Natural disasters in books: I stockpiled goods to escape famine in ancient times

When I returned home after dinner, I happened to meet Zhang Wu who had just come out. The two of them walked into the living room in the front yard one after the other.

Zhang Wu sat at the bottom with a serious expression: "According to the master's instructions, a batch of things were delivered this afternoon. As for the live chickens, ducks, and rabbits, I went to the market too late, so there are not many good ones. I am thinking of going to the surrounding villages tomorrow and buying them directly from the farmers."

Seeing that he was a little nervous after he finished speaking, Song Shi frowned slightly: "Anything else?"

Zhang Wu nodded: "The things we bought today are not enough, so I will ask those people to collect more and send as much as they collect..."

"Okay, I'll be at home for the next two days. Just go to the village and I'll take over the things they sent."

Zhang Wu immediately breathed a sigh of relief and felt that his master was easier to talk to.

"I don't have anything else to tell you. You should go back and have a good rest. I'll give you two days off when you come back."

Zhang Wu smiled shyly: "It is an honor for me to work for you, my master. Please let me know if you have anything to say."

Song Shi smiled and waved, letting him go back.

As night fell, Song Shiwei leaned on the bed and looked through some documents, preparing to do something big later.

At the end of midnight, hearing the sound of the night watchman outside, Song Shiwei turned over and got out of bed quickly, tied up her long hair that was in the way and rolled it into a bun, then opened the door, jumped out of the yard, and headed straight for the north of the city.

The capital city is divided into four parts: east, south, west and north. The imperial palace is in the most central area. The south and north of the city are inhabited by dignitaries, the east is home to some big merchants, and the west is generally poorer.

This time, Song Shiwei was still planning to get rid of the treacherous minister Cao Chong, whom he discovered accidentally while looking through information in the past two days.

This treacherous minister is a real dog. He actually bought a four-courtyard mansion in the name of his own son. If it weren't for the information showing that Cao Chong went there every now and then, I would have almost missed it.

The figure leaped quickly across the rooftops, and after the teleportation was activated, only an afterimage could be seen.

Twenty minutes later, Song Shiwei stopped at the outer wall of a house, held his breath and carefully felt the several auras in the yard. When he opened his eyes again, there was only excitement in his eyes.

There was no way. Every time he did something bad, Song Shiwei couldn't control his excitement and wanted to rub his hands and walk a few steps.

There were thirty auras in the house, much lighter than that of ordinary people, and probably much better than the people in the farms outside the city. Song Shiwei rubbed his chin, jumped into the yard in a flash, and then teleported to a rockery. The floor plan of the house was very detailed in his mind, even the secret room under the house was included.

Although there are many people in the backyard, the entrance to the secret room is actually in a woodshed in the front yard. If an ignorant person doesn't know about it, he will probably be confused.

Avoiding the patrolling guards, Song Shiwei quickly entered the woodshed.

It was Cao Chong who was clever and took advantage of people's potential reflection to place the entrance to the secret room in the woodshed. Ordinary woodsheds are naturally not locked. If they were locked, it would clearly tell people that there was a problem here.

But he was really cunning. If I didn't have the information, I would have been fooled.

Pushing aside the layers of firewood in the woodshed, a corner was revealed, where was placed... uh... a chamber pot?

Song Shiwei's face immediately turned dark. He immediately took out a small piece of cloth from the space and put it on his hand. Then he rotated the chamber pot, and a dark hole appeared on the ground. He immediately jumped down.

After crossing an aisle, a door appeared. It opened with a gentle push. Song Shiwei took out ten cents from his purse and threw them around. He waited for a while until there was no movement before he walked in with confidence.

There were several oil lamps burning in the secret room, and the light was very dim, but there were a lot of things piled inside. However, after taking a few steps forward, I kicked something with my feet.

Song Shiwei opened the bag and raised his eyebrows after seeing what was inside.

A bag full of white salt!

It filled up one third of the secret room.

