Chapter 499: The Red Scarf Is First Established

Li Xuan naturally waved his hands repeatedly in response to Princess Ankang's words:

"I'm just a little cat, how can I be the captain of this Red Scarf Team?"

"Ankang, you are now shouldering an important responsibility, you must live up to the responsibility on your shoulders!"

Li Xuan earnestly educated Princess Ankang.

Princess Ankang looked at the logo on her left arm, speechless, and silently covered it with her hand.

The logo on her left arm is three bars, with a distinct cat paw mark and a snowflake decorated with flame patterns on it.

The color of the logo is the red representing Daxing, the cat paw mark is Li Xuan's symbol, and the snowflake decorated with flame patterns represents Princess Ankang.

The flame pattern and snowflake represent the two bloodlines of Princess Ankang, namely the Daxing royal family and the Beiliang royal family.

Li Xuan also worked hard on the logo of the Red Scarf Team.

The workmanship of this logo is not bad, and the most important thing is that the materials are excellent, and then Xiao Cui and her grandfather, two experienced rope craftsmen, personally processed it, using the toughest wire.

Although the badge on Princess Ankang's shoulder has no practical use, it is not afraid of being cut by knives, axes, burned by fire, and soaked by water. In addition, it has a unique appearance and can be said to be a high-quality identity certificate.

"Ah Xuan, do I have to carry this thing all the time?"

Although Princess Ankang has no problem with the badge, she has a lot of problems with the Red Scarf Team.

At the beginning, they absorbed idlers who originally belonged to the Money Gang, using benefits as bait to make them do good things.

It's just that these people are used to the previous style of doing things, even if they do good things, they are evil.

The scene just now is the best example.

When she thought that she was the captain of this gang, Princess Ankang wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

She had long expected that the gang founded by Li Xuan was not very serious, but the result was beyond her imagination.

It is a great thing to promote the gang members to do good things, and Princess Ankang also supports it.

But these idlers are obviously just for money, and they have no kindness at all, so they act so rudely.

"I'm already giving you a break by not letting you wear the red scarf."

Li Xuan immediately criticized her.

But seeing that Princess Ankang looked unhappy, he stopped teasing her.

"Okay, okay, if you really feel embarrassed, you can take it off."

"Anyway, your existence is not meant to be shown openly."

Hearing this, Princess Ankang quickly took off the badge on her shoulder and put it in her arms.

This badge was made by Xiao Cui for Princess Ankang after several days of hard work, and Princess Ankang would naturally cherish it.

But after thinking about it, she immediately realized that it was wrong.

"Then you let me wear it all day today!"

Li Xuan smiled awkwardly and hid aside.

He was not just teasing the little girl, after all, he had to leave some impression of this badge on people.

Although, except for a few people, no one knew the meaning of the badge on Princess Ankang's left arm.

Now, the Red Scarf Team is just beginning to be established. In addition to the captain, Princess Ankang, there is also a deputy captain, who is temporarily appointed by Zhu Shimin.

Below the deputy captain, there are captains, squadron captains and team captains, which simply constitute the organizational structure of the Red Scarf Team.

There are not many members in the Red Scarf Team now, only a little over 100, and the entry threshold is extremely low, almost all of them are recruited with money.

Li Xuan also needs to slowly experiment to see if his method works. After all, it is the first time for him to establish an organization.

But judging from the results of the past few days, it is still good.

Money makes the devil work, and this trick works everywhere.

And the money to hire these idlers is not much, basically two taels of silver can be paid monthly.

Anyway, the Red Scarf Team is just doing good things now, and there is no need to go out to grab territory or anything, so there is no need for people with superb strength, so it is enough to hire ordinary idlers, and the cost can be saved a lot.

Now the core management of the Red Scarf is concurrently held by the flowery eunuchs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They are there for fighting, so there is no need to recruit other masters.

It just so happens that the Ministry of Internal Affairs is supposed to manage the underground industry that originally belonged to the Money Gang. Now it kills two birds with one stone, and has the identity of the Red Scarf Team outside, which is more legitimate.

"Ah Xuan, these people are just for money."

"Look, they just helped the old man move things, but they scared him half to death. They did such a good thing, and they still want to select the team leader?"

"Dream on!"

Princess Ankang said unhappily.

The big men of the Red Scarf Team have disappeared around the corner and can no longer be seen.

