Wu Jiang is very busy at this moment.

His first task was to collect. After the commander-in-chief led his troops to occupy the passage, he arrived at the passage with the Red Sixteenth Army in the evening of yesterday. That same night, he and his comrades from the Logistics Department, with the support of a regiment of the Special Service Brigade, started their old business overnight: to directly collect the property of various reactionary figures in the channel. As a result, in addition to the 250,000 yuan in the county treasury, they collected 300,000 yuan of silver from the county magistrate's home, 200,000 yuan of silver and 4 small yellow croakers from the home of the county party secretary, 250,000 yuan of silver and 4 small yellow croakers from the home of the county town defense chief, 300,000 yuan of silver from the home of the head of the county security regiment, 600,000 yuan of silver from the home of the county police chief, and 600,000 yuan of silver from the home of the county tax director. At that time, these cunning guys hid these ill-gotten gains very steadily, but this Wujiang was brought up by Li Jiansheng, and he had already made a good job of hiding these money, so the work of digging the cellar was not a problem at all, and he soon obtained unprecedented gains. As for the grain, cloth, gold and silver jewelry in each person's house, as well as the grain of a number of reactionary landlords' families, they were also confiscated.

The nearly 3 million yuan of silver dollars, as well as millions of catties of grain, made Wujiang almost crazy with happiness!

The second thing about Wu Jiang is to go on a buying spree. On the evening of 9 December, after informing commander-in-chief Li Jiansheng of the seizure, Li Jiansheng immediately ordered the logistics system to immediately purchase a large number of various strategic materials, including tung oil, foreign oil, salt, medicines, grain, cigarettes, liquor, and other materials. Early in the morning of the 10th, the channel Shunchanglong cloth store opened. The boss's surname is Zheng, and he used to be a businessman, and he has seen a lot in the world. The original business was still big, but I was sick once and used a lot of money, and this business didn't do it, only sat on Jia. The business is much smaller than it used to be, with only two storefronts. But it's still the same old job, cloth. Lao Zheng reads a lot of people. Yesterday afternoon, he knew that there was another kind of soldier in the passage. Having seen a lot of the world, he knew that the passage was about to change. However, after a serious illness, he saw the world and life very thoroughly. Unlike other businessmen who were wise enough to protect themselves and unwilling to open the door, Comrade Lao Zheng opened the door normally as usual. He believes that it is a blessing or a curse, and that it cannot be avoided. Soon after the door opened, a large number of people wearing strange military uniforms entered, claiming to be the Red Army and buying fabrics from the ocean.

This can make Comrade Zheng stunned. It was only after these Red Army soldiers bought all the fabrics in his store for more than 320 yuan that Lao Zheng reacted! While lamenting that this group of Red Army soldiers was really a benevolent and righteous army, he hurriedly asked the men to do two things: one was to take out all the last 60 or so pieces of cloth left in the warehouse and sell them, and the other was to inform the neighbors. With Lao Zhengtou's notice, the stores in the channel opened their doors to do business, and it turned out that as Lao Zheng said, these Red Army used the ocean to buy all kinds of materials. As a result, the grain, cloth, groceries, and dyes in the entire channel county have made a lot of money. Tung oil, foreign oil, salt, medicines, grain, cigarettes, and liquor were all purchased by these Red Army soldiers who went door-to-door with the ocean. A few clever ones immediately sent men from several surrounding counties overnight through their own channels, hoping to earn some more silver dollars. As for the few restaurants in the county, all of them were politely asked by the Red Army to process dry food, and they were all paid in advance, which made several bosses happy. As for the blacksmith shop, it was also busy making sapper picks and shovels for these Red Army. The only one in the county town who was engaged in the horse business, and all 8 horses in his family were bought, and nearly 300 oceans were sold. The boss, surnamed Wang, stayed as he counted the money. At noon on the same day, he personally went out of the city and transferred horses to the surrounding counties. In the next 6 days, he sold more than 40 horses to Li Jiansheng's department, so that all the horses in the surrounding counties were sold short. As for Boss Wang, this time Dayang can make a lot of money. You know, the purchasing power of silver dollars was very strong in this era. A silver dollar can buy 7 catties of pork in Shanghai, and it will be even more in a more remote place like the channel!

In fact, it was Shao Qianqian, commander of the regiment-level cavalry company, and Wu Jiang, logistics minister, who were personally appointed by Li Jiansheng to buy horses from Boss Wang. After knowing that there were horses in the passage, this Comrade Shao Qianqian insisted on pestering Comrade Wu Jiang to ask for a purchase. Comrade Wu Jiang really couldn't bear Comrade Shao Qianjian's hard work, so he had to lose the battle and agree to buy all of them and personally come forward to procure. In fact, at the beginning, Li Jiansheng gave Comrade Shao Qianjin only more than 60 horses, and this time he purchased more than 40 horses, plus 6 horses collected from the passage, and now his cavalry company has finally begun to take shape and is worthy of its name, this horse has 122 horses, just the establishment of a cavalry company! Of course, when Li Jiansheng knew that the cavalry company had become large, it was after he was demoted to the position of corps commander!

When he received the order conveyed by Li Zhi, Wu Jiang was in the county government of Tongdao County, cleaning up the conference room of the county government according to Li Jiansheng's arrangement the night before. Privately, he also cleaned a few rooms for his most respected commander-in-chief, intending to let the commander-in-chief live. After receiving Li Zhi's order, Wu Jiang didn't think about it, and immediately asked the other personnel of the logistics system to put down the work at hand, and a regiment temporarily allocated to him by the special service brigade immediately went into battle with all the members to boil hot water, cook food, and prepare new military uniforms. Fortunately, these works began last evening and have been going on until this morning, first of course, to satisfy the material brigade and guard regiment of the Red Third Front; It's not difficult to strengthen it now.

Hot water and food can be solved with your own troops, but military uniforms cannot be solved in one gear. Wu Jiang was also clever enough to use the method of "troops + masses" that Li Jiansheng had originally engaged in in the base area here, and directly ordered military uniforms and quilts from the local masses in the way of the ocean. As a result, on that day, the masses who had made clothes and quilts lined up in long lines to hand over clothes and quilts to the Red Army and receive wages. Wu Jiang's original intention was to hand over some of these clothes to the Red Third Front Army, and then part of them to be stored in the logistics system for future emergencies. But now with Li Jiansheng's order, all this batch of materials was handed over to Chen Guang, the commander of the Red Second Division of the Red First Army, and Liu Yalou, the political commissar.

This time, Wu Jiang needs it more and more. Those fellows who had already handed over their clothes and quilts were busy going back to get the fabrics and continue to do as much as they could, and the Red Army bought as much as they could. Because it is paid in the ocean, the people in and near the county town are very enthusiastic about making military uniforms and quilts, especially the poor people, who have never seen this kind of pie-in-the-sky good thing? You know, a set of military uniforms, the ocean is one yuan; The same goes for a quilt! On the evening of December 9, after Li Jiansheng proposed this price, Wu Jiang was still a little hesitant, and later saw that the commander-in-chief was resolute, so he did not say much. How did he know, Li Jiansheng knew that the total number of the Central Red Army was less than 50,000 at the moment. According to the head of a new military uniform and a new quilt, the total is only 100,000, and this silver dollar is only 100,000, which is nothing for this large army and a big harvest!
