Great Wei Nengchen

The money bank is located at No. [-] Tianzi, Dongshi Street. It was originally an official yamen in Fangshi. After a facelift, it became a money bank and was placed under the direct control of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Not only is the administrative level superior, but the decoration is also outstanding. !

The vermilion lacquer gate measuring one foot and eight feet in the middle is tall and grand, with bluestone bases on both sides and mahogany pillars, engraved with taotie patterns to show the meaning of accepting all directions. The implication is that the lobby is bright and newly decorated. Twelve small officials in green clothes are sitting in it, holding pens and inks, waiting for the 'God of Wealth' to come to the door!

On both sides of the gate of the money bank, there is also a couplet hanging, which is said to be written by the fourth son of the Cao family:

Upper couplet: Mountains of gold and silver will eventually be eaten up. If it is for a long time, think twice?

The second line: Prosperity and wealth are all in the palm of your hand, how many rounds can life have!

Hengpi - give it a go!

The money bank was built, and the couplets were hung up, but the whole day passed, and there were many onlookers, but none of them dared to go in. For one thing, they had no confidence in the newly established government office. The Dahan founded the country for more than 400 years, and never heard of it. If the imperial court borrows money from private individuals, it is easy to borrow money, but it may be difficult to return it!

Second, the money is for the army’s expedition to the west. Expeditions to foreign lands are inherently risky things. Putting money at home is safer, it will not increase or decrease!

One day, two days, three days..., there were people coming and going outside the money bank, there was a lot of discussion, but no one made a bet, and a dozen small officials in green clothes also slack off, looking at the account book with a sad face, there is nothing on it. ... Well, eyes are black and gold is yellow. Who would borrow their own money? Is there such a fool?

The answer is yes, and it is an oversized one. On the afternoon of the third day the money bank opened, Xiao Yi brought hundreds of soldiers and escorted dozens of carts of treasures, and went straight to the money bank in a mighty way. The boxes were all opened, filled with gold, silver, pearls, precious stones, coral, ivory, rhino horn... They were all treasures worth thousands of gold, and they were also spoils that Xiao Yi had scavenged in the past few years. , also invincible in the world!

For the Western Expedition, Xiao Yi is full of confidence. Not only will he expand the territory of the country, but he will also take the opportunity to earn a fortune. If he doesn't multiply his family's wealth by more than ten times, he will be sorry for the hard work. Besides, the women in the family More and more, wives have to support, girls have to marry, how can we do it without money?

Why did the money arrive on the third day? Xiao Yi also had some unavoidable difficulties. Heard that all the family wealth was going to be used for the army's western expedition. Don't let go, I really don't know if they are reluctant to part with people or money!

In desperation, Xiao Yi had no choice but to make a compromise, and spent a day to appease a few women. He was a famous general who was victorious in all battles. There was absolutely no problem in this Western Expedition. Hei, don't be afraid of anything!

Then he opened the treasury and let the women in the family choose first, gold, silver, jewelry, gems and agate, as long as they like it, they can take it away, and the rest will be sent to the treasury to be used as military pay!

Beautiful women are all beautiful snakes. Once they have jewels, they stop crying immediately. They rush into the treasury of the Marquis Mansion one by one and start to search with all their strength. Gold bricks, silver ingots, cat's eyes, pearls, gemstones, red corals... what precious things? What, like ants moving to their own small building!

It also made Xiao Yi see the potential of women. A little girl like Lu Linger has become a strong man. A gold brick weighing twenty catties can weigh four yuan at a time. Hong, her body doesn't lack calcium, and she doesn't feel tired after moving for a whole day. The treasury of the Hou Mansion is [-]% empty by them. Xiao Yi is stunned to see it. They still don't want to part with the money!

Xiao Yi's arrival was warmly welcomed, and the large amount of money made people's eyes go red. The officials in Tsing Yi immediately took action, moved the treasure, estimated the value, and finally sent it to the treasury, sold it into coins and used it as military pay!

"A high-quality coral tree, more than four feet high, bright red in color, evenly branched, worth [-] yuan!"

"A bucket of South Sea pearls, smooth and round, as big as a pigeon's egg, worth 30 yuan!"

"Twenty pairs of white jade walls, flawless, smooth as suet, worth 30 yuan!"

....................................

