Fang Zhou, I'm just a farmer, not Shennong!

The reason why Lu Yuan asked the Rat King to help him with this matter.

This is because, as the king of the entire slum, the Rat King’s power and spies have already spread throughout the entire slum and even the entire Longmen.

If he ignored everything and didn't take anything into consideration, the so-called underworld forces in the entire slum would not have the qualifications to challenge the Rat King and would be easily wiped out. However, the Rat King did not do so because he took the cost into consideration.

Of course you can promote yourself.

But the publicity is definitely not as strong as that of the Rat King.

Moreover, even if it was publicized, no one would know whether it was promoted by the Rat King. Even if one could guess, where is the evidence?

There is no evidence whatsoever.

Unless the video of Lu Yuan and the Rat King's face-to-face plan is produced as evidence, or the Rat King admits it himself, there is no evidence to prove it.

"I'll have my men do it."

Lin Gerui nodded, lowered his eyes and glanced at the darkness, as if ordering his deputy hiding in the dark to do this now.

Feeling the people in the dark leave.

Only then did Lu Yuan stand up with a smile.

"Then I'll go first, Uncle Lin."

"Let's have a meal before we go. Yuxia is on a business trip. Since you've finally come here, just treat it as chatting and chatting with an old man like me."

"Okay, Uncle Lin~"

Seeing that the Rat King said this, Lu Yuan naturally sat down again. He didn't have anything else to do today anyway, so it would be nice to chat with the Rat King.

When the Rat King saw that Lu Yuan stayed, his small eyes suddenly curved, his eyebrows curved, and his eyes were full of kindness as an elder looks at a younger person.

He stood up and went to the front of the store and grabbed a handful of candy with a tray. There was no artificial sweetener in it, only real, expensive sugar.

The Rat King is quite efficient.

The day after Lu Yuan visited the Rat King.

In addition to the six blocks controlled by Lu Yuan, rumors gradually spread in the other twenty blocks in the entire Blood Hand Gang area.

of course.

It can't be called gossip.

After all, it has long been no secret that all the people in the six blocks controlled by Lu Yuan are gradually living a good life.

However, people don’t know what kind of good day this is, but these "rumors" have spread the specific process of this good day in detail.

Block 74

As the weather gradually turned colder, the increasingly thin clothes on the refugees were no longer enough to bring them any warmth. The cold wind blew through the torn clothes, and the icy cold immediately hit their fat-free bodies, making people shiver from the cold.

"Damn, wasn't the block next door taken over by Mr. Lu recently? All the gangs there surrendered obediently, and guess what? Ha! Mr. Lu gave everyone free cotton-padded jackets! And warm blankets! And free food three times a day. I heard from my friends there that in the morning, they had a big bowl of steaming rice porridge with pickles, which was really delicious. At noon, they had a bowl of white rice, and at night, they had a bowl of rice porridge."

"!!!"

When the people around heard this, they immediately became excited.

"Holy crap! What kind of heavenly life is this? It must be so comfortable, waking up to get free rice porridge, and free cotton clothes and bedding! Is this true..."

Someone nearby also said: "Of course it's true, I've been there, and I really am receiving it."

"You don't know that this is already the worst. Only the poorest people are receiving it."

"Do you know how prosperous Mr. Lu's earliest territories, especially Block 79, were?!"

"Factories! High-rise buildings! Shopping malls! Vegetable markets!"

"Almost everyone in Block 79 has a job. Some work in the factory, eight hours a day, and earn 3000 Longmen coins a month. Some work in Mr. Lu's fields, and the pay is about the same. I heard from a relative there that one performed so well in the fields that Mr. Lu personally promoted him to team leader, and promised him even higher pay in the future if he continued to perform well. Do you know how much he earns a month?"

"How many?!"

More and more people gathered together, and soon there were hundreds of people.

"Ha! I'll tell you this and you'll be scared to death. Last month was a huge harvest! The team leader earned 10,000 Dragon Gate coins. Even on a less-than-stellar day, we still earn 7,000 Dragon Gate coins a month!"

