The Cycle of Reincarnation in the Four-Courtyard House: A Journey Through the Heavens

Through tonight's interaction, Li Xiao could tell that He Daqing was at least a better person than those three old men. Although he had his own little schemes, he didn't have any bad intentions.

In the original drama, he abandoned his children and ran away to Baocheng with the widow, which was very likely due to being tricked by Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old woman.

At least for now, He Daqing is treating his wife and son quite well.

He Yushui, the daughter of the He family, was born in 1944. Legend has it that He Daqing's first wife died in childbirth while giving birth to their second child.

Now that Li Mingzhi has become his cousin, Li Xiao will definitely step in to protect her.

In this way, he changed the fate of the He family.

......

That night, everyone in the Li family was fast asleep, but Li Xiao disappeared directly into the bedroom on the west side of the main house.

He's going to have a meeting with his twenty men tonight to plan their next steps.

Li Xiao located Lu Yuan's position directly in the parking lot outside the Space Supermarket, and then disappeared again.

When he reappeared, he was already in a three-courtyard siheyuan (traditional courtyard house).

This courtyard is located in Beibingmasi Hutong, about 500 meters away from the courtyard at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang where Li Xiao lives.

There are a total of sixteen hutongs near Nanluoguxiang. In addition to Beibingmasi Hutong, Lu Yuan and his group also bought a two-courtyard siheyuan in Yu'er Hutong and Mao'er Hutong as places to adopt orphans in the future.

This three-courtyard house, located in Beibingmasi Hutong, is the largest courtyard in the Nanluoguxiang area, and Li Xiao used it as their main base.

In addition, Lu Yuan and his group also bought a shop on Zhengyangmen Street, which is only about 300 meters away from the Zhengyangmen Arrow Tower and is located on the east side of Zhengyangmen Street.

This shop has two floors, constructed of brick and stone, with a total area of ​​approximately 600 square meters.

Connected to this shop is a two-courtyard house, which is quite large, covering an area of ​​over 800 square meters.

In the backyard of this shop on Zhengyanglou Street, there are currently eight super soldiers living: four men and four women.

This famous commercial street, located on the central axis of Beijing, is home to many time-honored shops such as Ruifuxiang, Quanjude, Duyichu, Liubiju, Zhangyiyuan, Changchuntang, and Qinglinchun.

Although the street was not as bustling as it would be in later years due to the war, it was still the most lively commercial street at this time.

Lu Yuan bought a shop and planned to open a restaurant. Li Xiao had already thought of a name for it: "Zheng Yang Chun".

This name wasn't chosen randomly. "Zhengyang" is taken from the Zhengyang Gate of Qianmen, highlighting the region's roots, while the character "Chun" subtly conveys the warm feeling of delicious food and making guests feel at home.

Li Xiao even plans to turn this restaurant into a century-old brand!

Although there will be some setbacks in the later period, the restaurant will return to its original ownership after the reform and opening up.

Zhengyangchun Restaurant is currently undergoing renovations and is expected to reopen in about two weeks.

Next, Li Xiao assigned tasks to his twenty subordinates.

"Gu Ming, you and Zhang Meilan go to the Padmanabaswami Temple in Kerala, southwestern India. That temple has an underground treasure vault containing a large amount of gold, jewelry, and jade artifacts. Once you find the treasure, put it directly into my supermarket space."

"Yes, Chief!"

Li Xiao recalled the rumors about this temple from his previous life, then continued, "According to legend, there are six secret chambers underground in this temple. One of the chambers has a cobra totem carved on its door. I don't know if there are any dangers inside, so please be very careful when you open this chamber!"

"Understood, Chief, rest assured!"

Li Xiao continued, "After the mission is completed, you will travel to Borneo in South Asia."

"As far as I know, the Japanese army began landing on this third largest island in the world last year. There are currently at least 200,000 Chinese living on this island."

"Once you two arrive in Borneo, arm the Chinese on the island as quickly as possible and wipe out the Japanese devils there."

"You can get the initial weapons and equipment from the supermarket space."

"However, I still suggest that you set up your own military factories and pharmaceutical factories in Borneo as soon as possible. Our supermarket space has all kinds of advanced guns and ammunition, which you can produce in advance and strive to achieve self-sufficiency as soon as possible."

"According to my investigation, the island has gold, diamonds, antimony, magnesium, gypsum and iron ore. In addition, there are more than a dozen oil reserves on the continental shelf on the north coast of the island, and rich bauxite and coal mines in the southwest of the island."

"My request for you two is to use our own armed forces to conquer the entire continent of Borneo as soon as possible. Can you do that?"

A flicker of excitement crossed Gu Ming and Zhang Meilan's faces. They immediately straightened their backs and answered, "We will definitely complete the mission!"

"good!"

Currently, this resource-rich and vast island is divided into three parts by the Malay, Java, and Brunei kingdoms, making the situation extremely complex.

However, now that the Japanese have landed on the island, this has given Li Xiao a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

He could easily raise an army on the island at this moment and, under the pretext of fighting the Japanese, use an iron fist to take over the entire island.

Once he has an invincible army, this island will be his.

He then looked at Xu Mo and Du Hongmei, and suddenly a map of the Americas appeared in his hand.

"Xu Mo, Du Hongmei, come and see!"

Li Xiao pointed to a location in the sea near Hava, Cuba, and said, "You need to find a way to get here. Right below this sea, there is a 17th-century Spanish shipwreck called the Madame Atocha."

"According to the information I obtained from historical records, this shipwreck was loaded with a large amount of gold, jewelry, jade, and many antiques. Our supermarket has deep-sea diving equipment. After you find the shipwreck, you can directly store the valuables inside into the supermarket's storage space."

Xu Mo and Du Hongmei nodded excitedly.

"After you've finished this, head to New York City. Once you're on Wall Street, contact me directly!"

Xu Mo and his wife exchanged a glance, wondering what their leader was going to do.

Their absolute loyalty led them to ask no questions, and they simply nodded firmly.

Although it is only the end of 1942, according to some information Li Xiao learned in his previous life, many European countries have transferred their domestic gold reserves to the underground vaults of the Federal Reserve Bank in New York City for the safety of their funds due to the impact of World War II.

According to some confidential information, the world's largest gold vault, located 20 meters underground in Manhattan, currently stores at least 20,000 tons of gold, representing the peak of the United States' gold reserves.

After World War II ended a few years later, many countries began reconstruction work, so they took out a lot of gold from here as start-up capital. If you go too late, you will lose a lot of money.
