The light of the sword is like the moon reflecting on Kyushu

Chapter 238
Today is a special day.

The people in the entire Gwangju City are spreading wild rumors that Qiu Yingwu, the young master of the Qiu family, is going to open a warehouse with the government to release food!
It is said that money will be given to the poor!

20 taels per person!It's equivalent to half a year's salary of a buddy in Jinyu Restaurant!

Until the moment when the government notice was posted, the dust finally settled.Everyone finally believed it was true.

Of course, whoever wants to receive the 20 taels of silver must prove that they are poor!

There was a crowd of people around a notice.As soon as the proof was required, someone scolded on the spot: "How can the poor prove that they are poor? Could it be that the word "poor" is engraved on the face?" But another person said: "It's not that complicated, as long as you go to the gate of the yamen To receive the money, it’s fine if thirty officials and more than 70 local celebrities don’t recognize you as a rich man! This is called counter-evidence!”

It doesn't matter if you are fake poor, don't let officials and celebrities recognize you!
More than 100 pairs of eyes screen the identity and no one dares to fake it!

The cursing party continued to scold: "If the rich people collude with them and collude with each other, and find thousands of their own people to pretend to claim it, one person will be 20 taels, and 1000 people will be 2 taels! 5000 people will be 10 taels." Two! Although Young Master Qiu is a member of the underworld, but this time he is obviously doing good deeds, if he finds out about it, he must kill them!"

The party who persuaded said: "Well, if you dare to claim Qiu Shao's money, you are not looking for death? So who would take that risk? You should hurry up and inform your poor relatives, whether they can take it or not, go Besides, if you don’t take it for nothing, there will be no such shop after passing this village!”

It made sense for one person to hear it before, so he said: "No, I have to inform my poor relatives immediately!"

There are many similar scenes in Gwangju!
At first, some people were skeptical, but in the end they all went to the gate of the yamen to queue up to receive money and food with the idea of ​​"if there is something, it will be good, if there is nothing, it will be down!"
It's really a sea of ​​people!
Feng Jiuxiao, in order to prevent the people in the distance from being busy, told Major General Qiu to set up the distribution points in a decentralized manner, with counties and townships as the unit, and it would take less than a day to go back and forth from each village to the township, and everyone could bear this kind of fatigue.In order to ensure that most people can be benefited, Feng Jiuxiao suggested that the distribution time be [-] days!Make sure most people know the news and make sure they have time to go out and collect their money!Those with physical disabilities can be taken by other people!Of course, the local yamen should play a good role!How can the prefect of Guangzhou take this kind of thing that can win the official voice lightly?I have been exhorted and exhorted a long time ago!Ask whoever made a mistake!

In addition, there is only one thing for the common people. If they claim it falsely, the government will be held accountable for the crime of fraud!This one is clearly written on the official notice!
But word has spread among the common people that the official's pursuit of responsibility is one aspect, and the Qiu family has also let out the wind secretly that anyone who dares to impersonate the leader will be punished!

As for the standard of the poor is too easy to define.

There is no tile on the roof, and there is no overnight food at home.

As long as you dare to say that you are poor, I, Qiu Yingwu, will give it to you!

But if I, Qiu Yingwu, know that you are pretending to be poor and claiming silver, I don’t care about the ten taels or eighty taels. Even if 1 people pretend to claim money, isn’t it only 20 taels?But I, Qiu, hate people lying to me the most!One counts as one, and whoever dares to pretend to claim it will chop off his hand!

Poor people can get it, but they have their words first, except for gamblers!Because a gambler will lose again when he gets the money, and giving him money is harming him!

If gamblers appear at the money collection scene, they will be caught one by one!All locked up in Gwangju Prison!Don't release it until the money and food are distributed!They also have to pay for the food paid by the middle yamen!If you don't take it out, you will be responsible for eighty!Forty sticks are usually enough to kill, but eighty sticks are definitely not enough to keep people alive!Therefore, if the gambler spared his life, he would naturally not appear.The article about gamblers was added by Feng Jiuxiao, he didn't want the good things to go out of order in the end.

