In the blink of an eye, a week has passed.

The time came on July 10, 1941.

On the Soviet-German battlefield, the German army advanced an average of more than 500 kilometers into the territory of the Soviet Union in just 18 days, and more than 5 million Soviet Red Army troops were encircled and annihilated.

In view of this, the head of state repeatedly called the Japanese government,

Japan was asked to declare war on the USSR and send troops to the Far East.

However, the Japanese government has always turned a deaf ear to this.

……

During this time, the situation in the northwest of Shanxi was relatively calm.

The Japanese puppet army, the Eighth Route Army, the Jin Sui Army, and the Central Army seem to have reached some tacit understanding, and none of them provoked conflicts during this time.

Beneath the calm surface, however, lies an undercurrent.

Early in the morning, Li Yunlong took Wang Ye to the cigarette factory.

"Regiment Commander, Staff Officer Wang." Seeing Li Yunlong and Wang Ye, Qiu Hui hurriedly caught up.

There are almost no people who understand the economy in the Fuliangshan base area, so Qiu Hui, who used to work as a female worker in the Shanghai textile factory, drove ducks to the shelves and was arrested by Li Yunlong to be the director of the cigarette factory.

Not to mention, Qiu Hui did a good job after taking office.

The daily output of the cigarette factory has increased from 5,000 to 10,000.

"Xiao Qiu, I want to ask you something." Li Yunlong said, "Has the wholesale price of our Fuliang brand cigarettes increased?" ”

"Price increase?" Qiu Hui was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then shook her head and said, "No, the wholesale price of our Fuliang brand cigarettes has always been three or six percent, and the price has never increased." ”

"No price increase?" Li Yunlong frowned and said, "That's weird." ”

Qiu Hui asked Wang Yedao: "Counselor Wang, is there something wrong?" ”

Wang Ye said: "Sister Hui is like this, the floating brand cigarettes on the market have risen to one cent per pack. ”

From the very beginning, it was stipulated that only silver dollars and border tickets could be circulated, but the popularity of border tickets in the northwest of Shanxi Province was low, and the common people still habitually liked to use silver dollars and copper coins, so now the main currency of the Fuliang Mountain base area is silver dollars and copper coins.

"What?" Qiu Hui was so angry when she heard this.

"These profiteers are too hateful, our ex-factory price is only three or six cents, and they dare to sell a dime? Isn't this the exploitation of the people? The regimental commander must severely punish these opportunistic profiteers. ”

Li Yunlong nodded and said, "Xiao Qiu, don't worry, we will be severely punished when we find out." ”

Wang Ye asked: "Sister Hui, has the purchase price of tobacco leaves and wrapping paper increased?" ”

"Hey, Counselor Wang, I forgot if you didn't say it." Qiu Hui immediately complained, "Tobacco is nothing, the tobacco we purchased before only consumed a little bit, but the price of packaging paper has risen several times, and now a box of cigarettes alone will account for a penny of the cost of wrapping paper, and our tobacco factory is about to lose money." ”

"And this?" Li Yunlong said, "Can you still lose money by running a cigarette factory? ”

"Not really." Qiu Hui said, "Commander, the wholesale price you set at the beginning was low, and now the price of cigarette box paper has been rising, will we lose money?" Otherwise, we will also increase the price. ”

"That's not going to work." Li Yunlong said categorically, "Then won't we become capitalists?" ”

In Li Yunlong's worldview, capitalists, like landlords and old wealth, are the sworn enemies of the poor people, and they both want to be knocked to the ground and step on 10,000 feet, so they would rather die than become like them.

It is precisely because of this that Li Yunlong priced Fuliang brand cigarettes so low.

In Li Yunlong's words, it is better not to make money than to make cigarettes so that the people in the base areas can afford to smoke cigarettes.

Li Yunlong's world outlook cannot be said to be wrong or bad, and can only be described in two words, that is, simplicity, a kind of simple proletarian thinking.

Such a worldview certainly needs to be transformed.

However, if you want to transform the worldview of people like Li Yunlong, you need an opportunity.

Wang Ye faintly felt that this opportunity was about to appear, and now he was about to kick the door.

