Chapter 878: Although in a foreign land, it is like home

readx;

Wang Tong's words are naked and undisguised against the disgust and contempt of readers. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info However, Meng Feng is a eunuch, and Tan will be a martial artist, so he naturally agrees with this position, and they all laugh.

The Ming Dynasty opened up its territory and expanded its territory, and somewhere was really controlled, and there was often a symbol, that is, the people there could study the imperial examination and produce meritorious scholars, even if they were completely controlled and subordinated to the king, if they were out of the Jinshi, it would be a grand event.

Of course, after this process, it is natural to let the imperial court set up a yamen official office, which will be managed by the yamen.

Naturalization City and the surrounding land, Wang Tong originally defined him as Huangzhuang, which was directly managed by the ministers on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and in a place like Naturalization City, the benefits that eunuchs could reap here were not known in the open, and there were many more positions to arrange people.

In terms of the town, Datong town, and the forbidden army, a large number of veterans were placed here, and the generals everywhere also had such and such benefits in the fields and commerce of the naturalized city.

In fact, if the Naturalization City is stabilized, the officials will ask for the establishment of magistrates here, and the ministers will be squeezed out, and it is very likely that the military attaches will be suppressed.

The scholars of the Ming Dynasty competed with the Son of Heaven for profit, and the Ming Society for profit, never paying attention to any tranquility and indifference, but striving for the first.

The idea of the partial-born people is that everything is inferior, only the people who have moved over, and even those serfs who were originally taken captive, after their lives have settled down and they are not angry and have food and clothing, they will have the idea of letting their children study and "seek a background" to that point, and it will be difficult to stop the official from reaching out.

Wang Tong's approach is very simple and direct, that is, to stifle the possibility first, "to give these original and relocated people other backgrounds and outlets, so that the craftsmen and warriors of Naturalization City have a reserve and can metabolize themselves."

"Hou Ye said well, after all, the naturalization city has just been laid, and the teaching is not developed, if you study here, won't it delay the future" Let's go to Datong and Shanxi! ”

Meng Feng said with a smile, but Ma Yong, who was following behind, scolded, and said hatefully: "If you want to take the test for fame, you can eat and rent here and enjoy happiness, we can't ask for it here, those who were born in the Wei Institute have to fight for life and death, when will the rent tax be less, why did they read a few books and get a reputation for Lao Shizi, and they became a master." ”

"Ma Yong, if your words are heard, I'm afraid that the spit will drown you!"

Wang Tong joked with a smile, Ma Yong also shook his head and smiled bitterly, but at this point, Meng Feng understood better that if there is a famous scholar on this newly occupied land, then the scholar's land will be exempted from taxation, "If someone comes over with the land to donate, then the tax received will be less."

What Hou Ye said is that the future of these people who seek progress cannot be delayed, "As long as there are people who want to study for the imperial examination, the small ones will send their whole families away." ”

Everyone laughed, "Although Wang Tong is considered a guest when he comes to this naturalization city, Wang Tong is completely the master's style, and he directly asks people to take him to the residence to settle down first, and then go to the banquet in the evening." ............, all the way, when they arrived at this house, they settled down, and the guards began to carry things, and when the house where the ladies lived was cleaned up, the maids and daughters began to clean, and then helped Wang Tong's wife and concubine Yifeng people down.

The first time Wang Tong came to this house, according to the habit on weekdays, he first led a few leaders of the guards to walk around the mansion once, familiar with the terrain, so as not to have time to react.

When he walked to the back house, he saw a few well-dressed fu people who were there directing a pair of maids and maids to clean up the arrangements there, these fu people Wang Tong had never seen it, and when he was wondering, Tan Dahu and Tan Erhu, who were following him, whispered: "Master Hou, the villain is over there with a few aunts." ”

Wang Tong was stunned for a moment, then reacted, frowned and turned his head and said: "Your father and uncle are also the leading figures in Naturalization City now, this is too unusual, there are people below to do the work, let your mother and aunt go in and talk to Aunt Ma, don't be busy outside." ”

Seeing Wang Tong frowning, Tan Dahu and Tan Erhu were worried, and thought that they had done something wrong, but when they heard these words, they were relieved and hurriedly ran over.

Mother and son haven't seen each other for a long time, as soon as they saw the two brothers of the Tan family, a few fu people immediately cried, Tan Dahu and Tan Erhu hurriedly persuaded each other over there, and the women of the Tan family over there saw Wang Tong here, panicked Wanfu saluted, Wang Tong smiled and nodded, Tan Dahu and Erhu over there even persuaded and pushed, and sent people into the yard, so they were a little embarrassed to run back.

"After walking the yard, you can go home for the New Year on vacation, and spend more time with your parents!"

Wang Tong said with a smile, Tan Dahu and Tan Erhu were busy thanking each other, seeing this scene, Wang Tong also felt in a good mood, and returned to the inner house after walking around the courtyard.

