Reborn to be rich

Chapter 22

Wu Laosan looked at Zhang Guotao at the side. Wu Boss had repeatedly told them to be polite when facing Zhang Guodong. It was best for such smart people to be friends, and maybe a word from the other party could save their lives.

"I don't know if the third brother knows the commercial and trade planning area of ​​the county?" Zhang Guodong and Wu Laosan were chatting sentence by sentence in the car. When the topic changed to transportation, Zhang Guodong asked suddenly.

"This seems to be in the planning stage, and the leaders above have not yet made a conclusion." Wu Laosan thought for a while and said, he didn't know why Zhang Guodong suddenly mentioned the trade city.

"The construction of the commercial and trade planning area is certain. The reform and opening up has entered the time of rapid development. The leaders of the county are not stupid. They cannot integrate the trade and economy of the county. money."

Wu Laosan thought about Zhang Guodong's words, what does being a car driver have to do with the construction of the county's trade city? Could it be that he wants to win the construction of the trade city?He doesn't have that strength either!

"Brother Zhang, please tell me clearly, brother, I am a rough person. If you need people to guess, you should talk to my elder brother! Haha... Brother won't mind if I talk like this!"

"How come, the third brother is a man of temperament, no one on the road knows that you are loyal. We can't grab the county trade city project, it is the meat eaten by the big guys, but we small people should also do our best for the development of the county. Contributions are not." Zhang Guodong saw Wu Laosan listening carefully, and then continued to speak.

"Third brother should be the most familiar with the road from the county seat to Chang'an City! If the commercial city is really established, the shops must be purchased from Chang'an City, and everyone will basically take your car, right! Then At that time, whether you pull or not pull the big bags of goods for everyone, if you pull them, how can people sit in the trucks piled with these goods, it will be difficult if you don’t pull them.”

"You want me to do commodity trading?" Wu Laosan has been engaged in transportation in his previous life, and has never been in contact with the trade industry.

"Direct commodity trading is too troublesome. I can open a special goods wholesale market in the trade city. I only need a truck, and then find a bigger warehouse in the trade city. This is also responding to the government's call, isn't it? When something happens It’s easy to talk to the leaders of the county, isn’t it?” When Zhang Guodong met Wu Laosan, he couldn’t help but think of the commercial city in the county. He became the biggest target of anti-crime.

Mr. Wu was meditating quietly. The profit in the wholesale of goods was much higher than that of long-distance buses. He also knew that the people's life is getting richer and richer, which is a necessary trend of social development. There will be a new round of competition in this industry. Opening a commodity wholesale store directly will eliminate most people's competition in the trade industry.

"Brother Zhang, you can tell me that you think of me, Wu Guangmin. This wholesale business is really good, but I have to discuss it with my elder brother." Wu Laosan said sincerely.Everything he said was his elder brother's. Opening a wholesale market also requires people who can guard it. If he tells Boss Wu about this proposal, even if it is done in the end, the business of the wholesale store will not drop. to him.

Whoever said that honest people don't have a heart, Wu Laosan's thinking is not wrong at all, if he has been only on the passenger line, it will be difficult to achieve much.

"How about Brother Zhang and the two of us doing this? Let me do all the transportation of the goods, and don't worry about the safety of the wholesale market. We will pay half of the amount required." Wu Laosan suggested.

"Construction of the trade city should start at the end of this year, and the first batch of commercial stores will be sold in the second half of next year. This matter is not urgent now. If the third brother is really willing, we will discuss the details then." Zhang Guodong promised.

On the way from Chang'an City to Yongkang County, there are 3 shifting cars. They are all village tyrants who set up barriers at the intersection of their own villages. This national road back to Yongkang County will lead to Long Province, and many of them start from some villages. passed by the curb.Wu Laosan has a good reputation on this road. Many people saw his car and moved away from the roadblock to let him pass.

After returning to the county seat, Zhang Guodong ran directly to his home. It took him an hour and a half to reach his home on a 30-mile journey, and it was only 12 noon at this time.

"Brother, how is Uncle Fifth? Where are Dad and Wen Bin?" Zhang Guotao hurriedly asked when he saw his brother come back.

After Zhang Guodong told the situation to the second brother, the second brother showed a desperate expression.

"Brother, where can we borrow more than 2000 yuan? Even if we borrow all our relatives, we still can't make up 500." Sitting on the steps of the door, Zhang Guotao did not expect that Uncle Wu's illness would be so serious that if he could not be completely cured now , and there will only be a few years left at most in the future.

