For Hongyun Bank, as long as the other party holds the silver banknotes of Hongyun Bank, it cannot be exchanged, otherwise once it is passed out, it will be a great blow to the reputation and reputation of the bank, and it is difficult to say what bad consequences will be caused later, no matter which shopkeeper can not afford it.

After a brain teaser, the shopkeeper suddenly said, "You see if this will work, I will divide ten thousand taels of silver into two, half of which will be given to silver, and the other half will be turned into gold." If your master wants to exchange copper coins, it must be of special use, it is likely to use change, if they are all exchanged for gold, a gold ingot is fifty taels, worth a thousand taels of silver, and is worth more than two thousand copper coins, how can this be used? Think about it, isn't that the reason? ”

Without waiting for Qingchen to speak, the shopkeeper said: "Yiwu is not big, there are not many merchants, gold can not be spent there, fifty taels of silver is better, it is also convenient to exchange silver for copper coins there, there must be a lot of people who want to exchange copper coins for silver, and it is not labor-saving and trouble-free to exchange silver for Yiwu after redeeming silver?" What does the little brother think? ”

Qingchen thought about it and thought that what the shopkeeper said was reasonable, so he nodded and said, "Then listen to the shopkeeper, half gold and half silver." ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Okay, the old man first explained to the little brother that there is a shortage of gold at the moment, so one or two feet of gold can be worth twenty taels of silver no matter where it is, and the five thousand taels of silver will be exchanged for two hundred and fifty taels of gold for you, and the remaining five thousand taels are silver." About gold, little brother, please rest assured, the gold of Hongyun Qianzhuang is absolutely ten percent of pure gold, each ingot of gold money in the open and secretly have been marked, if you feel that the gold ingot is not enough after the exchange, you can come back to us to exchange, as long as it is from our money to go out, never deny, our Hongyun money in the Song Dynasty reputation, the little brother should have heard of it, the old decay will not be repeated. ”

Qingchen said: "I understand the rules, then ask the shopkeeper to count quickly, we have limited time." ”

"Okay, little brother, please go to the front hall for a while, and the old man will deliver it to the little brother immediately." The shopkeeper then instructed a group of men to take the dust out of the treasury where the copper coins were stored.

Qingchen waited in the front hall for less than a quarter of an hour, and the shopkeeper of the money village came out with four men carrying a box, and the box was put on the ground and then opened.

The silver of a white ingot was very dazzling, which made Qingchen dizzy.

"Little brother, let's do it." The shopkeeper laughed and told the man to fetch an empty box.

After a period of turmoil, Qingchen gradually stabilized her mind, she had never entered the money bank, how to count the silver, and she didn't know what the rules were, so she replied: "Then it's troublesome for the shopkeeper." ”

The shopkeeper reached out and took a small scale, and then took out a silver ingot from the box and put it into the weighing pan.

"Little brother, please see, this is fifty taels of silver ingots, not more than one cent, not less than one cent, just fifty taels." The shopkeeper loosened the scale in his hand in front of Qingchen.

Qingchen looked at it and found that there was indeed no problem on the scale, so he nodded.

After confirming that it was correct, the shopkeeper immediately instructed the man to count, and the silver ingots were taken out of the box one by one, and then put them in the empty box next to them.

After ordering for a while, the shopkeeper took out a weighing scale from the silver ingots that had been counted, and asked Qingchen to check it again.

The weight of the silver ingot was just right, no more, no less, Qingchen nodded again.

In the subsequent counting process, the shopkeeper will take the silver ingots from the box from time to time and weigh them accurately.

The process of ordering money in Hongyun Qianzhuang, the first time Qingchen saw it, he felt very reliable and reassuring, and the heart that had been hanging slowly sank.

Five thousand taels of silver, fifty taels of ingots, a full hundred ingots, neatly arranged in the box.

After the silver was counted clearly, and after both parties confirmed that it was correct, the silver box was locked, and the seal of Hongyun Qian Zhuang was affixed, and the key was handed over to Qingchen.

"Little brother, this is two hundred and fifty taels of gold, fifty taels and one ingot, a total of five ingots." The shopkeeper placed a small, slightly heavy box on top of the silver box, and opened it as he spoke.

Qingchen took a step forward, only to see that there were indeed five gold ingots with golden light lying in the small box, she nodded slightly, without words.

"Gold is different from silver, according to the rules, it has to be weighed one by one, and the little brother can check whether the scale is accurate first." After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he handed the scale in his hand to Qingchen, and then took out the items for calibrating the small scale.

There are scales at home in Quanzhou, how to use the scales to recognize the scales, and the dust is still known.

After taking the small scale and weighing the calibration items one by one, Qingchen nodded to confirm that there was no problem with the scale.

"Shopkeeper, are you coming, or am I coming?" Qingchen did not send back the scale in his hand, after all, gold is different from silver, one ingot of gold is worth twenty ingots of silver, even if it is a little less, the loss is very large.

The shopkeeper smiled: "It's okay for the little brother to call it himself." As he spoke, he raised his hand and asked the other party to take care of himself.

With the permission of the other party, Qingchen didn't say much, and immediately carefully took out a heavy gold ingot from the small box and put it into the weighing pan, and after the string hanging the scale stone was pulled back a few times, it finally stopped at a scale balance.

The left hand pinched the string, fixed it on the scale rod, took out the gold ingot, put it back in the box, and carefully counted the scale on the scale rod, fifty taels no more and no less.

