Chen Dasan agreed to the grain merchants' request and quickly contacted the intermediary.

Through the intermediary, Chen's request was quickly fed back to the Mei agency.

After receiving the news, the intelligence chief Hikojiro Suga quickly found Ken Inukai, and then the two of them came to Kagesaki's office together.

Ying Zuozhenzhao has been very busy recently. On the one hand, he is busy welcoming Wang Jingwei to Shanghai, and on the other hand, he has to follow the Operations Department all the time. The secret battle between the Military Control Commission and the Military Control Commission in the concession No. 76, and the military will send a note every now and then, asking them to cooperate with the military to carry out some special operations, so he really feels like he is unable to do anything recently.

"I will only give you five minutes!" Kagesaki Yasuo raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and said, "In five minutes, I will rush to the Marine Corps Command to meet the personnel from the 731 unit in Shanghai with General Okawauchi."

Suga Yoshijiro and Inukai looked at each other and said, "Colonel, this is the case. The Chen family, who had cooperated with the Imperial Army before, joined forces with more than a dozen grain merchants to make a grain dominant market, but now they are defeated by Zhong Yi, so they found the Imperial Army and hope that the Imperial Army can provide help."

Inuka Ken said: "If the Chen family can help the grain tyrants to form a grain tyrant, it will undoubtedly greatly disrupt the economic order of Yinjiang and cause great trouble to Zhong Yi. This is undoubtedly beneficial to the Imperial Army, because the slower Zhong Yi's work in Yinjiang City will be, the smaller the resistance will be when the Imperial Army attacks Yinjiang in the future."

Ying Zuozhenao said: "Tell me, how much does it cost to become a food dominant market?"

Ken Inukai said: "Information shows that Zhong Yi ordered 200,000 tons of corn from the United States, and the price for public sale is half a cent per catty. It takes about 2 million silver dollars to buy all of them. Considering that when someone eats a lot, the price of grain will definitely rise, so at least 5 million silver dollars is needed, which is about 5 million yen."

"Five million may not be enough." Suga Yoshijiro said, "In order to become a grain dominant, the Chen family and the more than a dozen grain merchants they cooperated with have borrowed 2 million yuan in usury from the money house. Now the principal and interest have dropped to nearly 3 million yuan. They hope that the Imperial Army can help them overcome the difficulties."

Kagesaki Shiaki pondered and said, "Inukai, and Suga, do you think you can borrow this money?"

"I think it can be borrowed." Inuyangjian said without thinking, "Because Yinjiang will be captured by the Imperial Army sooner or later, there is no need to worry about not being able to recover the capital. In other words, this is a good deal that can make a profit but not lose money!"

Suga Yoshijiro echoed: "I don't understand economics, but I believe I agree with Inukaikun's judgment."

"Yo Xi!" Ying Zuo Zhenao nodded happily and said, "Then you go to the Finance Department to pay the money."

"Hayi!" Suga Yoshijiro and Inoka Ken held their feet at the same time, and then they slapped their heads hard.

...

In a blink of an eye, two days passed.

The thick snow has begun to melt slowly, and the construction sites that have been on hold for nearly a month have become lively again. The landfill project in Yinjiang New District has been rolled out again, and the construction projects of Zhaobaoshan and Jinjishan Fortress have also been launched again, because at this time, the first batch of ash ordered by Zhong Yi from the United States has arrived in the port.

Zhang Yuanxi walked in with a folder and handed it to Zhong Yi and said, "Mayor, please approve this money."

In private occasions, Zhang Yuanxi usually calls Zhong Yi as his brother-in-law or Zi Ren, but in public, he is called the mayor.

Zhong Yi opened the folder, but it was made of hardware materials, the amount was as high as one million. Zhang Yuanxi said: "Because the amount of the money is too large, the Finance Bureau must sign your handwritten signature."

This is Zhong Yi’s rule. He took out his fountain pen and signed it with his name.

Zhang Yuanxi took the approval and said, "By the way, mayor, what about the hundreds of thousands of free labor service I mentioned before?"

"Don't worry, it's almost done." Zhong Yi smiled and said, "At most half a month."

"Half a month?" Zhang Yuanxi smiled slightly when he heard this, but thought to himself, I believe you, a big-headed ghost.

Watching Zhang Yuanxi leave, Zhong Yi subconsciously rub his bare chin. Before leaving the door in the morning, Zhang Manyi shaved him personally, and it felt very pleasant to touch him.

At this moment, Cao Ziying suddenly came in and said with a flattering look: "Mayor, there is something wrong!"

"What's the situation?" Zhong Yi asked casually, but he was bored thinking, would he go to the construction site of Baoshan Fortress later and then go to see the students in the officer class?

No matter what, Zhong Yi is also the head teacher of the officer squad.

Cao Ziying said: "There are suddenly a lot of mud legs coming from the train station, and they are rushing to buy corn!"

"Snap to buy corn?" Zhong Yi turned around and said in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

"That's right." Cao Ziying swallowed and said, "According to your instructions from the mayor, we sent patrol police to guard Jiangbei Railway Station for 24 hours. First, we should maintain order on the scene and second, we should monitor the sales of corn. Each person is limited to purchase 50 kilograms per day. Those who exceed 50 kilograms will be fined!"

Zhong Yi sneered: "You didn't pay any fines, are you?"

"The conscience of heaven and earth." Cao Ziying swears, "To this day, there is still a ticket not issued? Mayor, you have to believe me. Lao Cao and my patrol officers have really changed their minds. In the future, we will follow you, work diligently and sincerely to serve the elders of Yinjiang!"

"I believe in you." Zhong Yi said, "What's going on?"

"That's right." Cao Ziying said, "In fact, there have been signs since last night. Most of the villagers came from nearby towns. Very few citizens in the city bought fifty kilograms, usually only ten kilograms or five kilograms. However, all of these villagers bought fifty kilograms. And early this morning, these villagers came again and had to buy fifty kilograms!"

After pausing, Cao Ziying continued, "I feel very suspicious. Especially the Chen family and the grain merchants who secretly colluded with them came to secretly eat corn! In this way, we can't sell them!"

"I understand." Zhong Yi said, "You go back and keep watching, but you can't stop them from buying grain. What if their family is really waiting for the corn to be put into the pot? If you don't let them buy it, will their family have to go hungry?"

"Yes." Cao Ziying stood up attentively, then turned around and left in a flash.

Watching Cao Ziying leave, Zhong Yi rang the bell and called Zhou Baoyu in, and ordered: "Secretary-General Zhou, call Xiaogang Zhao's family immediately..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhao Xingjiu's figure had already walked in from outside the door.
