"The Tianjin Bingbei Dao Yamen here transfers and distributes military supplies to Jizhen, and also leads the military salaries of all the military yamen on the side of Tianjin Sanwei, and the salaries and silver of Jinyiwei are also issued there."

On the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, when he came out of the Qianhu Yamen of Jinyi Wei in Tianjin, Wang Tong let his men out and inquired about the news in the neighborhoods of the market, and what he wanted to know was not a secret, so the news was soon gathered.

Wang Tong didn't know anything about everything in Tianjin, and looking at this situation, it was not clear that the Jingshi side didn't know the situation here.

"Bingbei Dao Panda was originally a member of the military department, and it is said that he had a conflict with a nobleman in the Jingshi, so he was demoted to this side."

The military preparation road is not full-time, but it is generally about three grades, and it is only seven products in the matter, but in the Beijing division to do the matter, the Qing is extremely noble, and the future is immeasurable.

"After Panda came to Tianjin, he began to find trouble with Jinyiwei, this matter is known to everyone, otherwise his subordinates would not have been able to find out in the teahouse."

"The little ones are familiar with each other near Tianjin, and they were all on errand and food under Lord Tan at that time, according to them, this Panda is also related in the Beijing Division, Wang Damin wrote a lot of secret letters to tell this Panda, but they were all suppressed, and some letters were even sent to Panda and asked him to dispose of it himself."

"Originally, the Jinyi guards here in Tianjin were paid eight months a year, plus some other extra money, and they were okay, but as soon as this military preparation came, the military salary was less, and all extra money was also forbidden to them, so it was sad day by day."

“…… The little one also heard that this Panda has a very good reputation in Hejian Mansion and Jizhen Town, and he is known as a Qing official, and he is not afraid of the imperial court eagle dog or something......"

"Really?"

"What Dr. Tea said is interesting, the city is dilapidated inside and outside the city, but this most generous and largest mansion is no worse than that of Jingshi, one is Pan Daren's, and the other is Wan Gonggong's, the soldier has been in Tianjin for three years, and the beautiful concubine has been stored in seven rooms, and the romance is tight."

"Who is Grandpa Wan?"

"This Tianjin Sanwei is the hub of Caoyun, and it is an important place to supply grain and grass to Jizhen Town, and last year it added the responsibility of transit to Liao Town, and it is also a first-class town, according to the rules, the imperial court must arrange a lieutenant to guard the town, and the lieutenant guard here is a young eunuch of the imperial horse supervisor, called ten thousand rice."

A bowl of japonica rice porridge, a few buns, and a plate of pickles, this is Wang Tong's breakfast, Tan Jiang, Ma Sanbiao and others are reporting to Wang Tong what they heard yesterday.

Wang Tong asked while eating, and gradually had some concepts in his mind, at this time, the Qiao Da from the blacksmith workshop came in and said politely:

"The lord told everyone yesterday to inquire about the city officials and the Jinyi Guard, and the little one went to ask about the price of iron and coal here, and talked about it in the shop, and also knew something."

Wang Tong took a sip of porridge and nodded to signal this Qiao Da to continue, Qiao Da continued:

"But it also happened that there was a soldier of the Jinyi Guard in the blacksmith shop to help, saying that everyone was doing this in peacetime, and many people lost their duties as the Jinyi Guard and went home to farm, and those who stayed in the city were natives, some of them took care of the homes of large families, some did some small business, and some learned the craft, and paid ten cents a month to their own 100 households, and it was okay if they were brave enough not to pay......

After rewarding this hearty Qiao Da, he sent it out, several people in the room looked at each other, and Zhang Shiqiang said in a low voice:

"I thought that on the side of Jingshi South Street, it would be miserable to be sent to prepare and eat bran vegetables, but I didn't expect this Tianjin Wei person to reach such a point."

Wang Tong turned his head and asked Tan Bing:

"You walked around these inns outside the city yesterday afternoon, did you ask anything?"

"Said that Panda didn't come, the Jinyi guards here are still quite domineering, but they are also rampage, just eat for nothing, take for nothing, in the past few years, as long as there is something, you have to judge the Jinyi Wei side wrong, not only beat, but also heavy punishment, there are really a few times that the Jinyi Wei is reasonable, but it was still cleaned up, and the result is that the Jinyi Wei is very honest on the street, some people are very poor, so they come to cheat and cheat, and they run away without giving money, and the store is not ......"

"The son of Lao Dong in the east of the city has been in Shandong for almost ten years, and the year before last he took Lao Dong over, it is said that the big mansion, hundreds of servants, and inexhaustible money for several lifetimes, this is in Shandong when the punishment of thousands of households, why is Tianjin so miserable, and the face of our Jinyi pro-army is lost."

Sun Dahai said hatefully on the side, Wang Tong shook his head with a smile, and said to General Tan:

"Just according to last night's arrangement, it's all set up before lunch."

Although the Xingcai Inn is not a small place, it is not enough to hold a banquet of more than 200 people at once, but fortunately, Wang Tong is not particular about it, so he also put a table in the big courtyard, although the weather is cold, put a large charcoal brazier on the table and table time, and spend more money on firewood and coal.

