Chapter 712: Everything Begins and Begins at the Beginning

His own nephews were beaten and sent to Tianjin Wei's Zhuangzi to do labor, like the Luo family, there are only a few people who are grateful, and resentment is inevitable. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

But thinking about Sun Yonggang, the son of Ning Xibo, who was beaten on the street that day, everyone gritted their teeth and endured it, if they really didn't know how to come to the door to make trouble, I was afraid that it would cause a greater disaster.

But the patrol captains of the Jinyi Guard Patrol Division walked on the streets, and when they encountered such troublemakers and extortionists, petty thieves, street robberies, and that kind of bullying and weak behavior, they reached out to take care of the prisoners and brought them to justice, and the people they rescued were of course grateful, and some stores had to send a plaque, send some wine and meat as a reward, or something.

A plaque, whether it is red on a black background or gold on a black background, will not be less than five taels of silver, and if the workmanship is a little better, the price will be more than ten taels of silver.

Someone sent the news to Wang Tong, and Wang Tong said with a smile:

"Send it like this, isn't it all plaques in the duty room of the Jinyi Guard's yamen, and it's enough to send a flag."

The pennant, Wang Tong said casually, but the person who asked was a little confused, he didn't know what it was, so he had to ask a few more words, Wang Tong explained:

"A hanging flag, with words of praise written on it, this also saves money, and it also expresses gratitude."

When the word spread, some people did it, and the cloth shop first took the sale, and said words of thanks and praise, and they made it.

Even the business of the drum team with the Beijing division has improved a lot, you have to send things to the Jinyi Wei Yamen, you can't go over in vain, you have to blow and blow, make a lot of noise, and there is light on both sides.

Jin Yiwei turned out to be in Beijing, and even the reputation of the world is very bad, saying "Eagle Dog" is already an unbiased compliment, thinking that these people are the most shameless, the most treacherous villain, in the past, Jin Yiwei's performance is indeed worthy of this name, like to take advantage of small advantages, oppress the good people, timid and afraid of things, never care about robbery, such people, a little decent people will not look at it.

Since the establishment of the patrol division to patrol the streets, they have done a lot of things to do righteous and courageous, punish evil and promote good, and strictly enforce the law, and everyone's feelings about them have also been reversed little by little.

However, after all, it has only been a few months, and some deep-rooted concepts will not be able to turn around for a while, but the old lady of the Luo family sent a plaque to the Jinyi Wei Yamen to thank the Jinyi Wei for disciplining her own prodigal son, but it is a story that is talked about in the streets and alleys.

The officialdom of the Beijing division was in turmoil because of Wei Yunzhen's performance, and because of the death of the veteran of the two dynasties, the famous minister Xu Jie, he mourned, and the noise was non-stop, and he couldn't care about anything else.

I didn't notice the changes in the hearts of the people of Jingshi at all, and then again, even if there weren't so many chaotic things, no one would notice.

Shima Lane is the first bustling street in Beijing, adjacent to this street, and even the place separated by two streets is very lively, bustling very, the price of the ground and the shop is much cheaper than Shima Lane, in June, I don't know where the high rollers came, bought a large piece of land.

I thought it was going to be used to open a shop to do business, but after the houses and courtyards inside were demolished, the outside was built with wooden poles and bamboo frames, surrounded by tarpaulin, and people were not allowed to see what was inside.

Except for other places in the Jingshi, of course no one pays attention to what you do, but in the Jingshi, you surround such a large area, but don't let people see what is going on inside, there is a division to come to inquire and ask, the captain of the Jinyi Guard who patrols the street went in and asked, and then came out and ignored it, the soldiers and horses of the five cities also came to ask, and the people of Shuntianfu also came to ask, and after asking, they all ignored it, what should they do.

I haven't seen any scenes in the capital, and when I see the yamen everywhere like this, I know that this background is estimated to be very good, and the yamen everywhere can't afford to offend, and everyone doesn't have to worry about what chaos will happen inside.

The troupe of these years, really good, singing well, acting well, will not make money on the street, but is raised by wealthy families, the small dramas in the troupe, in addition to singing, sometimes become the concubines of wealthy families, as for those piano masters and musicians, they also have a lot of income, and their food and clothing are much stronger than those of the moderately rich.

But if you set up a stage to sing in a teahouse and restaurant, it will be much worse, not to mention eating tea and drinking in a noisy manner, no one will pay attention to you, singing and earning, that is, a food and clothing, if you want to earn more, don't think about it, occasionally there are rich people who do birthday celebrations, what village worships gods, and invite the team to sing a few big plays, this is a good deal.

It is precisely because it is not easy to survive, so there is not so much attention, the big drama troupes also need to be elegant, pay attention to the rhetoric, these troupes can sing whatever they want to listen to, what glamorous words and songs, what foul language slang songs, can be pulled to perform, and they can earn some reward money by cheering them off the stage.

