These maritime merchants thought that their families were suddenly encircled here by Tianjin Jinyiwei, and what was waiting was to bankrupt their families, or even their surnames were not guaranteed.

But I didn't expect this young thousand households to give them a golden strip, the south goods to the north is a huge profit, the north goods to the south is the same, Cao Yun entrainment has such a huge profit, not to mention the freight is cheaper, the volume of shipping is more huge.

After being shocked, frightened, and surprised, everyone became extremely anxious, and Wang Tong didn't care about the emotional changes below, just waited there.

But this impatient mood was unexpected, and he couldn't help but ask out loud:

"Why are you impatient?"

Asked by Wang Tong, the first few boat bosses smiled awkwardly, and one person stepped forward and said:

"The big man is so kind, the villains just want to go back by boat as soon as possible, and pull a few more ships of goods to sell here."

One of the men on the side shouted boldly; "Big lord, go to the small ones to check on the boat, the little ones are willing to pay taxes and fines!"

Even according to Wang Tongding's tax rate, the fine, now each ship has a large amount of profit left, and the brain is clear to figure out, as soon as this rule is opened, it means that Tianjin will become a commercial port, and there will definitely be a large number of goods pouring in, and the price of southern goods will definitely be greatly reduced, and the money will be less at that time.

The sooner you run a few times, the higher the profit you will make, and everyone is eager to pay the silver at this time, hurry back and load a few more ships of goods back.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if these thousand adults cheat and pay the taxes and fines, they can leave with the ship and goods and leave with their whole body.

Hearing this, Wang Tong was stunned, then laughed, waved his hand and said:

"Start checking and settling accounts now, and advise everyone, don't want to do anything secretly, it will be trouble for you and me, and it will be even worse for you!"

After speaking, several people behind him stood up and said loudly:

"Everybody come forward and line up, ship by boat."

In Gu Zibin and Zhang Chunde's warehouse, the shopkeepers are here, these people are not only proficient in arithmetic, but also familiar with the prices on the market.

In addition to these people, there are also several Jinyi guards brought by Jingshi, who do not participate in the inventory, but just follow and monitor to avoid any greed and fraud.

The sailors and shipwrights of two of the three ships that escaped first were also given a chance to atone for their crimes, that is, to follow the team to check the goods, they ran the ship at sea all the year round, familiar with the structure of the cabin, familiar with the living habits of the crew and sailors, if there is any private entrainment, they may be able to hide from Wang Tong's people, but they may not be able to hide from them.

What's more, Wang Tong also said:

"If you can find out what you have hidden, you will not only be guilty of sin, but you will be rewarded with 10% of your wealth."

The wealth is moving, and everyone came out to risk death to run the boat just to make money, and when they heard that there was such a good thing, the sailors who were originally depressed were all in good spirits.

Several guards behind Wang Tong gave each other a thumbs up and whispered:

"Our adults are really good, this strategy of fighting poison with poison is really a clever plan!!"

The banks of the Haihe River were no longer so noisy and chaotic, and the forts along the river were gradually taking on the appearance of platforms made of granite and earth, and an earthen ram enclosed by a fence connected with wooden piles.

The artillery was placed on the platform, and the artillery and the soldiers guarding the battery were stationed in the earthen ramparts, and the boats on the river were constantly pulling down all kinds of materials from upstream.

The work of the soldiers now is to dig trenches around the perimeter of the fence and, under the guidance of some experienced craftsmen, to build simple docking places along the river.

The Haihe private port has been done for decades, but almost nothing has been done for the infrastructure, and it is not as much as Wang Tong has led the brocade guards to do now.

The inspection team had already boarded the ship, and the two businessmen under Wang Tong's protection knew what the incident meant and what it meant to them.

Gu Zibin and Zhang Chunde not only sent their capable men and account office, but they also pushed away their busy business and rushed here.

Hearing the amount of tax drawn by Wang Tong, both of them were a little unimpressed, and when everyone was busy, Gu Zibin stepped forward and whispered:

"My lord, the value of the draw is two cents, the south freight to this side, the profit is at least eight points, if the goods from the north are transported back, this round trip is more than double the profit, the adults are fair, and they are allowed to do a public office, even if they draw a four points, they are willing to pay."

Zhang Chunde nodded again and again, and said in a low voice:

"The adults don't know, the adults come to collect these silver, they look at the loss, in fact, they make a lot of money, they come to the sea and the river, the bow incense takes a sum, the father-in-law takes a penny, and all the gods and goddesses on the sea also have to take a penny, and this deduction is more than four points."

Wang Tong smiled, looked at the busy crowd and said:

"The value of the goods is taxed, these sea ships run a few times, people all over the world know, there are eighths of the profit, who doesn't want to come and earn, this sea ship comes fast, loads more, a large number of southern goods come to the north, the price will definitely fall, the value of the goods has fallen, the tax also falls, but there are more ships to come, and there are more of them, if they are pumped more, the ships are pondering other crooked ways, who will come here."

