Chapter 310 Pay all security fees

Once Wang Xuan said this, even a fool would understand that there must be no other way.

"Then what should I do? How to find the murderer?" Liu Qinghong became anxious again after hearing this.

"Okay, now that I've said it, you still don't understand. Do things well. After these things are done, the murderer will be found out in a short time." Wang Xuan won't explain too much, and it's hard to say these gray tricks.

"Then I'll go to work, master, as long as I can avenge my little sister, I can do anything!" Liu Qinghong bowed, then turned and left.

Three days later, Zhu Jiayan came to Wang Xuan's mansion again, with 20 men behind him. I don't know what he was thinking. The people he chose were not crooked. Although there were a few men with fierce faces, At least they have personalities.

Looking at the 20 men, Wang Xuan nodded and didn't say much. They were his first batch of subordinates, but their level was too low. They asked them to send them this month's interest, and Wang Xuan let them go back. Zhu Jiayan was the only one left.

"Literate?" Wang Xuan threw an account book in front of Zhu Jiayan.

Zhu Jiayan blushed, and said Nuo Nuo, "I don't know."

Wang Xuan clicked his lips, this is a big problem, he ignored it, it seems that the school still has to go on!
I don't know a single word, how will I explain the task in the future?Can't everyone shout to explain?
"I said you write it down, don't remember to deduct money!"

"Okay, okay." Zhu Jiayan stretched out his ears and listened.

"Fulai Restaurant, every month..." Wang Xuan recited how much money the thirty or so merchants in Beicheng should pay each month, and when he looked up at Zhu Jiayan, he found that his eyes started to roll around.

Damn it, Wang Xuan cursed in his heart, there is no way to change his tactics, "Just remember the five families, come one by one!"

Zhu Jiayan heaved a sigh of relief, he almost died of panic just now, his mind was smoking.

Write down the money that the five families want to collect. Wang Xuan explained to him carefully the method of asking for money. Zhu Jiayan was very excited when he heard it. Why didn't he think of this method before, otherwise he would have made a fortune long ago!

But after thinking about it, I feel that it is unlikely. This is because there is the support of Mr. Wang, the help of the fast yamen servants in the yamen, and the masters under his command. It will not be a big problem. If you do these things by yourself... it will happen in a few minutes was beaten to death.

This is true, ancient times are not modern, and the importance of human life is not so high.

These merchants used silver, and someone in the yamen would naturally flatten and round these guys, but it was different when it was Wang Xuan, he could also use silver in the yamen, as long as the gap was opened, things could go with the flow.

Zhu Jiayan left and went to implement Wang Xuan's protection fee.

Yes, Wang Xuan is going to start collecting protection fees in the Ming Dynasty, and every family will collect it. Of course, those small vendors are not counted, they are all poor people, they have no money, and they are collected by serious big businessmen.

These merchants in ancient times were actually quite annoying. No wonder the court never looked down on merchants.

Let’s just say that in the dynasty, a large amount of tea, porcelain, and silk are exported every year, and tens of millions of taels of silver flow into China every year. I don't spend it... The money circulating in the market is getting less and less. Even though silver and gold mines are mined every year, so much overseas flows in, but it is still getting less and less.

They had to wait until the dynasty changed and they were looted before they could slowly disperse.

Moreover, commercial taxes are very low, which leads to excessive concentration of wealth, and the country is dying of poverty. At that time, merchants in Shanxi sold it, as well as intelligence and so on.

Of course, there are also a lot of people from the south who have passed by sea.

……

"Bang!" A long bench was placed across the door of a restaurant, and a burly man sat on it. "Your boss, let him come out to see me."

The store clerk stretched his neck to see the three or five big men following outside the door, and immediately turned around and ran to the back hall. After a while, a middle-aged man who was described as rich and potbellied came out.

Looking at the door, his brows frowned slightly and then relaxed again, walked over with a smile and said: "What's the matter, you guys, come here, please come inside, let's serve good wine and food, and have a good chat chat."

"That's it." The big man stretched out his hand and interrupted the boss, "Just go in, let's just inform your shop of our regulations, and from now on, we will leave the public security and sanitation issues in the nearby streets to us. The 'White Society', of course, it is not small to help everyone maintain the law and order environment and protect the safe operation of everyone's stores."

"Of course, we are still 'people-oriented', and we will never allow 'eat and get cards'. You only need to pay five taels of silver every month, so that those of us who serve the people will not starve."

The more the boss listened, the more he felt something was wrong. Isn't this just a hooligan asking for money?We need your protection in our store?Are you kidding me, we've had a great time without you for so many years!

The smile gradually disappeared, and the boss looked at the big man with a frown.

The big man didn't care about the boss's face, and continued to say to himself: "Well, I have notified that the money will be collected tomorrow. If you pay or not, we definitely don't mean to force it."

After finishing speaking, the big man picked up the long stool, turned around and left without waiting for the boss to reply.

Looking at his back, the restaurant owner frowned and turned back.

On this day, the five nearby families requested by Wang Xuan all received the notification from the big man, but no one paid much attention to it.

The next day the big man came to collect the money again, but naturally no one responded, the big man was not annoyed, he turned around with a sneer and left. Immediately, two big men with fierce looks stood at the door of the hotel, without saying a word, just walked straight Standing, staring viciously at pedestrians walking back and forth.

When these two vicious figures stood at the door, those who came to eat were naturally unwilling to come in. Everyone came to eat and not to make trouble, so naturally they all stayed away from it.

Starting early in the morning, the restaurant's customers have almost disappeared. When they met a few rich and powerful people who didn't care about the big man at the door, the big man ignored them. The order they received was to intimidate the diners, but they were not allowed to drive them away.

But what's the use of just a few customers here and there, such a big restaurant, how much less money will be made this day, the boss can't stand it after noon, but people don't come into your restaurant, there is no reason to drive people away... …

After inquiring around, the five nearby shops doing various businesses were harassed, but those small business dealers were ignored.

In the afternoon, the owners of the five shops gathered together and went to the yamen. This matter was not troublesome to the magistrate, and it was handled by the arresting servants below.

Wang Xuan had already greeted these people through Dai Butou, and each of them threw ten taels of silver over.
