Chapter 301: Knocking
The middle-aged scribe was about to hand over the number to the next person, but before the previous person left, he was about to raise his head and scold.
As soon as he looked up, he saw Chen Kan looking at him with a smile.
"Master Hou, why are you here?"
The middle-aged scribe knew Chen Kan, and immediately got up and saluted Chen Kan.
"Don't, you're busy, Ben Hou just come over and take a look."
Chen Kan pressed his shoulder, and saw the big eunuch sent by Zhu Di to manage the bank hurriedly walking towards him, showing a satisfied look to the middle-aged scribe, and walked towards the big eunuch.
"Hahahaha..."
The big eunuch laughed before he spoke, and his sharp voice made Chen Kan feel a little harsh: "What kind of wind blew the Hou Ye over, and I didn't say anything in advance, so our family might as well come out in advance to greet him." ”
The eunuchs who dared to talk to Chen Kan like this were all big eunuchs with relatively high status in the palace.
Chen Kan showed a signature smile on his face: "How dare you bother the chief manager Wang to greet him personally, this marquis came uninvited, and please don't be surprised." ”
"Where did Hou Ye say, this bank was originally from Hou Ye's hand, and the door of the bank was open for Hou Ye at any time."
"Hehehe..."
Chen Kanpi laughed a few times, and had to admit that this eunuch spoke very well.
The door of the bank is open for Hou Ye at any time, which does not look rusty, but also declares the sovereignty of the bank silently.
But these are all minor problems, and Chen Kan is too lazy to bother with him.
These eunuchs are all royal dogs, and it is normal to treat the bank as a private property of the royal family, and the root is still in Zhu Di.
But Chen Kan had long said that it was better for the bank to be a separate department, independent of the treasury and the royal family.
Since this old eunuch is not interested, Chen Kan had no choice but to go to Zhu Di to "wrestle" a bit.
"Ben Hou is just here to see how the bank is developing, and by the way, ask how much cash is still in the treasury."
Chen Kan didn't bother to beat around the bush, and directly explained his intentions.
Because with his current prestige in Beijing, he is already qualified not to study language arts in depth.
The old eunuch was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly smiled: "It turns out that this is the case, the Hou Ye can send someone to find out, why bother to work in person." ”
"It's okay, it just so happens that Ben Hou has nothing to do lately, so it's not bad to go around."
Chen Kan's answer was very casual, so casual that the old eunuch couldn't guess Chen Kan's true intentions at all.
I had to bend down reluctantly, stretched out my hand and said, "In this way, please come with our family." ”
"There is the chief of King Lao."
Chen Kan gave up his hand again, and the two walked straight to the backyard.
At the same time, the few guys also prepared what Chen Kan wanted to see.
Seeing that the little guy was about to open his mouth to read it to himself, Chen Kan simply took the account book from his hand and looked at it.
The ledger records how much cash is exchanged every day, how much cash is exchanged for treasure money, and how many people come to deposit.
Chen Kan looked at the scattered and dense numbers on the ledger, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
This kind of bookkeeping method is the easiest way to do tricks and the most difficult way to check the accounts.
But the financial statements that Chen Kan had seen in later generations were much more complicated than this, so this manager Wang wanted to embarrass Chen Kan with such an account book, and he could only say that he had made a mistake.
I don't dare to say it in later generations, but in this era, there are absolutely few people who can fool Chen Kan, not to say no.
And it definitely does not include the manager Wang in front of him.
casually flipped through the account book, and Chen Kan's heart was counting.
It's just that Chen Kan didn't come to check the accounts today, so he shouldn't have seen the clues in the account books.
This is an era when the water is clear and there are no fish, as long as the banks do not collude with the nobles to swallow the wealth belonging to the people, some flaws can be tolerated.
Returning the account book to Mr. Wang, Chen Kan said with a smile: "Ben Hou didn't expect that more than half a year has passed since the opening of the bank, and he can still retain nearly 500,000 taels of silver, and he has also redeemed more than 2 million yuan of treasure banknotes. ”
And Manager Wang couldn't help but be shocked after hearing Chen Kan's words.
What he showed Chen Kan was the counter ledger, and the real ledger was naturally hidden in a place that only he knew, and the purpose was to make Chen Kan retreat.
But Chen Kan just flipped through it casually and came up with the result, doesn't it mean that he has a high attainment in arithmetic?
Thinking about the fact that it took more than an hour for the bank's account room to calculate the flow of a day, Mr. Wang was a little flustered.
I don't know if this young marquis has seen some loopholes in the ledger.
With apprehension, Manager Wang lost the calmness when he first saw Chen Kan, and hurriedly laughed and said: "Run an errand for Long Live Lord, how dare the villain be idle." ”
Chen Kan patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "What an errand for the Long Live Lord, since the head of the king has His Majesty in his heart, then the Hou will be at ease, the matter of the bank is seen by the Hou today, and it is running smoothly. ”
As soon as Chen Kan said this, he saw that Manager Wang's face turned pale, and then hurriedly laughed: "In this way, our family will thank Master Hou." ”
"Little things."
