Chapter 621: The Kang Family Is Calculated
Although the attitude of the surname Lu was very low, Kang Hailong heard the arrogance in the words of the surname Lu. This surnamed Lu doesn't take Kang Hailong seriously anymore.
"Looks like you really want to die!"
Kang Hailong snorted coldly, looking at the surname Lu with disdain, originally he thought that the surname Lu could be appointed, but he didn't expect that he couldn't help it at such a point, Kang Hailong was so old that he could be regarded as the wrong person.
"Mayor Kang, your Kang family has a big business, and there is no shortage of that mouthful of food, if we don't want to make money, we will really starve to death!"
The surname Lu now doesn't matter who Datong is in the world now, he has no way to make money, he can only scavenge from the common people, since the Kang family is unwilling to help him, he can do it himself.
Although he doesn't have as many channels as the Kang family, he can unite the merchants in the city with food, as long as he gives these merchants a little benefit, they are definitely willing to cooperate with him.
The surname Lu won the bet, at least the grain stores in the south of the city and the west of the city did increase the price at the same time, and the Kang family's grain was sold out, and there was no food replenishment in a short period of time, and now only his surname Lu still controls the grain source of Datong.
As long as Datong's grain is controlled, his surname Lu will be Datong's call for wind and rain.
Kang Hailong looked at the smug expression of the surnamed Lu and sneered in his heart. The Kang family has no ability to wrestle with Liao Fan, and he still wants to fight with Liao Fan with the surname Lu, and he doesn't know how he died.
But Kang Hailong didn't come to find the surname Lu to teach the surname Lu a lesson, he came to ask for food. In Datong City, in addition to military rations, only the surnamed Lu still has enough food in his hands, and no one dares to make up his mind about the military rations, and the rest is only the grain surnamed Lu There is still food in the grain store.
"I'm here to borrow food from you!"
Usually, if Kang Hailong said this, no one in Datong City would dare to sell the Kang family a face, and send the grain to Kang Hailong. But today, surnamed Lu, he wants to be a master, and he doesn't want to look at the Kang family's face anymore.
He is not a dog of the Kang family, when he says he will use it, he will give him high-ranking officials Houlu, and when he says he will not use it, he can't even afford to eat.
"Yo, the Kang family's great business is like me to borrow food, this is really a miracle in the world!" The surnamed Lu sneered and said that the Kang family did have a great business, but their Kang family did not hoard the food that hundreds of thousands of people eat.
Since the surname Lu dared to raise the price of grain, he must have made preparations, and there must be a lot of grain in the granary.
At this time, Kang Hailong was already extremely disgusted with the surname Lu: "It's true that it is the New 33rd Army who is in charge of Datong now, but don't forget that I am still the mayor of Datong!" ”
Kang Hailong wanted to use the identity of the mayor to suppress the surname Lu, but the businessman surnamed Lu didn't eat it at all: "Your mayor is right, but I sell my own things, does the mayor want to set a price for my family's grain?" ”
"You ......" Kang Hailong didn't expect the surname Lu to be such a scoundrel, thinking about the attitude of begging for others when the surname Lu borrowed money from their Kang family, Kang Hailong never thought that a person who seemed so honest at that time would become like this today.
For the sake of his own food business, Kang Hailong had to swallow his anger for the time being, today he came to discuss the method with the surname Lu, not to quarrel with the surname Lu.
"What conditions do you want to be able to agree to lend us food?"
Kang Hailong could only hold back, as long as he regained his breath, he must return the gift to the surnamed Lu, so that he had no place in Datong City.
The surname Lu wants is Kang Hailong Songkou, although his boat has already pulled half of the famous businessmen in Datong City, but this boat is still big enough, because the Kang family has not come up yet, he wants to pull the Kang family on this boat.
With the mayor on his boat, he will have more confidence to fight with the new 33rd Army.
"My only condition is that the grain arrives in the Kang family's grain store, and it must be sold at the price I set!" The man surnamed Lu said with a smile that since then, no matter whether Kang Hailong is really on his boat or not, at least in the eyes of outsiders, he is wearing the same pants as the Kang family.
"It's absolutely impossible!"
Of course, Kang Hailong understood what the surname Lu was thinking, he was already at this age, how could he get on the same boat with this villain surnamed Lu.
"Sending off!"
The surnamed Lu didn't give Kang Hailong any face, and directly issued an eviction order, he didn't care about the Kang family at all now. Now the surnamed Lu has the grain in Datong City in his hands, and he doesn't care about the Kang family, he is not afraid that the grain will not be sold.
Kang Hailong didn't expect that the surnamed Lu would give him such face, and left with an angry face.
Although Kang Hailong left from the place surnamed Lu, the people who bought grain did not leave from the Kang family's grain store, and even they began to shout loudly asking the Kang family to sell grain.
