"Hey, who's where?"

The sudden sound woke up the three of them.

Cuihua hurriedly complained: "You two hide quickly, don't be discovered by them." ”

Zhang Wen's management of everyone is very strict, and they are not allowed to contact other men in private, otherwise they will directly beat the two to death on the grounds of rebellion.

Luo Min's heart tightened slightly, and he whispered: "Then I'll trouble you next." As he spoke, he grabbed Zhao Tieniu's leader, jumped up to the three-zhang high canopy, and the mulberry tree was very dense enough to cover the two of them.

At this time, a maid came in the distance.

The maid shouted at Cuihua, "Why did you come here, go back with me quickly, or you will annoy Grandma, and we will both be unlucky." ”

"I see. Cuihua hurriedly put away her face, and came to Zhang Wen's with the maid,

That Zhang Wen glanced at the bag in front of Cuihua, and for no reason, he was angry: "Fortunately, you have been suffering for so long, and you have brought me such a little?"

"Well, Grandma Qi. I'm really unwell, and I ask my grandmother to forgive me. Cuihua leaned a little, although it would have pulled the scars on her back, and the pain was unbearable.

Zhang Wenshi scolded: "Hmph. In my opinion, you're lazy. To say that the injury has not healed is simply nonsense. When you go back, go and get twenty rulers yourself. Got it?" is not only for Cuihua alone, but also for the rest of the people, even for those concubines.

Today's events stopped, and the group returned to the North Castle.

When she returned to the castle, Cuihua spread out all the mulberry leaves, and after carefully placing them, she was called into the lobby by Zhang Wen, and she had not accepted the twenty rulers.

Just as he was about to practice the family law, he saw a person walking in quickly.

Cuihua recognized that this person was the Qin steward of the North Castle, and he was the third person after Zhang Feng and Zhang Wen.

The Qin housekeeper said to Zhang Wen's family: "Madam, why are you still here? Why don't you hurry up and pack up the inner hall so that you can get ready to welcome the guests!"

"Who's the guest?"

Zhang Wenshi was a little curious, just looking at Steward Qin's anxious appearance, the other party was afraid that it was not small.

Steward Qin replied: "This, only the master knows, how do we know? But I heard that the other party is from Chang'an, and I heard that it is quite famous." So the master attaches great importance to it, just for fear of annoying the other party and letting the other party run away. ”

"Okay, then I'll go and see, there's anything to add. ”

Zhang Wenshi was thoughtful, since Zhang Fengdu said so, then she naturally didn't dare to slack off.

Cuihua was a little lucky, if this was the case, she was lucky to avoid a beating, who expected that Steward Qin's eyes rolled and fell on Cuihua: "What are you doing kneeling here, why don't you hurry up and tidy up things behind us?"

"The slave knows. ”

Cuihua hurriedly straightened up and followed the two of them to the lobby.

Above this lobby, there are more than a dozen people who are busy wiping down benches and tables so as not to leave stains and give each other a bad impression.

Of course, Cuihua didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly joined in, even if her back was full of scars, she still managed to complete the task she was told.

After it was finished, although everyone felt a little relaxed, they also became nervous again, and under the command of Zhang Wen, they stood on both sides, quietly waiting for the arrival of the distinguished guest in the mouth of the Qin steward.

About an hour later, the guest was late.

The person at the head was naturally Zhang Feng, and he didn't know what he was happy about, his face was flushed, and he took a person's hand enthusiastically and asked, "I said Boss Chen, you are really too enthusiastic this time, and you actually came to me in person?"

If Wang Ruofeng came here, he would definitely be able to recognize that the distinguished guest invited by Zhang Feng this time was Chen Junsheng of Chen Ji Qianzhuang.

Chen Junsheng smiled and said, "That's nature. After all, you're our big customer, if I slack off, then what's the point?"

"That's it. Is it just that as long as you keep the money in your bank, you can get half a cent of profit every year?"

Pulling Chen Junsheng into the hall, Zhang Feng asked Chen Junsheng to sit directly next to him, in order to avoid making the other party feel tired, and let people talk about the prepared dragon well before the rain.

