The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Midwinter took off.

The fact that he worshiped the eunuch as his adoptive father spread quickly, and it was he himself who secretly contributed to the spread of the news.

Many people in Jianghu despised him, but they couldn't hold back the current Cao Gang, which had already become the most powerful gang.

Eunuch Li himself has the power to supervise the Champa Navy. Although he cannot directly intervene, his influence is still great.

Of course Jin Kaishan will not offend Li Youwei for some trivial matters.

Besides, Long Dongqiang's younger brother Long Chunsheng came over and directly gave the account, and finally said that Cao Gang's revenue could be turned over to the navy.

In the end, Jin Kaishan only charged [-]% of the charge. In fact, the original idea was to charge [-]% of all gangs near Bin Tonglong.

Naturally, it is impossible for the navy to check the accounts of each gang, which is an approximation.

Charged according to a fixed amount.

For example, the monthly net income of Caobang is around [-] guan, and [-]% is considered as [-] guan.

In the future, we will refer to this number, and the Cao Gang will pay [-] guan treasures worth of money every month. If there is no money, other things can be offset.

This is not fixed all the time, it changes every quarter.

After all, gang fights are fierce, and today's small gangs may be tomorrow's big gangs, and vice versa.

"Brother, why do we have to pay the bill for three months at once? Wouldn't it be good to keep some money?" Long Chunsheng said a little puzzled.

Although the Caobang has developed a lot, in fact, the monthly surplus is not too much.

On the books, there are tens of thousands of strings, but many of them are the wages of the gangsters.

The gang also need to live. Most of them are the bottom-level people in Champa. They live in poverty, and it is a problem to have enough food.

The gang's biggest income still comes from the protection fees for the shops on the site.

The Cao Gang controls the wharf here, and those who move goods on the wharf have to hand in some money.

The Cao Gang itself also needs to develop, and there are countless places where money is used. If the gang fights are developed, the gang members will also be given pensions if they die.

But for the people of Champa, this is already a very good thing.

After all, the nobles in Champa are completely fish and meat to the common people, and there is no wages for doing things, and they die when they die, no different from private slaves.

Joining a gang can not only gain asylum, but also earn money to support your family.

This is why the gangs from Daming quickly absorbed a large number of people in Champa, and even fools know how to choose.

The local government in Champa, including the nobles, did not fail to find ways to suppress it.

Except for Indrapra, the capital of the king, and the more developed important cities of Champa, such as Vijaya and Bintonglong.

In other places such as Yueli, Weirui, and Banlong, the local government offices have already been attacked by Daming's gang.

The army was used to barely maintain it.

But the gang has already controlled a large number of people, and it is impossible for the army to stay in the city all the time, so they have no choice but to negotiate peace in the end.

You and I used to be too high to climb, but now I love you and ignore you.

This is the best portrayal of the relationship between low caste and high caste in Champa.

Of the tens of thousands of members of the Cao Gang, there are probably only about a thousand Daming people, and the rest are almost all occupying people.

Bin Thon Long Port is the most prosperous port in Champa. The original Cao Gang only controlled two-thirds of the area in order to become the largest gang.

And Anania's father is the governor of this port.

"Broaden your horizons. Although I don't read much, there are many things that are not in the books. Now is the time to spend money. I have already sent the invitation to the governor, and my visit has been approved."

"If there is no problem with the governor, the entire Bintonglong Port will be controlled by our Cao Gang in the future, whether it is the Green Gang or the Sanhetang. If they still want to sell goods here, they will pay for it."

"For the face of the adoptive father, the navy will never stop us. From then on, the opportunity for my Cao Gang will come."

When Long Dongqiang spoke, his tone was inevitably a little excited.

Long Chunsheng frowned and said, "Brother, that's just an eunuch, there's no one around here, so there's no need to call foster father."

In Long Chunsheng's heart, it was very awkward for the elder brother to accept the eunuch as his adoptive father.

The former commander of Zhenhaiwei was different, and Long Chunsheng also called out willingly.

But this eunuch, he really couldn't call it out.

In any case, he is a dignified scholar, with a great reputation, how can he recognize an eunuch as his father.

The word foster father is not just called casually.

