February 12, 1941, the twenty-fifth day of the lunar calendar.

Zhou Lin and his entourage finally returned to Mingzhu, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

After going to the gendarmerie headquarters to say hello to Yamada, Zhou Lin returned to the dock.

Under the leadership of Shen Xiping, many section chiefs came to Zhou Lin's home.

"As soon as you came, it reminded me that it was time to send money. By the way, what if I don't come back? Zhou Lin asked Shen Xiping.

"Many units have sent fish, chickens and ducks, and if the director does not come back, we are ready to divide the fish, chickens and ducks, and we dare not share the money."

"Why?" Zhou Lin didn't know what he meant.

"This year, due to the blockade of the Imperial Army to trade materials to areas not controlled by the Imperial Army, many merchants are not doing as good business as before, and various units have not paid money. Even after investigation, it is also a year-old goods. Everyone got the New Year's goods and exchanged their own ideas for money. Shen Xiping said.

Zhou Lin has been running outside for two months, and he still doesn't know some of the circumstances.

Hearing this, Zhou Lin asked, "Did anyone buy the New Year's goods?" ”

Wang Hu hurriedly said: "Everyone is sending New Year's goods, who buys New Year's goods?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhou Lin didn't dare to give money to everyone openly.

"So, are you willing to ask for money or New Year's goods?" Zhou Lin asked.

The head of the special section hurriedly said: "Of course it is asking for money!" Whoever wants so many New Year's goods will spoil as soon as spring begins. ”

"That's good! We also have people in the decipherment department who have all the New Year's goods. ”

As soon as Zhou Lin's words ended, someone immediately sighed.

"What do you sigh about? Don't you see that my words are only half spoken? Zhou Lin stared and said.

The sighing man immediately put on a smile, and that smile was more ugly than crying.

Zhou Lin immediately turned around: "I don't look at your laughter, it's bad." ”

Shen Xiping hurriedly asked: "Director, there are thousands of people in the two departments, all waiting for you to give alms." ”

"What about the soup kitchen?" Zhou Lin immediately asked the chief of the general affairs section to come over.

As soon as he saw Zhou Lin summoning him, the chief of the general affairs section immediately reported: "This year's dividend is 100,000 oceans, and 50,000 oceans will be handed over to the military police headquarters, and there are still 50,000 oceans left." ”

Zhou Lin sighed: "It's much worse than last year." ”

Everyone nodded again and again, but there was no way, the imperial army stipulated that many things could not be traded, so that Mingzhu's turnover this year was the lowest in the history.

Zhou Lin asked people to guard the door, and everyone's eyes lit up.

Immediately, the captain of the squad happily volunteered to guard the goal.

"People below the team leader will distribute New Year's goods worth thirty-five oceans."

The chief of the General Affairs Section immediately took out a pen and a small notebook and wrote it down.

"The team leader, the head of the unit, and the head level will distribute New Year's goods worth fifty yuan."

"Section chief-level New Year's goods of 100 oceans will be issued."

"Deputy Director Shen and I distributed 200 oceans of New Year's goods."

The chief of the general affairs section looked up at Zhou Lin: "Director, there is no such money for the New Year's goods." ”

Zhou Lin waved his hand: "What is said below is not allowed to take notes, you can only remember them in your heart." ”

Everyone was overjoyed, and there was something in the director's words, and they pricked up their ears to listen.

"After all the people have distributed the goods, if they are not willing to ask for so many New Year's goods, they will be recovered from the original price in the department as a gift for us."

Although the captain of the action team was guarding the door, he really heard Zhou Lin's words, and he couldn't help shouting happily.

"You're cramping!" Zhou Lin was startled and scolded.

The captain of the operation laughed silly, not much better than the fool on the street.

Don't underestimate these 100 oceans, these 100 oceans are old and moneyy.

Since the Japanese control area or the national control area is issued paper money, the price of goods has risen a lot.

The value of paper money is becoming less and less money, and the ocean is becoming more and more money.

According to the price of goods in Chongqing, three years ago, 100 fiat currency could buy a big cow, a year ago, 100 fiat currency could buy two pigs, and this year, 100 fiat currency can only buy one pig.

Last year, a large ocean was exchanged for a hundred legal currency, and this year, it is already a large ocean against 500 legal currency.

The current 100 oceans are up to the 500 oceans sent from the dock the year before last.

Take it to exchange, 100 oceans can be exchanged for 50,000 banknotes.

But no one is stupid enough to exchange the ocean for paper money that is becoming less and less expensive.

Everyone happily went out to deal with the dirty business.

The chief of the general affairs section immediately made two reports, one is the signature form of all the staff to receive the New Year's goods, indicating that everyone has received the New Year's goods.

Then he made a goods purchase form, indicating that everyone sold the New Year's goods to the department.

As long as you sign these two forms, all the people from the Exit and Entry Administration Department, the people from the Deciphering Department, and the people from the five groups of outer group bases can get the blowing ocean.

Not to mention, under the incentive of the factor of money, everyone is particularly efficient.

In one afternoon, all the money that should have been divided was gone.

Even the people on the island base all came and ran to get the money.

As a result of this, many units called to ask and sold New Year's goods to the dock at half price.

And their personnel are behind the scenes, scolding the director for the bloody dog.

After Zhou Lin counted the New Year's goods in the warehouse, he immediately escorted the car to give gifts to the relevant departments.

The gendarmerie command towed a cart, fish, chickens, ducks and wine.

The headquarters of the Japanese army in China is no less than the command of the military police.

The Fourth Division, no need for Zhou Lin to send it, they have already driven to pick it up.

The Eighteenth Division, which has a share every year, still has to be given this year, and Tanaka is there.

The Detective Department, after investigation and handling, the Secret Service Bureau, the three families were divided into one car.

After these are divided, there are still some things in the warehouse that have not been divided.

Zhou Lin asked the chief of the general affairs section to empty the warehouse on the grounds of sharing the festival goods of the Lantern Festival.

And Zhou Lin divided two copies, and under the initiative of the bald head, everyone unanimously approved to give Xiangjun, who has meritorious service to protect the safety of the director, and enjoy the treatment of dock people.

Xiangjun happily accepted the New Year's goods and sent the New Year's goods allocated to her and half of the New Year's goods distributed to Zhou Lin to Yulan.

These things are for Huangmei Theater, as well as Li Ziqiang and Lotus Sister-in-law. Everything was secretly sent by Magnolia.

However, Yulan told Zhou Lin a piece of news that made him very sad.

This year, Yan'an is particularly poor, and the chiefs only have half a catty of mutton, which is still raised by the guard troops. As for rice, millet, noodles, beans, oil and other daily necessities.

Moreover, the supply of supplies to the Eighth Route Army was at the lowest level

It turned out that in January 1941, Japan's North China Front, in accordance with the plan of its headquarters and the headquarters of the dispatch army, decided to still focus on "suppressing the communists" and demanded that its units fight more actively and quickly restore "law and order."

In terms of operational guidance, it is emphasized that it is necessary to bring into play the overall strength of the military and the political authorities and to carry out military, political, economic, and cultural "all-forces warfare" in order to consolidate the areas they occupy.

In order to strengthen the North China Front, the Japanese Army Headquarters transferred troops from Central China, so that the strength of the Japanese army in North China reached about 300,000 in 11 divisions and 12 independent mixed brigades, and there were still more than 100,000 puppet troops.
