Early the next morning, Qu Wu came to the dock and saw a large group of Qingyun Gang disciples already waiting at the dock.

Qu Wu stepped forward, and Liu Gang and Li Qianmo led everyone to greet him.

Li Qianmo reported Gongsun Feng's situation to Qu Wu, saying that he was willing to serve as the deputy head of the gang and accept the original dog beating stick.

Qu Wu then handed the copper flute to Li Qianmo and asked him to use it in the ceremony after a while.

Everyone followed Qu Wu to board the Qingyun, Li Qianmo invited Qu Wu to the center of the deck, everyone stood in a circle around Qu Wu, Li Qianmo first introduced the new gang leader to everyone, surprisingly when Li Qianmo announced the start of the ceremony of awarding the dog stick to the new gang leader, the financial director Li Shan held the head of the gang with both hands to beat the dog stick - the copper flute came from outside the circle, and followed Li Shan into the Gongsun Feng who had said goodbye to the brothers on the boat yesterday.

Gongsun Feng came to Qu Wu and said to everyone: "Brothers and sisters of the Qingyun Gang, today is a very special day, we have ushered in a new gang leader with strong martial arts and strength. The reason why my father-in-law Sun Feng gave up the position of gang leader to Mr. Qu is because I think that only under Mr. Qu's leadership can the brothers and sisters of the Qingyun Gang have a better future. ”

"For our Qingyun Gang, a leader with strong martial arts is tantamount to a lion who leads us to move forward bravely and intimidate the enemy, with the leadership of the new gang leader, our Qingyun Gang will be more united and stronger." Gongsun Feng said again.

After speaking, Gongsun Feng took the copper flute from Li Shan's hand and said: "Now, I officially announce to you that this copper flute dog beating stick has become the symbol of the leader of the Qingyun Gang, and Mr. Qu Wu has become the twenty-seventh leader of our Qingyun Gang." Gongsun Feng said, holding the copper flute with both hands and handing it to Qu Wu.

After Qu Wu took the copper flute, Gongsun Feng said again: "Now please ask the new gang leader to speak."

Qu Wu smiled and took the Qingyun Gang holy relic from Gongsun Feng's hand, and after greeting Gongsun Feng, he held the gang leader's copper flute and beat the dog stick, and said to everyone: "Thank you Gongsun Feng for your trust and all the brothers and sisters, I promise you that you will fulfill your duties, improve the self-protection ability of the brothers and sisters of the Qingyun Gang, and safeguard everyone's interests."

After the ceremony, Qu Wu and everyone got off the boat together, Qu Wu showed everyone a set of stick skills and a set of boxing techniques, Qu Wu's martial arts show a dazzling and heroic posture, Gongsun Feng secretly admired.

After the demonstration, Qu Wu dismantled this set of boxing techniques and stick techniques one by one, and patiently taught these Qingyun Gang disciples of Gusu one action at a time, because they were about to set off, worried that there were too many movements and too little time for them to remember, Qu Wu divided the backbone of Gusu's Qingyun Gang into two groups of people, one group of people only learned boxing, and the other group of people specialized in stick skills, each remembering a set of martial arts movements.

After teaching the disciples of the Qingyun Gang martial arts moves, Qu Wu boarded the boat again, and first communicated with Gongsun Feng, and the two divided the labor of the future help, Qu Wu was responsible for the management of people, finance, and materials of the general gang, and Gongsun Feng was responsible for various specific affairs.

Qu Wu and Gongsun Feng gathered the shipwright, the housekeeper, and the maid on the ship to have a simple meeting to learn more about the internal situation of the Qingyun Gang, and arrange to leave Gusu tomorrow to go to Yingdu.

First of all, Li Qianmo introduced the situation of the disciples of the Qingyun Gang in various places.

"Gang leader, you also know that the Qingyun Gang is a gang of beggars with gangs in various countries, with about 500,000 brothers and sisters. Activities in the gang are held regularly by local gangs, usually the gang seems to be loose, each for its own formation, each for its own battle, but once something happens, the gang leader only needs to give an order, seemingly a plate of loose sand, lack of clothes and little clothing beggars can gather armpits into furs, gather sand into towers, or form groups of teams, to deal with strong enemies together. ”

Qu Wu was amazed at the number of beggars, because he remembered that hundreds of years later, during the reign of Qin Shi Huang, there were only about 20 million people, and at this time there were about 500,000 beggars in their gang, which showed how serious the poverty situation was.

