At Jitangguan Wharf, sitting on the chair of the Grand Master who was moved from the Iron Line Gate compound, Ouyang Ye flipped the roster of the steward and the porter. After calculating, he found that there were more than 300 people.

In Ouyang Ye's view, Lifu is similar to a dock porter, only doing work on the dock, either moving the ship's cargo to the warehouse next to the dock, or moving the goods in the cargo to the ship.

The porter is similar to the medium and short-range transport workers, responsible for delivering goods from the wharf to various places on land, but the scope is basically limited to North Ba, and the farthest is in neighboring counties.

Most of these porters rely on shoulders to carry their backs, and only a few people can use mules, carts and other means of transporting livestock and cargo.

Judging from the list, there are more women in the foot, more than two hundred; there are fewer men in the strength, only a few more men in the strength.

But Ouyang Ye knew that there were only a few dozen porters who were waiting for work every day at the dock, but those who were strong and hundreds of people seemed more powerful.

It is said that when Liang Quan first came to Jitang Pass, he worked as a force man at the wharf. Later, he figured out the situation here, and relied on his martial arts to oppress other force man, gathered his power, and then established the iron wire gate.

"Gangmaster, the person is brought here." Chen Lai brought three people to Ouyang Ye and said.

Ouyang Ye looked over and found that these three people had their own characteristics.

Two of them dressed as a strong man, but the weather was getting colder, but they were still wearing dirty and old linen sweatshirts.

One of his body is lean, but his face is deeply wrinkled, and he looks like he is in his forties or fifties.

The other one is nearly two meters tall, strong and looks only about twenty, but his expression is a little silly.

As for the porter, he looked in his thirties, not only thin, but also smart. After coming, he nodded and bowed to Ouyang Ye, then thought of something, and bowed seriously, "Little Wang Liang, pay homage to the young leader!"

"It's the leader!" Chen Lai quickly reminded.

"Oh, yes, little Wang Liang, pay homage to the gang leader!"

The older Lifu next to him immediately bowed and said, "Gu Dachun greets the Ouyang Gang Leader."

After saying that, Gu Dachun pulled the big man's Lifu, and the big man bowed in the buzzing voice: "Gu Erchun met with the Ouyang Gang Leader."

Gu Dachun immediately explained: "Don't blame the leader of Ouyang Gang. My second brother was born stupid, not intentionally rude."

"It's okay." Ouyang Ye waved his hand and smiled, "I'm a fool before I get to know him, and I'm not as good as your second brother. I heard that you often talk to Liang Quan and the others on behalf of your husbands?"

Gu Dachun said: "It's all everyone's praise. It's because Liang Quan and the others used to exploit it too hard that we had to fight against them."

Ouyang Ye knew that the main income of the iron wire gate actually came from warehouse rental, but Jitangguan currently has so much inlet and shipment. Liang Quan dared not squeeze those merchants, but he raised more than 80 brothers, so he could only bully those strong men and porters.

This way of acting is very stupid in Ouyang Ye's opinion. It not only ruins reputation, but also can't get much hard-earned money from a strong man or a porter.

So Ouyang Ye smiled and said, "Liang Quan has really squeezed you too much, but in the future, our Shenmu Gang will take over the dock, so you won't be so miserable."

What Ouyang Ye didn't know was that his mouth was crooked but his eyes were slanted but his smile was really impossible to give people kindness.

What's more, Gu Dachun and others have heard of several major events that happened in Jitang Pass in the past two days: first there was an internal strife between the Shenmu Gang, then the Iron Wire Gang was destroyed, and then the flag bearer of the Plato Gang was punched to death.

Among these things, the protagonists are Ouyang Ye, and the others who fought with him are all dead except Deng Kui.

He has such a "glorious" deed and looks like a villain. How can he believe his kind words when he first meets him?

Gu Dachun mistakenly thought that Ouyang Ye was saying face-saving words, and even slandered them, so he quickly bowed and said, "Everyone dares not think too much, as long as Shenmu helps not to drive us away."

Seeing that Gu Dachun couldn't speak, Chen Lai scolded, "What are you talking nonsense? When did our gang leader say he wanted to drive you away?"

Gu Dachun lowered his head deeper and dared not say more.

Gu Erchun stared at Chen Lai, and his expression suddenly became fierce.

