In the history of the Southern Song Dynasty, the famous anti-Jin general Yue Fei is well-known, everyone knows, he is also known as the embodiment of loyalty, but a generation of loyal subjects, but not at the right time, was killed by traitors, but few people know that in the Southern Song Dynasty, there was also a "Han Family Army" and "Zhang Family Army", Zhang Jun and Han Shizhong, and Yue Fei were collectively called the three generals.
Zhang Jun was the longest-lived of the three generals, who died in the twenty-fourth year of Shaoxing (1154), posthumously honored as King Xun, with the title of "Zhonglie", but this person's personality was very different from Yue Fei, although he was a famous general, he helped Qin Ju to create perjury, so that Yue Fei was unjustly imprisoned.
Moreover, this man was also greedy and wealthy, and occupied a huge amount of land, with a total of more than one million acres of fertile land, and collected more than 600,000 stones of rice per year, and Zhang Jun earned 730 million yuan a year by collecting rent.
Zhang Jun's family is rich, naturally afraid of thieves, afraid of thieves, Afraid of thieves, Zhang Jun is worried, looking at the silver piled up in the family, always think of a way to prevent theft, left thinking right, Zhang Jun thinks that the silver is the most reliable to melt into a thousand pounds of balls, this matter is recorded in the "Yi Jianzhi".
Zhang Jun asked people to melt all the silver piled up in the house and melted into a large silver ball of fifty kilograms, Zhang Jun was very proud, thinking that only he could come up with such a wonderful method under the sky, and Zhang Jun also placed the big silver ball directly in the courtyard, also to show off to the thief.
Soon after the big silver ball melted, there was indeed a thief coming to the door, the night was dark and the wind was high, a thief quietly entered Zhang Jun's courtyard, he used brute force to move the silver ball, and the silver ball was not moving, and in the dark, Zhang Jun was in front of the window staring at the thief's every move.
This is in Zhang Jun's expectation, he also did not go to catch the thief, just look at the thief in the courtyard, the heart is proud, Zhang Jun thinks that under the sky is only he can make the thief so embarrassed, and then the thief saw that he could not move the silver ball, and sneaked away, Zhang Jun was also ready to go back to bed and sleep, a good night's sleep.
But the next day, Zhang Jun was stunned, found that he had been calculated, his home was actually emptied, it turned out that last night when Zhang Jun was watching the thief move the silver ball, another thief was chiseling the wall of his house, and then came in with a big swing, sweeping away the valuable things such as rare treasures that Zhang Jun had treasured for many years.
Because Zhang Jun looked intently, he did not notice the movement in the home, and when he woke up the next morning, he learned that at this time, Zhang Jun's family was only valuable to the big silver ball, and later this matter also spread among the people, and the people praised it one after another, and had to say that "the wicked have their own wicked grinding."
