Traveling through the Legend of the Condor Heroes: I, Yang Kang, Have Nine Yang

Chapter 151 The Business Gang
Zhong Qizhi welcomed Yang Kang into the main house, and introduced the members of the gang along the way. In fact, many of these people were Yang Kang's old subordinates in Zuo Chilongtang. This time, they dragged their families to follow Yang Kang. Most of them I didn't want to work for the Jin people. It was because Yang Kang didn't let them do things that would harm the Han people. Now that everyone knows that Yang Kang is originally a Han Chinese, he is naturally more loyal to Yang Kang.

As for the four guardians of Yang Kang's gang, Li Tiezhu and Zhong Qizhi are still in Jiaxing at this time. After all, the other two have extremely busy and complicated things to do. It has not been more than a month since Yang Kang asked them to do things. Time, there is no way.

However, during the conversation between the two, Zhong Qizhi and Li Tiezhu looked at Axue who was beside Yang Kang from time to time. Seeing this, Yang Kang was about to introduce something, but Axue had understood Yang Kang's intentions and said, "I am the servant girl of the young master. Please take care of me in the future."

Only then did the two of them suddenly realize that this was the woman next to the gang leader last time.

A few people were seated, and Ah Xue stood behind Yang Kang. Yang Kang immediately asked, "How many people are there in our gang now?"

Li Tiezhu knew that he was not good at these things, so he handed them over to Zhong Qizhi. Zhong Qizhi was a little embarrassed, and said: "The leader of the gang came just in time. In fact, I have been a little bit burnt out these days. The current official members of the gang, that is, now There are only a hundred people in Jiaxing, most of them are old brothers who came with the gang leader."

Yang Kang nodded, understood the current situation, and asked seriously: "What about the unofficial staff?"

Zhong Qizhi said ashamedly: "This subordinate is incompetent, the group of orphans that the leader ordered to educate, this subordinate has brought over one-third so far, and the rest"

When he said this, he stopped talking immediately, a little embarrassed, Yang Kang was puzzled, and asked, "What?"

Zhong Qizhi let out a long sigh, and said: "The gang has not saved enough money, travel expenses are not enough, and there will be a lot of expenses in the future. After calculating it, I brought the three best-performing orphans. One-third, the rest had to let them stay where they were, but if they were not brought in for another month or two, I am afraid they would also starve to death."

When Yang Kang heard this, he leaned back on the chair, thought for a while, and said, "This is indeed a bit cruel to those children, but there is no way, those who have no ability to work are simply consuming silver taels, but there is no way to earn silver taels." Ability, it’s no wonder you, how many taels of silver do you have?”

Hearing Yang Kang's question, Zhong Qizhi ordered his subordinates to bring the account book, and immediately handed the account book to Yang Kang. At the same time, he also pointed to the above account to go in and out, and explained to Yang Kang one by one.

When Yang Kang saw this account book, he felt a little headache. Before that, he had never seen any account book, and he didn't care about it. It was not until today when he read the account book that he remembered that the words "one, two, three, four, etc." are still used in this era. " to represent numbers. Although this is also a kind of Chinese culture, it is not as advanced as Arabic numerals. This needs to be changed.

Immediately, Yang Kang took a rough look. The remaining taels of silver in the current Taikang Gang are probably less than 2000 taels of silver. In addition to the previous 2 taels of silver, there is also 5000 taels of silver that Hongdou Niangzi lost halfway. It is no exaggeration to say that the Taikang Gang cannot make ends meet.

Thinking of this, Yang Kang couldn't help but feel even more distressed. Seeing this, Axue quickly comforted him: "Young master, don't worry, this should be the first time you run a gang, some difficulties are normal, as long as you survive this period of time Enough."

Yang Kang listened to Ah Xue's words of comfort, and said with a smile: "That's right, I used to have a very vague concept of money, and today I don't know how expensive the money is if I'm not in charge of the family. It's hard work for Zhong Hufa and Red Dou Niangzi."

When Zhong Qizhi heard what Yang Kang said, all the fatigue of these days was swept away immediately, and he said with a smile: "It's okay, this is also to repay the kindness you have shown me, the leader."

Yang Kang then asked: "Let's talk about the silver issue later, please tell me how many other people are in our gang."

Zhong Qizhi said: "Hongdou Niangzi's caravan has about five or six hundred people in Dali, but only more than 100 of them belong to our gang, and the rest are hired locally to work for us; Shops have also been reduced and dismissed. And Liu Hufa's staff has shrunk sharply, and currently there are only a hundred people scattered around to search for news."

Yang Kang nodded and said: "Based on this calculation, our gang has nearly 700 people. The 700 people rely on the gang for food and drink. It is estimated that 2000 taels of silver will not last long. It is not easy to make money."

Suddenly, Yang Kang couldn't help but wonder, he actually only has more than people, and the Taikang Gang with a total of more than people is also so tight, so those big gangs such as Shaolin Temple, Quanzhen Sect and Iron Palm Gang How do beggars, beggars and the like make money?
Thinking of this, Yang Kang also expressed his doubts, and Zhong Qizhi replied: "Shaolin Temple and Quanzhen Sect are all big landlords in one place, they control tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, and many farmers do long-term work for them; They are famous all over the world, and there are often some people who try to catch their fame. For a little fame, they donate a lot of gold and silver to them, and the number of people who come to offer incense is even more countless; It is profound, even if it is some foreign skill, many people in the world are flocking to it, and spend a lot of money to learn a little bit of skill."

After hearing this, Yang Kang sighed, and said with regret on his face: "This kind of power has been passed down for a long time and has a profound foundation. It seems that we can't learn it."

Zhong Qizhi continued: "The Iron Palm Gang is a big gang in the Lianghu and Sichuan and Sichuan regions. Its main source of income is protection fees. This protection fee is not for the poor people everywhere, but for the traders. The goods transported in also pay a lot of tolls every time they pass through the territory of the Iron Palm Gang, and they protect our safety when crossing the border."

Yang Kang sighed: "It's a pity that our help is too small to earn this protection fee."

Zhong Qizhi finally laughed and said: "As for the beggars' gang, they are much more simple. They are a group of beggars. They live by begging for food, so they don't have any big expenses during the day. Although they earn less money, they live comfortably."

Yang Kang sighed for a long time, and finally made a decision: "We can't imitate those famous schools. In terms of money, we have to take an unusual path."

Li Tiezhu, who had been silent for a long time, couldn't help it anymore, and asked, "Which way is the leader planning to go?"

Yang Kang chuckled, his way of making money may not be a big deal in the future, but at this time, there is still a kind of advanced nature that crosses the age.

From Zhong Qizhi, Yang Kang learned that the current major powers in the rivers and lakes are still generally operating in the way of feudalism. Although this method has formed a system, as a latecomer who wants to catch up with those pioneers as soon as possible, it is obviously not good to stick to the rules possible.

At this time, Yang Kang decided to develop capitalism and develop the Taikang Gang into a commercial gang first.
