Porn, gambling, and drugs are the fastest-growing businesses at any time.

If Wang Chengzhu were here, he would definitely express such emotion.

Qu Changshou glanced at Li Yunlong who was standing aside, and then said: "Although the Xia family's business is far inferior to that of the Qin family, Tang family, and Ding family, I think the Xia family's property must be your favorite, Captain Li."

Li Yunlong spoke sternly: "Captain Qu, please pay attention to your words. Our Eighth Route Army has its own disciplines. The purpose of liberating Pingding County is definitely not to rob homes and homes, but to save the people who are suffering here."

Also, my patience is limited, so don’t show off to me.”

Qu Changshou originally wanted to flatter Li Yunlong, but he didn't expect to slap him on the horse's hoof. He immediately admitted his mistake with a smile and said: "Yes, yes, Captain Li, what you are teaching is that the current head of the Xia family is named Xia Hongtao.

The Xia family is engaged in the salt and grain business and almost monopolizes most of Shanxi's salt and grain production."

"The price of salt and grain in Shanxi and whether it will rise or not depends almost entirely on the Xia family's attitude.

In recent years, the Xia family has made a lot of money by relying on its monopoly and maliciously raising the prices of salt and grain, and has also killed many poor people.

Therefore, Commander Li, if you want to punish the local tyrants and evil gentry in Pingding County, of course the Xia family will be on the list."

After a pause, Qu Changshou changed the topic and continued: "Moreover, the Xia family seems to have known in advance that a war would break out in the southeastern Shanxi region, so they stocked up a large amount of food and salt in advance.

The irony is that although the Xia family expected that fighting would break out in the southeastern Shanxi region, they never expected that your Eighth Route Army could capture and pacify the county town.

In addition, Pingding County is the home base of the Xia family, so the salt and grain stored by the Xia family are basically in Pingding County.

Although I don't know how much salt and food the Xia family has hoarded, Xia Hongtao accidentally let out some news during a meal two days ago. I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional.

Their Xia family's granary contains at least a hundred tons of wheat and flour alone.

This is why I said, Commander Li, you must like the Xia family's property the most."

Hearing this, even with Li Yunlong's determination, he couldn't help but be surprised.

There are over a hundred tons of wheat and flour alone!

The most important thing is that these wheat and flour belong to bad businessmen, not serious businessmen. Li Yunlong will not feel any burden when taking them!

Although Li Yunlong has never been to school and does not know a lot of Chinese characters, for a profiteer, numbers are definitely what he is most familiar with.

One ton is equal to 1,000 kilograms, which is 2,000 kilograms. 100 tons is equal to 200,000 kilograms.

If 200,000 kilograms of wheat is eaten open, Li Yunlong's new batch can be eaten for at least a month.

This number may not sound like much, but for Xinyi Tuan, who often suffers from hunger and needs to eat rice bran, 200,000 kilograms of wheat is definitely enough to feed them for three to five months.

Even if Li Yunlong's new regiment has a total strength of several thousand people!

And so much wheat was definitely something Li Yunlong had never seen before!

Not only Li Yunlong, Cheng Xiazi, Xu Shengji, Chen Lian and others also looked shocked when they heard this.

Then came the ecstasy again.

At least 200,000 kilograms of wheat. Li Yunlong knew what this meant, and they also knew what this meant.

If you want to ask what the Eighth Route Army lacks most, if weapons and equipment are ranked first, then food can definitely be ranked second!

Why the Eighth Route Army was far from a match for the Japanese soldiers when they fought with bayonets? In addition to lack of training, another more important reason was that their nutrition could not keep up.

As the saying goes, if you can defeat ten enemies with one force, if you don't have enough to eat, how can you have the strength to fight with the Japanese with bayonets?

Li Yunlong's pirate ship was on the right track this time, even though they had been tricked several times by Li Yunlong before.

