Tang Dao rested in the hotel for one night and did not rush to go to Jin Provincial Bank to exchange Yinyang first.

Instead, he visited the office of the 22nd Army in Linfen City in the early morning of the next day. After all, his current organization is under the jurisdiction of the 22nd Army.

The director of the office is a colonel, at the same level as Tang Dao. When Xia Dayu heard that the four-staff members were coming to visit, he actually brought his deputy with him and waited at the gate of the office for Tang Dao to arrive, giving Tang Dao enough face.

Tang Dao was not stingy. The Sixing Regiment came to Dongjin, either in war or on the way to fight. He had not yet met with the highest commander of the 22nd Army here. Although the office level was not high, it also represented the 22nd Army.

The gift from Tang Dao was also ten big yellow croaker. A hundred taels of gold was only a good gift for the old man in Shanxi, but for the Jinchuan army who lacked food and clothing, it was a timely help, which could be exchanged for 200,000 kilograms of military rations.

"Captain Tang, the 22nd Army is proud of having a famous general like you!" The colonel adjutant who was originally the commander of the 22nd Army, Lieutenant General Lieutenant General Lie Jiayu, held the gift of Tang Dao, with tears in his eyes.

That's not just about money.

When Tang Dao first arrived in Linfen yesterday, he had a big fuss with the Jinsui Army at the city gate. The city was already highly vigilant, so why didn't the news reach this person immediately?

If he only made a fuss and won, at most he could only say that Tang Dao had a deep background and even the Jinsui Army did not dare to ignore it. But when he heard from the news that Tang Dao was a lieutenant of the Jinsui Army, Tang Dao was furious on the spot and forced a signal flare to order the cavalry waiting outside the city to enter the city with full arms, and did not give the brigade commander faced him. He slapped the lieutenant's 40 horse whip in front of him, and beat the man half to death before he stopped.

According to the saying, this person would add fuel to the fire. It was reported that several times had been processed when the Sichuan Army belonged to the city. Originally, the cavalry of the Four-Road Regiment was just waiting for the order 300 meters outside the city gate, but it turned out to be the Sichuan Army. The cavalry of the Four-Road Regiment forced to fire the security bullets and loaded them into the city with submachine guns.

For the honor of the Sichuan Army, the heroic image of Tang's army was so touched by the heroic martial arts that the Sichuan Army in the city. Otherwise, the confidant of the army commander would not have been waiting at the gate because of Tang Dao's fame. In fact, most of the reasons were caused by Tang Dao's angrily beating the lieutenant of the Jinsui Army yesterday.

But this colonel never expected that Tang Tuanzhao would be so generous, and he would take a hundred taels of gold at one move.

Of course he knew that this was not for him personally, but for the 22nd Army, but that was also a great achievement. If the commander who was fighting in Xuzhou knew, in addition to thanking Tang Dao, the credit would be remembered to him, the director of the office.

Of course, Tang Dao's trip was not in vain. The praise of famous generals was just a false reputation, but the director of the 22nd Group Army Office really helped him a lot.

Tang Dao originally thought that this person had been in Yuancheng and Linfen for a long time, and was more familiar with him than himself. Now the situation of administrative agencies in Jin Province is now.

Last night, the Sanzhang County Magistrate’s appointment letter and the approval letter for purchasing weapons from the Ordnance Office to the Ordnance Office were sent here specifically by someone. The bank should have called and said that he only needed to bring gold bars to exchange.

However, with the lesson of the old man from Shanxi who had no bottom line, Tang Dao was careful and wanted to take the opportunity of visiting and learn more about the Ordnance Administration and other institutions, so as not to meet the shameless people again.

You should know that the old man from Shanxi only agreed to the Ordnance Administration and Tang Dao transaction. As for the price and how to trade, Tang Dao has to negotiate it himself.

Because that is business, not military supplies.

In fact, even if it is a military supply, the list and what you can get in the end will generally be discounted.

As a witness, Tang Dao really had a personal experience of the corruption during this period. Not to mention the distance, just talking about the Battle of Songjiang, the 67th Army was ordered to defend Songjiang to the death. At that time, the War Zone Command allocated five-day military rations.

Most of the military rations are potatoes, but there is also a small part of the fine grains, all of which are rice and white flour filled with sacks.

