Changlu Salt Works is the most important salt production base in North China, producing more than one million tons of raw salt every year, but half or even more of the quantity was transported to Japan by the Japanese army.

This is because raw salt is not only used to make refined salt for food, but it is also a very important industrial raw material, which is of strategic importance to Japan's economic development and military.

The remaining half and 500,000 tons will be supplied to the garrisons and puppet governments in North China, part to Japanese enterprises, part to be transported to Central China and outside the Guan, and the last part is to supply the common people in North China with edible salt, resulting in a cruel phenomenon of salt shortage in salt-producing areas.

North China implements the Baojia system, according to the establishment of the Japanese pseudo, every ten households are one Bao, every ten Jiajia is one Bao, small natural villages become one Bao, and large natural villages form a joint insurance.

Why do you want to mention the armor protection system, because salt, as an important control material, implements a rationing system, and it is not possible for individuals to buy salt alone, and it must be purchased by the head of the armor in a unified manner.

The method now is that basically according to the standard of one pound of salt per person per month, coarse salt is one cent and three pounds of Union Bank coupons, and refined salt is two cents and five catties of Union Bank coupons.

According to the calculation of one ton and two thousand catties, the cost of each ton is thirty-seven yuan, and one ton of coarse salt can be sold, the value is two hundred and sixty yuan, excluding the freight, one ton can earn at least two hundred yuan, and according to the ration of 300,000 tons, that is 60 million!

"These empire's material control institutions take their own interests very seriously, and in the future, our salt farms may be squeezed out by them, Murano-kun, this matter must be guarded against!" Chen Mingxiang said.

He could see that if he made a small fuss, built a small salt farm, and scraped together 20,000 tons of salt a year, the Japanese businessmen might not care, and the face of the gendarmerie was worth this salt.

But now that he occupies such a large piece of salt pan, with an annual output of 60,000 tons, the economic invaders whose interests are affected suddenly turned red-eyed, how much salt is given to Japan every year, that is set by the Japanese government, and one or two cannot be less, Chen Mingxiang's behavior is equivalent to fishing for meat in their bowls to eat!

In a fit of rage, he actually yelled at Naohiro Murano, the gendarmerie officer, if he hadn't moved out of the North China Liaison Department and the Gendarmerie Headquarters of the Koya Academy, the result would not have been easy to say.

"Chen Jun, please rest assured, those who dare to fight against the gendarmerie will not end well, even if they are imperial merchants."

"Their attitude, I will report it truthfully to General Yano, don't forget, a war without an army, all this does not exist, dare to harm the interests of the army, they must pay the price!" Naohiro Murano said gloomily.

The dignified captain of the Jincheng gendarmerie, the dignified gendarmerie Dazuo, was actually slapped in the face by a group of businessmen in front of Chen Mingxiang, and he felt extremely angry in his heart.

It is not a secret that the gendarmerie did not have the means to restrain these salt merchants, and it was entirely possible to use military salt to take any salt from any salt factory except for transporting it to Japan, and it was no secret that the Japanese army often smuggled salt, on the one hand, in exchange for strategic materials, and on the other hand, to raise military expenses.

The Japanese army's funds are not so abundant, so they print counterfeit banknotes in various places and distribute the military expenses to the puppet government, which is not enough, and often smuggles scarce materials for profit.

"I saw Miss Kawashima's sincerity, and this document is indeed worth two thousand dollars, which gives me confidence in the future cooperation." Chen Mingxiang put away a stack of papers and took two thousand dollars for Yoshiko Kawashima.

This is already within the scope of top-secret intelligence, he never expected that Yoshiko Kawashima actually established a file of Nariko Kojima and his subordinates, there are photos and detailed records, and the record is very clear, he can clearly see the trajectory of this female spy in Huaxia.

"There's nothing strange about this, knowing oneself and knowing that the other is invincible, this is a common sense method, in Jincheng, she is my biggest opponent, I don't know her details, how to fight her?"

"Mr. Chen, the cooperation between us will inevitably achieve a win-win result, if you have any needs in Pingjin and Tianjin, you can entrust me to do it, I believe you will not be disappointed." Yoshiko Kawashima said with a smile.

I really underestimated this notorious female spy, although what she did was unforgivable, but to talk about her professional quality and her own ability, she was indeed a very good agent talent, and success was not a fluke!

"We all know that salt is an industry that can make huge profits, although there are two Huai salt farms in central China, that is, the salt fields in northern Jiangsu, but the output and Changlu salt fields can not be compared, whether it is in central China or North China, all the raw salt of the salt fields are exported to Japan in large quantities, and the supply of salt is becoming increasingly tight, for this reason, I plan to open up the salt production and marketing channels from the Changlu salt field to Shanghai."

"With the help of the gendarmerie, today I occupied a large salt pan in the Tanggu Salt Works, and this incident also touched the core interests of Japanese salt merchants."

"The core of material control is monopoly, monopoly can maximize wealth, in the past only the Japanese got this privilege, now I put my hand in, it is bound to take away a part of the benefits." Chen Mingxiang said.

"You plan for me to spy on these Japanese salt merchants, and to keep in touch with them, so if there is any bad news, will you be notified in time?" Yoshiko Kawashima said with a smile.

"A smart person is a smart person, I have a lot of business in my hands, and I have come to Jincheng very few times, so it is difficult to grasp the movements here, and the people in the branches and offices want to extract information from the Japanese, which is difficult for them, and only Miss Kawashima is the most suitable."

"To do this for me, in addition to the necessary expenses, you can also get the support of the Tsujo gendarmerie, which will greatly improve your situation, even if you meet Kojima Nariko again, she will not be able to suppress you anymore." Chen Mingxiang said.

"No problem, I took this commission, Mr. Chen is really red and purple in the gendarmerie system, and he can actually meddle in the control materials in North China, if you want to get this kind of authorization, you must have the approval of the North China Liaison Department of the Xingya Academy, from this point of view, the relationship between you and Major General Shiozawa Qingxuan is also extraordinary." Yoshiko Kawashima said.

In her heyday, she did not dare to touch the core interests of Japanese businessmen, and she knew the power of the Japanese chaebol.

But Chen Mingxiang was able to do it, directly attacked the Changlu Salt Field, and snatched a piece of fat from the mouth of the Japanese, which was incredible.

For such a newly rising force, she is very willing to get closer and cooperate deeply, and the more she knows about Chen Mingxiang, the greater the changes in her psychology.

A drowning person grabs a straw and doesn't let go, but Chen Mingxiang is a battleship riding the wind and waves, and judging from the trajectory of his sailing, nothing seems to be able to stop him.
