The quiet pin drop in the living room can be heard...

For the bosses of the Qingsha Gang, although they don't understand what Liu Shen said about short-selling, chambers of commerce and other ways of doing business, they can also feel that this kid seems to have something...

And Ning Hongwu tapped on the handrail on the side with a frown, looking at the contemplative state, as if he was figuring out the truth in Liu Shen's words.

After Liu Shen arched his hand and sat down, he took a sip of the teacup and moistened his throat...

With Su Hui's memory, he knows that it is inevitable that merchants will unite to form a chamber of commerce in history;

If a righteous society like the Qingsha Gang wants to last for a long time, it is not a long-term solution to rely on morality to collect the so-called 'security tax', and it is the general trend to turn from black to business.

But for the people of the time who were limited by their horizons, such thoughts were indeed too advanced, so he just mentioned it and didn't say anything deeply...

"Liu Shen, it makes sense."

Ning Hongwu pondered for a moment and said: "But business matters are related to the foundation of our Qingsha Gang, and I can't decide it alone, so we need to discuss it..."

"As it should be..."

Liu Shen said disapprerovingly: "This matter is just me casually mentioning, joking, the helper doesn't have to take it to heart." ”

“……”

Seeing his posture, Ning Hongwu also nodded thoughtfully, looked around and asked, "Except for Liu Shen, is there anyone else who has any opinions to mention?" ”

“……”

The middle-level members of the Qingsha Gang in the living room all shook their heads after glancing at each other, indicating that there was nothing to say...

"That's okay..."

Ning Hongwu got up and said: "When I came, I already sent someone to call the merchants and laborers at the dock, presumably it should be almost time at this time, since you have no objections, why don't you show up together?" ”

"Let's go..."

A group of middle-level members of the Qingsha Gang followed Ning Hongwu out of the door, chatting on the way about the specific plans for the dock merchants and laborers.

At this time, outside the entrance of the wharf hall, there were hundreds of people standing in the dark, and these people stood on the east and west sides, clearly distinguished.

There are many people on the east side, all of whom are laborers who make a living at the wharf;

There are few people on the west side, and most of them are merchants who make a living at the docks.

Acquaintances exchanged heads and whispered, and the most discussed thing was that the Qingsha Gang had destroyed the Chishui Gang in the past few days, and what impact the Qingsha Gang would have on their own work after controlling the dock...

When I saw a group of people walking out of the wharf hall, whether it was the laborers who were chatting or the worried merchants, they instantly quieted down.

Among the laborers on the east side, Hu Dahai stared at the few people who walked out of the hall as if he had seen a ghost.

He hurriedly pressed his elbow against Shen Hu beside him, and said in a suppressed voice: "Huzi, look... You see... Brother Shen has really entered the Qingsha Gang! ”

“……”

Shen Hu hooked his head as if he also saw Liu Shen walking out of the hall, and said with an extremely excited expression: "Look at you, I'll just say, the people on the dock have been spreading the word in the past two days, saying that Zhang Shichen's little maid was slashed five times by Brother Shen, and Brother Shen was valued by the leader of the Qingsha Gang and took the position of the hall master!" ”

The conversation between the two of them was obviously also heard by the people next to them, and those who knew Liu Shen echoed: "How did I hear that Zhang Shichen's maid was stabbed eight times by Brother Shen?" ”

"Nonsense, it's obviously eighteen knives!"

The other person immediately refuted and told his own gossip: "I also heard that Brother Shen has slaughtered dogs with eighteen knives since elementary school, and that night Zhang Shichen panicked and crashed into Brother Shen'er's hands, and was directly killed on the spot by the eighteen knives of the slaughtering dog!" ”

"Less fart!"

Another person sneered and retorted: "My cousin's brother-in-law's friend is in the Qingsha Gang, saying that Brother Shen chopped Zhang Shichen into meat puree in front of Zhang Wannian that night, and he scolded while chopping, and Zhang Wannian's guy was so angry that he vomited blood." ”

"I'm obedient, I can't see that Brother Shen is so ruthless."

"I've long heard that Brother Shen is the most righteous, and now it's soaring."

“……”

Among the workers at the wharf, the more mysterious and outrageous the more and more the news about Liu Shen was spread, and there was even a ridiculous version of 'Brother Shen is a genius in martial arts, and he chopped Zhang Shichen with a knife after learning martial arts for half a year, and the knife qi when he swung the knife hurt Zhang Wannian who came to the rescue.

The key is that the discerning people hear it as nonsense rumors, and those low-level people who are closed in information and short-sighted really believe it.

For those who practice martial arts, the five senses are already better than ordinary people, and the arguments on the dock workers' side are really not concealed.