As a result, when he arrived in Songjiang, the Logistics Department of the 67th Army untied the fine grains and saw that he was almost angry. Chen Mi didn't say that the rice was, as long as he could fill his stomach, it would be fine, but at least one-third of the sand and gravel were mixed in the rice.

Merchants are unscrupulous merchants, but if there is no instruction from the head of the War Zone Logistics Department or even higher officials, those unscrupulous merchants will not dare to mix so much sand even if they have great courage!

In that era, there was no Internet, so there was no live evidence collection broadcast. Even if you sue, there was no evidence. Besides, people are sure that no matter how bad the quality of military rations is, you have to eat it! Especially when the war is urgent, even if Commander Wu is so angry, he can only swallow his anger for the time being.

Therefore, Tang Dao was always very alert to the food, weapons, ammunition and other supplies allocated from superiors. Many of them had to be inspected on the spot, but that was basically useless. If you can get two-thirds of the list, you would already be giggling.

The people above cannot be prevented. The Four Army Group can only be strict on its own and has almost zero tolerance for corruption within it. If there is a corruption incident in non-war, it is not very serious. It is basically taking off your military uniform and rushing home. But if it is during war, I'm sorry, no matter how outstanding your military achievements were before, you can only execute the way to kill and kill.

Fortunately, since the independent battalion, the Four-Road Regiment has been on the battlefield and has almost no leisure days. Most of the battalions, companies, and platoon leaders have been promoted from lower-level soldiers, and they have no chance of degenerating and corruption.

The military law of killing and firing formulated by Tang Dao is still vacant.

Tang Dao hopes that this military law will never be used, but from the perspective of human nature, this is basically impossible. The only thing he can do is to give Leng Feng, Li Jiujin and other confidant generals when they have time. If he kills the Japanese secretly keeps good goods on the battlefield, he will be reported to him at most, he will be whipped. But if he stretches his hands into the group and takes advantage of the number of brothers, he will lose his head.

Tang Dao didn't expect that as soon as he asked about this inquiry, the Sichuan Army Colonel Fan Shaoping, who was sitting opposite him, laughed and clapped his hands and laughed: "Captain Tang, come to me, that's the right person."

After hearing this person's explanation, Tang Dao couldn't help but laugh. His gift of 100 taels of gold was really worth it.

It turns out that the Linfen offices of the army are not a waste of time, and they can assume the important function of coordinating relations between all parties and the headquarters' military supplies.

Logically speaking, the director of the office should be a major general who came to the scene. Just like the 67th Army's office in Xuzhou, it sent a chief of staff. The director of the 80th Army's office in Linfen was a famous general who was shocking the world. The famous saber "Snow Wind Sword" was designed by him.

Of course, Fan Shaoping, a mere colonel, is not qualified. Even if he is the person around the commander, it is not possible. However, the top leaders of the 22nd Army are not stupid, so there are naturally reasons for sending Fan Shaoping to come.

Fan Shaoping was in the Sichuan Army, but he was not from Sichuan, but from Jinzhou Province. Moreover, one of his close relatives' in-laws held a relatively important position in Jinzhou Province.

The Director of the Ordnance Department is in charge of the largest arsenal and ordnance storage warehouse in Shanxi Province. Is this position important? It’s simply too important!

It was because Fan Shaoping held this person's thigh in Yuancheng that he was able to do well among the various ministries in Jin Province. Although he was not as good as a fish in water, as long as it was not very important, how could he win some for the 22nd Army? Otherwise, with the 22nd Army's own financial resources, he would probably have to force the grain of those wealthy businessmen and implement the title of "beggar army" to the end.

"If you want to go to Director Zhao to negotiate to purchase military equipment, Fan can be the referee and ask him to give Commander Tang the best price within the floating price range." Colonel Chuan Army said confidently.

"Then I'll bother Director Fan!" Tang Dao naturally would not refuse the kindness from his colleagues.

In the afternoon, Tang Dao was the director with the rank of major general whom he met in the Ordnance Office.

"Sit!" Although an acquaintance had already recommended it, Director Zhao did not show too much enthusiasm. He asked Tang Dao to sit down very much, turned his head and ordered his order: "Tea!"

