Erbai, that is, white sugar and white salt, this is the most distinctive material provided by Jiang Cheng to the Taihang Mountain Military Region, and now most of North China has traces of salt and sugar in the Taihang Mountain. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"203, you see, although our Erbai's business is not as prosperous as before, it has always been in an endless stream." Deng Xianxian pointed to the busy convoy and said.

Jiang Cheng nodded and smiled, "This is also normal, who called our things cheap, the power of capital is very terrifying." ”

Deng Xianxian took a long breath and said, "You're right, the more I look at such a scene, the more terrible it feels, the devils can't stop them from coming with bayonets and massacres, you said that one day we liberate the whole country, and many things abroad are cheaper than our domestic ones, so will there be many people who find ways to smuggle abroad?" ”

Smuggling, this is a profiteering industry that can be compared to illegal trading such as drugs, even in the future generations can not be completely eradicated, Jiang Cheng persuaded and explained, "We can only do our best to do this, and the more important thing is to formulate the relevant legal provisions, the rule of law is more important than the rule of man, I have asked some financial experts to come, and when the time comes, you can let them check the account books." ”

"It would be better to find out something, 203, in fact, every time I come here, I am happy and afraid that someone will do something stupid." Deng Xianxian said with a smile.

Jiang Cheng looked at the other side of the mountain and found that it was lush, so he asked, "Where are we paying less taxes?" It's a good plant! But I don't think anything is the same. ”

Deng Xianxian smiled and said, "203, have you ever farmed?" ”

In this era, it can be said that there are very few people who have not been in contact with agricultural affairs, most of them are bureaucrats and literati, and most of the leaders of the Red Party are extremely knowledgeable about agricultural affairs, but Jiang Cheng has really never wielded a hoe.

Deng Xianxian looked at Jiang Cheng and shook his head, then smiled: "Go!" Let's take a look. ”

A group of people came to the hillside, Deng Xianxian pointed to the mountain field and said, "Our original common people are really dependent on the sky to eat, backward technology, farming is more extensive, on the issue of what to plant the market is also extremely slow, we organized a peasant association, delegated a lot of technical personnel, taught our villagers deep ploughing, autumn ploughing, fertilizer and other technologies, and flexible use of the characteristics of the crops themselves, in the millet field with mung beans, sorghum in the field of river beans, millet in the field of small beans, the peasant association and asked for mutual help, plus our agricultural loans, The contradiction between the villagers' demand for farm tools and labor has been alleviated, and the grain production has been effectively increased. ”

Jiang Cheng clapped his hands and said, "Okay, wow, this is a little interesting, by the way, I also want to ask, how do we prevent empty salaries?" ”

Deng Xianxian pointed at Jiang Cheng and said, "You really asked, just right, I'll show you something, and as he spoke, he took out a small book from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Cheng." ”

Jiang Cheng opened it and saw that it was something similar to a passbook, Deng Xianxian said, "In fact, this empty salary is the most hateful thing in all corruption, not to mention anything else, why the national army is always defeated, an important reason is this empty salary, in the roster above it is written that there is a division of 10,000 people, in fact, there are only three or four thousand, among which there are many old and weak, the commander above is according to 10,000 people to arrange troops, as a result, do you really win or lose the fight?"

Moreover, the waste of funds is even greater, every time the grassroots report an extra soldier or an extra handyman, it will waste three or four hundred yuan a year, and if it reports 1,000 more people, hundreds of thousands of dollars will be wasted every year! That's not a small amount. We require every comrade to have his own special code, and unless the military region agrees, it is not allowed to change this code, and this code is six digits, the first two digits are the numbers of various places, and the last four digits are the special codes of individuals; if there is a new transfer, it will be ranked last, and if there is a death or transfer, the number cannot be moved, but the name is empty, so that the opening of false reporting of the number of people is blocked. ”

Jiang Cheng opened the book and saw that the code on it was 0013623, this is because Deng Xianxian was transferred to the 120th division later, so the code is behind that.

Jiang Cheng also nodded to Deng Xianxian and said, "This method is not bad, my visit this time is really eye-opening." ”

-- Chengdu

Sichuan, is the real base camp of the Chongqing National Government, known as the anti-Japanese war revival base, before the war Sichuan in the industry is actually nothing in the country, the province more than 30 workers in the factory only 115, the capital is only 0.58% of the national capital, the industrial scale is limited, and the limited industry has to provide support for the military industry, the help for tax is extremely limited, which makes agricultural tax, salt tax and customs duty become the most important source of tax revenue.

