It was nighttime!
Princess Changle finished the social activities among the noblewomen and collapsed on the bed. She didn't care about the etiquette of a princess and the demeanor of the hostess of the Mo Family at all.
"These people just want to get close to you because of your status as a princess and the wealth of the Village Mo. Why do you have to be so tired?" Meton came in and saw the tired Changle. He felt sorry for her.
Power and wealth had always been the focus of people, but Princess Changle had both, which made the noblewomen in Chang 'an crazy.
Princess Changle snuggled in Meton's arms and said coquettishly, "Besides, these people are all from the noble families in Chang 'an. I can't refuse them. Although I can't help the Village Mo a lot, at least I can make friends with them, so that the Village Mo won't make enemies everywhere."
Modun could not help but feel moved. He knew that Princess Changle was doing her best to maintain her status as the mistress of the Mo Estate. It was only because of this that she had no choice but to participate in these social gatherings that she was originally unaccustomed to.
"If the Village Mo relies on you, I'm afraid it won't go far. You don't have to make yourself suffer. Just make friends and don't worry about other things." Merton said.
"Okay!" Princess Changle nodded obediently. She was quiet and didn't like these social activities. Now Meton said that the Village Mo didn't need to do this, so she wouldn't force herself.
Meton looked at Princess Changle with pity. She was a carefree princess and didn't need to worry about these things. She did all these for him.
"I heard that you also divided the property under your name into two?" Meton suddenly asked.
Princess Changle nodded and said naughtily, "I saw that the accounts of the Mo Family and the Village Mo were divided into two. I just followed the rules."
Meton couldn't help laughing, "No, it should be the husband and wife. But it's very right to distinguish between public and private affairs. But in this way, the management cost will be doubled. It's a lot of trouble."
Princess Changle couldn't help but feel bitter.
"But don't worry. The bank in the Village of Mo is about to be built. In the future, we can just put our financial affairs on the bank. You only need to control the money, and you don't have to worry about it." Merton said.
Princess Changle couldn't help but nod. Her eyes turned and she asked curiously, "What's a bank?"
Meton took a deep breath and said solemnly, "A product that can change the world."
At the end of the Vermilion Bird Avenue, it was close to the Vermilion Bird Gate and was the most strictly guarded area in the imperial city. The commercial atmosphere was not strong, but it was the safest place. The headquarters of the Village Mo Bank was located here.
"Madam, Young Master!" When Meton appeared with Princess Changle, Mo Er led Mo Jiazi's brothers to greet him. The Construction Bank was a huge matter, and Meton had Mo Er in charge of it.
Meton nodded and asked, "Where is Mr. Gongshu?"
"Replying to young master, Sir Gongshu has already designed the structure of the treasury and is currently at the foundation of the treasury." As Mo Er spoke, he led Modun and Princess Changle to the location of the treasury.
Gongshu Hong was leading a group of Gongshu's brothers, holding a blueprint and directing a huge pit. He didn't wake up until Meton came close.
"Mo Jiazi!" Gongshu Hong blurted out when he saw Meton.
However, when he saw Princess Changle, he quickly changed his words, "Your Highness!"
"Changle has heard a lot about the Gongshu family!" Princess Changle said with a smile. Princess Changle naturally knew about the grudge between the Mo family and the Gongshu family. However, since Meton invited the Gongshu family to build the bank's treasury, she naturally understood that the relationship between the two families had eased a lot.
"This is the Gongshu family's honor!" Gongshu Hong was flattered.
Even Modun could not help but admit that Princess Changle's appearance truly possessed a strange charm. Even the feud between the Mo and Gongshu clans could be mediated with Princess Changle's intervention. Unexpectedly, the two clans were able to communicate in such a peaceful environment.
"This is the treasury prepared by Mr. Gongshu!" Princess Changle pointed at the foundation and asked.
Gongshu Hong said proudly, "Yes, this treasury can be said to be integrated with the essence of the Gongshu family's tyrannical mechanism. Not to mention the quicksand outside the treasury, the interior has mechanical crossbows, chain flippers, iron chains, and hanging stones. There is also a mercury pool in the treasury. …"
Since Morton's treasury was of great importance, and it was the first shot to make the Gongshu family famous, Gongshu Hong directly used nine of the ten most common burial mechanisms in the future. Except for corpse poison, he didn't leave out any of the others.
"There's also my son, Gongshu Hao, who designed the lock mechanism. It's indestructible, and can be controlled by three people. There's also an hourglass inside. Once it's locked, it can't be opened without 12 hours of rest. The Gongshu family can guarantee that even the most powerful thief in the world can't do anything to it," Gongshu Hong said proudly.
