"What? Shut up! ”

Cao Taiyi let out a long howl and covered all the hustle and bustle. The crowd shut their mouths and looked at their helper in unison.

The name Chu Yun Gang was established in the name of two people. Chu, that is, Jing also.

Cao Taiyi, formerly known as Jing Taiyi, was nicknamed Yin Xuanyi. At his peak, his strength was in the third rank of martial arts.

He was wise and heroic. Halfway through the way, he became a salt merchant, built the Chuyun Gang, and assisted the imperial court in reforming the salt industry. Overcome countless difficulties and defeat countless opponents to get the throne of the leader of the salt industry.

Because of the battle of the Huaiyang Canal, it was meritorious to fight thieves and protect the water. Zhang Baigui, the first assistant of the cabinet at that time, personally asked the emperor for credit. He was given the surname Cao and rewarded with six-grade official uniforms. created the most glorious moment of the Chu Yun Gang.

The leaders had no doubt that as long as the gang leader Cao Taiyi was still there, the Chu Yun Gang would not be able to fall!

Jing Song rushed enthusiastically: "Helper, if you want me to say fight with them!" It's not that I'm unjust, it's really the court's injustice!

I waited until the sea, there was money and there were people with artillery. The ocean is the king, and he is at ease, who dares to care? ”

As soon as Jing Song's words came out, some of the leaders were outlaws like him. The expression is ambiguous and quite excited.

"Okay, son, you can go!"

Cao Taiyi said coldly: "I'll leave the words here, as long as you dare to go to sea one step, I, Cao, will dare to personally take your head and sacrifice to the sky!"

Jing Song lowered his face and bowed his head.

Cao Taiyi continued: "And you too.

Besides, this kind of bastard thing that heaven and earth do not tolerate, or want to do bastard things that are not as good as animals. The whole gang can be punished! ”

Qing Pingzi thought for a moment and took the lead in saying: "Helper, you have a good plan, and the poor road will resolutely follow, and there is no other word!" ”

The leaders responded: "We will follow, and there will be no two words!" ”

Cao Taiyi sat down slowly, with a tired face: "The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach." See the situation clearly and follow the trend.

I'm tired, and I can't take Chu Yun to help me. But fortunately, my son Cao Shi grew up quickly.

He has found a way to save the gang, and the new gang leader is confident about what the gang will do next.

Remember: Even if a strong man breaks his wrist, the loss is huge. But as long as the Chu Yun Gang does not disperse and everyone works together, there will still be a day to rise. ”

Qing Pingzi glanced at Cao Shi and said respectfully: "Poor Dao is willing to hear the good advice of the new gang leader!" ”

The leaders looked at each other for a moment, and they also bowed in unison: "I wish to hear the good plan of the new gang leader!" ”

Cao Shi was moved, knowing that his father's operation was to give him prestige.

Holding his fists and saying warmly: "Cao Shi is young and talentless, thanks to the attention of his father and uncles and brothers, he can only die with his dedication to his own gang!" ”

He took a deep breath and said loudly, "Uncle Zhang, please, Mr. Zhang." ”

On the first floor of Juxian Building, behind the stage.

"Dad, you are sweating profusely, your face is so bad, are you sick?" Ma Xiaohu asked with concern.

Juxian Building has three floors. There is a large stage in the lobby on the first floor, where performances are performed for everyone's entertainment. Guests on the second and third floors can also watch from the corridor seats.

After a busy day, it is rare to have a moment of rest. Ma Xiaohu talked about today's events, and he actually earned two taels of silver when he heard it, and Le Baikou and Leping were both very happy.

"Hey, I'm old, I can't bear it with a little toss!" Robust sighed.

"Dad, I made money today, Lefei's tuition is not worried, you don't have to work so hard!" Leping persuaded.

"Lefei's tuition is settled, and your marriage money?"

Le Baikou glanced at the mediocre eldest son, and sighed: "It's almost thirty years old and hasn't started a family, so you're embarrassed to be embarrassed." ”

"Daddy...... I want to make money and get married. ”

"When will you make money?"

