Chapter 13 11. The development history of Diba

"Talking about Qiandezhuang in those days" depicts a piece of land and outlines a strong man in the early years of the Republic of China. This man planned and managed his business, and left another story of getting rich and getting rich by means of violence.I will first extract the original text of this story, and then pick out a few places that I think are worth emphasizing, and make some explanations and supplements. Qiandezhuang is located in the south of Tianjin City, with a radius of more than two miles. Most of the residents here are people who work hard and work hard.In the sixth year of the Republic of China (1917), there was a flood, and some victims lived here to make a living.This piece of land is basically owned by two families: one is the well-known rich family in Tianjin "Li Shanren", and the other is the Chongde Church of the Catholic Church.

When Qiandezhuang was first opened, it was originally the world of Han Mulian and his son.Han Mulian is a Catholic and the rent collector of Chongde Church.One of his sons, Han Xianglin, opened a small Han family shop in Qiandezhuang, secretly setting up a treasure trove to attract gambling and prostitutes, and profit from it.The father and son made money from all directions, and their pockets were getting bigger and bigger, which made Li Zhen and Li Yu brothers in the nearby Xilou Village jealous. The bully Li Zhen is an apprentice of Bai Yunsheng, the leader of the Tianjin Youth Gang.Li Yu, nicknamed "Little Li San in Huaxie", is also a well-known "gangster" in Tianjin.The Li family brothers have been out of business since they were young, and they have been idle, specializing in deceiving, blackmailing, and defrauding others.They colluded with Zhen Lianfa, the real protector of Xiaowangzhuang - this man has a wide eye, can collude with the government, and make troubles to file a lawsuit. .This man is from the Xin Family Courtyard in the western suburbs. He came to Qiande Village with a basket and a pole to look for food. The Li family brothers saw that he was tall and strong, and he had a lot of strength, so they ordered him to lead the battle.Lu Chungui went to Han's small store to smash the treasure bureau and hacked Han Xianglin.The father and son of the Han family were lonely, and they lost in the court case, so they left Tanggu in anger.

Squeezing Korea to seize the land, the Li brothers got their wish.In order to gain a foothold on this land and avoid being squeezed away by others, Li Zhen played three moves. In the first step, Zhen Lianfa took the initiative to spend money to mobilize the Mao officers of the West Fifth Office of the Township (similar to today's police sub-station), to get a few sets of police uniforms and two big guns, and to establish a " Li Zhen’s confidantes were the successive sheriffs of the small bureau” (that is, the police station).To put it bluntly, the "small situation" was set up by Li Zhen.

The second step is to create an organization.Li Zhen got involved with Zhen Lianfa, Lu Chungui, Mu Wenbin, and human trafficker Cheng Haiting, etc., and set up an organization called "Security Company", which recruited a group of hooligans, philistines, litigators, and knives.In Qiandezhuang, it occupies the sky and dominates the ground, picking cakes on the flat ground, and plucking the feathers of geese. The third step is to recruit disciples.The apricot-yellow banner of the security company opened the mountain gate and set up the incense hall. The monsters and ghosts from the three mountains and six mountains, and the fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs from the rivers, lakes and seas all gathered under Li Zhen's gate.

Li Zhen took these three moves, took charge of the security company, played both official and private roles, with the government protecting her and the minions at the bottom. A major source of income for security companies is managing real estate.Those who raise real estate in Qiandezhuang, no matter who you are, have to be collected and managed by a security company.What should Chongdetang do?The owner of the Shudeli property is Xiaye warlord Meng Enyuan, so what?They have to buy the account of the security company, otherwise they will be in trouble. There is such a thing: Dong Cao Ba of Xilou Village, it is said that his grandfather was a "retirement monk" (monk for the master) of Emperor Guangxu's seventh uncle.Cao Ba built Lianrongli and Fuhouli in Qiandezhuang, and raised houses for rent.Li Zhen finds Cao Ba and proposes to collect and manage it on his behalf, and at the same time rent Fuhouli to the owner of the kiln.Cao Ba was also not a fuel-efficient lamp, and she refused straight away: "No!" Li Zhen threatened, "If Cao Ba is not captured, the security company will not be able to do it!" Then he instigated more than 20 gangsters under his command to go to Cao Ba's house to make trouble.Who knew that the Cao family had already prepared, and a dozen or so soldiers in military uniforms and carrying guns rushed out of the courtyard. This group of hooligans were dumbfounded when they saw it, and as the saying goes: "A bachelor does not fight for power", they rushed away All run away!It turned out that Cao Ba had someone in the Tianjin camp affairs office. He heard some rumors beforehand, so he spent money to hire soldiers to stand ready.Three days later, several men in military uniforms came to the security company and kidnapped Li Zhen without saying a word.The security company hurriedly spent money to guard the door and rescued Li Zhen.

