Since he knew that Wang Bo had gone to Changbai Mountain and fallen into the grass to become the king of the mountain, Cheng Biting Jin's calm heart lake was also boiling, and people like Wang Bo who were full of bookishness went up the mountain to rebel and dominate the party, how could he be embarrassed to rest at home!

But now at this time, it is not to learn from others to rebel and claim the king's hegemony, you must know that from ancient times to the present, every time the dynasty is changed, all the guys who stand up early to show their intentions in the ninth five years will die faster than others, and the territory and even the beautiful daughter-in-law who have worked hard for freedom are all cheaper than others.

Although it is said that the rebels are now known as millions of people, but there are a few people who can laugh at the end, and now in this chaotic situation, it is most suitable to fish in troubled waters and take advantage of the chaos.

If you want to fish in troubled waters and make profits in chaos, there is nothing more than making war money. Now that the smoke is everywhere, the local governments are tired and busy with suppression, so they naturally ignore other aspects of management.

Just like the salt seller, all the acts related to salt, from production to sale, have always been controlled by the imperial court, and private individuals are not allowed to interfere. Although Cheng Biting Jin had secretly sold a few times of illicit salt in the past, it was all a petty fight and could not be put on the table, and now the world is so chaotic, if you don't take the opportunity to get his vote, wouldn't you be very sorry for Yang Guang, who caused the current situation.

In order to be able to sell illicit salt on a large scale, from the Township Protection Group, Cheng Yanjin gathered more than a dozen bold and careful young offspring and set up a gang, calling himself the Salt Gang, so as to facilitate the large-scale sale of illicit salt.

In fact, there are many people like him who do this, after all, there are many ruthless people who want money and don't want to die these days. The proposed dock they rented for cargo was owned by a local salt gang called the Haisha Gang. It's just that others are not as arrogant as him. Dare to have the word salt in the name of the gang. If Cheng Biting Jin in the Taiping Era would not dare to do this no matter how bold and reckless he was, so that the carriages and horses were clear to people at a glance, wouldn't he tell the government clearly that I was selling illicit salt and came to arrest me!

It's just that now the government is busy fighting the rebellion, and the doppelganger lacks skills, and with Cheng Biting Jin's cultural level, he has thought a lot of good names like Sihaitang, Qingzhu Gang, and Red Flower Society, but he either has the same name as the gangs on the rivers and lakes, or the names he came up with are considered too sissy by the gang of bosses below.

Cheng Yanjin thought about it, the name of this gang doesn't need to be so particular about the connotation, anyway, most of the people who come out to mix in the rivers and lakes are rough people, and they are not like those who are full of mouths like those who read with a little ink on their chests, they are all open-mouthed old men, shut up grandpa, so there is no need to put so much effort into it, it is better to simply call it the salt gang, so that people can understand at a glance that this group of people is selling illegal salt.

After several risky transactions, the Salt Gang grew rapidly. There's no way, I don't know if I don't do it, I'm shocked when I do it, this sale of illicit salt is really profitable! If you have some money in your hand, you naturally want more money! It's all the fault of greed, pinching a large handful of silver tickets in his hand, Cheng Biting Jin thought helplessly.

So, in just two months, the number of people in the Salt Gang increased rapidly, and in the end, Cheng Yanjin actually brought in the entire Township Protection Group, so that others no longer called the Township Protection Group, but changed their name to Cheng Jiading. Now that others have changed their words, Cheng Yanjin simply tore off the fig leaf and openly let these people take care of the family and the hospital in his new mansion.

In order to facilitate management and motivate the self-motivation of gang members, according to the composition structure of the gangs on the rivers and lakes, Cheng Yanjin, as the founder and leader of the Salt Gang, made a new division of the Salt Gang, and set up four major branches of Qinglong, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu.

Among them, the Qinglong branch hall has Cheng Yanjin as the hall master, and the people in the hall are mainly composed of some reliable young people who are from the same Cheng clan as him. These people don't go out on missions on weekdays, but stay in Cheng Yanjin's newly started mansion and are taught martial arts by a few hired Jianghu experts.

It only appears when the Salt Gang encounters the moment of life and death or when Cheng Biting Jin wants the Yin people. Cheng Yanjin knows that with the rapid expansion of the Salt Gang, the composition of the members of the gang is complex, and only by mastering this relatively loyal and reliable powerful force can he ensure that he sits firmly in the position of the leader of the Salt Gang, and at the same time, this Qinglong branch is still used to ensure that he can make a comeback once something happens.

The White Tiger Branch is responsible for escorting and protecting the illegal salt trafficking. And the people in this White Tiger Branch Hall are also the armed forces of the Salt Gang in the open, and he and the Qinglong Branch Hall are bright and dark, constituting a constituent force to protect the Salt Gang. Such a division is just a subconscious self-protection behavior in Cheng Yanjin's heart. He has always been used to being yin, so naturally he doesn't want to capsize in the gutter.

Besides, if there is an unlucky ghost who wants to annex the Salt Gang, I believe that the men and horses hidden in the shadows will definitely be able to catch the enemy by surprise. There are new gangs born every moment on the rivers and lakes, but there are gangs that are either annexed or collapsed every minute, so it is not prudent to bite the gold, the rivers and lakes are not so easy to mix, be careful to sail the boat for ten thousand years!

The Suzaku branch is responsible for spying on secrets and inquiring about news. Whether it is wandering on the rivers and lakes, or fighting hard in the business field, with the secret information provided by the Suzaku Hall, the Salt Gang can understand which road is safer to take, and which direction to go can make more money.

