Poor family mother and son

Chapter 292 "My name is Qian Sanshun"

Xiaobao said: "Sister-in-law, as the saying goes, 'Chicks don't pee, each has its own way', mother may not know these things, tell me quickly."

This meant that the sister-in-law was on the opposite side. If Chu Yuan had spoken ill of his mother, Xiao Bao would have "discussed" with him long ago.

Lu Chuan's daughter-in-law is an honest person, and sometimes she doesn't pay attention to the severity of her words when she is anxious, so she doesn't care whether what she said just now will make Xiaobao feel disgusted. She thinks that letting Xiaobao know more about non-governmental organizations is the most important thing now. Ensuring Xiaobao's safety is the top priority.

Therefore, she not only turned to Xiaobao, but also turned her face to Chu Yuan: "The Salt Gang and the Chuan Gang are two different gangs in the south of the Yangtze River. I don't know the details. I haven't contacted them before, and our family's business has nothing to do with them." ;

But I heard that the Salt Gang makes money by escorting private salt merchants, and the Chuan Gang makes money by monopolizing some waterways and shipping;

So Chu Yuan, you have to ask around, don’t follow other people’s ways, you don’t know who did it, our business does not involve these gangs, and my family Lu Chuan often runs to Xinlunzhou. Come here, can't understand;
When you bring Xiaobao out, you have to widen your eyes and stretch your ears, huh?
This time you disturbed the "good thing" of Changfeng Escort Bureau, and the Kong family might look for trouble for you later. "

Xiaobao poured tea for Lu Chuan's daughter-in-law, and held it to him with both hands: "Sister-in-law, if you stir it up, it's not in vain. Now the Sanshun Escort Bureau belongs to our family. Do you think it's worth it? I'm just telling you about it, Lu Chuan." Brother, I didn't tell you!"

In any case, a woman's family, leaving her unweaned baby alone, came all the way from Xuanwei Mansion alone, and asked all the way to find Xiaobao in the suburbs. She really cared about it, and Xiaobao was very grateful. Affection.

But what Lu Chuan's wife said today also reminded Xiaobao: he needs to grow "tentacles".

If you want to mix in the "jianghu", you must have enough information channels.

Before leaving, Huang Zhong showed his precautions for the people around Chu Qing, which made Xiaobao feel that he should have suitable people to be his eyes and ears.

This "suitable person" must not have anything to do with the government.

Xiaobao reflected on what he had done in the past: he said he had to deal with the situation in the state school by himself, but in the end he got injured all over his body, and even made Qiusheng fight with him;

I want to make a pearl jewelry for my mother, and I have someone change the pearls, but in the end they can't stand each other, and my mother has to make a rescue;

In order to eliminate Wu Jichang, Gan Lai was almost killed;

Years ago, when the convoy was intercepted, he actually "got his head and ignored his back", making his seriously injured brother block the knife for him with his last breath...

This is not entirely a problem of young age and lack of strength, but also my lack of careful thinking, poor planning, impulsive actions, and lack of careful observation of the surrounding things...

To sum up all of this, less information is acquired and the scope of thinking is small. Therefore, it is necessary to establish an information system. The so-called knowing yourself and the enemy is justified.

Look at other emperors, there is Yushitai who supervises all officials openly, and there is a secret investigation department who secretly monitors Yushitai and various important officials.

Therefore, even the emperor has to have eyes and ears all over to grasp all the movements.

The more Xiaobao thought about it, the more he felt that he was useless and had fallen into a dead end.

Compared with the emperor... Little Treasure, aren't you asking too much of yourself?

Xiaobao decided to find Pingjian first to find out.

Since Ping Jian has his own fleet, can he know something about the "ship gang"?
"Uncle Ping, our fleet is all small boats, so there are no big boats?" Xiaobao asked.

Ping Jian said: "There are currently five ships, and we can also build them, but they have been idle and can't be used."

Xiaobao: "Why can't I use it?"

Ping Jian: "Big boats are troublesome. We all take small rivers. It's fast, and we don't have to compete with official ships or big merchant ships for the pier."

Xiaobao: "Uncle Ping, we will have to use a big boat soon. You must at least repair the idle boat first. Later, I will get it for you and just move it for you. You will cover the bottom and corners of the boat. I can follow along with you." People talk about business."

Ping Jian looked at Xiao Bao, he believed this, because his mother was Chu Qing.