Li Zhen is not willing to give up, and threatens to "beat Cao Ba twice" when she comes back.It's really hard for a strong dragon to overwhelm a local snake, Cao Ba admits defeat, entrusts the middleman to come forward to set up a banquet, and obeys Li Zhen to manage the real estate, so the turmoil is over.Kill—to warn hundreds, even Cao Ba is softened, let alone other homeowners. The so-called collection and escrow of the security company is actually tantamount to hegemony. One side detains the landlord, and the other side extorts the tenant. In addition to managing real estate, security companies have many ways to make money.If you open a store, it collects taxes on your behalf; if you do small business, it asks for "land money"; Dezhuang committed the crime.Take a brothel as an example, in addition to paying rent and donations to the security company, you also have to rent the security company's door and the security company's quilt.It sounds like a joke, how can you rent a house without a door?No, the door rent is charged separately; how can the owner of the kiln not have a quilt?No, I'll bring you a few quilts, do you need to count the money by the day.

For ordinary residents and shop owners, there are also many items to be collected, such as sanitation fees, street lighting fees, road construction fees, self-government fees... They always come to collect money from time to time, and they have to pay as much as they say. Dare not to give.Li Zhen is enough to make a fortune on the Sixteenth Road. The 1930s was a prosperous period for Qiandezhuang.In the center of Qiandezhuang, near Yong'an Avenue, some tea gardens, wine shops, and Luozi restaurants have been opened, and there are only six theaters.There are also those who talk about storytelling, sing Shidiao, talk about cross talk, and perform shadow puppetry. Shops of all sizes are also scattered around.Some decent businesses have to have Li Zhen's "dry shares", that is, to hang a name and enjoy the benefits.For example, Baoxing Theater and Baoxing Bathhouse all have Li Zhen's shares.Li Zhen's name is Baoxuan, so there is a word "Bao" in the two names.

Li Zhen died in 1940, and had been tyrannical in Qiandezhuang for more than 20 years. In the whole story, the most eye-catching conflict is Li Zhen fighting Cao Ba.In Li Zhen's words, this is related to whether the security company can do it or not. Cao Ba raises a house for rent, and has some influence. The tenants dare not renege on their debts, so it is naturally cost-effective to manage the property by himself.Li Zhen intervened and insisted on collecting and managing it on her behalf. This was obviously a hard grab, and Cao Ba of course wanted to fight.The question is whether it is cost-effective to resist or to comply.

If you choose to fight, the benefits are obvious, assuming that you can reduce the loss by a hundred yuan per month.What about the risk?Li Zhen sent more than 20 hooligans to Cao's house to make trouble, how much damage will it cause?It depends on how far the troublemaker intends to make trouble, for how long, whether to hurt people or destroy things.In any case, the loss must exceed one hundred oceans per month, otherwise it will lose its deterrent power.Without knowing how many people from the other party came to make trouble, when and to what extent, Cao Ba spent money to hire more than a dozen soldiers. It should be said that this was a very embarrassing decision.Put yourself in his shoes, hire one or twenty?Hire for a day or a month?How many connections does it take to hire so many soldiers?How much does it cost?Is it worthwhile?

