Chapter 70 The trouble with silver

Chapter 70: The Trouble of Silver

Zheng Qing is really a delicate person. With her, she saves a lot of trouble and is lucky to know her. Just as Chen Wanrong turned his mind, Zheng Qing raised a new question and said: "Brother Chen, having a bank treasury may not ensure the safety of the bank. Other methods should be taken."

It would be better if there was a bank, no matter how much money you had, just deposit it directly into the bank. However, there was no bank in the Tang Dynasty. As for the money shop, it was limited in its size, and the other was that it was unsafe to use silver to transport it back and forth. The bank treasury was an inevitable choice.

"What else can I do?" Chen Wanrong didn't know much about Yinku, so he could only ask her for help.

Zheng Qing smiled and said, "First of all, you have to find a resident accountant, be loyal and reliable, and manage your daily income and expenditure."

Accounting is similar to current cashiers and accountants. They do accounts and manage money. This suggestion is very good. Although Chen Wanrong’s current business is not large, after all, there are dozens of people, not far from one hundred people. It can be said that they have increased in scale, so this account needs to be made.

Chen Wanrong thought about this, but he couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while. He said a little embarrassedly: "I have thought about this. Our relatives and friends are all illiterate people. Ai Rong is literate. If he was asked to do the accounting, wouldn't it be a mess of his future?"

It would be much easier to deal with in modern society. We were all educated, knew how to read, and found a few reliable relatives and taught some accounting knowledge. If it really doesn't work, we can also go out to recruit. But this was the Tang Dynasty. Without universal education, it was really stumped by Chen Wanrong.

After thinking about it, Chen Wanrong looked at Zheng Qing and said with a smile: "Qing, why don't you come to be my account? I feel relieved if you help me with it."

"Don't look at others like that, it's so shameful!" Zheng Qing was both ashamed and happy, and a pair of pink fists pounded Chen Wanrong's shoulders lightly, and said angrily: "It's not serious!"

Accounts are the top priority. Chen Wanrong even gave this to herself, which shows that her position in Chen Wanrong's heart is very important. How could Zheng Qing not taste it? She was so happy that she was full of joy.

Chen Wanrong said in an instant: "I'm telling the truth! If you don't want to, forget it."

The relationship between the two has developed to this level, and it is only a matter of breaking the last layer of window paper. Zheng Qing is not unwilling to do so. She turned her head and said slightly playfully: "Brother Chen, don't say such words! Brother Chen, that's the future."

It’s not that I don’t want to, but it’s not possible now. Because my status has not been decided, I’m helping with accounting now. I don’t have to be afraid of making jokes about it. Even if I think about it, it’s quite embarrassing.

Chen Wanrong understood her thoughts. Shyness was a woman's nature, so she could only let her. She pondered: "Even if I go and ask someone to take care of her, I can't invite her for a while. I recognize the scholars in the county hall. They are dedicated to seeking fame and fame and are disdainful of doing such things."

"Brother Chen, why should you leave the distance? Your family has a meticulous and quick-thinking person, who is sincere and reliable. Who else do you need to do if you don't need to?" Zheng Qing helped Chen Wanrong solve the problem.

Chen Wanrong passed the family and shook his head and said, "Zairong is in the East Palace." If Chen Zairong hadn't pursued fame and fortune, he would definitely be relieved.

Zheng Qing corrected: "What people are talking about is not Zairong's younger brother, but Huahua's sister."

Chen Wanrong was really surprised. In Chen Wanrong's impression, this cousin was shy when she saw her face and didn't even talk extra. She blurted out: "She is not suitable, she is meticulous and has a good personality, and she is loyal. It's just that she is illiterate."

Zheng Qingyan smiled: "Brother Chen, if I had a way to let her do the bill, would you leave it to her?" She looked at Chen Wanrong with her eyes flashing.

I understand what she meant. Although I can't come forward to help Chen Wanrong take charge of the account now, I can teach an apprentice, which not only solves Chen Wanrong's problem, but also shows his own feelings. Why not do it in both ways? Chen Wanrong nodded and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

"No!" Zheng Qing was a little shy and said with an idea: "Brother Chen, if there is money in the yard, someone will have to come to guard it. If it doesn't guard it, it will be dangerous."

