Gao Tai didn't know much about the history of the Republic of China and knew nothing about business. As a little shrimp in the martial arts reincarnation space, if he wanted to complete the task, he had to live well in this world in the late Qing Dynasty.

In this era when guns and cannons were far more powerful than martial arts, the basis for living well was to be rich and powerful. Even though Gao Tai did not know how to do business and politics, he thought about it and decided to form cliques and start the tap water business first.

In the late Qing Dynasty, even before the founding of New China, residents of large and small cities in China still made a living by eating well water. Those with conditions dig a well at their own homes, while those without conditions could only go out and share a well water with many families.

In this era of low productivity, water needs to be carried once a few days. If you wash clothes and bathe, you have to be carried several times a day. The water-carrying work of ordinary families is pressing on the shoulders of housewives.

Gao Tai pointed to the water well in Shazilongyuan and said, "Teacher, I want to sell water to our households in Xi'an City. Do you think this business can be done?"

Carrying water before tap water was born was a necessary skill for people to produce and live, and water wells were also essential items in life.

If Gaotai decided to set up a gang to deliver water specifically to others, it seemed very useful, but it was actually difficult for China to have a market for a low-productive agricultural society.

Due to social reasons, housewives will take care of housework, and wealthy families will have servants. The manpower is low and the money is expensive, so it is difficult to sell when delivering water to the door. Sha Zilong is not optimistic about Gao Tai's idea.

Worried that the younger generation who was optimistic about went astray, Sha Zilong asked back: "Shengzi, do you know the salary of a hard worker in Xi'an for a day?"

Gao Tai scratched his head and said, "I'm about ten or twenty, I guess I can earn more quickly, usually only a hundred and ten cents."

"Yes." Sha Zilong put away his snuff bottle and said in a deep voice, "There are more than 200,000 people in Xi'an City, 200,000 or 30,000 households, and only a few hundred households with a large amount of investment. The remaining rich and poor are uneven, but you ask them to buy water? Hey, one son and two sons may not be willing to do it! Tell me how to do this business?"

Gao Tai's face changed when he heard this, and he was silent for a while, saying, "What the teacher taught me is that it was the student Meng Lang. However, the students said that selling water is not the well water in ordinary water wells, but the good water in sweet water wells. You said, if the water we sent is boiled and the water is low and sweet, will anyone be willing to buy it?"

After all, Sha Zilong is a businessman who runs an escort agency and works as an inn. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "You are right. If you send it, it is sweet water and good water, you won't have to worry about selling it. However, there are not a thousand water wells in our Xi'an City and five hundred. There are not many sweet water wells. Where can you find it?"

Gao Tai smiled and said, "Student, I have my own tricks. You said I want to get sweet water. Can you do it?"

Sha Zilong stroked his beard and smiled, "It's done."

"Haha, you can just wait for two days and I'll give you the first car of good water!"

Gao Tai laughed and said goodbye to Teacher Sha and left.

After leaving Nancheng Inn, Gao Tai went straight to Chen Ergou's house. After crossing two streets, Gao Tai walked into a twisted alley. It took a long time to find Chen Ergou's house deep in the alley.

"Ergou, are you at home?" Gao Tai shouted after looking at the low and dilapidated courtyard wall.

"Who?" Chen Ergou's voice sounded in the yard.

"I!"

"Oh! It's Brother Sansheng here, Datou, Third Brother, Lao Ma..."

Chen Ergou opened the yard door as he spoke and looked at Gao Tai with surprise.

With a burst of rapid and chaotic footsteps, three men walked out of the main hall quickly. They bowed to Gao Tai from a distance, shouting "Brother Sheng! Brother San Sheng!"

Gao Tai quickly stepped in, returned the salute in a hurry, and said with a smile: "Third brother, Datou, Lao Ma, we brothers have nowhere to meet."

Liu San, since Datou and Ma Wenming were the best friends with Wang Sansheng when they were in the early escort agency. Among them, Datou and Ma Wenming had a few less martial arts skills, so they were not considered serious escort masters. Only Liu San's slingshot had some real skills.