It is very troublesome to supply Wang Tong with such a large group of people in the inn, and it is suddenly necessary to hold such a big banquet, and it is close to the New Year's Festival, and it is necessary to transfer wine and meat from other inns in the city and outside.

Fortunately, Wang Tong didn't embarrass the store this time, and he paid the money first.

At noon, there were gradually more people, of course, they were all soldiers of this Tianjin Jinyi Wei Qianhu, probably knowing that the new official was in office, everyone tried their best to wear the flying fish suit.

But this effect really makes people frown, it doesn't matter if the clothes are patched, but there is no neat appearance, and what is even more unbearable is the look on their faces, without a trace of the martial artist temperament with a sword and a sword.

Those who know know that this is the Jinyi Wei Qianhu to entertain the soldiers below, and those who don't know think that it is the Xingcai Inn to open a porridge shed to help the homeless.

Wang Tong sat at the innermost table in the room, he was wearing the robes of the brocade guards of the thousand households, but every soldier who came in did not take the initiative to greet him.

Just swaggered to find a seat and sit down, and then chatted with acquaintances, Xingcai Inn, after a while, it became extremely noisy, like a market.

Wang Tong looked at all this coldly, and said in a low voice:

"These people are not protected by Shangguan, they have been bullied for so long, they have no backbone, they have deducted so much military salary, they can only survive by themselves, and they have no face, nominally working as an errand in Jinyiwei, but this errand has no salary, and second, there is no power, so everyone doesn't take this errand seriously, and they don't take this Shangguan seriously."

Staring at these tattered fans, Sun Dahai and Zhang Shiqiang, who were full of anger, nodded thoughtfully.

At this time, I heard the sound of smiling and greeting outside, and the other two hundred households walked in together, it is said that Wang Tong is a living person, and they have been in charge for so long, but none of the people sitting in the seat got up and ignored it, but these three hundred households politely took the initiative to greet them.

"I take the money of the people who meet every month, but I can't give any benefits to the people below, I can't protect them, and I can't manage them, so this Shangguan will naturally become a lower official, so I have to nod and say hello to the people below."

"This Hangzhou hundred households are called Hangzhou Bridge, his family was on an errand in Tianjin in the Hongzhi Dynasty, he and the other two hundred households can't receive any money now, and many of the soldiers below can't pay the money, the three of them turned the houses behind the Jinyi Wei Qianhu Yamen into warehouses, and rented them out to make a profit."

Ma Sanbiao, who was sitting at other tables just now to inquire about the news, came back and told Wang Tong about this, and Wang Tong said disdainfully:

"You can't do things, you don't dare to do evil, if you don't have an eye to make money, he's a complete waste."

While speaking, Nahang Daqiao had already walked to Wang Tong's table, and made a big gesture, without waiting for Wang Tong to speak, he sat on the side, and said in a loud voice:

"For Lord Wang's meal, a few of us were hungry last night and this morning, just waiting to eat meat and drink wine, and the stomach will be called along the way, Lord Wang, hurry up and serve the food to the bar, before the New Year, just wait for this meal to have some oil and water..."

Wang Tong smiled and didn't speak, but changed the topic and asked:

"Then Panda owes you so much food, haven't you asked for it? Why don't you ask for your money? ”

"It's not that I haven't opened my mouth, every time I say that money and food are tight, supply Jizhen and Liao Town first, and we don't have to fight with the Tartars on errands in the city, and we should tighten some trouser belts, and then go to ask for it, either I don't see it, or I use the errand to drive people out."

"In Tianjin, there are many ways to make money, and you can rent out the yamen to be used as a treasury in Hangzhou, why don't you lead everyone to find some ways to make money?"

Hearing Wang Tong say this, Nahang Daqiao's face immediately pulled down, and said in a cold voice:

"Lord Wang, you are young and ignorant, Jinyiwei in Tianjin and Beijing are two different things, Jinyiwei is not my family's business, why should I be bothered, if adults stare at these, it will not be long-term."

Ma Sanbiao was about to stand up as soon as he slapped the table, but Wang Tong smiled at this rude speech, and Hang Daqiao became more and more unruly, pouting and saying:

"These brothers are poor and can't get by, the wives and children go to the adult's house to cry, it's not the next official to persuade and help, the adult, you can be an official with peace of mind, go elsewhere after three years, don't stay here and suffer poverty with the little ones, don't worry about other things that shouldn't be taken care of!!"

After finishing speaking, this Hang Daqiao also peeked at Wang Tong's expression, and found that the half-grown child was still full of smiles, and he couldn't help but be bolder, and said in a rough voice:

"After all that, the table is still empty, my lord, hurry up and serve the food!"

Wang Tong shook his head and smiled, stood up and said loudly:

"Ladies and gentlemen, this official is the new Qianhu Wang Tong, and today's banquet is to be close to everyone, so I won't say much, let's go!!"

As soon as the words fell, Wang Tong's family members and the teenagers of the martial arts hall rushed in from all directions with sticks and shouts, and beat people when they saw them