This is true. If tens of thousands of taels of silver are put here, if no one looks at it, he will be worried. Chen Wanrong thought for a while and said, "I have to recruit some servants. But even if I want to recruit, I may not be able to recruit suitable ones."

Zheng Qing gently pointed to his head and said a long list of conditions: "Yes, this family member can't be recruited casually. If you recruit, you have to change your surname. If you are from Chen, you are a family member. Therefore, this requirement is particularly high. You must be loyal and reliable. You must be smart and have good body shapes. It is best to be able to know some fists and feet."

It’s just like choosing elites. Chen Wanrong got a headache when he heard this. His relatives are honest farmers, and no one is suitable for him after picking them all. Even if there are those who are satisfied, they cannot be sure to do it. After all, changing the surname is to throw away the ancestors. This is a taboo. How many people can do it?

If you don’t change your surname and live a good life, someone will definitely be willing to do it, but you can’t show that the population is prosperous and there is no such thing as a wealthy family. Even if you agree, Chen Laoshi and the others will not do it anyway. It’s really difficult.

Zheng Qing saw Chen Wanrong frowning and knew that he was worried. She smiled and said, "Brother Chen, you don't have to worry. Now, you don't need to recruit servants. Although you have some wealth, you are still far from the wealthy family."

This is the truth. Chen Wanrong's net worth of tens of thousands of taels of silver is simply not worth mentioning compared to Zheng Jianqiu. This is the case, but Zheng Qing's words were too straightforward. As soon as he spoke, he found a grammatical problem and hurriedly apologized: "Brother Chen, I can't speak, don't go to your heart." He looked at Chen Wanrong nervously.

When Chen Wanrong was in his heart, he would not blame her. He smiled and said, "Qing, you are right. My family's background is better than before, and I am not rich at all. I don't know other families, but I am too far from yours."

Zheng Qing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Brother Chen, as long as you work hard, you will definitely surpass our family. I believe you!"

This was a great encouragement. Chen Wanrong was very helpful and nodded and said, "What should I do about this?"

Zheng Qing smiled and made an idea: "You can go to the escort agency for this matter."

The escort agency is similar to the current security company. It not only helps people to escort, but also guards the house. This is equivalent to the security guards in the community today. This is really a good idea. If there is an escort agency guarding it, the three bad guys would not dare to break in like that. Chen Wanrong didn't expect this floor and slapped Zheng's head: "Qing, you are so good! You have come up with such a wonderful idea for me."

"Thank you, Brother Chen for your compliment!" Zheng Qing was still so modest, and then said: "As long as you give money, the escort agency will protect the family. If there is a problem, they will compensate. If there is any damage, it is their own business. Don't worry. When you meet someone with a good heart, you can just pay for it, which is very convenient."

If the security guards in modern communities are attacked and injured or even died, they will solve the problem themselves, and the owners are not responsible. If necessary, they can pay some money. In this case, it is better to hand over to the escort agency to take charge. Chen Wanrong was extremely excited: "Do you know which escort agency has the best reputation and the strongest strength?"

Zheng Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Yanwei Escort Agency has a branch in Ning County, so you can go to Zhao Escort Head to discuss. Yanwei Escort Agency is our first-class escort agency in the Tang Dynasty. It has good reputation and many experts. Even the thieves in the Yangtze River are jealous of three points."

It was great. She solved all the problems with just one word. Chen Wanrong rubbed his hands and looked at Zheng Qing. Zheng Qing said in surprise: "Brother Chen, what are you going to do?"

"I want to reward you!" Chen Wanrong hugged Zheng Qing's waist in shock, and the hands were as soft as cotton and as warm as jade, making people intoxicated. Looking at her pretty face, he whispered: "It's such a blessing in life with you!"

Zheng Qing was so embarrassed that her pink neck was red and begged for mercy softly: "Hurry up, let me go, I'm so embarrassed!"

