Traveling through 1942 with space

Chapter 138 Generous Donation

Zhou Debiao spoke again only after Cui Wenying finished recording.

“As for the Qin Army, the gang should also support them. After all, our gang was established in Qin Province, and it is only right to support the Qin Army.

Besides, the Qin Army has always been at the forefront of the anti-Japanese war. Zhou admires the army that bravely fights against Japan and should support it.

As for the Red Army, this is our first contact with the poor people.

The purpose of this organization is very similar to that of our Yanhuang League, both of which are to help and relieve ordinary people, which makes me very interested.

Some time ago, I took some time to visit the Qinbei area to learn about the general situation of this organization.

The feedback I received was very good. The officials of this organization are very friendly and the soldiers are all brave men who fought against the Japanese. I have a very good impression of them.

In this way, tomorrow I will store 20,000 shi of grain, 500 shi of meat, 300 shi of red-wound medicinal materials, and 10 shi of finished powdered red-wound medicine in the secret warehouse.

The government should not be short of food, and that thing is not worth much money, so just donate them 20 dan of red wound medicine! Then sell them 150 dan of medicine at half the market price, which is our support for the war against Japan.

As for the Qin army, this local army is also stubborn. They offended Boss Chang and are not welcome now. They probably lack everything now.

In this way, 5,000 dan of grain were donated to the Qin army, 3 dan of red powder were given to them, and 100 dan of meat were donated.

But you should mention this to the Qin army. They are stationed in the Central Plains, and they can only take half of the 5,000 shi of grain themselves, as the other half is needed for disaster relief.

If they agree, we can cooperate more in the future and carry out some business activities in their jurisdiction, which is mutually beneficial!

Finally, there is the Red Legion. Since this is our first cooperation, let’s show some sincerity and directly donate 5,000 shi of grain, 100 shi of meat, and 2 shi of red injury powder.

Sell the red injury herbs to Liushishi and give them half the price.

As for food, the same requirements apply to the Qin army. You can only keep half for yourself, and the other half must be used to help the victims. Do you understand?" Zhou Debiao said.

After listening to Zhou Debiao's arrangements, Cui Wenying's eyes lit up. This boss's plan was truly huge.

"I understand, Leader." Cui Wenying stood up and shouted loudly.

"sit!"

(Five thousand dan of grain sounds like a huge amount, but it is actually not much, only about three hundred tons. And Hou Xiaoge’s space now has fifty acres of land for growing grain, and five crops can be harvested in a month.

One acre of land produces 15,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes, and 300 tons is only the harvest of one crop from 40 acres of land, which is nothing.)

……

"I just talked about the issue of supplies, and I think everyone has understood it. In addition to the supplies provided to the official, the rest will naturally be given to the gang members.

As for the supplies, the food was divided equally between Jinyintang and Neiwutang, while the medicinal materials were divided 30% between Neiwutang and Jinyintang.

But you guys should be careful. Don’t let your brothers get injured and have no medicine to use just for some money. Don’t catch me and get angry when that happens.

As for meat, 300 shi is not much, so I won't sell it. Let's give it all to the brothers! How can the gang disciples fight for the gang without a strong body? "Zhou Debiao made arrangements.

"Thank you for your care, Alliance Leader!" After Zhou Debiao said this, everyone stood up and saluted.

"Okay, okay! We are all brothers, no need to be pretentious." Zhou Debiao smiled and put his hands on his chest with a slight smile on his face.

"I just told you the good news, now I'm going to tell you the bad news.

Because of the war between the Japs and the United States, many of the transportation channels I controlled have been destroyed, and now cross-border transportation has become very difficult.

Fortunately, I transported a large amount of grain to the border in advance this year, so the inventory can last for the next six months.

But going forward, the amount of supplies that can be provided has reached its limit.

From now on, I can only provide the gang with a maximum of 20,000 shi of grain each month, of which 80% will be coarse grains such as sweet potatoes and potatoes, and only 20% will be fine grains.

