Chapter 151 Mu Yu Xiaoxiao Chengdu August (Part 2)
"Only during the July flood fight, your news papers were full of good things about the army. When August comes, your rectification movement this time is really powerful..."
Not long after the rain stopped at night, the cool wind brought a moist smell from the courtyard. Yu Hezhong sat down in the study and talked about this matter with a slight smell of wine. This was probably a topic during the night party.
.The master rolled up his sleeves and poured him a cup of tea, smiling and saying: "How should I say it?"
"...Your shopkeeper here came to see me yesterday." Yu Hezhong held up the teacup, "It has something to do with this matter."
After the Huaxia Army reorganized the government, Zhuji was split up. Many of the big bosses entered the Ministry of Commerce and became senior managers, with their titles changing. However, in Chengdu's non-Huaxia Army circles, many people wanted to show that they had broad contacts and
Someone who had a relationship with someone in the past would still refer to certain officials with the title "shopkeeper".
The master looked at him with a smile. Yu Hezhong paused and said: "Because of this incident, the batch of goods being delivered to General Liu, and even the next batch, may be affected to some extent. It is said that overall
It will be postponed for a month or two. You also know that a fight has begun on General Liu's side, so if this matter is postponed, it will be a bit troublesome."
"This rectification affects the entire Seventh Army, from top to bottom, including Luqiaoshan, which has just been promoted. Now they have come back to review. Brother Yu, every rectification carried out by the Huaxia Army is the most serious matter, and there are no interruptions in the process.
It will be vague." Shishi said, "But how could it involve your side?"
"...This time you are rectifying the Seventh Army. Aren't you investigating the business of eating and taking cards on the foreign trade routes? People on the trade routes were captured, and the transactions that were originally planned were of course delayed."
"But the transaction with General Liu is the bulk of the Chinese military's foreign trade. The culprits have been taken down. The Ministry of Commerce and the Seventh Army should have allocated personnel to take over, so that it will not affect the entire process. There was a meeting there earlier.
, I seem to have heard of this."
"..." Yu Hezhong was silent for a moment, "It's not just the Seventh Army that was found..."
"Um?"
Shishi frowned and the room became quiet. Yu Hezhong took a sip of tea and put down the teacup.
"Hi." He reached out and patted his thigh and smiled bitterly, "Don't you know about General Liu's affairs? From the southwest to Ezhou, and then from Ezhou to the southwest, how long is the distance on both sides? Your Chinese army conducts rectification every year
, There are also people in the Seventh Army who want to take cards, General Liu’s side..."
He moved his hand in the air: "The batch of things to be delivered this time has already left Jiange and is about to arrive in Hanzhong. This time I checked up and down and found that a few of your people have gone down.
...You bastard, you took the risk and tried to burn the warehouse with a fire dragon. Fortunately, you guys were alert and suppressed it. But the other side said that the goods were no longer matched. You guys wanted to get to the bottom of it, so we stopped halfway.
Got it..."
The teacher thought for a while: "I haven't heard about this yet."
"After all, you are in the Propaganda Department. If you don't specifically inquire about this kind of thing, I won't be able to get it to you."
"Where's the difficulty?" Shishi looked at him gently, "How much of it do you have?"
"I won't take it, Master. You know me. I don't have great ambitions, and I'm not very clever in these matters. If I get involved in secretly exchanging military supplies, I will die sooner or later. I know the importance of it.
However...General Liu arranged for me to contact you here. If the whole thing went wrong, of course I am also responsible."
"Then...specifically..."
"There are nearly two thousand miles of trade routes, and all kinds of people who deal with them are trying to steal and pass off inferior goods as good ones. In fact, General Liu himself knows these things well. In the past few transactions, about 20% of the goods were exchanged.
In fact, most of them were sold to Dai Mengwei at a high price nearby. The ones who took advantage of this were mainly Yan Daolun and his gang. I was in the forefront, but I didn’t know most of the things.
, In fact, I really don’t know how they do it, but sometimes they will give me a hard-earned fee, Master, this... I don’t want them all.”
His face was sincere, and Shishi smiled: "I know, it's Liu Guangshi's money you lost anyway, it doesn't matter to me."
"No one dares to touch the ores, ironware, gold and silver that were sent to the southwest. They all know that you are strict. But now that the matter has been exposed and it is revealed, you can't just ignore the mistakes. Let's deal with those first.
Send the remaining 90% over... In fact, if General Liu is here, he will definitely collect the 90% first and then talk about it..."
"I don't think the Ministry of Commerce is to blame for this. When they do business, they can't think too well of people. If 90% of the goods are delivered carelessly, General Liu will receive the goods first, and then go back and say that the Chinese army is short of weight.
"Two, it's very difficult to argue here. And the entire Chinese Army is not afraid of arguing. The few people in charge will inevitably have to take the lead, and this is also their difficulty."
"I understand, I understand." Yu Hezhong nodded, "So now, the goods will be delayed for a month or two. General Liu is fighting at the front, and he will probably be angry if he finds out. The problem on our side is that we have to give him an explanation.