"Levy 6 million city stones, buy 6 million city stones, 12 million ah... It's not easy. Zhang Qun sighed as he watched the crowd come and go on the streets of Chengdu.

Zhang Qun is the chairman of Sichuan Province at this time, after Liu Xiang, due to the tradition of Sichuan people governing Sichuan, Jiang intermediary sent Wang Zhangxu, who has been close to him, to take over as chairman of Sichuan Province, but unfortunately because Wang Zhangxu is too close to Jiang intermediary, the people in Sichuan resisted, and finally had no choice but to lead the army out of Sichuan to resist the war, and the position of chairman of Sichuan Province was concurrently held by Jiang intermediary, and Jiang intermediary was handed over to Zhang Qun after a year, Zhang Qun as a veteran of the White Party, vice president of the Executive Yuan, status and prestige are extremely high, and he is a Sichuan person, and the people of Sichuan have nothing to say.

Since then, Zhang Qun has been in Sichuan until the end of the war, becoming the mainstay of Chiang's mediated rear, it is worth mentioning that Zhang Qun is also the backbone of the Department of Political Science, which makes Sichuan also a large base of the Department of Political Science.

"Although we Sichuan has always been known as the country of abundance, but now there is no surplus grain in the landlord's family, 27 and 28 years are bumper harvest years, we have increased the power of procurement, so that the price of grain has risen, as a result of the sudden drought last year, the grain output plummeted to 50% of the full year, this year it seems that the grain harvest will not be too good, difficult..."Huang Jilu nodded and said.

"Does Huang Gong know what the price of rice is now?" Zhang Qun asked, touching his beard.

"It's... The last time I watched it, it seemed to be almost 100 yuan. Huang Jilu thought for a while and said.

"In the twenty-seventh year of the Republic of China, the price of grain in Sichuan was only 9 yuan, and in the twenty-eighth year because of the bumper harvest, although the price rose, but the magnitude was not large, until the end of the year, it suddenly rose, but it was only 12 yuan, but now? It's more than 115 yuan! And it's still rising...."Zhang Qun felt a headache when he thought about this.

"Because grain households are reluctant to sell rice grains, do rich rice merchants take the opportunity to stock up on grain?" Huang Jilu asked.

Zhang Qun nodded and said, "I've already asked people from major trading houses to wait for tea, let's see what they say." The people should be almost there, let's go. ”

After Zhang Qun finished speaking, he and Huang Jilu walked towards a teahouse, there were already cars outside the teahouse, Zhang Qun looked at it and shook his head, even if the country is in difficulty and the fuel is in short supply, these people will not be less.

"Zhang Qun, vice president of the Executive Yuan and chairman of Sichuan Province, arrived! Huang Jilu, executive secretary of the Ministry of the Interior and chairman of the Sichuan Provincial Party Department, arrived! With a shout, a group of people in the teahouse stood up and bowed to Zhang Qun.

Zhang Qun smiled and said, "It's all here, okay, wow, let's sit down and have a cup of tea together today, let's chat, don't be nervous." As he spoke, he walked to the throne, looked at the crowd and asked, "Tell us about yourself." ”

"Meifeng Bank Raven!" A foreigner was the first to speak.

"Hyecheon Bank Yin Chang!" "Hefeng Rice Line Liu Qian" "Harmony Rice Line Liu Tian"

After the group finished introducing, Zhang Qun clapped his hands and said, "Wow, today can be said to be the end of the group, you probably know what you came here for, so I'll get straight to the point." This year's grain prices have risen too fast, which has seriously caused public opinion and panic among the people, Chongqing Chairman Jiang has continuously sent telegrams to inquire about this matter, and I don't know how to answer, last year's harvest was not good, coupled with the War of Resistance Against Japan, it is normal for grain to rise slightly, this is a natural disaster, it is inevitable, but if someone wants to profit from it and add fuel to the fire, then the government will not ask! ”

"Chairman Zhang, I would like to ask, do you want to interfere with commercial freedom?" Raven asked, standing up.

