Chapter 425 Jiang Family’s New Rules
After dinner, Jiang Lianheng returned to the bedroom on the second floor and sat by the window drinking tea and digesting food.

Hu Xiaoyan was packing her daughter's old clothes on the bed. Jiang Ya grew up so fast that the clothes she just made half a year ago were already too small before she even wore them.

The flash of swords and shadows is just a moment. In the end, everything in the world must return to daily necessities, food, clothing, housing and transportation.

There is a sense of life in the house, which makes people feel at ease.

"What do you keep watching me do?" Hu Xiaoyan asked without looking back.

Jiang Lianheng scratched his head, pondered for a long time, and asked tentatively: "Daughter-in-law, what do you think of Shopkeeper Xue?"

Hu Xiaoyan held up a small blue dress, looked up and down at the length, and murmured to herself: "It looks good, so beautiful!"

trap! Definitely a trap!

Jiang Lianheng was not willing to fall into the trap of a husband and wife fight, so he continued on and said against his will: "These clothes are good, I will spend money to make two more for my daughter tomorrow!"

Hu Xiaoyan turned around, glanced at him, and snorted: "I'm talking about Xue Yingqing's good looks!"

"Hiss! There is such a weird thing?" Jiang Lianheng put down the tea bowl, cleared his throat and said, "Did she tell you? Wife, she is an old liar who has taken advantage of Ge Nian, so be careful!"

"Yes, yes, she doesn't like it—" Jiang Lianheng was stunned for a moment, then said anxiously, "Eh? What do you mean by that?"

"She doesn't like you."

Although Xue Yingqing is rich, he is alone in the sky and has no influence or connections. Not only is money not money, but it will turn into a disaster if he is not careful.

"To be honest!" Hu Xiaoyan said angrily, "It's not just you, it's the same for anyone. Xue Yingqing has someone in mind."

"Not me?"

"How fresh!"

In return, Xue Yingqing needs to borrow money to help the Jiang family get land to undertake construction work, send people to help the Jiang family manage the business in Huifangli, and pay bonuses to the Jiang family according to the amount after the port is opened for trade.

"Well, I see."

He didn't say it, but in his heart he did have some concerns about these seniorities and relationships, so he had no choice but to laugh dryly and forcefully defend himself:
"No, no, you misunderstood. Isn't this just idle chatter? I... I just wanted to ask what you two talked about this afternoon."

"Let's talk about Lian Qi and business matters."

"Look, you still don't believe me!" Jiang Lianheng lit a cigarette, took a deep breath and said, "Daughter-in-law, what is the most important thing between husband and wife? It is trust!"

After all, her box of gold bars was all black gold, and it was not easy to spend it openly and without arousing suspicion.

For Xue Yingqing and others, staying in Fengtian to join the flag with the Jiang family is a sure-profit deal.

Hu Xiaoyan leaned on the bed and asked coldly: "Why are you asking about this? Xue Yingqing is my aunt's junior sister, my daughter's godmother, and your sister-in-law. Do you want to buy or sell by force?"

"Hey! You're talking about her! That's fair, she looks good, but don't worry, there's no need to be jealous. There's nothing between her and me, at least for now."

Hu Xiaoyan's proposal is very reasonable.

In the afternoon, Hu Xiaoyan made the Jiang family's conditions in the study:
After Fengtian City opens to the west as a port, the Jiang family will allocate part of it to Xue Yingqing, whether it is to build a house to collect rent or open a shop to do business, it is all up to her, and the Jiang family will provide her with connections and influence.

Jiang Lianheng was stunned.

Hu Xiaoyan put away her clothes, turned around and said, "I didn't say I didn't believe you, I do."

"That's right! This is what a good wife and mother looks like!"

"What do you think?" Hu Xiaoyan asked.

Jiang Lianheng put out his cigarette butt and muttered: "It would be best if this thing can be done, and my aunt can have more companions to talk to, but what should I do about Shopkeeper Xue Lian Qi?"

"Of course we have to count people from the Jiang family."

"But in terms of seniority, she is my sister-in-law——"

"There is no room for negotiation on this matter!" Hu Xiaoyan's attitude was very firm. "Being a member of the Jiang family is a prerequisite. She must either accept it or throw her away. It doesn't matter in front of her family. There can't be any ambiguity in front of outsiders! Xue Yingqing is an old Jianghu, she won't Can’t tell, if she can’t tell, it must be intentional!”

The couple reached an agreement - from now on, the rules of the Jiang family must be clear and clear.

Speaking of this, Jiang Lianheng simply picked up the "family rules document" on the desk.

"Then take this opportunity to explain the rules again!"

This document was originally drafted by Liu Yansheng, but now it has been changed beyond recognition. Looking at the dense red annotations on it, it is not a change at all, but a complete rewrite.

The reason is simple: there are rules within the customs and outside the customs.

Creation of a mountain depends on one’s ability, not on seeking one’s roots and ancestors, to put money on one’s face, and not on relying on those illusory origins of ancestors. Otherwise, what else would it be called “building a mountain”?
Even if there really is a so-called line of ancestors, can others be worthy of it, but not me?

The rules of the Jiang family are decided by the Jiang family!

Therefore, Lao Ling changed all the seabeds to Beibang Spring Points, and the process of worshiping the mountain was simplified one by one. There was no need to copy the four beams and eight pillars mechanically, and only the necessary ones were taken from the sect rules and oaths. Jiang and Hu discussed together and decided that the Jiang family's new rules must be implemented.

