The Four Jiaos in Kaifeng didn't know what Yang Hao was going to say, so they immediately cheered up. Yang Hao slowly said: "Four warriors were in the Bianhe River, Caihe River, Jinshui River, and Guangji Canal, gathering tens of thousands of people to make a living by shipping.
The official decree is that if you can help the court complete this important matter, you can issue official certificates to the four ship owners, officially establishing the four business operations of Bianhe River shipping, and the court's water transportation in the future.
The four boat owners were stunned for a moment after hearing this, but then they understood the meaning of the words. They were surprised and happy, and were speechless for a moment. They gathered tens of thousands of people to make a living on the river, and it was inevitable that they would be exploited and oppressed by the local governments.
Speaking of glory, it is only among the common people. In fact, it is not easy to earn a living through hard work.
Moreover, although they each occupy one of the four major canals in Kaifeng, they are far from a monopoly. It can only be said that they are the four most powerful and influential shipping owners among the four canals. If the imperial court publicly recognized their identities
, that would be very different.
As they travel around the world, the exploitation of them by local officials will be greatly reduced. Moreover, with this officially recognized status, they can escort ships and recruit thugs. They no longer have to cover up for fear of arousing suspicion from the officials. It is conceivable that once this status is
Although it is established that there are no immediate benefits, it will produce huge benefits in the long run. The power will grow stronger day by day. The results will be very different between those with official government and those without official government.
Yang Hao knew very well that as a huge organization, it managed the food, drink, and urination of tens of thousands of people, and behind these tens of thousands there were tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of old, weak, women, and children, all relying on them, even if they did not provide tangible benefits.
Either out of loyalty or fear of official power, these four shipowners were willing to go all out to serve the court, but there was absolutely no way that the tens of thousands of trackers and boatmen could do their best.
They are not puppets. Everyone has thoughts and their own interests. If there are no tangible benefits, how can they be allowed to exert unimaginable huge kinetic energy and do their best to transport food? So he persuaded the King of Wei to report to the officials
I would like to suggest that we simply admit that these four organizations are actually gangs.
Gangs have always been an unstable social factor, but gangs organized because of a special economic operating model are different. If you don't recognize them, you can't stop their de facto gang model, and because they operate for profit
It is difficult for businessmen who are gathered together to have the idea of rebellion.
On the contrary, because of the public recognition of the imperial court, they did not have to hide underground. In this way, they had to rely more on the support and cooperation with the government. On the contrary, it was easier to manage them and utilize their abilities. This is reflected in the Cao Gang, Yan Gang and the later generations.
This can be verified by the close relationship with the government.
To define it more accurately according to modern concepts, the so-called Caobang is just a logistics company that makes a living by transporting goods by water. They rely on the prosperity of the imperial court to survive, so once the country is in turmoil and the economy is depressed, it will directly affect their survival.
, they will become a civil force that firmly relies on the imperial court.
Yang Hao explained the interests to Zhao Dezhao one by one. Zhao Dezhao was not stupid. Although he was inexperienced in world affairs, he could understand Yang Hao's analysis immediately. He naturally understood what he said and immediately went to the palace to ask his father.
Please order.
After being compiled by Zhao Dezhao, his words were naturally more organized and convincing. Although Zhao Kuangyin was most afraid of anything that would shake the imperial power, he was very moved by this suggestion. In addition, the situation forced him to mobilize the four major cao gangs.
To help them with all their strength, they needed to give them a little sweetness. Secondly, Dezhao had just taken on an errand and needed to establish his authority, so Zhao Kuangyin readily agreed.
The four dragons in Kaifeng were surprised and delighted when they heard this. They asked many questions about the situation. Yang Hao answered them one by one and said with a smile: "You will probably receive the official document from the imperial court tomorrow. Yang congratulates you all here.
From now on, we can be considered colleagues.
Four big bosses, from now on, you will be the leaders of a group of people who speak the truth. I believe that the business in Kaifeng Siqu will be prosperous and prosperous, creating a great success for the country, the people, and yourself.
Achievements. Once the four gangs of Bianhe, Caihe, Jinshui and Guangji are recognized by the court, they will never be replaced due to rise and fall. The Song Dynasty is one day, the Kaifeng Water Transport Gang is one day, and the four of you are this
The founder of the four major gangs."
Yang Hao's words made the four of them flushed and excited, and the four founders gasped for a moment, almost beating their chests and shouting.
Yang Hao then explained in detail the tasks assigned to them by the court. The four of them listened carefully and wrote them down one by one. Finally, Yang Hao said: "This time to transport food, the four gang leaders each selected appropriate ships and dispatched capable personnel.
In the river race, first comers will be rewarded and late comers will be punished. Although you have a month to prepare, both the ships and the sailors have to start selecting and preparing now. Don’t delay. If you fail, you will be punished.
Yes, Yang was helpless at that time."
The four of them were full of longing and arrogance, and immediately agreed one after another. They regarded Yang Hao as their nobleman. If they had not known clearly, even if they were officially recognized by the government, their so-called Cao Gang leader would still not be as official as Yang Hao.