Every time a piece of treasure was moved in, the petty officials would sing loudly, quickly estimate the value, and record it in the account book. It took a whole half a day, and the final calculation was made. The treasure in Wushouhoufu was worth more than 800 million yuan, which is really a huge funded!

Xiao Yi divided this money into two parts, [-]% to [-]%, [-]% to himself, and [-]% to Guo Jia. Praise for his wife!

When the baby was put into the warehouse, Xiao Yi got two documents, which stated the amount of money and how much bonus he would receive after the army triumphed. There were also the big red seals of Cao Cao and Xun Yu at the bottom. It depends on your means, the more you grab, the more points you get!

According to the regulations of the Han Dynasty, ornaments must be hung in front of the gate of Baiguan Yamen to suppress Fengshui and show the common people. Generally speaking, bows and arrows are hung in front of the arsenal door, and saddles are hung in front of the garage door. For gold ingots, Xiao Yi is a caring person, and he also sent a shiny golden...fat cat!

That's right, it's a fat cat, three feet in size, made of pure gold, with a big head, a thick neck, a round belly, short limbs, a humane smile on its face, and one of its front paws as a greeting It looks like, this is the treasure that Xiao Yi made overnight to suppress feng shui for the money bank - the beckoning cat!

"The kitten beckons, you don't have to worry about money!" Xiao Yi first boasted about the ability of a "lucky cat", and then let his personal soldiers hang high in the lobby, and finally warned the little officials who were stunned by the fool, "Be sure." Make incense in the morning and evening, worship devoutly, so that the wealth will be endless, and the world will be rich!"

The words of the governor, the petty officials did not dare to be negligent, and they really worshiped them devoutly. Other officials followed suit and worshiped a "lucky cat" in the yamen, praying for blessings. The position of the cat' is also rising again and again. It is known as the Tmall next to the Jade Emperor. Together with Bigan, the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth, and Xiao Yi, the God of Blood, they are also known as the four Gods of Wealth in the world. They are enshrined for generations. Absolutely!

Maybe the "lucky cat" really came true. In the next few days, a large amount of money was put into the treasury. Those who came to buy shares were Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Xiahou, Xiahouyuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Xiu...

All the important ministers of the Cao Ying Group almost broke their fortunes to support this shocking gamble, and even the Prime Minister's Mansion took action. Mrs. Ding came forward, collected all the money in the back house, put it all into the treasury, and gambled to support her son-in-law. Western Expedition Army!

In this way, in just seven or eight days, 8000 to [-] million money was gathered in the treasury, but compared with the military budget, it is still lacking a lot. Xun Yu calculated carefully, and if he wanted to support the army's westward expedition, he did not have [-] million. The above money is not enough to spend!

But civil and military officials are still hesitating. Although the war bonus is tempting, they don't want to take too much risk. For the sake of the prime minister's house, although they have invested a little money, they haven't used their old capital. I want them to support them with all their strength. , You have to use some tricks!

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………

In the palace, in Wushouyuan, Princess Haiyan holds a jade chip and is calculating how much money she has. As a princess of the Han Dynasty, her net worth is also very rich. In addition to receiving a large reward, she also has a piece of "Tang Muyi", which is In the most affluent Jingzhou area, there are tens of thousands of households, which were specially awarded to her by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. Although the princes fought melee, no one dared to touch the princess's territory. Taxes are sent to Xuchang, only a lot more!

"Could it be that Your Highness wants to join the Western Expedition Army, and I heard that it will cost tens of millions of money?" The maid Lingling was very clear about the master's mind, and helped to calculate together!

"The main purpose of the army's westward expedition is to protect our great man from all over the world. As a princess, how can I just sit idly by and ignore it? Besides, when the late emperor was here, he never forgot about Xiliang, which can be regarded as a little bit of my filial piety!"

Princess Haiyan's tone was flat, but there was one thing she didn't say, and that was that she had [-]% confidence in Xiao Yi. Although he was ruthless, cunning, and black-bellied, when it came to commanding troops to fight, he was invincible. Comparable to the fairy of the military strategist-Han Xin!

"Since that's the case, let's make a trip for the master!" The princess can't place the bet in person, so Lingling naturally has to do it for her. By the way, she also put some of her private money on it. She also has confidence in Xiao Yi!

652. Chapter 652 Coins are void

The way of fate is the most mysterious. Some people are born rich and have first-class reincarnation skills, such as the little emperor Liu Xie. There is a kind of person who has no great ability, but under the protection of the strong, he can live in peace for a lifetime, such as Song Zhong!

