Chapter 498 New Organization

"Axuan, do I really want to join the underworld?"

Princess Ankang asked reluctantly while sitting on the carriage.

"Nonsense, who said you should join the underworld!" Li Xuanyi denied it righteously.

"Then don't you want me to create a new gang now?" Princess Ankang pouted and asked.

"There are good and bad gangs in this gang." Li Xuan followed up and continued, "We just need to build a good gang that is happy to help others."

"Do you still remember how those people from the Money Gang acted in front of us?"

When Li Xuan said this, both Princess Ankang and Yu'er remembered those funny situations.

After the Money Gang was troubled by Princess Ankang once, when they left the palace, they pretended to be good people for a long time. It became a daily routine for a few big men with evil looks to help the old lady cross the road.

"Axuan, are you saying we should establish a gang like that?" Princess Ankang asked with a smile, obviously very happy.

But after a while, the little girl frowned again and became distressed:

"How can we maintain the livelihood of the gang members?"

"Just relying on us to distribute money is probably not a long-term solution, right?"

Princess Ankang has indeed grown a lot since leaving the palace.

When I think about many things, I will now start from a realistic perspective.

She also knows very well that things without benefits cannot last long.

Li Xuan nodded secretly in his heart, feeling satisfied with Princess Ankang's growth.

"There are naturally ways to make money, you just have to find the most suitable one."

"Let's go to Sihai Gambling House to understand the situation with Xiao Minzi first."

With Li Xuan here, Princess Ankang was not too worried.

After a while, the three little ones rode a carriage to the Sihai Gambling House and met Zhu Shimin who was sitting here.

Zhu Shimin immediately took the three little ones to the quiet room at the back to discuss matters.

Zhu Shimin had already learned about the purpose of the three little ones through the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and had prepared the corresponding information early.

"Your Highness, please see, this is the relevant information about all the properties we took over from the Money Gang."

"As for the original members of the Money Gang, except for a small number of professionals, most of the other members have been asked to leave."

Li Xuan can understand this. After all, if the industry is to be taken over by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it must arrange its own people.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs is not at ease with those who used to use money to help them.

"What are the gang members who were asked to leave doing now?"

Li Xuan raised a question.

"Most of them have returned to the money gang, and some of them seem to have no place to settle even with the money gang, and are now wandering around on the streets."

"These people are no longer members of the Money Gang, but with the remaining power of the Money Gang, it is not difficult to make a living on the streets."

Li Xuan could imagine what kind of livelihood these people were seeking on the streets.

After all, these gangsters have no special skills and are probably still doing what they are good at.

Li Xuan checked the list of industries listed by Zhu Shimin. In addition to the most common gambling houses and house cleaning, there were also rice shops, medicine shops, blacksmith shops, etc., and other such industries.

Of course, these were originally the underground industries of the money gang, and they were all illegal and profitable businesses.

Needless to say, gambling houses and house cleaning companies are all legal and have to pay high taxes. On this list, except for a few legal gambling houses like Sihai Gambling House, the rest are underground gambling houses that do not pay taxes. Shops and prostitutes.

The rice shop is engaged in the business of reselling illegal salt, the drug shop sells fake medicinal materials, and the blacksmith shop even smuggles ordnance.

As for other human trafficking businesses and the black market that completes underground transactions, the industries are diverse and countless.

Looking at it this way, Li Xuan understood a lot about the way of survival of Daxing's underground gangs.

These so-called underground industries are all illegal and even harmful to nature, but precisely because of this, there are hidden huge profits that ordinary people cannot imagine.

Li Xuan glanced at Princess Ankang beside him and found that her little face was already covered with frost.

Li Xuan knew that Princess Ankang would not be able to remain calm when she saw these industries, so she quickly changed the subject.

"Xiao Minzi, did you encounter any resistance in the process of taking over these industries?"

Zhu Shimin first looked at Princess Ankang and found that her face was not very good, and he understood what was going on.

But since Li Xuan asked the question, he immediately answered: "The money gang members who originally managed these industries will naturally not be obedient, but they have no support from the gang, and they are unable to resist the suppression of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"After establishing their power several times, they no longer dare to conflict with us, but they are still making trouble in the dark."

"Later, when I found out that tripping us would break my own legs, I stopped completely."

Zhu Shimin said it in an understatement, but obviously there were a lot of things going on when he took over.

But how can the members of the Money Gang compete with the colorful eunuchs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?

"Strike an egg against a stone."

Li Xuan shook his head and commented.

Then, Li Xuan asked Zhu Shimin in detail about these underground industries and received a comprehensive and patient answer.

The money gang's underground industry is extremely profitable, especially the monopoly industry.

At least in Beijing, the Money Gang does not have any qualified competitors.

Such a big piece of cake is all monopolized by money.

But Zhu Shimin also reminded Li Xuan that these businesses are not as easy to do as they seem.

The reason why the Money Gang was able to monopolize the market before was because they gave enough tributes to all parties.

The big cake did not go into the Money Gang’s own stomach, but a considerable part of it was given away.

This is also the main reason why the Money Gang has been able to exist in the capital for so many years.