The first big thing to do under the new regulations is to “collect trolls”!
The Jiang family had done more than a dozen single-ring ring business with the German guy Yaspsen, and they had stocked up on a lot of box cannons and sticks. In the past, in order to boost their reputation and show off their appearance, they would often distribute them to the brothers who were watching the show.

Nowadays, Fengtian is stable and the Jiang family is dominant online. Open quarrels have long been out of date, and the Jiang family no longer needs to rely on such crude methods to act as a deterrent.

There are too many trolls, and it doesn’t matter whether they are rebellious or not. They are all dumbfounded, swaggering around the market, shouting and drinking, and the government will not tolerate it when they see it.

From now on, except for the various leaders and Yuan Xinfa and other guards, no one else in the Jiang family will be equipped with guns - of course, the trolls who were not sent by the Jiang family and bought with their own money are not among them.

Only when encountering difficult matters, the family will issue guns as needed, and after the matter is over, they must return them in full on time.

There are not many people who are qualified to receive a gun, so loyalty is of course essential. They also need to be good at skills, know how to measure, and know how to advance and retreat. These people can usually work or not work.

The Jiang family calls these brothers "Xiangzi" - as the name suggests, they can represent the Jiang family's tough brothers who shoot and injure others.

"Xiangzi" does not necessarily have to be equipped with a gun. The one who is equipped with a gun must be "Xiangzi".

The second major thing to change in the new regulations is about "mountain worship"!
Wanting to join the Jiang family is both easy and difficult.

If you just want to make a living, it's actually very simple. You just need to find a job in Xiaoxiguan where the Jiang family works, or work with the Jiang family's boss.

However, these people can only be regarded as "bangwai"!
If "Bangwai" is bullied, someone from the Jiang family will come forward to help solve the problem; but if "Bangwai" becomes domineering and causes trouble outside, no one from the Jiang family will come forward to help reveal the truth.

There is only one exception, and that is when the Jiang family needs to use them to "show off".

People who "help outsiders" are not allowed to call themselves "Jiang family members."

Only after passing the assessment, submitting a certificate of nomination, or having someone vouch for it, submitting documents, and going through many procedures, can one be considered a member of the Jiang family.

This is what is called "helping".

The brothers "in the gang" also have high and low status, and "Xiangzi" who is qualified to take the gun will naturally have the opportunity to directly obey the orders of the "family members" of the Jiang family.

The so-called "people in the family" refer to Jiang Lianheng, Hu Xiaoyan and various leaders.

Although each hall can have a "Xiangzi" and you can equip yourself with a gun if you wish, the status of "the boss's Xiangzi" is undoubtedly higher.

In addition to "outside the gang" and "in the gang", the rest is "depending on the gang".

Foreigners came to Fengtian to do business and were not familiar with the place. They urgently needed a dock and a backer. Those who trusted the Jiang family would pay a gift and be affiliated with the Jiang family for safety and security.

On weekdays, they do not interfere with each other, but during New Years and holidays, the cooperation of "relying on help" should express filial piety.

The third major thing that needs to be changed in the new regulations is about the "leader"!
It is not quite accurate to say that the Jiang family is the "general leader" of Fengtian, but the Jiang family is indeed the leader with the most manpower and power. Other leaders, big and small, cannot be compared with the Jiang family if they are put together.

From now on, the Jiang family, like the "Xijia Bank" in other places, will send small bosses to collect "membership dues". The "membership dues" will be "kept" by the Jiang family and used when necessary to allow workers to help each other. .

According to the most fashionable saying in the newspapers, this seems to be called life insurance.

Many other rules, oaths, procedures and other details, such as the fact that Jiang Lianheng will be called "Dongjia" except for Si Fengkou in the future, naturally do not need to be elaborated on.

The couple deliberated carefully all night before finally finalizing the new rules for their family.

It has been four years since Jiang Lian opened the mountain and established a cabinet. With the overall situation of Fengtian decided, matters related to the official start of the Jiang family have finally been put on the agenda.

However, a single thread does not make a thread, and a lonely tree does not make a forest. The new rules have been established. Before starting the game, it stands to reason that you still have to discuss with your brothers before making a decision.

The next morning, Xue Yingqing arrived as scheduled with his head knife and Dong Erniang, and agreed to join the Jiang family in raising flags and hanging posts.

A few people closed the door and turned on the small stove to have lunch.

During the dinner, Jiang Lianheng and Hu Xiaoyan briefly explained the rules of the Jiang family. Xue Yingqing had no objections and only focused on teasing Jiang Ya. Jiang Ya also liked this godmother very much.

In the next few days, Jiang Lianheng met with Zhao Guoyan, Liu Yansheng and Wen Tingge separately.

Naturally, the three of them had no objections to the Jiang family's new rules, especially Liu Yansheng. Not only was he not disappointed because the rules he had drafted were changed, but he persuaded Jiang Lianheng that he should start the game as soon as possible and make the rules clear to avoid trouble in the future.

Outsiders have no objections, let alone Si Fengkou.

Therefore, Liu Yansheng calculated the auspicious time and scheduled the opening of the mountain and the start of the game that should have been carried out four years ago after the beginning of autumn.

At this time, the capital authorities sent electricity to the whole country!

A huge piece of news that shocked both the government and the opposition quickly spread throughout China and abroad—the president died suddenly!

After Jiang Lianheng heard the news, the classic line from "Pick the Pulley" rang in his ears again:

"I saw that the ants in the camp were like a sea tide, and I could see the endless mountains and deserted countryside; I also saw that the soldiers were circling around in disorder, and the horses and soldiers in the ranks were noisy..."
