After Old Man Chen sat down, a middle-aged man in his forties wearing a long shirt and a melon skin hat got up and said: "Report to the young master, I am the head of the grain warehouse, my name is Qin Xuecheng, and I turned out to be the chief shopkeeper of the Taiyuan branch of the Chen Family Grain Bank. There are a total of 48 grain depots on the mountain, with 16 million catties of wheat, 3 million catties of rice, 6 million catties of millet, millet and other miscellaneous grains, and more than 20,000 catties of oil. At present, the troops and the workers on the mountains consume more than 34,000 catties of grain every day, that is to say, the grain stored in the mountains is only enough for the troops to have a year's rations, and this is only the data before the troops were not expanded. ”

The Chen family's business is all over the northern provinces, and there are many people who eat with the Chen family, and now the Chen family's business has basically stopped, leaving only some more important and hidden shops as strongholds, and the others are either sold or mortgaged. So many people have nowhere to go, and most of these people are old people who have followed Chen Binggong for more than ten years, so Chen Binggong is embarrassed to ignore them.

Besides, Chen Feng has just erected a pole here, and there is a shortage of people and all kinds of talents, so under the order of Old Man Chen, the clerks and shopkeepers of Chen Ji Grain Store and Fur Store all gathered in Xinghe, and many important positions on the mountain are controlled by these big and small shopkeepers.

"The grain is okay, it's already September, and the new grain will come down in about a month. This year, we have good weather here, the harvest of crops is very good, and there will definitely be a large amount of grain in storage after the autumn harvest. ”

"No problem, young master."

After Qin Xuecheng sat down, a middle-aged man who was also dressed under him got up and said, "Young master, I am Tian Ming, who is in charge of the medicine warehouse, and I turned out to be the big shopkeeper of the Guisui branch. There are three drug warehouses on the mountain, and more than 40 truckloads of medicines have been hoarded, but now nearly 10% of them have been consumed, and the consumption of straps and anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving drugs is relatively large. ”

"Well, drugs are a big problem, we can't produce drugs ourselves, and now the little devils have included drugs in strategic materials, and they are very dead for bulk drug trading cards. At present, we use a little less medicine, and we must find a way to replenish it, otherwise it is very likely that there will be no medicine to treat the wounded in the future. Chen Feng said with a frown.

"Young master, I think we can think of a way from the aspect of Chinese medicine, although Chinese medicine is slow to work, but there are no side effects, such as some more common diseases can be cured without Western medicine, if there is a large amount of Chinese medicine as a supplement, you can save a lot of Western medicine." Tian Ming suggested.

"This is a good idea, although Chinese medicine is not suitable for use on the battlefield, but it is still good as a supplement to Western medicine in terms of people's livelihood, and personally, I still prefer Chinese medicine. After I went back, I recruited Chinese medicine practitioners and purchased Chinese medicines. Chen Feng said with a smile.

In charge of the munitions warehouse was a company commander of the former Second Security Regiment, named Sui Jinguang. Since the munitions depot is one of the core targets of the base, the 2nd Security Regiment specially dispatched an infantry company to garrison the munitions depot, and also built a large number of pillboxes and firing points around the munitions depot.

"According to the division, the ammunition warehouse has 14,421 Mauser rifles, 112 Mauser pistols, 1,000 Chinese formal rifles, 300 Hanyang-made rifles, 130 38 large covers, 2 Type 92 heavy machine guns, 4 crooked handles, 344 Czech light machine guns, 82 Makqin heavy machine guns, 322 80 mortars, 64 infantry guns, 150,000 German-style long-handled grenades, 80,000 Japanese-style melon grenades, 26 million rounds of various bullets, and more than 20,000 shells." Sui Jinguang reported.

"Well, there are a lot of things in stock, but the models are a little miscellaneous, I remember that I don't seem to have bought Japanese munitions, how can there be 38 big covers and crooked handles and 92 heavy machine guns?" Chen Feng asked suspiciously.

"Those Japanese-style munitions were transported into the warehouse along with the cart transporting the munitions, and I heard Chief Xu Bao say that it seemed to be captured equipment, and because the caliber of the guns and ammunition equipped by our army was different, it was thrown into the warehouse."

After Sui Jinguang's reminder, Chen Feng suddenly remembered. The second time I was targeting the little devil when I traded with Delixi, and I had a fight with the little devil on the way, and wiped out a squadron of more than 100 people from the little devil, and seized some weapons and equipment, but I didn't expect these equipment to be thrown into the warehouse.

"Hehehe, I remember, although the weapons and equipment of the little devils are not as good as those of the Germans, it is a pity to throw them into the warehouse. This time, we went south to fight, and we also captured a lot of weapons and equipment of little devils, so it should be no problem to get an all-day weapons regiment. Besides, this time the expansion of the troops, just this bit of family money can't sustain consumption, I estimate that in another half a month, your arsenal will be able to starve to death of rats. Chen Feng said with a smile.

"Hehe, Shizao, even now the mice can't eat enough, and those iron lump mice can't gnaw on them, but we look at the hearts bright, so many weapons and equipment, it's comfortable to look at." Sui Jinguang also said with a smile.

