Seeing off the excited Zhu Wenhua, Wu Ming closed the door, returned to the chair and sat down, Li Kun, the third master of Mao Liangwu, who had been hiding in the lounge and eavesdropping, opened the side door and sat down opposite Wu Ming with a smile: "The Zhu family kid has done a good job, and he can be in charge of himself after a few years of training." ”

Wu Ming glanced at Li Kun: "Don't think about it, he is in the light, what I value more is the dark line quietly laid by the third brother, this little family business of our brothers is not easy to come by!" I came to you today because I am a little uneasy about Mao Liangwu, the 500 militia brothers on the surface are nothing, and it is a fatal thing to start producing weapons and ammunition in the second half of next year, and from now on, we must come up with a set of regulations that strictly abide by confidentiality, and there must be no negligence. ”

"Don't worry, my brother knows the priority of the matter, the ordnance factory is built in a deep valley more than three miles northeast of the village, and the three workshops are all located in the cave you asked to blow up, the concealed camouflage outside and the cement floor inside are done, and the general people in the village don't know that there is such a thing as the road, and they think it is a road, at least in three or two years, there is no need to worry about being discovered by outsiders, and it is difficult to say how long it is." Li Kun put away his smile, and he was never ambiguous when talking about business.

"How's the hydropower plant doing?" Wu Ming asked.

Li Kun's face was full of triumph: "It's normal, most of the people in the village have electric lights, and the school can also hold classes at night, the five gentlemen are happy!" The mine has benefited the most, and I am afraid that it will make more money when the two cement kilns are built. The two foreign technicians who are responsible for the training are also good, since they went to Hangzhou to get back two Belarusian horses night and night, the two of them worked harder, the Belgians sent the wearing parts and accessories of the power station machine have been stockpiled, the eldest brother and a few juniors have learned very quickly, it is estimated that the foreign technicians will be able to send the foreign technicians away after the Spring Festival. ”

Wu Ming nodded: "Has the arsenal next to the power station been built?" ”

"It's fast, a dozen demomen in the mine are working in the original cave, and the speed is very fast...... In the past two years, we have accumulated more than 4,000 new and old rifles, more than 500 short guns, 250 submachine guns, 48 light and heavy machine guns, more than 360 boxes of ammunition, as well as sapper shovels, knives, and more than a dozen boxes of steel helmets...... The military inventory is now in charge of the old eight, don't worry! The expression on Li Kun's face seemed indifferent, but he was actually quite proud in his heart.

Wu Ming felt that it was time, so he said what he had been thinking about for a long time:

"You go back and tell the eldest brother and a few of them, it's best to sell all the long and short guns made in Hanyang and used for more than a year, don't be reluctant, the bullets can also be sold half, and the brothers in the militia can all replace them with 38 big covers, so that the ammunition replenishment will save a lot of trouble, and the shell guns will pick out the good ones and continue to use them, and the ones that are too worn out will be brought here to let the old clock be renovated, and they can be sold at a good price if they are repaired."

Li Kun was in a dilemma: "I have also combined this matter with my eldest brother, in the past six months or so, we have sold thousands of guns to Kaihua and even the local Haoqiang in Jiangxi, if we replace all the other spears, plus at least 1,500 in the warehouse, I am afraid that we will not be able to find a big buyer for a while!" ”

"I'll do this business, you notify the family to do it as soon as possible, tell me the exact number after the redress, and then pack it and wait for me to notify you." Wu Ming commanded.

Li Kun looked at Wu Ming suspiciously: "You never interfere in this matter, where do you go to find a big buyer?" ”

Wu Ming pointed to the west: "Jiangxi." ”

"Jiangxi? Is there such a big buyer? Li Kun was confused.

Wu Ming laughed in a low voice: "Anyway, I have to trouble you to trade when the time comes, and it doesn't hurt to tell you in advance, but you can't say it, the buyer is Fang Da Boss in Huaiyu Mountain." ”

Li Kun was taken aback: "Are you crazy? ”

Wu Ming pouted: "!" As long as you can make money, who is it different to sell to? Haven't you done the same for the past two years? Worried that he'll buy a gun and come back to hit me, right? Don't worry, even if he has this thought, he has to weigh it carefully...... There is Chen Zhaoxian's second battalion stationed in Kaihua, although there are only 500 brothers, but the reinforced concrete fortifications located in the dangerous sections of the traffic arteries can make the other party crazy, and the machine gun fire of one of my companies is almost equal to that of one battalion of ordinary troops, and the dominant terrain has strict reconnaissance and defense means, unless the opponent suddenly pours out more than 5,000 officers and soldiers, and there must be artillery, what am I afraid of? ”

"Ah...... This ...... You...... Aren't you afraid to lose your head? "Li Kun is out of line.

