Man Bao drags Bai Shan to pick up stones by the river.
Bai Shan asked, "Why are you picking this up?"
"For gold, silver and jewelry."
Bai Shan: "...is there such a good thing?"
Seeing that Man Bao spoke seriously, when Bai Shan was thinking whether to call Bai Er and the others to pick it up together, Man Bao said: "What are you thinking? The silk and satin are replaced by other things."
Bai Shan was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "Where do you put the jewels?"
Man Bao glanced at him, and Bai Shan understood.
After thinking for a while, he said, "It shouldn't be too many people who know about this matter, but just the two of us can't do it, I'll make the arrangements."
Man Bao was at a loss. She was used to hiding things like this since she was a child, and she felt that it was enough to hide things well. What other arrangements did she need to make
Bai Shan took her by the hand and went back. He first called Li Guanshi and asked him to buy some empty boxes with the villagers, then called Bai Erlang and the others to pick up stones by the river, and exchanged two bolts of silk cloth with the villagers. They brought some very bad leather and brought a lot of hay, and finally asked people to move all their valuables into the house.
This is something he can decide, but he can't. He went to Nie Canjun and the two passers-by, and said, "We're going to rearrange the valuables in the luggage. Do you want us to seal the boxes and keep them?"
Nie Canjun felt that in the face of horse thieves, even if you split up, you might not be able to keep them, because everyone was concerned about their lives when they collided. How many people would care about these gold, silver and jewels
But along the way, Bai Shan and Zhou Man's abilities are obvious to all, so he agreed after a little thought, and the soldiers who replaced him also agreed.
Anyway, everyone remembers what they have in their hands.
They remembered, but Bai Shan didn't remember, so in order to avoid disputes, he asked Bai Erlang and the others to take a pen and paper to count and record.
First unpack the luggage, each of them takes their precious things in their hands, and then puts the records that need to be handed over to them for safekeeping in the box before putting them in the box. As for how to arrange it later, it is his business.
With all the fanfare, no one knows how they plan to hide the stuff.
But because they took paper and pens to record, the soldiers who didn't plan to hide the treasure for them, but wanted to stuff it on themselves, also took things to register when they saw it.
They said to their comrades: "Swords and guns have no eyes. Listen to the meaning of joining the army. The Western Regions are in chaos now. No one knows when we will die in battle. Put things on your body. If I die, you won't be able to dig out me." When the corpse came, wouldn’t the treasure I carried be lost?”
"Didn't you say just now that you leave all the treasures to the adults for safekeeping, and if the luggage is lost, it will be gone?"
"Aren't I worried..." He said vaguely, "But now Mr. Bai is frank and recorded the list. I reckon that even if it is really lost in the future, Mr. Bai may pay us back."
Colleague: "...Didn't that trick Mr. Bai?"
"Oh, the big deal is that we will ask for less."
"Do you think it's possible that Mr. Bai wants to hide the treasure here and take it when we come back?"
"It's possible, but they also brought a lot of silk, satin and cloth. They are going to be sold in the Western Regions, right? Are they going to bring them back to the Central Plains if they stay here?"
The soldiers wondered.
In the house, Bai Shan was opening the boxes that had been counted, watching Man Bao walk through one box after another, and then disappear after picking up the things.
He looked at it for a while, and although his young father-in-law might be there, he didn't hold back and asked, "Man Bao, Uncle Zhou can only take things from you, can't he touch them himself?"
Man Bao blinked and realized that it was true. Keke could scan things, but he couldn't record them by himself. He could only record them if he got them from her, so...
Man Bao nodded.
Although I don't understand the reason, yin and yang are separated from each other. This may be the restriction given by God to people on both sides of yin and yang.
Otherwise, Uncle Zhou wouldn't have been wronged for so many years.
Bai Shan took out the things and handed them to her one by one to make her go faster, but he was still a little curious, "Man Bao, are these gold, silver and jewels useless in the underworld?"
Man Bao thought about it, and felt that even if there is a underworld, people also have their own currency and "gold and silver", so why should they rely on the world to exist
For example, in Teacher Mo’s world, money is just a number in the system, let alone “gold and silver”, not even copper coins.
So Man Bao nodded and said affirmatively, "It's useless."
Bai Shan sighed, "Isn't the burial of the rich and powerful families of the past dynasties useless?"
Man Bao is happy, "It should still be useful, and it can be used as military resources in the future."
Bai Shan nodded her nose helplessly, "Don't let Mr. hear it, or it will be another good lesson."
Man Bao glanced out with a guilty conscience, breathed a sigh of relief, and said seriously: "When I die in the future, I will bury some manuscripts I wrote with me, and I can show them off to others in the underworld, like gold. Things like silver jewelry should be left to future generations, they will use it when they need it, and I will take it with me, in case they are short of money in the future, become unfilial and dig up my tomb to use, that would be a shame.”
Bai Shan couldn't help laughing out loud, the more he thought about it, the happier he was, tears were about to come out, "Sir, let's take one step and watch three steps, you're good, the road hasn't gone yet, let's see a hundred years later."
Man Bao said: "I call it a rainy day."
While talking, they collected things, and after a while, they put away all the things, and then the two began to put stones and sand into the previous box.
There are labels on the boxes, written by Bai Shan, indicating what was in the box before.
Now they weigh things of about the same weight according to the contents of the box.
For example, a box containing gold and silver, put stones directly...
The box containing the satin cloth is wrapped in leather and put in dried vegetables...
They had just packed two boxes, and Bai Erlang and the others had also counted the things outside, and asked someone to carry them over.
Bai Shan closed the rest of the boxes and opened the door to let them in.
The soldiers didn't have many scattered things, they just packed two boxes, and they would also hide some gold and silver on their bodies, not all of them were handed over to Bai Shan for safekeeping.
Bai Shan doesn't care, anyway, it's enough to record it in detail in the booklet.
He let people in and said to Bai Erlang: "Call Yin or them to help later."
Bai Erlang probed his head and asked, "Can't you come over now?"
Bai Shan pushed his head out and said, "You guys can come back when I've made arrangements. Only Man Bao and I know the details. The fewer people who know, the safer it will be."
