After the defeat of Maerdun Village in Liaozhen was decided by the imperial court, the ministers were too interested in this matter. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

For the vast majority of people, when they mention the word Jurchen, the first thing that comes to their mind is definitely not the ethnic groups north and east of Liaozhen, but the one that destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty.

The purpose of setting up Liaozhen was to defend against the Mongol forces in this area, and although it was not explained, everyone knew in their hearts that Goryeo was the object of defense, although Goryeo was weak, but the country was a country after all, and it was impossible not to set up and prepare for it at the border.

What are the Jurchens, they are just a group of wild people who herd pigs and farm, such a force is also worthy of being the enemy of the Ming Dynasty, it is really not worth mentioning, the defeat of Liaozhen is just their light enemy and carelessness, not how strong the other party has, otherwise, since Li Chengliang became famous in the world, why the battle is all with the Mongolian tribes, and there is no mention of any Jurchen.

In fact, most people don't even know what the terrain of Liao Town is, let alone the situation outside the border wall of Liao Town.

Wang Tong's news has gathered a lot, but there is not much real value, Liaozhen and foreign merchants, the range of activities outside the border wall is not large, and it is difficult for them to deal with the local natives, especially in such a wartime, the natives are even more hostile to the people from the Ming Dynasty.

I only know that now Nurhachi's strength is expanding rapidly, the Liaozhen army went out to fight and suppress, and did nonsense in the villages outside the border wall, and chased Nurhachi who had been avoiding the main battle, and the local natives hated the Ming army deeply, and Nurhachi continued to fight like this, and there was never a major defeat, which also greatly boosted his prestige between the white mountains and black waters, and became a great British man, and many tribes took the initiative to submit.

Wang Tong understood very well in his heart, no matter how the Jurchens' nasal power swelled, they were still scattered, Liaozhen has now mobilized with all its might, the more power the Jurchens gathered, the more people were killed, the greater the victory of Liaozhen, Wang Tong's judgment of the situation was still very optimistic.

………………。

After confirming that Wang Tong had no intention of reaching out to Liaozhen, the courtiers quickly turned their attention to wealth.

Taxation since the eleventh year of Wanli, has been declining year after year, if it is not for the border towns without war, the governors everywhere have no reason to ask for food, the world is still peaceful, a few earthquakes and floods are not too large, relief does not cost too much silver, and the palace now has a lot of its own income, rarely need the treasury to subsidize, because this expenditure has not become larger, so it can be maintained.

But this trend is really no way to be optimistic, according to this rate of decreasing, if it reaches the level of about five years of Wanli, it may not be able to maintain the balance, after all, the expenses have not been reduced, but the income is getting less and less.

How to increase the income of the imperial court has become one of the things that people are most concerned about at present, and the people of the government and the opposition have put forward their own ideas and opinions, most of which are unreliable.

Now he collects so little, why did he collect so much in the past, Emperor Wanli was very irritable about this matter, he didn't want to give people the impression that he would do something bad if he left Zhang Juzheng, but in fact, after eleven years of Wanli, everything that Zhang Juzheng did with good results now has a negative effect.

Because of this, Emperor Wanli asked Wang Tong to think of another way to see if he could get a treasure like Tianjin Wei, and if there was such a place, the financial gap would be very simple.

Tianjin Wei Wang Tong has been in business for ten years to have such a scale and achievements, and it is not easy to make another one out of thin air.

Wang Tong's mind here is useless here, the left and right Tianzi is just a half-joking word, after coming back from Ningxia, there are too many things along the way, most of them are related to business, this should be slowly straightened out, the shopkeepers of Sanjiang Qianzhuang, insurance houses and commercial banks are all coming here, planning and discussing all day, determining a matter, and immediately someone rushed to the north or northwest.

………………

These people who rushed to the north or northwest were almost to remain there in a permanent state, and these people were the backbone of the Sanjiang commercial system.

At this time, it shows that Wang Tong was far-sighted in running the Business Science Hall back then, and the Sanjiang commercial system has always been expanding, and batches of backbones have been going to various places, but those who are sent out can hold up a piece of the sky, and those who stay are still easy to use, and this business system has been able to develop benignly, which is because there are constantly professional candidates to supplement it.

According to the practice of many things in the Ming Dynasty, when Wang Tong was in Tianjin Wei, the merchants of Tianjin Wei were still willing to maintain enough enthusiasm for the Business Science Hall, and when Wang Tong left, they didn't have this mind.

