Zhai Zhenchuan said: "I have made a preliminary agreement with Mrs. Jin to invest and set up a factory in Changsha. You go to Changsha now to do two things! The first thing, listen clearly, the first thing is to purchase supplies. No matter what supplies, we will do it
We need to buy all the supplies that the factory needs, or that may be in short supply in the future! Once purchased, transport them to Changsha and find a suitable place to store them! Understood!"
Liang Jinkai nodded, "Understood! Our funds will become worthless if we don't use them anymore!"
Zhai Zhenchuan said: "Yes, that's what I mean! The second thing is to choose a location where you can set up a factory! First, it should be spacious, second, it should be convenient for transportation, and third, it should not attract people's attention! I am determined to set up a factory.
Machinery factory! Our industry is too backward! Set up a machine factory and we can contribute a little to the country!"
At this time, Liang Jinkai whispered: "Sir, that will require a lot of money! I'm afraid we don't have enough funds!"
A weird smile appeared on Zhai Zhenchuan's face, "Jin Kai, what I want to tell you now is top secret! The military commander is trying to find ways to imitate counterfeit banknotes! I am also involved in helping. Gong Binsheng promised me that we can also use the counterfeit banknotes they imitated!
Do you understand what this means?"
Liang Jinkai opened his eyes wide and looked at him in surprise, "Oh my God, this business is so big! I'm afraid I need to go to Shanghai to purchase some supplies!"
Zhai Zhenchuan said: "It depends on the situation! You can buy any valuable materials! You can make full decisions! But one thing, you must be careful! I heard that the Japanese also have very strict control in Shanghai! You
Don’t let anything happen!”
Liang Jinkai nodded, "I know! I'll go tomorrow!"

Liao Ruolan's home, No. 15, Lane 6, Dagu Road, Shanghai.
Ever since Liao Ruolan told the An Jiang brothers and sisters that Uncle Jiu was looking for them, they finally let their guard down.
After Liao Ruolan went to work during the day, the brother and sister cleaned the room carefully and wiped everything clean.
After that, my brother An Jiang read the newspapers and books at home. My sister An Xiang was very fond of the pots of flowers on the windowsill. She always held a glass of water to water the flowers.
My brother said, "If you water it any more, it will drown it!"
My sister pouted and said, "I really hope they can bloom with little red and yellow flowers."
My brother said: "It's winter now and the flowers can't bloom."
When Liao Ruolan came back from get off work and had dinner with them, she sat down and asked them about their situation in more detail.
It turned out that they were taken out of their hometown as early as two years ago. They lived in Nanchang for a short time, and then went to Hangzhou. At the beginning of this year, someone took them to Shanghai.
An Jiang said that the person who brought them here asked them to wait at the entrance of an alley, and he entered a building diagonally opposite.
But within a few minutes, the man was dragged out by several Japanese military police! The man just glanced at them from the corner of his eye, said nothing, and was taken away by the Japanese military police!
An Jiang's voice was a little sad, "Auntie, since then, we have been wandering and begging on the streets of Shanghai."
Liao Ruolan said softly: "Uncle Jiu asked me to look for you, and I am also worried about your lives. Maybe, someone will come to question you in a few days. Just tell me what you know, okay?"
The brother and sister blinked their big eyes, as if they didn't quite understand, but they still nodded to her.

It was on this night that a fat man wearing a long gown and looking like a teacher came.
He brought candy and some snacks to the brother and sister, and then chatted with them in Hunan dialect.
After all, it was a hometown dialect that I hadn’t heard for a long time. Both brother and sister had smiles on their faces.
The man, who looks like a fat teacher, mainly talks to them about people and things in his hometown, such as this relative, that relative, what kind of food his mother usually gives them, whether there is a pond or a small river in front of the house, etc.
wait.
When the fat man who looked like a teacher was leaving, he whispered to Liao Ruolan: "They are them! I will report to the superiors, and you must also report to the superiors, and send them away as soon as possible!"
Liao Ruolan didn't know who the fat teacher wanted to report to, but she could only report to Huang Hanhui.
After listening to her report, Lao Huang said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, great. I will arrange for them to leave as soon as possible!"

