    After Lao Zhangtou came to Hongyun Grain Store, he found a clerk he was very familiar with.  "Xiao Li, what are those two people here for? I think they seem to be very rich." "Of course, this time they ordered 2,000 bags of flour and wanted to sell it elsewhere. According to them  , They are big grain merchants from other places." Xiao Li said with a smile after seeing Lao Zhang's head.  "Big grain merchant?" After hearing his words, Lao Zhangtou almost condensed his eyebrows into the character "Sichuan".  "Do you think they look like big grain merchants?" "No!" Xiao Li shook his head and said.  Although he is not well-informed, he has seen a lot of big grain merchants from other places.  Their style and momentum are much stronger than those two people.  "And it's usually people from outside the area who bring food to us to sell. How can outsiders come to us to buy food and sell it in other places?" More and more doubts made Lao Zhangtou feel that there must be a conspiracy.  Since Jiyuan¡¯s industry began to flourish, Jiyuan¡¯s population has also increased.  Now that the food produced locally is not enough for ourselves, how can anyone be stupid enough to come here to buy food?  "But what they are offering is real money. Our boss will of course be willing to sell it when he sees the money." Xiao Li said.  Old Zhang nodded. He knew very well who the owner of Hongyun Grain Store was. He was simply a money-minded person.  Even if he knows you are a bandit, as long as you can afford the money, he will not hesitate to make a deal with you.  "But I don't know what's going on. Our store's business has been much better recently. Our grain store is almost sold out." Xiao Li said casually.  But the speaker didn¡¯t mean it.  The listener has a heart.  Xiao Li¡¯s words hit Lao Zhangtou¡¯s heart like a thunderbolt.  "What are you talking about? Your grain store is almost sold out of food?" Old Zhangtou said in great surprise.  "Yes, in the past few days, several big grain merchants from other places have come to buy grain from us, which makes our boss very happy." "What did they pay? Is it French currency or ocean!" Old Zhangtou hurriedly  asked.  "Of course it's legal tender. Our shopkeeper has inspected the money. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the money." Xiao Li said with a puzzled look on his face. He didn't understand why Lao Zhangtou was so panicked.  "Then do you know the situation of other grain stores?" "Yes, I heard that the business of other grain stores is also very good." Xiao Li continued. ??????????????????????????? Lao Zhangtou felt more and more that there was something wrong with this.  "So many people go to places where food is not produced to buy food. It's strange that there are no problems."  So who is the target?  Soon an answer appeared in his mind.  "Have all the grains you sold been shipped out?" "Some of them have been shipped out, and some are being shipped. After all, the volume of shipments recently has been too large, and our guys can't transport so much grain in a hurry."  "I'm telling you shopkeepers, don't be in a hurry to ship the goods. Find an excuse to delay the shipment for a while." After saying this, Lao Zhangtou was in a hurry to leave.  "Why is this?" Xiao Li asked with a puzzled look on his face.  "It won't take long for you to know. Oh, by the way, send five bags of flour to our family first, no, ten bags. I will ask my wife to send the money to you later. Remember. Send it now! This  I'll leave it to you," Lao Zhangtou said as he ran.  ****** ****** ****** Zhang Yushu could not help but turn pale with anger after reading the several reports in his hand. Then he slammed the table and said angrily: "Who dares to do this in our Jiyuan?"  It¡¯s really a shame.¡± In the past few days, his subordinates have received some reports, claiming that there has been a sudden and explosive growth in the sales of local products.  But this situation did not attract the attention of his men. After all, Jiyuan can now be regarded as a nearby industrial center, and it is natural for outsiders to come to shop.  But when Lao Zhangtou¡¯s report was handed over, those people really panicked.  Nowadays, we are in real troubled times, and everyone knows the importance of food.  If there is no food, then a country and army will be completely in chaos.?? So they quickly handed all the reports they collected to Zhang Yushu's desk.  "Check! Send someone to check for me! How much grain are there in those grain stores now? If not, inform them to temporarily stop all transactions, and at the same time send people to arrest all the big foreign businessmen for me immediately. In addition, set up facilities in border areas  Card, all food and commodities are temporarily prohibited from being transported to other places." Zhang Yushu thought for a while and said.  "As you command, sir." Soon, MI5, the most powerful intelligence machine in Jiyuan, started to operate.  Agents were sent out one by one, and then all their subordinates were mobilized. Soon almost the entire peripheral members of Jiyuan also knew the news.  When these peripheral members took action, the suspicious big businessmen were found almost as quickly as possible.  Soon a large number of agents broke in and arrested these businessmen one by one. At the same time, a large amount of cash and bank drafts were also found in their residences.  At the same time, those grain stores and various stores also summarized their sales to Zhang Yushu.  Looking at these shocking figures in front of him, Zhang Yushu's face was as gloomy as if he could drip water.  