Zhou Yun said: "If you are willing to give up, I am willing to ask for it at a high price."

The boss said: "Ten dollars per book!"

This is really high! Ordinary books retail for two or three yuan. In the 21st century, a book costs only ten yuan, compared to only 20 copper coins.

This is a good thing! In the Republic of China, books are more expensive than house prices.

In the early days of the Republic of China, the remuneration standards in China were different. The remuneration of official newspapers, magazines and academic journals in Peking could reach 4-5 silver dollars/thousand characters, while most of the publications in Shanghai were private, so the remuneration of general was 1-3 silver dollars/thousand characters. Lu Xun's articles were generally remuneration of 3 silver dollars/thousand characters, and at the same time, it was 5 silver dollars/thousand characters. For example, the remuneration of "Erxin Collection" was 6 silver dollars/thousand characters, which was considered a relatively high remuneration in Shanghai. The royalties formulated by the Shanghai publishing industry are generally between 10-25%. For example, Guo Moruo's royalties are 10%, Hu Shi's royalties are 15%, Lu Xun's royalties are 20%, and Liang Qichao's royalties are as high as 40%. He even proposed "self-printing, sales, and 6% discounts are settled."

Zhou Yun heard that a scholar had a monthly salary of 60 silver dollars. He worked as an assistant teacher at some universities in Peking and published some literary works. His class and royalties were both 5 silver dollars. In this case, his monthly income was about 100-120 silver dollars.

After reading his income, he looked at his expenses: the rent is only 5 silver dollars, and the monthly food expenses are only 10 silver dollars. The teak desk and teak bed in the room cost less than 10 silver dollars in total. It only takes 7 copper dollars from Jingshan Ximen to Dong'an Market by rickshaw (1 silver dollar equals 460 bronze dollars). Listen to Yang Xiaolou's play 1.2 silver dollars, Mei Lanfang, Cheng Yanqiu, Xun Huisheng and other famous actors, all of which are 1 silver dollars. Such consumption level means that an author can make a living by publishing 18,000 words a month.

Seeing the boss's expectant gaze, Zhou Yun admitted it.

"Okay! Ten oceans!"

The boss went into the house to find a book, and Zhou Yun moved ten oceans out of the storage compartment and held them in his hand.

Ten minutes later, the boss came out, his face covered in dark dust. I wonder where he found this book.

Zhou Yun took it over and saw that it was indeed a version released in the 20th year of the Republic of China.

After handing over ten dollars, Zhou Yun quickly left. He didn't want someone to point behind and said, "Look, I will sell it to that fool with ten dollars!"

When he returned home, Zhou Yun took out a piece of paper and wrote out the garbled telegram he had written down. Afterwards, he took out "New Xiepu Chao" as a codebook and translated it one by one.

It took fifteen minutes before Zhou Yun finally translated the telegram.

"Yellow croaker, I'm swimming to the other side!"

In addition to these words, the frequency wavelength of the other party is followed.

Zhou Yun understood that the front was the connection word of the connector, and the back was the other party’s radio wavelength.

After Zhou Yun thought about it carefully, he came to a safe room with a radio station and called back to the other party.

"Black cat fish, there are big prawns on the shore!"

Zhou Yun also sent out the band of his own radio station.

After sending the telegram, Zhou Yun sat in the basement and smoked a cigarette. He was waiting for the other party's call to reply.

Ten minutes later, the other party called back.

"Why haven't been home for a long time?"

What the other party said was why didn’t he get a message for a long time?

"The golden pompeo is dead! I've replaced it with the silver pompeo."

It means: Chen Kaixuan is dead, I am his client.

Zhou Yun doesn’t want to deceive the other party! Even if you cheat for a while, he will still know it. It’s better to say it now and see what the other party means. If he turns around, there is nothing he can do about it.

Ten minutes later, the other party sent a report again.

"How did the golden pompet die?"

Zhou Yun could not say that he was a traitor, so the other party would not believe it. After all, their relationship is more familiar and intimate than Zhou Yun.