Dozens of vehicles loaded with silver from the Qiu family rushed to various townships and counties, and some one-legged thieves and thieves began to move around!
But they didn't expect that the Gwangju Baidao Martial Arts Academy, which is usually not ashamed of what the Qiu family did, would be surprisingly united, and they would all come out to act as bodyguards!

These Baidao martial arts people learned some inside information through gossip, the Qiu family has already surrendered to Yingyue Villa!
And the owner of Yingyue Villa is still the leader of some kind of mountain alliance!Finally, after inquiring again, it turns out that the name of the leader of the Mountain League has long been known!
Feng Jiuxiao!
He once teamed up with the nephew and uncle Zeng of Sky Eagle Castle to kill the five masters of Lingxiao City, and he killed three of them by himself!When he first came out of the rivers and lakes, he dared to compete with Young Master Yan of Lingxiao City!
In Longquan Temple, he used the "finger sword" to kill the green-robed old monster, and forced back the "Weinan Dragon" Yuechi in less than ten moves!Dare to defeat the vigor of Sanqin son Liancheng!
Faced with the sudden attack of human wolves on Mount Hua, step forward to turn the tide, defeat the werewolves and save the disciples of Huashan from danger!

In the northwest, one man and one rider borrowed thunder to wipe out [-] armored cavalry!Dare to compete with General Lian!
In Jingyang City, Liu Changfeng, the perverted young master of the Demon Sect, was found out, and he completely forged a death feud with the Demon Sect!
This man is so fearless!
He doesn't look down on the flamboyant fourth master of the martial arts world, and he dares to snatch a tiger's beard from the fearsome demon sect!

This person is clearly in the rivers and lakes, but he still has an official position, and he is also a high-ranking deputy commander-in-chief of the Imperial City Division!

A true god!

Now the Baidao martial arts in Gwangju are vying to be the bodyguard for Qiu Jiayun Yinche!Regardless of remuneration, board and lodging will be taken care of by yourself!

They have only one purpose, to see Feng Shaoxia's demeanor!
Feng Jiuxiao originally wanted to participate in the local money and food distribution ceremony in Guangzhou City, but when he heard that so many people wanted to see him, he was so scared that he hid and dared not see anyone!

He believes that doing things can be high-key, but being a person must be low-key!

So he will not participate in the matter of showing his face.

Because of the opening of warehouses to release grain and the distribution of silver taels, Young Master Qiu's image in Gwangju was instantly radiant!His status in the rivers and lakes has risen, and he is almost equal to Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Qiu!Because this operation was not only operated by the Qiu family alone, the government was also involved, and people from the Baidao martial arts were also involved. Almost all the prominent figures in the entire Gwangju rivers and lakes came out to support them!
Even Mr. Qiao, who had always been a naysayer, actually said good things for Young Master Qiu!
Feng Jiuxiao sat on the second floor of a restaurant and watched the long queue for money. Most of the people were ragged, sallow and thin, and they didn't look like fake poor people.But there were a few people in the middle, Feng Jiuxiao looked abnormal.Although the clothes are worn out, they are not dirty, and although they deliberately imitate others' weakness when walking, they can still be seen to be full of confidence after practicing kung fu!
Since ancient times, people who are poor in culture and rich in martial arts, rich people learn Kung Fu.

How many people dare to pretend to claim money?Feng Jiuxiao is not in a hurry, just wait and see what happens!

At the end of the line, Qiu Shaozheng was standing behind several servants of the banker, his eyes wandering around the whole crowd.

Crowds of people.