"This ...... Isn't it a business failure to lose money! ”

Ma Xiaohu smiled: "That is, according to your careful eye of throwing watermelons and picking up sesame seeds, it is not business material!" It's no wonder if you don't lose money! ”

"It's your business, you have nothing to do?" Leping was annoyed.

"Don't worry, I'll go and help after talking to my father."

Ma Xiaohu stretched his waist: "Today, for Lefei's tuition, I almost put my life on the line, you can't let me take a break!" ”

"......" Leping replied speechlessly.

"Big and small eyes, black work is profitable, but there are also many dangers. I've told you so many times, don't do it in the future! ”

Ma Xiaohu perfunctory: "Wealth and danger are sought, aren't we poor?"

Le Ping said coldly: "I don't think it's a problem of poverty, it's your ...... Born to be cheap and look for death!"

Ma Xiaohu squinted: "Are you looking for a fight?"

"Don't argue. This time, Leping was right!"

Le Baikou made a straight face: "Big and small eyes, you are too good." You should know that when something happens to the rich, there is money to settle it. If something happens to you, half of our family will collapse! ”

Ma Xiaohu saw that his father-in-law was concerned, and immediately said: "I know Dad, this time it was a pure accident."

Who wants those people, the dog jumps off the wall in a hurry, and says to do it! But we have blue eyes, and at any time, we can save the day! ”

Leping was dissatisfied: "You are about to blow Lin Yuan into the sky, this is not like what you said!" ”

"There are some things that we have to be convinced! Knowledge is power, that's what he said. What a sense!

You said you should read more books and hide some ink in your belly, so why lose money? With your experience, Lefei's homework must be grasped quickly! ”

Leping blushed when he heard this, and he was about to scold.

"Enough, it's all a family, what are you doing?"

Le Bai's mouth hurt: "I think Lin Yuan is very human...... The appearance of wealth and wealth, the body of martial arts, reasonable manners, and knowledge. Big and Small, who do you think he is? ”

"Daddy, you ask me? In your commentary, there are so many stories of the children of the family living in the rivers and lakes, can't you push it back? ”

Ma Xiaohu squinted: "Didn't he say that he came from overseas?" Knowledgeable and reasonable, certainly not a pirate.

He was very unfamiliar with the rivers and lakes, the aristocracy and the business situation, and was obviously not a person in this circle. But I think his boxing skills are similar to military boxing, and I'm afraid it has something to do with Jiangmen. ”

Leping didn't believe it: "It's so lofty, and you will also be the door?" Hmph, why don't you say that he is the illegitimate son of the third young marshal?"

"Huh? You have a point!"

Ma Xiaohu exaggerated: "Young Marshal Ma Liang is impossible, maybe he is the son of Dongfang Lei Huo or Li Feihu?"

Le Ping smiled angrily: "The nine-sided town is 108,000 miles away!"

"At such an age as Qi Laohu, he was still transferred from Jizhou to Guangzhou!"

"How can Blue-eyed compare with Grandpa Qi?"

"This is strange, why can't you compare with Grandpa Qi? You are still a storyteller, don't you know that the prince and prince would rather have a kind? ”

"Don't quarrel with ...... if you don't agree"

Le Bai sighed: "What is Lin Yuan doing?"

"The first floor runs the hall! He, rotten grass carp, tranquility on the first floor. I was on the second floor with the toad. Two Dai Da Niu in the back kitchen. ”

"Whew!"

Leping shook his head disdainfully: "It's still smart, the oil and water must be the back kitchen at most." How tiring it is to run the hall, one accidentally offends a nobleman, waiting for bad luck! ”

"Hey, hey!"

Ma Xiaohu didn't argue with him, and smiled obliquely.

Juxian Building is three floors high, from top to bottom, divided into heaven, earth and man building, and the guests entertained on each floor are distinct.

The third floor of the sky tower is mostly the nobles and high-ranking officials of the Southern Capital. The second floor is mostly famous families, business tycoons and talented people.

As for the first floor, they are not noble, not powerful, not rich, they are all people who are good friends with the Chu Yun Gang. In addition to the gang and allies, squires, traders, ranger scholars...... Varied, with the largest number of people.

Lin Yuan naturally wanted to go to the Tianlou Running Hall, but he was directly rejected.

