Surname marriage. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoEveryone has to follow a part, the emperor is married, and the courtiers are writing a congratulatory drama.

However, the nobles and the vassal kings of various places had to spend a lot of time on gifts, but they were all goods. If it is really a precious and special gift, I can't keep what the Queen Mother and the big guys think, are you too bad, and it is more likely that you have too many good things in your hands, and you will be coveted by everyone.

Wang Tong is a brocade cloth and a thousand households. According to the official rank, it is not even the turn to write a congratulatory table, but the actual situation is here, and it is impossible to say a word of congratulations in the empty words.

The day before the wedding, Wang Tong's congratulatory gift was personally sent to Emperor Wanli's desk through Zhao Jinliang.

It was not a treasure of gold or silver, nor a rare specialty, but a thick book of books and books.

There are a total of five battalions of Tianjin Jinyi Wei Thousand Households. There is also the roster of the fifteen battalions of the Huwei Army, as well as the account books of the taxation along the river and the taxation of maritime trade on the Tianjin Wei side.

Wang Tong's own soldiers and horses are a set, nothing more than seven battalions of regular soldiers and thirteen reserves, but officially, he only has a thousand people in Jinyi and Wei Thousand Households, and the rest are the so-called Huwei Army.

The Huwei Army has no number and establishment so far. But this is a matter mentioned when he left the Beijing Division, since the Son of Heaven has an impression, he is not afraid that someone will talk about the official establishment.

The performance of these soldiers and horses under his command, naturally, the eyeliner spies in all aspects will gather the news to all parts of the Beijing Division, and Wanli will also know that the spirit and spirit shown by the army will surely satisfy people in all aspects.

However, Emperor Wanli's reaction when he saw these rosters was even happier than when he heard the brave performance of Tianjin Jinyiwei.

All aspects of the Jinyi Guard, the personnel, equipment, and establishment of the Tiger Mighty Army are clearly recorded on the roster.

With this booklet, we will understand all the 1,000 Tianjin Jinyi Wei and 3,000 Huwei Army, and if there is a change of personnel, an ordinary official can control the Huwei Army in his hands.

The financial resources are even clearer, how to distribute taxes everywhere, how much income, how much poison is sent to Beijing, how much is used to pay military salaries, how much is invested in workshops, how much is used for infrastructure construction, and so on.

The meaning of this account is similar to that of the army's roster, and it is also a clear explanation, as long as you want to take it, you can send someone to take over these accounts at any time.

Emperor Wanli was very careful, he specially asked Zhang Cheng to call the eunuchs in the palace to check the accounts, and the results soon came out, saying that there was nothing to be missed.

If you want to further verify, then you have to go to the field to see, this result has made the Wanli Emperor very satisfied, a large sum of money sent to the palace, all parties sent there eyeliner said that Wang Tong lived simply, and the accounts were so clear, I don't think there would be any greed for ink.

Think about it differently and get to this point. Emperor Wanli would rather be greedy for ink, why should he live so hard, everyone understands it in their hearts.

Seeing these rosters, Emperor Wanli's happiness was not for the sake of everything being clear, nor for Wang Tong's courage and wealth.

The significance of these rosters is that the Wanli Emperor can take over at any time, the army and the treasury of the Tianjin Wei. He can get his hands on it whenever he wants.

In other words, this is his power, his wealth.

Emperor Wanli is the son of heaven of the Ming Dynasty, but he is also a powerless and powerless son of heaven, and all military power, financial power, and personnel power are in the hands of the Queen Mother, Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng.

Without his own strength, without his own organization, he doesn't dare to speak loudly, and he has to calculate the reactions of others when he does anything, and he is restrained everywhere and very aggrieved. All this has changed since he met Wang Tong, and Wang Tong first got out of the Department of Public Security. Emperor Wanli finally has his own intelligence channels, and does not have to rely on Feng Bao's Dongchang and Zhang Juzheng's Jinyiwei, and now he has Tianjin's army and wealth, when the little emperor looks at this roster and account book. The smile on his face never disappeared, and if it weren't for someone beside him, he would probably have stood up and screamed with joy.

Why did the Empress Dowager Cisheng Li hand over all the power of the inner court to Feng Bao, but the imperial horse supervisor was firmly in his hands, and why did Zhang Juzheng lead the appointment of the generals of Jizhen, Xuanfu and Jingshi garrisons, and he wanted to appoint people who were close to him. It's because military power is crucial.

I remember when I was in the Huwei Martial Arts Hall, Wang Tong once said a sentence when he was chatting, "The power comes out of the knife handle", it was not really small at that time, but now I only think that this sentence is a wise saying.

On weekdays, listening to the courtiers talk about government affairs for half an hour in Wenyuan Pavilion, Emperor Wanli was tired of it. But today I received Wang Tong's "wedding gift." Tsai looked carefully for two hours, but did not speak.

