Outside Luxi County, Chenzhou Prefecture, Sun Xiaoer, dressed in shabby clothes, led a group of a dozen or so people to the manor of a landlord who had fled to the north with his family.

Of the dozen or so people in this team, two were officials of the People's Army, five were soldiers of the People's Army, and six were young men hired by the People's Army, all of whom carried agricultural tools that could be used to dig soil.

"My lord, right there, that night I went to the latrine, and unexpectedly found that the landlord and his henchmen buried a lot of boxes in the soil." Sun Xiaoer said as he walked.

Listening to Sun Xiaoer's words, an official replied: "Well, I know, as long as you find the wealth buried in the ground, you will definitely be credited." ”

Sun Xiaoer hesitated for a moment and said, "My lord, can you exchange the credit for the field, I don't want silver." ”

"This is not good, the land is limited, if you are given more land, then there will be no land to be distributed to others." The official replied without thinking.

Soon Sun Xiaoer and his entourage came to the place where the landlord might have buried his wealth, and the five People's Army soldiers were scattered around to check the terrain and guard against the enemy.

The two officials commanded six hired young men to start digging in the place Sun Xiaoer had identified.

"Be careful, stop if you feel like you're touching something like wood in the soil, there may be fragile porcelain buried in the ground." The official admonished.

Perhaps the location identified by Sun Xiaoer was very accurate, or it may be lucky, in less than two quarters of an hour, a young man dug a wooden box from the soil and really found the wealth buried by the landlord.

Although the box has not been dug out, and it is impossible to determine the contents of the box, but the joy on Sun Xiaoer's face can no longer be hidden, no matter how you think about it, it is impossible for the landlord to bury worthless things into the soil, the worst and the worst, Sun Xiaoer can also get ten taels of silver reward.

One after another boxes were dug out of the ground, and when they were opened, they were full of silver ingots, and finally a total of nine boxes were dug out of the soil, four boxes contained silver ingots, and the other five boxes contained antiques, jewelry, calligraphy and paintings and other valuables, and there were several glass mirrors in one box, two palm-sized ones, and a round mirror with a diameter of fifteen centimeters.

Sun Xiaoer looked at the mirror and liked it very much, but he felt that the mirror was very valuable and he didn't even dare to touch it.

"Like this thing?" The official pointed to the mirror and asked Sun Xiaoer.

"I like it."

The official smiled, and directly took out a palm-sized glass mirror in the box and handed it to Sun Xiaoer.

"Since you like it, then this mirror will be given to you."

"This, this is too precious." Sun Xiaoer's voice trembled a little, and he didn't understand why this adult gave him such a precious thing.

"Haha" Looking at Sun Xiaoer's appearance, the official laughed a few times and said: "This thing is called a mirror, in Guangdong, this mirror in your hand can be bought for only a penny of silver, it is still brand new and no one has used it, this mirror in your hand has passed your hand, and then you take it out and sell it, it can only be sold for dozens of copper coins, which is not worth much." ”

Yes, this palm-sized glass mirror is not valuable, and the property will not be recorded at all when it is registered, and there is no problem with the official being the master to give it to Sun Xiaoer, if the value of the item is more than a penny of silver and is given away by the official at will, once it is found, he will be held accountable.

Sun Xiaoer said "thank you" again and again, carefully holding the mirror, as if it was the most precious treasure he had ever obtained in his life.

The six young men nearby were very envious when they saw this scene, they were just hired by the People's Army to contribute, if only they could get a clue that a wealthy gentleman and businessman were burying wealth in the field, and the family would not have to worry about eating and drinking in the future.

Looking at the wealth in the box, there were almost no evil thoughts in the minds of the six young people, the People's Army allocated land to their families, and with the land, the family would no longer worry about food, the People's Army had been so good to them, they were simply benefactors, and they would not attack their benefactors.

What's more, there are also KPA soldiers here, KPA soldiers are to guard against bandits and bandits, but also to guard against hired young people, how dare ordinary people attack KPA soldiers with farm tools.

At this time, there were only four KPA soldiers in the vicinity of the nine boxes containing wealth, and one KPA soldier had already rushed to the county seat to bring in a vehicle to transport back the nine boxes full of wealth.

Four KPA soldiers, two armed with broadswords, two armed with spears, in fact, two officials are also combat effectiveness, and the combat effectiveness is stronger, both officials are equipped with a short gun, the range is short, but it is enough for self-defense.

Compared to the long guns equipped by the People's Army, the short guns are faster to manufacture, and with the same number of people, the time it takes to make a long gun can make at least four short guns, and the most important thing is that the short barrel of the short gun is simpler to build.

While waiting for the car to arrive, the two officials were not idle, the two opened the wealth in the wooden box and tapped it slightly, and wrote in the document with a pencil, the specific value of the wealth had to wait for the return to the county seat, weigh the silver, and then find someone to identify antiques, calligraphy and paintings, jewelry, etc.

Sun Xiaoer was looking in the mirror on the side, it was the first time he could see his face so clearly, well, a little miserable.

Playing with the mirror, Sun Xiaoer thought about what it would be like to return home and give the mirror to the child, the People's Army rewarded him with at least ten taels of silver, as well as the land divided by the People's Army, and the family will not lack money or food in the future, and he can have a few more children, hoping that his children will be able to make a career in the future and glorify their ancestors.

……

In the face of the heavy rewards of the People's Army, no ordinary people can not be moved, even if they have not worked in the homes of the gentry merchants before, and do not know the clues of the gentry businessmen's buried wealth, they still want to try to get rewards.

In their free time, they picked up their farming tools and went to the vicinity of the estates of large families outside the city to look for problematic soil, and then dug pits for traces of wealth, and really let some lucky people find clues to attract more people to find wealth in the land.

It's just that the number of lucky people is too small and too few, and more people who work in the homes of wealthy gentry and businessmen tell the People's Army the clues, and the common people also know that this kind of thing can only rely on luck, and the farmland that has just arrived is the most important thing for them, and they will only go treasure hunting in their free time.

Of course, there are also people who want to keep the wealth for themselves and not tell the KPA the clues, and the KPA has no way to do this, and being able to find a buried wealth from the land is a big gain for the KPA, which is considered to be earned, and if it is not found, forget it.
