Xiao Yao and Huang Xiaoshi clapped their hands to decide on the loan. In fact, he was a bit overstepping his authority. After all, this was a big matter of one thousand taels of silver, and Xiao Yao couldn't make the decision.
Yes, Xiao Yao could indeed come to Huang Xiaoshi to borrow money, but from a procedural point of view, after Huang Xiaoshi agreed to borrow money, the final decision on whether to borrow money or not would have to be made by Ke Jianglong.
It's just that when Xiao Yao got excited, he decided on the matter immediately.
Xiao Yao's character is very similar to Ke Jianglong's. It has nothing to do with how many books he has read. People with an impatient temper are impatient. It can also be said that they are warm-hearted, but when they do things, on the one hand, they are easy to make mistakes.
On the other hand, it is easy for others to take advantage of you.
In other words, although Xiao Yao was instructed by Ke Jianglong, and although Ke Jianglong was sitting next to him, do you, Xiao Yao, have the power to decide on matters involving thousands of taels of silver?
Of course, Xiao Yao was not hiding anything from Ke Jianglong. After he high-fived Huang Xiaoshi, he turned around and came to Ke Jianglong and told Ke Jianglong about successfully borrowing a thousand taels of silver.
It sounds like it's a matter of taking the lead and taking the back, but in a big way, it's called ignorance of the rules, it's called cutting first and then showing off, it's called overstepping, it's called committing a crime.
If the people below are doing this, then why do they use the Beggar Clan leader? What do they do with the Beggar Clan elders? What do they do with the Beggar Clan leader and helmsman? What do they do with the Beggar Clan? Why don’t we break up together?
Forget it.
Some people may think that if this is just a matter of one sentence, why should it be so detailed? Ke Jianglong didn't even care.
Indeed, this is not a big deal at all. Normally, Xiao Yao would be fine with a verbal reprimand at most, but at a time when the internal conflicts within the Beggar Clan are becoming more and more prominent, this kind of carelessness is called giving someone a thumbs up.
Fortunately, the person Xiao Yao came into contact with today was Huang Xiaoshi, and fortunately there was no fourth person around.
If other elders find out about this, not only Xiao Yao will be punished, but his master Ke Jianglong will also be jointly and severally held responsible.
The key point here is that although Ke Jianglong is now the leader of the Beggar Clan and has the right to control the money and food of the Beggar Clan, the person who is actually in charge of the money and food affairs is not him, but another group of people.
The Beggar Gang is currently facing a huge internal crisis, which is the problem of the two factions, the Dirty Clothes and the Clean Clothes factions, which have become more and more contradictory over the past hundred years.
…
The Beggar Gang was not like this when it was first founded, but gradually it was divided into two factions: the Dirty Clothes Sect and the Pure Clothes Sect.
The Dirty Clothes Sect are real beggars who make a living by begging. They have no money and no balance. All the members at the bottom of the Beggar Gang are the Dirty Clothes Sect. The members of the Pure Clothes Sect are mostly heroes in the world. They admire the behavior of the Beggar Gang or
He became a member of the Beggar Clan by joining the Beggar Clan through good friendships, plus some beggar heads and second- or third-generation disciples. Although they were small in number, they occupied the middle and upper levels of the Beggar Clan.
For example, Ke Jianglong had six elders, the Dirty Yi sect had only one elder, and the Pure Yi sect ranked fifth among them.
Li Hao is also from the Pure Clothes Sect. Even though his usual clothes are similar to those of lower-level disciples, many people mistakenly think that he is from the Dirty Clothes Sect.
Li Hao is a true Jingyi sect.
It's just that Li Hao is closer to the disciples of the Beggar Clan than other Pure Clothes Sect, so his clothes and appearance look a little sloppy, but Li Hao has never begged on the street, and he has his own financial resources.
When Xiao Yao first joined the Beggar Clan, Li Hao was very optimistic about him. After all, this kid was fair and fair, could read, and had read poetry and books, but he was a great talent among the Beggar Clan.
