When the sun had not risen in the morning and there was only white fish in the east, Lao Chen's breakfast stall in Yangzhou City opened.

He and his father escaped from a place in Huaibei. After working hard for thirty years, they finally had their own shop.

Lao Chen sells beef soup. A bowl of beef soup with 20-money and two steamed buns can make people full. If you add more money, you can change it to beef soup.

The business is very good today, and Boss Chen is in a good mood.

"Old Chen, why do I feel that during this period, the amount of beef soup has increased, right?"

A regular customer asked like this.

"The beef has been cheap lately, so of course I have to add a little more to make everyone eat well, right?"

The braised chicken shop in the neighbor's neighbor of Boss Chen has opened, and there are several new stores on this street, which puts a little more pressure on Old Chen. In addition, the beef offal is cheaper, so he also added two more pieces of raw materials.

The business is much better than before. After taking two orders, Boss Chen brought a plate of cut beef and a plate of beef offal to the private room behind where several men in high-end decorations were enjoying the food.

"Several officials, please use it slowly."

Smiling and putting down the beef, Boss Chen tried hard to make himself smile brighter.

These people are the Dragon Scale Guards under Gao Dashuai. They have been to the Niu Zai Restaurant several times. After eating, they rarely pay. Even if they pay, they don’t pay much. Of course, Boss Chen never asks them for money on his own initiative, let alone say anything.

Now these people have transformed into General Shen’s subordinates.

Boss Chen is still very grateful to Boss Shen. When Yangzhou City was besieged, Boss Chen immediately told his family not to go out. The girl's face was painted black, and even asked her wife to tell her daughters that if something happened, she would never resist and fight, etc.

He fled from Huaibei, had seen the chaos of war and knew that at this time, he could survive. Then, General Shen entered the city...

"Boss, check out."

A shout interrupted Boss Chen's memory, and the men came to the counter.

"Several masters, don't charge money, don't charge money... Just eat happily."

Boss Chen said this immediately, and the man showed an awkward look on his face. Another man not far away patted his shoulder, smiled and took out a piece of silver and put it in front of the counter.

"Boss, settle the accounts as it is. Don't make it difficult for us to do it. We are General Shen's people now and will not eat the King's meal."

Boss Chen quickly apologized, saying that he despised several old men, quickly settled the accounts, and after repeatedly shirked them, he accepted the money.

Several officials left, and the waiter was his son, looking at the people who had left strangely.

"I didn't expect... I'd give you money if you don't have fat?"

Gao Bu Pang is the man just now. His son didn't know this person before, so he was stared at him when he asked him for money. Fortunately, the other party just showed his waist card and did not take action. Afterwards, the neighbors praised Gao Bu Pang as a decent person and did not bully the children.

"Thanks to General Shen."

Boss Chen sighed slightly. Actually, he didn't hate the man Gao Bufa. How could he say that although he had a vain meal, it was not too much. Moreover, he only came a few times a year, which was much better than those gangsters.

The neighbor's braised chicken shop was entangled by a gangster gang and his wife and children were separated.

Although there has been no chaos in Yangzhou City over the years, it is not easy to do business. Over the past year, most of the store's income has been paid for protection fees, taxes and other a lot of money, plus the Bawang Meal, etc., so you can't make much money.

As for suing the official?

Haha, the government and those local gangs are in the same group, and behind each group is a Gao family or someone else.

The result of your suing official is to seek death. You have no idea who is behind those people, let alone how cruel they will be.

For example, during festivals, Mrs. Gao will distribute candy food and other things in the city, but these people even have to take back steamed buns. In the end, Mrs. Gao was angry and could only ask the person who received the goods to eat them on the spot.

This is the real Yangzhou City. From top to bottom, the people below can only barely live.

Fortunately, after General Shen came, the situation changed.

While General Chen settled down on the people's livelihood, he cleaned up the gangsters in Yangzhou City, especially the gangsters on the streets, those who collected protection fees, those who engaged in gambling loan sharks, etc. These people were quickly cleaned up.

Although these people looked for ways with gold and silver, saying that if Yangzhou City leaves, they will be in chaos and they will definitely support General Chen, but they are still greeted by butchers' knife.

The compassionate General Chen has no slight pity for these people.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, work hard."

Boss Chen said this, but his eyes stared at a notice posted at the intersection of the street.

"Those who bully the market will be servile.

Rape the plunderers, behead them.

Those who are provoking trouble will be punished.

…”

This notice shows General Chen’s determination with the most straightforward air and does not keep his word.

