"Blood Alliance!?"

In the section manager's room of the Fengtian Village Mine, Guan Fengsheng, Tian Dayou, Wu Yaluo, He Gui and Lin Dashu all changed their faces when they heard these four words.

"Fourth brother, this is a ...... to kill the head" [1]

Guan Fengsheng relied on his identity as Li Xi's father-in-law and took the lead in speaking.

"Uncle Guan, don't talk nonsense, we're not swearing. The law of the Qing Dynasty said that blood is an alliance and a different surname is a major crime. ”

Li Xian said lightly, splitting the blood alliance and the worship of different surnames, which was his fool. Although the law says that the worship of a different surname constitutes a rebellion, the blood worship alliance is a formality. With the level of law enforcement in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, whoever cares about your content will just follow the form. 【2】

"Yes...... We are building a union, these two things together, will it also violate the taboo of the imperial court? ”

Tian Dayou has seen a little more, and he has not been completely fooled.

"We are building a township association, just burying our heads to make money, and it is not an anti-imperial court bandit association, what is the taboo? Of course, there is a taboo, that is, this alliance must not be spoken. ”

Li Xi once again cunningly separated their organization from the concept of the party, and these countrymen, who understood the details of the Qing Dynasty, were finally confused, but they were still faintly uneasy in their hearts, and they did not continue to discuss the topic of Li Xi for a while.

"Then let's not call it a meeting......"

Li Shi gave in again, and he had already been prepared.

"It's called...... Company ......"

After these two words, Li Xi was ready to face the five people in a daze and then ask questions.

It's a pity that all five of them sighed, and then their faces softened, and they all said, "Yes, this is better."

Hey? That's not the right reaction......

"What should it be called?"

Tian Dayou asked, Li Shi held back the thought of wiping his sweat, and said carefully: "Let's call it Qingtian Company." ”

This name is a bit literary, and together it seems to be literate...... But looking at the undisputed looks of Guan Tian and the others, they obviously felt that this name was straightforward and clear.

The name is meant to be used externally, and it is important to cover the eyes and ears. When the fields are not accepted, the farmers also help each other, and "Qingtian Company" is the same as "Tianhui", but the word "will" is removed to avoid the attention of the government.

Although some people don't understand that everyone has no reaction to the word "company", but the opinions are unified, and the iron must be struck while it is hot. Li Shi said the "articles of association" and "organizational structure of the company" roughly, and immediately inserted the incense alliance.

Of course, the words of the alliance will not be "Heaven and earth are all things, restore the Ming Dynasty, exterminate Hulu, I should live and die together, and the brothers will become one family...... but a simple "articles of association", "the total covenant is a business, the net worth is mutually supportive, the oath is abided by, and life and death are not violated".

Then there was blood under the incense, and the other five people also let go, and without hesitation, they resolutely broke their fingers and dripped blood. Li Xian was afraid of pain, so he slyly pulled out his three-edged short sword, cut it directly on the palm of his hand, and pulled out a large hole that was two inches long, and the scarlet blood dripped into the large bowl filled with rice wine, making the corners of other people's eyes jump, and the trace of fear that still existed in his heart was also burned by this blood.

"This pain is much easier than the pain in the tips of my fingers......"

Li Shi has such a mind, ten fingers connected to the heart, the pain is annoying. Anyway, this "association" is his method, and he doesn't have any sincerity, so it's good that he can fool the past.

After a few sips of bloody wine with a fishy and astringent taste, Guan Tian and the others' eyes looking at each other have changed, although they did not bow down, but the affection of brothers with different surnames was reflected in the depths of their hearts. What does it mean to be bloody? That is to share the bloodline, to bring people of different bloodlines together, in fact, is to worship.

But Guan Tian and the others are not cultural people, and they can't distinguish this layer, so they think that this bloody alliance is just a formality. If you really want to tell them through this layer, Guan Fengsheng will be the first to do it, not because he is afraid of being arrested by the government, he is Li Shi's father-in-law, how can Weng and his son-in-law worship each other......

Feeling the strange atmosphere in the room, Li Xian secretly sighed, many times it is really the form that determines the content.

Qingtian Company was established in this way, and the six of them are all directors, and Li Xi is naturally the boss, but what to call the position of the boss, everyone has different opinions.

"Since it's a company, it should be called the president......"

Li Xian sweated slightly.

"According to the rules of the north, it is okay to call the prime minister."

Li Shi Khan.

"I remember that when I used to make artillery in Foshan, a company in Taiwan came to Foshan to buy iron pots, and the leader was called the president."

Li Shi Waterfall Khan.

The president always made Li Xi have a sense of confusion in time and space, and the prime minister and president even had a false sense of identity, and finally at Li Shi's insistence, the boss position was called the "General Director". 【3】

Although it is nominally a company, because there are two layers of business, the bright is reclamation, the dark is gold panning, the formal management system has to think carefully, the light and dark must be taken care of, and there is no taboo text, and it will not be able to do it for a while. The core principle, Li Xi also had to use the practice of the Confucian family, the Confucian side is "everyone discusses major matters", and the other side of the law is "Li Xi has the final say". And the first important thing that Li Shi handed over to them was to negotiate the gold. He has a plan in his heart, but he must also look at the thoughts of these leaders in Guan Tian first.

When he was in the house, he didn't feel anything, but as soon as he stepped out of the room, Li Xi suddenly felt that what he saw in front of him and what he felt around him seemed to be sharper and more profound, as if the world was more real.

The form determines the content, and when Li Shi pinched out such a Qingtian company with gold, he had already taken a step forward with Fengtian Village, and firmly stepped on the taboo line, from this point of view, his integration with the world was one step deeper.

