Chapter 990 The lower the bottom line, the happier you are!
Looking at the appearance of the old Shanxi man, Tang Dao understood why Jin Province's economy was developing well before the war.
Rather than saying that this person is a war zone commander, it is better to say that this person is an extremely typical and shrewd Shanxi businessman. If it were more accurate, he would be a big businessman with extremely strong management abilities and skills.
If we put it in the future, this person will be able to become an Internet tycoon if he doesn't do well, and his eyes will be open to money.
Of course, this also shows from the side that this person has been crying for a long time, but it is actually all nonsense. At least in terms of arms, this person has something in his hands.
You know, the list that Tang Dao just took out was what Director Zhuang Da reported to Gao Li through gritted teeth, just waiting for bargaining. As a result, people just said, as long as they pay for it, they will sell it.
Not only did he say it, the Shanxi old man was also afraid that Tang Dao would regret it. He took out a pen and paper on the spot and drafted a handwriting for his general office, asking Tang Dao to contact them.
This saucy operation made Tang Dao a little bit dumbfounded. After all, his situation was still small.
Now that gold can be redeemed, arms can be purchased, strategies for southeastern Shanxi have been exchanged, and several major events that Tang Dao has to do when coming to Fen have been basically completed, Tang Dao plans to bid farewell to this man.
As a result, before the words were spoken, the Shanxi old man looked at Tang Dao with a warm face: "Captain Tang has purchased so much ordnance and equipment. I wonder if he has enough money? If not, I can ask the Shanxi Provincial Bank to provide you with assistance." Two is."
Hearing this old man suddenly say something that was not in line with his personality, the astute Tang Dao was slightly startled. When things go wrong, there must be monsters. Everything falling from the sky is often a trap. What is Lao Ji doing?
"Captain Tang, don't get me wrong. The money in the Jin Provincial Bank belongs to the country and cannot be borrowed in vain. I mean borrowing the bank. The interest is one and two cents per month. The mortgage will be your four-line regiment's military expenses. What do you think?" "The Shanxi old man was beaming with joy at this moment, his eyes were filled with golden light.
Fuck! I actually encountered a loan shark. Looking at the shrewd old man in front of me, Tang Dao's bottom line was refreshed again.
The monthly interest is one and two cents. After one year, the interest will be much higher than the principal. Isn't this usury?
Moreover, this old man is so smart. He is not afraid of Tang Dao defaulting on his debts. The monthly military expenditure of the Sixings Regiment is about 40,000 yuan, which is nearly 500,000 a year. The Sixings Regiment is now affiliated with the Second War Zone, and all military expenditures must be paid. From the theater headquarters side, as long as Tang Dao dares to sign this loan contract, they will dare to issue a white-flowered Dayang loan. It only takes one year to pay back the capital, and the rest is purely free money.
Of course, there are certain risks involved. For example, the battle of the Four Lines Regiment was not fought well, the entire army was wiped out and the establishment was cancelled, military spending was gone, and the loan was wasted.
But for this 'businessman', risk is an inevitable factor in the process of doing business. High returns are accompanied by high risks, right?
To put it bluntly, from another level, this person is quite optimistic about Tang Dao and Si Xing Tuan, thinking that at least they will not let him lose all his money.
That would be really appreciated! Tang Daote wanted to reply to this person.
Therefore, Tang Dao decisively refused: "Thank you, Chief Yan, for your concern. The cash exchanged for the Japanese gold seized by our department this time should be enough to pay for this batch of arms. If there is any shortage, I can ask Chief Yan for help." ?”
"That's it! Okay, don't be too pushy, baby. Those guys in the arsenal will not deliver goods without cash. This has been the case for so many years. I told them to put the country and the nation first, but they couldn't listen. Not being able to teach the people around me well has been a regret of mine for many years!" Seeing that he had lost such a high-quality customer, the old Shanxi man looked regretful as he touched his slightly bald forehead.
Tang Dao
No wonder the history books say that the principal couldn't help shouting "Niang Xipi" every time after seeing this person.