An old man of the Chen family in charge of the treasury is called Chen Si, Chen Tiebao's father, and he is fifty-one years old this year. In this era, few people can live to be seventy years old, fifty-one years old is already half of his body into the ground, and this Chen Si is the same, his face has many wrinkles and deep, just like the old bark.

"Young Master, we still have 8,350,000 oceans on our books, plus more than 1,300 taels of gold and 50,000 taels of silver. However, at present, the military salary of the army is more than 50,000 yuan per month, and this is still about 13 to 150,000 yuan before the expansion. In addition, the monthly wages of workers in each factory and the purchase of raw materials also require 150,000 oceans, counting other expenses, the expenses of the old Chen family in a month are about 250,000 oceans, and the expansion of the army may reach 350,000. On top of that, we basically have no income right now, and this money is only going in and out. When I first took over the vault, there were nearly seven million oceans in the treasury, and then the master borrowed seven million from banks in various countries, and now there is only so much left, and the young master has made six million oceans in a few months, you have to save some flowers! Chen Si told everyone about the money cabinet at home.

"Hey, fourth uncle, I can't help it, it's not that the little devil is making trouble. If there is no such little devil, I am still the eldest young master of my Chen family, sitting on tens of millions of assets, fighting cocks every day, yo-yo dogs, and teasing the little girl by the way, that day is called comfortable. Isn't this a little devil coming, can we have a good life when those dog days come, killing people, setting fire to and robbing things, from time to time to slaughter villages and destroy households, our family's great cause can't afford to hurt, so we have to resist, even if we spend more money, we will resist the Japanese, because the anti-Japanese bankruptcy is dead, we are heroes. "Chen Feng grew up with Chen Tiebao, and Chen Si played with Chen Binggong from childhood to adulthood, and he has been in the Chen family for so many years, so Chen Feng has always treated Chen Si as a family member, and he is called by the fourth uncle and the fourth uncle when he opens and closes.

"Fighting cocks and yo-yo dogs, flirting with little girls, you are a little bastard, when do you plan to marry Qingya and Tana?" Old Man Chen remembered what Chen Feng had done before, and he couldn't get angry.

"Dad, aren't we in a meeting, can we go home and talk about something?" Chen Feng said with a bitter face.

"Fart, you kid went out to fight for three days and five days, do you know how worried I and your mother are, I'm afraid that you have three long and two short, our old Chen family is just one of you, even if you want to die, you have to leave a seed for our old Chen family, no, you hurry up and get married, I'll talk to your uncle, at the end of the year." Old Man Chen didn't give Chen Feng any face, and forced Chen Feng to get married as soon as possible.

"Yes, young master, what the master said makes sense, now that the young master has pulled up such a large army, and there is such a large base, this is all your industry, if you don't have an heir, this person's heart is unstable, you better get married as soon as possible." Chen Si also helped the old man persuade Chen Feng.

Chen Feng also knew that now he was talking about a son inheriting his father's business, and it would really not work if there was no one in the family. But now that the war has just started, and most of China is at war, how can he be in the mood to do that.

"Dad, fourth uncle, I must be successful in this marriage, but not now, do you think that marriage is so easy, to tell you the truth, two days ago, Commander Fu Zuoyi Fu stationed in Yanmen Pass sent a telegram, and he will protect the media, and Chief Yan will approve that Chief Yan's goddaughter and niece Yan Changxi will be married to your son and I will be my wife." Chen Feng said.

"True son? This is a good thing, Chief Yan is the emperor of the two provinces of Jin and Sui, and if you become his son-in-law, won't your kid become a concubine, our old Chen family is smoking from the ancestors this time. Old Man Chen said happily.

"Dad, my ancestors are smoking, but your son is now emitting black smoke. Is the daughter of Yan Dashuai's family easy to marry, just like you always said, people are princesses, so how many people have to star, take Yan Changxi, we will have more enemies in the Jin Sui army. In addition, does the princess still want to be peaceful when she marries into the family, how do you explain to my uncle, what do you make Tana think, so my son I am now a head and two big. ”

"What's the big deal, since it's so troublesome, then you just have to push it, just say that you already have a wife and two concubines, can you still force Yan Dashuai to divorce your wife and concubine?" Old Man Chen said.

"I said it, but people said they didn't mind, it doesn't matter how many wives and concubines there are, it's just that Yan Changxi must be the boss after passing the door, who is the person, Chief Yan Yan Dashuai, what are your sons and I, just the head of the security regiment, not even the establishment of the regular army, can the little arms be twisted over the thighs?" Chen Feng said depressedly.

"What then? Do you really want to invite that great bodhisattva into the door? "Old Man Chen is also in a hurry this time.

"What can I do, so it's better to wait for this family matter."

"What a fart, as long as she Yan Changxi and Princess Yan don't restrict you from sleeping with Tana and the Wang family's girl, by the way, there is also that foreign girl to sleep, it's a big deal that we all treat her as a bodhisattva, you have to do it for Lao Tzu as soon as possible, otherwise you don't want to move any of the family's money." After speaking, the old man walked out of the conference room with his robe, leaving behind a large group of uncomfortable officers and factory directors in the conference room, as well as Chen Feng with a helpless face.
