Chapter 15 Money Laundering

"What does hum mean? Isn't it just a whistle?" Liang Pengfei grinned a little unbearable, and his eyes collided with the girl's eyes again.

The little girl was so stubborn that she could pursed her petal-like lips tightly without saying anything. Her long eyelashes swayed lightly in the wind, waving a dazzling wave of eyes, but she exuded a tender and childish purity.

"Damn, you just stare at me like this. If you have the ability, you can stare at me for the rest of your life." Liang Pengfei, who was staring at me, rolled his eyes without hesitation, and pouted his lips, and even whistled again.

Miss Pan was almost madly angry by this rude guy. Don’t this rude guy know what shame means? Don’t you understand that whistling in front of a lady is a very slight act? Otherwise, Miss Pan wouldn’t have been going to bring her father here just now, just to teach this guy a lesson.

But what made Miss Pan depressed was that his father was actually a business partner with his father. Since his father was not easy to come forward, Miss Pan, who has always been aware of the general, has already prepared to forgive the rude guy in front of him.

But unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, the damn whistle came again. Miss Pan was so angry that her head was a little dizzy. At this moment, she found that the whistle that this guy blew no longer had a light scent, but a beautiful tune. It was quite delicious...

The whistle with a little exotic tune, a faint sadness, a hint of helplessness and indescribable melancholy wandered in my heart, making Miss Pan forget to seek guilt for a moment.

Even Bai Shusheng and others who had already taken out the melon seeds and were about to kowtow to watch the show could not help but be stunned. "The tone of the young master is very good, but it just makes people feel uncomfortable." After a while, Monk Chen touched his bald head and whispered his opinion.

Bai Shusheng shook his head with a similar feeling and said, "Although it is not a very elegant voice, it is also a bit sad, it's wonderful." These words made the pirates around him almost lose their teeth.

At the end of the song, the originally provocative whistle music reminded Liang Pengfei of his previous life. This former Soviet Union's "The Road" was the whistle that his father liked to play in his ears the most. After the song ended, Liang Pengfei was not in the mood to play a glare game with a little girl. He turned around and walked to the side of the boat. Looking at the undulating sea surface, the depression in his heart seemed to gradually dissipate with the sound of the waves and the seagulls flying in the distance, and fled to the distance.

Pan Bingjie's wonderful eyes fell on Liang Pengfei's back. Somehow, she felt that this young man who looked tough just now seemed so lonely and depressed at this moment, which seemed to make people feel distressed...

--------------------

"Daughter, what's wrong with you? Is it because my father didn't scold the boy for you just now?" After agreeing with Liang Yuanxia for delivery, he returned to his boat with his daughter. Seeing that his daughter was a little silent, Pan Youdu couldn't help but ask.

Pan Bingjie showed a pure and beautiful smile, frowned and said angrily: "Of course, my father ignored her when he saw his daughter being bullied." The soft voice seemed to be soaked in a honey pot for more than a year. If Master Liang stood beside him and eavesdropped, he might have raised his fingers and counted the advantages of loli again.

Pan Youdu couldn't help laughing: "What's the matter? In Guangzhou, many young heroes can't open their eyes when they see my daughter. You're just fifteen, and I'm afraid that in another year or two, the threshold of our family will be flattened by those matchmakers."

"Dad, you know how to make fun of your daughter." Pan Bingjie couldn't help but blush, shook her father's arm and acted coquettishly. Liang Pengfei's appearance shook in her heart, and she couldn't help but curl her lips: "Dad, the Liang family in Hailianxing is obviously Hai... Why are you still doing business with them?"

Pan Youdu turned his face and looked at his daughter, and said seriously: "What? You can't do business with pirates? Good daughter, there are many types of pirates. Some of them can not only do business with him, but also make friends... Don't underestimate pirates, and don't underestimate the Liang family, do you know?"

Pan Bingjie flattened her mouth and asked a little unwillingly: "Dad is afraid of them?"

"Scared? Haha, this is not true. There are rules and regulations in the industry and their own ways. If we foreign merchants really want to be afraid, the only thing we are afraid of is the court. Pirates just rob our money. If the money is gone, they can still make money again. But the court..." Pan Youdu sighed, and what could not be touched between his eyebrows was a faint gloom. He smiled: "My good daughter, in this world, good and bad are the most difficult to distinguish. In my father's eyes, Boss Liang is not bad, or he can be regarded as a good businessman with good reputation."

