The World of Martial Arts

Chapter 16 The Shadow Godfather
After that, in Yuhang County, murders and tragedies occurred every day for a month, and people were bleeding on the streets every day.

It is called Bloody January by the locals, except for the liquidation of the family members of the original upper group of the Nanshan Gang.

Other small gangs seem to have found an opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to rise and give him a competition.

Even though Xu Zhengping didn't want to take care of things, he was forced to come out and kill many people in order to stabilize the situation.

Those gang leaders who promised Xu Zhengping to liquidate the clan forces in Nanshan'ao would fill their coffins with the heads of the targeted family members every day and bring them to Xu Zhengping for review.

Most of them were old and weak, women and children, and Xu Zhengping didn't have any fluctuations in his heart.

Fu Tianxiang, the steward of the weaving workshop, couldn't bear it, and tried to dissuade him: "Master, the Nanshan Gang can't do evil now, why bother to implicate the family like this, it's really..."

Xu Zhengping shook his head and said, "You think I'm cruel, and I can understand that. But I hope you understand one thing, the premise of not harming one's family is that one cannot benefit one's family.

These Nanshan gang leaders have done many evil things, don't their families know about it?If you know it, you can still enjoy everything you plundered with peace of mind, isn't it a crime? "

Xu Zhengping shook his head again, and said with firm eyes: "Not only is he guilty, but the crime is not small! They are equivalent to accomplices! Because they are the source of power for these leaders to wantonly plunder and kill others! How can they be called innocent?"

There is also a real case, Qu Wanting, an early Internet singer, her mother was the leader of a certain company in the Northeast, the company went bankrupt, and the state allocated a large amount of severance expenses, all of which were embezzled by her mother and transferred to Qu Wanting, Let him hide abroad and enjoy himself happily.

However, in the Northeast, countless families died of freezing and starvation in the ice and snow!

Qu Wanting is not corrupt, but is she innocent?In particular, she is still leading public opinion abroad to promote her mother's various whitewashing, shouldn't she be killed?
So don't say that there is any problem with the three tribes of Yi and the nine tribes in ancient times, it is still a principle, the premise that the disaster can't hurt the family is that the family can't be benefited!

A month later, Yuhang County fell into a complete calm. Most of those who wanted to make trouble had been killed.

The Nanshan Clan under Xu Zhengping's control has officially passed the stage of power transfer after this bloody massacre.

But there are still many things to be arranged in the future, and these are not the decisions of the current gang leader and deputy gang leader.

Xu Zhengping was practicing swordsmanship in the yard, while the current head of the Nanshan Clan, Zhang Wenqing, and the deputy head of the Nanshan Clan, Fu Xiaowu, were waiting by the side.

It wasn't until Xu Zhengping finished practicing the saber that the two dared to speak.

Gang Zhang Wenqing said: "Besides Mr. Xu, all the major gangs in Yuhang County have surrendered, and they either take the initiative to be annexed by this gang, or leave Yuhang completely, and the others have been killed.

Now that the situation has been settled, this booklet is all the business that the gang has mastered, as well as the list of all gang members, please look carefully. "

Xu Zhengping took the booklet in a nonchalant manner, opened it and looked through it.

Written at the top is the amount of floating wealth copied from the Nanshan Gang, which is calculated to total more than [-] taels of silver.

It looks like a lot, but it's actually not much. After all, this is the family property of all the core backbones, including the gang leader.

Of course, most of them are real estate. These include shops, brothels, gambling halls and manors outside the city, which are calculated separately.

This is more than 5 taels of floating wealth.Xu Zhengping thought for a moment and said: "Move 1 taels to me, and the rest will be used for the development of the guild. You all use it together, don't be greedy for everything yourself!"

The two young sect leaders were just at the time when they were full of ambitions, knowing the seriousness of this matter, they all nodded their heads.

Xu Zhengping continued to read, and by looking at various real estate properties, he found that the Nanshan Gang controlled a wide range of businesses.

After this turmoil, all brothels and gambling halls in Yuhang County have been controlled by the Nanshan Gang.

In addition, car and boat shops are also infiltrated in all aspects, and these five major industries are also places with the most gray and black.

As the saying goes: The feet and teeth of the car and boat shop should be killed if they are innocent, which is enough to explain many things.

Smuggling of stolen goods, human trafficking, robbery and murder are all inseparable from these five major industries, and of course the money earned will definitely not be small.

Xu Zhengping pressed the brochure, pondered for a moment, and said, "Business can continue, but I will change the rules.

