Lost and Spy

Chapter 2127 Provoked public anger

In the face of the catastrophe, the Chinese people are united.

Even bandits can abandon their prejudices and hatred, and wish Henan through the famine together.

At this time in Chongqing, the Japanese special organizations were eliminated one after another, entering a rare, but certainly short-lived period of peace.

In addition to continuing to ensure the safety of the accompanying capital, the military command has added the task of assisting the military and police to ensure the security of Chongqing.

This kind of peaceful and relatively comfortable life has not been lived for a long time.

Early in the morning, Meng Shaoyuan and Li Zhifeng sent Yin Peiya and her daughter to the airport.

He didn't go in, but let Ding Wenrui take their mother and daughter in.

Meng Shaoyuan always remembered that Ma Xueheng asked herself childishly:
"Godfather, when will you come to see me?"

"Soon, I promise, soon."

Meng Shaoyuan made his promise solemnly.

He saw that Alao was already waiting there before the plane.

After receiving Yin Peiya's mother and daughter, Alao waved gently towards the outside of the airport.

He couldn't see it, but he knew that his master must be staring at him there.

Goodbye, master.

Take care, master.

I look forward to continuing to serve you, master!

This is the flight to India, on the "hump route" of death.

Not many passengers had the guts to take the route at the time.

But the magic is that even though the plane was transporting supplies, accidents continued, and the ground was full of plane wreckage.

However, once passengers are transported, the chances of an accident on the plane are very small.

This wonderful phenomenon, probably no one can explain it.

Meng Shaoyuan waited until the plane took off before leaving the airport.

Alao, Yin Peiya, Ma Xueheng, this is the first batch.

In the future, more such things will happen.

"Sir, where are you going?"

"I just received the report that the whole of Sichuan is doing disaster relief. The price of rice in Sichuan is already high, and the French currency is falling all the way. This time, the relief of Henan will cause a large shortage of food, and the price of food will definitely skyrocket again. Some illegal profiteers have already started hoard supplies."

Meng Shaoyuan said with a sullen face: "The national government strictly ordered the food hoarders to be handled together, and the hoarders were severely punished, but those profiteers still turned a deaf ear to them. The military command, the Ministry of Grain, the military police, and the Judicial Yuan jointly launched an investigation on these hoarders. Our main task is to assist !"

Food prices are already too high.

According to the price limit of rice stipulated by the government, the upper rice is 880 yuan, the middle rice is 800 yuan, and the lower rice is 720 yuan per hectare.

However, this price-limited rice cannot be bought at all in the market.

The price of rice merchants is 1040 yuan per hectare for upper rice, 900 yuan for medium rice, and 880 yuan for lower rice.

The price of the next rice will be the same as the price of the upper rice stipulated by the government!
More importantly, news of the catastrophe in Henan spread, and those profiteers quickly sensed the business opportunities involved.

They knew that the military rations originally used for war were already stretched, and now they had to provide relief to Henan province, so there would inevitably be a big shortage of food.

Here's your chance to stock up on a large scale!

880 yuan of rice, the market has also begun to tense.

"Isn't the government allocating so much grain to the market every day?" Ding Wenrui was a little puzzled: "Is there still not enough supply?"

Meng Shaoyuan didn't answer, Li Zhifeng helped and said: "That little rice is not enough, the government's strategy has always been to put the army first and then the civilians, and the front line is the first priority, and the food to be put on the market is limited.

What's even more hateful is that even this small amount of food has been targeted by those profiteers.They employ a large number of people, and every day when the sale starts, the food will be snapped up by these people. "

"Some time ago, the cook of my Meng Mansion saw something with his own eyes." Meng Shaoyuan said: "A man lined up for a whole night in order to buy cheap food, and he was at the front. But he was just about to start selling food." , a group of people squeezed him out.

The man wanted to reason with them, but he was beaten up by some hooligans who had ambushed him long ago.The man struggled to get up from the ground after a long time, and when he saw that there was no grain left in a short time, the seven-foot-long man squatted on the ground crying loudly. "

Ding Wenrui had been in the army before, and he was in the 200th Division, the most elite ace division.

He has never worried about food and clothing.

When he arrived in Chongqing, he was lured into the army by Meng Shaoyuan again, and he had no worries about food and clothing.

Hearing this, I couldn't help asking: "The government doesn't care? This is the capital!"

"This is the capital!" Meng Shaoyuan continued his tone and said, "How many officials are here? If a leaf hits a passerby, the official may be bigger than us. Those profiteers, do you think they only represent the interests of businessmen? Do you think there is no one behind them? There is a lot of power behind them!
Some time ago, when food prices were stabilized, there was a major corruption case, but a few reptiles were used as scapegoats, and none of the real masterminds behind the scenes was fine.There is no way to investigate, and if the investigation continues, I don't know how many high-ranking officials will be implicated. No one can afford this responsibility. Everyone just turn a blind eye and close one.In this way, those profiteers are even more confident.

The Qiu family, a giant merchant in Sichuan, has my backing behind them, but so what?During the holidays, the filial piety that should be given must not be missed at all.The money earned, do you know how much, went into the pockets of those officials?If you don't do this, even if it's the Qiu family, they can make you lose your business every minute. It's easier for them to kill you than to crush an ant! "

Speaking of this, Meng Shaoyuan gave a wry smile: "The government also wants to crack down on these profiteers who hoard goods. The time of sale is different every time. The problem is that, no matter how the time changes, the profiteers can always know the exact time. They Is it a prophet, or a supernatural power?"

Ding Wenrui was silent.

But after a while, he asked unwillingly: "Sir, you are really powerful, and we are in the military command, so there is nothing you can do?"

"You are right in saying that I belong to the military command." Meng Shaoyuan's voice was a bit bitter: "In my one-acre-three-point land, I can do whatever I want. Once the Rite case is involved, I will kill everyone." Anyone who dares to investigate, Mr. Dai will support me, and the chairman can also support me. I am not afraid of anyone!
However, it will be quite different if it is outside my sphere of influence.Our military command was ordered to assist in the investigation of profiteers hoarding goods, how to investigate?Check, it's too simple, what should I do if I found it?Do we dare to touch the Ministry of Food, or dare to touch other government agencies with real power?It's really moving, it's going to arouse public anger. "

"What? Arouse public anger?" Ding Wenrui was at a loss.

"Don't you understand? Because we touched someone else's big cake!" Meng Shaoyuan slightly emphasized his voice: "You touched someone else's cake and cut off other people's money. They want to fight with you."

"Then we are just a display?"

"A display? Who dares to use our military commander's as a display? I dare not move it openly. Could it be that I will not make a trap in the dark?" Meng Shaoyuan said with a sneer.
