November 5, 1937. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Chongqing.

When he arrived at the inn, Li Wei opened his mouth and was about to bring up the matter of buying a store, but He Wenyuan stopped him and said, "Boss, stay in the store." ”

The boss looked sick and broken, and he couldn't wait for business to come to the door, and said, "How many days will you stay?" ”

He Wenyuan said: "If it's cheap, stay for a few more days." Anyway, there's no hurry. ”

Boss: "Three people stay for more than three days and get a 20% discount, how." ”

He Wenyuan said: "Okay, then I'll stay." ”

Li Wei is indeed a clever person, although he does not know how to do things like a businessman, he no longer speaks, and goes to rest in the room. After less than two teas, He Wenyuan came upstairs and said, "I bought it, guess how much?" ”

Li Wei said: "Where do I understand the market? ”

He Wenyuan stretched out two fingers and said, "In such a good location, you can sell it for three hundred fiat currency, it's really a loser." I inquired, this area is not a downtown area, just open an inn. Which one is not more than a thousand? Lao Li, take the money. Hurry up and sign the document to write the pleading, saving him from repentance. ”

Fiat currency, which means legal tender. In 1937, the purchasing power was still very strong, and a hundred fiat coins could buy two cows. Chongqing and Sichuan are cheap, one dollar can buy several vegetables, and a hundred fiat currency can buy far more than two cows.

Even so, three hundred fiat currency, selling a dozen small rooms, two large bunk hotels, and a large piece of hillside land behind it is too cheap.

For the next three days, the group stayed at the newly bought inn and hired a few men. One of the guys was originally from this store, unemployed at home, and when he heard that the old owner had sold the store, he came to inquire, He Wenyuan hired him very happily, and asked him to introduce a few guys with good character.

The guys were hired, and they traveled all over Chongqing, buying a large amount of hillside wasteland in the suburbs of Chongqing, and a large area of farmland and wasteland in Shapingba and other places. At this time, the urban area of Chongqing was very small, and most of the urban areas in later generations were barren mountains.

He Wenyuan was careful in his calculations, took out money to bribe officials, spend less and do more. In ten days, everyone saw his talents. It really wouldn't work without him.

Almost all the houses for sale in downtown Chongqing were bought by them. A lot of unclaimed wasteland is directly occupied.

Xiaolu specially asked them to buy as many houses as possible in Hongyan Village, as well as more farmland nearby. Landless peasants can also be hired, one is to build houses as workers, and the other is to cultivate acres.

After buying the land, the advance team immediately started work, hiring people to reclaim the land and build houses. Locals are now in the slack season, handymen in the urban area, and those in the suburbs have nothing to do.

In the task book given to them by Xiaolu, there are economic principles, the essentials of building a house, the introductory knowledge of real estate, and even the technical essentials of terraces.

On November 20, 1937, the government announced that the capital would be moved to Chongqing.

Only a few people in Chongqing knew the news that day, and most people didn't know it yet.

The advance team members were able to come here because they were all shrewd people with flexible minds, and when they learned the news, they were overjoyed and admired the captain's foresight.

The advance team has already started construction of new houses in Shapingba and other places, and the decision to move the capital has just been made, which has not yet been widely disseminated, and of course there are no large numbers of refugees entering Sichuan. News came from Wuhan that the government had decided that a number of government institutions and universities would come in one after another.

Housing prices in Chongqing have not risen yet, buy quickly, buy as much as you want.

The advance team had money in their hands and registered a company called Fuxian Company, which was the name taken by Xiaolu himself. The land for the purchased houses is in the name of the company.

Why register this name? "I Ching" "Shang Jiu said: 'Kanglong has regrets. 'What do you mean?' Zi said: 'The noble but no position, the high but no people, the sage is under and there is no assistance, it is to move and have regrets. The sage is supplemented by the following, and there is no regret. Hence the name of the company.

When the news of the relocation of the capital came, the land reclamation had already achieved results, and Li Wei led people to start farming in the newly cultivated terraced fields. They brought some seeds, which were the first excellent varieties cultivated by Yichun. Corn is planted on high slopes, rice is grown in paddy fields, and vegetables are grown on small plots of land.

