Chapter 252: Yangzhou's Green Gang
For Li Tai, although Qin Hao is not his own person, he is undoubtedly one of his few friends, and there is still a minimum trust in this, so it doesn't matter to him at all, it's not simple, it's just a little self-confidence.
He believes that Qin Hao's military power must be useful, but he will never pit himself, since this is the case, then give it to him, anyway, he can't bring soldiers, he is not familiar with Xu Jie, but after staying in Luoyang for two days, he has more or less heard a lot of his deeds, and he has a rare good impression of this rough man.
For Li Tai's trust without hesitation, Qin Hao nodded slightly to him as a thanks, and continued: "Lord Yan, please inform the gentry from all over Yangzhou and the domestic servants who come from other places to invest, and tomorrow at noon, His Royal Highness the King of Yue will hold a banquet, I want to get to know them, and during the assembly of the government soldiers, please trouble the county government to work hard to maintain law and order in Yangzhou, okay, I have finished what I want to say, does Du Changshi have anything to add?" ”
Du Chuke's hateful teeth itched, took a deep breath and decided not to pay attention to him, this kid came up and dried up the goods made him very unaccustomed to it, and he was talking nonsense in his stomach and it was not that he didn't say it, and he was so uncomfortable.
Originally, when the new leader took office, today should be a pleasant and pleasant time to get to know each other with cadres at all levels of the county government, get closer to each other, win over the descendants, and show their charm.
In the end, although Du Chuke was uncomfortable, he still had to say depressedly: "No." ”
Li Tai also recovered some of his nature at this time, although he was almost a little hot when he talked about something seriously, but it was no problem to elegantly show the bearing that a prince should have, and he simply said a few words to everyone and dispersed.
When everyone left, everyone began to wander around in this Dadu Governor's Mansion, although Yang Guang said that he was a little tyrannical, his sense of art and taste were still good, and even Li Tai couldn't help but praise the Dadu Governor's Mansion rebuilt by Jiangdu Palace, but unfortunately, Qin Hao couldn't be idle, and he still had to touch the Qinggang in Yangzhou.
Yangzhou was originally an important town of Caoyun, after Qin Hao decided to build a sea ship here, almost all the country's manpower and material resources were inclined to this, and the business of the Qing Gang was naturally more prosperous, after Qin Hao walked into the agreed restaurant, he found that there were many more people than the original Luoyang headquarters.
Not to mention, he really saw several familiar faces, and the first to greet him was his old acquaintance: the Sky Mouse.
"Helper, I haven't seen you for a few months, but I'm getting healthier."
"Master Rat, you're laughing, I'm obviously young, and I'm just growing my body."
In fact, after seeing the Sky Mouse, Qin Hao was also quite surprised, you must know that the shipyard was built in Yangzhou at the beginning to divide his power, but he didn't expect that seeing that the center of gravity of the Qing Gang was difficult to shift, he was so ruthless that he threw away the decades of painstaking management in Luoyang and followed.
The reason why the money catcher is because he is familiar with the land, and the sky rat that has left home is naturally not a money catcher, but because his reputation in the Qing Gang is second only to Qin Hao, he actually mixed up in Yangzhou in just two months, and this ability is indeed unconvincing.
"What's going on at the shipyard right now?"
"It's okay, the Green Gang from all over the world is scraping together, plus the remaining materials in the shipyard, it is barely enough to start work, and some of the old workers who worked in the shipyard have also returned, but these hall masters of our Green Gang are basically squeezed almost now, if the salt you said is not enough, the house will be pressed and the ground will be pressed, and the number of workers in the shipyard is not enough, to build the kind of big sea ship you said, there are not enough tens of thousands of people, although there are many people in the gang, most of them have to float on the water, Now that we have the identity of government soldiers, it is difficult for us to continue to expand our manpower, and now that we have caught up with the autumn harvest, we can't even find temporary workers. ”
Qin Hao nodded, indicating understanding, ignoring the expressions that everyone was looking at him, snapped his fingers and signaled the shopkeeper to hurry up and serve the food.
The eyes of these hall masters are very hot, staring at their bodies as if they are roasted on fire, which is also expected, although he is nominally a gang leader, but in fact, he doesn't even know much about these Yangzhou hall masters, let alone any friendship, the reason why so many people have spent blood to follow him is naturally because of Li Shimin's policy, and secondly, it is Qin Hao's invincible gold hand and the millions of stone salt promised.
If Qin Hao can't come up with a solution to the difficulties, I'm afraid that these hall masters will not only not continue to follow him, but will rush to tear him up, just like during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the generals who can win the battle will support even the recruits, and even force you to be the emperor if you put on a yellow robe, but as long as you lose a battle, you will turn your face and run to the enemy's side, who can win with whom, and completely regard discipline as nothing.
Qin Hao ignored these fiery eyes, and it seemed that he didn't have any meaning to explain, but it was this seemingly indifferent expression that made the Qing Gang feel extra down-to-earth, and many negative emotions of gains and losses were temporarily put down at this moment.
After a while, the restaurant began to serve food, although Yangzhou at this time did not have the Huaiyang cuisine that amazed the world in later generations, but the people from the south and the north gathered together to make the whole city full of wharf atmosphere, so the dishes were moderately sweet and salty, both north and south, Qin Hao ate two bites and found that it was quite delicious, compared to what he ate at his father-in-law's house.
"This year, I helped the princes do business in Luoyang, and I have saved a little property, not much money, but there are still 100,000 yuan, I have entrusted the king of Huai'an to help transport it, it should be enough for us to support for a while, I know your suffering, I can guarantee you, as long as the days of taking money will pass after the autumn harvest."
Qin Hao also knew that such a blank check was of little use, so he raised the wine glass in his hand and said, "I heard that part of our salt pan has been circled, let's go and see our salt together after eating in a while, come, let's do it." ”
Only then did everyone put their hearts at ease, to put it bluntly, they were uncomfortable not seeing those table salts with their own eyes! Especially when almost all of them threw out most of their family property, they are all about to have anxiety attacks, and only table salt is their reassurance.
In fact, it's not just them, the entire Qing Gang is about the same as tens of thousands of people, with salt, they can rise from the lowest level of society to the almost unattainable government soldiers in the eyes of the common people, and if not, this so-called government soldiers is not treatment, but torture.
Qin Hao even doubted that if he couldn't get the salt, he would be torn apart by the angry crowd.
