When Lei Hu took his younger brother to inspect the wharf, he saw Lin Shirong in a shed in a vegetable and meat monopoly point, wielding a meat cleaver and slashing at the half of the pork that had been missing, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then smiled.

Nima, he finally knew that in the Xiangfu Teahouse that day, why Lin Shirong's gang was so angry with the Zhongyi Tang gang, it turned out to be like this.

Thinking about it, although Lin Shirong worships Huang Feihong as his teacher, he does not stay in Baozhilin to do things, so he naturally has enough sources of livelihood.

This guy was obviously ready to sell pork for a long time, but after listening to the rumors in the market, he naturally didn't have a good impression of Zhongyitang, who collected protection money.

Coupled with his youth and vigor, he was very unhappy with Lei Hu's reputation as 'the first master of Chancheng Jianghu', and as a result, he fought without speculation.

It's just a pity, even if this guy is unruly, doesn't he have to honestly pay protection money to Zhongyitang?

It's not that he looks down on Lin Shirong's martial arts, but in front of the social order formulated by Zhongyi Hall, if he wants to mix well, he has to act honestly according to the rules, otherwise the consequences will be quite bad.

The territory under the control of Zhongyitang, as well as the dock area, have formulated rules and confirmed social order, which has been recognized by the local merchants and people, and has begun to consciously abide by it, not that Lin Shirong can not abide by it if he wants to.

As for the so-called protection fee, as well as fees such as health management fees, it can be regarded as the government's excesses and miscellaneous taxes, and what Zhongyitang did at this time was actually similar to what the government was doing in the management of the place.

This kind of thing is actually quite taboo, but at this time the Manchu government's control over the local area has been greatly reduced, especially in the areas of the southern coast that have been forcibly opened.

The same is true of the Chancheng government, as long as the official master completes the prescribed tax tasks, he can get benefits, as for how the officials below toss, they have no mind at all, and they have no energy to care.

What Zhongyitang did was nothing more than to control the management rights of the officials, and the high-level officials of the hall would directly connect with the yamen, as long as the official master and the following important officials and leaders were settled, there was no need to worry too much about some and not.

Anyway, a lot of money is sprinkled out every month, and the government has long been fed, and they turn a blind eye to what Zhongyitang does, anyway, as long as they deserve the benefits, they will be done, and they are too lazy to care about the rest.

Zhongyitang managed its subordinate sites and wharves on behalf of the government, and the measures formulated were more appropriate, so that the merchants and ordinary people who were under control had no reason to take the lead.

In such an environment, Lin Shirong would not take the initiative to jump out and toss at all, otherwise what was waiting for him would be completely ostracized, and he would not be able to gain a foothold under the rule of Zhongyitang at all.

After thinking about this, Lei Hu didn't have the idea of provoking this guy for the time being, so he went to the dock for a few laps first, took a look at the situation and shortcomings of the dock, and knew it in his heart.

The scale of Chancheng Wharf is not large, and the number of ships coming and going is not very large, most of them are domestic businessmen who do business with foreigners, and the order of the wharf is actually very easy to manage.

In Lin Shirong's eyes, the dock is very clean and tidy, and it is not a natural fart in the eyes of Lei Hu, compared to the modern dock of later generations, all he did was to do a good job in the sanitary environment, and then set up rules to adapt to the situation, and then send enough supervisors, the situation of the dock naturally became orderly, and it seemed that the environment was also very good.

Dealing with the government is quite smooth, and Zhongyitang already has a familiar relationship with the Chancheng government, even if the high-level changes of Zhongyitang are drastic, it will not affect the interests of the people in the government.

However, the connection with the foreigners at the wharf is not easy to get around, Lei Hu also spent some thought and energy before, and used his interests to move several foreigners who often run to the Chancheng wharf, so that he successfully completed the task assigned by the hall master Qin Bao, and scared away the gangsters in other halls in the name of foreigners, and won the management of the wharf in one fell swoop.

The matter is actually very simple, Lei Hu found the captain of the foreigner, promised to provide clean water and all kinds of food, and at the same time organized Liba to help the ship carry the goods, and it was easy to reach an agreement with these foreign captains.

If it weren't for the fact that the time was too short and his strength was insufficient, he would even have the idea of preparing the supply of goods and taking over the foreign goods in a whole.

Don't look at the fact that the gate of my Qing Dynasty was forcibly opened by strong ships and cannons, but when the imperial court still had prestige, the local conservative forces were quite stubborn, and few people were willing to take the initiative to contact foreigners.

There is no communication, many things are quite troublesome to do, except for foreigners with ulterior motives, most of the rest of the foreigners come to my Daqing from thousands of miles away, the purpose is just to make money, they naturally don't want to cause more trouble, or don't want to cause trouble, hope that the shipping business can be done more efficiently.

Lei Hu's measures just conformed to their thoughts, as long as Zhongyitang showed enough strength, it would naturally be easy to get the approval of the foreign captain, and then take over all the logistics after the ship docked, for the sake of efficiency, they didn't mind spending so much more money.

This kind of business is actually not easy to do for Zhongyitang and Lei Hu, the main problem is that the foreigners' lofty posture is really unbearable.

Lei Hu's English level is only two knives, not to mention that there are not only British and American merchant ships docked at the dock, he is depressed to find that Zhongyitang is in urgent need of translators.

Naturally, it is impossible for Zhongyitang to hire translators for this matter, so it can only slowly communicate with the foreigners on the shore, anyway, all the foreigners need is logistics services, as long as they are proficient in this matter, it doesn't matter if they can communicate in language or not, a few gestures can easily solve the problem.

It's just that Lei Hu has a headache because the deterrent power of foreigners is too great, and Liba on the dock doesn't even dare to offend the little brother of Zhongyitang easily, let alone the foreigners.

They didn't even dare to make eye contact with foreigners, let alone make any gestures.

As for the little brother of Zhongyitang, the situation is similar, he doesn't even dare to raise his head in front of the foreign adult, Lei Hu is helpless about this, he wonders, those foreigners are not tigers, they are afraid of hair.

Because of this, Lei Hu has to go to the dock every few days, especially when a sea ship docks, he will be notified to come over and have a look, specifically to communicate with foreigners.

With such an experience, Lei Hu didn't expect that his status in Zhongyi Hall had been greatly improved, which made him cry and laugh a little.

Fortunately he came this time, and happened to meet a new foreigner ship, Lei Hu took the initiative to go up and communicate for a while, and finally reached an agreement.

After that, he supervised his younger brothers, as well as the dock Liba, who was busy all the time, until the sun was high and the food around the dock was fragrant.

took the salary from the foreign captain and handed it over to his younger brother for distribution, Lei Hu walked around the dock and didn't find any problems, so he slowly came to Lin Shirong's pork stall and smiled at the guy who was free......
