Brother Song Taizu

Chapter 236 Selection of Sect Leader

In fact, few of the direct descendants of the Sky Rat can understand the situation, and few can fully understand the words of the Sky Rat.

But it didn't matter. Since the Sky Rat forced them to retreat so hard, they naturally retreated. No one really cared about this power.

Because they are indeed too rich.

Almost all of these people can be regarded as indirect shareholders of the trading company. If one day the trading company is listed like the East India Company, they will even be the major shareholders.

With so much money, everyone wants to retire with dignity.

In fact, the Flying Squirrel was really not lying to Zhao Guangmei. He was really losing control of his subordinates now, and couldn't fight at all, because they, the locals of Kaifeng, were no longer good.

Not to mention his direct brothers, if your Highness, King Qin, goes to the dock, you will know that among those who are really working, there are no locals from Kaifeng!
Basically, eight out of ten natives of Kaifeng are members of the military, and most of them are among the first batch to enter commercial firms. As long as they are not too lazy, most of them are now at least middle-level leaders.

To put it another way, the housing prices in Kaifeng have become like this. Who the hell is not a millionaire?When the house is demolished and demolished, he might become a millionaire.

Do you want me, a man with a huge fortune, to work as a coolie at the dock carrying sacks?

Of course, Yizimen used to be dominated by foreigners, but foreigners are also divided into those who come early and those who come late. To be honest, there are only a few locals in Kaifeng. Originally, the capital was founded by refugees. Now basically, Anyone who lived in Kaifeng before the New Deal was officially implemented is considered an old Kaifeng person. Basically, there are not many old Kaifeng people who are not doing well.

The basic base of the Flying Squirrel is also these people. The rich are indeed rich now, but they are really not as good as those outsiders who came later in fighting. They have long wanted to retreat bravely. If they really want to fight with the foreign gangs one day, Ensure that their true colors are revealed one after another.

In essence, gangs and societies are the product of people at the bottom of the class holding together to keep warm. It is very strange that these people who have escaped from the bottom of life are still living in this muddy water, and it is not in line with the laws of society. Retreat and spend the rest of their lives. and future generations can live quite well just on rent and shares.

But just as the Flying Sky Rat said, under the current situation, the Yizi Sect must be divided. To hold elections at this time is to put the Yizi Sect on the chopping board and let the mermaids eat. After all, many old people are still reluctant to give up. And everyone is facing the same dilemma now, that is, they may not be able to control those below.

Because the Kaifeng Prefecture is cracking down hard, the interests of some of the halls will be seriously damaged. At this time, Yizimen actually has two ways to go. One is to give in decisively and cut off the industries that Zhao Guangmei doesn't like at the speed of light. We don’t want them all, the government can fight as they want, and then we choose an honest sect leader to be a loyal lackey of Kaifeng Prefecture Yin. Everyone will continue to make money, and Kaifeng Prefecture will not overdo the gray industry of Yizi Sect. Turn a blind eye.

For example, lending, forced buying and selling, even clothing, etc. These are actually the most difficult to manage.

Those dirty businesses that have been squeezed out of the Yizimen will not completely disappear in the face of severe government crackdowns. They will definitely still exist, but they will become more secretive and much less powerful.

The other option, of course, is to fight against the imperial court.

To be honest, does Yizimen have the confidence to confront Zhao Guangmei?In fact, there are indeed some. No matter how ruthless Zhao Guangmei is, it is impossible to arrest all the hundreds of thousands of people in the Yizimen. He will be dumbfounded once Kaifeng is in chaos.

Besides, it was impossible for him to know who was from the Yizi sect and who was not from the Yizi sect.

Wait, wait, there are actually many ways to do it. In short, the more the government suppresses it, the more time these groups should unite. As long as they are united, even if they are cowardly, they can be more beautiful.

But it happened that the Sky Squirrel listened to Zhao Guangmei's words and wanted to hold an election at this time.

Moreover, before the election, each hall was clearly set up and a hall responsibility system was established.

It is certain that he will further damage the prestige of the boss. The middle and lower levels of the Yizi sect already have a lot of opinions on him. What's more important is that their Yizi sect has basically no chance of uniting this time.

The people below are already saying that the word "righteousness" does not mean loyalty.

The Flying Sky Rat naturally knew this, but chose to admit it.

When people are in the arena, they can't help themselves.

