Chen Mingxiang has no way to stop this behavior of the Jincheng Gendarmerie, and the current environment is like this, but he instructed Sun Dingxin to give each stevedore two yuan a day as a subsidy, and it is not distressing to give him more, but the situation does not allow it!

"What is the situation at the salt farm, and according to the current output, can we deliver 2,000 tons of coarse salt per month?" Chen Mingxiang asked.

This is another new source of income, and it is also to alleviate the shortage of salt in central China, and the price of the shortage of goods will naturally rise, which is the basic market law.

"All we can get are some relatively remote and small salt farms, which have no capacity and foundation for large-scale production, and they have to complete the task of 2,000 tons of coarse salt every month, which is a bit reluctant!" Sun Dingxin said with a sad face.

In fact, the gendarmerie is not so unreliable in doing things, because Chen Mingxiang's profits from the sale of salt are shared by the gendarmerie.

The scale of those salt farms is small and looks dilapidated, but the actual output is not low, let alone 2,000 tons of coarse salt, even 4,000 tons of coarse salt is no problem.

But Sun Dingxin knows very well in his heart, about salt production, the gendarmerie knows a fart? In front of Naohiro Murano, he will definitely complain and want to fight for more resources.

Moreover, the several small salt farms set aside by the gendarmerie were indeed small retail households that the Japanese army did not look at very seriously, and the salt flats and salt pans of the Changlu Salt Works were all occupied by the North China Development Company and Japanese businessmen, and more than 440,000 tons of coarse salt were sent to Japan in one year last year.

Changlu salt field is still the old method, directly use seawater to dry brine salt, first lead seawater to the evaporation pond, wait until the concentration of sodium chloride in the brine is close to saturation, and then put it into the regulating pool, and then go to the crystallization pool, and then sprinkle two times of salt to promote crystallization, it becomes coarse salt.

It can be seen that on the one hand, the geographical location is superior, and the second is that there must be sufficient area, and these two conditions are indispensable.

"If I can't figure it out, I'll figure it out, no matter what, I have to ensure a minimum of two thousand tons, in fact, Major General Yano means at least four thousand tons, for the Nagashi Salt Field, this figure is easy to complete, and it will not affect the interests of the empire."

"Your Excellency General is thinking that the exchange ratio of the Central Reserve Bills and the Federal Bank Bills we got is one hundred to eighteen, and the value has shrunk too much, is there any good way for Chen Jun?" Naohiro Murano said.

According to Chen Mingxiang's distribution plan, the North China Military Police Headquarters will be able to make a profit of 30 percent from 2,000 tons of coarse salt, that is, 1.5 million yuan in reserve bonds.

However, with the abundant resources of the Changlu Salt Works, the gendarmerie was still dissatisfied with this income and wanted to double the figure.

The 1.5 million Central Reserve Bills will shrink to 270,000 when converted into Union Bank Bills, because the Union Bank Bills are equivalent to the yen, and although their purchasing power is not as good as that of the Central Reserve Bills, this is the Japanese Government's financial policy, and the Gendarmerie feels that it has suffered a big loss.

The Japanese army is capable of printing Union Bank Coupons, which are said to be equivalent to the yen, but don't even think about exchanging one yen, it is nothing more than a means and tool of plunder, and of course the gendarmerie is not far from holding Union Bank Coupons.

"The empire does not allow the Chinese Reserve Bills to be equivalent to the yen, only the Manchukuo Yuan and the Union Bank Bills are equivalent currencies, and I don't have any good way to solve this problem for the time being, if you want to exchange it for hard currency, it is basically impossible, there are not so many on the market at all."

"And whether it is the China Reserve Bills, the Federal Bank Bills or the Manchurian Dollar, they cannot be directly exchanged for gold, dollars and silver, which is also a helpless thing, and we can't fight against the general environment."

"In this way, I converted part of the dividends into kind, according to 4,000 tons of coarse salt, about 3 million in the reserve bonds, I provide 1 million materials, and the rest is cash."

"The command of the gendarmerie will come forward to negotiate with a suitable Japanese businessman, and the other party will provide you with yen, but the amount of cash will be greatly discounted, and the workaround will need to incur expenses, and there is no way out." Chen Mingxiang said.

"Very good, Chen Jun, you are worthy of being a person in our gendarmerie system, you are thoughtful, I will send a telegram to General Yano when I go back, and we will discuss how to operate this matter."

"I know that your strategic materials are basically smuggled from the Jiangtong region in the southwest, and even if you deduct the expenses, as long as they can be converted into yen, we don't care about this loss." Naohiro Murano said with great satisfaction.

This method was not Chen Mingxiang's first initiative, and it was operated in this way in central China, except that the Japanese enterprises designated by the military to receive the materials provided the payment to the Huatong Trading Company in legal tender at first, and later became the Central Reserve Bonds.

The Japanese chaebols who followed the military to China to plunder wealth were not only found in Central China, but also in North China, which was nothing more than turning supplies into yen.

If the amount is too much, it will definitely not work, and it will be investigated and punished by the military department, but the materials of one million Chinese savings coupons can be exchanged for yen at most 100,000 yuan, which is completely acceptable.

When I returned to Tsujo, it was already dark, but Naohiro Murano had a treat, and I had a so-called oden meal at a Japanese tavern and drank some sake, but it took more than an hour to finish, and then Chen Mingxiang came to the Yamato Hotel in the car of the gendarmerie.

This inn is a chain and is managed by the Hotel Division of the Ministry of Transport of the Manchurian Railway, and it is the largest number of hotels outside the customs area, and it is also the most high-end modern hotel today, and even ordinary Japanese are not allowed to enter.

Although there was a full iron backing behind him, in the face of the VIPs of the local gendarmerie, and there were four gendarmes to protect him, the manager of the Yamato Hotel nodded and personally led Chen Mingxiang to the most luxurious large suite, and told the waiter to receive him well.

It is really worthy of being the premier luxury hotel in Jincheng, and there is a separate toilet and flush toilet in the suite, which shows the grade.

Chen Mingxiang carefully inspected the room, found nothing like a bugging device, and was sitting on the sofa just lighting a cigar when there was a sudden knock on the door.

I don't know a few people in Jincheng, who will come to the door during this time period?

Chen Mingxiang is not worried that in such a high-end place, there will be people who will be unfavorable to him, but there are his own bodyguards and four gendarmes outside, and no one can approach his room casually.

A name loomed in his mind.

"It turned out to be Miss Yoshiko Kawashima coming, I was really surprised, please come in!" Chen Mingxiang said with a smile, he guessed correctly, it was really this female traitor who came.

Although the two have only met once, Chen Mingxiang clearly saw that Yoshiko Kawashima was very interested in him, with complex emotions in his eyes that could not be concealed, mixed with some greed, of course, this does not involve men and women.
