Chapter 11: Dexing Bank
"Get up, get up" Zhu Youzhen looked at the kneeling guard, and said magnanimously, "What am I punishing you for?" This time it happened suddenly, and I can't blame you. You're still very responsive, I'm very satisfied. Wang Chengen? ”
"The old slave is here." Wang Chengen replied beside him, and it was only at this time that he really put his heart back into his stomach.
"Give each guard brother 5 taels of silver." Zhu Youzhen said with a smile. In my previous life, I watched "The Legend of Deer and Ding", and Lord Wei rewarded him when he saw him, so that he could have friends all over the world. What's more, this is a guard to protect his own safety, and he has to be well encircled.
"Yes, Your Highness the King." Wang Chengen agreed, and then he whispered in a little embarrassment, "Your Royal Highness the King of Letters, I didn't have so much broken silver on me?" ”。
"You're really stupid," Zhu Youzhen stood on tiptoe with a smile and patted Wang Chengen on the shoulder, "With these guards here, let's just go to Dexing Qianzhuang." ”
Although the guard Chu Tianxing saw the expectant eyes of the brothers next to him, he opened his mouth in fear and excused himself: "Your Royal Highness King Xin, you can call me Chu Da or Xiao Chu, but I really don't dare to call you the title of the eldest brother." We are ashamed to receive your reward. Protecting you is a matter of duty, and now that you are almost out of the basket, it is already a blessing for you not to pursue it, how dare you let you spend so much money again. ”
Zhu Youzhen sighed helplessly in his heart. The biggest difference between the current world and the previous life is that the concept of hierarchy is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. After all, they are not in the same class, and they really can't afford to be the big brother.
Zhu Youzhen sighed lightly, feeling a little lonely. In the royal family of this era, it is no wonder that everyone is called lonely. He no longer insisted, but just smiled and said, "Chu Da, you don't have to be polite." Now that you've all shown up, follow me directly. This is 5 taels per person, which is not a silver reward, but just a meeting gift from me to everyone. You have to give this face to this king, right? ”
Zhu Youzhen's small body stood up, and several guards suddenly felt a pressure rushing to their faces. Chu Tianxing didn't dare to hold on any longer, so he could only bow his head. However, the guards next to him could see that if they had money to take, they were already 10,000 willing.
The group went out of the bookstore and waited for Wang Chengen to lock the door. This time, Zhu Youzhen didn't have to look for a way everywhere, he was directly led by Chu Tianxing and went straight to Dexing Qianzhuang.
In a quiet room inside Dexing Qianzhuang, the shopkeeper Zheng is quietly drinking tea. A guy rushed in. Shopkeeper Zheng snorted unhappily and reprimanded him sharply: "You get out of here for me, reckless things." Can't you knock on the door first? ”
The guy was startled, but his performance calmed down a bit. He didn't turn around and go out, but directly urged anxiously: "Shopkeeper Zheng, go to the front and take a look." A group of people came in front of them to exchange silver, 40,000 taels! It's 40,000 taels! ”
The chubby shopkeeper Zheng showed an unswerving expression, "What's all the fuss about exchanging silver." What the? 40,000 taels? Did I hear me right? You're talking about 40,000 taels? ”
Shopkeeper Zheng, who received an affirmative answer, his face changed suddenly, and he stood up at a speed far beyond his body, and he didn't care about any tea. Shopkeeper Zheng hurriedly pulled his legs and left, and asked as he walked, "Who is here?" What kind of silver ticket are you holding? ”
The guy hurriedly replied: "The leader is a 12 or 3-year-old boy, and the others seem to be guards." However, one of them seems to be a father-in-law. They are holding the highest denomination of golden tickets on our counter, a total of 4. ”
The shopkeeper Zheng was a little relaxed, and he was holding 10,000 golden tickets, so it didn't look like he was here to maliciously run. As long as it's not a malicious run, it's easy to say.
