Although the county in the late Qing Dynasty belongs to the sparrows small, the five internal organs are all, it is a reduced version of the micro -central government.

In addition to the deputy of Zhixian, county, the master book, the county captain, and the officials, there are each genus, which are divided into six rooms: officials, households, rituals, soldiers, prison, workers, and the court of the court.

It belongs to the daily service agency of the entire county.

Hepo belongs to the branch of the workshop and is responsible for the management of river lakes in the area under its jurisdiction.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, government agencies were cumbersome, but the court's poor dingling, especially after the Xin Chou treaty, must compensate the huge silver two in various countries.

The governor of the provincial governor, the prefecture of the state can still ensure most of the gates of the county -level gates in various places.

Except for Zhixian, county, the master book, the county captain, the officials, the officials have Lu Lu, the remaining six bedrooms do not enter the flow, there is no Lulu.

There is a cat with a cat, shrimp and shrimp, and people cannot be forced to death by urine.

As a result, the county's gatekeeper let the following institutions collude with the gangs of the rivers and lakes, and cleverly stand their names to support themselves by collecting various fees.

Therefore, in the late Qing Dynasty, the mixed taxes were donated, and various yards were charged as well as cattle and hair.

"There are few people in the Hebo Institute, who dares to use the name of the Institute of Hebo, and block the protection fee of the river?"

Chen Tianhua heard it, was furious, his face was ironing, and he punched it on the office.

"It is said that it is Hongmen Lake Gang ..."

"Hongmen Lake Shao Gang?" He stunned, glanced at a few around him, and said,:

"I know this Hongmen is a big gangster. What is this Hu Shao Gang? Who can you say about this gang?"

Several of them looked at each other, or did Wu Laosan know how much about things on the rivers and lakes, and said:

"Mr. Hua, this Hu Shao Gang heard that the Hongmen Gangs who moved from Huzhou to the waters of Shaoxing area, sometimes appeared on the Grand Canal.

"Yes, he should know for a long time to run coal transportation, what about him now?"

"It's been half a month after Chaogen. He said that he would buy more coal back before the year. He ran this line, and he may often deal with this Hongmen Lake Shao Gang." Wu Laosan also seemed to react.

"This is still used, the coal transportation road must pass through the Hongmen level, which is inevitable that he is not there." Chen Tianhua lowered his head for a moment, said:

"In this way, we separated, Lao Wu, Lin Gen, your brothers, bring a few more brothers to support Jiang Afan, Wu Laowu, look at the acquisition situation and the passage of the ship.

Meet again later in the afternoon. ""

"good…"

"Okay, rest assured."

After Wu Laosan, after Lin Gen quit, Chen Tianhua replaced with a thick gown, put on a soft woolen hat, and called Chen Shaoxiang, who was selling to sell to Liu Wenjie's discussions.

After Liu Wenjie heard it, Chen Tianhua and Chen Shaoxiang were brought without saying a word to find Fan Chenggui together.

As soon as Chen Tianhua was seated in the living room of Fanfu, Chen Tianhua couldn't wait to ask:

"Bao Da, do you know the Gang of Hongmen Lake?"

"Hongmen Lake Shao Gang?" Fan Chenggui stunned, Shen Sheng said:

"I know how much Hongmen's history. Hongmen uses the word loyalty as the ruling thinking.

Within the gate of the door, the green gang was split out of the Hongmen, and the control of the forces was weak.

"Now the Hongmen in this area are all related to the government and the Hebo in the county government. The Hushao Gang you are talking about may be the gangsters and bandits who openly call themselves Hongmen in this area and are rampant on the lake."

"Let's go find the county government office. I'll get to know Jing Cheng and Guan Nian there," Liu Wenjie said.

What Liu Wenjie said about Gongfang Jingcheng and Guan Nian was that they wanted to be the director and deputy director of the county industrial bureau in future generations.

"Don't we have a militia group in our town, organized to resist these gangs?" Chen Shaoxiang glanced at Fan Chenggui and said.

"Using a militia to compete with the Hong Gang will cost a lot of money, including departure fees, disability pensions, welfare fees, etc. In my opinion, it is better to talk to the Yamen first and make a condition. As long as the county

The factory agreed, and the Hongmen problem is not too big."

Hongmen acted under the banner of Gongfang Yamen and legalized the collection of protection fees. Half of the money received was given to Gongfang Yamen.

This is a typical example of private use and abuse of public power in the late Qing Dynasty, and a family of political gangsters.

And the township militia that Fan Chenggui mentioned is a black force organization cloaked in legal guise.

These so-called militia groups are usually gangsters. They often appear to be armed militia groups, but are actually bandits.

Members of the militia in this township disguise themselves as bandits and gangsters and go to other townships to rob and extort money. Or they may be a militia during the day and become bandits at night, committing crimes in their own villages.

This gang of lake bandits engages in smuggling, gambling, robbing businesses, and disturbing the people. They do everything.

In fact, Fan Chenggui knew very well that the Shuangqi Village Vigilantes were also bandits and gangsters. He usually took part of the money he earned from pornography, gambling, and drugs and divided it into a militia, so that his interests were protected.

As for Shuangqi Kiln Farm, he is only a shareholder, accounting for 35% of the shares. Using vigilante groups to deal with gangs will outweigh the gains and losses. Currently, there is no such style.

Some historians once said that in the chaotic era of the late Qing Dynasty, in addition to the excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes imposed by the yamen at all levels of the Qing government, the kidnapping and robbery by bandits, there were also protection fees from various underworld forces.

If you are just an ordinary citizen, your impact will not be big, but as long as you make some name for yourself and have some financial resources, all kinds of forces will emerge and rush towards you like a mad dog. If you are not careful, you will be exploited and killed by them.

Chen Tianhua knew this period of history and had a plan from the beginning. Uniting Fan Chenggui, just like the chess piece of the Li family, was part of the plan.

But what I didn't expect was that this happened too early. This business had just started and it was already on the market. Even the slaughter of cattle and sheep had to be fattened before starting.

These beasts are so vicious and hungry that they are not selective about what they eat.

Seeing Chen Tianhua frowning in thought, looking like he was struggling in pain, Liu Wenjie said thoughtfully:

"Tugen, our Shuangqi Kiln Factory has developed too fast and with too much momentum. In less than a year, our production capacity is larger than that of other factories that have been operating for three to five years, and the profits generated are more than ten times that of these factories. We have already

Becoming a dark horse in the industry and the target of public criticism will inevitably attract the attention of certain forces."

"Uncle Wenjie, what you said is wrong. Our kiln's formula, technology, production organization, etc. are all the most advanced in the world. It is inevitable that it will be popular in the market."

"Sales volume drives the rapid growth of production capacity. This is not our fault, it is our peers who are not good enough. Survival of the fittest, do we have to wait for them?" Chen Shaoxiang did not agree with Liu Wenjie's point of view.

"Axiang, that's not what uncle meant. What he said is that sometimes you have to be restrained and don't show too much edge..."

"How can I be restrained? Is it possible that when someone comes to place an order, I say no? I won't sell it? Or stop production..."

"..."

Liu Wenjie and Chen Shaoxiang argued in the living room, both sides blushing.
