When the independent brigade hid in the Damei Mountain to train its troops, the little devils were not idle. [No pop-up novel network]

After the capture of Nanjing, the Central China Front immediately transferred two divisions, and the troops were divided into two routes along the canal and the Jinpu Railway all the way to the north, in order to respond to the North China Front Army moving south, but when it advanced to the Huai River line, it was met with stubborn resistance from ****, and it was hard to advance for more than a month.

At this time, little Japan's logistical support capabilities were somewhat unable to keep up.

In terms of weapons and ammunition, Japan's industrial manufacturing capacity is still quite strong, at least several orders of magnitude stronger than that of China at that time, so it can still supply weapons and ammunition.

However, grain and cotton and other materials are not produced by factories, but must be grown by peasants, and if the national treasury is still sufficient, the Japanese government can still buy grain from overseas, but the problem is that after the full-scale outbreak of the Sino-Japanese war, the Japanese government's treasury has been exhausted, and in order to support the war of aggression against China, the Japanese government has issued two treasury bonds in a row, and even the financial resources of the private sector have almost been exhausted.

In the words of then Japanese Prime Minister Fumima Konoe, if the Chinese incident could not be fully resolved within half a year and the Chinese government could not be forced to surrender, the Japanese government would be declared bankrupt.

Of course, this is an exaggeration, and Konoe Fumima deliberately shouted bitterness, but it is undeniable that the Japanese government's finances were indeed extremely tight at that time, and this was the main reason why the Japanese army had to stop its frontal attack after entering the end of the 38th year.

Under such circumstances, the Japanese government simply cannot afford to continue to feed the millions of troops on the Chinese battlefield! Therefore, the Japanese War Department issued an order, ordering the Kwantung Army, the North China Front, and the Central China Front to find their own ways to solve the supply of food and clothing, and the War Department was only responsible for the supply of weapons and ammunition.

The orders issued by the Japanese War Department were broken down and passed down layer by layer.

The final amount sent to Puxian County is 500,000 catties, which must be paid within one month.

After receiving the order, Kameda Ichiro, commander of the Pu County Military Police, immediately broke down the amount of 500,000 catties, and finally distributed the quota to Meizhen was 200,000 catties, and the deadline was half a month to pay off

Pu County has jurisdiction over three towns and six townships, of which Meizhen is a traditional grain production town, because the Dameishan Basin in the Dameishan Basin surrounded by Dameishan is fertile, and irrigation is extremely convenient, the annual output can account for almost half of the county's cotton grain output, and it is precisely because of the 10,000 acres of fertile land in the Dameishan Basin that the Huang family is qualified to become the first household in Pu County.

After receiving a call from Kameda Ichiro, Huang Shixun, the chairman of Meizhen, immediately sent someone to call Huang Shouyi, Huang Shouzhi's two sons, and the housekeeper Huang Delu to discuss countermeasures.

Speaking from the bottom of his heart, Huang Shixun actually didn't want to be the maintenance chairman, but he couldn't stand Huang Shouyi's repeated persuasion, and two months ago, a squadron of devils entered Meizhen, and under the pressure of the Japanese, Huang Shixun had no choice but to agree to Kameda Ichiro's request to serve as the maintenance chairman.

In front of his two sons and the housekeeper Huang Delu, Huang Shixun slammed the dry tobacco pipe on the table leg twice, and said with a dark face: "I'll just say, I'll just say, how can the Japanese be so good?" This is not troublesome, 200,000 catties of grain, good guys, the Japanese really dare to open their mouths. ”

Huang Delu also said: "This Japanese is too unreasonable, this green and yellow is not accepted, and every family can't live without renting, where can the surplus grain be paid to the Japanese?" Master, we can't agree to this, otherwise, this will lead the villagers to death*, and they will be poked in the spine. ”

Huang Delu is telling the truth, it is just the beginning of spring, it is the most difficult time for the tenants and poor peasants, that is, those well-off families with solid backgrounds, the family is afraid that there are no more than a few catties of surplus grain, according to the meaning of the Japanese, Meizhen will pay 200,000 catties of grain, 2,000 households in Meizhen, and it will be 100 catties per household! It's fatal!

Huang Shouzhi was meaningless, spread his hands and said: "But the Japanese have already spoken, can we do it if we don't do it?" Otherwise, Dad, our family will be able to get all the 200,000 catties of grain. ”

"Put P!" Huang Shixun was furious when he heard this, and a brass dry tobacco pipe hit Huang Shouzhi's head with a head and face, and scolded at the same time, "Lao Tzu's grain is also hard to save, not from the wind, why should Lao Tzu pay for those mud legs?" ”

Huang Shouzhi hurriedly dodged, and said with a bitter face: "Just say it, Dad, how can you do it?" ”

Huang Shouyi also hurriedly stepped forward to grab Huang Shixun, but reprimanded Huang Shouzhi: "Third child, you see what kind of bad idea you came up with, make your father angry like this, hurry up and compensate your father." ”

Huang Shouzhi flattened his mouth and said, "Dad, it's okay if I'm wrong, don't be like me." ”

"Sooner or later, I'll make you angry." Huang Shixun scolded, but the anger in his heart was much smoother.

