At the door of the bookstore, Lao Fang watched Tang Yi drive away, sighed with some regret, turned around and returned to the bookstore, Zheng Jing, who was watching from a distance at the corner of the street, saw Tang Yi leave first, and hurriedly pulled the car and ran to the bookstore.

In the bookstore, Zheng Jing asked Lao Fang first, "How is it?" Did he say yes? ”

The old man shook his head and said regretfully: "It's worse, it's worse." ”

"Ugh." Zheng Jing sighed after listening to it first.

"By the way, you go out of the city tonight and take that shipment with you personally. When I entered Shanghai Beach at noon, according to what Tang Yi said, I must be tough on whether I saw Japanese soldiers or checkpoints along the way, don't let them check the goods, and let them call the Shanghai Hotel if there is any problem. Lao Fang said.

"Okay, I know, I'll go back and change my clothes and go out of town." After Zheng Jing finished speaking, he walked out of the bookstore and pulled the car away gradually.

Tang Mansion

Not long after Tang Yi arrived home, the eldest brother Tang Zeng also came back from the company, and as soon as he entered the door, he looked at Tang Yi who was lying on the sofa and said, "Yo, Third Young Master Tang didn't go to work today?" ”

"Yo, didn't Young Master Tang sneak back too?" Tang Yi replied with a smile.

Tang Zeng waved the paper in his hand and said, "The second child sent a telegram to celebrate with you!" ”

"Oh? Show it to me. ”

Tang's company has a big business, and the company is naturally equipped with a radio station, and there are also stations in various branches, but there is no place at home, so the second brother Tang Yuan will send a telegram to the company during the New Year's holidays, and it is usually taken back by the eldest brother Tang Zeng.

Tang Yi stood up and took the telegram and looked at it.

"Brother Tang Yiwu, seeing the words is like me, my parents have been in good health recently, whether the relationship between brother and sister is harmonious, whether Yanran is honest and obedient.

I received a telegram from my eldest brother yesterday, saying that you are going to be engaged to Jun Qiao, the eldest lady of the Gu family, I am very happy, I was so excited last night that I didn't fall asleep, listening to the snowfall in Tokyo, but my mind was full of pictures of our childhood play.

In a blink of an eye, even you are already engaged, Gu Junqiao, I still have the impression that she also visited me when she was studying in Tokyo, she is a big beauty! I'm going to congratulate you! But from now on, you have to put away your swinger temperament, and be worthy of others, otherwise I won't be able to spare you when I return home.

Does Jing'er have a favorite object? If you tell my second brother quickly, let me be happy again, hey, I've been really having a hard time in Tokyo lately, and militarism is being propagated everywhere, and people in this country are going crazy.

By the way, you hurry up and urge the eldest brother to find us a sister-in-law, if he is embarrassed to say anything about it, you can ask him to write to me privately, and I will help him find a doctor in Tokyo. ”

After reading it, Tang Yi looked at Tang Zeng with a strange expression and asked, "Big brother, have you read the telegram?" ”

I saw Tang Zeng shook his head and said, "Although your eldest brother and I didn't stay abroad, I still have this literacy, and I didn't read it when I saw that it was written for you." ”

"Uh... Big brother, second brother asks you if there's a problem there. As he spoke, his eyes raised his eyebrows at Tang Zeng's crotch.

"I'll go!" When Tang Zeng heard this, he immediately felt that it was necessary to reorganize the majesty of his eldest brother, and he flew to the sofa and got into a mess with Tang Yi.

Well, then Tang Zeng was captured by Tang Yi and wailed constantly, how could he be Tang Yi's opponent......

"Tang Yi! I'm your big brother! Let me go! Tang Zeng was pressed on the sofa and raised his head unconvinced and shouted loudly.

Tang Yi shook his head amusefully and said, "Big brother, you found it yourself, don't you know what I do." ”

“......”

After the brothers fought for a while, Tang Zeng and Tang Yi each lit a cigarette and sat on the sofa and chatted.

"Third brother, this time our family and the Gu family have joined forces, and our family has said the entire Jiangbei economy! Some time ago, Liang Hongzhi's people contacted me and wanted me to serve in the new government, you see how I will reply. Tang Zeng said with a puff of smoke.

Tang Yi sat up and said seriously: "Big brother still politely refuses them, Wang Zhaoming will come to Shanghai soon, the establishment of the new government is imminent, the eldest brother joins the new government at this time, as soon as the new government is established, the eldest brother will be labeled as the "Liang" faction. ”

"Isn't the "Liang" hat useful? Why do I think that Liang Hongzhi's speech in Shanghai Tang is still quite effective. Tang Zeng asked.

Tang Yi said with a little disdain when he heard this: "Big brother, after this beach, it must be the person of "Wang" who speaks, Liang Hongzhi is already in the waning mountains, but big brother, look at it, as long as the Japanese are still there, they are just clowns who are fighting for power. ”

Tang Zeng still agreed with this matter, he nodded and said: "There is a third child on the Japanese side, I don't know much about political matters, I just need to earn money for you to spend." ”

"By the way, big brother, do you have any spare money lately?" Tang Yi asked suddenly.

"What's the matter, you kid doesn't have enough money to spend? No, how much more do you need for the oil and water in your reconnaissance department plus your monthly expenses? Tang Zeng was a little puzzled.

Tang Yi waved his hand and said, "The cost must be more than enough, but I want you to open a Japanese tavern." ”

"A Japanese tavern? Do you want to get closer to the Japanese? Although Tang Zeng doesn't know much about politics, he is also a smart person.

I saw Tang Yi nod slowly and said: "The boss and the guys inside all invite Japanese, and there are a lot of Japanese women who have been shipped to puppet Manchuria by Japan recently, you can spend more money to buy more good-looking Japanese women, and strive to make the tavern a daily stronghold for Japanese officers." ”

"I remember that there was a small Japanese tavern on the docks, which was frequented by Japanese officers, but it was indeed a little small and shabby, so why don't I buy it and expand it as you say?" Tang Zeng asked.

Tang Yi nodded and said, "Yes!" But big brother must remember to arrange it in your name. ”

"Haha, what? Are you afraid of your wife before you get married? Tang Zeng said with a sneer.

"That's better than not finding a wife, isn't it, big brother." Tang Yi replied with a serious face.

Tang Zeng was speechless for a moment, he waved his hand and called a subordinate and said, "Go and call my driver." ”

After a while, Tang Zeng's driver arrived, and most of the drivers in this era also served as secretaries, and Tang Zeng's drivers were like this.

I saw Tang Zeng clear his throat and said seriously: "You remember, tomorrow I will arrange for someone to go to the dock to buy the Japanese tavern, the boss and the clerk will keep it, and then arrange for the people of the North China branch to go to Manchuria to buy some Japanese women back, and the appearance will be better." ”

During World War II, Japan was notorious for exporting domestic women to foreign countries, forcing them to work in various industries abroad, and then using the money to raise military expenses.

Opening brothels is one of the means by which Japan can make high profits. After the "918" incident, the Japanese Kwantung Army specifically instructed some businessmen to set up companies to import prostitutes from within Japan.

These companies sent many Japanese women to northeastern China to supply brothels, tea rooms, bars, dance halls and restaurants, and many of Japan's largest companies and banks invested heavily in the industry in order to expand.

So it's not a strange thing that Tang Zeng asked the branch in North China to buy some Japanese women.