"Don't scare them." Ouyang Ye waved his hand and said bluntly: "I won't drive you away, and the transportation fee for each ship cargo will be 70% of your steward in the future. But I have a condition."

Gu Dachun first looked up and looked at Ouyang Ye in disbelief, as if he suspected that he had heard it wrong. After he came to his senses, he asked carefully: "Dare you ask the Ouyang Gang Leader, what are the conditions?"

Ouyang Ye said: "You two brothers want to join my Shenmu Gang, and the Wharf Lifu will be under the control of my Shenmu Gang in the future."

"This," Gu Dachun frowned into the character "Chuan" and said in embarrassment: "Master Ouyang Gang, many of us are unwilling to join the gang, so they are bullied by Liang Quan and the others. If you hadn't forced us to join the Shenmu Gang, it would be better to be like Liang Quan before, with the transportation fee of only 50% of us."

Although the Dayu court did not issue clear regulations, after so many years of habit, ordinary people have already determined that as long as they join a gang, no one will care about being killed, and there is no place to declare their grievances.

In recent years, the fight between the world has become increasingly serious. The world has become commonplace for tourists to die on the streets and the wilderness. Unless it is forced to force ordinary people, they are even more reluctant to join the gang.

This is what Gu Dachun and other Lifu thought.

Although Ouyang Ye was not angry after hearing Gu Dachun's words, he turned cold and said, "It's not that all the Lifus join my Shenmu Gang, but that you and your brothers join. The other Lifus are just like the wooden handles in the logging field under my Shenmu Gang, and they are governed by us. And I can tell you clearly that if I don't agree, I will definitely drive you out of the dock."

Chen Laize sneered from the side: "You strong men are just strong. When you fight, you are not even as good as your green hand. Our Shenmu Gang won't take it in a package."

Ouyang Ye's words not only resolved the misunderstanding, but also made it undisputed.

Therefore, Gu Dachun could only grit his teeth and make a decision, saying, "Since that is the case, our brother's life will be sold to the Shenmu Gang Gang. I hope the Ouyang Gang Master can keep his promise."

Ouyang Ye shook his head secretly. Gu Dachun really couldn't speak.

However, if you give Lifu and others to such people, you are not afraid of winning people's hearts like Deng Kui, gradually getting bigger and becoming more aggravated with the gang.

So Ouyang Ye said, "Don't worry, I, Ouyang Ye, always counted my words. Later, I will send an accountant and a brother to help you. You should explain the matter clearly with the Lifu and others. If anyone really doesn't want to be controlled by others, please ask them to leave immediately."

Gu Dachun probably knew that his mouth was easy to offend people, so he said more, responded to "yes" and took Gu Erchun away.

At this time, Ouyang Ye looked at the porter Wang Liang.

He knew that Wang Liang had a mule and only delivered goods around Jitang Pass, which was quite credible, so he was elected by the porters as a representative to deal with people in the gang.

Ouyang Ye opened his mouth. Before he could speak, Wang Liang seemed to have expected what he wanted to say, and smiled and said, "Gang Master, the young man is willing to join the Shenmu Gang, and other porters and young man will definitely persuade them to accept the constraints of the Shenmu Gang."

This is really a smart person. I just don’t know if he will have a strange intention like Tian Yunong in the future.

Thinking of this in my heart, Ouyang Ye did not show any appreciation or disgust towards Wang Liang, but said expressionlessly: "Since you have guessed, I won't say much. I will also send a brother to help you later. As for the account, I must share it with the Lifu."

"Also, you are a smart person, so you should know that smart people will do better than ordinary people when they work honestly; but if they have bad intentions, they will easily be doomed. Do you understand?"

Seeing that Ouyang Ye seemed to have murderous intent at the end, Wang Liang couldn't help but feel shocked and responded quickly: "The little one understands, the little one must be loyal to the Shenmu Gang!"

Ouyang Ye nodded, and Wang Liang took a few steps and turned away.

Retracting his gaze from Wang Liang's distant figure, Ouyang Ye looked at the dock.

Seeing that the pier is dilapidated, whether on the river or on the river, there are ships that need to wait to load and unload cargo every day. There are even some large ships on the river that go directly downstream, without any intention of staying here.

Ouyang Ye shook his head first, then smiled.

In his opinion, the utilization rate of this dock is too low at present and there is still a lot of potential to be tapped.

Once he has mastered the dock thoroughly, he can develop and build it.
