The two boats went down the river, very quickly, and the group returned to the cabin, sat down to drink tea, and talked about the current situation of the Dahe Gang.

Song Xiaoli was full of spirits: "Since Senior Brother Ma was transferred to the Nujiao Gang, Senior Brother Liu Changqing took over the Dahe Gang, and has been developing upstream, and now the Dahe Gang has entered Sichuan and is confronting several local gangs, they either have a background in the Qingcheng faction, or have a close relationship with the Emei faction, and are not afraid of our threat of force." ”

"Senior Brother Liu Changqing asked to just stand firm first, not to have a fierce conflict with them, as long as we ensure the safety of our own goods and personnel. ”

"In the past few years, the Dahe Gang has been fighting, defeating dozens of gangs along the Yangtze River, and now from Yichang to the east, the Yangtze River waterway is decided by our Dahe Alliance. ”

"The Xiangjiang River, the Han River, and the Ganjiang River have all been cleaned up, so what are the water thieves in Poyang Lake, the Jiuqu Lianzhai of Dongting Lake, and the eighteen docks of Taihu Lake have all been defeated and absorbed. ”

"Now the Yangtze River waterway is the safest ever, all the wharves on both sides of the strait are under our control, no longer chaotic competition for business, stealing goods, robbing passengers has basically been eliminated. ”

"The number of ships walking in the Yangtze River has increased by nearly 50% in the past decade, the number of ships has become larger and larger, and the freight volume has increased by nearly 70%, basically achieving the goal of controlling the Yangtze River waterway set by the head of the family, and ensuring the safety of materials and personnel transported overseas. ”

Lin Yihua asked, "How many people are in the Big River Gang now?"

Song Xiaoli shook his head and said: "I don't know much about this, there are about 20,000 people, right? I am in charge of the section of 500 miles up and down Yueyang, and there are more than 300 core gangs under my command, and more than 2,000 peripheral gangs, from Jiangling to Jiayu are under my jurisdiction, I am the leader of the Yueyang Gang, and I am also in charge of Dongting Lake." ”

"A small gang leader like me, there are more than a dozen of them in the Big River Gang, we are not usually directly under the jurisdiction of the Big River Gang, on the surface it is just an alliance, respect the Big River Gang as the leader of the alliance, the number and strength of each gang are different, specific, Senior Brother Liu knows. ”

In recent years, when a layman looks at the waterway of the Yangtze River, he feels that it is only much safer, and the pattern of power has not changed much.

Lin Yihua smiled: "They have all been promoted to helpers, when will it happen?"

Song Xiaoli said with a smile: "Just last year, hey, this gang leader has nothing to do, it's better to be a hall master in the Dahe Gang, and the messy things every day are endless." ”

Lin Yihua said: "Isn't it every year that the disciples of the management class are assigned over?

Song Xiaoli rolled his eyes and said: "Your Lin Hall Master really doesn't have a back pain when he says this, there are less than ten new disciples assigned to the front line of Dahe every year, and there are sometimes two or three people left in the headquarters of the Dahe Gang, and there are a few left, how many people go to rob them, in the past few years, there are only four people who have been assigned to the Yueyang Gang, one each from the general affairs, business, account room, and treasury, and the others are not for me to come in person." ”

Lin Yihua frowned and said: "There are still fewer managers trained in the mountains, and you have to train yourself." ”

Song Xiaoli said: "We also train ourselves, but the students who come out are not good, the Dahe Gang also opened a class a few years ago, it is strange to say, the same teaching materials, the courses are exactly the same, but the students taught are a lot worse, which makes Senior Brother Liu ......angry."

Linghu Yichong and a few others saw the two senior brothers talking about management affairs, and they felt bored, so they all went to the bow of the boat to chat.

Lu Yiyou asked Linghu Yichong with a smile: "Brother Chong, when you go back this time, you can see Senior Sister Shang, how are you two developing?"

