Traveling through 1942 with space

Chapter 115 Getting rich suddenly

They were collected little by little, and Hou Xiaoge didn't feel it yet, but now that they are piled together, the impact is indeed great.

On the floor of the spacious warehouse, bundles of rifles were neatly stacked. It looked spectacular and made people want to pick them up and shoot a few times.

In particular, Hou Xiaoge found several antiques among a pile of miscellaneous guns, including two hand-held rifles and five three-barreled muskets. The hand-held rifle was nearly two meters long and had a caliber similar to that of a cannon. Hou Xiaoge estimated that one shot from this thing could kill an elephant. The hand-held rifle and three-barreled musket were the same as the iron cannons used by Hou Xiaoge's village during weddings and funerals when he was a child, but they were a few sizes larger. After checking the long rifles, Hou Xiaoge looked at the machine guns beside him.

A row of nine shiny light machine guns gave off a terrifying aura, and Hou Xiaoge wished he could find a group of thugs to shoot them immediately.

There were more than twenty pistols arranged in two rows, six of which looked quite new, and the rest were mostly box guns. There was also a revolver, which was rare in China and no one knew where it was obtained from.

Next to the pistol were more than a dozen boxes of ammunition stacked up to a height of one person, some of which contained grenades, some of which contained bombs, and some of which contained bullets.

In those days, bullets were all made of brass, and they looked golden and very attractive. Indeed, these bullets cost only two or three cents each, and there were 20,000 of them here, which were worth thousands of dollars!

Looking at so many bullets, Hou Xiaoge's first reaction was that each red soldier had only three bullets at most when fighting. After shooting, he would put on the bayonet of his gun and charge forward. It is unknown how many people died due to lack of ammunition.

In the most conspicuous position, nearly ten cannons are majestically arranged. The most eye-catching ones are of course the six large iron cannons. Their sturdy and heavy bodies are really intimidating.

These antiques were incredibly heavy. Hou Xiaoge estimated that they weighed about 75 to kilograms and could only reach a distance of one or two kilometers at most. Hou Xiaoge finally read the inscriptions on the other three mortars. These were Yan Laoxi's Jin-made mm mortars.

These three cannons were not big, weighing only a few dozen kilograms, and they were not as intimidating as the big iron cannon, but Hou Xiaoge knew that the speed of fire and convenience of modern cannons were much better than those of old antique cannons. There were several boxes of shells next to the cannons. The shells for mortars were only slightly larger than water bottles, but the shells for iron cannons were much larger, like bowling balls, round and round, and they were all shrapnel shells. When they hit the target, they were also very powerful.

After looking at the guns, the last pile was some damaged guns and a heavy machine gun. Hou Xiaoge saw that the support was broken, but the barrel was still intact.

"Ling'er, see if this can be repaired? It would be a pity if it can't be repaired." Hou Xiaoge asked.

"Master, this is possible. I can use iron rods to fuse them together directly. However, the support made in this way cannot be removed." Ling'er said after taking a look.

“Okay, let’s do it!” As long as it works, Hou Xiaoge doesn’t care about anything else.

Finally, there are four or five bundles of bayonets. These bayonets are the bayonets on the guns. They are usually put away and will be installed during hand-to-hand combat.

Some of the bayonets found by Hou Xiaoge had blood stains that had dried into purple and black on their handles and blades. It is unknown how many innocent people were killed by these bayonets.

"Okay, Ling'er, you continue to sort out the clutter!" After checking, Hou Xiaoge asked Ling'er to continue with her work.

"Okay, Master!"

After Ling'er left, Hou Xiaoge checked the food and bulk property they had received. There were also quite a few scattered properties, so he probably had to wait until Ling'er finished sorting them before he could look at them again.

In the food area, the food in the space itself can be described as piling up like a mountain after several months of development.

The grain produced in the space now is at least more than 80 tons, most of which are fine grains such as corn, wheat, and rice.

Today, we received even more food from the bandit's lair, totaling more than 180 tons of food, half of which was coarse grain and half was fine grain. This food was enough to feed more than 1,000 bandits for more than a year.

With food in hand, there is no need to worry. Hou Xiaoge has also been hungry before. Looking at the twenty or so full granaries, he feels extremely satisfied.

However, I still had to silently thank the Ringwraith Ling'er in my heart, otherwise if Hou Xiaoge relied on himself, it would be difficult to get these grain stores.

As the planting space expands, the nearly 100 acres of land in Tianxian Ring has a huge output even though only one-third of it is food.

The yield per mu is nearly 3,000 kilograms. After the upgraded space, Hou Xiaoge harvested more than 70 tons of grain in the first crop. The second crop of grain is about to mature, which will be dozens of tons again.

There are so many things stored in the space warehouse in the past few months that there is almost no room for them in an acre of land. Hou Xiaoge is a little worried now.

Therefore, Hou Xiaoge had no intention of taking the nearly 200 tons of grain from the bandits. He planned to donate most of it to his fellow victims and a small part to anti-Japanese fighters.

In fact, let alone these foods, even the food produced in his own space later, Hou Xiaoge would give half of it and sell half of it to the anti-Japanese army until the end of the war.

After checking the food, Hou Xiaoge came to the silver vault he had circled in the space.

At this time, in addition to the several boxes of property that Hou Xiaoge had originally collected from the bandits in Huangfeng Village, there were another twelve large wooden boxes in the silver vault.

Hou Xiaoge went over and opened the boxes one by one. Five of them were filled with copper coins. Hou Xiaoge estimated that this box would be worth four or five hundred dollars if exchanged for it.

Hou Xiaoge felt that these copper coins were the bloodiest, because only ordinary people used copper coins in their daily lives, while landlords and wealthy families used banknotes and dollars.

So it goes without saying that these copper coins were all snatched from the common people by bandits. It can be said that every one of them is stained with blood.

Although these five boxes of copper coins are stained with the blood of ordinary people, they are the least valuable. The five boxes together are worth at most one or two thousand dollars. The valuable ones are the other eight boxes.

There were eight boxes, six of which were filled with dollars, one was filled with jewelry, and one was filled with gold and banknotes.

There were six large boxes full of silver dollars, not even wrapped in red paper, just scattered in the boxes. It was quite shocking at first glance.

These wooden boxes are about one meter in volume. Hou Xiaoge estimated that they are worth at least hundreds of thousands of dollars. After the calculation, Hou Xiaoge's real body in the outside world almost screamed in shock.

The box for jewelry was also one meter in size, but only half of it was filled. It contained some jewelry, jade, agate, and silver jewelry, probably about two or three hundred pieces in total.

Hou Xiaoge estimated that these jewellery were recently looted by the bandits, and the others should have been sold through other channels, otherwise there wouldn't be only these few.

However, Hou Xiaoge estimated that the price of this small half box of jewelry was no lower than a box of dollars, after all, there were a lot of jade and gems in it.

There were no gold ornaments, but Hou Xiaoge understood after taking a look at the box where the gold was kept.

There were as many as 120 to 130 yellow croakers of all sizes that contained gold. These were all okay, but the most enviable thing was the gold bricks the size of four children's palms lying nearby.

These gold bricks did not have the seal of the Gold Minting Bureau, and it was obvious that they were secretly melted by bandits. Hou Xiaoge tested it with his mental power and found that this gold brick was at least five or six layers thick, which was really tempting.

Xiaoge estimated that the total weight of these golden treasures was about 30 to 40 kilograms. It was truly an astonishing fortune!
