he walks in the world

Chapter 14 Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes
Du Ruo's words are very straightforward, and it is indeed the problem that the Juyi Gang has today. Of course, without Du Ruo saying it, Deng Fangzhou can also know that although the Juyi Gang has developed rapidly and seems to be prosperous, it has always been a single player after all. Fighting alone, lacking foundation.

"I understand what Gang Leader Du said," Deng Fangzhou said, "But it's not enough. Just relying on this, it's not worthy of the Juyi Gang's intervention. After all, the relationship between my Nanshan Gang and the Juyi Gang is not harmonious at all." , I want to know, what does Guild Master Du need from me?"

Du Ruo turned his head and looked at the river. When the breeze came, the river swelled slightly. He said slowly, "I need boats. The Nanshan Gang will give me ten cargo ships as a reward for my help from the Juyi Gang."

Deng Fangzhou was silent. Ten ships, for the Nanshan Gang, was nearly half of the total. This is not a small sum.

Du Ruo continued: "Master Deng, you are making money by exchanging ten ships for one wharf. If there is no wharf, no matter how many boats you have, it will be useless. , well worth it."

Deng Fangzhou was silent for a long time, then raised his head and said, "Five ships."

"Seven."

"make a deal."

Du Ruo smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "It's a happy cooperation. From now on, our two gangs will be partners. Leader Deng, if you're free, come and sit with my Juyi gang."

Deng Fangzhou said in a deep voice, "The Nanshan Clan also welcomes Clan Leader Du to visit us more often."

"See you later!"

"See you later!"

Because this cooperation was negotiated, Deng Fangzhou had to make timely changes to the plan. Fortunately, the time for the Dragon Boat Festival has not yet come, and many people have not yet come. He has plenty of time.

…………

Heitou is very confused now. He really can't figure out why the Juyi Gang and the Nanshan Gang suddenly formed an alliance. He doesn't understand what the gang leader thinks. Knowing that the Nanshan Gang was having a hard time recently, he even drank and celebrated with a few brothers, thinking that maybe the Nanshan Gang would start to collapse after the Dragon Boat Festival, and he was very happy.

But now, he was at a loss.

He didn't understand that there was clearly a problem with the Nanshan Gang, and there was nothing wrong with the leader not seizing the opportunity to get rid of the enemy of the Nanshan Gang. Asked, still holding back and not speaking.

Walking slowly, Du Ruo, who was admiring the scenery on the west side of the water, saw Heitou's doubts, and said with a smile: "Heitou, you have to understand that in this river and lake, there are rivers and lakes, and the water is very deep. Many things are not just seen. like that."

The black-headed man said: "Master, I don't understand. Our Juyi Gang is doing so well now, with so much business. Even if we can't eat the Nanchuan Gang, we don't need the Nanshan Gang to bring us anything. Moreover, we and the Nanshan Gang With so much hatred, no matter how I think about it, I don’t think I should help them?”

Du Ruo shook his head slightly.Said: "Heitou, don't be blinded by the superficial phenomena during this period. Let me tell you, these are all false. You forgot that half a month ago we were still in decline, and the Nanshan Gang was as powerful as a rainbow. In just half a month, the form has completely changed, this is the world, changing rapidly."

"But," Heitou frowned, scratched his head, and said, "I don't understand, what does this have to do with our cooperation with the Nanshan Gang?"

Looking at the dull black head, Du Ruo patted his head lightly with a fan and said, "You don't need to understand, I just need to understand."

Du Ruo is different from Heitou, he is Mr. Du.

When the entire Juyi Gang was cheering for the benefits brought by this victory, he thought more. Their apparent enemy was only the Nanshan Gang, but he understood that those who had conflicts of interest were all enemies. In Shuixi County, there are five gangs at the same level as them.

Except for the Triad Society that has been running the Goulan and gambling houses, the other two gangs have always been eyeing the good place of Wutong Town, but they are just some scruples, not as fierce as the Nanshan Gang. When the Nanshan Gang had a big change, the Zhongxin Gang and the Changfeng Gang immediately took the opportunity to extend their hands.

Among the five major gangs, the one with the weakest background is the Juyi Gang.

Even if the Juyi Gang knocked out an arm of the Nanshan Gang, they are still not qualified to eat this piece of fat, they can only watch others come to take this fruit, but the bigger problem is, whether it is the Zhongxin Gang or the After the Changfeng Gang ate the Nanshan Gang, their eyes would be fixed on the Juyi Gang.

Rather than being targeted by a more powerful opponent, it is safer to leave a weak enemy behind.

In addition, the Nanshan Gang still needs a long time to recover. During this period of time, it is an opportunity for the Juyi Gang to develop and catch up with the Nanshan Gang.

Cooperation with the Nanshan Gang is a win-win situation.

The Nanshan Gang saved the dock, and the Juyi Gang didn't have to face a stronger enemy, and got time to buffer and develop. At the same time, they got seven ships from the Nanshan Gang. This is an obvious benefit.

