Although Master Jian Zheng, the Shaofu Supervisor, was extremely upset when he saw the huge amount of gold and silver in front of him, but he could not move it to his warehouse because of the emperor's order.
However, he still did not dare to be careless about the emperor's orders.
As soon as he left the palace gate, he immediately asked the palace staff to prepare the special vehicle for pulling money, and then personally went to the treasury to sign and pledge, withdraw a huge amount of bond money, and put it in a special box.
Once everything was ready, the palace supervisor climbed on his horse and rushed to the bank with the support of a group of palace guards.
However, just when the motorcade was about to arrive at the palace gate, Lord Jianzheng hesitated again.
Holding the reins and thinking again and again, he finally let out a long sigh, jumped off the horse, handed the special box containing the bills in his arms to the commander of the guards, and returned to the palace with three steps at a time.
Of course, it wasn't that he suddenly thought of some important official business that needed to be dealt with. It was actually... He was afraid that when he arrived at the scene and saw so much money, he would not be able to control himself...
The palace door slowly opened, and a group of palace guards escorted a long motorcade out of the east side door. Horse hooves rushed all the way, driving the carriage almost into the air, and galloped towards the bank!
When the people along the road saw them from a distance, they all hurriedly moved to both sides of the road for fear of bumping into these fierce guards.
If he was accidentally knocked down, they would not care about the medical expenses, but maybe he would be taken to the government office and given a whip.
On the street where pedestrians were ducking in droves, the long motorcade was moving so fast that it didn't even take more than half an hour before the large vehicle had already entered the alley in the backyard of the bank.
Of course, the main reason why we arrived so quickly was that the bank was indeed quite close to the palace.
At this time, on the second floor of the bank, Xiao Han had just been welcomed into a quiet room to drink tea by shopkeeper Liu, when he heard a sound of people shouting and neighing from behind!
Shopkeeper Liu was so frightened that he jumped three feet in the air like a frightened rabbit. He didn't even bother to say hello and ran downstairs.
"Eh? What's wrong?" Ziyi frowned when he heard the noise, walked to the window and looked towards the backyard of the building.
In the backyard, the solid door has been opened at this time, and large cars are filing in from the outside. Fortunately, the bank's backyard is very large, otherwise it would be impossible to turn around with so many large cars coming in.
"Is this the money truck coming?" Xiao Han also walked around from his seat at this moment, naturally wrapping one hand around Zi Yi's slender waist, and looking down as well.
"Yeah!" Ziyi felt the big hand on her waist, and her pretty face immediately turned red, but thinking that there was no one else in the room, she let Xiao Han wrap her around.
"What that person is holding is a bond, right?" Xiao Han didn't notice Ziyi's shy look. His eyes at this time were all focused on the person dressed as a palace guard.
And this man was holding a wooden box tightly in his arms, which looked like he was holding a time bomb. He was nervously walking downstairs, guarded by a group of accomplices.
"That should be it!" Ziyi also saw the man, and curiously looked at the box in his hand with his wonderful eyes.
Talk about it.
Although this national bond was proposed, planned, and finally issued, Xiao Han was involved in almost the entire process.
But except for making a few suggestions, Xiao Han never had any involvement in the production of this bond, so until now, Ziyi doesn't know what this bond looks like or what's special about it.
This is because Xiao Han himself knows very well: in such a confidential matter as bond issuance, one person absolutely cannot handle everything, nor can he know all the secrets!
He didn't want to be like the craftsmen who made bonds in the palace and be trapped in a tiny place all his life, living a life of "treating money as wasteland" every day.
The two people upstairs watched quietly as the head guard held the box and moved to a room in the backyard. Shopkeeper Liu followed him in like a dog whose tail had been stepped on.
After the two figures disappeared into the room, Xiao Han turned back to his seat thoughtfully, sipping the tea in his cup.
This tea is very good. It is said that the Xiao family caravan found it near Longjing Village in West Lake. Before the Qingming Festival every year, they pick the earliest and tenderest batch of tea buds and fry it. The price is as good as gold!
I don’t know if it was brought out specifically to entertain him, or if all guests can enjoy this kind of tea.
While Xiao Han was sipping tea, the hustle and bustle of those waiting in line in the front yard downstairs gradually became louder again. It seemed that the news of the arrival of the palace carriage must have spread.
"I said to the shopkeeper, everyone is here, why are you still working quickly?"
"You guys are not salty fish, so you don't have time to hang out here!"
"Everyone, wait, wait, it will be ready soon..."
The second shopkeeper in the bank was sweating profusely, trying his best to calm the restless crowd outside. From time to time, he would wipe his sweat and sneak a glance behind him.
Just when the poor second shopkeeper felt that he was about to have enough, the door to the backyard room was finally opened again.
This time, the tall guard leader walked out first. Judging from his expression, it was as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
Shopkeeper Liu followed closely behind, but his round, fat face was full of sorrow.
"Don't be impatient, be impatient! Let's continue with the business." He ran all the way from the backyard to the lobby. When he saw Xiao Han on the second floor looking down at him, shopkeeper Liu still struggled to squeeze towards Xiao Han upstairs.
Make a smile.
Then he walked into the high counter, stood inside and shouted to the waiter at the door: "Guests please come in one by one, don't be crowded!"
"I, I came first! Let me in!"
As soon as Shopkeeper Liu finished speaking, there was an explosion at the door. A tall man with a beard and a strong body suddenly squeezed the thin old man at the front behind him.
When the man who maintained order saw this, he originally wanted to say something, but when the big man glared at him, he immediately closed his mouth and let him in first.
Hey, let whoever goes in first not go in? Why bother yourself?
So, under the eyes of everyone who were either envious or angry, the big man successfully squeezed into the bank.
"Jiangnan Weaving Chen Family! Subscribe for 180,000 yuan!"
The man strode up to Weird, put his hands on his hips, looked up at the high counter and shouted: "I've prepared all the money, and it's just waiting outside. You just need to count it! If there is a penny missing,
I’ll eat that car for you!”
"Eating the car too? I can't support you to death!"
"Humph, I think he hasn't had breakfast and is planning to come here to eat!"
As soon as the big man finished speaking, the crowd queuing outside immediately burst into laughter. The man's face turned red and he couldn't help gritting his teeth and staring behind him: "Who, that turtle boy is making such nonsense? If you have the ability, come out and tell your grandfather face to face.
!”
Those who can come here today are basically prominent figures in the business world. How can they be scared away by just one word? So as soon as the big man finished speaking, there was another round of booing outside: "I told you, grandpa, if you have the ability, come out."
!”
"Should I go out? Hum, I'm not that stupid! Won't it be easier for you bastards if I go out?"
