At this point, Kanayama and his men were finally subdued, and Tang Shan's reputation rose rapidly as a result, becoming the number one martial artist in the world of martial arts in Buddha Mountain. As for the main character of the original drama, Ye Wen, his light was much dimmer. Tang Shan felt a little apologetic about this matter at first, but then he thought of Ye Wen's character of doing nothing and not fighting for anything, and he immediately felt relieved. Perhaps, a calm and peaceful life was what Ye Wen pursued.
With the addition of Jin Shan's group, it could be considered as a precedent for the northern martial arts masters who came to the south to make a living. Many northern martial arts masters who came to Buddha Mountain would come to visit Tang Shan and join the factory. In just three months, the four factories were saturated. Tang Shan then negotiated with Zhou Qing Quan and Ye Wen to expand the scale of the factory again, increasing the number of factories to ten.
Half a year later, the ten factories had a solid foundation and continued to develop steadily. The factory involved food, clothing, housing, transportation, entertainment, and other industries. The total number of workers also reached 50,000, and it controlled almost 85% of the economic lifeline of Foshan. At this time, Tang Shan, Ye Wen, and Zhou Qing Quan were no longer simple martial artists and businessmen. They were the living gods of wealth in the eyes of the people of Buddha Mountain. Their every move could determine the rise and fall of Buddha Mountain.
Under the overwhelming popularity of the people, whether it was the military or the political world of Buddha Mountain, they had no choice but to act according to the expressions of the three people. Even Guangzhou had to think twice before facing the three of them.
However, in Tang Shan's eyes, all this was still not enough. In the face of the catastrophe of the Japanese invaders, all of this was far from enough. Therefore, the development had to continue. It would be best if it could develop to a height that would affect international interests. At that time, even if the Japanese invaded Mount Buddha, they would not dare to act rashly.
Fortunately, Tang Shan still had time.
Three years later, it was 1937.
After three years of great development, the economic network woven by Tang Shan and Zhou Qingquan had finally spread throughout Guangdong and had a profound impact on the entire Southeast Asia. Among them, the branches in Hong Kong and Macau even involved the international interests of the United Kingdom and Portugal.
In these three years of development, practicing martial arts to strengthen one's body had always been the purpose that the workers had to pursue. It was also something that every factory had to do an hour before work every morning. Over the past three years, the workers over the age of 45 had gained a good physique, and the young men between the ages of 20 and 40 had gained a good set of skills. Among them, there were some outstanding young people who had reached the level of martial masters who opened the martial arts hall street.
Tang Shan had once asked Zhou Qing Quan to do a calculation. There were more than a thousand young men who had reached the level of martial artists at the opening of the martial arts hall street, and there were more than thirty thousand young men who were first-class. If this power was gathered together, it would definitely be quite terrifying. It was worth mentioning that after three years of Tang Shan's careful teaching, Martial Arts Fanatic Lin's Kung Fu had also advanced by leaps and bounds, and he had barely practiced the Huo Family Style to the Great Completion Realm. Other than Tang Shan and Ye Wen, only Jin Shan Xun could be compared to him.
As the main character of the original drama, Ye Wen had also made great progress in the past three years. He had risen from the initial stage of Grandmaster to the peak of Grandmaster. It was no wonder. When he was free, he would talk to Tang Shan about martial arts when he was in the mood. Occasionally, they would even help each other. Both of them were great experts in martial arts. Under the verification of each other, their progress was naturally very fast.
In these three years, although Tang Shan did not break through the Great Grandmaster Realm, he had gained something. Not only did he digest everything he had learned, but he also completely integrated all the martial arts into one furnace. Other than that, his biggest gain was probably experience points. In the past three years, although he did not receive any main missions, he had received many side missions. These side missions had contributed thousands of experience points to him. At this moment, he had accumulated 4835 experience points.
One day in late June 1937, Tang Shan was treating an old man in the clinic.
At this time, although Tang Shan was already extremely rich, he had never lost his old profession. In the beginning, many people did not understand this. Later, after seeing his superb medical skills and his kind attitude towards others, they only thought that he was a good person who did not change his original heart. As time passed, they were not surprised.
