Chapter 467: What a Negative Man
Zhang Sixing rode into Kunming City, not for anything else, he came to borrow grain. Although the work of agricultural production has begun, it is difficult to survive the hunger and cold before they can produce food.
It wasn't a day or two, it was a few months.
The money brought by Li Youtian, the old tobacco bag, can only support the source of food for a period of time. After all, the food needs of tens of thousands of people a day are really a huge amount.
The most infuriating thing is that the profiteers raised the price of food at the same time, almost as if they had negotiated.
It made the predicament of the paratrooper school even worse, which also made Zhang Sixing deeply feel that those warlords like to control the territory. With the territory, there is the right to collect taxes, and the military rations are guaranteed first.
Although in the future, after the establishment of various businesses, there will be good returns. But now, I have to think of something to do it.
Xu Zhong, who had just returned from the city after dinner, sighed,
"Mr. Zhang, it's better to ...... It is better to hand over those veterans to the government, which can also make up for a lot of food shortages. ”
He had just come out of the garrison headquarters in Kunming City, and he had gone from being an industrial manager of a paratrooper school to a ball. Especially the faces of those clerks at this moment, Zhang Sixing remembers it clearly,
"Ah, what you said about the pension of wounded soldiers and the issue of military pay is very troublesome to solve, you can go back and wait."
"Then the supply we should normally give, the government should not withhold."
smiled bitterly, Xu Zhong smiled,
"Of course not, I heard that you made a fuss over there in Wuhan for supplies, so the Ministry of Military Affairs strictly ordered all localities and places not to delay or intercept them, but the wounded soldiers ......"
scolded the one next door, it's really the king of Hades who is so difficult to see a little ghost, Zhang Sixing frowned and asked,
"You didn't tell the clerk, those are all wounded soldiers from the Songhu battlefield."
The bitterness on his face, the look on Xu Zhongze's face was- I thought you knew.
Sighing, Zhang Sixing knew that this was the alienation between the government and the people, and at the same time, the army did not have a good reputation among the people because of the warlord melee.
At this time, he was extremely nostalgic for the scene when the people fed him when he left from the earthquake, flood and other disaster relief affairs in his previous life. Those who have not experienced it will not appreciate the strong difference at all.
"Tomorrow, ...... Tomorrow I will go to meet those who are doing things in person, and all of them have such deep problems. ”
Listening to Zhang Sixing's angry words, Xu Zhong shrunk his neck. He knew too well that the guy in front of him, nicknamed the "Four Elements Demon King", would really annoy thousands of people and kill you.
"This ...... It is an ordinary difficulty, and the sin does not lead to death. But our food ...... If you buy it like this, no matter how rich you are, who can withstand the extortion of the profiteers. ”
Fingers tapped the drums of military songs on the table, and Zhang Sixing felt that these things were more difficult than when he was in the army or doing business in Germany. He couldn't understand how those profiteers could bear to do this in the face of the wounded soldiers coming down from the Songhu battlefield.
He also can't understand that those clerks, with a small amount of authority, will make things difficult for people like this, and in summary, this is too little garbage killing.
In his previous life, he encountered many extremely bad lower-level officials, and good policies could never reach the people. On the contrary, they are all experts in charging fees and collecting money. Not to mention the government, lower-level officials will only get worse.
"In this way, the number of soldiers who have recovered will be reduced to two per day, but the food for the wounded and technicians will not be reduced."
While he was talking, someone knocked on the door of the conference room, Zhang Sixing stopped talking and raised his voice,
"Come in."
"Sir, Ba Shi and I both want to go home to see, and now I'm coming to you to ask for leave after being away from home for a long time."
I didn't think about it, Zhang Sixing nodded,
"No problem, but you have to be prepared to buy food...... Leave it to Mr. Xu, 2 We have a big food shortage. ”
Li Youtian, an old cigarette pouch who is old and sophisticated, doesn't have to look at words and looks at at it, he can hear that Zhang Sixing is very unhappy in his heart. Habitually took out a big cigarette pouch, dug a cigarette pot in the purse, and thought about it before saying,
"Sir, if you want me to say that it is a very stupid means to find a grain merchant to buy grain, we have a lot of locals in Yunnan here, and we go directly to the countryside to collect grain, and the villagers want us to buy it."
Looking for grain merchants to buy grain, this is what Xu Zhongze and Zhang Sixing, who are completely outsiders, do. Moreover, during the Republic of China, the xenophobic sentiment everywhere was quite serious, and outsiders did not slaughter for nothing.
"We are a team of tens of thousands of people, how can we buy enough."
Without thinking about it, Xu Zhong raised objections. However, Zhang Sixing doesn't think like this, relatively speaking, the people may not have much grain in their hands, but it is definitely much cheaper than the grain merchants.
"Old tobacco bag, what is there to fight in the mountains in winter, and we also want meat that can be eaten. This is at least two or three months of continuous work, so that they can earn money when they are not working, but it is better to live. ”
Hearing Zhang Sixing's words, the eyes of the old cigarette pouch Li Youtian lit up. You must know that the people of the Miao nationality are very familiar with the hunting industry.
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Sixing thought of more,
"Old cigarette bag, I have approved your leave, but let's make it clear first, the vacation must not affect the battle, and the chief officer can only go one."
"Yes"
The old cigarette pouch made an unsightly military salute with the cigarette pouch in his mouth, turned around and was about to go out, when he was suddenly stopped by Zhang Sixing,
"When you go back, call Yelena by the way."
It's been a few days since he came, and Zhang Sixing hasn't had time to show up at the field hospital. I haven't seen Yelena and the two sisters Ye Da and Ye for a few days, and the last time I heard that they were trying to make monkey wine.
Ye Lena, who heard Zhang Sixing calling her for a moment, trotted all the way into the command post, and complained as soon as she entered the door,
"I really didn't expect you to be such a negative person. Deloris has been here for so long and has healed so many wounded for you, but you have been in Kunming for so long, and you haven't seen people. ”
What he said was how big Xu Shangze's eyes were, he couldn't understand if this Yelena in front of him had eaten something wrong, wasn't it a good thing that the men in his family didn't go to see other women?
However, Zhang Sixing is just like when he was fighting, at the moment he is full of things that have not been solved, how can he be in the mood to do other things.
"Yelena, don't say anything else, take people to Kunming City tonight, and broadcast a few more shows in the south and north of the city. At this time, I think it is too far away from the battlefield, and some people have no feeling about this war at all. ”
"Okay"
Yelena has always had a very good attitude towards work, but Xu Zhong seems to have figured out what Zhang Sixing has to do.
In this world, human opinion is the most unpredictable. Unless something is a common understanding, everyone will work together. And this kind of cognition, before it forms a trend, many people will not care.
Just like the person who does the errand, maybe their conscience is not too bad, maybe he will still honor the elderly. But he is insensitive on major issues of right and wrong, and he is the goods that deserve to be beaten.
Facing Xu Zhongze's somewhat worried gaze, the corners of Zhang Sixing's mouth skimmed out a line of laugh lines,
"Don't worry, our paratrooper school now needs guns and no guns, and there are no supplies, I won't bloody Kunming City."
