The new location of the Shangguan gang made everyone from Yangzhou impressed. This is the most open field in the eastern part of the city, and the fertile land originally used for cultivation has not been destroyed, and is interspersed with houses in an orderly manner. Much of the wasteland that had been left unused was developed and used for the construction of houses.

The crowd dispersed and visited the Lutheran Church.

Ming Yi and Shi were accompanied by Xia Huanfeng and Hua Zixian at the beginning, and went to those rows of houses first.

Ming Yi was puzzled and asked, "This land was not so big originally, why does it seem to have expanded a lot?" ”

Xia Huanfeng said with a smile: "This is thanks to Zixian, he originally took a fancy to a big mansion in the city for opening a martial arts hall. I wasn't quite at ease, so I went to see it and felt that the price was a bit inflated. So he discussed with him and set up the martial arts hall in the gang camp, so that the cost saved was enough to buy this wasteland and build a house for apprentices and gangs to live in. ”

Ming Yi arched his hand to Hua Zixian and said, "Thank you Zixian for being willing to plan for the overall situation of the gang." ”

Hua Zixian said open-mindedly: "If it weren't for Phantom Feng pulling me when I was drunk and dreaming of death, I would just be a loser who sits on the empty mountain." What's that? I hope that the helper will be satisfied with the camp where I oversee the work. ”

Mingyi was stunned: "This is Zixian personally supervising the work?" No wonder I rarely see you in Rongyifang these days. ”

Hua Zixian laughed twice: "Is it true that the helper thinks that I sing every night and linger in the Qinglou Workshop?" ”

Ming Yi was stunned and did not hide it: "It was Ming Yi who was confined to prejudices and mistook Zixian." ”

Hua Zixian said helplessly: "It must be that Brother Xia said a lot of bad things about me in front of the helper." ”

Xia Huanfeng did not deny it: "Zixian has always deliberately pretended to be Meng Lang frivolous, just to confuse others. There is no need to be like this in front of the helper, Zixian is a good brother who can be trusted. ”

Ming Yi sincerely thanked Zixian again: "In the future, Zixian and us will need to work together to make the Shangguan gang go further." ”

Hua Zixian's face was slightly red, and he seemed a little excited, and said, "I'm going to leave for Yangzhou immediately to find a buyer for the martial arts hall over there." Then contact the brothers of the martial arts hall, if there is anyone who is willing to come to Chang'an with me, bring it with me. ”

Xia Huanfeng was slightly moved: "Why is this?" That mansion in Yangzhou is your ancestral property. ”

Hua Zixian seems to have made up his mind: "My martial arts hall is different from Chu Niangzi's rice noodle shop, and it is also different from Pony's dart game. As long as the relationship between the salt merchants is in the rice and noodle business, it is not difficult to change the local business. Most of the dart masters of the dart board are at home all over the world, and the time spent with the family is only more than ten days a year, and they are the same wherever they stay. And once my martial arts hall leaves Yangzhou and the brothers who follow me, I need to start from scratch. Now that the gang leader and Brother Xia have made up their minds to compete in Chang'an, how can I hold everyone back. The martial arts hall needs to be used to gather the gang and protect the safety of the gang up and down. ”

Mingyi's heart swelled with enthusiasm, and his words of gratitude were inevitably vulgar, so he didn't repeat them, and sincerely persuaded: "Having said that, how can the ancestral house be sold easily. Let's think about whether there is any other way? ”

Ming Yi looked at Xia Huanfeng, hoping that he had a plan for both.

Hua Zixian preemptively said: "The matter of my martial arts hall can no longer bother Brother Xia. In recent days, the expenses have been huge, and it is very likely that there will be a lot of expenses for the construction of this Xinyi Hall, the wedding of the Shi Gang Master, and several other elders. Brother Xia is already overstretched, and I still understand this. What's more, the expenses of my martial arts hall are not a small number, if you brothers come to Chang'an, you will have to pay for settling in, and you will have to recruit another apprentice in Chang'an, in order to recruit strong men, the martial arts hall also needs to provide basic food, clothing and salary. When I was in Yangzhou, it was because of the lack of salaries that the apprentices had to take benefits from Chu Niangzi, and I also knew that she was difficult to do, but the martial arts hall had limited inputs, so I had to turn a blind eye. When I arrived in Chang'an, I could no longer condone such a thing, and I had to have a sum of money on hand. ”

Mingyi knew that this was all the truth, and he was also moved by Hua Zixian's hard work for the sake of the gang.

Xia Huanfeng patted Hua Zixian's shoulder: "I won't say much about polite words." Since we have chosen this path, we will go on with all our might. In the near future, you will take the glory and money back to Yangzhou and buy bigger mansions, even Suzhou, Yizhou, Luoyang, wherever you want. ”

Hua Zixian grinned: "If I hadn't believed you, I wouldn't have made this decision." ”

Xia Huanfeng raised his eyebrows: "Then why didn't I see you mention that you had to spend money to solve the matter of the martial arts hall yourself?" ”

Hua Zixian laughed dryly, a little embarrassed: "Don't hide it from you, please also forgive Ming Niangzi Shixia, I did have doubts before, in my heart, Brother Xia is the choice of the helper." Brother Xia, the Ming lady you are helping with all your heart, has neither martial arts nor an extraordinary power background. After these incidents, Shi Ruoshan's marriage, Chu Niangzi's attitude has changed greatly, and I understand why you are willing to give up the position of helper. ”

Xia Huanfeng said with a smile: "I was buried in running Rongyifang before, consolidating the connections on the rivers and lakes, and I neglected many things in the gang. I myself understand what I can and can't do. Finally waited for Mingyi, no matter the ambition, mentality, strategy, and talent complemented me, plus the assistance of sometimes brother, this is the heaven-sent opportunity for our Shangguan gang. ”

Mingyi listened, and there was no need for her to say anything, everything seemed hypocritical. only smiled faintly: "Come step by step, at present, I am only the acting helper, and there are two big mountains in front of me, the Xiao couple and Shi Ruoshan." ”

Xia Huanfeng said firmly: "I believe that Ming Yi is ready to subdue the Xiao family and his wife, as long as the four elders approve, it doesn't matter how Shi Ruoshan is." Even if he retains the name of his helper, it will be a matter of time before he abdicates. ”

Ming Yi smiled: "How do you know that I can subdue the Xiao couple?" I'm only 50% sure. ”

Hua Zixian frowned, a little impatient: "Can't you just drive them out?" Compared to a few of us, I don't think the two of them came from an unknown background, and I can't figure out what they are thinking. Even if they are willing to go with us, I am worried that they are secretly resentful. ”

Xia Huanfeng reprimanded: "I said earlier that Zixian, you still have some patience, and you are always too impatient. The Xiao couple and Shi Ruoshan are not related, how could they give up the wealth in front of them for him. Most of my money here comes from the black market trading and Rongyi Fang in the West Market, and the cost is about the same, but in the past few years, most of the money handed over by the elders to the gang is in their hands, and it is used for the operation of the quality shop, and the account books must be properly kept. It is not difficult to get rid of the two of them, but without the cooperation of the two of them, eighty percent of the money from the quality shop cannot be recovered. Isn't this painful for the relatives and quick for the enemy? ”

Hanako replied with a smile: "That is, we must keep them." If they have the heart to flee with the money, it will be miserable. ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the remaining three people changed, yes, the origin of these two people is a mystery, and it is a tricky thing to run away with the money. 2k reading web