Of the 30 people in Gwangju City, [-] to [-] people have come out to collect money!
Young Master Qiu is not afraid of crowds!
Feng Jiuxiao said that sending money is only a stopgap measure, so that everyone can survive first. There are two aspects to getting them out of poverty. First, rich and powerful families like the Qiu family set an example and reduce the oppression of ordinary people. To love money, to get it in a proper way, to steal by means of tricks is a joke!Second, we must also encourage those poor people to be self-reliant, not to sit and wait for death, but to create more ways to survive. Feng Jiuxiao especially reminded Qiu Yingwu that you should not only see how capable your hands are, but also how capable your hands are. A lot of wealth in the world is created by these bottom guys, treat them well and they will exert power beyond your imagination, and your wealth will only grow faster forever!

Qiu Shao didn't expect Feng Jiuxiao to be so good at business.He originally thought that Feng Jiuxiao couldn't do without him in the affairs of Guangzhou. It turned out that he didn't understand at all, and he really just trusted himself!

Later, Young Master Qiu inquired about the news through a friend on the road.It turns out that Qi Changfa, the former mafia boss in Pengcheng, died in the hands of Feng Jiuxiao, and all his businesses were taken over by Feng Jiuxiao, and most of them have been bleached now, only a small part of the business is still in excess, but the transformation is a matter of time.

Drastically shut down its brothels and casinos.At first, others were not optimistic about Feng Jiuxiao's reckless way of shutting down directly!
The brothel was closed, the gambling house was withdrawn, and my brothers and sisters went to drink the northwest wind?Without a source of food and clothing, everyone has to go back to their old jobs, rob houses, and cheat, what can't they do?Is Pengcheng still in chaos?Unexpectedly, Feng Jiuxiao gave some tricks to his brother Wei Wuya, the current boss of Pengcheng. The rivers and lakes in Pengcheng did not stir up any waves, but became more and more calm!

The way to stabilize the situation is very simple, that is, let everyone have something to do and food to eat.

Who wants to make trouble after eating and drinking enough!

Wei Wuya, also known as Dahuoyazi, first opened many silk and satin shops, and turned most of the brothel women into yarn weavers. Together with other skilled female workers, they first studied and then worked, engaged in silk processing.Originally, it was to support people, not to make money from it.

But later Feng Jiuxiao reminded Wei Wuya that if he did it, he would make a name for himself.Wei Wuya then spent a lot of money to hire world-renowned silk weaving masters, collected techniques from past dynasties, and constantly innovated to make his silk and satin factory more and more "presentable"!There are more and more types of silk fabrics.Among them, Hualuo and Qiling are the most. Because of Wei Wuya's daring to think and act, he gradually earned the title of "Peng Dun"!

There are various varieties of Peng satin. The rib weave structure includes two-warp, three-warp, and four-warp sura, and various flower patterns such as plain weave, embossed weave, twill weave, and variable twill weave. There are also thickness and weft patterns. Interval falling flowers and flowing water jacquard, etc.

The patterns of Qiling are mainly decorated with peonies, peonies, roses, hibiscus, and chrysanthemums.

The best-selling is the pine, bamboo and plum satin!

In the later period, printing and dyeing methods were added, which made Pengzhou silk fabrics shine!It is exported to the north and south of the country, especially many silk products have become tributes!Nowadays, the printing and dyeing of Pengzhou silk weaving industry has launched a variety of printing techniques that combine mud gold, gold tracing, printing gold, gold pasting, and color application.There are all kinds of products, everything that one expects to find, and the supply exceeds the demand!
Pengzhou's cotton fabrics even monopolized the supply north of the Yangtze River, and some people even smuggled them to Khitan, making a fortune from it!
Pengzhou cotton cloth is known as "clothes and quilts in the world"!
The silk weaving industry in Pengzhou is developing exceptionally, and the demand for female workers is gradually increasing. Because of the high wages and good treatment, some women from other places actually want to work in Pengcheng.

Wei Wuya once said such a sentence: Whether it is women in Pengcheng or women outside Pengcheng, the door of the Wei family is always open to them!