Cao Ba obviously thought it was a good deal, he thought he could frighten Li Zhen and solve the problem once and for all.He even went one step further and used his connections to kidnap Li Zhen.However, Li Zhen also had connections with the government, so he paid Li Zhen out of the door.Li Zhen was unyielding and threatened to beat Cao Ba twice.Cao Ba miscalculated. Cao Ba miscalculated because he only thought of his own losses, but didn't calculate the losses of others.Assuming that if Cao Ba wins, he can save a monthly "agency fee" of 100 yuan. If Li Zhen loses the 100 yuan, he may also lose the agency fees of dozens or even hundreds of households. Cao Ba is about to lose.Besides, even if Cao Ba loses, he only loses a sum of agency fees, and most of the rent is still there. If Li Zhen loses, he will have nothing, so he can only fight with his back.What's more, when he tied up Li Zhen, he let her prestige fall to the ground. In Li Zhen's business, without prestige, there would be no way of life.What Cao Ba was fighting for was just a little money. Li Zhen was not only fighting for money, but also for more money, but also for his future and survival.Is Cao Ba planning to sacrifice his life to save a little "collection fee"?Cao Ba knows himself but does not know the enemy, so he should win one and lose one.

At this time, Cao Ba has three choices: one is to continue to follow the official route and rely on the government to solve the problem, which requires spending money to trust others to fight for relationships.What will happen if they really fight together?Cao Ba’s highest bid to bribe the government is only 100 oceans per month. Li Zhen can not only win Cao Ba’s 100 by buying the government, but also conquer the entire Qiandezhuang. Therefore, his bid must be higher than Cao Ba’s. No chance.The second option is to hire people for self-defense, but the scale and time of employment are difficult to grasp, and it is impossible to prevent, the cost is not small, and the benefit is not high.The third way is to make concessions to Li Zhen and let him take a bite every month.The three roads were damaged, and the three evils had the least power. Cao Ba believed that the loss of making concessions to Li Zhen was the least. Cao Ba is a big house owner, rich and powerful, worthy of confrontation and capable of confrontation.He thought it was worth the compromise, not to mention the other homeowners.Therefore, the collection and management fee of the real estate has become the main income of the security company. What is the nature of this seemingly agency fee income?How is its price determined? Take a closer look at the original words of "Talking about Qiandezhuang in the past", the security company "occupies the sky, dominates the ground, picks cakes on the ground, and plucks the feathers of geese." It implies the parties' understanding of the nature of the money and implicates a long-standing resource allocation method. In the article "The Bastards of Old Tianjin", Mr. Li Ranxi wrote: "A lot of vegetables and fruits are needed in the Chengxiang area of ​​Tianjin, all of which come from the four townships and other counties. Wholesale sales at important locations, free transactions, and no cost. The gangsters in the vicinity came forward to control the market, insisting that all be handed over to them for weighing and reselling to peddlers. After the transaction, commissions were collected from both parties. Of course, there was no When people obey, they will use force to solve the problem, knocking over a few, not afraid that you will not bow your head and obey your ears. This is called "picking cakes on the ground, copying hands and taking servants". The world that has been conquered becomes a rule, and it becomes a rule. The largest The old store in Xitou is a large collection of melons and vegetables. When it was first established, it went through several fierce battles and killed many people before laying the foundation." It can be clearly seen here that "overturning a few" is the key to claiming "commission" and establishing "rules" and "regulations". Physical injury has a price, and any damage has a price. In historical facts, even human life has a price. The price depends on the victim's evaluation of the damage, on how much he actually paid to avoid the harm, and on Victims' willingness and ability to pay.For example, in the case of kidnapping and redeeming tickets, in the early years of the Republic of China, the "ticket" price of a well-off family in North China was about 200 yuan in Yinyang, while the price of a ticket for a wealthy family was tens of thousands, and the difference in the price of a human life was dozens of times. In fact, there is another factor that determines the price of damage, that is, the cost of other ways of avoiding harm. To use economic terms, it is the opportunity cost of the choice of avoiding harm.For example, the families of the victims can ask the police to rescue the hostages, Cao Ba can ask the warlords to clean up Li Zhen, and the vegetable farmers can ask the government to maintain order in the market.It will take time to do so, it will cost money