Meng Shaoyuan didn't go back for several days.

Although the work in Chongqing is far less dangerous than in Shanghai, it is honestly more tiring.

The key point is that it is too troublesome to deal with all aspects of the relationship. After all, this is the wartime capital!

"Master, you are back. Madam and Master Qiu have been waiting for you for a long time."

"Oh, second brother is here too."

Meng Shaoyuan still felt more and more uncomfortable with the title "Master".

Anyway, no matter what he ordered, Butler Qiu would never change his words.

As soon as he entered, he saw Cai Xuefei chatting with Qiu Shenghe.

Standing next to Qiu Shenghe was Qiu Xingchang.

"Hello, sir!"

When he saw Meng Shaoyuan, Qiu Xingchang stood at attention.

"You're back." Cai Xuefei stood up: "Second brother has been here twice, but I didn't see you each time. So I had no choice but to call you. Second brother, you guys talk, I'll have someone prepare the food.

."

"Third brother, you are such a good wife!" Qiu Shenghe gave a thumbs up: "Knowledgeable and sensible, you deserve to be from a wealthy family."

"Second brother, please stop praising me." Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile: "I have to apologize to you. I have been back to Chongqing for so many days, and I still haven't visited you and the old man. By the way, there is also eldest brother.

Over there, they helped me in Chengdu, but I didn’t even say thank you.”

"Third brother, you are out of touch when you say this." Qiu Shenghe said with a smile: "That day, the eldest brother went to my place for dinner, and the old man was also there. We talked about you and knew that you were back. As for the eldest brother, originally

It means that he is coming to host and invite you to eat together, but what do you think the old man said?

The old man said, your third brother is in a very difficult situation now. He has great fame in Shanghai, but in Chongqing, he doesn’t know how many people are staring at him. To put it more seriously, he has enemies everywhere. He just returned

Chongqing must first sort out these things and gain a firm foothold. So, we can’t disturb him now.

As a result, just after saying these words, something happened between you and Zhongtong. Then it came to Chengdu. The old man said it again, about you, and it happened this time. He also said that you are a person who has been trained on the front line, and those who are the whole

How can we fight you when we are in the rear? Even the Japanese are afraid of you, and those people in the Central Government are no match for you, and they will be defeated by you sooner or later!"

Meng Shaoyuan also laughed: "I have to say that the old man has great wisdom!"

"Okay, let's get down to business." Qiu Shenghe changed the topic: "You asked us to stop smuggling immediately before. This information was so accurate. As soon as we stopped, the government started to take action against smuggling. Those who have not received the information,

They all suffered a lot of losses.”

Meng Shaoyuan smiled faintly.

Otherwise, how can we say that government and businessmen collude to get things done?

"However, it's not a problem to continue to stop."

There was some worry in Qiu Shenghe's tone: "First, we have suffered losses, after all, there are so many goods. Second, smuggling has only been banned for a few days. Chongqing and Chengdu have seen different out-of-stock conditions on many daily necessities.

It is impossible to buy it, the prices of rice and other commodities have risen ridiculously, and citizens are complaining."

"Brother, do you think this is strange?" Meng Shaoyuan said thoughtfully: "To stabilize the market and stabilize prices, we actually need to rely on smuggling? Smuggling has done a lot of damage to the national economy, but now once smuggling is eliminated, the whole situation will be out of control.

.What kind of thing is this?”

"War, isn't it all the reason for war?" Qiu Shenghe sighed: "Things from the outside can't come in, and things from the inside can't get out. All supplies are given priority to the military. Since last year, famines have been frequent in various places, and the government

There is nothing that can be done to provide disaster relief, and the only solution is to rely on the local government. As a result, Chongqing's supplies cannot be guaranteed, which undoubtedly makes things worse.

If we don’t smuggle, everything will be in chaos. Speaking of which, I think it’s ridiculous. When did a smuggler become so powerful? Doesn’t he deserve to be prosecuted and jailed? The government clearly knows this.

, but I can only turn a blind eye."

"So, the ban on smuggling this time will not last long." Meng Shaoyuan said: "The government knows it well, and the commissioner is not angry about smuggling, but about smuggling materials that should not be smuggled. Second brother, once smuggling resumes

, I still say the same thing, don’t touch things you shouldn’t touch, otherwise, I won’t be able to protect us.”

"Don't worry, we will not touch the national strategic control materials." Qiu Shenghe nodded: "I came here this time, firstly, to see you, and secondly, to ask when smuggling will resume. In addition, there is another

This thing is for the sake of the child."

"Oh, really?" Meng Shaoyuan glanced at Qiu Xingchang.

"Sir." Qiu Xingchang stood up straight: "I'm asking you to use your connections to let me join the expeditionary force."

"Expeditionary Army? You?" Meng Shaoyuan was startled.

"Yes, sir!" Qiu Xingchang said loudly: "The Ministry of Commerce is also a revolutionary soldier. The country is broken and the nation is in danger, but the Ministry of Commerce is enjoying the comfort in the rear. This is not a revolutionary spirit! The Ministry of Commerce learned that our National Government has established an expeditionary force.

Going to fight in Burma, the Ministry of Staff requested to join!"

Since Qiu Xingchang was sent back to Chongqing, he has been responsible for smuggling. It is really not windy or rainy, and it is very comfortable.

But after all, he is still an official registered agent of the Military Command Bureau!

Which young man has no blood?

"Second brother, what do you mean?"

"He is an adult and can decide his own affairs."

"Second brother, be careful." Meng Shaoyuan was the one who knew the situation of the expeditionary force best: "Your Qiu family only has an only son like Xingchang. The expeditionary force went to Burma and fought bloody battles for days. I really can't care about his safety."

"Third brother, listen to me." Qiu Shenghe said slowly: "I, Qiu Shenghe, only have such a precious son. When he joined the Fuxing Society, I didn't agree with it, and the old man didn't agree with it either. He just ran away quietly.

Going to Hangzhou.

A good man cannot be nailed, and a good man should not be a soldier. He can live a good life, but why should he become a soldier and become a spy? So, this made me and the old man very angry.

You transferred him back. My Qiu family is very grateful to you. I originally thought that he would stay in Chongqing. But now, everyone who has a conscience is working hard for the Anti-Japanese War. Our Qiu family is a wealthy businessman, but I

The Qiu family are also Chinese!

Our children are precious. Are other people’s children not precious? During the War of Resistance, we Sichuan people wanted money and people. Millions of Sichuan troops fought bloody battles. Is it possible that only my son, Qiu Xingchang, could avoid death in fear of death?

Fight?

Third brother, second brother never begs you, but today I beg you to send him to the expeditionary force. If he comes back alive, the Qiu family will hand him over to him. If he dies for his country, I will personally support his soul!"

"Second brother, second brother!" Meng Shaoyuan's eyes were a little moist: "I'll do it right away. With people like Second Brother here, we will definitely win the war!"
