MTL - Ci Jinzhi-Chapter 141 collect money
In an ivory white jacket and a sky-blue pleated skirt, the girl who walked in was beautiful and calm.
"Grandmother, uncle." Xin You said hello to the two calmly.
The old lady was already annoyed by her granddaughter's troublesome behavior, and Duan Shaoqing's hidden thorny words, when she saw Xin You, she couldn't put on a loving face, and let her sit down with a straight face.
Xin You sat down as promised.
"This is the bank note that your uncle bought from several banks yesterday, plus the money kept at home, totaling 300,000 taels." The old lady pushed a box over.
Xin You opened the box directly in front of the two of them.
Although it has only been about twenty years since the founding of Daxia, the various regulations of the bank are much more standardized than the chaos of the previous dynasty. Not to mention other things, the minimum denomination of five taels of bank notes and the maximum denomination of one thousand taels are the unified regulations of large and small banks.
It is said that this was the empress's proposal.
The bank notes in this box are all in the largest denomination, and the three hundred thousand taels of bank notes fill the small box to the brim.
Xin You took out a stack of bank notes and looked at them casually.
At that time, the old lady deposited 300,000 taels of silver into several banks, but did not exchange it into bank notes for safety reasons and kept it at home. It is still the unified regulation of these banks that if the silver deposit exceeds 10,000 taels, a stamp made of copper can be used to replace the silver ticket. This kind of small seal is safer and more convenient than paper bank notes.
Yesterday, Duan Shaoqing came back with a few stamps in exchange for bank notes. Different banks have different ticket numbers. If you want to exchange for real money, you have to take the silver ticket to the corresponding bank to get it.
"This is a small chapter from Jinsheng Bank, with one hundred thousand taels." Duan Shaoqing handed over a small chapter with a cold face.
Xin You took it and took a closer look. The small copper chapter was small and exquisite, with complex patterns on the bottom and a character "pick up" engraved on it, which meant that this small chapter could take out one hundred thousand taels of silver from the bank.
Regardless of banknotes or small chapters, Qianzhuang always recognizes things but not people.
Xin You put the box containing the banknotes and the small chapter at hand.
This is 400,000 taels, which is 200,000 taels short of what she asked for.
The old lady's eyes darkened when she saw that she was facing such a huge sum of money without changing her face, as if she was waiting for them to continue.
This girl is not only ruthless to the Shaoqing Mansion, but also has no consideration for her grandmother.
"I still have fifty thousand taels of cash at home, and I've prepared it for you." The old lady's brows twisted out of the Sichuan character can kill mosquitoes.
Xin You smiled slightly: "I brought the carriage and manpower, can I bring the carriage in later?"
Duan Shaoqing said coldly: "Yes."
He also didn't want to attract the attention of others and attract Xiaoxiao.
"The remaining 150,000 taels—" Xin You drew his tone.
Duan Shaoqing slapped a box in front of her: "There are deeds from more than a dozen shops inside, and the combined value is much more than 150,000 taels."
Xin You opened the box and looked at it very carefully this time.
Whether there is a problem with the banknote and the small chapter, it is easy to know that the moisture on the pavement is large.
After reading the house deeds one by one, Xin You took out one: "I passed this restaurant, and it seems that there is no customer."
Duan Shaoqing's tone was cold and hard: "The business is good or bad is a matter of later, when I bought the shop, I really spent this money."
Xin You thought for a while, and put away a stack of house deeds: "Uncle is right, so let's do it. Where is the fifty thousand taels of cash?"
"It has been boxed and is in the wing."
The old lady specially ordered the maidservant to guard the gate of Ruyi Hall today, and not allow people from other courtyards to approach. The room where the gold and silver were stored was cleaned up temporarily. As the door opened, square boxes filled the room. Full.
Xin You estimated that there were dozens of boxes.
Gold and silver are both very heavy on the scale. Dozens of boxes, not to mention three carriages, cannot be loaded in one trip. Even if they can be packed, the carriages and horses cannot bear it.
"Xiao Lian." Xin You called Xiao Lian.
Xiao Lian understood, stepped forward and opened a box casually.
The light in the wing room is not good, but when the box is opened, the white light is dazzling.
Xiao Lian gasped, and couldn't help but look at Xin You.
She knew that six hundred thousand taels was a lot, but she couldn't imagine what a huge sum of money it was until she saw a box full of silver ingots.
This is just a box. If all the 600,000 taels of silver are put into the box, how much should there be?
The little maid's legs were weak, and she was a little unsteady.
Duan Shaoqing showed annoyance: "Qingqing, can we use other money as money?"
Xin You pursed her lips, and her smile had the shadow of her cuteness in the past: "It's not that I can't trust Uncle, it's that I've never seen so much cash, I can't help but want to open my eyes."
Duan Shaoqing took out these to stabilize her, and the possibility of cheating is extremely small. Of course, even if it is speculated like this, the cash and house deeds must be counted and verified when they return to the bookstore.
Next, the three carriages waiting outside drove directly into Shaoqing Mansion and stopped at the second gate.
Xin You ordered Xiaolian to follow the car and transport the silver ingots back to the east yard of Qingsong Bookstore.
The three carriages are ordinary in appearance, and the traffic flowing into the street is not eye-catching at all. Only the guards who were in charge of carrying the boxes were amazed, secretly guessing what was in such a heavy box.
"I haven't been to Jinsheng Bank yet, can uncle accompany me?"
Duan Shaoqing nodded with a straight face: "Yes."
Xinyou wrapped the box containing the bank notes and the box containing the house deed with cloth, and walked out with a small bundle, saying: "By the way, uncle, I have been busy just now, so I didn't bother to tell you. I called a friend to wait for you." Help me carry something later. He should be waiting in the hall now."
Of course Duan Shaoqing knew that it was because his niece could not trust him, so he snorted and said nothing, and then saw He Qingxiao who was drinking tea silently in the hallway.
"Hey, Mr. He?" Duan Shaoqing was so surprised that his voice changed.
He Qingxiao put down his teacup and stood up: "I was entrusted by Miss Kou to do something with her."
"Oh, oh—" Duan Shaoqing went to see Xin You in confusion.
Xin You raised the corners of her lips at Duan Shaoqing, and handed the small package to He Qingxiao: "Please, Mr. He, help me carry it."
He Qingxiao took it with a calm face.
Miss Kou asked him to take over the place and promised a reward. It is right to carry things for Miss Kou.
Seeing that he answered so naturally, Duan Shaoqing couldn't calm down anymore.
The niece asked He Qingxiao to carry the burden for her!
What is their relationship?
No wonder the dead girl is so rampant, this couple!
Contempt flashed from Duan Shaoqing's eyes, but it did not escape Xin You's eyes.
In response, she only hooked the corners of her lips.
She knows exactly what people like Duan Shaoqing think.
Will she care?
Phew!
Xin You and Duan Shaoqing rode in a carriage together, while He Qingxiao rode as usual, and the three arrived at Jinsheng Bank.
Jinsheng Bank is the largest bank in Beijing, and it looks extraordinary.
He Qingxiao took a look and was sure that it was a place he had never been to.
Miss Kou came to the bank with her uncle to discuss business?
He Qingxiao's heart skipped a beat when he thought of Xin You's three carriages that obviously dragged heavy loads away from the Shaoqing Mansion.
The ancient financial system was chaotic, unstable, and changing rapidly, so let’s consider it a private establishment here.
