Chapter 1411 Control the price of rice

Chapter 1411 Control the price of rice
Meng Shaoyuan thought it was quite funny.

At the beginning of the establishment of No. 76, the Japanese side allocated 30 yen a month as funds, and also gave [-] guns, [-] bullets and other military equipment at one time.

The initial financial support was fairly timely, but with the successive accidents on the 76th and the financial problems of the Japanese special agency itself, there were many delays in the allocation of funds.

Even if it finally arrives, it is often not given in full.

This also restricts the development of No. 76.

It is said that every month, Li Shiqun has a headache over how to pay his spies.

Moreover, in that stock market crash, Li Shiqun suffered heavy losses, which made him heavily in debt, and even used the activity funds of No. 76.

This also made the Japanese furious and reprimanded Li Shiqun.

If it weren't for Qingqi Qingyin to keep it there, I'm afraid Li Shiqun would be even more unlucky.

And look at the military command?

Under his own scheduling, the funds are abundant, and there is no worry in this regard at all.

Meng Shaoyuan's consistent view is, why should a good person eat chaff?A good person can have a lot of fish and meat!
"Why is it so troublesome?"

Sinclair picked up the cigar that Meng Shaoyuan had given him, sniffed it under his nose: "They are openly carrying weapons, which has violated the law of the concession. We can definitely expel them."

"What's the use of that?" Meng Shaoyuan said lightly: "If you drive them away, they will come back soon, and their activities will be more covert. Besides, this will only make the Japanese government put pressure on the Ministry of Industry and Commerce again. Increase the troubles of the Ministry of Industry and Bureau."

"Mr. Meng, that's why I choose you as my friend."

At this time, Dong Kai Ziwei, the director of the public concession board, pushed the door and walked in: "My friend, you don't always ask for it. You are willing to consider each other in everything. I like you very much."

You are not a woman, I want you to like me?
Meng Shaoyuan smiled and said: "Mr. Dong has given us a lot of help since he took office. Please rest assured that Chinese people will never forget their friends."

Kai Ziwei is also interesting, with a natural hatred for the Japanese.

Although under pressure and considering the survival of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, it still made a lot of concessions to the Japanese side, but it is no longer the same as the previous general directors.

Overtly and secretly, he has helped the Shanghai District of the Military Control Bureau a lot.

"How do you say that in Chinese? The storm is coming." Kai Ziwei seemed to be preoccupied: "Recently, a large number of strange faces have poured into the concession, which makes me very worried."

"More than that." Meng Shaoyuan took up his topic and said, "I can tell Mr. Dong responsibly that the concession has been divided into four regions by the Japanese side. The central area is safe for the time being. We are all willing to use this as a buffer zone."

"In the past, the concession was our concession." Kai Ziwei smiled bitterly: "But now? We are gradually losing control of the concession. Maybe when I open my eyes tomorrow, the Japanese flag will be hoisted on the On the Ministry of Industry Building."

It's not as serious as you said, but this day will come sooner or later.

"I don't want to see war in the concession, which is not good for any of us." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "Maintaining the security of the concession is not only your business, but also my responsibility. I will try to use the most low-key way. Help the Ministry of Industry and Bureau solve this trouble."

Kai Ziwei didn't know what to say.

Help the Ministry of Industry and Bureau solve this trouble?

Has the Ministry of Industry and Commerce degenerated to the point where it needs to rely on external forces?

In fact, if you think about it carefully, there is nothing to be ashamed of.

The Ministry of Industry and Commerce never really took full control of the International Settlement.

At the earliest, there was a general strike directed by Ningbo people.

Then, there was the appearance of the three tycoons in Shanghai.

It was hard to wait until the three tycoons left and retired, and finally the new generation of Shanghai King appeared again.

The power of the Chinese has never faded away in the International Settlement!
"Mr. President, you don't have to worry about these trivial matters." Meng Shaoyuan said suddenly, "I came today because I have something else to ask for your help."

"Please speak, within the limits of my ability."

Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "The price of rice in Shanghai has remained high since the outbreak of the war, coupled with the influx of a large number of refugees into the concession, the cost of living in the concession has become higher and higher, and many ordinary families have reached the point where they cannot sustain themselves. I hope that the Ministry of Industry and Commerce can issue a notice not to allow those profiteers to hoard goods, and bring the price of rice back to a normal level as soon as possible.”

Kai Ziwei was a little dazed.

The young man in front of him is a spy, and he is also a big spy leader.

How could a spy suddenly become so concerned about the price of rice for no apparent reason?
"Mr. Dong, can you do me this favor?"

"of course can."

Although Kai Ziwei felt baffled, he agreed without hesitation: "This is also the responsibility of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce. If the price of rice remains high, it will easily cause a series of follow-ups, which will also cause panic in the concession."

"Then, on behalf of all SH citizens, I thank you."

"This is my job." Kai Ziwei glanced at his watch: "I still have a meeting to attend, so I won't accompany you."

"Okay, Mr. Dong, see you next time."

Sinclair watched Kai Ziwei go out, and suddenly said: "Meng, you are really a cunning person."

"Why do you say that?" Meng Shaoyuan took out a cigarette.

"Fujin rice line."

Sinclair said meaningfully: "The patrol house doesn't just know how to eat all day long. We also have many excellent detectives and patrols. Since a large number of forces have poured into the concession, spies have frequently entered and exited Fujinmixing. According to your statement , is this a focal point or something else?
The owner of Fujin Rice Shop is Japanese, and the Japanese still have some privileges in the concession.I think, you are probably using the brains of Mi Xing, right? "

"That's right." Meng Shaoyuan didn't deny it at all: "You can't check the Fujin rice shop, but what I can tell you is that this is a weapons warehouse, and there are a lot of weapons and explosives hidden in it."

Sinclair's complexion changed slightly.

"You can't move the Fujin rice line, and I can't move either, unless there is a bloody battle." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "I still don't want the public concession to be in chaos, which is not in our interest. If so, I have to think about it There is a way to make this rice bank useless, at least, it will not work for a period of time."

Sinclair shrugged.

He can't quite understand what the other party wants to do, but he trusts his "friend", he must have a perfect plan.

This plan can achieve his goal, and it will also make his enemies suffer a lot!
