After the immortal disappeared

Since the change of commander, the Yuheng City Army no longer rushed into Longchuan to suppress the bandits, but instead carried out a frenzied raid on the Xiqian Trade Road, starting the mode at all costs. In this case, the gangs go out to rob, and the cost becomes higher and higher. There were so many gang members dead and injured, and the pensions paid by the gangs were frighteningly high.

As He Lingchuan said, sometimes the money robbed by the gang is not enough to distribute the pension; but if they don't pay, who will be willing to follow them with a knife in the future? The gang must break up immediately.

This is not a capitalless transaction, it has a high cost.

To make matters worse, their channels for selling stolen goods near Yuheng City were also controlled by He Lingchuan.

On the one hand, it is becoming more and more difficult to cash in the looted goods, and on the other hand, the cost of robbery is getting higher and higher. Xu Zeshou sometimes even has to dig into his pocket to subsidize.

He could make money as a robber, but he didn't know how long he could hold on.

By the way, there are also Xiliang puppet troops who are not dealing with them all day long.

Thinking about these nonsense makes me heartbroken.

Tao Lin replied without any yin or yang: "Isn't this all a gift from Commander Baihe?"

If it hadn't been for the emergence of this person named He, their current life would still be very smooth.

He Lingchuan smiled and said: "This is called the butt deciding the head. When I sit in this seat, I have no choice but to fight with the gangsters. If you become a good person, ahem, I mean go ashore, from now on you will neither fight nor receive pensions, and you will be an official. You can collect money just by sitting on the ground with your waist card."

"What's wrong with stable happiness?"

It sounds like there is nothing wrong with it. The money for buying a road may not sound like much, but the advantage is that it is endless and becomes stable and considerable over time.

But can officials be so kind? Eighty percent of the time there is some means of harming people hidden inside.

Xu Zeshou raised his chin: "I am helping more than 500 people, how will they be accommodated?"

The Ball Flower Gang only had more than 300 members last year, but now the small gangs are dying and scattered, and the members of the gang have been absorbed by the big gang.

He Lingchuan smiled with understanding on his face: "Gang Leader Xu, you have 370 people, including the boatmen who build the rafts, but there are not more than 500."

Xu Zeshou was exposed and secretly stunned.

Originally there was, but the new leader of the Xiqian puppet army sought his bad luck and led his men to ambush the Guihua Gang. Each of the two gangs suffered injuries in the subsequent fight, and the Ball Flower Gang suffered even greater losses. About sixty of them died, and forty more escaped.

The most annoying thing is that there are about 20 people who saw that the opponent was stronger and switched to the Xiqian puppet army!

Then why did the Xilian puppet army focus on him and look for trouble?

Isn’t it because this man surnamed He killed Chen Hao, one of Fushan Lie’s cronies, and then accused the Qiuhua Gang of tipping him off!

Fu Shanlie didn't listen to Xu Zeshou's explanation at all. After the blood feud between the two parties, Xu Zeshou didn't bother to explain. Anyway, he understood clearly that Fushan Lie had eaten so many small gangs and started to have thoughts about the Ball Flower Gang. The death of Chen Hao and the tip-off were just the reasons for Fushan Lie to start the war.

Thinking of this incident, although Xu Zeshou was angry and resentful, the thoughts that had been circling in his mind when he came, such as "taking the opportunity to chop up the person named He", have disappeared.

He Lingchuan shouted the true number of the Broken Ball Flower Gang and beat him on the spot:

Officials have a clear picture of the Qiuhua Gang's family background.

Even if a tiger doesn't show off its power, you can't treat it as a sick cat.

Of course, his purpose today was not to break up with the gang, so he changed the topic and said, "As for these 370 people, you can lead them yourself. The same goes for Gang Leader Tao, he will lead his own people."

Even Tao Lin was surprised: "You won't accept them?"

Isn't the first step in recruiting people to break up the gangs and disrupt the placement of these desperadoes?

This move is called clipping its wings to reduce the threat.

Yuheng City actually doesn't plan to dismantle the gangsters. Isn't it afraid that they will join forces to become bigger and rebel against the guests?

"What to recruit?" He Lingchuan spread his hands, "The Yuheng City Army is already full."

"But in the future, you will have to hand over 20% of the money you collect from the trade routes to Yuheng City. After paying this money, you will become good and contributing citizens, and you will no longer have to worry about official extermination; and as long as the road section under your jurisdiction is peaceful and clear, I can also apply for a reward from Yuheng City, which will not only transfer the 20%, but also add an additional 10% subsidy. The extra 30% will be distributed in the form of dividends to those who have made outstanding contributions. Help everyone. After all, everyone works for the officials, so it is only natural to receive some performance from the officials, right?"

Put the road tax in your sleeve and still get a salary? There is such a beautiful thing in the world!

Xu Zeshou didn't quite understand what "dividends" were. It sounded like a subsidy, but he didn't feel embarrassed to ask right now.

Tao Lin couldn't help but said: "What good will this do to Yuheng City?"

The Takikawa trade road was so busy that Yuheng City actually handed over the road tax to the gang!

There is a cost for Yuheng City to manage trade routes. This is not for nothing, but a rebate.

What kind of selfless spirit of injustice is this?

Too good to be true.

In the adult world, pie will not fall from the sky, only bait will fall. Faced with such favorable conditions, the two gang leaders became wary.

"There are three benefits." He Lingchuan raised a finger, "First, the trade routes are peaceful, the safety of travelers is guaranteed, and the Yuheng City Army and the Longchuan Gang don't have to die. It can be said to be a three-win situation."

This, indeed.

It seems worth spending a little money to buy peace and life, right?

"Secondly, what Panlong City values ​​​​is never this little road tax, but the long-term stability of the Longchuan Trade Road. As long as the business is prosperous and the government and the people benefit, it doesn't matter if Yuheng City does not earn this little road tax."

The reason why Zhong Shengguang attaches so much importance to the Longchuan Trade Road is not to collect some tax money, but to maintain the connection between Panlong Wasteland and the outside world!

Bejia and Jin Yuguo secretly supported the water bandits in their rebellion, just to interrupt Panlong City's efforts to expand outward.

As long as the Takikawa trade route remains open, the Panlong Wasteland will not fall into isolation again like the subsequent development of history.

Just grasp the main contradiction. As for the taxes, He Lingchuan didn't care, and he believed Panlongcheng didn't care either.

As long as the Longchuan trade road is busy, Panlong City's trade will naturally be easy to do.

Money is endless.

At this point, Yuheng City will inevitably have to make some sacrifices.

"Third!" He Lingchuan's face darkened, "My target is the Xiqiao puppet army, not you!"

Tao and Xu looked at each other and said, "Come on, this is the point."

"The Xiqiao puppet army is harming both the trade routes and the Longchuan River. Since it invaded the Longchuan River, how many gangs have been disbanded because of it? How many balances have been broken because of it?" He Lingchuan's eyes were clear, "This puppet army I believe you two know better than me who is behind this. If we don’t get rid of the puppet army and cut off the evil hands, there will never be peace in Takigawa!"

Xu Zeshou hesitated for a moment and then said: "It's not just the Kingdom of Jin who is supporting the Xiqian puppet army."
