Chapter 454 Strange things about the bank (please subscribe!)
Seeing the smile on Zhang Twelve's face, the servants of the bank immediately hit the rails while the iron was hot: "Young master, of course it is possible to exchange, but we have to charge some exchange fees!"

This replacement fee is equivalent to the handling fee that Zhang Twelve knew in his previous life. This is also understandable. Others can't help you for nothing, can they?
After all, in the era Zhang Twelve lived in, not to mention inter-bank charges, even electronic payments later began to charge fees. This is not surprising to him, and it is still easy to accept.

So he nodded and asked, "What is the percentage of the replacement fee?"

It was the first time that the servant of the bank saw such a happy customer as Zhang Twelve, and he was very excited, but after thinking about it again, he is a person with a net worth of more than [-], so it is normal for him not to care about such a small amount as the replacement fee. What kind of people would make a fuss!

If this business is successful, he can also get a lot of benefits from it, so he said with a smile: "My lord, this replacement fee is for every 1000 taels of replacement, we have to pay one tael to our bank!"

Oh, history is always strikingly similar!
In the previous life, wasn't the handling fee for a certain letter and a certain treasure just one-thousandth?I didn't expect to travel to a different time and space, and the handling fee was still charged like this...

"I need to pay a handling fee of 1000 taels, so I have nearly 10 taels of silver, so that's 100 taels? Well, it's acceptable!"

Zhang Twelve readily agreed, thinking that the 10 taels are all for nothing, and only 100 taels, so there is no need to feel bad!

Now he only hopes to get rid of the gold and silver as soon as possible, and take the silver ticket on the road lightly. After all, the weird man in the bamboo hat he saw just now made him feel a little worried. This Quzhou City is not suitable for staying too long!
"Come on! Young master is really straightforward, so why don't you count the gold and silver now?"

The servants of the bank were delighted and asked tentatively.

"Okay, let's count as soon as possible, we still have to hurry!"

"Okay! Young master, wait a moment, and the younger one will call the other people in the bank to count together!"

Saying that, the servant of the bank shouted to the back, and two or three people came out immediately, under the command of the servant, they began to count the gold and silver...

…………

The efficiency of the servants of these banks is quite fast, and the money was counted in about a quarter of an hour.

The servant of the bank smiled at Zhang Twelve with the written list: "Young Master, we have finished counting, and the total is one hundred thousand and two hundred taels. How about you look at the list yourself?"

Zhang Twelve didn't have the time to read it. According to his estimate, these are about 10 taels, so he is still very satisfied with the figures reported by the servants of the bank.

"No need, 200 and 10 taels, right? Just give me 100 taels of bank notes, and 100 taels will be counted as the replacement fee for the bank, and [-] taels will be regarded as the hard work of counting gold and silver for you guys." !"

Said very proudly.

"Young master... this... this can't be done! This is too much!"

The servants of the bank have never seen such a large-scale customer. The replacement fee of 100 taels is not blinked, and they are directly given 100 taels-what a hard fee...

The point is, they don't work too hard!

That's why he seemed flattered.

But as soon as he said this, the servants behind who helped to count just now were not happy, and kept stabbing him from behind.

"Don't you want it? If you don't want it, I won't give it to you?"

Zhang Twelve continued with a smile.

"Don't—my lord!"

"Yes, we will, my lord!"

The other two hurriedly expressed their opinions, and Zhang Twelve smiled even more, but he asked curiously, "Where's your shopkeeper?"

Although 10 taels is not a big deal in Zhang Twelve's opinion, it must be a big deal for such a bank, right?

For example, in the previous life, if the bank went to a super VIP customer, it was common for the bank manager to come out to receive him, but the shopkeeper didn't even show his face, so he was too cold, right?
The servant of the bank heard this, scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Young master, don't mind, just now there happened to be a distinguished guest from the bank, and the shopkeeper went to receive him, otherwise he would definitely come out to meet you, if you are not in a hurry, You can wait, our shopkeeper will definitely come over when he is done with work!"

Logically speaking, for such a big customer, the shopkeeper would definitely come out to receive them, but just now the guards of the general's mansion came in a hurry, so the shopkeeper couldn't come over, and the servants of the Qianzhuang hurriedly explained to Zhang Twelve.

