The richest man starts from the treasure hunt in the container

"The agent said that this is an old castle that is more than 300 years old. The original owner was once a relative of Peter the Great and Queen Catherine, but later because of a mistake, he was sent to the Far East and built a castle here. "

This was what Vera translated for Zhu Yu.

The agent was a middle-aged woman, dressed in a very white-collar style, with a serious expression on her face. Zhu Yu guessed that she might be using her seriousness to reflect the legitimacy of the castle.

Of course, the clairvoyance can tell that this castle does have a history of two to three hundred years. It is built of pure stone and looks very rough in appearance, which is more in line with the temperament of the big hairy people.

As for whether it was as magnificent as the agent said before, it is unknown.Moreover, Zhu Yu guessed that the so-called relative of Peter the Great might be just a legend.

"Then you ask, why did it become like a bear when no one lived there?" Zhu Yu looked at the castle and asked casually.

Vera didn't quite understand the "bear look", so she glanced at Zhu Yu in surprise, tilted her head and thought about it, and then translated it for the agency.

"How did you translate it?" Zhu Yu saw that Vera really didn't understand what the bear look meant, and asked with a smile.

"I said, this castle is very shabby." Vera explained seriously, her look actually made her look a little cute.

Zhu Yu nodded.

The agent replied, and Vera translated:
"She said that because it was too far from the city, the descendants of the original owner sold the castle to other people many years ago. The subsequent owner disappeared, and the castle was abandoned and was only recently developed."

The castle is indeed very dilapidated. Although the agent selling the castle tried his best to sell it at a good price, so he cut down all the miscellaneous trees growing near the castle, repaired the grass, and even built a simple road leading to the interstate highway. The castle as a whole is no longer complete, and some stones have collapsed.

Restoring the castle into a habitable state requires a lot of investment.

After all, even the door frames and windows are just empty, so the decoration cost will be high.

"If you buy a castle, does it mean the castle itself, plus the nearby land?" Zhu Yu looked around and asked.

"Twenty hectares of land around the castle." The agent gave the answer, "Including woodland, pasture and a small lake."

I have to say that the environment here is really good.Zhu Yu looked around. He saw large tracts of birch and coniferous forests, which were not very dense. There were thick leaves falling underneath, which looked quite artistic.

But desolation is really desolate.When Zhu Yu and the others drove over, there had to be no one living within at least forty or fifty kilometers along the way.

I don’t know how the so-called relative of Peter the Great thought of building such a castle in this corner.

"There is a military fort five kilometers southeast of the castle." The agent added, "But that military fort is a historic site and is not allowed to be sold."

You're being ridiculous if I don't let it be sold!

Zhu Yu couldn't help but complain.

"...But, it can be rented. The rent is very low." The agent said solemnly.

"Let's go in and take a look first." Zhu Yu said, "Go in and see if it's worth buying."

Qin Fei followed Zhu Yu and Vera in, while Ran Jie and Cao Dalong led their team members outside to patrol around.

"Why do you think the boss would like such a crappy place?" Cao Dalong couldn't help but ask Ran Jie.

"Who knows, maybe the boss thinks there is something down there." Ran Jie was also guessing.

"It's better to find a place to circle and hunt." Cao Dalong felt his hands itching, "There are so many wild animals here! I just wanted to hunt that big moose on the road."

"Forget it, bear with me. When the boss makes the decision to really enclose the territory, I'll let you fight as much as you can!" Ran Jie smiled, "At least there are still people following you. If you fight, they won't be willing to fight, right?"

Cao Dalong smiled and said no more.

Zhu Yu walked into the castle and found that grass had grown in the cracks of the stone floor.There are traces of recent removal, but it is obvious that the work was a bit rough, the grass roots are relatively tenacious, and new leaves have grown out.

The agent continued to keep a straight face, as if none of this existed.She began to introduce the functions of each room in the castle.

Hall, a place used to entertain guests and hold dances; dining room, bedroom, study room, warehouse, etc.

It has to be said that in ancient residential areas, both in the East and the West, these rooms were relatively small because of insufficient supplies or insufficient manpower.This made Zhu Yu, who was used to living in courtyards and big houses, feel that this castle was really stingy!
But considering that in the Far East, a place where birds didn't poop very much, it was pretty good to be able to build such a relatively complete three-story castle out of stone.

