silver taels.

Think about how much fertile land there is, the purchase and sale of production must be a huge number, to be able to do a good job in this business, there is also a large amount of money profits flowing in it, everyone is interested in this.

But all the businessmen who came here didn't expect that after Wang Tong promised to give everyone preferential treatment in the production of the field, he took the initiative to mention the matter of the field.

"There is also a vast field that can be obtained without silver", this sentence made the breath of the merchants present stop, "no silver" and "vast field" Isn't this the gold and silver sea that can be obtained at will, listening to what Lord Wang said, this field is probably not inferior to the surroundings of Guihua City.

After Wang Tong finished speaking, he sold it and took a sip of the wine in the glass, there are still quite a lot of treasures in the palace of Naturalization City, and the wine from the Western Regions is very suitable for Wang Tong's taste, but it is not how Wang Tong knows how to taste wine, it is just sweeter.

The merchants, who had been terrified and humble, couldn't sit still, and a merchant looked left and right, swallowed and spitted at the mouth, stood up and clenched his fists, and said: "The grass people are presumptuous, may I ask the commander, what do you say about this vast field, the Tartars have cultivated thousands of hectares of fertile land in this naturalized city, but everywhere else is just grassland, so there is such a place."

Wang Tong sat on the main seat, facing south and facing north, he gestured to the west, and said with a smile: "There are many such lands, and the land of Hetao is not where the fertile land is?" ”

When the Yellow River flows through Shaanxi and the grassland boundary, it becomes a few words, in the place where the river twists and turns, it is called the Hetao, which is not necessarily the most abundant place for aquatic grass on the grassland, but it is the place where the aquatic grass is relatively good and large, from the Qin period to the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, it has been rotating in the hands of the Han people and nomads.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Shaanxi Provincial Envoy was under the jurisdiction of the Governor, but it was later occupied by the Tatars, and now it is under the control of the Ministry of Altan.

Wang Tong said that the land of the Hetao is here, in the era when there is no chemical fertilizer and various mechanical means, the water source is an important criterion for the quality of the field, the Hetao area, because of the topographical relationship between several plateaus and mountains, the river level is slow, and it has great benefits for irrigation and the lives of the surrounding residents, there is a saying, called "the Yellow River is harmful, only a set of profits", which is the great role of the Yellow River in the Hetao.

Since the Han Dynasty, the Hetao has been known as a paradise outside the Saiwai, and agriculture is quite good, but this is in the hands of the Han people, and if it is controlled by nomads, then it is pastures and pastures.

Shanxi businessmen go south and north, the terrain and landform is also very understanding, Wang Tong said this, the businessmen also understand, Wang Tong said is the Hetao, as soon as it is the Hetao, the businessmen are immediately deflated a lot, some people muttered during the banquet: "The Hetao is the land where the Tartars are entrenched, how can we tolerate the past"

"The Altan army in Guihua City has been defeated so much, what strength can there be on the other side of the Hetao?"

Wang Tong asked with a smile, everyone was stunned, and immediately came back to their senses, it is true, after the Ministry of Answers dominated the grassland, they did not put much strength in the Hetao, but just let the nomadic tribes there hand in and undertake military service, after the battle of Naturalization City, the remnants of the Department of Answers could not gather much strength at all, and it should not be a big problem for a small group of horse thieves and a small group of herdsmen cavalry, with carts, firearms and enough guards.

Hearing Wang Tong's answer, the atmosphere was more relaxed, and some people said quite worriedly: "There is no water conservancy in the land of Hetao, what about the fields?" ”

There is no need for Wang Tong to speak, someone has already answered him: "There is no water conservancy, you can repair it yourself, there are so many good things in the world, and the good land with complete water conservancy is in Guihua City, and the fields over there naturally have to be prepared by ourselves." ”

There was a vague resentment in the words, but Wang Tong replied with a smile: "Water conservancy ditches, in fact, are not as difficult as you think, I heard people who have been to cross the river loop say that the places suitable for making fields over there have the remnants of water conservancy ditches in ancient times, and it is much easier to repair them according to these." ”

The so-called water conservancy ditch is nothing more than digging a ditch and digging a pool, earthwork is a trouble, and site selection is also a trouble, but with these predecessors, the work can be much simpler and simpler.

