In a blink of an eye, a week passed.

Time came to July 10th in 1941.

On the Soviet-German battlefield, the German army advanced an average of more than 500 kilometers into the Soviet Union in just 18 days, and more than 5 million Soviet Red Army were surrounded and annihilated. The Soviet Union was once in a dilemma of exhaustion of troops. Under helplessness, the Soviet Union could only urgently transfer more than one million Soviet Red Army deployed in the Far East to the Western Front.

In view of this, the head of state called the Japanese government many times,

Japan demanded that it declare war on the Soviet Union and sent troops to the Far East.

However, the Japanese government has always ignored this.

...

During this period, the situation in northwest Shanxi was relatively calm.

The Japanese puppet army, the Eighth Route Army, the Shanxi-Suizhou Army and the Central Army seemed to have reached some tacit understanding, but they did not provoke a conflict during this period.

However, under the calm surface, there is an undercurrent.

Early in the morning, Li Yunlong brought Wang Ye to the cigarette factory.

"Captain of the regiment, Staff Officer Wang." Seeing Li Yunlong and Wang Ye, Qiu Hui quickly came up to meet him.

There are almost no economically versed in the Fuliangshan base area, so Qiu Hui, who once worked as a female worker in a textile factory in Shanghai, drove the ducks to put them on the shelves and was arrested by Li Yunlong as the director of the cigarette factory.

Not to mention, Qiu Hui did a good job after taking office.

The daily production of cigarette factories has increased from 5,000 to 10,000.

"Xiao Qiu, ask you something." Li Yunlong said, "Have the wholesale price of our Fuliang brand cigarettes increased?"

"Risk?" Qiu Hui was stunned when she heard this, then shook her head and said, "No, the wholesale price of our Fuliang brand cigarettes has always been three cents and six cents, and the price has never increased."

"The price has not increased?" Li Yunlong frowned, "That's strange."

Qiu Hui asked Wang Ye, "Staff General Wang, is there something wrong?"

Wang Ye said: "Sister Hui is like this. The Fuliang brand cigarettes on the market have increased to one cent per pack."

The Fuliangshan base prohibits the circulation of fiat currency and lackey tickets. From the beginning, it was stipulated that only silver dollars and border tickets could be circulated. However, border tickets are less popular in northwest Shanxi, and ordinary people still habitually like to use silver dollars and copper coins. Therefore, the main currencies in the Fuliangshan base are silver dollars and copper coins.

"What?" Qiu Hui was so angry that her eyebrows were raised.

"These profitable merchants are so hateful. Our factory price is only 30% and 60% so they dare to sell a cent? Isn't this exploitation of the people? The leader of the group must severely punish these profitable merchants who are speculative and offending."

Li Yunlong nodded and said, "Don't worry, Xiao Qiu, we will punish you severely when we find out."

Wang Ye asked, "Sister Hui, has the purchase price of tobacco leaves and wrapping paper increased?"

"Hey, I forgot if you don't say it, Staff Wang." Qiu Hui immediately complained, "The tobacco leaves are nothing. The tobacco leaves we purchased before only consumed a little, but the packaging paper has increased the price several times. Now a box of cigarettes alone takes up an 8 cents of cost, and our tobacco factory is about to lose money."

"There is still this?" Li Yunlong said, "Can you even lose money when you run a tobacco factory?"

"That's not." Qiu Hui said, "The wholesale price you set at the beginning is low. Now the price of cigarette paper has been rising. Wouldn't we just lose money? Otherwise, we will also increase the selling price."

"That won't work." Li Yunlong said decisively, "Then won't we become capitalists?"

In Li Yunlong's worldview, capitalists, like landlords and old wealth, are all enemies of poor people. They all want to be defeated and trampled on ten thousand feet, so they would rather die than become the same as them.

It is precisely because of this that Li Yunlong priced Fuliang brand cigarettes so low.

In Li Yunlong's words, it is better not to make money than to make the people in the base area be able to afford to smoke cigarettes.

Li Yunlong’s worldview cannot be said wrong or bad. It can only be described in two words, which is simple, a simple proletarian thinking.

Such a worldview certainly needs to be transformed.

However, it takes an opportunity to transform the world view of people like Li Yunlong.

Wang Ye vaguely felt that this opportunity was about to appear, and now he was about to kick.

"Old Li, there is a situation." Zhao Gang hurried into the tobacco factory and said anxiously, "Dagu Town, Qingyun Town and Lijia Town's anti-Japanese democratic government have all reported to me that the idle and lazy bad elements in various towns, towns and villages have suddenly become very active and frequently enter and exit the enemy-occupied areas."

Wang Ye's heart moved when he heard this, and he seemed to have grasped the key to the problem.

"A bad guy who is lazy?" Li Yunlong said, "Isn't it just to arrest him?"

"How can that work?" Zhao Gang rolled his eyes and said angrily, "How can he catch people randomly?"

