Steel itself is the top priority among war materials!

After the Japanese occupied this area, they naturally had to collect war materials, and steel was taken care of.

In the past, there was an iron ore in Longfeng County. The Japanese didn't care much about the iron demands of the people in Baoyuan County, so they were naturally relaxed. However, later the assault regiment recovered Longfeng County, and the Japanese could not draw so many troops to deal with the assault regiment and could not capture Longfeng County, so they had to bear this tone.

But the frontline demand for steel is greater than before. In order to make a difference, they naturally stepped up the plunder of steel in the occupied areas.

Although Baoyuan County is rich in gold, it does not have iron ore. It requires a lot of steel making tools. Since you want gold, you naturally have to lose the need for mining. Therefore, the Japanese can only restrict the people from purchasing iron tools and other things.

This caused the iron tool to double in a month and the price of a crazy price increase... Seeing that the two people were quarreling for this, the people empathized with it, so they naturally thought that today, buying a kitchen knife was almost as expensive as buying a pig, so how could they not be angry with the Japanese?

Moreover, the people are not stupid. They know that if this continues, the Japanese will control the steel and control daily necessities such as food and cotton. By then, life will definitely be many times more difficult than now...

In this regard, Zhang Qingshan could only express his helplessness in his heart: the assault regiment fought at the Dove mouth, which was only a tragic victory. It was also greatly damaged. It was necessary to expand the Fifth Battalion and replenish several battalions, which required thousands of recruits at once. Now it seems that the replenishment of soldiers has been completed, but after all, the training of recruits has not been completed yet. Many recruits can't even fire guns. If they pull them out to fight against the Japanese, wouldn't they ask these recruits to die?

The Japanese have put their main energy on the front line, so before they can replenish the soldiers here, they can only transfer some of the disabled or those that need to be retreated and repaired, and rotated here, which is quite a bit of a defense, rather than mainly for dealing with the assault regiment.

To put it bluntly: both sides are in the embarrassing state of self-preservation and insufficient offense for various reasons, and are hoarding their power: they just had a decisive battle, and they are still in the stage of recuperation, and they have no intention of fighting with each other again... Although both sides know that the next decisive battle will not be too far away, it is not now after all.

Therefore, to be honest, it is difficult to achieve this goal now if the people of Baoyuan County are exploited by Japanese devils. After all, fighting is not only partial, but also the overall situation. You can’t consume the assault regiment for one Baoyuan County and then lose it together with the other three counties? Which one is more important is obvious at a glance.

"Boss, there are so many people here, it is easy to get accidents. For your safety, let's stop watching it, right?"

Zhang Qingshan glanced at Sun Liancheng and smiled and said, "It won't be a problem, let's take a look."

Sun Liancheng wanted to persuade him again, but it was obvious that Zhang Qingshan had already left his hands behind his back and continued to watch the two of them quarreled. Obviously, they didn't want to leave for the time being. He could only wink at the few plainclothes soldiers around him, asking everyone to be vigilant and protect Zhang Qingshan's safety. Especially the two responsible persons on the outermost side, if something happens, they must be prepared to respond and cover to retreat.

The blacksmith was quite impulsive. Seeing that more and more onlookers not only affected the business, but also was not good for his reputation, and it was a bit embarrassing. In addition, Tchai Fu kept talking and refused to give in, he immediately became a little angry.

He rolled up his sleeves and walked to the door outside the door and drank, "Damn, the business is not good at all. If you talk to me, I will beat you to death."

After shouting, he reached out and grabbed the other person's collar.

Unexpectedly, the other party thrust his chest and shouted, "You beat me! You beat me to death, let's see if the old mayor can ask you to pay my life."

The other party was stunned. Perhaps because the old mayor was a little afraid of the absolute authority of the entire town. For a moment, he grabbed the other party's collar but could not get out of his fist.

The blacksmith of the Chaifu family hesitated and became even more proud, shouting: "I tell you, I will eat one person and the whole family will not be hungry. One bachelor will be a life of a rotten life. You are the backbone of the family and are the pillar of the family. If you are beaten to death, the old mayor will shoot you. At that time, I will see how your family will live..."

When he called here, he saw the blacksmith frowning, and he was quite in a dilemma. Instead, he turned his head in front of the other party even more arrogantly and shouted: "If you have the ability, you can beat me to death. If you can't beat me to death, I will never finish it with you... Come! Come! If I fight back today, I will not be a hero!"

"If you don't beat him to death, then you can break his legs!"

I don’t know who it is, but I can’t bear to see the woodcutter playing a scoundrel to bully the blacksmith, so I called out in the crowd.

"Who is troublesome? Who is troublesome? If you are a man, stand up and let me recognize me!" Tchai Fu immediately looked at the crowd angrily and shouted loudly.

Seeing that no one stood up, he became even more proud. He straightened his neck and shouted to the blacksmith: "Blacksmith, you know my situation. It's not that I threatened you! Either let me go or beat me to death, otherwise, if you can lose a fire at your house, I guarantee that I can lose a second fire!"

"You!" The blacksmith's eyes were about to bulge, but he was really scared when he was threatened by such a scoundrel. For a moment, he was really angry and scared, but very helpless.

