After eating a big meal, the three ghosts Yan Chengxu filled a bowl of chicken soup. The four of them stopped drinking, watched Zhu Yunwen eat, and said in his heart that this son, who was also a big family, had never been hungry. I can't tell how long I've been hungry this time!

Zhu Yunwen was already full after drinking a bowl of chicken soup, so he wiped his hands and poured a bowl for each of the four ghosts of Yanshan.

"A few brothers, the younger brother toasts a few people with tea instead of wine!"

"Okay, done!"

"Good brother, it's a pleasure,!"

The four of them drank it all, Zhu Yunwen also took a sip of tea, hugged a fist and continued: "The younger brother's family has a big disaster, and my brother almost died, thanks to several brothers taking care of him. The grace of saving lives is unforgettable, if the brothers don't dislike it, my two brothers will stay here for you to send in the future!"

Yan Daan hugged his fists and replied: "Good brother! Since we met, it was fate, as the saying goes, friends in adversity see true feelings, and I and the two of you are also friends in adversity, and we are very polite." In the future, this Sanhe Village will be your home!"

The second ghost also said: "That's it, we are brothers from top to bottom in Sanhe Village, what can we call or not." Brother Fengshan, our right to speak is sick!"

Zhu Yunwen's mood was high and he was deeply infected: "The little brother knows that the people in the rivers and lakes are all really good-natured men. But our enemy is too strong, and I'm afraid of causing trouble for the village!"

"It's very troublesome, not to mention a mere benevolent gang, even if the people in the whole rivers and lakes are enemies of you, we are not afraid of Sanhe Village!"

Yan Da'an drank a little high, his tongue was a little big, and he said some big things. But it's *!

Full of wine and food, the four ghosts of Yanshan helped each other back to their rooms to sleep. Zhu Yunwen returned to the wing, and An Fenghai happened to have taken the medicine and was already asleep. Zhu Yunwen was inconvenient to disturb, so he left the wing room and walked around the village.

Sanhezhai is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the mountains are full of fruit trees, hawthorns, persimmons, and ......! Almost all the nearby mountain people make a living by shepherding sheep, but there are not many people who farm the land.

Although the surrounding mountains may look desolate, there is a sense of relaxation and joy in the place. In addition to autumn, the grass is yellow, and the world is bleak, which just sets off Zhu Yunwen's state of mind. But at this time, he has a sense of relief for the rest of his life, feeling that his short life seems to be like the mountains that have gone through the sea, ups and downs, autumn goes to winter, and spring is in a blink of an eye!

After noon, the strong men of the stockade began to move stones again. Some of them were pushed by carts from the nearby mountains, while others were piled up and sorted.

The carts were made of two-wheeled wood and could not carry many stones, so although the work was carried by strong men, it was not very efficient.

Zhu Yunwen didn't want to be the one who waited for dinner, so he helped everyone move stones one by one. Seeing that he was single and weak, the bald bull proposed: "Childe, I don't think you are doing hard work, you better go to the room with Shanzi to help!"

Widow Lin had to cook for thirty people by herself, so she was naturally tired of coping with it, and basically started to make lunch. Therefore, the well-established Shanzi helped in the room.

Zhu Yunwen is self-aware, and he went to the room to help, Shanzi was chopping firewood, Zhu Yunwen helped him tidy, and after chopping firewood, he helped Widow Lin pick vegetables and wash rice. Shanzi has good knife skills, so he is responsible for cutting vegetables. Widow Lin made bread and steamed rice to watch the fire.

The house is actually a big shed, the four walls are also made of stone slabs, there are two small windows at the top of each wall, the long one, there are two big chimneys erected behind the house, but they are made of green bricks.

The houses where you stay have a three-foot-high stone platform, but the rooms don't, but it's as tall as the other houses, and when you enter the rooms, you obviously feel that the roof is higher than the other houses. The same is a roof made of rolling wood and thatch.

Except for the thatched toilet, which looks a little lower, the other houses are basically generally high, and even the warehouse next to the house is also high.

Two stoves were set up in the room, one for steaming rice and the other for stewing big pot dishes. There are also two charcoal stoves, which are mainly used for stewing soups and pancakes, and of course you can also open small stoves.

On a normal day, the four ghosts and the minions eat the same thing, and only the guests who come open a small stove. Of course, the bandit den doesn't have many guests!

Widow Lin paid attention to Zhu Yunwen while facing each other, seeing that he really didn't look like a master who could work, so she said to him: "Little boy, I think you are a learned person, you should go to the account room to help Lao Zhang settle the accounts." Lao Zhang is old, and he is always a little confused, and his recent accounts have been bad several times!"

"Sister-in-law, is this appropriate!"

Before Widow Lin answered, Shanzi said: "What's wrong with this, what kind of work does someone do, you are obviously a learned person, but you come to do this hard work, isn't that nonsense." Besides, my father didn't want to do this job for a long time, but there was no one to replace him, how could there be so many learned people in the poor ravine! Go, I'll take you there!"

