Chapter 87 The Secret Inside the Stone Lock
After finalizing some details, they dispersed. Except for Hua Ying who was very happy about setting up a money house, everyone else was not interested. In their eyes, the role of a money house was far less useful than that of soldiers.
Because Liu Hu always told them that as long as I have the military power, the world is mine. No matter how rich you are, as long as I have soldiers, all the money you have is mine. On the contrary, no matter how rich you are, if you have no soldiers, you cannot protect half of your country.
Therefore, Luo Fanchen and Asi just cooperated with Hua Ying in the performance. Every time Hua Ying asked for help, the two of them would arrange for their subordinates to do it to avoid causing trouble for Hua Ying.
No matter what, Hua Ying is also a member of Liu Hu's camp, and they can't let her suffer any loss.
If Liu Hu hadn't taken the lead, they probably wouldn't have worked so hard to raise money for Hua Ying.
After Ah Si came out, the younger brothers didn't understand what Ah Si wanted the money for, so they surrounded him and asked.
"Brother Si, why do you suddenly want so much money?"
"Yeah, do you want to buy something? I'll buy it for you."
Ah Si looked at his brothers who were concerned about him and smiled, "It's not me who wants so much money, it's the boss who wants it."
"Boss, are you still short of money?"
After hearing what Ah Si said, they were even more confused. After all, everyone knew that Liu Hu was rich. Now he said he was short of money. No one would believe it.
Ah Si nodded and said, "The boss is going to set up the largest bank, so he is so short of money. But don't worry, the boss said that the money is only temporarily placed in the bank, and you can withdraw it anytime you want. But don't bring too many people at the same time, it's easy to get caught up."
"Zhou Bukai? What does this mean?" one of his men asked, because Asi did not remember Liu Hu's words. At that time Liu Hu said that Zhou Zhuanbukai, but Asi only remembered half of it.
Ah Si didn't want to show that he was too ignorant in front of his subordinates, so he said casually: "Hey, you guys put the money in the boss's bank first, and withdraw it when you need it. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
"Money house?"
"That's great. From now on, we can borrow money anywhere we go."
"Yes, as long as there is a branch of a bank, we can go there to borrow money. It's so convenient."
"Boss, how much do you need? If you're not in a hurry, I'll go back and get some."
A Si and his men didn't know the meaning of a money house, but his subordinates knew it very well. Since they could get close to A Si, they had no shortage of money and naturally would not easily go to a money house to borrow money.
However, the significance brought by the money house is extraordinary. Liu Hu's money house is definitely the largest money house in Daqian. Everyone knows that controlling the economic lifeline means controlling the entire country.
At present, Liu Hu holds the military power of the entire Daqian, and now he wants to control the economy. Liu Hu is the uncrowned king of the entire Daqian.
He has money and people, so I'm afraid it won't be too long before he ascends the throne.
By then, these people of theirs will no longer be subordinates of the Grand Tutor, but of the Emperor, similar to the Imperial Guards, with a huge difference in status.
Ah Si was very happy to hear his men working so hard, and said with a smile: "Take as much as you can before tomorrow morning. When I have money in the future, I can pay you back on behalf of the boss."
"Hey, Brother Si, why haven't you paid back anything yet? What are you talking to us brothers about?"
"That's right, Brother Si. We brothers will always remember your care for us."
"Brother Si, please don't be polite with us. It's a bit awkward to talk like this."
After all, Liu Hu is very powerful, and they will receive more money every month, so they don’t care about the money in front of them at all.
----------------------------------------
The next morning, Liu Hu got up early and prepared to find a place where no one was around to exercise.
After all, Liu Hu is quite familiar with his own body. If too many people were around, it would be embarrassing. It is better for fewer people to know about this kind of thing.
After a quick wash and a change of fresh clothes, he was able to do some good exercise. Just as he was about to go out, he looked up and saw Xuemei sitting on the horizontal bar where Asi usually practiced his arm strength, looking very excited.
Seeing Liu Hu coming out, Xuemei hurried out to greet him, "Oh, you're up pretty early."
"Yeah." Liu Hu replied indifferently. He was already accustomed to Xuemei's attitude and didn't take it to heart at all.
"Don't you want to know why the blacksmith's reaction changed so much yesterday?" Xuemei wanted Liu Hu to pay attention to her, so she deliberately kept him in suspense.
Liu Hu glanced at Xuemei, ignoring her arrogant expression, and said casually, "I don't want to."
"Ah?" Xuemei was busy until midnight yesterday, just because she wanted to let everyone see the results of her work. Now Liu Hu's words completely made her lose interest.
Seeing that Liu Hu didn't seem to be joking, Xuemei quickly chased after him and said, "No, I was busy until very late yesterday. Couldn't you cooperate with me and show that you really wanted to see the result?"
If you want to say something, you will say it naturally. If you don’t want to say it, no matter how much I cooperate with you, it will be useless.
Liu Hu had already guessed what the stone lock was in his mind, and now Xuemei had this expression again, how could he not understand.
Xuemei's face drooped suddenly. She didn't expect Liu Hu to be so tactless. She had no choice but to block Liu Hu's way and begged him, "Take a look at this stone lock. Take a look quickly."
"No, I still have to practice." Liu Hu insisted.
Although he has no talent, in his heart, as long as he works hard, there will be rewards. Even if the hope is very slim, Liu Hu will still persist.
