Adventure Code

Chapter 93 Ending (3)

Jiang Shouyu's mind turned quickly. Although the price of jade is not so high in troubled times, the value is still beyond the imagination of ordinary people. If you open some raw jade and sell it, you can overcome the urgent need.

Not only that, but Jiang Shouyu thought very clearly, that is, the matter of the jade mine cannot be leaked out, otherwise the mine has nothing to do with the people here, and will definitely be snatched by the warlords. The matter of the jade mine can only be concealed .

Immediately, he opened some rough stones, quietly went back to the village, and secretly told his brothers and sisters about the matter. The whole family united together, secretly dug up the jade, and Jiang Shouyu got it to resell outside.

Selling jade at that time was a very eye-catching thing. Ordinary people would easily be targeted by others if they sold it, which would cause trouble to their upper body.

But Jiang Shouyu traveled abroad for many years and made many friends. At that time, there was a jade shop in the province called "Heshitang".

The old owner of this shop knew the old priest who took Jiang Shouyu in. He once allowed the two of them to live there for a while. He is cautious, moral and trustworthy.

Jiang Shouyu arrived at Heshitang, intending to cooperate with the old shopkeeper, but the last person who greeted him was the old shopkeeper's son. After inquiring, he found out that the old shopkeeper had passed away the year before last, and now the new shopkeeper of Heshitang , is his son 'Dong Jieshan'.

Jiang Shouyu had also met Dong Jieshan before, but he hadn't dealt with him much before. At first, the other party thought he was here to beat Qiufeng to ask for shelter, and he evaded his words, hoping that Jiang Shouyu would leave as soon as possible.

Although Jiang Shouyu was not angry, but when he thought about selling jade, he had no choice but to say to Dong Jieshan in a friendly voice, "I'm here to sell jade. I wanted to see Mr. Dong, but I didn't expect him to have passed away. Since You are the shopkeeper here, if you are interested, you might as well take a look at the goods in my hand."

Dong Jieshan looked at him suspiciously when he heard the words, and said, "Do you have jade? Cheng jade or raw jade? Raw jade or dead jade? Heirloom or soil? We don't accept things of unknown origin here."

Jiang Shouyu had stayed here before, so he naturally knew some sayings about the jade trade.

The so-called Chengyu refers to the jade that has been carved; the original jade refers to the original stone, that is, the original jade that has not been carved.

Raw jade refers to good jade. Jade has always been hailed as a spiritual thing. If it is contaminated with unclean things, it will become dead jade. Dead jade is worthless and even unlucky.

Heirloom refers to jade that has been passed down from the family or has a decent background; jade in the soil refers to not just dug out of the soil, but just dug out of the tomb.In troubled times, people's hearts were depressed, and they would do anything to survive, and the trend of digging and looting graves intensified at that time. Even some small warlords would ask soldiers to forcibly dig graves when they saw big graves.

The big graves in the old age are all rich and noble families, and most of them were buried with them, so the warlords dug the graves to pay for the army.

The jade from the soil is the dead jade in the tomb. This kind of jade is mostly ancient jade, which is precious, but it came from an improper way.

Jiang Shouyu avoided the eyes and ears of the shop assistants, put his hands around his mouth, and whispered, "Yuanyu."

After speaking, he pointed to his backpack.

Dong Jieshan's expression changed immediately, and he immediately waved his hands and said, "Please come in." Then he welcomed Jiang Shouyu into the inner hall, and ordered the clerk to serve tea.

The reason why his attitude has changed so quickly is because the local rough stones are rare, because there is no jade produced there, and the big domestic jade mines are all in Kunlun, XJ, and Qinghai, and there are Xiuyu and the like. It is not in the Qinling Mountains, but in the northeast.

Therefore, except for jade merchants who specialize in collecting rough stones, ordinary people do not have rough stones in their hands, and generally only have mature jade. Jiang Shouyu is carrying a backpack and says he has rough stones, which means that he may have discovered a jade mine.

After serving tea, the clerk was waved away, the two closed the door, and had a private conversation in the inner hall.

Jiang Shouyu took out the rough stone and showed it to Dong Jieshan. Dong Jieshan's eyes were straightened, he kept applauding, and he couldn't bear to take his eyes away for a long time.

After a full ten minutes, Dong Jieshan put down the jade and said, "Let's get acquainted for a while. I won't kill you. This is a good product. I bought it at the market price. But you have to tell me how this jade came from." of?"

Jiang Shouyu said: "Since I sold it to you, I have no intention of hiding its origin from you. After all, I don't feel at ease selling it to others." Immediately afterwards, he told about his discovery of the jade mine.

After Dong Jieshan listened, he said: "Well done, you can't talk about this matter. It stands to reason that this mine belongs to the higher-ups, but now that the Qing government is gone, who's in charge at the top? You say it's the Yuan family, right? I can't... Now there are warlords everywhere, Wang Fa is a fart! Which warlord wants to occupy the mine, can he say no? Let's hide this mine. Although it is impossible to hide it forever, we can also borrow it. Let’s make a fortune first, as for who will own the mine in the future, it has nothing to do with us.”

Jiang Shouyu said, "That's exactly what I mean."

Dong Jieshan said again: "What are your plans for the next step?"

Jiang Shouyu said: "I traveled abroad before, the world was too chaotic, and when I returned to the mountains, I wanted to avoid the war, but now, even the mountains are full of wars, I wanted to make a fortune, so I moved In the provincial capital, at least there is a local army, so it’s not that chaotic.”

Dong Jieshan said: "That's the reason, but you can't move now. Now that you move, what will happen to the mine?"

Jiang Shouyu said: "Of course we can't move now, I understand that." The two conspired again, discussing the matter of handing over the goods in the future, and also discussing how to keep it secret in case it was revealed, until late at night, leaving Jiang Shouyu stayed for one night, and Jiang Shouyu returned home the next day.

Next, a large family of the Jiang family started the mining business, but in order to deceive people, they still had to go to the fields to farm.

But there is no impenetrable wall in this world, especially the rural women of that era, who were uneducated and only had so many tricks in their hearts.

The daughter-in-law of the third child in the family knew that life was going well, so she became arrogant and quarreled with the women in the village, but she quickly let it go.

But fortunately, when he leaked the words, all the people present were from the Jiang family.

At that time, the family concept was very strong, and one surname was a family member, so in the end, the old patriarch of the Jiang family called all the Jiang family together.

First, he criticized Jiang Shouyu, saying that he shouldn't take it all by himself, and then comforted him, saying that the jade mine was discovered by Jiang Shouyu's family after all, and they should take the majority. : Let's mine together!
