To get rich quickly, you need to be simple and rough
Chapter 190 It’s Not Easy to Be the Richest Man in Ming Dynasty 2
Shen Yujin used the treasure bowl to collect all the boxes in the secret room in front of Shen Fu and Shen Rong.
Shen Fu burst into tears: "I have guarded this treasure for half my life, and now this is how it is used! This is like going to a mountain of treasures and coming back empty-handed! My dear grandson has too many things, how can the treasure hold them all?"
Shen Yujin touched his left hand and said, "Grandpa, this is very big. It can hold as many things as you want."
Shen Fu's waist and legs were no longer sore, and he got up from the ground in one breath: "Big brother, hold on to me, let's take the child to pack the things. Let's also let the child see the wealth of our Shen family! Your grandfather didn't just rely on the baby to make a fortune!"
As people grow older, they become more cunning and shrewd. Although Shen Fu made a mistake with Zhu Yuanzhang, he underestimated the emperor's methods.
Shen Fu is definitely a smart man, and he understands the principle of "a cunning rabbit has three burrows" very well.
Shen Fu, Shen Rong, and Shen Yujin, wearing blue cloth jackets, came from the back door of the grocery store and drove a blue cloth mule cart to a small house of the Shen family.
This house is located in Huabao Lane, where brothels are everywhere. There is a constant stream of people coming here to have fun and visit the brothels. There are also many prostitutes living in the lane.
The Shen family's house was located at an inconspicuous corner. When Shen Fu opened the door, a mother and daughter dressed in red and green came out to greet him, bowing and calling him "host."
Shen Fu rewarded the two men with fifty taels of silver. They turned around, took their baskets, and left the yard pretending to go shopping.
Shen Fu closed the door from the inside and brought his children and grandchildren to the warehouse. He pressed hard on the stone trough at the back of the warehouse, and an iron ring came out of the trough. Shen Fu and Shen Rong then pulled the bottom of the trough open.
A dark cave entrance appeared before their eyes. Shen Fu led his grandson down the ladder, leaving Shen Rong at the top to keep watch.
Under the twenty-meter-long corridor was a brick-built secret room, densely packed with more than a hundred boxes. Shen Fu didn't say anything more and told Shen Yujin to put the things away quickly.
Now these things are the Shen family's time bombs. The richer they are, the faster they die and the more miserable their fate will be.
Shen Yujin can only solve the urgent problem by cleaning up the root of this trouble now.
Shen Yujin touched the box with his left hand, only to see that the densely packed boxes had disappeared in an instant, leaving behind an empty secret room.
Shen Fu and Shen Rong climbed up to the cave entrance. In just a quarter of an hour, they easily cleared out the Shen family's treasure hiding place.
Shen Fu took his children and grandchildren out of Huabao Lane through the back door and got on his family's most inconspicuous mule cart. Shen Fu took the children out of the city and came to the ancestral tomb.
It was already dark by then. The Shen family cemetery was huge, and Shen Rong was trembling with fear: "Dad, why are you coming to the ancestral grave so late at night? It's so creepy, I'm so scared!"
Shen Fu spat at Shen Rong: "What are you talking about? Shut your damn mouth!"
Shen Fu came to the ancestral grave, lit a fire stick to look around, and pressed the tombstone downwards. The grave mound actually moved backwards, revealing a dark hole underneath. Shen Fu left his son to keep watch outside for a quarter of an hour, and then took Shen Yujin down the hole.
Shen Fu found a lantern on the wall of the cave, lit it with a tinder, and took out a night-shining pearl from his pocket and handed it to his grandson: "My dear grandson, watch your feet carefully, there are a lot of things.
This isn't a cemetery at all; it's clearly a treasure trove. Shen Fu hollowed out the half-acre of land below, claiming it was a cemetery filled with gold, silver, and jewelry.
There were so many boxes packed together that you couldn't see the end of it. There were more than 600 large boxes in total.
This is the Shen family's largest treasure. Shen Yujin did not dare to neglect it and collected it from beginning to end. He didn't know how Shen Fu designed it. The water drainage in the secret room was very good and it was very dry inside.
The brocade brocade, which had been stored for more than ten years, was still as good as new. Shen Yujin couldn't help but sigh that Grandpa was really courting death. For a businessman like you to have so many royal exclusive products is like looking for shit with a lantern in the toilet.
If someone caught him, he would be guilty of an unforgivable crime! He rushed to hand the knife to Zhu Yuanzhang.
This is a lack of background. Poor people try to show off their wealth by taking all the good things home without even considering whether it will bring trouble.
Shen Yujin packed up all the things in fear. Only then did Shen Fu bring his grandson back to the ground.
Shen Rong was numb now, just hoping that these two ancestors would leave quickly. He was terrified! What was going on? It was really scary to come to this place so late at night.
But how could Shen Fu go back like this? The three of them sat on the mule cart. Shen Rong drove the cart. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and drove the cart to a pond west of the village under Shen Fu's instructions.
This pond is quite large, covering several dozen acres, and the water depth is over four meters.
There was a stone washing table by the pond, and there was a big willow tree by the pond. Shen Fu touched the tree hole of the big willow tree and pressed hard in an inconspicuous corner. The washing table suddenly retreated backwards through a hole.
As usual, Shen Rong was still the one keeping watch, while Shen Fu took Shen Yujin down into the cave.
Shen Yujin has become numb. The Shen family is so rich that it is not an exaggeration to describe them as wealthy enough to rival a country.
The more than 300 boxes in this secret room were actually all filled with gold. Since it was at the bottom of the pond, Shen Fu was so crazy that he filled it with gold because he was afraid that other things would rot.
You have to know that the purchasing power of silver and gold in the Ming Dynasty was extremely strong. If a farmer's family of ten earned ten taels of silver a year, the family could have a prosperous year.
You can also find a good wife for your children. The annual salary of a first-rank official in the Ming Dynasty was only 1044 shi of rice, which is equivalent to more than 500 taels of silver.
The Shen family, however, was awash in gold and silver, and overflowing with silk and satin. The masters of each household were lavishly dressed in gold and jade, while their servants paraded through the streets in silk and satin.
Shen Yujin quickly collected all the gold, and Shen Fu restored the mechanism to its original state.
Grandma and Grandpa worked until midnight to clean up the mess. Grandpa hadn't eaten or drunk anything all day and was starving.
These gold, silver, jewels, silks and satins can only enrich your spirit, but they cannot comfort your rebellious stomach. Shen Rong rode back at full speed.
The mess in the mansion's storehouse hasn't been cleaned up yet. We also need to check if the masters and servants of each household have anything taboo.
Nothing must go wrong at this critical juncture, and we must overcome this difficulty.
Shen Yujin asked a question in his mind: "What if Grandpa's secret room is discovered in the future?"
Shen Fu stroked his beard with a smile: "You silly boy, your grandfather has lived half of his life and has experienced everything, how could I do such an unreliable thing?
My grandfather spent a lot of money to hire an expert in mechanical engineering to design this mechanism, and the people who used it were refugees who could not afford food because of the war.
Each person dug a piece, unrelated to each other. It took two full years to complete.
These people were conscripted by the Mongols. They had to work underground and wore blindfolds when they came out, making it impossible for them to tell east from west.
Once this mechanism is activated, one's reputation will be destroyed.
The secret room is now filled with dirt and water, and no one can find any evidence against our Shen family!"
