Let’s talk about Zhong Yi again. Now he has arrived at Zhenhai Port.

At this time, the deep-water port of Yinjiang and Beilun had not yet been developed, so Zhenhai Port is the port where Yinjiang and the outside world are connected, and the terminal station of the Shanghai-Hangzhou-Yinjiang Railway is also Zhenhai Port.

On the back of Zhenhai Harbor are rows of warehouses.

The warehouses are all simple wooden houses, even bamboo curtain sheds, which can barely shelter from wind and rain, but if they encounter a typhoon, it will definitely not be able to withstand it.

So before the typhoon season arrives, you must transfer it in advance.

Fortunately, it is only early February, and it is still far from the typhoon season.

An Zhenyuan attached great importance to the security of the grain warehouse, so he personally led a team to be responsible for guarding the grain warehouse.

In addition to a small team in An Zhenyuan, there is also a company of the security regiment, which is responsible for the periphery.

After a round of inspections, Zhong Yi did not find any problems. He neither saw suspicious people appearing nearby nor saw the warehouses with hidden dangers of water or theft.

I also opened the bag and checked it. All the gray packaging bags were indeed filled with yellow corn.

But I don’t know why, but Zhong Yi always felt a vague uneasiness in his heart.

An Zhenyuan noticed Zhong Yi's abnormal expression and asked, "Mayor, is there something wrong?"

"Nothing is wrong." Zhong Yi shook his head and said again, "But I always feel that something is wrong."

An Zhenyuan and Ergouzi, who was accompanying him, were confused when they heard this. There was nothing wrong, and they always felt that something was wrong? Isn’t this a contradiction?

At that moment, Zhong Yi said again: "I haven't found anything unusual recently, right?"

"No abnormality was found." An Zhenyuan shook his head and said, "Everything is normal."

Zhong Yi turned around and looked at the warehouse lined up in front of him with a gloomy expression.

...

Shanghai, Akita family.

Ken Inukai replied: "It's nothing special. He hired local people through those Chinese grain merchants to buy 50 kilograms a day, and then accumulated more than 100,000 tons of corn."

Okamura Yasuji said: "Every commoner buys fifty kilograms of corn every day?"

"Yes." Ken Inukatsu said, "because the purchase volume is too large, I can only buy it repeatedly."

"Then, Zhong Yi never noticed it?" Okamura Niji frowned, "I didn't stop it?"

"Discovery, it should have been discovered." Ken Inukai said, "But he did not stop it, and I don't think he would stop it."

Okamura Yasuji asked, "Why?"

Ken Inukai said: "Because he raised the selling price, he raised the price of corn from half a cent per catty to five cent per catty!"

"So you think Zhong Yi is making the difference?" Okamura Yanji said, "I will let you eat?"

"Your Excellency General, I don't know anything." Inuka Ken said, "Zhong Yi has launched a large construction scene in Yinjiang, so he urgently needs a lot of funds, so he lets us eat the food!"

"Strange." Okamura Yasuji said, "It doesn't seem like Zhong Yi's style!"

According to Okamura Yasuji's understanding of Zhong Yi, this person will not be left to his enemy at all. Whether it is the Imperial Army or the grain merchant who hoards goods, as long as he dares to go against him, he will not show mercy!

So, unless Zhong Yi didn't know that it was the grain merchant who bought the grain, he would definitely come forward to stop it.

But just now Inuyakin said that most of the time, Zhong Yi already knew that it was those grain merchants who ate the food behind the scenes.

So Okamura Yanji was a little confused. After a while, he suddenly said: "Inuyangjun, will Zhong Yi buy more than 200,000 tons of grain from the United States? Because he holds enough chips in his hand and knows that he can win 100% in this food war, so he is so confident?"

After thinking about it, Okamura Yasuji only had this explanation.

In fact, this is basically the truth.

This old Japanese devil, Okamura, has a really good judgment.

"No!" Inuyangjian replied confidently, "We actually thought about what the General said, but after careful analysis, we found that with Zhong Yi's existing financial resources, we must not only build two fortresses in Zhaobaoshan and Jinjishan, but also build Yinjiang Industrial Park. It is already the limit to be able to squeeze out money to buy 200,000 tons of corn."

Ken Inukai is not nonsense, but has really been carefully calculated.

However, Inukatsu Ken would never know that Zhong Yi actually earned a large amount of royalties!

Inukai Ken was even more unlikely to have imagined that after the first phase of the food war, the friendship between Zhong Yi and Zhao Qin, Lin and Xiao had made rapid progress, so the four families raised another 10 million oceans to help Zhong Yi buy grain from the United States.

It is even more impossible for Ken Inukashi to know that the second batch of two million tons of corn is also ready to go in the United States!

Okamura Nishi frowned and said, "If this is the case, it would be a bit unreasonable. Will Zhong Yi be so careless?"

"Your Excellency General, it is actually reasonable." Inuyang Ken explained, "Because our connection with Yinjiang grain merchants was achieved through secret channels, Zhong Yi could not know, so he did not know that Yinjiang Lang merchants had the support of our Mei agency, which led to a misjudgment of the financial resources of Yinjiang grain merchants!"

Okamura Yasuji said: "In other words, Zhong Yi doesn't think that Yinjiang grain merchants can eat 200,000 tons of corn?"

"Yes." Inuyangjian nodded and said, "In fact, Zhong Yi's judgment is basically reliable. With the financial resources of those Yinjiang grain merchants, they can only earn 20,000 tons at most. Even with the help of our Mei agency, they can only earn 150,000 tons at most. If there is no refugee wave, Zhong Yi can still win this food war."

"Refugee tide?" Okamura Nishi said in surprise, "What's going on?"

"That's it." Ying Zuo Zhenzhao finally found an opportunity to interrupt and explained, "Because Zhong Yi raised the price of corn ten times, the Mei agency's financial resources were limited, and there was no way to eat 200,000 tons in one go. However, this food war has begun, and we must not lose if we don't want to lose, so Inuyangjun thought of driving the refugees to Yinjiang."

"Nani?" Okamura Yanji said in surprise, "Turn refugees to Yinjiang?"

"Yes." Ying Zuo Zhenzhao nodded, "Because after the refugees arrive in Yinjiang, Zhong Yi will definitely not sit idly by. He must take out the food to feed the refugees, so that his food reserves will be consumed quickly."

Okamura Yanji's face finally collapsed and he asked in a deep voice: "How long has it been to drive away refugees? How many refugees have been driven to Yinjiang so far?"

"It's about half a month." Ying Zuozhen calculated for a moment, and then said, "On average, about 100,000 people per day, and so far, about 1.5 million people."