Really, after lowering the moral bottom line, he felt happy, but it was really difficult for others to feel happy.
"Old man, let me ask you one more thing. You don't need a loan. With such a large amount of arms and equipment, your Four Lines Regiment is going to expand its army, right? The poor and remote place where your Four Lines Regiment is currently stationed is recruiting high-quality soldiers for you? "The old man from Shanxi asked two questions in succession with a smile.
"Well, Tang Dao is also worried about this matter. If he wants to cope with the Japanese invaders' massive attack, it is imperative to expand the army, but what about the soldiers?" Tang Dao was wary and followed this man's words respectfully.
There is absolutely no need to hide some things. In order to cope with the Japanese attack, all the ministries in Shanxi Province, except the Central Army, are frantically expanding their troops. If they don't have firepower or equipment, they will just use people. If five of them can't defeat you, what about ten?
The human sea tactic may be a tragedy, but it is also the only thing the Chinese army can do at a disadvantage.
In the past, the strength of the 921st Division increased to 50,000 in one year, but it only had more than 10,000 guns. It took two or three people to get one gun on average. Many of them were not holding homemade red-tasseled guns and waiting to charge. They waited until their comrades died before picking up the remaining guns and continuing to fight. The conditions were so bad that it was unbearable to look at them.
But the human sea tactics played a great role in the end. The Chinese soldiers used their flesh and blood to block the Japanese front line composed of aircraft, tanks and artillery.
The Japanese army that attacked Jin Province arrived at the Yellow River and was at the end of its war effort. For eight years, the Japanese North China Front Army did not enter the Guanzhong Plain. The Japanese invaders in North China finally focused a large number of troops on stabilizing the occupied areas. Otherwise, they would not be able to properly maintain the stability of the occupied areas. The infantry logistics arriving in central and southern China will make the battlefield behind enemy lines no less important than the frontal battlefield in the next five or six years.
“Look, I knew you had this hidden worry. Today you proposed to me the strategy for the southeastern part of Shanxi. Old man, I was greatly inspired by this. I can't let you work in vain.
So be it! In the name of the Chairman of Shanxi Province, I appoint you Tang Dao as the county magistrate of Lucheng County. Lucheng County is a good place with a vast area, rich mineral deposits and a large population. I remember that the pre-war population count was about 75,000. Man, you are recruiting troops in the name of the county magistrate. There is no problem in recruiting more than 1,000 people.
By the way, what are the names of your deputy commander and chief of staff? "The old Shanxi man laughed.
"Deputy Commander Lei Xiong, Chief of Staff Gong Shaoxun." Tang Dao was still wondering what kind of medicine was in the jar of the old Shanxi man, and replied calmly.
"Appoint Lei Xiong as the magistrate of Licheng County and Gong Shaoxun as the magistrate of Pingshun County. The populations of these two counties are slightly smaller, but their combined population is over 100,000. Your three school officials from the Four Lines Regiment are concurrently appointed to serve over 100,000 people in the three counties. The father-in-law of the people must be loyal and loyal to the people of the three counties!" The face of the old Shanxi man gradually became serious, and his glasses blocked the flashing light.
"Don't be too busy to refuse. I know that these three counties are currently under the control of the Japanese invaders, but who said that the county can only be governed in the county? Besides, only those who drive out the Japanese invaders and restore our mountains and rivers are the soldiers of our country. My long-cherished wish, this is not only my trust in you, old man, but also your responsibility!”
With his big hat down like this, Tang Dao had no choice but to accept this job. The only thing he could do at this moment was to straighten his back and salute: "Yes! Tang Dao and his subordinates will live up to the love of Commander Yan!" Live up to the expectations of the people of the three counties!”
"That's right! You go! Before you leave, I will ask Fifth Sister to arrange a gift for the 683 trip." Seeing Tang Dao stand at attention and salute, a smile appeared on the serious face of the old Shanxi man and he waved. see a visitor out.
Tang Dao saluted again, then turned and left.