In the reception room of the Qian Village, Zhu Youzhen looked at the financial units of this era with interest. The windows of this room are bright and clean, the decoration is simple, and there are a few ink landscapes hanging on the walls. There is no such thing as the tall counter and the huge iron fence as expected. That's right, that image seems to be the standard image of a pawnshop. This should be the equivalent of a large VIP room. (He didn't know, he guessed right, the low-level money bank was the pawnshop.) )
When Zhu Youzhen was thinking nonsense, the door opened, and a middle-aged man with a fat body and a festive face walked in. When he entered the door, he first bent down, bowed his hand, and gave a salute, and kept apologizing: "Rude, rude." If the guest comes to the door, it is not right. Tired guests wait here for a long time, and villains should not be. There are many mistakes, and please forgive me. ”
When the shopkeeper Zheng was outside the door, he saw this unique guest. He looks like he is only 11 or 2 years old, but his childish face has an indescribable temperament, which seems to be different from the whole environment, which is difficult to forget when people see it.
He was the only one in the room, and everyone else was standing aside. A middle-aged man who looked like a lieutenant was standing beside him, obviously a housekeeper. The boy didn't drink tea, but was looking around, with a hint of a confused smile on his face from time to time.
Zhu Youzhen looked at the fat shopkeeper in front of him, and felt that this was different from what he imagined. In his imagination, the shopkeeper here should be a Confucian merchant with a thin face and the temperament of a Chinese scribe. It's a pity that the fat shopkeeper in front of him is a pure businessman with the temperament of a Chinese businessman.
Zhu Youzhen was slightly disappointed, but this was not a big deal. He cleaned up his mood and asked: "This shopkeeper, I just want to exchange some silver, and it is so troublesome for such a trivial matter?" ”
"The villain's surname is Zheng, and he is the shopkeeper of the trumpet. It's a great apology to bother you to wait for a long time. Shopkeeper Zheng apologized again, "Your guests don't know that for a large amount of silver like yours, the trumpet needs to be prepared at least one day in advance." After all, so much silver also needs to be prepared, transported, and more importantly, safe. Do you say? He looked at Zhu Youzhen's face, and said cautiously with an apologetic face: "I wonder if the silver ticket can let the villain look at it again?" ”
"Okay, you can take a good look, be careful not to be fake." Zhu Youzhen took the silver ticket from Wang Chengen and handed it to the shopkeeper Zheng with a little resentment.
Shopkeeper Zheng took the silver ticket and observed it carefully, and his fat figure revealed a serious momentum. The silver tickets are indeed real, the shopkeeper Zheng muttered secretly, and when he saw the hidden pressure on the silver tickets, his heart was even more shocked. He had an impression of these silver tickets, and remembered that they should have been sent to Gu Bingqian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Lord Gu's mansion. How could it be in the hands of this teenager? However, he didn't dare to ask a word.
Shopkeeper Zheng confirmed the authenticity of a few silver tickets, and said with a smile: "I wonder when your guests will need to use these cash tickets?" Where is your house in Beijing, do you need a trumpet to be delivered to the door? ”
The boy's answer almost made him vomit blood, and he heard the boy say, "You don't need to send it to your door." I'm just curious about how much the 40,000 taels of silver can have, and I just want to see it, anywhere. ”
Shopkeeper Zheng tried his best to squeeze out a smiling face and try to keep his voice steady, "If this is the kind of thinking of your guests, then please give the trumpet two days to prepare." If you come back in three days, you will still be here, and the trumpet will definitely fulfill the wishes of your guests. ”
"Okay, no kidding you. Look, this sweat is going to come down. Zhu Youzhen said with a smile, just now he just remembered the scene of wealth and nobility in his previous life, and he just made a joke. However, he was really curious about how much 40,000 taels of silver was.
Shopkeeper Zheng wiped the beads of sweat on his head in embarrassment, and let out a sigh of relief, "It's a joke, it's a joke." ”
"Shopkeeper Zheng, I don't know what the smallest silver ticket in our money bank is, can we shop directly in Beijing?" Zhu Youzhen's small face put away his smile and asked with a straight face.
"The smallest denomination of the silver ticket on the small cabinet is one tael. As for whether you can shop directly, the villain is not very clear. The villain just heard that the silver ticket of the trumpet can be paid directly in several famous restaurants and guild halls in the capital. When Shopkeeper Zheng said the word guild hall, his mouth seemed to stumble.
"Then I keep this silver with you, how do you charge, there is no problem with security, right?" Zhu Youzhen asked again.