It was only Xiao Yao who insisted on following Ke Jianglong that he became the Dirty Clothes Sect.
Although Li Hao was deeply trusted by Ke Jianglong, he and Ke Jianglong had factional differences, so when Ke Jianglong came to Luoyang this time, he only called Xiao Yao in the name of master and disciple.
It can also be seen that even Ke Jianglong has no way to bridge the differences between the two factions in the Beggar Clan, because this matter is actually unsolvable.
Let’s talk about the simplest thing first. The Beggar Gang is a martial arts sect. It’s not just about begging. It requires a certain amount of force.
There is a saying among the people: "The rich don't teach, the poor don't practice martial arts."
Rich people don’t teach because teaching is very laborious.
If you have money, you might as well just immerse yourself in studying and pursue fame. One day, if you take the exam, even if you win the exam, it will make you more money than if you teach for ten lifetimes.
Besides, if I have money, why should I accept that nonsense?
The reason why people should not practice martial arts is because practicing martial arts consumes a lot of people's energy and time, but there will be no economic benefits in a short period of time.
How can a person practice martial arts if he stops moving and stops eating, let alone whether his nutrition can keep up, or if he has nothing to eat when he practices martial arts?
Compared with other sects, people in the Beggar Clan have an extremely serious survival problem.
Those disciples of the dirty clothes sect, people starve to death every day, people die of illness every day, and people freeze to death every winter night. When you tell them about martial arts, when they listen to it, they feel like you are speaking in alien language.
Same.
Only the people of the Jingyi Sect have financial resources and don't have to worry about spending money on food and drink. Especially those second-generation disciples, who have been eating and drinking well since childhood and growing up strong, have the energy and time to practice martial arts.
Therefore, most of the middle and high-level members of the Beggar Clan, as long as they are involved in those positions that require force, are from the Jingyi Sect. At the level of elders and gang leaders, force alone is not enough. Even if you are illiterate, you must also have a brain.
Not to mention those from the Dirty Clothes Sect.
This is just one of the reasons why the Jingyi Sect has a small number of people and a large power.
Secondly, the martial arts people who admire the Beggar Clan and join it only account for a very small part of the total number of Beggar Clan. The vast majority of the Pure Clothes Sect were born from the Dirty Clothes Sect.
There are two aspects to this.
The first is a beggar from the Dirty Clothes Sect. Whether you tell him to struggle or call him a bully, domineering and eating human blood, once he becomes a beggar, he will naturally become a Pure Clothes Sect.
Secondly, even if someone has worked hard and reached the top of the Beggar Clan, they are still members of the Dirty Clothes Sect, such as Xiao Yao.
When Xiao Yao gets older, he will definitely find a beggar woman to marry. When Xiao Yao has a family and children, he becomes the leader of the beggar gang.
At this time, could Xiao Yao have the heart to let his children go begging on the street since they were young, asking for leftover soup and cold rice to eat back?
When I went to beg for food, I had no choice but to do so. Who would want their children to be born as beggars?
Therefore, the descendants of the middle and high-ranking people in the Beggar Clan will naturally be members of the Jingyi Sect, unless all of them imitate Ke Jianglong and never marry or have children in this life.
Therefore, although all the bottom members of the Beggar Clan are the Dirty Clothes Sect, numbering in the millions, and the Pure Clothes Sect only accounts for a very small part of the Beggar Clan, the Pure Clothes Sect has financial resources, martial arts, brains, and reputation.
(Bring it to the family), then the power is not getting bigger and bigger.
Speaking at the moment, although Ke Jianglong's personal prestige is very high, he belongs to a minority among the top management.
The Beggar Clan does have a lot of money and food, which are all donated as relief money, and are usually looked after by the elders of the Jingyi Sect.
Therefore, Ke Jianglong doesn't like to trouble others. Anyway, I am just a beggar. I will beg for food until I am old, and I am not used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas. If someone specially invites Ke Jianglong to a banquet, he will feel that the food is not delicious.
