It¡¯s a tragedy. I went to sweep the tombs during the Qingming Festival yesterday and ended up catching a cold due to the heavy rain. Today, the Internet was cut off for almost a day. I fainted ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª When Yan Xishan and the Datong Party were playing the silent game, the Shanxi merchants who had been enjoying great success during this period But at this time, we were caught in an economic crisis. No one knew what was going on, and it seemed as if most of their wealth had disappeared in an instant. When this happened, Shanxi merchants immediately thought of going to the Datong Party. It was not that they thought the Datong Party was obstructing them, but that after this period of cooperation, Shanxi merchants had unknowingly surrendered to the economic means of the Datong Party. Down. What Shanxi merchants didn¡¯t expect was that when they found Xi Zhongxun, the person in charge of the Datong Party in Taiyuan, Xi Zhongxun was leading people to pack up their belongings, as if preparing to move away. Seeing this situation, the Shanxi merchants were full of questions and asked one after another: "Boss Xi, who are you?" Looking at the group of Shanxi merchants who were questioning in front of them, Xi Zhongxun did not answer their questions, but spread his hands. They said that as they saw, the Datong Party was preparing to leave Taiyuan, so the Shanxi merchants had to ask why. After getting a lot of benefits from following the Datong Party, they no longer held a hostile attitude towards the Datong Party as they did at first, but hoped to follow the Datong Party. The most popular people behind the Datong Party drink spicy food. Seeing the sad expressions of the Shanxi merchants, Xi Zhongxun reluctantly put down what he was doing and said to them: "Boss Cai and Boss Li, it's not that we want to leave, it's just that Shanxi and Suizhou don't welcome us." "Xi Zhongxun. Boss, what do you say?" Upon hearing Xi Zhongxun's words, the Shanxi merchants headed by Cai Li all wondered, how could they not welcome the Datong Party? Maybe they had no contact with them before, but now But I can't wait to get closer to the Datong Party. "Some time ago, our party issued a "Declaration to Compatriots in the Nation to Resist Japan." Does Boss Cai and Boss Li know about it?" Xi Zhongxun asked deliberately. Hearing this, the Shanxi merchants nodded quickly. How could they not know about this statement, even though it was a military telegram sent to domestic warlords. Rich people like them can receive it themselves if they get a radio station. Even if there is no radio station, they can also find out through other channels. But what they were a little confused about was why Xi Zhongxun mentioned the declaration at this time. At this time, Xi Zhongxun went on to say: "Boss Cai and Boss Li should know that our party has always regarded resisting Japan and saving the nation as its own mission, and this time we went to Jinsui to open commercial projects. On the one hand, it is to accumulate anti-Japanese supplies in the future; on the other hand, it is also to To find a route into the Northeast, our party has spent all its efforts and financial resources. We thought we had established a good cooperative relationship with Shanxi and Suizhou, so we proposed to Shanxi and Suizhou at this time. Say it. But Mr. Yan is stubborn and still puts his own interests first and is unwilling to lend the road to our party" The Shanxi merchants all know about the borrowing, but they are not warlords and have no interest in the various interests involved. They don't care. As businessmen, the only thing they consider is how to make money. As for who pays taxes, they don't care. Just don't touch their bottom line. Now after listening to Xi Zhongxun¡¯s eloquent story, they realized that the Datong Party¡¯s business trip to Jinsui was not in vain, but was just to open up a route to the Northeast. Now that Yan Xishan did not use this route, the Datong Party wanted to find another way. The Shanxi merchants didn't know what the Datong Party's other methods were, but they all thought of the same thing, so they all looked at Xi Zhongxun in shock and said: "Boss Xi, your party is not good at literature and is ready to use force." Right? " "Boss Cai, Boss Li, don't worry. Our party's slogan is 'stop the civil war and unite with the outside world', how can we go back on our words?" Looking at the frightened Shanxi merchants, Xi Zhongxun still wore a professional smile. Although the Shanxi merchants did not believe what Xi Zhongxun said, to them, slogans were just slogans after all, and shouting was okay. All you really have to do is be a fool. However, they are not afraid of the Datong Party coming over, and even somewhat expect the Datong Party to take charge of Jinsui, and then they can more freely conduct various business cooperation with the Datong Party. Unlike other provinces, the land in Shanxi produces very little. Therefore, the number of landowners who rely on land to make a fortune is relatively small. The vast majority of wealthy people started in business and are not very dependent on land. Under this circumstance, Shanxi merchants are not too afraid of the land reform policy of the Datong Party. Compared with the wealth earned from commercial cooperation with the Datong Party, the rent collected for the land is only a drop in the bucket. Since cooperating with the Datong Party, Shanxi merchants have learned that the Datong Party does not reject commercial activities and even actively encourages national capitalists in the base areas to increase business investment. As long as they do not make shady money, it is not too crazy to exploit workers. Datong The party can accept it. In the words of the Datong Party, this is called uniting all forces that can be united. At present, all forces should be concentrated.Get rid of the Japanese invader. So in a sense, these