County Magistrate Huang arranged accommodation for Xu Dalong, Zhang Shaoyun and others, and they were well entertained, and he went to find Yao Kaishan himself.
Early the next morning, County Magistrate Huang came over. Two people came with him. One of them was in his 40s, with a fat head and big ears. He was wearing a black satin dress and a huge hand. Ring, looks like a rich man. There was a young man in his 20s beside him. He looked quite handsome, but he made people feel very uncomfortable.
County Magistrate Huang introduced: "This is Yao Kaishan, the richest man in the county, and this is his son Yao Junming.
Seeing the people coming, Zhang Shaoyun felt a little unhappy. He was too lazy to deal with people like Yao Kaishan. He called the county magistrate over and just asked him to buy those mountains. There was no need to contact the original owners.
After listening to County Magistrate Huang's introduction, he just nodded towards Yao Kaishan and his son, and said directly to County Magistrate Huang: "County Magistrate Huang, have the land matter been discussed?"
County Magistrate Huang said with a smile: "Sir Zhang, the conversation is almost over. Yao Kaishan wants to come over and meet with the chief, hoping to talk face to face."
Zhang Shaoyun glared at County Magistrate Huang dissatisfied. County Magistrate Huang understood what he meant and had a helpless expression on his face.
Yao Kaishan asked: "This officer wants to buy the forest from my house. What does he want to do with it?"
Zhang Shaoyun said impatiently: "Why do you ask this? This is a military secret, not something you, a countryman, can inquire about."
Seeing Zhang Shaoyun's attitude, Yao Kaishan also showed displeasure on his face.
He said: "That mountain forest was handed down from my ancestors. The feng shui of my Yao family cannot be easily transferred."
Zhang Shaoyun became a little angry. He was too lazy to pay attention to Yao Kaishan and said directly to County Magistrate Huang: "County Magistrate Huang, what is going on? Are these barren mountains for sale or not?"
County Magistrate Huang glanced at Yao Kaishan and said to Zhang Shaoyun: "Sir, please take a step to speak."
Zhang Shaoyun didn't even raise Bigu, and said directly: "If you have anything to say, just say it."
County Magistrate Huang said in a pleading tone: "Sir Zhang, please give me a moment to speak."
Zhang Shaoyun snorted, stood up reluctantly, and walked outside.
Xu Dalong had been secretly observing Yao Kaishan and his son, and saw his son Yao Junming staring straight at Chu Yun'er as soon as he entered the house. His greedy look made Xu Dalong feel unhappy.
Seeing Yao Kaishan's greasy and crooked look, Xu Dalong's anger gradually increased. He already felt that things might not go as smoothly as he thought.
After a while, Zhang Shaoyun came back accompanied by County Magistrate Huang.
County Magistrate Huang said: "Mr. Yao, Chief Zhang has agreed to buy those mountains and forests at the price you mentioned."
It turned out that according to the local market price, the barren mountain was worth a total of 1,200 oceans. Yao Kaishan relied on his uncle's power and did not take Zhang Shaoyun seriously. He believed that he was a local snake and that the people who came to buy the forest were only backed by Adjutant Zhang, so he wanted to rip off a sum of money and directly offered 4,000 oceans.
Xu Dalong knew the commercial value of this forest and had already negotiated with Zhang Shaoyun in advance, willing to pay a little more to avoid the seller's back-breaking. The original plan was to pay 3,600 yuan, but Zhang Shaoyun agreed when he saw that the prices were about the same.
Yao Kaishan felt that he was very proud, smiled proudly, and said: "Then so be it."
Then everyone signed the contract, Xu Dalong paid the money, and the matter of the mining land was finalized.
Next, Xu Dalong stayed here with Chu Yun'er for half a month. In order to keep the secret secret, the Ninth War Zone sent an engineer company to carry out construction, and barbed wire fences were set up around the mining area. Chu Yunfei sent a guard platoon to serve as the mine protection team. Xu Dalong also left a squad of the special operations team and two radio stations, for fear that if one of the radio stations malfunctioned, communication would not be possible in time.
After finishing what should be done, Xu Dalong was about to leave, but Chu Yun'er was reluctant to leave. But she knew that Xu Dalong had big things to do, so she had to say goodbye to him in tears.
Monk Wei has been following Xu Dalong these days. He doesn't understand why Chu Yun'er is allowed to develop these barren mountains here.