The positive image of Wei's industry suddenly covered up or even suppressed his original underworld color!Since then, Wei's property has accepted countless women from other places, especially it has become a safe haven for those weak women who have nowhere to go!
Just because of the point of saving the weak woman, Pengcheng's black and white martial artists admired Wei Wuya, Pengcheng's first brother's position was as secure as Mount Tai, and no one dared to challenge him again!
In the eyes of the prostitutes in Pengcheng, Wei Wuya is simply a bodhisattva who saves the suffering!

Of course, he can't just shut down the brothels opened by other people, but he will negotiate with those bosses and redeem those who want to get out of the sea of ​​suffering on a fair and voluntary basis. The price is negotiable.Of course, who would dare not give face if he came forward to talk as the first brother of the underworld?As long as they find a way out, they will naturally close the brothel, some old bustards have no second way to go, Wei Wuya doesn't force them, but just tells the old bustards to treat their girls well.These girls who were lucky were ransomed, and those who were unlucky were caught by the procuress, but they also had less sticks to serve their flesh and blood.Because Wei Wuya said, if anyone hears of beating a woman, he will be chopped off!
After properly solving the problem of the brothel, the problem of the casino is solved.For the casino, Wei Wuya has no patience and gentleness at all!
Simple and brutal.

Not negotiable.

There are only two casinos allowed in Pengcheng, one in the east and one in the west.Of course, the board of the casino can only be named Wei!
He publicly declared that whoever dares to open more casinos is going against him!There is one he kills the other!
Who dares to fight against the first brother of the Pengcheng underworld?They have the backing of the Imperial City Secretary behind them!And Mr. Qi Er gave the platform!If you don't have absolute strength, just listen to it honestly!
Wei Wuya established several rules for the casino:

[-]. No usury is allowed in the venue!Whoever puts it will have his finger chopped off!The purpose is to reduce the tragedy of family ruin and death due to high debts.In fact, the effect is immediate!

[-]. Casino personnel, including all employees under the Wei family, are not allowed to lure or force others to come to the casino to gamble!Offenders will chop their hands!The purpose is to reduce the increase of new gamblers at the root!
Three, cheating is not allowed in the venue!Willing to bet and admit defeat!Offenders will chop their hands!The purpose is to ensure fairness and justice!Less strife, less bloodshed!

[-]. Women and teenagers are not allowed to be put in the casino, whoever puts in will have their fingers chopped off!There are many women who have sunk into the sea of ​​misery because of gambling!Young people, maybe whoever is the pillar of the country, you can't harm children!

[-]. It is not allowed to gamble with life or death in the casino, and the gambling money must be set with an upper limit!Establish a hierarchy and a quota system.There are ten liang halls, hundred liang halls, thousand liang halls and ten thousand liang halls respectively.Shiliang hall means that each game should not exceed ten taels, and Wanliang hall should not exceed ten thousand taels per game!Everyone does what they can, enough is enough!

Since then, Pengcheng's gambling industry has gradually become an entertainment place for ordinary people to gamble and enjoy themselves.There are less scenes of spending a lot of money and great passion, less bloody tragedies of chopping hands and feet, and less stories of wives and children breaking up and families being destroyed!But Wei's Gambling House has become one of the three most popular "sacred places to play" in Pengcheng!The other two places are Dalong Lake where tens of thousands of people fish, and Xishan Temple where tens of thousands of people watch begonias!Of the three holy places, only Wei's Casino remains popular all year round!
The most amazing thing is that Wei Wuya actually set up a huge merit box in the middle of the casino hall, woven with wire, some say it looks like a fish basket, some say it looks like a rabbit cage, in short, it is clear at a glance how much money is put in it.

At first, others laughed at Wei Wuya for being mentally ill, who would donate money in the casino?If you win money, you want to take advantage of the victory, and if you lose money, you want to take revenge. How can there be any reason to donate?