"Director Zhao, this is the specialty of hometown that Director Fan asked me to bring to you. He said that the villagers are looking forward to us returning home." Tang Dao sat down without panic. He first took out a small cloth bag from his body and handed it over with both hands.

"The village party is looking forward to us returning home..." Director Zhao thought he was also a family lover. After hearing what Tang Dao said, his face was a little sad, and he did not dislike the simple bag that Tang Dao handed over.

As soon as he opened it, the yellow orange light made the man silent for at least two seconds. When he raised his head, his expression on his face softened three points. He stuffed the small bag into the desk drawer without any trace, turned his head and shouted outside the door: "Sautify tea!"

"Brother Tang, you have a commander's approval. If there is inventory in our Ordnance Office warehouse, it will not be sold. Why spend so much money? In terms of price, the office has price tags for all kinds of arms. Unless the commander's permission is allowed, I can't do anything else!" Director Zhao sat back on the chair and explained to Tang Dao helplessly.

Based on his life experience, Tang Dao is a reference to an acquaintance and a generous gift. The so-called local specialty of his hometown just now, but a few small yellow croakers, at least seven or eight taels, must have wanted to reduce the price. Although he has certain authority, it is also limited. What he can do without effort is to meet Tang Dao's needs as much as possible. As long as there are some in the warehouse and Tang Dao can afford money, it will be sold!

For the sake of acquaintances and money, this person's words are quite frank.

"There are rules in the army. Since the price is set, how can Tang Dao force it? My 22nd Army only hopes that Director Zhao can give me a preferential price within the scope of authority, within the scope of his authority." Tang Dao replied.

"This is not a problem. For purchases that exceed a certain amount, my department will also reduce the amount by a certain amount!" Hearing Tang Dao's words like this, the smile on the face of Director Zhao was even more.

Money is easy to make, and favors are given, so anyone who wants to be happy.

"In addition, I want to change the payment method, please ask Director Zhao to agree!" Tang Dao continued.

"Oh? Let's hear it, but according to the Chief Order, our Ordnance Department does not accept any credit, and will only pay in cash!" Director Zhao frowned.

In his opinion, Tang Dao was a bit arrogant. If you want to owe money, you can pull the weapons away. Not to mention giving away a few taels of gold, even if you multiply it by a hundred, he wouldn't have the courage! This is completely because he wants his head.

Since he was the platoon leader of the guard, he has been following the master for 20 years. He knows the temper of that person very well. He is not afraid of you being greedy. It is your child’s ability to receive money from others, but if you want to touch his cake, it is the rhythm of chopping your hands and heads.

The ordnance signing is in the province in name, but from top to bottom, the person who is not that person makes most of the profits made are put into that person's private purse. If he dares to take credit, isn't he just using that person's money to sell favors?

If he dares to do this, he probably doesn't have to wait for the Japanese to call him. The grass on his grave is half a person tall, in the warm spring breeze.

"Director Zhao, don't get me wrong. It's not that you owe credit. Cash is still cash, but not that it is a big ocean or fiat currency, but gold. Director Zhao, you can convert it according to the market price, but please ask Director Zhao to pay attention to the party in the township and not charge handling fees. You also know that the military supplies of our 22nd Army are very nervous now." Tang Dao said hurriedly.

"That's it! If the quality of gold is fine, that's fine." Director Zhao's heart was much more at ease.

Although gold is not a circulating currency, it is hard currency, which is much better than the fiat currency that is constantly depreciating, and the handling fee is not important. Anyway, the wartime financial tax is only targeted by others. The Ordnance Department and banks are all old-fashioned industries. Can banks still find their own families to collect financial taxes?

However, Director Zhao is still a smart person. He has always believed that seeing is true. He will not only listen to the tricks of Tang swords, but also commonly known as "not seeing rabbits and not showing eagles".

When Tang Dao ordered the cavalry waiting outside the Ordnance Bureau to bring in a large box containing gold, Director Zhao, who casually picked a few boxes to test the quality of the gold, his attitude towards Tang Dao improved a little more.

But Teacher Xiao He and a group of people spent two days to melt all the seized gold, including gold jewelry, and then made with standard molds. The weight error was accurate to 0.0001 grams, and many impurities were also removed. The overall weight was 100 taels less than when the seized and counted.

Tang Dao brought nearly 10,000 taels of gold with such high-quality gold, and he is a real financial supporter's father!

