The Jiujiang Gendarmerie Headquarters is not far away.
When Xu Rui and Leng Tiefeng found Yoshino Takuya, the little brat Yoshino had already gone off duty.
Seeing that Xu Rui really came to the door, Yoshino kept his word and applied for expatriate certificates for the two of them without saying anything. Then he took them to the maintenance committee and brought trouble to the pseudo-industry minister of the maintenance committee.
Only then did Xu Rui know why Yoshino Takuji was so kind and took the initiative to find something for him to do.
I bet Yoshino Takuji also colluded with the pseudo-industry minister of the Maintenance Council to open a opium den. The venue, supply of goods, funds and personnel were all provided by the pseudo-industry minister. Yoshino Takuji was also responsible for clearing the Japanese military police. To put it simply,
It is to let the Japanese Military Police become the protective umbrella of opium dens.
Yoshino Takuji is just a small sergeant, and of course he does not have such great energy.
But Yoshino Takujiya's brother, Yoshino Rio, is the commander of the Jiujiang Military Police.
However, Neji Okamura was very strict in his military management, and the Yoshino brothers did not dare to openly participate in the opium den business, so they found Xu Rui and asked Xu Rui to act as his agent. It must be said that Yoshino, a little devil, has quite a business acumen.
It can probably be regarded as the original prototype of commercial white gloves.
Of course, the Yoshino brothers have another consideration.
The Japanese army is highly mobile. Today, the Yoshino brothers are still in Jiujiang. They don’t know where they will go tomorrow, but they can’t take the opium den with them, so Xu Rui is left to help look after the scene. This opium den can provide the brothers with a steady stream of food.
Provide profits, but if their brothers are no longer in Jiujiang, the share will definitely be affected.
All the bustle in the world is for gain, and all the hustle and bustle in the world is for gain, and the little devil is no exception.
"How about it, Nishimura-san?" Yoshino Takuji also said straight to the point, "As long as you agree to stay and watch the show, I can give you eighty yen per month. There is no problem in settling in French currency. One hundred French currency every month.
, there is a year-end bonus at the end of the year, and your brother can also keep it, with a monthly salary of fifty French currency."
Xu Rui was about to refuse, but suddenly changed his mind.
This may be a good opportunity to lure Okamura Neji out.
Even if there is only one chance in ten thousand, it is still worth his ten thousand efforts.
At that moment Xu Rui said: "Yoshino-san, how much money can you make from just a smokehouse?"
"Nishimura-san, what do you mean?" Yoshino Takuji also said that Xu Rui refused, and his face became a little embarrassed. He originally just wanted to support these two compatriots who came to China to find opportunities to make money, but he didn't want to, the other party
He didn't even accept his favor, which made Yoshino a bit embarrassed.
Xu Rui quickly explained: "Yoshino-san, you misunderstood. What I meant was that the business of a smokehouse is too meager. We can definitely make the business bigger."
Yoshino Takuji also said: "You mean, open more opium dens?"
After finishing speaking, Yoshino Takuji also immediately shook his head and said: "That's not right, that's not right. Commander Okamura has always hated the Imperial Army soldiers engaging in business. A large opium den has a small goal, so it's easy to fool him. If you open a few more, it will only
I’m afraid it will be difficult to deceive Commander Okamura. If Commander Okamura finds out about this, it will be troublesome.”
Xu Rui smiled and said: "Yoshino-san, why do you have to open a smoking den?"
"Not opening a smoking den?" Yoshino Takuji also frowned, "Is there any more profitable business than opening a smoking den?"
"Yes, of course." Xu Rui lowered his voice and said, "Why not just grow and sell opium?"
"Planting and selling opium?" Yoshino Takuji also said in shock, "Nishimura-san, are you kidding me?"
Okamura Neiji has always advocated using China to control China and giving the Chinese enough respect, so he is very opposed to the Japanese engaging in the opium business in China. At present, Okamura Neiji is busy with the war on the front battlefield and has no time to pay attention to local security, but he is very concerned about the opium business.
The tendency is not a secret.
If it was just a smoke shop, then it wouldn't be a big problem.
No matter how much Okamura Neiji hated opium, he would never interfere with the treatment of a mere opium den.
But if it is a large-scale opium cultivation and trafficking, the nature is completely different. Once Okamura Neji finds out about this matter, not only will his life be saved, but his brother's Jiujiang Military Police commander will no longer be able to serve.
After all, although his brother is the commander of the military police, he cannot dominate the military police.
The deputy captain of the gendarmerie had been keeping an eye on his brother's position.
Xu Rui lowered his voice and said: "Yoshino-san, as long as you do it secretly, there will be no problem."
"What a secret method?" Yoshino Takuji also said, "As soon as the poppies bloom, even fools will know it."
Xu Rui told him all his thoughts: "Yoshino-san, you should know about Takeno charcoal grilling, right?"
"Takeno Charcoal Grill, of course I know that." Yoshino Takuji also said, "The charcoal grilled Wagyu beef there is very authentic, and the waitresses there are also very good, especially Sachiko, tsk tsk."
Xu Rui added: "The boss of Takeno Charcoal Grill, Takenoda Iso, is a good friend of mine. He plans to contract a piece of mountain land near Jiujiang to raise wagyu cattle, and begged me to guard the farm for him, so I thought, why not just contract a whole piece of mountain land."