But Wei Wuya actually invited the abbot of Xishan Temple in Pengcheng to consecrate the merit box, claiming that donating more money means accumulating more merit and more blessings.

As a result, rich people in Pengcheng actually donated money!Whoever wins, donates!Donate [-] instead of winning [-]!This pie is what I want!

The merit box is full every day!
Wei Wuya's donated silver is enough to feed hundreds of beggars for half a year every day!
The beggars in Pengcheng are the happiest!

When the time comes every day, go to the designated restaurants for dinner!The only requirement for them is to maintain good hygiene on site and not cause trouble to the restaurant owner!

The owners of several restaurants regularly check with Mr. Wei's accountant every month!The beggar is happy, there is food to eat every day, and the owner of the restaurant is also happy, the popularity of the restaurant is bursting every day!

But later, Boss Wei told the beggars in Pengcheng that if you have hands and feet, you can't just beg for food forever.Wei Wuya told everyone that he was also born as a beggar. Being a beggar is not shameful, and he does not steal or rob, but being a beggar for a lifetime is really useless.After seeing each other for several years, in the snowy streets, facing the biting cold wind, walking staggeringly, knocking on whose door will it be opened?

Eat and wait to die, sooner or later you will starve to death!
Those who are physically disabled can go to the porcelain kiln to do some work of pulling porcelain billets within their ability, and those who are healthy can go to the wharf to do coolies, go to the escort to escort cars, work as a waiter in a restaurant, and even go to Wei's caravan and others to sell private goods!
It is that people who like leisure, hate work, eat and do nothing are not allowed to wander on the streets of Pengcheng!
So there are fewer and fewer beggars in Pengcheng, just like brothel women.They were successively incorporated into Boss Wei's porcelain kiln and other industries.

The current law and order in Pengcheng is that they don't pick up things on the road, and they don't close their doors at night.The prefect of Pengcheng would go to Wei's house every now and then to have a drink with Mr. Wei.The previous prefect was implicated by Qi Changfa and imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The current prefect did not dare to take over this position.Now he is having fun.Promotion is just around the corner!
No one would have thought that Pengcheng would have today.

Everyone is thinking, when brothels and casinos are constantly being closed, how can those brothers on the road who have no source of living money be slaughtered honestly, and will they let it go?But in fact, no one thought that Boss Wei would arrange these people properly!

Although brothels and gambling houses have decreased, other businesses have continued to expand!
Except for the textile and porcelain industries, everyone in Pengcheng knew that Boss Wei was smuggling sea salt, tea, copper ore and other private goods!
But no one talked about it.The big and small shops that the Wei family opened in Pengcheng sell things at reasonable prices and high quality. The common people hope that Boss Wei will live a long life and have a prosperous business.

In the eyes of ordinary people in Pengzhou, the evaluation is just four words, there is a way to steal!

Everyone knew that he was engaged in underworld business, but the people of Pengcheng encouraged their children to join Boss Wei. This is definitely a miracle.

There is a popular saying in Pengcheng:

Be a man and learn from Boss Wei!

When you marry someone, you should marry Wei Wuya!
Boss Wei is simply the super idol of Pengcheng people!

So when Young Master Qiu heard that Boss Wei was actually Feng Jiuxiao's brother, his heart was full of ups and downs!A young man managed Pengcheng like this, which shows that he himself is powerful, and the people behind him are even more powerful!The people behind him are now also the people behind him!

Pengcheng provided him with an excellent model!

Pengcheng underworld brother can clean up, so can the Qiu family in Gwangju!

The scale of silk weaving in Gwangju is even larger than that of Pengcheng. Gwangju even has advantages that Pengcheng does not have. Gwangju has porcelain mines!
Looking at the simple faces of the people queuing up to receive the money, their eyes full of anticipation, and the excitement after receiving the money, Qiu Yingwu was infected by their truthfulness.

At that moment, he felt that his eyes were a little moist.

He suddenly thought of the four words Feng Jiuxiao said, chivalrous!