The middle-aged woman showed up to see off the guests. When she returned to the living room, she saw the Shanxi old man standing silently in front of the map. She couldn't help but be curious and pointed upward: "Brother, aren't you the most wary of people who are involved with you? Why did you kill the three of them?" The county's military and political power will be handed over to that young boy?”
"Hey, Fifth Sister, what do you think of Tang Dao?" The Shanxi old man who turned around with his hands behind his back looked completely different to his cousin who had followed him since childhood. He was like a kind brother, but he was not directly Answer your cousin's question.
"Captain Tang, just by looking at his figure and demeanor, I know that he must be a strong general in the army. I asked my elder brother about several of your personal guards, and they all said that if they met on the battlefield, how many of them would fight against him? They are all destined to die." The middle-aged woman's expression turned solemn.
Those who can serve as the personal guards of the old man in Shanxi are all elites in firearms and fighting skills selected from hundreds of thousands of Jinsui troops. There are even a few who are masters in martial arts, and then went to the army for a year of rigorous training to become hot and cold weapons. A double master.
Normally, they are all arrogant people who look down on everyone, but today they all said in unison that they were no match for a young man. This shows how strong Tang Dao is personally. "Haha, I know what you said. For my safety, Lao Jiang and several other masters were hidden in this small courtyard. But when the kid came, he didn't say anything or do anything, but Lao Jiang knew They were discovered.
And you don't know it yet! How audacious is that baby? To use Lao Jiang's exact words, if they were to fire, given the baby's position, the first one would use me, the theater commander, as a shield. "The Shanxi old man replied with a smile.
“You bastard, he's so brave!” When the middle-aged woman heard this, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
"That's it! Fifth sister, you don't have to blame him. In this world, people will be punished if they don't do it for themselves. If he, a guy who climbed out of the dead, doesn't do this, then I have to stay away from him!" But the old man from Shanxi He waved his hand, signaling the middle-aged woman to continue her evaluation.
"It would be fine if this guy is brave. I listened to his conversation with you and I know that this guy is extremely cunning. His words should have many reservations and should not be taken lightly." said the middle-aged woman.
"Haha, you are so cunning that you are right to the point, but cunning alone is not enough. As the saying goes: When you meet someone, you can only say a few words, but you can't say everything with your heart. When he met me for the first time, he was not my confidant. What is reserved is normal.
The real cunning of this guy is here. He lets you see his reservations, and yet makes you feel that this is normal without feeling bad about him. For example, Fifth Sister, do you hate him? "The old Shanxi man laughed.
"That's really what you said, brother. It's really hard for me to dislike Wu Mei. On the contrary, I think he is a real soldier. At least he doesn't have the annoying flattery that other people use when they meet you, brother." !" the middle-aged woman replied with a wry smile.
"You see, this doll is so powerful that it makes you, the head of the house, who has seen so many famous people in the house for more than 20 years, very fond of you. Such people, especially at this age, are really rare. Then!" The old Shanxi man smiled and took a sip of tea.
“However, he is still too young.” Then, the Shanxi old man pointed at his face. "Here! It's still not thick enough."
"Brother, what do you mean?" The middle-aged woman had not yet guessed her brother's intention, and there was thought in her eyes.
“Do you think this kid wants to be the head of these three counties? Or does he not want to be?”
"The three county seats are now in the hands of the Japanese invaders, and most of the areas outside the county seat are under the control of the 921st Division. The so-called county magistrate is just a false name. Whether it is taken seriously or not, it does not mean much." When the middle-aged woman said this, she suddenly realized.
"I understand, brother, you are trying to put a small nail between this kid and the 921st Division. Although they are still harmonious now, as long as it involves recruiting soldiers and other government affairs, as long as Tang Dao wants to expand his strength, it will definitely Conflicts will occur, once or twice may not matter, but over time there will naturally be conflicts.”
The old man from Shanxi had a calm face, but he smiled and said nothing.
The middle-aged woman guessed one level of the intention, but failed to guess the deeper level. He threw out three short-term county magistrates at once, also for that person to see. The two met secretly for more than an hour. Not only did they have a meal together, but they were also appointed as county magistrates. Isn't this just a way for Chi Guoguo to win over the strong men of the other side?