Shanzi pulled Zhu Yunwen and ran to the account room.

"Brother Shanzi, since your father is knowledgeable, why don't you learn from him. I don't think you're very strong. ”

This went down the mountain to be proud: "Who said I didn't learn, our Sanhe Village belongs to me in addition to my father." Usually I go to buy everything with my third son. The third son only knows a few words, and his knowledge is far worse than mine!"

As he spoke, he went to the bookkeeper. The last room in the west of the main house is the account room, and there are eight rooms to the east, among which is the main hall, and on both sides are the four rooms of the housekeeper, and the widow Lin is a woman has a main room. As for the minions, they lived on the big kang in the east wing, and a row of big kang just slept more than 30 people. As for the room where Zhu Yunwen and An Bonghai stayed, it was a single room separated from the east wing!

"Daddy!"

Shanzi pushed the door and shouted, Shanzi's father was sitting at the table to settle the accounts, the ledger was far away from his eyes, and it seemed that his eyes were not good.

"You poor seed, you can't be steady!"

No need to ask, it must have been another shock!

Zhu Yunwen doesn't understand the northern dialect and doesn't know what this sentence means.

"Dad, I've got you a successor!"

Only then did the old man look up.

"Hey, it's a living person. Where did it come from?"

"I don't know, it looks like it's coming from afar. The boss rescued it, and Sister-in-law Lin said that this person is knowledgeable, and I think it is similar. ”

Can a person be seen from his appearance if he is uneducated? After all, a person who reads poetry and books is different from the old man in temperament.

"Come here, young man, and settle these accounts first. I'll see if it's okay, if it does, this place will be yours in the future!"

Father Shanzi stood up, although his eyes were not very good, his body was very neat, his waist was not bent or hunched, and he walked very steadily, and he looked like a practitioner. I don't know why this strong body gave birth to such a weak son as Shanzi.

Zhu Yunwen made a scholarly ceremony, which is actually similar to a fist hug between the rivers and lakes. The four fingers of both hands are folded, the thumbs are interlocked up and down, and the body is slightly bowed.

Shan Zi's father saw that this driving was a literati, and although he was old, he still officially returned a salute.

Zhu Yunwen sat down at the table and looked at the account book first.

The ledger records income and expenditure. The income is basically the tribute of the major wealthy merchants, and there are very few robbers, and there are only one or two after turning several pages. The expenditure is basically the daily livelihood of the village. To Zhu Yunwen's surprise, there was still money to help the poor in the expenditure.

The other ledger is about to record some miscellaneous things, just like a diary, and even the weather is marked, which is quite interesting. The first item is that there are two people from the village, which naturally refers to Zhu Yunwen and An Fenghai.

The third is the account of the slate, how many square and how many quintals are collected every day, and how many square meters are out, but there are more in and less out. The coal is basically self-sufficient, but it is also recorded, but it is all in, but it is not used.

There are also two maps in this ledger, one of which is the sphere of influence of Sanhezhai, how many villages, how many county offices, and how many officers and soldiers are clearly marked. The other is the geographical map of the entire Dafang Mountain, the vertical and horizontal mountains are even marked with heights, Sanhezhai is marked with a red circle, and other forces are drawn with a blue circle.

The carboniferous mines belong to their own houses and are marked with red triangles, while the other mines are marked with blue triangles, and the slate mines are circled with square brackets, and the same ones are their own red and other people's blue!

The last volume is a little thin, it is the roster of Sanhe Village, up to the four masters, down to the minions of each person's name are recorded on it.

Shan Zid's Xiaokai is really good. Except for the general ledger, the rest of the records are clear and clear, and basically at a glance. However, due to the fact that there are too many things recorded in the daily ledger and the modified underlined inserts, the page is a little crowded. Zhu Yunwen carefully checked the daily ledger and found that there were a lot of mistakes!

"Shanzi, is there an empty ledger?"

"Yes!"

Shanzi took out an empty ledger from the cabinet, and there were already a lot of old ledgers in the cabinet, which had obviously been accumulated over the years.

The cover of the ledger is a blue-satin cardboard, and the blank space is not signed. Zhu Yunwen signed according to the bibliography of the account book. Nothing more than the age and the name of the account.

After that, the transcription began.

But this account book has been recorded for more than half a year, and it is not possible to copy it in a moment and a half, and after copying two pages, Shan Zi's father looked at it,

"Little boy, your knowledge is much stronger than mine, and you know from the small characters on this rope that your pen skills are at least eighty percent of your age. Alright, this house will be yours from now on. It's time for me to retire and enjoy my old age!"

Being able to come in handy, Zhu Yunwen is also very happy.

When it was almost evening, An Fenghai woke up, and the four ghosts also woke up. An Fenghai got off the kang, and the three sons who were assigned to serve him immediately came over: "An Daxia, why did you come down." ”

"Oh, I'm going to go to the latrine. ”

"Oh, then I'll help you go!"

"No, no, I'll go by myself, it's okay!"