The scale was sent to the shopkeeper, and Qingchen said: "This ingot of gold is just fifty taels, which is correct." ”

The shopkeeper nodded and motioned for the other party to continue.

Clean the dust, take out the other gold ingots that have not yet been weighed, and put them into the weighing pan again to weigh them.

In a short time, the five ingots of gold were weighed one by one, and all of them were correct.

Qingchen casually closed the box, and the shopkeeper immediately locked the small box and put a seal in front of her eyes.

Gold is precious, even in the money bank, Qingchen does not dare to be careless, and when the seal is pasted, she immediately holds the small box containing five ingots of gold in her arms.

The shopkeeper then fills in the exchange documents and prints his signature to prove that the other party has indeed exchanged silver banknotes in Hongyun Bankery, and if there is a problem with the physical gold and silver, he can come back at any time to identify or replace it.

Of course, the premise of the new one is that the gold and silver ingots are not broken or melted, because the gold and silver ingots have the unique mark of Hongyun Qianzhuang, and if the mark is missing, it cannot be proved that the gold and silver ingots are from Hongyun Qianzhuang, and naturally they can no longer be exchanged.

After the shopkeeper explained the instructions one by one, he handed over the exchange documents to Qingchen, and said with a smile: "Little brother, 10,000 taels of silver notes are exchanged for 5,000 taels of silver and 250 taels of gold, the gold and silver are all here, you can also collect the exchange documents, and the delivery will be completed when you leave the bank." ”

Qingchen put the slip in his arms, hugged the gold box and said, "Shopkeeper, our carriage is outside, please send the money box out." ”

"It's nature." The shopkeeper laughed.

Then, with a wave of his hand, the four men tied the silver box to a rope, and as soon as the two sticks were pierced, they lifted the box and walked out.

Qingchen followed, his eyes did not dare to relax, this is a lot of money, if he goes on a business trip, he can't explain it to his husband.

The distance from the antechamber of the money village to the door was very close, and in a short time, the four men carried the silver box to the carriage waiting outside the door, and after the wooden stick rope was removed, they were carried into the carriage and put it away.

Waiting for the money dealer to withdraw, Qingchen immediately got into the car and sat by the box to guard it personally, even when the shopkeeper said hello, she didn't get out of the car to respond.

Qingchen hugged the gold box and lowered the curtain in front of the car.

"Go to the state office."

"Yes." Miao Jiu answered, didn't say much, shook the reins in his hand, and the horse pulling the cart stepped into four hooves.

Miao Jiu came to Jinhua for the first time and was familiar with this place, fortunately, this place is not big, and it is still very convenient to find the state government.

A quarter of an hour later, the carriage stopped a few feet away from the entrance of the state government.

"Madam, the state government has arrived." Miao Jiu turned his head and said to the car.

"When you're out and about, don't call me Madame, call me Captain Gu!" Qingchen replied in a low voice.

"Yes." Miao Jiu hurriedly responded.

Qingchen stretched out the scabbard in his hand, opened the curtain a crack, raised his eyes and saw the plaque of the Wuzhou Prefecture Ya, and then the sword in his hand was put away, and the curtain was re-covered.

"You keep an eye on it, the adults will call when they come out, don't let him go to the money village again."

"Yes." Miao Jiu responded, and directly omitted the title, Gu Xiaowei three words, he really couldn't call it.

After waiting for a while, he didn't see anyone coming in and out of the state office, and Qingchen looked at the gold and silver alone, and he was a little anxious.

"Is the carriage of the army still there? You go and ask the adults if they have come out. ”

"Yes." Miao Jiu answered, got out of the carriage and walked towards a carriage not far away.

After a while, he came back and replied: "The master has been in for a while, but he hasn't come out." ”

"Well, keep an eye on it." Qingchen held a sword in one hand and stroked the small gold box beside him with the other.

Guarding five thousand taels of silver and two hundred and fifty taels of gold alone, Qingchen was under a lot of pressure, but she couldn't afford any mistakes.

She had heard her husband talk about overseas returns before, and had heard of hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions of dollars, but before today, she had never seen fifty taels of silver ingots with her own eyes, let alone a hundred ingots at one time. Today she also saw gold that she had never seen before, fifty taels of gold, and she was dazzled and trembling when she saw it, and for a moment she even fantasized about how good it would be if these gold were hers, but it was only for a moment, and then this thought was suppressed.

I don't know how long I waited, but I suddenly heard Miao Jiu say: "The master is out." ”

As soon as Qingchen heard this, his heart suddenly lightened, and he raised his hand to raise the curtain, only to see the husband in civilian clothes walking out of the gate of the state government quickly.

Miao Jiu, who had already received the hostess's orders, hurriedly stepped forward and greeted, "Master." ”

Yang Congyi suddenly saw Miao Jiu and the carriage parked outside the state yamen, and he was surprised.

"Why are you here?" Yang Congyi walked briskly towards the carriage.

Without waiting for Miao Jiu to reply, Qingchen opened the curtain and said, "My lord, is the errand done?" ”

Seeing Qingchen in the car, Yang Congyi felt even more strange, but he didn't ask questions immediately, and quickly got into the carriage before asking, "Is the matter of Qianzhuang done?" What about money? ”

Qingchen patted the two boxes next to him, one large and one small, and said, "It's all here." ”