"what!!!"

For an instant.

The whole audience was in an uproar, and all the refugees around stared with their mouths wide open.

"How can I spend all this? Even if I eat meat every day, I still can't spend it all. I finally spend a month's money, and it's not all spent yet, and next month's money comes again. It's really annoying."

"I heard he has a lot of young and beautiful girls chasing him now. He renovated his house, bought some appliances, and eats meat every meal. I heard from him that I've been eating too much meat lately, which is unhealthy, so he wants to lose some weight and stop eating meat."

Many people around were already drooling after hearing this. For them, even if they could have a full meal, they would be lucky enough, let alone eating meat. However, they were also in the slums and were also refugees, but they were already tired of eating meat.

"Also, there's the treatment of the infected..."

A large number of people under the Rat King's power were traveling through various blocks, desperately trying to spread propaganda for Lu Yuan. Among them were not only non-infected people, but also infected people.

Many infected people in the neighborhood were also extremely excited after hearing this.

What excited them most was that Mr. Lu spent a huge amount of money to hire a professional mineral disease expert from abroad to provide free medical treatment and medicine to all infected people. Some infected people almost died, but survived because of the medicine.

In short, there are a lot of rumors.

Most importantly, the biggest disadvantage of rumors is that they are just rumors.

However, the rumors about Lu Yuan and the six blocks are not just rumors, but are based on facts.

This also makes these rumors more and more true.

People in many areas where the news came from were very eager to see the good man Lu, especially in the cold winter. They were particularly looking forward to him coming.

At the same time, there were more rumors among the major gangs.

For example, Lu Yuan has a very powerful background, and it is only a matter of time before he dominates the entire slum in the future. The Minliang created by Lu Yuan will be a benchmark for the Longmen Guard Bureau.

The leaders of the two gangs who originally joined the Minliang Association have become veterans and senior leaders, and their status is extremely high.

The salaries of ordinary employees in the Minliang Association are also quite high...

When these small incidents were introduced into the small gangs, many of the middle and high-level and even lower-level members in the small gangs began to feel confused.

Some small gangs simply suggested that their bosses take the initiative to join the Minliang Association, taking advantage of the fact that there are not many gangs in the Minliang Association and occupying a position as soon as possible.

After all, those who are in gangs know it best.

The veterans of any force, even if they become bad in the future, will live a very comfortable life.

Many small gang leaders were tempted to do so, especially after hearing that the former leader of the small Greedy Wolf Gang in Block 79, 'Dwarf Tornado', had become one of the heads of the Minliang Association's security management department, and his status had risen sharply.

Legend has it that he once had dinner with Mr. Lu and the two men from the Imperial Guards, the 'Dragon Across the River' and the 'Big-Throated Tiger'.

Legend has it that the two of them even had dinner with Mr. Lu and the Rat King!

What the hell!

What black and white? !

The underworld is just the underworld after all.

The biggest dream of any underworld force is to dominate both the black and white.

These true and false rumors made many leaders of small gangs feel itchy, especially those gangs whose subordinates wanted to surrender to Lu Yuan.

The leaders of those small gangs are already fantasizing that they will become powerful and influential following Mr. Lu, and that the former Blood Hand Gang, Black Tower Society, and Red Flower Society will have to call them "Master XX" when they see them.

It's more than just scenery.

so...

Before the Minliang Association took action, several gangs had already taken the initiative to go to Block 79 to seek humbly for support.

After all, dependence on someone is not dependence.

When you work as a dog for the Blood Hand Gang, not only do you have to pay a large amount of protection fees, but you also don't get any benefits. But when you work as Mr. Lu's dog, your status will rise dramatically.

Those leaders who had finally prepared themselves mentally and actively sought out the Minliang Association were surprised to find that they were not the only ones, and that there were already gang leaders they knew queuing up in front of them.

The original grudges in their hearts completely disappeared, and there was only relief.

Fortunately, I thought quickly and was able to catch a bite of hot food.

The Minliang Association is not arrogant at all.

