Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

After leaving home, He Yuzhu did not go directly to Wu Baotian's house, but first turned to an abandoned house near Wu Baotian's house, and entered the blessed land cave from the abandoned house. He had not had time to check the things he had moved in Xu Tieying's house in the morning.

He Yuzhu first looked at the pile of medicines, opened the box and confirmed that it was penicillin of this era. He Yuzhu opened the remaining 5 suitcases one by one. The first suitcase was filled with American knife music. He Yuzhu counted it and found that there were 20 bundles of 100 pieces in each bundle, totaling 20 knife music; the second and third suitcases were filled with large yellow croakers, a total of 96 pieces; the fourth suitcase was filled with small yellow croakers and legal tender, 200 small yellow croakers, large-denomination legal tender of 500 million yuan, and small-denomination legal tender of 10 yuan; the last suitcase was filled with legal tender of denomination yuan, a total of 8000 million yuan; the wooden box was opened and there were 2000 Yuan Datou coins.

He Yuzhu closed the box containing Daole and gold again, and looking at the box of French currency in front of him, He Yuzhu thought about how to deal with this large sum of money. This money must not be kept, and must be spent quickly, otherwise it may be a pile of waste paper by next year. Although the French currency has depreciated a lot compared to three months ago, at the current market price, 8500 million French currency can still buy a lot of things, but what to buy needs to be calculated.

Suddenly, He Yuzhu thought of a person, Cui Zhongshi, deputy director of the treasury of the Peking Branch of the Central Bank. He remembered that this person was an undercover member of the Workers and Peasants' Party. So could he ask him to directly exchange the 8500 million yuan of legal tender for gold or daole, and the 200 boxes of penicillin he got from Xu Tieying's house could also be sold to the Workers and Peasants' Party through him. He Yuzhu decided to write a letter to Cui Zhongshi, so He Yuzhu took out a piece of paper and wrote that he had 8500 million yuan of legal tender and asked him to help exchange it for daole or gold. After the exchange, he would sell the 200 boxes of penicillin in his hand to him for 10 daole. If he wanted it, he only needed to put the money in the box and give it to the messenger. After he received the money, he would immediately tell him the location of the penicillin, and he could pick it up.

He Yuzhu wrote the letter, put it in an envelope, put the letter in his pocket, and left the blessed land with the suitcase filled with legal currency. He walked to the street and called a rickshaw. He told the driver that he was going to the Central Bank's Beiping Branch. The driver took He Yuzhu to the Central Bank's Beiping Branch. When they arrived at the door of the Central Bank's Beiping Branch, He Yuzhu said to the uncle who was pulling the rickshaw, "Uncle, if you are not in a hurry, you can wait for me here for a while. I will go upstairs to do something and come out soon. I will take your rickshaw back. This is 1000 yuan for the fare."

"Okay, little brother, I'll wait for you to come down, just go and do your business."

The rickshaw driver took the money and He Yuzhu said with a smile. He Yuzhu carried the suitcase and walked towards the gate. When he reached the guard room, a man came out and stopped He Yuzhu.

"Kid, what are you doing here?"

"Brother, I'm here to see Director Cui Zhongshi, the head of the Treasury. May I ask if he has come to work today?"

"Director Cui is here to work today. Do you have an appointment? I wouldn't dare let you in without one."

"Please call Director Cui and tell him that Fang Mengao sent me to deliver something to him. He will let me in as soon as he hears that."

The guard called Cui Zhongshi according to what He Yuzhu said. After listening to what Cui Zhongshi said, he asked the guard to let He Yuzhu in. "Director Cui said that you can go in. Director Cui's office is on the third floor of the building, the fourth room on the left."

He Yuzhu walked in with his suitcase and arrived at Cui Zhongshi's office on the third floor. He knocked on the door and heard a voice saying "Come in" from inside, so he pushed the door open and went in.

Cui Zhongshi sat on the chair inside the desk and looked at He Yuzhu.

"I'm Cui Zhongshi. You said you were here to give me something Fang Mengao gave me?"

"Yes, Director Cui, the man who gave me the box asked me to hand it to you. He told me that when the guard asks, I should say that Fang Mengao asked me to deliver something. He also asked me to bring a letter, saying that you will understand after reading the letter." After He Yuzhu finished speaking, he handed the letter in his pocket to Cui Zhongshi, and at the same time put the box on the table and pushed it to Cui Zhongshi.

Cui Zhongshi took the letter, confirmed that the envelope was intact and had not been opened, then tore open the envelope and took out the letter. When Cui Zhongshi saw the contents of the letter, he was shocked, but his face did not show any change.

"Who is the person who asked you to deliver the letter? Do you know what he looks like?"

