"Oh, it's Li Sang, what do you have to consult?"
Shinnosuke Murakami asked.
"That's the case, didn't the special high school issue a temporary ban some time ago?
It is said that merchants are not allowed to transport goods out of Stone Town for the time being, and if there are merchants who bring goods into Stone Town for sale, they can only carry non-precious metal currency out of the city.
I would like to ask, how long is this temporary ban going on?
Or will the ban be maintained in the future?
Li Yixin asked suspiciously on the other end of the phone.
After Li Yixin's reminder, Shinnosuke Murakami remembered that His Excellency Fujita Daisa had indeed issued this ban, and this temporary ban was actually to allow the shopkeeper of Xinglong Firm to leave Stone Town with counterfeit fiat money, so that the counterfeit fiat currency could be brought back to the area ruled by the Chongqing government.
And on the day of the ambush of the truck, he also used this temporary ban as an excuse to go to the checkpoint in the west of the city to check the items that the shopkeeper He was carrying when he left.
It's just that after investigation, there is no suspicion that there is no doubt in the shopkeeper He, so Shinnosuke Murakami has already left this temporary ban behind, completely forgetting that there is still this temporary ban.
Shinnosuke Murakami was a little strange why Li Yixin suddenly mentioned this temporary ban, so he asked rhetorically: "Li San, why are you so concerned about this temporary ban?"
” Li Yixin said helplessly: "Murakami-kun, my anti-smuggling investigation department was originally to manage all kinds of materials in and out of Stone Town.
If this temporary ban continues, then our work will be largely undone, as no mission material can be transported out of the city, whether on the Imperial Army's prohibition list or not.
Another point, after the promulgation of this temporary ban, the merchants in Stone Town are now unable to get out of the goods, and the whole business has come to a standstill, and they are all eager to abolish this temporary ban as soon as possible, otherwise the commerce in Stone Town will be hit hard in the future, and at that time the society will be depressed and materials will be in short supply, which will bring serious problems to the lives of everyone in Stone Town.
Therefore, many businessmen have come to me with various connections, hoping that I can report this situation to the princes of the special high class.
The day before yesterday, when I moved to a new house, a lot of businessmen came, and Murakami-kun should have seen it at the scene.
Their purpose was to ask me to apply to the Special High School to revoke the temporary ban. ” Li Yixin's words are very reasonable, which is very clear to Shinnosuke Murakami, as a college student who has studied business before, and is also very clear about the kind of prospects described by Li Yixin.
In his opinion, since the counterfeit banknotes of the fiat currency have been burned, and the only four remaining boxes of counterfeit banknotes have been taken away by the shopkeeper He, there is no problem with this temporary ban even if it is lifted.
It's just that this temporary ban was issued by Fujita Daisa, and he didn't have the right to repeal it, so he said to Li Yixin: "Li Sang, I know what you said.
It's just that this temporary ban was personally decided by His Excellency Fujita Daisa, and I have no way to get rid of it.
You may need to wait a little longer, I will report to His Excellency Osa, and this matter depends on His Excellency Dasa's own attitude. ” Only then did Li Yixin know that this temporary ban was decided by Yukio Fujita himself, and Shinnosuke Murakami had no choice, and he did not have the possibility that Yukio Fujita had more contact, so he could only pretend to be grateful and said to Shinnosuke Murakami: "So that's the case, I understand."
Murakami-kun, please raise this matter with His Excellency Daisa Fujita, please help, please!
” Hanging up the phone, Shinnosuke Murakami immediately walked to Yukio Fujita's office, and when he arrived at the door, he knocked on the door lightly, only to hear Yukio Fujita say majestically inside: "Come in." ” Shinnosuke Murakami pushed the door in, walked to Yukio Fujita's desk with his legs together, bowed and reported: "Your Excellency, Li Yixin called just now to ask when the ban that no goods are allowed to be transported out of the city and merchants can only leave with fiat currency can be lifted.
According to him, now that business in Stone Town has basically completely stopped, what do you think can be done?
” Yukio Fujita had been writing and drawing on a document when Shinnosuke Murakami came in, and knowing that Shinnosuke Murakami had finished reporting, he stopped the pen in his hand and asked with a smile: "Murakami-kun, as a top business student at Waseda University in the Empire, what do you think of this matter?"
” "The subordinates believe that this temporary ban was originally promulgated because it was to cooperate with the 'Song Agency' to carry out economic warfare, and now this batch of counterfeit banknotes has been burned, and four boxes have been taken away by the shopkeeper of Xinglong Firm, so there is no need for this temporary ban to continue to exist, and it should be abolished."
Shinnosuke Murakami replied respectfully.
Yukio Fujita was noncommittal to Shinnosuke Murakami's suggestion, but suddenly asked another question: "Murakami-kun, has there been any progress in the secret investigation on Yan Sang's side?"
” "Report to Your Excellency, I haven't heard any progress yet.
After all, this is a secret investigation, in order to alarm the 'Yuan Datou', so the investigation is slow to progress for the sake of secrecy.
Shinnosuke Murakami replied with a shake of his head.
Yukio Fujita smiled coldly, threw the pen in his hand on the file on the desk, and said, "Hmph!
Those merchants still think that we will lift this ban, what a wishful thinking!
The ban will not be lifted until the investigation of the ambush of the Imperial Army truck has not been investigated.
You just give Li Yixin a reply and ask him to tell those merchants in Stone City.
If they don't find a way to help the Imperial Army find the killer, then this temporary ban will become a permanent ban.
Murakami-kun, you have to learn to force those Shina people to help us in the Great Japanese Empire.
If such a serious incident happened in Stone Town, the people of China would have a good time if they didn't give an explanation!
” Shinnosuke Murakami asked with some hesitation: "But didn't His Excellency Osa often teach me that now this stone town belongs to the jurisdiction of our Great Japanese Empire, and it is also necessary to develop the economy and maintain prosperity in order to make those stubborn Shina people understand that only cooperating with the Great Japanese Empire is the right thing to do?"
If this temporary ban is maintained, I fear that it will give a false pretext to those who are still fighting against the Empire, which will not be conducive to the Empire's long-term control of the existing control areas.
There is a clear conflict between the two. ” "No, no, Murakami-kun, you're wrong.
There is an old saying in China, this time and that time.
If there had been no assassination of Kobayashi-kun and no ambush of the Imperial army's truck, there would have been nothing wrong with lifting the temporary ban.
Yukio Fujita shook his head and said.
