In the underground of Luoyang City in Song Dynasty, there were many gold and silver treasures buried by predecessors. Therefore, in the real estate transaction in the Song Dynasty, if there is no excavation under the house, the buyer will pay the extra excavation fee as usual.
Prime Minister Zhang Zuo spent millions to buy a mansion in Luoyang City. Originally, it was agreed, but the owner suddenly proposed to pay a high excavation fee, which was increased many times. Only when the excavation fee is raised to more than one million will he be willing to make a move.
Zhang Guan was bent on getting it, so he paid the money without bargaining. Many people think that Zhang Guan has lost a lot.
When the house was renovated, a stone box was dug out of the ground. It's small, but very delicate and beautiful. It is engraved with various flower and bird patterns, and there are more than 20 seal characters on the box cover. Calligraphy is so strange that no one can recognize it. Judging from the words and pictures, it is by no means a recent thing.
When I opened the stone box, I found hundreds of taels of gold in it. After the gold was sold, the Zhang family's money was exactly the full amount spent on buying a house, including the extra excavation fee, exactly the same.
It seems that luck has been decided, and the loss of the world is compensated by heaven! It is one thing to lose money without losing money.
Selfishness will hurt yourself.
In the Song Dynasty, when Li was in power, he once went to Korea, and korean king gave him many valuable gifts. Shi Li was very determined. He gave these things to the adjutant of the accompanying military commander for safekeeping.
Because the bottom of the boat cracked and leaked in some places, the adjutant was worried that his things would be soaked by water, so he put Li's silk and other gifts on the bottom of the boat and his own things on it.
When the ship sailed into the sea, it was caught in a big storm and almost capsized. The boatman was frightened and asked to throw all the things on board into the sea to reduce the weight.
In a panic, the adjutant threw the thing into the sea without hesitation, and it was too late to tell whose it was. Halfway through, the wind stopped and the ship stabilized. When he counted again, the adjutant found that all his things had been thrown away by himself, and there was no shortage of Li at the bottom of the boat.
Selfishness will kill you. Although man has a small plan, God has a long-term vision.
Return the lost property if it is predestined.
During the reign of Song Jianyan, Zhao Gou, Song Gaozong was lucky enough to be close to Ningbo, Zhejiang. When the Jin people invaded, they got on the boat and ran away. In his hurry, he accidentally dropped a folding fan into the river. The royal fan wore a pendant with the image of a jade baby.
After more than ten years in Hangzhou, Zhao Gou suddenly saw this fan in the hands of Zhang Jun, the king of Qinghe County, at a banquet. Take a closer look, it turned out to be his folding fan that fell into the water on the Ningbo River many years ago! There is a jade boy's fan pendant on it!
Zhao Gou asked the origin of this fan, and Zhang Jun replied, "I bought it in a shop in Qinghefang."
Send someone to the store to ask, the shopkeeper said, "I bought it from a delivery man with a basket."
When I found the man carrying the basket, the man said, "Chef Chen outside Hou Chao's door sold it to me."
Finally, I found the chef. The cook said, "I bought a 10 Jin yellow croaker and found it when I broke the belly of the fish."
When Zhao Gou heard these words, he was very happy and thought it was a good sign for the return of the lost property. Immediately, it was decreed that both the shopkeeper and the basket bearer should be captains, and the cook should be a Confucian. Generally, the wife of an official with seven tastes can be called a Confucian.
Alas! For Zhao Gou, the lost half of the country, if you don't fight, is still someone else's world.
And a lost folding fan can be tossed back by a yellow croaker for more than ten years because it is predestined friends with him.
