Eating moon cakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival, drinking and feasting, the weather gradually cooled down, and everything was normal.

It doesn't matter if the top and bottom of the Ministry of Industry are still in the book, no one in the Beijing Division cares about this matter at all, except for the officials of the Ministry of Industry, who have achieved the position of Langzhong and Wailang, they are all thinking about taking this opportunity to get what benefits they can get, at least not to get any harm.

As for the heads of the various divisions, they have gone to find connections, and they naturally dare not expect to be promoted, but they must not be sent to Tianjin to be the firearms workshop.

The Ministry of Industry handles a lot of money, and it is inexhaustible to do it casually, so why go to the Tianjin firearms workshop to suffer, even if there is no communication before the war, everyone is not willing to go, because there is a eunuch who is the imperial supervisor, and the money cannot be earned, and it will be suppressed and angry.

Now that there is such a big commotion, everyone is even more reluctant to go over, Wang Tong is even more troublesome, not to mention that he can't afford to offend, it is said that this young master is still unwilling to make money, so isn't it that everyone can't even drink soup.

Since everyone is reluctant to go, there must always be someone to go, and the one who is willing to be the principal has become the only person who is "expected by all".

This director is an unusual person in the Ministry of Works, he likes to study Western things, and he likes to stay with craftsmen and builders, and he spends more time in the workshop than in the yamen.

It's still a credit for the imperial examination, don't you know that you come to the Ministry of Industry to be an official, not a craftsman, some people can't look at it and persuade it, this person is good to be in charge, and actually said that I like it, after such a thing, no one will persuade him, let him go.

Last year, when Wang Tong was at the most beautiful in Beijing, this director also dealt with Wang Tong, what a good opportunity, accepted it, met the Son of Heaven, maybe today it is the squire of the Ministry of Works, but this one went to the craftsman with things, and mixed up with some hard-working people, wasting a great opportunity in vain.

When he had some projects in his hands, he didn't even collect the usual money, and he couldn't even get the money with everyone, and he didn't want others to give him some if they wanted to give him some points.

What's the use of the elm pimple that can't share the weal and woe with everyone, let's send it to Tianjin as soon as possible!

It's really a wish, everyone thinks so in their hearts, and the new Shangshu doesn't know how, so he picked this elm head to go to Tianjin Wei.

I thought that after leaving the Beijing Division, this nerd should always be a little reluctant, but I didn't expect that after the order came down, the director Ren was overjoyed, saying that Wang Qianhu was a person who did things, and he went over there to rectify the workshop, and he must have a lot to do, and when the time comes, he will make more sharp weapons for our Daming.

This kind of person, there is really no need to say anything about him......******** "Queen Mother, Zhu Yiyi is eleven this year, and he should be a vassal, always in the palace, not a long-term solution!" ”

At a banquet with the Empress Dowager Li, Emperor Wanli proposed to let King Lu go out of the palace to the fiefdom.

"There are two of you brothers in the mourning family, you are older now, every time you take care of the government's political plans, the mourning family wants to have a child by your side, and you can't keep King Lu by your side for a few more days?"

No matter how sensible a person is, he will become irrational when it comes to matters involving his children, even when he says another to one child.

Hearing the Empress Dowager Cisheng say this, Emperor Wanli's expression stiffened, put the chopsticks in his hand on the table, and said in a loud voice:

"All down!"

The surrounding palace maids and eunuchs all bowed their heads and saluted, retreated in small steps, and everyone walked out, and Emperor Wanli said with some pleading:

"Queen Mother, Zhu Yiyi stayed in the palace like this, he didn't go to the palace for a long time, there were too many rumors outside, and if he went on like this, it would also damage the royal face, and let some evil villains drill into the cracks......"

"Your Majesty, the mourning family feels sorry for King Lu and the emperor feels the same thing, what's wrong with loving the child, who will say anything and dare to say anything outside?"

Empress Dowager Li calmed down a little and said earnestly, Emperor Wanli lowered his head and sighed, raised his head and squeezed out some smiles, and said:

"The queen mother, the emperor has been living alone when he was five years old, every time he and Mr. Zhang study and study, why can't Zhu Yiyi go out to join the domain, and have to stay in the palace and let the queen mother take care of it?"

"In a few years, let him go out now, the mourning family is not at ease and reluctant, if you really want to go to Weihui, the mourning family doesn't know if you can see it."

"The Queen Mother..."

"It's a huge imperial city, can't you even accommodate your brother-in-law?"

Seeing that Emperor Wanli was going to say more, Empress Dowager Li's face became a little cold, and her words were also stern, Emperor Wanli looked at her face, quickly got up from her seat, and said:

"The emperor is not filial, which makes the queen mother angry, and the emperor is also for Zhu Yiyi's good, let him go to the fief as soon as possible, so as not to be unaccustomed to it without Jingshi, and there is no other meaning."

Empress Dowager Li looked at Emperor Zhu Yijun who was standing there with his hands down, her face gradually softened, and she said with a smile:

"The mourning family just doesn't want your brothers to be separated, mothers and children have the same thoughts, they all look forward to your well, and the emperor's thoughts are also for his good, you and my mother and son are their own families, why bother with so many etiquette, eat quickly, it's going to be cold."