Looking at her shameful look, Chen Wanrong couldn't bear to make things difficult for her and gently let go: "Let's go back."

"You go!" Zheng Qing was very alert and glanced around. Fortunately, there was no one, so she felt relieved.

She was afraid that Chen Wanrong would suddenly give her a "reward", so she was so embarrassed. Chen Wanrong understood her mood and walked in her head with a smile. After walking a few steps, she looked back and saw that Zheng Qing fell far away, looking at her with affection, very happy.

Zheng Qing saw Chen Wanrong looking at her, and stomped her jade feet on the ground, rolled her eyes wide, and said angrily: "So still see?"

If she looked at it, she would probably turn around and run away in shame. Although Chen Wanrong was reluctant to leave, she had to follow her and quickly go back. It was already very late today, and it was too late to talk to the escort agency, so she had to go tomorrow.

Zheng Qing and Qing'e did not rush back today, but after dinner, they called Han Huahua, and then went home. Chen Wanrong naturally understood that she was going to train Han Huahua, the female accountant.

The next day, Zheng Qing, Qing'e and Han Huahua disappeared. Chen Wangshi asked anxiously: "Wanrong, what's wrong with Huahua? Why haven't she come back yet? This child is really."

Don’t think that you can “make a small meal” for teacher Zheng Qing and step up your studies to make accounts. Chen Wanrong comforted her and said, “Mom, don’t worry, there will be no problem.”

Chen Wangshi gave Chen Wanrong a blank look: "It's not my mother's concern, it's your second aunt's concern." Her daughter didn't come back when she was working hours, so she was naturally worried.

Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "Mom, go and tell me, don't worry. I'll check out Brother Wang's injuries." Without waiting for Chen Wang to speak, he entered Wang Shaohua's room and saw Wang Shaohua leaning half against the head of the bed.

"I've met Brother Chen." Wang Shaohua struggled to sit up.

Chen Wanrong stopped him and said, "Brother Wang, lie down quickly. How do you feel? Isn't it better?"

"Thank you, Brother Chen, you're worried, it's getting better. It's itchy." Wang Shaohua gently stroked the wound with his right hand and said, "I really want to scratch it a few times."

The wound will itch during the healing process, which means that the treatment effect is good. Chen Wanrong said with great confidence: "That's good."

Wang Shaohua raised his thumb and praised: "Brother Chen, your strong wine has a very good effect. I have applied it a few times, which is beneficial to wound healing. It is such a good method!"

Chen Wanrong did not take away the alcohol, but put it in his room. Wang Shaohua could wipe it by himself. His face was much more bloody today, so naturally it was because of the recovery of his injuries. Chen Wanrong took off his clothes and looked at it. He was already closing his mouth. In a few days, he could remove the stitches and smiled and said, "It's too much. Take a break, I'll go out to do something."

"Brother Chen, please give me!" Wang Shaohua gave me respectfully with his fists.

Chen Wanrong left the room, looked around, and was orderly, and then he left with confidence. While walking, Chen Wanrong was also funny. When he had no money, he was thinking about silver. When he had money, he realized that too much money was also troublesome. It was enough to manage it. Needless to say, the bank treasury and safety must not be missing. It was really unexpected.

Yanwei Escort Agency was in the city, and Chen Wanrong passed by the door many times, but he had never been in. At that time, according to the views of martial arts novels and film and television dramas, the Escort Agency was just an escort, and he would never have thought that the Escort Agency would also guard the house.

Although escorts are a major income pillar of the escort agency, it has a lot to do with the current situation. If the situation is chaotic during the war, thieves are rising, and the rewards for escorts are generous, the escort agency may not guard the house.

The situation is just the opposite now. Although the upper class of the Tang Dynasty has been in constant political struggles, the emperor has been diligent, the borders are unstable, and the wars have increased. Overall, the social security of the Tang Dynasty is still good, especially in the mainland. There has been no war in hundreds of years, and the people live and work in peace, and merchants have a convenient and safe relationship.

