Chapter 633: The Tartar's Reaction (3)
In the past two or three years, the Qingfeng shop in the puppet Qing capital, that is, the intelligence staff of the No. 51 workstation, has achieved remarkable results.
They recorded the natural geography around the capital, the artificial buildings, the local garrison and residents, and even the main roads, prices, and customs of the outer and inner cities, and then wrote a report with the secret water issued to them.
Really, in this plane, this kind of intelligence work is just too easy.
Originally, they also wanted to find out the situation of the buildings in the imperial city, no matter how heavily guarded it was, if they had the heart, then the general situation would always be able to get some of it.
That's a big credit.
Think about it, it's a Tartar palace, if you can figure out what's going on inside......
But the exemplary minister had already ordered that the staff should not visit the palace.
This is really strange, the minister is interested in the inner city, the outer city, the city of Tianjin, etc., but he is not unfamiliar with such a mysterious imperial city.
The intelligence staff may not know that the people in the Hantang Group rarely have been there when they were in that world.
The general situation there, the people of the Han Tang Group may know better than the Tartar leaders in this time and space, and I don't believe that they can spend a few hundred yuan to get around.
Of course, the intelligence workers don't know about this anymore, so they think it's a protection for themselves,
This gratitude is very subtle, especially for those who are in the Tatar-controlled zhì region
The intelligence workers in the capital are very serious about walking around the capital and outside the capital.
At the same time, they focused on the Tongzhou area and set up a bureau at Dazhangwan Wharf.
The name of Tongzhou is taken from the "righteousness of Caoyun Tongji".
In the first year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, that is, in August 1368, the Ming general Xu Da captured the Yuan Dadu again, changed its name to Beiping, and changed the Yuan Dadu Road to Beiping Mansion.
So far, Tongzhou has four counties, Sanhe, Wuqing, Xianghe and Miaoxian, which belong to Beiping Prefecture.
In the first year of Yongle, in the first month of 1403, Beiping was taken as Beijing, and Beiping Mansion was changed to Shuntianfu.
Since then, Tongzhou and the four counties under its jurisdiction have all belonged to Shuntianfu, and there has been no change since the Tatars became the masters.
Zhangjiawan is the northernmost wharf of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and has become an important town in Jingdong through the Liao, Jin and Yuan dynasties.
There, as early as 1564, in order to protect the capital, the construction of the castle began.
The small city was built along the river, with a brick-shaped plan, long from north to south, narrow from east to west, and about 3,015 meters in circumference.
The thickness of the wall is 3.5 meters, the height is 7 meters, the rammed earth is solid, and the bricks are outside.
Whether it was the Ming Dynasty or the later Puppet Qing Dynasty, at the wharf of Zhangjiawan, millions of Shicao grains were collected every year, and then transferred to the warehouse in the capital along the Tonghui River and through the moat.
In addition to the official Caoyun wharf, other large and small wharves here are also numerous, and some large commercial houses have their own special wharves.
Of course, other shops can also borrow the pier, but pay some docking fees.
It was in this place that the intelligence staff of Qingfeng Shop established a good relationship with the wharf of a large trading house, and through the people who guarded the wharf here, they became acquainted with officials of all sizes in Tongzhou.
No matter which period, here is an important political and military hub, as the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal along the Caoyun town, Tongzhou not only set up heavy troops to guard the granary, but also put Caoyun Tongju, Cangchang Shilang, Sitting Grain Hall, Tonghui River Langzhong, Hall Xun and other officials, they are responsible for management, dredging Tongzhou River, building sluice dams, revenue and expenditure of taxes and grain.
Whoever it is, they regard Tongzhou as the gateway to Kisuke.
Hantang Group is of course no exception.
The person who took care of the dock was very curious, the person at this breeze shop was really enthusiastic, and he actually took the initiative to help him repair the dock!
Although they also have goods to and fro, they are far less than their own, but they have paid for the repair of the wharf.
This time the pier is stronger and smoother.
The owner of the wharf didn't care, so he took the initiative to waive the berthing fee they borrowed in the future, and they were embarrassed to ask for money for two or three months, just such a batch of goods.
After receiving the report from his subordinates, the shopkeeper of the big commercial bank immediately waived the fee.
The big business houses in this time and space have not had time to degenerate into taking advantage of others without forcing their faces, face is very important, if they are scolded by people every day because they have saved money, they have to pretend not to care, and they will die.
The man who took care of the dock couldn't understand that if they were really befriending officials, the gifts should be given to private individuals.
This is easy to understand, where are the people who do business who do not make friends with officials?
But they turned out to be a public send-off, and they presented a batch of cement to Tonghui Helangzhong!
This object is really easy to use, and according to the way they use it, this dock is very quick to repair.
After the Tonghui River Langzhong tried it on the dock, it really worked, the official dock he managed changed from the tattered in the past and became more regular, and the road for transporting grain was much smoother than in the past.
