Three hundred and eighty-ninth chapter make a stumbling child

The news that locusts can eat has spread. No one knows whether the people in Henan can have enough food, but the fat man is not calm at all at this moment because he did not expect the trouble to come so quickly.

Uncle Song recently took a batch of things to Wushan Town. Gu Tongfang managed the place well, so he became a little famous on the Japanese's list of killings.

But what happened next made the fat man unable to let go, because the water army actually cut off their supplies.

"Uncle Song, where did you get this information?"

Holding a piece of paper in his hand, the fat man asked with a serious expression, and the latter answered very simply:

"This is what Gu Tongfang gave me directly, and the Jinsui Army has also made a statement that given the good situation recently, the previous cooperation agreement was terminated, so our supplies were cut off!"

Originally, Gu Tong helped the Jinsui Army to withstand the Japanese in front of him, and the Jinsui Army also provided a lot of supplies, and sometimes the Central Army was willing to provide supplies.

But now it is different. When all parties see that the situation is good, the Japanese will not make too many moves in the future, so they want to tear up the agreement. Therefore, the direction of Wushan Town is isolated.

Gu Tongfang had to ask Huangshui Town for help because he had not received any supplies for a long time, which made the little fat man look cold.

"Grandma, these bastards are burning bridges when they cross the river, and what is their chief thinking? The Japanese are not attacking now because they have been preparing.

The train on Shitai Road has never stopped and has been transporting supplies continuously for the next big action.

I don't believe that the commander of the National Government in Xi'an is full of shit in his mind, and he can't even see this thing."

There are very few fools in China. It is precisely because there are too many smart people that they are not unified in their ideas and cannot unite, so they are beaten to the door of their homes by the Japanese.

Song Yi also sighed, and while sitting down, he poured himself and Li Feng a cup of tea.

"These people just don't want to come up with these weapons and equipment. They think that the current form is good and can save money. It's normal for short-sightedness."

It makes sense for these people to do this for a little profit, but the fat man doesn't believe that no one in the government army knows that doing so will cause great losses?

After thinking about it carefully, the fat man really discovered something. He sat on his grandmaster chair, took out a cigarette and lit it. His eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the teapot directly in front of him...

"I think I might know why they did it..."

"Well……"

Song Yi raised his head and looked at him, not understanding what this fat man was talking about at all.

...

The so-called cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents. This statement has not changed since ancient times, especially for some black businessmen, which is more applicable.

For example, in such a place, in a room, several people seemed to be discussing something. One of them held something like a folder and said slowly:

"According to preliminary estimates, the number of locusts acquired by Li Feng's troops in Huangshui Town exceeded 5 million kilograms, which is not counted as the amount acquired by other Eighth Route Army troops.

And most importantly, they have ground these locusts into powder. If they are stored properly, the locust powder can be stored for three years, and there is no problem with food..."

After saying that, the man stepped back, and the group of people sitting around the table looked so dark and scary, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

"This Li Feng is really abominable. He actually acquired so many locusts in advance. The most important thing is that he actually spread the news that locusts can eat everywhere."

"Yes, my people were already planning to go to the countryside to buy locusts, and they could even trade food for food, but I don't know who reported that locusts are more expensive than food, so the exchange rate suddenly turned over, causing us to lose a lot!"

"The Ministry of Military Affairs has confirmed that locust powder does have the effect of treating night blindness, and even long-term use can strengthen the body. It has now been listed as military supplies, and all military forces have to purchase these things."

A large number of news was told by a group of people. In short, judging from the previous situation where a pound of coarse grain could match ten to twenty kilograms of locust powder, these people would definitely make a big profit.

First, take back the locusts from the people at a low price, and then sell these things to the troops at a high price, which will bring huge benefits from them.

However, there is a very important premise for doing this, that is, information asymmetry.

They know about this matter but the people don’t know it. Information asymmetry can help them gain greater benefits.

But now the situation is reversed. Some people spread the news, so that the common people know that locusts are a good thing and are unwilling to sell them at a low price. A pound of grain can't be exchanged for ten pounds of locust powder now.

Ordinary people are not fools, so why should good things be sold at low prices?

Some people were stunned at this moment. They thought they could make a big profit, but who would have thought that the situation would become like this, which would make them less money.

They also found out the source of this incident. The news was released by the Eighth Route Army. The most important thing is that the Eighth Route Army also made a sound attack, fearing that others would not know the role of the locusts. They would magnify the news infinitely when they suppressed it first and then rose it, so that they could not even hold it back now.

The fundamental reason for all this is the Tu Eighth Route Army in Huangshui Town, to be precise, the man named Li Feng.

A month ago, no one believed that locusts could be used as food, but now? I believe many people would not suspect that yellow species would be extinct. After all, ordinary people would not let go of anything that can be eaten, even if this thing is a bug.

"Now the locusts in our hands are less than one-third of the Li Feng's troops in Huangshui Town. If the Ministry of Military Affairs wants to purchase this thing, the first thing that comes to mind must be him!"

"Damn it, this terrible person dares to block our way!"

A group of people cursed Li Feng with gritted teeth, but they had no choice but to go to the door to grab it, so they could only make some trips in secret.

"I have already greeted the people from the Ministry of Military Affairs and cut off some of their supplies. Their food and salary will not be supplied. When their bullets are finished, it will be time for us to take action.

Everyone, please prepare the money. We must get the locust powder. This money is not something that the Tujiaolu can earn."

This is how capitalists think they can control everything, but in fact they ignore a huge loophole, that is, it is the era of war, and having guns and cannons in their hands is the bottom line, not to mention, there is also a very uncertain factor...