After Ke Jianglong became the leader of the gang, he never cared about the money matters of the Beggar Gang and let them do what they did according to their own conscience.
Fortunately, with the support of Ke Jianglong, a man who refused to take either soft or hard approach, the Jingyi Sect did its job properly and never withheld the relief that was due.
But Ke Jianglong also knew that if one day he abdicated and Li Hao took office, no one could say what the Beggar Clan would become.
Because the lives, interests, and philosophies of the two gangs, the Pure Clothes Sect and the Dirty Clothes Sect, are completely different. One day, the Beggar Gang will be divided into two groups because of the issue between the Dirty Clothes Sect and the Pure Clothes Sect.
Layer separation.
When the time comes, only the devil knows what the Beggar Gang will become.
…
Small sects have the troubles of small sects, and large sects have the troubles of large sects. Changing from a small sect to a large sect has its own troubles.
The words about the wheel being like a cart are not just a joke, but actually refer to something.
As far as the six major sects of the Central Plains are concerned, every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and everyone has a river to cross.
Let’s talk about Xiaoyao Valley first.
The low population is one reason, and the tradition of division is another.
The former caused the Tianshan Xiaoyao Sect to disappear immediately and disappear into the long river of history. The latter was far away. Xuan Mingzi spent the whole day thinking about how to take revenge on Wuxiazi.
Wudang Sect, Huashan Sect, and Tianshan Sect all have no successors. The heads of the three families are all female.
The good thing about the Wu-Dang Clan is that compared to the original version, this version of Fang Yunhua is as if he has been enlightened by the Sanqing. The biggest crisis of the Wu-Dang Clan has been solved invisibly.
Cao Ehua, the daughter of Cao Dai, the leader of Huashan Sect, is about to get married to Gu Yuexuan. Gu Yuexuan is already the leader of Xiaoyao Valley. Although he can also be the leader of Huashan Sect, it is still not good to hold multiple positions.
If Cao Dai passes on the Huashan Sect to his disciples, then the Huashan Sect will no longer have the surname Cao. If he goes under Jiuquan in the future, how will he face the ancestors of the Cao family?
The Tianshan Sect was originally worried about the leader of the Huashan Sect, but suddenly they heard the news that people from the Tianlong Sect had gone to Tianshan to kill them.
This news was like a blow to the head, knocking He Weifeng unconscious. He left his wife and children behind and led his disciples back to Tianshan Mountain.
But it was too late, the Tianshan Sect had nothing left.
He Weifeng led his disciples to collect the corpses and pile them in the Tianshan Sect's main hall. Then he set fire to the dilapidated main hall and gave a decent cremation to those disciples who died while defending the Tianshan Sect.
Looking at the burning hall and the Tianshan Sect that had been looted, He Weifeng no longer knew what to do next.
Then there is Shaolin.
Shaolin has no successors, otherwise it would not be possible to divide the work of one abbot between two people.
Relatively speaking, the Beggar Clan is already considered happy.
At first glance, it seems that the whole gang shares the same hatred and brothers. If you look closely, you can see that Ke Jianglong, Li Hao, Xiao Yao, old, middle and young people are all present. It couldn't be better.
Of course, the dispute between the two factions of the Beggar Clan is indeed a headache, but this problem is not new to today. The conflict between the two factions has surfaced a hundred years ago, and to this day, the Beggar Clan is not in a good situation.
Even if something goes wrong, it will happen after who knows how many years.
Besides, the reason why the two factions of the Beggar Clan have been fighting for so many years without breaking up is because there are not only conflicts of interest between the two factions, but also huge complementary interests and interdependence.
People from the Dirty Clothes Sect need people from the Pure Clothes Sect to help them stand up.
Whether it's grabbing territory or being beaten, when you need people, the people from the Jingyi Sect have never said it's none of my business, so they just kill them without saying a word, taking hundreds or eight beggars with them.
