Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 192 The Assassination Plan of Layers of Subcontractors
Dong Zhong wanted to assassinate King Jianning, but the current Donghou Mansion is no longer the Donghou Mansion of the Gaochang Kingdom.

Although the Dong family is number one in Gaochang, they are not considered number one in the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, when Dong Zhong was young, he also traveled and studied in Xijing, but he was regarded as a bumpkin by the rich and powerful in Xijing. left Xijing.

The Dong family has enjoyed wealth and honor for several generations under the Tang system. Although Dong Zhong's level of power struggle is not bad, assassination is a complete layman.

Unable to do it by himself, Dong Zhong called the housekeeper Dong Yuan.

Director Dong messed up the hunting conference in Liulinli last time, and now the Liulin in Liulinli has also been taken away by the government. After returning to the Dong family, Director Dong was despised, and he was holding his breath to turn over.

"Director, I have an important matter to discuss with you, do you dare to do it?"

Looking at Dong Zhong's serious face, Director Dong was both excited and conflicted.

Excited about such an important matter, Lord Hou still leaves it to himself, which shows that he still has weight in Master Hou's heart!

But the paradox is that even Dong Zhong is so serious, then this matter must be difficult to handle, if he messes up again, then he will completely lose his trust.

If they were assigned to manage the swill, the Dong Yuan family would no longer be able to hold their heads up in Dong Hou's mansion.

Director Dong immediately bowed and said, "Master Hou, Director Dong is willing to die for the Dong family!"

Dong Zhong couldn't help being gratified to see Dong Yuan being so upbeat.

The reason why so many housekeepers choose Dong Yuan is because he has been helping the Dong family with their business for a long time, and he knows a lot of people of all levels.

So Dong Zhong immediately thought of Director Dong and asked him to undertake the assassination of King Jianning.

However, Dong Zhong is not an idiot. The assassination of King Jianning must be kept secret. If the matter is revealed, it will be the result of ransacking the family.

Dong Zhong said solemnly: "Mr. Dong, you have served our Dong Hou Mansion for generations. How many generations have you been?"

"Master Hou, since my grandfather, he has been a servant of Dong Hou's mansion, and it has been three generations now!"

Dong nodded emphatically. Members of Dong are the so-called sons of the family. They have been servants of Dong Hou's mansion for generations, and they are the most trustworthy servants.

Only then did Dong Zhong say: "Leave this matter to you. If you do it well, I will promise you prosperity and wealth!"

Director Dong immediately became excited, and Dong Zhong continued: "Isn't your youngest son very smart? I can allow your family to get rid of slavery, let your youngest son study and study, and reward you with a manor outside the city." Home, but this matter has the risk of decapitation, do you want to do it or not?"

Dong Zhong stared at Director Dong, as long as he hesitated, Dong Zhong would not say the following words.

Director Dong is also struggling in his heart, seeking wealth and wealth. It is obvious that what Dong Zhong explained is very risky, but this temptation still makes Director Dong determined to give it a go.

He said firmly: "Your Majesty, just give orders! Director Dong is willing to go through fire and water for the Dong family!"

Hearing what Director Dong said, Dong Zhong said with satisfaction: "The young master just sent a letter, saying that he has obtained a position as secretary in the Prince's Mansion."

"Master Hou is overjoyed!"

Although Dong Yuan doesn't know what the position of the secretary is, he knows that he can get a position in the prince's mansion. Then when the prince ascends the throne, the Dong family will go further in the future!

But Dong Zhong said: "The secretary in charge is just a low-level civil servant in the Prince's Mansion. If my son wants to go further, he needs to make great contributions."

Director Dong naturally didn't understand the affairs of these big men, so he quietly waited for Dong Zhong to come.

Seeing Director Dong's attitude, Dong Zhong was still very satisfied and said: "Now that King Jianning is sitting in Longyou, the prince feels uneasy. A few days ago, the governor's office said that King Jianning was about to arrive in Gaochang City. I am going to fight for my son." A fortune."

Although Director Dong doesn't understand political struggles, he already understands what he heard.

He stammered and said: "Master Hou, but I want to stab..."

Dong Zhong immediately interrupted Dong Yuan and said, "Shut up! How can you say such treasonous words!?"

Director Dong immediately covered his mouth and stopped talking.

Only then did Dong Zhong say: "You go to the warehouse at the back to get a hundred gold, take these gold pancakes, and find a loyal servant at home to make a good plan."

Director Dong's breath became short of breath, one hundred gold funds!That's a lot of money!
It seems that in order to assassinate the king of Jianning, Dong Hou also spent a lot of money. This is a wealth that Dong Zhong can't save in his life!

Dong Zhong continued to explain, and opened a warehouse for Dong Yuan to withdraw gold cakes. After Dong Yuan received a hundred gold, he returned to his house.

Senior servants like Dong Yuan also have their own houses next to Dong Hou's mansion.

Back home, Director Dong sat on the bed and began to think.

According to Dong Zhong's intention, he asked Dong Yuan to select strong servants at home and train them to assassinate King Jianning.

But it's okay to let Dong Yuan bully and dominate the market, but it's hard to let him assassinate.

