Chapter 151 Where does the money come from

As soon as Zhang Xuewu heard Zhou Ying's frank meeting, the night before the Battle of Rehe sounded. Zhou Ying hugged herself and asked to have a child for herself? How ridiculous it seems? Now Zhou Ying seems to blush a little when she mentions it, but after all, she is the manager of the Bailemen Ballroom. She is well-informed on this cover, and it is effortless to deal with Zhang Xuewu, a psychological and physiological pupa.

Zhang Xuewu returned to his desk and said, "Does the so-called special goods refer to opium? Although there are few poor people in Rehe, as long as you find a way, it is possible not to grow opium! Opium harms the country and the people. It is inevitable for me to ban the tobacco cigarette house in Rehe!"

Zhou Ying smiled helplessly and said, "It's a small matter for you to ban the smokehouse. You are the commander of the Tiger Ben Legion and the chairman of Rehe Province. This is your words. I ask you how to settle the livelihood of more than 700,000 smokers in Rehe? The livelihoods of their families and people in the processing industry? If there is at least 80 million cigarettes a year in Rehe Tong Province, may I ask you what Commander Zhang will do to raise soldiers? Is Nanjing Zheng Axe specially approved 400,000 yuan per month? Even if your cousin subsidizes 100,000 yuan a month, I'm afraid it's a drop in the bucket! Yan Xishan in Shanxi, Chen Jitang in Guangzhou, Li Zongren in Guangxi, Liu Wenhui in Sichuan, etc., including your Shaoshuo Zhang of the Northeast Army, how to raise troops without opium? How to buy arms? Do you think the special goods refer to salt?

Zhou Ying paused and said, "Commander Zhang, do you know how much salt there is in 1.2 million oceans? How much salt do you need for open-pit mines or sea farms? Shaanxi and Shanxi are short of salt, and the two provinces do not produce much salt, all of which are transported by Shandong. Even at a high price, it is impossible to earn millions a year.

Zhang Ying's words suddenly reminded Zhang Xuewu that someone in later generations slandered an army for growing opium in Nanniwan. Zhang Xuewu remembered that the first report on this matter was the full-page headline of the People's Daily, and then someone explained that the so-called special goods of nearly two million oceans were actually salt! Since the small Nanniwan can produce so much salt, it's better to sell salt than to grow opium, right?

And there are also a lot of salt mines in Rehe, but Zhou Ying's introduction made Zhang Xuewu a little ashamed. It seems that he was too considerate before. If he really breaks the tobacco livelihood of Rehe Tong Province, I'm afraid he will give himself a major riot in the unified province. The people in this era are not used to your steamed buns, especially planting. Almost all smokers have fast gun homes in their homes.

After the Battle of Rehe, Zhang Xuewu once heard the grass-roots officers below talk. Dozens of Japanese cavalry pulled horse grass in a village. As a result, he was found by a teenager. When he went home to get a gun, he was about to shoot. As a result, he was found by the elders and slapped. If this was in another place, the elders would definitely tell the younger generation that this was the emperor. The army! You can't fight. You have to die for your life!

The place of Rehe is not as louder than that of Shandong, nor of Guandong. This place is as strong as the northwest. The elders directly told the younger generation that there are more than 30 soldiers. Can you kill them with one gun? Hurry back to find someone and go to the intersection ahead to ambush them. They all collapsed!

As a result, more than 30 Japanese cavalry did not run away. Such things always happen in various places in Rehe, which also directly led to the outbreak of many Japanese military massacres.

So Zhang Xuewu, a smoker in Rehe, really can't afford to provoke him, and Zhang Xuewu is the most short of money at this moment. He said that he slipped back to Liaoning like a dog with a tail, and the two armies returned to the pre-war form. Zhang Xuewu knew that he hated him at this moment. He gritted his teeth with hatred, so his delay was to prepare for war. To prepare for war, he needed to train troops, buy equipment, training exercises, etc., and all of this was inseparable from money.

Zhang Xuewu all had a feeling that he seemed to fall into the eyes of money. After a moment of hesitation, Zhang Xuewu said to Zhou Ying, "I want to know where your opium products are distributed?"

Zhou Ying smiled and said, "In fact, there are three ways. The first is opium traffickers, which are generally made of longevity cream, slices, sugar and so on. The other is to be sold to opium restaurants for smoking. The second is to purify and make more high-end and more expensive heroin to make huge profits in Southeast Asia, Europe and the United States. Domestic people There are few that can afford it. They are generally high-end and high-quality customers. The last one is the highest profit, but it requires a certain foundation and strength, that is, it is purified and reprocessed into morphine. This is a kind of hydrochloride or sulfate commonly used. It belongs to opium alkaloid, which is a strategic material, so all countries carry out it. Reserve, but the cultivation and sale of opium is illegal in many countries, especially in European countries, so if you want to maximize the potential value of opium, it is to purify and produce analgesic drugs such as morphine for legal trafficking. The residues after purification can also be reused, which is the highest choice for surname-price ratio.