Just when he was worrying about the difficulty in buying large quantities of salt outside, Song Shiwei put all of it in his pocket. The view in front of him suddenly became empty. He turned around and walked to the other side, where there were piles of grain and next to it was sugar.

Oh my goodness, such a large amount of salt, sugar and grain, how much did that bastard Cao Chong embezzle?

After putting the things into the space, Song Shiwei did not stay any longer and left here quickly. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he teleported all the way back to the house.

After guzzling a pot of tea, I finally felt like taking stock of what I had gained tonight.

After the things were put into the space, the quantities became clear. There were 10,000 kilograms of salt, followed by 50,000 kilograms of rice and 5,000 kilograms of sugar.

I suppressed the upward curve of my lips, I made a lot of money tonight!

Having just robbed a large sum of money, Song Shiwei was quite excited. He thought that it would not take long for Cao Chong to find out that the things over there were missing. After all, the house was not far from Cao Chong's residence, and there were people checking it every few days. After thinking about it, he decided to go out again.

Since I can't sleep, let's run again~

They teleported all the way to Cao Chong's mansion. This was the time when people were in deep sleep, and also the time when people on night watch were at their weakest.

There were not many people patrolling Cao Chong's mansion at night. Probably because they had to maintain their character, the servants on guard slept particularly soundly. When Song Shiwei teleported past, he noticed the glistening smile at the corner of one of the servants' mouth.

There are two secret rooms in the entire mansion, one in Cao Chong’s study in the front yard, and the other in the room where Cao Chong sleeps; according to the map, the mansion also has two large warehouses, both in the backyard.

Song Shiwei first went to the study in the front yard, successfully avoided the patrolling guards, skillfully opened the dark room, quickly packed up his things, and went to the backyard.

Standing in the darkness, Song Shiwei heard deafening snoring again and again, his face full of black lines.

Slept pretty soundly.

Song Shi curled his lips slightly, took out the prepared incense from the space, covered his mouth and nose, lit it and threw it in.

After a while, he opened the window and walked in, then walked to the bed. There were two people lying on the bed. The light was too dim to see their faces, but Song Shiwei didn't want to see the thief clearly, so he walked around to the back of the bed, moved the wall behind the candlestick and slowly opened it.

The dark room in the house was not big, about thirty square meters, and there were ten large boxes and one small box inside. If I guessed correctly, the large boxes contained gold and silver, and the small boxes contained silver bills.

After neatly putting it into the space, Song Shiwei flashed out of the room and teleported to the warehouse of the mansion.

There was a lock on the warehouse door, but this did not pose a problem for Song Shiwei. She took off the silver hairpin from her head, pushed it into the keyhole and moved it a few times. The lock opened instantly, and she slipped into the warehouse before the patrolling guards came over.

In addition to gold, silver and jewelry, most of the things in the warehouse were gorgeous ornaments and fine silks. One of the boxes contained a lot of land deeds and house deeds, and with the attitude of not leaving any behind, they were all put away in the warehouse.

The second warehouse was filled with tonics such as ginseng, bird's nest, and deer antlers, as well as a lot of food that ordinary people could not afford. They were all collected!

After putting away his things, Song Shiwei noticed an uneven floor near the door, so he hurried forward to check it out. He squatted down and fumbled around on the ground, and finally felt a crack at the edge. He immediately pulled it up hard, and found another dark hole.

Song Shiwei was really impressed with himself. He bought everything except some torches. It was so dark that he couldn't see anything clearly.

But there was no time wasted. I slowly walked down the stairs at the entrance of the cave. Fortunately, there was an oil lamp inside, so I was not completely in the dark.

I took down an oil lamp and held it in my hand. After taking a few steps, I felt a chill.

The oil lamp was extended forward, and everything in sight was white.

So many ice cubes!

I didn't expect that there was an ice cellar under the warehouse, which contained much more than what I had bought before.

Song Shiwei hurried forward and waved his hand to collect all the ice cubes into the space.