Although the Money Gang is powerful, they are just working for others, earning hard-earned money to support the vast number of gang members.

The big head is still eaten by those who have the ability to manage them.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs is also a little worried about this.

After all, not all the government offices in the capital listen to them.

Now it is just disguised as a power dispute within the Money Gang, which has been delayed until now.

But if it is discovered that these industries are no longer controlled by the Money Gang, and no one will send tributes anymore, I am afraid that those government offices will have to come to "justly and strictly" enforce the Daxing laws.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs works well in the palace, but it is constrained everywhere outside the palace.

Especially in this officialdom, there are many people who are unhappy with these eunuchs in flowery clothes. It will be extremely troublesome to handle it according to the law.

If Emperor Yongyuan is involved, it will be even more troublesome, and a new round of criticism will be set off in the court.

"It's really not easy to deal with."

Li Xuan couldn't help but frowned.

Although these industries are nominally under the name of Princess Ankang, the actual management is done by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

If someone with ulterior motives finds out about the relationship, Emperor Yongyuan will be in big trouble.

At this time, Princess Ankang said unhappily:

"Ah Xuan, these are bad businesses that harm people, we can't do it!"

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you!" Li Xuan nodded repeatedly, and seemed a little perfunctory because he was thinking about other problems.

"Ah Xuan, I'm serious!" Princess Ankang said, holding the cat's head with both hands and moving closer to her.

"Don't worry, I'm trying to find a way?"

Li Xuan blinked his innocent big eyes.

Seeing that Li Xuan had listened to her words, Princess Ankang nodded with satisfaction.

Feeling that Princess Ankang had no intention of letting go, but rubbed her little head, Li Xuan simply kept this posture and continued to think.

"It is impossible to continue to honor those government offices. Only others honor the kitten, how can the kitten honor others."

"In this case, we must clean up these industries so that people can't find fault with them."

Li Xuan's eyes rolled around, and I don't know what ghost ideas he was thinking.

After a while, he sorted out his thoughts and showed a mean smile.

"It seems that this can be done."

"The specific details will take time."

Li Xuan immediately patted the table and asked Princess Ankang and Zhu Shimin to come over, and then wrote his plan on the table.

After a long time, after reading Li Xuan's plan, Princess Ankang and Zhu Shimin looked a little strange.

"Ah Xuan, can you do this?"

"And the name of your new gang..."

"It sounds a bit treasonous."

"If you don't know, you would think I'm going to rebel."

Princess Ankang's face was full of doubts about Li Xuan's idea.

"Oh, let's try it, maybe it will work?"

It's not known whether Li Xuan is talking about his own plan or asking Princess Ankang to rebel.

"Xiaominzi, what do you think?"

Then, Li Xuan asked Zhu Shimin on the side.

Zhu Shimin pondered for a long time, and then he said in a good tone:

"My lord, this matter is of great importance. Xiaominzi dare not overstep the line. It needs to be reported to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for a decision."

In fact, Zhu Shimin has the right to make any decision on the underground industry of the Money Gang, but Zhu Shimin really dare not make his own decision on Li Xuan's plan, so he had to say this.

"Okay, okay, remember to report it as soon as possible so that we can start implementing the plan."

No matter what Princess Ankang and Zhu Shimin think, Li Xuan is full of expectations for his plan.

…

The people of Beijing found that their lives have been much more peaceful recently.

The members of the Money Gang, who used to be idle and extorting money on the street, didn't know whether they were punished or struck by lightning, and they rarely came out to bother people.

This is naturally a good thing for the honest people.

But unfortunately, everyone found that the good thing didn't last long.

The figures of those evil-looking big men began to appear on the street again, and they were in groups of three or five, making people afraid to approach.

Everyone knows what will happen if you get too close to these people.

However, if you don't get close to these people, they will still come to you.

"Hey~ that old man!"

"What are you carrying? Such a big sack is full of stuff."

"You dare to be so ostentatious in the streets, I think you are tired of living!"

"Be sensible, put down the sack quickly, otherwise don't blame the grandfathers for being rude!"

After that, several big men immediately surrounded him and blocked the old man carrying the sack.

The old man had dark skin, a hunched body, and ragged clothes.

He had been carrying rice on this street for many years, but he never thought that he would encounter such a thing one day.

On weekdays, these people either flirted with young girls or extorted rich stall owners.

He was an old man who had no money, and he didn't know what these big men wanted from him.

The old man carrying the sack was so frightened that he could not speak. He just froze in place, looking up at the big man blocking the road in front of him, his mind went blank.

"Old man, is it difficult for grandpa to speak?"

"I asked you to put down the sack for me, do you hear me?"

The leader of the big man said fiercely.

But seeing that the old man was still looking at him blankly and motionless, the leading man couldn't help but scratch his head and wondered: "Is this old man deaf?"

"Come on, brothers, please unload the sack for me!"

As soon as the big man waved his hand, his accomplices started to grab the old man's big sack.

