Siheyuan: Starting to work in the street office

Tao Hongjing, a scholar of the Southern Dynasties, wrote in the Records of Ancient and Modern Swords: "Liu Bei, the ruler of Shu, cast eight swords with iron from Jinniu Mountain in the first year of Zhangwu, each three feet and six inches long. He gave one to himself, one to the crown prince, one to Li, the king of Liang, one to Yong, the king of Lu, one to Zhuge Liang, one to Guan Yu, one to Zhang Fei, and one to Zhao Yun.

That is to say, Liu Bei once sent people to Jinniu Mountain to collect fine iron and forged eight peerless swords, each of which was three feet and six inches long. The first sword was used by Liu Bei himself, one was given to his son Liu Chan, one was given to another son Liu Li, one was given to Liu Yong, one was given to Zhuge Liang, one was given to his sworn brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei each, and one was given to Zhao Yun.

Of course, this is just a rumor, and it is even more of a rumor that there is Zhao Yun's sword in Dongling. Zhongshan cannot guarantee whether this sword is real even if he has it in his hands.

In another larger box, there was a jade watermelon. This jade watermelon was the size of a normal watermelon, with a green jade skin and purple jade flesh. When it was cut in the middle, the seeds were black.

In the previous life, jade watermelons only existed in rumors. It was rumored that Sun dug up an emerald watermelon and a jade watermelon. There was still some shadow of the emerald watermelon, but the jade watermelon only existed in rumors.

Even many people in later generations believed that jade watermelon did not exist, and that it was actually the same thing as emerald watermelon. Unexpectedly, it was stolen by Wang Jingrui.

Although the remaining items are not as good as these two, they are also rare treasures.

One piece of jade eight horses;

two emerald melons;

Two jadeite rings;

There were eight beads left, four in the box, and Wang Jingrui was going to take four away, so they were all put away together. Zhong Shan saw that it seemed that these were someone's imperial beads, and Wang Jingrui had separated out the eight beads.

Of course, there may be others. Wang Jingrui sold a lot of them in his early years, and these are his family assets.

Zhong Shan looked at these things and found that some of them could be called national treasures.

But what Zhong Dahai said makes sense. In the current situation, if there is no place to store it, it will be a disaster rather than a blessing.

Zhong Shan put these things away, leaving behind a jade ring and a jade melon.

Brother, these two things are not big and are easy to hide. You can keep them. Although their value now is not as high as before, they will appreciate again sooner or later.

If they are kept, they can be passed down from generation to generation as heirlooms.

Zhong Dahai nodded after hearing this. After taking it, he realized that it was no wonder that those rich people liked these things. They looked inconspicuous lying there, but when he took them in his hands and looked at them carefully, they were really beautiful.

All that was left was to divide the money: more than 240 small yellow croakers, plus more than yuan.

In the end, 100 small yellow croakers and 2000 yuan were given to Zhong Dahai. Originally, Zhong Dahai only needed that zero. More than 40 small yellow croakers were worth more than yuan, which was already a lot. Most people had never seen so much money in their lives. He could be said to have been brought here by Zhong Shan this time, and his contribution was limited, so he didn't feel comfortable asking for too much.

It was Zhong Shan who raised the number to 100. After all, Zhong Shan was not short of money, and the most valuable things were already in his hands. Zhong Dahai was not an ordinary person, and he did not have many relatives in this world.

Looking at 100 small yellow croakers and 2000 yuan, even someone like Zhong Dahai, who is not greedy for money, can't stand it, let alone others.

"Brother, you must hide your things well. There are still many restrictions on buying and selling houses. When you can buy a house, you can buy a yard. When uncle gets older, you can take him over. It will be enough to support the family for the rest of their lives."

After hearing this, Zhong Dahai looked at Zhong Shan with gratitude and said nothing else. Ever since he became friends with Zhong Shan, he has a house, a wife, and now he is not short of money. He is truly grateful to his younger brother from the bottom of his heart.

Zhong Shan can hide in the space, but others have no space. There are only a few places to hide things, either in the wall, on the roof, or in a hole dug on the ground. Zhong Dahai did the same. After returning to his home in the quadrangle, he dug a hole in the ground of the innermost small bedroom, left some of the small yellow croakers for his comrades, and put the rest in there.

Zhong Shan also prepared some for Hou Saner. Hou Saner knew a lot, but Zhong Shan found it easy to use and had no intention of betraying him, so Zhong Shan was not going to treat him unfairly.

Zhongshan found the landlord of the yard where Hou Saner rented the yard, bought it, and called Hou Saner to his home.

There are many people in that yard now, so it is better for him to avoid going there until the security guard closes the case.

Zhongshan called Hou Saner to the study.

"Director, you are looking for me."

Zhong Shan looked at Hou Saner with a smile.

"San'er, you know a little bit. Wang Jingrui was kidnapped by Ma Xianhai. After Ma Xianhai kidnapped Wang Jingrui, he is now missing. It's useless for us to follow him. But you have been busy enough during this period. This is what I give you. Take a look at it. Do you like it?"

After saying that, Zhong Shan handed Hou Saner the house documents and the IOU written by the owner. With this, Hou Saner could transfer the house to his own name at any time.

When Hou Saner saw this, his eyes immediately turned red. He had been wandering for many years, living a life that was neither human nor ghost. Fortunately, he met his master, who taught him how to be a good person.

Now he met his second noble man. Zhongshan made him a superior man and gave him a job that others envied. He also gave him a house that others envied. Although the yard is not big, 99% of the people in the city are still worried about where to live. Such a small yard is something that others dare not even think about.

Zhong Shan looked at Hou Saner, and took out five small yellow croakers and 200 yuan from the drawer under the table.

"San'er, take this too. Remember, nothing happened. Forget about the unimportant things. Things end here. Nothing happened. We don't know anything."

Hou Saner couldn't hold back his tears any longer when he saw that Zhong Shan had given him so much money.

This is also because Zhongshan's thinking is different from that of people of this era. For people nowadays, people like Wang Jingrui are normal. You are my subordinate and it is your duty to work for me. As for how much I give you, it depends on my mood.

Generally, they would just give a hard work fee. If they were a little more conservative, the hard work fee would not be too much. If Wang Jingrui had been a little more generous to Ma Xianhai, what happened later would not have happened.

Hou Saner originally thought that it would be enough for Zhongshan to give him a little hard work fee, and he would be satisfied if he could help him more in the future. He didn't expect that today he would give him a house and money.

Zhong Shan's generosity completely exceeded Hou Saner's psychological expectations.

"Master Zhong, don't worry, my life will belong to you from now on."

Zhong Shan quickly grabbed Hou Saner who was about to kneel down.

"San'er, this is what you deserve, don't think too much."