Moreover, being the two closest gang alliances, the Nanshan Gang and the Juyi Gang, can also promote development to a certain extent, and also have a certain deterrent effect on other gangs.

This is what both gangs need at the moment.

As for the enmity that has always been there, it is still enmity, and I will still keep it in my heart, but when to take revenge, no one can say for sure, but everyone knows that this enmity cannot be let go.

Du Ruo has seen this kind of thing too many times.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, but the wind and waves in the rivers and lakes always move with the wind, one moment to the left, the next moment to the right, one moment they are close partners, the next moment they are enemies who draw their swords. , smiling one moment, indifferent the next moment.

…………

Going to the big boat in Tai'an, Du Ruo only brought Heitou alone. When the flat boat came, Du Ruo felt that the boat was really big, and it was completely different from what he saw from afar. Small.

Entering the boat, many people immediately came to say hello, and Du Ruo also smiled back. The people who came here were basically leaders from all walks of life in Shuixi County. People take the initiative to say hello.

If Du Ruo boarded the boat, he would naturally be the first to greet Song County Magistrate, the leader of Shuixi County.

For County Magistrate Song, Du Ruo is neither unfamiliar nor familiar with it, because when County Magistrate Song first came to Shuixi, Du Ruo was upright and in the limelight, and in order to form the Juyi Gang, he fought with County Magistrate Song badly. Talk less.

"Student Shanjiang, I have met the county lord."

Du Ruo's position was arranged at the front, and County Magistrate Song was at the top. He walked straight over and bowed to perform the salute.

Regardless of his status or age, County Magistrate Song was far above Du Ruo, but his attitude towards Du Ruo was very gentle. He smiled slightly and said, "Shan Jiang, I heard that your Juyi Gang is developing very well. It's a happy event. The development of Shuixi County has made great contributions, but don't miss the job, don't lose your studies, the scientific examination is coming, are you ready?"

Du Ruo nodded and said, "Students don't dare to forget about their studies. They started preparing early in the morning and waited for the day of the scientific examination."

"That's a good relationship," County Magistrate Song said, "You are a well-known prodigy in my Shuixi County. For so many years, Shuixi County has never produced a single person. You are carrying the expectations of your parents and folks, and you want to give me Shuixi. Let the county take a breath!"

"Students do their best!"

Speaking of which, there are really not many scholars present, at least not many of them have fame, but most of them are in the yamen, and there are really not many who can talk casually with Song County Magistrate like Du Ruo, For a while, it almost simply became Du Ruo and County Magistrate Song's home court.

However, after all, it was not a suitable occasion for chatting. County magistrate Song chatted with Du Ruo for a while, and then stopped.

However, County Magistrate Song still looked at Du Ruo from time to time, and he was a little surprised. He had a deep impression of Du Ruo.

But when he saw Du Ruo today, he always felt that Du Ruo was a bit weird, but he couldn't tell what was weird. He couldn't feel the attitude of an ordinary student facing him from Du Ruo, nor could he see the temperament of a gang leader. Paradoxical, the feeling of looking at flowers in a fog.

After Du Ruo sat down, he also smiled at some other people, including some who had cooperated with the Juyi Gang. Du Ruo had just visited two days ago, and some of them were planning to cooperate with the Juyi Gang. Most of them are people who have nothing to do with the Juyi Gang. However, they are in the same county, they don't see each other when they look up, and there is no enmity, so they still have to save face.

Only the two leaders of Zhongxin Gang and Changfeng Gang looked at Du Ruo with other charms in their eyes.

…………

It was very lively on the Tai'an big boat until [-] noon, when all the invited people came together. After County Magistrate Song held the Dragon Boat Festival, he began to talk with everyone about the various developments of Shuixi County in the next few years.

Everyone is actively speaking, because they all understand that this conversation is likely to affect the change of wind direction in Shuixi County. It is obvious that some of the people who came here three years ago have not come, but There are another batch of newcomers, such as Du Ruo.

When County Magistrate Song talked about the pier, everyone couldn't help looking at Du Ruo and Deng Fangzhou, especially the two leaders of the Zhongxin Gang and the Changfeng Gang. Before coming here, the two had already started fighting openly and secretly. Helping the pier was determined to win, but after Du Ruo and Deng Fangzhou met suddenly in the morning, they were a little unclear.

Sensing the change in the atmosphere in the venue, Du Ruo stood up slowly, cupped his hands towards County Magistrate Song and said, "Your Excellency, the students have talked with Gang Leader Deng about the development of the pier in private, especially about the water thief disaster on the Fengling River. We even thought of a lot of ways. In the end, we decided to cooperate with the two gangs to resist the water thieves on the river. In addition, we happened to be close to the two piers, so we decided to negotiate shipments to solve the problem of cargo accumulation!"
