Coming back doesn't mean everything is going well. The most important thing is to calm everyone's emotions first. Fortunately, Xiaolan helped, and people slowly accepted the reality of losing their loved ones. After all, Li Kaiyang still felt a little sorry, so he decided to do something that moved everyone to tears. What do you want to do? Li Kaiyang lived in the small fishing village and thought about it for several days. He was taken care of in Xiaolan's house, but in fact he didn't want to live here. But Xiaolan insisted on staying, so Li Kaiyang had no choice but to stay.

So how will other people be accommodated? Of course, there is no shortage of houses here, so it should not be a problem to accommodate his friends. Cheng Qiuyan, Gu Xuejiao, Liu Changqing and others have all been arranged to live in the surrounding neighbors' homes.

Li Kaiyang decided to live here for a while, not for anything else. He just wanted to do the thing in his heart. What is he going to do? He wanted to make some sculptures, engraved with the images of those people, so that his relatives could see their portraits and alleviate the pain of lovesickness.

Li Kaiyang could no longer remember what these people looked like. He combined everyone's memories and tried every possible means to find some images of them. He hired more than a dozen painters and masons to start their huge statue project.

They first found a spacious place, then built a fence and built a house. Of course, their house was very spacious so that it would not be exposed to wind or rain.

These dozen stonemasons were hired by Li Kaiyang at high prices from various places. These people had many years of sculpture experience, and their figures were all lifelike. Li Kaiyang walked over and compared his height. He felt that these stone statues were different from his own. They look like real people and are made almost like wax figures, and their skin also has the texture of real people.

At one point he stopped him and said:

"Sister-in-law, there is one thing I have to tell you. The contribution of us people cannot be less. Look at how well the work is done. If it is good, we will have a total of two hundred taels of silver. Although it is a bit much, but we work hard. done!"

They thought Li Kaiyang would be surprised! Unless they want so much money from their own heart, it’s just that this project is too cumbersome, with meticulous carving and slow grinding, and a lot of time is spent on doing fine work. A dozen people can do it without two hundred taels of silver. Is it a good deal?

The man stared at Li Kaiyang sincerely, and Li Kaiyang smiled slightly and said:

"If you finish your work, can I give you three hundred and two people?"

The man plucked his ears with his fingers as if he didn't understand. Finally he burst out laughing. He didn't expect to meet a big benefactor. He was so generous. He never dreamed of earning so much money. At the same time, everyone There was cheering, and some people were so happy that their pants fell to the ground. It is not easy for these masons. They work day and night. They first collect large pieces of raw stone, then chisel out the outline bit by bit, and then polish it carefully to copy and restore the human face. This kind of effort can It didn't happen in a year or two. Li Kaiyang admired it from the bottom of his heart. He thought that even today's society does not have such high technology. These people today are really amazing.

Li Kaiyang saw that everyone had such technology, even if a big stone fell to the ground, he observed that every statue was similar to the real face of the original person. If there were some small flaws, it was inevitable. Nothing in the world is perfect. Just like the world is not perfect, if you pursue perfection in this imperfect world, you will be a fool, because you will never find perfection.

Li Kaiyang also deeply understands this truth, so he has used his strength deeply in his heart. I must do this thing beautifully. People can't see their sons, they can't see their brothers, they can't see them. I let my brothers see statues that were more real than real people.

Everything progressed very quickly. Three months later, these stone statues were covered with red cloth one by one. Then Li Kaiyang prepared for an opening ceremony. He gathered all the villagers in the yard. Everyone knew what he was going to do. , everyone was whispering about his business.

Li Kaiyang had no way of knowing what they wanted to say, but judging from their expressions, these people felt very satisfied.

The sculpture will be completed in another month, and everyone is going to have a banquet to celebrate. Li Kaiyang has a lot of money, of course the gold he got from there. Can he spend all the gold? There was plenty of gold, and what Xiaolan brought back was enough to last half a lifetime.

