Although Zheng Shuanzhu's father is very quick-witted, to be thoughtful, he has to be Xu Mangzhong's mother.

The man rushed towards the old woman, pulled off her belt and tied her up.

Xiaobao watched coldly from the side, feeling that those men's lives were really in vain: Don't you know how to unbuckle those guys' belts? Do you have to pull your pants with one hand and tie them up with the other? You can do it!

Xiaobao's legs were sore from standing - he was almost cramping when he stood with his legs bent under his robe.

In order to separate the images of "Qian Sanshun" and "Chu Dong", Xiaobao also worked hard enough.

It is necessary to distinguish two personalities and behaviors, and to create a height gap to make the age difference look several years. Xiaobao feels that he is going crazy.

In other words, Chu Qing was not here, otherwise they would have said that he had a "dual personality" or something.

Besides, I ran a lot today and couldn’t stand any longer, so Xiaobao waved his hand and said, “Watch it! I need to take a rest!” and left.

Anyway, someone from the board of directors has taken over, so the matter ends here and is ignored.

Xiaobao is very tired these days and needs to take a good rest.

I'm tired because the leader of the Salt Gang, Jia Yanyao, went to the Sanshun Escort Agency.

I didn't see Xiaobao the first time I went there. Xiaobao was in Songjiang Mansion, so after getting the letter, Xiaobao went back to see Jia Yanyao.

After Jia Yanyao met Xiaobao at the ferry last time, he couldn't forget it when he went back.

Although the background of this "Qian Sanshun" has not been found out, the mystery of this child has become more and more prominent.

These are all secondary, the most important thing is to value the resources in Xiaobao's hands - refined salt and connections.

If the Salt Gang wants to clear its name, it must have connections from above and below, and it must have legitimate channels to sell salt. Otherwise, when disaster strikes, the gang will be in turmoil.

It is now.

In normal times, things were fine. With him as the leader of the gang, he entertained some small officials from time to time, so the Salt Gang didn't have many troubles.

But in the year of disaster, these corrupt officials also want to make money. Where do they make money? Fines.

The salt gang's private salt cannot be sold - the people have no money to eat food, so where can they still have money to buy salt?

If you can't sell it, there will be no income. If you don't have income, you will have to rely on "side jobs" to increase income, rob passing merchants, become a bandit and a road bully, etc.

Therefore, the officials strictly investigate and beat you to death. If you want to help the public avoid losses, then pay the fine, which is much heavier than usual.

Right now, the common people are having a hard time, and so are the Salt Gang.

Now that he has met "Qian Sanshun", Jia Yanyao is not going to miss this opportunity.

This kid may have many useful connections. If you get along with him, you may be able to benefit from each other.

I went to Xiaobao with this idea in mind, but ended up in vain.

But it was not all in vain, because he saw that Xiaobao actually exchanged so much food and victims for locusts!

This is thought-provoking.

Not only is this guy rich, he also seems to have a kind heart!

This conclusion was overturned an hour later, because he saw that the escort agency sent people to transport baskets of locusts to the dock, saying that there was the "office" of the Sanshun Escort Agency there, which not only handled "freight", but also sold food on behalf of others.

These novel vocabulary are not difficult to understand, but Jia Yanyao also wanted to see what was going on.

When I went to the pier, I saw, wow! There are seven cabins in a row on one side of the pier.

Here, services such as consignment registration, inn reservations, cash exchange, travel consultation, travel supplies and handicrafts, and wholesale and retail of earthenware are all available.

Among the two largest rooms, one is used for merchandise sales, and the other is used as a "waiting room". The "waiting room" provides tea and snacks with a wide variety and affordable prices.

Above the lintel of the middle door of this row of flat-roofed cabins is a plaque reading "Sanshun Escort Bureau Office".

There are also similar cabins being built next to it. When I asked over there, they were told how many ready-to-wear stores were going to be built.

Let's put it this way, if you go on a long journey, as long as you have money with you, you don't need to prepare anything else. You can buy everything here.

This wharf is located in Guandu. Xiaobao rented such a large piece of land to do this, which shows that this guy has a lot of money.

The key is that all the services of the "Sanshun Escort Office" are concentrated, and the charges are the same as those in Guandu. While providing thoughtful and convenient services to passing passengers, they also make a lot of money.

Guandu has a larger passenger flow than buying a ferry or a private ferry, and most of them are big businessmen. They are more willing to spend more money to save time and effort, so this "office" is really a business to make quick money.

Of course, they also share many livelihoods in Guandu.

However, there is nothing to say in Guandu, because the local office also carried out a "locust-for-food" operation on the spot.

They guarded the ferry, bought grain nearby, and then exchanged it for the people. They had a high reputation and won the hearts of the people. Guandu did not dare to order them to be driven away.

They can't drive them away either. They rent land for less than a penny, and Guandu also gets cheap food.

Jia Yanyao wanted to see "Qian Sanshun" even more.

He owns two shopping malls, but he can't afford such a business.

First, to maintain Maipudu, you have to spend a lot of money to maintain contacts with those petty corrupt officials. Second, there are 6,000 gangs, except for military advisors, there is no educated person, and it is difficult to calculate the accounts.

Also, the contract period for the ferry is coming soon. Do you want to continue the contract?

If you don’t continue, your business will be gone; if you continue, you won’t make much money and you’ll have to reinvest more money.

If your own shopping experience can be combined with Qian Sanshun's "office"... then it's worth continuing.

Jia Yanyao used to think about mutual benefit, but now he is a little unsure because he feels that his financial resources may not be as good as Xiaobao.

He just came here a few months ago, and he already opened such a large stall and even opened a branch in Kyoto. The tens of thousands of taels of silver he saved from the salt gang are probably not as much as others' fractions, right?

Is it really okay for a kid’s family to be so rich?

Following the locusts all the way here actually made Jia Yanyao feel sour and envious.

Fortunately, "Qian Sanshun" came back after a few days, and Jia Yanyao immediately readjusted his mentality, hoping to achieve "cooperation" with Xiaobao.

What a pity...

"How much did you spend on the ferry? Can you pass the ferry to me?" Xiaobao interrupted him to describe the future prospects of combining the ferry with the office, and said: "I will pay you 10% more."

Jia Yanyao: "..."

Is this what it means to be willful with money?

Jia Yanyao felt that the child had been beaten lightly by Jianghu, but he was too crazy.

Jia Yanyao: "Sanlang, what I mean is that I want to cooperate with you. The land at my ferry can be rented..."

"Uncle Jia," Xiaobao waved his hand and was about to speak. Xiao Sining, who was escorting him back this time, suddenly walked out of the door. Xiaobao saw that his shoulders were shaking slightly.

Xiao Sining is also very helpless. Ever since he joined the "Truman", he has been assimilated by Chu Yuan and the others: the previous "fake gang leader" made people unable to hold back their joy, and now he has become the "fake uncle" again!

Xiao Baoquan pretended not to see it.

These guys get sick whenever they are given such an irrelevant title!

"Uncle Jia," Xiaobao continued his previous train of thought: "I'm not very good at talking, so I might be a little more direct. Don't take it off. What I mean is that the ferry is being run very badly by you... Why don't you transfer it to me!"

Jia Yanyao shut his mouth.
