"No, you're all wrong. Hearing this, Wu Pengnian didn't react, but Chen Shangfa reacted, shook his head and said: "According to what you said, what you did was to reduce the losses of the people, in this case, you can directly protect them without charging their protection fees, in the final analysis, you are still arguing for yourself." ”

"yes, you're quibbling. Wu Pengnian also reacted when he heard this, and glared angrily at Li Changsheng.

In the face of the questioning of the two, Li Changsheng was not angry, but showed an approving smile on his face, "Well, that's a good point, but then what?"

"Of course, we don't charge protection money to protect them, but then what? What do you eat and drink for the Black Flag Army? What do you have to feed yourself, to farm, or to be workers, I don't mean that there is anything wrong with these two, but once you become a thorough labor force, what do you use to train, what do you use to defend your home and country in the future, and use your hoe in your hand?"

"It is indeed inappropriate to charge protection money, but at this stage, the best way to keep the Black Flag Army and try not to compromise the interests of the people, training, life, and even buying weapons, which does not cost money. “

"Even if you take 10,000 steps back, don't need money, and support yourself, how much time can you have to protect the people who are being collected by the underworld people and are endlessly blackmailed, do you think that repelling the underworld people once is considered a chivalrous act? ”

"Unless you can kill all the underworlds, otherwise, once you leave, those people will be persecuted and retaliated by the people in the underworld, and when the time comes, the loss will not only be money, but even the lives of their families will be put on the line, I ask you, can you guarantee that you will protect which group of people you will protect at all times without charging protection money and not having enough money to support yourself?

Li Changsheng's words were deafening, and instantly put the two military men on the spot, Wu Pengnian was okay, in the end, his brain couldn't turn around, but he was frightened by Li Changsheng's sudden burst of momentum, Chen Shangfa is different, he can become the deputy general of the Black Flag Army, not to mention anything else, at least his brain is still good, Li Changsheng's words suddenly made him understand how stupid his question was, and his face turned pale for a while, and he couldn't speak.

Looking at the two big men who were suppressed on the spot, Li Changsheng knew that although he had subdued the Black Flag Army, if he wanted them to believe in himself wholeheartedly, he had to break the facts, crumple them, and let them understand that this group of people would become the most important force in his hands, at least, before the admiral of the imperial court who was looking for trouble came to Foshan, the power in his hands must be ironclad.

Therefore, seeing that the two of them were suppressed, Li Changsheng also slowed down his expression, and his voice became a lot softer, "I know, the three words of protection fee are really unacceptable, this is not just the two of you, I believe that many people in our Xinghuang Gang are now criticized for this, even my master Huang Feihong is also incomprehensible, but because of me, he is willing to reluctantly support, just give it a try." ”

"You might as well think like this, don't treat the protection fee as a protection fee, treat him as a kind of tax, the court collects taxes, stabilizes the world, and protects the people from infringement, it should be common sense, but you have also seen it now, as the foreigners break the country, the court is becoming more and more corrupt, where is there still effort to protect the people, they don't persecute the people, it's all good." “

"Therefore, we collect the so-called protection fee, in fact, we are collecting another part of the tax, although it will bring a certain pressure to the people, but compared to before, it is already much better, and, you can rest assured, I will not keep letting the people pay protection money, I just want to use this way to let the Black Flag Army and the Xinghuang Gang gain a foothold and strengthen, and be able to integrate the power of the people, so as to open up a new situation. “

"Today's payment is for the glory of the future, the people of the Xinghuang Gang are all loyal and brave men of the Black Flag Army, you might as well be like my master, see with your own eyes, what I have done, whether it is right or wrong, if you still can't recognize it in the end, I think, with your ability, it is not difficult not to listen to me from now on." Li Changsheng said.

The two of them were first shocked by Li Changsheng's momentum, and then when they heard such a serious explanation, an idea involuntarily appeared in their minds, that is, Li Changsheng's words may be right, although collecting protection money is not a good thing, but if it is used properly, it may not be as unbearable as they imagined.

I saw the two of them glance at each other, and then, Chen Shangfa took the lead in arching his hand towards Li Changsheng and said: "Deputy gang leader, this matter, the two of us are wrong, we said it at the beginning, and we will listen to your dispatch in the future, and we dare not disobey it, but now it has just begun, we don't trust you, please punish you." “

As he spoke, Chen Shangfa knelt on one knee and looked guilty.

Seeing this, Wu Pengnian hurriedly followed suit, knelt on the ground, and said with a guilty face: "Also, and me, the deputy gang leader, yes, I'm sorry, I've always been a thorn, and I'm not convinced when I lose to you, I've always been hostile to you, I, I was wrong, please forgive me, you beat me, whatever you do, I, old Wu, I will definitely listen to you in the future, and I don't dare to have any doubts." “

Seeing this, Li Changsheng hurriedly stretched out his hand to help the two of them, "Brother Chen, Brother Wu, what are you doing, I know, what I did was really shocking and deviant, you are right to have doubts, in fact, you have doubts, I am very happy." “

"As the saying goes, a wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, no one dares to guarantee that he will always be right, if you have doubts, I will not go down the wrong path, if you agree with me in everything, maybe I will be arrogant in the future, and I will not see the status quo clearly, so there is nothing wrong with the two eldest brothers. In the future, if you have any doubts, I can explain to you that the Xinghuang Gang is not for me Li Changsheng, but for me to be able to gain a foothold in this turbulent situation. “

"In the future, I will ask the two eldest brothers to continue to support me, remind me, assist me, carry forward the Xinghuang Gang, and revitalize Yanhuang, it's up to the two of them. Li Changsheng said.

"Deputy Gang Leader!" Hearing this, the two of them instinctively boiled with blood, and their eyes were full of reverence when they looked at Li Changsheng.
