My client Li Yunlong

"Brother who has done meritorious service, there is no need to sigh."

"Although the ideals you and I had when we joined the army lived up to our hopes, it would be good for people across the country to live a good life."

Chu Yunfei, who had put down the burden in his heart and started to show off, spoke in a leisurely tone.

"really."

Fang Ligong smiled bitterly.

The situation has been decided.

Unless the Japanese can concentrate all their efforts to destroy the Eighth Route Army in North China in one fell swoop, the overall situation in the future can already be seen, and Li Yunlong and his group must win the world.

Anyone who is not an idiot can see it.

It's not that he can't accept it.

He just wasn't used to it.

It wasn't loyalty to the party-state, which he had, but not much, but a temporary confusion about the future.

What should he do when the Eighth Route Army takes over the world?
"Where is that highway now?"

Chu Yunfei suddenly asked.

Jinan, Taihang, Taiyue, Luliang, Shaanxi and Gansu. This is the Eighth Route Army base area, laid out from north to south. After the Hundred Regiment War, it has now been connected together.

Li Yunlong and his group mobilized five construction teams, each with more than seven figures of workers, to build wide roads that ran through the five base areas, roads that could carry Taihang trucks.

To realize material transportation.

Of course, this road was completed last month, after all, it requires such a huge manpower.

But recently, this highway has begun to extend southward from Yan'an to the Guandong Basin, which is one of the cores of the preserved fruit hinterland.

"Arrived in Bai County."

Fang Ligong replied.

"Bai County."

Chu Yunfei immediately found Bai County on the map.

On the vast map, south of Bai County is the Guanzhong Plain.

"Bai County."

Looking at Bai County, Chu Yunfei murmured to himself.

From now on, a huge economic offensive will start during the day and penetrate southward.

···
Bai County Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

"Ah··"

Tian Erniu yawned and opened the door of the supply and marketing cooperative.

Do not,
Her name is Tian Shuiling, she thought to herself.

She is seventeen years old. Her two older brothers are serving in the Eighth Route Army and her younger brother is studying in school. After obtaining a junior high school diploma through self-study and night school, she successfully applied for the position of employee of the supply and marketing cooperative.

In fact, 50 people passed the exam at that time, and their education level was all junior high school education. Jobs in the supply and marketing cooperative were very popular, and they could earn more than 200 yuan a month. But in the end, only twenty people were admitted. However, her two brothers were in the army, so she was the first to be admitted and was sent to Bai County to work as an employee of the supply and marketing cooperative.

After learning how to read and write, she changed her name to Tian Shuiling.

After packing her things, she opened the daily cargo statistics booklet.

Although there is no shortage of food in the base area, due to the current chaos of war and limited transportation capacity, the Baixian Supply and Marketing Cooperative can only sell limited supplies every day.

Especially food.

Because to the south is the Guanzhong Basin, where millions of people live, and the demand for food is extremely high. However, because of the war, the destruction of the economy, and the destruction of agricultural production, there is always not enough food.

"There's so much food today!"

But when Tian Shuiling opened the manual, she found that the grain sales quota of their supply and marketing cooperative today was 105 tons.

A full hundred tons higher than yesterday.

Among them, 25 tons of rice, white flour and fine grains, 40 tons of sorghum, and 40 tons of millet.

The army has controlled Bai County for some time. After vigorous economic development, as the county seat of the adjacent Guanzhong Basin, Bai County now has ten supply and marketing cooperatives, and each supply and marketing cooperative sells the same materials every day.

In other words, Bai County sells as many as 1,050 tons of grain every day.

At two kilograms per person per day, it is enough to feed half a million people.

"More than a thousand tons a day."

"Grain prices are also very cheap. Sorghum costs 20 cents per catty and millet costs 30 cents per catty. They are as cheap as in the base area. In this way, the people in the Guanzhong Plain can also have enough to eat."

Tian Shuiling thought so in her heart.

"Purchase restrictions lifted?!"

"Great!"

"I want one hundred catties of white flour, five hundred catties of sorghum, and five hundred catties of millet."

At this time, a man came over with a mule, took out a stack of Jinan coins and said to Tian Shuiling.

He is a grain merchant.

"Ok."

Tian Shuiling smiled and nodded.

···
Opposite Bai County.

It is the headquarters of the 577th Regiment of the Central Army.

The troops stationed in the Guanzhong Basin are naturally direct troops. Although other troops have suffered a large-scale brain drain, the 577th Regiment is different. This troop has very few losses.