Then he discovered his surprise.

The castle has a basement, but it has long been empty.

People who come here will probably think that the basement is the easiest place to hide things and the easiest place for people to rummage.

The place where Zhu Yu found it was on the east side of the second floor of the castle.

Normally, there are many small rooms on the second and third floors since there is no lobby.

Because there are more rooms, the space here is relatively crowded, and no one will think there is a problem here.

But Zhu Yu had his eyes open throughout the whole process, and he discovered that there was a space on the east side of the second floor that was supposed to be a room, which was completely built into the wall.

In other words, there is a hidden space here!

And behind the hidden space, there really are a lot of things hidden!
This is really a surprise!

Zhu Yu didn't ask until he finished visiting the three floors and went down to the outside of the castle:

"How much does this castle cost?"

He was mentally prepared to be asked for a price by the lion.

After all, it is an ancient thing from 300 years ago, and according to the introduction of the agent, this is a house with "orderly inheritance", which means that the descendants of the people who built this castle may still be alive.

Look at those ancient castles in Europe that are said to contain vampires. They have so many restrictions, yet they still sell for so expensive prices!Don’t let me fix it yet!

The intermediary quoted a price that surprised Zhu Yu:
"$55 million."

In Zhu Yu's understanding, this price is really a bit low.

The land fee is not enough, right?
But think about it, this place where no bird even poops can be sold, it’s already very popular!

His customary counteroffer:

"$40, I think it should be more appropriate."

After Vera quoted the price, the agent's eyes widened and he said loudly without hesitation:
"make a deal!"

Hastily!
The way he looked at the intermediary was like looking at the wrongdoer!
Maybe it can be done for $20!
It seems that I haven't bargained for a long time, my hands are raw, no, my mouth is raw!
Now that the price had been quoted, Zhu Yu said nothing more and had no regrets.

After asking Vera to take Cao Dalong to go through the formalities, Zhu Yu began to inspect his castle and the nearby land.

It has to be said that there are no people, so resources are abundant.Zhu Yu casually walked around the castle grounds and looked at the black things and white things on the birch trees. There were so many!
Chaga mushrooms and white hericium are all treasures in the eyes of mountaineers!

In the nearby woods, you can also see red deer, roe deer, foxes and so on.

Obviously, there is no shortage of wildlife resources.Mushrooms are everywhere and can be seen everywhere.

When Zhu Yu and Ran Jie walked to the small lake, they found that there was a river that ran through the small lake. It went up and down to provide water and drainage for the small lake.

The lake surface is sparkling, and small fish jump from time to time.

"Boss, it would be great to have a boat fishing here." Ran Jie pointed to the small lake and said.

Zhu Yu looked at Xiaohu in a daze.

The area of ​​this lake is actually quite large. The river has taken a bend and formed a half-moon shaped lake.

The half-moon side is the lake, and the straight side is the river.And Zhu Yu and the others are currently standing on this side of the bend - there is something in the lake!The stars are dotted, making your eyes dazzle!
Zhu Yu felt that this thing was really the right thing to buy!

Judging from the current situation, just the things in the castle and the lake may not be enough to earn ten times the profit!
But this thing must be considered in the long term.

I walked around in a circle and just took a cursory look.Although he hasn't found anything else valuable yet, Zhu Yu feels that this is already worth it.

Back at the castle, it would take some time for Cao Dalong and the others to get things done, so Zhu Yu simply took Ran Jie and Qin Fei to the military fort mentioned by the agent.

The military fort is not far away, and is relatively closer to the road than this castle.

When he arrived at the military fort, Zhu Yu was surprised to find that there were more than a dozen people studying the structure of the building.

He didn't understand what they were saying, but after looking at it, Zhu Yu roughly guessed that it was a professor from a certain university who brought his students out to do research.

Is this military fort relatively famous?
Zhu Yu was a little disappointed.

If it is really more famous, then there is less chance that there is something valuable in it.After all, when more people come, it will be easier to see where there is a problem.The more you study, the easier it will be to find out some secret things.

Those people also saw Zhu Yu and the others. The students looked at them curiously, and then listened to the middle-aged professor's lecture.