"I'm trying to figure out how to deal with the money. Do you remember that there is a mountain called Zuitou Mountain near Longhua Village?"

"There are many mountains around Longhua Village, how could I remember, why are you asking this?"

"I got some information. If it's true, it's not a problem to collect 2000 yuan. The information is about Longhua Village." Zhang Guodong sorted out the thoughts in his head. He once specially studied the county history of the county and considered how to give The younger brother talked about the Zuitoushan silver dollar.

"During the late Qing Dynasty, there were big landlords living in Longhua Village. I heard that it was still the owner of the Eight Banners of the Manchus. Later, when the Qing Dynasty perished, many big landlords of the Manchus were killed by warlords, and the landlord in Longhua Village was not spared. He took his family to hide in the ravine. The officers and soldiers searched for half a year but failed to find their shelter. In the end, although they were still found and reported by nearby villagers, the officers and soldiers were angry after killing the Manchu banner owner. They didn’t find much of what they had before, and there were mountain walkers who went to their old house, Zuitou Mountain, but they found nothing.”

"Do you suspect that those Manchu lords hid all their treasures? But the mountain is so big, if they concentrate on hiding something, others will definitely not be able to find it. These legends may not be true." Zhang Guotao returned, he was obviously interested in finding The Manchu lords were not interested in the possible existence of treasures.

"I have carefully analyzed the information of the Manchu landlord at that time. The 7 or 8 villages around us used to be his family's land. The reason why he settled his home in the most remote place of Longhua Village was to find the land for himself. Lu, according to the information recorded in Ganjing Xiangxiang, I suspect that there must be treasures in Zuitou Mountain that have not been discovered."

Zhang Guotao is also thinking about treasure hunting, and prepares the equipment for travel with his brother.Ropes, small pouts, shovels, kerosene lamps, flashlights, these things are all necessary equipment for exploring deep caves.

Because they didn't want to attract attention, the two of them didn't ride their bicycles in the afternoon. They walked to Xigou and headed south from the side of the ditch, so as to avoid encountering people from several villages on the road. It's straight hair, there are big and small ravines everywhere, it's hard to imagine that anyone would choose to make a home here.

"Longhua Village itself is located in the Bangou Mountain Col, and the surrounding kilometers are very similar in landscape. If you want to avoid hunting, this is a good place." Zhang Guodong saw that there are countless strange-shaped mountains in front of him. In the next 30 years, near Zhangjialing All 9 villages have been developed for tourism development, which is not unrelated to these mountain wonders.

"Brother, if you don't ask the people in Hualong Village, they must know which Zuitou Mountain is. If the two of us look for it here, we probably won't be able to find the treasure if we die. A classmate of mine lives here. We can ask he."

"No, you can't alarm others about this matter. Just follow me and be safe. I have some preparations to bring you here today."

According to the information of the 3 cans of silver dollars in memory, it should be not far from the west of Longhua Village. It is said that it was discovered in a tunnel, and it was when a child was herding sheep.In this way, it can be determined that the silver dollars must be in some abandoned old cave dwellings.

Walking around Longhua Village, the wheat farms of the people here are next to the Zhuang base. Everyone is busy harvesting wheat and no one notices that someone is wandering around their village.Zhang Guodong found that there were three abandoned kiln areas in Longhua Village. The nearest one was [-] meters away from their village, and no tunnels were found. More than half of the farthest old kiln had been washed away by water, and only the middle kiln area was in the middle of a cliff. , where the road is difficult, most people can't go up.The last piece of old kiln is in the middle of their village. It should not be abandoned for a long time, and it is unlikely to be buried for maintenance.

"Go here!" Zhang Guodong said, pointing to the most difficult mountain to climb. This mountain looks like two thick lips from a distance. A few abandoned old cave dwellings, the cave dwellings are quite large from a distance.

Zhang Guodong found the path up the mountain, many of which were walked by sheep. He took a lot of effort until he came to the entrance of the first old cave dwelling. This cave dwelling has been severely damaged by man-made. There is a hole in the ground that must have collapsed, and ordinary children cannot dig it out.

Leaving this cave, Zhang Guodong found four more such large caves. Generally, only rich people can dig such large caves, and all the tunnel entrances have been destroyed. Zhang Guodong and his second brother could not dig through at all.

"How could rich people come to live here? They are stupid! These tunnels have been dug out long ago, and we can wait until we come to dig them out." Seeing the situation in front of him, Zhang Guotao couldn't help but sighed.

"Let's look to the other side. There must be something in it that we haven't noticed." The ingots found by a few children at random showed that the entrance of the cave was actually easy to find, but there was still no clue to go past the two consecutive sides.

