In the face of a major disaster, the Chinese people are united.
Even bandits can put aside their prejudices and hatred and hope that Henan can survive the famine.
At this time, in Chongqing, the Japanese special organizations were eliminated one after another, entering a rare, but certainly short-lived period of peace.
In addition to continuing to ensure the safety of the capital, the military commander has also added the task of assisting the military and police to ensure public security in Chongqing.
This kind of peaceful and relatively comfortable life has not happened for a long time.
Meng Shaoyuan and Li Zhifeng sent Yin Peiya and her daughter to the airport early in the morning.
He did not go in, but asked Ding Wenrui to take their mother and daughter in.
Meng Shaoyuan always remembered Ma Xuecheng's milky voice and asked him:
"Godfather, when will your brothers and sisters come to see me?"
"Soon, I promise, soon."
Meng Shaoyuan solemnly made his promise.
He saw that Arau was already waiting in front of the plane.
After receiving Yin Peiya's mother and daughter, Alao waved gently toward the outside of the airport.
He couldn't see it, but he knew that his master must be staring at him there.
Goodbye, master.
Take care, master.
I look forward to continuing to serve you, Master!
This is a plane bound for India, experiencing the "hump route" of death.
Not many passengers had the guts to take this route at the time.
But the amazing thing is that even though planes kept having accidents while transporting supplies, the ground was filled with plane wreckage.
However, once passengers are transported, the chance of an aircraft accident is very small.
Probably no one can explain this wonderful phenomenon.
Meng Shaoyuan waited until the plane took off before leaving the airport.
Alao, Yin Peiya, Ma Xueheng, this is the first batch.
In the future, more things like this will happen.
"Sir, where are you going?"
"I just received a report that the whole of Sichuan is providing disaster relief. The price of rice in Sichuan is already high, and the legal currency has been falling all the way. This time to provide relief to Henan, there will be a huge vacancy in food, and food prices will definitely skyrocket again. Some unscrupulous traders have already started Stock up on supplies.”
Meng Shaoyuan said solemnly: "The national government has strictly ordered the Food Office to severely punish hoarders, but those profiteers still turned a deaf ear. According to the commission's order, the Military Command, the Ministry of Food, the Military Police, and the Judicial Yuan jointly launched an investigation into these hoarders. Our main task is to assist !”
Food prices are already too high.
According to the price limit of rice stipulated by the government, the upper rice is 880 yuan per metric meter, the middle rice is 800 yuan, and the lower rice is 720 yuan.
Then you can’t buy this kind of rice at a limited price in the market.
The prices sold by rice merchants are 1,040 yuan per metric meter for upper rice, 900 yuan for middle rice, and 880 yuan for lower rice.
The price of rice will be the same as the price of rice stipulated by the government!
More importantly, as news of the disaster in Henan spread, profiteers quickly sensed the business opportunities.
They knew that the military rations originally used for the war were already stretched thin, and now they had to provide relief to Henan Province, so there was bound to be a big shortage of food.
Here’s your chance to stock up on a large scale!
With rice priced at 880 yuan, the market has become nervous.
"Isn't the government allocating so much grain to the market every day?" Ding Wenrui was a little puzzled: "Isn't the supply still insufficient?"
Meng Shaoyuan did not answer, but Li Zhifeng helped and said: "How can that little rice be enough? The government's strategy has always been to put the military first and then the people. Everything is prioritized on the front line. The food put on the market is limited.
What's even more hateful is that even this small amount of food has been targeted by those profiteers. They employ a large number of people, and every day when they start selling, the food will be snapped up by these people. "
"Some time ago, I, the cook of Meng Mansion, saw something with my own eyes." Meng Shaoyuan said: "A man queued up all night to buy cheap food and was at the front. But he was just about to start selling. , a group of people squeezed him out.
The man wanted to argue with them, but he was beaten up by a few gangsters who had already ambushed him. The man struggled to get up from the ground for a long time. When he saw that there was not a grain of food left in a moment, the seven-foot-long man squatted on the ground and cried loudly. "
Ding Wenrui had been in the army before, and he was in the 200th Division, the most elite ace division.
He never had to worry about food and clothing.
When he arrived in Chongqing, he was attracted by Meng Shaoyuan and joined the military command. He also had no worries about food and clothing.
After hearing this, I couldn't help but ask: "The government doesn't care? This is the capital!"
"This is the capital!" Meng Shaoyuan continued his tone and said: "How many officials are there here? If a leaf hits a pedestrian, the official may be bigger than us. Those profiteers, do you think they only represent the interests of businessmen? Do you think there is no one behind them? The power behind them is huge!
Some time ago, when grain prices were stabilized, a major corruption case was suppressed, but only a few crawlers were used as scapegoats. None of the real masterminds behind the scenes were fine. There is no way to investigate. If the investigation continues, I don’t know how many senior officials will be implicated. No one can bear this responsibility, so everyone can just turn a blind eye. After doing this, those profiteers became even more emboldened.
The Qiu family, a giant businessman in Sichuan, have my support behind them, but so what? During the holidays, there should be no lack of filial piety. Do you know how much of the money earned went into the pockets of those officials? If you don't do this, even the Qiu family will make it impossible for you to make a deal in a matter of minutes. If they want you to die, it will be easier than crushing an ant! "
Speaking of this, Meng Shaoyuan smiled bitterly: "The government also wants to crack down on these profiteers who hoard goods. The sales time is different every time. The problem is that it is magical. No matter how the time changes, the profiteers can always know the accurate time. They Is it a clairvoyant or a person with great supernatural powers?"
Ding Wenrui was silent.
But after a while, he asked with some reluctance: "Sir, you are truly powerful, and we are in command of the military. Isn't there nothing you can do?"
"You are right about what you said. I am a military commander." Meng Shaoyuan's voice was filled with bitterness: "In my one-third of an acre of land, I can do whatever I want. Once the Japanese special case is involved, I will kill everyone." Anyone who dares to investigate can do so. Mr. Dai will support me, and the Chairman can also support me. I am not afraid of anyone!
However, it will be completely different if it goes beyond my sphere of influence. Our military commander was ordered to assist in the investigation of profiteers hoarding goods. How to investigate? Check, it’s too easy. What should I do if I find it? Do we dare to touch the Ministry of Food, or some other government agency with real power? If it really moves, it will arouse public outrage. "
"What? Provoke public outrage?" Ding Wenrui was confused.
"Don't you understand? Because we touched someone else's big cake!" Meng Shaoyuan's voice was slightly louder: "You touched someone else's cake and cut off other people's money. They will fight with your life."
"Then we are just decoration?"
"Decoration? Who dares to use our military commander as a decoration? I don't dare to do it openly. Don't I know how to use traps in secret?" Meng Shaoyuan said with a sneer.
