"This is today's share.”
Looking at the person in front of him, a bright smile immediately appeared on Luo Hao's face.
He took out thirty copper coins from the money box and handed them to the burly man in front of him.
This person was a famous bully on this street. He relied on his burly physique and a few lackeys beside him.
Collecting stall fees from hawkers on this street every day was actually the same as collecting protection fees. However, it was changed to a nice name.
When Luo Hao first came to this street to do business, they came knocking on his door.
At first, it was only ten copper coins a day.
This amount had also started to increase gradually. Since yesterday, it had risen to 30 copper coins.
This caused Luo Hao's income, which was originally quite good, to be greatly reduced.
Although Luo Hao's daily turnover could reach 200 to 300 copper coins, the cost accounted for half of it.
Also, Luo Hao's daily expenses meant that he didn't have much money left in a day.
Thirty copper coins a day meant nine hundred copper coins a month, which was equivalent to one tael of silver.
"If only the peddlers on this street were as sensible as you.”
"Don't worry. As long as you pay on time every day, you can do business here.”
Lord Bull looked at the small string of money in his hand with satisfaction and walked away.
Luo Hao's originally bright smile immediately turned cold after Lord Bull and the others left.
After sending away this group of bullies, Luo Hao closed his stall early.
As the saying went, a strong dragon could not suppress a local snake. Luo Hao had originally planned to keep the peace, but this bully called Lord Bull had gone too far.
Judging from the current situation, it would probably not be long before Luo Hao's price rose again.
Therefore, a few days ago, Luo Hao had started to unite with the peddlers on this street who had been bullied all year round but dared not speak up.
If he collected the money and gave it to a constable in the county government, he could take down the bullies on this street and gain a good reputation.
They could also get a lot of money. In the future, they would not have to pay for their food.
The constable immediately agreed. The bullies on the streets could only bully commoners like them.
Even if the officials had some friendship with the bullies, they would turn a blind eye to these matters.
However, after Luo Hao went to find someone, not only did he use money to clear the way, but he also wrote an anonymous letter to sue Master Niu for his actions.
After Luo Hao closed his stall early today, this Lord Bull and a few of his underlings were caught by the constables in the county government.
He was directly thrown into prison, if nothing unexpected happened.
Luo Hao would probably never see this 'Lord Bull' again in his lifetime.
After all, even if they collected protection fees, it would be too much. Many hawkers with better business had basically been bullied.
The more they earned, the more they were exploited. If they resisted, their stall would be smashed and they would be beaten up.
As a result, when Luo Hao organized all this, many hawkers strongly agreed and took out their money without hesitation.
He asked Luo Hao to make arrangements and used all their connections.
A single person's strength might be insignificant against these bullies, but an entire street of hawkers and merchants had joined forces.
He immediately made this Lord Bull suffer a huge setback.
On the fourth day after no one collected protection fees, there was no sound of hawkers hawking in the originally busy streets for a long time.
Instead, the town yamen was filled with hawkers on the street.
After hearing the magistrate's verdict, Lord Bull and his men went to the River East area to smash rocks for 20 years.
The county government immediately burst into loud applause. All the hawkers loudly praised the fairness of the county magistrate and shouted good.
As a local official, the thing that gave him the greatest sense of accomplishment was probably the people praising him loudly in the court.
The magistrate couldn't help but smile, and he immediately issued the same sentence to the underlings around this tyrant.

In the second year, Luo Hao's business officially took off from a small cart.
When he opened a fried tofu shop in the market, his income began to double.
At the same time, he also recruited two waiters to help him. It was already considered a famous delicacy in this street.
In the fourth year, Luo Hao saved up some money and bought a small courtyard in the north of the town.
The place was huge, and there were three courtyards with green plants in the courtyard.
In the same year, he brought his parents and second sister from the village to the city.
Luo Hao's brother-in-law and elder sister also began to help Luo Hao with his work.
In the fifth year, Luo Hao found a husband for his second sister in the city. Although his family was mediocre, he seemed to treat Liu Ying well.
Luo Hao had also prepared a generous dowry for his second sister.
In the sixth year, Luo Hao's father contracted consumption due to years of hard work. In this world where medical equipment was not very developed, he passed away in less than a year.
In the eighth year, Luo Hao's business in the city grew bigger and bigger. There were branches in the east, west, south, and north. In addition, he also took over a restaurant in the city center.
They gathered the hawkers and merchants on the busy streets together and formed a Chamber of Commerce.
Their business grew bigger and bigger, and they became famous merchants in the city. In a short period of time, the Liu family also became a big family in the city.
In the ninth year, Luo Hao's mother was seriously ill. Luo Hao married a young lady from a wealthy family in the city.
