Hearing what Ye Zhang Qing said, everyone's expression changed.

Yao Tian Hao, Kong Juncheng were not hooligans from the streets.

As the leader of the martial arts world, which one of them was not a dominating figure, or even one that could shake the entire Jiangnan Province?

In terms of power, background, and ability, they were all the most powerful figures in the martial arts world.

Especially regarding the background, it was extremely solid.

All of the subordinate forces had infiltrated every single part of the people, making them the real local tyrants. Even the powerful nobles who crossed the river were not willing to provoke them.

Since so many heads of the martial world respected this Master Ye, then this Master Ye must be the boss of all the heads of the martial arts world in the 21 counties of the Jiang Nan province.

Ordinary people might feel that these things were very far away from them, but people like Yang Haitao and Shen Longfei, who were born merchants and officials, clearly knew how powerful these gangs were once they were joined.

It could be said that in all parts of Jiangnan, almost all the entertainment areas, transportation, civil engineering, mortgage gambling and so on, were controlled by these Jianghu people.

If anyone could integrate all of these forces, they could become one of the top figures in Jiangnan in a single leap. Even a powerful clan like the Fan family, which had the support of a royal family, would be able to do this.

"No wonder someone said that Liu Zhen An from Jiangbei and Master Ye from Jiangnan." Shen Longfei seemed to have thought of something as he said, "These two people can both be considered to be influential figures in the southern part of the Tang Kingdom."

"I have never heard of Master Ye, but Liu Zhenan is a famous man who has been around for decades." Aunt Ye suddenly interrupted.

"Mom, you know Liu Zhenan?" Ye Yanran was surprised.

"Of course I know. That Liu Zhenan is from Yu Hang." Aunt Ye laughed, "What? Have you forgotten that your grandfather's family is in Yuhang? Twenty years ago, your grandfather brought me to visit him in Yu Hang City. "

At this time, Shen Longfei answered, "Yes, Liu Zhenan's influence is very broad. He has his power in the three states of Jiangbei and several counties of Jiangnan."

"It is said that the cargo ships that come and go between Jiangbei and Jiangnan in a thousand miles of Changjiang River are all owned by him, Liu Zhen. "In terms of family wealth, perhaps even the top squire of Ming Zhou, Qi Chenyun, would not be able to compare with him."

"I estimate that only the richest man in Yangzhou, Li Qianrong, can surpass him. But it is different from merchants. As the leader of the martial arts world, Liu Zhenan has a wide range of power and a large number of people. That is his strength. In this area, even Li Qianrong is slightly weaker. "

"Li Qianrong."

At the mention of him, everyone quieted down.

This was the richest man in Jiangnan with the same surname as the Tang Royal Family, the head of the Li Clan in Yangzhou, Li Qianrong!

If he came to Minzhou, he would be a legendary figure comparable to Old Duke Fan.

"Li Qianrong?"

Ye Qing, who was listening in from the side, paused for a moment.

Why was he unfamiliar with this name?

Li Qianrong, Li Zhijun's father, the head of the Jiangnan Li Merchant Union and one of the top ten richest men in the Tang Kingdom, was also one of his biggest enemies in his previous life.

"There are only a handful of people like Master Ye, Liu Zhenan, and Li Qianrong in the entire Tang Kingdom." Yang Haitao sighed, "I wonder when we can get to that point."

Even if his family's Chamber of Commerce obtained the approval of the salt industry in the future, they would still be worlds apart from these three people.

Their family's wealth was around 10 million silver taels, while the other person had hundreds of millions, or even billions of silver taels. Not to mention the huge power and background behind them, how could wealth measure these things?
