David Tong's worries are naturally not unreasonable.
However, after careful consideration last night, Duan Wenjun has already considered this issue.
Since he thought of this auction method, he naturally had a way to deal with these problems.
He looked at David Tong and nodded slightly, "Shopkeeper Tong's concerns are not unreasonable, so in order to cooperate with Shopkeeper Tong, the rest of us need to do some other things."
David Tong said no more.
Everyone's eyes turned to Duan Wenjun again.
He gently put down the porridge bowl in his hand, then turned to look at Huo Xiaoqi, "Xiaoqi, how many people do we have in the capital now?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was stunned.
Huo Xiaoqi came to the capital with Lin Shuer.
However, after he came to the capital, he left Lin Shuer with a few brothers from the guard camp, and then went to do his own things.
As for what he was doing, even Lin Shuer didn't know.
They were doing their own things, and only when Lin Shuer needed his help would she ask the brothers following her to notify him.
Huo Xiaoqi is very clever, so Duan Wenjun took a liking to him at a glance and entrusted him with important tasks.
At this moment, he looked at Duan Wenjun and his face became a little solemn. "Shaodong, the situation in the capital is much more complicated than that in Wangjiang. In order to prevent others from becoming suspicious, according to the instructions of the Shaodong family, what we have collected now are all those on the street." punks and some beggars.”
"However, the young master's family can rest assured. Although there are not many of them, they have been carefully selected by the brothers and will definitely not cause any trouble to the young master's family."
"Approximately how many people are there?" Duan Wenjun nodded.
"The ones I have recruited are basically some gangster leaders, there should be about twenty or thirty people. However, they basically have three or five younger brothers. If the Young Master family really wants to do something, it should not be a problem to have a hundred or so people."
"A hundred people?" Duan Wenjun frowned slightly, "Although it's not a lot, it should be enough."
"There's just one problem." Huo Xiaoqi licked his lips, and then continued, "If these people want to bully the market and scare some ordinary people, there is no problem, but if you want them to deal with those dignitaries, young ladies, etc., I’m afraid it won’t be very useful.”
Huo Xiaoqi looked troubled, "After all, most of them are natives of the capital. If you really offend those people..."
Huo Xiaoqi was born a bandit and had a lot of banditry in him. Naturally, he looked down on these gangsters who only knew how to fight on the street.
"I understand." Duan Wenjun nodded. "How big these people can do does not actually depend entirely on their courage. Sometimes it also depends on the benefits that things bring to them."
Seeing that Huo Xiaoqi was still a little confused, he continued, "Perhaps these people are indeed what you said and cannot be reused for the time being. But just like the selection of our guard camp, after some things or training, we Just pick out the people we need.”
"Of course it's too early to say this now, but it will definitely be effective after a while." He looked at Huo Xiaoqi, who was still frowning, and said with a smile, "By the way, where are the beggars?"
A bright smile immediately appeared on Huo Xiaoqi's face, "Actually, I think these beggars should be far more useful than those gangsters."
For more than ten days after Huo Xiaoqi arrived in the capital, he mingled with the beggars in the capital almost every day until Lin Shuer sent someone to inform him that Duan Wenjun had arrived.
In these ten days, Huo Xiaoqi gained a lot.
Nowadays, Dashun officials are corrupt, bandits are swarming everywhere, and the people's life is miserable.
Naturally, there are not a few people who have become beggars.
Shangliang in the capital is the most prosperous place in Dashun, so naturally more people gather there.
Moreover, in order to consolidate their own territory, these beggars also formed their own small forces.
However, they not only have to guard against others coming to seize the territory, but also need to fight with local gangsters. In fact, life is not very easy.
On the first day that Huo Xiaoqi arrived in the capital, he encountered a group of beggars being chased by a group of gangsters. At that time, he saw the injustice and helped.
With their skills, those little gangsters are no match for them.
After only a few encounters, the dozen or so gangsters were beaten to a pulp.
As a result, Huo Xiaoqi suddenly transformed and was actually regarded as the eldest brother by those beggars.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he quickly found out the details of these beggars in the capital.
Compared with the original gangsters in the capital, most of these beggars are outsiders or miserable people who have been forced to have no other way out.
Most of the gangsters on the street have a large or small backstage to protect them, but these beggars do not.
During this period of time, nearly a hundred beggars had gathered around Huo Xiaoqi, making him one of the largest beggars in the capital.
Of course, this is still a matter of name.
In order not to attract the attention of interested people, in fact, secretly, he also won over or tamed many other forces.
When he said this, Huo Xiaoqi's face smiled even brighter.
If there are not five thousand beggars in this capital, there should be at least three thousand.
However, the number of people under his control, Hao Xiaoqi, is now close to 1,500.
Of course, this is still within his control.
If he wants to entangle more people and let these people gather again, there will definitely be more.
In particular, among these beggars, there are all kinds of people, including many capable people.
For example, among the talents he has recruited now, there are even several masters with second-rate peak cultivation.
There are even many scholars whose families are in decline.
When he thought of those serious scholars calling him eldest brother, Huo Xiaoqi felt very proud...
When he heard this, Duan Wenjun couldn't help but change his face.
He originally thought that by asking Huo Xiaoqi to come to the capital in advance, he could act as a forward station and gather some available low-level people so that if anything happened, he could run errands or do odd jobs.
But I didn't expect that Huo Xiaoqi would handle things so beautifully.
What surprised him most was that Huo Xiaoqi actually infiltrated into the beggars and gained their trust and support...
There are not many people in the capital of Mao San's spy shadow.
Therefore, the information collected is naturally very limited.
However, at this moment, Duan Wenjun had a bold idea in his mind.
To collect intelligence and find out information, these beggars are the best candidates.
If only Huo Xiaoqi could organize these people for his own use.
Then many problems will probably be solved.
Thinking of this, he stared at Huo Xiaoqi and suddenly showed a faint smile.
