Chapter 451 Autumn Harvest and Winter 9

Since Chen Shide's death, Jin Xiaoai has opened several stores outside. Jin Xiaoai, who is a merchant, is very talented in doing business. During this period, her business has been booming. It is said that she will expand more recently and add several stores.

Although she still has the title of concubine Chen Shide, and Chen Jiazhai and Jin Xiaoai are not short of money, today Jin Xiaoai is not wearing gold and silver, nor is she silk and satin. She is just dressed up in an ordinary dress, with only a silver hairpin on her hair, and she looks like the hostess of a wealthy family.[]

Jin Xiaoai is indeed a smart person, and being low-key is what she needs most now.

Jin Xiaoai entered Li Qinglin's office. Li Qinglin stood up and asked Ding Goudan to give her a cup of tea.

After some greetings, Jin Xiaoai made her request, and she wanted to invite Li Qinglin to her shop for a walk.

The next time in Chenjiazhai, Li Qinglin had already agreed to Jin Xiaoai, so Li Qinglin did not refuse this time, and he agreed readily.

Jin Xiaoai has a grain, oil and mountain goods store in Qinghe and Sangyu Towns. Both shops are within the jurisdiction of the Ninth Detachment, so it is very easy to go and take a look. Li Qinglin asked Ding Goudan to inform Liu Changda of his relaxation, and then took the guards to ride a horse and followed Jin Xiaoai to the two shops to check it out.

In fact, when Li Qinglin went to see it, he was just going to see it. He was just walking around the store, then sitting in the back hall for a while, and drinking a cup of tea. But for Jin Xiaoai, the meaning of this look was completely different.

The commander came, and the highest commander of the local garrison must be accompanied. Li Gousheng from Qinghe and Zhang Ergou from Sangyu Town all came over happily. It can be said that in the Ninth Detachment, all the people who control the real power are Li Qinglin's confidants. Now the real power figures have all gone to Jin Xiaoai's shop to "sit". Li Qinglin knew that his actions would soon reach Liang Xixian's ears, and Liang Xixian will inevitably restrain himself a lot in the future.

Li Qinglin's first stop today was in Qinghe, and the second stop was in Sangyu Town. The lunch was also eaten in Sangyu Town. Of course, Jin Xiaoai was invited to the guests, and Zhang Ergou, who guarded Sangyu Town, and Pi Xianqiu, the president of the Sangyu Town Business Association.

When Li Qinglin arrived, Zhang Ergou and Pi Xianqiu were naturally very polite. Several people were holding a cup at the banquet, and Li Qinglin finally got a little drunk.

After the meal, Li Qinglin was about to take a break before going back. At this moment, Chen Jinbao brought Wang Leshan to come.

When Chen Jinbao and Wang Leshan heard that Li Qinglin had really had time to go to Jin Xiaoai's shop to "check", they rushed over.

In order to hurry, Chen Jinbao and Wang Leshan didn't have time to eat lunch at noon. As soon as Chen Jinbao entered the room, he smiled and said, "Sir Li, don't even leave any leftovers. Are you too unfavorable?"

Li Qinglin smiled and said, "You can't blame me for this matter. Today is Jin Xiaoai treating her. Even if you want to have a meal, you should look for her."

Chen Jinbao said: "She is my little mother, how dare I blame her? In this way, Chief Li will not leave tonight, I will treat you later."

Li Qinglin said: "Isn't this good? There is still something going on in our military camp."

Chen Jinbao smiled and said, "Sir Li, today is a people-friendly journey. You can't just drink the third wife's wine and not eat the fourth wife's meal? Our fourth wife is still waiting for you to go to the farm to take a look. You can't be so biased."

Wang Leshan also said, "Yes, yes, Chief Li can't be so biased."

Jin Xiaoaijiao smiled and said, "Jinbao, don't just tell me how to finish my store Chief Li. He will go there tomorrow."

Jin Xiaoai still has shops in the enemy-occupied area. It is estimated that Liang Xixian's main intention may be to occupy those shops. Although Li Qinglin did not agree to go and take a look, Jin Xiaoai suddenly proposed that he actually wanted Li Qinglin to go to the enemy-occupied area to "check", which completely broke Liang Xixian's distorted intentions.

In her early thirties, she is not tall and not pretty, but at the age of thirty, she is full of figure and charming, and has a charming charm. Li Qinglin hasn't met a woman for a while since she sent her family to Xi'an. Now Jin Xiaoai's charming voice makes Li Qinglin feel excited.

Seeing Li Qinglin smiling but not speaking, Jin Xiaoai was overjoyed. She knew that Li Qinglin had already agreed, so she went to the store to arrange for the matter of going to the enemy-occupied area tomorrow.

It took a long time since I went to Wan'an County to check it out. Li Qinglin stayed in the small place of Qinghe all day long. In fact, he was very bored, and he had long thought of going there to check it out. Li Qinglin asked Ding Goudan to ride a horse back and notify the detachment headquarters, saying that he would go to Wan'an County tomorrow; and then asked Zhang Ergou to inform the intelligence team leader Ma and the others, asking them to prepare and arrange some people to protect themselves tomorrow.