Entering the inner house, it happened that Han Xia was leading Zhang Hongying and her daughters to patrol the yard, Zhai Xiuer and Lu Ruomei also followed behind with low eyebrows, seeing them, Wang Tong said with a smile: "You have also worked hard all the way, it's good to go back to the house to rest, you can celebrate the New Year by yourself at night, I have something to do here." ”

The women here are all saluting in unison, according to the rules of the inner house, in this case, only the main wife Han Xia is qualified to talk to Wang Tong, and it is rude for others to interject.

After Han Xia saluted, she walked up to Wang Tong and said with a smile: "The master is busy with business, and the concubines and sisters are also lively enough for the New Year."

"The house utensils and messengers are enough, this is your own place, if there is anything you need, you can directly manage the opening of the Tan family."

"Don't worry, sir, everything is available here, it is said that the maids and women who are waiting are all the clever families of the Han serfs here, and the house utensils are enough, but the concubine feels a little luxurious."

Han Xia's last sentence was frowned and said, although they didn't get along for a long time, Wang Tong knew that this Han Xia was a frugal girl, after all, she had come over in a hard time, Zhang Hongying had also helped Ma Pozi as a housekeeper for many years, and she was also careful in her calculations, hearing her say this, she couldn't help but smile and asked, Han Xia replied: "This house and the living room are covered with fine carpets, look at the uā weaver, how can it be a few hundred taels or even thousands of taels in Beijing and Tianjin, and the house supplies are mostly gold and silverware, so extravagant, it is to be blessed......"

Wang Tong couldn't help laughing when he heard this, stretched out his hand and patted Han Xia's head, although they are husband and wife, Wang Tong is much taller than Han Xia, and he is a few years older, this action is not so much intimacy, but more to children, for his action, Han Xia did not dodge but his face was also red, and said softly: "Husband, the sisters are here!" ”

Zhang Hongying, Zhai Xiu'er and Lu Ruomei all had smiles on their faces, pretending to look elsewhere, Wang Tong said with a smile: "You think this blanket is precious, but it is also an ordinary thing for your family here, you really want to buy it here, that is, ten taels to one hundred taels of goods, as well as those gold and silver wares, do you know what the price of this porcelain is here, it is the price of gold and silver, they have no porcelain and copper and iron utensils, they can only use gold and silver." ”

Han Xia naturally didn't have such insight, and when Wang Tong said it, he understood, Wang Tong continued: "The Tartars on the grassland, how can they build such a city, have such a mansion, and there is so much gold and silver in it, just because of trade, the things of ten taels here can be sold for a thousand taels in Daming, and the same is true of things in Daming. ”

Several girls listened as if they didn't understand, and after Wang Tong finished speaking, he accompanied his wives and concubines to say a few words of gossip, and then went to the front hall again, Tan Jiang and the shopkeeper of Sanjiang Commercial Bank here were waiting.

After a brief discussion there, he returned with a stack of volumes, all of which were all the statistics and statistics of the Sanjiang Commercial Bank, as well as various information collected in the local area and the grassland in accordance with the internal regulations of Sanjiang.

This is the mansion of the great nobles of the Ministry of Answers, the living room and bedroom are modeled after the regulations of the rich and noble families of the Ming Dynasty, but there is no study, but there is a house to store weapons, Wang Tong simply sat down in the living room, where he looked through the pages, and was looking at it, Zhai Xiu'er secretly walked over, and after coming over, he first smiled and said a thousand blessings, and then said: "Master, although it is cold outside, the house is warm and tight, which is more comfortable than Nanjing." ”

The southern winter house is cold, but at most it is to get a charcoal stove or charcoal pot or something to heat, which is more convenient than the fire sandwich wall and ground rabbit here.

Wang Tong liked this lively and non-stage frightened Zhai Xiu'er very much, and when he heard her say this, he put down his roll and asked with a smile: "Are you still used to staying?" ”

"It's too dry and cold, and there are cuts on your face, master, see that your body is almost recovered, when can we go back!"

Because Zhai Xiu'er was involved in pretending to be sick, so she could ask this, it would be too rude for others to say this, Wang Tong shook his head and said with a smile: "Go back?" I don't know when it was, but I finally came once, and I always had to stay longer. ”

Although Wang Tong does not go to the place where he originally lived in the palace, Meng Feng and the leading figures in the Naturalization City are still on the site of the old palace for Wang Tong, after all, there is enough magnificent space here, and even the kitchen has enough space.

After Wang Tong came, Meng Feng deliberately led Wang Tong to the kitchen for a walk, it is indeed worth seeing, in the open space in front of the kitchen, there is a camel being roasted on the iron frame, several chefs are using a brush to dip the condiments on the camel to paint, the aroma is overflowing.

"I have already invited a cook from Datong, but since the Hou Ye has come to naturalization, he must always taste the characteristics of the grassland."

Meng Feng said with a smile.
