The Franco-merchant Abagon knew that he had come to Tianjin, but he did not expect it so quickly, he brought Persian blankets and woolen fabrics, which were not transported to the shop on the first day of unloading, and were eaten directly by several shops, and the price was even higher than he expected. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

And the gold and silver utensils and jewels that he was going to sell in the store for a long time were only sold for two days, he was a merchant, and the others were also merchants.

The easternmost location in the Haihe business district is the shop of this merchant Abagun, which is not a good location, and there is really no place for him in the business district.

Now there is a counter in the middle of the store, and a few Cantonese shopkeepers and guys brought from Macau are idle there, gathering to drink tea and chat, and there is no goods at all.

It is said that this scene should be considered a dilapidated appearance, but the round Abagun walked around the store, overjoyed, all the goods were sold in three days, and the price was much higher than expected, this time when he left, he bought on the spot and sold everywhere, not to mention the profit.

Tianjin Wei is a gold mine, God gave it to himself first, so if it goes on, there will definitely be more people in Macao and Nanyang who know the news, and there will be more and more merchants coming to trade, and they will take this opportunity to go a few more times, and they will definitely be able to make more money.

While pondering, the store was crowded, and Abagun hurriedly smiled with a smile on his face, and stepped forward apologetically and said:

"This guest officer, the goods in the small shop are all sold out, what do you need to know, it will arrive in a month or two months!"

Today's Abagun also wears a cardigan coat and a small hat, if it weren't for the appearance of this white man, the official accent is quite weird, and there is no difference from the businessman of the Ming Dynasty.

"Boss Ah is really a noble man who forgets things, my brother came to buy jewelry yesterday."

The man who came said with a smile, and when Abagun saw it, he also smiled with his fists, shook his head and said:

"Brother has always been a little confused when he recognizes people, and he laughs, I don't know what Brother Zhao has to say!"

Boss Zhao of this jewelry store waved his hand, which was also very casual, and said with a smile:

"What do you have to see, I bought what I wanted to buy yesterday, and I made an appointment with Boss A yesterday if I didn't buy it, and I just came to hang out today."

"Don't stay still, make tea, the newcomer has no rules, Brother Zhao is not strange."

"By the way, Boss Ah heard about an incident, Lord Wang was practicing in the north of the city yesterday, accidentally fell off his horse, was seriously injured, and couldn't move, Lang Zhong said, first rested in bed and couldn't move, so he set up an official office in the military camp outside the city, and the people who were on errands first went there to obey orders."

"Oh? Lord Wang is so seriously injured, do we want to back up and pay a visit to visit!! ”

Abagun has indeed been in Daming for a long time, and the rules of this etiquette are all proficient, and the boss Zhao of the jewelry store smiled and waved his hand and said:

"Tianjin Wei doesn't have this rule here, if you give a gift to the door, maybe Lord Wang will still be hot, and everyone will jointly send someone in to condole."

After a few small talks, this Boss Zhao said goodbye, Abagon had something to worry about, his five boats were still buckled on the edge of the Haihe River, and he also asked to see Wang Tong, let the boat out as soon as possible, go back early, and traffic goods over earlier.

Just about to greet him, but now the person who came to the door was not a merchant, but a soldier wearing Wang Tong's personal guard uniform, and after nodding at the door, he said solemnly:

"Abagon, my lord is invited!!"

The man in front said that there was no need to go to see it, but someone on the back foot came to summon the door, and Abagun was also a little frightened, thinking that he could not go to the door to see the patient, and he could not go to the door empty-handed.

There was no goods in his hand, so Abagong simply bought a lot of money on the street, bought a gift of 1,000 taels of silver, prepared a red envelope of 2,000 taels, and got a four-wheeled carriage and pulled it over.

Abagun was originally a little painful about spending so much silver, but he didn't expect that when he was buying, the merchants of Tianjin Wei were full of envy when they heard this, and then they knew how rare this opportunity was for their family.

When it was almost dark, Wang Tong's own soldiers came to lead him and took him to the military camp in the north of the city.

In the military camp in the north of the city, there was a mansion specially prepared for Wang Tong, and the gifts were directly blocked outside the barracks, and some soldiers took Abagon all the way in.

When I walked to the door, I heard Wang Tong's voice inside, "The tragedy of Nameless Bai, as well as the case of this old man who died drunk on the street, there must be something strange in it, maybe the matter we have been investigating is here, reply to the three of them in the Department of Public Security, and let them investigate carefully in several places where Nameless Bai is, if there is trouble in the palace, the official will write to Gonggong Zhang, and the meeting will play Long Live Lord......"

"My lord, Abagun has brought it!"

"Please come in!!"

When Abagun entered the room, he thought he would see the patient lying on the bed, and he had prepared a lot of words of courteous greetings, but he did not expect that when he entered the door, he would see no different from the last time he saw him.

