At the same time, in the Langxi County Office.

Because Langxi County had just been recovered, the fleeing county magistrate had not yet returned, so the garrison simply occupied the magpie's nest and requisitioned the county office as the headquarters.

At this time, the commander of the garrison Xia was entertaining Luo Zhengying, commander-in-chief of the 15th Group Army, and Gu Shutong, commander-in-chief of the 3rd Theater who came with Luo Zhengying, had already gone to Xuancheng.

(In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, all senior generals of the national army will use pseudonyms in the future)

Luo Zhengying was saved face by Zhong Yi during the day, so he was still a little depressed.

Head Xia persuaded: "General seat, don't be angry, this surnamed Zhong is a raw melon egg, look at it, there is a time when he asks for the head of the general seat." ”

Adjutant Leng also said: "That is, without our 3 theaters to provide support, how can their 367 regiment go to Wuhan?" Begging all the way through? Or is it that the soldiers are robbing for food? ”

When Luo Zhengying heard this, he immediately turned his face and said in a deep voice: "If he really dares to set up troops to grab food, I will really dare to arrest people, and I won't be able to say anything when the time comes." ”

While the three of them were talking, a gong suddenly sounded outside.

Then, a loud voice sounded: "Langxi's fathers and fellow villagers, good news!" ”

"We are the 367th Regiment of the Central Army, in a few days, our regiment will be pulled out and driven to Wuhan for training, if you want to go to Wuhan, you can go with our 367th Regiment!"

"Our 367th Regiment will provide armed escorts free of charge!"

"If you want to go, go to the shelter and register as soon as possible!"

Hearing this, the chopsticks raised by Luo Zhengying stopped in the air.

Adjutant Leng was also dumbfounded: "What do you mean?" The 367 regiment is unable to protect itself, and it still has to provide free armed escorts to the refugees in Langxi County? Isn't that? ”

Head Xia also said: "The surname Zhong can't be crazy, right? ”

"Watch him jump!" Luo Zhengying slammed his chopsticks on the table and said coldly, "I want to see, how could he bring the troops to Wuhan without our 3 war zones to provide him with support?" ”

……

At the containment station.

Zhong Yi said: "Boss Yan, don't worry, listen to what I say." ”

After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "I mean, at the price of one-tenth of the original price, buy your batch of calico options for half a year, within half a year, you can redeem this option at a premium of twice the premium, if you can't redeem the option within half a year, then the option will be enforced, and this batch of cloth belongs to us." ”

Yan Wufu said: "What if I have already sold a part of the cloth? ”

"It's simple." Zhong Yi said, "Just make up the difference according to the market price." ”

"So?" Yan Wufu's pair of small eyes began to rotate rapidly.

The so-called half-year option, to put it bluntly, is a disguised mortgage, using calico as collateral in exchange for one-tenth of the value of liquidity, with this fund, he can hire a porter to transport the cloth away.

Then, as long as this batch of calico is sold within half a year, and the loan is repaid, plus the same amount of interest, the debt will be counted!

However, if he can't sell a piece of cloth within half a year, and he can't repay the loan, then this batch of horses will immediately belong to the 367 regiment!

Yan Wufu repeatedly calculated and felt that the risk of this transaction was controllable.

Because he only needs to sell one-fifth of the cloth within half a year, he can pay off the principal and interest.

However, for the sake of insurance, Yan Wufu still said: "Head Zhong, half a year is a bit short, can it be a year?" ”

"I'm afraid this won't work." Zhong Yi said, "However, I have a suggestion, anyway, now the porter price is low, and there is an armed escort of our regiment along the way, why doesn't Boss Yan directly ship this batch of cloth to Wuhan for sale?" ”

"Shipped to Wuhan for sale?" Yan Wufu's pair of small eyes immediately lit up, "What a good idea!" ”

……

Just sent Yan Wufu away, and soon another squire came to the door.

This time it was a well-known local squire in Langxi, Old Man Xia!

The ancestors of the Xia family once had a Taoist platform, and after the fifth generation of business accumulation, it became a famous local family in Langxi, and the family was very wealthy.

Old Man Xia came to the door this time in order to entrust her granddaughter to the 367 regiment.

Old Man Xia beckoned to the girl who followed him to step forward: "Ping'er, I've seen Captain Zhong soon!" ”

The girl stepped forward generously, flashed her big eyes and asked Zhong Yi: "You are the head of Zhong?" It is said outside that you are three feet tall and have eyes like copper bells, but you are actually no different from normal people. ”

"Ping'er." Old Man Xia hurriedly said, "Don't be rude!" ”

Zhong Yi waved his hand and said, "Old man, it's okay. ”

Old Man Xia said embarrassedly: "This kid has made the old man spoiled, and made Captain Zhong laugh." ”

Zhong Yi smiled and said, "Old man, then let Miss Xia come over early the day after tomorrow, and we will definitely escort her to Wuhan safely!" ”

"Then please head Zhong." After Old Man Xia finished speaking, he waved back again.

Immediately, a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper walked forward with a small wooden box.

Old Man Xia pushed the wooden box in front of Zhong Yi, and said with a smile: "This is a little care from our Xia family, and I ask Head Zhong to accept it no matter what." ”

Zhong Yi opened the wooden box and found that it contained silver dollars, not to mention three hundred oceans.

At that moment, Zhong Yi re-closed the wooden box, pushed it back to Old Man Xia, and said, "We can't accept it!" Because protecting the safety of ordinary people, including Miss Xia, is what we soldiers should do. ”

"This ......" Old Man Xia was surprised, he originally thought that the free escort was just a gimmick, but he didn't want it to be true!

"But ......," Zhong Yi changed his words, and continued, "If Old Man Xia has extra spare money on hand, there is an excellent deal to do." ”

"Really?" Old Man Xia was stunned and said, "What kind of business?" ”

Zhong Yi took out the option agreement he had just signed with Yan Wufu and introduced: "This is a calico option agreement worth 1,000 fiat currency, the old man can buy the option with 2,000 fiat currency, and the option will be redeemed by the owner within half a year, and the old man can get back all the 2,000 principal, if the option is overdue and not redeemed, the old man can get calico worth 10,000 fiat currency." ”

"Options?" Old Man Xia is a knowledgeable person, and said happily at the moment, "I bought this option, if there are more such options, please introduce them to me by Head Zhong." ”

"No problem." Zhong Yi said, "Such an option, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, will only be more, not less, I'm afraid that the old man, you have limited financial resources and can't eat it alone." ”

"That's easy to do." Old Man Xia said, "In Langxi, the old man still has a bit of appeal, and when the time comes, call the colleagues of the entire Langxi Chamber of Commerce to come together, all in all, we will eat as much as there are options for Head Zhong!" ”