The money owner's father naturally responds to his requests. He has everything on the list. The Ordnance Warehouse has prepared two arsenals for a month. If it is not on the list, you can still buy it as long as it is available in the Ordnance Warehouse. What the old man likes is white flowers and gold, rather than dusty steel.

Because of the large number, it took an afternoon to check the price of items. However, these were all the officers of the Quarter Recruitment Department of the Four Army Corps, and Tang Dao was responsible for sitting in the office to drink tea.

However, the treatment at this time has become "Brother Tang, please sit down" and "Get on, give me some delicious tea".

I was busy until the evening. In addition to loading all the weapons and ammunition into the vehicle, many bulky equipment, steel raw materials and other materials had to wait until all the supplies battalions of the Four Corps arrived before they could be loaded and transported. It would take at least three days.

However, all payments have been paid, all in gold, and no penny has been spent.

Tang Dao was not afraid of Shanxi's old men who had to pay their debts. If he dared to pay his debts, he would dare to take the cavalry battalion to the ordnance office. In the end, the only thing that would be shameful would be Shanxi's old men.

This is Tang Dao's answer to the old man in Shanxi without any bottom line. If you dare to take advantage of me, I will make you lose a hundred times the amount.

Originally, Tang Dao wanted to go to the Jin Provincial Bank to exchange 20,000 taels of gold. According to the current market price, one ounce of gold is exchanged for US$32, and one ounce of gold can be exchanged for about 4 yuan. One ounce of gold is 50 grams, equivalent to 1.763 ounces. If it is 20,000 taels of gold, it can be exchanged for more than 4.4 million yuan.

According to the wartime financial tax that the old man in Shanxi had suffered a "fracture", this is also a tax of 22,000 yuan, which is 10,000 taels less, which is 11,000 yuan less.

Tang Dao's tricks were no less harmful than the little bald man and Peng Chong who ate ten big dim sums.

It is said that the old man from Shanxi who learned about this matter afterwards was almost angry and was punished to stand outside the courtyard and thought about it but couldn't figure out what he did wrong.

The money, Tang Tuanzuo, paid the best quality gold, was deposited all of it in the Jin Provincial Bank. This arms transaction also earned at least an old man more than 200,000 oceans of profit.

If you want to be a little favoritism, then Tang Dao also bought some things that were not on the list, such as some old machine tools, generators and some steel raw materials stored in the warehouse that were snatched out of Yuancheng.

But those things are not transported to the arsenal branches far away in Shaanxi and Sichuan Provinces. They will only fall gray, moldy and rot, and even become the spoils of the Japanese army because of the arrival of the Japanese army again.

The old man himself said that if someone buys it, it is not impossible to deal with it with it cheaper.

He sold it cheaper. No matter what the function, the old machine tools, motors and other equipment were sold in a total of 100,000 yuan. The steel materials were basically sold at half price at the original purchase price, and sold for a full 200 tons. But when the report was reported, the old man smiled and praised him for his business!

Why did he immediately turn against others after less than ten minutes? This is a dog-faced face!

Besides, in addition to making money and selling old equipment and raw materials that are currently unusable, he also turned waste into treasure and created additional profits!

A middle-aged man who was supposed to die in prison and had to consume food was not only sold for a high price of 10,000 yuan, but also continuously generated profits for the Jin Provincial Arsenal Office.

Tang Dao signed a contract to ensure that every ton of explosives produced would be paid 300 o'clock in the patent usage fee of the Ordnance Administration.

Isn’t this a treasure pot for the old man, and that he will continue to earn money from now on?

He did everything so perfectly, but he had to stand for 12 hours and almost swollen his thighs and calves. It was strange that Director Zhao was not wronged.

He didn't know, but fortunately he did a good job and took the gift from Tang Dao. He didn't put his hand into the old man's purse, otherwise his legs wouldn't be swollen, but lost.

The man who helped the old man in Shanxi get the treasure pot and then continuously gets profit from the Sixing Group is actually one of the biggest goals of Tang Dao coming to Linfen.

However, Tang Dao wanted to exchange gold, buy weapons, and was very worried about discussing the strategies and tactics of Southeast Shanxi. Each one was very important. Even a century-old fox like an old man in Shanxi was blinded, let alone a director of the Ordnance Office.