The restaurant running hall is also divided into high and low, and the high-end running hall all goes to the sky tower to serve. The outside helpers were led by Brother Shun of Juxian Lou and called in the human building.

"Lin Yuan, add tea to the three tables, dried fruits to the five tables, fresh fruits to the six tables, and bowls and chopsticks to the nine tables......"

"Good!" Lin Yuan, who was holding a plate with both hands, responded.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Brother Shun himself was busy sweating.

I specially recruited a lot of cheap helpers today. Don't look at the big men who are all as strong as oxen, the real top is this Lin Yuan brother. There is work in the heart, the eyes are fast, and the hands are fast, and the hands are very fast.

Look at these stupid rammers who hate to use their heads, and said impatiently: "You are a tall man, and your hands and feet are sharp!" ”

On Mrs. Cao's first birthday, the five major restaurants in the southern capital held a banquet at the same time. Juxian Tower belongs to the ancient Qinhuai of ten miles, and the magnates are especially concentrated.

Lin Yuan speculated that since Brother Shun was in charge on the first floor, he must be familiar with the celebrities who came to the meeting, so he stuffed him with copper plates in advance.

said that the villagers entered the city, hoping to see more of the world, and annoyed him to introduce the nobles among the guests when he had time.

- Jiangnan three crocodiles, Shen Xianche, Xia Shanhu, and Bu Fuen have arrived!

——Two Huai Salt Gang, Zhuang Jinnong, Yuan Bao, and the White, Red, Pink, and White Rouge gang leaders have arrived!

——Canal Cao Gang, Chu Da, Monk Cao, and Youdao people have arrived!

——Five bamboo dart bureau, Xiao Zhongrong, Xiao Zaimao each dart head arrived!

——Famous upstarts, Su Jiayi, Liu Wu, Yu Liqing, He Dongxu and other little heroes have arrived!

There are many distinguished guests of all sizes, and they have arrived.

Although he was busy, Brother Shun probably introduced that Lin Yuan used his brain to grasp the key points and also wrote down a lot of characters. I am even more curious about Cao Taiyi, the salt faucet.

Unconsciously analyzed it with a heroic view of history in my mind......

The concept of heroic history, also known as the thinking simulation of great heroes. It was my father who was inspired by it and put forward a utopian theory.

Over the past thousand years, the times have changed, science and technology have progressed, but people's hearts have never changed.

Dad once joked that there are words in China that can be tested for 3,000 years of history, and the heroes who stand at the apex. The right and wrong decisions of their decision-making, progress and limitations, all have similarities.

In this way, when analyzing historical issues, it is necessary to understand the experiences and social backgrounds of the characters. Combined with the circumstances and choices of similar characters in a certain period, we can simulate and infer many interesting causes and effects and details.

It is wise to read history. Dad also believes that this technique can make people feel heroic and understand the world. It can also inspire and guide one's own life journey.

Of course, this theory is too abstract and emotional.

After all, the bodhisattvas in everyone's hearts are different. Faith is spiritual, and unbelief is mysterious. And it has to be built on profound knowledge (originally set for scholars like Mom), which is too difficult for ordinary people.

Although my dad emphasized its joking nature, my mother, who is a scholar, took it seriously.

As a son, Lin Yuan naturally believes it.

He was seriously ill at an early age, and when he was bored at home, he read some materials, which made his miscellaneous knowledge very rich.

Lin Yuan knew how important the salt tax revenue, which accounted for more than half of the state's taxes, to the imperial court. No wonder Mrs. Cao set up a banquet, and the nobles from top to bottom came to cheer. Merely......

It's cold in the heights!

Lin Yuan pondered: When the water is full, it overflows, and the tree attracts the wind.

And Shinong businessmen, businessmen are the cheapest. Especially the big businessmen and wealthy merchants, according to the thinking of the rulers, are fattening livestock.

For thousands of years, the monopoly system of salt and iron has been prevalent in all dynasties. Therefore, the big salt merchant must be linked to the imperial court, and in secret, I don't know how many pigtails were caught.

Now that the political situation is unstable, the Chu Yun Gang is conceited of wealth, extravagant, and has no one in their eyes...... I'm afraid of disaster!
