But he had just driven the car not far when he stopped and looked at the newsboy not far away. Although an orphanage had been established, there were still many children who were unwilling to go to the orphanage.
After all, they are all in their teens and don't like to be controlled.
When he reached the intersection, Zhang Tianhao waved to the little tiger not far away.
Xiaohu immediately ran over, holding a newspaper and whispered: "Brother, what's the matter?"
"These are two photos. You can ask all the little brothers to see this car and where this person went. If you know anything about it, you can give me 50 cents, you know?"
As he said that, he handed over the five dollars directly, and at the same time took a newspaper and whispered: "Don't let anyone know that I asked, okay?"
"Brother, don't worry, as long as you are in Beiping City, they will definitely know."
The newsboys seemed very ordinary and did not attract anyone's attention, but Zhang Tianhao knew that they were located in many places throughout Beiping City. Generally speaking, they were the most well-informed when looking for someone.
"If you find it, call me!"
Zhang Tianhao gave out a string of phone numbers. This was a restaurant shop. He was going to go and sit there. After all, it was his property. He went to check it out. It was pretty good.
…
In the south of the city, at Ping'an Warehouse, Ye Hedong and others were stunned when they saw Zhang Tianhao's arrival. They immediately laughed and walked over and said, "Master! Why do you have time to come here today to take a look!"
Since the last time Zhang Tianhao chose a daughter-in-law for each of them, they thought that they were Zhang Tianhao's servants, so they directly changed their words and called Zhang Tianhao the young master.
"Hedong, we don't need to be so polite. Really, I haven't done anything to help you!"
"Master, it's okay. If it weren't for you, we would all have starved to death on the streets. It would be like having a family and a wife now. Everything now is given by the master."
"Okay, I can't help you. How's the business going these two days?"
"It's the same as usual. After all, it's more troublesome to check now, but almost all of them were evacuated the day before yesterday. At most, there are only a few policemen left, and we have shipped more goods."
"In addition, since we have the identity of Lixingshe, the police did not make things difficult for us, so the shipment volume has also increased a lot, and many gangs also know our identity, and with the identity of Lixingshe, they give us some face. Now
He won’t get into trouble with us over trivial matters.”
Ye Hedong also explained the situation. The current situation is much better than before. After all, having an identity and not having one are obviously different.
"That's good, that's good. Let's start the business now. Even if we encounter transportation problems, we can directly contact Qian Jun and use the power of our Party Affairs Office to import and export goods. Not many people dare to deny face to the two companies.
"Zhang Tianhao smiled, and then he understood some of the situation again, and he felt relieved.
"By the way, how much commonly used salt, cloth and other things have been collected now?"
"Master, we haven't collected much, less than a ton of salt, just over thirty pieces of cloth, and other bits and pieces, which are not many. After all, the inspection has been tight during this period. If we have more of these materials,
, it is likely to cause some trouble, and it seems that some of your people are specifically watching our area."
"Well, does Qian Jun know about this?"
"Yes, but he knew it was collected by the young master, so he didn't ask any more questions!"
"Well, let's do this. Find a place to transport salt and the like into the city and store it. Apart from one or two brothers, let outsiders know that this is our future strategic material. In addition, send these cloths to the dyeing room.
Go, after all, these are coarse cloths, dye them all in yellow and green colors, and then make them into military uniforms, prepare at least a thousand sets."
"Master, this is almost an ordinary regimental uniform. How long does it take to make it?"
"Okay, don't ask any more questions, just do as you are told. After it is dyed, it will be taken back. Then I am going to build a quilt chief, but it will be built in your name. Then I will recruit some female workers for training.
After all, there are many clever women outside the city."
"Master, you are really a living Bodhisattva. If this quilt factory is to be built, I don't know how many people will live." Ye Hedong understood immediately after hearing this.
"Work hard and collect some cloths during this time. We all need coarse cloths, which are strong and durable."
Now he must make full use of the period before the war to collect supplies. If all the supplies are not collected now, it will be too late by the time the war starts.
Clothes, salt, cloth, and all kinds of necessary supplies.
He will put all the supplies away after preparation and will not let outsiders know, and he does not need to let outsiders know.
…
Outside Blackstone Town, Ning Tao took an official document and arrived outside Blackstone Town. At this time, an army of approximately two companies marched directly into Blackstone Town.
"Fellow military lords, I wonder who you are?"
The mayor of Blackstone Town looked at the incoming army of nearly two hundred people, all dressed in military uniforms, and each one carrying a gun.
"It turns out to be the mayor of Blackstone Town. We are the security camp of Blackstone Town. This is an official document. It was ordered by the magistrate of Laiyuan County. We were ordered to garrison while encircling and suppressing the bandits in Feihu Ridge and Blackstone Ridge. I hope you can cooperate.
From now on, we will take Blackstone Town as the center to protect the safety of the people in Blackstone Town."
Ning Tao took out the official document and said loudly: "Also, in the future, when our troops are stationed here, the food will be provided by Blackstone Town. As for the rest, the mayor does not need to care."
"We in Blackstone Town are responsible for the food. Sir, look at how poor our town is. How can we be responsible for the food? We don't even have enough to eat here. Isn't this making things difficult for us?"
"No, this matter is not negotiable, but for food, we will give a certain amount of compensation according to a certain amount. After all, we are the army, not bandits. Also, please ask the mayor to demarcate a certain territory for us.
Military training, starting today, we will take over the security of the entire Blackstone Town."
"ah……"
The mayor was surprised when he saw Ning Tao wave his hand, and then two squads came out and started heading towards the four gates of the town to take over the defense.
"By the way, it's useless for you to find the county magistrate. We were sent by Shangfeng to deal with the guerrillas here. I hope you know that if there is an accident, you will know the consequences."
"Eradicate?"
"good!"
When the mayor of Blackstone Town heard this, he immediately understood that every year some troops came over to suppress bandits, and many times it was just a formality.
But when I got here, I just ate and drank a lot and left after a few days.
"Okay, okay, then I'll trouble you, sirs."
But he didn't expect that this army would be stationed here for more than two years. It was not what they thought at all. They left after eating and drinking.
Soon, a compound was vacated as the battalion headquarters. Ning Tao immediately held a meeting with several people and began to discuss the next strategic steps. After all, there are still many things to do next. First, he must familiarize himself with the terrain, and then for Feihu Ridge and other places.
They encircled and suppressed the bandits, expanded the number of troops, and recruited troops. Their own army had always been expanding, and this was the strategy Zhang Tianhao formulated for them.
