After a quiet night, Bai Yan personally took Du Zhi and his gang to escort Jin out of the city in the early morning.
The soldiers guarding the city just checked and let them go.
Isn't it normal for banks to transport large amounts of gold?
Ah San and others looked remorseful. When they transported the gold before, they spent a lot of effort and used several groups of people.
If you find a bank earlier, you won't have to worry so much.
After leaving the city, the group of people followed the official road towards Pingxian County.
Different from Lucheng, Ping County is southwest of Yanzhou City, in exactly two directions.
Because it was broad daylight and the journey was not far, everyone felt at ease and talked and laughed along the way.
Half a day passed quickly, and the group entered Ping County in a big way.
Compared with Yanzhou City, Pingxian County is much more dilapidated, and there are still many places damaged by the war that have not been restored.
The people outside the city are also poorer, and the straw sandals on many people's feet are broken.
Compared with the outside of the city, the inside of the city is much better, but it is still relative.
"The people in Ping County are really poor." Bai Yan sighed.
"We have been fighting for years and all life has been devastated. It's good to be alive. Compared with the Central Plains and Jiangnan, the people in the North are indeed poorer." Ah San asked curiously: "Young Master Bai grew up in the North. You should see him often.
Why are there so many emotions today?"
"Because I have money." Bai Yan responded with a smile.
Ah San:???
You are the eldest son of a bank, so you are naturally rich. Do you need to show it off everywhere?
Bai Yan knew that Ah San had misunderstood, and said with a smile: "I am talking about the money today. If such a large amount of gold is distributed to the people of Ping County, the people's lives will be improved a lot."
"Bai Yan, what do you want to do?" Ah San looked at Bai Yan warily.
This money is not yours, so don't do anything wrong with it.
If the military pay is really lost and cannot be recovered, he will also lose his head.
Many of his previous calculations were actually against Bai Yan without losing the gold, and the gold could still be recovered.
If Bai Yan goes crazy and gives all the gold to the people, he will never get it back.
"I'm thinking that you all have military backgrounds, so you must have been on the battlefield, killed enemies, and protected your home. I guess you will feel heartbroken when you see the home you protect like this, right?" Bai Yan said.
Several strong men were stunned for a moment and fell into deep thought.
Yes, they are all soldiers and have been passionate. Although they came to kill Bai Yan, at this moment, they also had a good impression of Bai Yan.
"We just do our best and obey fate. We will do our best. What happens to the people in the world is not something you and I can decide," Ah San said.
His instinct told him that Bai Yan was going to cause trouble.
"Yeah, let's just try our best, so I have an immature idea and want to discuss it with a few elder brothers." Bai Yan said.
Just stop talking about your immature thoughts, okay? Ah San rolled her eyes.
He didn't want to hear it, but he had no reason to refuse, so he had no choice but to agree.
"Brother Ah San, this is what I think. We have so much money, why can't we help the people? This can be regarded as our contribution to Ping County. How about we use one hundred taels of gold to help everyone?
I don’t need you to come up with this, I’ll do it alone. It’s just that the contract hasn’t been signed yet, so just let the elder brothers have no objections.” Bai Yan looked sincere.
"So that's what happened. Master Bai's kind heart, how could I refuse? It's just that there is so much gold, if it is opened on the street, something will happen. If someone has evil intentions and robs the gold, wouldn't we have harmed them?
?" Ah San responded.
"Then after the gold is put into the treasury, I will take out another hundred taels of gold and exchange it for broken silver. How about giving it in public? Then I will have to trouble a few elder brothers to join me." Bai Yan said.
"Don't worry, Master Bai. How can we refuse such a face-saving thing?" Ah San responded with a smile.
He doesn't mind showing his face.
As long as the gold is safely deposited into the warehouse, it will be fine.
After walking two more streets, Bai Yan pointed ahead and said: "Ahead is my Bai family's bank. The gold will be transported there, and our cooperation will be completed."
Ah San nodded.
This place is remote and the street is not too prosperous. It is a good choice for the Bai family to place their warehouse here.
But before the group of people could reach the bank gate, a carriage suddenly blocked the way.
Ah San frowned slightly and looked at Bai Yan. Bai Yan also frowned slightly and looked forward dissatisfied.
"Who is this person?" Ah San asked dissatisfiedly.
"The boss of Wanqian Bank is our family's mortal enemy. Not long ago, I tricked him twice and made his son stay in a cell for a few days. This guy has a grudge." Bai Yan responded.
Ah San nodded, he thought it was Bai Yan who did it.
"Master Bai, what a coincidence, we can meet here." Ma Wencai walked out of the car with a smile on his face.
"Boss Ma, don't you know whether it's a coincidence or not?" Bai Yan said angrily.
"Maybe not. I just came to Ping County not long ago, and you came here. Master Bai, I, Ma Wencai, are almost made to cry by you. I don't think you even bother to follow one of my defeated generals, right?"
Wencai responded with a smile.
"Ma Wencai, don't be disgusting here. If you have anything to say, just say it or get out of the way." Bai Yan scolded.
"Master Bai, please be patient. Maybe you don't know, right? This boss and I are friends." Ma Wencai pointed at Ah San and said.
Ah San was eating melon when it happened to him, and he was immediately dissatisfied.
"This boss, when have we met?"
"Boss, didn't we meet yesterday? I felt uneasy at that time, so I rejected you. I showed up today not to cause trouble, but because I regret it. Otherwise, you should deposit this gold in my bank.
?Interest and other things are easy to talk about." Ma Wencai still smiled.
Ah San was getting more and more angry. This man was telling lies with his eyes open, and he was really thick-skinned.
He knew what Ma Wencai wanted, but when these words fell into Bai Yan's ears, Bai Yan would inevitably feel resentful.
When he was about to scold him, Bai Yan scolded him first: "Ma Wencai, you are getting thicker and thicker. Your warehouse is empty. If a large sum of gold really comes into your account, you can't ask for it, and you will refuse it? Stop acting here.
This gold belongs to our Bai family, so get out of the way quickly."
Ah San breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Bai Yan was smart enough and didn't doubt him.
"Bai Yan, if this person hadn't come to the door, how would I have known that the car contained ten thousand taels of gold? Bai Yan, who of your men wouldn't be on guard against me? I want to get some information from your home.
No, how do you know this?" Ma Wencai remained calm.
