Food! Grain.

Gao Hongsheng has been talking about food for the past few days, there is no way! He had 600 tons of grain in his hands and had nowhere to put it.

Isn't that sad? The warehouse area was burned down by the people, and he couldn't release the goods secretly.

Now the treasury of Jinan Mansion is so tight that there is no place to rent it to him, isn't this a big trouble?

Only when the entire construction of that huge warehouse area is completed will it be possible for him to have a place to access the goods.

There are nearly 200 warehouses in that warehouse area, covering an area of nearly 10,000 acres, and the eight gates can be entered and exited in all directions.

The most important point is that the management of the warehouse area is in the hands of Gao Hongsheng, that is, he wants to use that and that of the two hundred warehouses, and he doesn't have to say hello to other people at all, so that no one can find out if he accesses any items.

After all, with so many imports and exports in such a large warehouse area, God knows when you will bring in the freight.

The warehouse area will be the material distribution center of the entire Jinan Mansion in the future, and a trading center covering an area of ten acres will also be built synchronously near the urban area of the warehouse, so that a large wholesale market will basically be formed, and the urban area will become a retail market, which is also the result of Gao Hongsheng and the merchants feeling that bulk goods in and out of Jinan Mansion are too inconvenient.

In this warehouse area, no less than 50,000 taels of silver were thrown into it, Gao Hongsheng paid 30,000 taels of compensation, and the rest was the money collected by various stores, and 5,000 taels were sent to the prefect, otherwise he would not have thought about building such a big project.

In fact, the prefects of Jinan Mansion are also a little scared now, and they went out to exterminate Huangya Mountain, but they were defeated and returned, all the weapons and equipment were lost, and a lot of people died.

Before the lawsuit with the foreign priests was over, there was a whole city burning of foreign goods.

Fortunately, the merchants did not make a fuss, but just asked for the construction of a large warehouse area in the east of the city.

He even paid for the monks and Taoist priests to eliminate the influence, otherwise these merchants really don't know what to do if they make trouble.

Even if Gao Hongsheng didn't send the silver in, they would happily agree to the merchants' requests, but Gao Hongsheng was thinking about trying not to attract the attention of these old men, and not to sneak into the village to shoot, otherwise those merchants would have made a fuss.

As for the gods and goddesses who made rumors, Wang Zhutou and they took Gao Hongsheng's silver taels, and they didn't catch them to death, but they really caught the gods and fools in the realm of Jinan Mansion cleanly, without their gossip to confuse the public, plus Gao Hongsheng and the monks and Taoists they invited came out, and the foreign goods in each store have begun to sell slowly.

But it takes time for the influence to be eliminated little by little, and Gao Hongsheng has no choice, so he has to practice the bandits in a boring way, and at the same time practice his marksmanship.

Relying on the Jinan Machinery Bureau, the ammunition is really not worried, and the silver goes out, and the yellow, orange and orange bullets are consumed by Gao Hongsheng and the bandits.

Of course, the effect is not bad, now Gao Hongsheng is very western cowboy from taking out the gun and aiming to firing a very western cowboy, he is not a fast gunner, but it is not too much, the speed is purely a pile of bullets, wrong. heaped out of silver.

The little bandits are not bad, the queue is not even, and the queue can be crooked, but in terms of marksmanship, it is not a small improvement, after the high-intensity mobile shè training of 100 rounds a day, the first hit rate of the moving target within 200 or 300 meters has increased from the original zero to 10 percent, which is already a considerable improvement.

As for the fixed target, Gao Hongsheng has never taken anyone to practice at all, and it is okay to play a moving target, and the fixed target can pass the test with a little practice, which is a very simple reason.

It is said that marksmanship is piled up with bullets, Gao Hongsheng really realized this, and in more than half a month, the barrel of a rifle used by the Mauser to practice marksmanship was scrapped.

You must know that Gao Hongsheng and they take care of it every day, and the first task after each target is to maintain the firearms, but after half a month, the barrels of the rifles they used for practice are still scrapped.

The main reason is that the barrel strength of this era is not enough, and there are not many guns at all, so the rifling will not work, and Gao Hongsheng They have high requirements, fortunately, relying on the Jinan Machinery Bureau, nothing else can be done, but the barrel and bullets can still be bought for a little silver, otherwise Gao Hongsheng will eliminate a large number of weapons just by practicing marksmanship.

But even such a flowing silver is flowing Gao Hongsheng's flesh hurts, Made's training is simply too expensive, more than 10,000 taels of ammunition, more than 300 bandits in more than half a month have been exhausted, and now a person has an average of 200 rounds of ammunition reserves, and the munitions are too profitable, it is like robbing money.

Gao Hongsheng and Hong Jincai calculated for a long time, and found that the profit of arms, the profit of rifles is about three times, and the ammunition is about twice as much.

As for buying weapons or something, Gao Hongsheng has a lot of weapons now, but there is not much ammunition, on the one hand, the training consumes a large part, and on the other hand, there are not many seizures.

At first, Gao Hongsheng didn't believe it, after all, it was a team of thousands of people who were beaten away by them, and they picked and picked out a lot of good weapons, and the Mauser rifle alone was mixed with more than 500 shots, but the matching Mauser bullets were less than 40,000 rounds, that is to say, the entire ammunition reserve of the Qing army was less than 100 rounds of ammunition per person, which is not too little, you must know that Gao Hongsheng and they robbed their entire battalion.

According to Gao Hongsheng's impression, in a small local battle, the normal army should bring at least one base ammunition, according to the configuration of the British army in World War I, a soldier's base ammunition is 100 rounds of ammunition, but usually as a soldier, as long as you want, you can bring as much as you want, no one cares about you, so usually a soldier is at least 150 rounds of ammunition with him.

It is impossible for you to fight without consumption, and at least two or three base ammunition should be stored in the camp as combat readiness reserves, but now that the whole line is drawn, a soldier is equipped with one ammunition base ammunition, is it too little.

Fighting a war is not a family, and it is not as poor as the communist army, and there is no way to die, so as soon as the five bullets are gone, they go up to fight with bayonets to fill their lives.

The regular army fights with ammunition to fill the pits, and the bullets flow out like flowing water, and when you see no one coming first, you will say a few shots, and when you see someone, you will have the courage to fire ten shots and eight shots. If you suppress a firepower, you will shoot dozens or hundreds of shots, but it's not that you don't shoot if you don't see someone, then you're dead. Whose life is not fate! There are so many soldiers in charge, just send the logistics when you run out, otherwise I won't go out, what can you do, it's not that no one has ever done it if you hit you in the back.

However, the ammunition reserves of the Qing army are only a base, so it means that there is no need to fight hard to fight with them, and they only need to feint a few times before their ammunition is exhausted, and they become soldiers with burning sticks, so what is there to be afraid of.

Gao Hongsheng really paid attention to it, calculated all the information that could be collected, and really found out that the problem of the Qing army's ammunition reserves, rifles could not be 150 rounds at most, and 100 rounds were like that.

When this army goes out to fight, it must bring at least three or four bases of ammunition, that is, the soldiers carry one base of ammunition with them, and the rest are the quartermasters who accompany the army to bring at least two bases of ammunition. Otherwise, there is a bit of an emergency or something, and your troops can't run out of ammunition, isn't it?

This is interesting, so it means that if you fight with the Qing army in the future, the enemy may run out of ammunition after a few feints, so do you still need to fight this battle?
