Chapter 13 Chapter Thirteen Reluctant
The Kaifeng Four Jiao didn't know what Yang Hao was going to say, so he raised his spirits immediately, Yang Hao said slowly: "The four strong men gathered tens of thousands of people in the four canals of Bianhe, Caihe, Jinshui, and Guangji, and made a living by transporting them. The official decree is that if you can help the imperial court complete this important event, you can issue official certificates to the four ship owners, formally establishing that the four will operate the Bian River shipping business, and the imperial court water transport business in the future."
The four ship owners were stunned for a while, and then they heard the meaning of the words, they were surprised and happy at once, and they couldn't speak for a while.They gathered tens of thousands of people to make a living on the big river, and it was inevitable that they would not be exploited and oppressed by the governments all over the country. Speaking of glory, it was only a glory among the common people.
Moreover, although they each occupy one of the four major canals in Kaifeng, they are far from monopolizing. It can only be said that they are the four most powerful and influential ship owners among the four canals. If the imperial court publicly recognizes their identities , it is quite different.
They travel around, and the exploitation of them by the local government will be greatly reduced, and with this officially recognized identity, they will ship escorts and recruit thugs, and they will no longer have to cover up for fear of arousing the suspicion of the government. It is conceivable that once this identity Establishment, although there is no immediate benefit, but in the long run, it will produce huge benefits, and the power will grow stronger and stronger. The result is very different if there is an official or no official.
Yang Hao knows very well that as a huge organization, it manages the eating and drinking of tens of thousands of people, and behind these tens of thousands, there are tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of old and weak women and children, all relying on them. These four ship owners were willing to do their best for the court either out of loyalty or fear of official authority, and there was absolutely no way to make these tens of thousands of trackers and boatmen do their best.
They are not puppets. Everyone has thoughts and has their own interests. If there is no real benefit, how can they be allowed to exert unimaginably huge kinetic energy and do their best to transport food?So he persuaded King Wei to speak to the officials, and simply admitted that these four were actually gang organizations.
Gangs have always been an unstable social factor, but gangs organized because of a special economic operation mode are different. If you don't recognize them, you can't stop their actual gang mode. Moreover, because they operate for profit It is difficult for the businessmen gathered together to have the idea of rebellion.
On the contrary, because of the public recognition of the court, they do not have to hide underground, so they have to rely more on the support and cooperation with the government, and it is easier to manage them and use their abilities. The close relationship with the government can be verified.
If we define it more precisely according to modern concepts, the so-called Caobang is just a logistics company that makes a living by transporting goods by water. They depend on the prosperity of the imperial court to survive. Therefore, once the country is in turmoil and the economy is depressed, it will directly affect their survival. , They will become a folk force firmly dependent on the imperial court.
Yang Hao clarified the pros and cons to Zhao Dezhao one by one. Zhao Dezhao was not stupid. Although he was inexperienced in the world, he could understand Yang Hao's analysis immediately. He naturally understood what he said, so he immediately went to the palace to tell his father Please order.
After Zhao Dezhao sorted out his words, they were naturally more organized and convincing. Although Zhao Kuangyin was most afraid of shaking the imperial power, he was very moved by this suggestion. In addition, the situation forced him to mobilize the four major gangs To help them all, we need to give them a little sweetness. Secondly, Dezhao has just undertaken an errand, and he also needs to establish authority for him, so Zhao Kuangyin generously agreed.
Kaifeng Sijiao was surprised and delighted, and asked many questions in a hurry, Yang Hao answered them one by one, and said with a smile: "Everyone will probably receive the official official document from the imperial court tomorrow, and Mr. Yang congratulates you here first, From now on, we can be regarded as colleagues.
The four masters, from now on you will be the leaders of the gang, and I believe that the business in Kaifeng Siqu will be booming, and you will create a great success for the community, for the people, and for yourself. achievements.Once the four gangs of Bianhe, Caihe, Jinshui, and Guangji are recognized by the imperial court, they will never be replaced by rise and fall in the future. The Song Dynasty is in one day, and the four gangs of Kaifeng Water Transport are in one day, and you four are the four The originator of the gang. "
What Yang Hao said, the four people blushed and their ears were hot, and the excitement was unspeakable. The four founders breathed for a while, and they almost screamed.
Only then did Yang Hao explain the tasks assigned to them by the court in detail, and the four of them listened carefully and wrote them down one by one.Finally, Yang Hao said: "This time, the four guild leaders will each choose a suitable ship to transport the grain, and send capable men to compete with the river. The first comer will be rewarded and the latecomer will be punished. Although you have a month's preparation time, no matter it is The ship is still the sailor, and now we are going to start the selection and preparation, everyone, don’t delay, if you mess up, you will be punished, and Yang will be helpless at that time.”
The four of them were full of longing and pride, and immediately agreed again and again that they regarded Yang Hao as their nobleman. If they didn't know it, even if they were officially recognized by the government, it would be impossible for their so-called leader of the Cao Gang to be as formal as Yang Hao. Compared with the official status, he has long been dragged to the hall to chop the chicken head and burn yellow paper, and go to worship brothers.
