The infinite journey of knights

Chapter 169 Constraints
Gretel himself was not there when Yatim killed Sharman's gang.

But this did not affect his knowledge of Yatimu's ferocity.

In fact, things about that day have already been circulated through various channels.

On that day, Yadimu rushed to the gathering place of the Shaman gang in a fair manner, and killed the previous leader of the Shaman gang in front of everyone inside.

Just thinking about this scene, Gretel felt cruel.

But now, such a ferocious figure is holding his child's hand, looking extremely gentle.

How dare Grete believe it?

But compared to him, the feeling of his family members is pretty good.

The children walked around Yatim, and seemed very happy with Yatim's arrival, but they got acquainted with Yatim, an outsider, in just a short time.

Even Mona has a good impression of Yatimu and his party.

Not just because of the gentleness and politeness of Yatim, but also because of the sweets he threw to the children.

From this point of view, candy is not an ordinary thing, but rather a very precious thing.

Even if it's just the candies in Yatimu's hands, it's something that the Gretel family can't usually eat.

No matter when, it is easy for a generous person to win people's favor.

Definitely.

"correct."

After chatting for a while, Yatimu looked at Gretel in front of him as if he had thought of something serious, "I heard someone said that you were a member of the security team before?"

"Yes."

Hearing this, Gretel suddenly became nervous.

A bitterness rose in his heart, and he probably already guessed why Yadimu came here this time.

If nothing else, his past identity aroused suspicion among the new leader again, so he deliberately came to warn him.

It was like that in the past.

His ability is obviously much better than others, but he was suppressed in the previous Sharman Gang and could only barely make ends meet.

Now that the leader has been changed, the change has been brought about with great difficulty, but it looks like it will return to the past again.

It's just that what Yatimu said out of his mouth caught him by surprise.

"That's just right."

Yatimu looked up at Gretel, and seemed to see what was going on in his heart. He couldn't help but smiled, and then said: "I recently set up a training camp, and there just happens to be a lack of a suitable instructor."

"Grete, since you have such experience in the past, why not come over and be an instructor?"

"By the way, you can help me a little bit."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

This is especially true of Gretel.

He thought that Yadimo would come over to suppress the warning if he knew his past identity, but he didn't expect it to be an appointment.

This was somewhat unexpected.

It wasn't until Mona on the side pushed him that he reacted quickly: "Yes, I will definitely do this job well."

"If that's the case, then I'm relieved."

Yatimu smiled, then took out a money bag and put it in front of Gretel. ,

"This is your first month's salary. Find a chance to live in another place later."

Looking at Gretel and the children in front of him, he said with deep emotion, "This place is really not very safe."

"Yes."

Gretel nodded quickly behind him.

Yatimu didn't say much, just turned around and left.

After he left, Mona picked up the purse and took out the contents.

"Honey, it's gold coins!"

There was a burst of exclamation.

There were five gold coins in the purse.

According to the consumption power of Lima City, this is not a small sum of money, and it can support the expenses of the Gretel family for a long time.

And according to what Yatimu said before, the money is not only this time, but every month in the future?
A month is five gold coins, and a year is sixty.
Thinking of this, even Gretel couldn't help but feel a little bit inexplicable.

Raising a family is not easy.

In the past, Gretel was in Sharman's gang, and he barely had food and clothing.

In order to support his own children, he also went out to do other odd jobs from time to time, and worked part-time to survive.

The days can be said to be quite hard.

And with this fixed amount of money every month, he won't have to work so hard in the future, he only needs to do one thing.

This made him feel relaxed, and a better life in the future seemed to be beckoning to him.

For Yatimu, he couldn't help but feel grateful.

And on the other side.

Yatim came out of the slums.

He didn't care much about Gretel.

How about Gretel's past, he didn't mean to inquire, and he didn't even have the intention to ask.

This is quite different from what other people think.

But Yatimu's idea is actually very simple.

Regardless of the reason why Grete left the so-called security team in the past, it is true that he is living in such a miserable state.

And Yatimu can bring changes to him, allowing him to live a good life with his wife and children.

that's enough.

One is abject and poor, and the other is a rich and decent life. Even a normal person knows how to choose.

Of course, as far as he was concerned, Yatimu didn't take Gretel seriously.

After all, this is just an ordinary person, if there is any abnormality in the future, it will not be too late to solve it at that time.

This is just a small problem.

Compared with this problem, other problems are more serious.

"There should be quite a few people talking bad about me behind my back."

Yatimu looked at the person in front of him and said with a smile.

The people on the side quickly lowered their heads, not daring to reply at all.

After all, the Sharman Gang is a gangster. In the past, their main businesses were black industries, such as theft, and even the establishment of brothels.

All kinds of bad things have been done.

After Yatimu came up, he canceled most of the things, and strictly prohibited the members from doing things without authorization and doing bad things.

This will naturally cause dissatisfaction among many people.

Of course, there are corresponding compensation measures.

In the Sharman Gang in the past, most of the people did not have a fixed income.

They joined the Sharman Gang just to seek the protection of the Sharman Gang itself, but they usually don't get much benefit.

Most of these people usually make a living by stealing and robbery.

Under normal circumstances, they would divide some of the things they got and hand them over to the Sharman Gang, and at the same time take advantage of the Sharman Gang's protection.

That way they can survive.

When Yatimu first entered the city of Lima, the two he met fell into this category.

Now that Yatimu has canceled this part of the activity as soon as he came in, it is natural to give them some necessary supplements.

Otherwise, these people would have no way out.

