Chapter 237 The Members of the First Righteousness Gang

"That's the logic!"

Tian Ge nodded slowly, realizing:

"The Beggars Gang also uses 'The World belongs to the Public' as its philosophy, but they haven't done any less of those cruel and heartless things like harvesting body parts from children!"

Peng Qi's beautiful eyes were seductive, and her smile was charming.

"So we can use this matter to turn our weapons into jade and silk with Yan Chu. If this gets out, it will be a case of 'within the four seas, all are brothers,' and 'loyalty comes first, harmony is precious'!"

"It won't cause any damage to the reputation of my First Uprising Gang."

"The Madam is right!"

Since both the Gang Leader and the Madam felt this way, Tian Ge naturally had no objections.

As for the low-level Disciples of the First Uprising Gang, they only needed the Hall in charge of propaganda to come up with some exciting slogans, and they would naturally become hot-blooded and support the decisions of the First Uprising Gang's high-level management.

After all, these people were the foundation of the First Uprising Gang!

Thinking of this, Tian Ge couldn't help but think of another layer.

Within the First Uprising Gang, members at the level of Big Boss or Hall Master and above not only received their monthly salary and various Medicinal Pill resources for Cultivation in full every month, but also received additional bonuses. They held high status in the Jianghu and were considered ideal matches by countless young misses and women from good families.

The monthly salary of a Small Boss would be withheld for a month and only officially issued the following month. Bonuses were not issued monthly like a Hall Master's, but only at the end of the year.

As for ordinary members, they were divided into two types.

One type consisted of those who had officially joined the First Uprising Gang. They had guarantors, had acknowledged a master, set up incense altars, and sworn blood oaths. These people were all registered in the First Uprising Gang's records and could use the name of the First Uprising Gang when traveling the Jianghu.

Their monthly salary was less than one-third of a Small Boss's, and they had no end-of-year bonuses, but they had the advantage of stability.

If they stayed peaceably in the First Uprising Gang for a lifetime, although they couldn't buy a house or marry a wife in Yaoshan County City, they certainly wouldn't starve to death.

If they ever performed some service for the Gang, they could also receive public recognition from the Hall of Rewarding Good, and sometimes there would be small bonus rewards.

So this group of people was quite loyal to the First Uprising Gang.

They also most deeply believed in the First Uprising Gang's slogan of "Loyalty Comes First," truly being able to take a knife for their brothers and carrying out the word 'loyalty' to the extreme when traveling the Jianghu.

Of course, when they saw the dozens of concubines kept by the Elders and Hall Masters, their magnificent mansions, the luxurious carriages they rode in, and the thousands of gold pieces they squandered in brothels and gambling dens, they would sometimes be envious, but they wouldn't be too psychologically unbalanced.

After all, the propaganda from the First Uprising Gang's Elders to the members was very well-executed.

"I only have the right to use that big mansion and luxury carriage for twelve double-hours a day. In reality, they belong to all the members of my First Uprising Gang; every member has the opportunity to ride or live in them."

"Those dozens of concubines are just female Disciples in the Gang who admire this old man and are attracted by my personal charm. It's hard for this old man to reject them and risk offending a beauty."

"If you Disciples have the strength and confidence, you can also set up grand mansions and keep beautiful concubines."

"However, my First Uprising Gang does not quite encourage this. Young people still need to strive more and not let beauty and wealth blind their eyes!"

"At your age, it's the time to strive!"

"Like this old man, I'm already quite old. Even if I wanted to be like you, I wouldn't have the chance anymore!"

This was what the Grand Elder once said publicly to the Disciples at a Gang-wide meeting, and the Disciples deeply agreed.

Opportunities were fair within the First Uprising Gang!

As long as they Cultivated seriously and performed great deeds for the Gang, they also had a great chance to receive Cultivation Technique and resource rewards, and after a few decades, they could even manage to become a Small Boss.

Like Tian Ge's nephew, Tian Xinghe, he relied on his own struggles to make great progress in his cultivation in just over ten years, reaching the position of Vice Hall Master of the First Uprising Gang.

He was also a role model for many ordinary members of the First Uprising Gang.

Of course, most ordinary members didn't know about his relationship with Protector Tian Ge.

The second type of ordinary members were those who admired the First Uprising Gang but, for various reasons, were not qualified to join, yet were still affiliated with the Gang to do work.

These members were collectively called Dispatched Members, meaning anyone could send them to do things, and anyone could order them around.

There were many reasons for not being able to join.

It might be because their own Cultivation Aptitude was insufficient, their appearance was not upright enough, they weren't proactive or hardworking enough in their tasks, their background wasn't good enough...

And various other reasons.

In short, this type of person was even more loyal to the First Uprising Gang than the first type of member.

Their principle was always to believe whatever the high-level management said.

They resolutely executed and always supported the orders of the First Uprising Gang!

They were hostile toward the first type of ordinary members, couldn't stand the Small Bosses, were extremely respectful to the Big Bosses, worshipped the Elders and Hall Masters, and viewed the Gang Leader as a god.

Because they believed it was the first type of ordinary members who had snatched their chance to join the First Uprising Gang.

They believed the Small Bosses were withholding their monthly salary and bonuses.

In fact, such situations did exist.

However, in most cases, if ten portions of resources were awarded by the Gang, an Elder would first take five portions, a Hall Master would take two and a half, a Big Boss would take one and a half, and a Small Boss would take half a portion. The remainder would first be shared among the members who had officially joined the First Uprising Gang, and only what was left after that would be given to the affiliated members.

Of course, these affiliated members couldn't see that.

They could only see that Small Bosses had money to visit brothels, and official members could drink wine and eat meat at every meal, while their attitude toward them was mostly cold mockery and ridicule.

But the Elders and Hall Masters were always pleasant. Every time there was a festive holiday for the First Uprising Gang, they would also hold some dividend activities that allowed these unofficial members to participate, letting their pockets bulge on that day.

This part of the membership believed that the Elders and Hall Masters were all heroes with loyalty as vast as the sky, and that they were the ones holding up the sky for the First Uprising Gang.

So they all took the Elders as role models, studied the Gang rules thoroughly every day, and performed chivalrous deeds externally.

Despite not being official members of the First Uprising Gang and potentially never being able to join for their whole lives, anyone who dared to disparage the First Uprising Gang would be their eternal enemy!

Daring to be disrespectful to the First Uprising Gang was more loathsome than killing their parents; they would have to argue with the other party to the very end!

To the outside world, they were the group that most defended the First Uprising Gang.

They also always felt proud of their status as the leader of a thousand Gangs.

Whenever they saw the Elders of those small Gangs living luxuriously and dallying with women, they always turned up their noses.

"Tch! Just an insignificant small Gang, how can it compare to my First Uprising Gang?"

"The First Uprising Gang is the second-largest Gang in the world!"

"That Beggars Gang may claim to be number one, but it's full of a bunch of beggars; they can't compare to us at all!"

Tian Ge breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

As long as these two groups of members are still here, it's impossible for my First Uprising Gang to fall!

"By the way!"

Madam Peng Qi remembered something and asked:

"You said the Gang Leader just came out of seclusion, and after finishing the meeting, he went back into seclusion?"

"Yes!"

Tian Ge replied hurriedly:

"Moreover, the Gang Leader also instructed that no one should disturb him if there's nothing urgent, and told us to come to you for instructions if anything happens!"

"Is that so?"

Peng Qi's autumn-water-like eyes narrowed slightly, and it was unknown what she was thinking.
