Everyone stands on the hillside and looks down, the small Zhuangzi inside and outside will be unobstructed, this small Zhuangzi is not very big, about more than 40 acres square, converted to about 40 acres or so, basically about 27,000 square meters, and it is only one-fifth of the size of the Wanlong Square in Fuzhou now, of course, the visual inspection is not necessarily accurate. The inside of the Zhuangzi seems to be divided into several small courtyards, and it is already almost noon, so only some children and old people can be seen in the Zhuangzi.
Zhou Mingrui pulled a few people to estimate those fields, some of the paddy fields on the edge of the water stream are about 30 acres, and the dry fields behind the village are more than 20 acres, if you estimate it just now, even including the mountains and forests before and after Zhuangzi, it is about 300 taels of silver at most.
"A very good place", Huang Shi saw that the terrain around this Zhuangzi is basically two mountains, a valley and a stream, like a person's stomach, as long as two higher walls are built in the two most narrow places in and out, then there is a lot of momentum when the husband is closed. At the same time, according to the observation of himself and others walking in, this place is still relatively closed, and there is basically no development on the road, so he can calmly dig stones in this valley, then plant, and then engage in processing with supplied materials, and he can also set up his own new rules first, and he is not worried about the danger of leaking secrets; After having that village, you can also make outsiders unable to enter, and your own people can't go out without greeting, so those children and children are not easy to be tempted by the outside world, and can be described by themselves like a blank piece of paper.
"Master, are we going into the Zhuangzi to see now", although the curtain is idle and already knows that the master of the road is going to excavate a kind of stone here, but because the appearance of the stone has not been seen, so I don't know what is special about the road.
"Well, then let's go down", Huang Shi and the others came down from the back of the village, detoured to the front door of the Zhuangzi, and saw that the wall of the Zhuangzi had been weathered very much, most of the original tall brick courtyard walls were only half the height left, and the masonry bucket arches under the eaves of the wall were long gone, only the wall foundation made of the round stream stone was still solid.
"Huh", Huangshi walked halfway but saw that there are a few stones in the wall base and the surrounding black ash stones are completely different, it turns out that after today's heavy rain washing, so that these stones that are usually full of flying dust are more or less exposed to the real body, these stones are like gold, yellow lovely, Huangshi touched with his hand, warm as jade, looking at the past has a slightly transparent feeling.
"Damn, this is really Tian Huangshi, how much is such a big piece worth", Huang Shi's heart was hot, a few days ago he went online to check the current price of Tian Huangshi, it seems that the price of Tian Huangshi varies greatly, its price is mainly assessed according to the quality, some are only 3,000 yuan, 5,000 yuan, and some can reach 200,000 yuan per gram. It is said that the main reason is that Tianhuang stone can only be produced in a field of less than one square kilometer in Shoushan, Fujian Province, China, and it is also a treasure in Shoushan stone, and the yield is extremely low, and after hundreds of years of continuous excavation, so far, it has basically been excavated.
Huangshi was feverishly imagining how to develop this Tianhuang stone, how to carve it, and how to auction it. On the one hand, these ancient Zhuang families really have eyes and don't know gold and jade, and they use such precious stones to build walls.
……
At this time, a few old men staggered out of the courtyard at the gate of the courtyard, and those children peeked out from time to time in the gaps, Zhou Mingrui stepped forward and arched his hand, "A few old people, the two old men under this come here to play, a little thirsty, can you ask for some water to drink?"
A few old people had heard that some people were still a little afraid of coming, but now that they saw these people with kind faces and polite words, several people looked at each other a few times, and one of the oldest said, "A few old men, please", and they slowly dispersed after speaking.
Everyone followed the old man into Zhuangzi slowly, and found that the houses in Zhuangzi were all mud walls and wooden houses, dark and low, and the main hall of Zhuangzi was just a big house without a door, with a large square table in the middle, a row of benches on both sides, not even an official hat chair, and the shrine on the front wall placed the tablets of the ancestors.
"Old five, you go and call your mother-in-law, first boil some tea to quench the thirst of a few masters", the leading old man commanded, and another old man responded, "Ladies and gentlemen, please sit", and after saying that, they all sat down on the bench on the left.
It turned out that Zhou Mingrui and the others still wanted to stand, but the main hall was small, and behind the bench was the wall, and it was too abrupt to stand, so Huangshi asked them all to sit down together, arching his hand and saying, "Old man, bother."
"Two big lords, the mountain dwelling is really simple, and we are waiting for the hospitality to be inconsiderate, please don't mind", the old people laughed.
"Old man, I was playing in this neighborhood with a few friends, but I was confused in the deep mountains, so I took the liberty of stumbling into your place, where is this? Please guide", and Mu Dexian also joined the conversation.
The leading old man touched his beard and said, "This is Houguan Shoushan, and our small place is called Daegu Village, where did the two old men come from?"
Mu Dexian replied, "The inferior people came from Zhangcheng County and were about to go to Fucheng, and when they saw the beautiful scenery, they couldn't help but wander across this mountain for a long time, but they got lost."
"Hey, Nafu City is more than 30 miles away from here, but it is far away, you have to go south from this valley, and then cross 2 mountains, there is an official road there, you can go to Fucheng."
"Thank you for the guidance of the elderly, the inferior people have not brought dry food, I want to disturb the elderly, borrow a meal in your place, please be convenient."
The old man smiled and said, "Small things, I'm afraid that there will be slow guests for coarse tea and foreign rice, because we are located in barren mountains and mountains, residents rarely go out, and very few people come to our place, everyone comes, the old man and others are very welcome."
"Thank you for making it easy for the elderly." Huang Shi and others expressed their heartfelt gratitude.
Everyone continued to talk for a while, and learned that there are 7 or 8 families in this Daegu village, and the old man's name is Qingyuan, who is the patriarch of this village, and has been added as the chief, and the ancestors have moved here because of the previous dynasty's rebellion, and it has been more than 200 years.