Linghu Yichong's face turned red and said, "What are you talking about?"

Lu Yi said seriously: "Brother Chong, you have to be tight! Senior Sister Shang is so beautiful, her martial arts are high, up and down Mount Hua, how many senior brothers are eyeing you, you have been back to the mountain several times in the past few years, and you have met Senior Sister Shang a few times, you are not in a hurry, we are all anxious for you." ”

Lin Pingzhi and Yue Yihua both smiled, looking at Linghu Yichong, Linghu Yichong turned his head to the front, the boats in the Xiangjiang River were coming and going, and it was very lively, but his thoughts had already flown thousands of miles away, ignoring Lu Yiyou.

A worry slowly came around her heart, I haven't seen her for two years, is she okay in the mountains?

Is it still so fresh and refined, and you don't like to take care of people?

Are you still so unwilling to admit defeat and practice hard?

Lu Yiyou wanted to say something, Yue Yihua pulled him, shook his head, glared at him, and the three of them felt bored and turned to the stern.

Yue Yihua asked Lin Pingzhi, "Pingzhi, what Senior Brother Lin said, how did Uncle Lin think about it?"

Lin Pingzhi said distressedly: "My father is still very excited, but our family is sparsely populated, if we really want to open a manor overseas, we need to go to someone to preside over it, and my mother is not very willing." ”

Yue Yihua said: "The southern part of the Ryukyus is not far from Fuzhou, and you can walk back and forth in a few days, and the problem is not very big. ”

Lin Pingzhi: "We all know this, but my mother is quite afraid of the sea, and my father can't do without the dart game, so he is struggling?"

Yue Yihua said: "Why don't you go overseas for the business of the dart game? So that Uncle Lin can often go back and forth between overseas and the mainland." ”

Lin Pingzhi rolled his eyes and said: "Now that the open sea is so calm, who still uses a dart game to protect it, not to mention, my family does not have a sea boat." ”

Yue Yihua thought for a while and said: "Why don't we get a sea ship to go overseas, I have seen the list of materials sent overseas, most of them are porcelain, silk, cloth or something, but now there are so many people of the Ming Dynasty overseas, their needs for materials are as diverse as those on the mainland, but only a few sea ships will bring some by the way, far from meeting the needs of these millions of people." ”

Lin Pingzhi's eyes lit up and said, "This is a good idea, now that overseas immigrants are very rich, they should be willing to spend money to buy our things." ”

Yue Yihua said: "After returning to the mountain, I will go to find Senior Brother Yi Ming, he manages the general affairs hall, and he must know which things are more popular, so we will purchase them according to the list, go to sea from Fuzhou, and send them to various residences in the open sea, or let them place an order and make a reservation, and send it over next time." ”

"Well, so you have to keep people at each point to be responsible for the management, collection, delivery, and receipt of bookings for these supplies, so that you need a lot of people. ”

"Just keep one person in each town, and when the sales are large, we will slowly increase the number of people. ”

Lu Yiyou heard that the two brothers actually wanted to do business, so he hurriedly said: "You can't pull me down, I also want to participate." ”

Yue Yihua said with a smile: "Of course you have a share, take out all the money you have saved for marrying your daughter-in-law from the bank, and count it as your 20% share." ”

Lu Yiyou spent money a little lavishly, and for many years, he only saved more than 100 taels of silver, which was far from enough to buy a ship and do business, but Yue Yihua did not directly count it according to the amount of money.

"Dayong also left two percent. ”

Yue Yihua clasped his fingers and said, "Then what is the name of our firm......?" Four seasons?"

Lu Yiyou said with contempt: "It's too bland, our brother's business house must be heroic, the four seas, no, no, there are already four dragons, four masters, four heavenly kings, what do you say?"

Yue Yihua and Lin Yizhi made a contemptuous move, and Lin Yizhi pondered for a moment.

"It's better to call it the four-dimensional line. ”

"Four dimensions!"

"Good!"
