On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, the heavy snow is sunny at the beginning, the capital is covered in silver, although the temperature is very low, the street is still full of people, it is about to be the New Year, even the major yamen are on holiday, who doesn't want to take advantage of this free time to wander around the street.

However, at this time, there is one industry that is the busiest, that is, the shops on both sides of the street, the period before the Chinese New Year is the time when business is the most prosperous, everyone has time to go shopping and buy things, and the shops are naturally the busiest.

The business of the four major general numbers of the Ming Dynasty is also very prosperous at this time, and the middle section of East Chang'an Avenue is about to be crowded, but there is still a continuous flow of people to gather there, and in the evening, the flow of people is not reduced, but there is more and more trend.

Anyway, it's almost dark, what are you still squeezing into, do you want to take advantage of the dark lights to get something?

Of course not, the four major numbers all have electric lights, and they are more lively at night than during the day!

At this time, the office area on the top floor of the head office of the Daming Royal Nikko Bank was already brightly lit, and there was a crackling abacus in each room, and almost everyone was bowing their heads to settle accounts.

There is no way, the business of the Ming Royal Rixing Bank is too big, not only in charge of the currency distribution of the Ming Dynasty's two capitals and thirty-five provinces and two Zhili Prefectures, but also the demand for dragon coins and Chongzheng Tongbao in various vassal states and even allies is also increasing day by day.

Luo Yangxing was also sitting in his office at this time, crackling and flipping the abacus beads, in front of him were several large ledgers, all of which were general ledgers, including the general ledger of dragon coin issuance, the general ledger of Chongzheng Tongbao issuance, the general ledger of gold and silver reserves, the general ledger of currency issuance of various provinces, the general ledger of currency issuance of vassal countries, the general ledger of currency issuance of all allies, and so on.

What he is checking is the general ledger of dragon coin issuance, not that he has doubts about the computing power of his subordinates, but these accounts are too important, and any number is wrong, that is, tens of millions of taels or even tens of millions of taels of discrepancies, and it is impossible to overstate how many times he has audited them.

After counting three times, he closed the account book with satisfaction, and his face slowly showed an excited look, it really exceeded one billion taels, and the issuance of dragon coins exceeded one billion taels in less than two years!

When the emperor proposed the figure of one billion taels, he thought that it was just a dream, and he was afraid that he would not see it in this life, but he never thought that it would come true so soon!

Just when he was excited, there was a sudden knock on the door, after so long, he was also tired, just to rest, he seriously put the ledger back to its original position, leaned back in the chair, and then said loudly: "Come in." “

He thought it was a subordinate who came to deliver the account book or report the situation, but it was a brocade guard who came in.

Ordinary people are scared when they see Jinyiwei, but he didn't have a flustered expression at all, but sat there with a smile, as if waiting for his junior to come and say goodbye.

The old Locke family is the hereditary commander of the Jinyi Guard, although he has stepped down from the position of commander, but the prestige of the Locke family in the Jinyi Guard is still unmatched, a small thousand households are nothing, the current Jinyi Guard commander Wang Zhengnan was his little brother!

Sure enough, after the brocade-clothed guard Qianhu came in, he didn't look like he was so arrogant elsewhere, but walked up to him with a respectful face, gave a standard military salute, and said loudly: "Lord Xiao Luo, the emperor invites you to dinner." “

Well, sure enough, he didn't forget his roots, Luo Yangxing nodded with satisfaction, and asked kindly: "When and where is it?" “

This expression is a little wrong, the brocade-clothed guard Qianhu replied with a strange face: "Back to Lord Xiaoluo, right now, the emperor asked you to go to Chang'an Restaurant immediately." “

Luo Yangxing looked at the strange expression of the thousand households, and then he reacted, it was the emperor who invited a treat, not his father's old subordinates who came to slap him on the back!

He was so frightened that he immediately jumped up from the chair, rubbed his hands awkwardly and said, "Oh, oops, it's the emperor, I'm confused about this accounting, go, take me quickly." “

After that, you have to run outside.

