On the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, the snow was clear, and the capital was covered with silver. Although the temperature was very low, there were still crowds on the streets. The Chinese New Year was about to be celebrated, and even the major yamen were on holiday. Who wouldn't want to take advantage of this free time to stroll around the streets?

However, at this time, there is a business that is the busiest, that is, the shops on both sides of the street. Before the Chinese New Year, the business was the most prosperous. Everyone had time to come to shop and buy things, so the shops were naturally the busiest.

The business of the four major royal units of the Ming Dynasty was also very prosperous at this time. The middle section of East Chang'an Street was almost crowded, but there were still people gathering there. In the evening, the abortion did not decrease, but there was an increasing trend.

It's almost dark, so what's going on in there? Do you want to get something while it's dark?

Of course not. All four major numbers have electric lights, which are more lively at night than during the day!

At this time, the office area on the top floor of the General Account of the Royal Rixing Bank of Ming Dynasty was already brightly lit, and there were crackling abacus sounds in every room, and almost everyone was lying down on their heads to settle the accounts. That way, there was no stance to go home from get off work.

There is no way, the business of the Royal Japanese Bank of the Ming Dynasty was too big. Not only did it manage the currency distribution of the thirty-five provinces of the Ming Dynasty and the two Zhili Prefectures, but the demand for dragon coins and Chongzheng Tongbao in various vassal states and even allies also increased dramatically with the Japanese. The New Year is approaching, and if you don’t work overtime, you can’t finish this account.

At this time, Luo Yangxing was also sitting in his office, tugging the abacus beads, and in front of him were several large stacks of books, all of which were general ledgers, including the general ledger of dragon coins, the general ledger of Chongzheng Tongbao Issuance, the general ledger of gold and silver reserves, the general ledger of currency issuance of various provinces, the general ledger of currency issuance of various vassal states, the general ledger of currency issuance of all ally countries, etc.

What he is checking is the general ledger of the issuance of Dragon Coin. It is not that he has doubts about his subordinates' calculation ability, but that these accounts are too important. Any number that is wrong is a number of dozens or millions or even tens of millions of taels. It is not an exaggeration to review it many times.

After forgetting it three times, he closed the account book with satisfaction, and slowly showed an excited look on his face. It really exceeded one billion taels. In less than two years, the issuance of Dragon Coins has exceeded one billion taels!

When the emperor proposed the number of 1 billion taels, he thought it was just a dream. He was afraid he would not see it in this life, but he never thought it would be realized so soon!

Just when he was very excited, the door was suddenly knocked. After forgetting that for so long, he was tired. After resting, he carefully put the account book back into the original position, leaned on the back of the chair, and then said aloud: "Come in."

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

Most people are afraid when they see the Jinyiwei, but he has no panic expression at all. Instead, he sits there with a smile, as if waiting for his juniors to come to pay their respects.

The old Luo family is the commander of the Jinyiwei. Although he has stepped down as the commander, the Luo family's prestige among the Jinyiwei is still unmatched. What is a small thousand household? Wang Zhengnan, the commander of the Jinyiwei, was once his younger brother!

Sure enough, after the Jinyiwei Qianhu came in, he did not look arrogant and arrogant when he went anywhere else. Instead, he walked up to him with a respectful face, gave a standard military salute, and said aloud: "Mr. Xiao Luo, the emperor invites you to dinner."

Well, indeed, he didn't forget his roots. Luo Yangxing nodded with satisfaction and asked kindly: "When, where?"

This expression is a bit wrong. The Jinyiwei Qianhu replied with a strange face: "Reply to Lord Xiao Luo, now, the emperor asked you to go to Chang'an Restaurant immediately."

Luo Yangxing saw the strange expressions of the thousand households, and then realized that it was the emperor treating him, not his father's old subordinates who came to flatter him!

He was so scared that he immediately jumped out of the chair, rubbed his hands awkwardly, "Oh, it's the emperor, I'm confused about the settlement. Let's go, take me there quickly."

After that, I was about to run outside.

But the Qianhu was standing there and reminded awkwardly: "Mr. Xiao Luo, you are not wearing clothes yet!"

What he said was not that Luo Yangxing was bare-butt, but that there was the latest heating in this room, which was very hot, and Luo Yangxing was wearing very little. In this winter, it would be strange if he wanted to go out like this and not be frozen into popsicles.

Upon hearing this, Luo Yangxing slapped his forehead, walked to a wardrobe next to him, put on a cotton coat under the service of the thousand households, and then picked up a coat.

As he chose, his hand suddenly stopped. Then, he turned around with a nervous look on his face and asked, "You just said, where did the emperor invite me to have a meal?"

The Qianhu immediately replied loudly: "Chang'an Restaurant."

Oh no, Chang'an restaurant was run by his brother-in-law. The emperor wouldn't want to hit him!

He asked in a little panic: "Are the emperor angry?"

The Jinyiwei Qianhu naturally knew who opened the Chang'an Restaurant. He quickly comforted him: "Mr. Xiao Luo, don't worry, the emperor was happy. He said casually, "Go to the largest restaurant on Chang'an Street, there is no intention to target you."

Luo Yangxing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. Then, his eyes turned, and he picked out a sable coat and put it on his body.

After the Jinyiwei Qianhu served him with his coat, his face became even more strange. He seemed to want to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.

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

It was indeed a bit funny to wear this coat on him, and the Qianhu couldn't help but nodded awkwardly.

Luo Yangxing reached out and patted the back of his head, and cursed with a smile: "You know, this jacket is expensive, it costs thousands of taels of silver per piece. It's a bit bad to wear on me. Women's clothes look good, and they're very warm. I'm too lazy to tell you, hurry up and go."

After saying that, he raised his foot and walked out.

The Qianhu really didn't know what Lord Xiao Luo meant. After thinking about it for a while, he still didn't understand, so he had to touch the back of his head and followed in confusion.

The Chang'an Restaurant is not far from the four major general accounts. A team of Jinyiwei opened the way. Luo Yangxing soon arrived outside the gate of the Chang'an Restaurant.

At this time, although there was no obvious big scene outside the gate of Chang'an Restaurant, there were spies from Jinyiwei everywhere, vaguely surrounding the entire restaurant.

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

The secret spy of the Jinyiwei shouted decently: "Call, you are here."

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

Luo Yangxing nodded, tidyed up 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 over to see him when a waiter who was welcoming guests suddenly ran up and said attentively: "Oh, master, you are here, why didn't you tell me in advance? Now the size of the sky is...."

Luo Yangxing rolled his eyes and whispered: "Get out, just pretend you don't know me."

The waiter was stunned by the scolding. He didn't know what to do if he stood there. Luo Yangxing had time to take care of this stock. He came directly to the emperor and whispered: "This, emperor, emperor..."

Only then did he realize that the emperor was wearing casual clothes and sat 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 "天天" after a long time.

Zhu Cijiu looked at his clothes with great interest, and then gave a wink at Wang Zhengnan next to him.

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

Luo Yangxing sat down and asked carefully: "Young Master Huang, are you?"

Zhu Cijiu directly pushed the menu in front of him and smiled and said, "Order the dishes first, I'll treat you today."
