Ouchi Taming the Cat, starting with the Ten Tiger Forms!

Chapter 499: The Red Scarf is First Established
In response to Princess Ankang's words, Li Xuan naturally waved his hands:

"I'm just a little kitten, how can I be the captain of the Red Scarf Team?"

"Ankang, you have an important responsibility now, you must live up to the responsibility on your shoulders!"

Li Xuan educated Princess Ankang earnestly.

Princess Ankang looked at the mark on her left arm, was speechless, and silently covered it with her hand.

The symbol on her left arm is three stripes, with a distinct cat's paw print and a snowflake decorated with flame patterns.

The color of the logo is red, which represents Daxing. The cat's paw mark is the symbol of Li Xuan, and the snowflake decorated with flame patterns represents Princess Ankang.

The flame patterns and snowflakes represent Princess Ankang's two bloodlines, namely the Daxing royal family and the Beiliang royal family.

Li Xuan also put a lot of effort into the Red Scarf Team's logo.

The workmanship of this sign is not bad, and most importantly, the materials are excellent. It is personally processed by Xiao Cui and her grandfather, two experienced rope craftsmen, using the toughest wire.

Although the badge on Princess Ankang's shoulder has no practical function, it is not afraid of being cut by knives or axes, burned by fire or soaked in water. In addition, it has a unique appearance and can be said to be a high-quality identity certificate.

"Ah Xuan, do I have to carry this thing with me all the time?"

Although Princess Ankang had no objection to the logo, she had strong objections to the Red Scarf Team.

At the beginning, they recruited idlers who originally belonged to the Money Gang, and used benefits as bait to make them do good deeds.

It’s just that these people are used to the previous style of doing things, and even when they do good things, they do it in a hideous way.

The scene just now is the best example.

When Princess Ankang thought about the fact that she was the leader of this group of people, she wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

She had long expected that the gang founded by Li Xuan would not be very serious, but the result was beyond her imagination.

It is a great thing to encourage members to do good deeds and be good people, and Princess Ankang also supports it.

But it was obvious that these idlers were only after money and had no good intentions at all, which was why they acted so rudely and recklessly.

"I'm already granting you a break from the law by not letting you wear a red scarf."

Li Xuan immediately took up his post and criticized.

But when he saw that Princess Ankang looked unhappy, he stopped teasing her.

"Okay, okay, if you really feel embarrassed, you can take it off."

"Anyway, your existence is not meant to be revealed openly."

Upon hearing this, Princess Ankang quickly took off the badge on her shoulder and put it in her arms.

Xiao Cui spent several days making this emblem for Princess Ankang, so Princess Ankang will naturally cherish it.

But after thinking about it, she immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Then you made me wear it all day long!"

Li Xuan smiled awkwardly and hid aside.

He wasn't just teasing the little girl. After all, he had to leave some impression about this logo on people.

Although, except for a few people, no one knows the meaning of the mark on Princess Ankang's left arm.

Now that the Red Scarf Team has been established, in addition to Princess Ankang as the captain, there is also a deputy captain, who will be temporarily served by Zhu Shimin.

Below the deputy captain, there are team leaders, squadron leaders and platoon leaders, which simply constitute the organizational structure of the Red Scarf Team.

There are not many members in the Red Scarf Team now, only a little over a hundred, and the entry threshold is extremely low, and almost all of them are recruited with money.

Li Xuan also needs to conduct experiments slowly to see if his method will work. After all, this is the first time for him to establish an organization.

But judging from the results in the past few days, it is still good.

Money makes the world go round, and this trick works wherever you put it.

Moreover, the money to hire these idlers is not much, basically two taels of silver per month.

Anyway, the Red Scarf Team is just doing good deeds now, and they don't need to go out to grab territory or anything like that, so they don't need anyone with superb strength at all, so hiring ordinary idlers is enough, and a lot of expenses can be saved.

Now the core management of the Red Turbans are all the eunuchs in flowery clothes from the Imperial Household Department. Since they are there to deal with fights, there is no need to recruit other experts.

It just so happened that the Ministry of Internal Affairs was supposed to manage the underground industries that originally belonged to the Jinqian Gang. Now they could kill two birds with one stone, and they also had the identity of the Red Scarf Team outside, which made it even more legitimate.

"Ah Xuan, these people are only here for the money."

"Look, they just helped that old man move things, and ended up scaring him half to death. After doing such a good deed, they still want to be elected as the team leader?"

"dream!"

Princess Ankang said unhappily.

The big men from the Red Scarf Team disappeared around the corner and could no longer be seen.