The Qianhu was standing there and reminded embarrassedly: "Lord Xiao Luo, you haven't dressed yet!" “

What he meant by this was not that Luo Yangxing was bare-bottomed, but that there was the latest type of heating in this room, it was very hot, and all Luo Yangxing wore very little, and in this winter, he wanted to go out like this, so as not to be frozen into popsicles.

Hearing this, Luo Yangxing patted his head, walked to a wardrobe next to him, put on cotton clothes under the service of the thousand households, and then picked out his coat.

Choosing to choose, his hand suddenly stopped, and then, he turned back with a nervous face and asked, "You just said that the emperor invited me to dinner?" “

The thousand households immediately replied loudly: "Chang'an Restaurant." “

Oops, Chang'an Restaurant was opened by his brother-in-law, the emperor wouldn't want to beat him!

He asked a little frightened, "Is the emperor angry?" “

The Jinyi Wei Qianhu naturally knew who opened the Chang'an Restaurant, and he hurriedly relieved: "Lord Xiao Luo, don't worry, the emperor is happy, his old man said casually, go to the largest restaurant on Chang'an Street, there is no intention for you." “

When Luo Yangxing heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately, he rolled his eyes, directly picked out a sable fur coat, and put it on his body.

After the brocade-clothed guard Qianhu served him and put on his coat, his face became even more strange, and he seemed to want to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.

Luo Yangxing rolled his eyes and asked angrily, "Isn't it a little ridiculous?" “

This coat is indeed a little funny on him, and the thousand households can't help but nod in embarrassment.

Luo Yangxing stretched out his hand and patted the back of his head, and scolded with a smile: "You know a fart, this coat is expensive, it costs thousands of taels of silver for a piece, it is a little bad to wear it on me, women look good in it, and it is very warm, I am too lazy to tell you, hurry up, go." “

With that, he lifted his feet and walked out.

That Qianhu really didn't know what Lord Xiao Luo meant, he thought about it for a while, but he still didn't understand, so he had to touch the back of his head and follow in confusion.

Chang'an Restaurant is not far from the four major numbers, there is a team of brocade guards to open the way, Luo Yangxing soon came to the gate of Chang'an Restaurant.

At this time, although there was no obvious battle outside the gate of Chang'an Restaurant, there were secret agents of Jinyiwei everywhere, faintly surrounding the entire restaurant.

Luo Yangxing came to the door, caught a Jinyi Wei spy who was soliciting customers, and asked in a low voice, "Where is the emperor?" “

The brocade-clothed secret agent shouted decently: "Guest officer, you are here." “

Then, while lifting the heavy door curtain, he whispered: "First floor, doorway, left, first table." “

Luo Yangxing nodded, straightened his clothes, took a breath, and strode in.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw that the emperor was sitting at the table on the left side of the door, staring at him.

He was about to go over to greet him, when a welcoming shopkeeper suddenly ran up and said politely: "Oh, big lord, you are here, why didn't you inform me in advance, now the number of Tianzi ......." “

Luo Yangxing rolled his eyes and scolded in a low voice: "Get out, you don't know me." “

The shopkeeper was stunned for being scolded, standing there and not knowing what to do, where did Luo Yangxing have time to take care of this gotten, he came directly to the emperor with an arrow step, and said in a low voice: "This, the emperor, the emperor......." “

At this time, he reacted, the emperor was wearing civilian clothes, and he was sitting in the lobby on the first floor, obviously not wanting people to know his identity, so he didn't dare to call out the word emperor for a long time.

Zhu Cijiong looked at his clothes with interest, and then glanced at Wang Zhengnan next to him.

Wang Zhengnan immediately stood up, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Oh, Lord Luo, you are finally here, Huang Gongzi has been waiting for you for a long time, sit down, sit down." “

Luo Yangxing sat down and asked cautiously, "Huang Gongzi, who are you?" “

Zhu Cijiong directly pushed the menu in front of him and said with a smile: "Order first, I'll treat you today." “