Liu Shen's face turned blue and white for a while, and his toes curled up in embarrassment, and he couldn't wait to jump out immediately and say that I, Liu Shen, am really not so awesome.

And the group of Qingsha Gang also looked at Liu Shen with strange expressions, and most of them held back a smile on their faces...

"Silence."

Ning Hongwu's deep voice suppressed the noise on the field, and said: "The contemptible Ning Hongwu is the current gang leader of the Qingsha Gang, and I think you will also know that now it is our Qingsha Gang that takes over the dock work. ”

“……”

The two groups of people who were originally noisy outside the hall heard that the person who spoke was the leader of the Qingsha Gang, and they were so frightened that they shrank their necks and didn't dare to take any more breaths.

For them, the deterrent power of characters like the leader of the Qingsha Gang is greater than that of the official master.

After all, the official master is at least reasonable, and the Jianghu gang talks about the size of a fist with people in most cases...

Ning Hongwu obviously knew this, and gave Liu Shen beside him a look.

And Liu Shen also came out with a comprehension, and said to the dock merchants: "My name is Liu Shen, I grew up at the dock, Li Bo, who sells steamed buns over there, and Uncle Zhang, who sells fish over there, should all know me, I still remember that some people would call me Brother Shen, and some people would call me Shen Zai......

"It's been a few years..."

"Brother Shen at the beginning, whether it was Shen Zai, now that he has grown up, well, he is also promising, he is valued by the Ning Gang Master, and he joined the Qingsha Gang as a deputy hall master..."

"I know that during the period when the Chishui Gang controlled the wharf, they connived at their subordinates to collect all kinds of messy taxes from the shops and merchants on the wharf, and squeezed the shops every once in a while."

"What's more, someone has collected the same tax today, and tomorrow someone else will collect it again, and everyone dares to be angry and dare not speak!"

"Now, the Chishui Gang is gone!"

"My Qingsha Gang takes over the dock work, and I believe in making money together and making money together!"

"Today, I, Liu Shen, have the courage to make it clear for the leader of the Ning Gang here, from now on, there are only two types of taxes for the merchants of the dock shop, the Cao Gang tax and the dock tax, and the previous rules of the Chishui Gang that collect every three days and five days are all invalidated, and all of them are changed to one collection per month!"

"I, Liu Shen and Feng Tang Master, will be stationed at the dock hall here, but if everyone finds that there is a Qingsha gang on the dock to collect taxes indiscriminately, they can come to the hall to make a notice, once it is found, it will not be tolerated!"

“………”

Outside the hall, the quiet needle drop can be heard.

There was an old man selling steamed buns who wanted to speak, but was stopped by his children, and finally, the old man insisted on walking out of the crowd and asked tremblingly: "Shen Zai, can you count what you say?" ”

"Lieber doesn't need to worry too much."

Liu Shen smiled and said with relief: "People can't stand without faith, and industry can't prosper without faith, since I, Liu Shen, dare to open this mouth in public today, it is naturally a number!" ”

Ning Hongwu on the side also nodded and said: "Liu Shen is now the deputy hall master of the dock hall here, and his words and deeds represent my Qingsha Gang and my Ning Hongwu!" ”

As he spoke, he looked around again, and Zhengse said: "This statement has come out, like white soap!" ”

"Good!!"

"Ning Gang Master Gao Yi!"

All the dock shops and merchants have a sense of unreality in their dreams, and they applaud after coming back to their senses!

In contrast, the wharf workers on the east side were still silent, but there was a faint expectation in their expressions.

Liu Shen looked over and said with a smile: "I believe that there are many people who also know me Liu Shen, let me state first, I, Liu Shen, have one head and two arms, and I really don't have the evil that everyone says..."

"Hahahaha~"

The group of dock laborers on the east side all smiled when they heard this, and the pressure in their hearts suddenly disappeared.

Liu Shen said with emotion: "A few years ago, the Chishui Gang took advantage of the flood to force us to eat Cao Bang rice only by signing a deed of sale. ”

"Now that the Chishui Gang is gone, our deed of sale has gone around and around and into the hands of the Qingsha Gang, I know that everyone can't pay thirty taels of silver to redeem themselves, so they don't care about the deed of sale."

"However, I'd rather help the main body post everyone!"

"It also made it clear to me that in the Qingsha Gang, our deed of sale can be redeemed for only five taels of silver and changed back to a good name!"

"Five taels of silver can be changed back to a good book!"

"In addition, the monthly salary of the long-term workers at the Qingsha Gang Wharf has risen by one dollar per person, and the canteen has braised pork three times a month, and the canteen can come to the hall to find me if you dare to braised pork once!"

"Fuck, I, Liu, also grew up eating this big pot of rice, so I'll put the words out today, and if there are no pigs in the canteen at that time, I'll catch you personally!"

"Hahahaha......"