"What age group are the main helpers? What makes these people beggars? Qu Wu asked again.

"There are people of all ages, most of them farmers who have lost their land, slaves who have no one to hire, people who have been injured in the war." Li Qianmo replied.

Qu Wu's heart aches, and these socially disadvantaged groups are constantly struggling with life and death.

"What are the activities of the gang?" Qu Wu asked.

"The general gang leader also saw today's activities, the main purpose of the regular activities is to enhance cohesion, so that everyone does not forget that we can twist into a rope to deal with hunger, cold and competition, and also teach some martial arts and begging skills to improve survival ability." Li Qianmo replied again.

"In addition to the Qingyun, does the Qingyun Gang have any other assets?"

"The Qingyun Gang has accumulated some assets over the centuries. There are still some houses and courtyards in Yaoya City, Chaoge, Yingdu and other places, about dozens. Li Shan, the financial housekeeper, replied.

"Oh, who lives and manages these properties?" Qu Wu was a little surprised.

"Most of these houses are rented out to locals, managed by local gang owners, and part of the rent is paid to the general gang owner every year." Li Qianmo replied.

"In addition to houses, are there also fields and the like?" Qu Wu asked.

"There are some fields near Shucheng, Yingdu, and Zhijiang, which are also rented to the locals, adding up to 20,000 mu, and thousands of acres of fish ponds. Li Shan replied.

"What are the income of the general gang and the sub-gang used for?" Qu Wu asked again.

"The income of the general gang is mainly to maintain the daily expenses of the gang owner, and the excess part is accumulated for backup; The same is roughly true for the sub-gangs. Li Shan replied.

Qu Wu thought that the expenses of the general gang were still guaranteed, but it seemed that too little was spent on the beggars.

"How to solve the salary and material supply of the people on this ship?" Qu Wu asked again.

"The personnel on the Qingyun are also members of the beggar gang, it doesn't matter about the salary, but the life is guaranteed, Li Qianmo is not only the head of the shipwright, but also the chief manager of the ship, and he is responsible for the living arrangements. There is a record of expenses on board, which you can look at later. The members of the beggar gang are all over the world, and the Qingyun Gang provides them with basic protection, and the money they beg for is paid to the leaders at all levels according to the basic and voluntary parts, and handed over at all levels to ensure the normal operation of the sub-gangs and the general gang. ”

"What do you mean by basic and volunteering?" Qu Wu asked.

"Basically, it means that the brothers and sisters in the gang will give the excess part to the beggar in charge of him under the condition of ensuring their own survival, and the beggar will take a part and then hand it over to the incense master in charge of them, and the incense master will then hand it over to the gang leader. Volunteering, on the other hand, is to encourage the helper to hand in the excess after the basic handover, which is purely voluntary. Li Qianmo replied.

"What is all the money that each gang has handed over to the chief gang leader for a year? How much does it cost? Qu Wu asked.

"The general gang earns about 1,000 taels of gold a year, in addition to food and other materials, it can be equivalent to 500 taels, and the total expenses are about 1,200 taels." Li Shan replied.

"What do you do with the surplus three hundred taels?" Qu Wu asked.

"The surplus is at the disposal of the general helper." Li Shan replied.

"Oh." Qu Wu was speechless.

"What do you know about the other gangs?" Qu Wu asked.

"Now the beggars in the world are dominated by the three major gangs of Qingyun, Butterfly, and Crescent, and there are many small gangs in various countries, Qingyun is the largest gang, and the Butterfly and Crescent Gang together are not as good as the Qingyun Gang." Li Qianmo said.

"The Butterfly and Crescent Sect also operate in a similar way to the Qingyun Gang?" Qu Wu asked.

"These two factions were split from the Qingyun faction, so they imitated the Qingyun faction in all aspects. The general gang leader of the Butterfly Sect is generally active on the Yellow River, while the chief gang leader of the Crescent Sect is mostly active in the Chu State. Li Qianmo said.
