Daomu Biji - Chapter 520
Family Introduction: Admiral Nine Gates
My grandfather and even my generation, the source is probably in old Changsha. Dart Ziling and Jude Kao, the seeds that were planted at that time, seem to have finally grown up in my generation.
In order to have a centralized understanding of the local customs and customs of Changsha at that time, I sorted out the content related to “Nine Men Admiral” in Grandpa’s notes, and wrote down together with a lot of interesting things he had said before.
Is something that happened many years ago, and when I read it back, I felt quite.
Old Nine Gate Admiral of Changsha, no one knows or knows. These tomb thieves are powerful, covering all aspects of cultural relic smuggling. Almost all bright objects must flow through Changsha and must pass through one of them.
Why is it called the Admiral of the Nine Gates? There are many opinions on this, the most recognized of which is that because the ancient city has nine gates, merchants entering and leaving the city must choose one of them, which is what it means.
Doing business in Changsha City, you can only choose one of these nine forces, there is no other way to go.
I do n’t know much about these strange people, mainly because Grandpa does n’t want me to know too much about their past. The things these people do are beautiful talks inside the Tao, but they are bad things to say outside the Tao.
The old nine gates and the new nine gates are almost incomparable. Most of the new nine gates are self-proclaimed, and the old nine gates really came out by word of mouth. In an era when information was blocked, it was necessary to have extremely special experiences to spread the word of mouth. It’s not difficult to imagine how far these people are so powerful that they can make the people out of this order.
The nine gates can also be subdivided into three parts. The upper three gates are all well-established old families, and their formal identities are largely bleached. They have a legitimate business on the door, and they are huge in official power. There are indeed some extremely powerful guys in the Shangsanmen who have excellent skills and loyalty, but also because of this, their gradual aging inevitably determines the decline of the Shangsanmen.
Sanmen Ping is the main force of the Lama, these are lonely heroes, the most are a few apprentices, walking in the mountains all day. These people are relatively young, and they have a lot of greed. They kill people and sell goods, and their reputation is desperate, so they have no worries. The big cases after the founding of the PRC are all related to this group of people.
The next three gates are the merchants that antique dealers used to rely on, mainly reselling. Although their skills are not weak, they are not very active. They have a close relationship with the coming and going of the three gates. As for the upper three gates, they are too large in size, and they are not profitable at all, so they have little contact with the next three gates.
If you want to summarize in one word, the upper three doors are the officials in this line, the flat three doors are thieves, and the lower three doors are quotients. Since ancient times, government and business thieves have colluded with each other, of course, here is no exception.
