Sighing, according to Wu Chaoyue's request, Liu Lichuan still sent someone to organize the dock workers controlled by the Double Knife Society to gather next to the British ship, and also left enough manpower to protect Wu Chaoyue and Luo Weilin and other foreign priests, Wu Chaoyue took these foreign priests forward with a sad face to prepare a lecture, but more than 20 foreign priests were all elated, gearing up, and couldn't wait to discuss spreading those Bible quotes to the dock workers.

After more than 200 dock workers controlled by the Double Knife Society gathered as required, Wu Chaoyue came forward and told these dock workers that they had to learn a Bible in order to take over the business, and also told them what benefits they could get from learning this Bible, and asked these poor dock workers to follow the foreign priests to collectively recite the Bible, and also generously expressed that those who did not want to memorize the Bible could leave immediately - but they would have to go hungry today.

Not to mention, Wu Chaoyue's bad idea at random is really aimed at the weak lifeblood of poor workers, for Wu Chaoyue, it is just a fraction of the pocket money that Wu Jianzhang gave him, and he doesn't feel distressed when he sprinkles it in the water, but for these dock workers who work hard for three meals a day, it is a meat bun or two big steamed buns, plus Wu Chaoyue announced for Liu Lichuan that he promised to exempt today's tap, there is a reason for these dock workers to be unhappy? So before Wu Chaoyue's words were complete, these dock workers were already cheering, and ten thousand were willing.

But there must have been dissenting voices, and soon many dock workers shouted, "Young Master Wu, what do you want us to memorize?" What if we can't learn? ”

Relying on the help of Liu Lichuan and the thugs of the Double Knife Society, Wu Chaoyue finally quieted these gossiping workers again, and then Wu Chaoyue hurriedly shouted: "Hear clearly, it's not that I want you to memorize the Bible, it's the foreigners who want you to memorize the Bible before they give you work, and it has nothing to do with me!" You can also rest assured, it is not difficult to memorize a Bible at all, I will ask Father Yang to read a sentence to you now, do you think it is difficult to learn? ”

After that, Wu Chaoyue hurriedly turned to the foreign priests such as Luo Weilin and Maadox, and asked them to immediately teach these workers a Bible in Chinese, and suggested that they try to choose something simple and easy to remember, so that these workers can taste some sweetness and have a good start. Luo Weilin and other priests were overjoyed when they heard this, and quickly picked out a Bible sentence, and then Luo Weilin, who is fluent in Chinese, came forward and read it aloud in Chinese: "Dear Chinese friends, it is not difficult to memorize the Bible at all, you can hear it clearly - the old should speak first, and the old should teach people with wisdom!" ”

"Did you hear me clearly?" Wu Chaoyue shouted loudly: "As long as you learn this sentence, the work of this foreign ship will be all yours, and no one can take it away!" Read it with me, and the voice will be neater for me - the old should speak first, and the long-lived should teach people with wisdom! ”

In just fifteen words, it is indeed not difficult to memorize, and under Wu Chaoyue's repeated teaching, more than 200 dock workers really recited neatly word by word: "The old should speak first." Shougao should teach people with wisdom! ”

Although many of the more than 200 dock workers were indiscriminate and silent, hearing so many Chinese reciting the Bible neatly, foreign priests such as Luo Weilin and Maddos, who had been in China for more than ten years, were still moved to tears, while drawing crosses on their chests, while constantly thanking the Lord for his omnipotence, in order to make the gospel of the Lord spread rapidly on the land of China, specially created Wu Beyond such a living Chinese treasure - referred to as a living treasure! However, Father Martin and several priests who had also come to China were not satisfied with this, and felt that they should teach these dockers how to draw crosses, and more importantly, they should explain the meaning of the Bible to these dockers, but under the persuasion of other priests who had already suffered enough to preach, Martin and these new priests agreed to go step by step and did not force these dockers to learn too much at once.

"Let's get on the boat and pick up the work!" Seeing that more than 20 foreign priests had already nodded their heads to express their satisfaction, Wu Chaoyue waved his hand to let these dock workers get on the boat, and shouted very hard: "Memorize this Bible, finish the work, and if you can't memorize it when you receive the salary, you will receive a reward of ten cents!" Today's tap is also done! Did you hear me clearly? ”

"Hear me clearly!"

Cheers, more than 200 dock workers controlled by the Twin Knives Society strode onto the boat to pick up the work, and many others remembered Wu Chaoyue's warning, and did not forget to repeat the Bible sentences they had just learned while working. Seeing this scene, of course, the foreign priests such as Luo Weilin and Maadox were so excited that their whole bodies trembled, wiping away tears, and Wu Chaoyue also quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and said secretly: "Fortunately, the beginning was quite smooth, I helped them start, and then there should be nothing to do with me." ”

Wu Chaoyue is relaxed here, but on the other side, Liu Lichuan, the thug of the old Wu family, is worried and constantly observes the movements of the wharf, and the result is not what Liu Lichuan expected, soon, the boss of the Bailong Society, who also makes a living on the wharf in Shanghai, Wang Guochu, as well as the head of the Bird Party and several other small gangs, walked in front of Liu Lichuan together, and Xiao Fujian, the leader of the Bird Party secretly supported by Yuan Zubi of Shanghai Governor, was still smiling with a smile on his face, and said to Liu Lichuan: "Brother A Yuan (Liu Lichuan's name), amazing, In order to eat alone, I invited all the foreigners. ”

"It's none of my business, it's none of my business." Liu Lichuan smiled bitterly and bowed to Luo Weilin and other foreigners, and said in a low voice: "They asked me to do this, and they also invited the young master of the Wu family to come forward, I can't help but give him face." ”

"So, in the future, the life of foreigners will be monopolized by Brother Ayuan and your people?" Wang Guochu, who was mainly a local, asked with a sneer, and the bosses of several other small gangs also sneered, and their smiles were full of bad intentions.