Even though they knew clearly that Li Yunlong said he was bringing them to pacify the county to make a fortune, but in fact he wanted them to take the blame together.

As the saying goes, the law does not punish the masses. If Li Yunlong was the only one who disobeyed military orders and attacked Pingding County, he might be severely punished by the brigade commander.

But if the punishment is divided among the four of them, it will undoubtedly be much smaller.

Even after seeing so many trophies, the brigade commander and division commander might not punish them.

Originally, they had some regrets and tangles before, whether they should follow Li Yunlong and disobey his orders when they fell to the ground.

But now, after learning that there is so much money and food in Pingding County, they are willing to accept no matter how severe the punishment is.

Now during the war, the 129th Division is in urgent need of people, and they are all the elite backbone of the 129th Division.

Even if the division commander and brigade commander wanted to punish them, they would definitely wait until the war was over.

During this period, they also have enough time to make up for their mistakes.

Besides, they captured so many large-scale strongholds overnight, and even captured the county seat of Pingding. Among them, one of their military achievements alone is enough to be considered unprecedented.

Furthermore, the loot they captured would not be eaten alone, but would be handed over to the brigade and division headquarters in part.

What other reasons would the brigade commander and division commander have to punish them?

…………

Kong Jie, who was cleaning the battlefield in Niangziguan, cried and fainted in the toilet.

Kong Jie: Li Yunlong, I was the first to join forces with you. Why the hell didn’t you take me with you when you got rich?

Li Yunlong: How far is Niangziguan from Pingping, Jucheng, Donghui, and Pingding? Do you have any idea? Is it because I want to make a fortune without you? With only two mud legs, can your new second regiment come here?

…………

Then, Qu Changshou introduced the situation and information about other local tyrants and evil gentry in Pingding County. Although these local tyrants and evil gentry have a substantial family background, they are completely incomparable to the four major families of Qin, Tang, Ding, and Xia.

Li Yunlong had no interest at all at this time. After handing over the task of raiding the houses of these local tyrants and evil gentry to the first battalion commander Zhang Dabiao, the second battalion commander Shen Quan and others, he personally led his troops to pacify the four major families.

Among them, the first stop is the Qin family!

It must be mentioned that originally, Li Yunlong wanted to hand over the task of raiding the homes of other local tyrants and evil gentry to Cheng Xiazi, Xu Shengji and Chen Lian.

But Cheng Xiazi and the other three were not stupid. On the contrary, each of them was smarter than the other. Of course they knew that this was Li Yunlong's conspiracy, in order to separate them and eat alone.

If they were not present, wouldn't it be Li Yunlong who had the final say on how much benefit they would get from the four major families?

Although Li Yunlong's plan sounded loud and clear, they were not fooled.

In the Qin family compound.

The Qin family were all awakened when the new regiment bombarded the East City Gate. At first, they did not take it seriously.

After all, the Eighth Route Army had never attacked a county town.

In their opinion, the most the Eighth Route Army could do was harass Pingding County and disgust the Japanese garrisoned in the city. However, as the gunfire became more intense, they gradually realized that something was wrong.

Until the Eighth Route Army entered the city, all the Japs defending the city were wiped out, and all the puppet troops surrendered.

This group of Qin family members finally woke up from their dreams, but at this time, it was impossible for them to escape from the city.

Because the county seat has been controlled by the Eighth Route Army, the city gates are closed. Well, the east city gate has been blown up and cannot be closed.

In addition, the entrances of major local tyrants and evil gentry were also controlled by the Eighth Route Army.

Although the Eighth Route Army has not yet entered the homes of the local tyrants and evil gentry, these guys who have done all kinds of bad things are already feeling uneasy in their hearts.

Because they themselves know best what evil deeds they have done.

As for what kind of army the Eighth Route Army was, the deceived common people in the occupied areas may not have a clear idea, but they knew it clearly.

After the Eighth Route Army captures Pingding County, they will definitely settle the score with them!
Chapter completed!