In the current Red Turban Team, only the team leaders are hired from the public, while the other squadron leaders and captains are all eunuchs in flowery clothes, and these big men have no chance of being promoted.

The rules that Li Xuan set for the Red Scarf Team are also very interesting. In addition to a certain level of strength as a basic requirement, personal character and good deeds done have become the top priority in the selection.

Not only must we convince the people within the Red Turban Team, but we must also convince the common people and make them praise us.

Of course, there are benefits to their enthusiasm in selecting team leaders.

The team leader can have at least five team members under him, and his salary can also be increased to five taels of silver.

This tangible power and higher salary are the main reasons why they are enthusiastic about selecting team leaders.

But this made Princess Ankang very dissatisfied.

Such a good thing was ruined by these hooligans.

Princess Ankang felt that this was not the gang she wanted to establish.

"Alas, a gentleman is judged by deeds, not by heart."

Li Xuan began to exhort.

"Of course, they are not really gentlemen."

"It mainly depends on their actions to make everyone aware of our Red Scarf Team."

“Only then can we start to attract like-minded players.”

Li Xuan patiently explained to Princess Ankang.

Princess Ankang thought about it and found that she could understand Li Xuan's approach.

After all, when their Red Scarf Team first started recruiting people, most people thought it was some new underground gang, so all those who came to apply were old members of the Money Gang.

These old members of the Jinqian Gang had their original jobs transferred to Princess Ankang's management, resulting in a large number of them becoming unemployed and idling on the streets.

But even so, when they heard that the Red Scarf Team wanted to hire people to do good things, many people left cursing.

Most of the members of the Money Gang are used to doing domineering work. How can they bring themselves to do it if they are suddenly asked to serve the people?

Those who chose to join the Red Scarf Team later were really short of money, so they accepted the job with reluctance.

After a few days, I found that this job was much easier.

"I hope it's really as you said."

Princess Ankang sighed and shook her head as she looked at the people who were talking endlessly on the street.

Anyway, she felt that the reputation of the Red Scarf Team might be developing in a very strange direction.

Li Xuan was quite satisfied when he saw the people talking about the Red Turban Team.

No matter what, at least their Red Scarf Team has become a new phenomenon in the capital in the past few days and has been discussed by many people.

Although we encountered a lot of troubles, they were not serious.

Because of Chen Tan's relationship, the Money Gang ignored the existence of the Red Scarf Team.

After all, Chen Tan was eager for the Red Scarf Team to grow quickly and take over the Sihai Casino and other industries, so that he would not have to bear the blame. During this period of time, many people came to the Jinqian Gang’s headquarters to visit Chen Tan, but Chen Tan pretended not to be there and asked the deputy gang leader Yang Wanli to help him deal with it.

But this is only a temporary solution and cannot be sustained in this way.

Of course, the biggest resistance does not come from the Money Gang, but from the old members of the Money Gang.

As mentioned before, most of them are not willing to do these good deeds just to make a little money.

But seeing his former brothers losing their underworld dignity for the sake of money, conflicts were inevitable.

This may be a difficult problem for other organizations.

But for the Red Scarf Team...

Those captains and squadron leaders are not vegetarians.

After being severely punished several times by the powerful eunuchs in flowery clothes, there were no more obstacles in the Red Scarf Team's journey of doing good deeds.

Even the government cannot control people from doing good deeds.

Although there are still many people who misunderstand the Red Scarf Team, more and more people know about this organization that does good things without being polite.

Although he only helped with small things and didn't do anything earth-shattering or major for the country and the people, he gradually gained some fame.

These days, the three little ones come to the street to see how the Red Scarf Team is doing when they have nothing to do, so they are very clear about the current situation.

"Ah Xuan, how do you plan to deal with those who are secretly disobeying orders and cheating?"

Princess Ankang asked curiously.

Not all members of the Red Scarf Team are doing good things.

Many people came in just to make some money, and their quality was not very high before. Even after seeing the powerful strength of the eunuchs in flowery clothes, there were still many people who were lucky enough to get away with it.

In response, Li Xuan sneered and replied as a matter of course:
"Of course, we'll let them have a taste of the Ministry of Internal Affairs' methods."

“Although we are doing good things, we are definitely not a charity organization.”

"After all, we're just a weird underground gang, aren't we?"

Li Xuan looked at Princess Ankang and asked back.

Princess Ankang nodded, but it didn't make any sense to her.

Killing a chicken to scare the monkey is a necessary measure, let alone dealing with those evil guys.