The apprentices of the business school have to get paid as soon as they enter the door, and they are much higher than ordinary guys, you must know that the apprentice is getting started, and it is the rule to pay for food and housing. Others don't want it, but the Sanjiang system can't do it, and the business of the left and right Sanjiang families is also a big business, and the wages don't have to care too much, but this use has been used to benefit them, these apprentices understand the rules and do it for a few months

Can get started, ordinary apprentices want to become formal partners, why not three years, the business hall here can become a familiar hand in half a year, a year can be used as an old man, of course, behave in the world, treat people and things when needed

However, in such a situation, the Sanjiang system can send more people to expand and run errands.

The Sanjiang system has accumulated a lot of capital in the prosperity of Tianjin Wei, and the capital has accumulated to a certain extent, and there is no need to buy land, so it can only be expanded, going to the provinces of Beizhili, going to Shandong, Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi, and even going to Saiwai and Jiangnan, and the manpower supplemented from the commercial school can meet their needs.

Tianjin Wei is not only the Sanjiang system, but also the Sanjiang system that needs to be expanded, but they all have other problems, the people who are sent out can be trusted, the business of the family will be affected, and if the person sent is not trustworthy, the silver thrown out is meat buns and dogs.

At this time, they saw the benefits of the Business Science School, and when they wanted to recruit people, they found that they were late, why, the Sanjiang System tasted the benefits in the Business Science School, and they immediately began to invest money in the Business Science School, and signed a contract with the students who had not yet graduated from the Business School, so that they could only come to the Sanjiang System to work after graduation.

The School of Commerce is indeed one of the industries under the Sanjiang system, but these things in the Sanjiang system are done according to the rules, and others can't find fault with them.

Other businessmen naturally didn't do it, but they couldn't find any fault, so they had to raise their wages to recruit talents, and discuss with the Business Science Hall on the one hand, and open short-term training courses on the one hand, and on the other hand, the students in the following periods should also have a share of profits, and they can't be eaten by all the Sanjiang system.

However, after all, they were a step late, half a year behind the Sanjiang system, and after the Sanjiang system gained a firm foothold in many places, they had just passed.

The business science hall immediately rose to the top, if the locals look at their children studying there is no hope to be in this business science hall to stop, can't be an official, it is good to make money, Hejian Mansion, Shuntian Mansion also has many people to see this way out, have sent people over, now not only the prefectures and counties of Beizhili, but also Shandong, Henan, Shanxi have people coming.

With so many students, the school also has to be expanded, and the new school is now actually a large farm reconstruction, and the money for the expansion is paid by the merchants of Tianjin Wei, and they have no objection to this, because the more money they pay, the more students they can share.

Now everyone has a judgment, that is, everyone's future future will definitely not be limited to this Tianjin Weiyi place, if you are ready, there will definitely be a chance to make a fortune.

Sanjiang system doesn't like to eat alone, of course, because the benefits outside are often so big that his family can't swallow it, so everyone wants to go over to participate in the grand event, and the opportunity only favors those who are prepared, and everyone doesn't lay a good foundation, so it's no wonder that others miss the wealth when the time comes.

Compared with the business school where everyone is enthusiastic, the general school is a lot more deserted, you need to learn a foreign language to be talented, and you need to have some cultural foundation, such a source of students is not easy to find, if it is not for the fact that foreign trade is now a large number of general affairs, the salary is very high, and it is inevitable to be snubbed in front of the door.

However, what is more interesting is that there are dozens of people in the Tongshi School who are learning Chinese, most of them are white people from Nanyang or India, or they are businessmen, or they are sent representatives, they know a little Chinese, but in such a prosperous environment, they feel that they need to know more, and this Tongshi School just meets their needs.

The Business Science Hall and the Tongshi School were both schools set up by Wang Tong in Tianjin Weishi, and in fact, there were similar institutions under the Sanjiang Craftsman Workshop and the Sanjiang Shipyard.

However, the only people who are willing to go in and learn from the workshop are those foreign residents around the triangle, they don't have much way out in Tianjin, and they are moved to see the generous treatment of the workshop, and they can find a good future for their children.

Sanjiang Shipyard is actually a double training of boatwrights and sailors, but life and death at sea are incomprehensible, even many sailors and fishermen are unwilling to let their children continue to engage in this, however, for most people, there is not much room for choice, or to work hard to survive, there is no shortage of manpower here, but it is not lively, far less than the business school.

"Wang Tong, what I said at the time, do you have any strategy for making a place similar to Tianjin Wei?"

Emperor Wanli did not forget about it.