Tonghui Helang Zhong received a commendation from his superior, Cao Yuntong, and gave him a rating.
Tonghui Helang did not forget his merits and recommended the businessman of Qingfeng Shop to his superiors.
After receiving the merchant, Cao Yuntong immediately felt that the merchant was full of enthusiasm for effectively loyalizing the Qing Dynasty, and he took the initiative to offer valuable goods.
Cao Yuntong judged to be overjoyed, so he called it the high string of the world.
The merchants of Qingfeng Shop said that they could buy a large amount of cement at a low price, and they could also transport more dexterous and practical dock equipment.
According to the merchant, these are good things that will speed up the transportation of the docks!
I really think about what I think in the Qing Dynasty, and I am anxious about what I am anxious about in the Qing Dynasty-
The Cao Yuntong judgment was even more moved, and he approved his loyalty.
Zhangjiawan Guanjia Wharf has become more flexible day by day, and grain transportation has been rapid, and Caoyuntong has been rated at the end of the year.
Of course, Cao Yuntong did not forget what he had done, he gave a lot of Qingfeng shops on Caoyun, and even in order to speed up their cement delivery, many of their transport ships could play the banner of Qingfeng, which could not be inspected, and there was no charge after borrowing the official wharf, and they could dock directly.
The banner of the breeze shop looks happy, a big clear word, with a beautiful wind word, there are bat graphics in the four corners, but the bat is a bit like a mouse.
However, bats were originally made by rats stealing salt, hehe.
Tonghui River is the last link from the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to the capital.
The lower reaches of the Tonghui River basically run through the soft soil stratum, which is washed by water every day, and it is easy to lose water and soil.
Moreover, its river surface is narrow and the water depth is not enough, so its ability to pass guò is weak, and it can transport up to 20,000 stone of grain per day.
This is why although there is a Tonghui Canal, it is still necessary to overhaul the granary in Zhangjiawan, and at the same time use land to transport grain.
This grain transportation has always been a big problem.
The merchant offered a four-wheeled carriage.
It's a great item for transporting grain!
Cao Yuntong's judgment was clear at a glance-
The merchant kindly reminded at the time:
"My lord, this is a very convenient way to transport food. However, it requires that the roads be smoother, and even some buildings in the Lu rice warehouse, the upper and lower rice warehouses in the capital must be changed, otherwise, it is still inferior to the two-wheeled carriage. ”
Cao Yuntong laughed, this businessman is not a mixed officialdom after all.
In normal times, everyone can work on each other's faults, but if the problem of food delivery can really be solved, everyone rushes to do this work, because the results are immediate.
Cao Yuntong said: "Don't worry, such a good thing, I will go up with a statement, that is, it is okay to pick up private houses and official houses." You really love my Qing Dynasty string height! ”
The merchant immediately knelt down respectfully and bowed his head in a proper manner.
He knelt down and said, "Without me Daqing, where would I and others still have a way to live?" ”
Cao Yuntong was a little embarrassed when he heard this, what he said, right?
But where did he dare to say a word? Even said, yes, yes, yes!
The road from Zhangjiawan Wharf to the capital began to be built at that time.
Sure enough, as Cao Yuntong said, the higher-level department was very happy, and immediately gave a reply: big construction, special construction, good construction. That's what it means.
Because of the attention, the road was built quickly, and the three-fold soil of the water was compacted.
Important places are also supplemented with cement.
This road can be connected to four large carriages in parallel!
All the way to the capital!
In the capital, some houses that obstructed the road were stripped away, and a stream of bluestone was paved.
The merchant visually surveyed the width and flatness of the road and felt that he had completed his task.
The exemplary minister of the security intelligence department of the Hantang Group gave them instructions to find a way to push the Tartars to do the basic construction of the wharf and roads from the side, and the cost is not necessary to consider.
This is of course, in the future, the Hantang Group will come, doesn't it have to be repaired?
The merchant took one last look at the docks and the road.
He felt that the equipment on the dock would have no problem swinging two cars at the same time, and in addition, the road could also run two cars in parallel.
Two roaring cars suddenly appeared in his mind, spraying bullets and rushing into the capital without mercy!
But there are still many tasks.
That businessman is going to open a branch in Tianjin soon, and the business is booming.
When the businessman came to say goodbye to Cao Yuntong, Cao Yuntong immediately felt reluctance in his heart.
What a good businessman this is, why did he go to Tianjin? How nice it would be to stay here and help me.
But the businessman valued profit over parting, and this guy insisted on leaving.
Cao Yuntong finally said helplessly: "If your master's family insists on you going to Tianjin, it doesn't matter, I have friends there, I can repair a book for you, and I will have a care when the time comes." ”
The merchant said in his heart, you have spent almost 100,000 horses on your personal goods, and you have obtained this thin letter!
But that's fine, so it's easy to work there.