And this Suzaku branch is also the branch that has received the most action funds. Of the pure profits of the Salt Gang every month, fifty percent of them are divided by everyone, and of the remaining fifty percent, two percent are allocated to the Vermilion Bird Hall, and the remaining thirty percent are equally divided by the three halls of Qinglong, White Tiger, and Xuanwu. Of course, what is the net profit announced every month is naturally up to Cheng Da's helper.

The Xuanwu branch is responsible for finding the origin of the illegal salt, as well as searching for buyers to sell the illegal salt. Most of the people in this branch are middle-aged, and most of them have several years of business history or have been apprentices, and there are many illegal salt dealers like Cheng Yanjin did before, in order to use these people's connections to better serve the gang and make the illegal salt business bigger and stronger.

Among these four branches, in addition to the Qinglong Branch, which is personally in charge of Cheng Yanjin, the White Tiger Branch, a pair of brothers Tang Guoren and Tang Guoyi, who recruited him, served as the hall master and deputy hall master. These two brothers were born in the Tang family in Sichuan, the head of the Eight Great Strange Sects. In order to recruit these two people, it took Cheng to bite the gold a lot. You must know that these two people were born in a famous martial arts family in the rivers and lakes, although they are not descendants of the Tang family, but they are not comparable to ordinary people in the rivers and lakes.

At first, Cheng Yanjin just hired these two people to protect his goods, just like hiring two dart masters. After going back and forth several times like this, it was found that the two of them were extremely envious of the profits earned from selling illicit salt, and they were moved, Cheng Yanjin hurriedly asked the two of them to join the Salt Gang at the right time, and promised to give them a certain percentage of the annual share, so the two brothers put down their shelves and joined the Salt Gang.

In good conscience, the kung fu of these two people can only be regarded as a first-class player in the rivers and lakes at most, not the top, that is, Cheng Biting Jin can easily clean them up in a one-on-two situation, although the Tangmen secret weapon is known for being fast, accurate, and ruthless, but if the two brothers fight with Cheng Biting Jin, they are afraid that their fingers have just moved, and before they have touched the edge of the hidden weapon, Cheng Biting Jin's axe will be cut on their heads.

And the reason why Cheng Yanjin is willing to spend such a big price to keep them is because of the origin of these two people. The hidden weapon style used by their brothers is the only one in the rivers and lakes, and there is no semicolon, as long as it is revealed, others will know that this is a child of the Tang family, and they will naturally have scruples about it.

Anyway, when he first pulled these two people into the gang, Cheng Yanjin made up his mind in his heart, every time he had a relatively large business, he would let the two brothers go out, and it would be good if nothing happened, but if something happened, as long as he sent the news of the death of these two people to the Tang Gate, with the Tang family's character of revenge, he would definitely make those who dared to kill people and sell goods worse than death.

The hall master of the Vermilion Bird Branch is a cousin of Cheng Yanjin's own family, and the importance of this branch is no less than that of the Qinglong Branch. He is not able to reassure him, and he is not at ease when he is capable. In desperation, I found a barely qualified person from the Cheng clan to stand up to it first.

As for the Xuanwu Branch, although the position of its hall master is not important, the hall master himself is extremely mysterious, even the hall masters of the White Tiger Branch Hall and the Vermilion Bird Branch Hall do not know who the hall master of the Xuanwu Branch Hall is. In fact, in the entire Salt Gang, except for a few limited deacons in the Xuanwu Branch, only Cheng Yanjin knew who the hall master of the Xuanwu Branch Hall was. The reason why this hall master of the Xuanwu branch is so mysterious is because his identity is too special, and if it leaks out, the consequences are unpredictable.

The hall master of this Xuanwu branch is the county magistrate of a county in the south of the Yangtze River, and Cheng Yanjin is very proud of being able to pull this court official into his gang. This county order is surnamed Qian, and people are like their names, and they regard money as their lives. At the beginning, Cheng Biting Jin turned a blind eye to the behavior of the Salt Gang in order to make this Qian County Commander turn a blind eye, but it really took a lot of silver taels to open his joints.

You must know that although there is a severe drought today, the area south of the Yangtze River, known as the land of fish and rice, has been very little affected by the disaster, so the situation has stabilized, and the local government will naturally have the spare power to crack down on the sale of illicit salt. After several gangs of the Yan Gang were arrested, Cheng Yanjin personally rushed to Jiangnan, that is, in order to rescue those gangsters and to facilitate business in the future, he hit the idea on the parent official.

After learning that this magistrate was immortal, Cheng Yanjin took it from the Yin Ruins, and was given a bottle of the Health and Qi Pills recorded in the "Summary of Alchemy" to this Qian Zhixian, which made him open his mouth and let him go.

And in order to save the huge amount of filial piety every month in the future, and in order to sell the salt gang in the blink of an eye because this bastard who wants money will not accept other people's money, Cheng Yanjin simply moved the idea of taking this county order for his own use. After giving a large sum of silver taels to the wives and concubines of the Qian county order, the county magistrate, who was dizzy by the pillow wind, finally joined the salt gang.

What Cheng Yanjin didn't expect was that this county magistrate really deserved to be an official of the imperial court, and after seeing the large number of private salt in the warehouse of the Salt Gang, it took him a day to contact several wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan and sell the large amount of private salt cleanly.

With such an unexpected surprise, Cheng Yanjin immediately removed the original hall master, let this Lord Qian ascend to the throne, and tied the court official tightly to the chariot of the Salt Gang, and made a fortune at the same time, and at the same time used his relationship with the court and the business world to make a fortune.
