Fengxian Jiangshan

"Zhang, is this the replacement food you prepared?"

At this time, Fred opened a bag of aged grains prepared by Zhang Tinglan and the others. It contained moldy and spoiled grains, which exuded a pungent smell, and there were a lot of stones, grass sticks and other sundries mixed in. There is a lot of rat droppings, basically things that even livestock don't eat.

Zhang Zuoxiang and Sun Liechen were still a little bit sorry. They got all these spoiled grains from warehouses and some big households. Due to the rush of time, all the rags were used to make up for it.

"Mr. Fred, next time we will get some slightly better food, don't worry!"

Sun Liechen explained to Fred with a little apology, but Fred shook his head, "Brigade Commander Sun, you misunderstood, I don't think you need to prepare so much food. You should know what the animals eat, right? It is enough for those gray animals to prepare fodder!"

Fred's words were too clear. He was telling Sun Liechen that they could use what the animals ate as food next time, and they didn't need these valuable things at all.

This world is too crazy!Sun Liechen even doubted his own ears. He thought he was dark enough, but he didn't expect this foreigner to be even darker than himself. This is really like a mountain is higher than a mountain.

It's lucky that he can figure out how to feed the frontline soldiers, isn't he afraid of causing mutiny?Besides, Zhang Tinglan who was on the side was not surprised at all. These Jewish bankers only had interests in their eyes, and they would do whatever they wanted to make money, so this kind of thing was completely expected.

"Mr. Fred, you are getting bolder. Is there any good news?"

"Zhang, I can't hide anything from you. You are what the Chinese call a little fox. The Tsar's nephew just took over the power in the Far East. In the eyes of that guy, he only cares about money and women. He doesn't care about anything else. He is in the Far East. One day, things will go smoothly for us!"

Sun Liechen couldn't help interjecting when he heard this: "There is a big problem with the military supplies, won't the Russian government investigate it?"

"This kind of thing will never happen. There are many uprisings in Russia, there are also peasants making troubles, and the leftist forces continue to launch strikes. In such a chaotic country, military supplies will definitely be robbed, taken away by the mob, and burned by the fire Burned, consumed along the way, there are too many ways to make the food disappear!" Fred shrugged indifferently.

Now Sun Liechen is completely convinced, not only is China so chaotic, Russia is also the same.Moreover, these Russians seem to be crazier than the Chinese in doing things. Even the military supplies are so casual.

Zhang Tinglan suddenly rolled his eyes and thought of a good idea: "Since Russia is at war, there must be a shortage of supplies, right?"

What a keen guy Fred is, when he heard Zhang Tinglan's words, he immediately thought of what he meant, and was also ecstatic, "Zhang, do you think we should smuggle to Russia?"

"Why not?"

"Then what do you think is better?"

Zhang Tinglan thought for a while, and then said, "I think it's just alcohol and tobacco. There are so many alcoholics in Russia that it's unparalleled in the world. As for tobacco, it's a huge profit industry. What do you think?"

Fred smiled, "Zhang, you are a genius. I think you will become the richest man in China if you are determined to do business!"

The two foxes, one big and one small, negotiated another deal in the blink of an eye. Sun Liechen and Zhang Zuoxiang didn't know what to say. It turned out that opportunities to make money abounded. The key was to see if they had the vision and courage. Of course, you have to be ruthless at critical moments.

At this time, the soldiers had already packed the food, and Zhang Tinglan and others quietly left Wenguantun. After the flour was transported back, Lao Zhang had been waiting for a long time. This is the future way of money for the 27th Division. When there are bags of high-quality flour, there are smiles in his eyes.

"Seventh Lord, I have an idea. This time we got 150 tons, which is 30 catties. We can't sell so much white flour for a while. Can we distribute five catties of white flour to each soldier so that everyone can Eating a meal of dumplings is also considered the welfare of our 27th division!"

Old Zhang glanced at Zhang Tinglan thoughtfully, and he guessed what Zhang Tinglan meant. The disturbance in the 53rd Brigade this time proved that Old Zhang's control over the army was not strong enough. The white face at this time was undoubtedly helping Old Zhang win back the morale of the army. .Soldiers these days are also very simple, that is, whoever gives the money, hangs out with whoever, whoever makes his subordinates live well, listens to whoever!

