Yanggou Village has been really lively these days!

Not only did the backbone village chiefs of the villages come to learn the policy program, but now they have begun to have some craftsmen, such as stonemasons and carpenters, and they also carry their own proud works, such as carved stone tablets with flowers, or dignified and atmospheric Taishi chairs, etc., which are exquisite craftsmen at a glance.

Zhang Ran was very excited, because he knew that the arrival of these people was clearly the model of Mao Diamond, and the siphon effect of buying horse bones had begun to appear!

But in the end, he left only one of the stonemasons and one of the carpenters, and the rest only left them for a meal, a few words of encouragement, and then told them to go back and wait for the notice.

After all, the detachment is still a start-up, and it is difficult in all aspects, and he doesn't need so many traditional craftsmen for the time being.

In addition to these craftsmen, there are often some hawkers in the village who carry their burdens through the alleys of the village, and there are all kinds of needles and threads on the burdens, as well as salt and other items.

On the one hand, these outsiders enter the village, which represents the prosperity of Yanggou Village, and on the other hand, it also brings a lot of potential risks.

For example, possible spies, such as the problem of letting the detachment be targeted by various forces too early, and so on.

Fortunately, the surrounding ten miles and eight towns have gradually been integrated into a monolith by Zhang Ran, and the identity information of these hawkers and the like was all reported one day after Zhang Ran issued the order to assist in the investigation.

When a few hawkers came over again, Zhang Ran called them to the branch for a heart-to-heart talk, and asked them to help the detachment pay attention to all available information while walking through the villages and alleys to make a living, and became the first two secret spies of the detachment.

Of course, it is not enough to let people inquire about information, and it is not enough to rely on policy propaganda, but also to make people feel that it is profitable.

"The ones I inquired about with you just now, as long as you can implement them, our detachment will buy a pickle of salt from you!" Zhang Ran said.

"A pick? That's a hundred pounds! ”

The two hawkers named Ke Langzi and Ren Haifang, who had just become secret spies, were startled, and said in their hearts, Captain Zhang, what do you want so much salt for? Just the dozen or so villages in your detachment's base area, I'm afraid they won't be able to eat so much salt in a month, right?

"What I use it for, you don't care, you just say if you want to do it or not!"

Zhang Ran's old god is here, he won't dislike the salt that will be too much to eat - let's go to the New Year, the little devil will start to operate the territory behind the enemy, ready to fight to feed the war, and he will carry out a crazy blockade of all the base areas, and when the time comes, if you want to eat some salt, it will not be much easier than ascending to the sky!

According to the historical records he knew, at that time, in order to transport salt in, the base area did not know how many ways to think of it, and even melted the salt in the water first, then absorbed it with a cotton jacket, and then returned to the base area in a cotton jacket, and then washed the cotton jacket when he returned to the base area, and boiled the salt out of the water from the washing water.

It can be seen how strict the blockade of the little devils was at that time!

So now, no matter how much salt he hoards, Zhang Ran will not worry about the problem of not being able to finish eating - if he can't finish eating on his side, won't there be the main force of the Eighth Route Army?

The main force of the Eighth Route Army operated this side relatively late in history, but sooner or later it will come.

What's more, Zhang Ran felt that if he could run the base area well, the Eighth Route Army would definitely come over in advance when they heard the news - although the Eighth Route Army was by no means a scheming force, it had the advantage of picking up for nothing, and people would definitely not dislike it.

When the time comes, he will take out a large number of scarce materials and hand them over, which will solve the urgent needs of the troops, so even if the organization wants to liquidate the problems such as pretending to be the Eighth Road and sealing officials at will, don't you have to look at the sake of these materials, and how much will you be light?

As the saying goes, this stretch out your hand doesn't hit the smiling person, not to mention the Eighth Route Army, or the people's team!

Although I made a mistake, in the general direction, it is still right, isn't it?

Therefore, when he bought a handful of salt after implementing a message, Zhang Ran not only didn't feel too much, but felt that it was too little - if it weren't for the fact that he didn't have much money at hand, he would have liked to buy a hundred and ten picks and put them first.

"it, why don't you do it!"

Ke Langzi and Ren Haifang said in their hearts that they would help you inquire about the news, it was just something that they carried with them, but once it was implemented, they could sell a handful of salt!

A picket of salt is dozens of oceans, and you can make five or six yuan of pure income, and you can top your net profit for two months, how can you not do it?

"Okay, then let's settle it - from now on, you two will be the commissioners of my Jindong detachment!"

Zhang Ran patted the shoulders of the two excitedly, and instructed: "But this matter is dangerous, you must pay attention to the way when you inquire about the news, otherwise you will be targeted by a little devil or something, it is not a trivial matter......"

