"Master Zhang, Master Jia, Master Zhao..." Zhu Ping'an saw Zhang Guanku and others from Taicang coming towards him, so he took the initiative to smile and greeted them one by one, and then went straight to the point, "It has been a long time since I was ordered to inspect the Taicang silver vault. I am not very knowledgeable and have limited ability, so I dare not delay any more. Today the vault door has been changed, so let's start counting the silver vault."
"How could that be? Zihou is being modest. If even Zihou is so ignorant and limited in ability, how can we have the face to stand here? You should know that Zihou is the youngest number one scholar in our Ming Dynasty. Moreover, let's not talk about anything else, just the fact that Zihou checked the three years of account books and ledgers of more than ten large boxes of Taicang Silver Treasury within three days. I am sure that except Zihou, no one else can do it. Not even the most experienced accountant in our capital can do it." Doctor Jia smiled and patted Zhu Ping'an on the shoulder, deliberately praising him loudly.
Doctor Jia's voice was very loud, and all the officials watching the ceremony, including Prince Yu and Princess Ning'an who were talking in a low voice, heard it clearly. At this moment, they stopped talking and looked forward.
After hearing what Doctor Jia said, most of the officials watching the ceremony looked surprised. Zhu Ping'an spent only three days to check the account books of the Taicang Treasury for three years? !
Just mess around.
There are so many account books. Even if you flip through them page by page, it will take you two days. How can you check them all by yourself in three days? It obviously goes against common sense. It's just a mess and a way to get things done.
Zhu Ping'an is a man of few words and not reliable in doing things. His inspection of the Taicang silver vault is really a complete joke.
Under the deliberate guidance of Doctor Jia, the officials watching the ceremony generally had a bad impression of Zhu Ping'an, including Prince Yu and Princess Ning'an.
"So that rustic guy is Zhu Ping'an? He looks quite honest, but how could he be such a boaster? I've seen the account book of the inner treasury once, and there is a big box of it in a year, not to mention the Taicang, which is the national treasury. How could he check it all in three days? He's not a god. My father praised him yesterday. Humph, I didn't expect that even my father was deceived by his honest appearance. Fortunately, I saw through his true face today. I'll tell my father when I go back."
Princess Ning'an stood on tiptoe, looked at Zhu Ping'an with disgust, and said angrily with her lips puffed out.
Princess Ning'an felt very sorry for Emperor Jiajing and thought that Zhu Ping'an had deceived him with his honest appearance.
Prince Yu was somewhat disappointed after hearing what Doctor Jia said. He had previously heard from Gao Gong that the number one scholar in this year's imperial examination was a young man of similar age to himself. He had originally been very interested in Zhu Ping'an and wanted to get to know such a talented young man.
You should know that the last young talent like Yang Tinghe was only a Jinshi at the age of 19, and Zhu Pingan was nearly four years earlier than Yang Tinghe. Yang Tinghe was the imperial tutor of the Ming Dynasty who assisted four dynasties and an outstanding politician, so isn't Zhu Pingan more worth looking forward to? !
But I didn't expect that his reputation was not worthy of his reputation, and Zhu Ping'an turned out to be such an unsteady person.
No wonder when Master Gao mentioned Zhu Pingan...
What a pity.
Prince Yu couldn't help but shake his head slightly, feeling very disappointed, as if he had lost a bargaining chip.
Zhu Ping'an had very good hearing. Of course, even if he couldn't hear, he could tell from the expressions on the faces of the officials watching the ceremony that everyone had a very bad impression of him. However, Zhu Ping'an didn't care at all and had no intention of explaining.
The most important thing now is to take inventory. As for misunderstandings, they will be resolved naturally when the truth comes out.
We cannot delay inventory due to personal disputes.
Therefore, in response to Doctor Jia's deliberate guidance, Zhu Ping'an just shook his head slightly, and then said seriously: "Master Jia, you are joking. Let's start the inventory now."
Doctor Jia was somewhat disappointed by Zhu Ping'an's calmness. He had thought that Zhu Ping'an would be hot-tempered since he was so young, but he did not expect him to be so calm. He was not moved by his words at all and held on to the inventory tightly.
"Haha, of course. Then let's start taking inventory." Doctor Jia laughed twice and nodded, with a flash of disappointment in his eyes.
Just as Zhu Ping'an was about to turn around and walk towards the Taicang Silver Vault, Doctor Jia stopped him with a smile, "Haha, why bother Fei Zihou with this kind of thing? Just leave it to the treasury soldiers and Officer Liu. Come, Officer Liu, lead the treasury soldiers in to check the vault. Be sure to check every penny carefully and seriously."
"That's right. Let the warehouse soldiers take over this kind of task. Zihou, you just need to keep an eye on it outside." Doctor Zhao also echoed.
As soon as Doctor Jia and his men finished speaking, Officer Liu came out with more than twenty soldiers from the warehouse.
Liu Tangguan was the official who was in charge of checking the door of the silver vault when Doctor Jia and Zhu Ping'an visited Taicang last time. He was a minor official with no rank and was not in the mainstream.
"Haha, I'm not afraid of being laughed at by you gentlemen. I have never seen much silver since I was born. I can take this opportunity to go into the silver vault and broaden my horizons." Zhu Ping'an looked up at Doctor Jia and others and smiled brightly.
After hearing Zhu Ping'an's words and looking at the smile on his face, Princess Ning'an, who was watching the ceremony in the corner, couldn't help but roll her eyes, full of contempt, snorted, puffed her lips and muttered: "It turns out that he is still a greedy villain!"
Prince Yu standing aside had a gloomy expression on his face.
"Zihou, it's not that I don't allow you to come in, but we have a law in Taicang that stipulates that those who enter or leave the Taicang silver vault must take off their clothes..."
Doctor Jia seemed to have expected what Zhu Ping'an would say. He smiled slightly and gave him consolation with a confident look on his face.
You have to take off your clothes to enter the treasury, and you can only wear a pair of shorts to cover your body.
It doesn’t matter if Kubing is a pariah, but can you
Then the next second, Doctor Jia's words were stuck like a tape recorder... Not only that, his face was filled with fear, his mouth was wide open, and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
Ouch, what the hell!
What are you doing?!
etc!
I haven't even finished talking yet? Why did you take it off
Before Doctor Jia finished his words, Zhu Ping'an had already started taking off his clothes, and he did it very quickly.
Highlight the characteristics of fast, accurate and ruthless.
He pulled the belt and the official uniform and took off the outer uniform in just a second.
In the summer, people wear fewer clothes to begin with, and once you take off your official uniform, you've basically completed 95% of the work of undressing, leaving you with just a pair of white trousers.
But the next second, as Zhu Ping'an bent down and pulled, the white trousers on his body were gloriously taken off.
The whole undressing process takes only about two seconds.
Too fast.
Before everyone could react, Zhu Ping'an was already naked.