Thinking of this, Lao Zhang also nodded in agreement, and he immediately ordered to set aside 1000 catties of white noodles. The next day, he distributed white noodles to all the soldiers, and at the same time took out [-] yuan to sell meat and buy vegetables for everyone.

The entire 27th Division was filled with joy. Being able to eat a meal of dumplings filled with meat is definitely a New Year’s enjoyment. Everyone who took a bite of the oily dumplings felt incomparably enjoyable. Knowing that he is grateful, the teacher still feels sorry for the big guy. He paid the salary and gave the dumplings to eat. Isn't he just compensating everyone, and there is nothing to complain about!

Chapter 10 Guarding Rights

The crisis of the 27th Division has mostly been resolved, but Zhang Tinglan's work is not over yet. After making the first deal with Fred, there will be a steady stream of supplies in the future. We must find a market for these supplies and turn them into white money. , can not be pressed in the hand.

Zhang Tinglan knew in his heart that he was just about to build the North Market, so he simply started looking for a suitable location now, but there were two little tails behind him, one was his second brother Zhang Tingshu, and the other was the future young marshal Zhang Xueliang.

Zhang Tinglan solved Lao Zhang's difficulties, not only helped Zhang Zuolin, but also let Lao Zhang see his talent, and Zhang Tinglan was about the same age as Zhang Xueliang. After the older generation retired, they had to rely on the younger generation to support each other .This friendship must be cultivated since childhood, so Lao Zhang ordered Zhang Xueliang to learn how to do things with Zhang Tinglan.

Zhang Xueliang is only 14 years old this year, but he has delicate features, tall stature, and looks like a handsome man in the future.Zhang Tinglan still has some opinions on this Young Marshal Zhang who ruined Fengjun and the Northeast.But he also knew that sitting in that position, at such a period, he actually didn't have much choice.Besides, if you want to hang out in Fengjun in the future, you must have a good relationship with this young commander.

Zhang Tinglan had his own calculations, while Zhang Xueliang looked at Zhang Tinglan with scrutiny. In Zhang Xueliang's previous impression, Zhang Tinglan was a nerd who didn't understand fun at all, and didn't mess around with them. He was a typical good baby.How he could make his father appreciate it so much, and let him learn how to do things with him, made him puzzled.

Zhang Tinglan knew that the initial location of Fengtian North Market was ten rooms near Huangsi, so they went directly out of Daxibian Gate and arrived at Huangsi after a short walk.

Fengtian's Huangsi was established by Huang Taiji after he conquered the various tribes of Mongolia. It was not only to buy the hearts of the Mongolian princes who believed in Lamaism, but also to show off their military exploits.

After hundreds of years of wind and rain, Huangsi has lost its original function and has become a lively market. Especially when it comes to temple fairs, vendors will gather here, bustling and lively.

"Brother Tinglan, we've been walking for a long time. Are you visiting a temple fair or doing business?" Zhang Xueliang was sweating profusely, and he was a little impatient. He, Young Master Zhang, was usually looking for fun all over the world. How could he? Run on the street to be exposed to the sun.

Zhang Tinglan pointed to a shop in front with a smile, and said, "Let's come here and have a look."

Liu Shucheng, the owner of Sihai Grain Co., Ltd., was staring blankly at the rice in the store, and he couldn't help sighing.Footsteps sounded, and a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl walked over quickly with a tea tray.

"Father, you always have to pay attention to your health!"

"Hey, since your grandfather, we have been running a grain store here in Fengtian, and it's finally here today. Look at the facades of the seven stores in a row, they are all the painstaking efforts of your grandfather, but they have failed in my hands. I am not a prodigal. What is it!"

Liu Shucheng said here with a tinge of desolation in his tone, and his daughter Liu Xiu'e rolled her eyes and said suddenly: "Father, I have a classmate named Yu Fengzhi, and the son of Zhang Zuolin, the commander of her 27th division, has made a baby kiss. See if we can marry each other?" We can’t think of a way to persuade Zhang Zuolin and ask him to say a word for us!”