Xiaolan secretly carried all this gold, and Black Tiger and Leopard was of course taking advantage of the money. The amount of gold they obtained was uncountable. But these people still refused to give up. They also wanted to plunder the people's wealth and money, and they took away all the money from the people's homes. I don’t know what they want the gold for, and what use they can have to money that they can’t spend all in their lifetime.

"You can't say that, for greedy people, no amount of money is enough for them to spend. The main reason is that no amount of money can fill the gap of their desires! Desire is very terrible. When people's desires are big, they will do things that are beyond themselves. Ability matters will collapse when you can't bear it. What's the use of collapse? Desire has become the leader of your life!"

Liu Changqing didn't know when he came to Li Kaiyang's side, and he spoke his heartfelt words. Li Kaiyang nodded in agreement. The two of them had a common tendency in this regard. Neither of them cared too much about gold and silver. Both of them felt that it was enough to spend enough and not to spend too much or be too arrogant.

No matter in today's or ancient society, money is very difficult to earn. If you want to get enough money, you have to work ten times or a hundred times. In fact, sometimes people overpay, and even the things and money they earn back cannot make up for their shortcomings. So people must stop in moderation.

Li Kaiyang deeply understands this truth, and Liu Changqing also understands this truth, but most people still don't understand. They spend all their time and forget food and sleep just for a little bit of gold and silver. Sometimes people who don't have enough to eat and don't have warm clothes work hard for this little money. It's understandable, like the Black Tiger Gang, they are already rich enough, but it's a bit unreasonable to joke about people's lives and plunder people's treasures.

Li Kaiyang is Li Kaiyang. He promised to give these people three hundred taels, so he will definitely do it. Although he doesn't have it with him now, he can copy it from Xiaolan. Xiaolan has almost become his cash machine, and everyone's money is also gone. Ask him for it. It is true that Xiaolan had a few pieces of gold on her at that time. These pieces of gold were really not a small amount of money, but now they have almost spent it. However, he still has the money to give Li Kaiyang, so he is convinced. He exchanged [-] taels of silver for Li Kaiyang. With these [-] taels of silver, Li Kaiyang would certainly be much richer.

Xiaolan is not his wife, but it is very interesting to run it for him casually. It is not a family that gives him money so generously. Li Kaiyang has not thought about the reason.

It doesn't matter what the reason is, Xiaolan is just willing to give it, and of course Li Kaiyang is also willing to take it. The two of them give medicine and form nature. What he gives is natural, and what Li Kaiyang wants is natural. Nature plus nature becomes nature.

Liu Changqing covered his mouth and smiled secretly. He felt that this Xiaolan was really not simple. He supported the entire big family with the few ingots of gold stolen from his arms. Seeing that his warehouse was about to bottom out, it seemed that he was not at all. It’s not annoying at all to be anxious. What bottom line does he have? Liu Changqing can't figure it out.

As expected, everyone gathered for dinner again that night. Li Kaiyang sent someone to buy back sumptuous food and wine, so that the masons had a happy meal. At the same time, although Li Kaiyang did not complete the project, he readily gave them the three hundred taels of silver as agreed. These are actually a bit confusing. Others always give us money after we finish the work. Why is this gentleman so generous? He gave us the money before we even finished the work. Where can we find such a gentleman? There are probably only a few in this world. He was alone.

Li Kaiyang's generosity was because he didn't know that the money was not easy to come by. In fact, the wealth Xiaolan obtained was too easy. He would not particularly cherish things that were too easy to obtain. It stands to reason that he would have given these people enough wages. There was no need to give them more than one hundred taels of silver, but Li Kaiyang just gave them because he gave them happily and happily.

Everyone ate the meal happily, and the blind spots were satisfied. Li Kaiyang, the leader who came out, said:

"Master, you are so refreshing. Now, we will definitely finish the work for you sweetly. Don't worry. If any part of this statue is not done well, we will give it to you even if it is done ten times. Turn it over, just relax and wait for the good news!"