The old man carrying the sack reacted immediately, grabbed the sack tightly and refused to let go, begging for mercy:

"My dear, this little old man is the one who carries the rice bags for the rice shop in front of me. It's full of chaff and not worth much, so why don't you show me your kindness!"

The old man cried out in tears, begging them not to snatch the goods he carried.

He doesn't make much money carrying this chaff. If he were robbed of a sack on the street, he would probably have all his work in vain today.

"The old man is not deaf, but you dared to pretend not to hear with us just now. I think you are tired of living!"

As soon as the old man said this, the big men grabbed even more fiercely.

But these big men were very measured in their attacks. They only ran towards the sack and did not touch the old man.

He was probably afraid of causing harm to others and making himself embarrassed.

When other people on the road saw this scene, they just dared to be angry but dared not speak out. Some even began to quietly close their stalls, preparing to avoid the limelight first.

As for coming up to help the old man, forget it.

These big men all looked very familiar to them. They were the money gangsters who had been idle on the streets a few days ago.

Today, these people don't know why they are crazy, and they are all wearing a red scarf around their necks in a uniform manner.

After all, the old man failed to hold on to the sack on his back. While he felt relieved, he couldn't help feeling aggrieved in his heart.

You said he was so good, why did he suffer such an unreasonable disaster?

He was about to finish his work today, but all of it was in vain.

The old man was in agony, but at this age he was too old to shed tears, so he could only swallow all the suffering in his stomach.

The old man looked at the big man at the head, and happily threw the sack on his back. He just looked at it blankly for a few times, and finally lowered his head silently, preparing to get up and compensate his employer.

He was struggling to hold himself on the ground, but his body was lifted directly from the ground.

The old man was stunned and found that he was being picked up by the big men.

"Old man, let me tell you clearly, where was your bag of rice originally sent?"

The old man was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that these people would not stop robbing him of rice, but would also blackmail the rice shop.

"You, what do you want to do!"

The old man said in horror.

"Jiejiejie..."

Several big men suddenly laughed strangely and became arrogant.

"Old man, my grandfathers will naturally help you."

"Stop talking nonsense and lead the way!"

The old man didn't dare to resist when he was being held up, and he honestly led them the way.

The big men carried sacks and held up the old man, swaggering through the market, and soon arrived at the rice shop.

The owner of the rice shop had long heard that something had happened and was about to close the shop, but he still didn't catch up.

"Oh, boss."

"Why do you close the door in broad daylight?"

"Are we not welcome?"

The big man carrying the sack asked in a bad tone.

The other big men also said "Huh? Huh?", which made the rice shop owner so scared that his legs trembled.

"Don't dare, I just have something urgent at home and I have to go back."

The owner of the rice shop replied bravely, and secretly glanced at the old man who was being held up by the big men.

The old man was glared at by his boss and could only shrug helplessly.

"Huh, don't dare to be the best!"

The leader of the big man said, throwing a bag of rice on his back in front of the rice shop.

He raised his head and looked at the rice shop and the second floor, and asked in a low tone:

“How many floors will this bag of rice have to carry?”

"No, no, just leave it here!" the rice shop owner replied hurriedly. How dare he let these big men enter his shop.

Seeing what the rice shop owner said, the big man in the lead nodded, and then winked at the boys behind him.

The younger brothers immediately let go of the old man and pushed him into the rice shop.

But the old man was so frightened that his hands and feet were weak, and he suddenly fell into the arms of the rice shop owner, and the little bird snuggled into him.

"Is there anything else you want to move?"

The leading man asked the rice shop owner with ill intentions.

The rice shop owner immediately shook his head like a rattle:

"No more, no more."

"Okay, okay..." The big man in the lead said "ok" several times in succession, nodding his fingers at the rice shop owner and the old man carrying the sacks.

"Bros!"

The big man suddenly shouted, and he and his younger brothers stepped forward, stood in a row, and blocked the front of the rice shop.

The owner of the rice shop and the old man carrying the sacks felt their hearts tighten at the same time, and couldn't help hugging them tighter.

brush!

Just hearing a uniform voice, the group of villains suddenly stood upright, with the five fingers of their right hands together, the palm and forearm in a straight line, from bottom to top across the chest, raised to about the height of a fist, with natural and smooth movements, with the palm facing the left front and bottom .

"Ready at all the time!"

The villains shouted loudly, making everyone around them tremble in fear.

After a moment of silence, the villains turned around and left, gathering together and laughing.

"Brother, counting today, is your selection as the team leader stable next time?"

"You will be a level one by then!"

"Hey, be humble, don't talk nonsense if there is no certainty."

"..."

The villains left with laughter, and did not bother anyone else.

Others watched this scene tremblingly, not knowing what these people were doing.

The rice shop owner trembled and asked the old man in his arms: "What did they ask me to prepare?"

"Are they warning me of something?"

The old man who was tightly held in his arms shook his head blankly.

He only knew that his wages for today seemed to be saved.

In a teahouse not far away, the windows of a private room were wide open, and the guests inside were watching the scene on the street.

Princess Ankang's face was wrinkled with worry.

"Ah Xuan, how about you be the captain of the Red Scarf Team?"