Yang Hao explained the entrusted matters one by one, and the leaders of Caihe, Jinshui, and Guangji Sanqu's Cao Gang, Chen Xiaofan, Xiao Muyu, and Liu Liu immediately left excitedly and went back to plan for the rush.Of course, the first thing they have to do is to show off to their wives and close ones their new identity that they can be proud of from now on: the leader!
There is no help in the world, but Master Yang will have it as soon as he comes.Lord!How did Mr. Yang come up with it? This title sounds much more prestigious than the head of the family!
When Yang Hao returned to his mansion, he felt hungry. He dared to eat a bowl of rice porridge and two side dishes in the morning, but he hasn't eaten yet. As soon as they entered the door, Wawa and Miaomiao both came up to welcome them, and there were two people standing beside them, but Yang Hao had just entered the mansion before Yang Hao, these two people were Mu Yu and Mu Yike.These two people are similar in age and temperament. Although they often quarrel and vomit, their relationship is getting better and better. Now, Yang Hao doesn't need to put on a show and bring his guards. Sometimes he goes out alone without Mu Yu. If Mu Yi wants to go to the street, Mu Ji went with her.At this moment, the two had just returned, carrying a bunch of things in their hands, and when they turned their heads and saw Yang Hao, the two hurriedly called out: "My lord." "My lord, you are back." Miaomiao smiled like a flower, and walked up to her side by side with the baby. Miaomiao now knows that the baby will be taken as a concubine by Yang Hao into a private house.She was originally a smart and well-behaved woman, under such circumstances, there is no reason to fight with the doll all day long, if she is proud of being favored, seeing the coquettish appearance of the doll, it is already quite good for my adults not to be fascinated by her , Can you still reprimand her for yourself?With such thoughts in mind, coupled with the fact that the baby is generous and well-behaved, and intends to make friends with her, the relationship between the two has greatly improved. Of course, because of this, she also has some girlish thoughts, such as starting to like to dress up, and no longer always wearing makeup, she always dresses herself up handsomely, delicately and cutely, and she also exudes a sense of style on her body. Gao's eau de parfum made it fragrant, and when talking with Yang Hao, he often used some charming tone and charming demeanor, faintly showing the posture of competing for favor with the doll in another battlefield. When Yang Hao saw the two icy and jade-skinned beauties, they both came up to meet them, like a pair of petite incense fan pendants, his eyes lit up.They are really beautiful and delicious two handsome women, but they can eat and eat, but they can't really eat them. When the pleasing beauties caught their eyes, their stomachs became more and more hungry, and they immediately said: "Miao Miao, go to the kitchen to clean up. Here are a few dishes, sir, I am so hungry that my chest sticks to my belly." Miaomiao was taken aback for a moment, then she laughed "Carder" and ran to the side yard with a promise. "My lord, are you leaving Beijing?" Mu Yike and Mu Yu both rushed over, and Wawa stood aside with a smile, not rushing to talk. "Yeah, I have to leave Beijing early tomorrow morning, huh? You two... what did you buy?" Mu Yu held a bundle of scallions in his left hand and two womb cabbage in his right, and pouted at the lotus leaf bun in Mu Yike's hand, and said, "Here, that's fresh mutton stuffing. I heard from the yard that the dumplings on horses Get off the horse noodles, my lord is going to go far away, so I have to make dumplings to eat." "Is there such a thing?" Yang Hao was a little confused, he vaguely remembered that it seemed that the dumplings were off the horse and the noodles were on the horse. Mu Yu nodded earnestly: "Yes, put the dumplings on the horse, because the dumplings are like ingots. It's auspicious, and bless your lord to have a smooth journey and get rich and promoted. When you get off the horse, you want to use noodles to tie your legs, so that people will return to their roots and never leave the house." Wandering, that's what the old courtyard said." "Well, then I'll fill up the stomach first, let's eat dumplings tonight." Seeing Mu Yu and Mu Yike being so considerate like adults, Yang Hao felt warm in his heart. Mu Yike said: "Well, the servant girl will make dumplings first, and then pack things at night." Yang Hao was taken aback and said, "What are you packing?" Mu Yike said confidently: "Go and serve the master." Yang Hao couldn't help laughing and said: "No, the master is traveling with the king of Wei this trip, how can he have such a big picture, and he also brought his own girl with him? You stay at the mansion, you are fine, and learn from Sister Miaomiao Take care of business." "Ah, won't the master take Yue'er there? Then... Yue'er won't see the master for a few months." Mu Yike was reluctant to let go, and her two big eyes immediately filled with tears. "Silly girl, what's there to cry about? My master, I'm only away for two or three months. Not only can my master not take you, I can't even take anyone with me, and Xiao Yu can't go either. Xiao Yu, will you cry?" Mu Yu straightened his chest and said loudly: "Don't cry, a man bleeds and doesn't shed tears. From the age of seven, Xiao Yu didn't know what it's like to cry." Yang Hao smiled kindly: "My good boy, let's eat dumplings stuffed with mutton and scallions tonight. Go, you chop up this bunch of scallions."
When Yang Hao returned to his mansion, he felt hungry. He dared to eat a bowl of rice porridge and two side dishes in the morning, but he hasn't eaten yet.
