Chapter 360: Withdrawing money, Caiyi couple arrives
Zhaoming Money House is the largest money house among the Seven Kingdoms and has strong financial resources.
Those who deposited money in the money house were princes, nobles, and royal relatives. No one knew when Zhaoming Money House came into existence. All they knew was that the money house had existed since the history of the Seven Kingdoms.
No matter war or various natural disasters or man-made calamities, he remains standing. The boss behind him is both mysterious and powerful.
When Xie Ling arrived at the big city of Yunqin State, it was still daylight, and she went straight to the nearest Zhaoming Money House.
Just by looking at the facade, you can tell how luxurious the money house is.
It is broad and majestic, occupying almost an entire street, and its golden glazed tiles sparkle in the sun.
The vermilion columns can accommodate three people hugging, the gate is tall and wide, and the stone lions on both sides open their huge mouths and roar, with ferocious fangs.
From time to time, people in black wearing conical hats or with their faces covered would come in and out.
Those who deposit money in Zhaoming Money House are powerful people and naturally do not want to attract attention.
Xie Ling also wore a conical hat.
As soon as he entered the door, a servant came over and said, "Sir, what business do you want to do? Our bank requires a minimum deposit of one million taels of gold."
"Check."
Xie Ling took out the gold and jade token given to her by Wei Xiuchu from her sleeve.
As soon as it was taken out, the dazzling golden light almost blinded the servant's eyes.
He squinted his eyes and looked carefully. After seeing every line on the gold and jade plate clearly, his eyes widened and he looked up suddenly with an expression of disbelief.
"My lord! I'll ask the owner of the manor to come and entertain you! I dare not act rashly!"
The boy ran away as if he was escaping and almost fell down.
Xie Ling raised her eyebrows, it seemed that her father must have given her a lot of money.
Soon, a plain middle-aged man in cloth clothes walked hurriedly towards Xie Ling through the archway, and bowed as soon as they met.
He spoke very nervously, "Sir! Do you want to check the amount?"
Xie Ling nodded, "Yes."
The man said respectfully, "Please show me the gold medal again."
Xie Ling wanted to hand it to him.
Unexpectedly, the man took a big step back, looked very frightened, and waved his hands vigorously.
"You can't do that, sir! You can't do that! Just hold it in your hand and show it to me!"
Xie Ling then held up a corner of the gold medal and showed it to him.
The man stared, not daring to miss even a single detail.
Drops of cold sweat rolled down his forehead and he wiped them away quickly. By the end, even his hands were shaking slightly.
After the inspection, the man's lips turned pale, his waist bent even lower, and his voice became extremely respectful.
"Your gold medal is of the highest standard in our Zhaoming Bank. I dare not check it for you, but Master Yu is in Yunqin Country. I will ask him to come over. Please wait for a few hours, okay?"
The man spoke very respectfully, as if Xie Ling would die if she didn't agree with him.
Xie Ling nodded quickly, "Okay."
"Thank you, sir! Please follow me--"
Then, the man took Xie Ling to a private box.
As spring approaches, the weather is still a little chilly.
There are five or six gilded incense burners burning in the box, making people feel warm but not too cold.
The jade table top was wide, and just when Xie Ling was wondering why the table was so big.
A group of maids in gorgeous clothes came in, each holding a dish in their hands. There were about twenty or thirty maids coming in, and twenty or thirty dishes were placed on the table.
There are cold dishes, cakes, snacks, and various precious fruits that are hard to find in this season. Each dish is exquisitely shaped and looks cute.
Xie Ling was about to pick up her chopsticks.
A maid bent down and used a silver needle in her hand to test all the dishes on the table. She personally put the dish that Xie Ling wanted to pick on her plate. She raised her eyes and said, "My lord, I will serve you dinner."
Xie Ling waved her hand, "No need, I like someone."
The maid heard the obvious female voice, her eyes widened slightly, and she lowered her head and retreated.
After a while, seven or eight handsome young men came in, all wearing long gowns with wide sleeves.
Xie Ling:?
The young men were either holding a zither or playing a harp, and immediately the elegant sounds of stringed instruments rang out in the box.
It sounds pretty good.
Xie Ling thought to herself.
It really takes the customer is God to the extreme.
In ancient times, it was rare.
Xie Ling leaned back and sank into the soft brocade cushion, feeling so comfortable that her whole body went limp.
These days are more comfortable than being an emperor.
As I was thinking about something, I lowered my eyes and saw a handsome young man kneeling beside me.
The young man had a gentle voice, his long black hair flowed down like a waterfall, tied up only with a jade hairpin, revealing his soft, white and slender neck.
"Sir, would you like me to massage your shoulders and legs?"
Xie Ling was ashamed.
He quickly waved his hands, "No need. You all can leave. I like quietness."
