    "What are you talking about?"

    Old man Wang was a little unaccustomed to his aunt's nagging, so he stood up slowly after saying something.

    "You wait at home, I'll go take a look!"

    After Old Man Wang said this, he put the dry cigarette on his waist and walked slowly towards the county town with his hands behind his back.

    Halfway through, Old Man Wang met Old Man Zhao from the next village.

    "Isn't this Lao Wang from the next village? Where are you going?"

    When Old Man Zhao saw Old Man Wang, he immediately asked with a smile.

    "Go to the county seat! What are you doing?"

    "Hey! My boy joined the army before and died in the Battle of Songhu. The agency said that he could collect food every month. But it has been two months since the food was distributed. I just went to the county seat!"

    The reason why Old Man Zhao and Old Man Wang knew each other was that their eldest sons had both joined the army to fight the Japanese a few years ago.

    When Old Man Wang heard what Old Man Zhao said, his heart sank slightly, and a bad feeling spread, but he still asked: "What was the result? What did the agency say?"

    "Hey! The agency said there is no more money now. And they also said that if everyone paid like this, the finances wouldn't go bankrupt? Hey!"

    After Old Man Zhao finished speaking, he looked at Old Man Wang and said, "Is this also the reason for you?"

    "Um!"

    Old man Wang hummed in a low voice and continued walking towards the county town!

    "Don't go, it won't happen even if you go!"

    Hearing what Old Man Zhao said, Old Man Wang shook his head and said, "I'll go take a look. My son died fighting for the country, why is there no food!"

    "I'll go and have a look too! You're right. My son died for the country, why do you think there will be no food now if there is no food!"

    Jingnan, Zhou Weiguo’s office.

    "Are these news true?"

    Zhou Weiguo sat on his chair, and standing opposite him was Zhou Gen.

    Originally, Zhou Weiguo still had some respect for Zhou Gen. After all, he was the one who followed his father.  It helps him a lot now, and he is not young anymore.

    It’s just that today, Zhou Weiguo’s expression was ugly, and he could even be said to be cannibalistic.

    Because he got news a few days ago that a large amount of grain has emerged in the grain market throughout Nanhe, Dongshan and other places.

    Zhou Weiguo will not pay attention to this news. After all, a large amount of food appears on the market, which can effectively suppress food prices.  This is still beneficial to the people.

    But the key point is that these grains flowed out from local agencies, which made Zhou Weiguo have to pay attention.

    Within the jurisdiction of the Jingnan Agency, who are the most food-producing people?

    The first is Zhou Weiguo, who has the most food.  As much as you want.  As for the food prices in the entire Jiangnan region, he is indeed controlling the food prices.

    When the price of food is high, more food will be imported to keep the price down.

    If the price of food is too low, the speed of importing food will slow down. Therefore, the price of food in the Jiangnan area has been in a very stable state under the control of Zhou Weiguo.

    It not only allows those grain merchants to make money, but also prevents the people from finding it difficult to eat enough.

    The second person with food is the grain merchants. These grain merchants purchase grain from landlords and common people in various places, and then transport it to the cities for sale.

    Although they were unable to control food prices under Zhou Weiguo's rule, they were the only ones who could sell food on a large scale.

    And the third place that has food is the families of the landlords.

    And it is impossible for agencies to come up with large amounts of food.

    Because the grain collected through taxes in Jingnan would not go through local agencies at all, Zhou Weiguo set up grain tax supervisors in various places, and the directors of the grain tax supervisors would collect the taxes. After the taxes were collected, they would be escorted directly to Jingnan.  .

    So this time, a large amount of food was leaked from the local authorities, which attracted Zhou Weiguo's attention.

    "Master, it's absolutely true! I've already checked it out, and this food is flowing out from the agency. And I've also found out something, but I'm not sure yet!"

    Zhou Gen was a little hesitant when he said this. It was obvious that this matter was not trivial.

    Zhou Weiguo frowned, and then whispered: "What's the matter?"

    "There is a large amount of food shipped to the Japanese!"

    Zhou Weiguo's eyes suddenly raised, he looked at Zhou Gen and narrowed his eyes: "Is there any evidence?"

    The Japs themselves don’t have much arable land, but their population isQuite a few, with a population of more than 70 million.

    In the past, they plundered food from us and from the Koryo Peninsula.

    Now that they have been driven out, and in addition to the previous wars, the food and materials they stored have become spoils of war for the Jingnan agencies, and the Japanese are naturally short of food in their homeland.

    "Not yet! I just found some clues!"

    Zhou Gen looked at Zhou Weiguo with some fear.

    This is a serious crime of collaborating with the enemy. The crime of collaborating with the enemy has always been the confiscation of homes and extermination of families. Unexpectedly, this time it happened in the Government Affairs Yuan under his jurisdiction.

    It is said that those who are ruthless are mostly scholars, while those who are righteous are mostly dog-slaughters. There is some truth in this saying.

    "Have you found any clues? Go down and continue to investigate, don't let anyone go!"

    "Yes! Second Young Master!"

    "Well! Go down!"

    "yes!"

    Zhou Gen left, but Zhou Weiguo stood up, walked to the window and slowly lit a cigarette.

    Amid the smoke, no one knew what the ruler of Jingnan was thinking.

    After a while, he walked back to the table, picked up the phone and shook it.

    "Fetch Liu San from the Military Academy and ask him to come to my office!"

    Liu San, the person who is secretly in charge of Zhou Weiguo's Intelligence Bureau, can certainly not be said to be the head of the Intelligence Bureau to the outside world.

    Liu San’s external identity is an instructor of the Special Forces Team of the Military Academy.

    Liu San walked in after a while.

    Zhou Weiguo, who was standing in front of the window, said softly: "Look at the document on the table!"

    Liu San finished reading it after a while.

    "You continue to investigate this matter. I want to get the final result. Investigate whoever is involved, even if it involves my Zhou family's property, continue the investigation!"

    "Okay! Don't worry, I'll check immediately after I get down!"

    Zhou Weiguo didn't speak, he still stood there.

    Jingnan City, in a basement

    The lights in the basement were not on, and the only remaining light came from the oil lamp on the table.

    There are several people wearing various colored robes and workers' long sleeves sitting here.

    "Comrades, now we have suffered a great setback. The army has been eaten by the evil Chongqing. The base area has been destroyed. Now we have reached the most critical moment.

    According to the instructions above, we need to rescue three comrades Zhang Chu, Chen Yi and Fan Xiaoyu.  But now we have only guessed where Comrade Fan Xiaoyu is being held. We don’t know where Comrade Zhang Chu and Comrade Chen Yi are being held. So now we need you to do your best to find out the information, and you must find out where Zhang Chu and Chen Yi are being held!  Do you understand?  "

    One of them, a middle-aged man wearing a black robe, looked at the people around him with a stern voice.

    "I understand!" (remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
