Yang?
Zhang Feng frowned.
Vaguely thought of something, and hurriedly said, "is this one from the former Sui Dynasty?"
Jia daoren nodded and said solemnly: "It is indeed from the former Sui Dynasty. After the collapse of the former Sui Dynasty, many of the remaining families migrated to the south of the Yangtze River and slowly established their influence here. At first, their influence was not very strong, so his majesty didn't take care of it. Later, Yang started bit by bit and began to grasp the situation in the south of the Yangtze River. Later, the branch of five surnames and seven hopes came and slowly stayed here The establishment of a force has vaguely surpassed the Yang family. Now the Yang family's force can hardly compete with the branches of the five surnames and seven outlooks. In addition, they are relatively United at ordinary times, so they have formed a force in the south of the Yangtze River. "
Hearing this, Zhang Feng also had a general understanding of the situation in the south of the Yangtze River, but he still had a question: "Lao Jia, why do others only say that there are seven forces in the south of the Yangtze River? And never mention the Yang family?"
Jia daoren smiled: "After all, the Yang family is a remnant of the previous dynasty. Although it has nothing to do with Yang Guang and his majesty has no control now, many people still feel that they are not suitable to deal with. They only regard them as a merchant alliance, that's all. Moreover, their power is far inferior to the other seven forces. Naturally, many forget them and don't want to mention them."
Zhang Feng nodded. Now he finally understood.
I didn't expect such a complicated relationship in Jiangnan.
Although he knew that there were still branches of the remnant families of the previous dynasty, he didn't expect to gradually become a force in the south of the Yangtze River. Although the Yang family can't compare with the people with five surnames and seven hopes, at least there are some forces that may be used in the future.
Moreover, the Yang family belongs to the aborigines in the south of the Yangtze River. They must know more than the other seven surnames. Even if they can't be used for themselves, they can't offend them now.
Thinking, he asked, "Lao Jia, what is the relationship between Yang and the other seven surnames?"
Upon hearing this, Jia daoren seemed interested, changed his sitting posture, and said with a smile: "Master, you don't know. The Yang family and the seven surnames are like water and fire. Originally, the Yang family has been in charge in the south of the Yangtze River. Because his majesty didn't order and restrict, the business can be said to be all over the world, including silk, iron ore and coal mines. Anyway, as long as you can think of it, the Yang family has stepped in and done well, but with the arrival of the seven surnames, the good days of the Yang family have come to an end , with the support of the five surnames and seven hopes, they first closed down the silk merchants and gradually monopolized the silk market. Later, they entered the iron ore, coal mines and so on. As long as they were involved in the things of the Yang family, they all took one side. Now 80% of the business in Jiangnan was monopolized by the seven surnames, of which the Qi family was the largest, and the Gao family was only a medium-sized product... "
"So, Yang's life is hard now." Zhang Feng frowned. He originally wanted to form an alliance with Yang and deal with the seven surnames together. After all, there are more friends and more ways. From this point of view, the seven surnames may not be able to keep themselves.
"That's not true."
Jia daoren smiled and took a drink from his tea cup. Then he said, "although the Yang family only has 20% of the business in Jiangnan, they have savings. They see that Jiangnan can't develop. Now they start selling in other places, even in remote places, such as the border."
Zhang Feng frowned: "they have no power in Jiangnan. How can they send things out?"
Jia daoren turned his eyes, glanced out of the window and said cautiously, "Yang has stayed in Jiangnan for so many years, but he still has some power privately. They have many gangs under their hands, which help them transport goods."
Gangs?
Zhang Feng was stunned.
Is it a gangster?
This was his first reaction.
Because if you can set up a gang, you will be involved in gangs and do some murderous and pirated business.
He asked subconsciously, "is there a gang still established by Yang?"
"Not a gangster."
Jia daoren shook his head: "it's the kind of gangs that usually transport goods. They don't see anything harmful. They're honest. In fact, they're forced to be helpless. Without these gangs, how can the seven surnames let them deliver goods? They would have starved to death."
Zhang Feng nodded. Indeed, a large number of goods are really dangerous if they are not protected. Not to mention that Yang belongs to the fat meat in the eyes of the seven surnames. He wants to eat it in one bite.
"Did the seven surnames set up a gang?" he asked curiously.
"Of course there are." Jia daoren nodded and said, "a huge guild has been established. It is usually for transporting goods. When it's okay, it's the people. Few people know it. It's called the seven alliance Gang, which means the union of the seven surnames. The gang of Yang is called the giant sand gang. I don't know what it means."
Seven Gang?
Giant sand Gang?
Zhang Feng read it silently.
He felt that if he wanted to defeat the seven surnames, he would meet this gang sooner or later. He should clean up these gangs.