"This commissioner, does he have Minister Mao's official office?" The two asked excitedly.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Zhang Ran coughed violently in his heart, but said on his face: "Not now, but in the future, if the revolution is successful, in terms of meritorious deeds, your merits, that is a big drop%"

Kelangzi Ren Haifang was satisfied when he heard this, maybe he could soar in the future if he made money, so could he be happy?

Although the chances are slim, but what if?

"Inform the militia of all villages, once the outsiders who come in from the base area in the future, especially the outsiders who have nothing to do with the villagers in the base area, must be strictly investigated, and those who can be driven away are driven away as much as possible.

As soon as the two left, Zhang Ran immediately ordered that this base area could not become a place where possible hostile elements could come and go freely, and vigilance must be raised from the beginning!

Wang Changtian and Lu Yan took a small notebook and wrote it down, and when they saw that it was not too early for the night, they left.

Who knew that Lu Yan turned around and came back with a red face.

"What's the matter, do you have any questions?" Zhang Ran asked.

"Can't I look for you for anything other than work?" Lu Yan said aggrievedly.

"That's not going to happen, if you have any difficulties in life, you can also tell me!"

Zhang Ran said with a smile: "When I came here, if you hadn't taken me in, I wouldn't know where I am now, what can't be said between us - I will help if I can, and if I can't help, I will try my best to solve it for you!" ”

"Do you think that when I look for you, I ask you for help and pity you?" Lu Yan's eyes suddenly turned red.

"What do you mean by that?"

Zhang Ran was speechless and comforted: "You are doing a good job as a woman now, and it is you who have helped me - we are now revolutionary comrades, and helping is to help each other and make progress together, so why does it have anything to do with pity?" ”

Usually Zhang Ran talks about these big truths, and Lu Yan only admires and worships when he listens to them, but now he listens to them extremely harshly, and he snorts coldly and turns around and leaves.

"Hey, Lu Yan......"

Zhang Ran chased out the door, and saw that Wang Laogui, Wang Kai, and Shiyuan were each practicing special training such as bomb throwing and shooting with a few special skills, and had to stop, after all, if there was any rumor again, it would not have a good impact on him.

He doesn't care about himself, the key is that he now represents the image of the Eighth Route Army!

Although it is a fake, the villagers and soldiers don't know it, and it is a big sin to smear the image of the Eighth Route Army.

The little dog stared at Zhang Ran with unkind eyes on the side.

Zhang Ran laughed dryly, pulled the puppy's arm into the house and said in a low voice: "What's wrong with your sister?" ”

The little dog angrily threw a pair of shoes in front of Zhang Ran, and snorted with contempt: "Are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid?" ”

The shoes are leather.

The earthy yellow leather surface looks like the one he pulled off the little devil at the beginning, and the bottom has been replaced with cloth, and it is not a rag that was picked up somewhere, but some new cloth.

The dense stitches are very strong at a glance, and you can imagine Lu Yan working every day, and after working in the field, she is fighting hard to collect the soles of her shoes under the dim oil lamp.

Ay......

Zhang Ran put his shoes on the head of the bed and sighed.

Lu Yan's intentions, he still understands it to some extent.

It's just that she's really not the type that Zhang Ran likes.

What he likes is the kind of person who is knowledgeable, graceful and delicate, coquettish and seductive.

Lu Yan's appearance is good, and her figure is also good, as long as she dresses up as a child, she is definitely a beauty, but she is really very different from the woman he wants.

Not to mention that his future is uncertain now, and he doesn't have the heart to think about these things at all!

I wanted to take some time to explain it to Lu Yan, but in the end, Zhang Ran decided to let it go first, after all, it was too hurtful.

"Team Zhang......"

Just thinking about it, Wang Laogui rushed in with an excited face and said, "A few landlords have come over, with a lot of things, and they want to see you!" ”

"I've come here this half night, it seems that I'm really in a hurry!"

Zhang Ran was also excited, and said with a smile: "Ma Chengbang, they haven't come yet?" ”

"Not yet, but the militia came to report that they were already halfway there!" Wang Lao turned around.

"Say I'm not free now, let the landlord who arrived first wait!"

Zhang Ran decisively gave the order.

"Huh?"

Wang Lao was puzzled and said: "When Ma Chengbang and they come over and meet these landlords, then they can't make a lot of noise?" ”

"I just want them to meet and quarrel - what is it called a snipe and a clam fighting, and the fisherman profits, don't you understand?"

Zhang Ran's eyes widened, triumphant.

The heart said that Ma Chengbang and other places are mainly huddled together, and if they want to knock something more from them, it is as difficult as plucking the feathers on the iron rooster, but if there is a dirt between these landlords themselves, it will be much easier to break each one.

So not only is he not afraid that Ma Chengbang and other landlords will meet and quarrel, but he is also afraid that they will not be able to quarrel!