"Uncle Ping, are there any rules of the rivers and lakes? I heard that the darts should worship the mountain or the pier?" Xiaobao asked innocently.

"You don't need to worship the mountain," Ping Jian said, "The meaning of worshiping the mountain is to join a guild. We don't need to join any guild."

Xiaobao: "Isn't it said in the Jianghu that you must manage your peers, or gain recognition through some form, so that people in the Jianghu will not make trouble?"

Ping Jian thought it was inexplicably funny to talk about "jianghu" from the mouth of a child.

But in front of him was his partner, so he had to take it seriously.

"It's like this. Along both sides of the canal, there have been water bandits throughout the dynasties. Later, they quarreled with, colluded with, and annexed merchant boatmen and sailors. Now they have formed a "boat gang" that makes money by monopolizing water transportation, even if you don't use their boats. , you have to pay a 'deposit fee'." Ping Jian explained.

Xiaobao: "Then shall we pay it too?"

Ping Jian showed a confident smile: "We don't need it, they don't interfere with us."

Xiaobao was excited: "How do you say it?"

Ping Jian said: "We use our own boat, this is the first one, we don't use theirs; the second one, they had a little friction with us, and we can't fight."

Xiaobao: "Why can't you fight?"

Ping Jian: "Didn't I tell you that the people in our Chuanfang have at least one or two unique skills. If we really fight, we are not afraid of anyone, so the Chuan Gang will not be so stupid as to hurt us both."

Ping Jian's words made his image unpredictable in Xiao Bao's heart.

Most of Pingjian's men were workers brought over from Ganzhou, and they were "poor people" taken in by his master.

These people include servants who were exiled by criminal officials, imperial physicians who were framed and exiled, fishermen who could not survive in the local area, fugitives who committed murder, and knights who died.

Because he has no status, he was taken in by the "King of Thousand Machines" to work for a living.

When the "King of Thousand Machines" Ye Luo returned to his roots, they were all grateful for the old man's chivalry, and they came back together to die, and then they stopped leaving and lived with Ping Jian.

Ping Jian can't tell Xiao Bao about these things for the time being, after all Chu Qing has an official status, Ping Jian is not sure if speaking out will bring danger to these people.

Little Treasure didn't ask anymore. Everyone has their own secrets. Not exploring each other's secrets is a kind of respect. After getting more familiar with each other, exchanging secrets is a kind of stability.

Xiaobao changed the question: "Is there only such a gang in Jianghu?"

Ping Jian laughed and said, "How is that possible? As far as I know, there are beggar gangs, salt gangs, and boat gangs in the Jiangnan area. To deal with the 'Tan Gang'."

Xiaobao: "Huh? Shouldn't the firewood cutter and the charcoal seller be a family?"

Ping Jian said: "As long as there is a conflict of interest, we cannot be a family.

Some people have a way to get charcoal slag from the mine, and put it on yellow mud, which can also be burned, and the price is lower than that of charcoal. "

Xiaobao doesn't care about the "Hatchet Gate", he still wants to know about the Salt Gang: "Then what is the Salt Gang?"

Ping Jian: "I just heard about this. I have never dealt with them, and I don't know them. It is said that they are a group of private salt dealers."

It seems that Ping Key doesn't know either.

Xiaobao: "Uncle Ping, I will go around, can I borrow your name?"

Ping Jian thought for a while, did Chu Qing's son mean to develop obscenely?That's right, since you want someone to be your backer, then the backer should be used at critical times.

For Ping Jian, the so-called "critical" time is not to deal with business disputes, but to help bring the senior brother back.

The master is gone, and the senior brother is capable, if he is trapped for a lifetime like the master, I am afraid that the master will not be reconciled on the road to Huangquan.

So he said: "My senior brother and I have put the master's surname in front of our respective surnames. The household registration is written as Qianpingjian. You can also use the master's surname. Have you thought about the name?"

Xiaobao said: "Isn't the name ready-made? My name is Qian Sanshun." He pointed to Chu Yuan and Xiao Sining, "They are Qian Dashun and Qian Ershun, your nephews!"

Ping Jian looked at Chu Yuan and Xiao Sining, who seemed to be not a few years younger than him: "All right, as long as you are happy."

Xiao Sining saw the opportunity quickly, and immediately felt that he was much younger. He filled the Pingjian teacup and served tea: "Uncle, you drink tea."
