The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 518 I Heard It

Ouyang Xue did not expect that the welcome scene would be so great, not only Gao Jiu came, but all the generals of the 41st Army came.

Ouyang Xue felt a little surprised, she was not treated like this when she came last time.

It turned out that the generals of the 41st Army knew Ouyang Xue's true identity, so they were naturally willing to come to greet her. On the one hand, they wanted to show their respect for her, and on the other hand, they also hoped to leave a good impression in her mind. .

Ouyang Xue is a well-informed person, so she can handle such a scene with ease.She smiled and nodded to everyone.

Next, she introduced the people in plain clothes behind her.

According to Gao Jiu's request, these people were experts in mining exploration, metallurgy, construction and other fields hired from the rear to assist the 41st Army in developing the economy of Nanyang.

Commander Wang extended a warm welcome to these experts on behalf of the generals of the 41st Army.

Next, the 41st Army hosted a banquet for Ouyang Xue and the experts.The reception of the 41st Army was of a very high standard, and the banquet was very luxuriously arranged.Those experts and scholars were a little flattered to see that the generals of the 41st Army attached so much importance to them.What they didn't know was that the reason why these national army generals were so grand was to impress Ouyang Xue.

Zhou Mingshan thinks differently from the generals of the 41st Army. He is very proud of his close relationship with Gao Jiu. Moreover, Ouyang Xue is Gao Jiu's future daughter-in-law. Instead of trying to please Ouyang Xue, it is better to have a good relationship with Gao Jiu works.

The next day, Gao Jiu, Wang Jindong, Ouyang Xue and the experts from Chongqing held a seminar on economic development in Nanyang.

The meeting also specially invited relevant personnel from the NY City Government and Nanyang Chamber of Commerce. First, they introduced the basic situation of economic development in Nanyang.

A deputy mayor in charge of economy of the NY city government introduced the development of industry and commerce in Nanyang area, and said with some embarrassment: "The economy in Nanyang area has no characteristics. Before the war, the development of industry and commerce was relatively backward. Now it is in the During the war, all walks of life were very depressed, and how to improve the economy of the Nanyang area, I also ask the experts to give advice."

The experts from Chongqing felt that there was no future for economic development in Nanyang before they came, and they were not willing to come at all.

Because of Ouyang Xue's presence, the government put a lot of pressure on them, and Gao Jiu promised to triple their salary and give them dividends in the future, so they reluctantly agreed to come and have a look.

These experts have already thought about it, and after arriving in Nanyang, they will return to Chongqing in a perfunctory manner.

After listening to the introduction by the deputy mayor of NY, the leader of the expert group said: "NY lacks resources and has no great potential for development. Moreover, it is isolated behind enemy lines and the circulation of materials is difficult. Although we want to help, there is nothing we can do. "

Hearing this, Wang Jindong became a little anxious. He didn't understand economics, so he said to Gao Jiu: "Brother Gao, let's talk about it."

The members of the expert group have heard Gao Jiu's name for a long time and know that he is an anti-Japanese hero.However, they are still not convinced that Gao Jiu understands economics.Before they arrived, Ouyang Xue told them that as long as they came to Nanyang, they would not be disappointed, because Gao Jiu had already promised that there was great potential for economic development in Nanyang area, they didn't believe this at all.

At this moment, the members of the expert group were all looking at Gao Jiu, ready to refute him when he couldn't make a point.

Gao Jiu introduced the mineral situation in Nanyang area that he had mastered to everyone.

The deputy mayor of NY City, the president of the Chamber of Commerce and others were very surprised, but they didn't believe it.It's no wonder, if there are so many treasures buried underground here, how could they local snakes not know about it?
The leader of the expert team, seeing the expressions of the NY city government officials, knew that they did not believe Gao Jiu's words.He asked jokingly, "Mr. Gao, how do you know these things?"

Gao Jiu said with a smile: "I've heard it all. Whether it's true or not, you might as well go for a field trip." Early the next morning, Gao Jiu and others accompanied the experts to Funiu Mountain for field trips.

In the car, Ouyang Xue was also a little uneasy, she asked in a low voice: "Ninth brother, you are not familiar with Nanyang area, how do you know where there are mines?"

Gao Jiu said with a smile: "I've heard it, and I don't know if it's true, just go and see it."

Ouyang Xue had great confidence in Gao Jiu, and after hearing what he said, her heart felt at ease.

