Tang Dynasty good brother

Chapter 225 Coincidence?

Li Xiaogong obviously didn't expect the new uncle to come to the door so soon, and immediately ordered a large table of delicious food. After a simple drink or two, the family of four happened to play mahjong, not to win money, just to have fun.

"Is your son-in-law troubled by anything recently?"

Qin Hao shook his head and said, "It's not distressing, it's just that I feel uncomfortable about something."

Li Xiaogong was very interested, and immediately asked, Qin Hao originally came to ask for advice, so he explained the cause and effect in detail, and Li Xin at the poker table only figured out the twists and turns here Wandering around, pouted and said: "You men are troublesome, obviously there is nothing wrong, so all this nonsense is nothing."

Li Xiaogong smiled and said: "Understood, you don't have any special trust in that squirrel, and the Green Gang is a sharp sword in your hand, so you want to be on guard, but also feel sorry for you, in case you are a villain It’s a little bit of a pity for others if you want to be a gentleman’s belly, that’s what it means.”

"Yes, father-in-law, you eat more salt than I eat rice. I wonder if you have any advice for me."

Li Xiaogong thought for a while and said: "Since the Green Gang is a sharp knife, of course it is better to hold it in your own hands, not to mention that next year you will retire from the position of the gang leader, if you want to take the lead, of course you have to find someone with less prestige." Only the crowd can do it, if the whole group resolutely supports the new leader, the old gang leader is almost useless, the so-called Tai Ah backs, that's what it is."

"Yes, I thought so too."

"Since the idea is right, just do it. There is no need to feel guilty. Which army was not in the hands of the relatives when the Supreme Emperor opened up the territory? Just like this, I am not immune to suspicion. The superior must take precautions before they happen. Otherwise, when that squirrel really becomes the leader of the Green Gang, it will be even more difficult to deal with the suspicion and estrangement with you. If you do some things now, you can still be friends with each other."

Qin Hao nodded to express his understanding. For example, why did the imperial guards in the Song Dynasty seldom rebel?Is it because they are all loyal?Of course not, that's because they don't have the soil to rebel.

To isolate that bad possibility and deprive the squirrel of the option of betrayal, then they will naturally be good brothers for a lifetime.

…………

In a blink of an eye, a month has passed, and the big bosses of the Qing Gang from Yizhou, Dengzhou, Bingzhou, Yangzhou, Luoyang, Quanzhou and other important places have all gathered in Chang'an City, waiting for their leader Wenquxing to give them instructions. Everyone is a domineering figure in the local area. In troubled times, this is the predecessor of taking some heroes, so people in the Jianghu call this meeting a hero meeting.

Except for those in Luoyang and those in Chang'an, these people have basically never seen Qin Hao, and now Qin Hao has long been known among the people as a star descending to earth. Words like heroes are in vain appeared, so when Qin Hao finally appeared in front of everyone, he unexpectedly found that his prestige was surprisingly high.

Looking at the hundred or so heroes, Qin Hao was not stage-frightened, he greeted everyone with a smile, and wrote down everyone's name and nickname, and even the rich families and rich families came to join in the fun He also tried to remember the names as much as possible.

After a while, after everyone had finished exchanging greetings, Qin Hao made a gesture and began to serve the food. For today's meal, he went to the old man's house to borrow a cook. It is said that it is no worse than the one in the palace. Anyway, Qin Hao The tongue can't tell the difference between them and the imperial chef.

I thought that this group of reckless people would be noisy when they ate, but who would have thought that this group of people was quite well-behaved. When Qin Hao spoke, he was completely silent, even if the It is no exception for those who are far away and can't hear anything clearly.

Qin Hao was naturally very satisfied, so he simply got down to business and said, "Everyone, the Green Gang has been developing for so long and has relied on your help a lot. It is really my fault, Mr. Qin, that I have not met you until today. Everyone, have a cup."

When everyone finished drinking and the scene became quiet again, Qin Hao said: "Everyone, I invite you to come here today. The first reason is to let everyone get to know each other and get acquainted. If anyone asks someone in the future, I hope everyone If you can help each other, of course, if you find Qin, you will never refuse to do what you can."

In fact, this sentence is a scene talk, also called polite talk, or nonsense for short. Everyone knows that the next step is the key point, so they all listened to him with bated breath.

"These two come, there is indeed a major matter related to the foundation of my Qing Gang, and I want to discuss it with you."

Seeing Qin Hao take a sip of light wine, he continued: "Now my Green Gang mainly relies on water transport to make a living, half of which is the imperial court's grain, and half of it is various materials from the people. I just want to know that everyone knows that Wei Guogong Jieli Khan was captured alive in the First World War, and the Hexi Corridor has been a smooth road since then. After that, the goods from the Western Regions will inevitably flow in, and our silk and porcelain will also continue to flow out. It will definitely not be enough, after all, buying a ship is not as good as building a ship, I plan to gather everyone's efforts to build a big dock, how about it?"

Everyone discussed for a while, and naturally they would not have any opinions. Today's Youth Gang is not a strict organization, otherwise they would not know each other. Anyone who is interested in this kind of thing can get involved. Dividends are just enough, at most, a part of the profits will be reserved for the gang, and there is not much money distributed to individuals.

Then I heard Qin Hao continue to speak lightly while drinking: "It's also a coincidence. I mentioned this when I chatted with Duan Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry a few days ago. It happened that the imperial court's shipyard in Yangzhou was still closed. Well, although there are occasional small jobs, most of the time they are still empty."

Hearing this, everyone became curious. They were very interested in the fact that Qin Hao could casually have dinner with Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry. However, the squirrel felt a thump in his heart, as if something bad was about to happen.

Sure enough, Qin Hao smiled and said: "So I asked the sage for an order. We can use all the shipyards in Yangzhou, not only to build river boats, but also to build sea boats and warships. The imperial court will not accept ours." Rent, but for every ten merchant ships built, three warships must be built for the imperial court, and at the same time, if there is a war that requires the use of navy, our Qinggang merchant ships must be refitted without hesitation, and the water gangs from all over the world will transport food and grass. I wonder what you think?"

how?How else?The imperial court leaves the factory and the workers, and only [-]% of the built ships need to be used as warships. This is a fool who disagrees. Even because the Tang Dynasty has no navy for the time being, this may not be a bad thing for the imperial court. Solved a big burden.

The big shipyard in Yangzhou was actually built by Yang Guang in the former Sui Dynasty. With Yang Guang’s ecstatic personality, one can imagine how large the shipyard is. However, the main strategic focus of the Tang Dynasty is now in the west. The opponents are not only snow mountains, but also deserts. It's useless to want the navy, Fang Xuanling had long wanted to sell the shipyard, and it happened that Qin Hao was willing to take over, so naturally he agreed to this policy without saying a word.

As for the phrase to go to the battlefield when necessary?Hehe, in the Tang Dynasty, it was an honor to go to the battlefield, and it was not easy for anyone to be a soldier, so naturally no one would have any objections.

But the Skyshuttle couldn't help but feel upset, because from now on, the money from the Green Gang will be transferred from Luoyang to Yangzhou, and Yangzhou's power may even surpass Luoyang in the future. Yangzhou?Who knows who he is.

I whispered in my heart, is this a coincidence?should. . . .It's a coincidence.
