Under the gratitude of Wu Tan, Di Feng entered the development zone, the scene of the wharf surprised Di Feng again, the war not only did not affect the operation of the wharf, but stimulated the throughput of the wharf, due to the war, the goods that were originally transported by land, because of the fear of being plundered by the Maitreya army, have chosen relatively safe water transportation.

In addition, there were Maitreya rebellions in various parts of Qianzhou, which also led to a shortage of materials in Qianzhou, and those merchants in Yizhou, Xiangzhou and even Hongzhou who did not have Maitreya rebellion smelled the business opportunities to make war money, and came with scarce goods one after another.

This made the goods hoarded at the wharf of the development zone pile into a small mountain, and the hundreds of Maitreya prisoners of war who were escorted by Di Feng are now under the guard of Zhang Xiaoguang, going back and forth between the wharf and various storage and freight yards for labor reform.

Just from the irrepressible smiles on the faces of the merchants in the development zone, it is not difficult to see that this rebellion of the Maitreya Sect made them make a lot of war money.

After calling Zhang Xiaoguang, Di Feng asked, "Are these prisoners of war honest?" ”

"Honest, of course honest, even if you don't need us to guard them, now you can't get rid of them if you want to, don't say anything about the adults who give them steamed cakes to eat, and give them wages, how can there be such a good thing in the world except Xinning? Every day, the ugly gang leader will also send a lecturer to teach them to read and write, this kind of treatment may not be possible for ordinary farmers, and now these guys can already write "Master Di's grace of reinvention will never be forgotten", we are not here to prevent them from escaping but to prevent them from being bullied by those profiteers."

Zhang Xiaoguang said, pointing to a few gorgeously dressed businessmen not far away and said: "When those profiteers heard that these people were prisoners of war, they wanted to rely on their wages yesterday. I was taught a lesson by a few brothers, and now these prisoners of war are grateful to me and have begun to call me the big brother."

After Zhang Xiaoguang finished speaking, he straightened up and asked Di Feng: "Master, do you think I have the momentum of the dock protector?" ”

"Get out of here and get to work!" Di Feng laughed and scolded Zhang Xiaoguang away. But I also thought about Zhang Xiaoguang's words in my heart.

"Since ancient times, the south rice and the north wheat, mainly to take the dry road, the dry road walking is really not easy and the risk is most, the territory of the Tang Dynasty is vast, and there is the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal through the north and south, now look at this posture water transport has become inevitable, why not follow the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty to build a Cao gang of their own."

Di Feng vaguely remembered that "from the beginning of the Qing Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty, the weight of the Cao Gang" was terrifying. The transportation of the "canal" depends entirely on the "Cao Gang". There are many people, many ships, and a wide range of forces. Once the "Cao Gang" does not move, the people of the provinces will be eaten and the annual grain of the provinces will be eaten. Military salaries. It will soon be gone; Therefore, the palaces and governments in various places, even the "Governor of Caoyun", and even the imperial court, did not dare to despise the "Cao Gang", and all let the "Cao Gang" score three points.

He occupies the right time, place and people, and if he wants to build a Cao Gang, he wants to have a boat and a boat, and he wants people to have people. The most important thing is that neither the merchants nor the imperial court have noticed the terrible monopoly of water transportation, although now the imperial court attaches great importance to water transportation. The shipowners are favored, but it is only superficially preferential, because they do not have a large scale and have no say in government affairs.

If he sent a group of people up the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal at this time and collected large and small fleets along the way, wouldn't he be able to dominate the canal soon? At that time, it will be called the Cao Gang without changing the name. ”

Di Feng had this idea, and couldn't help but ponder in his heart, "When I go back, I'll find Chou'er to convene a kind of leader of the Wind and Fire Gang to discuss, how to establish the organizational structure of the Cao Gang, they are **** and know better than themselves."

Di Feng made up his mind, and after meeting Wu Dayou and talking about the arrangements for the homeless, he hurried back to the mansion to find the ugly child.

When Chou'er listened to Di Feng's thoughts, she suddenly came to her senses, she has her own little abacus, compared with Zhao Ling'er, she has no backer, if she has more ability, the more capital she will have to compete for favor in front of Di Feng.

After waiting for Di Feng to finish speaking, Chou'er immediately ran out and asked Lai Wenzhong to inform the big and small heads of the Wind and Fire Gang to come to a "meeting" now.

The kung fu was not big, and the twenty or thirty people who were hula la arrived at the scene, one by one, they were drumming out of the frame and had the posture of the **** gathering of later generations, and the ugly er told everyone Di Feng's thoughts, and everyone immediately discussed it, and finally came to a unified conclusion, and the Cao Gang was born.

The ancestor returned to Di Feng without concession; Needless to say, the helper is ugly; The deputy gang leader is still Lai Wenzhong; There are two protectors, one is Wu Tan and the other is Zhang Xiaoguang, and then several people and their disciples jointly formulate family rules and rules.

With the participation of Di Feng, according to the development model of the gang in later generations, Di Feng emphasized the system of mentoring and apprenticeship, the size of the gang is based on the word generation, the entire Cao Gang is a big family, and set up a family temple, all those who join the gang, no matter what the surname, once they join the gang, are the descendants of the Di family, so they are not just into the gang, but into the family, and no matter what word class, a teacher is a teacher, an apprentice is an apprentice, and is favored by the elders of the Quartet.

This not only makes the Cao Gang different from other gangs, but also makes the relationship between the master and apprentice brothers very cordial.

For the mergers and acquisitions of other fleets, it is simple, ask for money to give money, and if you don't agree, you will use force, anyway, there is no shortage of younger brothers in your hands, not to mention the original more than 300 gangs of the Wind and Fire Gang. There are also a few hundred Maitreya prisoners of war on the docks, and these people can also be used as the first core members of the Cao Gang.

The helmsman of the rudder is now these big and small leaders under the Wind and Fire Gang, these leaders have followed the ugly for the longest time, not to mention their loyalty to the ugly son, let them be responsible for managing the rudder Di Feng and the ugly son will rest assured.

After discussing the results, Di Feng asked Chou'er to divide the lecturers who had been brainwashed by her, and these people were ready to disperse to the towns along the river as the military advisors of the various rudder masters.

The role of military advisors is the greatest, they are not only responsible for negotiating with the large and small fleets along the river, but also responsible for brainwashing the newly recruited disciples in various places, because the disciples who were prepared to be recruited by the Cao Gang in the early stage were designated as market boatmen and dock coolies, these people are all a group of low-level hard people, and most of these lecturers are from the disaster victims and have the experience of developing and going offline in the disaster camp, so I believe that they will easily gain the trust of the market boatmen and dock coolies.

Everything was arranged, and everyone took their own tasks and went to the dock to follow Zhao Ling'er's sand boat in different directions.

The Cao Gang has it, and the Cao boat has become a problem again, it seems that he has to let someone inform Lin Zhihuan to come to Xinning, and now Lin Zhihuan is in Fuzhou, this time his cooperation with Di Feng is making a lot of money, and it is time for him to make some blood, Di Feng plans to let Lin Zhihuan contribute, go out of the land by himself, and build a shipyard in Xinning.

Everyone dispersed, and Di Feng was about to relax, but he heard a noise outside the door, and then a soldier covered in blood walked in.

As soon as the soldiers saw Di Feng, they struggled to their knees and fell to the ground, and shouted at the same time, "Di County Order, please send troops to rescue my general!" (To be continued.) )
