Xie Yu was not worried about how the newly arrived magistrate planned to suppress the bandits.
After all, the county magistrate has no right to mobilize soldiers.
All he wanted to do to suppress the bandits was to gather together a group of local warriors for training.
And the brave people from Ta County... really don't have the fighting ability to fight head-on with the bandits.
So after Xie Yu asked, he put the matter behind him.
I took Bai Xiaonan with me and stayed at Huaxuan Club for three days.
Bai Xiaonan also experienced the foot massage service at Huaxuan Club.
Of course, the core of Huaxuan Club is still the brothel business.
Therefore, Huaxuan Club also has the services that a brothel should have.
Looking at the men hanging among the flowers every night, Bai Xiaonan chose to turn a blind eye.
But she still found Mao Tou privately and warned Mao Tou not to provide such services to Xie Yu.
Otherwise, if you let her know, she will definitely castrate her first.
Three days later.
Xie Yu and Bai Xiaonan met Shao Ping, the chief escort of Jinfu Escort Bureau.
Along with Shao Ping, there were Su Dequan and about a dozen other men of similar age to them.
After seeing these people, Bai Xiaonan's eyes instantly turned red.
Shaoping is not tall, at least a head shorter than Su Dequan next to him.
But the whole person looked very energetic.
Xie Yu observed Shaoping. He had well-developed trapezius muscles and his sleeves were half an inch longer than his hands.
This means that the clothes he wears are slightly too big.
But the clothes seemed a little tight on him. It's obvious that underneath these clothes is a refined torso!
This is the effect of year-round exercise.
After some pleasantries, Xie Yu also understood who came with Shaoping.
These people are all old associates of Bai Zhentang and uncles of Bai Xiaonan.
Seeing Bai Xiaonan at this time, these uncles also looked sad.
So much so that even half an hour after we sat at the dinner table, everyone was still reminiscing about the past.
"Okay, let's stop talking about the past. Now that we know Nan's whereabouts, we will have more opportunities to meet each other in the future. By the way, Xiaonan, I heard from your uncle Dequan that he has recently unified more than 20 bandits in Yingzhou. Were you the one who took the lead in setting up the Village’s Emergency Development Committee?”
Shaoping got down to business.
Bai Xiaonan nodded, then looked at Xie Yu next to him and said: "Exactly. It's not a problem to be a bandit all the time. The government doesn't know when, and they will suppress it immediately. Instead of being worried all day long, it is better to do something that is not prohibited."
"But... you are doing this kind of thing, and you don't give tax money to the government, it doesn't count as compliant, right?"
Bai Xiaonan looked at Xie Yu, and then said to Shao Ping: "I have communicated with a certain general about this. It is really difficult for the government to set up a name for taxes and money."
"Why?"
“Our identity is a bit sensitive!”
As soon as Bai Xiaonan said it, Shaoping understood.
The bandits formed an alliance to collect protection fees. Regardless of whether the outcome of this matter is good or bad, the nature of it is definitely illegal!
If the government wants to collect taxes from this illegal activity, then you have to give them a legal name!
If this is really installed, then these gangsters who have been against the government for many years will be whitewashed in an instant!
Would the government do this?
Shaoping pondered for a while, thinking that Bai Xiaonan's words just revealed information about a certain general, and he estimated that that general should be Bai Xiaonan's protective umbrella.
"Xiaonan, we are not outsiders, so I won't hide some things. When I heard about the Development Committee, I knew that the business of the escort agency would definitely be affected!"
"I definitely don't want this committee to get started. But since I know you are taking the lead in this committee, I shouldn't stop it. But... Xiaonan, you have also seen that so many of your uncles are following me. There’s food to eat…”
Xie Yu remained silent next to him.
Shaoping talked in a roundabout way for a long time, and finally expressed what he meant.
This should be done by the Development Committee, and he can even help persuade those merchants to pay "service fees."
But... Jinfu Escort Agency scored 40%!
When hearing this condition, Bai Xiaonan didn't say a word.
Xie Yu actually smiled.
This Shaoping has a really big appetite.
According to him, the 40% he asked for was also a loss for their Jinfu Escort Bureau.
But he didn't mention at all the cost of escorts from their Jinfu Escort Agency!
When bandits were raging before, many people chose to take detours.
Not many merchants actually choose to have Jinfu Escort Agency escort them.
The key is that bodyguards also have labor costs. Counting these expenses, are their profits really as high as Shao Ping said?
"Boss Mr. Shao, if this Development Committee is just a business of the Baishizhai family, let alone 40%, even if it is 60% or 70% for you, there will be no problem. But..."
"There are a total of twenty-five heads of the National Development Committee. In addition to giving points to these heads of state, part of the service fee will also be used to support the people above!"
Xie Yu sang "Black Face" next to him.
"So I'm afraid that Mr. Bai won't be able to agree to this 40%! Why don't you order less?"
"Order less?" Shao Ping looked at Xie Yu and asked with a smile, "How much do you think is appropriate?"
"How about...one point?"
Xie Yu also had a smile on his face.
Shaoping said nothing.
He just stared at Xie Yu for a long time, and finally turned his attention to Bai Xiaonan: "Xiaonan, you should think about this carefully. If you think about it, tell me. My escort agency is in the city, you Just ask anyone and you can find out."
Shaoping didn't mean to talk anymore.
One point from Xie Yukai is one percent.
One percent of your shares? Isn't this a curse?
Of course, Shaoping did not know that a certain president of a large company in later generations also promised to sell the company one percent of its shares.
But just this one percent made the man who had lost his crown shed tears of gratitude and lamented that a scholar would die for his confidant...
How can you expect a martial artist to understand the sentiments of scholars?
Bai Xiaonan didn't understand why Xie Yu wanted to stimulate Shaoping so much.
In her opinion, Shaoping was right! My father's old men now rely on Shaoping for their livelihood.
Even if Baishizhai gets less money, so what?
Of course, in front of Shao Ping, Bai Xiaonan would definitely not question Xie Yu on the spot.
So in the following time, Bai Xiaonan only talked about old times with Shaoping and others, and the matter of the Development Committee was deliberately ignored by everyone.
After having enough wine and food, Shaoping also left with his people.
As soon as they left, Bai Xiaonan finally couldn't help it anymore: "You seem to have some opinions about Uncle Ping?"
Xie Yu smiled and scratched Bai Xiaonan's nose: "Did you see it?"
"I'm not stupid!" Bai Xiaonan slapped Xie Yu's hand away depressedly.
Xie Yu was not angry either. He smiled and said to Bai Xiaonan: "I always feel that you, Uncle Ping, are not real. My eldest niece, whom I haven't seen for many years, has to be pampered after we see each other again? Now just for some money, she actually... I have to compete with my eldest niece for money!"
"It's not like there are so many people..."
"Does it have anything to do with you?" Xie Yu interrupted Bai Xiaonan, "He can support him if he can. If he can't, let everyone find another way out! If he wants to be such a good person, he has to kidnap you morally?"
"Forget it, let's not talk about him anymore. We have been out for a few days, and it's time to go back."
Xie Yu stopped the discussion on Shaoping's character.
The two of them greeted Mao Tou and left Ta County on horseback.
Not long after leaving the city, they turned into the mountain road.
As a result, while crossing a forest area ahead, several tripping ropes suddenly popped up on the ground!
Xie Yu and Bai Xiaonan were immediately thrown off their horses!
