At this time, Chu Dayuan introduced: "Brothers, this is Mr. Wang from the capital! With Mr. Wang in charge this time, great things can be accomplished!"
After everyone came forward to introduce each other, Chu Dayuan directly arranged him on the chair on his right, which was regarded as the seat of the guest of honor. It seems that he attaches great importance to Mr. Wang.
After everyone sat down, they naturally started to chat, and at the same time, this was also a process of getting to know each other. As soon as the topic started talking, Mr. Wang started talking with great eloquence! One day I drank with a certain minister, another day I went to a brothel with a certain uncle, and from time to time he revealed one or two secrets about the capital, which shocked everyone!
Moreover, the things and characters he described were quite detailed. Judging from everyone's experience, what he said was indeed not false. This made everyone take a higher look at Mr. Wang!
But if Liu Haojia were here, he would probably sneer at Mr. Wang's lofty speech! This person actually has no position in the capital, he is just a political broker! He wanders among wealthy families all day long, making a living by relying on information disparity and connecting people.
It is true to say that he has some abilities in activities, but in the eyes of people at Liu Haojia's level, he is just a rag! If it's easy to use, keep using it; if it's dirty, just throw it away!
But Mr. Wang's style of behavior is already a remarkable figure in the eyes of these people who have never seen the world, and it can reach the sky! According to him, they all receive preferential treatment in the Prime Minister's Mansion! So everyone became more and more convinced of Mr. Wang!
Finally, Mr. Wang said: "The leader of the Chu Gang has made it clear what happened just now, but it is difficult for you to shake Wu Ninghou alone. After all, he is also a well-established figure in the court, so there needs to be an equally powerful figure. Just contend!"
Chu Dali said loudly: "Mr. Wang, do you have any idea in this regard? You know, our brothers are all rough guys, and we still have some prestige among ordinary people, but those high-ranking families don't listen to us!"
A trace of disdain flashed quickly in Mr. Wang's eyes! How could a group of local thieves be noticed by those gentry families! However, he quickly narrowed his eyes and said, "It doesn't matter, those people will go down and arrange contacts. All you need to do is help encourage the people and small and medium-sized merchants!"
Chu Dali was overjoyed when he heard this and said: "Mr. Wang, don't worry, we have tens of thousands of members in the He Gang. If they are all mobilized, they will definitely be enough for Wu Ninghou to drink a pot! And those small businesses are no problem! If they listen to me, I will smash them Their store!"
Chu Dayuan shouted loudly: "Don't talk nonsense first, you are always fighting and killing, how unbecoming it is!"
Mr. Wang also shook his head and said: "The words of Gang Leader Chu are very kind. We should treat these merchants with both soft and hard tactics! On the one hand, we need people like the second master to put pressure on them, and we also need the temptation of benefits! For example, tell them that as long as they are forced Wu Ninghou’s idea of collecting the merchant tax will reduce your share of water extraction by half!”
When everyone heard that the protection fee would be halved, they all showed a look of hesitation on their faces. Mr. Wang saw this and felt even more disdain in his heart! However, he thought about it and reluctantly explained: "Perhaps cutting their taxes in half will cause everyone to lose a lot of income, but have you ever thought about it. If Wu Ninghou succeeds in collecting taxes, they will still pay you money in the future. Is that so? It’s better to have half the income than to receive nothing at all, right? Besides, as time goes by, we can slowly change the rules back!”
After everyone heard his explanation, there was finally a look of relief on their faces. Especially Chu Dali, he slapped his thigh excitedly and said, "That's right! When Wu Ninghou becomes honest, we can just say how much it will cost!"
Mr. Wang looked at them with a hint of disdain in his eyes! How can a group of people who can't even part with money do great things? But this time things really couldn't be separated from them, so he had no choice but to endure it.
Then at Chu Dayuan's request, he began to arrange what everyone had to do. After hearing this, everyone felt that his arrangements were very organized, and they all agreed immediately.
Early the next morning, many core disciples of the River Gang were called to the main hall to receive work assignments from various gang leaders. But what everyone is confused about is that the big boss has disappeared inexplicably. Who knows where he went?
As for Mr. Wang, he began to work in a wealthy gentry family.
He started walking around, and returned to the River Gang from time to time to discuss with several gang leaders. Under the mobilization of Mr. Wang, the entire He Gang acted in a very orderly manner.
On this day, they met to summarize the progress of each place. When a few people prepared food and drinks and chatted while eating, suddenly a disciple came in and said: "Several leaders and brothers in the military camp who were ordered to keep an eye on them sent back news that there was something there. When this happened, the soldiers were packing their bags, as if they were going on a long trip!"
Mr. Wang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately said loudly: "Have you found out what they are going to do?"
The disciple said: "I haven't found out yet! But I have sent my brothers to find out! I am just afraid of delaying the gang leaders, so I came here to report the news first!"
Mr. Wang said loudly: "Okay! The most worrying thing now is these thousands of Wu'an troops! If they leave Tianjin, God will help me!"
Yu Wansheng also said with joy, "Quick, continue to inquire, we will wait for news here!"
The disciple agreed and turned around and went out. Then Yu Wancheng sighed and said: "Mr. Wang, to be honest, what I am most worried about is this Wu'an Army! Now they have been expanded to nearly 8,000 people. In addition, it is said that there are There are also 2,000 heavy troops, which is already a giant! If we make even the slightest move here, we will be suppressed!"
Mr. Wang also repeatedly sighed and said: "This is God's blessing for us to succeed! If this thing comes to pass, you and I will all contribute, and this life will be enough. I can't ask for anything I want!"
Chu Dali interrupted at this time and said: "If my eldest brother serves as a guard in the future, I wonder what kind of official position he can give me?"
Mr. Wang heard this and said with a smile: "It depends on how your elder brother distributes it!"
After hearing this, everyone laughed together. After laughing, they began to look forward to the future, thinking about what they would do as officials! It's just that Yu Wansheng is a little unhappy and dissatisfied! Because he was also assigned a military position. And he has always regarded himself as a scholar. I want to get a civil service job!
But he did not come from the imperial examination system. How could there be a civil servant position for him! However, Mr. Wang told him that he could find him a civil service position in the county government in the future, which made him quite excited.