In this case, it is unlikely that the escort agency only wants to make money by escorts. The guard house is a stable life. If you don’t do it, you have to do it and do it.

This is a courtyard with a tall courtyard wall and a vermilion gate. The four words "Yanwei Escort Agency" are hung on it. This word is not bad, but it is not a good character. It is far from the characters of Wu Jing and Wu Daozi that Chen Wanrong had seen. However, it has a sword-like aura, which should be from the hands of warriors.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard a burst of shouts from inside. I stepped into the gate and saw that there were a huge open space in the yard, and more than a dozen people were practicing fist and sword techniques, with sweat hanging on their foreheads.

They raised their legs and blew up and heard a sound, and they had a sense of momentum, which was not comparable to Chen Wanrong, a person who had not practiced boxing and kicking. As for whether they were excellent martial arts, Chen Wanrong was not a martial arts master, I don’t know, but look at the posture, it was still quite lively.

The middle-aged man who was supervising martial arts practice was very strong. When he saw Chen Wanrong coming in, he strode and asked, "Who are you looking for?" His voice was loud and he said casually, as if he was thundering.

Chen Wanrong bowed and said, "I'm here to find Zhao Biaotou."

"Do you have something important to find a master?" The man looked at Chen Wanrong and asked about his purpose.

Look at his appearance, if Chen Wanrong doesn't answer, he will definitely not let it go. Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "I'll talk to Zhao Piaotou to discuss a deal, please introduce it."

"Please!" The middle-aged man turned sideways and invited him.

Chen Wanrong asked for it, followed the middle-aged man and walked straight into the house. Before he could enter the house, he heard a quarrel coming from the house: "I don't regret it, a gentleman, if I lose, I lose!" The soft voice was completely opposite to this middle-aged man.

"Brother Shao, you have said it before you finish it, how can you lose it?" A sound like a loud bell rang out.

As soon as I stepped in, I saw two old men who were not young playing chess. One finger was holding the chess piece and trying to put it down, the other was blocking it with his arm, refusing to do so. You stared at me, I looked at you, and refused to give in to each other.

"You have a customer to come to you." The middle-aged man bowed to report.

The old man on the left put down the chess piece in his hand, turned his head to look at Chen Wanrong, stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Zhao Xiaotian is polite here, may I ask about the name of Gao." A white beard under his chin indicates that he is not young, but his face is red and energetic, not like an old man, with a straight body, which looks like a middle-aged man.

"I'm here Chen Wanrong, I've seen Zhao's head!" Chen Wanrong saluted with his fists.

Another old man stood up, looked at Chen Wanrong, and said, "Brother Zhao, you are busy first. After the matter is over, we will talk about a few games. We must make you convinced to lose." He walked away quickly.

"Who lost?" Zhao Xiaotian was still dissatisfied and said harshly, then said: "Mr. Chen, please sit down and serve tea!"

The middle-aged man responded quickly, brought a cup of tea and put it in front of Chen Wanrong.

Chen Wanrong thanked him, picked up the teacup and took a sip. The tea was pretty good, not a good tea, nor was it bad. He served this good tea as soon as he met. Zhao PaoTou was much more interesting than Li Qingquan.

Zhao Xiaotian sat down, picked up the teacup, and asked, "Mr. Chen, are you looking for me to leave?"

Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "I dare not, I am not taking an escort, I want to ask a few masters to help me take care of the yard."

It makes more money to take a trip to the house guarding the house. Zhao Xiaotian's face turned dark and he nodded and said, "Thank you for Mr. Chen's respect for our Yanwei Escort Agency, Zhao Xiaotian is very grateful. However, Mr. Chen, please forgive me for being frank. If there are bandits, you should report to the official. After all, we are not an official. Although we can protect us for a while, we cannot protect our entire life."

When the business came to the door, he did not directly discuss the business, but instead warned him first, which was straightforward and made people respect him. Chen Wanrong's favor for him increased greatly and said, "Thank you, the head of the escort, I can take care of myself. Although there is nothing big at home, someone must watch it. I heard that the Yanwei escort agency has good reputation, so I came to him."
