A Min River crosses Fujian, winds through Fuzhou City, and runs eastward into the sea.

As the saying goes, "Working on the mountains and rivers and waters" has this waterway made by heaven, and countless people outside the city use boats to make a living.

In the early years, shipping was controlled by the government. Although there were some small boats among the people, they only fished and ferried, making small fuss.

However, time has changed, after the Japanese riots in the previous dynasty and the imperial court banned the sea, civil shipping finally flourished.

According to insiders, the warehouse of goods went to sea and half of the warehouse of silver docked, and the oil and water in it was so huge.

The money has come, the gangsters and corrupt officials have come.

Where there is money, there must be right and wrong, and this is true in every year.

No matter how black and white, anyone with some power is staring at this piece of fat, hoping to hold the chicken that lays golden eggs firmly in their own hands.

However, they made the wrong plan after all, and these are all people who are brave and dare to cross the waves and go to the sea to ask for food.

It would be fine if they spend a small amount of money to avoid disasters. Over the years, they have been exploiting more and more ruthlessly. How could they tolerate it?

You know, the money was not blown by the sea breeze, it was all the money they exchanged for their lives.

First, they surrounded the gangsters, then fought with the black sect, and finally drove away the cruel officials.

During repeated fighting, these people who live on ships also understand one thing - if you don’t bully others, people will bully you.

The best way to avoid being bullied or swallowed up is to join forces.

So one by one, the boat gangs appeared naturally.

Although these ship gangs have the word "gang" and have people in charge, they are different from ordinary gangs in the world.

It goes without saying that the boss of ordinary gangs is full of martial arts skills. The main purpose of learning martial arts is mostly to fight with people.

But this is not the case with these ship gang leaders.

Although they also have martial arts skills, they rarely compete with others. Most of them practice martial arts to make friends with people from the world and facilitate dealing with "green forest heroes".

The old saying goes, "Bad faults are like combs, and officials are like combs." If the underworld figures are settled, Bai Dao cannot be treated with care.

Dealing with official people and getting along differently with the underworld, it is worse than having martial arts.

After all, officials are all romantic and elegant people, and they don’t like bad martial artists. Besides, local officials make friends with martial arts masters, it is really unconventional.

In this case, having elegant talent is the key to communicating with all the masters.

So, a ridiculous scene appeared - the leaders of the ship gangs in southern Fujian Province were all possessed with unique skills!

Of course, the "special skills" here are not martial arts, but the "elegant" methods such as piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, flowers, birds, fish, tea, poetry, wine and opera.

Because it concerns everyone's livelihood, many boat gang leaders have even higher accomplishments on these paths than many serious scholars.

There are tallness and shortness. Those who are defeated will certainly be dissatisfied with this result.

"How many capable people in the world are there?"

"Even if you are playing with things and lose your ambition, there are a lot of talented and talented people who are addicted to it. How can these impure-minded guys be able to get their talents?"

"These people can make a name for themselves in southern Fujian because we are focused on the knowledge of saints. If it were not for the great way to save the world and the people, we would not allow these people to be beautiful..."

......

"There is no first in literature and no second in martial arts" is a famous saying since ancient times. Although facts are better than words, those who have been compared will always have various excuses.

However, even if he was not convinced, he was only targeting the leaders of other ship gangs. The scholars in Jiangnan were convinced by Shunfeng Tang.

People who make a living in rivers, lakes and seas all hope to make money smoothly and safely.

From the word "Shunfeng" used in this hall, we can see that this boat gang has indeed been from a long time.

Otherwise, you won't be able to get this good name.

The contemporary head of Shunfeng Hall is named Liu Zhengfeng. He was born in the Liu family in Fuqing County. He studied in the clan school and was admitted to the child.

When he was young, his mother was seriously ill. The father and son sold their houses and land and borrowed a lot of money. Unfortunately, they hired all the famous doctors nearby, but they still failed to rejuvenate their youth.

The fields and houses were all lost, and the father and son had no livelihood, so they had to join Shunfengtang together. Forty-one years passed in a flash.

Liu Zhengfeng was smart since childhood and was a child who knew the words and literate, so he was naturally different from other ordinary children.

The old man in the hall taught various skills, whether it was martial arts, mathematics, economics, or boat driving, he could understand it at one point, so he quickly gained the attention of the hall master.

Begging for food at sea is different from other businesses. If there is any mistake, it may not only lose all its money, but also die in the ocean.

In this environment, as long as you are strong enough, it will not be difficult to gain anyone's trust.

So after learning his skills, he only went out to sea several times to show his talent and gain a firm foothold in the hall.

It took Liu Zhengfeng twenty-seven years to go from a little sailor in a boat to a second-in-command in a hall.

As the deputy head of the hall, there are hundreds of brothers under his command and thousands of people who rely on the hall to make a living. It can be said that they have both power and money.

However, even if he responded, he did not show his greed for authority. Even if he had thousands of gold and silver every year, he did not embezzle a single slightest.

Everyone in Shunfeng Hall thinks that although Deputy Lord Liu is good, he is a very strange person. After all, a real man is nothing more than wine, sex, wealth and power.

Logically speaking, if a person is not good at money, power, or wine, he should at least be interested in women.

But Liu Zhengfeng is not like this. Not only is he not a woman, he doesn't even have a wife, and he is alone and has no worries.

People who have no ambitions must be aliens.

And aliens will make people feel scared, but fortunately Liu Zhengfeng is not like this.

The only thing that this man who is not greedy for profit, does not love power, and does not like lust is the musical method.

Influenced by the Meng Master, he fell in love with instrumental music since childhood. Although he later entered Shunfeng Hall, he did not let go of his interest.

After being well-off, Liu Zhengfeng looked for famous teachers and high-quality friends whenever he had time, so his attainments in music became more and more profound.

A book is made without coincidence.

Fourteen years ago, Mr. Chifeng was demoted and became the official of Fuqing County.

This Zhou Magistrate was a square person, but he was best to play the piano and zither, and he was also quite accomplished in music. After a while, the two of them actually met each other.

With this relationship, the old master directly handed over the burden to Liu Zhengfeng.

Liu Zhengfeng really lived up to the entrusted by the old hall owner. With the support of the official seal of a county, Shunfeng Hall became more and more prosperous.

My friend has the right to be rich. With the help of Liu Zhengfeng, Mr. Chifeng's political achievements are naturally not bad. He was excellent in the assessment every year, and was forced to be demoted and promoted to the position of Fuzhou magistrate.

As the chest patch turned into a white squid, Shunfengtang also took advantage of the situation and became the first ship gang in Fuzhou.

Unfortunately, Shunfengtang, the title of "Fuzhou No. 1", cannot last forever.

Because this friend of Mr. Chifeng, Liu Zhengfeng, the best music music in southern Fujian, the master of Zhongxing in Shunfeng Hall, and the sailor who cuts through the waves, is about to retreat to the world and wash his hands.
