Rise From the Humble

  Chapter 736 Layout

   "Yo, Zihou is back."

In the middle of the afternoon, Zhao Langzhong skipped work early as usual, and was going to Jinfenglou to exercise his waist. I heard that Jinfenglou specially brought in a few new Yinghuashouma from Yangzhou in order to compete with Xiaoxiang Pavilion. , I have been envious for a long time, and I was about to leave the gate of Taicang when I saw Zhu Pingan coming on horseback.

   "Master Zhao, are you going out?"

  Zhu Ping'an got off his horse and bowed his hands to return the salute. Seeing that Zhao Langzhong was about to go out, he couldn't help asking curiously.

   "No, no, routinely check the situation of the guards in Taicang." Zhao Langzhong shook his head vigorously, denying it, and thought of an excuse in a hurry.

  Hearing this, Zhu Ping'an's dark eyes flashed away, and he did not point out Mr. Zhao's flawed lies, but curled his lips and praised: "Master Zhao is strict with his duties, and he is really a model for my generation."

"Hehe, where, where." Zhao Langzhong shook his head with a modest smile, his face was very proud, proud of his own quick wit, for a rookie like Zhu Pingan who was inexperienced, he was an old man in the officialdom, he had a feeling in his heart. Share a sense of superiority.

"Oh, by the way, didn't Zihou go to Xiyuan to deliver the memorial? Why did he come back so soon?" Langzhong Zhao thought of the memorial when he first saw Zhu Ping'an, and he almost forgot when Zhu Ping'an asked him just now. , I suddenly remembered this again, and couldn't help asking curiously.

"Oh, that's right. The booklet was handed over to the back of the Wuyi Palace. Because Taicang is related to the foundation of the country, it was approved very quickly. The Ministry of Industry also quickly responded, saying that it has been quickly produced by skilled craftsmen and refined iron. ...However, if it wasn't for the reminder from Master Li, the head of the household department on duty at the Wuyi Palace, I would almost have made a mistake. I didn't expect that there would be many procedures and details to replace the warehouse door. Please ask the Qintian Supervisor to choose a date and measure the good and bad feng shui. During the replacement period, you need to ask the secretary The Treasury was sealed with the seal of the Ritual Superintendent, and the new door of the Ministry of Industry arrived, and the seal could only be removed when the warehouse door was replaced on the auspicious day selected by the Qin Tianjian, and the warehouse door could be replaced in this way."

   "Under Master Li's reminder, I hurriedly made up the procedures in Xiyuan, reported to the Qin Tianjian, and asked for a seal from the Sili Supervisor, lest I might miss something, so I rushed back without stopping."

  Zhu Pingan explained the cause and effect to Zhao Langzhong, with a bit of fear in his expression, a look of rejoicing.

   "Hehe, Zihou is new here, so it's normal if he doesn't understand the process."

  Zhao Langzhong comforted Zhu Ping'an, but he felt relieved in his heart, let you take credit, and see if you make a fool of yourself, haha, you deserve it.

  Zhu Ping'an rubbed the back of his head resentfully, and smiled embarrassedly.

Seeing Zhu Pingan's embarrassment, Zhao Lang felt even more refreshed. After thinking about the watermelon and peach theory mentioned by Zhang Siku, Zhao Lang said enthusiastically, "Oh, by the way, Zihou, don't you need to put a seal on it?" Fortunately, I was fine, so I accompanied Zihou to report to Zhang Guanku first, and then went to the bank to put a seal on it. I know the people there very well, so it’s not easy to put a seal on it. .”

   "This will trouble Mr. Zhao." Zhu Pingan cupped his hands in thanks.

   "No trouble, no trouble, you see how polite you are." Zhao Langzhong smiled.

  The horse was handed over to Ku Bing and led to the stable. Zhu Pingan and Zhao Langzhong went to Zhang Guan Kuna to inform him about the seal.