to file a lawsuit, and it will cost more money to ask someone to go through the back door. There may even be a scene where the offending party and the injured party compete to raise prices to buy off the government.At the same time, the victim is at risk of further reprisals, and the efficiency and success rate of the official solution to the problem may not be ideal.People usually estimate the price and attitude of officials after they enter the market according to the standard of unspoken rules. This kind of goods are inferior in quality and high in price, but they are an alternative after all, and can be regarded as price competition for products that avoid harm.The victim will choose the harm avoidance method with the lowest risk and cost, and the price of harm avoidance will be determined accordingly. According to the folk practice in China, the commission of the tooth shop is 3-5% of the transaction value, which is shared between the buyer and the seller.It is obviously cost-effective for vegetable farmers to pay 2-3% of the price of a cart of vegetables to buy a safe, so as not to be "overturned" by others, but it is not so cost-effective to confront and sue.The reason why gangsters are satisfied with 3% and do not pursue 20% or more is because 3% can be called a commission, and it is not illegal for Yazi (agent) to take commission empty-handed, but more than 20% is similar to "buy money", that is a bandit The activity of cutting diameters is likely to lead to resistance from vegetable farmers and government suppression, which is risky and difficult to last. In short, whether it is "fake hands and commissions" or agency fees, from the perspective of the victim, they are all expenses for eliminating disasters and avoiding disasters, and they are all redemption for destructive forces.From the point of view of the infringer, they are all out of nothing, tyrannical infliction, and what they earn is money for destruction.This money is not the remuneration for the factors of production, but the share of the “factors of destruction” participating in the allocation of resources.The remuneration of the land element is called land rent, the remuneration of the capital element is called interest, the remuneration of the labor element is called wages, and what should the remuneration of destroying elements be called?Considering the inevitable connection between violence and bloodshed, and the exchange relationship between life and survival resources, we might as well call it "blood payment". This appellation is consistent with the understanding of the parties involved.In Jianghu slang, money is called "blood", and a lot of money means "blood".Sending money is called "Shang Xue", the bad rule of sending money every day is called "Day Blood", and the bad rule of sending money every month is called "Moon Blood".Bandits in Shandong also called the money obtained from kidnapping "red money", borrowing the color of blood. I've seen other names as well. In the thirty-fourth volume of "Selected Collection of Sichuan Literature and History", the article "Huang Qingyuan, the Emperor of Northern Sichuan", mentioned "mixed wealth".In the early years of the Republic of China, Huang Qingyuan's father chose the path of life for his son, wanting him to be a robe brother, "playing with his head".The father said: "A man can't be rich without money, and a horse can't be fat without night grass." Later, Huang Qingyuan became the muddy water robe brother (bandit), and he really made a lot of money. "Mixed wealth" generally refers to the wealth obtained by breaking the rules of fair trade and arrogantly playing tricks.This statement is a bit interesting, but it is not sharp enough, and it feels a little whitewashed.If you lack the spirit of "playing with your head" and kill people without bloodshed, how can you make a fortune just by being a gangster? In short, it is more appropriate to call the income from destroying the elements "blood reward".What needs to be emphasized is: destructive power is not productivity after all, and blood reward is a secondary thing, and the value of blood reward depends on the positive value that can be damaged. The second bright spot in the story of Li Zhen's fortune, the first step in his fortune, was to instigate Lu Chungui to gamble.Li Zhen colluded with Zhen Lianfa, the local security guard who "has someone in the yamen", and bought Lu Chungui who lived on a pole to be a "meat dumpling", and let him go to the Han's small shop to smash the treasure bureau and slashed Han Xianglin.The father and son of the Han family were lonely, and they lost in the court case, so they left Tanggu in anger.Li Zhen succeeded in "squeezing Han to seize the store". If beating Cao Ba and beating vegetable farmers are likened to carnivores and herbivores, then the story of the gambling game has the nature of wolves eating wolves or blacks eating blacks.The whole process is simple to say, but behind it lies a profound tradition and exquisite calculation of benefits and risks. At the end of the 19th century, Tianjin gangsters had developed a set of perfect rules for fighting for casinos. The article "The