"But I just think that silly boy from the Liang family is bad." Pan Bingjie remembered Liang Pengfei's hot eyes, and her face couldn't help but become hot, and she grabbed the corner of her clothes with anger.

Pan Youdu almost laughed out loud, but when he saw his daughter's expression, he quickly pretended to be in a common hatred for the enemy: "That's right, good daughter, next time I meet such a young man, my father will beat them all to the government with a board."

"Dad, you are teasing your daughter again. Humph, I won't talk to you anymore." Pan Bingjie was about to nod when she saw her father's strange expression, and she couldn't help but stomp her feet and keep silent, which made Pan Youdu laugh.

When Pan Bingjie looked back, she saw the sea boat that had turned away. The tall young man was standing at the bow of the boat. The melody with sadness and melancholy just now seemed to echo in his mind again...

--------------------

My mother really felt sorry for Liang Pengfei, the son. At least, it could be felt from Liang Pengfei's belly that seemed to be pregnant for three or four months. As soon as she stepped into the house, her mother, Ye, grabbed her red eyes and looked at her half incense stick. She confirmed that her son was still alive and had a hair left. Then, she brought the meal she had made herself, and forced Liang Pengfei and his father Liang Yuanxia to finish the whole table of dishes. The father and son were all so full that their eyes turned pale. Then, her mother let them go with a sense of accomplishment.

No wonder this little guy and his father are so strong, so they were filled out by Ye using the cramming method.

Perhaps because he was too supportive, or because he had just gotten off the boat, he was lying on his bed and tossed and turned and couldn't close his eyes. He simply stood up to consider the problem, how could he make the rebellion plan of a time traveler more perfect and more likely to succeed, allowing himself to accumulate a lot of wealth in the short term, and at the same time, he could also gain talents and enough manpower.

Rebellion is not a job that can be done by just talking, but requires careful planning, accurate prediction, and risk avoidance. For this, Liang Pengfei continued to shamelessly pretend to be amnesia. He also took these opportunities from his father to know how much amazing wealth the Liang family, who are both business and thieves, has accumulated.

Official Liang may feel that his son is really mature, and even took the initiative to reveal a lot of information to Liang Pengfei.

There are more than 4,000 acres of land alone, including dyeing and weaving workshops, tea factories, shipyards, bronze workshops, iron workshops, and shops in Guangzhou City, and even a coal mine. Liang Pengfei secretly estimated that these industries could be worth more than 10 million taels.

My father told Liang Pengfei in a hidden way that those open businesses were just the tip of the iceberg. Although my father did not disclose the specific numbers, it is estimated that the Liang family, which started working as pirates since my father's grandfather's generation, was a total of five generations. This shameful wealth is definitely several times that of the open business.

The industry of more than 10 million taels of silver is in Guangzhou, a place where wealthy merchants gather, and such wealth is not prominent, and it can even be said to be considered a medium-sized business. Moreover, the old Liang family made a fortune by pirates and was not considered a simplified business, so they could only transfer the hidden wealth little by little to the open.

Liang Pengfei easily understood what it means. In a word, money laundering, put illegal funds into legal business processes or bank accounts to cover up its original source and legalize it.

This money laundering activity originally originated from Liang Pengfei's grandfather Liang Chengsi. Later, Liang Yuanxia tried hard to carry it forward. From the beginning, he only purchased land and started to enter the business world, bought shops and workshops, because the income obtained by these businesses is not only higher than farming, but also faster, and it can also transfer illegal funds to legal tables faster.

The Liang family's strong family background is a very good material foundation for Liang Pengfei. With money, there will be people and things, what he will do in the future is equivalent to having a strong capital and foundation.

However, for the arduous task of rebellion, even if there are 30 to 40 million taels of cash, it is really too little. You should know that the Qing Dynasty spent more than 70 million taels of military expenditure alone on military expenditure. The two rebellions lasted for nearly 30 years in total, running through the middle of the Qianlong rule.

Although Liang Pengfei knew that this was because the Qing Dynasty officials made great money in war, vigorously carried forward the spirit of hamsters that they had to eat and get bribes in various links such as military expenses, food and grass. More than 70 million and 200 silver fell to the hands of corrupt officials at all levels. As a result, Qianlong was so crazy that he killed two commanders in succession and finally used A Gui as the commander, and finally ended the local war that was costly to the people and damaged their wealth.

There is also the White Lotus Sect Uprising that started in the early years of Jiaqing. The Qing Dynasty almost exhausted the last trace of vitality and wealth before quelling the uprising that lasted for six years, which also allowed people to see the decline of the Qing Dynasty.
