Chapter 734: Crazy Zhu Zihou
Zhu Ping'an and Jia Langzhong stood in front of the Taicang Bank Gate for a long time, watching the soldiers carrying the silver under close supervision.
It looked like Zhu Ping'an was standing there watching the soldiers carrying the silver coins, but in fact he was already wandering too far away, and his mind was already recalling the whole story of "the theft of the largest bank in the Qing Dynasty"...
However, from the perspective of Jia Langzhong on the side, Zhu Pingan stood there in a daze like a piece of wood, as if he was deeply shocked by the scene in front of him and could not recover for a long time.
So, Jia Langzhong showed a satisfied smile on his lips.
No surprise.
This scene has been staged several times. Just like the inspectors in the past, as long as they are brought to see the scene of warehouse soldiers carrying silver coins, they will be shocked by the strict inspection system of Taicang Bank. .
Naked, naked.
With such a strict entry and exit system, such harsh inspection methods, and such rigorous management, what else can you criticize about the control of Taicang Bank?
“Zi Hou, what do you think of our entry and exit inspection method in Taicang?”
Jia Langzhong was quite proud, but he tried to look modest. He pointed at Ku Bing who was undergoing inspection, looked at Zhu Pingan and asked.
"Tight supervision and strict precautions."
Zhu Ping'an came back to his senses and nodded solemnly in praise.
Hearing this, Jia Langzhong showed a proud look on his face, and was about to say a few words of humility when he heard Zhu Pingan speak again.
"But." Zhu Ping'an paused at this point, as if he was considering his next words.
After hearing Zhu Ping'an's words, the proud look on Jia Langzhong's face suddenly disappeared, and his heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that Zhu Pingan saw something wrong? Mr. Jia looked at the gate and stared at every aspect of the inspection. There was no problem, everything was done in strict accordance with the regulations.
Or is it that this guy discovered the "hidden rules" of moving warehouses?
Under normal circumstances, when Taicang Bank collects summer taxes, autumn grain discounts and donations from various places, what it collects are silver ingots of excellent quality, all containing 99% silver. , but the silver ingots paid out in Taicang are generally silver with low silver content and poor quality. For example, using 90% silver content and passing it off as 99% silver content, don’t underestimate this item. , but this difference in quality is equivalent to 9% less expenditure.
As for the nine percent that disappeared, it naturally fell into the pockets of the management.
Don't underestimate nine percent. This is not a small number. Compared with Ku Bing's "chrysanthemums are broken and buttocks are bruised" method of stealing silver. If Ku Bing's method of stealing silver is like ants moving, then the fineness of Ku Bing's silver alone This "hidden rule" is that the carriage moves.
But can Zhu Pingan discover this "hidden rule"?
Impossible.
The craftsmanship of the silver melting workshop is very good. With the naked eye, even a skilled old silversmith would not be able to detect the difference in the quality of the silver, let alone his young Zhu Ping'an.
But if it’s not this, then what is it?
"Zi Hou has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
Many thoughts came to Jia Lang's center for a while, but he overturned them one by one. He had no choice but to look at Zhu Pingan and made a look on his face. Come with an expression of humbly asking for advice.
"However, it's actually nothing. It's just that the door of our Taicang Bank is too dilapidated and poses a safety hazard. For the sake of safety, I suggest replacing it with an iron door, which is both fire-proof and theft-proof." Zhu Ping'an pointed out He looked at the door of the bank and said seriously.
Jia Langzhong followed Zhu Ping'an's fingers and saw that the door of the bank was indeed a bit broken. The paint on the door was peeling off and the iron sheet covering it fell off in several places. There is also a loose spot on the bronze door knocker
This warehouse door is old. Since Taicang was established in the 7th year of Zhengtong, this warehouse door has been in use until now.
However, when it comes to safety risks, this is too much to say.
I thought you saw something wrong, but I didn’t expect it to be just this Kumen? I asked you if you had lunch for lunch, and you told me that you didn't sleep well last night.
This feels like fighting with a martial arts master. You used a move "Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms", but the other party told you that fighting and killing is boring. It's better for us to recite poems and paint. Well, what do you think of this song I made, "One, two, three, four, five, go up the mountain and kill the tiger"?
Hey, Yaoyaoling, yes, it’s still the same bend, it didn’t turn over, but it fell off the cliff.
This kind of gap and high-speed turning made Jia Langzhong look like he was constipated. He coughed and nodded: "Ahem, well, what Zihou said makes sense. This The door is really old and it’s time to replace it.”
Soon, Zhu Ping'an's proposal for Taicang Yinku's door reached the ears of Zhang Guanku and others.
After hearing Zhu Pingan’s suggestion about Kumen, Zhang Guanku and others did not believe it at first.
But the official who came to deliver the message was someone Zhang Guanku could trust. Even if he had ten courages, he wouldn't dare to make this joke, so Zhang Guanku and the others couldn't help but not believe it.
Zhao Langzhong and others looked confused.
You, Zhu Pingan, are here to inspect the Taicang Bank, or are you here to make fun of me?
I asked you to inspect Taicang's silver warehouse. As a result, during your inspection, you told me that the door of our silver warehouse should be replaced. What the hell is going on?
Isn’t this a typical example of a dog trying to mess with a mouse and meddling in its own business?
You are an inspector, not from the Ministry of Industry! You check the bank, what do you care about our treasury door? You were kicked in the head by a donkey, and you don’t even know what you are doing. Aren’t you a dog meddling in other people’s business like a mouse?
Zhao Langzhong and others looked confused, and kept complaining and despising Zhu Ping'an. Only Zhang Guanku looked out the window leisurely, with a smile on his lips.
"Master Zhang, what is Zhu Ping'an doing? He came to inspect the bank under orders, but why did he take charge of our treasury door instead? Isn't he meddling in other people's business like a dog and a mouse?" Zhao Dingtian I couldn't help but complain to Zhang Guanku about Zhu Ping'an.
"Haha. The number one scholar is indeed a bit clever." Zhang Guanku smiled slightly and said something that puzzled everyone.
Smart?
Zhao Dingtian was stunned for a long time, and became even more confused. In his opinion, Zhu Ping'an was dumbfounded by the donkey lifting his head. Why did Zhang Guanku still say that Zhu Ping'an was a bit clever?
“Zhu Ping’an is trying to grab credit and leave a way out for himself.”
After a while, a treasurer suddenly thought of something, suddenly realized it, and sucked in surprise. In one breath, he blurted out.
Taking credit? The way out?
After listening to the treasurer's words, the others pondered for a moment and then suddenly realized.
"Yes, why didn't I think of that? Our Kumen is too old and in disrepair. It really needs to be replaced. This point was proposed by Zhu Pingan, and that is Zhu Pingan's contribution. ."
"Yes, he is thinking of a backup plan. Ah, once the fine iron gate is replaced, every day the Taicang bank is safe will be his contribution. This is all merit."
"But from the establishment of Taicang to the present, then. There are fires and robbers. Isn’t this unnecessary?”
"So, this kid is going crazy in order to gain merit."
"This kid is really a bit clever. He knows that nothing can be found in the inspection, but he finds a unique way to stop one for himself. It’s no small feat. Even if something happens during the inspection in the future, Zhu Ping’an will be able to escape unscathed by virtue of this achievement. At least his inspection will not be in vain.” (End of Chapter)