Wang Tong was surrounded by civil and military officials, one by one he was assigned, one by one he nodded and left, and when he saw Abagun coming in, Wang Tong stood up and waved his hand, and said with a smile:

"Cai Jianjun is tired to stay, Tan will stay, and everyone else will go down!"

Everyone bowed down to receive the order, but Abagon rubbed his eyes there, didn't he say that his leg was seriously injured and he couldn't move, why did Wang Tong stand up.

Wang Tong took two steps forward, no different from ordinary people, and said with a smile:

"During this time, people from all over Tianjin Wei will not see this official, so just find a reason to be external, Abagon, please take a seat!"

It was rare to see Wang Tong so polite, Abagun was quite flattered, and hurriedly thanked him and sat down, Wang Tong asked directly:

"How much silver can you earn on the return journey with the fleet in fifteen days?"

"Fifteen days of sailing, can't go anywhere, the villain's ship is a lot of Daming ports are not able to go, for the villain, fifteen days can not earn silver, if you can go to other ports, fifteen days to earn five thousand taels to eight thousand taels is still available."

Although Abagun was very cunning, he did not dare to hide anything in business, he knew that there were many people who knew how to do it on Wang Tong's side, and many of them were even more knowledgeable than him.

"Give you 15,000 taels, use your ship for more than 20 days, if there is any damage to the ship, it will be compensated by this official, what do you think?"

"It's all at your command!"

Abagun didn't hesitate, just replied simply, the other party smiled and said that if you don't want to give the silver, the other party will use it the same, and don't think about it if it's cheap.

Wang Tong nodded with a smile, and said again:

"Wait for someone to lead you, go and talk to your crew, let them be obedient, or else the ship will sail to sea, and then you will kill people."

Wang Tong's tone was kind, but Abagon couldn't help but shudder, quickly knelt down, and said:

"Please rest assured, the villain must say something, and those crew members are also sensible."

"Wait for the tent to pay you five thousand taels first, and pull it back in a carriage!"

The silver is the most real, and Abagun suddenly smiled.

Wang Tong, the battalion officer of the Huwei Battalion of the forbidden army and the Qianhu of Jinyi Wei stationed in Tianjin, was injured, and Tianjin Wei was condoled everywhere and did not mention it, but the garrison was a little stricter.

There are security guards patrolling all over the business district every day, and there can be a feast in the business district at night, but outside the business area there is a curfew, in order to prevent pirates from taking advantage of the attack, the Haihe River and the seaside area are especially heavily guarded, after dark, cavalry patrols, if any loiterers are caught, they will be severely punished.

Wang Tong's rules everyone has to listen, there is nothing wrong with listening, if you don't listen, you will be unlucky, this understanding, Tianjin Wei local people understand very well, since the curfew, no one will go out at that time, even if there are people with ulterior motives who want to act, but because of this situation will become conspicuous, they do not dare to move.

Therefore, from May 29 to the beginning of June, the soldiers and supplies took boats from the canal to the Haihe River, where they boarded the Francomotor boats.

On the fifth day of the first month of June, the merchant Abagon embarked on the return journey, these days, Tianjin Wei merchants have seen Abagon everywhere to purchase, with a large car to transport to their own ship, how to count it is full, but because there is no way to see it at night, I don't know that it is loaded during the day, and these goods are unloaded at night.

It is said that he spent a lot of money to buy off the steward around Wang Tong, and asked him to bring back the Flying Deer, and also brought two Daguang ships from the south to go together, which is also a habit, the sea fleet, if there is only one ship running at sea, will generally follow the fleet of the Fanren, asking for peace.

One of these two ships is Liang Daocheng, who was robbed by pirates some time ago, this Liang Daocheng suffered a disaster, but it was a blessing in disguise, and was compensated tens of thousands of taels of silver by the insurance bank, this time it was full of goods, according to everyone's estimates, this Liang Daocheng got the silver paid, ran back, this trip was calculated, and he made thousands of taels if he didn't do well.

The news that Liang Daocheng has been paid has spread, and now the people who come to Tianjin Wei Run, who do not take the initiative to go to the insurance bank to report, take out insurance.

gave Baoyin, although it will make less money, although the rules are strict, it may not be able to take advantage of the loopholes like Liang Daocheng, but after taking insurance, this boat ran back, but there was no need to worry about being robbed by pirates, and losing all his money.

"It's considered to be out to sea, and it's really breathless in this cabin."

At the door of the cabin, Abagon bowed down to greet him, Wang Tong walked up to the deck with a smile, and Abagon said with a smile on the side:

"Your Excellency, you've worked hard."

Wang Tong stretched out on the deck, shook his head and said with a smile:

"What's the hard work, it's just a boat to kill a thief."
