"Dad, we are just going to clean up the Eighth Route Independent Group. I'm afraid we won't win, right? After all, Chen Long is also the Eighth Route Army. If we don't know how to tell him, it will make it look ugly in the future!" Xu Youjin, known as the "Jade-faced Dragon", has gained weight recently.

He has a chubby waist and a beer belly. The flesh is protruding from both faces, and his face has turned into a square face. You can tell at a glance that this kid is doing well in business and living a good life.

Feeling comfortable, he has developed from a young boy to a middle-aged uncle. However, this boy still knows the importance. At least he knows that his wealth is inseparable from the care of brother Chen Long in the mountains. If not, I will solemnly mention it to his father.

A mouthful.

"Well, that's the truth. We can't make it difficult for Chen Long!" My son is so sensible, so of course I am happy to support him. Now the old Xu family is in great trouble: not to mention smuggling money from guarding a Yellow River dock, but selling on a consignment basis

The products produced in the mountains are also very profitable. Several factories that Chen Long cooperates with operate 24 hours a day, producing dry noodles, cigarettes, liquor, etc. Even the Japanese army couldn't put it down, Xiao Jin even

It was also sold to several units of the Japanese army.

The prosperous business has brought rolling silver. With money, anything can be done easily. No, the Xujia Wharf has doubled its site and has poured three concrete structures that can withstand 15 liters of water.

The bombardment of heavy artillery was even more impressive on the water. Five small steamers were added in one go. Two of the 80-ton boats were small gunboats with cannons, and the three 20-ton boats were also equipped with front and rear machine guns. As for the troops,

, various types of weapons have increased, and the firepower output of a single unit has nearly doubled. With such confidence, he dared to dominate this side; he also dared to obey the Japanese orders and ignore them.

But the more this happens, the more the old Xu family and his son are afraid of the mountains: they have made a lot of money, but compared to the one in the mountains, it is definitely three to five times the profit! Others don't know, he always

The Xu family often interacts with each other. Take a look at the soldiers who come and go to escort the guards. They are equipped with fancy machines, small cannons, and machine guns almost to the squad level.

Observation from time to time shows that for a team like this, Chen Long has at least 30,000 guns and a strong army of 30,000! God, it’s a trivial matter to seize Heyuan County and Huaiqing Prefecture (Qinyang)! And it’s still a big deal!

At least, Xiao Jin said that Chen Long took advantage of the famine to take in nearly a million people. This guy planned to become the king of the mountain!

Let’s take a look at the products he produces in the mountains, ranging from human-powered threshing machines and bicycles to fast food noodles, tobacco, wine and tea. What’s more, this guy also mines, smelts iron, and secretly produces weapons and ammunition himself. He’s just old.

The various bullet casings and artillery shells the Xu family has purchased for him in the past few years are probably worth tens of millions. This guy has a rich background! By the way, the cement and concrete they own are produced in the mountains, and the five they purchased are

Except for the motor, which was bought by someone from Shanghai, the rest of the accessories were tinkered in the mountains. The 20mm cannon and the heavy machine gun were all new and made by themselves!

I can't afford it, I can't afford it!

"Son, the Eighth-Road Independent Group has just arrived here, so we shouldn't say anything to Chen Long first. When the man surnamed Yang takes actual actions and harms the interests of our family, we will teach him a lesson.

He will inform Chen Long again." Xu Mazi rolled his triangular eyes and said to his son, which can be regarded as vague Chen Long in his heart, "Remember, we won't fire the first shot. But we can use the knife or the stick to stimulate.

Let's take action against the Eighth Route Army! As long as the Eighth Route Army is unreasonable first, we will have an easy time talking to Chen Long. Right?!"

"Dad, aren't we... too frustrated?" Xu Youjin scratched his head, feeling a little disappointed.

"Silly, what do you mean by being frustrated? This is what we call harmony to make money!" Xu Mazi patted his son and comforted him: "Chen Long is your brother. I can't bear it, so I want to make a fortune with my family. We can do something for you."

Did you offend him over a trivial matter?! If nothing else, if they don’t supply you, you can calculate how much you will lose in a year? The taxes collected by the entire Xidao Town are not even worth your monthly profits! This is what you are doing

You are giving face to the God of Wealth, why are you feeling aggrieved!"

Xiaoguzhuang

Xiao Niluo and Hua Nilu each led a platoon into the village from the east and west ends.

"Bang, bang -, the tax has been collected, the summer wheat tax, every household should take the time to pay it." The two groups of people beat gongs and drums, and drove the carriage to the main hall at the entrance of the ancestral hall in the center of Zhuangzi. On the carriage, carrying

The accountant with a big abacus was holding a pipe, very leisurely.

After the summer harvest every year, the Xu family has to arrange for each village and household to collect summer wheat taxes. After taking into account the amount turned over to the county government to feed the Japanese, the Xu family can also have a considerable surplus. This is still for their own fields.

On behalf of the levy. As for the tenants of the Xu family, they have to hand over the bulk. Between two generations of the old Xu family, at least 30% of the land in Xidao Town is on his family's account. In fact, this season's output

It's quite a lot. It's just that compared to Xu Youjin's business, it's a little less interesting.

A group of people gathered in the big place outside the ancestral hall, but there was no queue to pay the rent like in previous years. It was almost noon when the collector came to collect the rent and brought a jaw-dropping answer.

"What is this? A tax note from the Eighth Route Army? Can this cover the rent tax of my old Xu family? Impossible!" Xiao Niluo stared at it for a long time before asking the accountant to understand the note produced by the tenants in the village. The tax rate is one for ten.

A low-tax point, defrauding the villagers into paying taxes, and even daring to issue tax receipts loudly and stamped with a dazzling red seal - what the fuck is this about slapping the old Xu family in the face? In the past, the tax was 30%.

, the tax on tenants is more than 50%, how dare you deceive the Eighth Route Army into collecting 10%? Even giving 10% to the Japanese is not enough! Oh, you Eighth Route Army are trying to steal food from the tiger's mouth?!

"Who the hell asked you to pay the taxes to the Eighth Route Army? This is none of Mr. Xu's business. You can find the Eighth Route Army and ask for it yourself. The tax you should pay will not be less, so you should weigh it yourself!" Xiao Ni

A few people changed their expressions and began to lead people from house to house to ask for rent and taxes.

For a time, under the threat of Xu's army's sticks and machetes, timid farmers had to pay taxes again. As a result, no one could accept the taxes collected by the Eighth Route Independent Regiment. Children cried, women made troubles, and behaved violently.

They rolled around and made a fuss together to reach the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army Corps in the village.

"Stop! Who asked you to lead people to rob food? Are you going to let the common people live?" In front of the ancestral hall, a company of the Eighth Route Army surrounded them. The instructor leading the team was very angry, pointed at Xiao Niluo and cursed:

"Ah, you are the maintenance committee that collects taxes from the Japanese devils, right? The old Xu family are outright traitors! Then it's settled. All tenant rents and traitor assets will be confiscated! Come on, I'll keep them all!

"The eloquent instructor waved his hand, and the Eighth Route Army soldiers stepped forward one after another to snatch the cart.

"Who the hell dares to move? Don't you want to live anymore?" Xiaoniluo and Huaniluo looked at each other, nodded secretly, and shouted: "Brothers, the eight directions are robbing food, everyone take action! Go to your mother--

—" With a slap of the stick, Xiao Niluo knocked the eloquent instructor to the ground.
