Today's Chan city is very prosperous......

The street is bustling with people coming and going, and the business atmosphere is quite strong.

Because of the geographical location, the prosperity here is not as good as the provincial capital Huacheng, but Chancheng has a benefit that the provincial capital Huacheng is incomparable, that is, the public security environment in half of the city is too good.

There are no green-skinned gangsters wandering around, and there are no people in the yamen who want to take cards, there are teams of young people patrolling the streets from time to time, and there are good people of Zhongyitang wandering around to investigate the people's situation, once they find that someone dares to do that act to disrupt the order, the end is absolutely worrying.

With the help of Zhongyitang to negotiate with the officials of the yamen, the shops and businesses on the street cost a lot less, and although the taxes were still heavy, there was no need to pay for the excessive exploitation of the people in the yamen.

For this point alone, the commercial atmosphere in half of Chancheng controlled by Zhongyitang is quite good, and all traders with some strength are willing to do business on this side.

For no other reason, it's peace of mind!

The other half of the merchants and ordinary people in the urban area who were not under the control of Zhongyitang had long been concerned about the prosperity and stability of the opposite city, and from time to time they clamored for Zhongyitang to come over to maintain order in the market.

For this matter, the gang hall in half of the city was nervous for a while, and the relationship with Zhongyi Hall quickly became cold, even if there was a secret collusion, the line had to be drawn on the surface.

Cutting off people's financial means is like killing your parents!

Chancheng's plate is so big, and the gangs in the other half of the city do not have the ability to operate like Zhongyitang, and their main means of revenue are still the same.

The old method of these gangs to make money is quite serious for the businessmen and the people, and it also destroys the order of the market, so that the business atmosphere in the market is also seriously affected, and the income is further compressed.

But the more the income is compressed, the more these gangs exploit the businessmen and people in the territory, which is a very serious vicious circle, and the situation will only get worse and worse.

Fortunately, Zhongyitang came forward and almost fed all the officials in the yamen, and these wolf-like guys in the past did not come forward to scrape another layer of land, otherwise the life of the merchants and ordinary people in the city who were not controlled by Zhongyitang would be even more sad.

"Don't come nonsense, being able to control half of the Chancheng rivers and lakes is already the limit that the government can tolerate!"

Facing the high-level leaders of the Zhongyi Hall who were shaken in their minds, or ambitious, Lei Hu unceremoniously poured cold water: "Do you really think that Chancheng is where we have the final say?" ”

At this time, I was in the Qing Dynasty, and the old witch was in charge, although the prestige of the imperial court was not as good as before, but the local situation did not collapse to the point of going their own way.

After the so-called 'Tongzhi Zhongxing', although he had a fierce fight with the French not long ago, although he lost a lot at the negotiating table, the actual loss was still within the scope of the imperial court.

The imperial court suppressed the local forces, especially the Jianghu forces, quite severely, and the southern coastal areas were extremely suppressed because of their ties with the revolutionary party.

These, Lei Hu did not explain to the turtles in Zhongyi Hall, but the interests are moving, and from time to time there are always high-level people who want to stretch out their hands to the other half of the city.

Fortunately, Qin Bao has always attached great importance to Lei Hu's reminders, and he has suppressed them strongly, although there are voices of expansion from time to time in the Zhongyi Hall, they are finally suppressed by him.

"If anyone really can't help it, then leave the Zhongyi Hall and stand on their own, I will definitely not retaliate!"

Even such cruel words were released, and some bad thoughts of the high-level of the hall were immediately extinguished.

Just kidding, seeing that half of the Chan City under the control of Zhongyitang is in full swing, the streets are prosperous and prosperous, and there is a thriving wharf, as the high-level officials of the hall, they follow to eat meat and drink soup, and their monthly income is hundreds of taels, so a fool will take the initiative to give up such a great opportunity.

The group of people below who have experienced the competition in the ring, all of whom have extraordinary martial arts, are all wide-eyed and eager to replace them, and no one will give up their good interests.

Of course, no matter what era it is, it is impossible for a person with money and powerful people in his hands to have strong influence.

Although Zhongyitang did not directly intervene in the interests of the other half of the city, its influence had already penetrated into the past, especially those who followed Zhongyitang to eat and eat, and they had a lot of respect for the high-level leaders of Zhongyitang, and even had a little bit of a forward-looking posture.

These are all trivial matters, but Lei Hu did not forget to remind Qin Bao that it was best for him to buy the identity of an official, such as a fictitious title such as a general, which is of great benefit to the stable development of Zhongyitang.

As half of the city becomes more prosperous, and there are more prosperous docks, it will definitely attract the eyes of some guys, especially those in the government who have to be more vigilant.

It is not too much to describe my Qing officials as insatiable.

Although Zhongyitang is the head snake of Chancheng, no matter which official is in the territory of Chancheng, if he wants to sit in a stable position, he must ask Zhongyitang not to make trouble in secret, otherwise he will not even be able to sit in an official position.

Moreover, Zhongyitang also has the means and energy to pull down the Chancheng officials who do not deal with it, but this kind of thing is very taboo, and it is better not to use it.

When competing with two masters, only the fist that has not yet been blasted is the most feared, and once the fist is played, there is less of this deterrent.

The financial resources in the hands of Zhongyitang are indeed eye-catching, and they can't always fight with people as if they are black-eyed, if they really want to annoy the government, the matter will only get worse when it reaches the governor of Liangguang.

At this time, Qin Leopard, as the master of the Hall of Loyalty, if he had a layer of official cover, many things would be much easier to do.

Not only Qin Bao, but it is best for the high-level officials in the hall to buy an official body, the kind that does not need a real job, with this layer of skin, no matter who comes to Chancheng to be an official in the future, if you want to move the interests of Zhongyitang, you have to weigh the consequences.

Qin Bao listened to it, and is currently asking someone to make some connections, and is preparing to change all the high-level officials in the hall, even Lei Hu is no exception.

These things naturally have nothing to do with ordinary people, but with the increasing prosperity of Chancheng and the wharf, the market culture has become rich and colorful, and the urban area of Chancheng has gathered a lot of opera troupes and storytellers, as well as all kinds of miscellaneous people who make a living from juggling.

Among them, it is natural that there are few guys who work hard to play with big knives, or perform chest crushing boulders, they control the territory of Zhongyi Hall to make a living, and their lives are not bad.

In the meantime, there is such a man with a strong Qilu accent, who is really good in his own right, a big knife dancing in his hand is impermeable and whirring, and there is a very powerful horizontal practice kung fu that is shocking......
