It’s a pity, there’s still so much left to eat.”
Zhu Pingan burped, touched his full stomach, swept a glance at the meal on the table, then stared at Taicang Langzhong Zhao Dingtian, lamenting with a face of pity.
What the hell are you looking at me for, why are you staring at me, can’t you change the person ah, I’ve just stuffed seven or eight slices of big fat meat slices hard, hard to dunk two bowls of pimple soup, I’m damn before I’ve already eaten enough, and then eat the old man will vomit.
When Zhao Dingtian saw Zhu Pingan’s eyes, his stomach retched.
Zhu Pingan is still enthusiastic, all in the eyes, seems to see Zhao Dingtian so big a person, how to only eat so little ah.
On the side of the Jia Langzhong under the table, quietly kicked Zhao Dingtian, gave Zhao Dingtian a look.
Zhang Guancu, who was at the head of the table, also looked at Zhao Dingtian in a “kind” manner.
Still eating?
Zhao Dingtian was on the verge of tears, but with a “touched” and “I can still eat” expression on his face, he continued to dislike the food on the table and ate it with a “fragrance”.
Finally ate to cover his mouth, left the table and quickly ran to the dining room outside, leaning over the remote corner, vomiting in a mess……
Of course, this scene in the dining room can not see, also can not hear ……
After Zhao Dingtian left the table, Zhu Pingan again turned his ardent gaze to Jia Langzhong ……
Don’t you look at me, don’t you look at me ……The other people at the table were afraid that Zhu Ping An’s “enthusiastic” gaze would look at them, as if Zhu Ping An was a broom star, and they all felt a terrible stomach ache as bystanders after the “tragic situation” of Bone-setter Zhao just now. ……
They have just been in the “late-night canteen” mountain treasures and sea food full, and they are accustomed to eating mountain treasures and sea food, these cabbages and tofu for them is simply tasted like a jennifer’s wax, know that “from the frugal into the extravagant easy, from the extravagant into the frugal difficult” na.
But fortunately, Zhu Pingan’s “enthusiasm” came to an end after Jia Langzhong, which made the others at the table breathe a sigh of relief.
After lunch, Zhang Guanku ordered people to pack out a room for Zhu Pingan to rest for a while and take a lunch break.
For Zhang’s goodwill, Zhu Pingan naturally refused, I’m here to audit the Taicang Silver Depository, to sleep where can’t sleep ah, why should I sleep in the Taicang Silver Depository. If the word gets out that he is inspecting the Taicang Silver Depot, the first thing to do is to eat, the second thing to do is to sleep,…….Then what would you become? You would be laughed at behind your back for being a pig.
A pig, audit Taicang silver warehouse?
What a joke.
After all, people are more preconceived ideas, this kind of argument if the outside spread, no matter how he audited Taicang silver warehouse, it is also in vain, who believe a pig audit results it.
Concerning the issue of principle, Zhu Pingan always like to take the initiative, draw the line between right and wrong, not to cross the minefield one step.
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, that’s what it says.
“Young officials nowadays, like Zi Hou who is so dedicated to his errand, are really rare. You nah, all of you should usually learn more from Zi Hou, be more attentive to your errands, and do a good job on the errands you are responsible for.”Zhang Guancu highly praised Zhu Pingan and took the opportunity to whisper to the subordinate officials of Taicang.
At first, Zhang Guanku called Zhu Pingan Zhu Ta-Jen, but now after a meal, he used Zi Hou to address Zhu Pingan.
Although it was only a change in address, the relationship had indeed advanced a lot.
“Definitely definitely ……”The people nodded their heads and promised, a positive image of being united as one.
“Let’s put it this way, first let Jia Langzhong take Zi Hou for a walk around Taicang to get a general understanding of Taicang before we start the auditing work, what do you think Zi Hou?”Zhang Guancu smiled slightly, turned his gaze to Zhu Pingan and asked.
