vs 67 Take money to buy

In fact, Chen Yu was surprised not that Shi Shi had expanded the team privately, but that he dared to raise so many people under such circumstances. An officer who can achieve such a high position as the chief of staff of the army has naturally been in the army for many years, what kind of situation has not been encountered? But what he saw the most was "eating air force salaries and falsely reporting the number of people." "This kind of thing is even more common in troops outside the Central Army, and it is the easiest and most effective way for commanders at all levels to collect money. Generally speaking, it is the local warlords who forcibly pull in the number of people in order to increase their momentum, and such people often have tens of thousands of troops at every turn, but in fact, the troops that can really fight are only three or five thousand elites. But there are so many people that the amazing momentum of the black pressure alone is enough to discourage people.

As the strategic general reserve of the entire 74th Army, the independent regiment can be regarded as the last trump card under Wang Yaowu, and now the stone has actually expanded the establishment to 6,000 people. Thinking that the military commander's hard work might be in vain, Chen Yu's face also became very ugly.

Shi Shi seemed to feel the overwhelming anger in Chen Yu's heart, and was afraid that he would misunderstand, so he immediately got up and explained: "Senzai, in fact, the establishment of the independent regiment is still 4,000 people, but I have made some adjustments to the functions of each department. ”

Chen Yu let out a light "oh", and his face softened slightly. Seeing his expression, Shi couldn't help but explain: "According to the requirements of the military department, the independent regiment has been expanded to an establishment of 4,000 people, and on the basis of the original, the combat strength of 1,000 people has been increased. However, I made some changes on this basis, following the strategy of the reorganization of the divisions, removing the coolie battalion from the establishment, and the establishment of 4,000 people, except for a supplementary battalion, the other personnel are all combat units, and as for the Minfu battalion, it will be formed into a separate army outside the establishment, and the personnel of this part will also be expanded to 2,000 people, so that the total strength of our troops in Yifeng is 6,000 people. ”

Chen Yu looked at the stone with some incredulity, in fact, the independent regiment has long been reported to the military headquarters for the reform plan and other things, but Chief of Staff Chen's energy is focused on the reorganization of the three main infantry divisions, there is no need to maintain the combat capability of these three main forces, and others are not qualified to manage the independent regiment at all, in this way, it is very little known about their situation in Yifeng, if it were not for the fact that Yifeng has repeatedly reported the tax situation far beyond other counties, Chen Yu may not really think of an independent regiment directly under the military department.

It's not that Chen Yu was negligent, it's just that Shishi's independent regiment is amazing, but it is only a regiment anyway, and no matter which division it is, even after the reorganization eliminates the old and young, there are still as many as three infantry regiments, and it is naturally clear which is more important than the other. In addition, there is another important reason, that is, Wang Yaowu's advice to let him go and do it for the stone, that is, the army commander does not want him to participate too much in some affairs of the independent regiment, so as not to make the people below shrink back. This point is naturally Wang Yaowu's trust gained from his observation of stones in recent years.

Chen Yu finally reacted, and when he looked at the stone again, he couldn't help but be full of surprise, this small regiment commander who didn't look amazing actually had such ability, an independent regiment of four thousand combat troops, one regiment could at least be worth two ordinary regiments, basically similar to the previous infantry brigade, he had only been a soldier for a few days, and he still had such ability? Thinking that the 74th Army suddenly had such a powerful force, Chen Yu couldn't help but smile and even praised it, with the very ideal reorganization of the three infantry divisions, plus the independent regiment commanded by Shi, the combat effectiveness of the whole army has been greatly improved in the past year and a half, which is really promising! No wonder the military seat wants to let him do it, this stone is really a talent, if every regiment commander is as capable as him, do you still need him to be so annoying?

After being happy, Chen Yu couldn't help but think of a headache, this time they came, but they came to discuss the secondment of rice and grain to the 51st Division, although the strong strength of the independent regiment is indeed a good news, but the current situation of the 51st Division is really not good, when there is no war, the soldiers can only eat two meals a day, if there is a war, there is a lack of food, how can the soldiers still fight? The emperor is not a hungry soldier, he is desperate with the devil on an empty stomach, there is no such reason! But the stone led the independent regiment so well, and the supply of the independent regiment was usually distributed according to 4,000 people, that is to say, the 2,000 people were supported by the stone himself, so calculated, there is indeed no surplus of rice and grain, and their performance in Yifeng is really not much stronger than that of the upper and lower places, but it makes Chen Yu suddenly not know what to say.

Can he still accuse the stone of indiscriminately enhancing the combat capability of the army? This is obviously not possible, and the purpose of reorganization and reorganization is not to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops!

