The common people of China have always been obedient people with strong tolerance, but whenever there is a little way out, they will insist on being cattle and horses, at most scolding Lao Tzu behind their backs, just venting, and will not easily embark on the road of working against the government. But there is also one case that is exceptional, and that is the power of religious belief that can make them great overnight. At this critical moment, a kind of Dongdong called Luojiao quietly spread among the Cao people. I will not explain the origin of Luojiao here, so as not to be misunderstood as promoting feudal superstition, and I dare not do anything illegal. To put it simply, Luo Qing, the ancestor of Luojiao, is a half-human and half-god idol, especially since he was born as a grain transporter in the Ming Dynasty, so he has a sense of substitution. Later, Weng, Qian, and Pan (respected as the first three ancestors by the later Qing Gang) inherited the career of the ancestor Weijing, built a nunnery, ate vegetarian food and worshiped God, and officially founded Luojiao. Because the earliest office of the Luo religion, that is, the nunnery, was built in the place where sailors gathered (today's Hangzhou Beixinguan Gongzhen Bridge area), and took in the old and frail, lonely sailors, and free burial of sailors who could not afford to buy a cemetery, so in the hearts of the Cao people who ran the boat, these three people had a halo on their heads, and more and more converts were believers. From this time, the scattered Cao people gradually began to closely unite around the Luo religion. At this moment, it's time for the inaugural meeting of Caobang Joint Stock Company, right? The truth is, it's still on the way. Don't be busy smashing all kinds of bricks and rotten eggs, you bear with it first, it's fast, because the most critical time has come, when the water boiled to ninety-nine degrees, the imperial court added a heavy fire, and the Cao Gang, that is, the parent company of the Green Gang, finally broke out of the shell.

However, this time the imperial court no longer supported, but destroyed, because they all went to worship Luozu, who would come to worship the prince of heaven and earth? In the fifth year of Yongzheng, the emperor personally gave instructions, and the imperial court began to seal the headquarters and offices of Luojiao, only in Hangzhou, forty-three seals were posted, and when it came to the Qianlong Dynasty, it was even more desperate, and even the house was demolished clean, and the people were explicitly forbidden to believe in Luojiao. But at this moment, the brainwashed Cao Min has been fully armed ideologically, and he will no longer be the obedient people of the past. And there are always more ways than difficulties, since you destroyed my office space on land, Lao Tzu drove the office to the ship, and also named these offices "Lao Tang Boat", each gang has an old hall boat, the ship hangs the statue of the ancestor, set up incense hall, of course, these are just forms, the core content is that the original flag Ding turned into an accountant and cashier in charge of a bunch of money and food, and they were given a new name called "master".

If you really think that they are just financial people, you are wrong, they also take care of people. In any organization, only human rights and financial rights are the core, after the integration of the two powers, the organizational structure of Caobang Co., Ltd. was officially established, and their CEO began to shine. Under the leadership of the CEO, the Cao Gang began its business transformation, first of all, smuggling, followed by dominating the water to collect protection fees from other civilian ships, and then bullying the market to monopolize the trade routes, and even openly confronting the government after the strength grows, striking and beating the poor, not uncommon, when the water development space is limited, it began to expand to the land, involved in various industries, until the formation of many white or black industrial chains. At this point, the Cao Gang, one of the largest gang organizations in Chinese history, has finally completed the long road of entrepreneurship and started the journey of sailing.

Seeing this, it is estimated that many people will feel that watching is actually not a light job, not to mention experiencing it personally, I feel tired and panicked when I look at it, why is it so difficult to do something in this world? From the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, it took one or two hundred years for a company to start a business, and it turned out that chicken soup for the soul was a lie. Historical experience once again proves that entrepreneurship is not only a technical job, but also a luck job, without the Ming and Qing dynasties of the government is busy helping and helping, this way perseverance and tossing, perhaps the Cao Gang has already died in the embryonic stage. But think about it from another angle, the process of starting a business is also very important, in case the dream is not realized, look at the flowers and plants along the way, isn't it also a harvest?

The gossip hurts, and to get back to the point, the old guy Xu Sandao is now hurrying to find is his master, the father of Yan Chunniang, the owner of the Chunniang Teahouse, and Yan Xingji, the big boss of the Cao Gang in the Three Towns of Chukou, and the famous Yan blind man in the rivers and lakes. The rules handed down by the Cao Gang from their ancestors in the three towns of Chukou are divided into generations, which are called "quiet morality, Wencheng Buddhism, Nengren wisdom, original from nature, Yuan Ming Xingli, and Datong enlightenment". Yan Xingji originally had a single name of Ji word, because he was ranked in the "Xing" generation, so he was also known as Yan Xingji, and when he was a teenager, he lost one eye because of a fight, so he was nicknamed Yan Blind, of course, with his status in the rivers and lakes today, except for a few old brothers who dare to call him like this, others do not have the courage. In the past, Xu Sandao, who seemed to be arrogant and invincible, stood honestly in front of Yan Xingji at this moment, with a deferential face.

Yan Xingji has a thin figure, his early life of eating and sleeping in the open makes his complexion dark, the short stubble is obviously freshly shaved and just emerged, the gray-white braids are coiled on the top of his head, and the robe and horse coat he wears are also very clean, without bells and whistles, he looks ordinary, except for being clean and neat, there is nothing different from ordinary people. But a pair of hands and a single eye make people remember it after seeing it. His hands are more than twice as thick as ordinary people, and the joints are thick, and the proportions of the entire bone look completely incongruous. And those one-eyed eyes are half-closed most of the time, the light is restrained, and the bottom is bottomless, so that people can't guess the slightest joy, anger and sorrow in his heart.

Yan Xingji leaned on a finely carved Luo Circle chair, sipping fragrant tea without a mouthful, and sometimes playing with the precious purple sand pot in his hand that flickered with silver sand and vermilion grains, commonly known as sand pumping, and didn't open his mouth for a long time. Xu Sandao hung his head, could only roll his eyelids, inquired about the master with his eyes, observed his face, and carefully did not dare to say anything.

The master and apprentice were silent for a long time, Yan Xingji coughed, and then slowly opened his mouth, his voice was like an old monk talking about Zen, not in a hurry or slowly: "You are also a person who is running to the age of forty, as the old saying goes, thirty and stand, forty is not confused, in my opinion, you are standing but not stable, confused and not seeking to understand." Let's help others, what we do is not a business to accumulate virtue and do good, and it is just a matter of losing our own life, all for the brothers in the public middle school to pick this head, protect their own one-third of an acre, and do not ask for any tricks. It's good for you, pull a bay of people to give a half-sized child a set, drag people into the water, and finally lift a stone and hit your own feet, and Liu Scar's kind of soil is more serious, who doesn't know now that a dog of Lao Jin is planted at the door of your Xu Sanye's house, you are really majestic, I am blind and narrow, can I still afford you as a god? ”
