Chapter 778 Become famous all over the world (5)
The gate of the Taicang Bank was opened, and there was no such thing as glittering gold and silver shining blindly. On the contrary, against the backdrop of the bright daylight outside, the inside of the bank seemed a bit dark.
At first glance, I thought I was in a prison.
But after walking in, after the eyes get used to the drop of optical fibers inside and outside the library, it doesn’t feel dark anymore.
After entering the warehouse door, there is a passage that is not too wide. On the walls on both sides of the passage, a wrist-thick candle is burning every two steps.
Going further inside is the warehouse area. Inside the warehouse are boxes stacked on shelves. When you open the boxes, there are stacks of silver ingots arranged in an orderly manner. Eyes flicker.
Theoretically speaking, each silver ingot should have a fixed weight, and the number of silver ingots in each box should be the same, so the weight of silver in each box should be the same. You only need to count the number of boxes to get The amount of gold and silver in the treasury.
However, Zhu Ping'an still insisted that Tangguan Liu and Ku Bing open every box and took out the silver and weighed it tirelessly.
Before the weighing, Zhu Pingan also checked the scales and weighed himself, which was consistent with the amount weighed in the Marquis of Linhuai Mansion before coming here. It is basically believed that the scales in the Taicang Bank have not been tampered with.
Zhu Pingan divided the warehouse soldiers into three groups, one group was responsible for opening the box to take out the silver, one group was responsible for carrying and weighing, and the other group was responsible for putting the weighed silver back into the box.
Zhu Pingan assigned a Dongchang Fanzi to supervise each group of soldiers. The Dongchang fanzi represented Emperor Jiajing, and with their participation in the supervision, the entire inventory process was as if it had been notarized, and the result had strong credibility.
After weighing a box, Zhu Pingan and Liu Tangguan recorded the numbers respectively, and each was supervised by a fan from Dongchang.
After weighing a box, Dongchang Fanzi, who is in charge of supervising the third group of soldiers, affixed a seal with a number on it. This is the seal that Zhu Pingan made in advance, from "one" to "three hundred", so that you can know how many boxes have been weighed by the number of pasting, saving you the trouble of summarizing the boxes at the end.
There are thirty boxes of silver in the first storage area, and eight boxes of silver ingots are obviously worse than the other boxes. It is not pure silver at first glance. Zhu Pingan specially marked the seals of these eight boxes of silver with a "?" , to show the difference, when recording the number, a "?" is also added at the end as a difference.
By the time the first storage area was finished, it was already noon.
Zhu Pingan asked Zhu Pingan to eat the food brought in by someone outside, but Zhu Pingan did not eat it. He was worried that someone would tamper with the food. In addition, Zhu Pingan ate a lot in the morning, just for the sake of an empty stomach at noon today. Inventory.
After lunch, the effect of inventory is much higher.
The second warehouse area is the same as the first warehouse area, with the same thirty boxes of silver, but there are ten boxes of silver in this warehouse area with deviations in color.
The third storage area also has the same 30 boxes of silver, but among them, there are 15 boxes of silver with deviations in color.
The fourth reservoir area...
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhu Ping'an and the others finally checked all the storage areas, silver vaults, and treasury.
After the inventory is completed, you can go out. As for the data, you have to organize it outside.
When leaving the bank, it is stricter than when entering the bank.
The people inside go out one by one.
The hall officials at the gate also checked one by one, very serious and responsible.
"quack~quack~"
Ku Bing came to the door, squatted down, stretched his hands, exposing his ribs, then jumped up and down twice with his legs slightly bent, clapped his hands on the top of his head, and quacked loudly like a duck.
"come out."
After jumping, he yelled and stepped over a bench in front to prove that he didn't carry silver taels.
The hall official checked the shorts of Ku Bing carefully for the last time, and then allowed Ku Bing to go out.
One
followed by one
After checking how many times, the bent official was about to check the shorts of the person who was going out, when he stretched out his hand, suddenly...
What the hell? !
what is this? !
The hall official almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, and was about to curse when he suddenly remembered Zhu Pingan before entering the warehouse.
"Master Zhu, please."
The hall official raised his waist immediately, and stretched out his hand to ask Zhu Pingan to walk out of the warehouse door.
Zhu Ping'an was not polite either, and stepped out. He didn't need this last step of inspection at all.
After stepping out of the warehouse door, Zhu Ping'an hurried to the dressing room and put on his official uniform again.
I am not an exhibitionist, I took off my clothes just now for the inventory, and naturally I have to put on clothes after the inventory is over.
The officials who watched the ceremony in the morning had already left more than half of the time. King Yu and Princess Ning'an even left early. Now there are only a dozen officials left outside.
Zhu Ping'an put on his official uniform and walked out of the dressing room. The Blood-Dripping Sword followed him, never leaving Zhu Ping'an.
"Hehe, Zihou, is the storage finished?" Zhang Guanku and others outside the door looked at Zhu Pingan with complicated expressions.
"Well, the data has been recorded, and the final statistics have not been done. Our accountant in Taicang, please come out and help with the statistics." Zhu Pingan nodded, and then showed them the rice paper full of numbers in his hand, and then Pointing to Tangguan Liu who just came out, "Tangguan Liu also has the same data in his hand."
After Liu Tangguan also changed into his clothes, Zhu Pingan followed Zhang Guanku and others to an office in the Taicang Bank, accompanied by Dripping Blood Sword and other Dongchang followers.
Soon, five senior accountants in Taicang, including "Ghost Hand Zhang", were also invited in. They walked into the room, and after saluting, "Ghost Hand Zhang" set his sights on Zhu Ping'an, and looked at this very young The sixth-rank official of the empire, with pride and contempt in his eyes.
This is the confidence of the accountant at the top of the pyramid.
If you talk about stereotyped articles, "Ghost Hand Zhang" knows that he is not as good as Zhu Pingan, but when it comes to accounting statistics, "Ghost Hand Zhang" has ten thousand reasons to be proud. One hand account, but also can throw Zhu Ping'an a street.
After the accountant arrived, Zhu Pingan didn't say much, but simply said that he asked Tangguan Liu to hand over the data he had counted to the accountant, and they would count which piece of data Tangguan Liu had, and he would count the data in his own hand. Zhang data.
The two pieces of data are the same. After the statistics are completed, check whether the statistical results are consistent.
