Chapter 17 Records of Talks with the Yellow River Gang
Shandong is full name: Shandong Xingzhongshu Province, but we are still used to calling it Shandong Road. During the reign of Taizu, the thirteen prefectures east of Taihang Mountain were assigned to Shandong Road. On the second day, our group of five set out from the capital, headed to Shandong Road, and passed by Hebei.
Hebei Province is the regular escort route of the Central Plains Escort Agency, so we only made a simple visit in Hebei, but after all, we have expanded the business scale and we have to say hello to the local black and white. Even so, it took us more than ten days.
When we entered Shandong Road, the five of us became busy and visited the local sects, green forests, governments, and wine and meat. After drinking all the way, we almost never felt sober. Fortunately, the five of us took turns to rest, and every time we drank, one of us didn’t drink.
The process of angling does not need to be detailed. Although the processes are different, in summary, they are divided into three categories. Let me briefly introduce them with the following examples of the Yellow River Gang, Dezhou Prefecture, and Tiger Village.
The Yellow River Gang is a relatively large gang in Shandong that we visited. For such regionally operated gangs, we communicated with them in a cooperative manner. The following is the record of the conversation between the Central Plains Escort Agency and the Yellow River Gang by Liu Qingfeng:
[Yang Sanbiao] The leader of the Qi gang, Sun Er, was in charge of the family, and Yang Sanbiao, the deputy chief of the escort agency in the Central Plains Escort Agency, gave him a mixed number called Xiao Yang Dart. Today, he went to Baishan. Because our Central Plains Escort Agency will be on the Shandong Road in the future, I hope the Yellow River Gang will be convenient for the future.
[Qi Haitian] It’s easy to say, it’s easy to say. The world will be in chaos recently, and the world will not be peaceful. If you take a raft on Shandong Road, the price of convenient is probably not low.
[Yang Sanbiao] Could it be that the leader of Qi Gang has something that is difficult to describe and is inconvenient to say?
[Qi Haitian] It's nothing, but the chaos has occurred frequently recently. The Yellow River Gang wants to protect the brothers from Shandong to eat and drink. Brothers feel very stressed.
[Yang Sanpiao] This brother understood that the so-called profits are made together, meat is drunk together, and women are… (Fifteen words are omitted here, Liu Qingfeng’s note). Later, the Central Plains Escort Agency came in, and we brothers advanced and retreated together.
[Qi Haitian] Brothers, I just said this to you. I have made up your friend. In this way, I only cost 10% of the profits of the Central Plains Escort Agency in Shandong. How about it?
[Yang Sanpiao] Gang leader Qi, our Central Plains Escort Agency has a small profit, the escort team's fruit chewing, and the official taxes along the way. I'm afraid we can't stand this number. You see, how about 5%?
[Qi Haitian] I only need 10% of my face to give you. If you say that, we will see the truth from behind.
[Yang Sanpiao] I have several bodyguards under my command, and I am willing to ask for advice.
The Yellow River Gang produced three masters, Liu Qingfeng, Qin Sanguan and Murong impulsively fought, and in the end, the Central Plains Escort Agency won two to one.
[Yang Sanpiao] Gang leader Qi, this is ten taels of silver. Please invite brothers to have tea. As for business, what do you think, how about 5%?
[Qi Haitian] It was decided like that. I am not a person who cares about it. Why don’t we stop drunk tonight? Come and prepare wine and food.
[Passenger A] Brother Murong is very drunk, come and I will give you another drink.
[Murong] Take your hand away.
[Qin Sanguan] This big brother, we brother doesn’t like others to touch him, so don’t be surprised.
[Passy] Oh, I didn't expect to be a rabbit.
[Murong] Why do you speak, want to die?
[Qin Sanguan] Ming teaches you not to be impulsive, the overall situation is the priority.
The next day, the group of five people said goodbye.
[Yang Sanpiao] Thank you for the entertainment last night and wish the two families a happy future cooperation.
[Qi Haitian] There are many opportunities for cooperation in the future. Today I will bring you brothers to see you off. In the future, we will definitely be able to be compatible with the travel escorts of Shandong Road. Hey, where is the passerby?
[Passenger B] I drank too much yesterday and seemed to have fallen into a cliff.
Liu Qingfeng gave the meeting record to Yang Sanpiao, and Yang Sanpiao scolded him. Is this what your Wudang administrative official *wen teaches? Go back and modify it and report it to me again.
Liu Qingfeng complained to me, Brother Sanguan, you testify, I didn’t miss a single word of what I said yesterday.
I read it and laughed in my heart. I'll give you a few words. I won't say anything else to modify it, but there are two places that you have to modify carefully. I pointed to two of the numbers.
Liu Qingfeng said I remember correctly. I checked the 10% commission and 10 taels of silver for public relations fees yesterday before I wrote it.
I knocked his head and said, "You are stupid. The 10% commission is changed to 20%, and the 10 taels of silver is changed to 15 taels of silver. The first one negotiated 20% to 5% was Yang's credit, and the later one changed to 15 taels of silver. In this way, Yang's commission will have 5 taels of extra money when making accounts in the future.
