Chapter 275 Dumbfounded Li Yunlong is Forced to Make a Living (Subscribe)

Li Yunlong's reasoning made Zhao Gang stunned.

After a while, Zhao came back to his senses just now, and said dumbfoundedly: "Lao Li, what kind of nonsense are you doing? You almost got caught in it."

Ha ha ha ha--

Li Yunlong happily said: "Old Zhao, I'm not lying. This is the truth that our old Li has summed up after fighting with the little devil for so many years. I don't tell ordinary people to him."

"By the way, it has been five or six days since Lao Kong led the independent group to Niukou Village. Lao Zhao, what do you think Lao Kong did after he arrived in Niukou Village?"

Seeing Zhao Gang's doubts, Li Yunlong said: "Two things, the news from Niukou Village said that after Lao Kong arrived in Niukou Village, he began to buy copper plates from the villagers, which are the copper plates used in the old society. , Now many places are still in circulation!
I heard that ten times or even more than ten times the price is used to recycle copper plates. Don’t tell me, it makes me feel itchy in my heart. I wish I could take the copper plates that our Xin Ertuan reserves to Lao Kong for some money. "

Zhao Gang wondered, "What does Lao Kong collect copper plates for?"

Li Yunlong said: "What else can I do? Let's make bullets. Lao Kong has a big appetite. I heard Zhang Wanhe said that our Shuiyaozi Arsenal can use existing materials to produce some reloading bullets. Gunpowder is made of shells." For the dismantled smokeless medicine, the primer is made by ourselves, and the bullet head is made of copper coins, and almost one copper coin can produce such a bullet.”

Zhao Gang suddenly said: "Lao Li, you mean that Lao Kong collected these copper plates to make bullets himself?"

Although he didn't want to admit it, Li Yunlong still nodded his head: "Lao Kong's repair shop developed earlier than ours, and I even suspect that in some crafts, the technology of Lao Kong's repair shop is not even better than ours. The headquarters arsenal is poor."

"His repair shop can be regarded as a small arsenal. It is not difficult to produce bullets from copper coins."

"If our repair shop has this condition, I will have to collect copper coins."

Zhao Gang said: "Old Kong paid ten times or even more than ten times the price to buy copper plates. I'm afraid he still needs money?"

Heartbroken...

Li Yunlong has nothing to say, this is indeed one of the important reasons, after all, the new second regiment has just been formed and is too poor.

As for the funds allocated by the headquarters, in the words of the brigade commander, some were originally prepared for the new second regiment.

It's just that after the Zhengtai battle, the National Army suddenly cut off all the military expenditures of the Eighth Route Army, and the funds of the headquarters immediately became stretched, and there was no extra to allocate to the New Second Regiment, so the brigade commander asked Li Yunlong to figure out a way.

"I don't think there is much money in Lao Kong's hands. This is the second thing I want to say. I heard that two days ago, Lao Kong asked the monk and his guards to suppress a group of bandits in Heiyunzhai. Even the bandit village in Heiyun Peak was set on fire."

"These bandits have been bandits in the mountains for so many years, and they must have a lot of supplies and money on hand. Old Kong is too quick to act, that is, I didn't realize it. Otherwise, how could it be his turn to be an independent group?"

"Old Zhao, just wait and see, when our guerrilla operation is over, our new second regiment has saved up our wealth, and we will start to recycle copper coins. Even if we can't make bullets ourselves, we can get them from Zhang Wanhe to exchange bullets." OK."

Li Yunlong said confidently with his own little calculations in mind.

Time passed like this and several days passed, and the first company commander came back with the team first.

Then came the second company commander and the third company commander. Several company commanders led the team and returned to the station one after another.

Li Yunlong was a little dumbfounded, came back so soon?
Could it be that the guerrilla operations of the various ministries have captured too much money, so they returned to the station early?
Thinking of this, Li Yunlong, who was full of anticipation, took Zhao Gang, and rushed to the first company's garrison impatiently, and asked the first company commander about the situation.

"First company commander, you boy came back so early. Could it be that you have seized too many supplies and couldn't carry them, so you came back early? What about the seized equipment and supplies? Where are they hidden? Quickly show them to me. .”

First company commander: "..."

"What are you doing with a mournful face? Even if you didn't catch it, I wouldn't scold you."

"Commander, I've disappointed you. In the past few days we went out, we touched a road card in three platoons, seized a dozen guns, plus hundreds of bullets, and some grenades. In addition to these ,Nothing at all."

Li Yunlong was stunned and said: "Damn it, what's going on, your entire company managed to capture so little in the past few days?"

The first company commander said helplessly: "Head, there is really no way. Not only around our base area, but also in the guerrilla areas extending outwards, the devil's strongholds are basically gone."

