Chapter 325: Underground Gangs

"I see that your shop has the name of Lin'an. Could it be that the shopkeeper is from Lin'an?" Wulutus chatted with the shopkeeper while waiting for the meal.

It seemed that although the guards of Ulutus and his group were fierce, Ulutus herself was still calm. The shopkeeper put away a little fear and said with caution: "The noble man is joking. The villain is from Haizhou, and the villain is from Lin'an. This shop is also her skill, but it is not easy to meet customers, so the villain is busy in front of him."

The rule that women should not show up in public is a tradition of the Song Dynasty. The Jin and Ming Dynasty were greatly influenced by Hu Hua, but they were not so strict. Especially the Ming Dynasty, in the case of insufficient population and shortage of productivity, supported women to go out to work.

Many businesses and workshops also hire female workers, but most of them are in the textile industry. In terms of operations, men are still the main ones. Jeju is a maritime hub, and women have only started to go out to work due to various trends. But the overall situation is still conservative. It is impossible for women to stand half of the sky and have the same status as men in later generations.

"The shopkeeper has a good method to marry the woman from Lin'an. I heard that it is the most prosperous place in the world. The women in Lin'an are all beautiful and beautiful. The shopkeeper's blessing is very good."

"The nobles are used to being able to joke. The nobles are just like the willows, and they cannot bear the reputation of being beautiful in the country. Although Lin'an City is the most prosperous place, in the eyes of the villain, it is just the prosperity of a superior person like the nobles. Like a villain, he was just a rank and a small person who fought with the head of the archery in his early years. In Lin'an, he was able to get this good marriage because his family was poor."

In any era, there are class divisions such as nobles and ordinary people. In a big city like Lin'an, there must be more rich people, but there are only more poor people. It will only be a common trivial matter to fall into the situation of selling children and daughters.

"How did you think of staying in Jeju?" At this time, the tofu bread was served, and Ulutus also took this opportunity to see the wife of the shopkeeper who had been working in the kitchen.

The other party was wearing ordinary Ming people to simplify Hanfu, which facilitated daily work. He only applied some simple makeup on his face, not as white as the Song people painted like wallpaper. He only had an inexpensive wooden hairpin on his head. Judging from his neat work, he was accustomed to doing rough work.

Perhaps because he was ashamed to contact the outside man, the woman only placed the steamer containing the buns on the counter and delivered it to the table by the shopkeeper.

When he saw Ulutus, the shopkeeper was relieved. He said, "This is a good year! Since the Ming Dynasty built a Shandong province, the tax on the ground in Haizhou has been completely exempted. Originally, Jiannei and I wanted to farm in Haizhou, but there was a brother I knew in Jeju. He said that it would be easy to make some money by doing a small business here, and as long as we endure hardships and be able to return home in glory.

The villain doesn’t want to be so poor. Although he won’t starve to death after farming honestly, it’s difficult to be rich and powerful.”

"Although farming is poor, there is no need to take any risks. But in this business, there are profits and losses. The shopkeeper is not afraid of losing all his money?" Thanks to the open and inclusive atmosphere of Ming Dynasty, he also has a supportive attitude towards business, so the atmosphere of doing business has become increasingly strong. For example, Jeju Island has used the tax exemption policy to attract many merchants to settle here.

But no matter how good the policy is, it is not as good as the business of merchants. Only those who have experienced it can know the risks.

"I'm not hiding the nobles, villains were also afraid at first. But fortunately, God blessed me, there are many diners in this place, so that the shop can still be managed." The shopkeeper laughed and seemed to make a lot of money.

"I wish the shopkeeper a prosperous business and a prosperous fortune!" Ulutus said, and had already started to eat it. Vegetarian buns with tofu stuffing may not be as delicious as meat stuffing in ordinary people. But for people like Ulutus who are used to eating meat, it is also good to eat some vegetarian food occasionally.

Moreover, the soy milk in this store is also good. The addition of goat milk with Ming Dynasty characteristics makes the taste more mellow. It is also the development of animal husbandry, so the goat milk on the market is not expensive. Ordinary people are willing to spend money and can drink it every now and then.

In schools and government agencies, milk powder is basically distributed regularly, saying that this will help balance nutrition. Of course, this is what Ulutus means.

The Ming Dynasty was vast and sparsely populated, and it was constantly plundered from outside, which gave the capital to release more benefits to the people. This was also the reason why the people of the Ming Dynasty were loyal to the government and respected Ulutus from the bottom of their hearts. New immigrants like the shopkeeper were not as good as those of the Ming Dynasty’s government.

After all, without the peaceful environment created by the government, he can't even plant the land now.

After eating and drinking like this, Ulutus packed several more copies and distributed them to the accompanying guards. It was enough for them to follow him, and it was unreasonable to make them hungry.

But just as he was about to leave the bun shop, a dispute suddenly sounded outside.

When Ulutus came out, he saw three shirtless young men who looked like gangsters were being held back by the guards, kneeling at the door and whimpering loudly. Several people were lying down around the guards. They shouted loudly, and they were obviously beaten by the guards.

Seeing that these people were not in danger of their lives for the time being, Ulutus asked: "What's wrong?"

"Young Master, this rogue said that it was from the Cao Gang and wanted to come here to eat something. I told them not to go in and disturb the young master, but they didn't listen, so that's it." An escort explained to Wulutus.

It sounds like these guards are doing right.

"Yeah! Just teach a lesson." Ulutus said in agreement, and then rushed to the shopkeeper who was shrinking his head and tail at the door and asked: "Shopkeeper, who is the Cao Gang? Are they very big?"

"Hey! They are the biggest gang on this pier. If the nobles don't want to cause trouble, they should leave quickly. I have to close the store for a few days, so that they won't be in trouble."

"I remember that the Ming Dynasty government does not allow any gang to exist, so the security army will not take care of it?"

"Is there such a law?" the shopkeeper said in a little puzzled.

At this time, a man who was quite big and had better clothes and materials on the ground shouted: "Hmph! The commander of the Jeju City Public Security Army is the brother of our Cao Gang boss. You have gotten into trouble with us this time and you are dead."

"Oh! The commander of the government has become the brothers of the underground gang. No wonder you are so arrogant?"

"That's natural. If you know, why don't you let us apologize?"

"Okay, I'm not too warm to say anything, I'll apologize for me."