Xu Dalong did not hide it from him, but told Monk Wei the main purpose of buying these barren mountains, and only asked him to keep it secret. He only told the commander and Zhang Wanhe about this matter, and the other person was Monk Wei. Even Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong and Xu Dalong didn't intend to let them know.
It's not that Xu Dalong can't trust Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong, but this matter involves too much and some things will be difficult to explain clearly in the future. This is also to protect Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang.
As for why Chu Yun'er was involved in this matter, it was because Xu Dalong felt a little guilty about Chu Yun'er. His heart was biased towards Lin Xueying, and he knew that he could not give Chu Yun'er a future. According to the direction of history, Chu Yunfei would take his family to Xiaowanwan in a few years, and Chu Yun'er would definitely follow. In the future, we will enter a peaceful era, and only those who have money can live comfortably.
Xu Dalong planned to use this incident to accumulate a huge amount of wealth for Chu Yun'er to ensure that she would have no worries about food and clothing and live a good life for the rest of her life.
Chu Yun'er didn't know Xu Dalong's thoughts. She was deeply passionate about Xu Dalong and she would do everything he did for Xu Dalong wholeheartedly.
After returning to the Mawushan base area, Xu Dalong said hello to Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang, then flew to the Taiyue Military Region Headquarters and reported the matter to the commander and Zhang Wanhe.
This gold mine was opened in Chu Yun'er's personal name, and Chu Yun'er also paid for the purchase of the mine. Chu Yun'er holds 60% of the gold mine's shares, and the officers of the Ninth War Zone hold 40%. Chu Yun'er will donate 40% of his personal income to the Eighth Route Army in his own name.
Regarding this matter, Xu Dalong thought very carefully. The entire operation process had nothing to do with the Eighth Route Army. The commander and Zhang Wanhe would not bear any responsibility, and they could gain great benefits from this.
The reason why Xu Dalong wanted to report to the commander and Zhang Wanhe was because their status was high enough and they would be able to protect Xu Dalong in the future and prevent anyone from making a fuss about this matter.
Both the commander and Zhang Wange expressed satisfaction.
Xu Dalong returned to the Mawushan Military Division. Before Bigu could sit down, Zhao Gang came over and asked him for money.
Xu Dalong brought back a total of 380,000 yuan this time, and Zhao Gang was a little dissatisfied with this. He has already calculated an account. The last time Xu Dalong went out, he lost a total of 70,000 yuan. This time, he spent 200,000 yuan on all aspects of his trip. After Xu Dalong worked for so long, he only made less than 100,000 yuan. Far lower than Zhao Gang's expectations.
He said half-jokingly and half-complaining: "Captain, why is your earning power going back further and further? It shouldn't be."
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "I just came back from Commander and Minister Zhang. The two chiefs have agreed that from now on, in the next one year, we will not have to hand over the seizures of our Mawushan Military Division, especially in terms of funds. .Is this okay?"
2200
Zhao Gang became happy when he heard this. You must know that the funds handed over by the Mawushan Military Division every year are a huge amount. If you don't have to hand them over, you will save a lot of money.
He smiled and said: "That's about right. However, Captain, since there is such good news, we have to find ways to make more money this year and save more wealth for our base."
Xu Dalong smiled and agreed.
After leaving Xu Dalong's residence, Zhao Gang went to find Li Yunlong and told him the good news.
Zhao Gang said: "Lao Li, all the funds seized in the next year will belong to us. We must not let go of this opportunity."
Li Yunlong was also very happy. He was a man who could make a fortune and had a bandit style. Compared with other Eighth Route Army troops, the troops he led were much better than them in plundering the Japanese and puppet finances. Every time I went out to seize the Japanese property, I had to hand it over to my superiors when I came back. Originally, the money was already in my pocket, and I still had to hand it over. This was a very uncomfortable feeling.
After listening to Zhao Gang's words, Li Yunlong became excited and said: "Brother Dalong has just come back. Let him rest for two days. Then we will think about where to go to fight and make another windfall."
Guanglong County.
Yao Kaishan made a fortune from those mountains and forests. He was very happy, but also a little dissatisfied. He believes that although those mountains and forests have been sold, they are still on his own territory, and there will definitely be opportunities to knock down buyers again in the future.
Therefore, he has been sending people to keep an eye on the mountain forest, trying to see what these people want to do when they come to this remote barren mountain. After he understands the purpose of these people, he will find a way to blackmail them.