"Among the two sect leaders chosen this time, the deputy sect leader, needless to say, must be the pervert Lan Guichang. His assistant should be the most profitable in the entire society except for us, and has almost a complete monopoly. He is now responsible for most of the dancers, escorts, and the population business in Chanzhou, as well as the prostitutes in Jinxiufang. This guy can be regarded as one of our own who followed us, and is closely related to Kaifeng Mansion. We have a good relationship with everyone at the top and bottom, and we even know several major shareholders of the company. This opportunity must be given to him. Do you have any objections? There is indeed no more suitable person than him. "

Everyone nodded. In fact, there was no choice. The deputy sect leader was selected from the white paper fan. To put it bluntly, he was a civil servant of the society, and the so-called civil servants were just for connections. No matter how he was chosen, he would be theirs. In fact, There is no need to choose for this first term, they can just identify them directly.

"As for the sect leader... I think Black Panther is more suitable."

"Do we, the sect master, have the final say? Brother, with your approach, some people will be dissatisfied in the end. Even if we split, it doesn't matter, but at least we can't engage in a big merger. In the end, His Highness wants stability."

"Yes, what we want is stability. In this regard, I will operate and try to nip conflicts in the cradle as much as possible, especially those who are neutral."

"Ah~"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look downcast for a while, but they were helpless.

The next day, Skyscraper personally set up a bridge and brought Black Panther and Lan Guichang together to let them get to know each other and form a team to participate in the election.

There is nothing much to say about Lan Guichang. He is basically the younger brother or even the spokesperson of the Sky Squirrel. Most of his connections are brought to him by the Sky Squirrel. He will do whatever the Sky Squirrel asks him to do. He will work for two years. The deputy keeper then retired, looking good too.

The Black Panther is different. He is actually the largest contractor in Kaifeng City, or the leader of the construction workers' trade union. He is also a construction worker. When he saw this, he instinctively frowned and said: "Why are you looking for me? Help I don’t know most of the people there.”

"Because you are suitable. There are three to four thousand people in your clan, and each of them can fight. Look, which clan is better than you?" "Don't be kidding, Master, I'm just a hard worker on the construction site. Yes, the brothers trusted me and asked me to be their eldest brother because I can help everyone make decisions and negotiate salaries with the bosses. How can we be considered a gang? I joined the Yizimen just to avoid trouble, but now you are throwing me Is it such a big trouble to come here? To be honest, I'm really not interested."

"Hey, you have the management rights of the car and ship shop, the dock and warehouse, even if you pay the health fees and storage fees to Kaifeng Prefecture every year, you can earn at least 300 million yuan. Although it is public funds, it is all at your disposal. .”

"What does it have to do with me? I can only apply cement, sift sand, drive steel nails, and lay bricks. I just want to earn some hard-earned money honestly. I can't do such high-end things like you. Who would? Will you serve me as a coolie?"

"That's not what you said, Black Panther. The advantage is that you are a member of the gang, but when you are needed, you resist and everything is up to you, isn't it? You can't be like this as a human being."

"How about I quit the club? You can find someone else."

Black Panther is not a fool. Of course, he can see that this position is not easy to fill. Moreover, he is indeed not a gangster and is most afraid of trouble. The reason why he can be the leader of the hall is because he always stands up for the worker brothers and can fight. The brothers under his command are also united and efficient in their work, and they are well-known throughout Kaifeng Mansion.

What we are doing is a legitimate business, and what we earn is hard-earned money. Just hang it under the righteousness gate and don’t let the locals bully you. Why should we bear the karma of the righteousness gate?Who knows when those people down there will cause big trouble, and won't the court want to deal with him as the sect leader?
In short, his attitude is very firm and he will quit in the worst case.

Based on his strength, if he quits at this time, there is absolutely nothing the Sky Squirrel can do against him, at least it is not worth fighting with him at this time.

The Flying Sky Rat smiled bitterly when he heard this, and then said helplessly: "It's difficult for me too, Black Panther, to be honest, all of this is the idea of ​​His Highness King Qin. Apart from you, there is really no more suitable person in the gang at present. Our righteousness The loss suffered by Zimen is small, but it has delayed His Highness’s plan. How can I afford it? Black Panther, I really like you. If you have any requests, please don’t say it so harshly.”

"Huh? What does His Highness King Qin... mean? Master Shu, do you... know His Highness King Qin?"

"It's natural. In fact, the reorganization of our Yizi Sect was all His Highness's idea. I haven't changed it at all. When he invited me to dinner a few days ago, he specifically mentioned to me that the first session of our Yizi Sect would be held. The election is really a top priority, related to the prosperity and stability of Kaifeng as a whole, and even the success or failure of the New Deal."