In the current Red Scarf Team, only the team leaders are hired by the people. The other squadron leaders and captains are all served by flowery eunuchs, and these big men are not eligible for the selection.

The rules set by Li Xuan for the Red Scarf Team are also very interesting. In addition to a certain level of strength as a basic requirement, personal morality and good deeds have become the top priority of the selection.

Not only must they win the support of the Red Scarf Team, but they must also convince the people and make them praise them.

Of course, their enthusiasm for selecting a team leader is naturally beneficial.

The team leader can have at least five team members under him, and his salary can also be increased to five taels of silver.

This real power and higher salary are the main reasons why they are enthusiastic about selecting team leaders.

But this makes Princess Ankang very dissatisfied.

A good thing had to be ruined by these hooligans.

Princess Ankang felt that this was not the gang she wanted to establish.

"Alas, a gentleman is judged by deeds, not by heart."

Li Xuan began to persuade.

"Of course, they are not gentlemen."

"It mainly depends on their actions to let everyone know about our Red Scarf Team."

"Only then can we start to attract like-minded team members."

Li Xuan patiently explained to Princess Ankang.

Princess Ankang thought about it and understood Li Xuan's approach.

After all, when their Red Scarf Team first started recruiting people, most people thought it was a new underground gang, so all the applicants were old members of the Money Gang.

These old members of the Money Gang were unemployed because their original jobs were transferred to Princess Ankang for management, causing a large number of them to be idle on the streets.

But even so, when they heard that the Red Scarf Team was going to hire people to do good things, many people still left with curses.

Most of the members of the Money Gang were used to doing overbearing work. How could they bear to serve the people?

Those who chose to join the Red Scarf Team afterwards were really short of money, so they took this job reluctantly.

After a few days, they found that this job was much easier.

"I hope it will be as you said."

Princess Ankang sighed and shook her head at the people who were talking about it on the street.

Anyway, she felt that the reputation of the Red Scarf Team might develop in a very strange direction.

Li Xuan was quite satisfied watching the people talking about the Red Scarf Team.

In any case, at least their Red Scarf Team has become a new trend in the capital in the past few days, and has been discussed by many people.

Although they have encountered a lot of troubles, they are not a big problem.

Because of Chen Tan, the Money Gang ignored the existence of the Red Scarf Team.

After all, Chen Tan was eager for the Red Scarf Team to grow up quickly and take away the Sihai Gambling House and other industries, so that he would not have to continue to bear the blame.

During this period of time, many people have come to the Jinqian Gang's headquarters to visit Chen Tan. Chen Tan pretended to be away and asked the deputy gang leader Yang Wanli to help him deal with it.

But this is only a temporary solution and cannot be dealt with in this way all the time.

Of course, the biggest resistance does not come from the Jinqian Gang, but from the old gang members of the Jinqian Gang.

As mentioned before, most of them are unwilling to do these good deeds just to make a little money.

But seeing that the former brothers have no dignity in the underworld for money, conflicts are inevitable.

This may be a problem for other organizations.

But for the Red Scarf Team...

Those captains and squadron leaders are not vegetarians.

After being severely taught a few times by the powerful Huayi eunuch, there is no obstacle on the road of the Red Scarf Team to do good deeds.

Even the government can't control people's good deeds.

Although there are still many people who misunderstand the Red Scarf Team, more and more people know that they are an organization that does good things without hesitation.

Although they only helped with small things and didn't do anything earth-shattering or great for the country and the people, they gradually gained some reputation.

These days, the three little ones came to the street to see how the Red Scarf Team was doing, so they were very clear about the current situation.

"Ah Xuan, how do you plan to deal with those who are hypocritical and cheat?"

Princess Ankang asked curiously.

Not all members of the Red Scarf Team are doing good things.

Many people came in just to make some money, and their quality was not very high before. Even if they saw the powerful strength of the flower-clothed eunuchs, there were still many people who were lucky.

In response, Li Xuan sneered and answered as a matter of course:

"Naturally, let them taste the methods of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"Although we do good things, we are definitely not a charity organization."

"After all, we are just a strange underground gang, aren't we?"

Li Xuan looked at Princess Ankang and asked back.

Princess Ankang nodded, but it didn't make any sense to her.

Killing a chicken to scare the monkey is a necessary measure, not to mention dealing with those evil men.

Although Princess Ankang is kind, she has her own bottom line and is definitely not a lover.

