Tang Dynasty good brother

Chapter 41 Thunder and Rain
Unexpectedly, this guy with wicked eyebrows and mouse eyes would actually be a money catcher in Luoyang City. He really can't look like a person by appearance, and Qin Hao couldn't help but be a little more polite to him.

"Oh, it turns out that my brother is actually a money catcher. I'm really negligent. Since he is a money catcher, why did he get mixed up with someone surnamed Wei? Could it be that my brother is also in the way of my brother?"

The Sky Mouse hastily waved his hand and said: "The Qin family's words are serious. My brother has been in Luoyang for decades and caught up with three natural disasters. It was all the people in Guanzhong who came to Luoyang to eat. This is the contradiction. At least, there are no conspicuous conflicts on the street, how could my brother make things difficult for you, but I am a local snake in Luoyang after all, I have to be clear about what's going on, I wanted to mediate in the middle, but I didn't want brother Qin Resolute and capable, before I wait to make a move, I will solve it first, it is really a hero born a boy, admire, admire."

The so-called money catchers are not comparable to ordinary gangsters, whether they are gangsters or white gangs, they are all dignified figures.

This kind of people is a unique specialty of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Civil servants in the Sui and Tang Dynasties have to take care of lunch during work, and they have to carry a few catties of mutton and pull a few bolts of silk for the civil servants during the New Year and holidays. This money will have an independent fund.

But the amount of money that people come and send in the officialdom does not seem to be much, and the money is paid out once a year, so they can simply borrow the money for usury or investment, and then the civil servants will eat and drink with the interest. The principal is accumulated every year, and the more you save, the more you save.

But these money can never be managed by the government, so a special industry of money catchers has been born. The government gives this welfare fee to the money catchers every year, and the government doesn’t care what the money catchers do with the money, but the Some interest guarantees have a lot of money, which can be regarded as a special investment manager in feudal society.

You must know that there are iron-clad soldiers in a yamen, after all, there are only a few officials in a yamen. So whoever will do the money-catching, the general officials don't care about it. After all, officials only work for a few years before changing, but officials almost always work for a lifetime, so the county magistrate doesn't care about the money-catching people. , is an unspoken rule that was almost made clear throughout the Tang Dynasty.

Who can be a money catcher?First of all, you have to gain the trust of all the officials in the county, at least the trust of the majority, so that everyone on the white road can give you face.Secondly, the investment environment was not very good in ancient times, and those with high returns and low risks were loan sharks, so you have to be a good thief in the underworld.

Anyone who can become a money catcher is a master of black and white, and after becoming a money catcher, it is equivalent to having the support of the entire local government, allowing their underworld forces to develop more unimpeded. The so-called strong dragon does not suppress local snakes, County magistrate Du really doesn't have any good way to take him.

With such an identity, Qin Hao had to be polite to him, otherwise, if something happened to the squirrel tonight, the whole Luoyang would be in chaos tomorrow.

Qin Hao would never believe that such a character really followed Wei Hu with his brain. Qin Hao estimated that on the one hand, he might really want to inquire about the news. After all, as a local snake, such a big thing happened to him. It is necessary to understand clearly, and on the other hand, I am afraid that he has the idea of ​​reaching out secretly, hoping that such a major matter will be in his own hands, and see if he can get any benefits by the way.

Qin Hao turned his eyes, and said: "It's been so long since I came to Luoyang that I just met my elder brother. I really shouldn't. Please forgive me if I offended you before. Luoyang is a treasure land. From Dengzhou to Chang'an in the west and Yangzhou in the south, we have to pass through our pier. It is not an exaggeration to say that this water flows gold. Everyone makes money with harmony. If you have money, you can make money together. It’s better not to use weapons or not to use weapons as much as possible, we all value peace, how about it.”

The Sky Mouse smiled and picked up the wine glass: "Good brother, peace is the most important thing, and we will make a fortune together. I have no objection. I hate fighting and killing people the most."

Looking at the smiling face, he looks like a rich man in the countryside who is kind to others, but he can't tell that he is a money catcher who takes everything in black and white.

Qin Hao said with a smile: "Then, Lord Shu, let's make a deal. Luoyang, please suppress me. I know that the brothers have been wronged, but for harmony, for the sake of the overall situation, I hope everyone can bear it a little bit." , we won't go too far, when this bad year is over, we all have to work together, I, Qin Hao, promise that we will never treat our old brothers in Luoyang badly."

As he spoke, Qin Hao clasped his fists and gestured to the people below one by one, and everyone laughed and stood up to return the salute.

Everyone is not a fool, now that Fatty Wei has played himself into it, if this fight continues, there will be no backer on the white road. The most important thing is that once the court sends down the fury of thunder, their scapegoat will be gone. So the battle is actually out of the question.

Qin Hao was courteous first and then soldiers, and the effect he received was pretty good. Except for the pimp, no one had an accident. Otherwise, these people plus his little brother who cost tens of thousands a piece would be enough for him to drink a pot.

The most important thing is that when the Green Gang is established in the future, these people, especially the Sky Shuttle, will be the most important part of the Green Gang.

Picking up the wine glass, Qin Hao said again: "Masters, for the sake of peaceful coexistence in the future, let's drink to the brim!"

Everyone: "The head of Qin is proud!"

Everyone laughed. After the glass of wine was finished, the incident provoked by Fatty Wei, at least on the surface, was exposed to each other.

Putting down the empty luminous cup with a bang, Qin Hao said again: "I know that I will affect everyone's business to some extent. The conflict between the people of Luoyang and the victims of the disaster is a serious problem after all. I have a proposal. It’s rare that all the bosses are here, how about we make glutinous rice balls? You have one hand, and I have the other hand, and everyone will make the glutinous rice balls big and round, and share them together, how about it?”

Zhan Tianshu laughed and said, "The Qin family has a business to introduce, so why not talk about it and listen to it, don't say that you don't share food, don't brothers in the rivers and lakes pay attention to helping each other, it's useful to the elder brother The definition of a local elder brother is irrefutable."

Qin Hao laughed loudly, and said: "There is really a glutinous rice ball that needs to be rubbed. Everyone knows that the younger brother will hold a charity performance. This is a major event to appease the victims. I don't want to see any people from Luoyang and Guanzhong. There is a conflict between them, this kid is not familiar with the place, so I still have to rely on the help of the masters, don’t worry, I will never let you work in vain, and there will be a big gift after the event.”

When everyone heard this, they clapped their chests and agreed, but it was Tieniu, an idiot, maybe he was really too straight-minded, or he was really poor, so he asked directly: "What a gift."

Qin Hao said with a smile: "In Luoyang City, there are always people who are rich and unkind. Among the rich and unkind people, there must be hoarders. After the matter is completed, you will lead the way, Lord Shu. Let's rob three and five of his families and get seventy dollars." [-]% will be given to the victims of the disaster, [-]% will be given to the people of Luoyang, and the remaining [-]% will be shared by everyone. If the government blames it afterwards, it is all my fault. I will carry it alone when the sky falls, and I guarantee that I can bear it ,how?"

Good guy, when Qin Hao said this, everyone's eyes turned red, including Master Shu.Even though they only get 10,000% of it, but they are few. There are nearly a million people in Luoyang, and there are [-]+ victims, but how many are they? !