At this moment, the two of them were sitting in the back seat of the car, and there was a driver in front of them, so it was inconvenient to have a private conversation.Ouyang Xue quietly reached out to hold Gao Jiu's big hand, Gao Jiu turned over and held her hand, the two looked at each other and smiled, their eyes were full of sweetness.

The members of the expert team sat in the cabin of the truck, and the bumps on the road made them very uncomfortable.Someone said: "Isn't this nonsense, just relying on hearsay to find mineral deposits, it's pure nonsense."

The leader of the expert team said: "Don't you want to go back to Chongqing? This is a good opportunity. As long as he can't find the mine, we have a reason to go back. Therefore, if he wants to make a fuss, let's go with him. Just come to enjoy the scenery.”

An expert said with a self-mockery: "This is the only time for such a trip. I can't find the mine, and I will return to Chongqing immediately."

The cars they were riding in drove towards the mountainous area. When they reached a valley, they got off the car. Gao Jiu led the way. After turning over a ridge, Gao Jiu pointed to a valley in front of him and said, "I heard that people in this area There are gold mines, I don’t know if it’s true, you guys investigate.”

The experts of the exploration team didn't believe it at all. Everyone was very dissatisfied, and they were lazy and unwilling to move.

Ouyang Xue persuaded them softly, and for her sake, the members of the exploration team entered the valley for exploration.

Not long after, an exploration team member shouted in surprise, saying that the geological conditions here fully meet the conditions for gold generation.Now the members of the exploration team cheered up and began to explore seriously.

Soon after, there was another burst of cheers from the crowd.The leader of the exploration team came in front of Gao Jiu and the others, and said excitedly: "There are really gold mines here. The quality of the mineral deposits is high and the veins are wide. Although the reserves cannot be judged for the time being, based on experience, there must be no gold deposits." Small. Moreover, the ore vein is close to the ground, which is convenient for mining. It is really a high-quality mine.”

Everyone looked at Gao Jiu with suspicious expressions, they didn't understand how he could hear such accurate news.

This matter is obviously unreasonable. If someone knew that there was a gold mine here and had already mined it by himself, why would he tell Gao Jiu?
Although Ouyang Xue knew Gao Jiu's magic, but this matter was still a bit too unbelievable.She couldn't help asking: "Ninth brother, how do you know there will be gold mines here?"

Gao Jiu has detailed information about the mineral resources in the Nanyang area. These mineral resources have not yet been developed in this era, and Gao Jiu used them to enjoy them in advance.

Of course, this is a bit unfair to future generations, but now in order to resist the Japanese, Gao Jiu can't control so much.

Gao Jiu smiled and said, "Didn't I say it, I heard it."

Wang Jindong said a little unconvinced: "Brother Gao, you have never been here since you came to Nanyang. When did you hear about it? We have been in Nanyang for so long, why haven't we heard of it?"

Those people in the NY city government were very surprised and somewhat regretful.If they knew that there were gold mines here, they would make a fortune.This made it easier for Gao Jiu and the soldiers of the 41st Army.

Envious and jealous, everyone looked at Gao Jiu with complicated eyes.

Gao Jiu smiled smugly: "I heard about a blind cat meeting a dead mouse by accident, so I came to try my luck. Who would have thought that it was true? It seems that this hearsay is also useful."

In the following days, Gao Jiu led the exploration team out to find ores all day long. After a short time, he found several mineral deposits that were easy to mine and rich in reserves.

Seeing how miraculous Gao Jiu was, the exploration team didn't bother to check the information. Anyway, they could find the mineral deposit directly by following Gao Jiu.

The expert group from Chongqing was really convinced, and together with Gao Jiu and others, they formulated an economic development plan for the Nanyang area.

Then began the construction of mining infrastructure.The mining company that Gao Jiu cooperated with the 41st Army has 100 million oceans in cash and sufficient funds.In order to save money, the 41st Army stopped hiring workers and directly transferred a regiment of troops to use the soldiers as workers.

The well-trained officers and soldiers worked extremely efficiently, which greatly accelerated the construction of mining infrastructure.Soon after, the first gold mines began to be mined and produced.

In addition to gold mines, mining companies have focused on building copper mines, cement plants and steel plants.Gold mines and copper mines are used to sell money and increase income. The products produced by cement factories and steel factories are used to build a large number of reinforced concrete fortifications in key areas of Nanyang.Of course, the copper and iron products produced in Nanyang can provide a large amount of raw materials for the arsenal of the Taohuashan guerrillas.Gao Jiu is very particular about his work, and he will buy these raw materials according to the market price.

