Wind spy

"Chen Jun, I heard that Miss Kawashima came to the hotel to see you last night. People like her who are outdated for a long time have no value anymore. Don't be deceived by her false lies. Others may I don't know her details, but I know very well." Murano Naohiro said with a smile.

Chen Mingxiang plans to visit the salt field today to discuss how to complete the four thousand tons of coarse salt. Since this is an important source of money for the military police in the entire North China, it is a top priority for the military police in Jincheng. He just finished breakfast. So came to the hotel.

The military police on duty told him that Yoshiko Kawashima had actually visited Chen Mingxiang last night, and that he had been in the room for a long time.

Naohiro Murano didn't make associations with men and women, but worried that Chen Mingxiang didn't know about Yoshiko Kawashima, so he gave a very straightforward reminder.

Because of the loss of funds from the Japanese intelligence agencies, the female spy's financial situation is very bad. In order to maintain her extravagant life, she has done a lot of deception in Pingjin and Tianjin.

"When she was beautiful, there were no small people like me in her eyes. Last night, she came to make a polite visit. Listening to her, the main reason was to find some money for herself."

"I'm a bit puzzled. It is said that Ms. Kawashima has extraordinary elegance. I have observed her for a long time, and there is no legendary charm and temperament at all. It still dumps sentient beings like this. Isn't this a bit too much?" Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

"I heard General Yano say that you have an elegant, graceful and luxurious lady who comes from a Jinling aristocratic family as your wife, and she has also received modern Western education and is proficient in tea ceremony and etiquette. It is not surprising that you have a high eye."

"The wisdom and ability of Yoshiko Kawashima is indeed very outstanding. The number of women who can be awarded military ranks by the imperial military is very rare. Then there is her origin. The blood of the royal family is kept in her body. Her father is a prince, and she is the so-called Gege. , Which also adds a sense of mystery to her."

"Actually, she can only be said to be beautiful based on her appearance, but she has no relationship with peerless beauty. It is nothing more than a unique personality that is more attractive. The men who are fascinated by her may be described as feelings. Peerless elegance." Murano Naohiro said with a smile.

How could he think that Chen Mingxiang and Yoshiko Kawashima just met for the second time, and they have quickly reached a cooperation in a short period of time. The bargaining chip in the transaction is the Japanese female spy Kojima!

The enemy's enemy is a friend, and two completely strangers can hit it off instantly, because of her, the common enemy!

For Murano Naohiro, as long as Chen Mingxiang is not deceived by Yoshiko Kawashima, there is no problem. If the female spy can't recognize the situation, he will naturally issue a warning.

"It is said that the annual output of this salt pan is about 60,000 tons. It is very close to the main road, the transportation is very convenient, and the output is abundant enough to ensure that our salt sales in central China will not be affected by the supply of goods." Chen Mingxiang stood by. Said near Yantian.

There is a salt pan that can't be seen at a glance. The evaporation pond, the adjustment pond and the crystallization pond are densely packed. Thousands of workers are working. The white salt piles more than ten meters high, which is like a small mountain bag.

There is also a group of workers who put the salt in big straw bags and transported it to the straw shed to store it. Regardless of the cost of a ton of only more than 30 yuan, this thing is profitable by quantity, and the cost is not very high. A steady stream of sea water equals a steady stream of wealth.

"I spoke with the commander yesterday, and General Yano also consulted the North China Liaison Department of the Xingya Institute, and decided to assign you a salt field in the name of the logistics support of the Imperial Army in Central China. You want to establish a refined salt factory in Shanghai. , To provide refined salt for local Japanese expats and garrisons."

"The North China Liaison Department of the Xingya Institute authorizes you to be the only salt underwriter in the Shanghai stock market. The monthly quota does not exceed 5,000 tons. I investigated the production information of the Tanggu Saltworks. The area here is not the largest, but the output is the highest. High-quality salt fields." Murano Naohiro said with a smile.

The two of them were in the Tanggu Salt Field, because it was the closest to the port. Considering the convenience of transportation, Murano Naohiro directly chose a salt field with a better location here.

"Kun Murano, this salt field is the main salt field of North China Salt Industry Co., Ltd. You assign it directly to Shanghai Haiyuan Salt Industry Company, isn't it appropriate? The empire needs a lot of salt every year, and the supply of Tanggu Salt Works accounts for about one-fifth. , The gendarmerie doing so will hinder the export to the empire!"

The North China Salt Industry Co., Ltd. and Changlu Salt Administration, which are in charge of the salt industry in North China, heard that the gendarmerie was about to remove an important salt pan from the Tanggu salt field. They suddenly jumped up like a cat with a stomped tail and hurried over. To the salt field.

"Asshole, the reason why this salt field was assigned to Shanghai Haiyuan Salt Industry Company was to solve the salt problem for the local troops and Japanese nationals. For this reason, Haiyuan Salt Industry had to build a refined salt processing plant, which was produced by Changlu Salt Industry. The total annual output of salt reaches more than one million tons, and not all of it is shipped to the mainland of the empire. It is 50-50% at most. What do you think I don't know?"

"Don't entangle with me here. If you have anything to do, go to the North China Liaison Department of the Xingya Institute, to the headquarters of the North China Dispatch Gendarmerie. You dare to restrict the supply of salt for the army and the overseas Chinese. I think you people have some thoughts. Question!" Murano Naohiro said coldly.

The two most important salt industry control agencies in North China, heard the names of these two agencies, and suddenly lost a word. The North China Liaison Department of the Xingya Institute is the highest decision-making agency responsible for all economic materials in North China. It belongs to the immediate superior, the military police. The headquarters is the executive agency, and no one can offend it.

Since the Jincheng Gendarmerie dared to say this, if it dared to do so, it must have been instructed by the upper level to involve the garrison and overseas Chinese in Central China. If they object, they will go to jail. Didn’t listen to Naohiro Murano? There is a problem in thinking. !

"But Mr. Murano, why must Haiyuan Salt Industry assume the supply of salt for the Shanghai stock market? The empire in Central China also has its own salt merchants. This is related to the control policy of the salt industry. Letting a Chinese person operate it, I think it is ill-considered !" said the person in charge of the Salt Bureau.

"You idiot, do the Empire's salt merchants in Shanghai and Central China have long-distance shipping capabilities? Local food, salt, and strategic materials are constantly in urgent need. Not only military ships, but civilian merchant ships have also been confiscated. Chen Jun’s fleet, where did you let the Imperial Salt Merchant get cargo ships?"

"Although Chen Jun is a Chinese, his company belongs to the military management enterprise of the gendarmerie. He has always delivered strategic materials to the imperial army and made great contributions to the maintenance of military supplies. Not only has he been commended by the military ministry, he has also been awarded by the Emperor. You are not qualified to comment on Ruibao's rebirth!" Murano Naohiro said sharply.