Faced with applications to join from many small gangs, they politely and friendly accepted them, and explained the rules that needed to be followed to join the Minliang Association, and of course, the generous benefits.

When the gang leaders heard the many familiar rules, especially that the Civilian Food Association could send criminals directly to the prison of the Guard Bureau, their eyes widened.

Damn it!

Isn’t it just the slum version of the Guards Bureau!

Then, wouldn't the leader of the small Greedy Wolf Gang be equivalent to a senior superintendent, or the "dragon crossing the river"?

Holy crap! So sour!!

This has also led to more and more gangs taking the initiative to fill out application forms to join the Civilian Grain Association and go back to wait for notification.

No matter what the matter is, as long as there is a beginning, those who are hesitant behind will immediately find the direction.

Seeing that several gangs had already taken the lead, the hesitant gang leaders immediately rode their horses at full speed and rushed to the Minliang Association, fearing that the Minliang Association's "activity" would expire.

Even several gangs similar to the former "Iron Blood Gang" that occupied multiple blocks were under consideration.

the other side.

Bloody Hand Gang

"Boss!! Boss!! Something terrible is happening! Something terrible is happening!!"

Several middle and high-level officials of the Blood Hand Gang ran all the way to the Blood Hand Gang's base camp located in the center of the most prosperous block in the entire area.

When they arrived at the chief's office, the group broke in without even knocking.

"What are you arguing about?!!"

The middle-aged strong man sitting on the sofa with a cigar in his mouth was the new leader of the Bloody Hand Gang. He won among many competitors after the previous leader was captured and inherited the name "Bloody Hand".

"I heard that Mr. Lu's Minliang Association has recently received surrenders from many gang leaders, and many have already decided to join the Minliang Association!"

"Just add it."

Bloody Hand curled his lips and said, "Why would you ask me for such a trivial matter?"

"Do not..."

"We were just thinking, why don't we join in? Mr. Lu's people and grain will grow bigger and bigger now. Maybe in the future they can rival the power of the Rat King. We should take the initiative and fight for a good position."

Long after Xue Tu was captured by Lu Yuan and taken into the Guard Bureau, Lu Yuan personally visited the Blood Hand Gang in order to prevent future troubles.

Even now, no one in the Blood Hand Gang can forget the horror of Lu Yuan, which is more powerful than any rumors or gossip.

It makes it impossible for people to muster much resistance.

This is also the reason why Lu Yuan continued to grow stronger in the Blood Hand Gang's territory, but the Blood Hand Gang turned a deaf ear to him.

I can’t afford to offend you, I can’t afford to offend you, you can do whatever you want.

"Asshole!!!"

The current leader of the Blood Hand Gang, Blood Hand, was furious. He slammed his big hand hard on the solid table and roared.

All the middle and senior management present lowered their heads. They thought that their new boss was arrogant and unwilling to accept the position after just taking office. Several senior management were already thinking about how to persuade him.

I don't know.

The new boss changed the subject.

"I'm the leader of the Blood Hand Gang after all. We're the Blood Hand Gang, and we've been active in Longmen for decades! We're one of the biggest gangs in Longmen, so how can we be like those smaller gangs? Who would look down on us if we did that?"

"Let's at least... wait for Mr. Lu to personally invite us before we go."

When he said this, the confidence in Blood Hand's heart gradually disappeared.

The scene when Lu Yuan came to him before came back to his mind.

With a clap of his hands, a huge forest and a huge water dragon appeared. The terrifying spell fluctuations were so terrifying that even Blood Hand, who still had some psychological trauma, was shocked.

It is hard to imagine how terrifying it would be if such a person came to kill him. He also secretly sighed at the stupidity of his predecessor who actually thought of assassinating Mr. Lu.

Three days later...

At the enthusiastic invitation of the gang leader of Block 74, the Minliang Association was "forced" to occupy Block 74 and, according to the old rules, built a porridge shop in Block 74, issued license plates to everyone, entered information, distributed clothes and bedding, and carried out publicity.
