Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 825
The matter of recruiting Jianghu figures was originally Wang Tong's whim. After he came to the capital, he rectified the Jinyiwei's various yamen, and the power in his hands expanded rapidly. What originally required those Jianghu figures to do can already be done by other people.

Compared with those people in the system, the people in Jianghu Green Forest are not so reliable. Yang Sichen knows about the existence of such people, and he once persuaded Wang Tong, saying that such people have risks, so he should be cautious.

Wang Tong also agrees with this judgment. After all, there are too many places that the green forest people cannot control. However, since they are recruited, they must always take care of face and not be chilled.

Wang Tong's method is to take out those who can be taken out separately, take them out separately, let them integrate into the army or various yamen, wash away the old habits, and completely become people in the government, and there is still a class that cannot be washed away I am used to doing things, but I can still do things according to orders, so I can rest assured. This category is used in various business shops, and it can be considered to make the best use of everything.

As for those who can't adapt, they can be raised in various Zhuangzi outside. If they can't bear the loneliness, let them go by themselves without hurting their peace.

Shi Qi’s situation is slightly different from these people. He brought his own team here, and he has a certain strength and status. Asking him to join the army or go to the store will not satisfy him. When the time comes, the friendship will not be accepted. On the contrary, he felt resentment, so he had to put it aside.

But time has passed, I thought that way at the time, but the situation is different now, Wang Tong found out these people again.

These people in the green forest are not favored by the people in the government. When Wang Tong recruits them, Wang Tong will also pay attention to them. These people in the green forest also know this. other way out.

**************
"Hongying, you usually manage the house with Aunt Ma. Madam has no experience. You need to help her more. Here is a banknote of 50 silver. You also have my silver ring. It needs a lot of money. The amount of money is written on the village ticket, stamped with the seal of the silver ring, and brought to the Sanjiang Commercial Bank in the city, and the silver tael will be paid there."

The silver ring is actually a seal, but it is made in the shape of a ring. The banknote that Wang Tong mentioned is not a banknote that is commonly used outside. This banknote is only used in Sanjiang Commercial Bank and Tongmeng Commercial Bank.

The amount of banknotes issued each year is half of the bank deposits of Sanjiang Commercial Bank. The banknotes are printed by the head office, and the banknotes match the seals of several leaders.

Right now, there are only Wang Tong, Cai Nan, Zhang Shiqiang, and Sun Dahai who have this power. Even the big shopkeepers of Sanjiang Commercial Bank have to find them when they want to use it.

"The concubine knows, please rest assured, master."

Zhang Hongying's hands trembled a little when receiving the ring and banknote. What is 50 taels? It is a sum that ordinary people have never thought of. Unexpectedly, Wang Tong just took it out at random.

Seeing Zhang Hongying's careful look, Wang Tong smiled, it's not a bad thing to value money, only when it is important can one be cautious and not waste it, but Wang Tong still has to warn a few words.

"Letting you master money is not to make you frugal. You must spend what should be spent."

Zhang Hongying nodded again, Zhang Hongying's face was full of surprise, obviously she didn't expect Wang Tong to give her such power, she knew that she was a concubine.

In this era, there is a huge difference between wives and concubines. The wife is the head of the family, and the concubine is equivalent to an item. The male is the outsider, and the female is the inside. According to the usual practice, the family's financial rights and the power of employing people are all controlled by Han Xia.

However, Wang Tong gave Han Xia the power to mobilize people, Song Chanchan the power to collect information, and Zhang Hongying the financial power, but he didn't follow the outside rules.

It's weird, but there's a reason for it. Han Xia's elder brother is Han Gang, who is regarded as an effective personal guard general in Wang Tong's army. He has a good relationship with the military. Song Chanchan collected information for Wang Tong and managed one system for several years.

Women who are idle at home and do nothing, especially if they are rich and leisurely, will definitely have trouble. The identities and backgrounds of these three women are all a little special. Any one party is dominant and has too much power, which may affect Wang Tong's entire system. It is not what Wang Tong wants to see.

In addition, it is also necessary for Wang Tong to let his wives and concubines master some hidden powers. After all, there are too many people staring at the strength that people can see from the outside.

Only Wang Tong's inner house can do this kind of thing. If someone else is there, I'm afraid there will be a commotion. Han Xia only has one elder brother, and she is still young, so her knowledge is limited. Song Chanchan felt that she was not worthy of Wang Tong, so she always retreated modestly.

Because of the situation of the three daughters, Wang Tong can distribute power and let them do such things. Wang Tong also finds it funny when he sleeps at night. They are obviously husband and wife, but they make it look like they are in the army and the government. Machinations are really boring.

*************
After finishing the family affairs, it was also July. Emperor Wanli's order to Wang Tong was to go to Jiangnan to investigate the case in mid-July, and it was time to set off.