Bastards of Old Tianjin" introduced: How to understand the above rules?In the terminology of gangsters, door-to-door calling is called "selling taste", which is a naked transaction of exchanging the pain of flesh and blood for "hanging money".By the way: I don't know the origin of the term "hanging money". "Talking about Qiandezhuang back then" explained when Li Zhen took "dry shares": "It's just a name, and you can enjoy the benefits."It seems that "hanging money" can also be explained in this way: get money by hanging a name. In the "selling flavor" transaction, the calculation of the game is the same as that of Cao Ba and the vegetable farmer's calculation of avoiding harm.When people call at the door, they have to deal with it with something.Gambling is a well-known painless tax. Opening a casino is like opening a tax office. Therefore, gambling is generally a business monopolized by the government, and you have to bribe officials and government servants to operate quietly.In this case, there are very few options on the casino side.Officially seeking help from the government meant suicide.If people continue to make trouble, the casino will not be able to open.People were beaten to death, homicides occurred in broad daylight, and casinos couldn't open.Therefore, paying out "hanging money" to balance the destructive factors has become the best strategy of "taking the lesser of evils". At the same time, we must also pay attention to making the saboteurs "good enough".If the attack is light, people will see that it is easy for the saboteurs to make money, which will lead to more plots.The beating is too severe, the "blood debt" is too heavy, I am afraid that the "hanging money" will have to pay more. From the point of view of the taste seller, the good deeds of the bad guys are also a little forced.Wealthy people would never do it themselves.And people like Lu Chungui, "referring to their careers", rely on all their strength and a pole to live. If no one hires him, the only "factor of production" cannot be sold, and they will enter the "whether you want money or you have life." one" situation.Therefore, exchanging the injuries suffered by the flesh and blood body for the resources needed for the survival of this body becomes a kind of "survive".The same is true of bandit kidnapping.The families of the kidnapped are willing to buy the lives of their relatives with one or two hundred silver dollars, while the kidnappers are willing to take risks for one or two hundred silver dollars.The life of bandits working hard also shows their valuation of their own lives. The core calculation of the life-seller is: How much casualty risk can one take in order to obtain survival resources?Or, to what extent can you damage yourself as a resource demander?To use a more succinct saying of the ancients, it is "Who is the relative of the body and the goods?" Which one is the relative?Then it depends on whose body is the body, the body of others or your own body, the body of a millionaire or the body of starvation and cold, the body also depends on the specific part, whether it is the little finger or the whole head, whether it is the little finger of the pianist or the beggar's. Little finger; what kind of goods should be divided into goods, goods that are icing on the cake or goods that give charcoal in a timely manner, goods that cost a hundred taels of silver or goods that cost ten thousand taels of silver, etc., cannot be generalized.After weighing all the pros and cons, they still hit the door, which shows that the hard worker thinks this is a good deal.Both the saboteur and the casino have found a cost-effective strategy, and the rules about selling food and hanging money have been formed and fixed. I would like to emphasize a few more words.Survival resources are divided into layers. The so-called extraneous things can only be used to refer to money and goods other than the necessities of survival. Those within this boundary are "life-worthy things", which are things that support one's health and life, even lifeblood .From the perspective of those who are dying of hunger and cold, a little food and clothing means life itself, and it is by no means an external thing.This boundary line is a "life-object equivalence line".Breaking through this line, the exchange of life and death can be regarded as an equivalent exchange.The characteristic of human behavior below this line is to pursue the maximization of survival chances.The deeper the breakthrough, the greater the benefits of the exchange.The wider the breakthrough, the more people will die.The existence of a huge Boming group and the existence of the social mechanism that continuously creates this group are the core elements for explaining Chinese history and understanding Chinese society. In fact, just as the commonly used term "sell your life" expresses, the exchange relationship between life and survival resources has long been deeply understood by the public.Humans were familiar with this kind of computing long before they became aware of this relationship, long before they parted ways with monkeys.One of the leaders of the Revolution of 1911, President