"Zihou, the front is our Taicang's silver vault, slow down, be careful of the steps......" Jia Langzhong led Zhu Ping'an to the front of the silver vault, and turned around to remind Zhu Ping'an to pay attention to his feet when going up the steps. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The location of the silver vault is about 50 centimeters higher than the ground, which is for the sake of waterproofing, and on the other hand, it is also to make the view of the silver vault more open and easy to monitor.

It is said that it is a silver vault, but it is actually divided into two parts: a vault and a silver vault.

Outside the gates of the vault and the silver vault, there are plaques with the words "Daming Jiajing Vault" and "Daming Jiajing Silver" respectively.

Heavily guarded.

You can see the naked fruit body of the treasury soldiers, in and out, carrying silver taels.

"This silver vault and silver treasury are the most heavily guarded places in Taicang, in Taicang, only treasury soldiers can touch gold and silver, and others are not allowed to touch even one or two silvers even if they are in charge of the treasury. The Heavenly Sage decreed that '200,000 taels should be allocated to order Tao Tianshi to perform a ceremonial ceremony of calming the gods in Jianyuanyue in Wudang Mountain', and they were carrying the 200,000 taels of silver and loading them into a car and sending them to the inner house. ”

walked on the platform and stood outside the gate of the Taicang Silver Warehouse, Jia Langzhong pointed to the warehouse soldiers who came in and out, and said to Zhu Ping'an.

Zhu Ping'an nodded and looked at the Taicang Silver Vault.

The hall officer who was guarding the treasury soldiers inside the gate saw Jia Langzhong and Zhu Ping'an, and hurriedly came forward to salute.

"In Taicang, it is your cousin's responsibility that is the most important, and you must not relax in the slightest, you are busy with yours, don't worry about us." Jia Langzhong waved his hand with a serious face, signaling that the hall official did not need to salute and hurried back to his work.

"Retire from your duties."

When the court official heard this, he retreated and returned to the front of the gate to supervise.

"Zihou, don't blame it." After Jia Langzhong saw the hall official return to his post, he turned around and explained to Zhu Ping'an, "The hall official is responsible for supervising the treasury soldiers, strictly preventing the entrainment and private hiding of the treasury soldiers, which is related to the safety of the Taicang treasury, and not a single cent can be sloppy." ”

"How can it be, Lord Jia is loyal and strict in his duties, and it's too late to be convinced, how can he blame it." Zhu Ping'an shook his head and pulled the corners of his lips slightly.

"If everyone understands us like Lord Zhu, then our errand in Taicang will be easy to handle." Jia Langzhong said with emotion, listening to the words in the words.

"Where, where......" Zhu Ping'an tugged at the corners of his mouth.

At this time, there were about 20 treasury soldiers under the supervision of the court officials, carrying the Taicang silver warehouse in and out, busy carrying the silver from the silver warehouse to the outside of the warehouse, weighing, packing, sealing, and then loading it onto the vehicle escorted to the inner warehouse.

There were some spicy eyes on the scene.

The soldiers were all young and strong men, about twenty or thirty years old, and they all wore silver bank clothes and trousers. The top is a sleeveless gown with the word "Taicang" written on it, and a simple crotch trouser underneath.

The two treasury soldiers worked together to take out a box of silver from the treasury, weighed and recorded it under the supervision of the court officials, and then moved it out of the warehouse, affixed a seal, and placed it in a fixed position outside the warehouse.

After moving this box of silver, the treasury soldiers returned to the silver warehouse again to carry the next box of silver.

When they return to the vault, they have to be inspected again, as if they had just entered the vault.

Outside the gate of the silver vault, the treasury soldiers took off their clothes and went naked to the lobby to be inspected by the hall officials.

"Quack~Quack~"

Ku Bing was naked in front of the hall official, squatting down, his hands straightened, exposing his ribs, and then bent his legs slightly and jumped twice vigorously, slapped his hands on the top of his head, and learned to quack loudly in his mouth.

After these actions are done.

Further forward, there was a long bench in front, and the Ku soldiers stepped over the stool in turn, shouting "come out" in their mouths at the same time.

Through the above behaviors, he proves that he does not have any silver in his body, armpits, mouth, or hands.