The reason why Yao Kaishan has such confidence is that he is a rich man himself and has great influence in the local area. In addition to his uncle being the second-in-command of SC Province, he also has the background of Brother Pao. Brother Pao is very powerful in Sichuan, Hunan and Hubei, and even the government has to give them face.
Yao Junming has never seen such a beautiful and good-tempered young woman as Chu Yun'er. Ever since he met her, his mind has been filled with her image.
He begged Yao Kaishan to help him get Chu Yun'er.
Yao Kaishan was also a little unclear about the background of Yun'er and others, so he comforted Yao Junming and told him to wait a little longer until he figured out the purpose of these people coming here and their background. He must help Yao Junming get Chu Yun'er.
On this day, the people sent to monitor the situation in the mountain forest came back and said that a barbed wire fence had been built in the mountain forest, and soldiers from the Guo Army were working inside.
Hearing this, Yao Kaishan felt a chill in his heart, feeling that the backgrounds of these people were not simple.
Yao Junming's face was full of frustration, but now he was lovesick, crying and asking his father to help.
Yao Kaishan was helpless and decided to go to Chongqing himself to find his uncle to find out the background of Chu Yun'er and others.
Ever since the 723kg giant bomb was used at Xiangyang Airport, Xu Dalong has tasted the benefits. He decided to improve these bombs to increase their lethality.
On this day, Zhao Gang accompanied Xu Dalong to the arsenal, and Xu Dalong proposed the idea of improving aerial bombs and increasing their lethality.
The engineers at the factory were a little confused, because they had already tried their best when developing the giant bomb. It could be said that this bomb had already achieved its maximum killing effect. They didn't understand how Xu Dalong could make improvements.
Xu Dalong proposed the idea of adding thermite to the warhead. After these raw materials are added to the aerial bomb, a thermobaric bomb is formed, which not only can generate a high temperature of thousands of degrees, but also can suffocate people because the thermite can extract the surrounding oxygen when it burns. The power of such a bomb after exploding can be several times or even ten times greater than that of ordinary bombs.
Xu Dalong had a lot of relevant information, so he provided it for the engineers to develop.
In the radio research institute of the arsenal, engineers are developing radio walkie-talkies based on the drawings provided by Xu Dalong. This kind of walkie-talkies is much more convenient than radio stations in short-distance communication. It is very suitable for troops to communicate on the battlefield and can Improve the commander's command effectiveness.
At this time, the prototype had been produced, and the engineers tested it in front of Zhao Gang and Xu Dalong, and the results were very good. The signal can be received within a range of 5 kilometers on flat ground, and the communication distance can also be two kilometers in the mountains and forests.
Both Xu Dalong and Zhao Gang expressed satisfaction and asked them to set up a production line for mass production.
The leader of the arsenal said that there were no technical problems, but the raw materials still needed help from the head of the military division. Xu Dalong promised to raise raw materials for the arsenal as soon as possible.
After returning to the headquarters of the military division, Zhao Gang took the list of raw materials provided by the arsenal and sent a telegram to Zhou Mingde in Taiyuan City, asking him to investigate the relevant situation of these raw materials and distribute them while ensuring safety. Purchase in batches.
That morning, Zhao Gang sent someone to notify Xu Dalong, Li Yunlong, Zhang Dabiao and others to come to the headquarters conference room for a meeting.
Everyone came to the conference room one after another. Everyone thought that Zhao Gang was going to discuss things about Zheng Zhi's work. Li Yunlong said directly: "Old Zhao, you can make the decision on your matters. If you need us to cooperate, just tell us. There is no need to discuss. ”
Even Xu Dalong, Zhang Dabiao and others thought it was a problem in this regard, and they nodded in agreement.
Zhao Gang said: "It's not about Zheng Zhi's work. Our arsenal now needs to produce new aerial bombs and radio communication equipment, which requires a lot of raw materials.
These things have to be done outside. I saw you guys sitting idle in the base area all day with nothing to do, and I was worried that you might get sick, so I wanted to find you some work. "
Li Yunlong smiled and said: "Old Zhao, we, Old Li, like to hear this. I am thinking about where we can go out to fight and grab some things from the Japanese puppets. I don't know much about what I want, so just tell me. Where are these things? Let’s just go over there, knock them down, and snatch the things back. Wouldn’t that be the end of it?”