First of all, the officers are all from the training team and are loyal to the party and state's beliefs.

Secondly, and most importantly, as a direct line unit, the 577th Regiment's treatment is actually very good. It has been improved recently due to external pressure, and there are relatively fewer incidents of withholding military pay - the senior management is not a fool, and they are facing desperate situations. The situation will naturally lead to a final struggle.

But.

The deductions are much less, but still a lot.

and!

"Jinan coins."

The 577th regiment looked at the new Hebei Nan coins, also known as border coins, in their hands with a gloomy expression.

This is this month’s military pay.

It is the military pay of the 577th Regiment.

The group's base has been close to Guanzhong since the north. Nowadays, the entire Guanzhong uses this currency. Few people care about legal currency. If it weren't for the mountain city, they would regularly organize the exchange of legal currency for Hebei Nan currency.

Yes, exchange for Jinan currency. Today's legal currency is anchored by Jinan currency.

Fiat currencies are probably being eliminated.

But even so, the exchange of legal currency for Hebei Nan currency has been reduced to 2,500 yuan for one dollar.

Correspondingly, in the Guanzhong area, one pound of low-quality sorghum can be purchased for two hundred French coins, while one pound of high-quality sorghum can be purchased for two cents of Ji'nan coins.

The legal currency is still depreciating rapidly.

As a last resort, the top management had no choice but to change the general's salary from French currency to Hebei Nan currency.

"National traitor."

The leader of the 557th regiment gritted his teeth.

In his opinion, that group of people is a group of national thieves. They even stole the financial power of preserved fruits, and actually issued currency and seized the dominant monetary position of legal currency. This is not a national traitor.

only···
why?
Why would the central bank and the top management of Guogui allow this to happen?

Why not stop it?

The leader of the 577th Regiment, who was purely a soldier, didn't understand.

Why would their own senior management allow economic power to fall to others?

"Tuanzuo."

Suddenly, the chief of staff ran over and reported to the commander of the 577th Regiment:
"Recently, a large number of merchants were discovered at the pass, transporting grain to the basin!"

'food? ! '

The leader of the 577 regiment was shocked, although he was happy.

Thick message.

Although this is the Guanzhong Basin, known as the Central Plains, as the war progressed, the production order in the rear began to become chaotic, and the supply of food exceeded demand, causing food prices to rise. It was three times the size of the Eighth Route Army base area, which led to soldiers in his 577th Regiment not having enough to eat.

Now that a large amount of grain is transported from the opposite side, the price of grain in Guanzhong will definitely be reduced, and then...
The faces of Wu Qiqi Tuan suddenly became stiff.

Then···
Food is also controlled by people?
"Order··"

He subconsciously wanted the troops to intercept and block the food outside.

But before he could say anything, he was stunned again.

Can you stop it?

And even if it is intercepted, will the problem be solved?

What will those people do when the difference in food prices is three times greater than just a mountain apart?
only!

When the Eighth Route Army's cheap, high-quality grain enters the Guanzhong core control area, the Guanzhong Basin, how long can they hold it back?

"Any other news?"

The 577th Regiment asked sharply.

"According to information."

After hesitating for a moment, the chief of staff replied:
"They plan to recruit 200,000 workers at a monthly salary of 100 yuan to build roads and water conservancy facilities."

"One hundred dollars a month!"

Wu Qiqi Tuan swallowed his throat.

The unit under his command is the 577th Regiment, which is the direct line of the Central Military Commission. Financial allocation and equipment are the highest priority, but the grassroots soldiers only receive 50 yuan in military pay per month.

But the Eighth Route Army on the other side recruited workers and paid them 100 yuan a day.

One hundred dollars!

In the Eighth Route Army base area, you can buy 500 kilograms of fine sorghum and 300 kilograms of fine millet, which can easily feed a family of three.

Moreover, even the soldiers in his hands may not be able to receive military pay in time and in accordance with the amount. It is normal for them to receive less or a few months later.

The leader of the 577th Regiment slumped down on his chair.

He knew exactly what was going to happen next.

Let alone the people from Guanzhong Basin, even the soldiers in his hands may not be able to resist the temptation.

but··
The leader of the 577th Regiment quickly regained his energy.

First of all, the Eighth Route Army is not just yelling at people, it is really giving them 100 yuan a month.

"By the way, how much is their military pay?"

asked the 577th Regiment.

"They call it allowance over there, military allowance."