Anyone who involves human trafficking, robbery and murder is prohibited, this is one of them;

In the operation of a gambling shop, you must not lure people to gamble and cheat, and force people to ruin their lives. This is the second;
The rules of the brothel are not to force girls to be prostitutes. If there are not enough sisters, you can hire them with a lot of money. You must be willing and not forced.

All private prostitutes in the county are closed, and everyone can only enter our brothel for business. Anyone who dares to have a private business will be killed without mercy!

Others are not allowed to open brothels in the city, and we monopolize the gambling and women's tickets. "

The two nodded quickly, but the ambitious deputy leader Fu Xiaowu said, "But in this way, the guild will lose a lot of income."

Xu Zhengping said coldly: "Then chop off some waste that eats nothing. Hmph, the population of a mere Yuhang Town is small. I think there are more than [-] gang members recorded in this booklet, and they still have to pay their salaries every month." , are you preparing to rebel and fight?"

Gang Zhang Wenqing quickly said: "Boss, these are members of other gangs who have taken refuge with us, so there are many more people temporarily."

Xu Zhengping nodded, "Since the gang spent money to support them, they have to work.

I decided to cut off some black income, so the manpower must be fully utilized.

I think there are some Zhuangzi outside the county, and I invite some people who can manage production to organize these useless wastes to the countryside to farm for me to grow mulberry, or raise pigs and fish to repair bridges and pave roads.

There is no shortage of water and soil in the south of the Yangtze River, only endless work.

If these people join the gang because they want to be lazy and domineering, you can tell them that the gang doesn't support useless people, and they must get out of Yuhang County or die, understand? "

Zhang Wenqing and Fu Xiaowu caused a lot of trouble in Yuhang County during this time, and they were the people who turned their hands into clouds and rained their hands, but they didn't even dare to breathe in front of Xu Zhengping, they just responded one after another.

But my heart is also full of doubts. In this way, what the Nanshan Gang does is not all righteous, is it still called gangsters?
Xu Zhengping continued: "Of course, if you perform well in the countryside, you can also be recommended to enter the city. There are also some workshops in the city. You can arrange to learn some crafts as appropriate, and live and work here in peace."

Zhang Wenqing said: "In this way, everyone will run to do the right thing. In the future, the gang's control over them will be very low, and we will not have enough thugs to use."

"It's very simple, soldiers are more expensive than elites, you choose some people who have martial arts background, the upper limit is 200 people, I go to the main helm every morning to practice swords, and I can teach you martial arts.

If you have practiced it, it is much more effective than a group of mobs. If you think it is not strong enough, you can hire officers and soldiers who have retired from the imperial court to train with military law and prohibit orders. It will also be more effective than the original Nanshan Gang. "

The two of them didn't think much about inviting officers and soldiers to teach them, but they also wrote it down, but they were more interested in Xu Zhengping teaching martial arts himself, and they both wanted to learn it very much.

Xu Zhengping continued: "Besides, we are gangsters after all, and I also promised the county magistrate, inside and outside Yuhang County, that the tax that can be collected will be collected for him, and the tax that cannot be collected will also be collected for him!

Please ask a few literati who know how to operate, as a bridge to communicate with the county government documents, to help us understand the income of all walks of life in the county.

Then invite the leaders of the major guilds to meet, set the insurance premiums and taxes for each store, and pay them on time.

As for the countryside, it will be a little more troublesome. You can discuss it with them. If you want to do business in the city, follow our rules and pay the full amount of money we have to collect. We will keep [-]% of this money, [-]% to the county magistrate, and [-]% Cheng paid taxes to the county government. "

Zhang Wenqing said: "The squires are very powerful, what if they don't agree?"

Xu Zhengping sneered and said: "In Yuhang County, we have the final say. Qianglong still doesn't overwhelm the local snakes. It's really too eye-catching to kill the whole family at home, but if their goods can't enter the city, or if they enter the city, they can't sell them. You can't do anything about it. ?"

"But if that's the case, don't those country gentry want to hate us to death?"

"Grasp the degree well. It is said that harmony makes money. They should understand this truth. If there are a few tough battles to be fought, then they should do it. Hmph, why should the Jianghu be afraid of the imperial court?"

If it was in the real historical world, Xu Zhengping might not have dared to deal with the squires like this, but the truth in this world is not the case, the rivers and lakes and courts are dominant side by side.

The imperial power does not go to the countryside, the rivers and lakes are among the people, and the localities are fighting each other, and the power is more powerful.
