After doing many things, Li Jian found that the weather was also starting to get cold, and he had to wear a cotton coat at night. Ｘ

"Fortunately, Lao Tzu is smart, otherwise the warriors would have been frozen this winter!"

After saying that, Li Jian went to the hospital to see Zhao Yiyi, the medicine of the independent detachment was enough, and the food was good, Zhao Yiyi was able to sit up now, and her face was no longer as pale as before.

"I said Hui'er, recently, you are recuperating in the hospital, don't think about the outside world."

A large group has recently been fighting the devils again, and they are in the north, where the devils are most likely to be.

After the devils conquered Anyang County, their retaliation was also very fierce, but unfortunately Li Jian is now building fortifications on the spot, and we are not ready to come big.

Moreover, now the devil's roads and railways have been damaged a lot by guerrillas, etc., and once they fight, their supplies will definitely not be delivered in time.

In addition, this time the independent detachment only suffered more than 2,000 casualties, and this casualty is nothing at all.

The devils knew in their hearts that when all the conditions were unfavorable to them, they would not launch such a large-scale sweep as before.

The only way to do this was to divide the troops into brigades and squadrons to encircle and suppress the nearby guerrillas and the Eighth Route Army, which was still relatively weak in combat effectiveness.

In order to prevent the independent detachment from making trouble in the back, they instead fought with a large group first.

took the opportunity to show Li Jian that they were not afraid of the dispatch of the independent detachment at all.

But Li Jian is a little worried now, the devil has gathered so many troops in Shanxi, and the Eighth Route Army has been scattered, which is a great blow to the Eighth Route Army!

"There is another battle ahead, what are the casualties of the troops?"

Zhao Yiyi still had the same tone as before, although she didn't remember many things anymore.

"It's okay, it's okay, there aren't too many wounded in the hospital these days, are they!"

Li Jian also held his breath in his heart, this devil is now also learning from their Eighth Route Army, using a lightly armed field squadron, more than 100 people, often to attack nearby villages.

The common people didn't have anything to do, and they withdrew before the devil came, otherwise the devil wouldn't be able to come at all and was stopped.

But it can make them worry all day long, and it's really uncomfortable to have a day when they can't go home!

Li Jian can feel it!

Therefore, he really wants to kill the devil once now, but unfortunately Commander Liu refuses to let him, saying that his superiors are deploying a new plan and preparing to give the devil an all-out blow.

Regarding this point, Commander Liu didn't say much, but only mentioned it slightly, and this time all the nearby regiments will be dispatched.

And their detachment will also send five or six battalions out to block the devils in an all-round way.

"Then should I be discharged from the hospital now, I can recuperate in another place, so that I can free up a room!"

Zhao Yiyi is still so kind, but Li Jian said with a dark face at this time:

"No, you honestly recuperate in the hospital, and I'll figure out a way if the hospital ward is not enough!"

Just kidding, Zhao Yiyi just walked away from the ghost gate, so he has to pay attention.

"But ......"

"No, but!"

Li Jian's tough attitude made Zhao Yiyi only obey, what she didn't expect was that the young man who used to follow her and her sister now became an iron-blooded soldier.

And it seems that he ......

The next day, Li Jian went to Dagu Town, which is now more than 20 times more prosperous than before!

The streets have been widened, and with the development of commerce, many products are available here, and many merchants have come from all over the world to buy goods.

These are all the credit of Dr. Feng, this guy has been asking Li Jian for money in the early stage, and now he is sending money to Li Jian every month.

It's all taxes paid by some merchants, and Li Jian didn't want to collect taxes at first.

But these merchants are not at ease, they are afraid of Li Jian, who gives money and encouragement, and will not want to eat them!

Dr. Feng simply began to collect taxes, and many people paid taxes on this collection, and even some small workshops in the countryside wondered if they would have to pay them.

Li Jian felt that he was really about to become a bandit, and he still collected so many poll taxes.

He hurriedly asked Dr. Feng to improve the tax law, and it is best to have standards, so that he can distinguish what needs to be paid and what does not need to be taxed.

Li Jian came here to buy some groceries, of course this is not his main purpose, he came over this time to buy a turn, their hospital and barracks need to be built more.

Anyway, the nearby place is large, and their recruits are not training hard for the time being, just let them exercise their physical strength.

This time it's a big deal, open up a large piece of land to build barracks, Commander Liu can't think of it!

is so rich, they usually rent and live in the homes of ordinary people, and use a little money to buy military supplies.

But Li Jian actually spent money to do this, so he simply pulled Li Jian aside and asked:

"Tell me honestly, boy, how much money do you have in your account now?"

"There's not much money! Just enough for our consumption in the first half of tomorrow! ”

Li Jian naturally replied that they really didn't have much money.

"And you still build so many houses?"

Commander Liu is in a hurry, this guy only cares about the present, doesn't he think about it for the future.

"What's that! I've done this before, and there will be a return on investment, otherwise where do you think I got so much money? It's all a return on investment! ”

Seeing Li Jian say this, the political commissar became interested, walked up and asked:

"And what income do you have now?"

"There are more, first of all, we recruit workers to weave shoes, straw shoes cloth shoes we do, of course, the demand for straw shoes may be a little bigger!"

Li Jian has been doing this since two years ago, in order to stimulate demand and consumption.

Otherwise, no one will buy it, and it won't be a loss!

"Straw sandals are cheap, and we can't make much money with a pair of shoes, but we have a lot of them! Also sell to merchants in other counties! ”

"This time the money is coming!"

"And the cigarette factory or something, all the cigarettes you smoke these days are made there, how is it? It feels pretty good, right? ”

Li Jian said with a smile, at this time, Commander Liu took a closer look at the cigarette between his fingers, and found that the sign on it was actually a black long sword.

Feelings, this is really made by Li Jian and them!

"And how much money do you have a month?"

The political commissar is in charge of money, and he knows that money plays a great role, so he has to listen to Li Jian talk about this matter.

"It's not much, several nearby towns are now ours, including the few towns handed over to us by Chongqing over there, and the monthly tax of 100,000 oceans is still there!"

Li Jian actually said less, mainly because Chongqing couldn't look at these places at all, so he pushed it to Li Jian.

But Li Jian needs to spend money to invest, so his income is less than half.