Zhang Xuewu was a little surprised and said, "Isn't it possible to minimize the harm of opium?"

Zhou Ying smiled helplessly and said, "Commander Zhang, this requires a doorway and strong industrial strength. Do you know how many people in China are smoking opium? How to quit in a short period of time? For domestic tobacco dealers, self-production and self-sale is the choice of almost most people, and it is also the only way out! You should know that the official smoke decal tax levied by the National Political Axe every year is as much as 40 million. Combined with the total amount of opium transactions of large and small warlord factions across the country, I'm afraid it can be several times higher than the income of the National Political Axe. Where did your Northeast Army get such rich money? Tang Yulin dared to tax it to 30 years later, and Rehe still did not become a dead place with no chickens singing in the red land? I don't need to talk about many of them in detail, do I?

Zhang Xuewu took a deep breath and seemed to make up his mind: "If you can really not distribute it in China, I can underwrite all the opium of Rehe to you, and even expand the scale of planting!" But I hope you don't lie to me on this issue!"

Zhou Ying also said cautiously, "I understand the harm. If the hot river smoke floods in China, the price of smoke is bound to fall, which is not good for us. It will also affect Zhang Zhi's reputation and reputation, and will also affect the long-term cooperation between us in the future!"

Zhang Xuewu stared at Zhou Ying and said, "Do you still need long-term cooperation? Do you think that the ancestors of the Zhang family can't close their eyes in the sky?

Zhou Ying was also slightly stunned after listening to Zhang Xuewu's words. The old Zhang family's bandit beard was only a second generation. The real one who made a fortune was only Zhang Zuolin. She used to be an authentic poor man. It is no exaggeration to say that there was no overnight food at home. Where did there be called a sage? However, this can only be slandered. When Zhang Xuewu slandered his ancestors, Zhou Ying did not have the courage. You should know that Zhang Xuewu was a decisive person to kill him. The end that made him angry was the same as himself. He held a miserable soul meeting in Fengtian and Xinjing every day to pay tribute to the fallen soldiers, and to transport the ashes.

Since the most important thing has been finalized, Zhou Ying is ready to plan for herself for the rest of her time. A woman works hard outside and is nothing at all. A careful look will make people swallow bones. Zhou Ying is very clear about this. So a woman is destined to find a man as her backer.

For women, there are only two kinds of men. One is a stepping stone that they can use each other, and the other is to marry a good man who is honest with him. People always say that insipid is the truth, but they don't notice that this sentence is not prepared for the people at all. It is a big wind and waves** consumption. Only a person is qualified to say a word! Zhou Ying's ** has obviously just been ignited. Zhang Xuewu is very in line with her requirements for men. The powerful faction of the power control side and the lieutenant general of the Central Army, as long as Zhang Xuewu has soldiers in his hands, he can have a glorious day.

In Zhou Ying's opinion, such a man is not worth the attention of women, so what kind of man is worth it?

Just as Zhou Ying's delicate body accidentally leaned on Zhang Xuewu, the refreshing fragrance had just dispersed. After looking at each other, Zhang Xuewu's hand unconsciously reached into the hem of Zhou Ying's cheongsam. Zhou Ying's plump chest was attached to Zhang Xuewu's chest, which made Zhang Xuewu sigh that the waves were surging.

Huang Tao rushed in with a telegram in a hurry. When he encountered this embarrassing scene, Huang Tao didn't even raise his head and said, "You guys are busy. I put the telegram here. The secret telegram of the Nanjing Supreme Military Commission. Commander, you move quickly. Beiping said back. They arranged for the plane to heat up. The river will pick you up. I'll ask the engineering regiment to clean up the field airport.

Zhang Xuewu stared at Huang Tao fiercely and said, "Men at such a critical moment as me, remember to say no, let alone hurry up! Do you understand?"

Huang Tao waved his hand with a smile and ran away. Hearing the secret telegram from the Nanjing Supreme Military Commission, Zhou Ying also cleverly went aside to tidy up his clothes. After reading the telegram, Zhang Xuewu hesitated and said, "Miss Zhou, can you go back to Shanghai?"

Zhou Ying nodded slightly and said, "Of course! There are many things that can't be made clear by phone and telegram. Besides, I don't know how many people are listening to it on a telephone line!"

Zhang Xuewu smiled and said, "The Nanjing Supreme Military Commission appointed me as the deputy commander of the China Armistice Negotiation Group. He asked me to leave for Shanghai a few days after receiving the phone call. Since the transfer is on the way, please allow me to give you a ride!"

Zhou Ying blinked her eyes. Zhang Xuewu's move made her a little confused. She hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm afraid it won't affect me to take Commander Zhang's special plane? I think I'd better forget it."

Zhang Xuewu smiled and said, "You are now my god of wealth. How can I bear to let you work hard? Besides, I'm afraid that you are not the only one on Miss Zhou's side. There is still a gentleman's agreement between you and me, and I also make a statement! It's a letter and a reputation, and it's settled!"
