Strictly speaking, Qin Kan didn't do what he promised her, but was doing it.

Although Tianjin City is more prosperous than before, but it is still far from the prosperity degree in Qin Kan's mind, now Tianjin City is nearly five times larger than the original, it is the pattern of three sides of the siege of the city and one facing the water, the city is east of the Bohai Sea, the shipbuilding of the Donggang Wharf is built on the edge of the Bohai Sea, the seaside not only lays more than ten deep-water ports, but also arranges countless artillery pieces on the cliff side on both sides of the port, and the two sides echo each other's horns.

The city has already taken on a new look, when Li Dongyang launched the cabinet meeting, and Qin Kan used the shipping bonus to fool the celebrant Liu Jin to approve the red photo, the imperial court's policy of building Tianjin has become a sure thing, when the general administration department issued the resolution of the imperial court to the local government, as Qin Kan expected, the government has not had time to act, but the merchants and magnates from all over the world have heard the wind, and have flocked to the city with plenty of silver and various materials, and a large number of merchants poured into the small city of Tianjin, as if the underworld divided the territory, All means and tactics seized the most favorable terrain as early as possible, bought land, built warehouses, opened shops, and were busy in full swing.

When Yan Song came to Tianjin to take up the prefect on the order of Qin Kan, he was startled when he just entered the city.

The matter of building the city does not need him to be busy at all, the merchants who came in advance have done half of what he should do, what is laughable is that several wealthy businessmen have privately gathered their share, and built a five-in-five and five-out prefect's yamen in Tianjin City for free, which has pavilions, pavilions, water pavilions, corridors, rockeries, and rockeries, Yan Song, who was originally psychologically prepared to endure a few years of hardship, was welcomed into the newly built prefect's yamen mansion by the merchants as soon as he entered the city. A promising young man who was full of ambition and worked hard at the grassroots level was instantly corrupted by a copper-smelling businessman into an inactive cadre who first enjoyed the world and then worried about the world.

Tianjin City was built in this way. To be honest, it doesn't have much to do with Yan Song, Qin Kan still underestimates the huge role of businessmen in this era, they not only have huge assets, but more importantly, they have indomitable courage. If you want to chase huge profits, you must first invest heavily in the city, including the expansion of the city walls and street houses in Tianjin, most of which are lent to Yan Song by merchants out of their pockets. Then it was paid off year by year by the Tianjin prefect's yamen. It's just that the merchant lent the silver to the court is too ugly, so the silver went through a scene from the account of the Jinyiwei, and the right should be called by the Jinyiwei first, and then returned to the merchant by the Jinyiwei in private.

Until the official document of the imperial court was officially issued. The merchants' silver poured into the city like water. Only then did they realize how vicious the eyes of the grandfather Qin who proposed to prosper Tianjin were.

Tang Zihe led the horse. Walking alone on the newly paved bluestone street in Tianjin, the hustle and bustle around her seemed to come from another world, and she was still curiously looking at the prosperity around her in her quiet world. Prosperous like flowers.

No matter who or what identity, there is a contented smile on the face, the smile is sincere, in this chaotic world, how precious it is to see such real happiness somewhere.

After walking less than a hundred steps, Tang Zihe's pretty face hidden under the face towel finally smiled, and it was also a faint happiness, but her happiness had nothing to do with warmth.

It seems to have forgotten the life-and-death struggle at the beginning, and forgot the murderous tactics of the open and the secret, and the only thing that can be remembered is that under the plum tree, a man with power in the world, met her at the right time, they stood side by side under the tree to watch the plum blossoms, and the clouds in the sky.

After a long time of leaving the rope and revisiting the old place, Tang Zihe's pretty face finally bloomed with a smile like a plum, but the smile was hidden deep under the face towel, and he was only willing to fall into the city for those who please himself.

Under the management of Yan Song, the pattern of Tianjin City is quite similar to that of Jingshi, there are also East City and West Market, an avenue in the middle of the East and West City is leading to Donggang, the road is lined with brand-new shops, the merchants on the foot carry their blankets in and out of the shops, there are also dealers who drive mule carts to carry bags of goods to the car, and then whip away, the officials patrolling the street carry an iron ruler and a waist knife, and greet the familiar merchants with a smile while walking.

Tang Zihe, who was dressed in a black cloak, led the horse, and her figure was extremely conspicuous in the crowd, and people cast curious glances at her, and then quickly withdrew their gaze.