They met with Yan Daolun and the others today. Their idea was to hand over a few scapegoats to General Liu. It was these people who secretly exchanged goods, and even used one of them to wreak havoc after the incident, causing the Chinese Army's delivery to be delayed... In fact,
Some of my prisoners were wondering whether I should endorse them on this matter, so I ran over and asked Master Shi to give me some advice."
"If you don't endorse it, you have to be responsible." Shishi said.
"Yes." Yu Hezhong nodded, and then said, "However, I don't think General Liu will put too much responsibility on me. After all... I just..." He waved his hand, as if he wanted to say
I was just a cover-up, and I got the position because of my connections, but in the end I couldn't say it out loud.
Shishi looked at him for a while and sighed: "Big men don't think about things like this."
"I know too, so..." He was a little embarrassed.
Shishi laughed and said, "Tell me, what bad ideas have you come up with? Anyway, you are trying to trick Liu Guangshi. Why should I be embarrassed?"
Yu Hezhong also smiled helplessly: "General Liu was clear about matters in the officialdom and the army. He threw out a few scapegoats and asked General Liu to raid their homes first. It is okay to say that, but Yan Daolun and others said that it was inevitable.
General Liu still has a grudge hidden in his heart. So... they know that I can contact you privately, so they want you to help and move a line privately. Of course, they will not make it too difficult for you, but the Chinese Army will handle the investigation of the whole matter.
When I asked, just click on the names of those people. If there are signatures from the Chinese Army, General Liu will definitely believe them."
After he said this, he looked at Shishi sincerely, and Shishi looked at him for a while, and then said softly: "Where's the list? Let me see which unlucky ones are there."
Yu Hezhong breathed a sigh of relief and took out a small piece of rice paper from his sleeve. Shishi took it and looked at it with a half-smile, then put it into his pocket.
She sat there, silent for a moment, then picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea before she smiled: "Brother Yu, actually Mr. Yu, of course I will pass this message. You see, it is Mr. Yu, I will pass the message. Because.
In the final analysis, it is General Liu who suffers from this matter, not our Chinese Army. Of course, I don’t say what the outcome will be, but if it is just a small gesture of endorsement, especially to help Yan Daolun and the others, I think the higher-ups will help. Of course, the specifics
It will take two days for the answer to be given to you."
"Of course." Yu Hezhong said with a smile, "No matter what, if I come over and talk about this matter, I can actually explain it to Yan Daolun and the others."
Shishi nodded and smiled: "But what about Yu Si..."
After hearing what she said, Yu Hezhong lowered his head, reached for the tea cup on one side, and raised it as if to block himself: "I know Yu Zi, I know, alas, Master..."
Shishi narrowed his eyes and smiled like a crescent moon at the corner of his mouth: "Where is Yu Si? Brother Yu, I actually want to say, it's time for you to bring your sister-in-law and nephew to Chengdu. You have been separated for more than a year.
What does this mean if you don’t have a home?”
When the teacher talked about private matters, he naturally wanted to persuade him, but when he saw that he was unwilling to listen, he changed the subject. When Yu Hezhong heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then he sighed in embarrassment: "Your sister-in-law
Actually, as you know, they didn't have much knowledge at first. Over the years, they just stayed at home and sewed and embroidered. Here in Chengdu, I have to attend too many occasions now. If they really come over, I'm afraid...
…It’s inevitable to feel…uncomfortable…”
"Brother Yu can't bear to part with those two confidantes, right?" Shishi looked at him. Although there was blame in his words, his tone was still gentle and he would not force others to do anything aggressively.
"..." Yu Hezhong was silent for a moment, and then picked up the tea cup in his hand, "Hi. Actually... Master... Actually, you also know that when I was young, I had some great ambitions.
But... let’s not talk about the current situation. In short, I haven’t been able to do great things. After the fall of the Central Plains, I spent half my life, and then I arrived in Chengdu and met you again... Teacher, I am not afraid of your jokes. In the past year,
Perhaps the happiest year of my life..."
He paused and said, "Why don't I know what you are talking about about selfishness? As long as there is a problem with your Chinese army, you will rectify it everywhere. It seems unhuman, but if you can do things, everyone in the world will see it.
On General Liu's side, everyone just takes advantage of what's good for them, and if something goes wrong, they just deal with it. I know this won't work, but...Master, I'm not prepared..."
Shishi looked at him: "No one is prepared. In fact, they are all forced out."
"I understand." Yu Hezhong nodded, "But... Master, I have been very happy for more than a year... I really feel... Oh, sister, don't force me... And now,
At least I can help you... don't force me..."
"Okay." Shishi nodded, reached out to take the tea cup from his hand, and poured hot tea, "What Li Heng said is right. If you can do it, who doesn't want to be a salted fish for the rest of his life."
"Salted fish?"