It was also at the beginning of July, in the south of Beijing, two hard-working opera troupes suddenly disappeared, without these two teams, but let some people looking for a church, as well as a dry teahouse wine shop, etc., feel very inconvenient, although these two are grass stage teams, but the singing skills are not bad, often make a new tune, the guests are also supportive, but it is true that there is not much money, it is said that only when singing the hall can you see a little meat, very bitter, such a team, it is indeed a pity to disperse, but it is scattered and scattered, There are many such teams in the Beijing Division, not bad for this one, just look for something else.

Tianjin Wei's Sanjiang Commercial Bank business is big, that is, these five or six years of work, selling and selling as if pouring the sky, needless to say, the business at sea, in Xuanfu, Jizhen, Datong, Liaozhen these places are also monstrous, every day Jinshan Yinhai to the family to make money.

People who have been on the ground in Tianjin Wei for five years remember that Tianjin Wei Ke did not have the number of Sanjiang Commercial Bank to sell, and it was Tonghai, Jinhe and Yongsheng back then.

In just a few years, these three merchants have either disappeared, or have been taken down by the Sanjiang firm, and now outsiders who are doing business in Tianjin Wei are sometimes unwilling to deal with the Sanjiang firm, so they go to other homes, or the old customers of Tonghai, Yongsheng and Jinhe, and are not willing to rotate.

However, they don't know that these three are already the industry of Sanjiang Commercial Bank, and these three merchants have several old relationships that Sanjiang Commercial Bank can't compare, for example, the grassland departments in the north of Datong border town have done business with these three merchants for many years, and there are many merchants in Datong Town who also buy goods in these three merchants.

Ten years after Wanli, Tonghai, Jinhe and Yongsheng's business on the grassland was hindered, and I don't know what the reason is, anyway, the Tartars don't do business with these three.

This situation is easy to solve, it is nothing more than to change the name, and even open another warehouse business in Datong Mansion and Taiyuan Mansion, and then transport and sell the goods.

Ma Dong, the former deputy general of Datong Town, who is now temporarily acting as the chief soldier, always has such and such care for the business of Sanjiang Commercial Bank, and with this care, even if it is a tartar on the grassland, he has to give face.

The grassland and the Ming Dynasty are different, there is a king law and rules everywhere in the Ming Dynasty, there are people robbing caravans in the Ming Dynasty, when the time comes, the official documents are below, the local tolerances, and even the officers and soldiers have to go to arrest, after all, it is the end of the world, there is no place for you to run, but the grassland is different, this side is the territory of the Tartar barbarians, not the land of the king, although most of the Ministry of Answers and the like also set up rules, but the vast grassland, as if it is the sea, the wandering horse bandits and robbers, and some small tribes, robbed and robbed, killing and injuring people and exposing corpses in the wilderness, the goods were snatched away, and there was no place to reason, so there was an official government to sue you, not to mention that you robbed and ran away, the vast grassland, where people were arrested.

Even some generals directly under the Ministry of Answering led the cavalry to work in private, and there was no place to be reasonable, so they could only pinch their noses and admit it, but the grassland was extremely dependent on all kinds of goods of the Ming Dynasty, and the merchants did not dare to come, which was tantamount to destroying their own interests, and such a thing was not excessive.

Sanjiang Commercial Bank used to do business on the grassland and take caravans, all of which were still peaceful, and nothing happened, but in July of the eleventh year of Wanli, the businessmen on the side of Tianjin Wei knew that many caravans of Sanjiang Commercial Bank were robbed on the grassland north of Datong.

Since it was robbed and the business still had to be done, it was necessary to find some way to protect it, so the Sanjiang Commercial Bank contacted the cavalry and horse team and asked them to send someone to help.

The Huwei army is divided into two regiments, but the horse team and the artillery team are not in the establishment, and the horse team is strictly in the sense of the Sanjiang Commercial Bank to support the family and nursing home team, since it is not in the establishment, it is naturally not subject to the control of the government, and it is natural to help with things when it costs other people's money, and immediately set aside hundreds of horsemen to escort it.

These hundreds of horsemen were divided into several teams, but this meeting still shook the merchants everywhere in Tianjin, in the end, it was a big deal, even the cavalry of the guards was actually one person and two horses, and the armor was complete, such a guard, even if it was for the generals to be a pro-soldier family, it was not bad, and they actually went to guard the caravan.

When the first team of guards passed through the boundary of Jingshi, Ma Sanbiao took a dozen people to join them and rushed to Datong, Shanxi.

Over there in Shanxi, the Sanjiang Inn with other names is stocking up, and other businessmen who have been paying attention to them don't understand, the current year is just right, and there is no shortage of food on the grassland, what are you preparing so much food for, it's better to do business in Shanxi than to go to the grassland?
