2865 The first place you can never win

 "Don't get me wrong, we're not here to do anything. We just came to see the excitement here, so we came here to take a look."

As the sweet voice sounded again, the curtain of the carriage was slightly rolled up, and then, Ziyi's beautiful face with a light application of powder and a lightly swept eyebrow slowly emerged from behind the curtain.

"Well……"

At first sight of this pretty lady who seemed to have walked out of a painting, the man who just stepped forward to salute was obviously startled. After he came to his senses, he quickly lowered his head and did not dare to look again.

He and the few brothers behind him are all guards of a wealthy family! Naturally, their daily knowledge and experience cannot be compared to that of the brave and ruthless gangster Qingpi on the street!

From the first moment they saw Zi Yi, they knew that if they could marry such a woman, then the owner of this carriage must be extraordinary!

Even if it doesn't have anything hanging on it that could indicate its identity, it's definitely not something that their little guards can afford to offend!

"Since it's just a casual look, I won't disturb Madam's pleasure!"

Knowing that the other party's identity was unusual, the guards naturally did not dare and were unwilling to stay here any longer, so they handed him over and prepared to retreat.

"Wait a minute!"

And just when several guards turned around and wanted to return to their convoy, a young man sitting on the other side of the car jumped out and stopped them with a smile.

"Oh? May I ask for your advice?"

Seeing that the other party actually stopped him, the expressions of several guards immediately changed, and then they all squinted their eyes and stared at Xiaodong.

"Don't take advice seriously!" Facing the gazes of the guards, Xiaodong still smiled like that.

I saw him looking back at his wife first, then Shi Shiran stepped forward, clasped his fists and raised his hands and asked several people: "My wife has a few questions. I want to ask some brothers. Is it convenient?"

convenient?"

"this……"

Hearing that the other party only wanted to ask a few questions and was not trying to embarrass himself, the leading guard finally breathed a sigh of relief, but when he thought about the things in his motorcade again, he couldn't help but hesitate.

"Haha, why are you in trouble, brother?"

Xiaodong smiled again and cupped his hand, but this time he didn't see any movement. The guard felt his palms sinking, as if something cold and heavy was stuffed into his hands.

"silver?"

Feeling the heavy feeling in his hand, the guard frowned quickly, but then separated quickly!

These days, he has been dealing with this thing almost every day, so naturally he can tell what it is right away...

And, judging from the heavy feel, this piece of silver must be worth at least one hundred and eighty coppers!

Don't underestimate these one hundred and eighty copper coins. You must know that in the Tang Dynasty at this time, many people worked with their backs to the sky and their faces turned to the earth. They worked for a whole year and only earned one thousand eight hundred copper coins. Nowadays, people

I only asked myself a few questions and gave so much money, which can definitely be called a generous hand!

"You're welcome, Madam. If you have any questions, just ask. I will tell you everything you know!"

Facing this piece of silver, which was enough to be worth half a month's salary, the guard only struggled for a moment before being completely defeated by the power of the silver!

He just gritted his teeth and gently turned his palm, and the walnut-sized piece of silver was hidden in his sleeve. He was so fast that even Xiaodong, who was so close, didn't notice it.

"It's not a very important question..." He curiously took a look at the guard's sleeves, but found no clues. Xiaodong had to cup his hands again and asked: "I just wanted to ask a few brothers who came to line up so early today.

Is it also about that country’s bonds?”

"Yes!"

After all, the power of money is still powerful! The expression on the guard's face after receiving the money was relatively fresh, obviously relaxed a lot, and there was also a hint of a smile.

He pointed to the crowded bank entrance and said to Xiaodong: "Since I heard that the bank is going to issue bonds today, my master sent us to come with money to subscribe early in the morning! No, we are waiting here.

Got it!"

"Oh? It's true, but brother, your family's wealth is also very rich!"

Although he had already guessed that all those carts were carrying gold, silver, and copper coins, Xiaodong couldn't help but secretly dumbfounded when he heard the guard admit it! He thought to himself, how much money does this cart have? Even if it is tens of thousands of coins,

, I’m afraid it’s more than that, right?

"Well, since I came so early, why didn't you go in to handle the matter?" After swallowing, Xiaodong put the thought of murder and robbery out of his mind, and asked curiously again.

"Hey, stop talking!" The guard was obviously a little helpless about this problem. He shook his head gently and said: "We are indeed the first to come this morning, but we never expected that in front of us, there was yesterday.

, I was waiting here the day before yesterday!”

After that, the guard looked at Xiaodong, who was full of doubts, and weakly pointed at the backyard of the bank and said: "It doesn't matter that we are first in line outside, but the parking lot in the bank's courtyard in front is already full now.

Got the car!

Moreover, the bank manager just came out and said that their treasury has too much money to hold in it, and they can only wait for someone from the palace to move the money to the palace before they can continue to exchange it for us!

"Huh...you have so much money that you can't even hold it?"

If Xiaodong was just stunned just now, now he is simply shocked beyond measure!

Don’t forget, the location, construction, and even decoration and display of the bank in front of you were all chosen and designed by our Lord Marquis and the skilled craftsmen of the Mo family!

As Xiao Han's confidant, Xiaodong knows better than anyone how big the bank's underground vault is!

At the beginning, in order to ensure that the money deposited in the bank was safe enough and would not be taken care of by those Liangshang gentlemen, Xiao Han decisively abandoned the original prison-like square design, and instead designed an inverted triangle based on the original design back to Luocang.

The warehouse looks like.

According to experiments, this kind of inverted triangular warehouse is enough to hold tens of thousands of money! But now, in just one morning, Xiao Han heard that the money collected was so much that the money bank couldn't even put it in! If only he could store it there

It would be strange not to be surprised!

"Hey, who says it's not?"

The guard also sighed quietly at this time. He also wanted to hurry up and go home quickly! He would not be exposed to the wind and sun here, and he would have to be baptized by those inexplicable eyes.

"When will the people from the palace come?" Xiaodong scratched his head and continued to ask.

"I don't know!" The guard sighed again, looked up in the direction of the palace, and said helplessly: "I just heard that it will take more than half an hour to come back!"
