The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 567
In the blink of an eye, it was June.

The first great event that the independent group ushered in was the bumper harvest of high-yielding potatoes planted in February.

More than 1000 catties of potatoes were originally sown, and three to five acres of land were planted. This time, they had a bumper harvest. The soldiers and civilians of the Independence Regiment were busy for three full days before harvesting all the potatoes.

When throwing the potatoes, the soldiers and villagers were cautious one by one, looking at the potatoes that were bigger than fists, their faces were full of excitement.

The harvested potatoes piled up several hills, and after weighing, the total was more than 7000 catties.

This is more than 7000 catties of high-yielding potatoes!

With these high-yield potatoes, Kong Jie felt more at ease. Under such circumstances, even if the Japanese army completely sealed off the roots.Relying on growing potatoes, the soldiers would not go hungry.

In addition, Kong Jie also heard that the potato mother and son he gave to Li Yunlong and Ding Wei, as well as the brigade commander, also had a very high yield.

Realize the incredible yield per acre of this high-yielding potato variety.

The headquarters even characterized this high-yield potato as a basic military strategic material for the base area.

Cadres at all levels have realized the great potential value of these high-yielding potatoes.

"As long as there are experienced farmers responsible for planting, proper fertilization, and better management, the yield per mu can even reach five to six thousand catties, and the worst is three to four thousand catties. I have never heard of such a high-yielding potato. .”

"One mu of land is calculated as two or three hundred catties of potatoes."

"One crop of three hundred catties of potatoes is six thousand catties, and how much is another crop of these six thousand catties of potatoes? That is 12 catties. If the 12 catties grows one more crop, it will be several hundred Tens of thousands of catties of potatoes, if these millions of catties of potatoes are planted again, be good... just this, it is still a conservative estimate of the yield per mu, I am a little afraid to continue counting."

At the brigade headquarters, the chief of staff made some calculations, but was shocked by the figures he had calculated, and was speechless.

"I heard that this batch of high-yield potatoes was originally seized by Kong Jiejue from a small devil, and it only weighed a few dozen catties."

"How long has it been? It's been more than a year. Let's plant this batch of potatoes. The harvested potatoes are five or six thousand catties."

"In the future, as the number of mothers and sons of potatoes increases, the yield of potatoes we continue to harvest will become very amazing."

The brigade commander was also deeply moved by this.

The political commissar said with a smile: "It seems that Comrade Kong Jie is not only a tiger general, a wise general, but also a blessed general."

"Since the Hundred Regiments War, the Japanese army has strengthened the economic and military blockade of our base areas, and the situation of all units is extremely difficult.

During this period of time, following the actions of Kong Jie and his three regiments of the Iron Triangle, this improved. Coupled with the business cooperation, exchange and learning between each regiment and the independent regiment, Kong Jie led the surrounding regiments to bring the economic The situation has improved a lot. "

"But that won't solve the fundamental problem after all. Now that we have these high-yielding potatoes, if we use them well, it will be the worst. We can feed millions of troops even if we eat potatoes!"

The brigade commander, the political commissar, and the chief of staff were all talking with smiles on their faces, when the communications corps suddenly rushed to the brigade headquarters to report:

"Report to the brigade commander, the transport team of the Independent Regiment has sent a batch of potatoes, and the carriage pulling the potatoes has already parked outside the yard."

"Hey, this is really talking about Cao Cao, Cao Cao is coming, let's take a look." The brigade commander laughed.

The three of them went out of the yard, and at a glance, there were three carriages. The carriages had been remodeled. There were baffles around the carts, and the carts were full of potatoes.

The captain of the transportation team of the independent regiment that led the team was no stranger to the brigade commander and his party, and had been running here for more than a year.

Seeing the brigade commander, the captain put his heels together, saluted the military, and replied: "Report to the brigade commander, the potatoes of our independent regiment have had a bumper harvest. We followed the regimental commander's order. These are good ones and sent to the brigade headquarters." Two thousand catties of potatoes, please accept the brigade commander!"

"Kong Jie is such a big hand."

Knowing the potential value of these high-yield potatoes, the brigade leader and his party did not underestimate the two thousand catties of potatoes.

The chief of staff asked curiously: "I heard that in February, Kong Jie sowed more than 1000 catties of potatoes from the independent regiment. How much did you reap from this bumper harvest?"

The captain smiled and replied, "I'm sorry, Chief of Staff, I only harvested more than 7000 catties."

"More than 7000 catties!!!" The chief of staff was stunned when he heard this, but he was relieved in his heart. No wonder Kong Jie is so generous!

The brigade commander asked, "What is Kong Jie going to do with the 2 catties of potatoes?"

The captain replied: "Reporting to the brigade commander, our regiment leader said that these high-yield potatoes are a good thing, and our independent regiment can't keep them privately. These 2 catties of high-yield potato seeds will be distributed to the various regiments and departments of our base area, so that we can truly harvest them." play a role.”

"So our regiment leader has prepared a few carts of potatoes as gifts for the surrounding regiments, and has sent transportation teams to deliver them."

"The head of the brigade department has explained that it was the first to send over, and the number of people sent was also the largest."

