Chapter 70
In ancient times, the people were ignorant and their knowledge was short, so after learning about the general content of the Shenmu Gang's announcement, most of the people thought that the Shenmu Gang wanted to find another excuse to make money.

It should be noted that although the Shenmu Gang has been based in Jitangguan for more than 20 years, and it is also a white business, but after all, it is a Jianghu gang that frequently fights and kills people, and often has gangs to bully the people, so it does not have a good impression on the people.

A few years ago, Ouyang Hu followed Tian Yunong's suggestion and began to collect protection fees from vendors, which made his reputation among the common people even worse.

Now that the Shenmu Gang says they want to build roads and ports, the people naturally cannot trust and appreciate Dade all at once, they will only speculate about the Shenmu Gang's true intentions from the bad side.

But Yu Si went to many places selling rice candy in his early years. After becoming a gangster, he even worked as a spy for nearly ten years. He has more knowledge than ordinary people, and he thinks differently.

In his opinion, if the Shenmu Gang wants to make money, there is no need to be so troublesome.

The most important thing is that if this notice is posted, if the Shenmu Gang behaves differently in the future, won't that mean a slap in the face?
As someone said before, isn't Ouyang Ye shameless?
It should be noted that those who are in the arena with a notorious reputation like the Xiang family may be disgusting, but they will not be looked down upon; but if they talk and do things at two ends, then the prestige will disappear, which will make people laugh.

Yu Si has known a lot about Ouyang Ye in the past few days, and feels that this young gang leader is definitely not the kind of short-sighted person.

"If you really want to build roads, build ports, and do things for the people, then this leader of the Ouyang Gang has a lot of ambition, and he doesn't know how stronger he is compared to the Xiang family and his son."

With a sigh in his heart, Yu Si withdrew from the crowd, picked up the candy pickers not far away, saw the disciples of the Shenmu Gang with guidance not far away, followed the guidance of the other party, and set up a stall outside the town to sell rice candy.

As for the situation in the town, he believed that there would be some lively people watching and bragging about it soon, and then he would naturally know about it.

···
There are five halls under Shenmu Gangmu, and each hall usually has ordinary people taking turns to stay in the compound of Shenmu to practice martial arts and kung fu.

Ouyang Ye gathered these helpers, as well as the helpers from Litang, Gamingtang, Weitang, and Xingtang on rotation, and there were more than 150 people in total.

On the day when the announcement was made, he took these gang members to the town to remove garbage and conduct a general cleaning.

Of course, those in power these days need to be dignified, so he is only a commander and does not really participate in the work.

Because Ouyang Ye had already promised a reward, even though most of the gang members didn't understand why they had to do this cleaning, they were still doing it in full swing.

Early in the morning, the Shenmu gang blocked several entrances and exits of the town, and asked several gangs to clean the streets with drums and gongs.The common people didn't want to provoke these quack men, so they all closed the door, but it was inevitable that some people were curious to peep outside through the cracks in the door or the top of the wall.

For example, in the Huang family, the father and son were both stepping on the ladder and leaning against the wall.

"What did you come up to see? Go back and study for me!" Seeing his son emerging from the side, Master Huang couldn't help turning his head and frowning and scolded.

However, the young master of the Huang family was not afraid of his father, and immediately retorted: "Why can't you see me if you can? I must."

Young Master Huang is the only son, and Master Huang is a bit pampered, so when he saw that scolding didn't work, he patiently explained: "I want to see if they will pry open my shop, those silks, if you lose one, you will lose at least a few pieces." Two silver coins, at that time, my heart will die."

Young Master Huang said with a hearty laugh: "Even if they did pry open the door and take the silk, would you still dare to stop it?"

Master Huang couldn't help blushing when he heard his son's words, and he choked for a while before forcing himself to say: "I also talked about business with that Chen Yan and drank tea. If these people from the Shenmu gang dare to touch my shop, I'm sure I will talk to Old Chen Yan about it!"

"Hush!" Young Master Huang suddenly made a silent gesture, winked and said: "Father, the members of the Shenmu Gang are here, be careful not to be heard by them!"

Master Huang trembled in fright and almost fell off the ladder.

When he glanced around nervously, he saw someone from the Shenmu gang showing his head far away. It was far away from here, and it was impossible to hear him talking. Seeing the happy smile on his son's face, he immediately understood that he was being played by his son again. up.

Embarrassed, Mr. Huang hardened his heart again, and scolded: "You are not a filial son, why don't you get out? If you don't pass the exam next year as a scholar, I will... I won't give you pocket money!"

Hearing that Master Huang threatened with pocket money, Young Master Huang restrained himself a bit, but still refused to go on.

He said sternly, "Father, don't force me to take the talent test, okay? Since I passed the boy student test at the age of 13, I have failed three tests in eight years. What does that mean? It means that I don't have that fate!"

"Besides, if you pass the examination as a scholar, you still have to pass the hurdle of juren. Jiang Bai from Wuliu Village knows, right? At the age of 15, he was the head of the Shizhou Prefecture Examination. Spread it to the whole Shizhou government."

"How is he now? After spending 20 years in the provincial examination, he ended up inexplicably banned from taking the imperial examination for life! According to my son, the road to the imperial examination is simply impossible for those of us in places where the style of writing is not flourishing." !"

Mr. Huang's eloquence is not as good as his son's. What's more, he knows very little about what his son said in the examination room, so he could only stare and ask: "Then what do you want to do? Wait for me to die so that I can inherit the family property and be a little boy." Landlords, small merchants?!"

As if he couldn't hear what his old father was obviously scolding him, Young Master Huang said confidently, "Father, don't worry, your son is not the kind of person who is just waiting to die. I don't want to be a scholar, but I don't want to inherit your family either." Industry."

"Then what do you want to do?!"

"My son thinks..." Young Master Huang stopped talking here, but a team of Shenmu Gang came to his shop.

Master Huang also noticed this scene, and immediately shifted his attention, staring nervously at the men holding brooms, hoes, shovels, rakes and other tools.

"The surrounding area of ​​Huang's silk and satin village is quite clean." Someone laughed.

Another member of the gang followed with a smile and said, "Huang Laocai is famous for his meticulousness in Jitangguan. How could people dirty the street in front of his shop and affect business?"

Then a man who was obviously the team leader raised his voice: "Okay, don't talk about it, even if there is no garbage, the ground must be leveled, the dust should be swept away, and piles and ropes should be erected according to the gang leader's regulations. People are working. There is a lot of work, so let’s do it quickly.”

After speaking, take the lead in doing it.

The word "garbage" came out of Ouyang Ye's mouth today, and the members of the gang already understood what it meant, so as soon as the leader finished speaking, they all got down to work.

Each of their teams has a task area. The leader said that the rewards will be added for fast and good work; if the work is delayed and unsatisfactory, the rewards will be deducted.

So, everyone worked very hard.

This group of people didn't know that on the wall of Huang's house not far away, Master Huang and Young Master Huang couldn't help but stare in surprise after hearing their words and seeing their seriousness and hard work when they were working.