The people of Chongqing are diligent and capable, and continue to farm after clearing the wasteland. The salary of the advance team is high, once every half a month, and the money is found. Every night, there are also people who teach culture. Such good deeds attracted a large number of peasants to look for work.

After a few days, the farmers who came to work knew that they could still join the company, although the public capital was small, but the company helped build the house, and there was work all year round, so they offered to join the company.

Li Wei then recruited the first batch of more than 100 local employees.

The new employees are young people, and as soon as they come in, they go to night school and start learning about the culture. To educate the people, I used to watch the captain educate people, but now I still draw gourds, and the team members are still doing a good job.

In addition to reclaiming the land, Li Wei planned several settlements and began to build houses. These jobs are all done in Yichun, but it used to be planned by the captain, and now everyone plans it themselves.

In the past few days, Li Wei's work has been in good order, and Li Wei's self-confidence has been enhanced, and it turns out that in addition to fighting, he can also engage in production, and he can be more independent.

He Wenyuan, the deputy leader of the advance team, initially did not understand Xiaolu's order. According to the mind of his businessman, he should continue to develop production in the northeast and earn money for weapons and equipment, instead of throwing money on land and houses.

However, he carried out the orders of the trail in the same manner as he carried out the military orders.

He had heard the news of the relocation of the capital on the steamer. The steamer came up in Jingzhou with a few people, and when they were chatting, they overheard it from the north. He Wenyuan suddenly realized and sighed: "If the commander was in business, he would have been a huge rich man in the world. ”

He Wenyuan's work is relatively simple, and he only leads more than 20 people to be responsible for business. In order to complete the captain's task of transporting people into Sichuan, he first had to buy a boat, a motor boat.

However, the big ship is not easy to sell, and there are no traitors in Sichuan, so I can't grab it, so I moved the idea of going to Xiajiang, Hubei, and Hunan to take a look, and telegraphed to the road, and the road called back: Go to Hubei quickly and take the Nissin company's motor boat.

He Wenyuan was overjoyed, mobilized his strength, and the passenger ship went to Hubei.

When He Wenyuan arrived in Yichang, he received a telegram from Xiaolu on the ship: Go to the office of the Eighth Route Army in Wuhan and the liaison office of the Northeast Army to get in touch with the operation.

In September 1937, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China sent Dong Biwu to Wuhan to prepare for the Wuhan Office of the Eighth Route Army. In October, the Wuhan office of the Eighth Route Army was established at No. 1 Anrenli, Hankou.

November 20, 1937. Wuhan.

He Wenyuan led more than a dozen people to take the passenger ferry of Minsheng Company and arrived in Wuhan in two days and three nights.

As soon as I arrived in Wuhan, I immediately felt that the war was approaching, and I could smell the Japanese in the air. A large number of refugees have arrived in Wuhan. The docks were full of people, refugees, with Shanghai accents, Nanjing accents, and Zhejiang accents.

He Wenyuan and his entourage got off the boat at Wuhan Guan Wharf, and when they got out of the wharf, a person pulling a tricycle came up and said, "May I ask if it is the third young master from Chongqing?" ”

He Wenyuan: "No, it's the fifth young master from Jiangling." ”

The tricycle driver said, "Are you here to buy one and two?" ”

He Wenyuan: "No, I'm here to buy a refrigerator." ”

The tricycle driver said, "Get in the car." ”

He Wenyuan: "I brought more than a dozen people." ”

The tricycle driver said, "Tell them to go to the Liuduqiao Gaosheng Inn to stay." ”

He Wenyuan turned back to his subordinates and said, "A few of you go to Liudu Bridge and stay at the Gaosheng Inn." I've come to you on an errand. ”

After walking a few streets on a tricycle, the tricycle driver pulled He Wenyuan into an alley, where a sedan was parked.

He Wenyuan got into the car, there was only the driver in the car, wearing the uniform of the Eighth Route Army, and said: "Welcome, comrades-in-arms from Chongqing." I am here to pick you up on the orders of Vice Chairman Zhou. ”

He Wenyuan said: "Are you going to see the vice chairman?" ”

Driver: "Yes. ”

(The historical fact is that on December 18, 1937, five days after the fall of Nanjing, Zhou Gong, Wang Ming, Bo Gu, Deng Yingchao, and others arrived in Wuhan.) The Fang family doesn't have to be serious. )