Those who bully the market and provoke trouble are not hard labor or robbery, but beheading their heads.

The person who controls this neighborhood is a man named Dong's family. First, the eldest son was cut off his head because of his many evil deeds in the past, and then the second son, who brought the eldest son's filial piety to continue to collect protection fees. He told everyone that he would not pay the protection fees now, but the sanitation fees. This is for the good of neighbors. If anyone does not give him face and dares to sue the official, he will definitely not let it go... Then someone really sued the official, General Chen also showed his untrue and unreasonable nature, and cut off his head at the street corner again, including his father and mother and other brothers and sisters.

It's the second time, so don't blame General Chen for being implicated. Since they have all enjoyed wealth and prosperity, and since they are fighting and going out together, let's go down together and reunite together.

The steel knife killed people, and the result of the massacre was that there were no gangsters wandering around in this street.

"In this way, would you let Xiaorong come out and be a mate?"

Boss Chen thought of this that Xiaorong was his five daughter. After he was twelve years old, he would not let her do anything outside. After all, the example of the neighbor is right in front of it. The owner of the braised chicken shop is the owner of the shop. The daughter of the boss of the Dong family was attracted by the boss and caused a wife to be separated.

But now... with the rules like General Chen, even Gao Bupang, who never gives money to eat, takes the initiative to give money, so...

I made three times more money this month. If my daughter comes out to do things, would she make more money?

...

Streets of Yangzhou City.

"Hao or not, you actually paid for your food!"

I walked on the street with my friends, and the jokes made Gao Bufeng's face a little painful.

"Don't joke, just give the money now."

Another partner said this.

"Yes...just give the money now."

Everyone sighed slightly.

After following General Chen, everyone is different from before.

When I was under Gao Dashuai, I had a lot of delicious food, wine, and beauties, but the money I gave was only enough to spend. It was okay to support a wife and a few children, but no matter how much, it would not be enough to spend.

These are the dosages commonly used by the governors.

Food, good wine and beauties feed everyone, and at the same time, they will not let soldiers pay high wages and save enough money. If they have enough money, who is willing to live and die?

If you want to make money, either make military achievements, or kill enemies and loot, they force the soldiers of the Dragon Scale Guard to fight and make money, but few can survive until they are 40 or 50 years old, and save enough money to retire.

Gao Bupang has two wives, several children, and brothers and sisters. He is very tight. He usually encounters social engagements with colleagues, which means taking his colleagues to eat for free. More advanced restaurants are not good. Those behind the scenes can only bully some miserable store owners.

Is this OK?

Maybe some people enjoy it, but most of them know that this is not good.

But... without money, who can be a good person?

It was not until everyone became General Chen’s subordinates that they had the opportunity to be a good person.

Or, being forced to be a good person.

"Dear brothers, I'll tell you the truth today.

I hope everyone is different from before, working hard and working diligently, not bullying the people, and abide by military discipline.

Of course, just talking about ideals and not reality is a hooligan.

Your salary has doubled. Of course, the money is still not enough. If you move a little every month, you will have some favors and don’t spend enough money.

But this is the highest salary I can give you. No matter how high it is, it won’t work. There will be no way to lead the team in the future. However, there is a limit on salary, but there is no allowance.

The allowance of five times your salary is simply equal to ten times your previous monthly income, but it will not rise completely with the increase in salary, so I can't afford it..."

Gao Bupang recalled Chen Yu's words and remembered the scene at that time.

“I like to make things clear in advance, and I hope you can understand.

After this, the military discipline is here, don’t interfere in messy things, don’t interfere in industries such as gambling and flower shops. If you have a legitimate business, I will give you some money as a gift and you can retire.

Everyone, we are all decent people, why bother to make things difficult for those hardships haha?

If you can solve things with money, don’t make it difficult for me to do. If you have any obstacles that cannot be overcome, you can find me privately. I have money here and have any ideas to tell me, I have money, but don’t make it difficult for me to do. Cut off my brothers’ heads, do you understand?”

General Chen said it very clearly and everyone listened carefully.

With salary plus allowance, a person can earn thousands of taels of silver a year. This is not a mess of clothes, armor, food, etc. When encountering difficult problems, General Chen will help him. If he dies in battle, the pension will be high, and the children and wife will be settled.

If you still do this kind of treatment, would you be embarrassed?

Everyone has faces.

General Chen called Chang Xingye and others to the stage and told his own story.

The maid who made a covenant with Chang Xingye was killed by Gao Dashuo just because she overturned a cup of tea.
To be continued...
