Such a big thing happened at the dock and it was impossible to hide it.
Moreover, most of the young people in the militia were mobilized, and there was quite a commotion.
If the Foshan garrison had not been the Black Flag Army, or if it had been replaced by other Qing soldiers, they might have suspected that the militia was up to something evil.
As the leader of the vigilante group, Huang Feihong naturally heard the news soon.
Zhu Zhurong and Wu Dong were immediately called to Baozhilin. When they met, they immediately asked, "Tell me, what happened over there at the pier?"
"Master, it's not a big deal, it's just that I can't stand the dock gang's bullying of the people, so I'm just trying to get justice!"
Pork Rong was ‘experienced’ and explained everything in a carefree manner.
If he hadn't had a confession halfway through and didn't know the specific situation, just by looking at the man's calm expression, he might have believed this.
Unfortunately, Zhu Zhurong had rich experience in dealing with his master Huang Feihong, and Huang Feihong didn't understand Zhu Zhurong at all. He only believed three points of this guy.
"A Dong, tell me, what exactly is going on?"
He looked at Wu Dong, obviously wanting to break the casserole and ask the question.
Ignoring Zhu Zhurong's frequent glances, Wu Dong calmly recounted what happened at the dock in detail.
"you!"
Huang Feihong's face was very ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "It is not easy to build a militia, and it is not for you to bully others!"
"It's true that someone is bullying others!"
With a slight smile, Wu Dong admitted Huang Feihong's accusation, but changed the topic and explained: "But our targeting of the gangs that oppress the fishermen at the docks is also in line with the purpose of the militia to maintain local order!"
Then, he described the investigated situation to Huang Feihong in detail.
The cruel and cruel methods of the dock gang are absolutely unexpected.
In the past, they not only had a monopoly on the purchase of fresh fish and shrimp, but also kept the prices extremely low and also used credit. According to Wu Dong's investigation, they had forced several fishermen families to death.
As for those who were forced to have their families broken up and their wives separated, there were even more.
When Huang Feihong heard this, his face became even more ugly, but he didn't say anything. He was obviously shocked by the evil deeds of the dock gang.
"The vigilante group has forcibly taken away the right to purchase fresh fish and shrimp. At least they can guarantee that they will be purchased at normal prices!"
Wu Dong smiled and recounted a series of previous actions.
Finally, he solemnly said: "That's what happened. To be honest, there is nothing wrong with the behavior of the vigilante group, and it still leaves a hole!"
"The competition can start at any time. As long as the opponent has enough strength, it is not impossible to regain the right to purchase fresh fish and shrimp from the vigilante groups. What do you think, Master Huang?"
Huang Feihong was speechless, what else could he say?
He was a gentleman who was deeply influenced by Confucian culture. He always felt that Wu Dong's statement was inappropriate, and he seemed to be trying to make excuses, but he couldn't say much.
After all, that wharf gang is indeed no joke. The vigilante group has snatched the right to purchase fresh fish and shrimp from them, which is definitely a good thing for the fishermen.
But it would be impossible for him to praise Wu Dong for doing well.
Although Wu Dong said it nicely and left a hole for the other party, it's not like Huang Feihong had never been in the world, so how could he not know the tricks involved?
What strength can a gang that relies on harsh exploitation of fishermen have?
A gang like this simply cannot afford to hire, let alone raise, highly skilled warriors.
In other words, unless the vigilante group collapses and disbands, the gang has no chance at all.
It is really not difficult for a truly capable martial artist to make money.
There are really very few martial arts masters like Yan Zhendong who strictly abide by the rules and are willing to live in poverty.
If nothing else, even if you work as an escort, your life will definitely be much better than that of ordinary people.
In addition, as long as your martial arts skills are strong enough, you can also directly raise your flag and compete in the competition to earn money through bets and competitions.
Gossip aside, Wu Dong did indeed leave a hole for the other party. As for the other party's lack of strength and the inability to regain the benefits, he can only blame his own lack of strength.
Seeing that Huang Feihong was silent for a moment, Wu Dong kept up his efforts and showed the accounts of the first harvest. What he said shocked Huang Feihong's heart, and it was even harder to criticize him for a moment.
Wu Dong said very straightforwardly that all the money earned would be used to subsidize the needy members of the militia.
What else can Huang Feihong say?
At this time, Zhu Zhurong also spoke: "Master, you also know the situation of the militia members, especially the members who were transformed from the Black Flag Army officers!"
"None of them are locals in Foshan, so it is very difficult for them to find a way to make a living!"
"If the militia cannot provide them with living allowances, it will not take long for them to quit the militia and leave. This is not a good thing for the militia and themselves!"
Huang Feihong nodded silently...
In fact, although the militia in the movie plot is disliked by the government, it is not too fearful. The key is that the relationship between the militia and the Black Flag Army is too close. This is the main reason why the government wants to suppress it.
But if there are many soldiers who were demobilized from the Black Flag Army among the militia, the government would not dare to go too far, let alone target them directly.
If one bad thing causes trouble, even a first-grade admiral will not be able to eat it and walk around in circles.
"But just one hundred taels of income a month is not enough!"
As the leader of the vigilante group, Huang Feihong was not worried about this, but he didn't have a clue before. Now that Wu Dong has an idea, he will naturally not hesitate to express his feelings.
"It doesn't matter, the fresh fish and shrimp thing is off to a good start this time!"
Wu Dong smiled and said: "After that, we can send people to purchase meat, eggs, vegetables and poultry, and even raise them ourselves and sell them to restaurants in the city. The income will not be bad!"
Huang Feihong was stunned and said subconsciously: "Is it possible that you want to attack other gangs? This is not a good habit!"
"It's not that exaggerated!"
Wu Dong said with a smile: "For meats such as pigs, cattle and sheep, Pork Wing should have enough purchasing channels, right!"
Zhu Zhurong nodded, with a look of confidence on his face, and said directly: "No problem, I have been in the pork business for so long, and there are still many channels in this area!"
"For supplies such as vegetables and eggs, you can send local militia members directly to the countryside to purchase them!"
Wu Dong chuckled and said: "We don't bully the people, but the local bullies don't want to get involved!"
Having said this, he said slowly: "If we purchase enough materials, we can send them directly to Guangzhou via the river, and we can sell them at a higher price!"
"If you add up the several boxes, you will definitely earn a lot of money by then. It should be more than enough to subsidize the brothers in the militia!"
Huang Feihong pondered for a long time, and finally said: "Just follow A Dong's idea, but there is one thing that must be done, that is, we cannot bully ordinary people..."
