Chapter 70

In ancient times, the people were ignorant and had very short-sighted knowledge, so after learning about the general content of the notice from the Shenmu Gang, most of the people thought that the Shenmu Gang wanted to find another excuse to save money.

It should be noted that although the Shenmu Gang has been based in Jitangguan for more than 20 years and has done nothing, it is a gang that often fights and kills people, and often oppresses the people, so it does not have much good impression of the people.

A few years ago, Ouyang Hu followed Tian Yunong's advice and began to charge protection fees from vendors, which made his reputation among the people even worse.

Now that the Shenmu Gang said that he wanted to build roads and ports, the people naturally could not trust and be grateful at once. They would only guess the true intentions of the Shenmu Gang from the bad aspects.

However, Yu Si went to many places for selling rice candy in his early years. After becoming a bandit, he worked as a spy for nearly ten years. However, his knowledge was more than that of ordinary people and his thoughts were different.

In his opinion, if the Shenmu Gang wants to make money, there is no need to be such trouble.

The most important thing is that if the Shenmu Gang acts differently in the future, it would not be like slapping himself in the face?

As someone said before, does Ouyang Ye want to be shameless?

It should be noted that being accused of being as famous as Xiang’s family may make people disgusted, but they will not look down upon them very much; but if they speak and do things at the same time, then their prestige will be gone and they will make people laugh.

Yu Si has known Ouyang Ye a lot in the past few days, and feels that this young gang leader is definitely not the kind of short-sighted person.

"If you really want to build roads, ports, and work for the people, then this Ouyang Gangmaster has a great ambition. He is not very good at all compared to the Xiang family's father and son."

With a sigh of emotion in his heart, Yu Si withdrew from the crowd and picked up the candy carry not far away. Seeing the disciples of the Shenmu Gang who were guided not far away, he followed the other party's guidance and set up a stall outside the town entrance to sell rice candy.

As for the situation in the town, he believed that there would be a very lively person going to watch it and come back to brag, and he would naturally know it at that time.

···

There are five halls under the Shenmu Gang Muxing. Each hall usually has ordinary people taking turns to rest and stay in the Shenmu Trading Courtyard to practice martial arts and practice martial arts.

Ouyang Ye gathered these gang members, as well as those who were on the go on a recession in Litang, Gambling Hall, Weitang, and Zhengtang, and obtained more than 150 people in total.

On the day of the announcement, he brought these brothers to the town to remove the garbage and carry out a major cleaning.

Of course, those who are superior nowadays need to be majestic, so he is just a commander and does not really participate in the work.

Because Ouyang Ye has promised a reward, even though most gang members don’t understand why they have to do this big cleaning, they are still working hard.

Early in the morning, the Shenmu Gang blocked several entrances and exits of the town and asked several teams of gangs to clean up the streets. The people were unwilling to provoke these men in the world, so they closed the door, but some people were inevitably curiously peeping outside through the cracks or walls.

For example, the Huang family, both father and son were stepping on the ladder and lying on the wall.

"What are you here to see? Get back to study!" Mr. Huang turned his head and frowned and scolded him when he saw his son appearing out of the side.

However, the young master of the Huang family was not afraid of him, so he immediately said back: "Why can't you watch me if you can watch me? I have to watch it."

Mr. Huang is the only son, and Mr. Huang is a bit doting, so when he saw that he was not effective, he actually explained patiently: "I'm looking at whether they will pry open my shop. If one of the silks is thrown, they will lose at least several taels of silver. At that time, I felt so distressed."

Young Master Huang laughed and said, "Even if they really pried the door and took away the silk, can you still dare to stop it?"

After hearing what his son said, Mr. Huang's face turned red and choked for a few breaths before he forced himself to say, "I have also talked with Chen Yan about business and drinking tea. If these people from the Shenmu Gang dare to touch my shop, I will definitely go to Chen Yan to talk to him!"

"Shh!" Young Master Huang suddenly made a gesture of silence and said with a wink: "Dad, the people from the Shenmu Gang are here, be careful they hear it!"

Mr. Huang was so scared that his body shook and almost fell off the ladder.

When he looked around nervously, he saw that the Shenmu Gang showed his head far away and was far away from here. It was impossible to hear him talking. When he looked at his son's happy smile, he immediately realized that he had been fooled by his son again.

In amazement, Mr. Huang became hard again and scolded, "You unfilial son, why don't you go down? If you can't get into the scholar next year, I will...I won't give you pocket money!"

After hearing that Mr. Huang used pocket money to threaten, Mr. Huang was a little restrained, but he still refused to go on.

He said seriously: "Father, don't force me to take the exam for a scholar? I've been a child student since I was thirteen and have failed all three exams in eight years. What does it mean? It means I don't have that fate!"

"Besides, if you pass the scholar exam, you will have to pass the Juren level. Jiang Bai from Wuliu Village knows that? He was the leader of the Shizhou Prefecture Examination at the age of fifteen, and he won the scholar as the second place in the Academy exam. He was once famous throughout Shizhou Prefecture."

"How is he now? He wasted 10 or 20 years in the provincial examination, but he ended up inexplicably not being able to participate in the imperial examination for the rest of his life! According to his son, the road to the imperial examination is simply not feasible for those of us who have poor literary style!"

Mr. Huang is not as eloquent as his son, not to mention that his son knows very little about the matter on the imperial examination, so after hearing this, he could only glar at him and ask: "What do you want to do? Wait for me to die and inherit my family property, be a small landlord and a small merchant?"

Young Master Huang seemed to be unable to hear what the old father was obviously scolding him, and said confidently: "Don't worry, father, your son is not the kind of person who is busy waiting to die. I don't want to take the exam for a scholar, but I don't want to inherit your family business."

"Then what the hell do you want to do?!"

"Son thought..." Young Master Huang stopped saying this, but a team of Shenmu Gangs came to his shop.

Mr. Huang also noticed this scene and immediately diverted his attention and stared nervously at the men holding brooms, hoes, shovels, rakes and other tools.

"The surrounding area of ​​this Huang Family Silk and Satin Village is quite clean." Someone smiled.

Another gang member followed and said, "Huang Laocai is famous for his fineness in Jitang Pass. How could people dirty the street in front of his shop and affect business?"

Then a man who was obviously the leader said, "Okay, don't say anything. Even if there is no garbage, the ground must be leveled. If you sweep the dust, you must also pull up the rope according to the regulations of the gang leader to make construction work. There is a lot of work, hurry up and do it."

After saying that, I took the lead in doing it.

The word trash came from Ouyang Ye’s mouth today. The gang members understood what it meant, so when they heard the leader say it, they all started to work.

Each of their teams has a mission area. The gang leader said that if you work quickly and well, you will be rewarded. If you work hard and unsatisfied, you will have to deduct the reward.

So, everyone works very carefully.

However, this group of people didn't know that on the wall of the Huang family's courtyard not far away, Mr. Huang and Mr. Huang glared at them in surprise after hearing their words and seeing their serious and hardworking appearance when they were working.