I asked you if you were angry, but you still had nothing to say, because your little **** never stopped.
come! Hurt each other! This was a disguised way for the Jin Province boss to express his anger to that person.
Tang Tuanzuo did not get rid of the attribute of a tool man in the eyes of big shots.
In fact, it didn't matter. From the moment he said that he would appoint Tang Dao as the magistrate of Lucheng County, Tang Dao knew why this person had been laying the groundwork for a long time. It was nothing more than to make it difficult for the 80th Army and him to return. To maintain a close relationship, the other thing is to add some worry to the principal who is thousands of miles away.
And for this person, he has paid nothing. If I have to say anything, it is a bit troublesome to stamp his seal three times in a row. God knows how many county magistrates he appointed during this period. Anyway, they were all occupied by the Japanese army, right? ?
However, this person had no idea that the soul in Tang Dao's body came from the descendants of the 80th Army. Now he has a colonel-level officer communicating with the 80th Army. How could such a little trick be used to drive a wedge between each other? ?
With the three county magistrates, it will be more convenient for Tang Dao to recruit soldiers in this vast area in the future. Even Boss Qian and others will go smoothly to build a factory in Dakouzidong.
What the hell, can't County Magistrate Tang, County Magistrate Lei and others develop the county economy?
Even Tang Dao and the three county magistrates Lei Xiong and Gong Shaoxun can use tax revenue to fund military expenses. Anyone who wants to use factory tax revenue has no excuse.
To put it bluntly, in Licheng and Lucheng, Tang Dao is the nominal highest political officer, and he can make arbitrary decisions on money and food matters, which is much more convenient than before.
The old man from Shanxi killed two birds with one stone with this move. Perhaps the only one who was really hurt was the one thousands of miles away. To paraphrase what I said in the future: The damage value is not high, but it is extremely insulting!
It is said that three hours after the three letters of appointment with large seals were issued by the Jin Provincial Administration Department, the principal who received the news smashed a teacup on the spot and cursed "Niang Xipi" several times again.
With that person's IQ and EQ, of course he knew that this old man was disgusting him, but he was really disgusted.
After all, the Si Xing Regiment was an infantry regiment that he personally gave the title to. As a result, the Shanxi old man did not shy away from giving the commander, deputy commander, and chief of staff the position of county magistrate. This was not enough to win over one of them. The rhythm of the four-element group is satisfying.
The key point is that there is nothing he can do about that person. After all, he is now the highest commander of the Second War Zone and has overall military and political power. This is his scope of authority.
Tang Da Tuanzuo, who secretly got the advantage, was secretly happy at first. Relying on his century-old experience from the future, the Shanxi old man, a century-old fox, was going to make a big mistake here.
But when he came out of the alley and met up with his two subordinates Peng Chong and Xia Dayu, Cai Teliang discovered that some people's bottom line was lower than he thought.
It was naturally impossible for the two soldiers who were hungry after waiting to just drink tea. Moreover, the commander ordered them to cook hard. Someone would pay for it anyway, so tea and snacks were naturally made.
In the end, the two of them were very full, but the bill almost made them dumbfounded.
For some tea and snacks from Te Liang, an old man's private teahouse actually gave him a bill of ten yuan. At this price, even at the current market price, you can buy a sheep.
If it weren't for a lieutenant colonel-level officer sitting in the most conspicuous position of the teahouse, Xia Dayu, who was already irritated, would have almost pulled out a gun and put it to the head of the accountant. This was simply worse than Sun Erniang's bun shop.
I am superficial! Tang Dao almost staggered after hearing the stories of two aggrieved subordinates.
This old man from Shanxi must have been a chicken butcher in a vegetable market in his previous life. His ability to pluck goose feathers is unparalleled!
Just one day's business in this teahouse can bring in a lot of money!
Since this is the case, you can't blame me! Tang Dao also secretly decided to give a certain old man a heartache.
This may be the so-called mutual harm!
