From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 721

It is impossible to verify when the Gelaohui was born. Some say it was in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and some say it was in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasty, and it developed greatly in the late Qing Dynasty.

This organization was formed spontaneously by the grassroots of the people, and the members of the gang were all called Pao Ge, so the Gelaohui was also called Pao Ge Hui.

For a long time, such folk associations often had the nature of being involved in gangs, but they made positive contributions in the critical period of history.

In this world, Zhou Yuan actually saw the buds of the Gelaohui in Fan Tiande, and he even seemed to know what Pao Ge meant, which means that the Gelaohui may have formed a prototype among the people.

Now that the world of Dajin is corrupt and life is difficult everywhere, it is very likely that the people will spontaneously form such an organization. Direct suppression does not conform to the current specific situation.

If the core figures can be used to control this newly formed folk organization and guide it to develop in other directions, it is a bright way.

The new laws of the Jin Dynasty need to be implemented, education needs to be reformed, and the economic system needs to be reformed. In order to be at the forefront of the world trend in the future, it will inevitably experience long-term pain. It is actually a more efficient method to control the secret world of the people through such an organization.

Zhou Yuan completed the positioning design of Fan Tiande in his mind, and finally figured it all out.

While eating, he said: "The world is not fair, and you have a hard life. The court has seen all these, so we came here to deal with the problem."

"So the former governor of Sichuan was directly beheaded, and his lackeys were also finished. This is real sincerity, you can't deny it."

"Since you are a brother, you come to negotiate on behalf of your brothers, you can't just talk about scriptures, you still have to do some business."

"You have to think about this matter seriously and express your attitude."

Zhou Yuan was already speaking in a dialect, which made Fan Tiande feel very comfortable.

He picked up a glass of wine and said directly: "Let's be frank. We brothers don't trust you officials at all."

"Usually you treat us like animals, beating and robbing us. Now a new group of people come and chop off a few heads for us to see, and then they tell us to be obedient. How can it be so easy?"

"Fuck, the battle is over in two days, and you treat us like before. It's not like we haven't encountered this situation before."

This is the truth. The government is like this.

Zhou Yuan did not argue, so he said: "Regardless of the question of whether to believe or not, you have to tell me your demands first, and then I will consider how to make you believe."

Fan Tiande said: "It's actually very simple. The demands are to divide the land among us, give pensions to the dead, and medical expenses to the injured, and exempt us from those unclear duck taxes, so that we can live honestly."

"To be honest, who wants to fight with you as long as they can survive? I play mahjong in teahouses and spank in brothels. Whatever is comfortable, it's more comfortable than fighting and dying."

Zhou Yuan was silent for a moment, and then he said solemnly: "This demand is reasonable, I can agree to it. As for how much land can be divided, it's all equal, and the big All families are the same, so don't argue when the time comes."

"I will definitely give you medical expenses and pensions. I can afford this amount of money and I can make the decision."

"As for taxes, we can exempt you from taxes this year. I will also give you sweet potatoes for you to grow. But starting next year, we will collect taxes as usual, but there will be no inexplicable taxes. Everyone in the world will pay the same taxes, so you won't suffer any loss."

"This is what I can promise."

"As for whether you believe it or not, you have to go back and persuade them well and try to reach a consensus."

Fan Tiande glared and said, "Persuade? How can I persuade? You officials have long ruined your reputation. Even if I believe you, I can't persuade others."

This is loosening up. As long as you loosen up, things will not be difficult to handle.

Zhou Yuan smiled faintly and said softly: "As a brother of the Pao, you should put loyalty first. Of course, the brothers will listen to you. As long as you promise everyone, they will definitely believe it."

"I won't brag to you. If you can handle this matter, I will allow you to form a gang. I can personally help you and be your backer. As long as you don't break the law, the government will give you face."

Fan Tiande suddenly became excited and couldn't help rubbing his hands. He laughed and said: "Fuck, you, the great marshal, gave me a gang, then I'm not afraid of a duck, but... fuck, why would I form a gang if it's not against the law? Gangs are supposed to break the law to make money."

Zhou Yuan was stunned when he heard it, and almost threw a glass of wine at him.

He shouted: "Fuck, are you crazy? Who said that forming a gang is against the law? Isn't escorting money? Isn't being a bodyguard money? Others are being bullied,Paying you to seek justice, isn't that making money? "

"I support a just civil organization that speaks for the people and makes decisions for the common people, not against the law."

"When you are out there, you should talk about morality. Who will play with you if you don't have morality? Who will obey you?"

"What is a brother? A brother with a robe! A brother who shares happiness and adversity, otherwise what kind of brother are you? Brother Lu and Brother Pi are more like that."

Fan Tiande was scolded, but he seemed to understand what Zhou Yuan meant, and these words gave him some inspiration.

"Hey, don't say... there is some truth in it."

He couldn't help but nod and smile: "You can really try it. Anyway, I am serious about what you said. I will go back and talk to a few brothers and try to persuade them, but if they still don't believe it, then I haven't found the way. ”

After the meal, the other party got half drunk and left directly.

Zhou Yuan fell into deep thought and came up with several pieces of information.

First, Fan Tiande is a core member of the tenant farmers, but he is not the only boss and cannot make decisions on his own. He needs to discuss with other core members and finally get everyone's approval before making a team decision.

Second, Fan Tiande is ambitious, or it can be said that all his people are ambitious. They have formed the mentality of forming a gang and are about to implement it, but they lack guiding ideology and strategic outlines, and cannot complete the social positioning of the organization in the early stage.

Of course, Zhou Yuan wants to help them position themselves and develop in the direction of the trade union.

Finally, it is still a question of trust. The lasting impact of the collapse of officialdom in the past few decades has always been stubborn. It is obviously impossible to rely on a few words and simple sincerity. In order to completely change the impression of the tenants, more convincing reasons are needed to make them truly trust and choose to give in.

Therefore, to completely solve the problem of tenants, three steps are needed.

First, find something more convincing to let the tenants establish the initial trust foundation for the court and lay the foundation for the subsequent running-in and peace talks.

Second, help them provide a strategic outline for establishing a civil organization, complete the design of social positioning, and let them see a clear path.

Third, through investment methods such as power and financial resources, determine the core members and leaders of the gang organization, and through the control of the core members, influence the gang organization, and then affect the social problems caused by the accelerated progress of the times.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yuan stood up and walked straight to the government office.

Perhaps the prefect of Fushun Prefecture can give some advice on trust.