Fu Wei's holy dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and worshiping as a righteous father is like a real father.

Parents and children are orderly, and this is not the future. If you are not filial as an adopted son, you can be reported to the officials and punished, and you will be arrested and imprisoned.

"Xiao Sheng!"

Long Dongqiang's tone was raised, obviously angry.

"I know you are proud of your heart, but brother has worshiped Eunuch Li as a foster father, so you are naturally a foster son."

"If you still want to call me brother, then let go of the gap in your heart."

In fact, the relationship with the adopted son is only personal, and Long Chunsheng doesn't have to be the adopted son.

But Long Dongqiang knew that such eunuchs were most vulnerable in their hearts, and now they shouted verbally that if they really wanted their help, they had to admit it from the heart instead of duplicity.

Li Youwei is the biggest official that Long Dongqiang can come into contact with, and this comes from Taisun Kunning Palace.

As long as Li Youwei truly treats himself as his son, then the future of the Cao Gang must be bright.

And he is strong in the middle of winter, and he will also soar into the sky.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Long Chunsheng said reluctantly, the aggrieved eyes were extremely obvious.

Long Dongqiang couldn't take care of that anymore, and continued: "Go and check recently, is there any good big yard in Dongcheng, if there is, I will buy it."

"If not, buy two adjacent yards to open up, and rebuild the casting according to the style of the capital."

"It's inconvenient for the adoptive father to live in the navy camp now. As adopted sons, we must have filial piety. It is our filial piety to buy a house for the adoptive father."

"Remember, it must be in the East City. It is close to the port. It doesn't matter if you spend more money."

Long Dongqiang has a delicate mind, and has made up his mind to climb up to Li Youwei's relationship and become his biggest backer.

"Okay bro, I'll listen to you."

Long Chunsheng said helplessly.

Although he is reluctant in his heart, he also knows that if he can really get on with Li Gonggong's relationship, he will definitely prosper in the future.

Bin Tong Long, Governor's Mansion.

Different from other cities, Bintonglong is a port city, and the biggest official is the governor, which is equivalent to the city lord.

Bacchus was able to become the governor, naturally he borrowed the light of his daughter Ananya.

Who let her daughter be the concubine of the grandson of Ming Dynasty now?

When Bin Tonglong was at its most chaotic, the Governor's Mansion was peaceful, singing and dancing as usual.

Because no one who is not open-eyed will come to the Governor's Mansion to make trouble.

It's just that the oil and water were hit hard, so Bacchus wrote to his daughter, asking for help.

"My lord, the cold winter of the Cao Gang is here." The servant reported.

Backus hugged two coolly dressed women on the left and right, looked up and said, "Let him wait in the front yard."

After speaking, regardless of the surrounding guards, he walked to the front bath with his arms around the women on both sides.

Long Dongqiang waited quietly in the front yard of the Governor's Mansion, and did not show any impatience for waiting for a long time.

Finally, there was a sound of footsteps, and Bacchus walked over with a group of guards.

"Cao Gang Leng Dongqiang, pay homage to the governor."

Long Dongqiang immediately stood up and saluted respectfully.

Seeing this scene, Bacchus' eyes were flat, and he nodded slightly, which was regarded as the ceremony.

After Bacchus sat down, the servant who had led the way for Long Dongqiang hurried forward and whispered in Bacchus' ear.

This is to report the gift brought by Midwinter Qiang.

After listening, Bacchus eyes lit up, and immediately shouted: "Stupid thing, didn't you see the distinguished guest coming, why don't you hurry up and serve tea, and use the best Daming tea that the governor has."

Bacchus shouted this sentence in Chinese, and made it clear that he was speaking to Long Dongqiang.

Long Dongqiang was not surprised by this, this time he came here, but he brought a meeting gift worth [-] guan coins.

"Do you need the Governor's help for anything? I like to make friends with bold people. If there is any difficulty, just mention it." Bacchus said with a smile.

Long Dongqiang saw that the governor was so straightforward, so he didn't turn around, and said: "Most of the Bintonglong port is under the control of our Cao Gang. I came to meet the governor this time because I want to get the governor's support. It belongs to the territory of my Cao Gang."