"Killed by tuna!"

Tuna is Japanese.

The other party was suspicious: "How do you know?"

"He died in my arms!"

Zhou Yun means that I have a good relationship with him!

"Which of the three unifications are you?"

Zhou Yun responded: "Two barrels!"

The second barrel is the Central Government.

Then, the two agreed to contact each other at this time tomorrow night, and then closed the line.

The next night, Zhou Yun waited in the basement.

He asked Xiaofen to help, eliminated the location of this radio wave, and made it impossible to find out the specific location of this radio station.

Today, the other party sent a telegram and directly asked to dock and deliver the goods.

Zhou Yun told the other party that China's coastline is basically occupied by the Japanese. Except for one Hong Kong and one Macau, Macau is not suitable for going ashore, and the goods cannot be shipped after getting ashore. Once it is put on, it will be discovered. It is common for Japanese to go to Macau to search. In Hong Kong, there are many Japanese agents. Unless you don't dock, the Japanese will come once you dock, even the people from the Hong Kong and British governments will rob, and there are also the third-rate and nine religions in Hong Kong. When you get ashore in Hong Kong, you will definitely be eaten by people along with the cargo ship and the ship.

The other party paused for a while and asked what to do?

Zhou Yun called back: Wait! The only thing you can do now is wait! You can’t act rashly.

After contacting the telegram, the two agreed to suspend sending the telegram. If they wanted to find each other, they would invent the code telegram.

It’s not that Zhou Yun didn’t want the other party to dock, but that he felt a little distrust from the other party’s telegram. There was no such thing as this fast one. He picked up the head on the first day and asked to deliver the goods the next day. This obviously had a tentative meaning.

Zhou Yun is not in a hurry. As long as they are willing to hand over the goods to the Chinese government, it is the same if they are late or early. There is no need to be anxious. They are anxious that they cannot eat hot tofu.

The next day, Zhou Yun went to the Economic Management Office to check it out, and then went to work at the secret service office. When he brought today's newspaper, the phone rang.

The phone call was from Yukiji Yanze, saying that he had received a notice from the Gendarmerie Command and asked him to go to the Gendarmerie Command with Wuhan Iron and Steel for a meeting.

Zhou Yun went downstairs and just met Yukiji Yanze. The two of them drove their own cars and left the secret service one after another.

At the military police headquarters, Zhou Yun saw Ito Jingjie. After the two saluted Ito Jingjie, they sat on the left and right sides of Ito Jingjie.

When the Japanese orderly soldiers who were serving tea left, Ito Jingjie signaled a Japanese magistrate standing inside the gate to go out to guard the gate and no one was allowed to come in.

Ito said, "Our purpose of establishing a secret service is not to hope that you will catch trivial matters like you are now. Those unimportant anti-Japanese elements should not be your focus. You are the secret service. You must carry out special missions!"

Zhou Yun and Yukiji Yanze stood up and said, "Yes!"

Ito pressed down with his hand and signaled the two to sit down.

"From now on, the focus of the secret service's work will change."

Zhou Yun and Yukiji Yanze stood up again: "Yes!"

"The current situation is very good! However, the Imperial Army is at a critical moment. It is difficult for the national army to defend the Yangtze River Basin below Wuhan, so they are defeated quickly and our army will attack quickly. But after taking Wuhan, our army's offensive was blocked. Going forward, it is Chongqing, the capital of the Chinese government. There are steep rivers and the Imperial Army's warships cannot enter the river section. There are mountains and peaks on both sides. The Imperial Army's first attack ended in failure. So, that is a hard bone."

Zhou Yun and Yukiji Yanzawa's eyes remained on the map behind Ito.

Ito Jingjie said: "The navy cannot do it! The army cannot do it! Only the air force can fly to Chongqing. But it can only fly in the sky and cannot go down. The experts at the base analyzed that it will take several years to win Chongqing! The funds spent will be a sky-high price."