"I didn't mean that." No matter how much Liu Lichuan can fight and cut, he doesn't dare to go against the gangs in Shanghai - Du Yuesheng and Huang Jinrong don't have that ability, so they quickly shook their heads and denied it, and then arched their hands and said: "Brothers, don't get me wrong, today is the beginning, and everything is difficult at the beginning, so I have to come forward to call for it, this boat is unloaded, and there will be another boat next, and the work is still everyone's, according to the old rules." Give face, I'll make amends for my sins another day! ”

After hearing Liu Lichuan's words, Wang Guochu and Xiao Fujian, who had been robbed of their business, were a little angry, and after exchanging a few glances with each other, they all nodded and said, "Okay, since Brother Ayuan is very clear, then we will give you this face, but remember, it's just this boat!" ”

Liu Lichuan breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly sent Wang Guojun and the others away, and then secretly glanced at Wu Chaoyue, who was fighting with foreigners in English, and cried out in his heart, "Little ancestor, don't make trouble, okay?" My Twin Blades Club is mainly based on Cantonese people, and it is difficult for the strong dragon to suppress the head snake in Shanghai, if you really eat alone, other gangs will join forces, and it will be strange if you don't dismantle my Twin Knives Club! ”

The more scared the more ghosts, a British ship has not been unloaded, and another American ship has docked, and the dock workers controlled by other gangs such as the Hundred Dragons and the Bird Party were overjoyed and rushed up to get work, who knew that they had just seen the American flag hoisting on the ship, Martin and two other American priests also rushed up at the same time, shouting English to board the ship, and only then did they say a few words to the American shipowner, and the American shipowner, who was also devout to the Lord, immediately patted his chest and agreed to help, and also did not unload the cargo for the time being, refusing all the work requests of the dock workers, Willing to waste a little time waiting for the designated workers of their compatriots to come on board.

Then, of course, Father Martin and the others rushed back to Wu Chaoyue's side, forcing Wu Chaoyue to shout to the dock workers who had already memorized a Bible: "Brothers, listen, as long as you learn to draw a cross on your chest, read the Bible you just learned, and then draw a cross on your chest with your hands, the business of that American ship will be all yours!" ”

Of course, the dock workers who make a living by selling coolies hope that the more business they have, the better, so after listening to Wu Chaoyue's shouts, the dock workers who are unloading their goods are of course thunderous with joy, and they are more diligent in reciting the Bible sentences they have just learned. However, Liu Lichuan on the other side clearly saw that Wang Guochu and Xiao Fujian and other gang bosses were murderous, and Liu Lichuan naturally complained even more in his heart, "Little ancestor, you killed me!" Your grandfather and I worked so hard to create the Twin Knife Society, if you don't do it, you will lose in your hands! ”

The matter was not over, after a period of time, when another British ship sailed into the port of Shanghai, Luo Weilin and other British priests still only boarded the ship and said a few words of English, and the owner of the ship immediately drove away the other dock workers who were scrambling for work, willing to delay a little time and wait for the workers designated by the native to get on the ship to unload, Wu Chaoyue had no choice but to plead with Liu Lichuan at the request of Luo Weilin and others: "Uncle Liu, quickly find some workers who are willing to memorize the Bible, I heard that there are still a few foreign ships to enter the port, if they all agree to help these foreign priests, I'm afraid you won't have enough people in your hands. ”

"Yes! My little ancestor! Liu Lichuan almost wailed and agreed, and hurriedly called a subordinate who could speak well, and ordered: "Go and tell Wang Guochu that if his subordinates are willing to recite some bullshit, I am willing to give him the job of this new boat!" ”

"Brother Yuan, at the beginning of the kingdom, they left? You don't see it? The subordinate asked suspiciously.

Liu Lichuan was startled, and when he quickly turned his head to look at the dock, he saw that the people of the Hundred Dragons Association of the Kingdom Junior High School had indeed disappeared, and at the same time, the old and small Fujian of the Bird Party, as well as the heads of several other small gangs, Liu Lichuan's heart suddenly seemed to have fallen into the abyss, and secretly screamed: "It's broken!" It's going to be a big deal! ”

Note: Wu Jianzhang's establishment of the Shuangdao Society with Cantonese people as the backbone in Shanghai, and the formation of the Bird Party with Fujian people as the backbone by Yuan Zupi in Shanghai County are both historical facts, and the existence of the Hundred Dragons Society during the same period is not fiction.