Suddenly, there was the sound of a motor rumbling outside. Then, a row of planes flew across the sky.
"It's finally here!" Seeing this scene, Tang Shan's expression changed.
Seeing Tang Shan's expression, the sick old man immediately asked,""Master Tang, what's wrong? Did I…"
Tang Shan said," It's fine. Uncle, your illness is not serious. You just caught a cold occasionally. I'll give you some medicine and you'll be fine."”
Hearing this, the old man immediately relaxed and thanked him,""Thank you, Master Tang."
After the old man took the medicine and left, Tang Shan immediately closed the door of the clinic and went to the teahouse of the martial arts fanatic.
After a while, they arrived at the teahouse.
Martial arts fanatic Lin saw Tang Shan from afar and immediately went up to him,""Master!"
Tang Shan nodded and continued," Go and inform Ah Wen, Ah Quan, and Jin Shan. Tell them to come to the teahouse for a meeting."”
Seeing Tang Shan's solemn face, Martial Fanatic Lin couldn't help but ask,""Master, what happened?"
"Go and inform them first. I'll tell you later." Tang Shan said.”
"Alright." Martial arts fanatic Lin responded and immediately did not neglect.
Tang Shan went up to the second floor of the teahouse and chose a private room with the word " Lan ".
After a while, Sha Danyuan personally served the four-colored desserts and tea.
"Brother Shan, I've already learned the move you taught me yesterday. When you're free, help me correct it!”Sha Danyuan said fawningly.
"We have something important to do today. Let's do it another day!" Tang Shan said.”
"Oh!" Hearing Tang Shan's words, Sha Danyuan couldn't help but feel a little dejected and immediately left the private room.
A moment later, Ye Wen, Zhou Qing Quan, and Jin Shan came one after another. Since Martial Addict Lin was also a good master, he sat down.
"Big Brother Tang, what happened?" Ye Wen asked first.”
"The Japanese are here," Tang Shan said.
As soon as he said this, the entire scene instantly fell silent.
Tang Shan continued,"As I expected, the Japanese will soon launch a war against China.”
"These Japanese devils came just in time. We prepared for so long just to entertain them.”Jinshan asked. Although he had been trained by Tang Shan for three years, he still had that reckless and forthright personality.
Zhou Qing Quan, who was more composed in handling matters, asked,""Shan, what do you think?"
Tang Shan pondered for a moment, sorted out his thoughts, and then said,""I have an idea, but it's a little risky.”
"Tell me, as long as there's a chance, it's worth a try."”
Tang Shan said," We now have more than 30,000 fresh troops. We also have weapons and equipment bought through the British Hong Kong government. In the past three years, we have also stockpiled enough food and materials to feed all of Foshan for ten years. This is our capital and confidence. The Japanese's general strategy was divided into two lines. One was from Southeast Asia to the north, and the other was from the three northeastern provinces to the south. With such a long battle line, even if they used Guangdong as a supply center, they would not have many troops. In such a situation, if the Japanese knew our strength, they would definitely not dare to act rashly. They would definitely send people to negotiate with us and even persuade us to join them. In short, they would not easily start a war with us. Therefore, I plan to feign civility with them in the early stages. After the national anti-Japanese tide has risen, I will then attack them in one fell swoop.”
Hearing this, Ye Wen couldn't help but frown and said,""Isn't this a little like asking a tiger for its skin?”
"There's no other way!" Tang Shan shook his head. "That's right, we do have the ability to fight, but under the flames of war, I'm afraid it'll be difficult to protect Buddha Mountain. This is not our original intention.”
Hearing this, Ye Wen immediately nodded and fell silent.
Zhou Qing Quan said," I agree with Ah Shan's idea. After all, although our workers have always been trained, when it comes to a real battle, they will never be as good as a regular army. Even if we can win, our losses will definitely be heavy.”
"Yes!" Tang Shan nodded. He had also considered this point.
After a pause, Tang Shan continued,""Alright, it's settled then. When the Japanese came, Quan and Wen would organize the evacuation of the people, while Kanayama and Fanatic Lin would organize the young men in the factory.”
"Alright!" Everyone agreed in unison.
