Wang Ye said: "Captains can't be caught just by wanting to catch them. Even if they are caught, the number is limited. However, there are many strong laborers in the entire northwest of Shanxi who stay at home and have nothing to do."

"Even if there is not one million, half a million is more or less."

"These 500,000 strong laborers are nothing to do now."

"Mobilize them and the project progress will be greatly accelerated."

"Yes." Zhao Gang slapped his thigh and said, "It's winter now."

Wang Ye said: "We can attract a lot of labor to dig the canal with only a very low wage."

"In this way, it is highly likely that the Yellow River water can be introduced into Wohu Mountain and Jiugong Mountain areas before the spring next year, and the underground Great Wall in our Fuliang Mountain area can also be basically built and formed."

Zhao Gang said: "Old Li, I agree with Xiao Wang's opinion."

But Li Yunlong was unwilling to do so: "How much money does that cost?"

Wang Ye said: "First give the two team leaders 50,000 yuan, and it will be replenished if it is not enough."

Hearing this, Ding Wei and Kong Jie's eyes immediately lit up, and Xiao Wang was still very happy.

"What? Give them 50,000 yuan acres per person?" Li Yunlong's face collapsed, "Don't even think about it."

"Old Li, it's not that I told you that you should have a big picture." Zhao Gang advised earnestly, "These two sums are not for Commander Ding and Commander Kong, nor for the New 1st or New 2nd Regiment, but for the construction of the Northwest Shanxi base. If the entire Northwest Shanxi base is built, our independent group will also make a fortune, right?"

After a pause, he said, "At that time, the clothing factory, tobacco factory and winery in our northwest Jin base are all set up. You are wearing your own new military uniform, drinking sweet potatoes brewed by your own winery, and smoking cigarettes produced by your own cigarette factory. Those little days are leisurely and even gods can't catch up with you."

Wang Ye also smiled and said, "At that time, the boss, the division commander and the brigade commander were wearing military uniforms produced by our bedding factory, the cigarettes produced by us were also smoking, the sweet potatoes produced by us were drinking, and the commander Cheng and other commanders of brother troops met and greeted each other. They all had to sigh, it was really a blessing from Li Yunlong."

Li Yunlong said this and felt itchy. Such a picture is so beautiful that he dare not think about it.

"Okay, okay, okay, okay, our old Li is just a rough man, but you two big scholars."

Li Yunlong laughed, but when he turned to Kong Jie and Ding Wei, he immediately turned his face up: "Old Ding, and Old Kong, since we, Political Commissar Zhao and Xiao Wang, have all said this, I don't agree and can only agree, but Old Li must talk to you two."

Kong Jie said: "You are so damn bad."

Ding Wei said: "Old Kong, please tell him, I want to see what he can say."

Li Yunlong said with a stern face: "Now, the situation in northwest Shanxi is obvious. In terms of money, our old Li has more than 200,000 yuan and more than 1,000 taels of gold. It's like a landlord and old fortune. You two are just paupers, just like a long-term worker. Now I care about both your meals and your wages. It's not too much to divide the main and secondary, right?"

"What do you want to say?" Ding Wei said, "I want to be a brigade commander again?"

"That's it." Kong Jie said, "Why are you thinking about appointing yourself as an official?"

"Being the brigade commander, Lao Li, is not that fate." Li Yunlong said, "But I have invested such a lot of money, just like the three brothers who work together to do business, I have the most capital and must have the most shares. Being a big shopkeeper is not an exaggeration, right? If there is any emergency, should your second shopkeeper and third shopkeeper listen to me, the big shopkeeper?"

Kong Jie frowned and said, "That's the reason, but I always feel something is wrong."

Ding Wei said: "After all the time, don't you want us to obey your command?"

"That won't work." Kong Jie said, "You are the leader of the regiment, and I am also the leader. Why should I obey your command? Just because your head is as big as a chamber pot?"

Everyone laughed, and Li Yunlong laughed too.

After laughing, Li Yunlong said again: "But I still say the same thing. When you want to be strong, you must have a big idea, otherwise you will be full of talk and who will listen to whom?"

Ding Wei said: "It's so simple. Small enemies will fight each other. When encountering big combat operations, they will cooperate with each other and cooperate tacitly. There is no need to stipulate who listens to whom."

After all, I just don’t obey you, Li Yunlong.

Ding Wei said again: "Besides, we don't have a radio station, so we are far apart from each other. Even if we send a correspondent to ride a horse to report the news, we have to run back and forth for a day, and we have no way to command it uniformly."

"Damn it, is it so difficult to admit that you are old Li, you are forcing me?"

Li Yunlong was a little impatient: "In a word, if you admit that our old Li is in power, you must always ensure that you listen to me, the shopkeeper. Now go to the supply department to find Lao Ke to collect the cash ocean and bullets. In addition to the cash ocean and bullets, I will allocate an additional 30,000 kilograms of miscellaneous grains."

Kong Jie said, "What if I refuse to admit it?"

Li Yunlong said: "Then I won't give you a single thing, I'll get out of here right away."

"Damn it." Kong Jie said angrily, "How could this dog behave like an old comrade? He is simply a profiteer."

Ding Wei thought for a while and said, "Old Li, it's only for major combat operations. You kid shouldn't present a shopkeeper's note in front of me and Lao Kong, otherwise I, Ding Wei, wouldn't have you, an old comrade-in-arms."

"Of course, of course." Li Yunlong immediately said with a smile on his face, "Actually, who is with us? Even when a major combat operation occurs, we will definitely discuss it. If you have something to discuss, haha."

"This is what you said." Kong Jie snorted, "I have something to do."

"I have something to discuss, haha." Li Yunlong agreed.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie then received the money and food and left.

...

Sanduotang, the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army.

Chu Yunfei lowered his head and was focusing on his homework on the map.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Chu Yunfei said without raising his head: "Brother Li Gong? Who was he just now?"

"Oh, it's Battalion Commander Qian's communications soldier." Fang Ligong said lightly, and said, "It was said that he sent someone to send 100 rifles and 1,000 bullets to the edge of the Fuliang Mountains, but was blocked by the Independent Regiment."

"No matter how our people explain it, they just refuse to let us enter the defense zone."

"In the end, Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang was so angry that he returned to Lijia Town with weapons, ammunition and medicine."

Chu Yunfei hummed twice and said, "It seems that Li Yunlong has guessed my intention, so let it go."