Emperor Wanli returned to his seat at this time, and soon got involved in other idle matters, and the mother and son were smiling again.

However, bowing his head to eat, Emperor Wanli's eyes occasionally changed slightly, and the eyes of the Empress Dowager Cisheng Li were much stranger, and his son would not look at his mother with such eyes.

Although Emperor Wanli dismissed all the people who were waiting in the house before the dispute, there were still channels for those who wanted to understand.

“…… Li Niangniang argued with the emperor for a few words, and the emperor first took the soft ......"

"Hehe, now that the emperor is the emperor, there is still a mother in charge after returning to the palace, I feel that I am doing it reasonably, but I can't do it, and I don't dare to play any prestige, for fear of abolishing myself, which will slowly become suspicious......"

At present, the power triangle of the Ming Dynasty is Feng Bao of the Inner Court, Zhang Juzheng of the Outer Dynasty and the Empress Dowager Li of the Imperial Dynasty, of which the Empress Dowager Li is the center, all the appointment and dismissal of important positions, the implementation of national policies, the consent of the Wanli Emperor is not counted, and the Empress Dowager Li approved before it was passed.

Although Empress Dowager Li slowly retreated to the back and became less and less concerned with government affairs, she has always made the appointment and dismissal of the imperial horse supervisor, and she has also arranged and promoted the Jingying and Jingwei camps, and the soldiers and horses inside and outside the Beijing division are all controlled by her.

Wanli was just a ten-year-old child when he first ascended the throne, and he is only sixteen years old now, but everything is still in the hands of the heavenly family, and he has not been controlled by the eunuchs and ministers.

But it can be supported, and it can not be supported. No one dared to think about this question, and no one raised it.

Wang Tong did not have the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are too many things that need to be worried about up and down, the will of the palace has come down, 200,000 taels of silver are escorted into Beijing, and the rest of the silver taels are allocated to Tianjin Jinyi Wei Qianhu and firearms workshops for use.

Now there are still 50,000 taels of silver collected by the Jingshi Public Security Division, and Wang Tong's hands are much more relaxed.

Among the 14 sea ships that were detained, five of them had just come to dock, and they were loaded with a large number of southern goods, and after hearing Wang Tong's policy, they all hurried to get rid of the goods in their hands and go back to bring more cargo ships to make a fortune.

The goods were taken off, the price was cheaper, and Gu Zibin's Wangjia Warehouse and Zhang Chunde's "Deji" two buildings near the water were eaten with silver.

Because these southern goods were exempted from the previous extortion and various risks, they were forty percent cheaper than the southern goods they brought over, and the Gu family and the Zhang family sold them at a higher price, and they were immediately eaten by the merchants of Beizhili and Shandong.

In any case, this road is equivalent to paying taxes only once in Tianjin, and the shipping freight is cheap, and after an amortization, the merchants in Shandong bought goods to transport back to Shandong by water, which is actually a few points cheaper than those goods transported from the south and transported by Cao.

The purchase is cheap, and there is more money, businessmen are profit-seeking, such a cheap everyone is willing to earn, after the sale of these goods, many businessmen who have not bought the goods have inquired when there will be goods.

It turned out that Tianjin's largest Tonghai warehouse was silent this time, and it couldn't organize any large-scale supply of goods, and Yongsheng Commercial Bank closed its doors for a few days, and directly joined the ranks of rush purchases.

There are large quantities of goods, that is, the Gujia and Zhangjia, the merchants of Beizhili, Shandong and even Shanxi and Henan have come to place a deposit, and those who have branches in Tianjin Wei will send people from the branch to keep an eye on them, and if there are no branches, they will leave special people, and even hold the silver here and wait.

The Gu family and the Zhang family suddenly became the most beautiful businessmen in Tianjin, and it seems that it is not difficult to do the biggest in the future, the difference between the Gu family and the Zhang family is that Wang Tong has forty percent of the Gu family, and there are ninety percent of the Zhang family.

It turns out that in addition to the simple wooden sheds on both sides of the Haihe River, there are some grain tuns, and now people with a little vision are ready to build houses and warehouses there, and there will be so many people and logistics in the future, it will be difficult to make money.

However, Tianjin Jinyi Wei Qianhu has already reported to the Qing Military Department, saying that Jinyi Wei has rectified the sea frontier and set up the Haihe River as a special management.

The area on both sides of the Haihe River near the sea is recorded as a barren beach in the Qing Army Hall, and Wang Tong's face is big, and no one argues with him, so he easily took the land.

Then, the construction and craftsmen inside and outside the Tianjin Acropolis were looted, and the Tianjin Jinyi Wei Qianhu wanted to build houses on the shore by themselves.

While everyone was confused, another word came out that the houses were designed according to the specifications of the shops, and that the docks and roads would be built and renovated.

This rumor made everyone even more confused, but the large announcement posted at the Caoyun Wharf and the city gate made everyone understand.

"Shops on both sides of the Haihe River, the rent is preferential, and the first three years of renting and living are only 7% off the usual practice."

Signed by Wang Tong, covered with the big seal of Tianjin Jinyi Wei Qianhu!