Wu Mingha smiled: "Third brother, why are you living more and more?" Back then, when you were the king of the mountain and did all kinds of evil, why weren't you afraid of losing your head? Now that I've just lived a few days of comfortable life, I have a few dollars in my pocket, but I'm afraid of losing my head? ”

Li Kun was speechless, and after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but sigh secretly: "It's really right for you, alas! Whatever you want, by the way, after the transfer of the property in Quzhou City, a total of more than 320,000 yuan will be recovered, all of which are here with me, you can see if you have paid off the money borrowed from the bank, and you will be debt-free and light. ”

"You're confused!"

Wu Ming glared at Li Kun with hatred, knocked on the table, and said loudly: "From the day of the loan, Lao Tzu never thought about repaying it at all, not only did he not pay it back, but he also wanted to rob him, and the governor of that dog day dared to ask me for a bribe of 50,000 oceans, and sooner or later he had to spit it out for me!" ”

"I'm not afraid to say to you, third brother, the bank can receive interest on our loan every year, even if he burns high incense, in no more than five years, the war will burn all over half of China, and whether Quzhou can hold on to it is another matter, his life is gone, who remembers that we owe the bank 600,000?"

"Take 10,000 steps back, even if he remembers that the mine we mortgaged is not there? Have the ability to let him take it, haluha! ”

Li Kun's little eyes were about to fall out, he took a sharp breath of cold air, and panted for a long time: "Oh no, Lao Tzu is convinced of you, fortunately, you are my brother, otherwise in the end, Lao Tzu will have to hang himself." ”

Wu Ming couldn't help but smile and said: "Third brother, you are not a good person, don't pretend to be aggrieved and pitiful to lie to me, don't I understand you yet, halu ha!" A few days ago, I sent a letter to the Belgian foreign firm in Shanghai, ordered a batch of machine tools and steel for the production of gun barrels, and the small chemical plant equipment ordered last time is also about to arrive, and you use your brains to exchange it for silver and save it after paying the rest, and I will find a way to get you more money for silver, and the price of silver is going to rise, and this opportunity cannot be missed. ”

Li Kun didn't know these things clearly, and he didn't want to bother with more brains, he knew that it would never be wrong to listen to Wu Ming's arrangement, so he nodded and no longer dwelled on this matter, but asked about a major matter that the Quzhou business community urgently needed to understand: "I heard that Commissioner Lu is going to order an increase in taxes and raise the tax rate, and the seven taxes that the original commander ordered to be exempted will be reintroduced, and the tax officer will be sent to every border checkpoint to collect taxes, is there such a thing?" ”

Wu Ming nodded: "Yes, and it's going to be soon, but it doesn't have much impact on us, I don't care how he collects taxes, but he doesn't want to send people to the border checkpoints of Kaihua, Changshan, and Jiangshan counties to collect taxes...... From now on, the taxes in the border areas of these three counties will no longer be under his control, but the people and merchants of Quzhou will suffer, and the whole of western Zhejiang will probably be chaotic in the future, and the good days of the landlords, rich gentry and merchants in the counties will not be left for a few days. ”

Next, Wu Ming told Li Kun in detail about the upper-level infighting and the major measures of the Provincial Security Department, and said with certainty: "Under such circumstances, the Provincial Security Department will never give up the taxing power of the three counties of Kaihua, Changshan and Jiangshan, even if it takes a step back, it will also take the taxing power of the five major border checkpoints in its own hands, otherwise what will happen to the military salaries of our two regiments?" There is not much truth to talk about these days, the comparison is who has a hard waist and a big fist! ”

Li Kun was overjoyed: "So we are blessed by misfortune?" ”

Wu Ming nodded: "That's for sure, didn't you see that the four checkpoints of Changshan and Kaihua were handed over to me?" It's just that I don't know how long the Dao can be kept, this world has become too fast, even I can't keep up, fortunately, I have two thousand brothers in my hands, as well as you big brothers and Mao Liangwu's four thousand folks, otherwise I'm afraid I can only accept it! ”
