Zhao Si's manpower increased as he cleaned up Beicheng.

In less than ten days, the number exceeded 300!

As a result, the ruffians and idlers who used to be everywhere in the North Market suddenly disappeared.

The large number of manpower, in turn, facilitated Zhao Si's progress.

Early April.

Zhao Si led his troops into Dongshi.

In less than five days, all the ruffians entrenched in Dongshi were wiped out!

In fact, when he was still competing with the ruffians in Bei City.

His deeds have spread throughout the circle of local ruffians and idlers in Chen County.

As soon as they heard that he was coming to Dongshi, these local gangsters on the streets of Dongshi didn't dare to knock on the door, let alone being robbed of money when they went out, even if their mother-in-law robbed someone, for fear that this was Zhao Si from Beicheng again.

What a conspiracy!

However, their caution was of no use.

Zhao Si, who had already established a general trend, did not need to use these little tricks with them that were not on the table!

Before he even entered Dongshi, he already knew exactly which ruffians and idlers there were in Dongshi.

After entering the East Market, I took the list and called everyone one by one!

When most of the idle men saw Zhao Si leading a large number of people to the door, they immediately threw away the short blades around their waists and knelt down to beg for mercy.

Occasionally, those who were harsh-mouthed and evil-handed were kidnapped out of the city by Zhao Si and dumped in the Shah River... Their bodies were all gone. Even if someone wanted to sue the officials, they would naturally die without any evidence.

Only a few clever people, after hearing the news that Zhao Si was about to enter Dongshi, took the bucket and ran away in advance to avoid disaster.

Of course, there are also those spikes with really high and hard backgrounds, and Zhao Si will not be able to touch them for a while.

But even if he doesn't take action, these people are not fools!

He, Zhao Si, already has hundreds of idle men under him, why would he jump out to do it with him now?

What's the difference between that and lighting a lantern in a latrine?

Ever since.

Those with no background either died, escaped, or became one of Zhao Si's own people.

Those with backgrounds all stopped and watched Zhao Si's performance...

While Zhao Si was entering Dongcheng, he did not completely let go of Beicheng, which had already settled down.

Instead, under Chen Sheng's remote control, he sent a large number of subordinates to set up rules in Beicheng: Anyone who does business in Beicheng must burn incense from my Zhao Si temple, otherwise, your business in Beicheng will not be able to continue.

!

Of course, the established rule is "all business is done in Beicheng", but in actual operation, Zhao Si's family did not touch any business related to Chen Jun's Land Tiger.

There is no way Chen Sheng would allow him to touch it!

At least you can't touch it now!

This rule is actually a good thing for the traffickers and lackeys living at the bottom of North City!

In the past, they did some small business, got up early and worked hard day and night, and finally made a few copper coins. The small part was given to the tax collector, and the big part fell into the hands of groups of local ruffians who came to take care of them.

You can barely make ends meet!

After Zhao Si established the rules, although the "cleaning fee" they paid every day was quite a lot, it was much better than before. At least after a busy day, they could see copper coins!

And Zhao Si's money is not in vain. After paying the money, if you encounter any trouble in Beicheng, you can go to Zhao Si's people to help solve it.

Even where they do business, people from Zhao Si will help clean it.

Speaking of it, the meaning seems to be the same as before, but when doing business, I feel more at ease, and I feel that my life is going forward!

But this rule is not so friendly to small businessmen who have a stable presence in Beicheng and can barely be considered wealthy.

Although there were many local ruffians and idlers in Beicheng in the past, they were divided into many gangs, with the most numbering only more than twenty people.

Naturally, this kind of climate can't help these small businessmen.

A person with dignity and respect, even if no one in the family cannot fight bravely with these local ruffians, can still spend a small amount of money to ask Beishiting to come forward and control these local ruffians and idlers.

This is what Beishiting does!

Therefore, although there are many ruffians and idlers in Beicheng, these small businessmen do not have to pay.

At most, when you encounter any trouble and need to use these ruffians, reward them with three melons and two dates.

Just like that, those local ruffians in Beicheng used to think that they were looking down on themselves, and they had to brag to their companions about how awesome they were when they got back...

But now, the person who sets the rules has been replaced by Zhao Si, and it is not as easy to get rid of as before.

At first, Zhao Si sent his men to collect cleaning fees from the faces of these small businessmen, but they were unanimously rejected by these people.

Faced with the overwhelming power of Zhao Si, these people even banded together and sent a representative to see Zhao Si and told him not to regard them as those down-and-out households. If they made them angry, you Zhao Si would not even think about it in Beicheng!

