#102 - Chapter 102 Hongmen Disciple

After a thorough exploration, Cheng Feng finally completely understood the underground cave in Nie Hu's mansion. He immediately instructed Wang Hu to find a few people to dig pits on a remote mountain outside the city, in preparation for later removing the corpses from the bottom of the cave for burial.

After completing this task, the cave could be used as a storage place for the Hongmen's supplies. After all, Cheng Feng firmly believed that no one could obtain relevant information for no reason, and the matter of moving the corpses was naturally left to Babai to handle. For this purpose, several large boxes needed to be prepared in advance, so that Babai could directly place them in the cave, and then load the corpses into the boxes and lift them onto the carriage.

When the city gate opened in the early morning, these carriages loaded with corpses would leave the city together with the team transporting night soil. Of course, Wang Hu had already greeted and arranged everything at the city gate in advance.

Cheng Feng had always been quite annoyed by interpersonal interactions, so he simply handed over all these affairs to Wang Hu. Fortunately, Wang Hu was very familiar with this kind of thing and handled it with ease.

However, the number of corpses in the cave was too large, and Cheng Feng had no choice but to patiently ask Wang Hu to report the progress to him every half month. The strong smell of corpses was really unbearable, so he could only ask Babai to do this hard job for him, which was estimated to take several months to complete this arduous task.

Wang Hu suggested that all the brothers could be called together at night to move the corpses, but Cheng Feng shook his head and expressed his opposition.

Firstly, very few people know about the cave, and if too many people participate in it, it will inevitably leak information;

Secondly, too many people can easily cause changes, so it is better to avoid extra complications as much as possible.

After all, according to past experience and common sense, as long as you follow the normal time arrangement, follow the conventional operations, and add some interference factors, it will not arouse suspicion from others. But if you act too abnormally, it is very likely to reveal your tracks.

Obviously, Cheng Feng was very careful about how to deal with the cave. Although the environment there was not satisfactory, and even a bit smelly,

But in his eyes, it was undoubtedly a unique treasure house, which could be used as an excellent place to store items.

As a member of the Huaxia people, having a place to hide things is good for working hard to get them back

Otherwise, it would be a pity if there was no place to put them

Cheng Feng also has this kind of thinking in his bones

Cheng Feng didn't touch anything in the small cave except for the two ancient books, such as herbs and the like.

This can be regarded as a kind of respect for inheritance!

Time flies, and time passes quickly

The corpses under Nie's mansion were almost all removed in two months, with only a small part remaining

During these two months, Cheng Feng lived a simple life

The original Tiger Head Gang's two hundred taels of silver, once the gang rules came out, the idle people saw that there were no benefits to be gained, and left directly. Cheng Feng didn't stop them either. The rest were the people Cheng Feng needed to win over. They were doing a business that could cost them their heads, so naturally they had to treat their brothers well.

Twenty-five taels were spent in the first month, and in the second month, the gang members were recruited to fifty people, plus two in the middle stage of training strength and one in the late stage of training strength. The monthly salary in the second month totaled fifty-seven taels.

Cheng Feng calculated that he still had one hundred and twenty-six taels in his hand, of which twenty-six taels were all taken out by Cheng Feng to be used as food for the gang members.

Naturally, some were left behind

Cheng Feng only kept one hundred taels for himself

This is not the end, fifty taels of which were used to buy crude salt

The remaining fifty taels were kept for backup

One tael of silver for one catty of crude salt, and fifty catties of crude salt were directly obtained

Cheng Feng didn't plan to bring anyone with him. The core technology still had to be mastered in his own hands for the time being.

He called Babai out to help in the middle, and in two days, thirty catties of refined salt were directly produced

According to Wang Hu's estimation, one catty of refined salt can be sold for twenty taels

This is directly six hundred taels, a proper profit, which is much better than other businesses

But Cheng Feng's liquor business still didn't stop. When shopkeeper Mei sent someone to say it wasn't enough, he would just go over and work hard again.

But all this hard work is worth it

The liquor dividends for two months were forty-eight taels, which was enough for the family to use.