Bacchus put away his smile and said, "It's hard for me to help you in this area. Your Cao Gang has already controlled so much, and you have to give other gangs some places to do business. Their business has little to do with you."

"I know that your gang is mainly engaged in transporting goods. I can promise you that even if it is their site, your workers can do things."

Bacchus is not stupid, he doesn't want to see the port unified by some gang, it's not in his interest.

Long Dongqiang didn't care about Bacchus' sloppy eye.

In fact, the Cao Gang has been able to win those sites a long time ago. After all, Bintonglong Port is the foundation of the Cao Gang.

It's just being suppressed by all parties.

"As for the matter of the port, I hope the governor can think about it again. I have already got the support of my adoptive father on this matter, and the navy will also give my adoptive father face and not interfere with this matter." Long Dongqiang said again.

Bacchus is a little confused, he has a general understanding of the news of the Cao Gang, when did the leader of the Cao Gang, Long Dongqiang, have a adoptive father?
The story of forced worship of foster father in mid-winter spread quickly in the rivers and lakes, but due to language differences, many nobles in Champa did not know about it in just two days. Although Bacchus is the governor, he actually indulges in pleasure every day. There is no news channel.

"Who is your adoptive father?" Bacchus asked directly.

Long Dong said with a strong smile: "My adoptive father is now the supervisor of the Navy, Li Youwei and Eunuch Li."

"Eunuch Li is your adoptive father?" Bacchus exclaimed and stood up.

Long Dongqiang nodded affirmatively and said, "Exactly."

Of course Bacchus knew about Li Youwei.

When Li Youwei came, he specially asked someone to send a invitation to entertain Li Youwei.

That was the eunuch in the palace where his daughter Ananya lived.

This made Bacchus take it seriously, and he re-examined the smiling leader of the Cao Gang.

At the same time, Bacchus began to worry about the rights and interests on the port terminal.

At first, he thought that Long Dongqiang was just a fantasy, but now he couldn't help but think about it carefully.

"If you unified the docks on the port, what would you do?" Bacchus asked in a deep voice. Compared with the previous indifference, Bacchus is obviously much more serious now.

Hearing this question, Long Dongqiang was truly relieved.

Because the adoptive father told him before, the biggest difficulty in unifying the port is the governor Bacchus.

His Royal Highness Taisun has explained that this is his father-in-law after all, and the Navy should take care of him.

If Bacchus firmly disagrees, then even the navy cannot force it, and Bacchus' opinion must be fully considered.

There is a time difference here.

Because the current Li Youwei has not formally met with Bacchus, he will not convey the news of Taisun to Bacchus.

If the current Bacchus knew that his daughter Anania had begged the grandson, he would not have such a lack of confidence in the face of Li Youwei, an eunuch from the Ming court.

Long Dongqiang had already prepared his speech.

"After the port terminal is unified, all cargo handling will be taken over by my gang. Naturally, a part of the wages for handling will need to be increased."

"These rising wages are nothing to businessmen from all over the world, and they will not care about it and offend our Cao Gang. After all, there is an old saying in my Ming Dynasty that a strong dragon can't beat a local snake."

"The Cao Gang can dominate the Bintonglong Port, without the help of the foster father, the navy, and the governor. Then, my Cao Gang will contribute [-]% of the total income of the port, and honor the three respectively."

The front is all excuses, and the distribution of benefits in the back is the most critical part.

Bacchus frowned and said, "It's only [-]%, is it a little less?"

Long Dongqiang shook his head and said, "It's quite a lot. It's the income of the entire port. Now my Cao Gang has controlled [-]% of the port's territory. Even if we win the remaining territory, we won't have much income."

"If Your Excellency the Governor disagrees, it will be profitable for our Cao Gang."

Bacchus asked back: "In this case, why do you want to include the remaining [-]% in the Cao Gang? Are you going to make a loss-making business?"

Hearing the words Your Excellency, Long Dongqiang knew that Bacchus was already moved.

Now is just a bargaining stage.

It's just that Long Dongqiang can no longer compromise on this allocation.

Because in addition to the distribution of income, he also needs to honor his adoptive father and give money to the navy.

If you really don't make a profit, why is it so hard.