, and then the surrounding area is enclosed with a fence, and the surrounding area is opened into pasture for raising Wagyu cattle, and poppies are secretly planted in the middle of the pasture. Who knows?”
"Yo Xi." Yoshino Takuji's eyes lit up and he said happily, "This is indeed a good idea."
"And..." Xu Rui paused for a moment, then whispered, "To ensure nothing goes wrong, we can also invite Commander Okamura to attend the ribbon-cutting when this Wagyu beef farm opens. Commander Okamura only needs to go
, then this breeding farm is an enterprise under the care of Commander Okamura, who dares to mess around?"
After talking for a long time in the clouds and fog, Xu Rui finally showed his fangs.
Xu Rui would not raise cattle for Takeno, let alone plant opium in Jiujiang to harm his compatriots. The reason why he said this was just to lure out Okamura Neji and kill him.
Yoshino Takuji is also dazzling. Is this a way to drag Commander Okamura into trouble?
However, Yoshino Takuji also quickly thought of a question, frowned and said: "I'm afraid Commander Okamura will not attend."
"Then it depends on your brother's ability." Xu Rui lowered his voice and said, "I will ask Takeno to invite Commander Okamura to attend the groundbreaking ceremony of the breeding farm. The rest depends on your brother's ability to convince Commander Okamura
Already."
"Okay." Yoshino Takuji gritted his teeth and said, "I'll tell my brother about this and wait for the news."
After reaching a verbal agreement, Takuji Yoshino stood up and left. Watching Takuji Yoshino go away, Leng Tiefeng whispered to Xu Rui: "Old Xu, is this okay?"
"It all depends on human effort." Xu Rui said, "Whether it works or not, you have to do it before you know."
Leng Tiefeng said: "But why do I feel that this matter is a bit unreliable? Okamura Neji is the commander of the 11th Army. He is too busy fighting the war. How can he have time to attend the foundation laying of the Wagyu Breeding Farm in Takeno?
ceremony?"
"That's not necessarily the case." Xu Rui shook his head and said, "If this Wagyu breeding farm can bring huge benefits to the Japanese army, it is entirely possible that Okamura Neji will attend the groundbreaking ceremony."
"Huge benefits?" Leng Tiefeng disagreed, "How much benefit can a Wagyu beef farm bring?"
Xu Rui shook his head and said: "But the problem is that this is not a pure Wagyu breeding farm, but an opium cultivation base! You don't know how much revenue a large-scale opium cultivation base can bring, right? The Japanese military is currently short of funds.
The Japanese government even publicly ordered the Japanese invaders to raise their own military supplies. At this juncture, do you think Okamura Neiji would refuse such a considerable income?"
Leng Tiefeng was stunned: "But isn't Okamura Neji clearly opposed to the sale of cigarettes in China?"
"That's just an appearance. Okamura Ningji advocates using China to control China and giving the Chinese people enough respect. He must maintain a resolute anti-smoking attitude in public." Xu Rui smiled coldly and added, "However, Okamura Ningji
Neiji Okamura is still full of contempt for us Chinese in his heart, so as long as the risks are controllable, Okamura Neiji will not refuse opium cultivation."
Leng Tiefeng frowned and said: "Old Xu, are you thinking too complicated about this old devil Okamura Neji?"
"Too complicated?" Xu Rui shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Okamura Neji is not a simple Japanese general. In a sense, he is actually a political figure."
(Dividing line)
Xu Rui's words hit the mark. Okamura Neji is indeed a political figure.
Many people, including senior officials of the Nanjing puppet government, were confused by Okamura Neiji's superficial claims and thought that the old devil was a purely pro-China general. However, Okamura Neiji's cronies like Yoshino Kota
It is very clear that Okamura Neji is actually very serious in his heart.
Therefore, when Yoshino Takuji came back and talked about it, Yoshino Rio immediately realized that this was a good way to make money.
Since the Sino-Japanese War has never ended, the Japanese government's finances are on the verge of bankruptcy. The Ministry of War can no longer even come up with enough money to purchase military rations, so it has to give orders to the Japanese troops on the Chinese battlefield to let the invaders invade China.
The Japanese army raised its own military rations to alleviate domestic financial pressure.
Right now, the Eleventh Army is facing heavy pressure caused by insufficient funds.
Therefore, Commander Okamura is very likely to agree to build an opium cultivation base in Jiujiang.
As long as the risks are controllable, Commander Okamura has no reason to refuse such benefits.
At that moment, Yoshino Rio said: "I can tell the commander about this, but I can't guarantee that the commander will attend the groundbreaking ceremony. In addition, in order to ensure that no news leaks, I will send prisoners of war from the prison camp to the breeding farm to take charge.
Opium cultivation and breeding farms must be managed in a militarized manner."
Yoshino Takuji also said: "Yoshi, if you do this, everything will be foolproof."
Yoshino Rio added: "You can go back to that Nishimura now. The profits from the Wagyu cattle in the farm belong to Takeno Tanbaraki and him. As for the profits from opium cultivation, they can only get one percent."
"Understood." Yoshino Takuji also paused and said, "I'll go find him right now."
ps: I recommend the new book "The Feng Huang" by the hardcore veteran author Regan. Regan is also an old author whom swordsmen admire very much. From "The Beauty of the Country" to "The Tide" to "The Official Way Without Borders", the swordsman has been following it.
Moreover, readers who have higher requirements for the quality of works should not miss this book.
