Looking at Ma Chengling's simple outfit and long sword in front of him, Ming Yi asked, "What about you?" Also into the gang? ”

Ma Chengling scratched his head: "Now I just said to Sister Yi that it was wrong for me, and my Junling Dart Game is the property of the Shangguan Gang." In the first two years, the foundation was not stable, and he did not dare to show off on the ground in Chang'an. Now that I, Brother Shi, are here, I also want to make a few more friends in Chang'an. ”

Ming Yi probably had a bottom in his heart, and he breathed a sigh of relief, still a little curious: "So you should take your big brother Shi to visit the officials with authority, or those big merchants who are making money every day, what use can I do if I just open a rouge shop?" ”

"Sister Yi, you look down on me and wait." Ma Chengling stopped when he heard this, and looked directly at her, "If the Shangguan Gang and Brother Shi are the kind of snobbish people, and it is useful or useless to intersect with others, I will not be willing to devote myself to life and death with the gang." ”

Ming Yi felt that this person was still quite axial, although he went south and north with some gangsterism, but he still retained a bit of extremely rare innocence and innocence, and he had a good impression of him in his heart, so he put aside the topic: "That's my villain's heart, little horse Mo weird." Tell me about your gang, after all, I can't ask your gang leader in detail, it seems less respectful. ”

Ma Chengling turned his head and continued to walk, obviously not taking the stubble just now to heart, and kept introducing the gossip and structure of his Shangguan Gang.

Shangguan Gang leader Shi Ruoshan, born in a fishing family, met by chance, and was taken in by Shangguan Yun, the daughter of Shangguan Gang, the little lady has a strong temperament, and she made a private agreement with him for life. At that time, although the Shangguan family had established a gang, the scale was only thirty or forty people, teaching the gang mathematics and martial arts, and collecting academic fees.

More than two years ago, the old gang leader and Shangguan Yun were invited to go to Xunyang by water to see the feng shui of the yin house for the local wealthy families, and stay in Shi Ruoshan to take care of the affairs of the gang. The old gang leader, father and daughter, don't know the nature of water, the old gang leader has a big life, grabbed a wooden board on the line of life and death, and relied on his martial arts foundation to support the passing boat to rescue. The little lady of Shangguan is alive and dead, but she can't see anyone, and she can't see her corpse.

The cold air attacked the heart and the pain of losing his daughter, and the old gang leader was sent home for three days and died. Shi Ruoshan took on the responsibility of life and death of the Shangguan gang, and asked himself if he was not good at the number of skills, so he should find another way to survive. He sold his land and property to recruit talents, because he was bold and sincere, there were many capable people who came to defect, and the number of Shangguan Gang exceeded 100, and two deputy gang leaders were set up, one to manage the helpers inside, and one to expand the friendship outside. There are four elders, each with their own strengths.

With this manpower and the financial resources of the official family, the Shi Gang Master set up four businesses: a dart bureau, a quality warehouse, a martial arts hall, and a rice and noodle shop, each of which was under the responsibility of the four elders. Although these four investments are large, the returns are also fast, especially in the Dart Bureau Martial Arts Hall, what is needed is people, and there is no shortage of people in the Shangguan family.

Ming Yi listened and sighed that this stone gang leader was able to endure it, but he was born in a fishing family and learned the management methods somewhere. When he heard the dart game, he asked, "Is that the pony the elder in charge of the dart board?" ”

Ma Chengling smiled: "Don't listen to the name of the elder, it sounds like a respectable person, in fact, our four elders and the deputy gang leader are not very old, so we can talk together, like brothers." ”

Mingyi is even more convinced, and when young people are appointed, their momentum, learning ability, and innovation ability must be higher. And if this group of young people with strong ability and high vision can be brought together and like brothers, then the cohesion within this gang is even more remarkable, and the gang leader must not be an ordinary person.

Ming Yi chatted a lot with Xing Qing and Xia Huanfeng, and they also knew something about the gangs in the rivers and lakes. The dart game is logistics, and it is also a tentacle to collect information from all over the world; The martial arts hall is not only a reliable talent output for the dart bureau, but also a strong gang talent pool, which protects the peace of one side on weekdays, of course, this protection is also valuable, and the expenditure of a martial arts hall is contributed by the merchants of one side.

Rice and noodle shops are related to the foundation of people's livelihood and stable profits, but what is Yangzhou? The base of the smugglers. It is safest to spread the private salt from your own rice noodles, and if you add your own dart board, you can pass through the whole country. In the Tang Dynasty, this was a high-profit and high-risk industry like drug trafficking.

Pledge bank, to put it simply, make loans, usury. If you have land, real estate, wife, children, jade and clothes, you can mortgage them, and if you don't have collateral, you can also use the credit of your ancestors for 18 generations. The loan is convenient, the interest is considerable, and the collection is backed by a strong man from the martial arts hall, who dares not to pay it back? The money earned by the three lines flows out of the quality bank to make money, and it is difficult to think about underdevelopment.

The more Ming Yi thought about it, the more excited he became, to see what kind of pattern people were in! She was now full of curiosity and respect for the Stone Gang Master. How can a person like her, who is rolling in the workplace and trusts money and real estate as the greatest sense of security, care about being regarded as a snob. Admiring the strong is human instinct.

Talking all the way, it seems that the road is not so far. The horse stopped in front of an orchid restaurant in the West Market, which also made Mingyi feel satisfied, after all, she had been curious since she crossed over, but she had never entered. Ma Chengling helped her get off the horse, saying that the Shi Gang Master had made an appointment to wait in the private room.

A Hu man saluted and welcomed him, and led Jun Lingwu to the stable. Ma Chengling led her in, but there was no golden splendor and jade arms swaggering as Ming Yi imagined, several wine tables were full of people, a Hu man played the pipa, and the music was also covered by the noisy sound of those drinkers.

Mingyi was a little disappointed in this environment, Ma Chengling was afraid that she would be harassed by a drunk, so she protected her all the way, and then went deeper and opened the door of a small room.

The small room is brightly lit, the wall is painted with a ** dancing girl, the ground is a colorful Persian blanket, the incense burner is also the shape of **, and white smoke wafts out from the palm of the hand, and the fragrance is strong.

The man sitting cross-legged in front of the low case, watching the two of them enter, got up and arched his hand: "I have long admired the name of the Ming lady, Shi Ruoshan is a rough person, if there is abruptness, don't blame the lady." ”

Ming Yi looked at the stone gang leader in front of him, which was very different from what he imagined, and he actually had a very honest face. Less than forty, tall and thin, plainly dressed, yellowish skin and less bloody, as if there were a little sickness. is different from his figure, but he looks friendly and blessed, with a square face, thick eyebrows and round eyes, a fleshy nose, and thick lips, looking like a kind neighbor brother. Especially the eyes, revealing the meaning of integrity and sincerity.

Ming Yi felt that he was staring at people a little too much, and hurriedly replied: "The master of the Shi Gang is serious, Xiaoma said that you and him are like brothers, and he is my own brother, so why do we need to see each other." ”

Ma Chengling laughed beside him: "Yes, Sister Yi, you are the same as me, you call your eldest brother!" ”

Ming Yi looked at Shi Ruoshan with a look of anticipation, and then he also behaved: "Big brother, please take a seat!" ”

Shi Ruoshan squinted with a smile: "I have such a beautiful and aura girl this time, it's really a great blessing." Sister, pony, let's sit together. ”