Zhu Yu and the others did not interfere with each other.We have always respected those who teach and educate people since ancient times, and Zhu Yu is no exception.He didn't intend to let his dirty work affect the other party.Anyway, there is plenty of time now.

Several people observed the shape of the military fort from a distance.

This is a typical ancient bastion, with dug slope protection and a moat-like protective circular tunnel made of stones. There is no water in it.

The military fortress has a multi-faceted irregular shape and is built according to the terrain. It is a two-story stone building and then extends five spike-like stone walls, which makes it easier to cross and attack invading enemies.

In terms of area, this military fort is larger than the castle and is flat.

Zhu Yu was standing outside the tunnel. With his eyes open, he could see the rusted iron arrowheads and broken sickles in the ground beneath his feet.

sickle?

What kind of strange thing is mixed in?
While Zhu Yu was thinking, he suddenly noticed that the middle-aged scholar suddenly came towards him with his students.

Zhu Yu looked at the scholar's eyes and knew that he was really looking for him.

He walked around and walked across the temporary stone bridge on the tunnel.

Tomsk is a city with relatively concentrated education and rich educational resources.Zhu Yu could tell that the students behind this scholar not only had big hair, but also had faces from Europe, America, the Middle East and even East Asia.

"Hello." The middle-aged man greeted.

Zhu Yu was a little surprised, the other person spoke Chinese!

"Hello!" Zhu Yu hurriedly shook hands with the other party.

"I once studied abroad at Harbin Institute of Technology." The other party said with a smile, "I like it there! Especially the red sausage there!"

Well, no matter what, people do praise us!

"How did you know that I am from China?" Zhu Yu asked with some confusion.After all, many foreigners around the world cannot tell the difference between Chinese, Bangzi and Japanese people.

"I stayed there for three years." The middle-aged scholar raised his finger and said, "I have dealt with international students from other countries in East Asia. I can tell that you are from China. This is my intuition."

Okay, maybe my temperament is special?
"This is our country's military fortress hundreds of years ago." The middle-aged scholar pointed to the bastion behind him and said, "Our current research topic is this. I only found out that there is a relatively complete one here through many inquiries.

But this bastion is a bit ordinary.Friends visiting China and friends from China, I would like to ask you what the ancient military forts there looked like. "

Well, this one just hit Zhu Yu's blind spot.

Zhu Yu immediately looked at Ran Jie and Qin Fei.

Ran Jie said nothing, took a step back with a smile, and let Qin Fei out.

"There is a big difference between ancient Chinese military fortresses and this kind of fortress." Qin Fei said:
"Comparatively speaking, the size of ancient Chinese forts varies greatly. The smaller ones are simply called forts, which are similar to today's sentry towers. They are made of earth and stone as high walls with crenelations and walkways... although the larger ones may also be called forts. , but it’s basically equivalent to an acropolis, almost like a small city…”

While he was talking, he found a piece of sand nearby and started paddling.

The scholar and his students immediately surrounded Qin Fei and watched carefully.

Zhu Yu smiled, he had so many talents under his command.

But it just so happened that there was no one in the military fort now, so he walked over leisurely, planning to conduct a "field inspection".

Entering the castle, Zhu Yu found that unlike what he thought, there didn't seem to be too many people in the military castle.There are overgrown weeds inside, and there are some traces of being stepped on, but they are new, and it should be done by these students.

So no one has been here for a long time, at least not in.

There is an open space in the middle of the military fort, which should be used for gathering people, and then there is a ramp to go up to the fort wall. This ramp is built into steps with stone strips, but looking at the traces, it seems that no one has stepped on it for a long time.

There are some stone houses against the fort wall, with an inner height of about two meters. Taller people have to bend down.Naturally, the doors and windows were gone a long time ago, and there was even wild animal excrement inside, which had a strong smell.

Zhu Yu frowned and did not go in. He just glanced at it, then backed out and walked up the ramp.

Then he stopped.

Ran Jie followed Zhu Yu and saw him stop, so he stopped too.

The boss didn't say anything, so it was naturally difficult for Ran Jie to ask.

But looking at Zhu Yu's appearance, there was a high probability that he had discovered something unusual.

