After ten o'clock, Sun Wei's life became more colorful, under the leadership of Gu Yecheng, he visited the entire central and northern districts of the public concession, most of the eastern and western districts of the public concession, visited 12 underground gambling houses, 6 regular brothels, 28 tobacco houses, 3 theaters, 8 hotels, and two hotels.

According to Gu Yecheng, all these properties have to pay him at least 70,000 taels of dividends every month, plus the protection fees paid to him by other gangs in the public concession, his monthly income is about 100,000 taels.

Of the 100,000 taels of income, 20 percent is used for the salaries of thousands of disciples under him, two are used by the bosses of the traffic foreigners, one is used to pay the peripheral personnel who do things for him, and the remaining 50 percent can go into his pocket.

In the late Qing Dynasty, silver was actually still very purchasing power, although with the Qing government more and more in line with international standards, the ratio of gold and silver prices rose from ten to one in the early Qing Dynasty to thirty to one now, but still not to the horror ratio of 100 to 1 in the 40s, the purchasing power of silver is still very strong.

According to Sun Wei's understanding, the large-area Shikumen in the Shanghai Public Concession is only 5,600 taels of silver per building, and the price of an ordinary garden villa is only 5,000 taels, like a luxury villa covering an area of more than 10 acres and a construction area of more than 2,000 square meters, which is only about 100,000 taels, which is much cheaper than the Wang Mansion and Kadoorie Residence in the thirties and forties, which often cost tens or millions of dollars, which strengthened Sun Wei's confidence in living in a western-style villa.

The profession of detectives is that they need to be out all day long, even if they are detectives, their duty is only to investigate cases, and it is an ordinary patrol job to be on call to stop crimes, so Sun Wei only needs to appear in the office when he goes to work and gets off work.

Sun Wei is not only the inspector of the patrol house now, he also serves as the chief of the gang forces in the Shanghai Public Concession, in addition to dealing with the patrol house, he also needs to deal with the affairs of his own subordinates and disputes between other gangs, which can really be regarded as a daily opportunity.

Sun Wei only finished his inspection of his property at about three o'clock in the afternoon, and then he sent away Gu Yecheng, who had been accompanying him, and returned to Xie Xiaoshu's theater with only two bodyguards.

Xie Xiaoshu's theater can be regarded as Sun Wei's base camp, and many things in the gang are handled by Xie Xiaoshu here.

The earliest business hours of the theater are at half past six in the evening, and it is very quiet during the day, which is convenient for dealing with some gang affairs, and when Sun Wei walked up to the second floor, he happened to see what arrangements Xie Xiaoshu was making for a few people, and there were a few twelve or thirteen-year-old girls in the corner, and they were timidly looking at Xie Xiaoshu, who was like a queen, giving orders.

"Ah Wei, you're back." Xie Xiaoshu was facing the door at the moment, and when she looked up, she saw Sun Wei coming in from outside.

"Boss!" The people who had their backs to Sun Wei also quickly turned around and saluted Sun Wei.

These people Sun Wei had seen in the morning, in the brothel not far from the Yongan Cinema, which was also the only brothel wholly owned by him among the six brothels that Sun Wei cared for, and they were all disciples sent by Sun Wei to manage the security of the brothel.

In fact, although Sun Wei has thousands of disciples, not everyone has the qualifications to call him a master, and the disciples with this qualification are the leaders of various districts, and the total number of them together will not exceed ten, naturally excluding these turtle princes, among which the most important for Sun Wei are naturally Gu Yecheng and Sun Li.

"Is something wrong?" Sun Wei just glanced at the turtle dukes, and then asked Xie Xiaoshu.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that they bought a few little girls from Renyazi and brought them over for me to see." Xie Xiaoshu said and pointed to the timid little girls.

Human trafficking!

Sun Wei's originally happy mood suddenly became bad, but he also knew that his little detective was not capable of stopping this crime, but he could stop himself from doing such a criminal thing.

"Little sister, what's your name?" Sun Wei glanced at the oldest girl and asked kindly.

"Erya." The girl lowered her head and said tremblingly.

"Erya, do you know what you were bought for?" Sun Wei asked again.

Erya glanced up at Sun Wei, saw Sun Wei looking at herself and quickly lowered his head, then shook his head and said: "I don't know, A-Niang said that you can eat with your mother-in-law, but your mother-in-law has never fed Erya, uncle, can Erya eat enough at your place?" ”

"Ah Wei, you are interested in the girl, why don't I let her stay today?" Xie Xiaoshu saw that Sun Wei had been asking Erya questions, so she stepped forward and asked.

