Chapter 478: The best express brother in the Great Song Dynasty
Shandong is not the same as it used to be, thanks to the blessing of the Great Song Bank, now Shandong is setting off a tide of doing business or working, and those who have a few acres of land at home can go to the Great Song Bank to mortgage the capital of a business, and those who know a few skills can easily find a high-paying job.
As a result, the Shandong Chamber of Commerce has become the number one local chamber of commerce in the Great Song Dynasty, not only in Shandong, but also in Bianjing, Hebei, Huaijiang, Jiangnan and other places now have branches of the Shandong Chamber of Commerce.
Relying on the chamber of commerce and the bank, Wu Zhi has long been the top figure in the business world of the Great Song Dynasty, and if Wu Zhi stomps his feet, the prices of all walks of life and even daily necessities in the entire northern Song Dynasty will fluctuate.
This kind of thing is too simple, for example, Wu Zhi wants to raise the price of wheat in the north this year, he has many methods, the lowest means is to hold a meeting of the Shandong Chamber of Commerce, everyone communicates, understand the meaning of Wu Zhi, and then, the grain industry bigwigs will prepare to raise the price.
Wu Zhi holds the financial industry, and no one in the entire chamber of commerce dares not to give Wu Zhi face.
Of course, there is also a more clever method, that is, Wu Zhi gives those grain merchants more loans and lower the interest on the loans, and they have sufficient funds in their hands, so they will naturally buy a large amount of grain and transport it to places where there is a shortage of grain to make profits, and the price of grain will naturally rise.
However, Wu Zhidang's president of the Chamber of Commerce and the big boss behind the bank have always been very low-key, and he has never stomped his feet, so except for the insiders of the Chamber of Commerce, the outsiders and ordinary people have not realized Wu Zhi's terrifying energy.
In short, the life of the people of Shandong is getting better and better, soybean oil was the first to be popularized in the homes of ordinary people in Shandong, and people often said that "firewood, rice, salt, sauce and vinegar tea" have also been upgraded to "firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar tea" and the popular saying in later generations.
Even the most inactive people can find a job, commute to and from work on time every day, receive the same fixed salary as officials every month, and can eat stir-fried food every day, and live an ordinary and comfortable life, so the number of people who mix black and Taoist has been greatly reduced.
Shuibo Liangshan is the black \\ Taoist force of the Great Song Dynasty, and the people gathered there are all lawbreakers, about half a year after Wu Yong left Shuibo Liangshan, the loss of personnel in Liangshan is becoming more and more serious, except for some people who are still wanted by the government, there are basically not many people left.
As long as there is one person, the name of Liangshan's heroes robbing the rich and helping the poor cannot be reversed.
But.........
Who's rich in Shandong? Whose poverty is it for? Whose way is it?
The richest thing in Shandong now is the Wuzhiwu official who has a lot of friendship with their Liangshan heroes, and Song Jiang is also one of the richest people in time, and their former brother Wu Yong is also wealthy!
Well, even if you don't rob these related households, rob other rich people.
But the problem comes again, all the rich people in the state capitals of Shandong are members of the Shandong Chamber of Commerce under the jurisdiction of Wu Zhi, unless they are really traitors and evil people, otherwise, the heroes of Liangshan rob them is not to give Wu Zhi face, not to give Wu Zhi face, not to give Song Jiangwu face, not to give them these people face, that is, not to give face to Wu Song, the second route transport envoy and Dingyuan general who holds 100,000 heavy soldiers and has great military achievements.........
Chao covers them with the most righteous spirit, so they basically haven't robbed the rich families in Shandong.
Even if it is robbed, who will it be used to help? Shandong is now developing commercially, there is a large shortage of labor, and there are not many poor people.........
Therefore, the heroes of Liangshan couldn't do the way for the sky, and when they were most depressed, Chao Gai organized the three Ruan brothers and the red-haired ghost Liu Tanghei Whirlwind Li Kui to engage in fishing work to make a living...... Fortunately, the water and water are beautiful and the fish are fat, and they are not hungry after all.