Although Princess Ankang is kind, she has her own bottom line and is definitely not overly loving.

"In that case, there will be even fewer team members, right?"

"Do you need additional personnel?"

The Red Scarf Team didn't recruit many members at the beginning, and after eliminating a batch of them, their organization became even more confusing.

"No rush, take your time."

Li Xuan was not sure either, so he wanted to develop the Red Scarf Team slowly.

Although Princess Ankang said she was unwilling, she was still very concerned about the development of the Red Turban Team.

After all, she is the captain in name only.

Li Xuan also followed her request and really set up an underground gang that would not harm the people.

If possible, Princess Ankang also hopes that the Red Scarf Team can develop well so that one day she can proudly wear that badge and declare herself the captain of the Red Scarf Team.

But if Li Xuan wants to welcome such a day, he still needs to work harder.

……

After returning to Sihai Casino, the three little ones went straight to Zhu Shimin.

Our newly appointed deputy captain of the Red Scarf Team was also given an important task by Li Xuan.

Zhu Shimin also wore a similar emblem on his left arm as Princess Ankang's, but it was simpler. It also had three stripes, but it only had a snowflake mark decorated with flame patterns, and no cat's paw mark.

Although they both have three stripes, the difference in the captain-in-chief logo can be seen at a glance in the workmanship and details.

As for the captain, squadron leader and team leader below, they are just three bars, two bars and one bar, without details like snowflake marks and cat's paw prints, and the workmanship is also rougher.

As for ordinary members of the Red Scarf Team, the only identification they have is the red scarf tied around their necks.

At this time, Zhu Shimin was busy with a pile of account books and didn't even notice the three little ones came in. He also had dark circles under his eyes, obviously having stayed up all night for several nights.

"Xiaominzi, how is the account settled?"

Li Xuan jumped to Zhu Shimin's side and patted his shoulder with his tail.

When Zhu Shimin saw that it was Li Xuan, he let out a long breath.

"Sir, according to your idea, it should be feasible to implement it."

"But it may take several months."

Li Xuan nodded slightly to Zhu Shimin's answer.

"I'm not afraid of taking a long time."

"What about the loss in profits?"

Li Xuan asked next.

Zhu Shimin shook his head solemnly: "Even if we follow your idea, the loss of profits is still more than 30%. After all, some people only recognize those places that are not in compliance with the regulations."

Li Xuan's idea is actually very simple, which is to make all the illegal businesses he currently has legal as much as possible and pay taxes according to legal businesses.

Anyway, taxes are paid to the national treasury, which is also the pocket of Emperor Yongyuan.

Of course, Emperor Yongyuan also had to make some arrangements for this part, otherwise he would only be able to eat what others had left.

But with Princess Ankang's identity as the royal silver envoy, she could pay taxes directly into the royal private treasury.

They may even just pay taxes in name only, and then simply skip the tax payment step in exchange for legal status.

By then, they would no longer have to pay tribute to other government offices with their underground industries, and they would not have to worry about anyone finding fault with them in an official capacity.

But just like what Zhu Shimin said, some people just like excitement, and even if it is legally operated, they still won’t come to consume.

"We'll take it slow. Anyway, the business is in our hands now. Even if there are competitors in the future, we can just crush them one by one."

Li Xuan said indifferently.

Since the Money Gang gave up all its underground businesses, Princess Ankang can now be said to be in control of both the black and white sides.

As for the underworld forces, the Money Gang is capable of causing trouble for them, but the leader of the Money Gang, Chen Tan, is the biggest supporter of the establishment of the Red Scarf Team.

On the white side, there is no shortage of government offices that can cause them trouble, but the problem is that Princess Ankang has royal status and the help of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. What's more, she can launder all the business on hand, making it impossible for other government offices to cause trouble.

Only during these few months of cleansing, you need to be careful and cautious to avoid unnecessary losses.

At this time, Princess Ankang, who had been listening for a long time, said:

"Ah Xuan, if these businesses can be operated smoothly and legally, the Red Scarf Team won't have to worry about the source of funding."

"But the money to be handed over to the Emperor will probably be much less."

Princess Ankang seemed a little worried.

Li Xuan shook his head and felt that it was fine in this regard.

Compared with the wealth held by those wealthy and powerful families, the underground industries of the Money Gang are at most a bonus.

Compared with the profits of these underground industries, Li Xuan and Emperor Yongyuan care more about the fact that they can use them to extend their reach further.

"As long as the Red Scarf Team can gain a foothold in the capital, a little money won't mean much."
