Daming Military Empire

Chapter 492
On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, it snowed heavily and the city was covered with snow. Although the temperature is very low, the streets are still full of people. The Chinese New Year is coming, and even the major yamen are closed. Who would want to spend their free time on the streets? Go shopping.

However, there is one business that is the busiest at this time, and that is the shops on both sides of the street. The time before the Chinese New Year is the busiest time for business, and everyone is free to go shopping, so the shops are naturally the busiest.

The business of the Daming Royal Four Headquarters is also booming at this time. The middle section of East Chang'an Avenue is almost crowded, but there are still people flowing there. In the evening, the number of people has not decreased, but has increased many trends.

It's almost dark, why are you still squeezing in, do you want to fish for something while the lights are dark?

Of course not, the four main 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 Daming Royal Nikko Bank head office was already brightly lit, and the sound of abacus was heard in every room, and almost everyone was lowering their heads to settle their accounts. They didn't look like they were going home from get off work.

No way, the business of the Royal Nikko Bank of Daming is too big. Not only is it in charge of the currency distribution of the 35 provinces in the two capitals of the Ming Dynasty and the two Zhili prefectures, but also the demand for dragon coins and Chongzheng Tongbao from the vassal states and even the allies is also comparable to that of Japan. The rapid increase, the New Year's Eve is approaching, and if you don't work overtime, the account is really endless.

At this time, Luo Yangxing was also sitting in his office, fiddling with the abacus beads. In front of him were several large stacks of ledgers, all of which were general ledgers. Provincial currency issuance general ledger, currency issuance general ledger of vassal states, currency issuance general ledger of allied countries, etc.

What he is checking is the general ledger of Dragon Coin issuance. It's not that he doubts the calculation ability of his subordinates, but that these accounts are too important. If there is a wrong number, it will be tens of millions or even tens of millions. The entry and exit of the two cannot be reviewed too many times.

After doing the calculations three times, he closed the account book with satisfaction, and his face slowly showed excitement. It really exceeded one billion taels, and the circulation of dragon coins exceeded one billion taels in less than two years!

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

Just when he was very excited, there was a sudden knock on the door of the room. After so long, he was also tired, and just in time to take a rest, he carefully put the ledger back to its original position, leaned back on the chair, and then Loudly said: "Come in."

He thought it was a subordinate who came to deliver the ledger or report the situation, but it was a Jinyiwei Qianhu who came in.

Ordinary people would be scared when they saw Jin Yiwei, but he didn't show any panic expression, instead he sat there with a smile, as if he was waiting for his junior to come to say hello.

The old Luo family is the hereditary commander of Jinyiwei. Although he resigned from the position of commander, the prestige of the Luo family in Jinyiwei is still unmatched. What is a small thousand households? The current Jinyiwei commander Wang Zhengnan He used to be his little brother!

Sure enough, after Jin Yiwei Qianhu came in, he didn't look like he was arrogant like he was elsewhere, but instead walked up to him respectfully, performed a standard military salute, and said loudly: "Lord Xiao Luo, Your Majesty invites you Have a meal."

Well, sure enough, Luo Yangxing nodded in satisfaction, and asked kindly: "When and where?"

This expression is a bit wrong, that Jin Yiwei Qianhu replied with a strange face: "Master Xiao Luo, right now, the emperor wants you to go to Chang'an Restaurant immediately."

Luo Yangxing saw Qianhu's strange expression, and then realized that it was the emperor's treat, not his father's old subordinates who came to flatter him!

He was so frightened that he immediately jumped up from the chair, rubbed his hands together in embarrassment, and said, "Oh, oh, it's the emperor, I'm so confused about this calculation, go, take me there quickly."

After all, we are going to run outside.

That Qianhu stood there, reminding embarrassingly: "Master Xiao Luo, you haven't put on any clothes yet!"

The meaning of what he said is not that Luo Yangxing is naked, but that there is the latest type of heater in this room, and it is very hot, so Luo Yangxing wears very little. In the winter, he wants to go out like this, no It would be strange to be frozen into a popsicle.

Hearing this, Luo Yangxing slapped his forehead, walked to a closet next to him, put on the cotton-padded clothes under the service of the thousand households, and then picked out his coat.

As he was choosing and choosing, his hands stopped suddenly, and then he turned back nervously and asked, "Where did you just say that the emperor invited me to dinner?"

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

Oops, Chang'an Restaurant is owned by his brother-in-law, the emperor probably wants to beat him up!

He asked with a little panic, "Is the emperor angry?"

The Jinyiwei Qianhu naturally knew who opened the Chang'an Restaurant, and he quickly comforted him: "Master Xiao Luo, don't worry, the emperor is happy, the old man just said casually, there is no one against you when you go to the largest restaurant on Chang'an Avenue." mean."

Hearing this, Luo Yangxing breathed a sigh of relief. Immediately, he rolled his eyes, picked out a sable fur coat, and put some on his body.

After Jin Yiwei Qianhu helped him put on his coat, his face became even weirder, as if he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.

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

It was a bit funny to wear this coat on him, so Qianhu couldn't help but nodded in embarrassment.

Luo Yangxing reached out and patted the back of his head, and scolded with a smile: "You know what, this coat is expensive, and it costs thousands of taels of silver. It doesn't look good on me, but women look good on it, and It's still very warm, I'm too lazy to tell you, hurry up and go."

After all, he lifted his foot and walked outside.

That Qianhu really didn't know what Master Xiaoluo meant. He thought about it for a while, but still didn't understand, so he could only follow along with the back of his head in doubt.

Chang'an Restaurant is not far from the four headquarters, there is a team of Jin Yiwei opening the way, Luo Yangxing soon came to the gate of Chang'an Restaurant.

At this time, although there was no obvious big battle outside the gate of Chang'an Restaurant, Jin Yiwei's spies were everywhere, vaguely surrounding the entire restaurant.

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

The secret agent of Jinyiwei yelled in a decent manner: "Guest officer, you are here."

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

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

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

He was about to go to see the ceremony, when a receptionist suddenly ran up and said courteously: "Oh, my lord, you are coming, why didn't you let me know in advance, now Tianzihao..."

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

The waiter in the store was stunned by the scolding, and he didn't know what to do when he stood there. Luo Yangxing didn't have time to take care of the bulk goods, so he directly walked up to the emperor and said in a low voice: "This, the emperor, the emperor."

Only now did he realize that the emperor was wearing casual clothes and was sitting in the lobby on the first floor. He obviously didn't want people to know his identity, so he didn't dare to call out the word "emperor" after being emperor for a long time .

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

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

Luo Yangxing took advantage of the situation and sat down, carefully asked: "Young Master Huang, who is this?"

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