Chapter 8: Exchanging Equipment

The one who went up the mountain was a middle-aged man, and Li Shijing told Xia Jun that it was her housekeeper. The housekeeper also brought more than a dozen people, all of whom had a Mauser 98b on them, which shows that their financial resources are not ordinary.

Like the arsenals in the West, they basically do everything when there are business opportunities, and the weapons that were just produced back then can be sold to China within a few months.

Later, because of the US embargo agreement, China could not buy any advanced weapons, so it was very difficult to fight during the anti-Japanese war.

At present, the retail price of a German five-shot steel gun (Mauser 98) in China can be sold for about 50 silver dollars each, and the people who can afford it are the wealthy, who generally buy guns to defend against bandits.

In addition, there are also nine-shot guns used in the Russian War on the market, as well as a bulky ten-shot gun, which are relatively backward rifles.

The Li family's housekeeper also brought more than a dozen large boxes.

Soon the housekeeper of the Li family was invited up the mountain, and the housekeeper felt something wrong when he went up the mountain, when did this bandit village become a lumber yard?

I saw more than 30 people cutting trees in the mountains, and there was no one standing guard on the mountain. But soon I saw Li Shijing and a young man walking down the mountain.

"Who is that man?" Xia Jun asked Li Shijing on the road.

"The housekeeper of my family, I call him Uncle Wang." Li Shijing replied, and Xia Jun nodded.

"Uncle Wang." As she approached, Li Shijing beckoned to her housekeeper.

"Miss, this is." The housekeeper looked at Xia Jun and asked.

"This is Xia Jun, the head of the Jianzhou Security Corps, thanks to him for saving me this time, otherwise I would have been trapped in a bandit village." Li Shijing said.

"Hello." Xia Jun stretched out his hand with his surname.

The housekeeper glanced at it, pretended not to see it, and said with a smile: "Thanks to Captain Xia's righteous action, otherwise the consequences would be really unimaginable!" ”

"It's a trivial matter, don't worry about it." Xia Jun glanced at Steward Wang and the courtyard behind him, and said, "But Steward Wang will have to be a good guard in the future." ”

"Naturally, this 10,000 silver dollars will be given to Head Xia as a reward." Steward Wang said to Xia Jun, and didn't wait for Xia Jun to say anything, and said directly: "Head Xia, if there is nothing to do, I will go back to the county seat first, and the master can be very worried." ”

Xia Jun could see a condescending arrogance in the eyes of this housekeeper, of course, Xia Jun was not fragile and sensitive to the point of having a seizure, and said with a smile: "It's a trivial matter, since Steward Wang has intentions, then I will thank you." ”

Li Shijing was about to sit in the sedan chair, when she suddenly thought of something, and said to Xia Jun: "Classmate Xia, I'll go back first, and I'll come back to you to play after a while." Well, my family lives in the Li family's mansion at the east gate of the county, and I have time to come to my house as a guest, Uncle Wang, and leave an invitation to classmate Xia. ”

"Well, okay." When Steward Wang saw Li Shijing's instructions, he had no choice but to take out an invitation card and hand it to Xia Jun.

In this feudal era, if you invite some people with status to be guests, if you are not a relative or have a very deep relationship, you must leave an invitation, otherwise even if you shout verbally, people will not go, because this makes people feel that they are not respected.

Li Shijing asked people to leave an invitation, obviously sincerely inviting Xia Jun to her house as a guest.

Xia Jun accepted the invitation and nodded to her.

……

After Li Shijing left, Xia Jun immediately beckoned people to carry those silver dollars up the mountain, Zhang Sigou came out from the side and said: "Leader, then Miss Li is not simple, if you can climb this big tree, then it will be developed." ”

"What is her family background?" Xia Jun could see that Li Shijing's family was relatively wealthy, but he didn't know the specifics very well, so he asked Zhang Sigou.

"Her father Li Xiao is a well-known businessman in Fujian, he eats very well in this province, and he gives him face in both black and white, and it is rumored that his family property has three or four million silver dollars." Zhang Sigou said.

Xia Jun laughed, if you get someone to get it, you may not be able to get her property! It's the age of arranged weddings.

"I'm not going to work yet." Xia Jun waved his hand to Zhang Sigou, Zhang Sigou laughed and hurriedly ran away, and suddenly Xia Jun stopped him: "Sigou, wait." ”

"What else does the regimental commander command?"

"Since you've been in a private school for a few years, you should be able to keep accounts or something, right?" Xia Jun asked.

"Yes."

"Then you are now the accountant of the security corps, and I will give you 5 silver dollars every month." Xia Jun said, thinking that he still lacked a cashier or something, and he had to find a few cultural people. However, the cashier is such an important position, and you have to find someone who can rest assured.

Lack of people!

Then Xia Jun plunged into the major rectification of Shiniu Mountain, commanded more than 40 people to build three large warehouses in two days, and also opened ten acres of paddy fields under Shiniu Mountain.

Then Xia Jun exchanged ten catties of seeds of grade 1 high-yield rice from the exchange platform.

It's late July, and now the sowing of rice can barely catch up with the time, Xia Jun sowed the rice seeds, and then began to organize the security team.

In the early hours of the morning, the sky was about to break, and a glimmer of blue light filled the sky.

At the foot of Shiniu Mountain, there was a sudden sound of 'horn horns' and bursts of roars, and the members of the security militia on the cottage and the bandits who were being reformed were quickly woken up.

"Get up for me and go down the mountain to carry things." A huge voice came from the bottom of the mountain, and the people on the cottage reacted immediately when they heard this voice, it was the head of the regiment.

A group of people hurriedly got dressed and ran down the mountain.

Immediately on the mountain, I saw a big truck at the bottom of the mountain, but many people didn't know what it was, and this strange thing had never been seen before.

Xia Jun jumped out of the cockpit of the truck and closed the door. After jumping into the car, he directed the group members who went down the mountain to carry things up the mountain.

I saw that the back of the car was loaded with large sealed wooden boxes.

"Move these to Warehouse One." Xia Jun handed the wooden boxes down one by one, and everyone took the wooden boxes and moved them to the cottage.

At this time, one of the members of the group did not catch up, and the wooden box fell directly to the ground.

There was a crackling sound, and the plank on top of the wooden box snapped, and a pile of things rolled down from inside.

"It's frizzy, be careful with your hands." Xia Jun scolded, "Pack the things and carry them to the warehouse." ”

"Yes, yes, Commander."

Xia Jun took a flashlight and shone it on the ground, and everyone was stunned when they looked at the ground.
