Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 76 Is the slave family's dowry still rich?
...

Fragrant mist, auspicious clouds, black dragon, climbing mountains and wading, crossing mountains and ridges, mixing iron dragon sticks, nine noodles cows, two noodles tigers, a bowl of fine wine...

suddenly!
Li Yan felt someone pushing him!
Li Yan opened his eyes, and immediately saw a face that was so overwhelming!

Ruan Xiaoqi, who was on guard at the side, said: "My lady said I have something important to ask my brother, so I agree with my lady to wake my brother up."

Lu Zhishen, who was on guard together, also said, "The Sajia also agreed."

Only then did Li Yan realize that the owner of this alluring face was Li Shishi.

Li Yan sat up, and then asked Li Shishi: "I don't know why my lady is looking for me?"

Li Shishi said: "Master of the village, please come with the slave's family."

Li Yan was puzzled, and asked again: "Where are you going?"

Li Shishi didn't answer and asked instead: "Is the village master afraid of this weak woman who has no strength to restrain a chicken?"

Li Yan rubbed his face, and then said: "Young lady, let's say it clearly, I don't like extravagance."

Li Shishi glanced at Li Yan resentfully, and then said: "The slave family wants to take the village master to see the treasure house of the slave family."

Li Yan reacted for a while, and then tentatively said: "My lady is willing to leave with me?"

Master Li said leisurely: "Is there any other choice for the slave family?"

Li Yan was a little embarrassed!

However, Li Yan soon straightened his expression and said: "My lady, please rest assured, no matter how many treasures my lady has, as long as I, Li Yan, don't die, those treasures will always belong to my lady."

Li Shishi didn't answer Li Yan's words, but said: "The village master is willing to go with the slave's house?"

Li Yan stood up, stretched out his hand, and said, "Please, lady."

Careful Lu Zhi was afraid that Li Yan would have an accident and there would be no leader in the crowd, so he said: "The Sa family will accompany my brother and my wife for a walk."

Li Yan said: "This is the best."

Li Shishi didn't object, and saluted Lu Zhishen, then twisted his waist and walked out the door.

Li Yan gave Ruan Xiaoqi a wink, signaling Ruan Xiaoqi to pay attention to Sun Jing and not let Sun Jing cause trouble, and then he and Lu Zhishen followed Li Shishi's footsteps.

Li Shishi brought Li Yan and Lu Zhishen to a room full of bookshelves and books on the first floor of Zuixing Building, then took some books from a bookshelf against the wall, and then twisted the spring behind the books, After a sound of "creak", "creak", the bookshelf moved to the right, leaving an iron door for only one person to pass through.

Li Shishi took out a key from his waist and opened the iron door, then stepped into it, and then walked down a downward staircase into a basement that couldn't be seen clearly.

Lu Zhishen entered it one step ahead of Li Yan, then stood at the door and looked at it for a while before letting Li Yan in.

When Lu Zhishen and Li Yan went down to the basement, Li Shishi had already lit the candles in the basement one by one with a torch.

After getting used to it for a while, Li Yan saw seventeen or eight large boxes neatly arranged in the treasure house.

Li Shishi walked to the box closest to her and opened it.

When Li Yan saw it, he couldn't help but feel hot in his eyes—there is actually gold in this mouth!
Li Shishi has opened a second account, which is still full of gold!

The third bite, full of gold!
The fourth bite, full of gold!
Until the seventh mouth, it was full of gold!

Not to mention other things, only the gold of these seven majors is no less than 200 million!

And the books at the back are all filled with antiques, calligraphy and paintings, rare treasures, and the prices are immeasurable!
Li Yan secretly swallowed his saliva, regretting that he just promised not to move Master Li's treasure!

Shuibo Liangshan now has 6000 people.

People eat horse chews, which consumes a lot!

What's more, Li Yan also raises soldiers, which consumes even more!
Fortunately, Shuibo Liangshan has not yet fought, otherwise Shuibo Liangshan will inevitably have a financial crisis!

It can be said that if you are not in charge of your family, you will not know how expensive firewood is.

In the past, it was better to have those local tyrants who bullied the country around "helping" Shuibo Liangshan.

However, since Shuibo Liangshan achieved remarkable results for the action of doing things for the sky, all the local tyrants around Shuibo Liangshan seem to have changed their minds and turned into great benevolent people, and they are all willing to do good. Fewer and fewer.

The people don't raise officials and don't investigate, and they don't even have a sufferer. If the water is parked in Liangshan and then go to do justice for the sky, the teacher will come out without a name.

If it is strong, the good reputation that Shuibo Liangshan has managed so hard to manage will soon be ruined.

And some local tyrants with "backbone", such as Zhujiazhuang, Gujiazhuang, and Lijiazhuang, are not willing to do good, but they unite together and make tens of thousands of horses, making Shuibo Liangshan unable to attack even if they want to.

In other words, the life of Shuibo Liangshan began to be difficult, and he had to find new ways of making money.

And if there is such a large amount of property owned by Li Shishi, the pressure on Shuibo Liangshan will undoubtedly be reduced a lot, and new sources of money can be found slowly.

pity!

Li Yan underestimated the ability of the number one oiran to make money before, and he was full of words!
After opening the last document, Li Shishi looked at Li Yan and asked: "Village Master, is the slave's dowry still rich?"

Li Yan, who was feeling annoyed, said perfunctorily: "My lady has so much dowry, so she will definitely find a good husband."

While speaking, Li Yan randomly picked up a scroll of painting and unfolded it, and then he was stunned—this scroll of painting turned out to be "Along the River at Qingming Festival", one of the top ten famous paintings handed down from generation to generation in China, which is known as "the first divine treasure in China"!
Seeing that Li Yan didn't answer her words and was perfunctory to her, and then stared at a broken painting dumbfounded, Li Shishi was annoyed!
However, after many years of training, Li Shishi did not show his true emotions at all, and said with a smile: "This volume of "A Picture of Shanghe on the Qingming Festival" was given to me by a scholar named Zhang. stayed."

Li Yan carefully rolled up "A Picture of Shanghe During the Qingming Festival", and then put it back to its original place, saying: "My lady should take good care of this painting, its future value is immeasurable."

Li Shishi said with a smile: "I have a few authentic works by Wang Xizhi, Zhang Xu, and Gu Kaizhi here, and they are nothing."

While speaking, Li Shishi took out a scroll of paintings from a box and handed it to Li Yan.

Li Yan unfolded it and saw that it was signed by Wang Xizhi!

After a closer look, fortunately it is not the "Lanting Preface", which is known as "the best running script in the world", but "Seventeen Posts".

Li Yan thought: "This girl really has a lot of good things!"

After finishing the "Seventeen Posts" and returning it to Li Shishi, Li Yan said: "My lady, please don't worry. Although your treasures are eye-catching, I still say the same thing. As long as I, Li Yan, these treasures of my lady will always be there." It belongs to the lady."

Li Shishi casually put the "Seventeen Posts" into the box, and then said: "My family brought the village master to my treasure house, just to give these things outside of the body to the village master."

When Li Yan heard it, he was overjoyed at first, and then hesitated—there is no free lunch in the world. He cheated Li Shishi, and Li Shishi gave him back the money. Its request will never be small!