"Haha, don't be nervous, Mr. Raven!" Zhang Qun pressed his hand and said, "This commercial freedom has always been advocated by the National Government, but the country, the country first, the country and then the family, take the opportunity to hoard grain and refuse to sell this thing... It seems that it is not allowed in the United States, right? I've heard that your country also has an anti-monopoly law. ”

"Chairman Zhang said that we may have taken the opportunity to stock up on grain, right?" Liu Tian smiled and said, "Although we are businessmen, we are also Sichuan people, so we naturally don't want to see Sichuan people starving, but the current market is like this, we just go below to collect grain, and the price has reached seventy or eighty, plus the loss of freight, labor, management, etc., the current price is sold, and it really doesn't make any money!" ”

"That's right, it's hard for us to do it!" "Some time ago, I had a warehouse that caught fire, and most of the grain was burned, and now I don't know what to do!" "You're okay, those mud-legged people below me rebelled and didn't want to pay rent, I can't beat it, I can't scold it, it's miserable!"

Anyway, you say a word, I say a word, in short, I have difficulties, food - what is food? I do not know!

Zhang Qun took a deep breath, in fact, he also knew that it was useless to just say it, he stood up, and said in a low voice, "Everyone, this is a special period of the Anti-Japanese War, if the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War is delayed because of this food price problem, then I am afraid that the head of the people from me to you will not be guaranteed!" ”

This is already a naked threat to take out a knife.

I'm waiting for your words!

Liu Tian was the first to stand up and said, "Chairman Zhang, look what you are talking about!" Such! We and the Minmi Bank are willing to donate 100 stone of grain to the national government free of charge! For the country and the war of resistance, we fight! ”

"Good! Shopkeeper Liu is good! I also donate eighty! ”

"I'll donate a hundred!" "I'll donate seventy!"

The scene is hilarious, as if you just give these people a steel gun and they can go to battle.

Zhang Qun and Huang Jilu glanced at each other and shook their heads helplessly, these people...

Zhang Qun couldn't cry or laugh when he held the strips of more than 2,000 stones from each shopkeeper, he clenched his fists, it seems that it is impossible not to kill people.

The shopkeepers did not stay longer, one by one to say goodbye to Zhang Qun, and in the end, a shopkeeper with white hair and beard swayed up, and Zhang Qun was worried that he would fall down at any time, sure enough, the shopkeeper was about to fall down when he stumbled, Zhang Qun hurriedly went up to support him and said, "The old gentleman is fine." ”

The old shopkeeper smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, old man... Zhang Gong, it's not just businessmen who are moving now, if only businessmen are moving, I'm afraid it won't be useful. So saying, the old shopkeeper stood up and walked away as if he had changed someone.

Looking at the people who were far away, Zhang Qun narrowed his eyes, thought about it, and said, "Go back!" ”

――

"Due to the rapid growth of grain prices in Sichuan, not only the major merchants have stockpiled grain, but also the garrisons and agencies in various places have joined the rush to buy, including the shadows of the Kong and Song families, in addition, we have also found that many generals stationed in other places have also sent people into Sichuan to start buying grain, among them..."

"Enough!" Zhang Qun stopped the middle-aged man next to him from continuing, he rubbed his eyebrows and asked, "Does the chairman know?" ”

"Maybe you know... Maybe I don't know. ”

Zhang Qun sighed and said, "Is there such a person in our provincial government?" ”

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "There are a lot, among them, Yang Quanyu, the mayor of Chengdu, has hoarded more than 1,000 stone of wheat!" ”

1,000 stone of wheat is more than 100,000 yuan, and the temptation is indeed great.

Zhang Qun sighed and said, "Send electricity to the chairman, I can't do this." ”

-- Chongqing

"Yongzhi, come, eat, this dish still tastes good." Jiang intermediary looked at Kong Xiangxi with a smile, this is a family banquet, the two sisters of the Song family whispered, Kong Xiangxi said to Jiang intermediary with a smile while eating, "Chairman, this dish tastes really good, congratulations to the chairman for finding a good cook again." ”

Jiang nodded and said, "I usually eat very simple, but Darling has no taste in his mouth, so that's all, by the way, where is Ling Jun lately?" ”

Kong Xiangxi's eyes were flustered, and he said with a smile, "She is an idle person, so she went to Sichuan to play." ”

Jiang Zhong said meaningfully, "It's okay to play, just don't pass it, this war is raging, it's good to be careful." ”

Song Meiling blamed, "This makes Jun love to play, you don't know, just let her play, don't wait to get married, just like me, it's hard to get out." ”

Jiang intermediary hurriedly said with a smiling face: "Darling is a little bored? So, in a few days, I'll go out for a walk with you. ”

Kong Xiangxi was still in the mood to listen to the love words of Jiang and his wife, and finally finished the meal, and said to the guard next to him, "Go and arrest the second lady back!" Let go of Sichuan's grain first, the chairman is going to kill someone! ”