"Here...... It's like a paradise. Tang Zihe muttered to himself with a smile.

Looking up at the sky, it was almost noon, and there was a newly opened tea shop not far away, Tang Zihe hesitated, led the horse and walked towards the tea shop.

The tea shop is not big, and it is the time for lunch to eat, and there are not many customers in the tea shop. After Tang Zihe entered the tea shop, he went upstairs, and there were only two tables of guests upstairs.

A single and slender girl walking into the tea shop is undoubtedly very conspicuous, Tang Zihe just sat down and noticed that all the eyes around her were focused on her, but she has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and she has long turned a blind eye to these admiring or unkind eyes, and she is not afraid that others will have bad intentions towards her, as long as she is willing, she can make this teahouse chicken dog not stay between raising her hand.

Perhaps Tang Zihe's momentum is quite luxurious, at first glance, he is the master who can't be provoked, the guests in the tea shop quickly looked away, Tang Zihe smiled faintly, sat at an empty table near the window, and ordered a pot of Longjing to taste slowly.

The emotions stirring in her heart have not calmed down, but she can hear the whispers of the guests at the next table, Tang Zihe was not interested in these market topics, but a name that was so familiar that it seemed to be engraved into her bones came from the next table.

Tang Zihe was stunned, the slender hand holding the teacup suddenly paused, and the pretty face under the face towel quickly condensed.

"The merchant who came from Beijing said something this morning, yesterday the six departments and thirteen imperial historians of the imperial court made a joint attack in the Jinluan Palace, and on the grounds of Tianjin Donggang shipbuilding, the spearhead was directly pointed at Grandpa Qin, the Duke of Ningguo, and Grandpa Qin was more auspicious this time......"

Another tea guest scoffed: "Phew! Don't worry about the country and the people, the affairs of the court are mixed up by those big people who stand up to the sky, what does it matter to you, a small businessman who sells kiln porcelain? ”

"You're just a tendon, of course I'm not qualified to ask about the battle between the big men in the court, but this matter is for Grandpa Qin, do you think it's really just a matter of the big guys?"

"How else? Even if they bring down Grandpa Qin, will it still be connected to us? ”

Cha politely knocked on the table angrily, lowered his voice and said angrily: "Lao Tzu is really strange how you have survived to this day, use your pig brain to think about it, the imperial history of the imperial court used the shipbuilding of Tianjin to attack Grandpa Qin, if Grandpa Qin was really brought down by the imperial history, do you think we can end up well?" Don't forget who first proposed the expansion of Tianjin, the cabinet was at the beginning, and the celebrant and the secretary of general administration approved it, so that we have the same weather as Tianjin today, if Grandpa Qin falls because of Tianjin, do you think those big people in the court will let us go Tianjin? Now most of the yamen in Tianjin are the former officials of Grandpa Qin, the big tree of Grandpa Qin has fallen, and the monkey on the tree must not be served by the imperial court. ”

When another tea guest heard this, he couldn't help but gasp, and his tone became a little flustered: "In this way, Grandpa Qin is really unacceptable!" If he falls, our merchants and people in Tianjin will fall into blood mold! ”

The tea guest sighed, and then said: "Since Grandpa Qin proposed to expand the city in Tianjin, we can count a good life for a year, the newly relocated households are exempted from taxes and forced labor for five years, Donggang Shipbuilding has a lot of opportunities to work and make money, and if you work hard for a few years, you may be able to earn a lot of money for your children and grandchildren, who would have thought that such a good day would have an accident after just over a year, if Grandpa Qin was brought down by the imperial historians, our good days would be over, and now Tianjin City and Grandpa Qin are tied to a rope, if Grandpa Qin is not there, His rival enemy still doesn't want to put Tianjin to death......"

Another tea guest shook his head worriedly: "Hurry up and pour two mouthfuls and leave, while the bad news of Jingshi has not come out, I have to quickly dump this batch of goods in my hand, and sit at home today to watch the news and find a way back for myself......"

The two of them tasted their tea, unaware that the woman at the table behind them had listened to their conversation word for word.

After the two left, Tang Zihe slowly put down the teacup, and the murderous intent in his beautiful eyes flickered non-stop.

"A pack of wolves serving tigers, there will be a vicious fight, this Jingshi, if I can't say it, I will go again!" (To be continued......)