The young men had no complaints and all retreated obediently.
Xie Ling was the only one in the box again.
Not long after, after a few hurried horse hoofbeats, the wooden stairs outside the box trembled, and a clear and elegant voice sounded outside the door.
"I am Yu Rusheng from Zhaohua Bank. May I come in now?"
"come in."
Xie Ling looked up and saw a man in a jade crown and purple clothes walking in leisurely, with an elegant posture and a broken jade fan in his hand. His every move was graceful and elegant.
"Please let me see your gold medal again, sir."
Xie Ling did as she was told.
After seeing clearly, Yu Rusheng took an almost unnoticeable breath.
"Sir, is this gold medal yours?"
"My father's."
Yu Rusheng nodded and turned back to call the servant.
Soon, a servant came in hurriedly with his head down, holding a bamboo slip in his arms, very carefully.
Yu Rusheng read through the book for about an incense stick of time, then raised her eyes and stared at Xie Ling's cloak, "What is Shan Yue thinking?"
Xie Ling replied without hesitation, "Chunzhi meets Xiaotao."
Zhaoming Money House required a password to confirm identity, and Wei Xiuchu told Xie Ling about it at the time.
After I said this, An Xuetao teased me.
Wei Xiuchu's old face turned red with shame.
Yu Rusheng breathed a sigh of relief. "May I ask if you want to check? Do you want to withdraw money? If you want to withdraw money, I guess it will take some turnover. The balance in Yun Qin State is not enough."
"how many?"
Yu Rusheng took a deep breath and said solemnly: "One hundred and seventy million taels of gold!"
Xie Ling's beautiful eyes behind her cloak also widened slightly.
Dad, you really gave me a big surprise.
So much money!
It is estimated that it is enough to cover Beijiang’s treasury expenses for fifty or sixty years!
Xie Ling pondered for a while and said, "Then let's take out 70 million taels of gold first to make it an even number."
It just so happens that the number of soldiers and civilians in Sinan has increased, and funds are needed right now.
She would borrow it first and deposit it back when Sinan developed.
Yu Rusheng nodded, "Okay, we still have 70 million taels of gold. Sir, our Zhaoming Bank has a professional fleet that can escort you back. It will be absolutely confidential and absolutely safe. Do you want to go back by yourself?"
"Please send it back to me."
Yu Rusheng nodded, "Okay, please wait for a while. I will finish collecting it by evening at the latest."
Zhaoming Money House was very efficient. In the evening, Yu Rusheng took Xie Ling to the dock.
In the distance, a majestic ship stood, with hundreds of people densely packed on the ship, all of them were tall and strong, and elite guards with great martial arts skills.
After Xie Ling got on the boat, her eyes swept lightly into the darkness.
In addition to the guards that can be seen in the open, there are also many masters of superb martial arts who are hiding their aura in the dark.
It seems that the security work is indeed done well.
The big ship moved slowly and headed towards Sinan.
Yu Rusheng also got on board and took Xie Ling to the warehouse.
In the warehouse, a dozen accountants were clattering on abacus and counting boxes of gold ingots in front of Xie Ling.
Yu Rusheng unfolded her folding fan and said, "Please count and check as you please."
Xie Ling nodded.
It was three days later when we arrived at Sinan Pier.
The warehouse inventory has just been completed.
The accountant's eyes were all red and he staggered out of the door.
Yu Rusheng still looked calm and composed, and said, "Sir, do you still want us to send it to your residence?"
Xie Ling shook her head, "No need. Just send it to the dock. Thanks."
Yu Rusheng chuckled, "You're welcome."
As they talked, the two of them came to the deck.
The sea breeze was so strong that it lifted Xie Ling's hat in an instant, revealing half of her beautiful face.
Yu Rusheng concealed the surprise in her eyes.
From the sound of her voice, she was a calm woman with an experienced look. She stared closely at the gold ingots and the accountant's account book, not missing a single detail.
Such a shrewd person.
I didn't expect he was so young.
He withdrew his gaze indifferently and looked towards the towering mountains with a light green hue not far away.
Sinan?
He had also heard a little about it.
All we know is that it was the territory occupied by Gu Wei, the most famous general in Beijiang.
But he didn't expect that Sinan's faction was so rich?
Which big boss is in charge of Sinan?
This top-notch gold and jade medal is owned by no more than five people in the entire seven countries.
It seems that the entire Seven Kingdoms will be plunged into bloody chaos in the future.
But he is just a businessman, and none of this matters to him.
unless........
Yu Rusheng narrowed her eyes.
However, it has been thousands of years and the jade seal has not appeared yet. I don’t know whether the Yu family will still have the opportunity to serve the Zhou Dynasty.
Soon, the big ship docked.
Xie Ling jumped off the boat.
