Zheng Xuan really drank three glasses of wine and left. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Feng Jingzhai waited for the last dish to be served, waved his hand to let the two little maids go back to sleep, and then raised his wine glass to toast the second uncle and Zheng Yi respectively.

Zheng Yi finished drinking and began to eat and drink, and only after eating two bowls of rice did he put down the bowl, lifted the wine bottle, and filled the wine glass for Feng Jingzhai and the second uncle: "You said just now, my brother Zhou has been living in Huafeng Company and waiting for me to go back?" ”

Feng Jingzhai nodded: "It was he who found me with your Uncle Yu Shi's business card and the official document of the Ministry of Quartermasters, and then he has been living in the newly completed small building of your company, and he has called me three times a day in the past two days, asking when you will be able to come back, I guess there is really something important." ”

Zheng Yi thought about it again and again, but he still couldn't judge Zhou Junruo's true intentions, but he didn't want to go back to meet Zhou Junruo so soon, so he put the matter aside for the time being, and asked Feng Jingzhai in a low voice Who was the buyer of such a big order?

Feng Jingzhai lowered his voice and told the truth: "The buyer is Zhou Jinglin, a fellow senior in Xuzhou, and his two sons are the heads of the local security regiment. ”

"This big buyer is likely to be Lao Jiang's opponent, otherwise he would not have set the delivery location at the small fishing port between Qingdao and Lianyungang."

Zheng Yi nodded slowly: "As far as I know, the Belgian foreign bank is sending a shipload of weapons and ammunition to the Qilu warlords, including 80,000 rifles and twenty-four Swedish-made artillery. ”

Feng Jingzhai understood a little: "I will send a telegram to Xuzhou early tomorrow morning to see how the situation has changed, and if he still insists on buying, I will ask him to pay the money first." ”

Zheng Yi smiled and picked up the wine glass, touched the glass with Feng Jingzhai and then touched it with the second uncle, finished it in one gulp, and let out a long breath: "This champion red tastes good, but if you drink too much, you will go up, let's be here tonight, I haven't been able to sleep well for almost a week on the boat, and I feel tired." ”

Feng Jingzhai readily agreed, and when he saw Zheng Yi about to stand up, he suddenly asked, "How is the business between you and the Gui family doing recently?" ”

Zheng Yi was slightly surprised: "I've been making a little fuss and can't make any money, so you asked about this so suddenly?" ”

Feng Jingzhai smiled: "If you can, can you buy a few batches of local tobacco from the Gui department?" Although the quality of Yungui's local tobacco is almost poor, but the price is cheap, now the two lakes and the two rivers of the business road are broken, so that Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and sea supply is in short supply, the most secondary Yungui local tobacco purchase price has also doubled, if the Gui department is willing to help, there is a lot to do! ”

Zheng Yi finally understood: "Okay! I'll send a telegram back tomorrow, and there should be a reply in three days. ”

Feng Jingzhai was very happy: "By the way, tell the other party that you need at least 5,000 catties per month." ”

Zheng Yi was taken aback: "Do you have so much cash?" ”

Feng Jingzhai laughed: "Don't forget, Xiao Du opened a bank, haha!" ”

Feng Jingzhai's proposal was in Zheng Yi's arms.

When Huang Shaohong secretly went to Hong Kong to purchase weapons and ammunition, he also asked Zheng Yi to exchange cloud chips for weapons, because Gui Province, which is mountainous and has few places, really doesn't have so much money, and the Gui army has developed to this point, and nearly half of the credit comes from the cloud chip trade, but Zheng Yi knew that Wang Jingwei's faction was secretly supporting the Gui faction, so he didn't agree to Huang Shaohong.

Now that Feng Jingzhai has a strong demand, there is no shortage of cloud chips in Gui Province, which connects Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, where cloud pieces are produced, and Zheng Yi is also willing to push the boat along the river and make profits at both ends.

Zheng Yi also hated the huge poison brought by cloud slice to the Chinese people, and there were many people who smoked cloud slices, among which there were not many poor and poor people, but more of them were landlords, rich gentry, warlords, and capitalists who lived relatively well.

As time went by, Zheng Yi integrated deeper and deeper into this society, and gradually found that things were not the same as he imagined, almost every county was openly selling cloud pieces, and almost every force was using cloud pieces to make profits, cloud pieces have become a hard currency in social life, and their role is not much worse than gold and silver.

Based on the above reasons, Zheng Yi finally "opened his mind", since he can't get rid of the accumulated evils if he doesn't do it, seeing that social gangs, warlords and even high-ranking officials of the Kuomintang in various places have made a fortune because of the clouds, if he stops speculation, at least the funds he earns from it can be used for the revolutionary cause.

However, Zheng Yi did not immediately agree to Feng Jingzhai, on the grounds that he needed to contact the Gui Provincial side before it could be finalized.

Feng Jingzhai was very happy, he knew that Zheng Yi and the two giants of the Gui family were related, as long as Zheng Yi was willing to do it, it would definitely be implemented soon, so he was full of expectations for this matter and was very optimistic.

……

……

The next morning, Zheng Yi did not rush back to Huafeng Company to meet with Zhou Junruo, who had been waiting for many days.