“Everything is at the disposal of Lord Zhang.”
Zhu Pingan hooked his lips and arched his hand back.
Zhu Pingan was so sensible, the Taicang people were naturally very satisfied.
“Since that’s the case, then I’ll trouble Langzhong Jia.”Zhang Guancu nodded with a slight smile before turning his gaze towards Bone-setter Jia.
“Lord Zhang is wrong, what’s the trouble, I’ve long heard of Zi Hou Scholar’s great name, I’ve never had the chance to see it, today Lord Zhang and Zi Hou gave me this opportunity, I’m too happy to be happy, hehe, Lord Zhu please follow me, what about this Taicang Silver Vault, I can’t be any more familiar with it, I will definitely bring Lord Zhu to take a good look at it and make sure that he won’t miss even a single corner. ”
Jia Langzhong smiled and asked for help, reaching out his hand and making a please gesture to Zhu Pingan.
“In that case, I will trouble Bone-setter Jia.”Zhu Pingan arched his hand and thanked Bone-setter Jia before arching his hand again and bidding farewell to Zhang Guanku and the others.
“No trouble, no trouble.”Bone-setter Jia smiled back and led the way in front, “Zi Hou, this way please.”
The Taicang Silver Vault Depot Area covers an area of hundreds of acres, the size is almost 3/4 or so of an ordinary university campus, it’s a large area.
Of course, this is only the silver vault storage area, the Taicang grain depot is even bigger, dozens or even more than a hundred times the size of the silver vault, there are more than seven hundred Taicang grain depots in Tongzhou alone.
The Taicang silver warehouse depot area was separate from the Taicang grain warehouse, armour war, cotton and linen, pigments, money and banknotes, based on security considerations.
“Zi Hou, this Taicang Silver Depot of the Ministry of Revenue was established in the seventh year of Zhengtong, specialising in the storage of gold and silver, and together with the Chang Ying Depot of the Imperial Servants’ Temple, the Jie Shen Depot of the Ministry of Public Works, and the Silver Depot of the Temple of Light and Lu, together they make up the silver depots of our Great Ming. Of course, the Ministry of households of the Taicang silver bank is the most important, when the establishment of the Taicang silver bank is mainly to bear the military expenditure, of course, now it is different, first of all, to bear is the nine side of the annual regulations, that is, the issue of Taicang silver in order to help the nine side of the single is not a small amount, Zhengtong, Jingtai years but more than 100,000 taels, to the Hongzhi, Zhengde years when the number of years to the increase to the four hundred thousand taels, and now, every year is at leastNow, every year is at least sixty or seventy million taels, more often more than a million taels are not ……Plus the nine sides of the extra recovery, and hundreds of thousands of taels. Last year, but the same town, but the same town, it was more than seven hundred thousand taels!”
Jia Langzhong led Zhu Pingan around the Taicang Silver Vault storage area while telling Zhu Pingan about the beginning of the Taicang Silver Vault, the current situation and so on.
Zhu Pingan was a good listener, listening with his ears, returning a “hmm”, “ah”, etc. from time to time, with a serious listening attitude.
“Next is the official salary and military pay, the so-called ‘public and marquis uncle rice folded silver, in the capital civil and military officials and the capital inside and outside the guards folded salary’, this item down, now about 700,000 taels per year, and is increasing trend.”
“There is also the supply of the inner government, since His Holiness succeeded to the throne, not counting the day before yesterday when His Holiness decreed that ‘200,000 taels be allocated to make Tao Tianshi perform the Anshen ceremony at Jianyuanyue on Wudang Mountain,’ more than a million taels of silver have been taken from the Taicang and put into the inner government coffers.”
When Jia Langzhong said about supplying the inner government, he was very cautious and his voice was also much smaller, after finishing, he looked at Zhu Pingan and said with quite a bit of emotion, “So up to now, the family base of our Taicang silver bank is getting thinner and thinner. ……”