Gu Zibin and Zhang Chunde glanced at each other, Gu Zibin's business was big, and he understood the truth of Wang Tong quickly, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but slap his head and admire.

Wang Tong glanced back at him, took the horsewhip in his hand and raised it at the bank of the Haihe River, and said with a smile:

"Ships are coming, goods are coming, people are coming, do you think Tianjin will be what it is today in the future, and what you will get when the time comes!?"

After saying this, the two businessmen were stunned, and then their eyes widened, and they couldn't say a word, they were already stunned by the prospect described by Wang Tong.

While speaking, there was another horse running towards this side in the distance, and the cavalry who came this time was much more embarrassed than the last time, and his face was a little panicked.

"Lord Wang, Li Dameng, the general guarding Tianjin, is leading the people and the people led by the horse to confront each other, and they asked us to release them!"

"What bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods have jumped out!"

Wang Tong sneered, and then asked:

"Did this Counselor Li rush in?"

"No, the horse commander led the people and they resisted, and they were helpless, and now the two sides are facing each other."

Wang Tong nodded, turned around and went to the carriage not far away, and said to Yu Dayou, who was sitting in the carriage:

"Lord Yu, the general guarding Tianjin is going to hinder me from taking people here, I want to take two battalions away, what is the obstacle on the Haihe side!?"

"What can you do to hinder, the forts are all repaired, you just go, the old man will keep an eye on this side for you!!"

Yu Dayou replied loudly, Wang Tong clasped his fists and nodded, turned around and got on the horse, and shouted loudly:

"The fourth battalion, the fifth battalion follow me, here is presided over by Master Yu and Tan Gong Tan Huo, and the rest of the horse team and two battalions will go with the officer!!"

The following suddenly received the order, there are a lot of soldiers who are on duty on the bank of the river to run towards Wang Tong's side to line up, there are more and more people around to see the excitement, but no one dares to get too close, when the city bombards the Jin and the warehouse, the idlers who are watching the excitement around are arrested and put into the prison.

The personnel were quickly assembled, and Li Hutou also rode to Wang Tong's side with a weapon, and Wang Tong shouted:

"Today we took the bank of the sea and the river, and now someone is looking for trouble with us, what should we do!?"

A series of smooth actions made the morale of the soldiers of the Jinyi Guard extremely high, and when they heard this question, they raised their weapons and shouted in unison:

"Defeat him, defeat him!!"

Wang Tong nodded with satisfaction, turned the horse's head, waved the horsewhip downward, and the team immediately began to act, and when Wang Tong was about to leave here, he heard someone shouting behind him:

"The value of the goods of a certain ship together with the gold and silver it carried is a total of 20,000 taels, and the tax penalty is a total of 5,000 taels of silver!!"

The first sea trade tax silver at the Tianjin port was received, and a smile appeared on Wang Tong's face, speeding up the speed of his mount under his crotch.

"Commander Ma, you young hero, you have great prospects in the future, don't follow that Wang Tong to mess around, this Father-in-law Lu is the person sent by the royal superintendent, the person who listens to the errand in front of Feng Bao Feng Gonggong, that is, the person in front of His Majesty the Emperor, this firearms workshop is also the important place of my Ji Town, you lead the troops to surround here, it is no different from rebellion, you withdraw the people and horses now, we have everything to say, if it goes on like this, when the soldiers arrive, it will be a great crime to exterminate the nine clans!" ”

Outside the firearms workshop outside the city, a large number of officers and soldiers lined up layer by layer, making the circle impassable, but outside the door of the firearms workshop, it was a horse team led by Ma Sanbiao, and inside the firearms workshop, there were brocade guards guarding the walls and various key places.

At first glance, it seemed that the officers and soldiers of Jizhen were going to attack the firearms workshop, and Ma Sanbiao led the people to guard the guards, and a general of a thousand uniforms rode on a horse and shouted loudly.

Ma Sanbiao listened to the irritability, spat on the ground, raised his arm and swung it a few times, and then swung forward twice, he directly drove the horse to stride forward, and the cavalry behind him followed the change of formation, with Ma Sanbiao as the apex, forming a triangle, which was the cavalry's charging formation.

The shouting Mr. Qian saw it, and hurriedly turned his horse and ran back to his main formation.

In the ranks of officers and soldiers, General Li Dameng looked at the opposite side with a gloomy expression, and a garrison on the side gritted his teeth and said:

"My lord, there are more than 3,000 of us, and they are only a few hundred, and they are the ones who beat the damn!"

When General Li heard this, he was furious, and waved the horsewhip in his hand, and whipped it in the face of the guard, and scolded:

"Hit your mother!! So many foot soldiers, more than 100 horses, were rushed by the horse team, how can you resist!! ”