"She's still a child!" Sun Wei sat down next to Xie Xiaoshu a little angrily, in fact, he didn't know where his anger came from.

"What do you mean?" Everyone didn't dare to make any noise because of Xu Sunwei's anger, only Xie Xiaoshu asked a little embarrassed.

"Leave these children behind, and you all go back." Sun Wei ignored Xie Xiaoshu's inquiry, but looked at the turtle man who brought those girls.

"Yes, boss." Seeing that Sun Wei was angry, those people naturally didn't dare to stay longer, and they all walked out of the living room quickly, and even one person tripped when he went out and fell out of the room directly.

"Ah Wei, what's wrong with you?" Xie Xiaoshu also sensed Sun Wei's abnormality, stood up and walked to Sun Wei's side, gently hugged his head and asked.

"It's nothing, it's just a lot of anger." Sun Wei pillowed his head on Xie Xiaoshu's stomach, hugged her thin waist with his backhand, and hugged her very hard.

"Is that one of these girls?" Xie Xiaoshu asked softly.

"Hmm."

"Didn't you go to comfort me before, instead of starving to death at home, they might as well be sold into a brothel to be a prostitute, that is at least a way to live, why are you getting emotional now?" Xie Xiaoshu asked as she stroked Sun Wei's head.

"Xiaoshu, I want to set up an orphanage to house those homeless children." Sun Wei said.

"Isn't there several orphanages in Shanghai, if you really don't want to go, you can donate to those orphanages, or donate a house for them, you don't have to build an orphanage yourself." Xie Xiaoshu continued to persuade her.

"No, I've decided to build an orphanage!" Sun Wei raised his head from Xie Xiaoshu's arms and said in a firm tone.

"Have you figured out where to build it, and how big you want to build?" Xie Xiaoshu asked helplessly.

"The location is in Pudong, don't we have a warehouse for putting arms there, let's buy hundreds of acres of land next to it, and build a large one, at least it can accommodate thousands of people." Sun Wei said.

"So big?" Xie Xiaoshu was completely stunned by Sun Wei's idea, and said with a little worry: "It takes at least 100,000 taels of silver to build such a large orphanage, and it takes at least tens of thousands of taels every year to maintain the normal operation of the orphanage. ”

"Don't worry about money, I have my own way, but the choice of the director of this orphanage is a problem, at least it can't be those green skins of our gang, otherwise I have to teach those children badly." Sun Wei said.

"Do you want to think about it, this is going to build such a large orphanage?" Xie Xiaoshu confirmed again.

"Well, I've already decided, and I won't change it." Sun Wei nodded and said.

"Then I have a good candidate for dean, but I'm afraid that your tigress won't agree." Xie Xiaoshu thought for a moment and said.

"You don't mean yourself, do you? This is not good, who will help me deal with things when you leave! Sun Wei immediately objected.

"Of course it's not me, just my little knowledge is enough to help you deal with these things that don't need to be learned, I'm talking about my second brother's son, who came back from studying in the UK." Xie Xiaoshu said.

"British students, you're not kidding, are you?" Sun Wei said with a little disbelief.

"It's true, why am I lying to you!" Xie Xiaoshu said a little dissatisfied.

"You and I are really illiterate, since the Qing court abolished the imperial examination, international students have become fragrant and sweet, and even students from the kind of accelerated school set up for us international students in Japan can enter the Manchu government as officials, not to mention the British students from your second brother's family." Sun Wei looked at Xie Xiaoshu with a completely look, don't take me for a fool.

"I'll tell you the truth, my nephew did pass the imperial court exam, and was assigned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with excellent results, which is also a matter of honoring the ancestors, who knows that he didn't work long in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs before he had an accident, I heard that he offended the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and as a result, he was sentenced to his original place of origin and never hired. My second brother only had this one son, and he took great pains to help him, but he came to me and wanted me to find him a job in the concession. Xie Xiaoshu said with a sad face.

"I said that your nephew is really capable enough, even if he enters the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with the best grades, he is only a petty official of seven or eight grades at most, and the secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is a first-rank member above the six books, unless your nephew learns from Sun Wukong and makes trouble in the Heavenly Palace, otherwise the two will not intersect at all." Sun Wei was indeed frightened by Xie Xiaoshu's nephew's ability.