Zhang Cheng has been standing quietly aside. Wang Tong's congratulatory gift did not surprise him, how much money Wang Tong could collect and how many soldiers he raised, these were all in Dongchang and Jinyiwei

Fang Cai habitually sorted out what Wang Tong had done. I still couldn't help but be surprised, he was just a fifteen-year-old child, how could he make such a big situation.

The Department of Public Security was made by him, and there was an extra million in the palace, which was also raised by him, and now he has trained such a useful army and horses, is this person really wise.

And this Wang Tong knows how to do it very well, and he has great power, but he takes the initiative to ask for decentralization and take the initiative to explain to the top, which can eliminate the suspicion of the upper authorities and deepen his trust.

The soldiers and horses and wealth are all in Tianjin, and the emperor will definitely not take care of it himself, and the most trusted person is Wang Tong. After all, isn't it up to him?

After pondering and pondering, Zhang Cheng was only stunned and surprised, but he came to a conclusion, the future of this Wang Tong is really very ambitious, and now it is so useful, I don't know what the future will be. It must be handed over well.

"Long live the lord, it's getting dark, and the slave is going to come in and light the lamp."

By the time I reacted, it was already dark outside. Zhao Jinliang said in a low voice outside. Wanli only learned from Wang Tong's "congratulatory gift." Shang looked away, patted the table excitedly, and spoke

"Zhang Banban, I want to say the will, in the future, don't send all the money collected by Wang Tong to the Lian, keep more for yourself, then the Huwei Army will do a big job, but also for the good of the Lian, spend this silver. Rejoice in the heart! ”

Zhang Cheng was stunned, then smiled bitterly and whispered:

"Long live the lord, it doesn't matter if you give more money to Tianjin, but this tiger mighty army is doing big things, don't mention it in the future, just understand it in your heart first."

Emperor Wanli was originally excited, but when he was said like this, his face immediately became a little gloomy, but there were too many such things, but then the little emperor sighed and asked in a deep voice:

"The widow is enthusiastic about raising soldiers and horses, and the Queen Mother and Mr. Zhang are just looking at it, right!?" Hearing this, Zhang Cheng didn't even have a wry smile on his face. He bowed his body, lowered his voice and said:

"Shengming is none other than the Long Live Lord, the Imperial Horse Supervisor and the avant-garde of the government army are placed inside and outside the imperial city, and the rest of the guards and battalions are also inside and outside the Beijing Division, Long Live Lord, you are so concerned about Tianjin, don't you feel at ease here, although Wang Tong is worthy of the favor of the Long Live Lord, if the Empress Dowager and Mr. Zhang think too much,"

There was no light in the house, and it was dark outside. I couldn't see Wanli's expression, but I was silent for a while before I spoke:

"Then let's first draw up the matter of letting Wang Tong keep more silver!!"

"Long live the lord, the slave and maid risk death to say something, the day after tomorrow is the day of the wedding of the long live lord, the two queen mothers are keeping an eye on it, long live the lord to make such a will, Wang Tong is afraid that it will be,"

"It's so dark, what are you still rubbing outside! Hurry up and hold the light!! ”

Emperor Wanli didn't answer, but suddenly shouted loudly outside, Zhao Jinliang hurriedly pushed open the door and ran in with a candle.

Zhang Cheng didn't speak, but just stretched out his hand and began to sort out the scrolls on the bookcase.

It was already the second day of November when he received the Zhongzhi from Beijing, and the proportion of the tax and silver collected in Tianjin could be increased from half to 20%, but this will was not countersigned by the cabinet, and in a strict sense, officials could refuse, so it was called Zhongzhi.

However, Wang Tong is a military attaché, and the silver collected is directly sent to the inner treasury of the palace, and there are no civil officials in the middle, so the effect of this central decree is indeed useful.

Wang Tong collected tax silver, he was not greedy, and sent most of it to the palace, and the palace couldn't see it. Isn't this a joke for the world?

There is one thing that Wang Tong did not mention, the rent collected by those shops on the bank of the Haihe River is all the income of Tianjin Jinyiwei, and the two warehouses in which Wang Tong has a stake, and the business is booming, and the trade in and out of the sea, the trade between the north and the south, all participated, and made a lot of money.

These Wang Tong did not mention it above, maybe the above also knows, but these things also belong to Wang Tong, and Wang Qianhu also wants money to be an official!

The weather is getting colder, and both Weiyun and sea transportation have to prepare for winter, and Cao Yun will stop for three months, and sea transportation will stop for two months, but according to Wang Tong's news, before November 20, sea transportation will not stop.

But after entering November, the sea ships came more and more rarely, originally there were ships almost every day, but now there is only one in three days and five days, Wang Tong has too many things to be busy with, and he has not noticed.

Born as a pirate, Tang Shan, who was doing an inspection by the Haihe River at this time, noticed it. On the second day of the first month of November, he went to the tax customs of the canal to inquire about the situation, and after confirming his own ideas, Tangshan rode into the city in a hurry, saying that he had something important to ask to see Wang Tong.