Zhang Twelve understood, smiled and waved his hands, he was just asking casually, he didn't really want the shopkeeper to receive him, besides, he was in a hurry to get on the road now, how could he have the time to wait for him?

"No need, just give me the silver ticket!"

"Okay, young master, wait a moment, the little one will come as soon as he goes!"

With a contented smile on his face, he trotted towards the inside of the bank, probably to get a bank note, after all, 10 taels is not a small number.

Now that the dust has settled, Zhang Twelve is quite proud. He didn't expect that every time he goes out, there will be some windfalls. It seems that he has to come out often. This is much faster than doing business to make money!

…………

Unexpectedly, the servant left for nearly a quarter of an hour and hadn't returned yet. Zhang Twelve felt that something was wrong, so he asked the others, "Why haven't you recovered yet?"

"My lord, wait a little longer, and I'll hurry up, little one!"

Saying that, another servant also ran to the back...

After a short meeting, the servant from the bank who first said he was going to collect the banknote came back, but his hand was empty, and his face was a little embarrassed. He looked at Zhang Twelve and said hesitatingly: "Mr...Mr. Sorry, I misremembered the small one! Because too many people have come to our bank to exchange bank notes recently, so now the bank notes in the bank are less than 10 taels, and the small one is just what our shopkeeper said, it is really not good Excuse me—how about, young master, wait a little longer, and we can think of a solution?"

After hearing this, Zhang Twelve's eyes narrowed, and a sneer flashed across his mouth!
If this servant of the bank was telling the truth, he would definitely not have reacted like this, but now, he is obviously telling a lie!

It is true that many people have come to the bank to exchange things recently because of the rise in food prices, but most of the people are afraid that the silver bills will depreciate in this food disaster, so they replace the silver bills in their hands with gold and silver for storage. The gold and silver in the bank There will be fewer banknotes, but there will be more banknotes. Where will the decrease in banknotes come from?

And the little girl just said what their shopkeeper said, it seems that their shopkeeper has finished his work, and he can't come out when he is done, but he hides behind and gives orders-if something goes wrong, there must be a demon!
The Xiaoer said earlier that a distinguished guest came from the bank to find their shopkeeper. Although he didn't know who the distinguished guest was, Zhang Twelve guessed that the person who came was probably related to him!
Therefore, Zhang Twelve decided to test it again to see if there was really something wrong with it, so he asked again: "Is it less than 10 taels of silver bill?"

"Yes, son, it's only a little bit less than 10 taels..."

The servant paused for a moment before speaking.

"A little bit closer? How much difference is that?"

Zhang Twelve continued to ask, not giving him a chance to breathe.

"Ah—this... probably a few thousand taels..."

Turning his eyes, the servant replied.

"That's it—then you can give me as many banknotes as you have! I won't exchange the remaining gold and silver, just take them away!"

Zhang Twelve said in a deep voice.

"what--"

"What? Can't you?"

"No—my lord, it's all right, but you have to go back and take out the bank notes..."

The servant obviously didn't expect Zhang Twelve to say such a word suddenly, he seemed a little at a loss, and said in a hurry.

"Okay, go and come back!"

Zhang Twelve smiled. If it still doesn't work this time, there must be something tricky in it, so he didn't wait any longer and left directly!

He still has another method, which is to store the gold and silver in his bracelet, it is very convenient for him to put it there, the reason why he didn't do this before is because Mo Li and the others all With him by his side, it was unreasonable to directly confiscate the two boxes of gold and silver, so he chose to exchange them for silver notes.

But now I can't change the silver ticket, and it's too clumsy to carry such a heavy thing on the road, so I can only use the method of putting it in a bracelet!
At worst, after they left the bank, he asked Mo Li and the others to wait for him in the alley for a while, and said that he would come to the bank for a change, put the gold and silver in the bracelet in a place where no one was around, and then turn back. !
After the bank servant went back, it was useless and ran back again, with an even more embarrassing expression on his face, and said to Zhang Twelve in a weak voice: "My lord, I'm really sorry! Our shopkeeper went out to raise money... shopkeeper The old one is not here, and the young one can’t make the decision, or you can just wait a little longer, and the shopkeeper may be able to raise money to come back in a short time, and then he will be able to replace it for you!”

