Chapter 471 Natural Disasters and War-torn World 19
In fact, they had already discussed it when they came. Except for leaving enough grain for the tenants on Zhuangzi, they would take away everything else.
I heard that there has been a war at the border. Although their place is not close to the border, they are only separated by three cities. If it weren't for this, the Shen family wouldn't have run away so early.
Shen Li, the one who was left behind, couldn't be worried in vain. She always had the benefits she deserved. This could be regarded as a rule that a wealthy family adheres to.
In other words, Shen Li is taking care of all the industries here in Yuncheng.
Originally, Mrs. Shen thought that she had ruined Shen Li through the hands of the second lady, so these properties would be taken care of by her old servants. Unfortunately, fate is not as good as fate. Not only did Shen Li fail to die, she also lost her reputation.
She can't say anything wrong about Shen Li. This is all spread privately by other wealthy families in Yuncheng. What does it have to do with Shen Li?
Even if Mrs. Shen wanted to blame the matter on Shen Li, Shen Li would not have to speak on her own, someone would argue for her.
Shen Zhen has already discussed with Zhuangtou how to arrange this season's harvest. They all know that the price of food is about to rise, so the Shen family will definitely keep the food.
Zhuangtou's only worry is that the Shen family will not leave them a way to survive. If the Shen family takes away all the food, they will be doomed.
Could Shen really not know what Zhuang Tou was thinking? He knew everything.
"Let's see. Originally, the eldest lady wanted all the food to be taken away. I definitely can't agree. We have been dealing with each other for so long, and we definitely can't let you have no way of survival. Let's see, we will follow the example of previous years and let you Leave four floors, but this is an exception made by Mr. Shen for everyone. It cannot be spread out, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to other Zhuangzi." Upon hearing this, Zhuangtou immediately kowtowed in gratitude and said, "Thank you for your consideration, young master. I will do it for Zhuangzi
. The people here kowtow to the young master, wishing him great success and a bright future."
Not to mention how grateful Zhuangtou and the people in Zhuangzi were, Ling Xue and Shen Zhen started to hunt for treasures in other courtyards.
Because Ling Xue had already had a treasure hunting experience, he was determined not to let go of any place where treasure might be hidden.
Once the mental power is swept away, all the good things are gone.
Do you think that the other courtyard is just a simple courtyard? This may be the case for other families, but for the Shen family, this is a treasure trove of their family.
Sure enough, after being swept away by Lingxue, the treasures hidden by the Shen family were found in many places such as the rockery, the bottom of the pond, the darkroom, the kitchen cellar, etc.
The amount of these treasures is really quite large. The total adds up to 200,000 taels of gold. It is really a huge treasure!
Ling Xue had already had a treasure hunting experience, so she was not so surprised, but Shen Zhen was not like this. He felt like he could hardly breathe.
He had lived so long that he really didn't know that this courtyard actually contained so many gold, silver and jewels. This meant that Shen Li had received the inheritance from his ancestors, otherwise these things would probably have disappeared from the light of day.
Seeing the boxes of treasures being collected by Ling Xue with a wave of his hand, Shen Zhen was even more excited than Ling Xue. The methods of the Xian family were indeed beyond the comprehension of ordinary mortals like them. If it comes to him, even if he is given so much gold and silver, he won't be able to take it away. The gap between people is too big.
The two of them stopped to rest after collecting the treasures from the No. 1 annex. In order to clear up any omissions, Ling Xue and Shen Zhen walked around the annex three more times until they confirmed that nothing was missing.
