The four of them have their own thoughts, and this wine is bland and tasteless, but fortunately, there is still a way not to enliven the atmosphere a little for this common topic.

Chen Zuyan took the initiative to bring up the conversation: "After the meeting ended, I called from home, saying that Chen Jiang was waiting for me at home, and I asked him to go back first under the pretext that there was something!" ”

"It's the end of the year, and I'm definitely here to send money!" Chen Chao looked at Gu Zhenlong, "What kind of charter is this year, to accept it or not to accept it?" ”

"Close!" Gu Zhenlong waved his hand and said arrogantly, "It's all done hard, and the money is ...... to be collected."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chen Zuyan's sneer.

"What is his intention in building this firm, you and I are clear, and I am embarrassed to say that I can accept money with peace of mind?"

"What's not to be comfortable with?" Gu Zhenlong sneered, "Of course, you and I know the reason, but the brothers under our hands don't know, even if they say it, who will believe it?" ”

The other three were silent for a while.

The brothers under his hands also have to eat to support their families, and if they can't eat enough, no matter how noble the righteousness is, it is useless.

And what Gu Zhenlong said is also very reasonable.

Open up material transportation channels and avoid the Japanese blockade in advance?

I'm afraid I'll laugh off other people's big teeth if I say it.

Although they all speculated that they would definitely fight the Japanese, who can say when and where they would fight?

Fighting a war is not about playing chess with yourself, you can put the battlefield wherever you want, even if the gods come, you don't dare to say which way, which place will definitely not be in the war zone.

At first, Gu Zhenlong and others didn't believe it.

They only thought that Fang Bu was trying to get some money for himself and a few close officials, as well as a group of confidants and cronies, and that he was just looking for a high-sounding excuse.

But when the Four Seas Commercial Bank officially started to do business, it was all the side roads that could not be found on the map?

asked Chen Jiang and said that Fang Buwei had specially confessed.

Chen Jiang even took out a map of the hidden transportation routes that had been discovered.

It was only by this time that some of them were believed.

Gu Zhenlong was almost moved to tears.

They never thought that there really were such selfless people in the world?

Next, it is natural to spare no effort to support.

Fortunately, there are these people who have face, and the local dots are also in place, otherwise just the bandits can double the transportation cost of the Four Seas Commercial Bank.

"If you collect the money, you have to do something, don't do a penny, distribute it all, and let the brothers below do their best......," Chen Chao said.

"Divide it all?" Gu Zhenlong sneered, "Do you know how much this year's dividends are?" ”

Gu Zhenlong gestured a finger: "10,000, not legal tender, it's US dollars!" ”

Chen Chao opened his mouth, and Ma Chunfeng was eyelids jumped.

Gu Zhenlong can get 10,000, so wouldn't the secret service be 20,000?

This was all set in the first place, and the other three knew it.

When Sihai Commercial Bank was established, it was the time when the secret service was strong, and they all knew that the money did not go into Ma Chunfeng's pocket, but was all used in the secret service.

So no one had any objections at that time.

But this is no longer the case.

After returning from Xi'an, the chairman of the CPPCC National Committee, in addition to settling accounts after the autumn, also specially instructed that he would approve the funds of the secret service in the future.

Chen Zuyan estimates that it will at least triple or quadruple compared to previous years.

No one can blame this.

Even Chen Zuyan had to be convinced, engaging in spy intelligence, Ma Chunfeng really has a set.

In comparison, He Qingnan is like a straw bale.

Ma Chunfeng groaned for a moment, raised his head and said, "My side is a little more comfortable now......

"No need, let's follow the old routine, you can take it all!" Before Ma Chunfeng could speak, he was interrupted by Gu Zhenlong, "Speaking of which, the Four Seas Commercial Bank can also be regarded as the business of your secret service. And you're familiar with people in Shanghai, so it's okay to help you with one or two......"

What Gu Zhenlong said was really not kind words.

More than half of Shanghai's anti-smuggling and transportation departments have fallen into the hands of Ma Chunfeng.

The Detective Department of the Songhu Garrison Command, the Detective Department of the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou Railway, and the Detective Department of the China Navigation Company are now all under the control of the Special Service Department.

In addition to anti-smuggling, the latter two departments can transfer ships if they want to, and they can transfer trains if they want to.

Especially Chen Haoqiu, who is now the director of the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou Railway Detective Department, as long as the train passes through Shanghai, he wants to requisition a few carriages, it is just a matter of one sentence.

In the past year, he has made it easier for Chen Jiang.

Of course, even if they are righteous brothers, they don't take advantage of it in vain, they should send what they should send, and they should be dotted as usual.