At the beginning, it was Song Jiang and Wu Yong who first learned about the difficulties of the group of people in Shuibo Liangshan, and they did not hesitate to take out part of their family wealth to fund Liangshan, and even found Wu Zhi to find a way.
According to Song Jiang's meaning, he wanted Wu Zhi to help Liangshan's gang restore their innocence by using the method of whitewashing their identities for himself and Wu, and then use Chao to cover their abilities, and it was more than enough to join the army and join Wu Song as a small captain.
In this regard, Wu Zhi and Wu Yong did not think so, because Chao Gai's crime was just a robbery of property, and it did not hurt anyone, and it was easy for Wu Zhi to let them join the Qingzhou Army with a little operation; But now there is a Li Kui in Shuibo Liangshan, he has killed the murderer who was full of captains in the dynasty, and a group of "royal cat" guards in Kaifeng Mansion are trying to catch him.
Li Kui's crime Wu Zhi can't wash it away even if he has the means to go through the sky, of course, as the mastermind behind the scenes, he will not help Li Kui clear his name.
And with the character of Chao Gai and others, since they have accepted Li Kui, they will not leave Li Kui to accept Wu Zhi's help, so this method will not work.
Later, sure enough, Song Jiang wrote to Chao Gai and others to ask them what they thought about whitewashing, and their answer was that they would not leave their brother Li Kui.
This kind of righteous qi Wu Zhi didn't understand at all before he crossed over, but now he knows that there is that kind of righteous qi between men and men...... At least in the Great Song Dynasty, there were!
Although Chao Gai and their righteousness would rather defend Liangshan, but the embarrassment of their lives has been known to Wu Zhi, and Wu Zhi naturally can't ignore it, after all, they are all well-known heroes, and because they have poached Song Jiang and Wu Yongcai, they are so miserable, Wu Zhi plans to pull them along.
First of all, the positioning of the heroes of Liangshan is still the underground illegal organization of the Great Song Dynasty, that is, the gangsters.
Since it is a gangster, it must be developed according to the way of the gangster, the gangs of the Song Dynasty and the later generations are different, the later gangs rely on pornography, gambling and drugs to make a fortune, and in ancient times there was no drugs, Huang is a serious government-run enterprise, and the general gangs are rich by gambling, robbery, human trafficking and darts.
The core value of the heroes of Liangshan is to do the right thing for heaven, and naturally they will not engage in gambling and human trafficking, and in "Water Margin", they are all robbing the Song Dynasty.
Now the robbery is naturally impossible to do, so Wu Zhi chose the last way for Liangshan - to open a dart game!
Dart has always been an indispensable force in the rivers and lakes, and it is a big force!
In the rivers and lakes, the dart bureau is stronger than the sect, the sect generally occupies a mountain, such as Wudang Shaolin, and the dart bureau for the convenience of darts, almost every large state capital has their branches, which are mixed, all kinds of capable people, and the darts have a lot of income, and the financial resources are also not to be underestimated in the major rivers and lakes.
Generally, those who dare to open a dart game must have the support of the gangsters behind them, which is almost well known to everyone in the Great Song Dynasty, even if the background of the big shopkeeper of the dart game is clean, then there must be unclean black forces behind him.
For example, the Cao Gang in the south of the Yangtze River, the Camel Gang in the Western Regions, and the Horse Gang on the Song-Liao border...... These gangs all made their fortunes on dart games.
A dart game without a gangster background can't be opened at all, because the dart you bet on may be robbed by someone as soon as it leaves the city.
If you want to play a good dart game, you must have a good relationship with the dart robber...... This kind of cat-and-mouse cooperative relationship is inconceivable, but the reality is like this, just think about the future generations, but anyone who can trample on the law at will must have a lot to do with the defenders of the law.
