Chapter 20 Now Stepping Forward from the Start 18

Since his rebirth, his parents have been extremely kind to Li Qinglin. Li Qinglin can feel the warmth of family affection at all times. He has regarded them as his true relatives from the bottom of his heart. His mother Liu Xiuzhen especially loves Li Qinglin. The first thing he has to dot at home is to be close to Li Qinglin, and sometimes even reaches the level of spoiling.

In Li Qinglin's eyes, his mother is gentle, kind, kind, thrifty and capable. How could such a rural woman fight with others?

During dinner, Li Qinglin asked his mother what was going on. The mother smiled faintly and said, "Isn't it just a small oriental nose? That guy looks very wild, but in fact he is not beaten at all!"

Early this morning, Liu Xiuzhen took Wei Sanya to the town to sell yarn and buy cotton. Today is cloudy. Although it is already spring in the second day of the lunar month, the temperature is still very low. The north wind is blowing in the wilderness, and people who go out shrank their heads and covered themselves tightly.

The largest cotton supplier in the town is Changsheng Warehouse. The last thing Liu Xiuzhen did today was to buy lint at Changsheng Warehouse.

Before arriving at Changsheng Warehouse, Liu Xiuzhen was in a happy mood because the price of cotton yarn has risen today, and it has also risen a lot. Liu Xiuzhen estimated in her mind that the cotton yarn sold this time earned more than 100 more copper gardens.

But when I arrived at Changsheng Warehouse, I asked about the price of lint, and Liu Xiuzhen's joy turned into depression. Because the price of lint has risen, and it has not been an ordinary increase, forty kilograms of lint has increased by a ocean. If we calculate based on the current cotton price and veil price, the cotton I bought this time would earn more than 100 less copper circles. According to the boss of Changsheng Warehouse Station, the price of cotton may also increase because there are large merchants from the north who have purchased a large amount of cotton.

Liu Xiuzhen couldn't control whether there were any big customers coming to collect flowers, but her income had obviously shrunk due to the arrival of the big customers, which caused Liu Xiuzhen to suffer the most direct loss.

Of course, whether a large customer comes or not is not something that Liu Xiuzhen can control. Even if the price of cotton rises, it is still necessary to buy cotton. When Liu Xiuzhen paid money at Changsheng Warehouse and went out with the cotton, the large customer who purchased cotton came and said that it would be a big customer who bought cotton!

This big customer has a very special origin. He is the representative of the Big East Asia Trading Company of North Tsinchu.

If this season is not the peak season for cotton purchases, the main business variety of the Great East Asia Trading Company in the Tsincheng is not cotton, but Ichiro Nogawa still braved the cold and rushed to Wan'an County to collect cotton. Due to Ichiro Nogawa's large-scale acquisitions, the price of local lint is rising steadily.

Ichiro Nokawa raised the acquisition price, which did not mean that he was a great charity who came to send money to the Chinese. He had only one purpose, that is, the 29th Route Army, which was stationed on the Pingjin front line!

Nokawa is a ronin in Japan, and he is not a businessman in China now, but he works as a security and fat-keeping business in the Great East Asia Trading Company of Tianjin.

In the early days of the Republic of China, Japan accelerated its pace of economic aggression against China, opened factories and established trading companies in slightly rich places in China. Therefore, Japanese people can be seen in all large and medium-sized cities in China. Japanese factories and trading companies in China inevitably had conflicts with China, so the idle gangsters in Japan had the opportunity to re-employment and were selected to work as bodyguards and other jobs in China. Ranto Nokawa was one of them.

The institution Nokawa serves in China is the Great East Asia Trading Company of the Tsinchu, but the Great East Asia Trading Company is not a real commercial organization. It is a small subordinate agency of a spy agency in the Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters, code-named "Ito Agency"!

The 29th Route Army purchased summer clothes in a large scale, and the Japanese secret service agencies would certainly not let go of this information. During the Republic of China, local armies were in the hands of local forces and even the National Government could not interfere. For example, the 29th Army only followed the command of the commander Song Zheyuan, and his army was equivalent to his private property.

How many soldiers are there in the 29th? What is their strength? What is their strategic focus in the future?

Most people will not care about these issues, but for the Ito mechanism, this is intelligence! For the Japanese Army, which is sharpening, this intelligence means when the war will happen and whether the results will be huge! For the battlefield commanders, this means the number of casualties of the Imperial soldiers and whether they will increase after the war!

