After understanding the changes that came with the space's upgrade, Ye Hao exited the space; there was still a pile of things outside that needed to be dealt with.
First, Ye Hao put all the calligraphy, paintings, and gold into the space, then he went to the place where the firearms were stored outside.
Although Ye Hao was very eager for these weapons, many heavy weapons seemed to have no place to be used. Although the country's control over weapons in this era was not as strict as in later generations, there were too many. Enough to arm a brigade. And so many heavy weapons.
Forget it, I won't think about it. I'll put them into the space first. At worst, I'll go abroad and mess with them later.
Ye Hao no longer hesitated and directly put all the weapons and ammunition inside into the space. It was fortunate that the space had upgraded; otherwise, with the previous small space and so many things planted and raised, it definitely wouldn't have fit.
After clearing out the armory hidden inside the mountain, Ye Hao and Ao Xue exited the cave.
"Ao Xue, you lead the way; we're going back." It was dark when they came, and they ran fast, so Ye Hao was a bit lost in the dense forest.
Ao Xue heard her master's words and ran back.
One person and one wolf galloped through the dense forest again.
Upon reaching Banshan Lake, Ao Xue stopped.
"Ao Xue, do you want to stay in the space or roam outside?" Ye Hao asked, stroking Ao Xue's wolf head.
"Awoo~"
"Since you want to roam outside, go ahead. Remember what I told you before, don't let anyone discover you. Go." Ye Hao patted the wolf's head, signaling that Ao Xue could leave.
Ao Xue rubbed against Ye Hao, then turned and plunged into the dense forest, disappearing into the darkness.
Seeing Ao Xue leave, Ye Hao also walked back.
"I didn't expect Ao Xue to be so amazing. She saw me hunting with a gun before and smelled the gunpowder, and she was actually able to find the Japanese armory hidden in the mountain. Can I use Ao Xue as a search dog in the future? Such a good talent cannot be wasted." Ye Hao walked and thought about what happened today.
If Ao Xue knew her master wanted to use her as a dog, she would probably run away immediately.
Ye Hao returned to the camp, quietly entered the room, and seeing that it was still early, he immersed his mind in the space to organize it first.
He placed all the weapons and ammunition in the time-forbidden area. Although ammunition can still be used after being stored for a long time, there is a risk of misfire if stored for too long, and the flow rate in the space is so fast, so it is safer to put them in the forbidden space. Anyway, it's empty otherwise.
As for the jewelry, calligraphy, and paintings, Ye Hao designated a new area next to the warehouse section. The time flow rate in this area was the same as outside, so they wouldn't, after being stored for a long time, be tested outside and have a Ming Dynasty painting appear to be from the Song Dynasty. After all, these pieces of jewelry, calligraphy, and paintings could not be taken out in a short time; they needed to stay in the space for a very long time.
Looking at this last area with a 100-times flow rate, Ye Hao immediately thought of precious Chinese medicinal herbs and precious timber.
If he planted some Changbai Mountain wild ginseng, ganoderma, Phoebe zhennan, Hainan Huanghuali, and red sandalwood, wouldn't he be able to become the king of medicinal materials in the World? But this was just a thought; Ye Hao was not that high-profile. Even if the entire space was filled with wild ginseng in the future, Ye Hao would not stick his neck out.
He had been in Changbai Mountain for so long and had not yet seen wild ginseng. He would have to ask the local mountain runners if he could get some ginseng or ginseng seeds. Then, if he planted them in this hundred-times flow rate space, they would become hundred-year-old ginseng in a year, wouldn't that be wonderful?
In fact, Ye Hao had a plan the day he met Lu Bingsheng, but the plan was not mature before. Now with the hundred-times flow rate space, the most crucial part of this plan has been completed.
Lu Bingsheng's grandfather came from the Imperial Workshop, and Lu Bingsheng inherited all of his grandfather's craftsmanship. He also studied many books from the Imperial Workshop and basically mastered the production of various imperial items for the Qing Dynasty.
With this craftsmanship, even a few high-quality fakes could pass as genuine. Coupled with Ye Hao's space, if they were kept inside for two years, who would dare say they were fake? Even various testing instruments of later generations wouldn't be able to detect it.
Aren't those foreign devils fond of inflating the prices of domestic cultural relics? Let them inflate them then; they won't be able to cheat them to death. When the time comes, everything they snatch will turn into twins.
However, this plan cannot be realized in the next few years. First, they are here, and there are no conditions for Lu Bingsheng to display his skills.
Let's talk about it later.
After tidying up the space, Ye Hao's mind returned. It was still early, so he could sleep for a while.
The following days passed uneventfully until half a month later, when the food in the mountains was almost gone, and they had to go down the mountain. This time, Captain Xu was still leading the team, taking Ergou and Ye Hao with him.
As usual, Captain Xu and Ye Hao each carried two fish down the mountain.
Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, they saw the young educated youths busy in the fields. Even Zhao Yuanhang, who had rarely done labor before, was now working diligently in the fields. If he didn't work here, there would be no food. This college student, who had always dreamed of going to the United States, had temporarily resigned himself to his fate. In these mountains, even if he wanted to run, he wouldn't know where to go.
Captain Xu asked Ye Hao and the others to wait here while he went to Captain Li's house to borrow a mule cart.
"Ye Hao, how are you doing in the mountains? We work in the fields every day and are exhausted. Moreover, the grain allocated from above is simply not enough to eat; it's all sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes, with no oil at all. Now we work in the fields every day, it's too tiring." Zuo Lei's mouth chattered like a machine gun when she saw Ye Hao and the other two.
"We're also tired in the mountains. We patrol the mountains every day from dawn until evening. It's just that we occasionally get to eat meat. Here, these are two fish we brought for you, still fresh. Huang Su Su, take them back and prepare them. You can have a good meal at noon too." Ye Hao handed the fish in his hand to Huang Su Su.
The few of them chatted there.
On the other side, Captain Xu arrived at Captain Li's house. "Li Laogui, lend me the mule cart for a day. These are the fish I brought down for you." Captain Xu handed the fish to Captain Li and prepared to lead the mule cart.
"Lao Xu, wait, come inside, I have something to tell you." Captain Li saw Captain Xu about to leave and quickly called out.
"What's wrong? Why do we have to go inside? Can't we talk outside?" Captain Xu said, but still entered the house.
The two sat on the kang. Captain Li began, "Old Xu, you know, the grain harvest wasn't good last year, and this year's grain hasn't come down yet, but many families have run out of food. If Li Laogui didn't occasionally bring some game down the mountain, many people in the village would probably be starving. But Li Laogui is only one person, and the game he catches isn't much, nowhere near enough. The rest of the villagers are still busy in the fields. Can you spare a few people from your side to go into the mountains with Li Laogui, let him lead them to catch more game, and then we can get through this period?"