Zhu Yu stopped for about half a minute, and then continued walking up.

When you walk to the top of the fort wall, you can see what's going on outside.

From a high position, he originally thought that the people defending here should be using bows and arrows, but what he just discovered surprised him.

I didn’t expect it to be quite advanced at that time!
He can rent this bastion.

Zhu Yu circled around the outer fortress wall, then walked down another ramp, walked around to the gate, and walked out.

"...The largest military forts in ancient China have always been a combination of military and civilians. There were garrisons, farmers and civilians, and they usually also had the function of farming..." Qin Fei continued to popularize historical knowledge to the group of people.

Zhu Yu smiled and then walked in another direction.

He walked all the way to the edge of the tunnel, and then stood there, lowering his head as if thinking about something.

Of course, I'm not really thinking, but "looking" down.

From the first ramp just now, Zhu Yu discovered a tunnel with his heavenly eyes.There was also a box placed in the blocked opening of the tunnel. The box was opened and there were several loose muzzle-loading muskets inside.In the box next to it are several barrels of black powder and lead bullets.

He walked along the tunnel, and then "saw" that at the end of the tunnel, which was about 1.5 meters high, was a large warehouse with many boxes stacked inside. Inside the boxes were neatly placed flintlock rifles and those with bayonets. kind.

Although this thing is now somewhat rusty, its overall condition is still almost [-]% new.

It may be that the environment here leads to good preservation.

In addition to boxes, there are bullets, gunpowder, and a small number of knives, axes and other cold weapons.

Because the location is relatively remote, the ground here is overgrown with weeds, and even shrubs and small trees have grown up. Therefore, no one comes here, so it has not been discovered.

This is also in the Far East. If it were placed in a densely populated area in Europe, it would probably have been discovered by a group of treasure hunters with metal detectors.

Zhu Yu noted the location and then turned back.

It happened that Qin Fei had finished speaking to those people, and the professor and scholar was holding Qin Fei's hand with both hands, smiling and thanking him.

Qin Fei's face was a little red at this time, and he even said it was okay.

Zhu Yu could tell that several female students looked at Qin Fei affectionately, with admiration in their eyes, which was quite strong!

Qin Fei looked at Zhu Yu and Ran Jie who were smiling in the distance and hurriedly walked over.

"Not bad, not bad. It's so honorable." Ran Jie said with a smile, "I knew that the things you studied when you were on a mission in northwestern Shanxi would definitely be useful."

"I was just curious at the time. I didn't expect that there were so many remaining ancient castles on the three sides of the ancient times." Qin Fei smiled and explained this to Zhu Yu, "There are quite a few well-preserved ones now, which is quite interesting, so I I studied it by the way.”

"Boss, are we going back?" Ran Jie asked.

Zhu Yu looked at the students who were planning to leave by car and looked here from time to time, and said:
"Call Dalong and tell us to rent this military fort for... half a year." If the time is short, what happens will be a bit suspicious. If the time is long, no one else can enter, so you can dig for treasures calmly. .

This is exactly Zhu Yu's plan.

After returning to the castle, Zhu Yu and the others were waiting for Cao Dalong and the others to return from work.

What surprised Zhu Yu was that there was actually a tour group coming here on a bus.The people who got out of the car were not big-haired people either.The tour guide was a middle-aged fat lady, explaining to the tour group:

"This used to be a castle for royal nobles in the Tsarist era. Later, according to legend, the Snow Queen came here and wanted to make deals with the nobles.

The noble refused, and then the Snow Queen cast a spell to freeze the castle into an ice castle - just like the movie "Frozen"..."

Well, Zhu Yu knows that although there is an existence like the Snow Queen in Da Mao's ancient legend, that thing is different from Princess Elsa, right?

The Snow Queen is basically a cold and cruel character. Princess Elsa is so beautiful, but these are two completely different things!
Zhu Yu felt that this tour guide had directly ruined the heroine's character in "Frozen"!

This can't be tolerated!We can't let her come here again!Otherwise the children will have to cry!
Just kidding, of course.Mainly for confidentiality and the safety of those treasures.

Once the formalities are completed, this place must be circled.Then put up a sign, "Private property, no entry!"

Otherwise, it will be difficult to dig for treasure by yourself!
