Chapter 412 Wudang Taoist (Subscription Request)
"Hahaha, Brother Jia, you did a great job!"
At the Yuezhou branch of the Beggars' Gang, the helmsman Zhang Jinbie laughed out loud with a face full of joy.
"This time, I have owed Wudang a favor!"
Looking at Jia Huan, he was full of praise: "When the gang leader knows, let me praise you and let you have another sack!"
"Thank you, gang leader, thank you, helmsman!"
Jia Huan's face was full of 'joy', he stood up and bowed, saying: "It's just luck that I encountered it!"
"No need to be modest!"
Zhang Jinbie waved his hand and said: "If other incense halls encountered such a thing, how could they have such a quick reaction as you, and have such a decisive and unusual attack?"
"After all, the name of Wudang Sect is still very intimidating, and few incense masters dare to be as fierce as you!"
Jia Huan smiled slightly and didn't say anything, but he felt a little weird. Why did he feel that Zhang Jinbie's words were scolding him for being a reckless man?
It has been five days since he dealt with the guys from the Jianghe Gang across the river.
He immediately reported the news to Zhang Jinge and reminded his immediate superior that he could take this opportunity to do a favor for Wudang Sect.
Unexpectedly, this guy really listened to the advice and told the gang leader Jie Feng about the matter.
When Jia Huan received the summons from Zhang Jinge and came to the branch hall, he learned about the actions of the gang leader Jie Feng. He had already sent a letter to the head of Wudang Sect Chongxu Taoist about this matter.
This time, the one who was rude was the peripheral forces of Wudang Sect. Even if Wudang Sect didn't know, so what?
Anyway, the incident happened, and the letter from the gang leader Jie Feng directly confirmed the matter. Wudang Sect had no choice but to recognize this favor. This is the human relationship in the world of Jianghu.
Jia Huan didn't expect that he would become a four-bag disciple of the Beggar Gang with the help of this merit.
At least his status in the gang at this time is already worthy of the position of the incense master.
Before, he could only be regarded as a joke in the branch. Do you really think he didn't know?
But as time went by, and the development momentum of Huarong Xiangtang was good, some senior disciples in the branch had the idea of picking peaches.
The excuse was easy to find. Jia Huan was only a three-bag disciple before, and it was a bit of a stretch to become a county incense master.
But now, the situation is completely different, and Jia Huan doesn't have to worry about this at all.
Of course, he has never worried about the position. It's just that he has made contributions to the gang at this time, and it's not easy for the senior disciples of the branch to snatch it openly.
Knowing that Zhang Jinbie has been very busy recently, and he is not very interested in the atmosphere of power struggle and open and secret struggle in the branch, he quickly said goodbye and left.
After the story of "Swordsman" began, Zhang Jinbie appeared for the first time at Liu Zhengfeng's Jinpen Washing Hands Conference.
At that time, he was already the deputy leader of the Beggar Gang, a first-class master with a great reputation in the world.
At this time, Zhang Jinbie was already a seven-bag disciple of the Beggar Gang, and his martial arts had reached a quasi-first-class level, so he naturally began to compete for the position of deputy leader.
But it is not so easy to go further.
The contradictions within the Beggars' Sect are quite serious. If they are not careful, they may fall apart.
Jia Huan was too lazy to care about these. This is the good thing about being in the Jianghu. As long as you are strong enough and don't show obvious flaws, it is not easy for you to be targeted by your own people or outsiders.
Just after returning to the Chenghuang Temple, where Xiangtang is stationed, a strange news came.
The leader of the Jianghe Gang, who had just undergone three days of labor reform at the dock, invited Jia Huan to meet on the river.
Is this, it?
Jia Huan agreed directly. He wanted to know what the other party was thinking?
As for whether there would be danger, isn't that a joke?
The practice of "Hunyuan Gong" was a step-by-step procedure, but the breathing method he had long been accustomed to had allowed his physical fitness to start sprinting towards the peak state of ordinary people again.
Because of the dangers of the world of Laughing Proudly in Jianghu, he did not let his physical fitness improve little by little like the world of Red Mansions, and then naturally reach the level of transcendence.
After his body returned to normal, he practiced Qi and Blood Martial Arts.
With his martial arts realm, he easily reached the level of Huajin.
With the basic Qinggong body skills provided by the Beggars' Sect, it was quite easy to walk on the river.
As long as the Qi and blood in his body were not declining, he could run on the river.
With such means, how could he worry about the guys from the Jianghe Gang playing tricks during the meeting?
When the agreed time came, Jia Huan took the two Xiangtang brothers and went directly to the river by boat.
The leader of the Jianghe Gang, who had just been released, had been waiting for a long time by boat.
When he saw Jia Huan coming, the look on his face was extremely unnatural, and it was obvious that Jia Huan had brought him a lot of shadows.
However, he still squeezed out a warm smile, exchanged a few words and went straight to the point.
It didn't surprise Jia Huan, it was exactly the cooperation he imagined.
In fact, he was mentally prepared for this!
Originally, when the leader of the Jianghe Gang was still in labor reform at Huarong Wharf, he instructed the Xiangtang brothers to arrange reliable people to whisper something in his ear.
The content is very simple, which is to express disdain for the Jianghe Gang's actions. They clearly have a mountain of treasure but don't know it.