After a while, a team of calm soldiers boarded the ship one after another. They walked with steady steps and composed demeanor, and were no less impressive than the guards of Zhaoming Money House.
Xie Ling bowed to Yu Rusheng, "Master Yu, please remember your promise and don't spread it."
Yu Rusheng said solemnly: "Of course. My Zhaoming Bank has never participated in the disputes among the seven countries. This is also the reason why my Zhaoming Bank has always stood firm. Please rest assured."
Xie Ling nodded.
"Then I wish you a safe journey, Master Yu."
Yu Rusheng nodded.
Just as he was about to turn around, his eyes swept across the bustling crowd and suddenly he saw a slender figure like jade.
The man stood out from the crowd, and even his simple blue clothes could not hide his stern temperament.
The moment he saw the woman in the bamboo hat, all the frost on his body turned into tenderness, and he rushed over and hugged her in his arms.
Yu Rusheng narrowed her eyes.
This man's figure and appearance are too similar to the Ji family in the ancient books of the Yu family...
Just when I was about to look at it again.
The man suddenly raised his eyes, and his cold gaze looked accurately through the bustling crowd and met Yu Rusheng's eyes.
Yu Rusheng felt a chill on his back instantly, and beads of sweat appeared on his face.
He turned his head, pretending to look at the wind and waves on the sea, and ordered: "Start the boat."
"what happened?"
Xie Ling tugged at Gu Wei's sleeve, "What are you looking at?"
Gu Wei looked away coldly, "Nothing."
He pulled open Xie Ling's cloak and pinched her face.
"Who is that person in purple? He is dressed so colorfully, like a peacock."
"It's someone from Zhaoming Bank."
Gu Wei nodded thoughtfully.
After the soldiers finished moving their things, Xie Ling was about to follow them back to the county town when a large ship slowly approached where the sea and the sky met.
The word "Lin" is written on the high-raised sail, and the hull is gorgeous and elegant, like a beast lurking in the dark night, slowly approaching the shore.
When they spotted a strange ship, the soldiers on the tall lighthouse near the dock shouted, "Stop! This is Sinan territory!"
Xie Ling opened her eyes slightly.
I have a rough guess in my mind.
"Could it be...?"
A woman called out from the boat in a clear voice, "We are here to look for someone! Looking for the Sinan County Magistrate, Gu Wei!"
This sentence comes out.
Xie Ling's inner guess became clear in an instant.
It’s Lin Qianzhong and Caiyi!
They came to find themselves!
Xie Ling gestured to the soldier on the lighthouse, "Let him go, he's my friend."
"Okay, Master!"
The big ship stopped and the first two people got off.
The man is as gentle as jade, and the woman is bright and generous.
Xie Ling raised her hands high, "Cai Yi! Cai Yi!"
Caiyi raised her eyes and ran over, "Xie Ling? Why are you at the dock?"
Xie Ling: "I just happened to have something to do. I'm so lucky. Come with me. I'll take you to stay. Have you eaten yet?"
Lin Qianzhong nodded restrainedly, "I ate it."
Caiyi glanced at him and said openly, "He is shameless. We haven't eaten yet. It is said that there will be a storm soon. We dare not delay in order to hurry. Even the men on the boat haven't eaten yet."
Xie Ling smiled: "Okay, follow me and fill your stomach first."
Xie Ling led the way enthusiastically.
She was really excited.
After waiting for so long, Caiyi and the others finally arrived.
Her business plan can now be gradually implemented!
Xie Ling brought Lin Qianzhong and his group to the cafeteria.
The lights in the cafeteria had already been turned off at this time, so Xie Ling asked the aunties to reheat the dishes.
The big pot meals in the cafeteria recently include stewed chicken with potatoes, stir-fried lettuce, mapo tofu, shredded pork with fish flavor, and hot bamboo shoot soup.
The group of people stayed on the boat for more than half a month. They hadn't eaten such delicious and fresh food for a long time. They could only be described as wolfing down the food, adding bowl after bowl.
Xie Ling didn't eat either, so she ate with Caiyi and her husband.
Under the dim oil lamp.
Xie Ling asked: "How are you guys doing lately?"
Caiyi chuckled, "We were supposed to come before the New Year, but Lin Qianzhong inherited the family business and was very busy, so we were delayed for a while."
Xie Ling pondered.
The Lin family is the richest family in Huainan City of Yunqin State.
Lin Qianzhong himself has a strong business acumen, and he was right in choosing this partner.
Lin Qianzhong said, "Miss Xie, I remember you wanted to do salt business with us?"
Lin Qianzhong doesn't have the air of a businessman at all. He has thin eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, and is as gentle as jade. Instead, he looks like a scholar.
Xie Ling nodded, "I'll take care of your men first, and then I'll take you to see it. Don't worry, you won't be disappointed."