As for medicinal materials, since there is not much land for growing Chinese medicine abroad and Chinese medicine grows slowly, a batch will be provided every two months, but no more than 300 stones.

This period will last until April of the following year. You should make more arrangements during this period and don't wait until after April to rush.

Because transportation channels have been destroyed, the cost of transporting food will increase significantly.

However, grain is large in size and not valuable, so its import will be greatly reduced in the future. At most, we can transport more valuable fine grains, and no coarse grains will be available.

But you don't have to worry. Food itself is valuable in years of disaster. We are selling food now just to stabilize the price.

After the disaster, food prices will drop. Although people will still go hungry, they will not starve to death like they are doing now.

At that time, we will turn to more valuable medicinal materials, meat, machinery, and even other scarce materials from abroad.

After hearing Zhou Debiao's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the establishment of the gang itself depends on the supplies provided by the leader. Without the supply of supplies, the gang will soon fall apart.

"Okay, let's get back to the point. I've already explained all the things that happened in the Information Hall.

As for the matters in the underworld, you guys should solve them privately, as long as it does not damage the interests of the gang.

As for the officials, they also have to cooperate well.

Making friends with these official organizations will be very beneficial to our gang's business and future expansion, do you understand?" Zhou Debiao said to Cui Wenying, the information hall master.

"I understand, Leader!" Cui Wenying nodded in response.

"Next, let's talk about Jimin Hall. During this period, Jimin Hall's contribution to the gang is truly invaluable.

If it weren't for the Jimin Hall taking in and providing for refugees, the Yanhuang League wouldn't have been so famous, and there wouldn't have been so many talented and ambitious people joining the Yanhuang League and quickly making great progress, thus making another great contribution.

Brother Li, it turns out that Jimin Hall provides 7,000 kilograms of coarse grains and 1,000 kilograms of fine grains every day, right?

(The one hundred shi per day mentioned in the previous article is 12,000 jin. Of course, not all of it was donated by the gang. Some social elites or people like Li Xiuyuan donated with their own salary.)

From now on, the gang will increase the amount of coarse grains provided to Jimintang to 10,000 catties and the amount of fine grains provided to Jimintang to 2,000 catties every day, and we will also approve 10 shi of red-scarce medicinal materials for you as funding.

But Brother Li, don't be happy yet. Let me tell you, from now on, the gang can only provide this much food every day.

As I said earlier, this is already 30% of the gang’s food. No matter how many refugees there are in the future, this is the only amount of food the gang will have. The gang will not supply more, and cannot afford to do so.

Don't complain, brother. Now that food cannot be transported in, the subsidy I receive every day is huge and it's difficult for me too.

Moreover, Jimin Hall’s current practice is not good. We cannot let these disaster victims just eat without working. The half pound of food each person eats every day is more than what many local people eat.

Winter is coming soon, and many people don’t even have a thatched hut. The cost of medicine for colds has been increasing recently, and this cannot go on.

You should contact the local government and charities, get some equipment, and let these refugees quickly build mud houses, or even dig earth caves. They just can't just sit and wait for death.

If someone has objections and only eats but does not work, you should just drive them out. Such people are not worth saving. " Zhou Debiao said to Li Xiuyuan with a wry smile.

"Thank you, Alliance Leader!"

Li Xiuyuan also understood the difficulties of the alliance leader from the series of words Zhou Debiao said just now. He was not an ungrateful person, so he knew when to stop.

The other hall masters on the other side all looked at Zhou Debiao with a different look in their eyes, as if they were looking at the gods in the temple.

But they knew how much 30% of the gang's food was. Moreover, it was not only food, but also ten stones of medicinal materials, which were things that could not be bought with money.

"Alliance leader has mercy!"

"Master, I admire you the most!"

"Me too!"

……

"Okay, stop sucking up to me, as if sucking up to me will do you any good.

We agreed that at noon we would have roasted whole lamb and Xifeng wine, nothing more." Zhou Debiao felt a little dizzy amid the flattery of the crowd.