The stone seemed to see the embarrassment of the chief of staff, and after he pondered for a while, he couldn't help but say: "Senza, our regiment also came out of the 51st Division, so naturally we can't watch our robe brothers go hungry, and in terms of food, it's not that there is nothing to ......."

When Chen Yu heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and said, "Stone, do you have a way to get food?" ”

The stone thought for a while, and then nodded slowly, although it seemed a little hesitant, but it made Chen Yu like a person who fell into the water grabbed a life-saving straw, and couldn't help but ask anxiously: "Stone, if you really have a way to get food, it is a great achievement, it has helped me and the military seat a lot, and now the only problem that restricts us is the lack of grain and grass reserves, if we can really solve this problem, coupled with the strong combat effectiveness of our 74th Army, as long as the devils dare to come, they will definitely be able to beat them and flee." ”

Shi looked at Chen Yu's slightly excited face and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Counselor, I just came up with a solution, as for whether this method works, I have to try it to know." ”

Chen Yu said categorically: "What method, as long as it can be implemented, I must make it a reality." ”

Shi was taken aback by the tone of the chief of staff, and couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart, but he thought about it for a while, and naturally it was too much to do this. Seeing that he was silent, Chen Yu on the side was anxious, Wu Zihuai thought that the stone was a little unable to react to the face of the chief of staff, so he couldn't help but interject and said: "That, Tuanza, you don't want to buy grain from the people, right?" ”

"Acquisition?" Chen Yu's face couldn't help but change when he heard this, he groaned for a while, couldn't help but sigh and shook his head and said, "Your idea is good, but there is no basis for implementation!" In normal times, it is naturally normal to buy some grain from the common people and landlords, and as long as the price is reasonable, the common people and landlords are willing to sell it. But not now, let alone ordinary people, that is, the landlord has no surplus grain at home, where to buy it? ”

Shi Ying said: "Zanza, Yifeng's harvest in the past two years is okay, and some can be purchased to some extent, but the price is definitely higher than usual." This matter, after I go back, I will let send someone to do it, I want to gather the strength of the whole county, more than 1,000 stone grain should be able to be received, but in terms of money, I still need to think of a way. ”

Chen Yu's original plan was to call from the independent group, where did he think of the matter of buying and selling? In fact, they have some money, but prices are soaring, and with the money in their hands, how much can they buy? Before this, he hadn't thought of this method, but as he said before, the landlords and rich households didn't have much surplus grain in their hands, so they couldn't buy it at all, or they simply offered a sky-high price, and they could afford it?

And the stones they actually said that they could buy more than 1,000 stones of grain, which naturally surprised Chen Yu. Who is he? The person who can sit in his position, which one is not a human spirit, squinted at the stone and Wu Zihuai, saw their calm looks, and couldn't help but have a spectrum in his heart, after doing it for a long time, he was almost played by two late-born juniors, what to buy food from the people, to put it bluntly, the stone just didn't want to take out the food for nothing, and the food was in their hands!

While watching and thinking, Chen Yu couldn't help but admire the young regiment leader of Qishi, and at the same time regretted a little, why didn't he pay attention to this subordinate independent regiment earlier? Silently raising a 6,000-strong army in Yifeng, not to mention, there is still food in stock? The affairs of the army are easy to handle, and the key thing this year is food! I heard that they still have a lot of farms, and it seems that this stone has a lot of goods in his hands. Thinking of this, he also made up his mind, he was not afraid of others talking about conditions, he was only afraid that there was no way to get food, and once the troops on the front line were hungry, the consequences would be really terrible. Thinking that he still had to ask for something from his subordinate officials one day, Chen Yu's heart couldn't help but have mixed feelings, but the food was in the hands of others, and there was nothing to do at all.

"Stone, you also know the situation of the military department, most of the rest of the money is a reward issued by the peak, and the amount is not much, I don't know what price you plan to use to collect it?" After Chen Yu calmed down, he asked lightly.

Shi thought for a while and said: "If you want to collect grain from the hands of the common people, it must be higher than the market price, and the current money is no longer very valuable, according to the market price, the price of rice is one hundred and seventy or eighty yuan a stone, and it is very likely that we can only receive one stone until one hundred and ninety or even two hundred yuan [Note]." ”

Although Chen Yu knew that the figure quoted by the stone did not have any water, but when he thought that the thousand stone grain would cost nearly 200,000 yuan, he couldn't help but twitch the muscles on his face, this figure was really terrifying!

[Note: I checked the price, in the thirtieth year of the Republic of China (1941), a hundred yuan could almost buy a bag of flour, and the price here is also estimated!] If there are any inaccuracies, please forgive me! 】