"Sprinkle salt on it, make it hard, and hang it under the eaves. It doesn't matter whether it's windy or rainy. It just hangs blankly. You don't have to worry about anything. How happy it is. When I was in Bianliang, I thought about myself
After getting married, I should live like a salted fish."
She made such a joke, and Yu Hezhong couldn't help laughing, and the atmosphere between the two became harmonious again. After a moment passed like this, Yu Hezhong thought about it.
"There is one thing. Although I know the situation on your side, I think it's better to tell you in private."
"Um?"
"Whether you can do this or not, according to the rules, Yan Daolun will reward you with a large sum of money. I know that you will definitely not want it, but you will definitely give it to me, so I will be caught in the middle. You first
Don't talk... Let's pretend you don't know about this now. Maybe I can help you collect the money and do some small business for you. Anyway, just pretend you don't have it, but maybe... one day in the future, if you want to spend
Sales...I may not necessarily give it to you, because it is not yours, but if I have money, I may be able to lend it to you for emergency..."
He looked at Shishi seriously, and Shishi also looked at him cautiously for a while.
"What small business are you doing? Brother Yu, what business are you busy with recently?"
"It's all legitimate business, approved by your Huaxia Army." Yu Hezhong said, "Of course I didn't end up on my own. I also teamed up with a few reliable people here, including Li Rulai, General Li, and others.
, the main thing is to build a factory outside the city. I know that your Huaxia Army also really hopes that others will come to build a factory, and everyone will make a fortune together, so that we will become more and more prosperous, so we went here. In addition, after all, I have some people here.
The relationship between Yan Daolun and the others, as well as the people on General Liu's line, all give me some face. Well, people from outside are brought in, and these relationships are just right. Don't worry, they have all signed big contracts, and they are written in black and white.
I know I won’t get into trouble. In fact, everyone outside knows that the group of people who originally invested money have now made a lot of money..."
He lowered his voice and talked nonchalantly but confidently about this way of making money. Compared with taking advantage of the ordnance trade, building a factory in Chengdu is something that the Huaxia Army vigorously promotes, so what else is there?
So worried.
Hearing the words "Li Rulai", Shishi couldn't help but close her eyes, her lips pursed into an arc, and her whole face looked like a charming and complicated smile. Yu Hezhong didn't speak until later.
With some hesitation, Shishi opened his eyes, pursed his lips, and then nodded: "Okay, go ahead and vote. I'll put all my money in, and I'll report it to the boss. It'll be fine."
Yu Hezhong looked at him, then nodded heavily: "That's right, this is also helping the Chinese Army. If you want to donate in the future, that's fine."
"Well, that's right, make money." Shishi nodded, stretched out his palm and pushed to the side, "Yeah!" This was the action Ning Yi taught her. If the other party was present, he would also stretch out his palm to hit.
For a moment, Yu Hezhong didn't understand this approach, and in the past year, he had actually become more and more shy about being too close to his master, so he shrank back without knowing what was going on: "What?
."
"You are a country bumpkin." Shishi rolled her eyes at him.
"After all, I am old and not very familiar with the trendy people in your city."
"Ha ha."
"hey-hey."
This is a common way of speaking among young people in Chengdu these days. After saying this, both of them started laughing.
After chatting like this for a while, Yu Hezhong stood up and said goodbye. Shishi sent him to the gate of the yard and promised to give him a message as soon as possible. Yu Hezhong left with satisfaction. Looking back, Shishi felt a little complicated. He sighed heavily, and then asked the orderly to go out for a run: "Go and call Hou Yuanyong."
The orderly left here and rode to an office of the Ministry of Intelligence. After a while, Hou Yuanyong came on horseback. He entered the study room in the courtyard to meet with Shishi, who was staying in Hezhong. She handed him the list: "As you reminded me two days ago, Yu Hezhong came to see me today and there is something going on there." She conveyed the plans and intentions of Yu Hezhong, Yan Daolun and others.
Although the main work has now been transferred to the propaganda department, due to the existence of Yu Hezhong, a special intermediary, Shishi has always maintained contact with the intelligence department on Liu Guangshi's line. After all, as long as something happens over there, Yu Hezhong will My first reaction was, of course, to have a private round of communication with my teacher.
"In this matter, it would be best for Yan Daolun and the others to come forward in person." Shishi said, "By seizing their handle, we can basically have a clear grasp of the manpower Liu Guangshi left here."
Hou Yuanyong nodded: "The next communication with...the eldest brother, just leave it to us. Let us make things difficult for him, and then ask him to make an appointment with Yan Daolun, and let Yan Daolun come to do the deal in person."
The teacher nodded: "Yes."
After the handover, the two did not talk about anything more. After Hou Yuanyong left, Shishi sat in the study and thought for a while. In fact, there were still some questions and threads about the whole matter, such as why it had to be postponed for a day or two. With the delivery time of three months, she could vaguely detect some clues, but it was not convenient for her to confirm with Hou Yuanyong.
I can only talk to him in private when I go to see Ning Yi tomorrow.
The night outside the courtyard was clear and clear, but on the second day, it started to rain again...