Zhang Qingshan couldn't stand it anymore, so he touched Zhou Baoyu, who had been gritting his teeth angrily by his side, and said to Tchaifu.

Zhou Baoyu immediately squeezed over the man in front and ran directly to the Tchai Fu. He grabbed Tchai Fu's collar, went up and slapped the other party four times in the face. Then, he pulled out the dagger and directly put it on the other party's neck, and specially squeezed it into the flesh, allowing the other party to completely feel the chill of the dagger.

Finally, he threatened viciously: "From now on, if you dare to say another word, I will kill you..."

He kicked the other party to the ground and shouted, "Get out!"

Sure enough, the scoundrel was afraid of ruthless people. Seeing that the other party came up, he looked like he wanted to kill people in the street and was so fierce, so how could that Tchaifu dared to say one more word? He got up and ran away, and he was mocked by the people.

I don’t know who applauded Zhou Baoyu first, but there was a warm applause at the end.

Zhou Baoyu bowed to the surroundings as a thank you, and then smiled at the blacksmith and said, "Don't be afraid of him when dealing with such a scoundrel, otherwise, he can threaten you once, and he can threaten you for the second and third time. Only by giving him a hard lesson and letting him know that you are not easy to mess with, he dare not bully you, and even avoid you when he sees you."

"Thank you guys! I remember."

"It's okay, I'm leaving, you can do your business well."

Zhou Baoyu is smart enough. He knew that Zhang Qingshan didn't want to cause trouble, and he didn't want to attract other people's attention and was exposed. So, he glanced at Zhang Qingshan and walked directly to the other end. Then he went back in a circle, so naturally he would not attract attention.

Seeing that Zhou Baoyu had solved the problem so smoothly, Zhang Qingshan smiled at Zhou Baoyu who was looking at him, and then turned around and left with his hands behind his back.

But before he could take two steps, he suddenly thought of something, stopped and looked up at the sky!

He just looked at it!

The people around him had long since disappeared from the excitement. He was the only one left on the street, watching the sky with his hands on his back, but he seemed to have not noticed it at all. Even someone was carrying a load and shouting by his side, he did not react at all, as if he was completely immersed in his mind.

The plainclothes soldiers around them didn't notice it at first, but later they noticed it, but thought that Zhang Qingshan had some special circumstances in the sky. After watching for a while, they found that there was nothing except the cloudless. Finally, everyone unanimously confirmed that Zhang Qingshan was standing there and staying there.

After all, it is on the street, and it is difficult to reveal your identity. You stand alone on the street and look up, which is absolutely eye-catching.

So, a soldier wanted to come forward to wake up Zhang Qingshan, but was stopped by Sun Bingcheng.

After all, he had been a guard for Zhang Qingshan for several months, and he still had some understanding of Zhang Qingshan's character. Sun Bingcheng knew that the reason why Zhang Qingshan was so stupid must be because he had encountered a big problem before and now he found an inspiration for a solution, so he was thinking about a specific solution. At this time, don't disturb Zhang Qingshan, otherwise, if Zhang Qingshan's inspiration is gone, everyone will be scolded instead.

Therefore, in addition to instructing everyone to be vigilant and ready to face various accidents at any time, Sun Bingcheng could only let Zhang Qingshan stay.

After Zhang Qingshan stayed there, he began to mutter, and didn't know what he was talking about. He listened carefully and seemed to be able to hear the word "threat o39; intermittently.

Fortunately, Zhang Qingshan only stayed for five or six minutes this time and woke up by himself.

Sure enough!

As soon as Zhang Qingshan woke up, he immediately laughed happily.

"Boss, you're so sad that you're so happy... You must have thought of a solution to the problem. Can I ask what problem is to solve it?"

"Haha! Bingcheng, you will know then." After Zhang Qingshan responded, he quickly looked at both sides of the street. He didn't see what he wanted, so he asked: "No one sells paper and pens nearby, or can you find paper and pens? Find paper and pens for me quickly."

"Boss, aren't you too happy? You often say that as a leader, you can't be without education. Even if you don't, you should always carry paper and pen and be prepared to study at any time... Isn't you holding a pen on your chest? Moreover, you always carry a small notebook..."

"You guy is just a weird thing!" Zhang Qingshan glared at Sun Bingcheng who was talking strange things fiercely - although Zhang Qingshan often said this strange thing, he said it was OK, and others used this to teach him a lesson, and it would not work.

Then, he pulled out his pen, took out a small notebook, and started writing it on it.

After writing, he checked it again, and then found a person who sold paper and pen. He copied the passage he had just written on a large piece of paper with a brush, put it in an envelope, and handed it to Sun Bingcheng, asking him to send someone to Zhou Baichuan immediately, and asked Zhou Baichuan to send someone to hurry up. Through other methods, he would not only prevent the person sent to deliver the letter, but also implicated Zhou Baichuan, but also ensure that the letter could be handed over to Yamaguchi Naoi, and at least it would be handed over to the Japanese officers so that he could hand it over to Yamaguchi Naoi.

It turned out that when he was stunned, he really thought of a solution to the biggest problem at present...
