Chapter 43: Thunder and Rain
Unexpectedly, this guy with thief eyebrows and rat eyes would actually be the money catcher of Luoyang City, and he was really unseemly, and Qin Hao had to be a little polite to him.
"Oops, it turns out that the elder brother is actually a money catcher, he is really snubbed and slack, since he is a money catcher, how can he get mixed up with the surname Wei, and the elder brother is also in the way of the eldest brother?"
The scurrying mouse hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Qin Dangjia's words are serious, my brother has been in Luo-Yang for decades, and he has caught up with three natural disasters, all of which are the people of Guanzhong who come to Luo-Yang to eat, and this time the contradiction is the smallest, and there is no conspicuous contradiction on the street, how can my brother not get along with you, but after all, I am the head snake of Luo-Yang, I have to know what is going on, I wanted to mediate and mediate, I didn't want Brother Qin to be so decisive and capable, and before I could make a move, I solved it first, I really was a hero out of a young man, admire, admire." ”
The so-called money catchers are not comparable to ordinary gangsters, whether it is the underworld or the white way, they are all leading figures with heads and faces.
This kind of person is a unique specialty of the Sui and Tang dynasties, and the civil servants of the Sui and Tang dynasties have to take care of a lunch during work, and they have to carry a few catties of mutton and a few horses of silk for the civil servants during the New Year's holidays, and this money will have an independent fund.
But the officialdom does not seem to be a lot of money, and this money is issued once a year, so they simply lend the money out to usury or investment, and when the time comes, the civil servants will eat and drink with interest, and the principal will accumulate year by year, saving more and more.
But the money can not always be operated by the government, so it gave birth to the special industry of the money catcher, the government will give this welfare fee to the money catcher every year, and the money catcher does not care what the government does with the money, but the interest guarantee is a lot, which is a special investment manager in the feudal society.
You must know that the soldiers of the iron battalion and flowing water, after all, there are only a few officials in a yamen, and the officials are the main body of the local yamen, and these welfare money officials are not so important, but it is half a life for these officials, so who will do the money catcher, the general official is not counted, after all, the officials will be replaced after a few years, but the officials are almost all a lifetime, so the county does not care about the money catcher, it is an unspoken rule that the entire Tang Dynasty almost singled out.
Who can be a money catcher? First of all, you have to get the trust of all the officials in the county, at least the trust of the majority, so that everyone on the white road can give you face. Secondly, in ancient times, the investment environment was not very good, and the low risk of income was usury, so you must also play the thief stick on the underworld.
Those who can become money catchers are all black and white, and after becoming a money catcher, it is equivalent to having the support of the entire local yamen, so that the development of their forces on the underworld is more unimpeded.
With such an identity, Qin Hao must be polite to him, otherwise something will happen to the Sky Rats tonight, and tomorrow the entire Luo-Yang will be in a mess.
Qin Hao estimates that on the one hand, he may really want to listen to the news, after all, as a local snake, he must understand clearly that such a big thing happened, and on the other hand, I am afraid that he has the idea of secretly reaching out, hoping that such a big thing is in his own hands, and by the way, see if he can get any benefits.
Qin Hao's eyes turned, and he said: "It's been so long to come to Luo-Yang to meet with the eldest brother, it really shouldn't be, if the younger brother has anything to offend before, please bear with me, Luo-Yang is a treasure land, east to Dengzhou, west to Chang'an, south to Yangzhou, all from our dock, this water is not an exaggeration to say that it flows gold, everyone is harmonious and wealthy, there is money to make together, what is there to discuss in the future, can not use the sword soldiers or try not to use the sword soldiers, let's all take harmony as precious, how." ”
The Sky Rats smiled and raised his wine glass: "Good brother, peace is precious, make a fortune together, I have no opinion, what I hate the most is to fight and kill." ”
Looking at the smiling appearance, he looks like a rich man in the countryside who is kind to others, how can he see that he is a black and white money catcher.
Qin Hao said with a smile: "Then the rat master, let's make up our minds, Luo Yang is here to trouble you to press it, I know that the brothers have been wronged, but harmony, for the sake of the overall situation, I still hope that we can endure it a little, we will not be too much, and when this broken year is over, everyone will work together, I, Qin Hao, promise that I will never treat our old brothers in Luo Yang badly." ”
As he spoke, Qin Hao clenched his fists and arched his hands to the people below one by one, and everyone also stood up with a smile and saluted back.
Everyone is not stupid, now that Wei Fatzi has played himself in, if this fight is fought again, there will be no backing on the white road, and the most important thing is that once the court sends down the wrath of thunder, their scapegoat will be gone, so this battle can actually not be fought.
Qin Hao saluted first and then soldiers, and the effect received was not bad, no one had an accident except for the pimp, otherwise these people would add a piece of tens of thousands of little brothers, enough for him to drink a pot.
The most important thing is that the establishment of the Green Gang in the future, these people, especially the Sky Rats, will be the most important part of the Green Gang.
Picking up the wine glass, Qin Hao said again: "Everyone in charge, for the sake of peaceful coexistence in the future, let's drink a full drink!" ”
Everyone: "Qin is arrogant!" ”
Everyone laughed, after drinking this glass of wine, this incident provoked by Wei Fatzi was at least superficially revealed to each other.
Putting down the empty luminous cup with a bang, Qin Hao said again: "I know, I will have more or less influence on your business, the contradiction between the people of Luoyang and the victims is a big trouble after all, I have a proposal, it's rare that all the bosses are here, why don't we rub a rice ball?" You have one hand, I have one hand, everyone rubs the rice balls big and round, and then eats them together, how about it? ”
The scurry mouse smiled and said, "Qin Dangjia has a business to introduce, you might as well talk about it, don't say anything about sharing food and not sharing food, don't the brothers on the rivers and lakes pay attention to helping each other, where it is useful to the elder brother, the old brother is not to be rejected." ”
Qin Hao laughed and said: "There is really a dumpling to rub, everyone knows that the younger brother is going to hold a charity performance, which is a major event to appease the victims, and I don't want to see any contradictions between the Luo-Yang people and the Guanzhong people at that time. ”
When everyone heard this, they patted their chests and agreed, but Tie Niu was a fool, maybe his brain was too straight, or he was really poor in urine and blood, so he asked directly: "What a big gift." ”
Qin Hao said with a smile: "This Luo-Yang City, there are always rich and unkind people, this is rich and unkind, there are hoarders, after the matter is completed, you will lead the way, let's rob him of three and five, seven of the income will be given to the victims, two will be given to the people of Luo-Yang, and the remaining one will be divided by the masters, and the blame of the government afterwards is all my fault, I will carry it alone when the sky falls, and I will ensure that I can bear it, how about it?" ”
Good guy, as soon as Qin Hao said this, everyone's eyes turned red, including the rat master. Don't look at them as only one percent, but there are few of them, there are nearly one million people in Luoyang, and there are more than 100,000 victims, but how many people are there, if you pick those big robbers, this is going to be sent!