In the face of the current situation, Kang Hailong hated nothing but hate, and after playing with the eagle for so many years, he was pecked by the eagle in the end.
Kang Hailong looked at the citizens of Datong who refused to leave before the grain store, and felt anxious, even if he was the mayor, he had dozens of guns in his hand, if so many ordinary people really rushed towards the money, no one would be able to stop them.
Regarding the situation in Datong City, Liao Fan quickly understood it clearly from the mouths of the soldiers. Liao Fan is very happy to see such a situation, since the Kang family is angry, and let the Kang family bite the dog surnamed Lu, of course Liao Fan chooses to watch a good show.
"I guess Kang Hailong will definitely not be able to sit still, if he can't solve this matter, he will definitely come here in the end and ask us for help!"
Liao Fan concluded that Kang Hailong would definitely not come to him until the last moment, but for the sake of the Kang family's grain business, this old man could bend and stretch.
"Brother Fan, what should we do then? Lend them food, our military rations are used to fight the little devils, if it is simply supplied to the people of Datong, it is estimated that it will not last for a few days! ”
Datong's military rations were only enough to last the new 33rd Army for a week, and most of the military rations were hoarded in Yingxian in the rear; first, if something went wrong in Datong, they didn't need to waste so much grain, and second, Yingxian was not far from Datong, and they had captured dozens of trucks from the Japanese army, so they had time to eat and transport them.
"Stupid, of course we can't give the Kang family food, in this way, if Kang Hailong comes, you will say that you are not there, I will go to Yingxian County to inspect the troops, and I can only make decisions about such a big matter!"
Liao Jundong's artillery brigade is still stationed in Yingxian, and for the next attack, Liao Fan must of course know the situation of the artillery brigade, because their next step is to really enter the grassland, and artillery is their main firepower.
"Brother Fan, are you really going to Yingxian?" Huang Changsheng asked.
"What? The military in Datong City is in charge of you and Li Weimin, even if it is on the Kang family's side, Sun Boyong and Song Zuyi can also call the shots, before the main contradiction breaks out, I have to understand the situation of the troops first! ”
Although the troops have recruited a large number of new soldiers, it will take some time for the recruits to form combat effectiveness, but they are still a little short of the strength they need in the second stage.
They still need some time to repair, and of course, Liao Fan also needs to understand the situation of his troops during this time.
In this operation, except for the huge casualties of the two battalions that went deep behind the enemy lines to rescue the prisoners of war, the casualties of the other units were not much, but the division of troops and stationing them consumed the combat effectiveness of Li Weimin's troops.
And when they continue to move north, the Japanese army in Shuozhou will inevitably not wait for the opportunity to move and take the opportunity to attack them from the flank and rear, so Liao Fan needs more troops, and when they want to attack, there is a force that can pose a threat to Shuozhou, so that no one dares to hit their rear.
Sure enough, as Liao Fan expected, before Liao Fan left the gate of Datong, Kang Hailong came to the barracks with a generous gift, but the result was that Liao Fan went to Yingxian County, and it was not certain when he would come back.
Kang Hailong was disappointed, and his last avenue for help was blocked.
The Kang family is indeed a big family, and they have lost all the grain stores in Datong City, which is only a little bit of the Kang family's industry. But food is a deadly thing, and it can not only take one's own life, but also the life of others.
Once the Kang family's grain business fails in this struggle, no one will recognize their Kang family's grain in the future, and it will be difficult for their Kang family to redo the grain business in the future. In particular, the Kang family's grain bank can account for half of Datong's grain line, once it is lost, if you want to regain half of it, Kang Hailong will at least not see this day.
Now that Liao Fan has gone to Yingxian County, the new 33rd Army in Datong City can no longer help the Kang family, so Kang Hailong only has two roads left.
The first gave up the grain of the Kang family, and the second bowed to the surnamed Lu. However, Kang Hailong didn't want to take either road, but now facing a fork in the road, he had to go.
"What do you think?" Kang Hailong asked his children and grandchildren what they thought about this matter.
The lobby of the Kang family was quiet, the only thing Kang Hailong valued was his grandson Kang Ping, and the others were already used to the rich material comforts provided by the Kang family, otherwise Kang Hailong was still running around for the affairs of the Kang family at such an old age.
Kang Hailong was angry outside today, and after returning home today, when he saw these unscrupulous descendants, he was even more angry: "If there is a court here, it will definitely not be like you!" ”
However, his third son was in the southwest of the courtyard, separated by thousands of miles of enemy-occupied areas, and even if his grandson was a general of the national army, he could not care about the affairs of Datong, which belonged to the new 33rd Army.
"Grandpa, don't be angry first, let us think of a way first, after all, it happened too suddenly, and my uncles and uncles haven't reacted yet!" Kang Ping comforted Kang Hailong and said.
Where is Kang Hailong still in the mood at this time, he only needs one choice now, which will determine the future choice of their Kang family.