Although the tomb robbers in the future had the opportunity to rob tombs, it was only when there was no one around. The treasury of the Mo family's village was always guarded. Once the quicksand fell or any mechanism was triggered, the alarm would be called. In Gongshu Hong's opinion, this was the safest fortress in the world. Even the Gongshu family could not do anything to it in a short time.
"I wonder if Merton is satisfied with the treasury designed by the Gongshu family." Gongshu Hong held his breath and said. For a long time, the Mo family had been suppressing the Gongshu family. Now, he would use the Gongshu family's mechanism skills to prove himself in front of Mo Jiazi.
As soon as Gongshu Hong finished speaking, many of the Gongshu family members stared straight at Meton.
Meton nodded without hesitation and said, "The Gongshu family's mechanism skills are indeed extraordinary. It is an eye-opener for me. According to Mr. Gongshu's arrangement, this treasury is indeed one of the safest places in the world."
Many of the Gongshu family members couldn't help but look proud. Although the Mo family and the Gongshu family were constantly fighting, how could the Gongshu family members not be excited to get Mo Jiazi's approval?
"However …" Meton's words changed, and Gongshu Hong's proud face froze.
"However, Mr. Gongshu overlooked a huge loophole!" Meton said seriously.
"Please enlighten me, Merton!" Gongshu Hong was not convinced.
"Force … attack!" Meton said word by word.
"Force attack!" Gongshu Hong couldn't help but narrow his eyes and stare at Meton. He suddenly realized that he had indeed made a mistake. He didn't build a treasury for a small family, but the wealth of the Mo family's village, which was the richest in the world. It would not only be targeted by petty thieves, but also some daring bandits and even … stronger forces.
In the face of such a powerful force, his so-called intricately designed mechanisms would not be able to hold out for long.
Moton pointed at the foundation of the silver vault in front of him and shouted, "I want the location of the silver vault underground. Dig as deep as the Gongshu family can dig. All the foundations and walls must be covered with three feet of reinforced concrete mortar. All the rooms must be locked with three locks and handed over to three people for safekeeping. There is only one passageway in the entire silver vault, and we must use a hundred-thousand-kilogram steel cylinder as a mechanism. When the mechanism is activated, the huge cylinder will rotate and reveal a passageway that can accommodate two people walking side by side. Not only that, once there is an alarm, all the entrances will be sealed, and the people inside will run out of oxygen within a day and suffocate to death …"
Gongshu Hong and the other members of the Gongshu family were stunned by Meton's plan. Compared with the original design of the Gongshu family, Gongshu Hong suddenly felt ashamed. The treasury he designed was pitifully simple.
The treasury was deep underground and had a steel door that weighed a hundred thousand pounds. Mo Jiazi's so-called gunpowder would not be able to shake it at all. This was also a loophole that he had overlooked. He was still thinking about the conventional anti-theft method, but he didn't realize that there was a new kind of destructive weapon in the world. Mo Jiazi had personally seen this most powerful spear, which was why he designed the strongest shield to defend against it.
"This way, the treasury is deep underground. How can we move the valuables?" Gongshu Hong humbly asked for advice.
Meton waved his hand and said, "The Mo family has already designed a man-made elevator. It can be used here."
"Even if the cellar is too deep, people will die, not to mention the treasury is so deep underground." Gongshu Hong frowned.
Meton spread out his hands and said, "This will depend on Mr. Gongshu to design a safe ventilation system.
Gongshu Hong couldn't help but laugh. He knew that Mo Jiazi's job would not be easy to accept. However, the more it was so, the more excited he was. If this was the safest and most indestructible treasury in the world, it would be an irresistible temptation for a craftsman.
Meton and Gongshu Hong kept discussing the safety measures of the treasury. Whenever one proposed a solution, the other would try his best to crack it. Soon, an unprecedented prototype of the treasury appeared on the blueprint.
Princess Changle couldn't help but smile when she saw the two people who were supposed to be on opposite sides coexisting so harmoniously. Perhaps this was where Meton's charm lay.
"Once this treasury is out, all the thieves in the world will feel powerless and helpless." Gongshu Hong looked at the design on the blueprint and couldn't help but admire it from the bottom of his heart.
This treasury could be said to be the combination of the Gongshu family's mechanical techniques, the Mo family's new materials, and Mo Jiazi's imaginative ideas. Gongshu Hong believed that when this treasury was completed, the world would be amazed.