Liu San is thin and in his forties, with a slingshot over one meter long on his waist. Cong Datou looks dull and a little fat, and doesn't look very smart.

Ma Wenming is the oldest and looks almost fifty years old. He has dark skin and a loyal face.

The four of them were talking in a verbal manner. Chen Ergou had already closed the door and walked in, saying, "Several people, let's talk well in the house."

Chen Ergou lost his father in his early years, and only one mother was taken away by his elder brother for taking care of her because of poor health. So he was the only one who lived in the family, which seemed very dilapidated and messy.

Walking into the house, Chen Ergou found a few horses and sat down for the people, and then said, "Brother Sansheng, I told them what you meant just now, and brothers and others are willing to do it with you."

Liu San said: "Yes, our escort agency is gone, and the world is not good now. Everyone is not good except for playing boxing and selling skills, but also looking for help from Teacher Sha. It's really a coward. Brother Sheng, you want to form an association. I think it's a good thing. At least no one can bully us in a gang..."

Ma Wenming and Cong Datou also echoed, and then Ma Wenming asked, "Brother, I heard from Ergou that you can find a serious job for us all?"

Gao Tai smiled lightly when he heard this, then looked at the four people with a mysterious smile, and said, "Yes, you all know that my family was originally wealthy. My great-grandfather also worked as the Qianlong General of the Daizhou Foreign Affairs Commission. It's a pity that my father and my two uncles failed to inherit the family business. Now all my elders have gone there, but they all lived to their forties and fifties. Our world is not good now, and the old man is not short of his life. Our Wang family is the eldest son. We have two houses. Among them, there is a deep well in the old house bought by the great-grandfather. This well is more than 30 meters deep. Although the water inside is not sweet, it is not bitter. It is much better than the well water that is more than ten meters deep outside. Let's dig the water from the well in my yard for sale..."

Liu San asked: "If the water is delicious, it will be sold, but what price should we sell? By pound or by raising?"

Gao Tai took the coarse porcelain tea bowl handed by Chen Ergou, looked at the two green leaves floating in the bowl, took a sip but didn't smell the tea. He put down the bowl and said, "San brother, good question. Our water is not worth much, but we have to charge some manual fees to deliver the water to other people's water tanks, otherwise what should we eat? I think it's calculated based on the size of water tanks on the market. A small tank is one penny, the bigger the price, the more expensive it is. We can discuss the price again. What do you think?"

Chen Ergou rubbed his hands and said, "We need a water truck to deliver water. I think we can just go to Teacher Sha to ask for two used escort cars to change it."

"Okay, that's it, we..."

The five people became more and more excited as they spoke. After a while, they improved the preparation and operation of water sales. Chen Ergou saw the setting sun outside and asked: "Since we need to do some business, we must have a charter and rules, and we can divide the seats and the highest levels. This is how we can do things. I wonder what the three of us mean?"

Liu San and the other two patted their chests and agreed, and asked from the big head: "Ergou, we must have a name for our association."

Chen Ergou turned his head and asked, "Brother Sansheng, what name do you think our gang will be called?"

Gao Tai slapped the table and said, "Brothers, we have four goals to form a society, one is to unite and protect ourselves, the second is to support our family, the third is to inherit and orderly, and the fourth is to save the country and help the people. We are all from Teacher Sha. His most famous one is the Five Tigers Broken Soul Spear. The gun is the king of hundreds of soldiers. If we have the aura of the world, we have to respect Teacher Sha and the court. In my opinion, our organization will call the National Savior Spear Club!"

"The spear will save the country...hey! A good name." Liu San thought about it twice, his eyes lit up, and he said, "The court is declining and foreigners are rampant. We should protect our own homes and protect the country!"

Chen Ergou laughed and said, "What a great spear club to save the country. From now on, Brother Sansheng will be the chief slug of our spear club to save the country. Let's go to win over other brothers tomorrow."
