In the main hall of Baozhilin's backyard, Huang Feihong saw the visiting Wu Dong and Yan Zhendong, and felt happy after learning their purpose.
If I was really sleepy, someone would bring me a pillow...
"Yes, Master Huang, I need to hire a group of reliable people to help make soup, transport and purchase medicinal materials and finished soup, and also have some protection duties!"
"Such manpower is hard to find!"
Huang Feihong sighed, saying this was not to add weight, but it was the fact.
Naturally, he knew what was going on when Wu Dong asked for workers.
If it had been done before, he would have had to hesitate, and it would be difficult to be such a mediator.
The benefits are exciting!
Whether it is purchasing medicinal materials or making soup, there are too many ways to manipulate it, and one bad step may lead to bad things.
The tricky aspects of procurement are the same regardless of whether they are ancient or modern or Chinese and foreign.
As for the process of making soup, it is easy for hired workers to figure out the specific formula of medicinal materials, which will cause even greater losses.
Not only that, there may also be problems with transportation and security.
There are currently no mountain bandits or gangsters in the urban area of Foshan, but there are various Jianghu forces, old and young.
Once you ask them to keep an eye on them, various unexpected situations are likely to occur along the way.
As long as he thinks about the trouble involved, Huang Feihong is unlikely to be a guarantee.
But the situation is different now...
"Huang has an idea, which will not only allow the little brother to get enough trustworthy manpower, but it will also be a good thing for the little brother and save him a lot of trouble in the future!"
Huang Feihong was very gentlemanly and did not use any hard-to-get tactics. He just pondered for a moment before answering.
"Oh, I wonder if Master Huang has any suggestions?"
Wu Dong was a little surprised, he didn't expect Huang Feihong to be so enthusiastic.
If it were him, he would have to consider such a request. After all, a bad person would be blamed if he didn't take it seriously.
"Join the Foshan militia group that will be formed soon!"
Huang Feihong Zheng Erzhong suggested: "When the time comes, my little brother will directly hire members of the militia. I think there will still be some protection!"
"Join the vigilante group?"
Wu Dong was a little surprised, but he just pondered for a moment and said: "Can a foreigner like me join the local militia?"
"Little brother, you are too worried. There are many Black Flag Army officers joining the militia!"
Huang Feihong explained: "As long as the little brother is willing, it is very simple to join the vigilante group!"
Did the Black Flag Army officers also join the militia?
Wu Dong immediately grasped the key points, and after just a moment's thought, he understood what was going on.
Seeing Huang Feihong's face full of sincerity, he said directly: "Could it be that the Black Flag Army has encountered some trouble?"
He already knew exactly what the trouble was, and it was just a deception to deceive Huang Feihong.
"Hey, I really can't hide it from my little brother!"
Huang Feihong was magnanimous. Seeing Wu Dong's reaction, he did not deny it but said helplessly: "I don't know what happened, but the imperial court actually wants to reduce the size of the Black Flag Army and let some soldiers leave the Black Flag Army!"
"You have seen Mr. Liu. He is a loyal man. He is reluctant to disobey the court's orders, but he also wants to find a way out for the brothers who have left the Black Flag Army!"
"Then, I thought of asking Huang to organize a Foshan militia group and put the Black Flag Army officers and soldiers who were willing to stay into the militia group, which would be an arrangement for them!"
Tsk!
Huang Feihong is really a magnanimous gentleman. He actually said such a thing so directly and straightforwardly. He is indeed not a good candidate to be the eldest brother.
Glancing out of the corner of his eye, he happened to see Yan Zhendong and Yacasu's shocked expressions. It was obviously the first time they had heard of this.
There is nothing good to say about what happened to the Black Flag Army.
Seeing that Wu Dong looked calm and didn't seem to be surprised at all by what happened to the Black Flag Army, Huang Feihong felt a little uncomfortable and asked directly: "Little brother, you don't seem to be interested in such things?"
"That's not true!"
Sensing Huang Feihong's displeasure, Wu Dong said with a smile: "In my opinion, such a thing is simply unavoidable!"
"How to say?"
Now not only Huang Feihong, but also Yan Zhendong and Yacasu next to him were interested.
"What is the background of the Black Flag Army? It also defeated the French army in Annan. Can it be called a strong army?"
Wu Dong spoke leisurely, and Huang Feihong nodded in approval.
"Such a powerful army is not a direct descendant of the imperial court, and it cannot even be controlled. How can the imperial court let it go unchecked?"
With one sentence, Huang Feihong's face changed slightly, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became dull and somewhat depressing.
Yes, the government doesn't even trust the Han generals who are directly related to them, so how can they trust the Black Flag Army, which is extremely powerful but comes from the Tiandihui?
"According to my little brother's wishes, such suppression..."
Feeling very uncomfortable, Huang Feihong hesitated to speak.
"Won't stop!"
Wu Dong was not polite and directly said what Huang Feihong had not said.
"Why……"
"Master Huang, don't worry, the militia is actually a very good way to preserve the Black Flag Army's combat power!"
Wu Dong smiled and said: "As long as the drills of the militia can keep up and the disbanded Black Flag Army officers and soldiers remain heartbroken, they can still play a role at critical moments!"
"Master Liu means the same thing!"
Huang Feihong was shocked. He didn't know what he thought of, but he said a little frustrated: "But Huang is not good at these things, and he has no idea how to manage the militia!"
Having said this, he looked at Wu Dong and invited him again: "In the military camp before, Huang found that my little brother is very talented in this area. Why don't you come to the militia to try?"
"This is not impossible!"
Wu Dong smiled slightly and said leisurely: "It's just that I'm usually busy with business matters..."
"Don't worry, little brother, the militia doesn't have that many rules. In addition to practicing at a fixed time, the most they can do is help maintain order in the city. It won't waste time!"
After saying this, he paused, looked into Wu Dong's eyes and said: "If the little brother is willing, after the militia is established, the little brother will be the leader of the militia!"
This is what I've been waiting for!
Wu Dong wanted to shake his head and scream. He really wanted to invite him to join the militia. How could he do it without an official position?
It is simply impossible for him to become an ordinary member of the regiment.
Only when he has a position in the militia can he do what he wants to do.
"I agreed, but I have to let Master Yan become the leader of the militia!"
Of course, just one position is not enough, there must be strong helpers, and Yan Zhendong is the best candidate. Who is to say he is particularly good at playing? This is what Wu Dong wants.
"Can!"
Huang Feihong was stunned for a moment, then readily agreed, looking at Yan Zhendong subconsciously, showing a kind smile...