Li Yuanhong of the Republic of China, made a fashionable summary of this time-honored exchange routine.He said to Feng Yuxiang's soldiers: "What is revolution? It means that those who have worked hard must have food." President Li Da lived in an era when revolution was popular, and he put on the cloak of revolution for his life.However, revolutionaries are generally life-savers, which is not bad.In the animal world, the change of eating order often requires bloodshed, which means that the conversion of survival risk and survival resources has been completed in the animal's mind.This is one of the oldest calculations in the animal kingdom. We have already seen the "hanging money" of the casino, the "agency fee" of the security company, the "commission" of the commission, plus the redemption money and the road money mentioned by the way, the "blood reward" has five manifestations form. There are at least five other forms mentioned in "Talking about Qiandezhuang in the Year": "Dry shares" are shares donated by companies for free. This term is not bad, but it can be more accurate.I saw this sentence in "Peng County Chronicles" in Sichuan: (Uncle Pao Liu Zhiping) "Sit on the teeth and walk the bucket scale, and smoke the hard stocks of the casino."Reading this sentence for the first time is like enlightenment. The concept of "hard stock" is the same as the saying "sell your life", which implies a thorough understanding of this social phenomenon by the creators and users of the words. This is authentic Chinese thought and folk wisdom.This wisdom inspires me immensely.I have also seen some language creations in contemporary folk, such as yellow shares (capital shares), white shares (technical shares), bonus shares (dry shares of real power figures), black shares (shares given to black forces), and "power shares". " and "hero stocks" and so on, but I think these concepts have not reached the depth of "hard stocks".Hard shares are exactly the form of "blood reward" in the joint-stock system.The existence of this kind of thing outlines the conventional scope of China's "factors for success" and contrasts the lack of public security provided by the government.People take this deficiency for granted, develop ways to make up for it, and become a fixed rule. Resource allocation must follow certain rules, and certain rules must be developed.In the scenes we have seen, whether it is overthrowing the vegetable farmers to "copy hands and get commissions" or smashing casinos to "take money" and eat blacks, these rules are all based on tyranny and damage to each other with violence. Based on this, I call it the "horizontal (fourth tone) rule".In Chinese history, horizontal rules have always shouldered the heavy burden of resource allocation, and the resources allocated according to this are the "blood rewards" that are constantly changing, advancing with the times, and adapting measures to local conditions. Blood pay and horizontal rules are not without merit.Thieves dare not steal in Qiandezhuang at will, and bandits do not allow robbers to rob in their own territory. This may not be a blessing for the common people.From the perspective of common people, rogue bandits are not as good as bandits, amateur bandits are not as good as professional bandits, and professional bandits who make short-term profits are not as good as bandit families.He really regards a piece of land as his own property, but he refuses to waste it carelessly.With the extension of the expected rule time, in order to maximize the long-term interests, the wolves should also adjust their relationship with the sheep, cultivate the tax base, determine the optimal slaughter rate, protect the pasture, and maintain the favorable conditions for the survival and reproduction of the sheep. Repel the invasion of other carnivores.In this case, there is indeed a considerable overlap between blood rewards and rewards, plunder and imperial taxation, horizontal rules and righteousness. "Talking about Qiandezhuang in the past" describes the establishment process of the security company: opening the mountain gate, setting up the incense hall, and attracting ruffian lawsuits.It doesn't look like running a company, but like setting up a gang organization.Opening a company with the ceremony of gang opening the mountain gate shows that the person concerned did not take the "company" seriously in his self-awareness.Just like the horse thieves running regiment defense in the east of the Kanto and the bandits running the security regiment in western Hunan, this is just a painting to fool people.To paraphrase the words of the old monk of Waguan Temple in "Water Margin", "these two seem to be monks (company managers), but they are like thieves in the green forest, and they take this monk (running the company) into their bodies." The reason for choosing the company Form, because this form of organization is both popular and legal, so if you pretend to be like this, the rules will appear smoother, and blood rewards will appear relatively peaceful. But then again, the emergence of names such as companies and protection fees also reflects the progress of the times and