Chapter 77 Salt and Grain (2)

The second in commander Han Qi glared at him fiercely, and blamed Liu Yunbiao for agreeing to borrow grain and salt. But when Uncle Guo and Xiaole both turned their eyes on Dachun and waited for Dachun to speak about the specific amount, he knew that no matter how he opposed it, the people in Baishishan would take away the grain and salt today.

"We want to borrow 5,000 kilograms of grain and 50 kilograms of salt." Perhaps because the number is too large, Dachun was embarrassed to speak and asked Nengzhu to tell him the number.

"How many?" The second headmaster opened his mouth wide in shock, as if he couldn't believe that Dachun and the others would say such a large number.

The third head of the army was silent. He lowered his head and said nothing more; Uncle Guo turned his head outside the door and did not make a sound. However, Xiaole did not think that the amount was very large. When Wu Fei was injured, Zoumayi grabbed food, she clearly remembered that there were more than 20,000 kilograms of grain back to the mountain. The second head of the army was excited at that time and said that he was not worried about the lack of food on the mountain for a year.

Xiaole didn't know what the concept of 5,000 kilograms of grain was. She only knew that so much food could be taken out on the mountain, and it was no problem to take out a portion of the same amount. However, the reactions of Uncle Guo and the Third Head and the Second Head made her a little surprised. Since she was planning to lend it to others, why do she still care about this not a large amount?

"Dear bosses, please listen to my explanation." Dachun understood that now is the most important juncture for borrowing grain. If he could not convince Uncle Guo and the others, then waiting for the villagers and the Baishishan guerrillas would be an extremely severe test. Without food and salt, anything else would be empty talk and meaningless. Captain Wu's situation that changed after several years of operation would collapse in an instant. For the sake of his livelihood, the people would definitely make a living.

He would be willing to live under the enslavement of the Japanese. "The reason why I borrowed 5,000 kilograms of grain is because Zhaojiazhuang has more than 300 villagers, and the villagers rescued from Xiao Wangzhuang and several other villages. There are more than 700 people in Baishishan, but the stored grain is less than 500 kilograms. Now the 500 kilograms of grain is no longer able to move, and it is reserved for seeds. But even if we don't eat a single grain of grain, we cannot meet the needs of arable land, which means that it is not enough for growing grain."

"It's spring now, but fortunately there are a lot of wild vegetables to dig, so it won't starve to death. But after a while, it's really hard to say. We went to the surrounding villages to find some big families to borrow food, but when they heard that our people came, they were so scared that they all stayed away. Not only were they, but even some of the villages that were originally close to us, now they were more scared than seeing the Japanese. It seemed that we were the plague gods. They only raised a few hundred kilograms of grain, which was far from enough to support the villagers to survive."

Dachun was eager to touch Uncle Guo and the others, but the more anxious he was, the less he could not tell what he wanted to say in his heart. Uncle Guo and the others did not move, but Xiaole on the big chair in the middle seemed to have some feelings.

"A few people in charge, we don't talk about these five thousand kilograms of grain by randomly. One thousand kilograms should be used for growing grain. The remaining four thousand kilograms of grain is more than 700 people. On average, each person is not much grain per day. However, we put together some wild vegetables and trees to make everyone live."

"We are not in vain for a few leaders. We will return the five thousand kilograms of grain immediately after the summer harvest." Nengzhu couldn't bear to Dachun begging alone and helped persuade him. The meaning he said was that Dachun had already expressed it before, and it was the one that Guo and the others didn't believe the most.

"Captain Zhao, even if as you said, food is used to save lives, do you think that when the planted food is harvested in the summer, the Japanese will not watch it, so that you can collect the food with peace of mind? Once the Japanese come down to grab the food, do you have the ability to stop it?"

The second in commander Han Qi said this coldly, and immediately blocked Dachun and Nengzhu.

What people say is the fact that the Japanese cannot let the people harvest food. Since the Japanese occupied them, every summer harvest and autumn harvest, they often go to the countryside to sweep, so they will not care about the lives and death of the people after the food is robbed.

With the current strength of the Baishishan guerrillas, it is impossible to stop the Japanese, that is to say, they cannot repay the borrowed food at all.

If you take something that cannot be done as a promise to borrow food, no one would agree.

Although Han Qi, the second leader, did not say it thoroughly, no one else was present except Xiaole.

"Captain Zhao, what our second leader said is not unreasonable. Let's do this. In the case of your and my divisions fighting side by side, in the case of your Captain Zhao being dedicated to serving the people, we will give you 1,000 kilograms of grain and 20 kilograms of salt in Ermashan. You can go down the mountain if you take it." Guo's boss did not ask Xiaole's opinion, nor did he obtain the consent of Han Qi and Liu Yunbiao, and directly sent out the grain and salt, but there was still a big gap from Zhao Dachun and the others' needs. However, there was another very important point in Uncle Guo's words, that is, this thousand kilograms of grain and 20 kilograms of salt was given to Baishishan and there was no need to repay it.

"Dachun is deeply grateful to the villagers for his kindness. Only one thousand kilograms of grain and twenty kilograms of salt is really not enough. I beg everyone, to lend us five thousand kilograms of grain." Dachun insisted on the amount he wanted to borrow, and insisted on letting go, as if he would not give up until he borrowed grain and salt.

"Don't you think it's too much? Our Master Guo kindly gave you food, which is the most righteous. If you want, take people away, don't get out of here. If you really treat Ermashan as a soft persimmon, you can just take as much as you want?" Han Qi was a little angry. According to his opinion, the best result was not to give a pound of grain.

"Second leader, you misunderstood. We did not have the idea of ​​blackmailing a grain of grain in Ermashan, but we were just borrowing grain from everyone in Ermashan." Asking someone to borrow grain was a humble job, and it was normal to get angry. Dachun was not angry because of the merciless words of the 2nd leader, but explained patiently.

"Hmph, are there any loans or no repayments?" The second instructor continued to sing. Uncle Guo, Liu Yunbiao and Xiaole, who are not familiar with the world, are willing to give food, so he can only be the evil person.

"If you borrow, you will pay it back!" Dachun suddenly stood up. He now understood that Guo, the third and Xiaole were willing to lend him food, but the second company was still struggling with whether to repay the food or not. If he did not give a statement that he could repay the food on time, he might not be able to borrow the food.

"A joke, can you still use your mouth?"

"The Second Head, of course we are paying back the food. Are you worried that we will not be able to deal with the Japanese's mobilization during the summer harvest? Then I want to tell the leaders now that we can rest assured that this is true. In three months, we will have a regular main force entering Laiyuan. When the Japanese dare to come and grab the food, I will guarantee that they will never return."

Dachun had already made a mistake and did not receive organizational permission, so he rashly told the military secret that the district independent regiment would return to Laiyuan after three months of training.
