Chapter 27: The Great Han Godfather

  Qin Feng sent all the beggars away and only left Da Niu. "Da Niu, I have a favor to ask of you."

  "Brother Qin, don't say that. If you need me to do something, just tell me." Da Niu patted his chest and said. During this period of time, he had been eating well, dressing warmly, and his body was no longer as thin as before.

  "It's like this, I need some labor. There are countless beggars in Luoyang City, you find me three or four dozen young ones who don't cause trouble. I'll take care of their food and clothing..." Qin Feng's plan was that if he hired workers to go thousands of miles away, it wouldn't be an easy task, and would require a lot of commission, but finding some beggars wouldn't need wages, just providing meals would do.

  Big Cow hastily said: "Qin big brother, let me go with you!"

  "You? Haha, I think you're still more suitable as a beggar." Qin Feng joked.

  "Qin big brother...... you......" Big Cow was very indignant, thinking that Qin big brother would rather let others work under him than call me Big Cow. But he couldn't help but feel resentful towards the revered Qin big brother, so he could only sit back down with a pitiful look, hanging his head in anger.

  "It's great to be a beggar." Qin Feng said with a smile.

  "When beggars have something good, they lose face..."

  "Haha, when a small beggar is not good, but what about a big beggar? A beggar leader? If you have 10,000 beggars or 100,000 beggars under your command?" Qin Feng asked continuously.

  "Big Brother Qin, don't joke around," said the big cow-eyed man with an incredulous expression. "How can you be the leader of 10,000 or even 100,000 beggars? The largest group of beggars in Luoyang is only over a hundred people, and I've heard they're all from the same village."

  Qin Feng heard this and felt that the consciousness of ancient people was still not at a certain level, and they needed to be guided. Qin Feng then said: "Big Cow, I came to ask you, what is the most difficult thing about being a beggar?"

  The big cow was a beggar from an early age and had a deep feeling about it. He immediately said: "Of course, I'm going to beg for food!"

  "It's not hard to beg for food." Qin Feng shook his head and continued, "What's difficult is personal safety. Is it often being beaten or chased away, making it impossible to beg? If you're injured or fall ill, what then?"

  "Sick? Injured? Then there's only one dead end, every year countless beggars die like this......" Da Niu sighed endlessly.

  Qin Feng smiled slightly and continued, "If there was such an organization, the leader would be responsible for the safety of the beggars. If they were beaten, the leader would help them get justice back. If they fell ill, the leader would treat their illness. If they hadn't eaten or drunk for a long time, the leader would provide for them. Tell me, would the beggars join such an organization?"

  "Huh! Qin big brother, there's such an organization? I'm the first to join!" Big Cow couldn't believe that such an organization actually existed in this world.

  "It's not about you joining, but creating. You come to establish such an organization, gathering all the beggars in Luoyang City, and when it develops and grows, you can send out capable subordinates to establish branches in surrounding cities. Over time, your subordinates will gather tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of beggars..."

  "This……" Big Cow was shocked, as if he had seen the grand scene of a million beggars gathering, but he couldn't believe it. He said, "Qin big brother, such an organization will definitely attract beggars to join in droves, but how can we guarantee their safety? Moreover, feeding these people will require a huge sum of money."

  "Do you think this is a wealthy family that raises idle people? Since joining the organization, getting the organization's protection, one must obey the organization's arrangements and fulfill their duties to the organization. Receiving their example fees, giving them corresponding care for life......" After Qin Feng spent almost an hour explaining, Da Niu finally had some understanding of responsibility and duty.

  Although the great cow knew it was a good thing, thinking of the hardships involved, he retreated and said with shame: "Brother Qin, this is probably not something I can do. You'd better find someone else. I'm just a small beggar."

  In Qin Feng's view, this is an organization that can cover the whole country, and perhaps one day it will become a huge folk intelligence agency. With such a large underground force as an intelligence network, if he has such a day to contend with the heroes... , what a great help it would be?

  He thought for a moment, and his heart was moved. Such an organization absolutely cannot be handed over to outsiders. Unfortunately, he alone couldn't handle it, so he thought of going to support the big cow to do this thing. "Still need experience, have to find someone to help the big cow in the early stage." Qin Feng stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.

  "Big Brother Qin, I'm not that kind of material, let me just follow you instead."

  "West of the city! A person flashed through Qin Feng's mind, "This man has been mixed in Luoyang City since he was a child, and I also have a favor to him. Looking at yesterday's appearance, this man is a righteous person, can be used." Qin Feng thought about it and had an idea, saying: "Big Cow, follow me for a trip."

  ……

  In the depths of Chengxi, a section of courtyard wall collapsed, and in the dilapidated mansion, Qin Feng saw Ba Chengxi Lu Zhan. Not only did Lu Zhan live here, but also more than a dozen households with no one else, only their own broken and tattered families.