In the last 10 days alone, Jiyuan¡¯s grain sales have exceeded the total sales of the previous three months, and the grain stocks of many grain stores have basically bottomed out.  In addition, some other small but high-value items in Jiyuan City, such as gold and silver jewelry, have also been snapped up on a large scale by unknown businessmen from other places.  Seeing this, no matter how stupid Zhang Yushu is, he knows that there must be something wrong here.  "Order everyone to step up the interrogation of these businessmen. In addition, I want to see the military commander." ****** ****** Lu Mingxuan has been in a good mood recently. His army finally attacked Jinzhou City.  .  Jinzhou is known as the ¡°throat¡± between the inside and outside of the country.  It strangles the eastern end of the "Western Liaoning Corridor".  It faces the Bohai Sea in the south.  Lying to the north of the Songling Mountains, it is an important transportation hub connecting Northeast China and North China.  There is a saying that "the four provinces are connected to each other".  As long as Jinzhou City is captured, the entire Northeast will be exposed to his torrent of steel.  But Jinzhou City is not so easy to conquer now. After two months of construction, Jinzhou City has basically been built into a real military city.  Outside the city, there are anti-tank trenches, minefields, bunkers, barbed wire and other fortifications built by the Japanese everywhere.  The city was also filled with a large number of Japanese soldiers.  According to Manstein¡¯s estimate, the number of Japanese soldiers in Jinzhou City is estimated to be around 300,000.  If you use conventional tactics, you will definitely pay a huge price to capture the Jinzhou 98th Army.  ¡°But facing this fortified city, both Manstein and Lu Mingxuan were full of confidence.  The source of their confidence lies in the large number of B29 strategic bombers and the large number of heavy artillery.  Since seeing the scene of B29 carpet bombing, Manstein has been amazed by it.  Although Manstein sent telegrams to the country several times, asking Mustache to buy back the B29 strategic bomber no matter what.  But considering Lu Mingxuan¡¯s extremely high price, Mustache finally rejected his request.  Manstein has always regretted this.  But this does not affect Manstein's large-scale use of those B29 strategic bombers.  He plans to use B29 bombers to carry out carpet bombing of Jinzhou City in the early stage. Their 500-pound and 1,000-pound aerial bombs are much more effective than the Gustav cannon.  Of course, Lu Mingxuan also supported Manstein¡¯s decision with both hands.  He believed that after more than ten days of carpet bombing and heavy artillery shelling.  Conquering Jinzhou City is definitely a matter of course.  But just as he was humming a little tune and preparing to wait for Jinzhou to be captured, the news brought by Zhang Yushu completely ruined his good mood.  "You said that many people hold large amounts of money and maliciously purchase large quantities of goods from us?" Lu Mingxuan frowned and said after listening to Zhang Yushu's report.  "That's right. And there are many types of these commodities, including not only food, but also many very valuable things." Zhang Yushu said solemnly.  After listening to his words, Lu Mingxuan remembered something.  That is, the Japanese often use the legal currency collected in the occupied areas to destroy the economy of the Kuomintang-controlled areas. It seems that this time the Japanese have set their sights on him.  But this cannot be ruled outThe possibility of the Kuomintang, after all, the Kuomintang controls the money printing machine, and it can have as much legal currency as it wants.  "Have you noticed the issuance date of their banknotes?" Lu Mingxuan thought for a while and said.  "I didn't notice this." Zhang Yushu said quickly.  "Go back and check the date of issuance of their legal currency. If it was issued before July 1937, then it was probably done by the Japanese. If it was issued after July 1937, there is a high probability that it was done.  "I guess it was the Kuomintang who did it," Lu Mingxuan said to him.  But now that the Kuomintang is busy attacking Nanjing, it shouldn't have much thought about getting into trouble with him.  ¡°And he had just dropped tens of thousands of aerial bombs on Japan, and those Japanese now hated him so much that it would not be surprising to stab him in the back.  "I understand, military commander. I will send someone to investigate immediately when I get back. But how should we deal with this matter? We can't always prohibit people from buying food." Zhang Yushu said to him with a grimace.  This is the first time he has encountered this kind of thing. He is really not very good at how to deal with such things that damage the economy.  After hearing his words, Lu Mingxuan also frowned tightly.  "I don't know if it's too late to issue military notes to replace legal tender. And even if he issues military notes, will the people recognize it?"  "But if military control is imposed on the economy, the damage to the economy will be too great. How should he deal with this move by the Japanese?"  After all, the Japanese have a lot of legal currency in their hands. If the Japanese give him this hand from time to time, the economic order of Jiyuan will be messed up.  At this moment, Zhang Boya walked in in a hurry.  "Military seat, who gave the order to ban grain trading?" "It was me." Zhang Yushu said.  "What happened?" Lu Mingxuan asked.  "It's chaos outside, it's all chaos." Zhang Boya said a little panicked.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
