Seeing Zhu Zhurong's serious expression, Wu Dong took back his words of dissuasion.
Damn it, if you have the ability, go ahead and give it a try. You will definitely get a bloody head by then.
Is private salt so easy to sell? The domestic salt territory has long been carved up.
In this era, salt was still owned by the government. Before the situation in the Qing Dynasty completely collapsed, it would be extremely dangerous to rush into this field.
Of course, since Zhurong Rong had this determination, he was too lazy to say anything.
As the output of the temporary camp gradually increased, driven by the continued growth of profits, not only did the fleet controlled by Zhu Rong have frequent exchanges, but the number of militia members and their families who came to join the camp suddenly increased.
Half a year is enough for the Foshan militia to undergo many changes.
Without Wu Dong's strong management, the militia gradually lost the bargaining power for vegetables, meat and eggs in Foshan.
Although for the current vigilante groups, this part of the power does not bring much income, it cannot support the large number of people and families associated with it.
In the past, when the militiamen had the right to negotiate prices for vegetables, meat, and eggs, the families of the militia members could earn a very stable income.
However, the loss of bargaining power caused Tuanding's family to be exploited by middle forces again, and their originally stable income was suddenly gone.
Without this part of the income, family finances that were not already wealthy suddenly became a little nervous, and the quality of life quickly declined.
This will have an impact on all aspects...
The education of future generations, the retirement life of parents, and the burden of family suddenly made the members feel like they were back to the past.
Even if the militia can provide them with adequate food and clothing, they still begin to accumulate dissatisfaction and resentment in their hearts. This is human nature.
It is a fact that life is difficult for the family, and the vigilante group will not allow them to use supplies from the camp to subsidize their family.
Because of this incident, there was even a wave of public sentiment within the militia.
Now, it was suddenly heard that Wu Dong had founded a business overseas and was prospering, which immediately attracted the attention of many members of the militia groups.
They still remember that when Wu Dong was in charge of the militia, the days of the militia and their families lived without worries.
No comparison, no harm!
At present, under the direct control of Huang Feihong, the Foshan militia has seen a sharp decline in both its momentum and influence.
Regardless of the momentum or influence, it involves the vital interests of the group members. It is difficult not to be cited and compared with the previous good state.
Of course, it is also a Chinese tradition that it is difficult to leave one’s homeland.
Even if you want to defect to Wu Dong, it's not easy to make a decision.
In particular, Yan Zhendong, who had agreed to stay with Wu Dong for another six months, also left the militia at this time. It can be said that Wu Dong's influence in the militia was rapidly reduced at this time.
The personnel movement rules he formulated previously played a big role in this.
The training institutions within the militia have been operating normally. Members of the militia who have received training and have certain cultural knowledge can definitely be regarded as talents in this era.
Since they are talents, according to Wu Dong's original ideas and regulations, they must be put to good use and sent to serve in the industries that have been diverted.
It can be said that Wu Dong's original decision definitely dug a hole for himself.
At this time, after more than half a year, the members of the Foshan Militia Base had almost changed to a new group of people, and they did not have much affection for Wu Dong, the rumored boss.
Fortunately, Wu Dong didn't care much about this, otherwise he wouldn't have set up such a rule in the first place. He was afraid that someone would dominate the militia.
However, despite this, those veteran members who had experienced the period when Wu Dong was in charge of the militia were still quite convinced of Wu Dong's ability.
Apart from anything else, anyone who knows the current general situation of the Foshan militia will involuntarily feel admiration for him.
With Bao Zhilin's pharmaceutical workshop, as well as the fleet and escort agency that were diverted to Guangzhou to provide support, the financial situation of the militia was quite good.
Coupled with the frequent movement of personnel and smooth upward channels, the vigilante group will not fall apart in a short period of time.
Over time, if traditions and habits are formed, outsiders will have to think carefully if they want to target them.
Anyone who understands these things will understand Wu Dong's role.
Anyone with a lot of brothers or sisters in the family has the idea of sending them to a temporary camp on the southwest coast of Khmer.
Apart from anything else, given Wu Dong's habit of holding training classes, even if he cannot integrate into the core circle of the temporary camp, he can at least receive free training for a period of time.
Whether it is studying literature, practicing martial arts, or learning a craft, it is a great thing for them who come from poor backgrounds.
Zhu Zhurong came here in person to help the old brothers in the fleet.
Wu Dong readily agreed...
With enough money and materials exchanged for the temporary camp's production, it was indeed time to recruit more manpower and expand its power.
With the first sea-going ship in the temporary camp, its influence quickly spread to some places in Guangdong Province.
When Zhu Zhurong was focused on building salt fields in Qiongya, Wu Dong had already set his sights on major cities in Southeast Asia.
As the temporary camp has more interactions with the outside world, it becomes difficult to continue to hide it.
In particular, a shipload of valuable supplies shipped out from the temporary camp will naturally attract greedy eyes.
Rather than letting other forces take the initiative to find trouble, it is better to take the initiative to establish a reputation and avoid some inexplicable troubles.
It just so happened that Wu Dong had been practicing martial arts for half a year and wanted to try his own martial arts to see what level of combat power he had achieved.
So, after the temporary camp began to slowly accept the new people sent by the Foshan militia group, and all the affairs were on track and running normally, he began to take the initiative.
The first target is naturally the Kingdom of Siam, which is also located in the Gulf of Siam.
In later generations, Siamese boxers became quite famous and were known as one of the most powerful martial arts in actual combat.
The ancient Siamese boxing method was more bloody and cruel than the Siamese boxing method that had been improved in later generations, so Wu Dong naturally wanted to have a try.
There was no publicity at first, but I took a newly purchased offshore fishing boat and quietly arrived at the seaport city of Siam.
The method is very simple, directly find the local forces and propose a gambling ring.
Faced with the provocation of outsiders who were not afraid of death, coupled with the trust in his masters, and most importantly, the bet was quite tempting, so he naturally agreed readily.
Then, on the sea of the Gulf of Siam, a small floating arena composed of two fishing boats set up on wooden boards made its debut.
And when the local snakes at the docks of Siam Harbor City saw a group of hard-charging people appearing on the offshore fishing boat Wu Dong was riding on, their faces turned green.
The idea that even if the bet failed, I would rely on the advantage of local snakes to take advantage of the bad guys, was completely extinguished. This group of gunmen is not easy to mess with at first glance...