When Liu Shucheng heard his daughter's words, his heart was also moved. Zhang Zuolin held a heavy army, and he was definitely Fengtian's leading force.But Liu Shucheng shook his head again after thinking about it: "Girl, Zhang Zuolin was born as a bandit, let's not refuse the tiger at the front door and enter the wolf at the back door. If Zhang Zuolin eats us, the family business will really be over!"

While the father and daughter were talking, a young man ran over and hurriedly said, "Master, three young men came outside and said they want to buy a shop!"

When Liu Shucheng heard this, he got up and went out. These three people were naturally Zhang Tinglan and the others.Zhang Tinglan found out that this Four Seas Grain Store was for sale, the location was good, and the shop was big enough, which met the requirements, so she took the initiative to come over to have a look.

Liu Shucheng, the shopkeeper, was taken aback when he saw Zhang Tinglan and the three of them. The oldest of them was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he was just three young boys. Can they buy such a big food store?

"Shopkeeper Liu, do you doubt our sincerity?"

Zhang Tinglan broke Liu Shucheng's mind, he shook his head hastily: "This young master, you are a guest when you enter the door, how dare I neglect it, it's just such a big shop, and it is facing the imperial temple, the price must not be less than [-] oceans!"

Zhang Tinglan nodded slightly, "Shopkeeper Liu, the price is still fair, let's make paperwork now, and I'll buy it!"

Liu Shucheng never thought that Zhang Tinglan didn't even bargain, and he was taken aback for a moment. At this time, Zhang Tinglan took out a bank note from his pocket and patted it directly in front of Liu Shucheng, which cost a total of 1000 yuan.

Zhang Tinglan was so happy that Liu Shucheng was a little uncomfortable. He had to take a pen and paper to write a document, but he couldn't write a word. He felt uncomfortable selling his ancestral business to others easily. If you don't explain things clearly, you are suspected of deceiving young people.

Liu Shucheng asked with a wry smile: "Master, what are you planning to do when you want to buy this shop?"

"Of course they are selling food!"

Liu Shucheng shook his head: "I, Liu Shucheng, have been paying attention to integrity in business all my life. I can't cheat young people. My shop has been targeted by others. The Sanhe Food Co., Ltd. on the opposite side first ran on me with price, and then hired someone to arrest me. The purchase channel was cut off, and it forced me to death. All I know is that the owner behind Sanhe Liangxing is a Japanese named Miki, and the one who cut off my channel is also a Japanese wanderer. I advise you, this shop can be used for anything , just stop doing the grain business!" Speaking of this, Liu Shucheng's tone was filled with endless loneliness.

Japanese?Zhang Tinglan frowned suddenly. Since coming to this era, Zhang Tinglan has always put the Japanese in the position of the first imaginary enemy. Japan's idea of ​​attacking the three eastern provinces is not a day or two. There may be a huge conspiracy hidden.

Zhang Tinglan smiled at Liu Shucheng: "Mr. Liu, are the Japanese just looking at your store, or are they also paying attention to other stores? Is it just the grain store, or are there other stores?"

Liu Shucheng thought for a while and said, "My young master, to tell the truth, two or three large grain stores in Fengtian have been targeted. In addition to grain, there are Japanese involved in the coal store, cloth shop, and oil mill. This Fengtian The businessmen are not backed by the government, and the situation is getting more and more difficult!"

When Zhang Tinglan heard it, his heart skipped a beat. Hearing the meaning of these words, the actions of the Japanese were definitely organized and systematic, and what they wanted to control was probably the entire Fengtian market.

"Mr. Liu, do you know what the Japanese want to do by doing this?"

"I'm not sure." Liu Shucheng shook his head, and then he said: "I just heard that the Japanese transported all the things they collected from the three eastern provinces to Dalian and Tianjin, and then shipped them to the West together!"

Zhang Tinglan instantly understood the plan of the Japanese. It was a world war. The European powers had beaten people's heads into dog's heads. The consumption of supplies was astonishing. Most of the Japanese were earning profits from exports.

Throughout modern history, Japan is small and landless, with limited products.To be able to invade China, to a large extent, it depends on maintaining war by war, using China's products in exchange for profits, and then invading China in turn.Thinking of this, Zhang Tinglan clenched her fists, there is no such cheap deal in this world!
