Traveling through 1942 with space

Chapter 285 In Yanzhou

"Yes, there was a conflict between the Yanhuang Alliance and the country, and it was impossible to operate it, so it had to be disbanded." Hou Xiaoge nodded.

"Heiwa, can you tell us in detail which group of bandits live there? Is there anyone there now?" asked the uncle.

"no problem!"

Next, Hou Xiaoge told everyone about the natural conditions of Lutuoling and also mentioned its disadvantages.

As for whether there is anyone living there, the Yanhuang Alliance was responsible and people were sent to investigate, but no one was there for the time being.

"It's okay, as long as there is land to grow crops, we can survive.

There are three or four hundred acres of land, most of which are irrigated land, which is very good.

It's only about 30 miles away from the town. Our village used to be more than 10 miles away from the town, so this distance is nothing." What Hou Xiaoge didn't expect was that several people were very satisfied with the place.

"That's fine. Everyone should take good care of themselves during this period. We'll set off in half a month." Hou Xiaoge nodded.

"It's not far, more than 200 miles. So let your uncle Yangtuan and uncle Bingtuan go with you in a few days so you can see the specific situation with your own eyes." The Seventh Master began to make arrangements.

"Okay, it's best if everyone takes a look."

Hou Xiaoge was not dissatisfied. After all, the livelihoods of more than 200 people were involved, so everything had to be done with caution.

After the discussion, the villagers' future was settled and everyone was happy.

"Oh, I haven't eaten Heiwa's braised pork for a long time. It tastes so delicious." Everyone at the table looked delighted when they saw the steaming braised meat.

"start!"

Everyone's living standards have plummeted over the past month, and they finally got the chance to have such a meal, so naturally they rushed to grab it.

After dinner, Hou Xiaoge did not stay at home at night but chose to go out. There was really no place to sleep, and there was not even a suitable quilt for the bed.

"Mom, you can eat as much of the fine grains and meat as you like, and feed the bran to the donkeys. I'll buy more for you when you've finished eating."

"How can we eat white flour every day!"

"We're moving at the end of the month, so we should take good care of our health," Hou Xiaoge explained.

After leaving home, Hou Xiaoge changed his appearance.

Instead of flying directly to Yanzhou, the plane flew to a simple airport near Chang'an County and stopped.

This is the temporary airport that Hou Xiaoge built in the past to hide his whereabouts. Two days ago, he asked Tong Baizhan to bring hundreds of loyal disciples here to guard it.

"Mr. Li, look, the plane is coming."

Near the airport, Tong Baizhan and a guide from the Red Army were excitedly pointing at a plane circling in the air.

The signal was connected, and Hou Xiaoge slowly landed the plane at the airport. He did not get off the plane, but opened the cabin door through the loudspeaker and let people in.

It was naturally impossible for Hou Xiaoge to do business with Yanzhou alone this time, so he asked Tong Baizhan to bring some disciples of the Yanhuang League to cooperate.

After more than a dozen people boarded the plane, Hou Xiaoge began to train and instruct several disciples to help them understand how to operate and transport cargo on the plane.

After half an hour of instruction, when a few disciples roughly understood, the plane soared into the sky.

Hou Xiaoge had never liked the government's style in the first place, and after they had become completely hostile to each other this time, he would naturally side with Yanzhou.

As for the salt trade issue mentioned by the Red Army, Hou Xiaoge did not intend to do much about it. It was really not worth the money. It would take a long time to transport tens of thousands of tons of salt using an airplane with a maximum load capacity of fourteen tons.

Hou Xiaoge purchased five transport planes and two fighter jets in the United States. Four of the transport planes were DC-3, which has a relatively small load capacity and can only transport three or four tons of goods.

However, there is a latest model of C54 transport aircraft that can carry tons, making it an undisputed king of air transport.

After the plane arrived in Yanzhou, it stopped at a simple airport that appeared to have been built for some time.

The person who came was very important in the Red Army and was well-known in later generations. Hou Xiaoge shook hands with the other party excitedly.

"Hello, there is a set of equipment in the aircraft transport warehouse that can produce 50,000 tons of oil annually. This is the list. It is the support of the Yanhuang League to the Red Army." Hou Xiaoge smiled and gave the gift.

This equipment that produces 50,000 tons of oil per year may sound like a lot, but it is actually only 350,000 barrels.

This amount would be considered just a drizzle in later generations, but in this era, it was incredible.

After all, last year the total output of Yanzhou Oilfield, China's only oil field, was only 40,000 to 50,000 barrels. But it was these 50,000 barrels of crude oil that brought considerable wealth to the Red Army.

But now it has directly increased from 40,000 to 500,000 to 300,000, which is a many-fold increase. Yanzhou's economy is bound to take off.

In fact, this equipment was just an outdated product that Hou Xiaoge bought from an oil company for $30,000. After all, the output was too small.

In addition to these oil equipment, Hou Xiaoge also provided the Red Army with oil refining equipment. The two complement each other and will only make money in the future.

When the representatives of the Red Army and the accompanying professionals heard the production figures, they were so excited that they burst into tears and shouted that the revolution was saved.

After getting familiar with the situation, Hou Xiaoge did not delay and asked someone to open the cabin and let the Red Army arrange people to unload the cargo as soon as possible.

Hou Xiaoge didn't want to have much contact with the Red Army. After all, too much contact would lead to harmonization.

Therefore, it was decided to let Tong Baizhan bring a group of business personnel to negotiate with the relevant departments of Yanzhou.

Originally, according to the agreement made last year, after the oil was supplied, the equipment would be loaned to the Red Army first, and then repaid with the refined gasoline, kerosene, paraffin and other products.

It is inevitable that the National Government will take the lion's share of this, followed by Yanzhou, and the Yanhuang League has the least profit.

But now that they have fallen out with the government, these interests have nothing to do with them anymore, and Hou Xiaoge decided to earn all the money on his own.

From now on, 50% of Yanzhou's petroleum products will be underwritten by the Yanhuang League, which will provide Yanzhou with some scarce materials and equipment.

Naturally, there were people who discussed these details, and Hou Xiaoge acted like a beast of burden and started frequent transportation.

Few people have seen the mountains of snow-white salt. At first glance, it is all white. During transportation, only a tiny bit of salt is left when a plane comes down.

However, salt is really not valuable. The price of salt in the production area has been suppressed to only two yuan per ton, and only one cent per kilogram of salt, which is really outrageous.

You should know that once it is shipped out of Yanzhou, it immediately becomes 8 cents, and the retail price is 0.1 cent. Further south, it even costs more than 50 cents per pound.

Hou Xiaoge felt sorry for the salt carriers whose skin was corroded by salt, so he said that he would sell them at the normal price of eight yuan per ton for the second trip.

But this plane carrying 14 tons only costs a few dozen dollars at wholesale, so it doesn't cost much!

Next, Hou Xiaoge's five planes provided cover for the transport in turns.

The round trip transportation takes one hour, plus it takes one hour for a large number of workers to load it, which means that one trip takes two hours.

During transportation, Xiaoge did not get off the plane, but she had to change her appearance occasionally, which was really boring.

They worked day and night for twelve days and transported 800 tons. Hou Xiaoge got tired of it and didn't need it for the time being.

However, there is also a lot of money to be made by transporting more than 800 tons of salt to Yunnan in the south. The wholesale price is 30 cents per pound, and 800 tons means 240,000 yuan.

Excluding the cost of aircraft gasoline, the purchasing cost can still make more than 200,000 yuan. The space is so amazing.
