Chapter 175: The Treasury
Li Anran, who knew that he would not be able to come back in a short time by driving a yacht to pick up people, left another one for his subordinates and went around the mountains by himself, so he returned to the underground secret room of his compound and traveled to Datang time and space with his bag.
"Mei'er, what's going on on the commercial street?" Li Anran, who came out of the retreat room, saw Su Xiaomei crawling on the desk writing something after coming to the inner hall, and immediately stepped forward and asked with a smile.
"There's a cloud over there, so there won't be a problem. Otherwise, the news would have been transmitted back a long time ago. Su Xiaomei, who was keeping accounts, put down her pen, picked up a piece of letterhead and said, "Young master, someone has sent a post again, wanting to talk about the goods prepared for the Shangyuan Festival." ”
"What? There are still people who don't give up and want to cooperate with me? Li Anran, who knew what the other party was referring to, took the letterhead and looked at it, and unexpectedly found that there was another super-rich family that was also preparing for the Shangyuan Festival in the commercial street, and saw the money situation of his own goods, so he wanted to talk about cooperation.
"Yes, whoever asked the young master to bring things is too good, if it weren't for the one in Chang'an City, it is estimated that there would not be only these small fish and shrimp who sent the post. No, maybe you won't even bother to send the post at that time. Su Xiaomei, who covered her mouth and smiled and bent her eyes, said.
"So, remember to ask Yun'er to prepare a generous gift and send it to that person, so that people don't know how to be polite. By the way, there are also those ministers, and they should also send a copy as appropriate, just don't go beyond it. Li Anran, who casually threw the letterhead back on the table, said with a smile.
"Understood. Mei'er will make good arrangements and will never make mistakes in etiquette. Su Xiaomei, who had a bright smile on her face, said.
If this were to be replaced before, Su Xiaomei, whose personality was much simpler than Xiangyun's, and whose personality was also weak and gentle, would not have seen these things so lightly. But after the influence of time travel, this brain is obviously much better than before. Not only is it much more efficient to learn those modern knowledge on your own, but also your brain is much more active.
But what satisfied Li Anran the most was that the other party's intelligence was not used in areas that should not be used. On the contrary, it is not known for what reason. With that peculiar feeling. It was also found that the relationship between the two was a little closer than before.
"Could it be that the runes in my brain still have the effect of brushing proximity?" Looking at the pretty face with a bright smile, Li Anran, who didn't come up with a reason for a while, couldn't help but guess.
Seeing that the other party has something to do. I don't have anything to do with myself for the time being. Li Anran simply took Wang Youde with him. I went to the newly built storehouse in the mountain villa.
Unlike the previous warehouses in the lodge, these warehouses are all made of high-quality concrete, steel bar, and even extra-thick steel plates, and are more than warehouses. It's better to say it's a fortress.
This fortress, no, is a storehouse, and from the outside, although there is nothing too conspicuous about it, except that the shape is a little too boxy, and it is a flat roof rather than a spire. But in fact, the strength of the entire treasury is far greater than the city walls of Chang'an City.
At least Li Anran couldn't figure it out, in this place of Datang time and space, in addition to slowly encroaching on it with a lot of artificial water grinding kung fu, who can enter this place in a short period of time that is more solid and impossible to "mouth" than a turtle shell and a hedgehog.
Outside the storehouse, a hall was built for the subordinates, the householders, and the hired workers to exchange bills and buy things. It's just that those daily necessities and the like are still placed in ordinary warehouses. At most, it is equipped with a few large cold storages converted into containers, which is more than a star and a half in terms of safety.
The warehouses of the elephant forts, which are better than the elephant storehouses, are dedicated to storing high-value items such as copper coins, silver, gold, jewelry, and so-called magic weapons. This place is not only heavily guarded, but the most important thing is that the doors that can only be used in the vault can not be opened by any person.
Even if it is opened, the pre-installed alarm system will be triggered at the first time. Although this system is a bit rough and can only serve as a simple reminder, it is enough for Li Anran at the moment.