After a hearty breakfast, Zheng Yi personally drove with Feng Jingzhai to the Swire Pacific Company in the Public Concession, introduced two senior staff members of the Swire Pacific Company to Feng Jingzhai, and then handed over the bill of lading that had paid the tariff to Feng Jingzhai, and then went shopping with his second uncle, and did not drive back to the Huafeng Company in the French Concession until 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

Zhou Junruo complained for a while when he saw Zheng Yi, and then took a large bag of gifts given to him by Zheng Yi, opened the bag and looked at it, and was secretly grateful: "Why did you buy so many shirts?" There are also two pairs of trousers, all in foreign languages, which must be very expensive, right? ”

"It's hot, you can't wear the uniform issued by the army every day, right? It's all summer clothes, and it's not worth a few bucks. Zheng Yi lazily sat on the newly configured leather high soft chair, touched the exquisitely made, wide and thick mahogany boss table, and slowly picked up the coffee and tasted it.

Zhou Junruo quickly closed the bag, sat on the Western-style soft chair opposite Zheng Yi, and told Zheng Yi all the reasons behind President Jiang's invitation in one breath, revealing quite mysteriously:

"I heard Uncle Yu Shi say that the Quanxu Department of the Ministry of Military Affairs will soon appoint you as a lieutenant general and senior staff member through the personnel report of the Ministry of Military Affairs, responsible for guiding the specific operations of the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Ordnance Industry Administration."

Zheng Yi was taken aback, and it took a while to react: "What the hell is going on?" Can you tell me about it? ”

Zhou Junruo immediately told Zheng Yi the details of President Jiang's inspection of the Jinling Arsenal, and said it vividly and thoughtfully, and finally said with emotion:

"The six branches and eighteen workshops of the entire Jinling Factory, only the two workshops that imitate the M1929 submachine gun are satisfactory to the principal, and these two workshops are guided by the two senior technicians you sent from the beginning, and only these two workshops implement the management system of your Far East Machinery Manufacturing Company, so the contrast is very strong, not only President Jiang himself was very touched, but the chief officers of the various departments who accompanied President Jiang to inspect also have a deep understanding, and many people suggested that you invite those senior technicians back again, Provide comprehensive guidance on the production technology and management system of Jinling Arsenal. ”

Zheng Yi shook his head again and again: "There is no problem with letting me send someone over again for guidance, but I can't do that so-called lieutenant general senior staff, others don't know my situation, don't you, Uncle Yu Shi, and Uncle Zhou Shi know?" To put it mildly, I'm very busy now, busy making money, and I can get at least 180,000 oceans into my pocket every month, how much can a lieutenant general earn every month? ”

"How can you say that?"

As soon as Zhou Junruo said it, he realized that he had lost his temper, so he had to pause for a moment, adjust his tone, and explain bitterly: "Do you remember what you said to me when you were at the Whampoa Military Academy?" At that time, all you had in your heart was the rejuvenation of the country, the prosperity of the nation, and you were meticulous and conscientious in everything, and I never heard you mention money! ”

Zheng Yi smiled: "Brother probably forgot, I am a party-state rebel who participated in the Nanchang riots, and there are no less than 10,000 soldiers of the Dian Army, the Jiangxi Army and the Whampoa Army who died in my hands!" ”

Zhou Junruo pouted: "Who still pursues your past now?" You are not the only senior general in my Whampoa Army who has come and gone, and there are no less than ten senior generals who joined the Communist Party in the early years. I don't see anyone being discriminated against, not to mention that after you left the Communist Party, you have repeatedly made significant contributions to the party-state, which is obvious to all, what are you worried about? ”

Zheng Yi smiled bitterly: "Okay! Not to mention, tomorrow I will go to Nanjing with you, but I will first say okay, you can help for a few days, but it is not okay for a long time, before the end of the month, there will be three ships of Nanyang rice and materials transported to Shanghai, and I will go to Wuhan to help my eldest brother sort out the business in Wuhan, sell a few trading companies and shops, and then he will be transferred to the Hong Kong Governor's Office as a second-class commercial counselor. ”

Zhou Junruo was a little anxious: "Don't say this to me, tell Principal Jiang and Uncle Yu Shi." Seeing that the war is coming, it is the time when the party-state needs you to do your best, at this critical time, no matter how busy you are, you have to help Uncle Yu Shi share some of the burden, right? ”

Zheng Yi was silent, he really didn't know how to explain it, he also cherished his personal relationship with Yu Feipeng, and also hoped to get some important information through this trip to Nanjing, but he didn't want to cause organizational misunderstanding because of this, but it was difficult to find the organizational report for instructions for a while, so it was inevitable to fall into a dilemma.

"What? Still haven't figured it out yet? ”

Zhou Junruo looked at Zheng Yi's eyes fixedly.

Zheng Yi had no choice but to show a compromising smile: "Okay, let's go and meet Principal Jiang first, and then I'll talk to Uncle Yu Shi about my hardships and see if I can take care of both public and private affairs, but there is one thing I need Uncle Yu to understand, I really can't accept the position of lieutenant general and senior staff member, otherwise there will be no more freedom at all." ”