Chen Kan stopped unconcernedly, with a signature smile on his face.
The purpose of coming to the bank was achieved, and by the way, he knocked the old eunuch, and Chen Kan was too lazy to stay in the bank.
He arched his hand towards the old eunuch and said, "Chief Wang is busy with himself, and Ben Hou has taken his leave." ”
"Let's send it to Master Hou."
The old eunuch quickly followed behind Chen Kan, sending Chen Kan out of the bank gate like a plague god, and then breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
If Chen Kan still had a fluke mentality when he looked at the account book, then when Chen Kan said that he wanted to ask for credit, he really startled him.
He didn't believe that Chen Kan would really go to His Majesty to ask for merit with a kind heart, since it was not to ask for merit, then what was he going to do, the meaning was self-evident.
Thinking about Chen Kan's murderous reputation in Beijing, the old eunuch's face was a little cloudy.
After a while, he summoned his henchmen and ordered: "Don't move those things for the time being, and order them to go down, let the people below clean their hands and feet, and let our family find that someone dares to deceive the upper and lower levels, don't blame our family for being ruthless, reaching out to cut off hands, stretching out feet and cutting feet." ”
......
When he returned home, Chen Kan once again hid in the study.
And then there's the old thing, writing everything down, and constantly permuting and combining and overturning.
For now, there are a lot of things in front of Chen Kan.
The first thing is to teach the people who have bullied their wives a hard lesson, and the second is the exchange crisis that the bank is about to encounter.
Then, we should continue to pay close attention to the development of the firebolt.
Although Chen Kan disappeared during this period of time, the craftsmen of the Ordnance Prison did not stop researching firearms, and even used new firearms when slaughtering the White Lotus Sect members outside the city.
However, Chen Kan knows very well that there is no bottleneck in the research of thermal weapons.
As for the matter of accepting apprentices and cultivating Zhu Zhanji, although this matter is of the highest importance, this matter is the one that cannot be rushed, and Zhu Di's attitude must be tested before he can deal with it.
As for the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division, since he was bedridden, Zhu Gaosui took over, so he didn't have to interfere for the time being, just let him grow savagely.
Finally, he proposed with Zhu Di to open the Ming Royal Military Academy.
Write everything down and go through it, and the next direction will be clear.
Chen Kan stayed in the study for two hours.
By the time he opened the door, it was the middle of the moon.
The cold air on his face made Chen Kan couldn't help but shiver, and after the shivering, there was a rumbling resistance in his stomach.
Eat first.
Chen Kan made a decision.
No matter what kind of intrigue you want to play, you need to eat a full stomach as a premise.
Fortunately, the cooks in the mansion have become very accustomed to the request of their marquis to eat at any time and in any place.
Soon, a table of delicious food was brought to the table.
After eating his stomach and taking a hot bath under the service of his subordinates, Chen Kan returned to the bedroom.
Zhu Yuelan had already fallen asleep, and Chen Kan didn't want to wake her up.
Gently blow out the candlestick, and gently lift the corner of the quilt and climb into bed.
Just climbed into bed, a graceful carcass hovered over Chen Kan like an octopus.
"Madame hasn't fallen asleep yet?"
Zhu Yuelan replied lazily: "Husband, the concubine is looking at your knowledge when you take the test today, do you have the intention of accepting apprentices?" ”
In the dark, Chen Kan patted Zhu Yuelan's smooth shoulder and said with a smile: "I know that I can't hide it from you, yes, my husband does have this idea, but I still need to see it again." ”
Zhu Yuelan asked: "If the husband wants to accept apprentices, the concubine thinks it is better to let her father put Zhu Zhanji under your door, the child is too naughty, and the queen mother and the gentleman in the big study can't control him anymore." ”
When Chen Kan heard this, he was surprised: "Madame is not afraid that she will teach His Royal Highness the Emperor and Sun badly for her husband?" ”
"No, people have confidence in their husband's knowledge."
Zhu Yuelan sighed, but it made Chen Kansheng have a different mind.
He does have the idea of taking Zhu Zhanji under his disciples, but he is not a scholar and a scholar, and he is not a scholar, and he doesn't know if Zhu Di will agree?
Shaking his head and driving those messy thoughts out of his mind, Chen Kan said, "Besides, I haven't thought about it yet." ”
"Hmm."
Zhu Yuelan shrank into Chen Kan's arms, which suddenly made Chen Kan's body hot.
That's when the fool talks about the scenery.
Chen Kan shrank into the quilt, felt the warm breath in his ears, and suddenly said with a strange smile: "My husband thinks that it is better to teach other people's children than to teach our own." ”
"What do you mean, we ...... Hmm~"
Zhu Yuelan was just about to ask where our child came from, but Leng Buding found that his small mouth had been blocked, and a big hand was also sliding down his back, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes in the dark.
She suddenly understood what Chen Kan meant.
"Crunch~squeak~squeak."
The sound of the bed shaking and wheezing sounded, adding a bit of dryness in the quiet winter night.
