Chapter 183: The Bazaar
At the junction of Fuping County and Laiyuan County, there is a small mountain village called Zhang Xinzhuang, which is located at the foot of the Taihang Mountains and belongs to the meeting point of the mountains and plains.
This small mountain village is very distinctive, surrounded by mountains on three sides, one side faces the plain, the village faces the direction of Taihang Mountain, there are more than a dozen mountain roads leading to different directions of the mountain, and on the side facing the plain, there is a large empty field and a large road leading to the plain to walk the carriage.
The common people in the village are also very distinctive, half of the villagers tend to the little arable land around the village, and the other half of the villagers go into the mountains to hunt or pick mountain goods for a living.
It can be said that this small mountain village has the common characteristics of both mountains and plains.
The most different thing is that there is a large empty field at the entrance of Zhangxinzhuang Village, and a spacious street connecting the open space and the village, this street is more than 100 meters long, and there are some vacant shops on both sides of the street, and there is no damage, it looks very neat, but the doors are all closed, and there are no pedestrians on the street.
This empty field and street in Zhang Xinzhuang turned out to be a very prosperous trade bazaar, which was quite lively. The shops on both sides of the street are grain stores, haberdashery stores, grocery stores, and pharmacies that have been in the market for a long time.
However, after the Japanese devils occupied North China and swept up several times, especially after some innocent merchants died tragically under the knives and guns of the devils, most of the merchants who opened shops here were frightened and fled from Zhang Xinzhuang.
On this day, a mysterious businessman came to Zhang Xinzhuang, he took a few people around Zhuangzi several times, carefully checked the path into the mountain, and the road leading to the outside of the mountain with Zhuangzi, especially in the original market wandering for a long time, and finally, nodded with satisfaction and quietly left.
This mysterious businessman is the person selected by the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region to operate the mountain goods trade, named Wang Derang. He was a veteran comrade of the logistics supply department of the military region, and he was responsible for the livelihood of the personnel of the military region's organs for a long time, the management of work and miscellaneous work, and the procurement of various materials from enemy-occupied areas, and he has always been fighting on the front line of the economic struggle in the base areas.
Wang Derang has done a very good job in his post, and has set up a military service club, a tofu factory, and a pig farm in the base area, and has made certain contributions to the economic development of the base area.
This time, the military region handed over the task of launching a large-scale circulation of mountain goods to Wang Derang, because he felt that he understood the economy, had experience, was familiar with the land, and had a wide network of contacts, and could give full play to his strong points.
After Wang Derang received the task, he felt that the task was arduous and the pressure was very great, his cultural level was not very high, although he had rich practical work experience, but his theoretical level was limited, unlike Feng Tiandong, who was familiar with and understood the economic laws contained in the mountain goods trade, and his understanding of businessmen was not very profound. Therefore, Wang Derang has always held a half-believing attitude towards whether the mountain goods can be circulated.
But doubts are doubts, since you have accepted the task, you must do everything you can to complete it. For a few nights, under the dim oil lamp, Wang Derang looked at the map, carefully inspected the base area, the enemy-occupied area, and the area where the two sides met, trying to find a suitable place to open a market.
Then, during the day, Wang Derang shuttled non-stop around the mountainous area, inspecting more than a dozen mountain villages, and Zhang Xinzhuang was one of the villages he inspected.
After many comparisons, Zhang Xinzhuang was in a superior geographical location, and there were ready-made shops on the ground, and all the conditions met the conditions for opening a mountain goods circulation market.
A few days later, a trading warehouse called "Jufeng" chose a shop in the original market space of Zhang Xinzhuang and opened quietly.
The first thing after the opening of "Jufeng Warehouse" was to play the signboard of purchasing all kinds of mountain goods.
However, a few days passed, but no one came to trade mountain goods, and the market was deserted, there was no flow of people at all, only a few people from outside the mountain, after watching the market for a while, shook their heads and left disappointed.
Neither the people in the mountainous areas nor the small traders and hawkers outside the mountains have taken the initiative to join the ranks of trading mountain goods, and there has been no contact between the ordinary people in the mountainous areas and the areas occupied by the devils for a long time, and there are great concerns on both sides, and they are both waiting and seeing, and no one dares to take the lead.
Faced with this situation, Wang Derang was extremely anxious, he was well aware of the huge benefits that the circulation of mountain goods could bring to the base area, and the situation in the market in front of him was beyond his expectations.
If this situation cannot be changed as soon as possible, the situation of large-scale circulation of mountain goods trading will not be able to be smoothly opened, and Wang Derang did not dare to delay, and hurriedly sent people to report the situation to the military region headquarters.
In Guhuai, through Feng Tiandong's arrangement, Huang Zhiquan and An Jianming met in the private room of the "Yanchun Building".
On that day, Feng Tiandong invited An Jianming to come to the "Yanchun Building", and the two of them were chatting happily in the private room on the second floor. And in the private room next door, Huang Zhiquan waited there alone.
During the banquet, Feng Tiandong suddenly showed a burst of abdominal pain, left the table and went to the toilet, went out of the private room, and knocked on the door of the private room where Huang Zhiquan was according to the agreed signal.
An Jianming, who was sitting alone in the private room waiting for Feng Tiandong, saw Huang Zhiquan who pushed the door and walked in, and was stunned for a moment, thinking that he was here to sanction himself, and instantly broke out in a cold sweat: "Ah! It's you! ”
Time was pressing, Huang Zhiquan didn't care about An Jianming's surprise, and said straight to the point: "That's right, it's me, An Jianming, what do you plan for the future." ”
"I'm all like this, what else can I plan, I only have regrets now." An Jianming didn't know what Huang Zhiquan meant, so he didn't hide anything, and said directly.
"Are you going to die for the devil like this?" Huang Zhiquan asked sharply.
"No, it won't! No, it won't! Group, I'm also forced to be helpless. Group, I look back now, can the organization still accept me? An Jianming shed tears of remorse.
After listening to An Jianming's words, Huang Zhiquan was very happy, and felt that he had not mistaken An Jianming, and it seemed that he would have a good result when he came here today.
"Jianming, I've been paying attention to you, which is why I can meet here today, and I also hope that you can return to the military command. Now that time is precious, let's talk about your arrest. Huang Zhiquan's tone became softer.
An Jianming knew about the situation of the military commander and knew that this was a necessary procedure, so he made a detailed report to Huang Zhiquan about all the circumstances after his arrest, including his inner thoughts, and even told Huang Zhiquan why he and Feng Tiandong came here for dinner.
Then, An Jianming once again expressed to Huang Zhiquan that he was willing to change his past wrongs and return to the military command, which made Huang Zhiquan very pleased.
Since he easily believed in Jiang Zhihua and caused An Jianming and the two to be exposed, Huang Zhiquan has always had a sense of guilt for the two of them, and this time he was able to fight for An Jianming to return to the military command, which can be regarded as eliminating a piece of Huang Zhiquan's heart disease.
In this way, Huang Zhiquan initially accepted An Jianming's return, and at the same time, Huang Zhiquan asked An Jianming to lurk in the special high school as an undercover agent of the military commander Gu Huai's group. He had already thought about it and was ready to ask Feng Tiandong to find a way to urge An Jianming to climb up, strive to sit in a good position, and provide greater help for the actions of the military commanders, he couldn't rely on Feng Tiandong for everything.
Feng Tiandong deliberately delayed outside for a long time, leaving enough time for Huang Zhiquan and the others, until he saw Huang Zhiquan leave their private room, and then walked in again.
