Chapter 286 I Embarrassed the Traveler
The world's productivity in the late Qing Dynasty was too low. Many things were not unavailable, but their production was too low.

Yan Xu simply purchased a batch of Type 65 military uniforms directly from Modern World, as well as matching helmets, rubber shoes, gun belts, water bottles, first aid kits and so on.

This type of military uniform was produced from the 1960s to the 1980s. Given the support for the army at the time and the production capacity, the quantity was so large that Yan Xu took away several trucks, and it felt like the warehouse had not changed much.

At first he was just trying to buy some, but later the person in charge found out that he had reservations and told him bluntly that as long as they were not weapons, he could have as many of these obsolete items as he wanted, and the more he wanted, the cheaper the price. Ten thousand pieces were one price, and one hundred thousand pieces were another price. If he could take them all, he could even charter a truck to get him a million pieces without charging any extra money.

As people of this era were already accustomed to their boldness in business, Yan Xu simply bought 50,000 sets of clothes at one go, including 20,000 summer clothes, 20,000 autumn clothes, 10,000 military coats, and an additional 10,000 sets of other matching items.

For such a large amount of money, the person in charge of the warehouse must also report it. After all, it involves such a large amount of money, how could he make the decision on his own?

However, before reporting it, you still have to ask about the purpose. There is no other meaning, just go through the process.

This is normal. The things Yan Xu bought, except for the lack of weapons, are enough for tens of thousands of soldiers.

However, since weapons are not involved, this matter is neither big nor small. Plus, they are in a hurry to clear the inventory, so only one reason is needed. True or false is not important. But if you don't even give a reason, don't blame the other party for checking.

Yan Xu had only two answers: making movies and exporting.

When the superiors found out, they just smiled and didn't ask any more questions. They just said that they would treat him well as he was a distinguished guest.

That's right. No matter how big the discount is, the minimum price is still ten thousand pieces. And the clothes are cheap, but the military coats and matching items are not cheap.

With such a large sum of money coming into my account, I have to spend it with all my heart.

As for what the other party buys these things for, it really doesn’t matter.

The 1990s that just passed were a crazy era, and also an era that created countless miracles.

Some people have proposed such outrageous things as blowing up the Himalayas and building a Jiangnan on the Great Wall, let alone just buying old military uniforms to make movies and export them, which is not a big deal.

Moreover, compared to that legendary figure who started with 300 yuan, earned billions in ten years, exchanged light industrial products for airplanes, launched satellites, and used cool novels as his life script, Yan Xu has brought shame to the time travelers.

Overall, this is an era of creating miracles. What Yan Xu did can only be described as not bold enough.

Similar examples of urban cool novels from the previous life can be found in this period, except for those that automatically give money.

As a person who was reborn and a time traveler, even if Yan Xu did not have a system, with his memory that was more than 20 years ahead and his business as a trader in both worlds, if he was a little bolder, in a few years, even if he could not become the richest man in the world, he would at least be a well-known figure in the province. Unlike now, he is still hanging around in the town.

However, this is also related to the path chosen by Yan Xu, because he is taking the path of transcendence. Wealth and external things are just tools, and simple accumulation is meaningless to him.

He fought for hegemony in the Japanese world and rebelled in the late Qing world. The main reason was to collect luck, incense, and merit. Otherwise, he could have chosen a world to stay in and be the emperor.

As his strength and knowledge grew, Yan Xu's cautious middle-aged personality and way of thinking in his previous life were constantly changing. Therefore, after becoming familiar with the boldness of this era, he simply let go. In addition to military uniforms and supporting items, he also bought military dry rations and canned food that were about to expire by the truckload.
The warehouse manager, whose face turned pale from drinking yesterday, without saying anything, pulled a few comrades to deepen their relationship with him. Unfortunately, Yan Xu's physique was off. If the alcohol he drank was not strong enough, it would not be as fast as the alcohol in his body. Therefore, these people were sent to intravenous drip and did not complete the task.

Although the things were easily purchased, Yan Xu actually set up a foreign trade line in the modern world just in case. Otherwise, as his actions became bigger and bigger, some anomalies would become increasingly difficult to conceal, not to mention that he also planned to touch some things in the modern world, which required advance preparation.

Yan Xu simply opened a trade route to Africa and shipped some of the miscellaneous goods over there. It didn’t matter whether anyone bought them or not, as he would pay taxes anyway.

After struggling to get things to the late Qing Dynasty world, Yan Xu came to the expanded barracks.

At present, each old man in the guard team leads ten people. They get up on time every day, wash, do exercises, and line up. If they make mistakes, their monthly food will be deducted, and those who refuse to change will even be expelled. So even though they don't understand, no one disobeys orders, because here no matter how many rules there are or how tiring the training is, they can get enough food.

With proper exercise, rice porridge and steamed buns made from glutinous rice flour, the complexion of these new recruits improved a lot in just ten days.

Recently, a lot of vegetables, meat and eggs have been added. Their bodies, which have been hungry all year round, can't wait to absorb the rare nutrients. It also brings spiritual satisfaction, which makes them more afraid to disobey orders, because they really don't want to lose their current life, the envious eyes of outsiders and the expectant eyes of their families.

With the distribution of military uniforms, these people who had been unable to straighten their backs for years became taller without realizing it. They carried food supplies home and marched in step under the envious eyes of their neighbors and the expectant gazes of their families.

Honor, discipline, and obedience to orders are etched into their bodies and minds.

Next is the familiarity and use of firearms. Due to the limited number and ammunition of Type 30 rifles, the recruits use reduced-caliber striker rifles, which are produced in the wasteland world.

Although the striker rifle has long been eliminated, it still has many advantages, such as simple structure and easy operation. Even recruits who have never been exposed to firearms can master loading and firing in a short time, and they can learn how to disassemble and maintain it after being taught twice.

In addition to being used for training by new recruits, this gun will also be used by reserve troops because the bullets are easier to replenish.

Yan Xu took this opportunity to transport some equipment for producing guns and bullets to the wasteland world for imitation and improvement. Together with the Japanese world and the modern world, he now owns four arsenals.

The arsenal in the wasteland world is more advanced, especially after recruiting some living technicians.

However, industry requires complete supporting facilities. As for the Gear Tribe, it is difficult to meet production needs, so Yan Xu asked them to do more design and improvement.

The Japanese world is not in this situation because, due to restrictions from the rest of the world, they can only produce firearms such as striker rifles that do not use integrated bullets, so the requirements are low and they just need to be self-sufficient.

The modern world has the highest production capacity and the best conditions, but the problem is that you can only get around it. If you dare to do it for real, you have to go in.

The Manufacturing Bureau in the Qingming world is the largest, but also has the most troubles. It can only increase the production of ammunition in a short period of time.

However, once the restructuring is completed, with advanced technology and improved equipment provided by the wasteland world and the modern world, it is only a matter of time before the Manufacturing Bureau is transformed.