"Brother, it's getting dark, you see the bats are coming out to look for food!" Zhang Guotao said dejectedly, he and his brother dug several tunnels in the afternoon, but they found nothing, only some rusty gun warheads, and some old bowls.

"Bats! Guotao, have you seen where these supports come from?" These bats suddenly appeared in the sky, and they must have flown from nearby, which might guide him to find the tunnel he was looking for.

"It's the first cave, the biggest one, which flew out from the crack in the wall inside the cave. I saw several of them coming out together just now." Zhang Guotao pointed to the cave that he inspected for the first time. He and his brother dug here. For over an hour there was no clue.

"Go, come back with me!"

Going back to the first abandoned kiln, Zhang Guodong saw bats flying out of it. When he walked in, he saw that they were flying out of a crack in the wall of a small apartment in the kiln.

"The gap is only so big, why are there so many bats, Guotao, give me the flashlight!" Zhang Guodong noticed something unusual, Zhang Guotao took out the flashlight from his backpack and handed it to his brother.

The strong light penetrates the gap in the cave above the head, the gap is only two fingers wide, and through the gap, it can be seen that the inside is actually empty.

"The back here is empty. We have to build a ladder first. Guotao, go find the branches. Remember not to be discovered by others. If anyone asks, just say we are catching scorpions!" At this time, the rural child I often go to the old caves to look for scorpions, and occasionally the medicinal materials company in the county will send people to the village to collect them.

The ladder was completed quickly, and the height of 1.5 meters was just enough for Zhang Guodong to reach the entrance of the cave. He took out his small pout and touched the entrance of the cave a few times, when a cave the size of a human head appeared.

Zhang Guodong dug the hole more than one meter deep, but the hole is only 30 cm in diameter at most, and it is impossible for people to pass through.

"Dig, even to the end!" Zhang Guodong continued to dig. After an hour, he finally dug a tunnel with a diameter of 60 cm and a depth of more than 2 meters. .

"It's probably here. Only a bear child can climb in such a small cave, and I don't know how the shepherd boy climbed to the top of the three-meter-high cave." Zhang Guodong couldn't help thinking.

"Guo Tao, wait outside first, I'll go in and have a look, if I yank the rope hard, you'll drag me out." Zhang Guodong tied one end of the rope around his waist, and the other end to the big earthen wall outside the cave, He took out a match from his pocket and lit the kerosene lamp, and then he crawled in from the dug hole.

Oxygen is often thin in deep caves. Although the bear child has proved that there is not much danger in it, he is still extra careful.

In the cave, Zhang Guodong turned west and climbed more than 20 meters, and suddenly saw some bones on the ground. The skull that fell on the ground beside him should be human bones.Zhang Guodong is a modern advocate, and he only respects the legacy of his ancestors without any fear.

Walking through a cave with a diameter of less than one meter is not a good feeling. Zhang Guodong observed the cave while advancing, thinking of those tunnels in the tunnel battle.Seeing that the kerosene lamp had no intention of going out so far, I continued to move forward.

"squeak……"

"Squeak...squeak..."

Suddenly a strange sound came from the cave, before Zhang Guodong could react, a group of about ten bats flew over his head, and at the bottom of the cave he saw countless bat droppings.

"Brother, how are you?" Zhang Guotao's voice came from outside.

"It's okay, it's just a few bats." Zhang Guodong continued walking in the direction of the bats.

After walking a few steps, Zhang Guodong felt that he should be climbing all the way down. The cave in front of him suddenly opened up, and finally turned into a 2-meter-high corridor.

Many candles in the wall holes on both sides of the corridor have not burned much. This should be the place where the Manchu lord fled.

The owner of the Eight Banners was able to build a cave dwelling among the cliffs in the past. He is really an extraordinary person. Even if the warlord troops found it here, it was obvious that he did not find his last secret cave in the end.

Taking a rough look at the crypt buildings in the middle of the mountain, Zhang Guodong was amazed.In addition to this exquisite corridor, there are two houses here, one can be seen to have a bed, but there is no bedding on it, and the owner should have taken everything with him when he left.

There was light on the west side of the kitchen. After Zhang Guodong looked hard, he found that there should be a natural cave leading to the cliff mid-air, and he could clearly feel the cool wind blowing from here.

Suddenly, Zhang Guodong saw a hole in the wall at the corner of the kitchen. There were 4 long guns that he did not recognize in the wall hole. They should be very old and outdated. A silver coin was lying on the side of the spear.