But since it was confirmed that Wang Tong was going to investigate the case of the Xu family's occupation of land in Songjiang Prefecture, Emperor Wanli was not in a hurry. During this month, whether it was when Wang Tong went to the court or when he called in private, Emperor Wanli never mentioned this matter. Things, and never urge.

Wang Tong understands this attitude, and the courtiers also understand that Zuo Wangtong has already agreed to go to Jiangnan, so the matter of investigating the case of the Xu family in Songjiang is not so important.

"Xu Jie has made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, and his connections in the government and the public are even more profound. When you go to Jiangnan to investigate the case, you don't have to go too deep into it. It's the meaning."

Even Emperor Wanli said this, everyone knows how to investigate this case, just hold it up high and let it fall gently.

Emperor Wanli's attitude towards Wang Tong changed several times, which made the people below still a little uncertain. At the beginning of July, some people also went to the public, saying that Tianjin Wei is now a key place, but in essence it is equivalent to military management. Tongzhi has very little authority and is irrelevant. This is inconsistent with the imperial court system. Please ask the imperial court to set up Zhili Prefecture in Tianjin Wei.

The censor of Shangshu was dismissed from his post and exiled the next day, and the crime was quite serious - "unpredictable intentions" and "disaster and chaos", and the place of exile was Liangzhou Wei.

No one expected that the punishment would be so severe and so fast, and even the usual support from officials and Qingliu could not be organized in time.

Everyone was unexpected, because the content of this memorandum was not so serious at all. Even if it was wrong, it was nothing more than staying or reprimanding, but it would never be assigned to Liangzhou Wei. Who was this punishment for? Zhang Juzheng didn't go to Ding You to guard the system, but was deprived of love by those officials.

Such severe treatment also shows a problem. Emperor Wanli may want to compensate Wang Tong, or he has confirmed Wang Tong's loyalty, so he must believe it unconditionally.

Not only for this, after Jin Yiwei's commander and acquaintance Ren Datong was dismissed for questioning, and the one left by Wang Tong's promotion, Jin Yiwei suddenly vacated two positions for commander and acquaintance. There are too many officials, but too few positions. There are two vacancies at once, and everyone is jealous.

"Wang Tong's Jinyi army is enough. Two more people will cause more trouble. If you really want to make up, let Wang Tong choose someone to make up for it!"

Emperor Wanli's words showed his trust in Wang Tong. Without the help of two commanders, the Commander of Jinyiwei would indeed be busy, but without restraint, his power would also inflate greatly.

Naturally, Wang Tong would not really not set up a commanding officer, nor would he choose someone to make up for him. He just mentioned his own candidate according to the past practice, and asked Emperor Wanli to judge.

Li Wenyuan, a thousand households of the Department of Public Security, was appointed as the commander of Jinyiwei, and the position of another commander was vacant. Emperor Wanli made this personnel appointment, and this candidate was actually the result of a balance between all parties. Emperor Wanli also won over the battalion of the Huwei Army Officer Li Hutou and Li Wenyuan are people that Wang Tong is familiar with and friendly with, so everyone can accept it.

Also at the beginning of July, there was news from Ji Town on the grassland that the Horqin tribe who had quit Duolun returned again and occupied this land with abundant water and grass again.

In this place to recuperate and recruit small tribes, the Horqin tribe will slowly recover. He was indeed hurt in the confrontation with the army of Liaozhen.

However, Wang Tong went out to occupy Guihua City and wiped out the Alda tribe. Li Chengliang went out to go out with more people than Wang Tong, and he had various conveniences. The result of this battle can be said to be far inferior. , It is self-explanatory what Wang Tong's achievements are.

This kind of comparison is the most speechless. All officials in the government and the public have nothing to say. Previously, the voices of praising Liaozhen's army were much quieter. In this situation, the more you praise Liaozhen, the more you praise Wang Tong. higher.

*************
"Mr. Yang, discuss matters inside and outside the Jinyiwei Yamen more often with Brother Li and Master Lu. They will do their best to help."

"Please don't worry, my lord."

This is already at the boundary of Tongzhou. On the wharf of the canal, Wang Tong was exhorting a group of people to see him off. Over there, Yang Sichen took orders. Here, Lu Wancai said:
"Brother Wang still needs to make up his mind on Jin Yiwei's most important matter. Hurry up and make an urgent contact, and there won't be much time wasted."

Wang Tong smiled and nodded, and Li Wenyuan beside him said in a deep voice:
"My lord, I'm afraid Jiangnan already knows the news that your lord is going. I'm afraid it won't be so smooth for your lord to go."

"It's not that I'm afraid, it must have been known over there."

Wang Tong said with a smile.