Li Yunlong questioned: "What about the strongholds? What kind of cage policy did the little devil back then, there are even a dozen strongholds of different sizes on a single road. You kid told me that there are no strongholds?"

Captain Yilian said: "It's gone, Captain, it's gone."

"When Commander Kong and the others were still in the base area, the raids were carried out too thoroughly. They did not spare half of the Japanese strongholds, road cards, and artillery towers around the base area, or even in the guerrilla areas opened up farther away. , Even the maintenance association supported by the devils was robbed by the independent group several times when we inquired about it.

The little devil was terrified of being beaten, so he simply withdrew his troops and temporarily withdrew his troops from the more remote villages around the county seat. "

Li Yunlong: "..."

Zhao Gang was also stunned for a moment.

With a sudden change in his mind, Lao Zhao suddenly understood why Kong Jie had to choose to exchange places with the independent regiment in a hurry.

Good guy, Lao Li, who thought he was taking advantage, seems to have been tricked again!
It was not only Zhao Gang who wanted to understand this point, but Zhang Dabiao, who returned with the team, held his hat in his hand, and was about to cry to Li Yunlong with snot and tears.

"Regimental Commander, we have suffered a great loss. Around our new Second Regiment's base, he is out of money!!!"

All the guerrilla teams came back, and the news they brought back disappointed Li Yunlong time and time again.

Seeing the sad faces of the battalion and company commanders around him, Li Yunlong was silent for a while, then suddenly cursed:
"Damn it, Kong Er's idiot, I've been fooled by you!"

Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, said helplessly: "Commander, this is a troublesome moment. It's not so easy for us to start a side job. What should we do next?"

Li Yunlong scolded for a while, calmed down, and said: "Damn, you can't die if you get dizzy. There is no oil and water around the station, so you can stretch your hands longer. Except for the regiment headquarters to stay in Yangcun, each department takes time to develop agriculture. In addition, the rest of the troops are dispatched, boldly, to approach the enemy-occupied areas and county towns."

"In the raid not long ago, the devils and puppet troops were scared of being beaten. If they don't come out, we will find a way to fish them out."

"In addition, our repair shop is hurrying up to produce wooden handle grenades and fertilizer powder explosives."

"I think Ding Wei will be interested in these things. We can do business with Lao Ding and exchange some equipment and supplies."

"If it doesn't work, we can still choose some remote small towns, where the Japanese and puppet troops have relatively weak control, and hit them twice to attract the devil's attention and solve the material problem by the way."

"In addition, Lao Kong left us a few hundred catties of tea when he left. This is a good way. We can hire some old masters to make tea, and together with some local products around our base area, we can sell them to the county town and earn money. We will exchange the money for the daily necessities we need.”

Li Yunlong thought about countermeasures and said one by one.

"Big Biao."

"To!"

"In the past few days, you have sent people to various villages, not only our village, but also the villages where the [-]st Regiment and the [-]nd Regiment are stationed. One counts as one. Let's do it quickly and buy them in large quantities at three times the price. Copper plate."

Zhang Dabiao's eyes suddenly brightened, and he was a little uncertain: "Head, what are you?"

Li Yunlong said: "Hmph, the lack of oil and water in the resident is the good thing of Lao Kong. We can squeeze his wool, of course we can't hesitate.

We are the first to know about the fact that the independent group is recycling copper plates. It may take a while for other places to receive news. At Lao Kong's place, if you sell it at more than ten times the price, you will make a net profit of nearly ten times when you change hands back and forth. This is a sure-fire business. "

"With money, are you afraid that there will be no supplies and equipment? The Jinsui Army, as long as the money is in place, if you don't think about it, they will find a way to sell you the equipment themselves."

Suddenly realized, Zhang Dabiao immediately gave a thumbs up, "Head, you are so tall!"

Zhao Gang, who also came back to his senses, couldn't laugh or cry: "Old Li, isn't the price difference you earn as a middleman too much?"

Li Yunlong said cheerfully: "Our old Li knew how to do business from his mother's womb. There is only one reason for business. If he doesn't have a dark heart, can he make a fortune?"

"Besides, buying and selling, what you like and what you want, the copper coins are originally small change, and we pay three times the price to recycle them, and the common people will not suffer.

There are so many brothers in our new second regiment who have to eat, and also need equipment to fight devils!I can't think of a way, who can think of a way?If you want to say that you have a dark heart, the darkest one is that kid, Old Kong. "

"If he doesn't scrape off the oil and water of the resident, will our old Li be forced to open the business and engage in the activities of profiteers?"

Ha ha ha ha--

Zhao Gang couldn't bear it any longer and burst out laughing.
