"Beat the bamboo board and take big strides. Ma Family Shop, make a fortune! Gold, silver, and big money! When the Ma family's master made a fortune, money and beautiful women came at will. He built a golden house and hid his beautiful daughter. Every year, scholars were elected as filial piety and honesty. For filial piety and honesty, officials, court doctors have connections. No need to run, no need to search, he had been promoted three times.”
He saw a group of beggars in tattered clothes blocking the entrance of the Ma Family's shop and singing the song of falling lotus flowers. In just a few seconds, the people on the street had surrounded him.
"Steward Ma, bad news. A group of beggars have come outside and surrounded the door. There's not a single customer!”The waiter ran into the back hall and shouted.
After the Ma family chased Zhou Shan out, Steward Ma was in charge of the shop. He hurriedly put down his cup and walked out. Sure enough, when he came out, he saw that the outside was surrounded by people who were watching the show. There was no one who came into the shop to discuss business.
"Especially those beggars. Don't you know whose shop this is? Get lost or I'll teach you a lesson.”Steward Ma shouted angrily after coming out.
"Old Master Ma, you're so cruel. You even chased away poor beggars. He said that it was benevolence, filial piety, and righteousness, but it was all nonsense…”
"Hahaha…" When the people around them saw that this group of beggars was singing in an interesting manner, they all burst into laughter.
Steward Ma's face turned green and purple. He took out some money from his pocket and said,""There's some money here. Take it and get lost…”
"Old Master Ma, you are so stingy. The Luoyang Biography of Benevolence only gave him ten coins…”
"Ahahaha…" More than a hundred people laughed non-stop, and more and more people surrounded them.
Han Fei saw it clearly from the restaurant at the side and said,"Daniu, this person has some ability. We must promote him.”
"Brother Han, I'll reward you handsomely when we get back!”Da Niu said.
Han Fei nodded. Da Niu also had the appearance of a superior.
"Manager, I think these people are here to cause trouble. Why don't we report this to the authorities?”The waiter at the side said.
"Okay, go…" Seeing that these beggars refused to leave, Steward Ma had no choice.
In a short while, the officer arrived with a chain.
"Let's go, it's our turn."”The few of them went downstairs.
"You beggars actually dare to cause trouble here!”The officers looked fierce.
Since ancient times, beggars were afraid of officials. The group of beggars showed fear on their faces, and Steward Ma was proud of himself on the steps in front of the door.
"Wait!" Han Fei flew over. He had been in Luoyang Prison for some time and was familiar with these officers.
"Hey, isn't this Overseer Han?" The leader hurriedly bowed.
"Hehe, this big brother chairman, these beggars begging here, are they violating the law?”Han Fei cupped his fists and bowed.
The Great Han Dynasty did not include beggars in the law, so the class leader was momentarily stumped.
Han Fei cupped his fists again and bowed to his surroundings. He smiled and said,"Most of these beggars are good people. They have either encountered great disasters or were forced by large families to become homeless and beg for a living. They were humans, and so were everyone else. Everyone is also an ordinary family. It is difficult to guarantee that there will not be a time of calamity. Poor beggars. If we deprive them of their right to beg, how can they live? If that day comes, how will we live?”
"Mr. Han is right."
"That's right, that's right. There's no law in the Han Dynasty that says beggars can't beg.”
"We will go our separate ways on this road. These beggars are begging on the road. What right does the Ma family have to chase them away?”
"I have lived for decades, but I have never seen such a hypocrite. He is truly shameless!”
Steward Ma's expression changed, but he could only swallow his anger. The officer was criticized and immediately left dejectedly.
"Luoyang City, Warden Han, famous for his unparalleled benevolence and righteousness. Ma Dahu is not benevolent and righteous. If he does many unjust things, he will certainly die.”When the beggars saw Han Fei standing up for them, they felt grateful and sang loudly.
Steward Ma flicked his sleeves and left. He had no idea what to do and hurriedly went to find his master.
Han Fei smiled slightly. In the peaceful world of the future, human rights societies had to pay protection fees. How could they not pay in the late Eastern Han Dynasty?
Steward Ma entered the Inner Residence and saw Old Master Ma in the front hall. He shouted,""Old Master, something bad has happened. There are a group of beggars outside. We can't get rid of them even if we give them money.”
Old Master Ma was a shrewd businessman. He had just taken over the family business recently. When he heard this, he said,"Don't be anxious. Tell me in detail.”
"It's like this…"
"A few days ago, didn't you say that the Hong Gang came to collect protection fees and was chased away by you? Forget it, go and invite the Hong Gang over and get them to expel these beggars. Tell them that they can pay the protection fee, but in the future, no one is allowed to disturb my Ma family's business.”As Old Master Ma spoke, he closed his eyes and continued to sip his tea. The protection fee was a drop in the ocean to him. He did not pay it earlier because he looked down on Lu Zhan and the others. Now that he saw how difficult it was to deal with them, he had no choice but to be amicable.
"Boss!" A subordinate of the Hong Gang came in and bowed to Han Feixing before saying,"Big brother, the Ma family has come. The 30 Guan protection fee has been paid.”
"Boss!" Lu Zhan had to listen to Han Fei's instructions.
"Yes, make it beautiful and let the surrounding merchants see it. Da Niu, pass down the order to get those beggars to cooperate. After this matter, he had to be ruthless. They could spend money to hire people to do it, such as buying fake goods, eating people to death, and so on. They could forcefully drag those big families to report to the government. If it was a tavern, he would throw sh * t at him eight to ten times a day, drag the chef out and beat him up, not allowing him to work in the tavern, and see if the owner could still open his shop…He had to be smarter and not just ask for it fiercely…”Han Fei lectured.
Da Niu, Lu Zhan, and a few of his subordinates were dumbfounded when they heard this. As expected of the boss, he was really vicious! Ah, no, there was a scheme. Such a scheme, he would never be able to think of it even if he was beaten to death.
"Remember, when you have money, you have to bribe the government. From the small government runners to the big three dukes and nine ministers. There's nothing that can't be delivered, only that there aren't enough. Understand? Don't be afraid of spending money. If you have a relationship with those high-ranking officials, you will have a protective umbrella. Your power will grow, and you will earn money quickly. There were tens of thousands of people doing business in Luoyang City. Even if one household earned ten strings of strings.”Han Fei lectured.
"Ya, big brother is right." All the merchants in Luoyang paid protection fees? Lu Zhan was extremely tempted. Then wouldn't he be the local tyrant of Luoyang City? No, the lord was the local emperor.
After receiving the money, Lu Zhan personally came forward and resolved the matter with the cooperation of the beggars.
Everyone didn't say anything, but they were cursing the Hong Gang in their hearts. They were even more vicious than the officers, but they were also afraid. They made up their minds not to provoke the Hong Gang in the future.
After this incident, Lu Zhan had also been enlightened and understood the principle of saving the country through a roundabout way. The big families in the west of the city all paid protection fees. He gave gifts and officials according to Han Fei's instructions. Since everyone had the same interests, naturally no one would talk about this, and his strength would continue to grow.
With Lu Zhan's help, Da Niu's Beggar's Sect quickly gathered all the beggars in the city. According to Han Fei's plan, he would receive a lot of money.
Han Fei was naturally rich. Beggar's Sect was in charge of spreading Han Fei's name, making his reputation spread throughout Luoyang City and gradually spread.
