Chapter 774: Become famous all over the world (1)
“Haha, as soon as this warehouse door is changed, Taicang can sit back and relax.”
“Yes, yes. This is a piece of iron. Gate, even if a bandit enters Taicang, facing the Kumen, he will No way. Master Zhu’s move is considered to be of great merit.”
While the craftsmen were replacing the door of Taicang Bank, several officials whom Zhu Ping’an didn’t know came around with enthusiasm. With unexpected enthusiasm, they gathered around Zhu Ping'an and exchanged greetings with smiles and congratulations.
For a time, Zhu Ping'an was surrounded by seven or eight officials and couldn't escape.
While these officials were surrounding Zhu Pingan, Zhang Guanku and Jia Langzhong from Taicang came to Yan Shifan and whispered for a moment, and then left quietly.
After a while, Jia Langzhong and Zhao Langzhong from Taicang and more than ten officials who came to watch the ceremony quietly left the crowd and appeared in a secluded place in Taicang.
"From what I see from Zhu Ping'an's attitude, he must be counting the gold and silver in the bank as soon as the door is replaced." Sun Guanchen, a foreign minister from the Ministry of Industry, glanced at the officials in Taicang and said.
Sun Guanchen, a foreign minister from the Ministry of Industry, was a popular figure in front of Yan Shifan and one of the vested interests in Taicang. He received thousands of taels of silver from Taicang every year.
"Yes, now think about it, Zhu Ping'an's request to replace the Kumen is not just as simple as grabbing credit." Zeng Disheng, the doctor of the household department, nodded, his face a bit serious.
"I heard that when Zhu Ping'an was inspecting the account books, he went out of his way to meet the emperor and invited people from Dongchang. What is he going to do?!"
"My right eyelid keeps twitching"
Several other officials also spoke one after another, with lingering fears and uneasiness on their faces.
"Don't worry, sirs. Every year, officials come to inspect Taicang. Every year, everything goes smoothly, and this time is no different." Jia Langzhong smiled slightly and comforted the officials.
“I wonder how prepared Taicang is?” Sun Guanchen asked.
"Don't worry, sir. As in previous years, our Taicang officials and warehouse soldiers enter and count the amount of gold and silver in the warehouse. Our Taicang officials and warehouse soldiers are all experienced and well-trained, and they guarantee that the amount of gold and silver will be counted." There is no mistake. As for the amount, haha, it is exactly the same as the amount on the account book," Jia Langzhong replied meaningfully with a smile.
He hinted very clearly that it was the Taicang official who entered the warehouse to count the gold and silver. The result of the count was naturally exactly the same as what was on the books, and there was absolutely no possibility of anything going wrong.
“Due to the closure of the warehouse a few days ago, Zhang Guanku was worried that the work of the hall officials and warehouse soldiers would be neglected. Yesterday, he specially asked us to gather the hall officials, warehouse soldiers, and accountants together to learn the Taicang regulations. The inventory matters have been arranged." Jia Langzhong added specifically, implying that they had already given instructions to the hall officials, warehouse soldiers, accountants, etc. yesterday to ensure that there would be no problems with the inventory today.
"What if Zhu Ping'an insists on entering the warehouse for inventory?" Dr. Tobe asked.
Taicang's Jia Langzhong and Zhao Langzhong couldn't help laughing when they heard this, "If Zhu Ping'an wants to enter, then we have to show him the Taicang regulations. The regulations stipulate that anyone who enters or exits the bank must But you have to take off your clothes, only wear a pair of crotch pants, and you have to undergo inspection. Can Zhu Pingan do it? ”
Yes, people have one face, and trees have one skin. Especially scholars pay the most attention to etiquette, justice and integrity.
The so-called parents who have affected the body, hair and skin take off their clothes in public. This is equivalent to being stripped and paraded in the street. This is a great shame and humiliation! If that scholar was stripped of his clothes and paraded through the streets, nine times out of ten he would be so embarrassed that he would hit a pillar and commit suicide. Scholars can be killed, but not humiliated!
Especially those who are officials.
What matters is reputation. If you have a good reputation, you can be promoted to a higher position, and everyone will play with you. If you have a bad reputation, your career is over.
Who can take off his clothes and wear crotchless pants in public? Are you still shameless? Are you still alive? Do you still want to be an official?
You want to go into the bank, right? !
Okay, take it off!
The saliva will drown you!
I’m so embarrassed by pointing fingers!
Hahaha, why are so many officials invited to watch the ceremony? Officials from the six ministries, various yamen, Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and Hanlin Academy also came. Haha, if something interesting happens today, I dare not say anything else. Half of the officialdom will definitely know about it the next day, and the entire officialdom will know about it on the third day. Talking about it.
After listening to the words of Taicang Jia Langzhong and others, Sun Guanchen, Zeng Dichen and others couldn't help but smile, and the uneasiness in their hearts disappeared.
"Besides, even if Zhu Ping'an can do it and go in wearing crotch pants, crotch pants can still hide things. If the amount of gold and silver in the bank does not match the account book, then it's up to us It doesn't matter, I can only find him Zhu Pingan. You know, before Zhu Pingan takes stock, there is not a penny in gold and silver in the bank. Yes, why does Zhu Pingan have less gold and silver after just one inventory? So, if there is a lot of gold and silver, it is naturally the best; if there is less, then it is Zhu Pingan's problem, which is not the case with us. It doesn’t matter.”
Jia Langzhong and Zhao Langzhong laughed sinisterly as they spoke, their eyes narrowed into a thin line.
It would be best if he, Zhu Ping'an, does not enter the bank inventory. In this way, if the Taicang official enters the bank inventory, the amount in the bank bank will naturally be consistent with the account book; if Zhu Ping'an goes in, it doesn't matter. If the amount is the same as the account book, then nothing will happen. If there is something missing, it is Zhu Ping'an who secretly kept it secretly
Anyway, no matter what, it is foolproof.
Since it's foolproof, there's no need to worry.
When Sun Guanchen and other officials watching the ceremony heard this, the corners of their mouths also filled with a relaxed arc. The gloom that covered their hearts swept away, and they suddenly became bright and cheerful.
After that, Jia Langzhong discussed some specific details with Sun Guanchen and others, such as asking everyone present not to leave after replacing the warehouse door; what everyone said when Zhu Pingan spoke, etc.
After the discussion was settled, Jia Langzhong returned to the bank to continue watching the ceremony.
The officials surrounding Zhu Pingan stopped greeting Zhu Pingan when they saw that Jia Langzhong and others had returned.
When the officials surrounding him began to disperse, Zhu Ping'an was still in a confused state.
I originally thought these officials were here to trick me.
As a result, those officials whom I had never met before gathered around me and had an awkward conversation, from the Kumen to the Analects of Confucius, and from the Analects of Confucius to the birthday peach at the 80th birthday banquet of Mr. Wang, the Minister of Civil Affairs before he retired. Is it delicious?
Crazy!
Zhu Pingan was full of slander.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
Zhu Ping'an was wary, and then pretended to be nonchalant, paying attention to every move of the departing officials with his peripheral vision, and then noticed Taicang Jia Langzhong who had just returned, and felt relieved. I guess those officials just now The reason why they surrounded themselves was to provide cover for Taicang Jia Langzhong and others.
Avoid yourself.
Then, Jia Langzhong and others must have gone away to discuss how to deal with their own inventory.
What would you do if you were them?
Zhu Ping'an thought for a moment, then twitched his lips, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you." (End of this chapter)
