Chapter 355: Black-making Black 5

These three consecutive rainy days are a rare rest time for me.

When Yang Kaiwu came over, he also brought the mahjong I ordered Gongsun Xiwu to cook for me. While I had time these three days, I simply kept doing it and taught a few girls to play mahjong. Since I was originally from Sichuan, I taught Sichuan mahjong, and it was the most popular bloody battle to the end. And the girls were sometimes bored, and now they had this one and could also kill some time.

As for those gangs, I chose to wipe out some gangs that usually cause harm to the neighbors and fish people without hesitation, and I did not touch some gangs that were usually decent. Because of this, although the process of the sanction was a bit bloody, the people did not dislike it much, and many people applauded.

One purpose of doing this is to make some gangs who are ready to move more stable. Another one is to explain to those gangs that even if they are big local snakes, I, a strong dragon, can suppress them. Now I have the final say in the city. My backing is the wolf teeth that are definitely considered invincible among these gangs.

For these underground forces, using black to control black is only a means in the later stage. In the early stage, I need to use absolute force to make them subjugate, even if it is temporary, in order to give enough development time for the underground forces under my control. And if I guess it is good, they should come to me today.

Now my third brother and I are drafting a notice in the temporary office, and the content of the notice includes the following points:

1. From tomorrow, all gangs must report to the City Lord’s Mansion in the next three days.

2. When reporting, you must bring a list of the gang owners. In the name of the gang, industries under the name of the gang, if unreported industries are found, the remaining industries will be confiscated.

3. After review, the gang without bad records or harms the people will issue an operation license to continue to exist. If it is discovered that the gang will cause harm to the people later, the gang has the right to recover the license and ask it to dissolve the gang. If it is not dissolved, the gang will be sent by someone to enforce it.

4. All gangs shall not possess weapons of more than 30% of their total number. For those who exceed them, the City Lord's Mansion will forcibly confiscate them and impose a high fine. For those who refuse to execute, the City Lord's Mansion will take compulsory measures and do not rule out the use of force. The City Lord's Mansion will not bear any responsibility for the consequences caused.

5. Anyone who establishes a gang must apply to the City Lord's Mansion and can only be established after passing the review. Those who have been established without review will be resolutely banned.

We have listed the top ten points in total, and the most important of them are these five points. For the first and second points, we can grasp the specificity of these gangs. For some gangs with excessive strength, we can also limit them, so that their power is always within the scope of our control. The third point tells them that if they continue to keep their gangs, they must be kept in peace and cannot make trouble. Money can be made, but they must be legal. Moreover, even if they obtain an operation license, it does not mean that they can rest assured. If there is a situation that harms the people, they will not only be retrieved, but may also face disbandment. The fourth point is to reduce the occurrence of fighting between these gangs. Three hundred of them have weapons, so it is a problem to protect themselves, but there are fewer attacks on others. Moreover, if their weapons exceed 30%, they should be worried about facing the attack of Langya. The fifth point is to control the number of gangs in the city to a limited range.

In this notice, it is also stipulated that the gang must pay twice the tax and deposit to the city lord's mansion every year that is equal to ordinary merchants. Those who have no bad record will receive a refund of the deposit and 50% of the two-year tax as a reward. Moreover, the gang's industries will be relaxed in terms of policies, and even support them to help them develop, and then pay taxes according to ordinary merchants in the future. The reason for this is to let them know that if you are in accordance with the gang, I can let you eat and drink without worrying about it.

Moreover, when a gang is established, it must pay a deposit of the same ratio as the expected number of people in the gang. On average, it is 100 taels of silver per person. Faced with such a high amount of deposit, those who want to set up a gang for a while must first consider whether there is that money!

If the implementation goes smoothly, the essence of these gangs may change in less than one or two years, or if the underground changes slowly and they will rise to the ground. This is also one of my goals. It is difficult for a country to implement these terms, but for me, it is much simpler. The place is only so big that I can even cover some very small places.

At a glance, these terms give people a feeling of blackness. I admit this, but politics is very dark. If these terms were created by ordinary people, no one would pay attention to them, but it would be different if we made them, because these terms are covered with a very beautiful halo, that is the law. Moreover, the implementation of these laws is backed by the army, whether it is threat or coercion, the only choice for those gangs that continue to exist is to obey.