Since this money has been collected, it will definitely not be collected in vain, Ma Chunfeng knew it in his heart, nodded, and did not refuse.

"He Qingnan doesn't have to count on it!" Chen Zuyan sighed, "I'll go and explain it in person!" ”

Because of the incident, He Qingnan was almost locked up, but in the end, the Chen brothers pleaded for him to save him from this prison.

After He Qingnan was beaten by the chairman, he was sent to Xi'an.

The Party Investigation Department also has an anti-smuggling department, and there are party affairs representatives at and above the county level who are responsible for party affairs, similar to later party secretaries.

If there is any friction or entanglement with local officialdom, these people can also play a big role.

"When you negotiate in the past two days, see if there is a chance, and mention in private that the joint resistance against Japan must be united, but the real bandits must also be eliminated in time!" Gu Zhenlong said in a joking tone, "It is said that as long as it is under their rule, the absolute rule of law will be clear, and singing and dancing will be peaceful...... But why was this kid's caravan robbed several times, twice not far from their borders? ”

"If you really want to count it, it's closer to our territory?" Chen Chao smiled again, "Do you still want to question the Northeast Army?" ”

"Well, that's a problem!" Gu Zhenlong nodded, and said to Ma Chunfeng, "The wind direction has changed, and it is not certain whether the Northeast Army is a friend or an enemy, and it should be reined in...... When you see Chen Jiang tomorrow, you remind him, if not, stop the business in the northwest first! ”

"Good!" Ma Chunfeng nodded.

What the hell is going on, these four know it in their hearts.

Chen Jiang asked Ye Xingzhong to go to the northwest with food, bedding, shoes, hats, and silver money, and exchange weapons with the deserters who were scattered by the Red Army, and then sell the weapons to the Northeast Army and the Seventeenth Route Army.

Twice, the bandits in the mountains didn't know the details and ran down to rob, but they were robbed by Ye Xingzhong.

The captured bandits were sold to the Northeast Army on a head-by-head basis.

Of course, sometimes deserters are sold, but not by force.

When encountering those who are helplessly coerced by their superiors and continue to be willing to serve as soldiers to eat, Ye Xingzhong will also do ideological work by the way to let him return to the army.

Of course, it must be the Northeast Army that will return, and it will also collect money according to the head.

But now that the friendly forces have suddenly become enemy forces, and the war is on the verge of breaking out, this business must not be done.

Fang Buwei didn't plan to do it for a long time, and he was going to stop it after doing a big deal before the end of the year, and then look at the trends.

……

After being cloudy for two days in a row, Ye Xingzhong finally got out of the soil nest and leaned on the dirt slope to bask in the sun.

His face was already black, and he was blown by the northwest wind for a winter, and he was about to be the same color as the bottom of the pot.

Ye Xingzhong was comfortably tanned, and a man in his early forties came up.

"Palm refusal, it's been two days, why haven't you seen the goods coming?"

Ye Xingzhong rolled his eyes: "If you are a bandit, you have to guard against a move." What if it's not us, it's the Central Army? ”

"Since you're so afraid, it's not appropriate to put a good soldier, what kind of bandit should you be?" The man scolded, "A gang of straight thieves, have exchanged all the guns for food, will they take burning sticks to rob them in the future?" ”

"What do you care he's going to rob?" Ye Xingzhong scolded, "They don't sell guns, what do Lao Tzu make?" ”

"That's what I said......"

As soon as the man answered, a grizzled young man climbed down the dirt slope, ran over and said, "Shopkeeper, are you here?" ”

Ye Xingzhong rolled over, ran up the dirt slope, and picked up the binoculars.

On the top of the mountain five or six miles away, a group of people rushed down densely, at least in their early teens.

He wore a dogskin hat and the uniform of the Northeast Army.

Ye Xingzhong didn't make a sound, and when he got closer and saw a bandit leader on a horse, he put down his binoculars.

It is indeed his own people who came.

"And horses? Doesn't it seem to be very poor......" The man just muttered, and saw the dense crowd falling down from the mountain, and suddenly exclaimed: "So many people? ”

"Afraid of a ball?" Ye Xingzhong smiled, "Don't say it's a bandit, I'm not afraid of the Central Army's coming......"

The man was just a horse runner, and he didn't know what the identity of Ye Xingzhong who was squatting beside him was, and he really thought he was a businessman.

Five or six miles away, an hour away.

One is that the mountain road is not easy to walk, and the other is that these hundred or so people still carry things.

Or five or six, or seven or eight, each with a rope and a climbing plow.

There's everything on it.

One Czech light machine gun, five or six Bergman submachine guns, seven or eight boxes of ammunition.

There are also fifty or sixty 38 big covers and Hanyang.

