Chapter seven hundred and seventieth one off to become famous all over the world (1)
"Haha, once this warehouse door is replaced, Taicang will be able to sit back and relax."
"Yes, yes. This is an iron gate. Even if a bandit enters Taicang and faces the Treasury Gate, he can't do anything. Master Zhu's move should be regarded as a great merit."
When the craftsmen were replacing the door of the Taicang silver warehouse, several officials whom Zhu Pingan did not know gathered around him with enthusiasm. With unexpected enthusiasm, they surrounded Zhu Pingan and exchanged greetings with smiles and congratulations.
For a time, Zhu Ping'an was surrounded by seven or eight officials and could not escape.
While these officials were surrounding Zhu Ping'an, Taicang's Zhang Guanku and Jia Langzhong came to Yan Shifan and whispered for a moment, and then left quietly.
After a while, Taicang's Jia Langzhong, Zhao Langzhong and more than ten officials who came to watch the ceremony quietly left the crowd and appeared in a secluded place in Taicang.
"Looking at the attitude of Zhu Ping'an, 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 among 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 Ministry of Finance, nodded, his face a bit serious.
"I heard that Zhu Ping'an went out of his way to interview the saint and invited people from Dongchang to come when he was auditing the account books. 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. Just like in previous years, our Taicang officials and warehouse soldiers enter the warehouse and count the amount of gold and silver. 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 naturally the same as the amount on the account book." Jia Langzhong smiled slightly and replied meaningfully.
He made it very clear that the person who entered the warehouse to count the gold and silver was the Taicang official. The results of the count were naturally exactly the same as those on the books, and there was absolutely no possibility of any problems.
"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 accounting offices. We studied Taicang regulations and arranged the inventory matters.
"Here." Jia Langzhong added specifically, implying that they had given instructions to the court 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.
When Jia Langzhong and Zhao Langzhong of Taicang heard this, they couldn't help but laugh, "If Zhu Ping'an wants to come in, then we have to show him the Taicang regulations. The regulations stipulate that anyone who enters or exits the bank must take off his clothes."
, can Zhu Pingan do it while only wearing a pair of crotchless pants and having to undergo inspection?"
Yes, a person has a face, and a tree has a bark. 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, which 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 in the street, nine times out of ten, he would hit a pillar in shame.
, 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 will be over.
In public, who can take off their clothes and wear crotchless pants? 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 to point at you!
Hahaha, why are so many officials invited to watch the ceremony? Officials from the six ministries, various yamen, Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and Hanlin Academy are also here. Haha, if something interesting happens today, I dare not say anything else. The next day
Half of the officialdom will definitely know about it, and the entire officialdom will be talking about it on the third day.
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 Pingan 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 has nothing to do with us and we can only find it.
Zhu Ping'an is gone. You must know that before Zhu Ping'an takes stock, the gold and silver in the bank is not much. Why is there less gold and silver after Zhu Ping's taking stock? 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 and has nothing to do with us."
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 Taicang's court official enters the bank inventory, the amount in the bank bank will naturally be consistent with the account book.
It's okay. If there's anything missing, it's 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 turned relaxed. The gloom that covered their hearts swept away, and they suddenly became bright and cheerful.
Afterwards, Jia Langzhong, Sun Guanchen and others discussed some specific details, 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 Lang and others 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, officials who had never met him gathered around him and had an awkward conversation, ranging from the Kumen to the Analects of Confucius, and from the Analects of Confucius to whether the longevity peaches at the 80th birthday banquet of Mr. Wang, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, were delicious.
are you crazy!
Zhu Ping'an was full of curses in his heart.
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. He probably thought that those officials just surrounded him just because of
Let's 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 to disappoint you."