The most important terms are those gangs, not the general public. Compared with the total number of people, the number of gangs is only a very small part, and it can be regarded as a special group, so this will not cause panic among ordinary people, because for them, terms have basically nothing to do with them. Since they have nothing to do with them, who is willing to pay attention to it, and if you look at it, it will only be regarded as a topic of discussion.

After spending a morning of filing out these terms with the third brother, we immediately sent people to copy a lot of copies and posted them at major intersections. In order to cooperate with the announcement, more than an hour before the announcement was posted, I asked Yang Kaiwu to lead people to force the disband of the third largest gang in the city, the fish gang, which usually has a bad record.

And at this time, in the Qinglong Gang.

Qinglong and Huanglong discussed it and decided to go to the city lord's mansion immediately. Otherwise, the next one to be destroyed might be his Qinglong Gang. Although he seemed to be a little unscrupulous to others, he was lifeless. What's the use of this unscrupulous?

But as soon as they were about to go out, a gang member hurriedly ran in from outside, holding a piece of paper in his hand, and his face was panicked. As soon as they saw Qinglong and the others, they immediately shouted: "The boss, the boss, the boss, are not good!"

Huang Long frowned slightly and said, "What's wrong!"

The gang members did not explain much, and handed the paper in their hands to Qinglong and the others, saying, "At this time, the notice just issued by the City Lord's Mansion, you can take a look!"

Seeing that the gang members were so anxious, and when they heard the notice from the city lord's mansion, Huang Long immediately became solemn, took the paper, looked carefully, and the more he looked, the heavier the more he looked. After reading it, he sighed and said, "This Deng Long is such a big deal. He not only wants to control our Qinglong Gang, but he wants to control all the gangs in the entire city!"

Seeing Huang Long say this, Qinglong also took the paper, looked at it, and then said angrily: "This Deng Long is too arrogant. Are you not afraid that all the gangs will unite to fight him?"

"And against him?"

Huang Long smiled bitterly and said, "Do you know how many people are there in all the gangs in the city now?"

Qinglong lowered his head and thought for a while and replied, "It's about one thousand people. In addition, those who were broken up some time ago are probably only two thousand people!"

Huang Long continued: "Do you know how many elder brothers Deng Long has? His wolf teeth alone have two thousand people. And behind him are the two countries, the Great Zhou and Da Yue, and those who support him are millions of soldiers. If we unite to oppose him, it will be rebellion. For us, Deng Long and the two countries are absolutely willing to destroy us! Besides, the bloody suppression of Langya a few days ago has made everyone in danger of the remaining gangs, so they still have the courage to unite? Faced with such a large gap in strength, who would be willing to be the one who stood up?"

Qinglong was silent. The gangs in the city were not monolithic and were usually intriguing. Now who can expect all the remaining gangs to unite? Moreover, in the face of a battle without suspense, is there anyone who wants to lose their life in vain?

Seeing Qinglong silent, Huang Long pointed to the announcement and said, "Deng Long is not without giving the gang a chance. Just like this, as long as all gangs are obedient, the deposit for the first two years will be refunded in two years, and the tax paid by the tutor will be refunded 50% back, which is equivalent to paying one year's tax for two years, which is lower than the tax for ordinary merchants. In the future, the tax will be taught by ordinary merchants, and they will also be supported. In the past few days, I have also read some information about Deng Long and found that in his hands, he still controls the Fourth Movement Chamber of Commerce, which is now ranked second in the Great Zhou Dynasty. If you get the support of the City Lord's Mansion, you will get the support of the Chamber of Commerce. As long as you operate well, we will have no worries about food and drink in two years!"

Qinglong said in a little puzzled manner: "Is the information real? There is such a big chamber of commerce behind him?"

Huang Long nodded affirmatively and said, "It's not true at all. Deng Long is definitely a celebrity in the Great Zhou Dynasty. However, due to the distance, there are very few people in the city. However, I have also found some merchants who often go to the Great Zhou Dynasty to inquire. They also confirmed that there are four leaders behind the Fourth Movement Chamber of Commerce, which are the four families of Shangling. Now the four families are headed by the Deng family, and the Deng family is headed by Deng Long. At the same time, there is another point, that is, Deng Long is the largest leader of the Shangling Underground Gang!"

Qinglong's face was suddenly filled with shock.