Already.
In the Battle of Hangzhou, Li Hao of the Jingyi Sect was not fighting to the death on the front line. If Huang Xiaoshi hadn't been there that day, Li Hao might have gone from fighting to the death to dying in battle.
People from the Pure Clothes Sect also need people from the Dirty Clothes Sect to help them gain momentum.
If a second-level warrior is thrown into the world of martial arts, he will probably be worthless, so he can catch a lot of them.
But when you are in the Beggar Clan, you may be the leader or sub-ruler, so the weight of your words will be different.
Let's just talk about Li Hao. In terms of martial arts, even if he is supported by the dog-beating stick method, it is really difficult, but he is now the second person in the beggar gang, and I ask you whether you are good or not.
Some people may say that just because you have face but no strength, you are not being bullied.
You can't say that. The Beggar Clan is one of the six major sects after all. As long as you don't meet a fifth-level master, you will be eaten to death by ants and elephants.
If a fifth-level master comes to look for trouble in the Beggar Clan, the rest of the six major sects will take action together.
Although Wuxiazi, the fixed star among the six major sects, has suddenly aged greatly in the past two years, the six major sects in the Central Plains now have a total of four fifth-level masters (Wuxiazi, Fang Yunhua, Shang Jingzhong, and Dongfang Weiming).
Even after the Dragon King broke his fingers, he had to retreat. Xuan Mingzi even lamented that it was destiny that brought him to the Tianshan Mountains and he was not beaten to death.
Shang Jingzhong no longer suppressed his cultivation, that is, after he only released the stealth mode, the coercion he exuded made everyone unable to look directly at him.
Staring at the sun with angry eyes will make you blind.
No one knows how high Shang Jingzhong’s cultivation level is, not even Huang Xiaoshi. But after everyone discovered that Shang Jingzhong turned out to be the successor of [Nine Yang Divine Art], they were not surprised at first, but everyone was amazed: "
Wong Tai Sin’s hexagrams are so accurate!”
…
The money was finally borrowed. When Xiao Yao found Ke Jianglong, he saw him struggling to bite an overnight hard bun, which he had just begged for.
"Master, you are eating steamed buns..."
Before Xiao Yao finished speaking to Ke Jianglong, Ke Jianglong finally bit the bun into pieces. He opened his mouth full of rotten teeth and smiled at Xiao Yao and said: "Hey, this is what I asked for.
, if you want to eat steamed buns, go there by yourself."
When Xiao Yao saw this, he quickly ran to Shennong Baicao Gate and asked someone for a bowl of water.
Seeing Xiao Yao like that (dirty and smelly), the disciple gave him all the bowls and didn't want any more.
After drinking a few sips of water, Ke Jianglong finally swallowed the dry bun in his mouth.
Xiao Yao looked at Ke Jianglong and felt sour in his heart.
Master is a frugal person and never wants to spend an extra penny from the gang. Suddenly he borrowed thousands of taels of silver. With Master's prestige, he can definitely solve the problem.
However, the trouble is that no one can explain the reason for this matter, so after Master spends the money, he will inevitably be restricted by the accounting elders.
He is dedicated to serving his country, running around regardless of fatigue, risking his life, or even caring about the unexplainable stain on his reputation.
However, what has this country done for him?
In recent years, the beggar gang has grown larger and larger, and there are more and more disciples of the beggar gang. However, speaking to the world, when everyone in the world has become beggars, who will they go to beg for food?
Xiao Yao hated the emperor more and more in his heart. First there must be a foolish emperor, and then there will be sycophants.
Chen Chongying has been in power for so many years. If the emperor was really a wise king, he should have eradicated him when he came to the throne instead of waiting for Chen Chongying to become bigger and bigger again.
Ke Jianglong and Xiao Yao, masters and disciples, are connected heart to heart and love each other as father and son. However, due to differences in ideas, they end up becoming enemies of life and death.