"Lao Li, there is a situation." Zhao Gang hurriedly walked into the cigarette factory and said urgently, "The anti-Japanese democratic governments of Dagu Town, Qingyun Town, and Lijia Town have all reported to me that those idle and lazy bad elements in various towns, townships, and villages have suddenly become very active and frequently come and go between our base areas and the enemy-occupied areas. ”

Wang Ye's heart moved when he heard this, and he vaguely seemed to grasp the key to the problem.

"Lazy bad guys?" Li Yunlong said, "Isn't it just to catch it?" ”

"How's that going to work?" Zhao Gang rolled his eyes, and said angrily, "How can you arrest people indiscriminately." ”

Li Yunlong said: "Didn't you say that they frequently go in and out of the base area and the enemy-occupied area? I didn't do anything good, wouldn't I know if I was arrested for the first trial? ”

"Your words are even more outrageous."

Zhao Gang's face fell: "Then in the fringe areas of our base areas and enemy-occupied areas, many villagers have good citizen certificates issued by devils, and they often go in and out of enemy-occupied areas and even county seats, should we also arrest them?" ”

"So what do you say?" Li Yunlong said angrily, "If you can't catch it, you can't try it, so how can you figure out what these bad elements are doing?" ”

While the two were talking, Uncle Li hurriedly walked over.

"Regimental commander, political commissar." Uncle Li said angrily, "I have something to report to you. ”

"Uncle Li, what makes you angry like this?" Wang Ye hurriedly stepped forward to give Uncle Li a good breath.

"What a madman." Uncle Li said angrily, "He crazy, this white-eyed wolf actually wants to buy me." ”

"What a madman?" Wang Ye couldn't help but glance at Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang, which was a bit interesting.

The dragon gives birth to nine sons, all of them are different, and people are also different, there are honest people who are diligent and hard-working, and there will be idlers who are idle, stealing chickens and dogs.

He is such an idler.

And in Zhaojiayu, there is more than one such idler.

It's just that I didn't expect that the enemy's tentacles had actually reached Zhaojiayu.

At that moment, Wang Ye asked: "Uncle Li, you speak slowly, how did He Madman buy you?" ”

"This dog day made me find an excuse to sneak into the fortress of Fuliang Mountain, and then sketch the tunnel." Uncle Li said, "He also said that if you give him the sketch, he will give me a hundred oceans!" ”

"This shit!" Li Yunlong said angrily.

"I knew he wasn't a good thing, but he wasn't a good thing."

Speaking of this, he turned his head and ordered Ge Erdan: "Erdan, you go and arrest He Madman!" ”

Zhao Gang didn't stop it this time, with Uncle Li as proof, the arrest of He Crazy is conclusive evidence, and there is no problem in terms of procedure and legal theory, which is logical.

"Yes!" Ge Erdan went violently.

In just ten minutes, a thief-eyed idler was slipped to the cigarette factory by Ge Erdan.

"What a madman!" Li Yunlong shouted, "Who is the main envoy behind you?" Isn't it a devil? ”

"What master?" He Madzi's face changed slightly, and he immediately denied it, "What are you talking about?" ”

"Dare to deny it?" Uncle Li said angrily, "You just told me that you wanted to give me a hundred oceans." ”

"I'll give you a hundred oceans?" He Lunzi said, "Old man Li, do you want to eat fart?" I got a head kicked in the head by a donkey and gave you a hundred oceans, besides, do I have a hundred oceans? ”

"Foolish, huh?" Li Yunlong said angrily, "Erdan, beat him for me!" ”

"Yes!" Ge Erdan immediately raised his big fist, and he was about to fight.

As a result, He Luozi directly sat on the ground, and immediately cried and cried: "The Eighth Route Army has beaten people, the Eighth Route Army has beaten people......"

Ge Erdan was immediately stunned.

Did I fucking practice the Phaseless Divine Skill?

Before the fist reached the body, the person was knocked down?

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang also looked at each other, and there was no way to meet such a scoundrel.

The problem is that there are really passing villagers who come around to see the excitement, but all Chinese, no matter what region, like to watch the excitement is almost engraved in the genes.

At this time, Li Yunlong is also a little difficult to ride a tiger.

But such a trivial matter can't help Wang Ye.