After meeting the representatives of these people, Zhao Si went to see Chen Sheng that night and discussed for half a night.

At dawn the next day.

Among the group of small businessmen, the ones that danced the most fiercely, when they opened the door, they saw a dozen or so arrogant men sitting outside.

These men did not have daggers on their waists, but on each of their faces it was clearly written: I am not a good person!

These small businessmen were frightened, and they hurriedly tried their old trick and asked people to take money to the Beishi Pavilion to invite the pavilion servants.

The pavilion servants came in a fierce manner.

However, the idle men are more powerful than them.

What?

Did I break that royal law?

Did I kill his whole family?

Or smashed his shop?

Or am I breaking the law by sitting on the street to rest?

Does the street belong to their family?

The idle men, who had never been so confident in their entire lives, screamed so loudly that even the next street could hear them when they carried Chen Sheng's rhetoric to Zhao Si, who then taught them.

After some wrangling, the pavilion servants really had nothing to do with these idle men, so they could only return to the Beishi Pavilion in despair. Some smart pavilion servants had already thought that they might not be able to make this money in the future...

Only the idle men were left, continuing to sit in front of these small businessmen, chatting, farting, drinking and spitting as if no one else was around.

Whenever a customer comes to these shopkeepers, these idle men will surround them, roll up their sleeves and look at the customers fiercely: What, you look down on me?

Blackmailing merchants is still a crime.

Beating pedestrians is not even a crime!

After spending three days like this.

Finally, a small businessman couldn't bear it anymore and secretly sent the money to Zhao Si.

Maybe it's not that they can't stand it, but that they're smart enough to understand that they can't defeat Zhao Si: they lose money every day, and what Zhao Si provides are just a few dispensable subordinates!

The person who sent the money was very clear-minded. I sent it secretly to solve the problem without offending other small businessmen.

However, when the idlers in front of his door evacuated the next day, other small businessmen all understood...

Who are you looking down on?

Who is still a big fool?

At this point, in the entire North City, except for a few big merchants who were related to the local snakes in Chen County, all the traders paid cleaning fees to Zhao Si.

Zhao Si’s rules are now firmly established!

Before Zhao Si's rules were established, the Chen family's chain of food stalls had begun to bloom all over Beicheng!

The number of noodle stalls has grown from one to ten!

The number of steamed cake stalls has increased from two to twelve!

The number of stewed meat stalls increased from two to twelve!

There are also various signs hanging out, such as bench noodles, coolie noodles, Chen's steamed cakes, Zhao's stew, etc.

And in the four or five days after they bloomed everywhere, they quickly entered the second stage of chain food stalls: 3311!

Each food stall is mainly a noodle stall, supplemented by a steamed cake stall and a stewed meat stall. The three stalls jointly occupy one or two streets with high traffic.

It turns out that there were not many food options on the streets of Beicheng, and most of them were just mobile vendors walking along the streets.

After the Chen family's chain of food stalls was launched, Zhao Si blocked the Chen family from other traders who wanted to join the business after seeing the booming business of the Chen family's food stalls: What? You also want to open a food stall? Sure! Three taels of silver a day.

?What? You can't even sell so much with profit in one day? Then it's none of my business. Ren's bench noodles, coolie noodles, Chen's steamed cakes, Zhao's stew, this is the amount you pay every day.

No, are you considering other businesses? I think there are very few people selling vegetables here in Beicheng. Selling vegetables should be profitable. Do you want to do it?

Of course, the Chen family’s stall also pays a cleaning fee every day.

But if the Chen family knows this kind of thing about the left hand and the right hand, how could it be possible for outsiders to know?

The food stalls expanded very quickly, but apart from giving people the feeling that "Beicheng seems to have become more prosperous after Zhao Si took charge of this area", it did not attract too many people's attention.

Because since Zhao Si started to enforce the rules, it’s not just the food stalls that have been opened fire everywhere, other stalls such as jewelry stalls, embroidery stalls, meat and vegetable stalls, etc. have also increased in number visible to the naked eye.

Chen's more than ten food stalls are mixed in among these extra roadside stalls. They may still be a bit eye-catching, but they no longer have the effect of standing out from the crowd.

Among them, there are the example of the food stall that started the business smoothly after paying the cleaning fee, and the role of Zhao Si in guiding the traders who were attracted by the Chen family's food stall business to other industries.

But the real reason is the subjective initiative of human nature.

Life will always find a way...
