In addition to the territory in the city, Yu Zecheng's territory also has three villages and towns outside the city, namely Majiazhai, Lijiagang and Zhaojiatun. Lijiagang and Zhaojiatun are both large family villages. In addition to the village itself, there are actually some branch households living in small villages in the mountains, but they are all considered members of this village.

These mountain people make a living by hunting, farming and going to the mountains to collect herbs. The two villages have a labor force of more than a thousand strong men and a population of two thousand. They live a decent life. The chief of the tribe collects protection fees in advance every month. Pay fifty taels of silver.

Majiazhai is a small town, with more than a dozen small natural villages under its control. There is no big family power in the village. The mayor is elected by the squires. The population reaches 5,000. It has a specialty mulberry forest that can produce silk and satin, making it relatively wealthy. There are more than twenty small businesses in the village. The Wild Wolf Gang used to send three people to guard this place, and they could collect one hundred taels of silver every month.

The protection fees for these three villages and towns are fixed and there will be no major changes. Yu Zecheng first sent three disciples to Majiazhai to station, and at the same time, radiation controlled Lijiagang and Zhaojiatun. There was no problem with this, so he randomly selected three people. , sent out.

It seems that Yu Zecheng chose casually, but in fact, he made arrangements calmly. One person is Cui Yunhao, an old brother in the original gang, one is Lao Gada, a disciple of the Wild Wolf Gang, and the other person is from the original street. The gangster Li Sanguang, Ma Tianyu's younger brother, these three people are arranged together to support each other without forming an alliance. They are not afraid of any trouble between them, so it is easier to control them.

Then there is the collection of site protection fees in the city. There is a free market in the city, which is mainly used by passing merchants to auction rare goods found in the mountains. This market collects commission income based on the transaction amount. Sometimes there is no transaction for a year, but sometimes as long as there is one transaction, hundreds of taels of silver can be earned.

In addition to the market, there are thirteen hotels, thirty-four shops, seven inns, two rice shops, and a coffin shop. During the reign of the Wild Wolf Gang, each restaurant paid different protection fees per month according to the size of the hotel. Three small hotels paid eight taels of silver a month, four medium-sized hotels paid fifteen taels of silver, and six large hotels paid two Fifteen taels of silver. Rouge Tower, the largest hotel in the city, is also included in the hotel, and it also costs twenty-five taels of silver.

There are thirty-four shops, and each shop pays sixteen taels of silver a month. There are seven inns, and each family pays 26 taels of silver. The price of a rice store is 30 taels of silver a month. The coffin shop pays one tael of silver for each coffin based on the number of coffins purchased by the dead in the city. Calculated in this way, the monthly income is at least one thousand two hundred and fifty taels of silver. If more people die or there are more free market transactions, the amount of silver will increase.

Of course, the money will not all belong to them. Among them, 700 taels of silver will be handed over to the rudder, 400 taels of silver will be handed over to the government from the rudder, and 100 taels of silver will be returned to the disciples as regular silver, and the rest will belong to Yu. Then it's done.

There is more than 550 taels of silver left every month. After calculating this result, Gao Feng Yu Zecheng was immediately shocked. This money is too much. The top boss in Linhai City definitely does not have such a high income. This site is indeed rich in oil and water.

In fact, Yu Zecheng cannot take all of this money away. The stronghold needs to pay rent, and the excess disciples need to be paid regularly. The disciples need to change four sets of clothes in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and weapons and equipment need to be purchased from the rudder. Pay money. There are also benefits for various holidays, pensions for disabled disciples who died in the war, gifts for related units when something happens, and daily expenses for food, drink, and toilet. The total is zero or zero, and you can get three hundred taels of silver in more than a month.

Three hundred taels of silver. Yu Zecheng's previous job as a chef was only two taels of silver. One month was equivalent to one hundred and fifty months as a chef. This deacon was indeed a good deal with huge profits. In fact, in other places, Yu Zecheng could not get so much money. In other sub-rudders, the helmsmen were overbearing. Each person carrying three hundred taels of silver had to be at least filial to the helmsman. However, here in the Mangzhu sub-rudder, he was used to The Wild Wolf Gang was used to bullying, and the helmsman Shi Tianyun was so weak that he didn't expect the income from his subordinates, and no one would give it to him. No one in charge, including Tan Erlang and Yu Zecheng, would remind him.

There are still thirteen days until the protection fee is collected at the beginning of the month. After settling the accounts, Yu Zecheng immediately announced that the master will increase the monthly rate by twelve taels of silver to fifteen taels, and the red, white and blue flowers will increase by nine taels. It is a monthly basis for twelve taels of silver, but after Honghua Chen Laizi left, this position has been vacant. Each of his disciples will receive an additional one tael of silver per month, making it four taels of silver.

At the same time, it was announced that the family members of the disciples could go to the stronghold to eat. The stronghold would provide breakfast, lunch and dinner. If they did not eat, they could be sent back. Most of the disciples of the Wild Wolf Gang who took refuge here had families. Because of the burden of their families and the pressure of their lives, they had to embark on this road of surrender. The elderly people in the gang also have families, which suddenly alleviates a lot of the burden on the family, and everyone is very happy.

It's nothing to Yu Zecheng. He has a chef here, food is produced in Lijiagang and Zhaojiatun, and there are plenty of game animals in the mountains. The meat of these game animals is much cheaper than the pork sold in Linhai City. There is a vegetable patch in the backyard, which is just a cost. It's just money for gas and seasonings. It doesn't cost you a few bucks to win people's hearts. It's nothing but happiness.

Yu Zecheng made a good plan. After announcing the disciple welfare policy, he also announced the training plan. Start training these disciples, let Lin Yehong, Du Youzi, and Fu Gang be the coaches. They will instruct the disciples to perform martial arts for at least three hours every day. Everyone depends on the blade for their livelihood. If they are not good at it, they will die.

During the training, one person stood out. He was one of the three disciples who were hired under unusual circumstances due to lack of fighting ability. His name was Huang Xiadong. Although his martial arts skills were average, he was good at arranging troops and formations and deducing battle formations. His ancestor was once a master of formations. Disciple of Guiguzi.

Yu Zecheng appointed him as a training instructor and asked him to teach everyone the art of battle formation. Lin Yehong, Fu Gang and others have been in the battlefield for a long time and know the importance of battle formations. They all study hard. Even if other people are dissatisfied, they dare not say anything and can only train with all their heart.

Many disciples were very happy when they heard that each person was given four taels of silver per month, as well as other benefits. They didn't care much about training. The former disciples of the Wild Wolf Gang and the old people in the sect were all very skilled. Afraid of training, only Ma Tianyu's gang of gangsters, the original gangsters, had a huge headache about this.

In the past, the Wild Wolf Gang split up the helmsmanship of Shanzhu, and the helmsman Mo Tianchen was mean. Instead of increasing the number of monthly disciples, each person in charge had to deduct some monthly salary to pay tribute to the helmsman Mo Tianchen. All the disciples under him complained. Therefore, as soon as something happened to the leader of the Wild Wolf Gang, Mo Tianlang, and the main gate was breached, a large number of disciples here were instigated to rebel. Everyone worked together to kill the helmsman Mo Tianchen. Rather than rebelling and surrendering to the enemy, it would be better to kill someone to vent their anger.

Although the training here at Yu Zecheng's place is harder now, the money is sufficient and the family eats for free, which is much better than before. Everyone is very satisfied.