Song Zhongben was an ordinary school lieutenant in Huainan, and met Xiao Yi by chance. After Yuan Shu's death, he rushed to Xuzhou with the "Jade Seal of Chuanguo" in his arms. The butler of Wushouhou's Mansion is also quite famous!

Song Zhong is very satisfied with his current status. He said that the prime minister is a seventh-rank official, and the housekeeper of Wuchouhou's mansion is definitely not bad. Serving as a guest of honor is more prestigious than being a general!

Life in the Hou Mansion is also very good. The governor is very good to his subordinates, even to the point of protecting the calf. The two wives are also kind-hearted people. The monthly allowances are paid in full, and there are other rewards during festivals. Everyone performs their duties, united and friendly, there is no right and wrong, and there is no darkness in other mansions!

The only trouble is the young ladies, who are active by nature, bold and bold, always causing trouble everywhere, making the mansion run wild, and most of Song Zhong's energy is to deal with their aftermath and apologize everywhere. , He almost went all over the place, in other words, the young ladies beat up all those dandies, extremely overbearing!

Yesterday the treasury of the Hou Mansion was opened, and the ladies moved hundreds of times. They were too tired to get up on the bed, so they had no energy to go out and cause trouble. Song Zhong had a rare leisure time. After patrolling the courtyard, he walked out Hou Mansion, enjoy your precious freedom!

He is going to go to Piaoxiang Building, have a few drinks, inquire about some news, and then do the things assigned by the governor. It is rare to have a task, and it must be done beautifully!

The restaurants in Xuchang City have different levels. Some towering pavilions are luxuriously decorated and are specially used to entertain high-ranking officials. Well, not the worst, but the most famous!

Piaoxiang Building also has another name called "Butler Building". Most of the people who come here to drink are butlers in Baiguan mansions. What a great god!

"Master Song is here, please come inside, the seat is reserved for you all the time!"

"Brother Song, let's sit together, the best spirits, three years old, fragrant!"

"Brother Song, what have you been up to lately? I haven't seen you for a while!"

..............................

Song Zhong stepped in, and there was a burst of greetings in the restaurant. The guys all called him Lord, and the housekeepers of other mansions, no matter how old they were, all called him brother, which is extremely polite!

"Don't be polite, everyone. It's rare to be free today. Let's have a few drinks!" Song Zhong raised his belly slightly, and greeted him with style. There are also high and low housekeepers, which are determined by the official position and ability of the master behind him. No worries The butler of the Hou Mansion is definitely the highest level!

After a lot of noise, the housekeepers of each government were seated separately. They were arranged strictly according to their ranks. The housekeepers of high-ranking officials and ministers sat in the core position, and the ordinary ones sat around. Those from small households might not even have a seat. Guys They also have to help when serving wine and food!

Don't underestimate these family matters. In fact, many times, they are the spokespersons of the master. What the dignitaries are difficult to say, and what they can't say, are often conveyed through the housekeepers. Therefore, many topics discussed in the Piaoxiang Building are military affairs. How does it feel to have a court meeting!

At the same time, butlers also need to collect information, listen to intelligence, and report it to their masters for decision-making purposes. Therefore, an excellent butler is equivalent to a professional spy, who can read words and expressions, and have a keen mind, which is beyond the reach of idlers!

It was freezing cold, and after drinking a few cups of hot wine, everyone's faces immediately turned rosy, and their tongues also became flexible. As for the topics they discussed, it was naturally inseparable from several major events that happened in Xuchang City, such as "Tiger Leopard Riding to search the villa, how much money was lost by each government, whose steward was arrested, lost his head, etc.!

"Xiliang was in chaos, and the imperial court decided to send troops to conquer. Ma Teng and Han Sui were not incompetent. Xiliang soldiers were even more famous for their bravery. I don't know what chance the great governor has?" After a few words, people brought the topic to the point where In the beginning of the Western Expedition, the imperial court went all out for this battle!

"What are Ma Teng and Han Sui? They're just a bunch of grass bandits from Xiliang. The governor of my family is an ever-victorious general!" Song Zhong curled his mouth, his chest was pulled out higher than his chin, and his face was full of arrogance... "Da Jun On the Western Expedition, Lao Song, I will also go with the army, and when the time comes to fight the enemy, behead generals and make meritorious service, I will also fight for glory and wealth, you will envy me!"
