The concept of grain reserve is not new, but at the time of the Shanghai stock market, the municipal government actually wanted to intercept household rice as its grain reserve. If this news spreads, not only will the people scold Chen Gongbo’s 18th generation, but even The Japanese will not sit back and watch.

The reason why Mo Guokang put forward such a stupid idea is the result of official-based thinking. She first considers not the life and death of the people, but with this resource, to please the bureaucrats and speculators in the Shanghai stock market. , There are military police in Shanghai stock market.

"Nonsense, what kind of bad idea are you making? If you do this, wouldn’t it mean digging a big hole for me? This batch of grain was seized by the Japanese military police, specifically to alleviate the food crisis in the Shanghai stock market, before agreeing to transfer it. For the municipal government as a household registration rice, there are still 6,000 tons, even 6,000 catties cannot be detained!"

"When is the time now? You are still thinking about giving favors and gaining benefits. It's so stupid! If the famine in the Shanghai stock market causes serious social unrest and disrupts the Japanese military production tasks, I, the mayor, will end up!" Chen Gongbo said sternly.

Even if Mo Guokang made a mistake, he seldom reprimanded her with such words and tone, let alone when there were outsiders.But when it comes to their own safety, they don't care about tenderness and affection. This attitude is also for Chen Mingxiang.

He even suspected that this woman's cleverness had been deceived by the Shanghai stock market's drunken life. Such behavior was fine before, but can't the priority be distinguished?

Mo Guokang flushed immediately and was scolded in front of Chen Mingxiang, which detracted from her image to the outside world, but Chen Mingxiang was surprised that her face calmed down and she stood on the side with a smile and stopped talking. So Chen Gongbo was embarrassed to continue talking.

"In her position, Secretary Mo is the secretary to the mayor, which is tantamount to a steward of the municipal government. Her starting point is good. She also wants to maintain the stability of the municipal government at all levels. It is for your consideration. It is normal to think of the particularity of this incident."

"You are not only the mayor of the 4 million people in the Shanghai stock market, but also the leaders of government officials at all levels. It seems that the food shortage problem in the Shanghai stock market cannot be solved in a short time. Everyone is counting on you. Can come up with a way to alleviate the food shortage, it is estimated that Secretary Mo also felt some pressure." Chen Mingxiang said.

Mo Guokang felt very comfortable when she heard Chen Mingxiang say good things to herself, but she was still close to the fire, and did not hear the trap Chen Mingxiang ambushed in her words.

But the feeling to Chen Gongbo was that Mo Guokang had overstepped his authority or overstepped the boundaries, making decisions for himself in private, and regardless of the overall situation, he might get into trouble, and frowned.

"You are right. To solve this problem, you must get at least 20,000 tons of rice every month, but our city government has failed to do half of it. The Food Administration report says that per capita is only one per day. I can hear the cries of hunger from the citizens every day, and I also know that sooner or later, big things will happen.

"Mingxiang, you are my hand, and you have a good relationship with grain merchants everywhere. I hope you can help the city government to ease this situation. You can rest assured that money is definitely not a problem. As long as there is food to buy, I It will let the Ministry of Finance prepare enough funds, and will not forget your credit." Chen Gongbo said.

For the current Jinling government, money is really not a problem. Japan’s banknote printing machine specializing in printing Chinese coupons operates 24 hours a day, and at least tens of millions of them are printed every day, and then packed and shipped. Shipped to the Shanghai Stock Exchange Branch of the Reserve Bank of China.

As for the collapse of the financial market caused by a large number of banknotes, the value of the banknotes plummeted, the Jinling government has no choice at all. Even the right to issue banknotes is controlled by the Japanese. What else is there to say?

But Chen Gongbo knew in his heart that unless the Japanese troops withdrew, this phenomenon would never be cured, and it would be nice to alleviate it.

"The Japanese don't have to think about it. They don't have enough food for their own army. It is basically impossible to completely alleviate this situation. Both the Krabi district and the Yimi district are being stared to death. Whoever interferes , It must bear the anger of both the Jinling government and the Japanese army at the same time, so it can only operate secretly."

"As the saying goes, accumulate more, I will use the name of the Southeast Trading Company to buy grain from grain merchants in northern Anhui, northern Jiangsu, southern Zhejiang, and southern Jiangxi. It may be a few tons or ten tons each time, but this is a long-term business, and sooner or later you can see the benefits." Chen Mingxiang said.

The conflict between the Japanese and the puppet government on food is becoming more and more serious because of their respective interests. He wants to take advantage of this situation to purchase food from various places as much as possible. The formation of a special operations team is a killer that affects grain merchants everywhere. .

The relief station in the Zhabei area was set up by Chen Mingxiang suggested to the city government, but he didn’t go there very much. Wang Zhen came forward to do it for him. There are a large number of refugees living here, mostly orphans and homeless families, as well as some elderly people. With the rapid deterioration of the food market, more and more people come to the relief stations for help.

In addition, the foreign nationals in the concentration camps are also waiting for rescue. This is an important resource for Chen Mingxiang to enhance his value and power. The embassies of the three countries give US dollars every month, and he must not stop the supply.

Chen Gongbo has no objection to the price of grain. Li Shiqun bought this batch of grain from the Southeast Trading Company by half-buying and half-grabbing, even at the market price, which is 900 yuan per stone.

However, Chen Mingxiang’s price to the city government was 2,000 yuan per stone, which was completely sold at the black market price. Chen Gongbo accepted the money because naturally there is a rebate. He never loses money when he does business with Chen Mingxiang. .

That night, Chen Mingxiang arrived in Luzhou by a Japanese transport plane. The captain of the Luzhou gendarmerie Nakamoto and the manager of the acquisition station drove the car, took him and the bodyguards to the hotel, and had dinner together.

"Chen Jun, you are welcome to come to Luzhou to inspect the work. The Gangcun section chief has already sent me a message. In the past few years, the local gendarmerie and I have been under your care and have no chance to thank you. If you need help, please Just open your mouth, come, let's have a drink first." Sakamoto Nakasa toasted.

The Luzhou Gendarmerie is a subordinate organization of the Shanghai Gendarmerie Command. It commands the gendarmerie throughout Anhui Province and is also a direct beneficiary of Chen Mingxiang’s various industries.

The Huatong Trading Company’s large transactions must be handled through the headquarters. Other military police teams have such a large authority. After the transaction is completed, the headquarters will then take out the dividends of Chen Mingxiang in the name of various expenditures. Part of it was distributed to the gendarmerie in various places.

However, both the Luzhou Purchasing Station and the Qiaocheng Tobacco Factory were located in Anhui Province, and Chen Mingxiang asked the person in charge to secretly pay Sakamoto Nakasa a dividend. After all, the county official is not as good as the current one. It is necessary to establish a good relationship.
