The Changlu Salt Plant is the most important salt production base in North China. It can produce more than one million tons of raw salt every year, but half of the amount or even more is shipped to Japan by the Japanese army.

Because raw salt can not only produce refined edible salt, it is also a very important industrial raw material, which is of strategic significance to Japan's economic development and military.

The remaining half of the 500,000 tons will be partly supplied to the garrison and puppet government in North China, part to Japanese companies, part to central China and outside customs, and the last part is to supply edible salt to the people in North China. On the contrary, the cruel phenomenon of salt shortage appeared in salt-producing areas.

North China implements the Baojia system. According to the Japanese and puppet’s establishment, every ten households is one Jia, every ten Jia is one insurance, small natural villages become one insurance, and large natural villages form joint insurance.

Why mention the Baojia system, because table salt is an important controlled material, and the rationing system is implemented. It is not possible for individuals to buy salt alone, and Jia has to come forward and purchase it uniformly.

The method now implemented is basically based on the standard of one catty of salt per person per month, coarse salt is equivalent to one cent per catty of Union Bank coupons, and refined salt is 25 cents to one catty of Union Bank coupons.

Calculated on the basis of one ton and two kilograms, the cost per ton is 37 yuan, and one ton of coarse salt can be sold at a value of 260 yuan. If you exclude freight, you can earn at least two hundred yuan per ton. If you allocate 300,000 tons, that is 60 million!

"These empire's material control agencies take their own interests very seriously. In the future, our salt farms may be squeezed out by them. Mr. Murano, this thing must be prevented!" Chen Mingxiang said.

He could see that if he made a little trouble, set up a small salt farm at the corner of the corner, and put together 20,000 tons of salt a year, the Japanese businessman might not care, and the gendarmerie's face would also be worth the salt.

But now he occupies such a large salt field, and the annual output has reached 60,000 tons. These economic invaders whose interests have been affected are instantly red-eyed. The amount of salt given to Japan per year is determined by the Japanese government and cannot be one or two. Little, Chen Mingxiang's behavior is tantamount to fishing for meat in their bowl!

In desperation, he actually yelled at the military police chief, Naohiro Murano, if it hadn't been for the move out of the North China Liaison Department of the Xingya Academy and the military police headquarters, the result would be hard to say.

"Chen Jun, please rest assured, anyone who dares to fight against the gendarmerie will not end well, even if it is an imperial merchant."

"I will report their attitude to General Yano. Don't forget that there is no war without an army. If they dare to harm the interests of the army, they must pay the price!" Murano said grimly.

The dignified Jincheng gendarmerie captain, the dignified gendarmerie chief, was slapped in front of Chen Mingxiang by a group of businessmen, and he felt extremely angry.

The gendarmerie is not without the means of restricting these salt merchants. It is entirely possible to use military salt to seize any salt field except for transporting salt outside of Japan. The Japanese army also often smuggles salt. This is not a secret. On the one hand, it is for In exchange for strategic materials, one aspect is to raise military expenditures.

The funding of the Japanese army is not so generous, so it prints counterfeit banknotes everywhere and allocates military expenditures to the pseudo-government. This is not enough, and it often smuggles scarce supplies for profit.

"I saw Ms. Kawashima's sincerity. This information is indeed worth two thousand dollars, which makes me full of confidence in future cooperation." Chen Mingxiang put away a pile of paper and took two thousand dollars for Yoshiko Kawashima.

This is already within the scope of top-secret information. He never expected that Yoshiko Kawashima actually established a file of Kojima Chengko and his subordinates. There are photos and detailed records, and the records are very clear. He can clearly see this female agent. Track of action in China.

"It's not that weird. Knowing yourself is a common sense method. In Jincheng, she is my biggest opponent. I don't know her details. How can I fight her?"

"Mr. Chen, the cooperation between us will inevitably achieve a win-win result. If you have any needs in Pingjin, you can entrust me to handle it. I believe you will not be disappointed." Kawashima Yoshiko said with a smile.

I really underestimate this notorious female spy. Although what she has done is unforgivable, she is indeed a very good spy talent in terms of professionalism and her own ability. Success is not a fluke!

"We all know that salt is an industry that can make huge profits. Although there are Lianghuai Saltworks in Central China, that is, the North Jiangsu Saltworks, the output is not comparable to that of the Changlu Saltworks. Whether it is in Central China or North China, all saltworks output a large amount of raw salt. When I arrive in Japan, the supply of salt is becoming increasingly tight. For this reason, I intend to open up a channel for salt production and sales from the Changlu Salt Farm to the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

"With the help of the gendarmerie, I occupied a large salt pan in the Tanggu Salt Field today, and this incident also touched the core interests of Japanese salt merchants."

"The core of material control is monopoly. Monopoly can grab wealth to the greatest extent. Only the Japanese were given this privilege before. Now that I have reached in, I must share some of the benefits." Chen Mingxiang said.

"You plan to let me monitor these Japanese salt merchants and contact them often. Any unfavorable news will inform you in time?" Yoshiko Kawashima said with a smile.

"A smart person is a smart person. I have a lot of business in my hands. I come to Tianjin very few times. It is difficult to grasp the trends here. People in branches and offices want to get information from the Japanese. It's hard for them to think about it, only Ms. Kawashima is the most suitable."

"Doing this for me, in addition to the necessary expenses, you can still get the support of the Jincheng gendarmerie, which will greatly improve your situation, even if you meet Kojima Chengko again, she will not be able to suppress you anymore. "Chen Mingxiang said.

"No problem. I accepted this entrustment. Mr. Chen really became so popular in the military police system that he was able to intervene in the control materials in North China. To obtain this authorization, he must have the approval of the North China Liaison Department of the Xingya Institute. From this point of view, the relationship between you and Major General Qingxuan Shiozawa is also extraordinary." Yoshiko Kawashima said.

In her heyday, she did not dare to touch the core interests of Japanese businessmen. She knew how powerful the Japanese chaebol was.

But Chen Mingxiang was able to do it. He directly attacked the Changlu Salt Field and stole a piece of fat from the Japanese. It was incredible.

For such a newly emerging power, she is willing to move closer and cooperate in depth. The more she knows about Chen Mingxiang, the greater her psychological changes will be.

The drowning man caught a straw and did not let go, but Chen Mingxiang was a battleship riding the wind and waves. From the trajectory of his sailing, it seemed that nothing could stop him.
