Chapter 238 Chivalry(2/2)
In the eyes of the prostitutes in Pengcheng, Wei Wuya is simply a Bodhisattva who saves the suffering!
Of course, he cannot directly close down the brothels run by others, but he will negotiate with those bosses and redeem the lives of those who want to escape the sea of misery on a fair and voluntary basis. The price is negotiable. Of course, as a gangster brother,
If they come forward to negotiate, what boss would dare not to give face? As long as they find a way out, they will naturally close the brothel. Some old madams have no other way to go. Wei Wuya does not force them, but just asks the old madams to treat their girls well. These girls are lucky
The good ones were redeemed, and the unlucky ones were caught by the madam and refused to let go, but they were spared the pain of serving their flesh with sticks. Because Wei Wuya said, if I hear anyone who beats a woman again, I will chop off the hand of the other!
After properly solving the brothel problem, the casino problem was solved. Regarding the casino, Wei Wuya had no patience and gentleness at all!
Simple and crude.
Not negotiable.
Only two casinos are allowed to exist in the entire Pengcheng, one each in the east and west of the city. Of course, the casino board can only have the surname Wei!
He publicly declared that anyone who dares to open another casino is going against him! He will destroy every one of them!
Who dares to go against the top brother of Pengcheng’s underworld? He has the support of Huangcheng Division! He also has the support of Second Young Master Qi! If you don’t have absolute strength, just listen to him!
Wei Wuya set several rules for the casino:
1. There is no loan sharking allowed in the venue! Whoever lends it will have his finger chopped off! The purpose is to reduce the tragedy of family destruction and death due to high debt. In fact, the effect is immediate!
Second, casino personnel, including all associates under the Wei family, are not allowed to trick or force others to gamble in the casino! Violators will have their hands chopped off! The purpose is to reduce the increase of new gamblers from the source!
Third, no cheaters are allowed in the venue! I am willing to admit defeat! Violators will have their hands chopped off! The purpose is to ensure fairness and justice! Reduce disputes and reduce bloodshed!
Fourth, neither women nor young men are allowed into casinos, and whoever puts them in will have their fingers chopped off! There are many women who have fallen into misery because of gambling! Young men, who may be the pillars of the country, cannot harm children!
5. Gambling of life and death is not allowed in the casino, and the upper limit of gambling funds must be set! Establish a grade system and a quota system. There are twelve halls, one hundred liang hall, one thousand liang hall, and one thousand liang hall. Ten liang halls means that each game cannot exceed ten.
Liang, 10,000 liang per game shall not exceed 10,000 liang! Everyone should act within his or her ability, and only in moderation!
Since then, the gambling industry in Pengcheng has gradually become an entertainment place for ordinary people to gamble and enjoy themselves. There are fewer scenes of spending huge sums of money and great passion, fewer hands and feet, bloody tragedies, fewer stories of wives and children being separated, and families being destroyed! But!
However, Wei's Gambling House has become one of the three most popular "holy places" in Pengcheng! The other two places are Dalong Lake with thousands of people fishing, and Xishan Temple with thousands of people watching Begonia! Among the three holy places, only Wei's Gambling House remains the same all year round.
Popular!
The most amazing thing is that Wei Wuya actually set up a huge merit box in the center of the casino hall. It was made of woven iron wire. Some said it looked like a fish basket, some said it looked like a rabbit cage. In short, it was clear how much money was put in it.
At first, everyone else sneered at Wei Wuya because he was mentally ill. Who would donate money in a casino? If you win money, you have to take advantage of the victory, and if you lose money, you have to take revenge. How can there be any reason to donate?
However, Wei Wuya actually invited the abbot of Xishan Temple in Pengcheng to consecrate the merit box, claiming that donating more money would accumulate more merit and bring more blessings.
As a result, it has become a common practice for wealthy people in Pengcheng to donate money! Whoever wins, donates! If he wins one thousand, he will donate two thousand instead! This is the pie he wants!