Chen Junsheng took a sip of tea, and then replied, "That's right." As long as you are willing to deposit money in my bank, you can get the equivalent of half a cent of your deposit from me every year. ”

"Really?" Zhang Feng asked with some expectation.

Chen Junsheng smiled and said, "That's nature. Am I going to lie to you? Of course, if you don't want to, then forget it. He put the teacup on the table, but he was going to leave.

Zhang Feng looked flustered, hurriedly stood up and stopped Chen Junsheng, and persuaded in his mouth: "Of course this is not." I just want to make sure. After all, with so much money, if you rush to deposit it in the bank, you will always be a little scared, isn't it?"

"You don't have to worry about this. We will put your money in the underground treasury, which is made of forged steel, and no one can open it, only we can open it. Can you still worry about this?" Chen Junsheng smiled.

After opening a money bank for so many years, Chen Junsheng only needs to sweep the other party's expression, and he will know what the other party's purpose is.

Zhang Feng exhaled the turbid air in his mouth and put his mind at ease: "That's good, that's good." In the end, he remembered something again, and continued to ask: "By the way, if other money banks want to save money, not only will they not give money, but they will recover the storage fee. Why did you do the opposite?"

"Huh. Do you know the changes in Chang'an City today?" Chen Junsheng smiled, only thinking that the person in front of him was really stupid.

Zhang Feng shook his head and replied, "I don't know!"

"That's just as well. After all, you are not from Chang'an, of course you can't see clearly. But you should know that with the completion of the railway, this Chang'an city has become more and more prosperous, and it can be said that it is full of gold. In this way, as long as you do a little business, you can make money. Of course, there have to be opportunities and opportunities, otherwise it would not have been possible. ”

Chen Junsheng does not hide who he once was, on the contrary, he always relish his success.

"Although I had some money at the time, my eyes were black, and I didn't know what a steam engine was or what a bearing was, so if I wanted to get involved, it would be difficult. ”

"Oh, what do you do next?" Zhang Feng asked expectantly.

Chen Junsheng smiled, and then said, "I? Although I can't do it, it doesn't mean that no one can't do it." And you should also know that a penny is difficult for heroes, so I lent them the money and agreed on when to pay it back. In this way, in less than three years, I had this family property. ”

"So that's it?" Zhang Feng was a little enlightened.

Most of the loans lent are two cents or even three cents, and if they are in the bank, they only have less than half a cent of interest, so that Chen Junsheng can naturally make profits by relying on the difference in price.

Chen Junsheng smiled: "Although this is the case, but you also know that Chang'an City is mixed, and there are often people who borrow money and do not pay it back, and as a result, my reserve fund is too small. ”

"It's nature. It's just that if I take a stake in your bank, how much are you going to share with me?"

Zhang Feng smiled, his family business was already very large, but he suffered from no way to enter Chang'an, and it was because of this that he met the person in front of him through Zhang Mo's introduction.

"Thirty percent. As long as this matter is one percent, at least thirty percent. Chen Junsheng said with a smile.

Zhang Feng suddenly rejoiced and said with a smile: "That's good." It's just that my deposit this time is a bit large, I wonder if you have enough manpower?"

Chen Junsheng smiled loudly and replied, "That's nature. I've commissioned SF Dart Bureau, and if it were them, you would have believed it. ”

"It's SF Dart? Of course you can. Zhang Feng laughed.

Although it is subject to policy reasons and is not allowed to be equipped with high-powered weapons such as guns, it is still enough to make ordinary bandits afraid and dare not provoke them.

As a result, SF Dart has become the most prestigious dart game in Chang'an.

Chen Junsheng waved his hand and said, "According to the time, they should have arrived now." ”

As he spoke, eight carriages drove into the North Castle together, and the carriages were all wrapped with a layer of iron plates, which was enough to defend against ordinary losses, and the pack horses that pulled the carriages were also wearing leather armor, and they were full of a solemn aura at a glance, worthy of coming out of the army.

Twenty or so people walked out of the carriage, all of them in their thirties, wearing exactly the same clothes, only the logo of SF Dart Board was tattooed on the shoulders behind them.

The leader walked up, gave a military salute to Chen Junsheng, and said, "May I ask if you are Chen Junsheng and Mr. Chen?"