Since they are not allowed to steal and rob, then a new way must be found for them.

Yatimu's approach is to house these people and let them train intensively, which is equivalent to giving them a formal job and paying them a fixed salary.

This is equivalent to fixing them down, and they are no longer running around like before.

Most people are happy with this decision.

After all, it is better to have a stable job than to be a thief.

But there are naturally dissatisfied people, and there are quite a few of them.

For this group of people, Yatimu's approach is to let them leave on their own, and give them a severance package along the way.

He felt that this was considered good, but obviously, some people would still feel dissatisfied after all.

This requires an iron fist.

"Send someone back to tell Sailuo, let him send someone to deal with it."

Regarding these matters, Yatimu didn't care about anything, just explained something casually, and then walked back to his residence.

Walking back to the residence, there are already people waiting inside.

"Boss, all the ledgers are here."

Looking at Yatim's figure, the person in front spoke respectfully.

Yatimu nodded, then walked forward on his own, picked up a ledger and read it.

It is said to be a ledger, but it is not complete in fact, it can only be said to be some approximate records.

A considerable part of it was written by Yadimo who called operators from various places and asked them to write it now.

Not surprisingly, these data are quite crude, but through these things, we can still get a general idea of ​​the general situation of these industries.

The current industries of the Sharman Gang can be divided into three categories.

One is the nearby streets. This is their fixed site, and they can usually charge a considerable amount of protection fees.

In addition, there are also some shops that operate directly, and the categories of operation are also very simple, basically brothels, taverns and the like.

The other is some stolen goods sent by others.

According to the rules, the Sharman's gang members should share the things that the members of the Sharman's gang got nearby, and by the way, use the relationship of the whole gang to sell them.

Of course, this part of the income disappeared after Yatim came to power, and it has been canceled by Yatim.

However, just the other two items brought considerable income each month, about [-] gold coins per month.

After Yatim's improvement, the system of the Shaman gang has changed, and there are many more people who need to be paid.

For example, for those captains, as well as leaders like Sai Luo and Gretel, the monthly salary they need to pay is not a small number.

But even so, after distributing everyone's income, there is still a lot of money left.

Yatim probably had the final say.

Even after deducting his current various expenses, just the operating income of these industries, he can still leave three to four hundred gold coins every month.

This is not a small number.

The gangsters make so much money?

This thought flashed through Yatimu's mind.

He didn't expect that just a small Shaman gang could have this level of income.

Of course, this just seems like a lot.

In the past, the income of the Sharman Gang had to be divided among many people. Except for the leader above, all the leaders had to share it.

Even if it is the remaining profits, a considerable part needs to be spent to operate other aspects, and the actual remaining is far less than it seems.

Yadimu now thinks it's not bad, mainly because he has solved the original leader and several leaders. There is no shareholder who wants a share, and all the money belongs to himself and the car buyer wants to use it, so naturally it seems too much up.

But this is not enough time yet.

There are many black industries under Sharman's help.

Some of them are like brothels, and Yatimu is not going to close them down.

After all, such things are also rigid needs to some extent.

Even if he closes these places, it won't be long before someone else will open them.

The problem is still not resolved.

Besides, it is easy to shut down these places, but how to arrange those people in the future is another serious problem.

Therefore, Yadimo's attitude towards brothels and other industries can be retained, but in the future, they must be strictly guarded as much as possible so that they can become more formal.

Among other things, at least the kind of human trafficking and coercion of normal women can no longer happen.

As for industries such as taverns, the profit situation is not good, and it is easy to involve energy when the place is large.

Afterwards, Yatimo plans to slowly divest this part of the business, or directly integrate it and hand it over to others for special operation.

Apart from these businesses, the largest business of the Shaman Gang is actually finance, which is called usury for short.

By lending money to businessmen in the past, charging high interest rates, and then using force in their hands to ensure the recovery of the loan, this is the most profitable business for the Sharman Gang at the moment.

As far as the current account book is concerned, it can be known that the money that the Sharman gang put outside before is worth tens of thousands of gold coins.

This part of the business is the same as the brothel, there is no need to cut it off, but it is also necessary to strictly monitor it.

Otherwise, it is easy to come up with something.

In addition to these, Yatimo is also preparing to develop some new businesses.

"Have you found the factory building that you were asked to find before?"

Yatimu looked at the person in front of him, and then spoke.

"It's almost there."

The person in front of him nodded respectfully, and then said: "Boss, you can go over and have a look at any time."

"it is good."

Yatim nodded, then stood up.

He mounted a horse, and went outside the city.

There, at this moment, there is already thick smoke burning, and workers are moving among them.

"Mr. Deli."

The person in charge came out and looked at Yatimu with some fear: "The things are ready."

"Mr. Larch, don't be so afraid."

Yatimu looked at the man in front of him and smiled amiably: "We are partners, aren't we?"

"Yes, it is."

Lucky smiled, then nodded.

The Laqi in front of him is not Yatim's subordinate, but a partner of the original Shaman Gang.

Of course, it may be a bit reluctant to say that they are partners, but strictly speaking they should be regarded as debtors.

In order to expand the business, Larch received a large sum of money from Sharman, about one thousand gold coins.

But then, due to the impact of the external environment, his business soon failed, and naturally he was unable to repay the loan from the Sharman Gang.

According to the past practice of the Sharman gang, if he said that he would not be hacked to death, he might end up worse than death in the future, with a bleak end.

But after Yatimu knew the news, he asked the people around him to let him go, and chose to keep his venue.
