In the middle of the night, Zhang Tianhao once again came to the outside of Warehouse No. 4 of Shanghai Yangtze River Terminal, took out the key, and opened it carefully.

He saw a large amount of food stored inside and couldn't help laughing.

This is the grain shipped to Shanghai from Hong Kong. It has been shipped in from the dock and has passed the security check in Shanghai. Naturally, there are no major problems.

"Well, it's only 320 tons. This is the best they can do."

Zhang Tianhao sighed, feeling quite helpless.

It was quite rare that it could be transported here carefully, under the noses of the Japanese, and passed the Japanese inspection.

Although it is not much, it is already a certain amount that comrades in Shanghai can get.

After carefully collecting the grain, Zhang Tianhao turned around and walked out of the warehouse, closed the door, and then disappeared directly on the dock.

……

Inside a warehouse of the Subei Command.

Zhang Tianhao stood there and waved his hand. Nearly 10,000 tons of grain appeared directly in the warehouse and were neatly arranged. It looked like a reassuring sight.

Nearly 10,000 tons of grain was indeed the largest amount of grain he had collected in recent times. It was not that he did not want to collect it, but he collected too much grain in Hong Kong, which even alarmed the Japanese.

"It can hold out for a while longer."

Nearly 10,000 tons of food for a million troops is only about ten days' worth of food!
When he thought of this, Zhang Tianhao felt a headache.

"Alas, there is still a long way to go in the work!"

He sighed again, then closed the warehouse door and disappeared into the night.

When he appeared again, he had returned to his own courtyard.

When he walked in again, he saw He Qiaoer lying on the bed, having fallen asleep at some point.

"This little girl has been working so hard. I haven't had much time to spend with her!"

He went to a room at the side, drew some hot water and washed himself.

Soon, he got into bed and carefully held the pregnant He Qiaoer in his arms.

……

The next day, when he was still sleeping, he heard the phone on the table ringing.

He relaxed for a rare moment and opened his eyes again with some dissatisfaction. After all, he had just finished all his work at dawn.

Just when I was feeling sleepy, the phone call came.

"Hello, I'm Zhang Tianhao, who is this?"

"Master, you are back!"

When Zuo Mingming on the other end of the phone heard this, he immediately laughed happily.

"Master, we have received the food you arranged for someone to send back. Ten thousand tons of food. Thank you for your hard work, Master."

"Get lost! I'm almost broke with all this food!"

Zhang Tianhao cursed with a bad smile, and then asked casually: "Everyone should save some food in northern Jiangsu. I have really tried my best to get so much food."

"Master, I understand. I can hold out for a few more days this time."

"Also, Lao Zhou has complained to me that many people have nothing to eat. This batch of food can help solve their urgent problem!"

"Lao Zhou discussed with me and Lao Zhao last night that we might have to implement a new currency around the New Year. We will collect all the money from other places and give it to you to go shopping."

"That's fine, but the only thing is that the gold is a reserve and can't be moved around. Do you understand?"

"Understood. The gold will not be moved around. It will not be exchanged with anyone else!"

“This is better!”

Zhang Tianhao also understood that without gold reserves, all parties might really face serious problems. What he had to do now was to implement the Subei currency as soon as possible.

"Master, Lao Zhao discussed with me whether a million troops are too many. We already have nearly 80 troops. We can suspend conscription. Our supplies can't support it, and there is a shortage of labor in various places below." "Opening up wasteland and farming are difficult, really."

"80 million!"

Zhang Tianhao thought about it and sighed helplessly.

"Okay, but these 80 soldiers, along with the guard regiment, will also be included in the regular army's training intensity. They may be mobilized to the battlefield at any time."

"This is no problem."

"But, Master, why do we need so many troops? We in Northern Jiangsu cannot afford to support them!"

"The Japanese are now blockading our northern Jiangsu, and the biggest problem is that the Japanese are preparing to attack our northern Jiangsu. If we can get through this time, we will have a smooth journey in northern Jiangsu in the future. Do you understand?"

"really?"

"Ok!"

Zhang Tianhao knew that this war might affect future developments and even the policies adopted by the Japanese towards northern Jiangsu.

Now, only when the Japanese are frightened, will Zhang Tianhao plan to slowly swallow up the areas occupied by the Japanese.

"Master, Lao Zhao is here. Would you like Lao Zhao to talk to you?"

"No need. I came here at dawn. I need to rest for a while. My injuries have almost healed. I think I can work normally at the headquarters next."

"That's better. With the young master here, we at least have a backbone."

"You, you!"

Zhang Tianhao also smiled bitterly when he heard it.

"You think too much. You are the ones who should do the work. I am still thinking about how to solve the food problem. Really. This is the top priority."

"In addition, the trained soldiers can also be used to open up wasteland and cultivate the land, otherwise they will have nothing to eat next year."

"understand!"

Zuo Mingming also understood the current situation. The biggest problem was still the food problem. Only by solving this problem could all other problems be solved slowly.

"By the way, Lao Zuo, I will be at home with my wife for the next two days. If you have any questions, you can come to me directly. I am too tired."

"it is good!"

Zhang Tianhao then hung up the phone, and when he turned around, he saw a pair of big eyes staring at him, as if they wanted to see through him.

"Tianhao, have you recovered?"

"Tianhao, when did you come out?"

"Tianhao, if you go down there for several days, I will miss you to death."

"Okay, stop crying. If you keep crying you will turn into a little cat."

Zhang Tianhao also coaxed her carefully, and with his other hand he gently wiped away the tears on He Qiaoer's face.

"You are pregnant now, so you shouldn't get excited over there, understand?"

"Mmmmmmm!"

As Zhang Tianhao coaxed her, He Qiaoer recovered after a while. With slightly red eyes, she glared at Zhang Tianhao, then snuggled into Zhang Tianhao's arms and hugged him tightly.

"Tianhao, you won't go down to heal your wounds again this time, right?"

"I have to be busy at the headquarters for a while, so I don't have the time to heal my wounds. Besides, my wounds are almost healed. However, I will accompany you for the next two days."

"Thank you, Tianhao!"

"You're welcome!"

Zhang Tianhao also hugged her gently, then he got into bed again and closed his eyes again. (End of this chapter)