"Kong Jie has a heart!" The brigade commander nodded, and explained: "Go back and tell Kong Jie for me that this batch of potatoes should not be used as military rations in a hurry, but as a mother and son of potatoes, continue to expand planting and strive for the next harvest. Let the yield per mu of this high-yielding potato exceed 20 jin."

"Yes!" The captain replied.

After the transportation team left, the chief of staff said with emotion: "Brigade Commander, Kong Jie is still kind in his work, and he doesn't forget the brother troops around him when he gets rich."

"As Kong Jie said at the brigade headquarters, his independent regiment is getting rich first and then getting rich later. It seems that this is really the case now. Look at the economic situation of our troops around the independent regiment. That is It's getting better every day."

These words reminded the brigade commander, who immediately said:

"That's right. The Independence Regiment is getting richer. We haven't forgotten the brothers in the surrounding areas. Our base area has grown economically, and we must not forget the surrounding base areas. In this way, the two thousand catties of potatoes, no, add another thousand catties, and arrange a transportation team immediately , and send it to the Jizhong Military Region.”

"In addition, the direction of Yan'an can't be left behind, so let's send three thousand catties of potatoes there! The environment in the rear is stable, and it is actually more suitable for expanding planting."

The chief of staff did the math, and said with a wry smile: "Well, in this way, we only harvested five or six thousand catties of potatoes, and there are only two thousand catties left after changing hands. This is all thanks to the batch of potatoes sent by Kong Jie!"

The brigade commander smiled and said: "It's okay, I will go to the independent group for a walk later, and the three to five thousand catties of potatoes will come back."

chief of staff:"……"

I mourn for Kong Jie for two seconds from the bottom of my heart.

This is really a big tree attracting the wind. Years ago, Kong Jie was able to make a fortune silently, and he was easily blamed by Li Yunlong.

Right now, with the growth and development of the independent regiment, it will be unable to contain it after all.

Even the brigade commander, who likes to go to Li Yunlong to congratulate him for a fortune, has now changed his target and placed it on Kong Jie.

……

Niukou Village.

Independent regiment.

Kong Jie was arranging for the transport team to load the trucks, transporting five hundred catties or one thousand catties of potatoes to the direction of each regiment.

Shen Quan, the second battalion commander who rushed to the regiment headquarters to report the situation, looked distressed.

"Leader, these are rare high-yield potatoes. If you plant these few truckloads of potatoes, you will be able to harvest tens of thousands of catties later. Don't you feel bad about sending out so many precious potatoes?"

The awe-inspiring Captain Kong said with a serious face: "Shen Quan, you have to understand that as our independent group grows stronger and the economy develops steadily, this also means that the burden on our independent group's shoulders is heavier. We have Obligate to help the development of the surrounding regiments and ministries, and have the obligation to lead them to grow and become rich."

"Just the development of our independent group, what's going on?"

"It should be willing, we have to be willing, our independent regiment does not take care of the brother troops around, who will take care of it?"

After all, Kong Jie gave the order for the transportation team to set off, while he left from the regiment headquarters and went to the repair shop.

Looking at the back of Wei An, the head of the regiment, who went away, Shen Quan was in awe.

Li Wenjie, the acting political commissar standing side by side with Shen Quan, kept holding back his laughter, and now he couldn't hold it anymore, and tearfully said:
"Second Battalion Commander, do you really think that these potatoes were given away for nothing by the regimental commander?"

"Isn't it?" Shen Quan asked doubtfully.

Li Wenjie said with a smile: "This is the prepaid wages that the head of the regiment has agreed with the heads of each regiment."

"Salary?"

"You forgot, some time ago, after the internal exchange meeting of our independent regiment, and the leaders of each regiment returned to Genjidi, they immediately started cooperation with our independent regiment in arms production and various businesses."

"To put it bluntly, it's just a part-time job for our team leader. The team leader has to pay the wages, right? Right now, this batch of potatoes is the wages paid in advance."

"At the brigade headquarters, the head of the brigade knew that the brigade leader would definitely speak, so he sent two thousand catties of potatoes in advance to block it."

"Then pass on the news that we are going to send potatoes to the regiments to the brigade headquarters. This is both fame and fortune."

"The leader's arrangement is clever. It's killing three birds with one stone, no, it's killing three birds with one potato."

"........."

Shen Quan was speechless for a moment.

But after thinking about it, I feel relieved, this is the consistent style of the head of the group for more than a year!
Li Wenjie added and explained: "The leader said that it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. Sometimes it is not always good to give it for free. The other leader should say it. Your old Kong is now arrogant. Generous, give this to that, why do you? You have two shoulders and one head, why do you look down on our old comrades in arms?"

"That's why the head of the regiment has to use this method to help other regiments in a disguised form by exchanging with each other."

"Believe it or not, just like this, the heads of the regiments will be grateful to our head, and the effect will be even better!"

Shen Quan nodded in agreement.

He knew this kind of warrior's mentality very well, just like him and Wang Leihu, the commander of the first battalion, if Wang Leihu sent him a batch of equipment suddenly, he would really feel a little uneasy in his heart.

But if he exchanged or tricked him from the first battalion commander with his own ability and means, he would feel more comfortable.

The head of the regiment has firmly grasped the hearts of the heads of the regiments.