At that time, he was also fascinated by the glory and wealth, so he agreed to Dong Hou.

But now that the gold cake has been received, Director Dong can only bite the bullet and go on.

How can I assassinate King Jianning?

Director Dong doesn't understand assassination at all.

However, he soon thought of a person. Among the three teachers and nine schools that Dong Yuan made friends with, there was a little leader of Shu Saburo of the Lifu Guild.

When Dong Yuan was drinking with Shu Saburo, he once heard him brag that he had killed someone in the Lifu Guild.

Since you have killed someone, you can do the assassination, right?

Thinking of this, Director Dong decided to look for Shu Saburo to see if he had any connections.

Fulefang, where Shu Sanlang lived, was not far from Lanzhifang, where Dong Hou's mansion was located. Director Dong found Shu Sanlang the next day, and hosted Shu Sanlang in a restaurant.

Shu Sanlang is living a good life now, following behind Yang Bin, he is also the second head of the sub-helm, and his younger brother takes care of him when he goes in and out.

More importantly, Yang Bin, the leader of the sub-rudder, is not only good at fighting, but also good at managing gangs.

After Yang Bin became the sub-ruler of Fulefang, he immediately changed the original means of making money in the Lifu Guild.

The previous method of saving money in the Lifu Guild was relatively primitive, which was to bully the people and force them to join the guild, and then forced them to pay their hard-earned money by offering offerings.

But how much money a porter can earn in a day, even if they collect some protection fees from the store, it is just the normal expenses of maintaining the gang, and it is impossible to make money to develop.

Therefore, although the Lifu Guild is the largest guild in Gaochang City, there are still dozens of guilds, large and small, in Gaochang City. The largest guild, the Lifu Guild, only occupies two markets and three workshops.

But Yang Bin is obviously different from other gangsters. After he became the rudder owner of Fulefang, he immediately made in-depth analysis and discovered the pain points of the industry. He met customer needs from a new perspective, created a new track in Fulefang, and completed the gangster business The new upgrade of the mode.

In human terms, Yang Bin opened a casino in Fulefang.

Fulefang is a workshop near the east gate. There are a lot of fish and dragons in this workshop, and most of them are people who do business in the city.

After Yang Bin became the helmsman of Fulefang, he changed the previous inefficient and unprofitable profit model of collecting protection fees, and opened several underground casinos in Fulefang.

Gambling tools already existed in the Tang Dynasty. For example, Ye Zixi was very popular in Xijing. Many women and children in the families of high-ranking officials and nobles liked this kind of card game.

And the common people also throw dice to gamble in restaurants and teahouses. The ancient occupation of gambler was born along with human society, and its vitality is very tenacious.

However, because the civil economy was not developed enough in the past, there were not many gambling tricks in the Tang Dynasty, and it was not until the Song Dynasty that there was a relatively large development.

Yang Bin soon launched two kinds of gambling tools, mahjong and Pai Gow, in his underground gambling workshop.

As soon as it was launched, it was immediately popular in Fulefang.

The rules of Mahjong and Pai Gow are so simple that even illiterate businessmen can learn them quickly.

But mahjong is very difficult, and you need to study hard if you want to win money.

This kind of game with certain skill and certain luck quickly became popular in the whole Fulefang.

Relying on the provision of card playing venues and casino commissions, Yang Bin's Fule Fang sub-helm quickly made a lot of money.

But Yang Bin is an inner guard after all, and he didn't come to play the underworld simulator, so the scale of the casino is not large, and he only makes money by raking in water.

But even so, Fulefang quickly recruited a lot of social idlers, and now there are more than 30 thugs under Yang Bin's command.

These thugs will be sent by Yang Bin to watch the gambling house, and those strong and hideous boys will be led by Yang Bin to patrol the streets every day.

There are many businessmen in Fulefang, and there are many businessmen, there are disputes. These days, there is no tradition of going to court to go to court. This kind of disputes happens every day, and fighting in Fulefang is not uncommon.

When Yang Bin was making money in the casino, he found himself a job as a mediator.

He took his younger brother to patrol the streets, and would rush over when someone was arguing, and commanded his younger brother to "calm down" both sides.

Those strong younger brothers will naturally calm down both parties quickly, and then Yang Bin will listen to the arguments of both parties and give a simple arbitration.

This result may not necessarily satisfy both parties, but it is indeed a solution to the dispute.

And with Yang Bin present, the compensation and apology will be completed on the spot, which also saves the trouble of debt collection.

So gradually Yang Bin didn't have to take the initiative to go to the streets, and naturally some people came to his sub-helm when they encountered disputes.

Yang Bin simply opened the door to the sub-rudder, and welcomes others to come and arbitrate any disputes at any time.

Yang Bin acts fairly and takes good care of the local residents of Fulefang. Now he, the helmsman, has become the most respected person in Fulefang.

Shu Saburo also changed from a mouse that everyone shouted to a "Mice Lord" affectionately shouted by the people of Fulefang.

Director Dong found Shu Saburo, and he took out twenty gold pieces and piled them on the table.

So much gold made Shu Saburo's eyes straight.

I only heard Director Dong say: "Sanlang, do you have a job?"