"In that case, there will be even fewer team members, right?"

"Do we need to add more people?"

The Red Scarf Team did not recruit many members at the beginning. If they eliminated another group, their organization would be even more confusing.

"No hurry, take your time."

Li Xuan was not sure, so he wanted to develop the Red Scarf Team slowly.

Although Princess Ankang was unwilling, she was still very concerned about the development of the Red Scarf Team.

After all, she was the nominal captain.

Li Xuan also followed her requirements and really created an underground gang that did not harm the people.

If possible, Princess Ankang also hoped that the Red Scarf Team could develop well, so that one day she could proudly wear that sign and declare herself the captain of the Red Scarf Team.

And to usher in such a day, Li Xuan still needs more efforts.

...

Back to the Sihai Casino, the three little ones went directly to Zhu Shimin.

Our newly appointed deputy chief of the Red Scarf Team was also given an important task by Li Xuan.

Zhu Shimin also wore a similar emblem on his left arm as Princess Ankang's, but it was simpler, also three stripes, but only with a snowflake mark decorated with flame patterns, and no cat's paw mark.

Although they have the same three stripes, the workmanship and details allow people to see the difference in the captain's logo at a glance.

As for the captain, squadron leader and squad leader further down, they are just three bars, two bars and one bar, and there are no details such as snowflake marks and cat paw marks, and the workmanship is rougher.

As for ordinary members of the Red Scarf Team, they only have the red scarf tied around their necks as identification.

At this time, Zhu Shimin was busy among a pile of account books and didn't even notice the three little ones walking in. He also had heavy dark circles under his eyes, obviously having stayed up for several nights.

"Little Minzi, how is the settlement?"

Li Xuan jumped to Zhu Shimin's side and patted his shoulder with his tail.

When Zhu Shimin saw it was Li Xuan, he let out a deep breath.

"Sir, according to your idea, it should be feasible to implement."

"But it will only take a few months."

Regarding Zhu Shimin's answer, Li Xuan nodded slightly.

"I'm not afraid it will take a long time."

"What about the loss on profits?"

Li Xuan asked next.

Zhu Shimin shook his head solemnly: "Even according to what adults think, the loss of profits is more than 30%. After all, some people only recognize those non-compliances."

Li Xuan's idea is actually very simple, which is to make all the illegal businesses at hand as legal as possible and pay taxes according to legal businesses.

Anyway, taxes are paid to the treasury, and the treasury can be regarded as Emperor Yongyuan's trouser pocket.

Of course, Emperor Yongyuan also had to make arrangements for this part, otherwise he would still have to eat what others left.

However, with Princess Ankang's status as the royal money envoy, she can transfer taxes directly to the royal treasury.

Even just paying taxes in name, and then directly skipping the tax payment steps in exchange for legal status.

At that time, these underground industries in their hands will naturally not have to be filial to other yamen, and they will not be afraid of anyone coming to criticize them from the official level.

But just like what Zhu Shimin said, some people just like excitement. Even if they operate legally, they won't come to consume.

"Take your time. Anyway, the business is now in our hands. Even if there are competitors in the future, we will just crush them one by one."

Li Xuan said indifferently.

Since the Money Gang gave away all the underground industries, Princess Ankang can now be said to take both black and white.

Among the forces in the underworld, the Money Gang is capable of causing trouble for them, but the leader of the Money Gang, Chen Tan, is the biggest supporter of the establishment of the Red Turban Team.

On the White Road, there is no shortage of yamen that can cause them trouble, but the problem is that Princess Ankang has royal status and has the help of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Moreover, she can clean up all the business in her hands, making other yamen unable to find trouble. Take action.

Only in the past few months, you need to be more careful to avoid unnecessary losses.

At this time, Princess Ankang, who had been listening for a long time, said:

"Axuan, if these industries can operate smoothly and legally, there is no need to worry about the source of funds for the Red Turban Team."

"It's just that the money given to my father will probably be much less."

Princess Ankang looked a little worried.

Li Xuan shook his head, feeling that it was fine in this regard.

Compared with the wealth occupied by those wealthy families, the underground industry of the Qian Gang is at best an added bonus.

Compared with the profits from these underground industries, what Li Xuan and Emperor Yongyuan valued more was that they could use this to extend their hands further.

"As long as the Red Scarf team can gain a foothold in the capital, a little money is nothing."