Driven by the mining of several large-scale mineral deposits, other supporting economic activities in the Nanyang area have also become active, and the economic development of the Nanyang area has shown a vibrant scene.

The huge profits brought by the mining of minerals made Gao Jiu and the 41st Army earn a lot of money, smiling.

While guiding Nanyang's economic development, Gao Jiu, Ouyang Xue and the medical experts she brought began to study the development and production of penicillin.

Gao Jiu stayed in Nanyang for two and a half months, Ouyang Xue was also very happy, and stayed with Gao Jiu in Nanyang.

On this day, Mrs. Song, the wife's elder brother, came to Nanyang in person and discussed with Gao Jiu about the production of penicillin.The three parties agreed on the shareholding.Gao Jiu accounted for 50%, Ouyang Xue represented the Ni family accounted for 30%, and his wife accounted for 20%.Ouyang Xue is in charge of the specific operation.

Afterwards, Ouyang Xue left Nanyang with Mr. Song.After returning to Chongqing, Southwest Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. was established immediately and began to develop and produce penicillin.

Under Gao Jiu's proposal, Chen Yuehan and Huang Shuigen came to Nanyang City and held a joint meeting with Gao Jiu and the senior generals of the 41st Army. Zhou Mingshan also attended the meeting.

After consultations, the two sides agreed to establish a joint defense mechanism, to support each other in combat, to exchange supplies in peacetime, and to allow personnel to freely transit.So far, the Nanyang area, the underground party anti-Japanese base area in Southwest Shandong, and Taohuashan have formed a new iron triangle.

At the end of October, winter came, and Gao Jiu was about to leave for Taohuashan.He recruited 10 educated youths in Nanyang City and Zhumadian, including 100 young women.Gao Jiu's main target is these 50 young women. He wants to take them to Taohuashan to solve the marriage problems of the leaders of the Taohuashan guerrillas who meet the marriageable age and the old special forces members.It seemed too obvious to recruit only young women, so another 50 young men were recruited.Of course, these young men are also very good. They are educated and physically strong, and they can become excellent special forces members after training.

After finishing these things, Gao Jiu said goodbye to the generals of the 41st Army and embarked on the journey back to Peach Blossom Mountain.

On this day, Gao Jiu and the others came to Southwest Lu, at this time, Jiang Xiaomei and the others had already returned here.Since there are no Japanese and puppet troops in this area, the Southwest Military Division and the underground party government agencies in Southwest Shandong have moved to Zhiyuan County for office.

Gao Jiu stayed in Zhiyuan County for two days. The Southwest Military Division of Shandong had prepared 200 educated young people for him, including 170 young men and 30 young women.

Gao Jiu is about to leave Southwest Shandong, and Jiang Xiaomei and her brother Jiang Yong come to see Gao Jiu.

After arriving in Southwest Shandong, Jiang Xinshan saw that his daughter was doing so well, and felt that he was a bit old and didn't want to go out to make troubles anymore, so he stayed in the Southwest Shandong Military Division and became a martial arts instructor.

Jiang Yong was very envious of Gao Jiu being a bandit in Taohuashan. He was unwilling to join the underground party, so he took the money Gao Jiu gave him to recruit a group of young and middle-aged men and set up his own anti-Japanese guerrilla.

Jiang Yong hoped that his subordinates could also have the same fighting power as the special fighters of the Taohuashan guerrillas, so he begged Jiang Xiaomei to come to Gao Jiu, hoping that Gao Jiu could help him train the guerrillas.

Jiang Xiaomei said: "Ninth brother, my brother wants to go to Peach Blossom Mountain with you, please help him train some guerrillas."

Gao Jiu agreed without hesitation, and Jiang Yong took 10 guerrillas to Taohua Mountain with Gao Jiu.

On this day, Gao Jiu and the others finally returned to Peach Blossom Mountain, and Peach Blossom Mountain held a grand banquet, needless to say.

After years of fighting, Gao Jiu felt a little tired. After returning to Peach Blossom Mountain, he didn't want to go out again for the time being, and planned to spend the winter comfortably in Peach Blossom Mountain.

On this day, it was snowing heavily in the sky. Looking at the heavy snow, Gao Jiu couldn't help but sneezed, and said to himself, "I don't know who misses me."