The military army in the Republic of China generally had the habit of vain salary, which is also well known to everyone. Some companies had only seventy or eighty people, but the list of reports was 100 or dozens. Sometimes the actual number of many troops was not even clear about the highest commander. If you want to know the most realistic number and organization of the 29th Army, the most reliable way is to understand its military demand. The 29th Army had no money, and the military commander could only prepare one set of materials like military uniforms. As long as you know the number of military uniforms, the number of personnel in the entire army would be almost 100.

Therefore, the Ito agency commissioned the Greater East Asia trading company to do two things: one is to find out the amount of cotton and cotton yarn required to make summer military uniforms in various places, and calculate the number of military uniforms required; the other is to take out appropriate amounts of funds to purchase cotton at high prices, causing a sharp increase in the price of cotton cotton yarn, which directly increases the cost of purchasing military uniforms by the 29th Army. It should be noted that the pitiful military expenses of the 29th Army also include the money for purchasing guns and ammunition. The 29th Army spent more money on military uniforms and less money on buying guns and cannons.

Since he came to China, Nokawa has felt ascended from hell to heaven, and he is particularly proud of his current job.

In Japan, he often walks on the streets drunk when he is idle. Although people are hiding from him, he can see people's disdain for him. Therefore, in Japan, he looks very unruly, but in fact he feels very inferior. Now it's different. As long as he takes out the name of a Japanese, nods and officials, he nods and bows to him, and he feels like being a noble in Japan. Even though he injured a patrolman while drunk last month, the trading company later took the money.

Nokawa has no culture and is very irritable, so he is not suitable for intelligence collection. However, the number of customized military uniforms in the 29th Army was too large, and the location was particularly scattered. The club did not have enough staff, so he had to drive the ducks to put them on the shelves and sent him.

Nokawa was in a very good mood this morning. He had completed both tasks of the business community, and the Chinese woman served her very well last night, and he was particularly satisfied with the trip.

Today I was about to go back with cotton. Things went so smoothly that Nokawa could imagine that he could get a reward when he returned. Nokawa was very excited, so he asked the woman to boil a pot of wine early in the morning, and he drank a few taels of Chinese liquor beautifully.

The Chinese food is so good, and the Chinese wine is so good!

Since he arrived in China, Nokawa has fallen in love with these. Now he doesn’t like Japanese cuisine at all. Isn’t it just a few cold rice dumplings and a few slices of sashimi shredded lettuce? There are also Japanese sake, which is sour and not too long. Compared with Chinese wine, it is simply clear water. I really don’t understand why I ate those things before; but Chinese wine is really strong, and the alcohol is so strong that it gets so fast.

In order to show his Japanese identity, Nokawa specially wore a kimono; in order to show his samurai status, he inserted a samurai sword; in order to show his temperament, he rode his own high-headed oriental horse.

Nokawa's horse ran very fast, and the Chinese translator who followed him couldn't keep up and could not keep up. Looking at the pedestrians hiding on the roadside, Nokawa smiled contemptuously: You Chinese pigs, the Japanese Imperial Army will soon kill you all!

At this moment, he suddenly saw Liu Xiuzhen and Wei Sanya carrying cotton out of the Changsha Hut Freight Shop. Yesterday, Nokawa had bought the cotton from Changsha Hut Freight Shop. Now these two women are still carrying cotton out. Where did the cotton come from? These two people are either thieves and stole his cotton; or the boss of the freight station stole and sold his cotton!

Nokawa rushed up angrily, and he quickly whipped his horse to Liu Xiuzhen and Wei Sanya, and the whip rushed towards him with the sound of the wind.

"Baga! You Chinese pigs and thieves! You dare to steal the cotton from our Great Japanese Imperial Army. You deserve to die!" Nokawa was furious and regardless of whether others could understand Japanese or not, he started to curse in Japanese loudly.

The whip was whipped at Liu Xiuzhen. Liu Xiuzhen had already realized that the visitor was not good and was ready when the horse rushed to the front. When the whip came, she lowered her head, and the whip was lost with the sound of the wind!

These damn Chinese pigs actually avoided the whip of the Japanese samurai! Nokawa was so angry that he immediately whipped the second whip again, this time he was whipping at Wei Sanya.