"The sage of heaven made a decree to 'allocate 200,000 taels of money to order Tao Tianshi to perform the ritual of calming the gods at Jianyuan Mountain in Wudang Mountain', and it just so happened that this afternoon the soldiers of the Treasury had already transported the 200,000 taels of silver and escorted it to the inner treasury. In the short term, there will be no entry or exit of gold and silver in the silver warehouse, and the closure of the warehouse door with a seal will not affect the normal business operations of Taicang. Since it is a necessary process and it is related to my safety in Taicang, I naturally have to fully assist in Taicang." Zhang Guan After hearing this, Ku understood and supported Zhu Ping'an's work very much. He browsed through the recent arrangements and said that he could immediately post a seal to close the warehouse door.

   "It is our duty to assist in the replacement of the warehouse door. Zihou, Mr. Zhang just said that Zihou solved a safety hazard for us in Taicang, and he is our hero in Taicang." Jia Langzhong said with a smile.

   "Hehe, congratulations to Mr. Zhu. You did such a great thing on the first day you came to Taicang. In the future, Mr. Zhu will make a fortune. Don't forget about us in Taicang." Then several people laughed and said in a joking tone.

  They, like Langzhong Zhao, felt relieved when they heard that Zhu Pingan made a fool of himself in Xiyuan.

   "Ahem, wherever it is, Ping An is also meeting at the right time." Zhu Pingan rubbed the back of his head and smiled embarrassedly.

  When everyone saw this, they laughed again.

  In short, everyone in Taicang unanimously supports the posting of seals and the closure of the gold and silver vaults.

  Watermelon garden and a little peach, they can still tell which is more important. Since Zhu Ping'an needs this little peach, just give it to him.

  United minds are united, things are naturally as Zhao Langzhong said, the simplicity cannot be simpler.

Zhu Pingan followed Zhao Langzhong and Jia Langzhong to the bank and treasury again, summoned the hall officials and treasury soldiers, announced the replacement of the treasury door, registered and compiled the book according to the prescribed procedures, and then followed the usual practice, burning incense and offering sacrifices to heaven, and leaving the ceremony. The warehouse door was officially closed, a seal was posted, and the vault and silver vault were sealed off.

   It is necessary to wait until the Ministry of Industry has cast the refined iron gate, and the Qin Tianjian has selected a good day to open the seal and replace the warehouse door.

   During this period, unless there is an imperial decree, no one is allowed to open the treasury or silver treasury. Violators will be punished as treason.

  The reason for this is that the Emperor Jiajing’s golden seal was used on the seal, which is equivalent to an imperial decree. If you dare to disrespect the seal, you are disrespecting Emperor Jiajing. In ancient times, daring to disrespect the supreme ruler was a serious crime of "heinous".

  As long as there is a seal on the warehouse door, the bank and treasury will be completely sealed off, and even the treasury minister of the Taicang Bank has no right to open it.

Zhu Pingan watched the seal sticking to the door of the warehouse, and narrowed his eyes as black as ink, but there was a bonfire burning in the slits of his eyes, sparkling with fireworks, slightly pulling the corners of his lips, and under the setting sun, he looked like a bird. Silly fox with a silly smile.

   "Hehe, Zihou should be at ease now. The process is over now, and the Ministry of Industry will send the refined iron gate."

   Zhao Langzhong stepped forward and patted Zhu Pingan on the shoulder, and said with a smile.

  In his eyes, Zhu Pingan squinted his eyes and smiled like an idiot, and he couldn't help laughing in his heart. This person surnamed Zhu is really shallow-sighted, isn't it just a small achievement of changing doors, as for it.

"The seal has been pasted. Congratulations. Zihou has eliminated a potential safety hazard for us in Taicang. Tonight, we will be the host in Taicang. First, I would like to thank Zihou for eliminating the hidden danger for me in Taicang. Second, I would like to congratulate Zihou on his first visit to Taicang. Make meritorious deeds." Jia Langzhong smiled and invited Zhu Pingan to stay and have dinner with him.

   In this regard, Zhu Pingan declined on the grounds that something happened at home.

   "Hehehe, Zihou is newlywed, I understand, I understand."

  Regarding Zhu Ping'an's reason, Zhao Langzhong squeezed his eyes and smiled obscenely.

   Understand Nima Hi.

  You wretched man!

  I’m afraid that I’ll be corrupted by you foxes by accident. Zhu Ping’an slanders me.