society.Otherwise, it is called "offering" directly like in the era of "Water Margin", or it is called tribute, tax, payment, and donation. The bosses and local tyrants can directly ask for tribute, collect taxes, distribute payment, and call for donations. It is only right and proper to do justice for the heavens, so why bother to paint it with the paint of equal exchange? The internal relations of the Bohemian organization are also worth mentioning.Whether within the "company" or within the bandits and gangsters, the relationship between life slayers is not equal. On December 10, 1913, Hu Jingyi, the governor of Sichuan Province, wanted to disband the Gelaohui. He specially issued the "Notice of the Governor of Sichuan Civil Affairs Advising the Gelao to Change Jobs", which provoked the internal relationship of the Paoge organization and described the inequality within the Gelaohui. The notice said: Establishing and maintaining horizontal rules requires paying the price of blood, flesh and even life. This price is often paid by the youngest (Hongmen), disciples (Qinggang), minions or youngsters (bandits), and the bulk of the proceeds go to the "uncle" or "Treasurer".In the case where Li Zhen instigated Lu Chungui to smash the casino as a "meat dumpling", Lu Chungui worked hard to win the Han family shop for Li Zhen. occupation and income.He may be satisfied himself, but the value of the two is not equal.Even after deducting the expenses of bribing the government, dealing with lawsuits, and planning operations, there is still something similar to "residual value", which we can call "blood profit" along the lines of "blood reward".Li Zhen's management and pursuit of blood profit has surpassed the level of an individual life-saver, and entered the level of a "blood capital" manager. Capital management is a university question.Operators have to estimate their own risks, deduct the cost of bribing the government and establishing a protective umbrella, cope with the challenges of their peers, compete for the territory of other bosses to achieve a reasonable scale, suppress the resistance of the victims, establish and maintain a set of horizontal rules, Pay your subordinates for their lives, etc., and there must be surplus profits in the end.Compared with ordinary business operations, this process is more complicated and more thrilling.Such a large topic requires a dedicated article. Qiandezhuang has a radius of only two miles and is only a hundred kilometers away from the capital, but it has become a "special zone" with distinctive characteristics. This is not a special case at that time.The local hegemony order, which is very different from the social order stipulated by the government, or the neutral order called the territorial order, can be seen everywhere.The Xiangxi bandits and the Kanto horse bandits mentioned earlier have a bandit world order, Guangdong has the "Datian Er" order, the Central Plains has the "Tuweizi" order, the Shanghai Youth Gang has seriously deformed the local order, and Sichuan Paoge is the same .At a higher level, Tianjin has successively become the territory of different warlords, while the warlord defense zone system in Sichuan has a stronger independence, and each defense zone is similar to an independent kingdom of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period.At a higher level, Shanxi, Guangxi and other provinces have their own very stable order.Looking around, China has large and small territories, large circles and small circles, all of which are layered on top of each other.Every piece of land has a set of rules, there is a local tyrant, or a warlord, or a militia, or a gangster, or a wealthy family, or a Taoist church, or a corrupt official, or a village cadre such as the head of the village, or directly It's bandits.This kind of social form with fully developed territorial order and a dominant social form can be seen in the feudal system that was popular before the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It was a system of enfeoffment and enfeoffment, a system in which many small kings stood on top of a big king.This system also flourished for a while during the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Mao Zedong said that China's "Qin political system will be practiced for a hundred generations", of course it is not bad. This is a pattern in which "true dragons" fly across the sky and all beasts retreat.But "the flying dragon is in the sky", you can't stay up all day long, and don't take vacations all year round.Dragons are also strong and weak, old and young, diligent and lazy.Even if it is a hardworking and powerful dragon, how can a pair of eyes see the well-disguised local snakes all over the world?Reversely corresponding to the control strength of the real dragon emperor, there are as many poisonous snakes and beasts as there are loopholes and dead ends.Therefore, the imperial system must be accompanied by a "semi-feudal" or "small semi-feudal" or "invisible semi-feudal" system, which is reflected in the order of territory or hegemony. ——The more you talk, the more it seems like you are talking big, so stop here.