Li Anran and Wang Youde, who entered the warehouse with Wang Youde's layers of security personnel and the door of the vault, were dazzled by the burst of golden light the moment the internal lights were turned on.
During this period of time, Li Anran has never forgotten another thing when he is doing other things. It is to use copper coins made in batches from modern time and space, and exchange a large amount of gold through various channels, regardless of whether it is gold cake or gold jewelry, as long as it is gold, it is exchanged for re-smelting and then purified to make gold bricks.
Although gold does not belong to the category of normal currency in the Tang Dynasty, it already has a certain degree of circulation. For example, it is made into gold jewelry, gold Buddha statues, golden god statues, and some gold ornaments and even ritual vessels, sacrificial vessels, and so on. However, some of the gold collected by Li Anran was not exchanged through various channels.
"Butler, what's going on in the mine?" Li Anran, who quickly adapted to the golden light, looked at the pile of gold bricks in front of him, and asked while admiring in his heart.
"Back to the young master, the mine is fine, but, according to the people below, there are already signs of being discovered." Wang Youde, who has lived to such an age now, and his desires in all aspects are much lighter than ordinary people, quickly calmed down and replied.
"Huh...... I didn't want to hide it. Anyway, that place was given to me by the True Dragon Emperor, and no one can say anything. I believe that even if someone is red-eyed, they will not be stupid enough to reach out indiscriminately. Walking to the pile of gold bricks, Li Anran, who picked up a gold brick made entirely in accordance with the purity unit and weight unit of modern time and space, stroked it in his hand, and said with a smile.
Gold bricks that have not been finely polished are far less smooth than those that appear in movies and television. However, that kind of golden man, even Li Anran, who is now not bad for money, has to admit that it is very shocking.
"Young master, you still have to be cautious, I'm afraid that someone will ......" Wang Youde, who has been worried a lot since he sent his son to the mine to be the person in charge, reminded.
"I understand, anyway, there is still a group of nursing homes guarding over there, housekeeper, transfer your son back, and go to the commercial street to be a steward." Li Anran, who knew what the other party was worried about, said with a smile.
"Huh? Thank you, young master, thank you, young master! Wang Youde, who was stunned for a moment, didn't know that this was his own young master taking care of his worries, so he hurriedly knelt down and saluted.
Don't look at the importance of the commercial street is not as important as the gold mine that has been discovered for a while, but Wang Youde is very aware of the importance of the commercial street and the farmers' trade center in the heart of his young master. If you really let your son go there to be a manager, his future achievements may not be worse than his own.
As for the idea of letting his son take over his class and continue to be the housekeeper of Xiaoyao Villa. As early as when he stayed in office, Wang Youde didn't think about it anymore. Just kidding, the immortals of the upper realm are already generous if they don't immediately remove their housekeeper status, even if there must be some reasons for doing so, but if you want to continue to occupy this position, don't even think about it.
The reason why he sent his son to the gold mine as a steward was not only to find a career, but also to show loyalty. Otherwise, there are so many things, why bother with this. Seeing that the previous efforts have finally paid off, how can Wang Youde's mood remain calm.
"Dizzy!" Without waiting to kneel, Li Anran, who dragged the other party up, shook his head and said: "Steward Wang, you have worked very hard for Zhuangzi during this time, basically you need to deal with big and small things, and I see this credit in my eyes." No one can take what you deserve. ”
"Thank you...... Thank you, young master. Wang Youde, who once again confirmed that he did not leave at the beginning, was the wisest decision in his life, and his expression was still very excited.
"Don't thank you, I'll arrange someone to take over Da Lang's stewardship when I go back, but you have to be in charge of warehousing." Li Anran, who patted the other party's shoulder, casually put the gold bricks back in their original places, and said with a smile: "By the way, from today onwards, the gold bricks that will be handed over will be divided into 30%, no, 40%, forget it, just divide half of it and send it to Chang'an." (To be continued......)