At that moment, Wang Ye split his chest and grabbed He Lunzi and said, "You just said that you don't have a hundred oceans at home?" ”

"Nonsense, who doesn't know that our old He family is so poor that it jingles." He Luzi snorted coldly and said, "Don't say a hundred oceans, but if you can find a piece of oceans, even if I lose." ”

"Okay, that's what you said." Wang Ye smiled and nodded.

Seeing Wang Ye's smile, He Luozi didn't know why he was a little weak-hearted.

Wang Ye immediately said to Ge Erdan: "Erdan, you go and search He Madman's house." ”

"Yes!" Ge Erdan rushed away impromptuly, but after less than half an hour, he returned to the tobacco factory empty-handed.

"Didn't find it, did it?" He Lunzi suddenly became energetic, jumped to his feet and said, "What do you say now?" I'll just ask you, what do you say now? Huh? What to say now? ”

Wang Ye smiled: "It seems that we made a mistake, and I apologize to you." ”

He Madzi said: "Apologize and it's over?" The Eighth Route Army can just wronged people, right? ”

"Damn, what do you want?" Li Yunlong was so angry that he directly took out the shell gun, "Do you want us to pay you money?" ”

He Madman was so frightened that he fled, but he shouted again: "This matter is not over, I will report to your superiors, I He Madman is not a soft persimmon that anyone can pinch, I will seek justice!" ”

Li Yunlong and Uncle Li were half angry, but Wang Ye smiled and said nothing.

"Damn, what kind of evil is it today?" Li Yunlong said with a dark face, "I have encountered this kind of bullshit." ”

"What evil? Don't believe in evil! Wang Ye smiled slightly, and said, "The head of the regiment and the political commissar, please be calm." ”

Immediately, he looked around and said: "Please don't be in a hurry to leave, stay and be a witness, lest someone say that our Eighth Route Army has wronged He Crazy." ”

The dozens of folks who watched the excitement were not embarrassed to leave.

After another half an hour or so, He Luzi returned.

But it wasn't walked back, it was picked up and sneaked back.

Lu Changsheng grabbed He Luzi's collar and grabbed him back like a little chicken.

Behind Lu Changsheng, Li Xia was still carrying a heavy small cloth bag in his hand, and when he got closer, Li Xia threw the cloth bag on the ground again, and there was a loud crashing sound in an instant.

The dozens of villagers who were watching suddenly changed their faces, pretending to be the ocean?

Wang Ye walked over and carried the small cloth bag upside down, and the silver dollars in it were poured out with a bang, and there was an exclamation around him, but He Madzi's head drooped down.

Wang Ye asked Li Xia, "Li Xia, where did you find it?" ”

Li Xia said: "It was dug up in the backyard of He Madzi's house. ”

After a pause, he said, "A total of two hundred and eight oceans." ”

Li Yunlong was dumbfounded and said, "Xiao Wang, what's going on?" ”

"Captain, this is actually very simple." Wang Ye said suddenly, "I asked Erdan to search just now, although I didn't find it in the end, but He Madzi will definitely feel unsteady." ”

"So when I go back, I will definitely go to the place where I hide the money as soon as I go."

"You can rest assured that the money he has hidden is still there, everyone is like this, and no one is exempt."

"Then let Li Xia follow, directly find his hiding place, and give him a dirty person."

"It's that simple?" Li Yunlong laughed.

Wang Ye couldn't help but roll his eyes, simple?

This can involve the use of psychology.

It also needs to be supplemented by Li Xia's superb tracking skills, all of which are indispensable.

At that moment, Wang Ye ordered again: "Take him back to the regiment headquarters and take care of him." ”

……

That night, He Madman was all gone.

Wang Ye said: "He Luozi's upline is Ma Laosi from Dagu Town, when I asked Lao Shen to arrest people, Ma Laosi had already run away in advance, and it was no accident that he hid in Ping'an County." ”

"Fuck." Li Yunlong said, "Run fast." ”

Zhao Gang said: "So, the clue is broken again? ”

Wang Ye said: "It doesn't matter if the clues are constantly broken. ”

Zhao Gang was moved when he heard this: "Xiao Wang, what do you mean by this?" ”

Wang Ye said: "Although He Luozi's upline is broken, he also confessed eighteen downlines. ”

"What?" Zhao Gang was dumbfounded and said, "Eighteen downlines? He has developed so many downlines? Doesn't that mean that Zhaojiayu Village has been infiltrated into a sieve by him? ”

Xing Zhiguo said: "Who are they?" ”

"It's all the same people who usually fool around with He Crazy."

