introduction
"The wood of the hug is born at the end of the millimeter; the platform of the nine layers, from the tired soil", no matter what you do, you must be down-to-earth, relying on small clever opportunism may allow people to taste the sweetness of the moment, but if you want to obtain real and long-term benefits, you can only take the right path and rely on your own efforts to obtain wealth.
The ancients believed that the buried objects could be brought to the world after death to continue to enjoy, so a large number of rich and valuable treasures were sent to the tomb of the owner of the tomb. China has a long history, there have been many ancient tombs for a long time, China's archaeologists have always been the protection and research of ancient tombs, but tomb robbers for ancient tombs, but greedily want to take them for themselves, so the rich burial goods in large tombs have become the object of their coveting.
Every dynasty and every generation has a tomb robber, but there is such a tomb robber, which can be said to be extremely professional. He worked hard to rob the tomb, and spent twenty years on the matter of robbing the tomb, in order to hide the eyes and ears of the people, he even built a house on the ancient tomb, and spent a lot of time and energy to find the tomb.
Among the many grave robbers in history, Jahu was only an insignificant thief, and perhaps no one had heard of his name before. According to the "Tomb of the First Thief", Jia Hu was a tomb robber in the Yuan Dynasty, he never stole any tombs in his life, but his name was recorded.
Jahu is idle and does the most every day not to work and earn money, but to fantasize about being able to suddenly make a fortune. But he was lazy, and he was tired of ordinary work, so he hit the idea on the left side of the door, and the fastest way he chose to get rich was to rob the tomb.
At that time, Jia Hu lived in Pengcheng, and Pengcheng had many famous historical figures, such as Xiang Yu, Liu Bang, etc., whose tombs were in Pengcheng, which made Jia Hu have an idea, and he planned to steal a large tomb. He learned from others that Fan Zeng, the sub-father of Xiang Yu, the king of Western Chu, might be buried in Yunlong Mountain, so he set the target of the tomb robbery as Fan Zeng's tomb.
Jia Hu came to Yunlong Mountain alone, and after finding his location, he began his own tomb robbery work. He only had one person, and the speed was naturally very slow, because he felt that one more person would have to share one more treasure out, one person was digging, two people were also digging, it was better to find the tomb alone and swallow the treasure alone, but it took a longer time. So Jahu began a long excavation, but at this time he did not expect that he had dug for a full twenty years.
Tomb robbery sounds simple, but it is just to dig a grave, but when Jahu really operates it, he finds out how difficult it is, not to mention that he does not know what year and month to dig, just by encountering a large stone that hinders him, Jahu has to work hard to deal with it by himself. However, Jia Hu was a very dedicated person, and although it was difficult to rob the tomb, he did not give up.
There are many boulders around the tomb to protect them, and those who want to enter the burial chamber can only dispose of these boulders. Many huge stones alone had to be handled by Jahu for a long time, so he simply built a house on the tomb and slowly disposed of the boulders in the tomb while living his own small life. In this way, dealing with a little bit every day, Jia Hu spent twenty years to finally clear the obstacles and find the treasure in the tomb.
When he saw the treasures in the tomb, the numerous treasures appeased Jahu's years of hard work, and his twenty years were not in vain. He couldn't wait to loot the treasure, and just when he thought he could finally live the rich life he had fantasized about when he was young, he didn't know that after the mantis catches the cicada and the yellow bird, the people of the government have long targeted him and quickly arrested him for the crime of robbing the tomb. Jahu's life as a rich man ended in prison before it even began.
Years later, it was confirmed that the tomb that Jahu had stolen was not actually Fan Zeng's tomb, but someone else's mausoleum. At this time, not only did he eat prison food, but the tomb that he had spent a lot of time and energy stealing was not Fan Zeng's tomb, and he did not know how Jia Huzuo felt.
epilogue
In fact, twenty years of time, enough time for Jahu to learn a craft to make a fortune, he is idle, in order to rob the tomb spent twenty years, it is a waste of time, it is better to learn the craft, at least, in the end, will not end up in prison disaster. Therefore, if you want to make a fortune, only down-to-earth is the right way, and opportunism may be able to gain benefits for a while, but in the long run, there is no merit at all.