But there was a small problem he still didn't understand, when he entered the village, he found Fan Jin Fan Xiu, who had just finished class, and asked, only to find that his knowledge of later generations may not be the result of straight line accumulation compared with his predecessors.

"Confucius said: 'The public, the wealth of several people, the division, the meaning of operation', Zhuangzi said: 'The accumulation of disadvantages is high, the combination of small and large, and the merger is the way of the public, which is called the company', the fourth brother, the name of the company, is a common thing in Fujian and Guangdong, just like the bureau. It's just that everyone thinks these two words are troublesome, and they don't use them very often. ”

Fan Jin rarely showed his knowledge in front of Li Shi, and he opened his mouth to talk endlessly.

"It's just that it will be used more, and the company used to come from the north, and it was only used among Hakka people. I see, this title is probably about to be extinct, and the fourth brother is now using this title again, and the heart of the ancients is really admirable. ”

Well, it turned out to be an ancient name......

Seeing that this Fan Xiucai was still going to talk endlessly, Li Xian hurriedly opened the topic: "There is a township exam in August, are you not allowed to prepare for the exam?" ”

Fan Jin's face darkened: "This ...... The family affairs are not settled, it is difficult to return to the hometown, and in order to protect the family, this person does not dare to take the test. ”

Since he didn't say it, Li Shi, who was full of things, didn't bother to ask, anyway, he was very dedicated to Fan Jin. Fan Jin has been teaching Mengxue in Fengtian Village for two months, thanks to Li Shi's training, the first stage of the "Three Character Classic", Mongolian students have learned, Li Shi gave Fan Jin a bundle of repairs in advance, ten taels a month, and said that Mengxue Hall is a key project of the new Zhuangzi, which also made Fan Jin's mind to stay in Fengtian Village more firm.

With injuries on his hands, he didn't dare to go home to face Guan Xuan's sad eyes, and after finding Cai Langzhong to bandage him, Li Xi went directly to the shantytown on the other side of the mine. The homeless orphans were all housed here, the little girl was temporarily taken care of by the widow Wang and the women of the village, and he was used for other purposes, and the boys were taken by nine orphans, including Jia Gouzi and Wu Shishi.

"Jia Hao, Wu Ya!"

As soon as Li Shi called, the two boys jumped out, their faces full of pride and excitement.

The cheap names of the dog and the stone were finally lost, and Li Xi gave the two humming generals a new name. Jia Hao's Hao pinned Li Shi's expectations for Jia Gouzi's great future. And the cliff of Wu Ya is Li Shi's play on Wu Shishi's real name, with a warning to make this guy surnamed stunned be more calm.

"Gather everyone!"

Li Xi gave an order, and the two greeted each other.

"Xu Hanchuan, Zhang Hanwan, Zhang Hanjin, Yu Hanyi!"

Jia Hao shouted the group of boys he brought.

"Zhao Hanxiang, Lu Hanshan, ......"

Wu Ya greeted his own group of people.

"Hu Hanshan!"

The last kid is this name.

These are the other seven orphans, after Li Xi named Jia and Wu, they also clamored for names, and Li Xi took "Han" as the ranking, and took the names of each person according to his provincial origin. With this name, Li Shi found out that everyone's ancestral hometowns are varied, and the entire Fengtian Village is simply a hodgepodge, and he doesn't know how the ancestors of the villagers came together to come to this Yingde.

And that Hu Hanshan...... Originally, he was from Shaanxi like Lu Hanshan, Hu Jiahan, the name of "Hu Hansan", Li Xi blurted out, looking at this sturdy boy whose head was about the same height as himself, he was excited, and Li Xi was not easy to change, so he said that "three" was a "mountain", and he thought in his heart, hoping that this kid would not really become that "Hu Hansan".

The nine henchmen were all together, and then they went separately to gather the homeless teenagers he bought, twenty-one of them were over fourteen years old, and when everyone arrived, Li Xian took a deep breath and suppressed a trace of churning strangeness in his heart, what he was going to do next was a fatal matter.

"I give you a choice, you have to hear every word I say, and at the same time fully understand what you have to pay for this choice."

Li Xi stared at the twenty or so teenagers, his face was calm, his tone was solemn, the teenagers were not like Jia Wu and these orphans who were disciplined by Li Shi, they were still moving crookedly, but as Li Shi's words fell, a strange force deterred them, and they all listened with bated breath.

That power comes from fate.

[1: "The Law of the Qing Dynasty and the Law of War": All people with different surnames, but there are blood alliances and burning incense to worship brothers, according to the conspiration to rebel against the law, the leader plans to hang the prison, and the servants send the smoke miasma on the two poles of Yunnan and Guizhou to fill the army. His bloodless oath burned his expression, and he stopped his order and swore to his brothers,...... and the first one shall have a hundred rods, and two months of flail, and one shall be subtracted from each. In the Yongzheng period, detailed regulations were made according to the number of people. 】

[2: During the Yongzheng period, social governance was more stringent, and Fujian had established a "parents' association", and the villagers pooled funds to help each other for weddings and funerals, which were also treated by local officials as a party. 】

[3: President, Prime Minister, President, this title has long been used, and it was only used in the civilian sector in the past, and occasionally in the informal military and political field. Later, in order to correspond to the names of foreigners, these titles were put together, and the use of "company" in the partnership of foreigners is the best example. In other words, the translation of "enterprise" is from the original, but the Chinese text is interpreted as "enterprising industry", which is an authentic Chinese origin. The topic is far away, why the original language can be filled with China after the New Culture Movement, it is because the roots are in China, so this feedback is very smooth. It is a pity that the Chinese people have fallen to the point of relying on the small book to feed, and the root cause is in the Manchu Qing Dynasty......]