The merit box is full every day!
Wei Wuya only used the donated silver to feed hundreds of beggars for half a year every day!
The beggars in Pengcheng are the happiest!
When the time comes every day, go to the designated restaurants to eat! The only requirement for them is to maintain on-site hygiene and not cause trouble to the restaurant owners!
Several restaurant owners go to Mr. Wei's cashier to settle accounts every month! The beggars are happy because they have food to eat every day, and the restaurant owners are also happy, and the restaurants are extremely popular every day!
But later, Boss Wei told the beggars in Pengcheng that everyone has the hands and feet and cannot beg forever. They must learn crafts and learn to support themselves, and cannot just sit and wait to die. Wei Wuya told everyone that he was also a beggar, and there was no shame in being a beggar.
Neither stealing nor robbing, but being a beggar for the rest of your life is really not worth it. Let’s meet a few years later, on the snowy streets, braving the biting cold wind, walking with shaky steps, whose door will be opened when you knock?
If you eat and wait to die, you will starve to death sooner or later!
Those who are physically disabled can go to the porcelain kiln to do whatever they can to pull porcelain blanks, and those who are healthy can go to the dock to work as coolies, go to the escort agency to escort cars, work as waiters in restaurants, and even go to Wei's caravan to sell private goods with others!
Just don’t allow idle, lazy people to wander on the streets of Pengcheng!
Therefore, there are fewer and fewer beggars and brothel girls in Pengcheng. They are successively absorbed by Boss Wei's porcelain kiln and other industries.
The current public security in Pengcheng is such that no one picks up leftovers on the road, and the house is not closed at night. The Pengcheng prefect will go to Wei's house every now and then to have a drink with Mr. Wei. The previous prefect was implicated by Qi Changfa and imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Justice. The current prefect did not dare to take over this position. Now he secretly
Be happy. Your promotion is just around the corner!
No one could have imagined that Pengcheng would be where it is today.
Everyone is thinking, when brothels and casinos are constantly being closed, how can those brothers on the road who have no source of money to live honestly let others take advantage of them and give up? But in fact, no one thought that General Wei
These people have arranged everything well!
Although brothels and gambling houses have decreased, other businesses have continued to expand!
In addition to the textile and porcelain industries, everyone in Pengcheng knew that Boss Wei was smuggling sea salt, tea, copper ore and other private goods!
But no one discussed this matter. The various stores of various sizes opened by the Wei family in Pengcheng sold goods at reasonable prices and of high quality. The people all hoped that Mr. Wei would live a long life and the business would be prosperous.
In the minds of the people in Pengzhou, the evaluation is just four words, thieves are also good!
Everyone knows that he is engaged in underworld business, but the people of Pengcheng encourage their children to join Mr. Wei. This is absolutely a miracle.
There is a popular saying in Pengcheng:
You should learn from Mr. Wei!
When you marry, you should marry Wei Wuya!
Boss Wei is simply the super idol of Pengcheng people!
So when Mr. Qiu heard that Boss Wei was actually Feng Jiuxiao's brother, his heart suddenly went up and down! A young man managed Pengcheng like this, which shows that he himself is powerful, and the person behind him is even more powerful! The person behind him, now
He is also the person behind him!
Pengcheng provided him with an excellent example!
If the top brother of the Pengcheng underworld can clear his name, so can the Qiu family of Guangzhou!
The scale of silk weaving in Guangzhou is even larger than that in Pengcheng. Guangzhou even has advantages that Pengcheng does not have. Guangzhou has porcelain mines!
Looking at the people queuing up to receive the money, with their simple faces, eyes full of expectation, and excitement after receiving the money, Qiu Yingwu was infected by their reality.
At that moment, he felt his eyes were a little moist.
He suddenly thought of the four words Feng Jiuxiao said, chivalrous!
Chapter completed!
