Wind spy

"Minister, these velvet antlers and wild ginseng are all carefully selected treasures when I went to the Kwantung Army to negotiate business with the Kwantung Army. In terms of value, let's not talk about it. The key is genuine products, and it is rare to see such good quality in the market. ."

"Sable and lynx skins, I gave my wife two coats. Although it is in the south of the Yangtze River, the temperature is sometimes very low in winter, just as I wished to my brother and sister in advance." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

The stall was too big right now. After returning to the Shanghai stock market, he didn't stay for two days, and then he came to Su Zhou to discuss with Li Shiqun about salt sales.

In fact, Chen Mingxiang is not worried that Li Shiqun will not cooperate. Even according to the current market conditions, in November and December, there will be a sales dividend of up to 2 million in the coupon.After entering the Republic of China for thirty-two years, there will be a monthly dividend of up to 4 million in the coupons. With the greedy character of the other party, it will never be let go.

For Li Shiqun, it is not the most important thing for Chen Mingxiang and the local salt merchants to operate the salt sales in this area. Whether he can get a huge dividend is the core of the problem.

This time Chen Mingxiang came to Suzhou for another important purpose, and that was to purchase food. First of all, he would buy low-priced food for the victims of the Shanghai stock market and the British and American expatriates in the public concessions, and conduct year-end relief activities.

"I guess you should be here too. The Salt Administration has sent an official document to the provincial government. The salt in Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou and Zhenjiang is actually allocated to your Haiyuan Salt Company. I still think it’s weird. When did Zhou Naohai? So generous, you have to tell me about the doorway inside." Li Shiqun said with a smile.

This is at Tianxiang Xiaozhu’s home. Since Chen Mingxiang is here, he must of course be hospitalized. This boy is now getting bigger and bigger, and his hands are getting longer and longer. Even the Japanese salt industry is strictly controlled by the Japanese army. A piece of fat is still the biggest piece.

The Shanghai Stock Exchange and Jinling two special cities, Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou and Zhenjiang, are the essence of the entire Jinling government's ruling territory. It is the richest and most densely populated area, which can be said to be rich in oil and water.

Zhou Aohai is not a generous person. He is also famous for his greed. Salt tax is an important source of tax revenue for the Ministry of Finance. If this area can be given to Chen Mingxiang, there must be some deal behind the scenes.

Li Shiqun has never stared at the salt tax. That's because the salt in the entire central China region is manipulated by the Japanese Huazhong Salt Industry Co., Ltd. to collect taxes from the Japanese. Isn't that a court death?

However, since the Salt Bureau dared to issue documents to the provincial government so arrogantly, it meant that there were some unknown changes in it. If he hadn’t known that Chen Mingxiang was outside the customs, he would have called and asked. The salt tax can not only enrich the provincial finances, It can also enrich his pockets!

"The reason why the Salt Service Department made such an arrangement was because I was authorized by the Huazhong Salt Industry Co., Ltd. to operate salt sales in the entire central China area, and the entire Shanghai stock market was allocated to me. They had no choice. ."

"The reason why Huazhong Salt Industry Co., Ltd. did this is in the final analysis because of my fleet. As you know, the current situation is that the Japanese merchants’ ships are extremely scarce and the military does not support them. As a result, the salt from the Lianghuai Saltworks cannot be shipped. People everywhere complained, they really can't hold it anymore."

"I will give you a top secret. On the 8th of this month, Japan convened an imperial meeting and adopted a new policy against the Jinling government. The material control power will be handed over to the Jinling government next year. Wait for the visit of Chairman Wang in mid-December. Japan will also bring back written agreements."

"Huazhong Salt Industry Co., Ltd. will be acquired by the Ministry of Finance next year and become a material control agency of the Jinling government jointly established by the government and businessmen. Under the management of the Salt Bureau and the General Administration of Salt, the new company will be responsible for the salt sales of the Lianghuai Saltworks. This site is also because of my relationship."

"If you want to carry out transportation to the entire Central China region, waterways are very important. However, if the military police water inspection team and naval patrol boats can't be bought, it is another way to say that they do not have a few ships in their hands, and the transportation capacity is not qualified. I'm on par." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

This is to use the advantage of information asymmetry to stimulate Li Shiqun. These news are top secret even in the Japanese army. The Jinling government strictly keeps it confidential. Although Chen Mingxiang knows it, it is impossible for Li Shiqun to know before Wang Jingwei returns from Japan. .

Chen Mingxiang wanted to create an impression, deepen his position and weight in Li Shiqun’s mind, and pave the way for future actions. This time he went to see Kage Sao Akira outside the pass. He deeply felt that Japan’s attitude towards Li Shiqun had changed a bit. .

While drinking, Ying Zuo Zhen Zhao said that he was a little disappointed with Li Shiqun's performance after he arrived in Jiangsu Province, and regretted giving him such an important position.

Li Shiqun is indeed credited, but the Japanese side also gave the corresponding rewards. He was originally a small spy of the Central Bureau of Statistics. Now he has become a military and political officer of the Jinling government. too much.

Since assuming the chairmanship of the province, Li Shiqun has turned the province of Jiangsu into a private place that cannot be penetrated by water, intercepting the taxes of the province of Jiangsu, burdening the finances of the Jinling government, smuggling food, and conquering the imperial army. He has a negative attitude towards food, and he has to intervene in the army. If he continues to do this, he is very dangerous.

"What? The Japanese actually want to give the Jinling government the control over materials? Chairman Wang will visit Japan in December? How come I haven't heard any of these important news? If it weren't for your brother to tell me, I would still be in the dark. Inside!"

"Ming Xiang, I know you are well-informed and highly valued in the Garrison Command and the major agencies in Shanghai. You must know the inside story behind these things, and tell me what is going on? What has changed? ?" Li Shiqun was shocked.

He was really scared. He couldn’t be more clear about the value of these news. As a dignified member of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee, the chairman of Jiangsu Province, the minister of investigation and statistics, and the director of the secret service headquarters, he was among the core military and political officers of the Jinling government. One of the most powerful people did not know anything after such a big change. Could it be that he was excluded from the top?

In the past, there were Kage Sazhen Show and Qingqi Qingyin, Li Shiqun can get the internal news of the Japanese government every time in advance, and accurately grasp the context of the situation, but now it is completely different!

Lieutenant General Matsui did not respond to his active approach. As for the May agency, he did not give him any news except for the necessary work arrangements. This phenomenon seemed to be a signal.

"Minister, you are also an veteran agent. Why do you feel so uncomfortable when encountering things? It depends on our brother's relationship. If there is anything unfavorable to you, I will definitely tell you the news in advance." Chen Mingxiang said.