"The person who asked me to deliver the letter was wearing a long gown, a hat, a beard and a pair of sunglasses. He said that if I delivered the item to you and brought it back, he would give me 2 dollars."

After listening to He Yuzhu's words, Cui Zhongshi thought about it in his mind.

"Go to the lounge next door first and sit there and wait for me." Cui Zhongshi then called someone to come and take He Yuzhu to the lounge next door to sit down and wait.

After He Yuzhu left Cui Zhongshi's office, Cui Zhongshi immediately locked the door of his office. He opened the suitcase He Yuzhu brought and counted it to make sure it was 8500 million. Cui Zhongshi sat on the chair and lit a cigarette, thinking about what the person wrote in the letter. The other party knew that he knew Fang Mengao and could come up with such a large sum of money. It seemed that he was very powerful, but he didn't come in person and asked a child to deliver it, which meant that he didn't want others to know who he was. Although he didn't know who the other party was, considering that the 200 boxes of penicillin in the other party's hand were urgently needed by the rear, combined with the fact that the other party dared to let a child deliver such a large sum of money, Cui Zhongshi speculated that the other party would not be a liar. 200 boxes of penicillin can be sold for at least 1000 dollars per box on the black market, but the other party only wants 500 dollars per box, which means that the source of the penicillin is problematic and they are eager to get rid of it. After Cui Zhongshi came to Peiping, he took responsibility for Fang Buting, the president of the Peiping branch of the Central Bank, and laundered money for the private property of various departments of the Kuomintang. He handled countless amounts of money. 10 dollars was easy for him to handle, and the 8500 million French francs exchanged for US dollars was even a small matter. Don't forget that he can be the director of the treasury of the Peiping branch of the Central Bank.

After a series of thoughts in his mind, Cui Zhongshi decided to do as the other party asked. So Cui Zhongshi carried the suitcase out of the office and went to the vault to arrange for someone to count the 8500 million French francs in the suitcase. If there was no problem after the count, all of them would be exchanged for French francs. At the same time, he arranged for someone to take out 10 French francs.

After He Yuzhu sat in the lounge and waited for about half an hour, Cui Zhongshi pushed open the door and walked in with a suitcase. Cui Zhongshi handed the suitcase to He Yuzhu and said, "This is what the person who asked you to deliver the things wanted. Take it back to that gentleman."

He Yuzhu took the suitcase and said, "Okay, Director Cui, I'll be leaving first. By the way, Director Cui, that person said that after you give me the suitcase, he asked me to ask you for a phone number so that he can make arrangements and notify you where the things are. He also said that you can start looking for people to receive the goods now."

After listening to He Yuzhu, Cui Zhongshi turned and walked into his office. When he came out, he handed He Yuzhu a piece of paper and said, "Number 10 on it is my office phone number."

He Yuzhu took the paper with the phone number written on it from Cui Zhongshi, put it in his pocket, then walked out of the lounge with his suitcase, went downstairs and headed towards the door.

"Uncle, you must be waiting impatiently. I'm sorry, something has delayed me. Let's go back to where I came from." After He Yuzhu finished speaking, he got on the rickshaw, and the rickshaw started running with He Yuzhu. Cui Zhongshi stood by the window on the third floor and watched He Yuzhu get on the rickshaw and leave. He did not arrange anyone to follow He Yuzhu. Since the other party dared to let a child run away with such a large sum of money, it meant that the other party must have arranged someone to watch him. If he rashly sent someone to follow, something might go wrong. Cui Zhongshi watched the rickshaw that He Yuzhu was riding disappear around the corner. He thought for a moment, picked up the phone and dialed a number, "Boss Huang, I have a batch of medicine here. Are you interested in taking it? If you are interested, please come to the Heji Tea House near our unit for a face-to-face meeting."

He Yuzhu took the rickshaw back to the place where he got on the bus. He Yuzhu took out 2000 yuan from his pocket and handed it to the rickshaw driver. "Uncle, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. This extra money is for your time." The rickshaw driver took the money and said thank you. He Yuzhu turned his head and looked around. When he found that no one was following him, he walked into the alley and bought a lock at the grocery store on the way.

He Yuzhu returned to the shabby yard where he started out. He Yuzhu used wire to open the lock on the door and walked into the house. He Yuzhu looked around the house, which was covered with dust. He Yuzhu closed the door, and with a thought, he carried the suitcase and entered the blessed land.

After He Yuzhu entered the blessed land, he opened the suitcase, took out the sword music inside, and put it on the ground to count. He Yuzhu counted 23 bundles, of which 22 bundles were 1 yuan, and 1 bundle was 5000 yuan. After deducting the payment of 200 yuan for the 10 boxes of penicillin, that is to say, 8500 million yuan of French currency was exchanged for 12 yuan of sword music. I remember that in the history book of the previous life, when the French currency was first issued, 5 yuan of French currency could be exchanged for 100 yuan of sword music. Now 30 yuan of French currency can be exchanged for 680 sword music, which is almost 1 times depreciated.

