Chapter 774 Become famous all over the world (1)

"Hehe, once the warehouse door is changed, Taicang can rest easy."

"Yes, yes. This is an iron gate. Even if some bandits enter Taicang and face the Kumen, he will do nothing. Master Zhu's actions are worthy of immeasurable merit."

When the craftsmen were replacing the gate of the Taicang Bank, several officials that Zhu Pingan didn't know surrounded him with enthusiasm. They were unexpectedly enthusiastic and greeted Zhu Pingan with smiles and congratulations.

In a short time, Zhu Ping'an was surrounded by seven or eight officials, unable to escape.

While these officials surrounded Zhu Pingan, Zhang Guanku and Jia Langzhong from Taicang came to Yan Shifan and whispered for a while, and then left quietly.

A moment later, Jia Langzhong and Zhao Langzhong from Taicang and more than a dozen officials who came to watch the ceremony quietly left the crowd and appeared in a secluded place in Taicang.

"I think Zhu Ping'an's attitude is that he must count the gold and silver in the silver vault as soon as the warehouse door is replaced." Sun Guanchen, a member of the Ministry of Industry, glanced at the officials in Taicang and said.

Wailang Sun Guanchen, a member of the Ministry of Industry, is a celebrity in front of Yan Shifan and one of the vested interests in Taicang. He can get thousands of taels of silver from Taicang every year.

"Yes, think about it now, isn't it as simple as Zhu Ping'an's request to replace the Kumen, is it not as simple as stealing merit?" Zeng Disheng, a household doctor, nodded, with a serious face.

"I heard that when Zhu Pingan inspected the account books, he specially interviewed the saint and invited people from the East Factory to come. What is he going to do?!"

"My right eyelid keeps twitching"

Several other officials also spoke one after another, with lingering fear and anxiety on their faces.

"Don't worry, my lords, every year officials come to inspect Taicang, every year is safe and sound, and this time is the same." Jia Langzhong smiled and comforted the officials.

"I wonder how Taicang is preparing?" Sun Guanchen asked.

"Don't worry, my lord. Just like in previous years, the amount of gold and silver in the warehouse is checked by our officials and soldiers in Taicang. Our officials and soldiers in Taicang are experienced and well-trained. There is no mistake. As for the amount, hehe, of course it is exactly the same as the amount in the account book." Jia Langzhong replied meaningfully with a slight smile.

He hinted very clearly that it was the Tang officials in Taicang who went into the warehouse to count the gold and silver. The result of the counting was naturally exactly the same as the book, and there was absolutely no problem.

"Because the warehouse was closed a few days ago, Zhang Guanku was worried that the business of the hall officials and the warehouse soldiers would be neglected. Yesterday, we specially asked us to gather the hall officials, warehouse soldiers, and accountants, studied the laws and regulations of Taicang, and arranged the inventory matters. Well." Jia Langzhong deliberately added another sentence, 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.

"Then what if Zhu Ping'an insists on going into the warehouse for inventory?" Hubu Langzhong asked.

Jia Langzhong and Zhao Langzhong from Taicang couldn't help laughing when they heard the words, "If Zhu Ping'an wants to enter, then we have to show the Taicang law, which stipulates that anyone who enters or exits the bank must take off his clothes." , only a pair of crotch trousers are allowed, and he still needs to be inspected. Can he, Zhu Pingan, do it?"

Yes, a person lives with a face, and a tree lives with a skin, especially scholars are the most particular about etiquette, integrity and shame.

The so-called body, hair, and skin of the parents, **** in public, is equivalent to being stripped and paraded in the street. This is a shame and a shame! If that scholar was stripped of his clothes and paraded through the streets, nine out of ten he would commit suicide by throwing himself against a pillar in embarrassment.

Especially, officials.

What matters is reputation. If you have a good reputation, you can be promoted to a noble, and everyone will play with you. If you have a bad reputation, your career is over.

Under the public, who can take off their clothes and wear a loincloth? Are you still shameless? Are you still alive? Do you still want to be an official?

You're going into the bank, aren't you? !

Okay, you take off!

Spit stars will drown you!

Pointing and pointing, shame on you!

Hehehe, why are so many officials invited to watch the ceremony? Officials from the six ministries, various yamen, Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and the Hanlin Academy also came. Hehe, if something interesting happens today, I dare not say anything else. Half of the officialdom will 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 laughing, and the uneasiness in their hearts was swept away.

"Besides, even if Zhu Ping'an can do it by wearing crotch pants, the crotch pants can still hide things. If the amount of gold and silver in the treasury does not match the account books, then it has nothing to do with us. We can only find He is Zhu Pingan. You know, before Zhu Ping’an’s treasury, the gold and silver in the silver treasury were not a penny. Why did the gold and silver decrease after Zhu Ping’an’s treasury alone. So, If there is a lot of gold and silver, it is naturally the best; if there is less, it is Zhu Ping'an's problem, and it has nothing to do with us."

Jia Langzhong, Zhao Langzhong and others laughed sinisterly as they talked, their eyes narrowed into a line.

It would be best for him, Zhu Pingan, not to enter the treasury, so that if the Tang officials from Taicang enter the treasury, the amount in the treasury will naturally be the same as the account book; if Zhu Pingan goes in, it doesn't matter, since the amount in the treasury is the same as the account book, it will be natural It's all right, if it's missing, it's because Zhu Ping'an hid it secretly.

Anyway, no matter what, it is foolproof.

Since everything is safe, there is no need to worry.

Sun Guanchen and other officials watching the ceremony heard the words, and the corners of their mouths were also filled with relaxed arcs. The haze covering their hearts was swept away, and they suddenly became bright and cheerful.

After that, Jia Langzhong, Sun Guanchen and others discussed some specific details, such as asking everyone present not to leave after replacing the warehouse door; what did everyone say when Zhu Pingan opened his mouth, and so on.

After the discussion, Jia Langzhong and the others continued to observe the ceremony before returning to the bank.

All the officials surrounding Zhu Ping'an stopped greeting Zhu Ping'an when they saw that Jia Langzhong and the others had returned.

When the officials surrounding him began to disperse, Zhu Ping'an still looked puzzled.

At first, I thought these officials were trying to tell their own story.

As a result, those officials who had never seen each other surrounded me and chatted awkwardly, from Kumen to the Analects, from the Analects to whether the birthday peaches at the 80th birthday banquet of the former Minister of the Ministry of Officials were delicious.

are you crazy!

Zhu Ping'an slandered endlessly in his heart.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon.

Zhu Pingan was vigilant in his heart, and then pretended to be nonchalant, paying attention to every move of the departing officials from the corner of his eye, and then noticed the Taicang Jia Langzhong and others who had just returned, and was relieved in his heart. It is estimated that the officials surrounded him just now for the sake of Cover for Taicang Jia Langzhong and others.

Avoid yourself.

Then, Jia Langzhong and the others must have run away to discuss how to deal with their inventory.

If you were them, what would you do?

Zhu Ping'an pondered for a moment, then twitched the corners of his mouth, sorry, I'm afraid I will disappoint you.
