Chapter 482: Significant Changes

Jia Huan was not stingy with his advice to the warriors trained by the Beggars' Sect.

He did not give Lin Pingzhi any special treatment because of his identity.

But he did not expect that such behavior would prevent Lin Pingzhi from being deliberately excluded and targeted among the Beggars' Sect disciples of the same period.

This is what should be expected, there is nothing to say.

In the original novel, before Lin Pingzhi turned evil, he was a good young man with a positive outlook.

He was also very diligent in practicing martial arts, but his father Lin Zhennan was very poor in teaching martial arts.

In the Fujian branch of the Beggars' Sect, although there were female disciples, there would never be such a thing as the senior and junior brothers secretly having feelings for each other, at least that was the case with Lin Pingzhi.

All beggars, regardless of age, have experienced the beatings of society.

At the same time, they have also seen a lot of the dark side of society, and will not have inappropriate delusions at inappropriate times. This is the reality.

Lin Pingzhi was born in a wealthy family. Although he was also trained in the branch, the resources he had were completely incomparable to those of the other brothers in the branch.

The daily food, various tonics and auxiliary materials for practicing martial arts were all thrown at Lin Pingzhi as if they were free.

In addition, Lin Pingzhi himself was also hardworking enough to transform part of the resources thrown at him by the Lin family into his own strength, thus becoming the best in the same period.

Anyone who has self-knowledge will not have other thoughts and ideas.

Fortunately, the branch's equal treatment made the mentality of the other disciples who were trained quite good, and finally there was no internal dispute.

With the support of Jia Huan, the Fujian branch has developed into a hall with relatively strong strength and number among the many branches of the Beggar Gang.

Several first-class masters are in charge all year round, and there are also many second-rate and third-rate masters to assist.

There were no accidents. On the contrary, the security environment in Fujian Province has improved significantly. These are all the credits of the Beggar Gang branch.

Even the big families in the southeastern coastal areas that are deeply rooted in the local area dare not go against the Beggar Gang branch for no reason. It is really too much of a loss.

Just kidding, the existence of the Beggar Gang branch can even shake their foundation in the local area.

The geographical environment of Fujian Province is special, with many mountains, many rivers and few fields, but the population is not small at all.

There are many tenants here, and there are also many refugees of all kinds.

In terms of absorbing the lower-class people, the advantage of the Beggar Gang can be said to be overwhelming.

Since the situation on Yizhou Island stabilized, the Beggar Gang branch has been accepting refugees from Fujian Province, and the number of people under its control is quite amazing.

If it is ignored and messed up, no big family in the southeastern coastal area can withstand it.

Jia Huan knew about these situations but did not take them to heart.

What the Fujian Branch did did not have much conflict of interest with the local powerful forces. On the contrary, there were some cooperative exchanges of interests.

Jia Huan would stay in the Fujian branch for several months every year, so he could clearly feel that Fuzhou, where the branch was located, had undergone many changes because of the Beggar Gang's development of Yizhou Island.

The most obvious change was that the price of grain in Fuzhou City continued to drop.

At the same time, fruits and various specialties produced in Yizhou Island poured into Fuzhou City, allowing the people in the city to enjoy them at a lower price.

There were also large quantities of sea fish and dried fish made from sea fish, which entered Fuzhou City and even the entire Fujian fish market in large quantities, directly bringing the price down to the knee, so that ordinary people could also afford fish.

The business atmosphere of the entire Fuzhou City was much stronger than it was five years ago!

The influx of a large number of Yizhou Island specialties not only benefited the local people, but also attracted a lot of merchants from other provinces.

Who would dare to believe that Fujian Province, which had always needed to buy food from other provinces, could actually provide a large amount of cheap food? It was incredible!

Not to mention, there were also a large number of tropical fruits and various fruit products made from these tropical fruits, which would make a lot of profit if they could be shipped out of Fujian Province.

Dried sea fish at five or six coins per pound is affordable even for farmers.

When transported to other provinces, it costs at most a dozen coins per pound.

It can also save salt for cooking. How could such a good thing happen in the past?

In short, with the development of Yizhou Island hosted by Jia Huan, Fuzhou City, where the Fujian Branch Hall is located, has become more and more prosperous and noisy.

After Jia Huan inspected the branch hall, he saw a prosperous scene when he entered the city.

When he arrived at Fuwei Escort Agency, Lin Zhennan had been waiting for a long time.

Everyone was an old acquaintance, and there was no more greeting. After sitting down in the main hall, they immediately got to the point.

The small sea fleet led by the Lin family of Fuwei Escort Agency is still operating normally.

It has formed a regular pattern to go back and forth to the Yizhou Island base almost every half a month.

With a large amount of daily necessities transported from Yizhou Island, the Lin family of Fuwei Escort Agency also reaped a lot of benefits.

At present, the population of Yizhou Island, which is controlled by the Beggars' Sect, has reached over 100,000, and as time goes by, the population there will increase.

The management model there is similar to the sect model in fantasy novels.

The elite disciples of the Beggars' Sect are the core, the ordinary disciples are the backbone, and the outer disciples are the specific implementers, and then some professional talents are hired to help assist in management.

Here, martial arts come first. If you don't have enough strength, it is almost impossible to become a middle or senior management.

The base over there has also established a martial arts training system starting from elementary school.

Most of the resources will be invested in the martial arts training system.

As for the culture-oriented Central Plains, there is no market there at all.

Not to mention that Jia Huan, the initiator, did it deliberately, the general environment would not allow it.

There are natives on Yizhou Island, and there are people from the Central Plains who have been on the island before. They are not friendly to the Beggar Gang’s base on the island.

In addition, there are pirates on the sea, and Japanese pirates who have lasted for nearly a hundred years.

With the opening of the Age of Exploration, there are still many traces of foreign ships on the sea.

None of these existences are easy to deal with.

If the Beggar Gang’s base on the island is not strong enough, even if some areas on the island are developed well, it will only be a wedding dress for others in the end.

In addition, the reason why Jia Huan spent so much energy on Yizhou Island was to cultivate a steady stream of Jianghu masters for the Beggar Gang.

After all, in the inland, the Beggars' Sect actually controls limited resources, and is subject to restrictions from government offices and local tyrants, so there is a limit to its strength.

Jia Huan's goal is simple, to allow the Beggars' Sect to directly skip many restrictions and go further.

In addition, there are some other considerations.