"The governor doesn't know, but for our gang, the name is very important. If our Cao Gang can dominate Bintong Long Port, it will prove the strength of our Cao Gang to other gangs."

"For the governor, there will be no loss, but he can get [-]% more port revenue. This is really a happy thing for everyone."

"In addition, my Cao Gang, the navy, and the foster father and His Excellency the Governor have become closer. If the Governor has any troubles, my Cao Gang will not give up and will definitely help the Governor. Handled well."

Having said that, Bacchus has no other reason to refuse.

After thinking about it in my heart, I laughed and said, "From now on, your Cao Gang will be my best friend."

Long Dongqiang had a smile on his face, but he was actually relieved.

Finally got it done.

What he didn't say was that after the port was unified, other gangs would be under his control if they wanted to cross the ship.

This means that the Cao Gang will exchange more benefits.

The Cao Gang acted quickly, directly declaring jurisdiction over the remaining territory of the port.

In the future, as long as the goods are unloaded at Bintong Long Port, they must be workers from the Cao Gang.

Even if it is the manpower brought by the merchant ship itself, it will not be allowed.

And the price of transportation has also been directly raised by [-]%.

As Long Dongqiang expected, the handling fee was actually very inconspicuous in front of the sea merchants.

The cost of moving a ship of goods is equivalent to more than a dozen banknotes of the Ming Dynasty.

Manpower, in today's era, is the most worthless place.

No merchant ship would think about finding something unpleasant because of these dozens of banknotes, and conflict with local gangs.

After all, the value of a shipment of goods is at least 10,000+ or ​​even hundreds of thousands of Daming banknotes.

At the same time, the Cao Gang also began to attack other gangs.

Green Gang.

"Damn it, why does the Cao Gang dare to detain our merchant ship?"

Xu Xian asked his hall master angrily.

"Master, the people of the Cao Gang said that there are Kunlun slaves on our merchant ship. This ship is bound for Daming. According to the laws of Daming, it is strictly forbidden to transport Kunlun slaves to Daming. Therefore, they are detaining them according to the rules of the navy. "

The hall master is also a little angry, this is not the first time, every time it is their Qing Gang's boat, the Cao Gang will try their best to find fault.

"Damn it, I want him to take care of my stuff, and he has accepted an eunuch as his adoptive father, so he really considers himself an official, right?"

Xu Xian cursed and cursed, but couldn't come up with any solution.

After cursing, he had no choice but to say: "Bring the Kunlun slave back, and now the Cao Gang will have nothing to say."

"Damn it, if these Kunlun slaves can't be sold to Daming, I will lose a lot of money."

The hall master said helplessly: "I'm afraid it won't work. Now the Kunlun slaves have been forcibly taken away by the people of the Cao Gang. Now they use the fact that there are Kunlun slaves as an excuse to prevent us from going to sea."

When Xu Xian heard this, his angry expression suddenly calmed down.

The previous irritability was just a feign.

To become one of the three major gangs in Champa, Xu Xian couldn't be so simple.

Xu Xian asked with stern eyes: "He Cao Gang, presumably he is not just doing this to my Qing Gang."

The hall master nodded: "But for any gang's boat, the Cao Gang will find some excuses. Even if it's not a big deal, you have to pay hundreds of treasures before you go to sea."

Xu Xian sneered and said: "It seems that he has a really big appetite for the Cao Gang. This is to make all the gangs give him the benefits of the Cao Gang, and to force us to take the initiative to talk to him."

"There are so many gangs, and they are not afraid of being overwhelmed. I want to see how capable he is."

"If I remember correctly, he also has a commander's adoptive father in Zhenhaiwei."

"Send a letter to the clan and explain the situation in Zhancheng in detail. After taking so many benefits, it is time to do something."

Xu family.

It's not a small family, they are well-known in the whole Jiangnan.

Xu Xianneng's founding of the Green Gang was naturally not helpless, or in other words, almost all the big and small gangs in Champa were inextricably linked with Daming Nei.

This is why everyone is afraid of the Daming Navy.

If he is really offended, the families in the country may not be able to benefit from it.

But Xu Xian didn't have a good attitude towards the family either.

In recent years, the family's appetite has become bigger and bigger, and they just ask for nothing in return, and now it's time to start working.
