After sending the civilians away, Yan Wangcai looked at the empty money box and wanted to cry.

The border area tickets just issued by the headquarters, their independent group had a full half-year funding, and a box of red tickets were gone, and none of them were left for him.

It's really too difficult.

"Old Yan?Old Yan!"

This was sad, and Li Yunlong's unique loud voice came from there.

Yan Wangcai quickly ran to Li Yunlong's house and asked, "Captain, call me?"

Li Yunlong nodded lightly and said, "Get a hundred yuan border tickets and go to the grocery store to buy some incense, candles, paper money, wine, etc. Isn't this Qingming Festival? Let's go to pay tribute to the left brothers."

Yan Wangcai's face immediately collapsed: "Captain, there is no money."

"What did you say?" Li Yunlong's eyes immediately widened and cursed, "I didn't use a single penny of the 50,000 border tickets I just sent. You told me that there is nothing? Yan Wangcai, you are a damn god, you have learned to be big, right? Believe it or not, I will shoot you now!"

"Captain, you have to be conscientious when did I become overwhelmed?" Yan Wangcai cried out, "When did the headquarters issue funds? Didn't I just counted and split one money into two spending?"

"I can even pay half a day when I buy a needle and a thread. Is I big-handed?"

"I don't want to inquire. Which one in the township is more cost-effective than me?"

Li Yunlong said angrily: "Where did the money go? Why did the 50,000 border tickets be lost?"

"What are you yelling? Lao Li, what are you yelling? How bad is it for the soldiers to hear?" As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Gang walked in from outside the door and said with a dark face, "I spent all the money."

"You spent it all?" Li Yunlong said in surprise, "Old Zhao, what did you do with so much money?"

"What else can I do?" Zhao Gang said angrily, "I used it to send subsidies to the civilians who lured the enemy. Each person had five yuan in border tickets, and deducted the agreed ten kilograms of millet."

Li Yunlong was surprised and said, "Has Xiaomi increased to 500 cents per pound?"

Zhao Gang nodded and said worriedly: "After the beginning of spring this year, there is no rain, and there is a possible drought. Some illegal grain merchants have started to hoard goods, and the grain prices are almost doubled."

"Is it so serious?" Li Yunlong's expression also became solemn.

After saying that, Li Yunlong said to Yan Wangcai again: "Old Yan, I wronged you, don't mind."

Yan Wangcai wiped his tears and said, "Captain, it's okay for you to wrong me, but you can't insult me. He said I spent money so much, then am I still from Shanxi?"

"Okay, okay, it's because I'm wrong. Can't I apologize to you?" Li Yunlong said repeatedly.

"What's the use of apology?" Yan Wangcai said with a slight mouth, "Now there is no food and no funds. How can our independent group spend the remaining half year?"

Li Yunlong said: "Don't worry about this. We have guns and bullets in our hands. We are guarding the Japanese's traffic. We are still afraid that there will be no food to eat? Look, I will get you hundreds of thousands of kilograms of food back when I look back!"

Zhao Gang said: "Old Li, the matter of food really needs to be taken seriously."

"What do you say?" Li Yunlong said in a deep voice, "Old Zhao, have you discovered it?"

Zhao Gang said: "There is an old saying that the wind rises at the end of the green apple..."

Li Yunlong interrupted Zhao Gang impatiently and said, "Old Zhao, don't drop the book bag and talk to me."

Zhao Gang rolled his eyes and said, "Why are there any movement in the grain market? Grain merchants are often the first to react to the group of people. Now not only are the occupied areas, but even grain merchants in the base areas are starting to stockpile grain. In addition to this, there is another rumor that makes people very worried."

Li Yunlong said: "What rumors?"

Zhao Gang said: "I heard that there has not been a rain in Henan since the second half of last year. By the beginning of this year, the drought has become even worse, and all the crops have died."

"It hasn't rained since last year?" Li Yunlong said in surprise, "Is it true or false?"

"It's probably true." Zhao Gang said, "Old Li, do you still remember the vegetable stealing incident a few days ago?"

"Why don't you remember?" Li Yunlong said, "A mother and son who escaped from Henan were anxious and stole several bowls of beans from the fellow villager's house. They caught them and almost beat them to death."

Zhao Gang said: "I heard from fellow villagers that although there were victims who fled from other people in previous years, there were not many victims this year, and all those who fled from Henan this year were from Henan."

Li Yunlong said: "So he has suffered a severe drought in Henan?"

Zhao Gang said: "That's why we have to prepare for the future and prepare early."

Yan Wangcai couldn't help but say, "Captain, I also think what the political commissar said is reasonable. The weather this year is very strange. Based on my years of observation experience, this year is probably a year of severe drought!"

Li Yunlong pondered for a moment, turned his head and yelled: "Staff General Wang? Staff General Wang!"

Now Li Yunlong is almost getting used to it. If you have any questions, please call Zhao Gang and Wang Yan to have a meeting first.

Soon, Wang Yan lifted up the curtain and walked into the room, smiled and said, "The political commissar Lao Yan is here, the leader, are you asking me for trouble?"

Li Yunlong nodded and said to Zhao Gang: "Old Zhao, you can talk to Staff Wang first."

Zhao Gang explained their analysis just now. Wang Yan was shocked when he heard this.

Damn it, why did you forget this? This year was 1942! 1942!

In 1942, Henan suffered a severe drought, with 12 million people suffering from disasters and 5 million people forced to flee their homes, of which 1.5 million were starved to death on the way to escape, which is an unprecedented humanitarian disaster!

Wang Yan said solemnly: "Captain, I fully agree with the political commissar's proposal. We must prepare for the future and raise as much food as possible!"

"So our opinions are unified." Li Yunlong said, "Then the question now is, how to raise food?"

Wang Yan said: "There are only two ways to raise grain. One is to spend money to buy from the occupied areas, and the other is to steal the Japanese puppet troops."

Zhao Gang said: "If you can grab food from the Japanese puppet army, that's of course good, but the problem is that after the Japanese puppet army around our Taiyue base suffered many losses, they have become very careful. The supplies for the artillery towers of each stronghold have been changed from once a week to once a day for once a day, so there will be much less oil and water."

"No matter how small the mosquitoes are, they are still meat. They need to grab them." Li Yunlong said, "The battalions of our independent regiment have been training for a while. It is time to join the actual test. Let the battalions and companies ambush the troops transported to the raised ones at each base. The amount of food they grab may not be large, but they will be considerable if they add up."

Wang Yan said: "The supplies for robbing the Japanese puppet army may not be enough."

Zhao Gang said: "Staff General Wang, are you talking about spending money to buy grain from the occupied areas?"

"Yes." Wang Yandao, "We will buy it directly from the occupied areas."