  "Qin, I'm so sorry to have you see this. It's a mess, those merchants are shameless, my brothers can't even find a decent job." Lu Zhan said with enthusiasm and embarrassment as he welcomed Qin Feng into the empty house.

  "Lu Zhan brothers, Qin Feng I came today, it's for you and your brothers' certain matter. This is Big Cow, also one of my brothers." Qin Feng smiled.

  "Awesome brother!"

  "You...hello." Looking at this group of people, who looked like evil spirits, Da Niu's heart felt uneasy. These were the kind of people who bullied beggars the most cruelly. And yet, Qin Ge was so familiar with these ruthless individuals.

  Lu Zhan also thought to himself, Qin Feng was indeed a man of benevolence and righteousness. He had never heard of an official calling a beggar brother before. In his eyes, such a person was worth befriending.

  Qin Feng didn't know that as soon as they met, the two brothers had so many thoughts. He smiled and said: "Lu Zhan brother, I don't know what plans you have for the future?"

  "We're just making do, getting by one day at a time. By the way, Qin Ge, you mentioned earlier that you had some business to attend to for me?"

  Qin Feng smiled slightly and said: "Lu Zhan brothers, what do you usually rely on for a living?"

  "Hmm...". Lu Zhan scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Just looking for some goods to sell at the market." It was all a strong forced business with no capital, but Lu Zhan didn't dare say that to Qin Feng, mainly because it would be too embarrassing in front of Mr. En.

  "Didn't you collect money from the merchants and shops in the market?" Qin Feng asked.

  "Take money? What money? None." Lu Zhan shook his head and said.

  It seems that more than 1,800 years ago, there was no concept of receiving protection fees. Qin Feng had to become a godfather for his own future.

  He smiled and said, "I have an idea. You can form a gang to organize all the vagrants, collect protection fees from merchants, of course, you must ensure that their businesses run smoothly after taking money. If someone causes trouble at a merchant's place, you will come forward to resolve the dispute. Of course, you must lean towards the merchants who have paid the protection fee..."

  Lu Zhan's eyes widened in shock, he couldn't believe what he was hearing, but he also understood the logic behind it. Lu Zhan, who had been street-smart since childhood, quickly grasped the subtlety of the situation and hastily asked: "Qin Ge, what if they don't pay?"

  "Extort them a bit, and someone will definitely pay up. After they've paid, those other business owners in the same industry, you'll go to their doors every day to cause trouble, making it impossible for them to do business... I think those who can do business have some brains, they'll proactively give you money to take down their competitors. However, if the people doing the extortion are paying up behind your back, then you should treat them equally... Moreover, you need to grasp a degree of control, after taking the money, bribe the officials in preparation for unexpected situations..."

  Qin Feng explained that he was a mentor who taught people how to commit crimes within the system, the number one mentor of the Great Han!

  Lu Zhan's eyes sparkled with excitement, while Da Niu was left staring in stunned silence.

  Lu Zhan thought of a bright future and excitedly said: "Brother Qin, you take the lead with the brothers!"

  Qin Feng shook his head, he could only take the right path to prevent future troubles, and it was better to ignore this dark side... He said: "I'm not convenient to show up for this matter, Lu Zhan you set up a gang while helping Big Cow brother gather beggars to form a beggar gang, discuss the specific matters among yourselves, if you don't understand come ask me..."

  "But there's one thing you should pay attention to..."

  "What's wrong?" Lu Zhan hastily asked.

  Qin Feng stood up, gave a cold smile, and looked at Lu Zhan with a heart that was about to jump out. He said sternly: "Although I'm not convenient to show my face, everyone has come out to talk about loyalty... You must know that a snake can't move without its head, if someone is two-faced and treacherous..., they will be killed without pardon!"

  Lu Zhan, who had been wandering in Luoyang City for many years, couldn't help but understand Qin Feng's meaning. He walked over, bowed his head and said, "Brother Qin is right, I, Lu Zhan, will definitely be loyal to Brother Qin and not betray him. If I do, I will be punished by heaven and earth..." Then he turned around and shouted at the subordinates who were looking out the door, "All of you, get in here and pay respects to our new big brother!"

  "Big Brother!" More than a dozen vagrants rushed in, kowtowing. Big Cow also bowed down beside them.

  Qin Feng smiled and said: "Lu Zhan, you are their big brother, I am just your boss."

  Lu Zhan didn't understand what the boss meant, and thought it was probably a big deal, so he hastily shouted: "Quickly pay respects to our boss."

  Then, a group of rascals shouted in unison: "Boss!"

  Qin Feng couldn't help but laugh.

  At this time, Lu Zhan asked: "Boss, what's the name of our gang?"

  Qin Feng thought for a moment and said, "Let's just call it Hong Bang!"

  Two organizations destined to shake the world in the future were thus initially established in Qin Feng's hands.