businessmen are now the natural allies of the Datong Party and can be actively fought for. Seeing that the Datong Party is getting stronger and stronger, and is very likely to control China's political power in the future, Shanxi merchants are still complacent about being able to become allies of the Datong Party. But they never expected that the Datong Party would want to evacuate Jinsui at this time. The reason was simply that Yan Xishan was unwilling to give the Datong Party a way out. Once the Datong Party left, the previous economic cooperation with Shanxi merchants ceased to exist. Cai Li and others understood why half of their wealth seemed to evaporate in an instant, and the reason was the Datong Party. At this moment, they realized that they had unknowingly boarded the economic chariot of the Datong Party. As long as the Datong Party collapsed or left, they would also be unlucky. Although they felt that they had been cheated by the Datong Party after learning this, they were still happy when they thought of the wealth they earned by following the Datong Party. After understanding the whole story, Cai Li and other Shanxi merchants would naturally not easily lead the Datong Party to leave. They were accustomed to following the Datong Party to take advantage. If they were asked to give up like this, no one would agree. At present, Cai Li and other Shanxi merchants have persuaded Xi Zhongxun not to leave. They fully support the matter of resisting Japan and saving the country. If the matter of borrowing the road is left to them, Yan Xishan will definitely unify the Datong Party's suggestions. Seeing that things were going as expected, although Xi Zhongxun was excited, he still acted out the show to the end, pretending to be in trouble for a long time before agreeing to Cai Li and other Shanxi merchants not to leave for the time being. After temporarily stabilizing Xi Zhongxun, Cai Li and others hurriedly went to find Yan Xishan. Time is money to them now. If they waste more time, they will lose a business. They don't want to lose money. Waste a little bit. After finding Yan Xishan, Cai Li and others could not express their intentions directly, so they said in a roundabout way: "Sir Yan, there is a wave of anti-Japanese resistance in the country. It can be seen that the anti-Japanese trend is unstoppable. It is businessmen like us who contribute money to the country. Sir Yan." While businessmen are devoting themselves to the country, why has there been no movement from Chief Yan yet? " Shanxi merchants have always been Yan Xishan's biggest rich man, and they often keep in touch when they have time. Seeing them come together today, Yan Xishan said: It was a kind invitation, but they didn't expect Cai Li and others to say such things as soon as they opened their mouths. Yan Xishan knew Cai Li and others very well. This group of businessmen who had caught the eye of money did not care about anything else except money. Now, for the first time, they spoke out the words of resisting Japan and saving the country. If it weren't for the people standing in front of them. They were all familiar people, and he thought the Datong Party was looking for him. Cai Li and others were uncharacteristically uncharacteristic, and Yan Xishan naturally knew that it was unusual, so he deliberately said: "Boss Cai and boss Li seem to be in a good mood recently, and they are actually concerned about national affairs." How can it be done? After all, only a country has a home. If the country ceases to exist, wouldn¡¯t we ordinary businessmen become the meat of the Japanese? No one wants to live in that kind of life. " "Haha, that's true, look. Just look at the Northeastern people and the Northeastern Army today and you will know what will happen after the country falls." Yan Xishan also laughed. "Since Chief Yan knows this truth, why haven't he made preparations until now? You must know that once the Japanese army fully invades China, we in Shanxi and Suizhou will be the first to bear the brunt." They are not rich, and the barely equipped troops cannot stop the Japanese invaders." Yan Xishan sighed, this was almost the excuse that all the warlords in the country made for themselves. "We are all from the same hometown, and we all understand the difficulties that Chief Yan is facing, but this time, didn't the Datong Party openly ask for help from Chief Yan? Why didn't Chief Yan let them go and fight with the Japanese? You know, the only one who can still defeat the Japanese is , maybe there is only the Datong Party." Hearing this, a glimmer of light flashed in Yan Xishan's eyes. He was waiting for him here. Originally, he was wondering why Cai Li and others were acting out of normal. Now he finally knows where the crux is, Cai. Li and others are here to act as lobbyists for the Datong Party. But he is still very strange. He knows Cai Li and others very well. These people only have money in their eyes. How can they serve as lobbyists for the Datong Party? Could it be that they have been bribed by the Datong Party with money. This thought flashed through his mind, and Yan Xishan couldn't help but feel a cold sweat on his back. Cai Li and other Shanxi merchants were not ordinary cats and dogs. A small amount of money could not impress them at all. Now the Datong Party actually forced them to give lectures. The cost must have been a staggering amount. With so much money, the Datong Party could not only buy off Shanxi merchants such as Cai Li, but also the Shanxi-Sui Army in his hands. It¡¯s just that since he cooperated with the Datong Party, he has been carefulHe paid careful attention to everything. All the whereabouts of the Datong Party were in his intelligence network. Judging from the intelligence, the Datong Party should not have bribed Shanxi merchants and Shanxi-Sui officers. On the contrary, Shanxi merchants and Shanxi-Sui officers often Bribing the Datong Party is the right thing to do.