Xuemei pursed her lips and whispered, "It's impossible for you to learn martial arts, so why humiliate yourself?"
"What did you say?" Liu Hu was a little dissatisfied with a cold light in his eyes. He felt that Xuemei was a little disrespectful to him and was thinking about how to punish Xuemei.
Xuemei also saw that Liu Hu was angry, so she didn't dare to speak immediately. She could only shrink her neck and said, "I say, you don't need to practice for a while, so you should take a good look at the stone lock."
While the two of them were talking, Luo Fanchen and Asi had already gotten up. When they came out, they saw Xuemei and Liu Hu confronting each other.
Liu Hu didn't want others to misunderstand the relationship between him and Xuemei, so he stood aside and said to Ah Si, "She said that this stone lock has a secret, don't you want to know?"
How could Ah Si not be interested in this stone lock? After hearing Liu Hu's words, he immediately became interested. He ran to Xuemei and asked, "What's the secret?"
Xuemei was naturally very happy that someone was cooperating with her, and immediately raised her tail and said, "You would never have thought of this."
Seeing Xuemei keeping the secret, Ah Si didn't get angry, but continued to ask: "What secret does this stone lock have?"
It was rare for someone to be interested in her research, and Xuemei didn't want the visitors to leave too quickly, because she had already seen that Liu Hu had one foot out of the door, and if she didn't say anything, it would probably be too late.
After thinking about this, Xuemei immediately cleared her throat and shouted to everyone: " Yesterday , the blacksmith shop owner was so concerned about this stone lock. The real reason is here."
After saying that, he looked over and saw that everyone's eyes were following him. Even Liu Hu stopped and watched Xuemei's every move carefully.
Xuemei immediately smiled triumphantly and kept pressing the side of the stone lock. After pressing it for more than twenty times, the stone lock did not change at all.
"Could it be that the blacksmith shop owner really has some shocking secret?" Liu Hu thought to himself.
Houcheng is not big, but it is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Liu Hu never thought that there were so many powerful people in Lingnan before. But after staying there for a few days, he met one ruthless person after another.
First, the business genius Su Xing came, then the number one genius doctor Zhang Chunqiu came, and now a ninth-level master has come.
Thinking back to what I used to think, that Lingnan was a solid block, it seems a bit ridiculous now.
Is it possible that there really is a hidden force in Lingnan that is constantly accumulating strength, ready to bring me down at any time?
Xuemei slid for a while, and finally, the stone lock made a "click" sound. Then, she saw the side of the stone lock fell off very smoothly, revealing a small piece of paper.
Luo Fanchen was sharp-eyed. He reached out and took the note, then opened it and started reading.
Xuemei had already taken out the note, scratched her nose and said, "How is it? I'm awesome, right?"
Neither Asi nor Liu Hu paid any attention to Xuemei, but waited quietly for Luo Fanchen's result.
Luo Fanchen looked at it for a while, then casually threw the paper to Ah Si. After Ah Si took it, he said dissatisfiedly: "Why give it to me? I can't read."
"Oh my god, it turned out to be a three thousand tael silver note. No wonder that kid looked like that yesterday. If my wife knew that I hid so much money, I guess even most powerful hard Qigong wouldn't be able to stop the roar of the Hedong Lion."
Although A Si could not read, he knew banknotes. He took the banknote thrown by Luo Fanchen and recognized it at a glance.
Seeing the three thousand taels of silver, Asi was very happy. After all, the stone lock was his, and the money in it was also his.
He didn't think money was important before, but now he has decided to save money.
Then, he glanced at Liu Hu and found that Liu Hu did not stop for a moment and went directly to the backyard. Obviously, he did not care about the silver bills.
Ah Si grinned, put the banknote in his arms with ill intentions, and said, "I didn't expect there would be an unexpected gain."
After all, Luo Fanchen has never liked these external wealth, so he would not compete with me for it. As for Xuemei, Asi had already defined her as a rich person, so how could she want these three thousand taels of silver notes?
After what happened yesterday, Asi decided to save money slowly and then return it to his brothers, so he was extra careful when he saw the banknotes this time.
Sure enough, just as Asi thought, Luo Fanchen did not stop and went directly to the backyard to find food for his poisonous creatures. As for Xuemei, she did not care about the three thousand taels of silver at all. She just wanted to show off.
Seeing that everyone had dispersed, Xuemei installed the stone lock and waved her hand at Ah Si, saying, "I'm going back to sleep. Call me when it's time for breakfast."
Ah Si listened to Xuemei's words and pouted, "Little Fatty, you really treat me as a servant. Let me tell you, your grandfather is very powerful."
"Okay, okay, I get it. You're the best. Don't forget to call me for breakfast." Xuemei was so sleepy that she didn't have the energy to argue with Asi.
I was busy until midnight yesterday and got up early this morning to show off. I didn't get enough rest at all and I can't even lift my eyelids.
Ah Si also noticed that Xuemei was a little tired, so he had to suffer in silence and act as a servant for a while. He picked up the stone lock and wanted to exercise.
When he actually picked it up, he suddenly remembered what Luo Fanchen said to him yesterday. After thinking about it, he decided to wait until his strength broke through before using this stone lock.
After all, this stone lock has already made three thousand taels of silver, so it’s not a loss for me.