At this time, Liang Jinkai was not the only one who secretly went to Changsha.
Qin Yali, who was thin and haggard, finally followed Li Chengguo to Changsha. For her, there was no nostalgia for Chongqing!
After losing her nursing brother, she was heartbroken and her will became increasingly depressed.
When everyone who knew her saw her, they opened their eyes wide and said to her: "Yali, you can't go on like this! Look what you have become! You are destined to be like this."
You can’t force it! You’re still young, you can still have another child!”
Chengguo stayed with her for a few days, kissing and hugging her, and then whispered: "Yali, come with me, let's get out of here!"
She saw herself in the mirror and felt that it was bad for her to continue like this. After thinking about it, there was really no other way! She had no choice but to agree to Chengguo's suggestion.
She secretly hopes that she will be with Chengguo every day from now on, and maybe she will have another child.
But no matter what, losing her brother is still the heaviest blow to her!
After arriving in Changsha, Chengguo hoped to help her arrange a position in the Ninth Theater Command.
Yali is very capable and good at dealing with people. He considered that it would be a good choice for Yali to be a secretary in the Secretariat of the Theater Political Department.
Li Chengguo's suggestion was met by everyone. Many officers had met Qin Yali and had a good impression of her. However, it still took some time to get it done, so Qin Yali was very leisurely during this period of time.
The leisurely Qin Yali has a good choice, which is to visit her two good friends, Gui Longhai and Fu Xuelan.

Gui Longhai and Fu Xuelan both welcomed Qin Yali's arrival. They took her to sit down and chatted about the recent situation.
They had heard about Yali's son's misfortune, and they also said many words of comfort to her.
At this time, Qin Yali took out the pink rag from her small bag and said: "This is what Xiaoyan wore that day. This is the only connection between my brother and I. Apart from this, there is nothing!"
Fu Xuelan was fine, so she took the rag and looked at it before handing it to Gui Longhai.
Gui Longhai held the piece of cloth, looked at it for a long time, and finally said, "Miss Qin, there is no blood on this piece of cloth."
When Qin Yali heard his words, she was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't understand. But soon, she straightened up suddenly and looked at Gui Longhai in shock and even fear, as if she didn't recognize him!
"Miss Qin, I didn't mean anything else, I just mentioned it like this." Gui Longhai understood her feelings and whispered.
"Chief Gui, please don't make me despair again! I can't stand it anymore!" Qin Yali looked at him and murmured.
Fu Xuelan also understood what Gui Longhai meant. There was no blood on this piece of cloth. It seemed that Miss Xiaoyan did not wear this dress that day! But no matter how you put it, this is only a possibility and there are countless possibilities!
She took Qin Yali's hand and said: "What Long Hai means is not to give you high hopes, but to ask you to pay more attention in the future. Seriously, we will pay more attention in the future! Really, just pay more attention in daily life!"
We don’t think about anything, we don’t expect anything, we just pay more attention and look around. Maybe we’ll see it!”
Qin Yali murmured: "Dr. Fu, you are Doctor Bodhisattva. Please help me pay attention to it no matter what in the future! You know, I don't dare to think too much about this! I really don't dare to think! What if?
...If... No, no, I don’t want to talk about this anymore! Some things, I think too much about, make them worse! Doctor Fu, please pay more attention!"
Fu Xuelan looked at her almost frightened eyes and the expectation hidden under the frightened eyes. He didn't know what to say to her!
A week later, Qin Yali's military service was completed, and she was appointed secretary of the Secretariat of the Political Department with the rank of major.
Qin Yali's mental state has gradually recovered since she started working.

Chongqing, Eighteen Ladders.
The kids from the Money Gang started a new business, delivering articles to "open skylight" newspapers.
Their "soft opening" for five consecutive days allowed them to learn some things they had never thought of before.
First, they noticed that there are many newspapers and publications in Chongqing now, but most of them were moved in from outside after the Anti-Japanese War.
For example: "Xinmin Daily" is in Tongyuanmen, "Nanjing Evening News" is in Gongju Street, "Central Daily News" and "Sweeping Daily" are in the same building on Minquan Road, "Xinhua Daily" is in Hualongqiao, and "Ta Kung Pao" is in
Liziba Main Street, etc.
These newspapers were all moved to Chongqing from other places.
Second, all newspapers and publications are subject to inspection by the Press Inspection Office! Even party newspapers such as the "Joongang Daily" and military newspapers such as the "Sweeping Daily" are also subject to inspection! Occasionally, they will be "opened"!
But the one with the most skylights is "Xinhua Daily", which also has a weekly magazine called "People's News". The other two with the most skylights are "Ta Kung Pao" and "Xinmin Daily".
Xiaoyan said: "These companies are our main business, we have to run more diligently!"
The third item is the most important. The press inspection office located in Shangqing Temple mainly checks in the morning. Whether the article has been "photographed" by them will be known by each newspaper before noon. Therefore, each newspaper must replace the article.
The "dead" article must be sent to the printing house before two o'clock in the afternoon! If it is later, it will be too late!
Xiaoyan asked Mazi, "Can we succeed in this business?"
Mazi said: "These are the main families. The senior officials and I went in and told them. I said we were running to deliver them, and it would not be too late! They all agreed, saying that they would come out as soon as this happens.
