Gu Qi, she just wants to farm

Chapter 260 Layout (1)

Those who were bought as "rice meat" were not just converted into slaves and sold to tooth shops as slaves, more of them were directly sent to various mines as miners. Most of them are private black mine slaves.

These private mines are invisible, and it is difficult to call suitable miners through formal channels, so it is necessary to buy and sell these "rice meat" through pedestrians.

Usually, a living person will disappear within two or three months after being pulled in. Because the change of nationality is done through non-official means, the higher-ups will not attract the attention of the person who is gone.

Usually this kind of "rice meat" is not easy to find, and the price is high. If it is not real, it will be hard to survive. No one will sell themselves as "rice meat".

Even those who sell their sons and daughters to pay off their debts will only go to those toothmaids.What's more, these private mines don't like to accept women, children and children, and prefer to harvest adult men.

Obviously, at this time, Yuzhou Fubei has become the best place for 'rice meat' business.And how many people here are really unable to survive and willingly buy themselves, or are forced to become "rice meat", no one cares anymore.

When Shunzi and the others brought back the news they had inquired about today, Gu Qi was boxing in the courtyard, and after a few sets of punches, he seemed to have sorted out his thoughts a lot.

It's not that Gu Qi has never dealt with members of the Pedestrian Gang.On the contrary, no matter in the early stage of fleeing from famine or after arriving in Jiangling County, there have been several encounters with pedestrian gangs.

Whether it is bartering or inquiring about news, the Pedestrian Gang is an expert in this field.

It can be said that the Pedestrian Gang's staff is almost all over the Dakang Dynasty, and there are still traces of the Pedestrian Gang outside Dakang, but even with such a powerful sphere of influence, the Pedestrian Gang's people are still not as good as the Horse Gang and the Cao Gang. Both of them are jealous and fearful.

Because the power of the Pedestrian Gang is too scattered.

From high-ranking officials to dignitaries, down to the three schools and nine streams, all walks of life are the sphere of influence of the Walker Gang. This is their advantage and also their disadvantage.

Numerous classes form a variety of churches and incense associations, and most of them work independently, cooperating with each other and fearing each other.

For example, at this time, it is the people of Hongwentang who control the grain gate of Lushan County.

However, the people from Hongwentang said before that the "rice meat" business in the north of Yuzhou was the people from Liehutang.

Hongwentang and Liehutang, these two names can be seen from the mouth of one person.

In fact, many of them come from the mouth of one person.

The entire Pedestrian Gang has more than 50 halls and more than [-] incense clubs in Dakang, and most of these halls and incense clubs have their own management in terms of name, purpose, business methods and rules. .

While relying on the huge power network of the Pedestrian Gang, these churches and incense clubs also look down on each other while gaining enough benefits and status for themselves.

Just like Shunzi's disdainful tone from those Hongwentang stall owners on Liuxing Street today, they also know that Hongwentang's people look down on Tiger Hunting, which specializes in private businesses such as 'rice meat' and 'human pillars'.

The same people in Hunting Tiger Hall also look down on Hongwentang's hypocritical appearance that he is obviously doing gangster/road activities but still pretends to use the name of the scholars at the entrance of the hall.

And Hongwentang and Liehutang are just two halls of the Pedestrian Gang in the Central Plains.There will be so many other people who are doing all kinds of businesses, and naturally there will be many conflicts.

This is why the power network of the Pedestrian Gang is enough to make black and white afraid, but at the same time not so afraid.

Because these forces are indeed amazing when combined, but in fact, although they will cooperate with each other, they simply cannot combine and have no chance to combine.

This model, in modern business, is a bit like the franchise store model, in the name of the same brand, in fact, each has its own site and does its own thing.

Of course, the franchise stores do the same kind of business most of the time, but Xingjiaobang covers almost all the businesses that can be done in the world.
-
This also means that if the Sihai Escort wants to take root in Lushan County, it may not necessarily be against the entire pedestrian gang, or it may only be against the Hongwentang family.

It's just that how powerful this Hongwentang is, how many companies behind it have a good enough relationship with it, and other halls that can communicate with each other can't be figured out in a short time.

In this case, it is obviously unnecessary to go head-to-head with Hongwentang.

Maybe sometimes you can break through all methods with one force, but sometimes the bravery of a man cannot play a decisive role.
-
Here, when Gu Qi and the others were planning how to avoid Hongwentang's affairs as much as possible, the study in the backyard of the Lushan County Mansion was also brightly lit.

Liu Shouzheng, who was nearly forty years old, pushed aside the official documents that he had processed today, closed his eyes, and gently pressed his sore forehead a few times.

Long Jiu opened his eyes, took the tea from the attendant next to him, took a few sips to moisten his mouth, and asked:
"I heard that there was news from the city guard this morning that there are foreigners coming to the city?"

"Yes. There are 11 people in total. They are all young and they came from Yunzhou Mansion." The attendant said.

"Find out, what are you here for?" Liu Shouzheng asked.

"It is said that they are here to find relatives. The people who came are the young master and his guards of Qishi Commercial Firm in Sanchuan County, Yunzhou Prefecture."

"Looking for relatives?" Liu Shouzheng smiled: "This is a lie."

The attendant was surprised: "Why did the master say that?"

"The people in Lushan County were evacuated half a year ago, so the people who are still in the county are mostly people who have left Yuzhou Prefecture and have nowhere to go to find relatives.

The young master of the Qi family in Yunzhou prefecture didn't come to look for relatives early or late, why did he choose this time to look for relatives? "

"Maybe you know the situation?"

Liu Shouzheng chuckled lightly and shook his head: "Yuzhou Prefecture has been in drought for three years. If you were interested, you would have known what you should have known. Why did you wait until the end of the continuous heavy rain and drought in Yuzhou Prefecture to find this relative?

If this is the case, I am afraid that this person is not looking for relatives, but seems to be looking for revenge. "

"Then according to the master, what are these people here for?"

"They are merchants, and the left and right are just here to do business."

"Business? Given the current situation in our Lushan County, what can we do here?" The attendant was surprised.

Liu Shouzheng took another sip of his tea, with a half-smile: "You don't understand, it's just such a time when it's convenient to do business."

The attendant seemed to understand, but asked: "Then, do you want to bring them to meet the adults?"

"No, it's not urgent."

Liu Shouzhuo shook his head, and after a while, he ordered: "In the past few days, let people pay attention to the movements of the Pedestrian Foot Gang, and don't let them go too far."

After finishing speaking, Liu Shouzheng looked out the window: "It's raining really hard today."

"Yes, if the situation continues to improve in the future. Master, we will be in the early stages."

"It's not that we're going to make it through, it's that the people in Lushan County are going to make it through, and it's the people in Yuzhou Mansion that are going to make it through."
