Song Zheyuan also felt that the Dragon Boat Festival's independent regiment should not lack these things. The chairman was good to the direct troops. What's more, he valued the Dragon Boat Festival so much.
So Song Zheyuan was a little surprised as to why he had to pay high prices to buy quilts and cotton clothes during the Dragon Boat Festival.
Two oceans is not a small amount of money. At that time, these two oceans could host a wedding banquet and marry a beautiful daughter-in-law.
Thinking of this, Song Zheyuan became more and more confused and looked at Duanwu, waiting for Duanwu to give him an answer.
Duanwu lowered his voice again and said: "The Sichuan Army of the 22nd Army did not even have cotton-padded jackets for the battle. I felt sad when I saw it. I told the Chairman that he only gave one thousand pieces to solve. How is this enough? So I am going to give it to the Sichuan Army.
Brothers, buy some cotton clothes and go back."
Hearing this, Song Zheyuan smacked his lips and said: "Sister-in-law, the 22nd Army is a bottomless pit. How much money do you have to fill it in? Let me tell you, it's not that there is no one to help them along the way, it's basically
I can't help. They have no food, no cotton-padded clothes to keep out the cold, their weapons and equipment are backward, and there are still many people. Who do you think has enough money to afford them?
It is indeed a good thing to go out to fight the Sichuan War, but you have nothing and rely on others to solve it. Is this solution affordable? The 22nd Army alone has tens of thousands of people. A set of cotton-padded clothes for each person is worth an ocean.
Plus a set of quilts cost two dollars, how much do you think this will cost? Do you have money but no place to spend it?"
Duanwu resolutely said at this time: "No matter what, are we going to let these brothers who came out of Sichuan to fight for the sake of national justice to freeze to death in the snow before they have seen what their enemies look like?"
Lao Song, don't be careful about money. I don't accept credit during the Dragon Boat Festival. We have money and goods. However, you have to help me deliver these things to Bengbu and the 22nd Army. I don't have that many cars.
"
Song Zheyuan thought for a while and said: "Since you have said that, what else can I, Song Zheyuan, say? I still have more than 20,000 sets of cotton clothes and quilts in my warehouse, and I will give them to you. Each set costs three oceans, and
I will send vehicles to deliver these supplies to the 22nd Army and Bengbu."
"Thank you, Old Song."
Duanwu shook hands with Song Zheyuan, and at this time Song Zheyuan also shook hands with Duanwu very solemnly.
Before, he thought that Duan Wu was unrealistic and always dug holes for others. But now it seems that the young people in front of him are much better than the old guys like them.
When he encountered the Sichuan Army, he avoided it for fear of being involved by the Sichuan Army. But Duanwu did not do so. Instead, he used real money and silver to buy property for the Sichuan Army. That was the cotton clothing of almost the entire army. Although it could not completely solve the second problem.
At least a large part of the problems of the Twelfth Army can be solved.
Of course, in his eyes, the 22nd Army lacked more than just cotton-padded clothes, food, and weapons and equipment. What kind of things did they not lack?
But who has the ability to help them? Even if it's the Dragon Boat Festival, he feels that this time, he may have to give up everything.
Because it can be calculated that a set of cotton clothes and quilts, even if Song Zheyuan gave Dragon Boat Festival three yuan a set, then more than 20,000 sets would be nearly one hundred thousand yuan.
He felt that this time, the Dragon Boat Festival Independent Regiment might not be able to pay out their military pay.
Of course, Song Zheyuan would never have imagined that this was just a drop in the bucket for the Dragon Boat Festival.
Duanwu didn't even take care of this matter, so he asked Lao Abacus to bring the money to trade with Song Zheyuan. As for him? He was shopping, buying back everything that the independent group could use. Especially pigs.
The troops are about to leave soon. I will buy some pigs for the Dragon Boat Festival and give them to my brothers as a gift.
Originally, these things should be solved locally. After all, Kaifeng is hundreds of kilometers away from Bengbu.
But pigs in Kaifeng are cheaper, half as cheap as in Bengbu.
The whole Huainan area is at war, let alone pigs, few people can see them. So the price of pigs is naturally high.
But Kaifeng is different. Although they are actively preparing for war here, the war has not yet reached here. Therefore, these livestock are much cheaper than those on the frontline battlefield.
Duanwu felt that this time, he could save at least dozens of dollars.
But the guard on the side said: "Commander, you are willing to spend so much money to buy cotton-padded clothes for the 22nd Army. We are eating like a pig, and you still have to calculate the accounts carefully?"
Duanwu said: "We have to spend some money. Lao Song is also a man, and he will not sell those military supplies unless the price is paid. But we live at home, so we have to save a little.
How difficult is it to get some money these days?"
"Hey, it's Tuanzao."
The guard giggled and continued to follow the Dragon Boat Festival to catch pigs.
Although the pigs were cheap, Duanwu only bought twenty pigs because he didn't have enough trucks. The truck was used by him to buy arms. It was only when he saw the prices in Kaifeng that he caught twenty pigs and took them back with him.
Otherwise, if there were too many Dragon Boat Festival cars, he would capture hundreds of them and take them back to Bengbu, where he would also become a second-rate dealer.
"Tuanzu, are you addicted to catching pigs?"
Another guard grabbed the pig's ears and giggled.
Duanwu glanced at the other party, and wondered what this boy was thinking? He just wanted to catch more pigs to eat.
There are twenty pigs, and there are more than 5,000 people in the group. In fact, each person can't get much.
But there is nothing we can do about it. During the war years, if you can have a bite of meat, you should burn it in high incense. For example, the Sichuan Army could not even eat, let alone eat meat.
"Duanzao, Tuanzuo!"
At this moment, Lao Baanpan came back, carrying a 98K sniper rifle on his shoulder with a quadruple scope mounted on it.
This was considered a very advanced sniper rifle at the time.
Duanwu said in surprise: "Where did you get it?"
Old Abacus chuckled and said: "General Song gave it to you, the leader."
Duanwu smiled and said: "This old Song Dynasty is really a character."
Duanwu looked at the gun and thought it was good. The gun was very new and had been calibrated.
"Can!"
Duanwu put the gun in the car and asked, "Has the cotton clothes matter been settled?"
The old abacus quickly replied: "There are a total of 27,000 sets of quilts and cotton clothes. General Song left 600 sets as spares, and sold the rest to us, and received 90,000 yuan. But I have no use for it.
Instead, he gave part of the money sent by Zhang Li and Mayor Liu to General Song."
Duanwu nodded and said: "You did the right thing. What Zheng Yaoxian sent must not be exposed. If this money is known to others, it will be a big deal."
"It's a group seat, don't worry!"
Lao Abacus responded, but at this moment, another vehicle drove over from a distance, which seemed to be the presidential palace's car.
Duanwu took a look and felt that something was fishy. When he came out of Yuan's garden, the old man was already preparing to pack his things and leave. Moreover, he had already said what he needed to say, so why did the Presidential Palace car come to him?
Thinking of this, Duanwu whispered in Lao Baopan's ear: "You do this, this, and then this, this, do you understand?"
"It's a group seat!"
Lao Abacus took the order but did not leave. At the same time, the car at the Presidential Palace stopped, and it was Secretary-General Yang who got out.
The Dragon Boat Festival philistine said: "Hahaha, Lao Yang, I miss you so much!"