Compared with his official status, he had already taken him to the hall to cut off chicken heads and burn yellow paper to sworn brothers.
Yang Hao explained clearly what he had entrusted to him one by one. Chen Xiaofan, Xiao Muyu, and Liu Liu, the leaders of the Cao Gang of Caihe, Jinshui, and Guangji Sanqu, immediately left happily and went back to plan the rush. Of course, they had to do it.
The first thing he must do is to show off to his wife and close friends his new identity that he can be proud of from now on: gang leader!
There is no gang in the world, but as soon as Mr. Yang came, there was a gang leader! How did Mr. Yang come up with it? This leader sounds much more majestic than the leader!
When Yang Hao returned to his residence, he felt hungry. He had eaten a bowl of rice porridge and two side dishes in the morning, but he hadn't eaten yet.
As soon as they entered the house, Wawa and Miaomiao were greeted by two people standing next to them. However, they had just entered the house before Yang Hao. These two people were Mu Yu and Mu Yike. These two people were similar in age and temperament.
Similarly, although they often quarrel and get angry, their relationship is getting better and better. Now Yang Hao no longer needs to show off and bring guards. Sometimes he goes out alone without Mu Yu. If Mu Yike wants to go out on the street, Mu Ji will accompany her.
At this moment, the two of them had just come back, carrying a bunch of things in their hands. They turned around and saw Yang Hao, and they called out: "Sir."
"Sir, you are back." Miao Miao, with a smile as bright as a flower, walked up to the baby side by side and said.
Miao Miao now knew that the baby was going to be a good concubine and was taken into Yang Hao's private house. She was a smart and well-behaved woman. Under such circumstances, there was no reason to fight with the baby all day long.
She's so charming, it's already pretty good that my master is not fascinated by her, so how can he scold her for his own sake? With this in mind, plus the fact that the doll is generous and well-behaved, and intends to get along well with her, so the two of them
The relationship between them has been greatly improved.
Of course, because of this, she also had some girlish concerns. For example, she started to like to dress up. She no longer always looked bare-faced. She always dressed herself up handsomely, delicately and cutely, and she was also sprinkled with the best quality.
She wears a high-quality light perfume to make her smell fragrant. When talking to Yang Hao, she often uses a charming tone and charming expression, and she seems to be competing with the doll for favors on another battlefield.
As soon as Yang Hao saw the two beauties with icy skin and jade skin, they came forward to greet them, like a pair of petite and exquisite incense fan pendants, and his eyes lit up. They were really two pretty women who were both beautiful and delicious.
But he couldn't really eat it. As soon as the pleasing beauty came into his eyes, he became more and more hungry. He immediately said: "Miaomiao, go to the kitchen and prepare some dishes. Master, I am so hungry that my chest is pressed to my belly."
Already."
Miaomiao was stunned for a moment, then she laughed, agreed and ran towards the side yard.
"Sir, are you leaving Beijing?" Mu Yike and Mu Yu both ran over, while Wawa stood aside with a smile and did not rush to speak.
"Yeah, I have to leave Beijing early tomorrow morning, huh? You two... what did you buy?"
Mu Yu held a bundle of scallions in his left hand and two woks in his right hand. He nuzzled at the lotus leaf bun in Mu Yike's hand and said, "Here, that's fresh mutton stuffing. I heard from the yard that it's a dumpling."
"Xia Ma Mian, you are going on a long journey, so you have to make dumplings to eat."
"Is there such a thing?" Yang Hao was a little confused. He vaguely remembered that it was like dumplings were put on the horse and noodles were put on the horse.
Mu Yu nodded seriously: "Yes, get rid of the dumplings, because the dumplings look like Yuan Bao'er. They bring good luck and wish you a smooth journey, get rich and get promoted. Get off the dumplings, because they want to tie the legs with noodles, and let people return to their roots after falling leaves.
Piao Ling, that’s what the old courtyard said.”
"Well, let me rest my belly first, and let's eat dumplings tonight." Seeing that Mu Yu and Mu Yike were so considerate like little adults, Yang Hao felt warm in his heart.
Mu Yike said: "Well, let me make dumplings first and then pack things in the evening."
Yang Hao was stunned and said: "What are you packing?"
Mu Yike said confidently: "Go and serve the master."
Yang Hao said with both laughter and laughter: "No, the master is traveling with the King of Wei this time. How could he have such a big reputation and bring his own girl with him? You just stay at home. You have nothing to do. You can learn from Sister Miaomiao.
Taking care of business.”
"Ah, won't Master take Yue'er with him? Then... Yue'er won't be able to see Master for several months." Mu Yike reluctantly left, her big eyes immediately filled with tears.
"Silly girl, what's there to cry about? Master, I'm only going to be away for two or three months. Not only can I not take you with me, I can't even take you with me. Xiaoyu can't go either. Xiaoyu, will you cry?"
Mu Yu puffed up his chest and said loudly: "If you don't cry, a man will not shed tears if he bleeds. Since he was seven years old, Xiao Yu has not known what it feels like to shed tears."
Yang Hao smiled kindly and said, "Good boy, let's eat dumplings stuffed with mutton and green onions tonight. Go ahead and chop up all the green onions."