In addition to Hanyang, the rest are still the family funds that Zhang Dashuai saved when he was alive.

Of all the local warlords, the Northeast Army had the most advanced equipment.

There were more than a hundred people, all dressed in tatters, several, and there were big gaps in their cotton jackets and trousers, revealing the blackened cotton inside.

The officer on the horse was dressed neatly, but the military coat on his body was so black that he couldn't see the original color.

"Presumably this is the fourth master, right?" The officer on horseback clenched his fists.

"Less nonsense!" Ye Xingzhong snorted coldly, "Be a little smart, Lao Tzu is still in a hurry to go back for the New Year?" ”

"Okay, refreshed!" The officer gave a thumbs up and jumped off the horse.

"The four masters take a look, and if they are satisfied, this single business brother will do ......," said the officer, pointing to the weapon on the plow.

Dog's day outfit is quite similar?

Ye Xingzhong secretly glared at the officer, and circled around the weapon on the climbing plow.

It's all good things, and the worst ones made in Hanyang are at least seventy percent new.

If Ye Xingzhong really did the arms business and sold it to local warlords, this batch of guns could be sold for at least four or five thousand oceans.

"Do it, why not?"

With a wave of his hand, Ye Xingzhong rushed down more than a dozen big men from the dirt slope, unloaded all the guns and ammunition on the plow, and loaded them onto several carriages behind the dirt slope.

"The things you want are inside, if you want to see it, hurry up, Lao Tzu is still in a hurry?" Ye Xingzhong said impatiently.

The officer was not annoyed, and followed Ye Xingzhong to the ground.

Ye Xingzhong turned on the flashlight, up and down, left and right, and shone it again.

Several of the nests were opened, and they were all filled with grain packets.

The officer estimated that there were at least twenty or thirty thousand catties.

There seems to be a lot of food, but if the two sides really do business, Ye Xingzhong still takes a big advantage.

The prices in Beiping and Tianjin are comparable, three yuan for a load of wheat and four yuan for a load of rice, which is just over three cents per catty on average.

Transported to northern Shaanxi, the top of the sky doubled, and 30,000 catties were less than 2,000 yuan.

But that makes sense.

Dare to do business with bandits, without two or three times the profit, who wants to come?

Even if you act, you have to act realistically.

"This person owes a lot of money!" After counting the food packets, the officer rubbed his hands excitedly.

"That's a piece of!" Ye Xingzhong kicked off a quilt at the base of the wall, squatted down and lifted a wooden plank.

Below is a cellar with more than a dozen wooden boxes ordered.

In the past few days, Ye Xingzhong has slept on it, and no one knows what is in it except him.

The officer jumped out of the cellar and opened a box containing eight ceramic jars.

Ye Xingzhong untied the box cannon, knocked the handle of the gun twice at the mouth of the altar, and the mouth of the altar fell neatly.

A smell of medicine came to my face.

"God knows if you will fight with the Central Army again, for fear of being found out, I can only give you the most ordinary goods...... Ye Xingzhong explained.

This is an ordinary Baibaodan, which is sold on the market, and I am not afraid that no one will wonder if someone has resold it to the Red Army.

The officer's eyes were hot.

If you have no clothes, you can hug each other for warmth, lack of food, and you can gnaw on tree bark and eat wild vegetables, but if there is no medicine, the injured comrades can only wait for death......

"Thank you, thank you......" The officer came to shake Ye Xingzhong's hand violently.

"Don't worry!" Ye Xingzhong slapped it away, took out a wooden box from his arms, and handed it to the officer, "This is sulfonamide, this time I only brought ten, save some use!" ”

The officer's breath faltered, and a frenzied light shot from his eyes.

He'd heard of it many times, and it was the first time he'd seen a real thing.

Something that really saves lives is more expensive than gold.

And most of the time, you may not be able to buy one with a gold bar.

The officer was so excited that he couldn't even say words of thanks.

After a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief, covered the wooden box, stuffed it in his arms, and held Ye Xingzhong's hand tightly: "Say 'thank you' to your family for us!" ”

Ye Xingzhong didn't squeak.

The thank you must have been said a long time ago, but he didn't know how the two sides were in contact.

It's strange that people are obviously in the United States, but they can still connect with the organization?

"Don't say more, I'm still in a hurry to go back!" Ye Xingzhong smiled and asked again, "Where is the place to receive the guns?" ”

The officer took out a map and pointed out the way for Ye Xingzhong.

Not far away, at most more than ten miles.

But the Loess Plateau is not only mountainous, but also has many ravines, and if no one points out, Ye Xingzhong may not be able to find it for three days and three nights.

"Okay, you have fun, I'll go first!" Ye Xingzhong patted the officer's shoulder.
