Chapter 698 is here
After a heated discussion, everyone was amazed by Hua Feng's talent: it is really a pen walking dragon and snake, writing spring and autumn!
If you don't have a lot of insights and experiences in your chest, how can you write such an unfathomable classic?
If you are not generous-minded, how can you have so many close friends?
If the mind is not comparable to the sky and the sea, how can we achieve today's achievements?
"One word, one treasure, one stroke, one secret", those eight big characters, deserve this reputation!
......
Then there was no delay along the way, and a group of thousands of people, which lasted two months, finally arrived at the Xiangjiang River.
After eating lunch, the Great Elder of the Beggar Gang couldn't care about the hardships of the long journey, and immediately pulled the Xiao family master and the Ma family master, clamoring to see the place where the cultivation tower was located.
The "Seventeen Heroes of Martial Arts" also misses the cultivation tower very much, and also wants to revisit the old place.
So the group set off again.
Soon, a tall stone tablet came into view, with six big characters on it, "The Site of the Former Site of the Tower of Cultivation".
The font is sculpted, decent, and stands out in any way.
What caught everyone's attention was the stele itself.
A monument was erected to commemorate it, indicating that the two heads of the family, Xiao and Ma, were not the ones who crossed the river and demolished the bridge.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the location of the area is excellent, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, you can not only sell for a good price, but also build your own house to live.
But the two families set up a monument for their thoughts, which shows that they are really people who drink water and think of the source.
......
Behind the stele is a ruin.
Just like when the Cultivation Tower collapsed, it did not change in the slightest.
It turned out that after the Xiao and Ma families reconciled, they decided to erect a monument to commemorate the various benefits brought to them by the Cultivation Tower.
As for those ruins, it was the collapse of the Cultivation Tower, of course, it is better to preserve them in their original form.
And before Hua Feng proposed to select the site of the three helms of the Beggar Gang, he also asked for the opinions of Xiao and Ma. After the two discussed, they thought that if the beggar gang could really take a fancy to the place, they would naturally give it away for free.
Moreover, you can also choose to send people to do what you can. For example, clearing rubble, building houses, etc.
......
There are three main reasons why the two heads of the family are so enthusiastic.
First, it is because of the situation.
Since Hua Feng has made this move, he has naturally thought twice.
After getting along together for a few months, the two of them already respected Hua Feng like gods, how could this little thing not be allowed?
Second, push the boat down the river.
That piece of ruins is not very useful in the hands at present, and it is shared by two families, and it is very troublesome to divide, and once it is not done well, it is likely to hurt the harmony of the two families again.
Therefore, it is better to push the boat down the river, which not only gives Hua Feng face, but also makes the beggar help this behemoth owe a favor.
Third, large trees provide shade.
Once the helmsman of the beggar gang is finalized here, the Xiao and Ma families will have a strong neighbor. "Many friends and many roads", "Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors", "It is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree"......
These famous aphorisms are all applicable to Xiao and Ma.
Although there is a saying that "by the side of the couch, others will not be allowed to sleep soundly", but that is relative to the king and to the hostile forces.
For friends, the more the merrier, all of them are better than neighbors!
......
After the elders of the Beggar Gang repeatedly surveyed around the ruins, and gathered in one place and whispered for a while, the Great Elder immediately suggested to the gang leader Hong Fulai:
"Qiyu Gang Master, this place has a strong aura, and there is a heroic righteousness. More importantly, it is located in the Central Plains and far away from the Qing court, which is an ideal place for the general rudder. Therefore, we will propose that the helm be built here!"
Hong Fulai, who was discussing the stick method with Ran Huanyu and Xiang Tianxiao, waved his hand: "So good? Then let's be here! Don't bother the two masters, the great elder will work hard again and build it as soon as possible!"
The Great Elder of the Beggar Gang nodded yes and smiled bitterly.
It's really drunk to meet such a hands-off helper!
......
Seeing that the beggar gang had reached a consensus and determined that the general rudder would be built on the original site of the Cultivation Tower, Hua Feng, the Xiao family master, and the Ma family master took the lead in congratulating them.
Hua Feng laughed: "On behalf of the 'Seventeen Heroes of Martial Arts', the South China Dart Bureau and a group of fellow friends, Hua Mou would like to send 10 million taels of silver tickets to congratulate you on the completion of the helm of your gang in advance!"
The head of the Xiao family immediately said: "The Xiao family will send a hundred people for your gang to drive. After the rudder is built, it is not too late to return to the same number. ”
The head of the Ma family also said: "The Ma family is on par with the Xiao family!"
The speeches of the three of them made the elders of the Beggar Gang, who had nothing and were worried about how to build the general rudder, suddenly overjoyed.
Where can you be pretentious? I just can't stop thanking.
......
10,000,000 taels of silver, 200 people, no matter the financial resources and manpower, it is enough!
Otherwise, to raise 10 million taels of silver tickets in a short period of time is tantamount to a fantasy for the Beggar Gang, the poorest gang in the world.
Two hundred people, it is not difficult to gather. However, it is not only a waste of time, but also easy to attract the attention of the government.
After all, the concentration of hundreds of beggar disciples in one place is very easy to attract attention. In addition, no matter how much construction is carried out, wouldn't the movement be even greater?
......
It turned out that as early as when he decided to disband the Anti-Qing Rebellion, Hua Feng had already considered the financial problem of the establishment of the beggar gang.
And specially explained that the commander of the rear army did not have much money: no matter how difficult it was, at least 15 million taels of silver tickets should be left for backup.
After all, no matter what the reason, the fact that the beggars paid nearly 3,000 lives in this battle cannot be changed.
Moreover, the lord of the gang has no place to live.
In such a predicament, how could Hua Feng sit idly by?
It was only at this time that Qian Buduo understood Hua Feng's intention of asking him to prepare fifteen million taels of silver tickets.
10,000,000 taels were used to fund the beggars' gang to build a general rudder.
The five million taels were naturally used by the rest of the people to purchase facilities after arriving at the new home of the "Seventeen Heroes of Martial Arts".
......
The so-called "people have no long-term concerns, but they must have near-term worries." ”
If Hua Feng didn't have this foresight, what should the beggars do now?
Begging?
Loot?
Robbing the government?
None of them are the best policy!
10,000,000 taels of silver, but it's not so easy to raise.
If there's too much commotion, how do you settle here?
......
When everything was agreed, everyone was in a good mood.
The feast jointly organized by Xiao and Ma came at the right time.
This is not only a congratulatory banquet, but also a welcome banquet, but also a farewell banquet.
Congratulations to the beggars for choosing the helmsman.
Xiangjiang is a decent martial artist, and it has been a big help since then.
Therefore, a congratulatory feast must be had!
Welcome to Xiangjiang as a guest.
Except for dozens of people such as the "Seventeen Heroes of Martial Arts", most of the rest of the people came to Xiangjiang for the first time.
So, of course, the welcome banquet is indispensable!
Farewell to the "Seventeen Heroes of Martial Arts" and other heroes.
Hua Feng and the others parted this time, and the possibility of returning to Xiangjiang is very small.
Therefore, a farewell feast is indispensable!
......
During the banquet, the elders of the beggar gang, who had always been restrained, were all drunk.
Even the Great Elder is no exception!