Jianli, where the Jianghe Gang is located, and Huarong, where Xiangtang is located, are across the river from each other. They can completely complement each other in terms of material transactions, and the profit alone is not a small amount.
Previously, such business was completely controlled by local gentry and wealthy families. Neither Huarong Xiangtang nor the Jianghe Gang had such awareness and ideas.
Of course, the dead ghost Wu Xiangzhu's ability is average, and he is focused on making quick money by doing evil ways. He can't compete with the local gentry and nobles in Huarong, so let's not talk about it.
But after Jia Huan became the Xiangzhu of Huarong, the situation was very different.
Under his leadership and management, the tentacles of Xiangtang penetrated into the lowest level, and had a strong appeal to the lower-level people. With the support of Xiangtang's military force, it was enough.
It is entirely possible to make huge profits in the form of material trade with the help of the Yangtze River waterway.
As long as there is enough money and food in hand, the development speed of Xiangtang can be faster and faster.
For example, provide medicated food and medicated baths to Xiangtang's formal disciples to assist their practice!
After all, the Beggars' Gang is a gang in the rivers and lakes, and it emphasizes strength, but there are not so many twists and turns.
As long as the disciples' strength is reached, they can naturally be promoted to the corresponding position.
Coincidentally, Jia Huan has quite a lot of experience in martial arts guidance, and can even be called a master.
As long as there is no major accident, and Jia Huan is given five years to slowly accumulate and settle, Huarong Xiangtang can not only cultivate first-class masters, but also second-class masters.
The second-class masters of the Jianghu in the world of Xiaoao are the strength of Linghu Chong after the story begins, which is already quite good, enough to be compared with the core elite disciples of the Five Mountains Sword Sect.
At that time, if Jia Huan cannot squeeze into the upper echelons of the Beggar Gang, the group of confidants he personally trained will not agree, which is an open conspiracy.
It’s just that if you want to train your brothers, various resources are indispensable.
In fact, Jia Huan thinks that the Six Gates and the Jinyiwei are more in line with his needs!
After all, these two powerful institutions under the court have absolutely massive resources!
He is even confident that he can use massive resources to mass-produce first-class masters in the Jianghu!
Unfortunately, the Six Gates and the Jinyiwei are both government institutions, and the struggle for power and intrigue inside are too serious, and Jia Huan has no intention of getting involved. ,
This is not the case. The only way to gain money is through cooperation with the Jianghu gangs.
Soon, Jia Huan reached an agreement with the leader of the Jianghe Gang, and the two gangs will trade with each other.
It is not that high-end. In fact, it is to ship the specialties of Jianli, where the Jianghe Gang is located, directly to the river, and then ship the specialties of Huarong back to make a profit from the price difference.
Of course, although it is just a business across the river, ordinary small businessmen really don’t have the courage to intervene.
Just collecting local specialties is not something that small businessmen can do.
Although the development of the urban class in the middle and late Ming Dynasty was quite good, it had not yet reached the point where productivity exploded and all kinds of goods and specialties could be seen everywhere.
In other words, the local specialties and commodities that can be sold for money are basically monopolized by landlords and gentry unless the profit is very small and the supply is unstable.
And the Huarong Xiangtang of the Beggar Gang and the Jianghe Gang just have such strength, which is the basis for cooperation, otherwise everything is empty talk.
"Master Jia, happy cooperation!"
The leader of Jianghe Gang breathed a sigh of relief and said to Jia Huan with a fake smile.
"Haha, I hope you can keep your promise!"
Jia Huan chuckled, nodded and planned to leave directly.
After all, there was unpleasantness before. If they continued to stay together, I'm afraid the other party would be very awkward.
It's convenient for others to be convenient for yourself. Why make everyone unhappy!
But just when he was about to leave, the leader of Jianghe Gang suddenly said: "Master Jia, I have a Taoist priest from Wudang who wants to meet you!"
When he said this, his eyes flickered and he was a little uneasy.
It seemed that he was afraid that Jia Huan would not agree and delay the business of the big boss behind him.
So that's it!
Jia Huan suddenly realized that he had been a little confused before. The behavior of the leader of Jianghe Gang was not in line with common sense at all. It turned out that he was prompted by the Taoist priest of Wudang Sect.
If it were him, if he had just been humiliated for a while, even if he was eager for greater benefits and was not blinded by hatred, he would not have initiated an active invitation in just a few days.
Are you kidding? Even if the Jianghe Gang is just a small county-level gang, they still have to save face, okay?
If Jia Huan didn't feel that his martial arts could control the other party, he would definitely not come easily.
"Oh, I didn't expect that a Taoist priest from Wudang would come in person. I have to go and pay my respects to him!"
Jia Huan narrowed his eyes slightly, and nodded in the other party's expectant and nervous eyes, saying: "Then go and meet him, don't let the Taoist priest wait for too long!"
The leader of the Jianghe Gang was overjoyed. Without saying a word, he rowed the boat himself and took Jia Huan's fishing boat directly back to the dock controlled by his family. It can be clearly seen that an old Taoist priest in a green Taoist robe has been waiting for a long time.
"I don't know what the name of the chief is?"
When the fishing boat docked, Jia Huan jumped up and walked to the old Taoist priest in a few steps.
This old Taoist priest has a good look of immortality, which is very intimidating.
"I didn't expect that my friend is so young, but I don't know how strong he is?"