Ha ha……

Zhang Twelve sneered twice in his heart, he thought he was stupid and wanted to drag himself back!
I believe in your evil!
"It's unnecessary today! If that's the case, then I'll go back to my residence and wait for a day, and at this time tomorrow, I'll bring gold and silver to replace it. I hope you will be ready by then!"

With that said, Zhang Twelve was about to direct Lu San and Du Lang to move the box back to the carriage.

When the servants saw it, they panicked, and hurriedly stopped them and said, "Young Master, don't be in a hurry, just wait a little longer, if you really wait a little longer, our shopkeeper will be back!"

"Why, are you still planning to not let us go?"

Zhang Twelve's eyes turned cold, he stared at this servant and said.

"Ah - dare not, the little one dare not!"

Speaking of this, the servant stepped aside awkwardly, and Lu San and Du Lang hurriedly put the box on the car.

This person is also very depressed.

Why did the duck that came to its mouth fly away like this?

100 taels of replacement fee!

100 taels of hard work!

It turned out that I worked for the past year, and I am afraid that I didn't come as many as this time!

He was full of confidence at first, thinking that he could make the money by telling the shopkeeper, but who would have thought that the shopkeeper would let him tell that kind of nonsense, and let himself try to hold them back as much as possible?

There are obviously 10,000+ taels of banknotes in the bank, so what if they are not talking nonsense?

But since the shopkeeper made such a request, even if he didn't like it, there was nothing he could do. He could only follow the shopkeeper's instructions, and he tried his best to keep them, but seeing the sharp look in the young man's eyes, he He flinched, as if there was an invisible pressure covering him, making him dare not stop again!

Seeing the group of five of them carrying the boxes into the carriage, and then leaving slowly, this servant feels that it is a pity. I can only hope that what the young man said just now is the truth, come again at this time tomorrow...

It's just that I don't know, he won't hold prejudice against what they did today, and won't pay them for their hard work tomorrow?

As soon as Zhang Twelve and the others left, the servants from the other bank surrounded the servant who had spoken just now, with dissatisfaction on their faces, and they started talking in a hurry.

"Ma Huadong, what's the matter with you? Such a big customer said to drive away and drove away? If you don't want the 100 taels of hard work, give it to us!"

The person who spoke was very dissatisfied with Ma Huadong. When the young man said he would give them 100 taels of silver just now, he hypocritically said no.
The servant named Ma Huadong was also in a hurry: "What do you want me to drive away? Do you think I don't want the hard work?"

Hearing what he said, several other people were even more dissatisfied. Do they know how many bank notes the bank has, and they said it was not enough for 10 taels.
"Ma Huadong, you have the face to say this! Who knows how many bank notes are in the bank? How dare you say it's not enough for 10 taels?"

"Yeah, it's your nonsense that keeps us from earning the 100 taels, you despicable villain!"

"........."

As he said this, it became a personal attack on Ma Huadong. Although he was very angry, it was difficult for one person to fight four mouths. Ma Huadong, who was full of anger in his stomach, roared: "Do you think I am willing? I am the shopkeeper. Let me tell you, what can I do?"

"What? What does the shopkeeper mean? How is this possible?"

"That's right, it shouldn't be! Doesn't the shopkeeper usually hope to have such a rich customer?"

Hearing that it was the shopkeeper, these people were even more puzzled...

"Then how do I know?"

Ma Huadong said angrily, and suddenly thought of something, he patted his forehead and said: "No, the shopkeeper told me to hold them back no matter what, but I just let them go, no, I You have to tell the shopkeeper immediately!"

After finishing speaking, Ma Huadong hurried to the door of the wing room in the backyard of the bank, knocked on the door, and a middle-aged male voice came from inside: "Who is it?"

"The shopkeeper is me!"

After a while, the door opened, and a middle-aged fat man with a goatee appeared in front of Ma Huadong, looked at him and said, "Are those people still waiting in front?"

"Boss, I can't stop them no matter what, they're leaving!"

"What? Gone?"

At this time, there was a shout in the room, it was the follower who came out of the general's mansion just now!
"Master Song, this...look..."

The shopkeeper was also a little helpless, he really wanted to see big customers, but he had no choice but to reluctantly part with what the master of the guard's mansion asked him to do...

"Humph!"

Master Song snorted coldly, and walked away with his sleeves, leaving the two of them staring at each other...