Wang Ye said: "He Luozi gave them a little favor and bought them off. ”

"Fuck." Li Yunlong said, "We have to find out what information the devil has taken from their mouths." ”

"He has confessed everything." Wang Ye said directly, "Authentic, what the devil wants is information about the tunnel, not only Zhaojiayu's, but also other towns, townships, villages, and even Fuliang Mountain Fortress, the more tunnel information provided, the more important it is, the more bonuses you will get." ”

"In less than ten days, nearly 100,000 oceans of bonuses have flowed into our base area."

"The inflow of 100,000 oceans has directly disrupted the economic order of our Fuliangshan base area, resulting in a considerable amount of inflation, so the retail price of cigarettes will skyrocket to a dime."

"But in the long run, it's good for our base."

"Because appropriate inflation is conducive to boosting consumption and developing the economy."

"Economic order? Inflation? Li Yunlong and Xing Zhiguo looked at each other.

Zhao Gang was barely able to understand a little, but he didn't understand it very well, after all, he had not studied economics.

Wang Ye quickly reacted, and said: "Anyway, we can't hide the fact that we have built the underground Great Wall in the Fuliang Mountain base, and the devil already knows about it." ”

"I'm to blame for that." Zhao Gang said with some self-reproach.

Li Yunlong said: "Lao Zhao, this is the poor vigilance of local comrades, what does it have to do with you?" Don't take responsibility for yourself. ”

Speaking of this, he said: "If you want to blame, you can only blame Xiao Wang, he is in charge of intelligence work." ”

"The regiment commander is right in his criticism, I am really to blame for this, I was careless, and I didn't pay attention to counter-espionage."

Wang Ye said again: "However, even if the devil knows about the underground Great Wall, it doesn't matter, after all, we didn't plan to hide it from the devil at the beginning, but we didn't expect the devil to remember to investigate until now, so let them check it, the more they check, the more confused they will be, and the devil wants to find out the exact tunnel network, it is simply wishful thinking." ”

Speaking of this, he added: "And this thing can bring us an additional benefit." ”

"And the benefits?" Li Yunlong said, "This is fresh, you can talk about it, what are the benefits?" ”

Wang Ye said: "These bad elements who are idle, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling are originally unstable factors, and when the devil's sweep begins, they will definitely be demons, and now there is no such hidden danger." ”

"We'll be able to catch the devils before they start moving."

……

Tsuneo Arai is already mushy.

In the beginning, he also tried to sketch out the information provided by Pan Ren.

But after two days, Arai gave up on the idea, because Pan Ren provided too much and too much information, and much of the information was contradictory.

However, Tsuneo Arai truthfully compiled this information.

Today, it was the deadline given to him by Michiichi Miyano, and Tsuneo Arai came to the division headquarters with the gathered information.

After reading the information summarized by Arai Tsuneo, Miyano Michiichi was also the first two big, and said with a dark face: "Arai-kun, I spent 100,000 yuan to buy a bunch of waste paper?" ”

Pan Ren proposed 10,000 oceans at the beginning.

However, as the work progressed, the funding gap became wider.

The point is that there are too many intelligence personnel in the development, there are already thousands of them!

Michichi Miyano and Tsuneo Arai had a hard time riding tigers, so they could only continue to increase expenses.

However, the funds of 100,000 yuan were spent, but only this pile of waste paper was bought, and Miyano Michiichi was about to die of anger.

"Division commander, you can't say it's waste paper." Arai Tsuneo said in a low voice, "At least we know one fact, there is a super huge underground transportation network under the Fuliang Mountain bandit area. ”

"This underground transportation network connects almost the entire bandit area."

"What will happen if the Imperial Army rushes into the bandit area without knowing it?"

"Division commander, you might as well imagine that when the imperial army was camping, the Eighth Route Army suddenly appeared around the camp, and when the imperial army was advancing, a heavy machine gun suddenly appeared behind it, how terrible it was?"

As soon as Arai Tsuneo said this, Miyano Michiichi couldn't help but shudder.