After this series is completed, the court official will be allowed to enter the treasury.

When they entered the treasury, they changed into the uniform clothes and trousers of the treasury, carried the silver taels again, and returned to the treasury after carrying them, and had to go through the above-mentioned series of inspections.

That is to say, every time they go out of the treasury, they have to go through the above checks, and only after they have finished carrying the silver taels and after the inspection can they put on their own clothes and go home from work.

"In Taicang, only the treasury soldiers can touch the treasury silver, so undressing, shouting, stretching, clapping, squatting and jumping, is to prevent the treasury soldiers from carrying silver taels, to ensure that the Taicang treasury does not lose a penny or a penny of silver."

Jia Langzhong explained to Zhu Ping'an on the side.

Zhu Ping'an nodded when he heard this.

In fact, in my heart, I didn't think so.

If this could ensure that not a single penny or silver tael was lost in the treasury, then the largest theft of the Qing Dynasty's treasury hundreds of years later would not have occurred.

When Zhu Ping'an was in modern times, out of curiosity, he carefully studied the treasury theft case of the Qing Dynasty.

It seems that the above-mentioned inspection process of Kubing is seamless, and there is no loophole to be drilled, but in fact?

If these treasury soldiers really can't get any oil and water, then why are there hundreds of related households who break their heads, sharpen their heads, and send a large amount of silver to compete for the position of a treasury soldier?

There are 50 soldiers in each period, and a batch of soldiers must be rotated every five years.

These treasury soldiers are basically hereditary, and they have always been competing for circulation in the circle of this hereditary treasury soldier family.

And there is a very interesting thing is that when the treasury soldiers are rotated, whenever someone secretly determines a treasury soldier position through layers of competition such as gifts and relationships, they will spend a lot of money and hire several martial arts masters as bodyguards, inseparable, and defend them for a short time.

Because each rotation of the treasury soldiers, it has to go through a point link, by the household department or Taicang's top leader - the minister of the treasury in the household department to point the mao, go through the process, after the point is completed, the position of the treasury soldier is finally determined.

If anyone is late or fails to arrive at the time of the order, then the position of the warehouse soldier will have to be replaced.

As for the relationship and money you fought before, then I'm sorry, I can only think of it as being blown away by the wind.

Therefore, at this time, if the Ku soldier did not hire a bodyguard to ensure that he successfully clicked Mao, if someone else knew about it, he would be kidnapped or imprisoned, so that you could not order Mao, and then take your place.

Therefore, under such fierce competition, the position of Kubing must be very good.

Yes.

There are policies above, and there are countermeasures below.

It seems that the Taicang Silver Treasury has strict inspection of the entry and exit of the Treasury soldiers, but for the Treasury soldiers who have been replaced for generations, it does not prevent them from stealing the treasury silver, and the skills of stealing the Treasury that have been passed down from generation to generation can still be effective in Taicang and be carried forward step by step.

In fact, the main reason why they stole the treasury silver was human entrainment.

The Kubing family has been passed down from generation to generation, and the children of these Kubing families have exercised a set of skills to steal treasury silver from an early age - "Gudao Tibetan Silver".

That is, through the chrysanthemum treasury silver, they have exercised this skill since childhood, first smeared with oil on the eggs, stuffed with chrysanthemums, and carried out running, walking, jumping exercises, after mastering it, they replaced the eggs with duck eggs, goose eggs, and finally 10 taels of iron pills, of course, at this time you need a prop called pig bladder.

It is said that if the "Gudao Tibetan Silver" is practiced, ten smooth and edgeless silver ingots can be carried each time, which adds up to 100 taels of silver.

Zhu Ping'an stood there and watched for a while, and found that at least two of the Ku soldiers had swollen abdomen and something wrong with their walking posture, which was likely to be the master of "Gudao Tibetan Silver".

However, Zhu Ping'an's face remained unchanged and he did not make a sound.

Compared with the officials in Taicang, these treasury soldiers who steal silver through human entrainment are really trivial, at best they are little ants stealing wheat, which is not worth mentioning.

Hitting grass will scare snakes.

This kind of mistake because of a small mistake, Zhu Ping'an will never do.