"Wait a minute, what did you say?"

"I talk about Kaifeng's prosperity and stability, and the success or failure of the New Deal."

"No, further ahead, you said...His Royal Highness King Qin, would you like to have dinner with me?"

"Ah, isn't that just for the election of our Yizi Sect? He told me that day that we must pay attention to this matter and choose a reliable and trustworthy new sect leader for our Yizi Sect. Hey ~, you said you still don’t agree, who among us can be trustworthy and reliable?”

The Black Panther stood up when he heard this: "I...I...I didn't say I didn't agree, I agreed. You had said this was His Highness's intention. This...then what if...if I became the door Lord, is there any chance to meet His Highness King Qin?"

"That's natural. His Highness the King of Qin is very concerned about this matter. You may not be able to understand some things because your position is not high enough. In fact, even His Highness the King of Qin has many places where he relies on us. It's no exaggeration. He said that our Yizimen owes a lot to the fact that Kaifeng is what it is today."

"Prince Qin, how much do you rely on us?"

"It's natural. King Qin has approached me many times before when he was not the governor of Kaifeng. Now that he is the governor of Kaifeng, doesn't he have to rely more on us? Of course, if you don't want to, Then even the King of Qin will definitely have nothing to do with you, and he can’t force you, right?”

"I am willing, as long as I can see His Highness the King of Qin, how can I not be willing? I dare not say rely on it. As long as I can help His Highness, I will be lucky for the rest of my life."

Hearing this, the Flying Sky Rat understood in his heart.

It's hard to tell that this black panther is actually a fan of His Highness.

"Okay, after you successfully become the sect leader, I will take you to visit His Highness King Qin, but... you want to be the sect leader, there is still a difficulty, the Senate will definitely support you, I am afraid that some of us will be dissatisfied Ah, it doesn’t matter anything else, I’m just afraid that when the time comes, we will start fighting among ourselves, which will not only damage our muscles and bones, but also affect the prosperity and stability of Kaifeng, make His Highness unhappy, and blame you and me for not doing things well.”

"I understand, Master Shu, what do you need me to do?"

"It's not what I want you to do, but Your Highness, in the future, the Yizi Sect will never allow blatant opening of casinos, brothels, human trafficking, murder, extortion, robbery, kidnapping, etc."

As he said that, the Flying Sky Rat took out a check from his pocket and said: "This is a deposit certificate of 80 yuan. It is the funds I gave you personally. You don't have to worry about the vote in the Presbytery. Everyone will support you." , the key is not to have a fight, but also to clean up the cancer in the gang. In addition, I can give you a thorough explanation. Although it is a period of severe crackdowns, His Highness and I have a tacit understanding, and we need help from the government. If you are looking for a bad guy, I can help you with just a little help."

"it is good."

…………

the other side.

Also in the teahouse.

A gentle-looking middle-aged man wearing Uesugi clothes was also organizing a meeting with people.

"Damn, in the last three days, our place has been completely wiped out by those Qiu Ba from the patrol camp, and a total of sixteen of my brothers have been arrested. What about you? Damn, if this continues, our business will be ruined. There’s no need to do it. At this time, the Sky Rat, as our eldest brother, can’t find a way to help us tide over the difficulties, so he actually wants to retire? Why should we choose a new sect leader? I don’t think he is worthy of being the sect leader of our brothers.”

The person opposite said: "Big Bear, don't be so excited. Mr. Shu has a big business, so he naturally has his difficulties. The intensity of the crackdown on gangsters this time is unprecedented. His Highness the King of Qin caught him personally. What can he do? Besides, he is almost here now." We are the de facto shareholders of the commercial bank. What is his status? How can he offend the King of Qin because of us?"

"Damn, the King of Qin is amazing. As the leader of our sect, the Flying Sky Rat can't stand up for us. He is not worthy to continue to be the leader of the sect. It doesn't matter whether it's the court or the King of Qin. I don't think it's a big deal. If I can When you become the head of the sect, there are hundreds of thousands of brothers in the Yizi sect. We go to the streets to make trouble together. What can the King of Qin do? Arrest people? Are there so many prisons in Kaifeng Mansion? Is it possible that he can kill us all? ? Do you support me? Damn it, tonight I will go to Fan Tower and set fire to let them know how powerful I am. Don’t think that we are transformed from clay figurines who are allowed to be bullied!"