Li Kaiyang knew that this little money was enough to make them obedient. Li Kaiyang had long experienced the feeling of being rich. Now that he had money, he felt refreshed and did things extraordinarily. On this day, he had A little unexpected gain, some people wanted these rich stones for carving stone statues, and they said the price was high. Some people said they could offer one hundred taels of silver. Li Kaiyang didn't know why they were so expensive, so he called the carving master over to ask. When I asked, the master didn’t even say anything:

"I don't know. I don't know much about these food ingredients. Is there something precious in this stone? Anyway, when we were carving, we found that some stones were particularly crystal clear. Is this the legendary jade? ! If it’s jade, you’ll be rich. Not to mention giving you a hundred taels of silver, you won’t sell it even if he gives you a hundred taels of gold.”

After hearing what he said, Li Kaiyang thought to himself, I paid people to carve these stones from the mountain, and transported large pieces of rough stone to my home. I don’t know what the material of these stones is, and neither do the workers. Tell me how good it is. I started carving when I met my friend. Everything was completely out of Li Kaiyang's control. Suddenly, a discerning person passing by wanted these stones. Li Kaiyang really had to observe carefully.

So he took the time to walk into these piles of broken stones, wanting to see what precious things he would pay such a high price for. The discarded stones were piled up like a hill, so he still had to take a look.

The moment he started to do it, Li Kaiyang was really stunned. A crystal clear jade-like stone was displayed in front of him. The stone was the same size as a square table. He was pressed under the stone but through the gap on the outside. You can see that this time he finally understood that this must be suet jade! Why didn’t my own workers tell me?

Li Kaiyang suddenly realized the truth again! Wrong, wrong, the workers here must know that this is a good thing. Even though the leader said he didn't understand, it doesn't mean that others don't understand. There must be some knowledgeable people among them who found this precious stone and hid it. He got up, and then he asked someone else to buy the stone. Li Kaiyang suddenly understood the truth. It turned out that the world was so interesting. He didn't expect that he had made a fortune accidentally. He searched again and found the same thing. Two stones, these stones are made of white jade-like material, and they seem to be in trouble. Especially such a large bathroom is hard to find in the world. Just like the He's jade, it is the finest Hetian jade. Although this cannot be said to be Hetian jade, the texture of the jade is also very outstanding.

Li Kaiyang asked a jade player for many years through someone else to see if it was a real jade. The man was dumbfounded when he saw it. His eyes widened, his mouth opened wide, and then he said hurriedly:

"Yes, yes, this is real jade. Wow, I have never seen such a big jade in three chunks in my life. This is the best jade!"

Li Kaiyang said:

"How much money do I need to sell this car for?"

The old jade craftsman nodded and frowned before saying:

"It's hard to say. From my point of view, it's more than tens of thousands taels of silver."

Li Kaiyang thought for a while and said:

"Does anyone want these three pieces of jade worth fifty thousand taels of silver?"

The old jade craftsman stamped his foot and said:

"It's so cheap. Who wouldn't rush to get fifty thousand taels of silver!"

Li Kaiyang glared and said:

"Well, if you can find me a buyer for fifty thousand taels of silver, I will sell it."

As soon as his words came out of the old jade craftsman's spirit, he immediately agreed, and then went around looking for buyers. This time he was really thorough.

The good news came back the next day. A merchant was prepared to buy his stone with [-] taels of silver, and the carriage quickly arrived at the place where Li Kaiyang lived. Their carriage was pulling [-] taels of silver, which was more than a dozen It was really shocking to exchange the money of more than a dozen carts for Li Kaiyang's three pieces of jade for something that could only be pulled by a carriage.

The old jade craftsman also said that Li Kaiyang suffered a loss and the three pieces of jade were not worth the price, but Li Kaiyang was already too satisfied. Where would he put so much winning money? Li Kaiyang said that the money was temporarily placed at Xiaolan's house, and that there was no use to him for the few pieces of jade. It was obtained accidentally anyway, so he could just let others take it away.

So it was natural for everyone to pay the money and deliver the goods.