Li Yunlong said: "Didn't you say that they frequently go between the base area and the enemy-occupied area? You must have done nothing good. You'll know if you arrest it for the first trial?"

"You're even more outrageous."

Zhao Gang's face collapsed: "Then on the edge of our base and the enemy-occupied area, many fellow villagers have good civil certificates issued by the Japanese, and they often go to and from enemy-occupied areas or even county towns. Do we need to arrest them?"

"What do you think of?" Li Yunlong said angrily, "If you arrest it, you can't arrest it, and if you examine it, you can't examine it. So how can you find out what these bad elements are doing?"

While the two were talking, Uncle Li hurried over.

"Captain, political commissar." Uncle Li said angrily, "I want to report something to you."

"Uncle Li, what made you so angry?" Wang Ye quickly walked up to him to make Uncle Li angry.

"He Dianzi." Uncle Li said in anger, "He Dianzi, the ungrateful wolf, actually wants to bribe me."

"What a dilemma?" Wang Ye couldn't help but look at Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang, which was a bit interesting.

The dragon has nine sons, and they are different, and people are also different. If there are honest people who work diligently and hardworkingly, there will be idle people who are idle and steal.

He Dianzi is such a idle man.

Moreover, in Zhaojiayu, there are more than one idle man like this.

But I didn't expect that the enemy's tentacles had reached Zhaojiayu.

Wang Ye asked: "Uncle Li, please slow down, how did He Dianzi bribe you?"

"This goddamn asked me to make an excuse to sneak into the Fuliangshan Fortress and draw the authentic tragedy into sketches." Mr. Li said, "and said that he would give him the sketches, and he would give me a hundred dollars!"

"This is a damn!" Li Yunlong said furiously.

"If I had known that he was not a good thing, it was indeed not a good thing."

Speaking of this, he turned his head and ordered Ge Erdan: "Erdan, go and catch He Dianzi!"

Zhao Gang did not stop this time. With Mr. Li as a proof, arresting He Dianzi means that the evidence is conclusive, and there is no problem in procedural and legal principles, which is natural.

"Yes!" Ge Erdan went there fiercely.

In just ten minutes, a stingy man was taken to the cigarette factory by Ge Erdan.

"He Dianzi!" Li Yunlong shouted, "Who is the master behind you? Is he a devil?"

"What master?" He Dianzi's face changed slightly, and he immediately refuted, "What are you talking about?"

"You dare to deny it?" Mr. Li said angrily, "You just told me that you would give me a hundred oceans."

"I'll give you a hundred oceans?" He Dianzi said, "Old man Li, do you want to eat anything? My fucking 100 oceans were kicked by a donkey. Besides, do I have a hundred oceans?"

"You're cheating?" Li Yunlong said angrily, "Erdan, beat him up!"

"Yes!" Ge Erdan immediately raised his big fist and was about to hit him.

As a result, He Dianzi fell to the ground and then howled in tears: "The Eighth Route Army has hit people, the Eighth Route Army has hit people..."

Ge Erdan was stunned immediately.

Have I fuckingly practiced the magical skill of Wuying?

Before his fist could reach his body, he knocked down his body?

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang also looked at each other, and there was no way to meet such a scoundrel.

The problem is that there are really fellow passers-by who are surrounded to watch the fun. However, Chinese people, no matter where they are from, like to watch the fun is almost engraved in their genes.

Now Li Yunlong is also a little difficult to get rid of.

But such a trivial matter cannot be difficult for Wang Ye.

Wang Ye grabbed He Dianzi and said, "You just said, don't you have a hundred dollars in your house?"

"Nonsense, who doesn't know that our He family is so poor?" He Dianzi snorted coldly and said, "Don't talk about a hundred oceans, if you can find a piece of ocean, I will lose."

"Okay, you said this." Wang Ye nodded with a smile.

Seeing Wang Ye's smile, He Dianzi felt a little guilty for some reason.

Wang Ye immediately said to Ge Erdan: "Edan, go and search He Dianzi's home."

"Yes!" Ge Erdan rushed over immediately, but less than half an hour later, he returned to the tobacco factory empty-handed.

"I didn't find it, right?" He Dianzi suddenly became excited and jumped up and said, "What do you say now? I'll ask you, what do you say now? Om? What do you say now?"

Wang Ye smiled and said, "It seems that we made a mistake and apologize to you."

He Dianzi said: "It's over for the apology? The Eighth Route Army can just accuse people of any wrongdoing, right?"

"Damn it, what else do you want?" Li Yunlong was so angry that he took out his shell gun, "Do you want us to pay you money?"

He Dianzi was so scared that he ran away in panic, but shouted, "This matter is not over. I will report to your superiors. I, He Dianzi, are not a soft persimmon that anyone can pinch. I will seek justice!"

Li Yunlong and Uncle Li were so angry that they were half angry, but Wang Ye smiled but said nothing.

"Damn, what's the evil thing today?" Li Yunlong said with a black face, "I'm just going through such a bullshit thing."