Cheng Feng didn't plan to buy a woman for the time being, just make do with it for now, and wait until he makes money to talk about it.

Cheng Feng deeply knew that in order to build a strong team, he must start from the daily life. Therefore, in the old site of the Tiger Head Gang, he used the management model of the army in his previous life to carry out strict training for these subordinates.

Every morning, before the sun rose, Wang Hu would lead everyone to start the day's training. The first thing they had to learn was how to fold the quilt into a neat tofu block, which not only tested personal patience and carefulness, but also reflected a rigorous discipline.

Next, there was a tense and exciting military training session. Look to the left, look to the right, look forward... Every action was required to be standard and uniform. Through this high-intensity training, not only can physical fitness be improved, but also team collaboration spirit and obedience awareness can be cultivated.

In addition, Cheng Feng also formulated a series of detailed living regulations, including work and rest time, eating habits, and so on. Everyone must strictly abide by these rules and integrate them into their own blood.

Of course, not everyone can adapt to such strict training and management methods. For those who are unwilling to cooperate or violate the regulations, Cheng Feng will unceremoniously ask them to hand over the meal money and then leave.

But after all, no one is a fool. In this turbulent era, it is already very difficult to have food, drink, and income every month. What is it to endure the so-called gang rules?

In this case, joining the Hongmen may be the only way for many people to survive. So even though the training is hard, everyone gritted their teeth and persevered, hoping to get better development opportunities in the future through their own efforts.

Wang Hu was also born as a casual person, but his talent is at least higher than that of Nie Hu. The realm of skin training can't trouble him.

It should be almost a month later

After Sun Gui and Zhou Hai recovered from their injuries, they also practiced the Collapsing Mountain Fist that Cheng Feng put in the Hongmen.

Cheng Feng knew that the Thunder Shock Blood Decimation and Thunder Shock Saber that he learned from the martial arts gym should be able to reach the realm of viscera training.

But this cannot be passed on

Fortunately, the Collapsing Mountain Fist can also reach bone training, which can be regarded as leaving a thought for the people of the Hongmen.

Almost all those who joined the Hongmen have had their bone structure examined by Babai. If they are older, it doesn't matter, after all, a good foundation should be able to make up for it.

The people accepted are all men around the age of twenty. In the first month of joining the Hongmen, they must be made aware of the rules and abide by them.

This is Cheng Feng's way of screening. Only those who persist until the first day of the next month after joining the Hongmen can receive silver. Cheng Feng doesn't need those who don't have patience and vision.

Of course, Cheng Feng will also provide support for the necessary environmental logistics,

They live in the houses in the old site of the Tiger Head Gang that have been cleaned.

In terms of food, Cheng Feng specially found a former chef. The meals every day have oil and water supply, and the taste is not bad. As long as you persevere, it is free. If you quit halfway, you can pay for the meal.

In terms of clothing, Cheng Feng spent ten taels of silver to entrust the cloth shop to rush out fifty sets of coarse cloth black clothes within three days, and embroider a "Hong" character on the chest, as the standard uniform of the Hongmen.

After everyone gradually adapted to the various habits of military life, the curtain of martial arts practice was opened in the next month.

In addition, a ranking competition is held every week. The top three can also drink alcohol. Cheng Feng specially supplies a small jar of Chunxiao.

These young people are at the peak of their youth and full of energy. Everyone is unwilling to show weakness and always needs to find an excuse to vent their inner passion and enthusiasm.

On weekdays, everyone is divided into red and blue teams, led by Sun Gui and Zhou Hai respectively. Both of them are in the middle stage of training strength, and their strength is evenly matched. An invisible competition has unknowingly begun, which can be said to be a good start.

At first, Cheng Feng would often come to supervise the competition rules, but in the second month, he came less and less. After all, this month is basically a martial arts competition between warriors, and Cheng Feng has already entered the realm of blood training, so naturally he looks down on this kind of rookie-level competition.

The disciples of the Hongmen gradually integrated into the Hongmen in such an environment.