"That's right, it's me!" Chen Junsheng nodded and replied.

Zhang Feng looked at this scene and was also stunned: "This, if I hadn't been prepared, I would have thought that you were from the army." ”

"That's right. After all, they were originally retired soldiers, and this was originally to solve the problem of military retirement, so they were also equipped with many weapons that only the army had. Of course, firearms such as guns and tiger squat guns are still strictly restricted. Chen Junsheng explained.

If we talk about the problems of the army in this era, the most serious of them is that once they join it, they will never be able to retire, and they must work until they die, whether it is the Song Dynasty or the Mongols, they all take this measure.

This regulation, of course, ensures that the army has sufficient numbers, but it also invisibly locks up the development of the army.

Regardless of the decline in combat effectiveness caused by the aging of soldiers, it will also lead to the fear of ordinary people and refusal to join the army, which eventually leads to the military power in the hands of a small number of people, the most serious is that like the Song Dynasty, the combat effectiveness of most armies declined, resulting in the formation of a warlord system.

Therefore, Xiao Feng vigorously promoted the retirement system, in addition to giving enough military pay to the retired to ensure that their lives would not have problems, but also opened up many fields and handed them over to those veterans.

Many systems worked together, and this created the strong combat effectiveness of the Huaxia Army.

"That's right. SF Dart Bureau, the mission will be achieved. Since we have your dart, of course we will ensure the safety of your dart. "The dart head is also confident.

"Good. Then I'll take out the money from the treasury. ”

When Zhang Feng saw this group of big men with round shoulders and thick waists, he also believed in Chen Junsheng's sincerity, and when he was about to take out the key to open the treasury, he showed a hesitant look.

Chen Junsheng hurriedly waved his hand, and all the people from the SF Dart Bureau also exited the lobby.

Cuihua was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhang Feng.

"Hey, you stay here and help me get the money out. ”

Cuihua was overjoyed, and thanked her: "The slave understands." Obviously, because her performance over the past few days has been recognized by Zhang Feng, she can go deep into it.

I saw Zhang Feng roll up a scroll of landscape paintings, revealing a copper lion, took out a copper seal from his waist and inserted it from the lion's mouth, and then turned the copper lion to the left, and a brick wall next to it retreated, revealing a narrow path, which was dark inside, and should have been built underground.

Zhang Wang's family and Steward Qin turned a blind eye, they should have known about this secret room for a long time.

"Come in. ”

Zhang Feng took a kerosene lamp, and everyone followed into the secret room.

As soon as she stepped into it, Cuihua immediately felt a stuffiness in her chest, the turbid air mixed with the smell of rancidity came to her face, and a layer of moss was attached to the walls built with mountain stones mined in the nearby mountains, and it was obviously some time ago, it should have existed since the establishment of this northern castle.

The light of the kerosene lamp is not very bright, but it can also illuminate this secret room clearly, the area is not large, and the radius is only about one zhang, just because they are all built with mountain stones, and iron juice is poured into them, it can be seen that it is quite strong.

And here, there are a dozen or so boxes.

The box has long been rotted because of the corrosion for a long time, and the strings of copper coins contained in it have long since given birth to a layer of patina, and it can be seen from the inscription above that these are copper coins produced during the Northern Song Dynasty.

According to the calculation of fifty yuan for a box, it will be five hundred yuan here.

However, according to the latest regulations, these copper coins are no longer allowed to circulate in the market for the next five years.

It is no wonder that Zhang Feng invited Chen Junsheng here just to transfer the money out.

In addition, there are two chests full of gold and silver bars, and if you add them up, I am afraid that there are only tens of thousands of dollars here.

Of course, in addition to these things, Cuihua also noticed a box in the distance, which looked quite new, because the box was not closed, so it could be seen that there were books inside.

"That, should it be the proof of the crime that Luo Min said?"

Although it was the first in the body, Cuihua was also very happy when she thought that she had discovered the secret of this Zhang Feng, and after helping Zhang Feng transport these copper coins out, she found an opportunity to hand over all the information here to Zhao Tiesheng and Luo Min.

Next, it is natural to see how the two of them deal with it.