Huang Shouyi helped Huang Shixun sit back on the Taishi chair, and said: "Dad, although the words of the fourth child are not listened to, but the first half of what he said is not wrong, the Japanese have spoken, we are afraid that it will not work if we don't do it, these 200,000 catties of grain, whether it is robbed or cheated, we have to find a way to collect it after all." ”

"It's light, rob? That has to be owned by people, too! Huang Shixun said, "But the second child, take a look, in addition to the few families in the town, which one else has surplus grain?" ”

Huang Shouyi said: "They don't, our family does." ”

"Second child, you're angry with me too, right?" Huang Shixun is a little hot again.

"Dad, you listen to me after I finish speaking." Huang Shouyi said, "Our family's grain is not given in vain, it is borrowed, and each family has to take the land deed as collateral, if the rent is not paid in the autumn, then their field is ours." ”

Huang Delu was anxious when he heard it, what he was most afraid of was this, and he said to Huang Shixun at the moment: "Master, we can't do this, the villagers, we can't take the big guy to a dead end, besides, our family is doing this, in fact, we are carrying the black pot for the Japanese, the villagers don't know it, they won't blame the Japanese, but will only scold our family for doing things without leaving room for it, sir......"

Huang Shouyi's expression immediately cooled down, looked at Huang Delu coldly, and said in a quiet voice: "Uncle Delu, you are still not the housekeeper of our old Huang family, how can you help those mud legs talk?" ”

Huang Delu ignored Huang Shouyi and continued to persuade Huang Shixun: "Master, we have to leave room for things, and we can't dry up and fish, kill J and take eggs." ”

"Well, what you said is reasonable, leave a line in everything, and see each other in the future, we can't do this thing." Huang Shixun is an old generation, and he pays attention to the golden mean, although he has also annexed the fields of the villagers over the years, but he is fair and the price he gives is reasonable, so his reputation is not bad.

After a pause, Huang Shixun said to Huang Shouyi again: "Shouyi, you have a good relationship with Kameda, so you can go to the county seat and tell Kameda, we can't finish these 200,000 catties of grain, let's talk about it in autumn." ”

Hearing Huang Shixun say this, Huang Shouyi knew that he could no longer change it, and immediately responded yes.

However, Huang Shouyi does not agree with Huang Shixun's approach in his heart, he thinks that this is the benevolence of women, and the way of today's world is the way of people eating people, if you don't eat people, people will eat you! You take care of the villagers, but the Japanese won't take care of you, and the board will only hit the Huang family.

Therefore, after leaving home, Huang Shouyi did not go to the county seat, but went to Xinghualou in the west of the town to order a good table, and then asked Huang Shouzhi to send someone to invite Liu Heiqi, the head of the Black Dragon Society, the real person of Yiguan Dao Sect Burning Lamp, and the head of Hongmen, Hong Jiugong, to Xinghualou.

The Huang family is the first household in Meizhen, and they are also the most powerful, which is true.

But Meizhen is not only a force of the Huang family, and the power of one by one cannot be underestimated, since he can't do the work of his father Huang Shixun, Huang Shouyi decided to bypass Huang Shixun and use the power of the Daomen to get things done, in short, the errand given by the Japanese must be done well, and it can't be discounted at all!

Huang Shouyi knew that Liu Heiqi and the other three were all old rivers and lakes, and he was not a child at all when he played tricks with them, so he went straight to the point as soon as he came up.

Huang Shouyi gave a general idea of the grain payment, and then went straight to the point: "The grain used for rent will be shared among the four families, and one family will be 50,000 catties. ”

Liu Heiqi, Randen Zhenren and Hong Jiugong looked at each other, all a little suspicious.

In the end, it was Liu Heiqi who asked: "Second Young Master, are you saying that the rented grain will be released by the four of us together, but the deducted land will be divided equally between the three of us, and you don't want any of it, as long as you have the right to decide on crop planting in the next ten years?" ”

"That's right." Huang Shouyi said, "I just have this condition, and the three masters will give me a happy word." ”

Randen Zhenren was still a little worried, and asked again: "Second Young Master, can I ask you first, after these tens of thousands of acres of land arrive, what do you plan to plant in the next ten years?" ”

"I knew you were going to ask this." Huang Shouyi smiled slightly, and Jiao Jiu wrote two words on the table.

"Big Smoke?!" Seeing this, Liu Heiqi, Randeng Zhenren and Hong Jiugong immediately lost their voices and exclaimed.

Huang Shouyi smiled and said, "How is it, the three masters should be relieved now, right?" ”

Hong Jiugong thought about it for a while, and then said, "Second Young Master, if such a big matter is asked by Master Huang......

"It's okay, my dad has me, I'll tell him." Huang Shouyi waved his hand aggressively, and said, "My father is an old brain, and he can't keep up with this era anymore." ”

"Yes, yes, in the future, it will be the turn of the second young master to be in charge of our Mei Town."

"The real person is right, the second young master is a capable person who has returned from abroad."

"Second young master, just rush to today's matter, I didn't say it, I'm Liu Heiqi to serve you."

After listening to Huang Shouyi's words, Liu Heiqi, Randeng Zhenren and Hong Jiugong began to slap Huang Shouyi's horse P, and praised Huang Shouyi as a unique person in the world.

A major event that hurts the heavens and reason, and it is decided in this way.