Everyone nodded slightly, thinking in their hearts, whether it was appropriate to go over there or not, whether there was any profit to be made, but everyone was thinking about it in all aspects, and someone got up and clenched his fists and said: "Dashuai, the places suitable for farming in the Hetao are all plains and grasslands, and there is no shelter in such places, and the Tartar cavalry is roaring, and the farmers who are cultivating there will definitely be killed by them. ”

The questions are expected, this person doesn't ask, Wang Tong also has to find a time to say this, he said with a smile: "Sell everyone carts and firearms, just to let everyone travel on the grassland, since you point out this road, then there is naturally a way for you to survive, you don't have to think too much, Sanjiang Commercial Bank, Jinhe Commercial Bank and Tonghai Commercial Bank, these firms, will do a first in the Hetao, and see if you can do it when the time comes." ”

Since Wang Tong has considered all aspects so completely, the businessmen are also convinced, and more importantly, Lord Qincha asked several firms that were close to him to go, whether this is to set an example for everyone, or is there really unlimited interests over there, and these firms should take the first step.

To be placed before the battle of Guihua City, what Sanjiang Commercial Bank and other commercial houses did in the eyes of merchants in Shanxi Province are just official and businessmen, it doesn't matter if they make money or lose money, they are just busy with official affairs for the imperial court.

Think about the business of this Sanjiang Commercial Bank in Tianjinwei, in Zhili, in Xuanfu and Jizhen, and there are many gold mountains and silver seas everywhere to make money, when did it lose money.

As soon as these examples are taken together, everyone has an opinion in their hearts that Sanjiang Commercial Bank must not do any loss-making business, since they are interested in Hetao, it must be profitable over there.

This meal was eaten happily, although the Liu family's sorghum roast is a famous wine, but the businessmen are controlling to drink less, because there are too many things to be said tonight that need to be digested and discussed with others.

***************

On the twelfth day of February, it was snowing heavily in the Naturalization City, but the messenger also rushed to the Naturalization City.

Although Wang Tong and the others did not know the attitude of the court, they saw that the messenger who came to deliver the decree was Meng Duo, who presided over the Public Security Department on behalf of Zou Yi, everyone was relieved, and sending such a familiar face to deliver the decree also represented an attitude of the Son of Heaven.

For Wang Tong's great victory in suppressing bandits, there are meanings of consolation and praise in the will, which says, "There are thousands of clues, and Wang Tong is still ordered to naturalize and Datong Governor, and still control the commander of Datong soldiers and horses and Jizhen to suppress thieves and horses, act cheaply, and wait for the overall situation to be stable and everything is straightened out, and then reward and praise"

Although the word "still" is used, the content of the will is quite interesting, the naturalization of the land is not the territory of the Ming Dynasty, at this time it is justifiably within the jurisdiction of Wang Tong, in the past, it was just the soldiers and horses in charge of Datong Town to suppress thieves, but now it is Datong soldiers and horses are all under his dispatch.

In a sense, now from Naturalization City to Datong Town, it is vaguely the regulation of a larger border town, and all affairs are under the control of Wang Tong, and it is clear in the will that Wang Tong must stabilize this place, and the attitude of the imperial court does not say that there is any problem with the procedures of Wang Tong's army, but has the meaning of eating here.

But this is also normal, now the Naturalization City is a delicacy that has been bitten in the mouth, who wants to spit it out again.

"The princes of the DPRK and the central government did not attack Wang for acting arrogantly and corrupting the national body, Wang is really unexpected!"

Wang Tong dared to say this, but Meng Duo didn't dare to take it, but said with a smile: "Lord Wang said that he was joking, but under this will, it did take a lot of trouble, and the matter of the adult's attack on Guihua City did set off an uproar in the capital!" ”