In fact, Li Qinglin has a Japanese spy certificate issued by Nokawa and a complete set of Shunji Kobayashi's certificates, so there is no need for any protection. However, Li Qinglin did not want Liang Xixian to know that he had these documents. In order to prevent Liang Xixian from becoming suspicious, Li Qinglin still made some arrangements according to the general procedures.

In the evening, Li Qinglin lived in Zhang Ergou's third brigade, and of course Chen Jinbao was the one who treated her.

The third brigade was the army that Li Qinglin started, and is considered to be the most caring old-fashioned unit of Li Qinglin. All the platoon leaders are veterans led by Li Qinglin. Some of them are still the direct descendants of Li Qinglin from Mount Feng. When Li Qinglin came back, these people lined up to toast.

The soldiers have always been straightforward. The old subordinates are absolutely unambiguous on the battlefield and never pretend to be bears in the bar. These old subordinates each lined up to Li Qinglin with a bowl of wine. When they arrived at him, the subordinate stood at attention and then reported loudly: "My name is XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

After the report was completed, he drank the bowl of wine in his hand completely.

In fact, Li Qinglin is very familiar with these people. Even if they don’t report their names, Li Qinglin will not forget them. However, Li Qinglin did not stop them. Li Qinglin knew that this was a way of expression for these brothers who had lived for the rest of their lives. They reported to their elders in their own way that they were still alive and would be loyal to their elders in the future.

Li Qinglin knew that this would happen tonight, so he attached great importance to the opportunity to meet with his old subordinates. Although it was just a banquet, Li Qinglin was still fully armed, wearing general rank, symbols on his chest, armed belts, pistols, etc. This was not to show his official rank to his subordinates, but actually a kind of respect for his subordinates. Because this is a military camp, in the eyes of soldiers, the army is their home, and it is natural for subordinates to obey the rank, and the common experience of fighting side by side and surviving in death makes this connection deeper and deeper. Extremely formal outfits like Li Qinglin are the greatest respect for his subordinates as soldiers.

The subordinates poured wine into their stomachs one by one, and Li Qinglin just picked up the wine bowl and took a short sip. Looking at the officers who came to toast like running water, Chen Jinbao and Pi Xianqiu both sighed frequently: "Sir Li, only you can call the king of the local area."

After the dinner, Li Qinglin was specially kept by these young brothers who had been dead for life. Now they no longer need to be so formal. Everyone took off their hats, unbuttoned them, and sat together to drink tea and chat.

After leaving the formal occasion, everyone naturally relaxed a lot when they got along. The old brothers were together, talking about their past experiences, the current situation, and even making some jokes.

Li Qinglin actually attaches more importance to this kind of jiā flow, because this relaxed and casual environment can make his subordinates feel that they have entered the circle of the department, which can better cultivate the loyalty of his subordinates.

That night, Li Qinglin lived in the barracks of the Third Brigade and returned to the old army where he started. Li Qinglin felt very safe. This night, Li Qinglin slept very sweetly, and it can be said that he had no dreams all night.

Early the next morning, Jin Xiaoai came with his own carriage. Several intelligence personnel selected by Chief Ma himself were also waiting outside the house. Under Chief Ma's leadership, they waited for Li Qinglin's dispatch.

After washing up, Li Qinglin finished his breakfast, and then led the team to start rushing to Shuizhi. Because Chenjiazhai now only opened two large grain and oil mountain stores in the enemy-occupied area, one opened in Shuizhi and the other opened in Wan'an County. Li Qinglin's first stop today is Shuizhi Town.

Now is the clear and refreshing season of autumn, and it is also the season for farmers to harvest. Some of the leaves in the distant mountains turn red and some turn yellow, and the colorful colors make the golden autumn more enthusiastically. In order to return the grains to the warehouse, farmers who dig food in the fields come to the fields to harvest crops early, and some of the fields are all harvested. However, for the convenience of farming in the next year, some of the very diligent farmers are digging the very little roots left in the fields with hoes.

Jin Xiaoai was riding in a double-shaft mule cart today. In order to ensure safety, Jin Xiaoai carefully selected a coachman. This coachman was an old handkerchief of about forty and he drove the car for the rest of his life.

Li Qinglin dressed up as an ordinary farmer today. He was wearing a half-new black suit, with a pair of black cloth shoes under his feet, and a white towel tied to his head. He looked like a farmer who was a big husband.

After Li Qinglin's car, he took the initiative to change seats with the driver. He picked up the whip rod and started to catch the double-shaft mule cart. Li Qinglin hadn't driven the car for a long time, and he was in a good mood now, just taking this trip to "check" in front of a trip.

Captain Maun took three people to follow Li Qinglin's carriage on horseback. Li Qinglin felt that these people were too annoying. Those who were a little interested could find abnormalities by paying attention. Li Qinglin ordered them to speed up and explore the way forward in advance.