After hesitating again for a while, the chief of staff replied:

"According to information, in the Eighth Route Army base area, soldiers who join the Eighth Route Army and militiamen can receive a training allowance of five yuan for every day of training, and regular soldiers can receive a monthly allowance of one hundred and fifty yuan."

"But in fact, Eighth Route Army soldiers, as long as they are regular army soldiers, can get at least two hundred yuan a month."

"two hundred!"

The leader of the 577th Regiment frowned deeply.

He has 50 yuan a month here, and 200 yuan a month over there. And everyone is Chinese, so everyone knows how to choose and where to join the army.

As for whether the Eighth Route Army can give him two hundred yuan a month, the head of the 577th Regiment has no doubts.

These people are really rich.

Besides, the currencies are all controlled by others, and the Jinan currency has never depreciated!
"There is no need to panic, everyone."

The chief of staff advised:

"According to the meeting of the Ministry of Finance, although the Eighth Route Army did not know where to get a large number of silver dollars, it is expected that their Hebei Nan coins will soon begin to depreciate on a large scale."

"Although there are silver coins, they spend money too lavishly. Now there are a lot of Jinan coins on the market, and the market demand has increased significantly. Although food will not increase, other supplies will."

"Because other supplies are in short supply."

"What is the use?!"

The leader of the 577th Regiment shook his head.

It is a fact that the Hebei Nan coins issued by that group of people have become the domestic currency and the only currency in circulation. Even if the currency depreciates and prices rise, so what?
"Party state!"

After a long time, the leader of the 577th regiment sighed.

Even in the fourth period of Huangpu, he despaired of the fate of the party-state.

····
Taiyue base area.

Yu County.

The 386th Brigade completely occupied Yu County in July, and more than ten months have passed.

Yu County is also the core area of ​​Taiyue Base Area.

Naturally, this is also the economic development center of the Taiyue base area and the most prosperous area.

"Is this the new garment factory? Shoe factory?"

Looking at the huge factory in front of them, located in a reinforced concrete factory building, Zhang Wanhe, the boss, and the person in charge of the economic development plan of the base area all opened their eyes wide.

What appeared in front of everyone at this time was a series of factories and machines and equipment in the factories.

The thick reinforced concrete factory building is enough to block Japanese air attacks.

Besides,

The radar located on the top of a nearby mountain can also detect any enemy aircraft that dares to approach within 250 kilometers. The five J-1 fighter jets deployed nearby can take off within five minutes and shoot down the enemy aircraft.

very safe.

At this time, the factory has begun operations.

Under the busyness of the workers, pieces of clothing filed out of the production line. After a while, pieces of brand-new clothes were piled up in front of everyone, like a small mountain peak.

There are cotton and linen clothes, pure cotton clothes, and cold coats...

Excellent quality.

"How many pieces can be produced per day?"

the boss asked.

The garment factory in front of me was directly reimbursed by the supporters behind Li Yunlong. It has advanced equipment. It is said that it has a lot of automated technology and equipment and the production speed is extremely fast.

"The garment factory in Yu County is the largest. With sufficient supply of silk, cotton, linen and other raw materials, it can produce 100,000 sets of summer clothes every day, or 50,000 sets of winter clothes every day."

"When the Liao County Garment Factory, Changshi Garment Factory, and other garment factories are completed and put into operation, they will be able to produce a total of 500,000 sets of summer clothes or 250,000 sets of winter clothes every day."

"Once the skilled workers become proficient, the production capacity can be increased."

Zhang Wanhe replied.

"it is good!"

The person in charge of the economic development plan of the base area was immediately overjoyed:

"Yeah."

"This time we have solved the biggest problem in the base area."

Although the situation of Jinan currency has been stabilized by relying on silver dollars, and food prices have been stabilized by relying on sufficient food, the growth of commodities in the base area is still uncontrollable.

The reason is that as people's wallets become richer, there are not enough products on the market.

Once you have money and have enough to eat, there are not many things you can buy. If demand exceeds supply, prices will naturally rise. This is the simplest and simplest economic law.

The base area has been importing goods from outside, but the effect is very poor.

Now the problem has finally been greatly solved.

500,000 sets of summer clothes and 250,000 sets of winter clothes every day not only meet the clothing demand in the base area, but can also be exported in large quantities.

"Organize the supply of raw materials immediately."

said the person in charge of the economic development plan of the base area.

Although Li Yunlong could obtain cotton, the quantity was seriously insufficient, not to mention the cotton, linen, and dyes required by the factory. These were either imported from the outside world, or they could find ways to produce them themselves based on the local area.

It can also promote the economic development of the base area. (End of chapter)