He Yuzhu put the money back into the suitcase, carried the suitcase back to Wuji Hall, took out the Dao Le from the suitcase and put it back into his own box that contained Dao Le. After putting the money away, He Yuzhu found the broken broom and shovel in his Fudi Dongtian and left Fudi Dongtian. He Yuzhu opened the door first, and then began to clean the living room. The floor in the room was full of dust. If he didn't clean it, He Yuzhu would leave footprints on the floor when he put penicillin, and there were only his footprints. If someone noticed it, it would be troublesome. After He Yuzhu cleaned the floor, he immediately returned to Fudi Dongtian to move penicillin. 200 boxes of penicillin were neatly stacked on 5 wooden pallets. He Yuzhu only used 5 times to move 200 boxes of penicillin out of Fudi Dongtian.

After He Yuzhu put away the 200 boxes of penicillin, he left the room, locked the door with the new lock he had bought, hid the key under the jujube tree in the yard, and then pressed it with a brick. Then He Yuzhu walked to the street, found a telephone booth, and exchanged some phone coins with someone next to the booth. He Yuzhu took the phone coins into the booth, put the phone coins into the phone, and then found Cui Zhongshi's phone number in his pocket and called the number on it. As a result, when the call was connected, a woman's voice came from the inside. He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment. Just when He Yuzhu was stunned, the woman on the phone said, "Where do you want to transfer to?"

He Yuzhu then remembered that in this era, people needed a switchboard to make calls, not the automatic switching of later generations. "Please help me connect to Cui Zhongshi's office at the Beijing Branch of the Central Bank." He Yuzhu waited for a while, and finally Cui Zhongshi's voice came from the phone: "I am Cui Zhongshi, who are you?"

"Hello, Mr. Cui. Someone asked me to tell you that the thing you want is in the yard of No. 27 Shaojiu Hutong. The key is under the jujube tree. He asks you to arrange someone to pick it up in time." He Yuzhu said in a low voice and hung up the phone immediately. After paying the phone bill, He Yuzhu walked out of the restaurant and went to the vegetable market where he lived.

When He Yuzhu arrived at the vegetable market, he found the market manager and said that he wanted to see the boss of the market, Mr. Huang, for something. The manager glanced at He Yuzhu and asked him to follow him. He took He Yuzhu to a house and asked him to wait in front of the door. He wanted to go in first to report to his boss.

"Boss, this kid said he wants to talk to you about something."

"Then bring him in."

He Yuzhu followed the man into the house and saw a man lying on the kang. The man was smoking opium, with his head resting on a woman's legs, and the woman was pressing his body.

"Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Master Huang, my master fell ill some time ago, and the doctor said he needed fresh bamboo roots as a medicine guide. I heard that Master Huang has great powers and can get all kinds of rare things, so I came to find you."

"I thought it was a big deal, but the thing you heard about can't be found in Peking City. It can only be found in the south. Now that you have found me, Master Huang, this is not a problem for me. A Biao, take this little brother with you to find Dashan." After saying that, Master Huang started smoking again.

A Biao took He Yuzhu out of the house and walked into the next room. "Brother Shan, this kid wants to buy some things from the south. Master Huang asked me to bring him to you."

The man named Dashan asked He Yuzhu what he wanted to buy. He Yuzhu said he wanted to buy some fresh bamboo roots. Dashan wrote down He Yuzhu's request and asked the quantity he wanted. He Yuzhu said he wanted 20 one-foot long bamboo roots. After listening to him and calculating, Dashan told He Yuzhu that it would cost 3 yuan in total. He Yuzhu took out 3 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Dashan. Dashan took the money and wrote a piece of paper, handed it to He Yuzhu and told him to keep the paper and told him that he could come to pick up the goods with the paper in 7 days. He Yuzhu took the paper and saw that it said 20 fresh one-foot long bamboo roots. He Yuzhu folded the paper and put it in his pocket.

"Master Shan, if I want to buy some live game, can you get it for me?"

"You tell me what kind of game you want, whether it's flying in the sky or swimming in the sea, as long as you pay, Master Huang has it all."

"I want to buy a box of bees later. I wonder if I can get roe deer, sika deer, gazelles, and bamboo rats this season."

"Bees, that's easy. You can get them in a few days if you want to buy them. As for the things you mentioned, although they are not easy to get, they can still be obtained. I'll tell you when you want them."

After He Yuzhu bought what he wanted and learned that there were channels to get what he wanted, he left the vegetable market and returned to Shang Zhirong's home to continue learning Xingyiquan with his master.
